Welcome back to the program, Zana Lash, with you, getting you set up for the weekend, right? And just getting you of just a briefed of all this stuff that's been going on. We've been diving into the Grand Platner stuff. It's pretty insane. And if you miss anything, you can go back to the podcast from the previous two hours. And everything's up there. So we talked about the Grand Platner stuff. This is another story that popped off over.

like the past couple of days. And I don't know why people announce, I think people overshare on social media to an ungodly degree. It's insane. And I don't think anybody at this point would disagree with that. There is so much oversharing. And I was reading this story of this couple

that they're an influencer couple. What in the world is that? We're influencers. This is like, homebuyers, the HGTV show, where you have the couple that are like, yes, she's she does Sanskrit

calligraphy and I'm an underwater hemp weaver and our budget's $5 million. Yeah. It's like, so they're an influencer couple. Jesse and Ashley Ridgeway. He is known as Mick Jugger Nuggets.

Oh, uh, serious story. Oh my gosh. Okay. Let me try to get through this. So it's sad. I mean, the story's sad because of what it entails.

So they, I guess, are one of those couples that overshare everything online. And they were talking about how they terminated a pregnancy because it came out. They learned that their unborn child had Down syndrome. And they shared the news very theatrically on Instagram. They had it in their Instagram stories. And they literally were like, we're announcing that this, you know, we did this and they said the choice was not made lightly. And they said, yes, you know, some people may disagree with the decision. And it was the best choice for their family.

It was extremely traumatic, et cetera. So my first thought was that is one of the most callous things I've ever seen. that is horrific they're like well the baby it looks like the baby has down syndrome we're going to have to you know we're going to have to abort I first saw this because a friend of mine

who he's since passed but had a down syndrome son she remarked on it how it made it sick to her stomach and she said her son was one of the best things that ever happened to her and that's when I started reading about this story And the callousness of this couple just cannot be underestimated.

So they made this big announcement. And it also came out that they apparently spent a lot of money on their dogs, which I don't mind, you know, people spending a lot of money on their dogs. But they had a dog that had like a kidney condition or something and they spent money on surgery and rehabilitation for the dog. and all this stuff. And I think what? The dog's like five or six years old. I can't remember. But a lot of people were noting that it seemed weird to them that they spent so much time, money, and effort on their dog. And their baby has Down syndrome and they choose to abort the baby. And Juan's showing you, if you're watching the simulcast right now, you can see it. I mean, it's, they made a big thing. they get into the statistics, like they announced their decision, and then they went through this,

like, big explanation for it. And I, I don't, some people are saying that it sounds like these people are responsible. And, like, one of the comments that I read was that, do you know how negatively it would impact both parents and the child's quality of life if they weren't prepared to deal with a baby that has Down syndrome? And they recorded themselves, like talking about it and crying and doing all of this. And then the pushback came. And people started bringing up the dog and all this stuff. So he had, he posted this, this huge comment on X and pulling this up, where he said that he's never seen before such hate and vitriol ever in his life over two people who are grieving the loss, and that's the couple there, grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible

decision. The decision seemed pretty possible for you to make, if I'm being honest. They said the last 24 hours, he writes this on X, the last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is steeply disturbing, being called murderous pieces of blank, evil and compared to Hitler and receiving non-stop death threats. Seeing my six-year-old dog with stage four kidney disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words, an intent in a tweet, or saying that we'll regret this decision forever, is insanity. goes on about the depravity of people online and people who said that he goes so many saying they would have cut the child or put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a Down syndrome child.

That's great. You can do all those things and saying that, but you know, a lot of people throwing the stones don't even have kids, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things that they say they're going to do. I mean, he goes on and on and on. First off, you both need to get real jobs and get offline. You need to get real jobs and get the offline. This is ridiculous. This is also cause and effect. When you show something like this and make it a point to be very theatrical and how you're inviting the public into your lives and you're putting it all out there for

comment and now you're complaining about it, this isn't just like regular, like, let's get ready together or get ready with me. This isn't like that. You, and I'm, I know, I'm, no doubt they were really excited. about having a baby. But if you do not want opinions that are going to hurt your feelings, then maybe you shouldn't share all of that stuff or any of it online. Don't complain about getting feedback when you sought it. Who in the hell puts up information like that to be devoured as content in the first place? You're monetizing this. They're monetizing this.

and sure they can say well it's you know it's sad they're very upset i'm sure they are but i can't help but feel that a lot of they rage that they're feeling is because a lot of what these people are saying is probably accurate it's callous it's like they've never met anyone with down syndrome ever in their lives i that's what it sounds like does it sound like that to you it's i mean they act like the child is going to their child is basically going to be a chain to a bed and never have any life at all. I just I just find them selfish. I find them navel-gazing, selfish, self-aggrandizing people. And they made a big thing about it. They put it all online. They welcomed public comment. They sought it by putting it online like that.

And then they got mad when after they announced that they were aborting their child because their child has down syndrome. then they got mad because people were aghast. You said mean things to my wife. Well, is that worse than killing your baby because they have Down syndrome? And that's exactly what it is. You can dress it up in whatever veneer that you want to. But who are you to determine somebody else's quality of life? That's what I don't get.

