The Dana Show with Dana Loesch - Hurricanes, Scandals, & Stranded Soldiers: The Politics Behind Disaster Response
Episode Date: October 8, 2024Kamala Harris complains that Florida Gov. Ron Desantis didn’t pick up her phone call about Hurricane Helene as DeSantis confirms he is already receiving help from President Biden. Doug Emhoff was re...portedly a foul-mouthed 'a**hole' and 'misogynist' who hired a 'trophy secretary' because she was pretty at his law firm. Dana explains the difference in two ideologies when approaching hurricane response in red vs blue states. Could North Carolina’s hurricane response help Trump in the election? 40 US Soldiers were stranded in Israel on Oct 7 and Hamas knew their names, rank and locations. Kamala Harris continued her failing media tour on The View and Howard Stern. Actor and Filmmaker Dean Cain joins us to discuss the DeSantis vs. Kamala hurricane fight, the state of the race, his new film, "God's Not Dead - In God We Trust" and more.Please visit our great sponsors:Black Rifle Coffeehttps://blackriflecoffee.com/danaUse code DANA to save 20% on your next order.

But she said, you know, a moment of crisis, if nothing else, should really be the moment that anyone calls himself a leader, says they're going to put politics aside and put the people first.
People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games at this moment in these crisis situations.
These are the height of emergency situations.
It's just utterly irresponsible and it's selfish.
And it's about political gamemanship.
What's your response?
Well, I think she should look in the mirror.
We've been on an emergency footing for two weeks straight.
Round the clock 24-7.
We've been working, my office, our Division of Emergency Management,
helping people prepare for Hurricane Helene,
helping effectuate rescues of people after Hurricane Helene,
helping people pick up the pieces of their lives after Helene,
and then have to also turn around and prepare for major impacts
and maybe even more impacts from Hurricane Milton,
be able to have rescue personnel ready to help people,
and then, of course, help with the power restoration,
all these things to do.
So that's been my sole focus.
My focus has not been on dealing with Kamala Harris.
I saw the news report.
I didn't know she tried to contact me,
but I'd also say it's not about you, Kamala.
It's about the people of Florida.
My focus is exactly where it should be,
and I can tell you this.
I've worked on these hurricanes under both President Trump
and President Biden.
Neither of them ever tried to politicize it.
She has never called on any of the storms we've had
since she's been vice president until apparently now.
Why all of a sudden is she trying to parachute in
and inject herself when she's never shown any interest in the past?
We know it's because of politics.
We know it's because of her campaign.
I have zero time to entertain these political games.
We're going to continue to do what we need to do
to prepare and respond.
to what may be one of the most damaging storms in the history of the United States.
So she says focusing on protecting your people is selfish.
I think she ought to look in the mirror.
Well, and that's the big sound bite right there.
So that's the big, that's the point right there, is that she had, I mean, how many,
this is the first time that she has ever called in or demanded.
I mean, I don't even know if she actually called him.
He said, and I wrote about this,
substack if you you should this is why you should be a subscriber because if you're not you didn't get any of
this you didn't know any of this uh if she called him who then then who did she call because he said well
she didn't call my office i don't know who she called he had already gotten a call from joe biden by the way
joe biden had a press conference just a little bit earlier and he was asked about this so this is
the second time that he said anything about this because he tweeted about this earlier this
and I noted it over at on on X.
I noted it over on X.
He had said something about it this morning and saying that he had already been in contact with the Florida governor and that they had everything that they needed.
And I thought that was very interesting because, I mean, he just sort of threw her under the bus right there.
But Kamala Harris, she's the vice president.
The vice president is not involved in this process.
he had already spoken to the White House.
He had already spoken to the President of the United States.
Kamala Harris goes out there and demands to have a phone call with DeSantis for some reason.
So she can say, she can pretend that she's like an adjacent commander in chief.
He's in the middle of prepping for the hurricane of a century.
And this, the hurricane of a century, this thing is already a catfied.
They say it's actually going to be bigger.
when it hits land and it's expected to make land at some point tomorrow than it is right now.
And he's also dealing with Helene Recovery.
She's stamping her feet and she's having a tantrum.
She spent all day.
Her people spent all yesterday evening running to the press complaining about this.
That her, over her failed campaign stunt.
I can't imagine an optic any worse than what I just saw with Kamala Harris.
Welcome to the program.
Dana Lash, with you, good to be with you.
And this is one of our, I mean, the hurricane is really, this is the top story.
But the crazy thing is that we're having to deal with Kamala Harris, the vice president of the United States and the Democrat presidential nominee throwing a fit because the Florida governor took Biden's call and not hers.
And this is on the heels of her disastrous 60 minutes interview.
There are more cuts coming out from that.
If you thought that what we played for you yesterday was a one-off, Katie bar the door, because
it's not. And then
Bill Whitaker's out there just murdering people.
The Democrat ticket. I mean, it's
unbelievable. We're going to get into all of that. So welcome,
Channel 347 Direct TV, also X and
Rumble, where the discussion happens.
So this
I mean,
this is all happened, it all happened
yesterday. And I first
noticed it. I started seeing these
headlines. I was in my office
and I'm doing prepping them. I'm looking and I'm seeing
these headlines. And I'm seeing that
Kamala Harris, her campaign has been going and complaining to the press because they're unhappy with,
that DeSantis ignored her phone call.
That's the way it was refuses to take call, refuses to answer.
Desantis ignores Harris.
Now, the way that they made it sound is that Ron DeSantis is just politicizing this.
And he is ignoring an offer of help from the vice president of the United.
States. But that's not the case at all, as you heard from the soundbite that we played. Furthermore,
it wasn't just as Harris started having her people go out and whined to the press about it,
then she also said something about it as well. She was, this is audio soundbite 6. She was asked
about this because she's been jutting around doing her media blitz, which that's a whole other
subject we have to discuss. But this is audio soundbite 6. And the media is more than happy to go
along with it. Listen.
Governor DeSantis, NBC is reporting Governor DeSantis is ignoring your calls on hurricanes, resources,
and help the situation here.
You know, moments of crisis, if nothing else, should really be the moment that anyone
who calls themselves a leader says they're going to put politics aside to support right now.
And playing political games and situations, these are the height of emergency situations.
It's just selfish and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took
to know what to do, which is to put the people first.
This is absolutely appalling that she's doing this, this optic.
Vice presidents have never had a role in this process.
And again, Biden has already talked with DeSantis.
Both of them confirmed it.
Biden tweeted, let me pull this up because this is just on my timeline.
Biden tweeted just a little earlier, quote,
tonight he spoke with me yesterday.
Tonight I spoke with Florida Governor DeSantis and Tampa Mayor
Castor for first-hune reports on Hurricane Healing Recovery
and Preparation for Milton.
My administration is ready to support both leaders and the people of Florida
with any further resources they need.
He went further with that, saying that he also spoke with National Weather Service,
et cetera. If we have this audio, because this was just a little bit ago,
he gave a press conference just a little bit,
and he was asked about
whether or not he'd been in touch with the Florida governor.
and he reiterated in his press conference just a little bit earlier that he had been in contact
with the Florida governor kind of repeated what he said yesterday. If we have that, let me know.
Kind of repeated what he had said yesterday evening about it. And this was the press conference
that he had. He was in his, you know, big-o situation room. And he, yeah, this is, I think, some of it.
Listen. Those who do it, do it to try to damage administration. That's not the cut. So that's not the cut.
So he had said he had spoken with Florida Governor DeSantis.
And then he was asked something separate about North Carolina, which is what he was responding to.
So we've got, you know, the president of the United States who's saying that he's, you know, in touch with the Florida governor.
The vice president has never had a role in this.
Even under, even with Trump, Pence didn't even have a role with this.
Nobody, Cheney didn't have a role with this.
Biden, when he was vice president, didn't have a role with this.
It's something that the president of the United States, I mean, I can't even believe we have to sit here and explain this to the.
these media people. He's in the middle of prepping for a damn cat five hurricane after going through
recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene, all right, big issue. And so she decides she needs some of
that shine. How can she not get cut out four weeks before the election and still maintain this
position of like authority or power still maintain this somehow? How can she do that? Well,
she's going to insert herself into this whole process. And that's exactly.
what she's done. And so now she comes out and says that, well, you know, he's ignoring me. And did you see, did you hear how just she sounded like she was having a tantrum on the tarmac when she was talking to the press? She sounded like she was having a tantrum. Like, how dare he ignore me? She didn't say anything about, you know, he's doing the best he can or that he's, you know, he's in the middle of, you know, Hurricane Prep. She could have taken, if she was a gracious person, she would have taken the question from that journalist, because that was a setup, by the way. She would have taken that question from that friendly journalist,
activist and would have said, you know, Florida is preparing for category five. We are here to
assist. She could have taken the position of power by by appearing generous and accommodating.
And instead she decided to do this, diminish herself and throw a tantrum on the tarmac while
insisting that she be her, she needs to be catered to because she needs to be able to issue something
within her campaign that she's a part of this whole process and that she's there to help.
this is i've never seen a woman who is more unfit to be a leader in my ever-loving life than comal
harris she has no political radar no political acumen she can't think quick on her feet
it's embarrassing as a woman that this is what women have to offer for the ticket to run for
the white house it's embarrassing i mean don't sit here and talk about how you're empowered woman
when you when you devolve into a might all fit on the on the tarmac of an airport
We got more on this, but this pisses me off.
I've got a lot of friends and family.
We have tons of listeners in Florida that are bracing for the worst right now.
And her first reaction, I kid you not, this is not hyperbole.
Her first reaction wasn't, how can she help those people?
It was to bash DeSantis for doing the job that she can't do.
Unreal.
Now, if you thought that was bad, this comes on the heels of her disastrous 60 Minutes interview.
Oh, the cuts keep coming.
And it wasn't just her.
It was also Tim Walz.
Wait until you hear Bill Whitaker, take them to the woodshed again.
Because these cuts just keep on coming.
So Kamala Harris, you know, I guess this is part of her amp up.
She's doing this crazy.
It looks desperate and it looks last minute and contrived and sloppy.
Because now she's doing Howard Stern.
All the zoomers just discovered that boomer, by the way,
because they realized he did a whole skit with Ted Danson and a blackface.
and now they're all freaking out about it, you know.