Who are you to determine quality of life for someone? And the guy is mad. He goes, there are over a million of people. abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons. This is happening on a daily basis and is the most common outcome. And they kept saying, they kept saying Tresomi 21, it's Down syndrome. That's what it's called. But I kind of feel like they use that because it sounds more, they think it sounds more exotic than just saying Down syndrome. Like it suggests that there's maybe something else there that's like fatal. We don't know. And they go, but yet this one blows up and people are surprised.

And then he acts like he's somehow a virtue warrior because nobody talks about. this. What are you talking about? People have been talking about Down syndrome and abortion for forever, especially European countries that have decided to grant people late-term abortions, even all the way up to the moment of birth in some of these European countries if the child has Down syndrome. They're literally, I mean, this was a major story like six years ago. What do you mean? Nobody's talking about it. Who are these social media influencers that believe that life outside of their sphere begins the day that they start posting on social media? Dear heavens, you people are insufferable. Insufferable.

and I just they're they I feel like they do feel shame and now they're deflecting it and projecting it on everyone else I mean what people don't talk about is and what they're I think what people are outraged about is you know that I mean these people went up and they were like well you know we're just going to get rid of our child he gets into how his wife was sedated

for the procedure unfortunately the sedation doesn't exist to the child in that regard. So the baby with Down syndrome felt everything that was being done to it. Good heavens. And they killed her. And we're supposed to feel bad for these people, these self-aggrandizing influencers. Again, both of these people need to get the hell off of social media, get real jobs and touch grass. Because they're monetizing this.

When you're an influencer, that's your thing. So they're getting all of these clicks. And that's the whole entire reason that they even put it on social media in the first place. Because it's part of your whole schick. It's part of your brand. Put in everything online. Like, oh my gosh. That's for monetization.

And we're supposed to somehow feel like they're the innocent people in all of this. I've just, this is one of the reasons why I hate the whole influencer racket. We have people all the time that are like, that come up and they ask. They asked me if I'll post about this on Instagram. I don't do it at all on X. I've actually really never done it for payment on Instagram or anything like that. I've never done that. And the way that they have all their social media set up, I mean, they want that to be their whole cottage industry.

I just, you know, they're like, oh, the loss of our, you didn't lose, first off, the way they describe it, well, the loss of our child, the murder of your child. because the child had down syndrome. And they thought that it was going to be inconvenient for them. The dog that required the surgery, yeah, people are absolutely bringing it up. And they have every right to. And you know how they know about your damn dog? Because you posted about it, oversharer. You are the one who posted about it on social media.

Don't post this stuff on social media and then bitch and moan when people criticize you for it. You started this. No one knew anything about these people until they started oversharing everything on social media. No one cares about your stupid makeup routine. No one cares about the dumb food you eat. No one cares about your daily. This is what I do. A day in the life. Nobody cares. They have their own lives to live. Grieving the loss of our unborn child. How did you lose your child? You aborted your child because your child had down syndrome. I just, I don't feel bad for these

disgusting, heartless, soulless people. Maybe their dogs should be taken from them too. Heaven forbid the moment they find their dog to be too inconvenient. You saw what happened to the baby. We got more on the way. Our partners that bring you the program. All right, folks, so I want to tell you about something that actually works. This is the world's number one expanding garden hose and their newest upgrade. It's the pocket hose ballistic. I like anything that has the word ballistic after it. I don't have time for cheap, stupid equipment that fails after one season. I am done fighting with it. I'm done with the kinks. Eric Swalwell. I'm done with the tangles. I'm done with the leaks. I'm done with all of it. It's a waste of money. It's enraging. So that's why the pocket hose ballistic,

that's why you need to have this thing because it's built different. I could beat somebody to death with this. It's made, it's reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer. Now, you don't know what that is, but you do know what it's been used in before. Bulletproof vests. So that means, my friends, the strength is real. Real durability. No nonsense. It's not going to mess up your garden. It's not going to like tie a knot around you. If you're tied to replacing your cheap hose every year, this is your fix. The ballistic is lightweight. It's super easy to handle. And I like what comes with it. It comes with the pocket pivot. So no more fighting the spigot. And ladies, it's gold. Where it moves, you move, you move, it moves. It's so simple. It's smart. You're done. For a limited time. When you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you're going to get that free. You see it right here. 360-degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. Just text Dana to 6430s. That's Dana to 64-0-0-0 for your two free gifts with purchase.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, top of the second hour here on Friday. And they're still counting votes in California. They're still counting votes. I don't know how long. I don't know how long that's going to happen. how long they're doing it in Los Angeles for that race. Here's one of the headlines.

California elections. Results in Los Angeles are slow, but that's expected. I mean, they're dealing with the governor's race. They're like, oh, it's too close to call. They all of it. They've been running overtime, all the media outlets, running overtime to defend the way that they're doing things. I mean, it is insane how long it's taking them to count this. Texas, the whole state of Texas, by the time you brush your teeth and go to bed, you know exactly where everything.

You know where everything stands. They're acting like they have all of these protections in place, but they don't have like voter ID. And they don't, all of this other stuff is stupid. This is, I mean, I've been watching or reading rather these, like these headlines. California voting ends Tuesday. The results don't expect them any time soon. It's an actual headline. New York Times.

Remaining uncounted ballots in California are likely to lean Democrat. I know everybody's very shocked, right? Incredibly shocked. Oh, it doesn't mean that their elections are rigged, says the Associated Press. I don't know. Trump doesn't buy it either. Listen to POTUS. This is cut one. So it's no mail in ballots.

You see that to what's happening in California. They're rigging the election. Now, maybe we caught them and maybe they won't be able to get away with it. They tried with me. They did it successfully the second time, the third time. We made it too big to rig. Too many votes. They couldn't do it. They can only go. They sort of gave up at about 9 or 7 when they got slaughtered with the votes that came in. So I'm reading some of the accounts of why it apparently is supposed to be why it's so slow and why they're struggling. And they said that the closest contest rely heavily on voting by mail.

they say that the biggest variables aren't so much the policies. It's the margin of victory and the number of ballots that are cast at the last minute. Hmm. Sure. Sure. Sure it is. Yeah, that's it's it. They said that, well, the quicker the call, the wider the margins are.

That doesn't make any sense, Kane. That does not make sense. Oh, if it's a quick call, that means that it was easier for them to count because it's a wide margin. What does that? That's nonsense. Well, it was easier to. do count the votes for people who love chocolate over the people who love vanilla because the people who love chocolate. I mean, it was a difference. There's a bigger disparity. The votes are the same.

It doesn't matter what they lean for. Why the hell does that factor into slowing it down? And how would they know? You don't show an ID. How do they know what color they are? What kind of flavor ice cream they are? I'm saying. You don't know. But they're like they're trying to explain it. Well, it's, you know, it's not because they're counting ballots fast. It's the margins. That's the margins. That's the margins can sometimes be narrow when they're not wide. That's literally a quote. That's a quote. So they say, well, processing time, you know, when you in-person vote, they review your

signature before you cast a ballot, vote by mail. All the processing happens after the ballot. All the verification. They don't have verification. You don't have to provide. So what are you talking about? You don't have to have signature verification. You don't have to have anything.

So what is taking them so long? they got rid of all of the safeguards that they would need in order to validate or affirm the integrity of a cast ballot. That doesn't make any sense. It just all you have to do is count the damn ballot. That's it. Just count them. It's not hard. Oh, the adjust, what did you say?

Can they have to adjust the sensitivity of the machine? Yeah, as far as how they match signatures, some of them were finding failures when they were first implementing the system. and then they decided to sort of dial back the accuracy on that little filter. So now essentially the sensitivity of the machine to identify and match those signatures, it's not working. Yeah, this is ridiculous. It's ridiculous. That was that model play. I, like I said, in Texas, they are so fast with how they do this, the whole entire state of Texas.

Like the Senate race, we knew between Cornyn and Paxton at like 6.30? I think it was done. Everybody knew what the results were going to be. Nobody needed to count anymore. So they say, according to the California Secretary of State, the vote by mail ballots that are postmarked honor before election day, this is for California, L.A., they receive and received within seven days as well as any provisional ballots cast must still be counted. But they don't really, they're not really strong.

with checking this. County election officials have up to 30 days after the election to count ballots. Wow. They may not know until 4th of July. I'm not kidding. The process of counting mail ballots and validating signatures is also arduous, as each envelope signature must match the signature on file. Or you could just, you know, reduce that. Wow. So they said that it's a slow process and There's a lot of mail and ballots, the number of them that remain outstanding. Oh, that's so convenient for you. Excuse, excuse, excuse. California, the counties are also expected to provide the Secretary of State, which oversees the elections.

With an estimated report of remaining on process ballots, they'll share that with the public. But SCOTUS apparently is going to rule on a case or is expected to rule on a case that the RNC brought to end the practice of counting, timely cast but late arriving mail and ballots. Yeah. Wait. Timely cast but late arriving. Come on. Come on.

I just, you, I'm just shocked that they're still counting these. This is insane. They had an analysis from the Brookings Institution. This was back in November 25. And they were saying that they were talking about what you were talking about, Kane, the like false positives or false negatives on signature matching, things like that. There's no. But they're acting like they're doing such careful oversight.

Have you seen the video clips of the people? Like they're, look at me, I'm validating some things, and they're being very careful and very methodical. We're just validating stuff. We're just like, you know, me and my coworkers here, we're just, like, validating things. Nobody believes this. Not a single person.

So we'll see. At some point, there will probably be a winner announced. But I'm telling you, if they all of a sudden, to uncover enough ballots that they take Spencer Pratt out. I'm calling shenanigans on that. That's absolutely cheating. Absolutely cheating. That cannot stand.

So as it is, he's expected to go and face off against Karen Bass and have that actual proper primary in November. So in the meantime, gross, gross, grody, grand platinum. And the way that the media went after this story, the story that came out from the New York Times yesterday, which was supposed to be a follow-up on how gross the Graham Platner is, not a single bit of it surprised me. He seems like that guy. He is a pick-me guy. You know, you can have pick-me girls?