So, and then after she did that Daddy Issues podcast, now she's doing, she's doing Stern,
she's going on Colbert.
She was on the View today that she'd take for the View today.
So she's doing all these hits.
She's doing a media blitz.
And then a cat vibe is barreled into words Florida.
The optics of this, it is one of the worst run campaigns I've ever seen.
She is, I've, and I'm saying this compared to Hillary Clinton, too.
Can't even believe I ever would find anybody to say.
that about, but there we are. So we got a lot of stuff to hit today because we're going to get into that.
We've got all the latest with the hurricane as well. We got a lot of election. I mean, everything is going to be
kind of, it's a lot of hurricane and then also a tale of two responses with private and public, private and
government response. So we're going to get into all of that. Oh, and Kamala says she owns a Glock.
No one believes her. Yeah, we'll get to that too. They're always ready over at ready wise.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
time for Dana's Quick Five.
So, Geico is terminating insurance coverage of Tesla Cybertrucks saying that this type of
vehicle doesn't meet our underwriting guidelines.
I just don't ever, like, people use Geico.
Do they?
Do you use Geico?
Do you like Geico?
I was going to make fun of them.
Make fun of them.
I want lizard insurance for lizard people.
Isn't that for lizard people?
Are you in them lizard people?
Why don't they?
So they said, no, they just at the cyber truck, they said that they can't insure it because
they think it's risky. I mean, there are riskier cars out there, but go ahead and be, I'm...
Risky or expensive? Actually, I think it's expensive.
Look, I'm going to tell you all something. I've been, so you guys know I've been dealing with
laryngitis. I'm not sick, and I've been on a massive amount of steroids. It's probably why I seem
like I want to cut people more often than not this week. I'm still not, I'm coming down off
of them, but today is not the day to be messing, okay? Not the day. There could be a jet lag
cure on the horizon. A tiny
This sounds gross.
I don't know what this means. A tiny protein tail.
They said that it's a small section at the end of a protein.
It could just eat protein tails, right?
Powdered protein tails. There you go. It's the Kason,
Canace, 1, Delta. Oh, that makes total sense.
It's a pacemaker for our biological clock.
Blah, blah, blah. Just take a red eye
and sleep. There you go. Problem solved.
Anyway, they think that there could be a cure for it.
Don't expect human life expectancy to grow much more,
thankfully, says a researcher.
says he to press. He made it he's hitting the upper limit of life expectancy, according to a new
study. A lot of people aren't making it to age 100 anymore because the earth hates them. They're not
They said we have to recognize there's a limit and perhaps reassess assumptions about when people
should retire and about how much money they'll need to live out their lives, says Cynthia,
a University of Illinois Chicago researcher, actually his name's James Olshanky. He was the lead
author of the study. You know what? I just, I enjoy working. I can't stand sitting. That's like a
whole other topic. But, you know, just let, I don't know. I don't think that people need to be
living to 200 because, you know, at some point, you know, people are tired of you. Go away.
But, you know, also, there's now fears of a global oil shock if the Mideast crisis intensifies.
So glad that we didn't build any refineries and we didn't do anything to boost up our own
potential under the Biden Harris administration. There was some great foresight. The world absorbing
the prospect of escalating conflict in the Middle East, the fallout of sewing, increasing alarm.
Now, I mean, this is today and obvious, this headline that could be summed it up like that.
A doctor admits disguising himself as a nurse to try to kill his mother's partner with poison.
This is going to be a definite, interesting, like true crime doc.
A British doctor admitted that he tried to kill his mom's long-term partner who stood between him and an inheritance.
He was trying to inject the man, Kane, with a poison disguised as the COVID vaccine.
Prosecutors said Thomas Kwan pretended to be a community nurse.
delivery and booster shots and injected Patrick O'Hara with a toxic substance, likely pesticide.
It caused a rare and life-threatening flesh-eating disease. He initially denied attempted murder,
but changed his plea after prosecutors laid out their case and proved unequivocally that he was debatty.
We've got a lot more on the way, including the attempts to politicize a hurricane.
And North Carolina and Florida, the difference in response. And David Axelrod knows it. Stick with us.

Well, now, there's a hair-raising, eyebrow-raising, new story that just hit.
I mean, it is October.
Welcome back, Dana Lash with you.
It is October.
Would you guys like to hear about it?
It's about wife, Guy, second, dude?
That sounds great.
Second dude.
Second dude.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Doug Emhoff.
He's really leaning into this hole.
No, no, no.
I'm just the husband of the vice president.
She's the more powerful.
I think he's doing that as like a veneer to hide like his past indiscretions because,
ooh, here's a headline.
Quote, Doug Emhoff was a foul-mouthed asterisk, asterisk hole and misogynist who
hired a trophy secretary because she.
She was pretty and retaliated against women who didn't flirt back at LA law firm,
ex-staff, plural, claim.
Right?
Isn't that where we're at now?
Me too.
Attorneys who worked with Doug Emhoff at his former firm Venable,
say he yelled expletives, held a men-only cocktail hour in the office,
revoked work perks from women who didn't flirt with him,
and only took young attractive associates in a limousine to a ball.
I thought this was America.
The lawsuit also claimed sex discrimination by other partners that he ran while he was engaged to Harris.
And he hired an unqualified part-time model as a legal secretary because she was friendly with the powerful man in the office is the claim.
He looks like the guy who does that.
He's trying to have like his Taiki Watiti moment and he's just not happening.
He looks like the guy who would do something like that, doesn't he?
Can I just say, sidebar, this is why I don't understand like sugar babies.
the looks got to play into it.
You know, money can't make that visage more attractive.
I just could not.
There's no way on God's green earth.
There's just no way.
What woman, you're going to hire a model to be a legal secretary because she's pretty and she flirts with the ugly, powerful men in the office?
I mean, they're still ugly, right?
Looks is power.
They're still ugly.
I look at him and I'm like, that's not a, ew.
Just, right?
I don't know.
Maybe I'm the only, I don't know.
I just, no, money cannot buy everything.
So he's, now he acts like he's this feminist ally and a wife guy.
Have you noticed that all the dudes who say that they're feminists are typically like abusive jackwagons?
Have you noticed this that all comes out?
Like they all get milkshake duck by like past posts.
Do you guys know that term?
I think I explained it one of my books.
It was a joke that somebody made, oh, here's a little duck that loves drinking milkshakes five seconds later.
We regret to inform you that the duck is racist.
So it's a milkshake duck.
Like you find something in their past.
that you thought they were nice
and you thought they were cute.
It's like I'm waiting for Moodang to get milkshake ducked.
The little pygmy hippo in Thailand,
which I watch all the time
and that's all any of the algorithms show me
is mu-dang stuff.
It's okay.
But he looks like the guy who's,
doesn't he?
He has that smarmy look.
Okay.
Another sidebar.
Women, you know when you look at a chick
if she's crazy.
Women have a radar.
Dudes, do you have a radar
that is equal to that of a woman looking at a chick
and saying that woman's crazy warning?
Dudes, can you do the same thing by looking at another dude and be like,
hmm, he's nuts, warning.
Is that, do you have that superpower, Kane?
Well, yeah, you can see it in women.
I don't know how women see it in men.
But in dudes, can you look at another dude and be like, like, Doug Emhoff and be like,
yeah, he looks like a guy.
Yeah, can you see it in another guy?
Steve, can you see it in another guy?
I mean, men are better gaslighters, I think, so probably not.
They kind of hide it.
No, you can kind of tell.
Depends.
There's posturing, there's eye contact, there's breathing, all of that stuff.
body language. It's subtle, but you can tell.
Don't you think that in his interviews, Doug Emhoff tries to act like he's, again, he's like,
well, I'm a wife guy. I'm just a wife guy. Right? I mean, this is a guy who, he cheated on
his first wife, impregnated his nanny. And now we've got these accusations. And it just,
and then he slapped that girl in the line at the valet at Cannes Film Festival, which is like the
busiest thing I've ever heard. So I don't know. I mean, all of the false accusations that had
no evidence against Kavanaugh were enough to almost like derail his Supreme Court advances.
And Kamala Harris led that. So what about this? I just feel as, yes, I do completely believe in
the, the ideology of James Brown in the big payback. Yes, I absolutely do. You are a thousand percent
correct. So I'm just saying, you know, it just seems like, you know, what's good for the goose is good
for the gander here, Kamala, just saying.
But I don't know if, I mean, she's dealing with some bad stuff right now.
Can we talk about this 60 Minutes interview?
Hmm.
It's bad.
It's so bad.
They asked her if she owned a gun.
And it was weird.
They asked her if she owned a gun.
And, well, this is what she says.
This is audio sound bite seven.
Listen to this.
A hard left turn here, but you recently surprised people when you said that you are a gun owner.
And then if someone came into your house...
That was not the first time I've talked about it.
That's not the first time I've talked about it.
So what kind of gun do you own and when and why did you get it?
I have a Glock and I've had it for quite some time.
And I mean, look, Bill, my background is in law enforcement.
Which means nothing.
And so there you go.
Have you ever fired it?
Yes.
Of course I have.
At a shooting range.
So he does.
I was watching this interview.
Bill Whitaker's interview style is interesting.
He's very, he's, I can't, I'm giving him credit.
This is what it looks like when you do your job.
He asks the question and then he just lets it sits and he doesn't, he doesn't do anything
else.
He lets it sit.
And then the silence makes her nervous and she freaks out and she's got to fill the time
with words.
That's a great, like, it's actual, an actual technique.
And he does it very well.
And he looks down at his notes and then looks back up and smiles.
He disengages eye contact to leave her hanging for a moment.
It's all, it's like complete, it's just, it is the art of bodily persuasion.
And then he looks up at her and she's already freaking out because he disengaged to look at his notes.
And then he just purses his lips and kind of smiles at her.
Very disingenuous.
It's a process smile.
It's not like a real smile of, you know, empathetic or emphetic feeling.
It's just, it's very.
It is a very interesting interview.
And they're totally going to go after this guy.
But because I don't think he's on the right.
I just, and I don't know if I think he dislikes her.
I think he's just done with it.
Let's, let's, you know, ask some questions.
But she's like, well, you know, I was in law enforcement.
Like what you were storming houses?
The hell does that mean?
No one believes that Kamala Harris was out there.
Yes, I was in law enforcement.
So of course I have a gun.
I was out there storming houses and arresting baddies.
That's what I was doing.
No one believes that she.
I mean, in that event, I'd be like, well, it'd be a sick, wouldn't it?
Anyway, but she's like, I have a Glock.
If Bill Whitaker would have said, what, Jen?
What generation?
She would have crumpled in on herself and fallen off the chair.
Really? What, Jen?
A Glock?
Mm-hmm.
What?
So what generation, though?
And just check your notes and look up.
And then when he goes, have you fired it?
And then he just looked at her and would not help her out.
And she was incredulous.
And then she's like, yeah, I fired it.
Arranged.
had to fill the space. She would have kept going. I think if I think she would have kept going if he
wouldn't have asked her another question. So awkward. No one believes that she's got a gun. I think that she
came up with that because she partners with the gun control group that's actually suing Glock.
And I think that that was like the first thing that popped into her head and that's why she said it.
Yes, I have a Glock. No, you don't. No one believes that you have a Glock. Literally nobody.
Just nobody. And then and then, um,
Man, these are so bad.
These are, I don't even know what one I want to go to next.
It's so bad.
Well, first, okay, let's, Tim Walz didn't do any better.
He didn't really do any better.
Audio sound bite 18.
I mean, this Bill Whitaker just took both of these stooges to the woodshed.
This is so bad.
In your debate with J.D. Vance, you said, I'm a knucklehead at times.
And I think you were referring to the time.
that you said that you were in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square unrest when you were not.
Is that kind of misrepresentation, isn't that more than just being a knucklehead?
I think folks know who I am, and I think they know the difference between someone expressing emotion,
telling your story, getting a date wrong rather than a pathological liar like Donald Trump.
But I think it comes down to the question of whether,
whether you can be trusted to tell the truth.
Yeah, well, I can't.
I think I can.
I will own up to being a knucklehead at times,
but the folks closest to me know that I keep my word.
But nobody else does because you don't.
I mean, he was not,
Whitaker was not letting him go one bit,
was not letting him go.
Gosh, it was really satisfying to watch.
I think I'm just going to keep playing these
for the rest until election day.
these clips.
It was bad.
It was bad.
And
he
just was so bad.
It was so bad.
And they kept,
so they released,
he sat down separately,
Walson Harris.
The cuts keep coming.
And in the meantime,
audio sound by 12,
she can't explain her way
out of anything.
Whitaker goes,
well,
groceries are more expensive
and everyone blames you.
What do you say?
Groceries.
are 25% higher, and people are blaming you and Joe Biden for that. Are they wrong?
We now have historic low unemployment in America, among all groups of people. We now have an economy
that is thriving by all macroeconomic measures, and to your point, prices are still too high.
And I know that, and we need to deal with it, which is why part of my plan, you mentioned
groceries. Part of my plan is what we must do to bring down the price of groceries.
Hmm. Yeah. Well, how are you going to bring down the price of groceries? I mean, why can't you
do it now? Because you're there. It's almost like, I mean, she sits here and she says, well, we're going
to do this and we're going to do that. Why aren't you doing it now? You're the vice president
of the United States. The hyphen counts. You're there now. Why don't you? Hmm. It's, it was bad.
She's going off of the tantrum about the hurricane.
That's what she used to follow up her 60 minutes interview and the cuts are still coming.
And then the 60 minutes interview followed that Daddy Issues podcast.
That was bad.
And then now she's apparently going on with Stern.
Has her stuff from the view even hit yet?
Because she taped the view.
Has that even hit yet?
Did it hit?
I literally never watched those cronies.
I just don't.
Oh, there it is.
Thank you.
Thank you, Steve.
I didn't watch it because Steve, we can kind of.
on Steve doing it. Steve getting it.
So this, oh boy,
audio sound by 27. You heard that answer
she just gave on groceries and all
that. Remember who's in the White House, right?
Remember who's in Biden Harris?
Okay, now I played
Audio Sondi 27. This is so bad.
Well, if anything,
would you have done something differently
than President Biden
during the past four years?
There is not a thing that comes to mind
in terms of, and I've been a part of
of most of the decisions that have had impact.
Hmm.
Hmm.
So nothing.
Oh, well, that's comforting.
So forward the same?
I wouldn't change anything.
Forward.
That's what I would have asked.
So forward then.
Nothing comes to mind.
Yeah, nothing comes to mind.
I don't know.
Don't know what I do different.
Mirk,
Mark, Marklehead.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
Guns don't protect our free speech.
Our free speech is protected by the consent of the governed laid out through the Constitution.
It's not based on the threat of violence.
It's based on elections.
Organizing referendums and judicial system.
Our social contract offers many, many avenues to remedy these issues and allows sides to be heard and adjudicated.
Guns, from what I can tell, seem to mostly protect the speech of the people holding the gun.
It's a tool of the condition.
He doesn't understand the difference between an enumerated right and a social contract.
Really?
a social compact and enumerated right are two entirely different things.
I mean, I get that some people hear these phrases and these words and they think that they can use them interchangeably and that somehow makes them sound somewhat educated, but that's not what either of those, they're not interchangeable.
And furthermore, if you only view firearms through the perspective of being scared of them because you have zero familiarity, then you are going to have a bias against them and you're only going to see them in one way.
And to eliminate every other perspective because you think that your fear and your inexperience is supreme, well, that's an American.
And it's also dumb.
And it's just not even intellectually honest.
And it's incredibly illiberal.
Why would you do that?
So I think he's like trying to sound smart here with his commentary on that, but it's just not flying.
I just, it's not flying at all.
The left is they're apoplectic right now.
I saw this headline where it said Democrats are freaking out because Kamala is.
Joy is quietly turning to panic. Her
Live laugh love campaign has had a bit
of a stumble. It's got
a bit of a, it has a bit of
a trip, King. It's not doing
so well. I know.
Yeah, it's not doing very well.
And there, I mean, I keep
seeing all these people trying to
defend her. Like, oh, well, you know, how dare you, like,
they're mad at me because I'm asking,
I was like, if they would have asked her what generation
of Glock she had, she would have not been able to answer.
And they're like, well, have you
have you prosecuted criminals, Dana? Okay, Boomer. What does that have to do with knowing what kind of gun you have?
You don't have someone's like, you know, you don't have to be an enthusiast, relax. You don't have to be an enthusiast to understand what you own. I mean, just like you don't have to be an enthusiast of automobiles to understand what car it is that you drive.
You don't have to be an enthusiast of kitchen appliances to understand what brand your dishwasher is or your stove. You just have to be aware and educated.
You know, it's not as simple as going in.
I'll just have the Glock.
That's not like vanilla ice cream, you know.
I mean, there are different models.
There's different types.
There's, you know, for a reason.
Yeah.
I'll just want, I just want, I'll have the Glock, please.
Uh, what I got, the black Glock.
I will have that.
Thank you with some of the bullets.
Merci.
That's, that's Kamala Harris.
I mean, I don't know.
I feel like I want to make fun of that some more, and I'm going to.
But the left needs to stop.
Now, we've got coming up, we've got some election stuff.
Polls are, I want to, again, they're not, it's not like as ironclad of scripture.
So polls are just suggestions and some guidelines and some ideas, speculative, right?
We're going to get into some of that.
We got culture.
We got all kinds of stuff.
Stick with us.

Top of the second hour.
Dana Lash here with you.
You can listen to Coast Channel 347 DirecTV as well as Rumble where the discussion happens.
X all kinds of good stuff.
And this lot of, a lot of good things.
A lot of very interesting things to discuss.
So I'm just wondering where.
the president actually had a press conference today.
We've been dealing with the response to, well, response to Hurricane Helene and then the preparation
for Hurricane Milton.
And Florida is getting ready to just hit hard.
So I hope everyone's staying safe.
We're praying for everybody there.
We've got a lot of friends and family there.
A lot of listeners there.
Please don't forget your pets.
And if they tell you to evac, maybe consider evaking.
I know everybody, I know, you Floridians are hardcore.
Like, I know, I know y'all.
You all make gator jerky.
any of a mustn't. I'm just saying, you know, maybe with the storm surges being anticipated at 20 feet,
just stay safe. So there was a bit of a hubbub last night because DeSantis had spoken to President
Biden. And I noticed that this came after Biden reportedly had spoken to DeSantis. And they both
confirmed that they had the conversation. Harris had her people go to all of these press outlets
and say that DeSantis ignored my call. He refused my call. Well, DeSantis was like she never called.
Or, I mean, she called somebody's office, sure wasn't mine. And he had already talked to Biden.
Biden tweeted out, yeah, I had a great call with DeSantis. You know, he assured, you know,
they're getting everything they need. We're here to help, et cetera. And then he said this just a little bit ago.
Listen, this is why you somebody 31.
The governor of Florida has been cooperative. He said he's got.
gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday and I said, whatever, I said, no,
you're doing a great job. It's all being done well. We thank you for it. And I literally
gave my personal phone number to call. So I don't know, there was a rough start in some
places, but every governor, every governor from Florida to North Carolina has been fully cooperative
and supportive and acknowledged what this team is doing. And they're doing an incredible job.
you know what it sounded like to me just then because Harris is spent oh I mean I'm just going
through I'm actually right now scrolling through all of my um all of all of all of the headlines
that I've saved she had her people go to at least like 16 or 17 different outlets okay well
maybe that's a double count here this is a right but at least 15 whining that he
that DeSantis ignored, refused, blew off, etc.
Any of this.
All of her outreach.
And I'm trying to figure out where the vice president has ever historically figured into standard operating procedure and an emergency response.
I mean, it's rhetorical.
The answer.
It's never.
But she absolutely tried to make this a political.
stunt when it wasn't needed. If she was a smart candidate, she would have done it, first off.
She's not smart, so she did it. If she was somewhat smart, she would have found a way to salvage it.
So when she was asked on the tarmac, when she was asked on the tarmac, you know, about DeSantis,
and did he ignore your call, she could have said, well, he's, look, Governor DeSantis is preparing
for a major Category 5 hurricane right on the heel.
of Hurricane Helene.
He's got a lot on his plate.
He's doing everything he came to steal his state.
And we in the Biden-Harris administration are here to make sure that, you know, that Floridians get everything that they need.
That would have been the smart answer for her to do because she would have seemed generous.
She would have seemed not that she was trying to politicize it.
I mean, that's like their basic answer, right?