He's a pick-me guy. He's absolutely that. He apparently was saying in one of the things that he told apparently everybody, why is this something that you unless you're trying so hard to show that you're like super tough why who talks like this like if you were ever out with anybody

and they're like yeah if anybody ever broken here I would rape them like not in a gay way though I would rape them to show them that I'm dominant but totally no homo which is pretty much verbatim what he said and Platner's campaign it should be noted

did not at any point dispute any of the stuff that's that they said that he said so these women that came out i mean what really what they they can't anymore he just he is a douche bro i don't know how's to say it i really don't know how else to say it that's who he is and all these women that that i the new york times piece was ridiculous because it went after i thought the women and i some of them were saying that it downplayed the severity of what he did and it really was it was a way for Democrats to take him out without trying to, they're trying to contain the damage and keep it, keep shrapnel from flying to any of them. That's what this was, a controlled takedown.

This was not a Republican takedown because the women, there's no way that the New York Times would have written about any woman if this was a Republican candidate. There's no way. I mean, you guys have seen, there have been people who've lost their entire careers for less in politics. and this, there's just no defending it, but you have Schumer who won't walk away. You have Sanders who won't walk away. You've got Pelosi who won't walk away. AOC won't walk away. And they won't even address anything with the media.

They just, they run off or they have their aides intervene. So it was a controlled hit by Democrats to take him out. But I think so many early votes have already been cast. I'm really curious when the votes do come out. It is going to be a fascinating study about exposés and timing because some people are saying that the New York Times piece came too late. I mean, we'll see. But I'm just amazed at how they have strategized this and how they've gone after the women who came forward. Believe all women, if you ever thought that it was nothing but a stunt, this person.

proves it beyond any reasonable doubt. You know, when they were talking with some of these women, for instance, there have been people in MSNBC that have been going after them, PBS going after them. Someone called them, it's a New York right wing, or it's a right-wing smear campaign. And they went after how one of the women who worked to benefit Brett Kavanaugh during that whole hearing, remember, that we all watched and went through. So the women who were talking to the New York Times, they're incredibly credible. I mean, they're not, again, they weren't asking for the attention.

They weren't even demanding that anybody believed them. They were asked about this guy who has a very sketchy past, has a lot of baggage, a lot of skeletons, and they brought up, when they were talking with the New York Times, I mean, they were talking about specific dates and specific places and third party witnesses and tons of people who are willing to sign their names on official legal documents to corroborate the stuff that these women were telling the New York Times and brought a lot of credibility. And they decided that they were instead going to go after the women, guilt by association, because one of them happens to be a Republican. and go after them and smear their name. And you want to know why women don't like to come forward on this stuff? Now, granted, absolutely women can weaponize it, but so can dudes.

And so can parties. These women did not seek this. You would not have even known had Democrats not arranged to have this controlled hit with Graham Platner and brought in the New York Times. And the New York Times then went and asked the women. You would not have known because nobody was saying anything. They weren't seeking anything out. But they had receipts and they had specificity and they had tons of witnesses.

So a lot of people are saying that this behavior is par for the course. But the media went after the women. That was all ever, like I said, a stunt. They don't care. And now women are, especially with Democrats, women don't want to come forward because they're subjected to being completely destroyed. Nothing has changed since Monica Lewinsky. absolutely nothing has changed. If you're a woman,

it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Marxist or whatever, and you go after one of the golden boys on the Democrat side, they're going to come after you. They will destroy you. Believe all women was just a stunt. They're the ones that you actually have to worry about. Not anybody else. We got more on the way.

Here with you, at this glorious Friday, and we are at the bottom of this first hour. And I really don't want to talk about this story. And I'm really mad about Democrats right now, because, dear heavens, where to start? So let's just start like this.

The Grand Platner candidacy in Maine, so you've got Susan Collins, who's a Republican. And she's granted, I had a conversation about this with a friend of mine last night. She's not the best Republican. We all know this, right? I get it. pretty sure she's better than the guy who's apparently leading the Democrat primary. And that's the other thing. They haven't even had a Democrat primary yet, which is what's crazy. They act like Graham Platner is the only candidate that they have.

And you have Janet Mills who's like, I'm still running. Like she's literally begging people in the press to don't forget that she's running. So, I mean, he was leading them in the polls. A lot of early voting has taken place. place. And he, oh man, and then this other story comes out. So the first story that came out was that he had this Nazi

death's head tattoo on his chest. And he consistently claimed in the early days of his primary that he didn't know that that's what it was. He didn't know

that it was the symbol for specifically the SS guards that were posted at concentration. camps. But then all these texts and everything else come out where he's bragging about it and he was calling it my totem conf and he knew exactly what it was. And then it came out that he was the entirety of his three-year marriage. He was sexting other women and he was soliciting them through apps like kick. I don't know. You know that there's probably more out there. That's the crazy thing. You know that there is more out there. So then it came out. It just never.

friends. It came out that he was on Reddit. He had a lot of, he was very active on social media, which I just don't know how you can be a candidate and do that. I don't know. He was a very active on social media. And he was openly talking about how he liked the chemical smell of toilets and port-a-johns and that he would go tube in it in the port-a-john, right? Let's see. He, where else do you go? He attacked a Purple Heart recipient. He was attacking other veterans. The ex-girlfriends then came out.