How hard is it to just do that?
Right?
Super simple.
Not what she did, though.
Audio sound bite six.
She did this instead.
President, Susantis is ignoring your calls on hurricanes.
resources and help fluctuation here.
The moments of crisis, if nothing else, should really be the moment that anyone who calls
themselves a leader says they're going to put politics aside.
I put the people first.
People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games with this moment
in these crisis situations.
These are the height of emergency situations.
It's just utterly irishompson.
It's about political gamesmanship instead of doing this.
doing the job that you took an oath to do?
Why that
response? She was like
petty and mean.
Completely unnecessary.
She's not the
president of the United States.
There was no reason for her to
be involved in any of it. She
decided to insert herself. And then of course
that was one of the friendlies in the press that
they had that came forward and all
and again, all she had to do was say,
you know, Governor DeSantis
is just, you know,
he's he's doing everything that she that he can in order to prepare his state for this category five
it's going to make a landfall near Tampa on Wednesday and she's like we know that there's storm you know
he's doing everything he can he's got we here in the Biden Harris administration are are and she could
have inserted herself in that way we here in the Biden and we in the administration are here to
make sure Floridians get everything that they need et cetera et cetera that's all that's what they
could have done right and instead she did that that is really bad political stunting it's bad acumen
to not be able to read the room.
I made mention on this.
I was on Fox Business last night,
and I talked about this.
And I think I,
let me pull this up,
because I also have this,
I noted this piece,
I think it was in your prep.
The comment that David Axelrod
had made.
And I thought it was incredibly
in, I can't believe I'm saying it,
it was insightful.
I don't always say that
about some of the
pundits on the left,
but it was somewhat.
insightful because he was discussing how Democrats can can mess this stuff up and that's you have to
realize this is how Democrats look at emergencies they look at emergencies in this regard they look at
it like well uh you know how can we exploit this for i mean it's i mean i'm not saying that that was
who was that said that not eric colder somebody it was one of obama's folks that said that
and so he had made the point that, you know, the folks that are in North Carolina,
he's talking about Hurricane Helene Recovery.
He's like the folks that are in that area of recovery for Hurricane Helene, you know,
that are going to vote for Democrats.
They're going to continue voting for Democrats.
And there's, you know, not going to be that much that anybody can, that anybody can do.
But he said, you know, there are going to be those people.
I'm going to pull this up.
there are all going to be those people that are, you know, voting for Trump and this is going to steal that.
He said that upscale North Carolina Harris voters will find a way to vote after the storm.
And he's already been blasted because he said that, you know, these, he's already getting a lot of heat for this because he was saying that that it's could hurt voter turnout.
And he also added that it's not going to be easy to wrangle Trump voters following Hurricane.
Helene. Now, I know that everybody be outraged about, you know what, he's being very clinical here.
And North Carolina is, it's a swing state. It's a, it's a battleground state. It's a state that both
Democrats and Republicans really need to win. And this is one of the reasons why the Democrat
governor there, his hurricane response is absent and was a mess and why it's so important. And I also
think, too, it's one of the reasons you're not seen a lot of press on the ground in North
Carolina, and we're going to talk about that in a moment. North Carolina, it, you, Trump is barely in the
lead in North Carolina. It's very close. They just, they've, they've been leaning Republican.
They elected a Democrat governor, but they lean kind of Republican. You have less than a month away.
States voter registration deadline is October 11th. And Axelrods, you know, these killer storms,
there's a lot of displacement. And he was talking about these voters. He said, you know, liberal voters are
going to figure out a way to vote. I'm not sure about, you know, the others. And he said, you know,
it's going to be hard to wrangle Trump voters.
So he's talking about access to vote, but he's also discussing, and he didn't dive into it,
and this is what Democrats and I think some Republicans are missing, you have, in real life,
playing out before you a tale of two ideologies.
Look at North Carolina.
You have the Democrats who insist that the government is the only way to help, that the government
can help you, the government will be able to save you.
The government is going to be there if there is a storm, if there is an emergency,
whatever it is, the government is going to be there to assist you.
That's what we hear time and time again.
And in Florida, you have the government is the federal government was impeding disaster response.
FEMA was locking up landfills to the point where DeSantis literally threatened every agency.
He went down there to one of the counties where they did this and literally ripped open the fences
so that people could continue to remove debris.
Tons of debris have already been removed.
And this is just from Helene, not even getting into Milton yet.
And he has been, he came out with a thing yesterday.
He got hit by the Orlando Sentinel yesterday because he came out with another affirmation,
even though you can't, under the color of federal law, ban carry or possession, you know,
a purchase, et cetera, a firearms in a disaster.
There were, there was, they said it was mistaken, but I think it was like Okie Chobie
where they tried that, the sheriff tried that.
And DeSantis's administration was told, and they immediately intervened.
And even though it's a right, they're, they're, they're,
they're doubly reaffirming it and letting everyone know in a time when people need to be their own first responders.
You're not going to deny someone their Second Amendment right of self-defense.
So they did that again.
They've been getting things rerouted, getting things ready ahead of this category five storm.
And they've been working with a lot of, you know, you have a lot of private partnerships.
And that's one of the things that Florida is really, really big on.
They've developed in their state.
They actually have a portal to where the state government works with private religious and non-religious alike,
private organizations and they find a need and they fill a need and it's at less of a burden on the
taxpayer and it's these people that are volunteering and going out there and helping their fellow man.
It's pretty unusual to see it happening to see that.
And that was something that's been implemented in the past couple of years in the state of Florida.
And it was spearheaded by the First Lady.
So, the First Lady of Florida.
And so you have this private partnership with these private organizations and private,
you know, regular average everyday citizens responding.
When you compare that to what you see in North Carolina, and then when you see in North Carolina,
it's not the government that's getting in there to help, it's private entities.
Like I said, you were seeing a tale of two ideologies play out in real time, and that's what Axelrod is kind of intimating.
He's sitting here saying, look, they're going to see this.
And people are seeing the disastrous response, FEMA's response here in North Carolina and elsewhere.
It's pretty bad.
You know, you're going to see this play out.
And people are going to vote that.
I mean, if you think that there aren't any independence of North Carolina whose minds have been irrevocably changed going to
November because of the way FEMA's responded, you're mistaken. And that's why
Democrats are trying so hard to, I think, get ahead and they were trying to politicize this
a little bit too. We're going to talk about that. We're also going to talk about the
Governor Roy Cooper. He is claiming that it's misinformation to say what people are saying about
the state, but it's not misinformation. I mean, this information is coming from the videos and the
mouths of the people who live there and who are enduring it. And have you noticed there's not
really a lot of media on the ground in North Carolina. Not the way that they sent people to Katrina
or Ian or Adelaia or anywhere else. Have you noticed that? There's not a lot of media on the ground.
Have you seen anybody who's CNN and waiters standing out there and waste deep water? I wonder why.
Is it because they don't want to tell you the story of what happens when you're not ready?
What happens when the federal system fails? Because it wasted your taxpayer dollars?
We're going to discuss that because there's a reason why they're not doing it. If your approach to
everyday aches and pains is to mask them, you know, feel better for a few hours or only have the pain
return and then repeat the cycle all over again. It's time to try Relief Factor. And the good news is that
Relief Factor makes that easy. Their three-week quick start is just 1995, less than a dollar a day.
Instead of masking pain, Relief Factor helps eliminate it. It's a unique formula of ingredients that
helps support your body's response to inflammation. And Relief Factor was developed by doctors.

Chris, my husband raves about Relief Factor.
So whether you're a cyclist, a hiker,
you know, an athlete from your college days or high school,
maybe you're just active now.
Relief Factor supports inflammation, reduction, and joint health.
Try it today.

That's 1-800, the number four, relief.
See in how just a few weeks or even days,
relief factor can reduce your pain.
And then you feel better, and then life is just better.
So don't mask pain.
Fight it naturally with Relief Factor.
And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
So the Tampa International Airport is suspended operations and is closed ahead of Hurricane Milton.
They plan to resume services as soon as it's safe to do so later this week.
But passengers are told to check airlines regarding flight schedules.
I mean, be in charge of your own flight stuff because there's going to be cancellations galore and all kinds of stuff.
So just be prepared because that's exactly, I mean,
I mean, category five, no one wants to be up in the air on that.
I was talking to a friend of mine.
In fact, she used to work on the program.
Her parents just came in from Italy,
and they had to rush home, get their animals and skedaddle.
But be safe out there.
North Korea is, well, they're dealing with a major food crisis.
And as a result, they're facing a new wave of threats amid said food crisis.
There are thefts, which you don't really hear a lot about crime coming out of North Korea,
and I think for a reason, because they probably, well, they kill you.
if you get the wrong haircut.
I mean, didn't the dude feed his, like, uncle to dogs or something like that?
The short stack down there?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, so they said that the looting is widespread.
They have burglars terrorizing the neighborhood,
and that they're facing a major hunger strike.
Let's see.
A plane train causes pandemonium at an Atlanta airport.
The plane train.
A computer problem with the train that shuttles passengers between concourses at Atlanta.
they well it caused a lot of confusion yesterday people were trying to get to their gates at the world's busiest airport but the plane train did return to normal schedule after experiencing a computer issue that is not an airport you want to have an issue because it's crazy
they said that there were masses of people at a standstill in the underground concourses which is my absolute nightmare so they were getting that all figured out so good heavens let's see here there's oh the supreme court they've started their
They're back in session, the Supreme Court, and they're hearing ghost gun cases.
They're hearing all about that today.
Those were some of the first oral arguments before the Supreme Court today.
And so we're going to follow along with that as well and bring you any updates to it.
And let's see. Keith Oberman wants Elon Musk deported.
What else do we got?
Oh, we also have Michigan Supreme Court says schools can keep curricula a secret from parents,
which I don't think that that should be allowed.
that's your tax dollars.
If my dollars are in there, you bet I'm going to be like waist deep up in your business.
That's how that all works.
But they said there was a parent seeking school documents and Michigan parents.
They can't request some of the curricula under Public Records Act because the court chose
to not to hear an appeal from the lower court.
So they're fighting over, they're fighting over that.
And Sweden is the latest nation across the Atlantic done with open immigration, like allowing
people to come in totally unvetted.
It's a dramatic U-turn.
We've got a lot more on the way.

Lots of good stuff that comes out on the reg over there.
And it's just me, so not going to be selling your information.
So we've been following the latest with Hurricane Milton, historic.
historically bad hurricane.
I'm looking at the tracking at it as it's barreling towards Florida,
potentially catastrophic, Category 5.
And Tampa Bay is bracing for the hit.
They're looking at storm surges as high as 15 feet of her 20.
A lot of flooding inland people are fleeing.
It's going to be hitting about Thursday morning.
It's going to be right off the coast Wednesday evening.
Thursday morning it's going to hit and then it's going to traverse over Florida.
and then be on the other side around Thursday evening at that point. So it's going to be going
right in through Tampa, passing under Orlando. And it's right off the coast, the Yucatan Peninsula
right now. And just wild, wild. So everybody stay safe. Everybody stay safe out there. And this,
you know, right on the heels of Hurricane Helene. It is hurricane season. This is not
abnormal for something like this to happen. It's just unfortunate. I mean, that's the, you know,
it's you got it's the nature of things and nature can be deadly as we see one of the questions that
I had had and I was actually talking with a friend of mine about this it was like a couple of days ago
and I was just kind of looking over our messages I remember and you guys remember this too
it doesn't matter what if it was hurricane Katrina if it was a daily or if it's in or whatever
it was isn't there always
there aren't there always just tons of media on the ground and they're in waste deep waters, especially
near an election season? I mean, think about it. Think about how the media did Katrina and Ian and
everything else, right? Think about the way they just try to politicize this with Milton.
North Carolina, now, I'm looking at this the way that the left does because I have a suspicion.
This is what I was talking about with my friend. North Carolina is a battleground.
state. It is. It's a battleground state. North Carolina is, I mean, incredibly important to, I guess,
Democrats, obviously Democrats and Republicans, they both got to deliver. Both these parties have to
deliver. And I'm looking at the absence of coverage, like on the ground in North Carolina. Have you
seen, and Kane, maybe I've missed it, but have we, like, somehow missed, like, all the reporters
standing waist deep in the water?
North Carolina and talking about, you know, recovery or because they keep saying that there's all this
fake news coming out of North Carolina, but it's from the Citizen's own videos. Where are the
reporters there? It's a great question because I haven't seen anything from the mainstream media.
I mean, they're always there, especially if it's, if they could get there and try to say,
oh, look at the right that's making up these, these pieces or making up these, you know, all of this
stuff about Hurricane, you know, Helene and the recovery efforts and may all this fake news. Aren't they
so mean,
so mean, I would just think that,
you know, I don't know,
I'm, I'm kind of amazed
that there's like an absence of this.
And I was, this is what I was talking with my friend about.
I mean, you know that
there would be
me, if there's fake news, media
would be on the ground showing it, right?
If the devastation wasn't as bad,
they'd be on the ground showing it.
If they, like all of this stuff,
because they were saying that,
that it was false to allege that FEMA was stopping
anyone from delivering anything. They tried to say that the videos that people who have been displaced
that they took with their own phones are somehow fake news or disinformation. They were arguing that,
you know, being broke and not having enough money to help North Carolina, that's a lie,
even though that was true. I mean, they keep saying that there's, these are all, it's all
conspiracy theory. Okay, well, where are they at with their news crews on the ground?
My friend had written, well, it's an election year, and our reporting might show that stranded locals
might be telling the truth and now spreading misinformation.
Democracy itself is at stake, can't take the risk.
Sorry about your house, though.
For real, though.
If they wanted to show that all the misinformation,
that everything that was coming out of North Carolina was misinformation,
wouldn't they do it?
Wouldn't they show it?
And then you've got the Democrat governor, Roy Cooper,
who's bending into this.
Audio soundbite 16.
Listen.
And you're also making some people wary of applying for aid and relief
because you have these crazy stories about FEMA coming in and taking people's land and stopping donations from coming in.
And it's very frustrating when you're on the ground working hard every day.
In fact, I'm going to leave here, go to the Emergency Operations Center, and head back out west again.
But I'll tell you what, the people of Western North Carolina are resilient and determined and courageous,
and we're going to be with them every step of the way.
Do you see how he did that, though?
Well, you know, it's scaring people from getting help.
I don't think anybody's been dissuaded from getting help
by talking about what accurately is happening there.
I mean, they keep saying that the firsthand accounts
of what people are experiencing in North Carolina
are somehow disinformation, then prove it.
If they wanted to do it, they would be out there
with all their camera crews and everything,
and they would do it immediately.
Now, I do think that there's exaggeration and there's probably some falsehoods for sure.
But that's like the exception, not the rule.
I mean, there is a, I do agree that there is a reason why you have not seen all the
alphabet news agencies out there like they would be with Katrina or anything else.
This is a battleground state.
Trump is like, what, point six ahead.
They have to be very careful with this because if you think about it, this could determine
the election.
North Carolina.
I know everyone's talking about Pennsylvania,
but look what's happening in North Carolina.
Sure they got a Democrat governor,
but they've been leaning red.
And then now look at what's happened
with a hurricane response.
And then now they're being told
that the things that they're sharing,
that they've seen themselves
and filmed with their own phones
and have sent and uploaded to the internet,
that that's like disinformation.
You're calling these people liars
as they're suffering.
That's bad.
This is one of those things
where you could actually see it
affect the election
to that degree.
And so there's a reason why they're not, I think, showcasing it that way.
They're not down there on the ground.
Now, audio sound by 14, one of the members of the Biden administration is criticizing the people, it's FEMA administrator,
criticizing the people criticizing FEMA.
This is too rich.
Listen.
But I want to make sure that this has to stop because if it continues, we will see more and more
people not trusting their federal government to be able to give them what they need. And so I need
people to register for assistance so I can get them the financial resources they need to support their
recovery. Hmm. Well, it's leading to people criticizing the people who are criticizing FEMA's bad
response isn't the way to go. That doesn't make any sense. You should be able to hold these
agencies accountable. Absolutely. A few other things because, you know, obviously we're following this.
I want to make sure that we're touching on everything else as well, although mainly it's all election
and hurricane today, understandably so. This, I wanted to pull this up. This was an exclusive
piece over at Red State from Jennifer Van Laugh, who's been on the show before.
40 U.S. soldiers were stranded in Israel on October 7th, which we just had the observance of
yesterday one year. Hamas knew their names, ranks, and locations.
What? 40. 40. They were in Israel as an advanced team for what was a routine training exercise. And that was last year, October 7th. They suddenly found themselves obviously in the middle of a terror attack. And they had to beg reluctant Pentagon officials, Van Laugh reports, to send an Air Force plane to extract them. Approximately a quarter of the soldiers were just miles from Gaza in off base housing near the IDFs.
base there when the attack began. A group of local Israelis, IDF reservists, police officers,
and ordinary citizens got them to the base, which Hamas terrorists were quickly heading towards.
And then the team leader, because he saw his men were in mortal danger, requested permission
to open the arms locker so they could retrieve their arms, but it was denied at Centcom level.
CENTCOM denied them. Ask again why recruitment is down. You have people who are pushing pencils
across the ocean saying no, you can't defend yourself from a terrorist attack.
Oh, and if you try, we'll court-martial you and we'll put you in jail for the rest of your life and your life's over.
Ask me again, why? Ask anybody why recruitment's down.
CINCOM denied it. According to apparently one whistleblower and in a military intelligence analyst.
The rest of the soldiers had just arrived in Tel Aviv where rockets were hitting their hotels.
They said that there was a lot of stuff going on, all kinds of indirect fire for a good,
eight hours, the soldiers who were there at that IDF base were in mortal danger and the military
and civilian leadership at the Pentagon were perfectly willing to not even worry about it, end quote.
Hamas had fired a barrage of rockets at the airport shortly after they had won Air Force
C-17 briefly touched down to exfiltrate the soldiers and Hamas fired about 150 rockets at it.
They would have been taken hostage by Hamas if it had not been for Israeli civilians and reservists.
they would have been they were unarmed our soldiers unarmed sent com denied them access to weapons
and they would have been taken they would have been taken a hostage this would have been worse than bengazi
and uh i i can't even imagine can you what would have happened humas would have gotten
american soldiers can you imagine the PR stunt they would have pulled with that this would have been
like dragging people through what feluzia oh my gosh they said that it was a her
A barrowing and disturbing story, they're not naming all of the sources because they fear retaliation, which you absolutely do have to worry about that.
Especially within the military ranks.
I mean, there's a reason why they've been going after a lot of the special forces guys.
They said that the U.S. Army advance team was in Israel to prepare for the two-week live-fire joint training exercise named Operation Iron Bison,
and it was scheduled to kick off third week in October at the IDF's Urban Warfare Training Center.
It was southwest of Bersheva, 400 soldiers.
soldiers, infantry armor, and aviation. They were deployed to Kuwait in support of Operation
Spartan Shield. They were slated to participate. And they said a few weeks before October 7,
they had a group of about 10 U.S. Army lodged statisticians that arrived. They were going to get
work. They were staying off base in Bersheva. They said that they had, you know, the advanced
team. And they was just training. Like they weren't there even, you know, they weren't hiding.
They were, they were just there for their training. And they said the soldiers had their
service weapons with them in Israel, but they had to be secure in an arms locker on base.
until the time of exercise used for the exercise and put back.
And when everything went sideways,
they had requested of sentcom.
And it was sentcom level said more than two sources.
Centcom level said no.
Do you think that they look back on it now?
We're like, wow, October 7th.
These soldiers would have been taken if it hadn't been for these reservists and citizens.
Unbelievable.
All of this stuff, it's a year later and we're just not like,
learning this. Isn't that I'm insane?
It's his life
mission to make bad decisions.
It's time for Florida man.
All right.
So first up
I'm still trying to get over the guy who's taking
shelter from the last hurricane on a rooftop.
That seems like a bad thing.
This
let's see.
Ooh.
No, no, don't want that one either.
We're going to start with this guy who was arrested for stealing
his daughter's truck.
Who is this?
He looks like a drunk Santa's brother.
I don't know.
Marion County Man's facing felony charge.
He stole his own kid's truck.
Felony theft.
Apparently it was a, the, I don't know.
It was a motel parking lot and I don't know.
This guy's 44.
That's the biggest thing.
Okay.
I need, I need, Kane.
I don't care about anything else in the story.
How in the hell is this guy 44 years old?