So here's the other thing. The New York Times ran the story. This was the story that we were all wondering about. Came out yesterday. Yesterday evening. And it was an interview with a number of his ex-girlfriends who described him, and I'm reading some excerpts. I read it so you don't have to.

As toxic, demeaning, violent, heavy drinking, cheating, etc., one of them said that he would get physical with her that they, the New York Times had reached out to them. They didn't go to the New York Times. That's very important for people to understand. The New York Times went to these women. And it's not, they were, they were not trying to get into the press. press, one of them works in D.C. and is very much not anybody who seeks the press. And so they just, they had to respond to it. Otherwise, the New York Times is going to, you know how it works. The New York Times is going to write the story about you for you, right? So this originated,

I got to be honest, this is a Democrat hit. The fact that they tipped off, they knew this, they tipped off the New York Times, and then the New York Times reaches out to, these women to talk to them. Oh my gosh, she praised, I mean, all these posts are coming out now. The Free Beacon, John Levine over at the Free Beacon, has the story about how Platner celebrated and posted all of this admiration about Nazi Allied troops and about Nazi soldiers. I think when you do that, you're a Nazi.

I'm just saying, if you're like, I love Nazis, that probably means you're a Nazi. You know? I don't know why this is confused or why people are confused over this. So then this story, where to even go? So much more has come out now. And we're going to try to be very delicate here. If you're following me on social media, you know absolutely where this is going.

So it came out that he was in the campaign, well, he was like talking with campaign staff, all this stuff. They all, all of them, all the people who worked with him and his exes were all saying that, quote, he said this a lot. If anybody ever broke in here, I would rape them, she recalled, saying that he added, it would not be in a sexual way, not in a gay way. I would just like rape them to show them that I'm dominant, he said. And I have to stop here for a moment. Is there, is it possible to be a dude and rape another dude? And, and, you know, And, but it's no homo? I mean, I really don't think it's possible for a dude to rape another dude in a hetero way. You know what I mean? I do. I mean, you're a dude, Kane. I'm sorry.

I just want to get this one for the books, you know. I'm afraid you're going to call on me for this one. I mean, there's, there's nothing hetero about that. No, no. No, that's, yeah. Also not the way to assert dominance. Mm-hmm. If that's what your goal is, if your goal is to, you know, act as though you're the dominant one, I don't think you go to rape.

Yeah, I don't think, I don't think you. I don't think that's what the first step is. I think, yeah, I think you're right on that. Yeah. I think that's a, that's a good instinct. Yeah. I don't, I don't quite understand this. All of this stuff is coming down.

Now, these women, there's so much more. There's some things I just, I'm not going to say. This is just, you can read the New York Times piece. I'm not, some of this I'm just not getting into because it's Friday. I'm just trying to preserve what's left. of my soul after this week. So the, it's bad. All right, it's just a bad story.

It's, it's, I mean, we were like, well, what else is going to be worse? I mean, we found out that, you know, he claimed to be like this blue collar oyster farmer, but then he went to a very expensive private school and he got daddy money. Daddy bought his house and his farm, his oyster farm is on his rich friends private island and the number one client for the oyster farm is his mom's restaurant. So he's a giant nepo baby. And you've got a sexting scandal while he's married. Graphic Reddit posts, right?

He's attacking wounded veterans. He loves Nazis and talks about it all the time. I mean, anybody else, Todd Aiken. Do you remember Todd Aiken? Golly. Todd Aiken. who's, I think he's since passed, he made the, the, uh, remember the comment he said where he was talking about legitimate rape in 2012? And he said that it's rare. He was talking about

pregnancy from rape. It was not the most artful way to say. We all know that. I'm not relitigating it. But he said, yeah, legitimate rape. Then he was talking about how the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. That ended his whole life. It didn't just end his campaign. He became a pariah in Republican politics in the state of Missouri. Graham Platner could club a baby seal to death while wearing a Hitler mustache, and they would still celebrate him. But what gets me, all of this, you know that there is another candidate in that primary. Shocking, that's not a Nazi. Doesn't love the Nazis.

Doesn't talk about going and having some private fun times in the Porto John, because you like the chemical smell, that didn't get rough with any ex-girlfriends that didn't talk about raping people all the time to everybody apparently who actually seems kind of normal and almost piteous and that's Janet Mills have they forgotten that she's there

they don't have to do this I mean Bernie Sanders is now hanging to his ankles at this point like Grand Platner's ankles not his own ankles I don't know how Grand Platner would respond to that if he tried to dominate him I don't know anyway

But he there they have to they had already come out and endorsed him now they can't turn around and say oh we're not going to endorse him now or we unendorse him. They can't do that because then that the perception is that they take a hit from that. But I'm just saying the guy sounds like any Nazi way gay. I mean, I don't know how else to put it. He had so many, I'm not going to read this one. There's so many things that apparently read it. The internet's forever. I told you guys this.