It's, uh, man, that's a hard.
There is no way this guy is 44.
Harsh 44.
Let me, for those of you not watching the simulcast, I mean, he looks like legit, like a drunk Santa.
He does.
I, oh man, anyway, I am completely distracted.
Now I apologize.
I cannot believe this guy's 44 years old.
What in the world?
So this guy, 44-year-old John Hamilton, he told the deputy that he had, he admitted he took the truck and refused to bring it back.
That's pretty much the glory of the story here.
They, court date hasn't been scheduled.
The biggest thing was I needed to show you that mugshot because I cannot even believe that this guy is 44 years old.
Also, this, a few others.
A woman freaks out because her Domino's pizza was cold and uncut.
Yeah.
But I understand that you might be upset if you get a pizza delivery and it's cold and uncut.
And then she decided that she was.
going to get arrested as a response.
So smoking guns is
20-year-old
Ricky.
Just R-I-C-K-Y or R-C-K-I
is fine. I don't need R-I-C-Q-U-I.
She drove from her residence to the restaurant
where she started fighting with the employees.
She flung the pizza and busted up their phone.
Police arrived. She was arrested for
a misdemeanor criminal mischief. She spent
the night in jail. And then she has to stay
away from the Domino's Pizza, which is only 1.4
miles away from her house. I mean, I'm sure there were probably better ways to resolve that issue.
But, you know, if you wanted to go that far into it. But her name is R-I-C-Q-U-I.
Riki. I'm assuming that it's Riki. Just, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm assuming that that's what it is.
Oh, let's see here. Uh, have of these again read. And then, of course, this froze.
So this, da-da-da-da. Oh, gosh. No, not reading that one. That one's a ditty headline.
I don't even know why a Diddy headline would make it in here, but okay.
This, uh, Florida, oh, we got the guy in the lawnmower.
Uh, no, this guy wrecked a $200,000 McLaren in Florida during a live stream after texting while driving in the rain.
Uh, it's a YouTuber. I hate YouTube. I'm sorry. I'm so tired of the stuff, the YouTuber stuff.
Who was it?
Some guy, I don't know. I don't want to say his name because I don't want people to think of familiar with his content.
He just looks, he's like, he was driving around.
in the rain texting in the rain while driving to McLaren and you wrecked it $200,000 McLaren
$200,000 car that this turd wrecked. I have no, no, nothing. How do you, golly, that's why you can't
give, how old is this guy? I don't even know how old he is. Sorry, I'm dealing with,
everything's freezing. I don't even know who this guy is. What is it? He's 20 years old. Can we stop
with internet stars? He was, he, and wasn't he filming himself? He's filming himself.
He was on live stream. And texting. And he's looking at it. And he's looking at a
his phone and you can see that it's wet and it's stormy outside and he wrecks it $200,000
McClaren. Oh, he totaled it. Oh, it's so bad. The whole front end's crunched under the
guardrail. I want to beat him to death. So I don't know. And guess what? It was only for
185,000 people watching. That was the extent of his live stream. Each of them could donate a dollar
and they still wouldn't be able to cover the cost of the car. Wow. All right, we got more on the way.
Third hour coming up. Stick with us.
Welcome back to the program.
Dana Lash with you, top of this third hour.
And we are getting you set up for the rest of the day.
And we've been watching Hurricane Milton.
We've been watching the fight with that that's been happening at the,
from the vice president.
I got to tell you, I'm like, I'm trying to be real cool,
but I'm just so done with people defending this stuff.
and I keep seeing it.
I get it that Democrats are freaking out
that the live love laugh campaign
has hit the skids.
But that doesn't mean
that the Vice President of the United States
gets to insert herself
into this issue of hurricane response
when that's not standard operating procedure.
Biden already had a phone call
with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis yesterday.
And he said two different times,
he tweeted about it, great phone call,
et cetera, et cetera.
You know, he said that they're getting what they need.
We're here to help.
He reiterated it again at a press conference this morning, which I thought was interesting because he did nothing to rehabilitate or to help out Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris embarrassed herself on the tarmac yesterday when she was asked about, she was set up.
It was a set up question from the media who asked her about DeSantis.
And was he ignoring your phone call.
And Harris was like, yeah, he's ignoring my phone call.
He's not answering me.
And DeSantis hit back and said, look, she didn't ever even called.
She's never called.
She didn't call yesterday.
She has never called.
And he said, I'm not, you know, we don't have time.
to be made into a campaign opportunity for her right now.
And he's right.
He's absolutely right.
But it was just petty and ridiculous the way that she dealt with it on the tarmac.
And I can't play this enough.
Let me play it one more time.
Because again, you're president of the United States or your vice president of the United States.
And I get it that you are in the middle of a campaign.
But when something like this happens, all the politics and the pettiness and the partisanship should be put to the side.
she was asked in a setup because her people had gone out to complain to the media for, you know, in all, all day yesterday about DeSantis not taking her call.
He talked to Biden, but I guess he's too good to talk to her too. He was supposed to talk to both of them for some reason.
And she was mad that he didn't talk to her, even though apparently she didn't call. But anyway, she could have said, you know, the Florida governor is doing everything he can to prepare his state for historic category five storm, hurricane. You know, they're looking at 20-foot surges.
you know, we are, the administration is here for him, whatever he needs to assist, we're here for
Floridian. She could have left it at that, and instead she decided to do one of the most
unprofessional and catty, outright bitchy things I've ever seen. And it's this, it's audio
sunlight six, listen.
Governor DeSantis, NBC has reporting Governor DeSantis is ignoring your calls on hurricanes, resources,
and help the situation here.
No, moments of crisis, if nothing else, should really,
be the moment that anyone who calls themselves a leader says they're going to put politics aside,
people are in desperate need of support right now. And playing political gains at this moment in these
crisis situations, these are the height of emergency situations. It's just utterly irresponsible and
it is selfish and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you have to know what to do,
which is to put the people first. How is he not putting the people first? Because he talked to Biden,
and also wouldn't talk to her, even though they say she didn't call.
That is, do you see how she should have responded and then how she did respond?
That is embarrassing.
That right there proves that she does not have what it takes to be executive in the executive office.
That's embarrassing.
Good heavens.
That's so embarrassing.
It was petty and it was unhelpful.
And it, she, I mean, she's mad because she couldn't make it into a campaign stunt.
She's like playing political games at this moment.
What games is he playing?
Nothing.
By the way, he, audio somebody, too, he said, no, this, we did not get a call from her.
Listen.
I didn't know that she had called.
So I'm not sure who they called.
They didn't call me.
And their characterization of it was something that they did.
It wasn't anything that anybody in my office did in terms of saying that it was political.
No, I don't really want to answer questions about this.
This is not a time for politics.
No, excuse me, Gary.
you and your publication will twist anything that's done to try to make a political agenda.
That's what you do. That's how you get your clicks.
I understand that. I understand that's the business model.
Well, but I don't want to talk about politics because, well, but I have a feeling that however you do,
you guys will find a way to frame it. That's just your schick. I get it. It's fine.
But I don't want to participate in it. We have had to respond to a category four hurricane.
we've had to prepare and now respond to something that may hit as a major hurricane,
maybe category four, may even be bigger than that.
We hope that it does.
But that should be the focus.
And I think some of these questions are trying to create some type of political angle where there's just none there.
Yeah, none there.
Audio son before he said he was asked about it on two separate times on Fox.
Well, did you talk to anyone in the administration?
And he said he talked to Biden.
Listen to this.
This is DeSantis responding to that.
And so for Kamala Harris to try to say that my sole focus on the people of Florida is somehow selfish is delusional.
She has no role in this.
In fact, she's been vice president for three and a half years.
I've dealt with a number of storms under this administration.
She has never contributed anything to any of these efforts.
And so what I think is selfish is her trying to blunder into this.
No.
And here's the thing.
She has no role.
No, she has no role in this process.
I'm in contact with the president of the United States.
I'm in contact with FEMA director.
She has never called, ever, before any other hurricane.
What makes this one different?
Oh, that's right.
We have an election in four weeks.
That's what.
And suddenly she needs the attention.
That's what it is.
Now it looks even more depraved, doesn't it?
It looks even more depraved.
more ridiculous.
And this is right off of her disastrous interview with 60 minutes.
So first off, audio sound by 26, you need to listen to her super heavily edited word salad answer on Israel.
Now, I'm going to give Bill Whitaker credit because producers and reporters don't necessarily,
a lot of these anchors, unless it's like a Diane Sawyer level or George Stephanopoulos level,
and Whitaker's accomplished, but he's not that level.
they only get to exert so much editorial control over the way that interviews are conducted and edited.
I will say that.
So I just considering how he handled the interview and the other questions,
I don't think that he was involved in the prepping of this for the rest of the American audience.
But I want you to listen to this.
This is them editing this word salad answer on Israel.
It's crazy.
But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.
But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States.
States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this ward to end.
That is, do you see the difference there?
Yeah, that is, that's one hell of an edit right there.
One hell of an edit.
And she went on the view.
So, this is her timeline right now.
She does this interview 60 minutes.
They release some bad stuff.
She has this horrible reaction with the hurricane.
Then the 60 minutes interview, more of this stuff comes out.
Then she was on the view today.
Audio sound by 28.
So the view, I'm just giving you the chronological order of what is the slow circle of the commode
of how she's handling the optics of her campaign.
This is 28 where they were talking about.
I mean, right out, I noticed that this came out right after the word salad edit dropped.
Just watch this.
Now, he said this morning, you've never called regarding any of the storms Florida's had since
you've been vice president until apparently now and called it political.
What's your response to that?
Well, first of all, I have called and talked with in the course of this crisis, this most recent crisis, Democrat and Republican governors.
Called, taking the call, answered the call, had a conversation.
So obviously, this is not an issue that is about partisanship or politics for certain leaders, but maybe is for others.
Wow.
It just keeps getting worse and worse and worse and worse and worse.
Worse and worse and worse.
Oh, man.
She won't let it go.
You're, what in the world?
This is so bad.
She's so bad at this.
No political acumen.
And as Kane knows, she's not even in the chain of command with this stuff.
So she's never called, and she hasn't called in it because other people in his administration said it.
And by the way, her and King's right, her, uh,
response here on the view was this was released right after audio soundbite 31. Can you hit that?