Don't ever think that you can just erase stuff and it goes away. This guy's a walking public relations disaster. Just absolutely walking public relations disaster. Now, you know that it's a Democrat plant planted story. By the way, the New York Times handled it. The New York Times was trying to make it about his ex-girlfriends more so than about grand platinum. It's like they wanted to hit Platner, but then,

not all the way, just like a little smack. Because they went after what some of these women did with their jobs, like the one woman who works in D.C., and she knows a lot of some conservative female editorialists that are in D.C. And they went after her job and where she worked, and she did this with this think-take, and she worked for this lawmaker and all of this stuff. And they made it more about her than they did about Grand Platten.

And it's just weird. She says, our name is Lindsay Fyfield. She says that they softened her allegations of abuse because the coverage was actually Democrats going after Democrats. And that's how you know that this was a Democrat plant. These are Democrats trying to get him out of the way so that it's Janet Mills against Susan Collins because the entire party, they really. lies, even though they hold, I really do in my heart believe that most of them believe this. I think that they all agree with all of the stuff that Grand Platner does and talks about and all of that. That's why it doesn't horrify them, because normal people who have a moral compass

are horrified by these type of things. These people are not. They're just, they'll double down on it. So the coverage being softened was because Democrats planted it. And they, this is a Democrat at infighting, and they're going to use these women. Now, everybody else has piled in. So many people on the left are now attacking these women. What happened to believe all women? What happened to that? They're going after the exes as we move, the folks who make the program possible. It's the folks over at Superbeats.

Can you believe that Grand Platner went on MSNB, wait, it's not MSNBC, little Ms. Now, which is the stupidest name ever.

Can I just, I can't get past that. Welcome back, by the way. Dana Lash with you, bottom of the second hour. Grand Platner went on the tampon named network because it's what it sounds like. Ms. Now, get your cotton sticks. Ms. Now, I mean, sorry. It's Friday. Half these people are drunk and they're sitting by the pool. Let's be real.

Okay. Either that or they're in the backyard in a waiting pool. We all know. It ain't no shame. So he went on MS. Ms. Miz now. And first off, let's, oh, gosh, we're here. Yeah, let's start with 14. Let's start with this. So this is, they asked him whether or not he's been asked to drop out. Listen. Have you had any communication with the folks at the DSEC or Democratic operatives who have talked about dropping out, who have talked about other options? Have you received any communication today about that? No, I have not. And I expect that we will not, primarily because what we've built up here, it's robust, it's very strong. Kane's cracking me up over here. Wait, can I ask you, why do you?

Yeah, all of his bigotry is robust. Some robust campaign behavior. Yeah, that's robust campaign material. Yeah, that's right. It's pretty robust. He was asked about the abuse that was detailed by these exes in this New York Times piece. And he was on, gosh, I don't remember his name. He's the guy who looks like that duck-faced kid from Full House.

Remember the kid that liked Stephanie and Stephanie didn't like him? I don't know. Anyway, Ms. Now, I can't remember what his name. I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. Ms. Now, so they're asking Platterner about the abuse that was alleged by his exes in this New York Times piece. Watch.

Listen. No, it did not. There are some allegations in this piece that I just want to be kind of unequivocal about. are simply not true. Anything alleging physicality, anything alleging that I knew what my tattoo was, these are the statements of someone who's politically motivated. He's in a text talking about his little Toten Kampf. What the hell are you talking about, dude?

Oh my gosh. He's really trying to make it. He knew. He's really trying to make it seem like he's very believable. he knew the meaning of it. He knew it according to literally everybody that's ever known him. Because he bragged about it. He's one of those guys that brags forever about stuff.

You can just, you know this because he's done it. He's told people all the time. He said that he told Lindsay Fifeield of the New York Times, who by the way, I don't, I don't know her, but we know a lot of the same people. She's not like an attention-seeking type. person from what I know. And they even when they dated years ago, he called it my toten conf. My toten cough. He said that over and over again and he joked about it being a Nazi

tattoo. He texted about it. This is not. And then he tried covering it up. Well, if you didn't know that it would be offensive later, that none of this, you see how none of this is making sense. None of this is making sense. So he tried and I think the cover up even looks, the cover up is bad. This is cut 18 where he was pressed

about whether or not the physicality part of it. Listen to this. You did not grab her by the wrist. You did not put your hands on her shoulders. You did not push her into a room that you close the door on. She's lying about that is what you're saying. Yes, that is not true. I think it is true. He's really, really

trying to hawk. I just don't think he sounds believable. I mean, for crying out loud, we've got the text, we've got the messages, we mean, we know everything. Don't come out now after we've seen all of this. They're like, no, it's actually not bad. Listen, he was asked, once again, do you have anything else in your closet? This is cut 11.

Once again. I'm not worried about it. I mean, I went, as I've talked to him, I went through my life through a number of years struggling and not exactly. acting under with the best behavior. I've been very, very open about that. And if people would like to continue to drag things up from that time in my life, I'm sure that we are going to see at some point somebody attempt to do exactly that.