Thank you. I. And I said, as far as you,
the governor of Florida has been cooperative. He said he's gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday. And I, and I said,
I said, no, you're doing a great job.
It's all being done well.
We thank you for it.
And I literally gave my personal phone number to call.
So I don't know.
There was a rough start in some places,
but every governor, every governor from Florida to North Carolina
has been fully cooperative and supportive
and acknowledge what this team is doing.
And they're doing an incredible job.
We've got a lot more to do.
I kind of think that Biden and Harris aren't on the same page here.
They're not on the same page with us at all.
She's trying to make this into a fight.
He's like, no, it's all good.
Ooh.
Yikes.
Yikes.
It's real bad.
Telling you.
So it's not going to work out well for her.
And in the meantime, people are just getting prepared.
They're just trying to get prepared for Hurricane Milton.
And now, all of the news you would probably make.
It's time for Dana's Quick 5.
All right, so a couple of things here.
Osama bin Laden's son was banned from reentering France.
He looks like a gun control advocate, I got to say.
He just does.
I didn't even know he was around.
But yeah, he's social, he was glorifying terrorism.
So he was banned.
Are you surprised?
Is anybody surprised the goat doesn't fall far from?
Let's see.
The Gen Z can't cope with life or hold down a job,
and they blame lazy Gen X parenting.
their failures. I think Gen Z needs
as asked me, just saying it.
Gen X, no, a lot of them are actually
from baby boomers, like baby
boomers, like the bad ones, not the good ones.
But they said that they can't cope
with life, and it's because they were raised by Gen X,
and I just think it's because you have crappy parents and you're probably
horrible people, and you shouldn't blame
an entire generation for it. There you go.
Google's new AI is going to turn
anything into a podcast. Yay, let's all
put razors in our ears.
Yeah, that's how books and podcasts.
Yay, Google. Someone isolated.
Perry Farrell's vocals from the night of the Jane's Addiction Fight, and it's bad. Do we have it or no?
No, no. We don't have any of the audio. Oh, okay. Well, it's bad then. You can only imagine.
It's definitely bad. A hideous 70s interior trend is making a surprise comeback in homes. Oh, boy.
I think this is millennials. Wild sage, lemon peach, sorbet, mint, and avocado are becoming popular colors inside of home decor amongst that cohort, younger millennials and Gen Ziers.
they're taking you back to avocado green.
Oh my gosh.
They say the retro shades are,
it looks dingy and nasty is what it looks like.
If you're trying to make it a thing,
I hope that you have to spend an ungodly amount of money in 10 years
just to redo your bathroom because you deserve it.
You deserve the financial penalty.
For people that lived in the 70s,
they know that carpet was that color,
like toilets were that color.
Everything was that color.
Everything was that color.
It was horrible.
I mean, I only, because I was grew up poor, so I just, we couldn't afford to redo our house.
So in the 80s, that's what it's what our house looked like.
That's what it looked like.
The first house I ever had that I got as a young adult, that's what it'll look like.
So, yeah, I'm just saying, that's pretty, that is pretty hideous.
It is.
Fashion designers are embracing a hideous new shoe trend.
It's called, it's sturdy shoes are making a comeback.
First off, I hate kitten heels.
Kitten heels are flats from women who can't commit to higher heels because they,
either can't walk in them or they don't have enough calf muscles. Make a commitment. Make the commitment.
Kitten heels are stupid and when I see them, I want to stomp them off. Just saying. So they said that
sturdy shoes are making a comeback. What does that mean? It means platform everything so everyone can
clomp around looking like a Clydesdale. That's what it looks like. You look like a Clydesdale.
Women are not supposed to have brick feet. They're not supposed to have giant feet where you look
like space marines walking around. You're not supposed to have that. Like you're supposed to have dainty ankles and
you're supposed to, you know, look like humans, not like Clydesdale's, just saying, oh, I am reacting
horribly to this article that I just came about at a tech website, which is called Underconsumption
Corps. We're in a broke economic period, and now people are trying to say that it's because
of late-stage capitalism, and so now we're at under-consumption core. And if you ask them to
identify it in a proper journalistic context wherein the lead is immediately put up front in the
first graph, well, they can't.
they have to later on in the articles say under consumption corps is framed as the antidote to overconsumption.
I read articles like this and it makes me want to be such a maximalist that I want to consume everything.
I have such a real reaction of this kind of stuff.
Like tiny houses make me want to be a maximalist.
All white everything makes me want to vomit color.
Oh, I can't stand it.
They want you to live in boxes and have shiplap everywhere and be poor and eat bugs.
That's what they want.
That's the truth of it.
Let's just be honest.
And a woman was hospitalized after a call.
cauliflower falls on her head in a British store.
And the supermarket apparently had an insulting response to her.
She apparently had a severe headache, nausea, and dizziness.
Sounds like concussion.
But she said that she slammed the supermarket.
They gave her a 25-pound voucher and some taxi fare.
And she said that was insulting.
How does a cauliflower fall on your head?
Like, what are you doing that a cauliflower falls on your head in the store?
Like, stop.
Just stop it.
All right.
So coming up, we got Dean Kane coming up next.
And we got more following the latest Hurricane Milton.
All of it.
Stick with us.
Keep your finger on the Pulse with the Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis.
Whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back to the program.
Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this third hour, and you can listen coast to coast.
Also, well, if you're not listening torestrily, you can catch the simulcast, Channel 347 DirecTV, also on Rumble where the discussion happens, X, we're everywhere.
And we've been following this insane, I mean, it's.
It's a historic category five, storm, Hurricane Milton.
We have tons of listeners in Florida.
We've got a lot of family and friends in Florida.
I've been hearing from everybody.
We're also following the recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene, so it's a one-two punch.
And at a time like this, you know, you're, you know, Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, preparing his state for yet another storm.
This one hitting right directly impacting Tampa Bay Area, huge widespread damage is expected.
He's preparing for this.
He's talking to the president of the United States.
And then in the middle of this, you know, standard operating procedure, the vice president decides to insert herself into this.
And we played the audio.
I've never seen anything like it.
She's never been a part of this before.
Now suddenly wants to be.
I wonder why that is.
Let's ask our friend Dean Kane about that.
I think we've had Dean on the show before.
I think he's been on the show before.
Everybody's Superman.
Like he could literally just like fly up into the sky and like fly the other way and stop all this.
Don't know why he doesn't.
But Dean Kane joins us now.
His new film, God's Not Dead and God We Trust is out.
We'll talk with him about that here in a little bit.
But I got to get his response to this because I know, Dean, first off, it's good to see you, my friend.
I know you're as fired up about this as I am.
When has the vice president ever been a part of this process?
It's always been the president talks to the governor.
They have a discussion.
What do you need?
I got it, this, that.
And then it's done.
The vice president never comes along and goes, excuse me, excuse me, but it's an election and it's Kamala Harris.
That's 100%.
So she completely inserted herself into the situation.
and DeSantis just flamed her.
I mean, he crushed her.
I said it real clear.
She's not even in the chain of command.
She has nothing to do with it.
She's inserting herself into this.
I'm talking to the president.
President Biden said he's got my cell phone number.
What does he need?
Tell me what it is.
So she looks not good again.
Did it hit you that they were not on the same page?
Like Biden and Harris did not seem to be on the same page with us?
Well, let's just say like when she comes out to do a big interview or a hit and he does
a live presser in the press room for the first time during his entire presidency, it kind of feels
like things aren't coordinated very well, which is really a microcosmo of this entire administration
anyway, or they're very well coordinated to do destruction to this country. So it's been awful.
Yeah, but I don't think he and I don't think Kamala and Biden seem to be meshing together very well.
It's almost like they're not a team anymore. It almost seems like if you wanted to very subtly get
revenge on someone for maybe ousting you, that'd be one way that you would do it.
But political people never do that.
No.
No.
That never happens.
Never happens.
I can see it happening very easily.
I think, you know, President Biden is somebody who gets, can get offended, hold a grudge
and want to strike back.
If not him, I could certainly see Jill want to do it.
I'm all for that in fighting.
I'm all for that.
We're talking with our good friend Dean King.
If you're listening and not watching the simulcast, you know, Dean Kaine, obviously,
you know, back to a filmmaker who's literally Superman.
I know you, you remember the coverage of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ian and Adalia and
all of the other hurricanes.
And there were always, it's like, it's not something that we make fun of, but it's just like
one of the things that goes along with hurricane coverage.
There's always the guy in waiters, waste deep water, like, I'm out here and the winds,
you think the guy's going to get blown away.
And they're out there of covering all this stuff.
In some instances, I think like with CNN and Hurricane Katrina, they really were politicizing
it.
Let me ask you this.
Why have we not seen that with North Carolina?
Because it's an abject disaster for real, and FEMA is not doing any good.
You know, without X out there, without Elon Musk out there, protecting free speech, we wouldn't hear anything about it.
But the fact that every person who has a cell phone can say, look, we're on the ground in North Carolina.
FEMA is causing us trouble.
When Tim Kennedy says, you know, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to trust Tim Kennedy over a government.
over a FEMA spokesperson, because this is a man who has demonstrated time and time again
his desire to help Americans and to give and to serve.
You know, so when he says something like they're just getting in the way, when you see regular
people from North Carolina saying they're just getting in the way, they're causing this trouble,
the 750 is a loan that you have to pay back or they will take your property.
I mean, all of these things are crazy, crazy, crazy.
So I just think that the mainstream media, you know, this doesn't look good for the current administration.
So they're not gonna push it because they wanna push Kamala up in this election and they want
to support that.
Even though the regular people know, it's like this, it's like we're being gaslit the entire time.
Oh, Kamala's great, it's a new way forward.
No, it's not.
She just said on the view today, it's not a new way forward.
She literally said, I wouldn't change anything in the last three and a half years.
And I was deeply involved in every single decision.
It's the same way forward.
When we could have, who's been on the ground?
Donald Trump's been on the ground.
Elon Musk with Starlink.
These guys are doing stuff.
They're there.
We could have a dream team with RFK, with Vivek Ramoswamy.
I mean, we have a group here who are real game changers and who are there on the ground in North Carolina doing everything they can.
You know, Mark Robinson, the Senate governor, running for governor.
He's out there.
You know, these guys are really working for the people.
And I think people are seeing it.
But the media just won't cover it because they're biased.