Hmm. I'm just saying he, that means there's definitely, there's like probably ladies bodies that are going to drop out of the closet next. I don't know, man. Now, you know why he's not worried. though, cut 13. It's because of stuff like this. Watch. The Democrats abandoned Graham Platner after these messages came out, these sexually explicit messages they sent to women. You know, I haven't waited into that primary. I don't

believe the primary has occurred yet. So I would kind of, you know, again, I don't wait in on that. I haven't waited on that race. I just don't know. Like I haven't wait in that race. Like, I don't know. She is weighed into every single thing on God's Green Earth. And all of a sudden, I just don't know. I just don't know. He's running. Who is it? I don't know her. I don't know her. She's weighed into everything. Yeah, she did the meme, Kame. She legit did it. I don't, mm-mm. I just, I don't know. I'm not. Do you know that her answer is pretty much indistinguishable from every other Democrat that they've approached? But wait a minute, wait a minute. Can we pull up federal? Fetterman's. I need to have, I need Fetterman's. I dropped it in slack. He is one of the funniest people, I think without even trying, because I like no filter Fetterman. He was asked about Platterman and they got him on the steps of the Capitol and you need to, let me know when we have this. This was hysterical because he was approached and they, he was asked, okay, so, you know, what do you think of Grand Platner? And, you know, the way that all of these other lawmakers. were asked. And you saw AOC who just, I just don't know. I don't know. I haven't followed that. All of these other Democrats from Schumer to whenever they ask them, they just, we just haven't been following that, center primary that closely? Sure, you have. But this is Fetterman. Watch. P. Hustle. That's what you go on them? Okay, yeah.

No, that's how he described himself, P. Hustle. I see. I mean, the MSN folks, you love P. Hustle? an MSN now? Because he's awesome, right? Was it the Nazi tattoo? Is it the insults and the kick account? How do you think Democrats should handle this? He's likely to become the Democratic nominee for the Senate next week. Some Democrats will defend that mess. I will not. So it's really up to main voters. So the people on MS now, they want to defend a guy with a Nazi tattoo? Okay, if he wanted defend a guy that describes the American army as absolute trash. Okay, if, if, you know, P. Hustle said

that a Purple Heart awardee is a dumb b-cheer that doesn't deserve to live. Okay. You know, a guy that was probably dropping Picks for a decade on kick. Why would, why is Pee Hustle on on kick. I mean, kick has serious issues, lack of kinds of controls, a lot of underage people. It's really been controversial. Why was he on it for a decade? Why do you think? I mean, that's a question. Who's investigating why? Oh my gosh. I mean, was he sure that he was only talking to, you know, women that are old, old enough? I mean, what was his protocol? How could he be sure? Are you concerned that there's more to drop? Well, he lied to everybody. He said that there wasn't any after his Nazi tattoo situation. And now there's more and more of the

thing. So he's already lied about that. So I assume, you know, it's like they say, for every ranch you see in Texas, there's 50 that you haven't seen. So I'm sure there's plenty, a lot of more ranches in P. Hustle's life. Oh, I mean, so he knew the Nazi symbol was a tattoo, called it as my totem comp. He picked it on purpose. because they were killers, joked about it while dating all these women. All of his exes say that he's talked, like actually, like a jack wagon. The New York Times story delayed by his own lawyers. He actually was trying to call his exes and force them to vouch for him before the story dropped.

Oh, but I mean, the comments, I mean, so the Bangor Daily News and the main monitor have all of his deleted Reddit comments. He, like, didn't care if he was using his photos on that on Reddit, which is insane to me also. But he talked about how he became a communist. He talked about how he claims that black people don't tip. Are we just going to skate over that? That's also part of this. You know this, right? He literally said that on Reddit.

He had a whole thing. And then he said that people who are concerned about being raped shouldn't drink around people that they don't feel comfortable with. Now, if he was a Republican, he'd be dragged for that. But yeah, he said black people don't tip. and he talked about where he was a guest bartender at one point at Tune In on Capitol Hill and he wrote literally quote

it always amazes me how solid this stereotype is dude dude I mean I don't know he supported political violence when people were talking about leaving the U.S. for Trump's immigration policies he goes, quote, fight until you get tired of fighting with words and then fight with signs, fists, and guns.

Direct quote. Wow. I mean, could go on and on and on. Now, he never denied that he said any of this. That's the thing. He told the Portland Press Herald, oh, they were just stupid joke comments. Remind you, they ruined Todd Aiken's life because Todd Aiken, whistling a woman's body can just shut that whole thing down. They ruined him.

They went after, I can't, a couple of other lawmakers for way less than this. But they're not, they're like, oh, well, you know, that's all right. I mean, we can go on. He went off on the police. He, oh, he also said that women should just wear shorts that prevent you from being raped if they're so worried. From the main monitor. Oh, my gosh. What is this? How is this guy in the lead?

Democrats, are you on all of Hunter Biden's crack right now? For what in the world? And, yeah, that he's said, oh, man, he's tried deleting all of it, but the internet is forever. He, I mean, I'm still, there's some I haven't seen. I'm still, oh my gosh, it's so bad. This is bad, guys. By the way, they have, I'm going to say, Kane, I'm putting this in slack. The Maine monitor does not like him.

They literally made like a database where you can browse all of his deleted Reddit comments by everything from military, Maine, firearms, general politics. You can filter it by a subcategory. Kane is dying right now. He's dying. This is so bad, you guys. It's so bad. I mean, it's. Damn, P. Hustle?