So that goes right into it because North Carolina battleground state, Trump is up 0.6.
North Carolina. I mean, it's virtually tied. But what you just said is, I think, incredibly important
that people see it and they feel it. David Axelrod had made a comment the other day where he was
saying that it's going to be hard to wrangle Trump voters or people who might lean to become
Trump voters. Because when you're told by Democrats, Dean, no, the government's here to help.
Let FEMA do it. And then FEMA shows up a week later and they're not helping. But you see like the
private public partnerships with some of the state governments or just like religious groups or
or non-religious groups or business people coming out and helping.
Is that not the ideology in practice?
And don't you, I mean, four weeks away from an election, that, I feel like that's going
to be weight on people's minds when they go vote.
Oh, I sure hope so.
But Asterra was talking about how difficult it's going to be for some of those people in the
rural communities because they have nothing now.
How are they going to get to the ballot pops?
It was like, you know, the more affluent in Asheville will get there because it's a city
center and so on and so forth, and they're going to make themselves hurt.
I think the people in North Carolina
and in that rural part of Western North Carolina
and my son went to college in North Carolina
I love North Carolina. It's amazing. I thought of
getting a place there. Wow.
Good because it's been a wonderful thing for us and it's
the weather's fantastic and it's just a beautiful
spot and I love the state
but they are just getting devastated right now.
But I think it's really clear
to the people that
it's a joke. I mean it's ridiculous what's going on there.
I want to even the other Tim Kennedy thing I thought was the greatest
to say it is he's like one redneck
is greater power than 100 PhDs because they're out there with an ATV and moving things out
and getting things done.
I just think it's clear that you have this administration and this group glossing over saying,
we're going to help, we're wonderful, big government, we're giant, we're fantastic,
when you really have on the ground people, you know, people that are, they're not these big NGOs
that are making a ton of money off the government, by the way.
It's your local church.
It's everybody getting together.
There was a sheriff on who spoke to Sarah.
Oh my God, I can't believe.
Sarah, you're-
Judging him now.
Sarah Carter.
I'm sorry, Sarah.
Sarah had this sheriff on there, and I'm a deputy sheriff.
And he was a local guy.
And he was so ticked off that he made it very, very clear
where he felt that the government was and what they're doing there.
You know, just stay out, basically just stay out.
And he spit on the ground.
actually, you know, you might have had something about the clear out.
They're spitting. That's serious. You mentioned something, talking to our friend Dean Kane,
that I've only seen reported, like, minimally. That's $750. You know,
I felt like it's pawn stars. Like, oh, the best I can do is $750. You got to pay it back.
Not a lot of people are reporting that. That has to be paid back.
Not only does it have to be paid back, but if you don't pay it back, it's a little print
on that FEMA thing. If you don't pay it back, they seize your property over a seven
$750 loan. It's literally government stealing, stealing your land for seven. I'm going to buy your
acre of land for, you know, $750. Hey, it's a great business if you can get into it.
Why are we not in that business, Kane? Like, I feel like, you know, that's like a great way to
make money. Golly. Because we're not the government, Dana. I know. We're not the government. And I love, too,
what you said. And I saw my family from Southern Missouri. Like, we're, you know, Ozark people.
and redneck power is like a real thing.
You never know what some good old boy has got in his shed.
I mean, they'll come out with a John boat and it'll have like a crane on it
and it might have like, you know, a 50-cala-a-a-duce on the back.
You never know what they got.
They're there.
They'll clean some things up.
They're there to take care of you.
All right, I wanted to ask you because you, I know you were in my town.
I saw you actually, like ran into you in Texas.
It was so good to see you.
That was so random and awesome.
So Dean was in, I got to tell people.
I almost sound like a heathen.
And I'm like, I don't even want to like, it's stay.
I went in with my, I went in with my kids and we went to go see Beetlejuice.
And then Dean Cainton's there for God's Not Dead.
I'm like, I'm going to go to church and like, you know, ask for forgiveness and going to see
Beetlejuice.
And he's here like, I'm here for a movie about the Lord.
And I was so good to see you.
But tell me, this is the new film because it's a series.
And I had a cameo in one, like the second or third one.
But it's God's Not Dead.
In God We Trust.
God's Not Dead.com is the, is the, is the,
the movie, the trailer's all out there. But it's, you know, kind of like telling where we are all at
as a nation, like people as a nation now. Tell me about this because I know you were excited to
have taken part. It was good to see you. You guys had good turnout. Yeah, it was wonderful. And the film
has done really, really, really well. So we're very excited about that. I was in the first,
God's Not Dead. There's five of them, this being the fifth one. They're all standalone movies.
So you don't have to watch one to understand this or that. So this particular film,
I reprise my character, who is not a great guy.
but it's about politics.
You're kind of a meaning.
Yeah, he's not wonderful.
Mark Shelley, he's interested in Mark Shelley,
which is like a lot of power brokers, they are.
They're interested in their bottom line
and what they can do for themselves,
and they don't care what happens to anybody else.
But this film is about a pastor has to jump in
and run for a congressional seat
because someone dropped out at the last second,
they asked him to do it,
and then it becomes the question of, you know,
where does God fit, where does faith fit in politics?
and everyone says, oh, it's a separation of church and state and blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yes, it is, meaning that the state can make no, the government can make no religion that you have to follow or anything of that nature, which is what it was intended for.
But to have, you know, your faith is going to inform your voting, your values, your morals, what you do.
I happen to be Christian now, but you'll kind of know where I stand on most issues.
Would I outlaw X, Y, and Z? Probably not if I were a representative. No, of course not.
because I want to, you know, voice the voice of my people.
I want to represent their voice.
So we talk about in this film, you know, where does your faith fit in?
And how important is it in this election?
And even the shirt I have on right now is from that moment where President Trump was almost
assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Now he's come back and made a triumphant return.
It's brilliant.
But in that moment, you know, when he turned his head and got shot, I argue that God had
a hand in that right there.
Because imagine where we would be right now, Dana, if he had been assassinated.
what would be going on in this world, in this country, in this election, it would change everything.
And so I'm so glad that it hasn't.
And I pray to God that Trump gets in and brings in this all-star team and changes the direction of this country and the world.
And I know you've touched it because the movie kind of touches on this.
And you've talked about it before as well.
And you brought up something that I thought was important.
Because about, you know, separation of church and state, it was never, you know, the Republic is always, it was.
always on that that establishment of the right of man under that of the divine so it's not you know
can't be polluted by that of men and it was always about not the domination of a denomination but do you
think it's weird because Christians go out and vote but yet when it comes to the amount of
participation in voting and then in culture it is it's wildly disproportionate and do you think
it's because they it does seem like and I have some very you know I have friends at church
that are reluctant to get involved in politics
because politics is like the dirty thing.
What do you tell those people?
I say you may not be interested in politics,
but I promise you politics is interested in you.
And it's the reason I moved from California out here to Nevada,
no state income tax,
way less regulation, stand your ground,
castle doctrine, so many things that I like about here.
I feel the Second Amendment is very well protected here.
You know, the firearms that I have,
and I am a firearm owner.
You said, wait, you didn't just go into the store and go,
I want a Glock.
I just want a black Glock.
That's all I want.
Which Glock would you like?
There's more than one?
I mean, no.
So that, that, it's a, it's a, it's a crazy, crazy thing.
I even, I lost my train of thought now.
No, you were talking about you lived in Nevada because, you know, what Christians think that
politics, it's kind of not all, but some.
It's a kind of a dirty thing.
This is a huge part, though, Dana.
There are up to, there are up to 40 million Christians in this country who don't vote.
And that's something that.
that you need to get out and vote your values and your morals.
You really need to get out there.
And Christians getting out there would be phenomenal.
Now, we're trying to change the culture by making so many faith-based films because they say,
you know, Andrew Breitbart once famously said that politics are downstream from culture.
So you get, if we can create, I do a lot of these films with JC films, a lot of these
faith-based films.
Those are smaller ones.
God's not dead or bigger ones.
I love doing those kind of films because I do want to change the culture.
I want people to see how your faith can work within politics and within the world to make it a better place.
I'm such an optimist.
I love that.
You're a happy warrior.
I'm an absolutely happy warrior.
I won't say joyful warrior because.
No, you're not live, laugh, love, Kamala.
You're not that.
No, you're not her.
I am not a Marxist.
I have a capitalist through and through, but I have a very charitable person.
And, you know, most of the charity that really gets out there comes from faith-based organizations, church groups.
and then things like that.
So when you get like the Red Cross not going and visiting the Israeli hostages in Gaza,
I have a problem with the size of that organization and then not getting in there and doing
that.
You got to do it under every circumstance.
Amnesty International, they don't say a word.
I mean, that's kind of stuff drives me nuts.
So it's your church.
It's your church.
It's my church.
Those are the ones that go out there and get in it.
We're short on time now.
We've got to have you back.
Dean Kane, the movie, God's Not Dead.com.
And you can go and find him real Dean Kane on X.
Good to see you, my friend.
We'll have you back.
Thank you, Tina.
A pleasure.

I just want to know why Corny Jean-Pierre was dressed like a Gotham gangster yesterday at the Impressive ALE.
I asked that if you get, I had one of you respond and was like, this was the first thing I read this morning.
It has set my mood all day because they opened a,
Because I sent out the newsletter like six in the morning for subscribers,
and it's the stuff I'm going to be talking about during the day.
And it was not Photoshopped.
And someone was like, I cannot.
There's the first thing I opened.
And I had to laugh because they thought they were like,
until I read the caption, I thought it was fake.
She literally dressed like a Gotham gangster yesterday.
Like I, you know, was waiting for her to, I don't know, same as it ever was.
I just, why, girl, why?
That jacket is too big for you.
Whose jacket did she get?
That is not her jacket.
That is not her jacket.
Come on.
All right.
Today's stupidity cane.
I'm taking up all your time.
Are there padded shoulders?
I don't know, man.
She doesn't have no neck now.
Cut 27-1.
This is the view asking Kamla
if she'd change anything that's happened over the past three and a half years.
Listen to this.
Well, if anything,
would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?
There is done a thing that comes to mind in terms of,
and I've been a part of it.
Somehow a new way. New way forward, guys. New way forward. More. That's all it is. That's her slogan. More. I want a black block. All right, that does it for us today. I don't know. God bless. I'll be back with you tomorrow.