Oh, man. Dude, P. Hustle. He calls himself that of all, of all the things. I mean, I, and there's thousands of these comments. Thousands of them. There's literally thousands of them. So he, I mean, oh my gosh, I can't read that. I cannot read that or that, that, that can't read that. Oh, man, I'm still scrolling. Doesn't do it.

Yeah. Don't do it. It's bad. Let's just put it that way. So obsessed with rape, obsessed with trying to be, like, act like he's violent. All the women that he's ever dated who did not seek out to be a part of this narrative at all whatsoever have said, yeah, he's bad. How is he being celebrated? AOC, she's such a tough woman, except she's not. Like, I don't know. Like, I can't speak up for those women at all. Believe all women, except when not. As we move, our partners that will bring you the program. It's the folks over at. Burn a gun. You guys are familiar with Burn a gun. And in fact, you know, I've told you guys a million times before.

So Quint Tarantino criticizes what he says is a flavorless sausage factory in Hollywood. He says he writes in sight and sound that since the pandemic, it's impossible for a new movie to come out that I don't pick to death. He said that Tarrantino is a flavorless sausage factory and that he would rather read a book. He's actually not wrong. He also said that the 80s were pretty bad for films, but he was able to forgive 80s movies because he liked going to the movies.

However, he says that the entire concept of what a movie is now is inclined to inspire contempt in him rather than generosity. He's not really long. Most films are just, they just blow out loud. And then you have films of indie producers, like the backroom's film that's out, that seems like big Hollywood hates. They're like doxing this guy now. That's insane. They're doxing this guy because he took on Hollywood and made a better film that was actually more original. The flesh-eating screw worm has returned cane, and it's threatening all the cattle.

This is the case of the, it's the New World Screwworm, and they confirmed it in a three-week. old calf in La Pryor, Texas, near the border. Apparently, it's in Mexico. It's a flesh-eating parasite. We've kept it out of livestock for decades, but now it was in a calf. And the fly larvae feed exclusively on the licking tissue of warm-blooded animals. Now, it's not capable of affecting, it says, humans and pets. I don't trust anything.

So they say it doesn't pose a food safety threat, but a wider outbreak could actually still be. I mean, you're looking at billions of dollars and beef prices and all of the that stuff. So, you know, we'll kind of see on that. Also, moving on, we've got yeah, this monkey pox. Okay, somebody tried a foreign

national who was working at the National Institute of Health under, yeah, under Anthony Fauci, got charged with trying to smuggle monkey pox into the United States and lying about it. This

story, you what? Researchers with NIH at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory, Vincent Munster and Claude Quay, they were trying to smuggle monkeypox. Isn't, that's an STD, basically. I mean, not basically, it is an STD. There's one way you get the monkey pox and so if you're a monkeying around in the back door, you know, I'm just saying that's what, that's what it is. I said it very gently.

It's very, said it very delicately. But they said that one guy's from the Netherlands, And Zaza, he's based in what the other guys from Cameroon. So both were accused, or both were apparently working with emerging viral pathogens. So they bring this grue worm in too? Probably. I mean, it kind of makes you wonder now, right? Stick with us.

So like some of these lefty like MS now, whatever pundancy, oh, it's a clear double standard at play with the Platner reporting because he's an anti-Zionist and et cetera. Um, what?

What? What is everything? Not everything has to be about the Jews, you freaks. Good night. I can't with these people, man. I can't. I'm done with it. I almost want Congress to come back.

Can you believe it? Almost. Almost. They'll fly over the beautiful reflecting pool now, which looks lovely. I don't know if you guys have seen any of the recent photos of it, but it's actually blue and cane. The reflecting pool, get this.

It reflects. What the hell? What? I thought it was just supposed to be dirty duck poop water. But no. It actually, the reflecting pole looks nice now. If you've seen it, it's beautiful, and it looks clean. And apparently they have all of this stuff in place to keep the water clean and to reduce the animal waste, et cetera.

But it, I mean, the water's in it and it's flowing in. And so it looks really nice. I mean, it actually reflects and it looks pretty. It doesn't look green and icky. So nice. I look forward to seeing it the next time I'm in D.C., which I try not to be in D.C. a lot. But, you know, I'll look forward to seeing it. And all of, notice how all the complaints about it have gone away. Now that they see, now that the left sees how nice it is, they're, they, now they can't, they can't complain anymore. What are they going to complain about? Yeah, they can't complain anymore. Well, I mean, you know, but it looks so much nicer. How would you look at, how can you look at what it was before and say, no, we should have kept it that way leaking out 17,000 gallons. What was it a day or week? I can't remember. No, it was definitely thousands, hundreds of thousands of gallons a week.

Crazy. All right, today in stupidity cane. All right, this happened in Arlington County, Virginia. There's a Pride Month proclamation going on, and there was this they, she, psychotherapist, romance, novelist person speaking there. And this is what she had to say. Listen to this. She's saying, both me and my staff have personally had to help transqueer. youth in this county who are facing bullying and discrimination in Arlington public schools. Last week, my son at Campbell got the sex ed talk in health class and was told children only can come from men and women. No queer representation, no IVF representation. What? Children can only come from men and women?

As opposed to where else? She's anti-science, apparently. Yeah, I guess you hate science. Folks, that does it for us this week. Make sure you find us over in Substact, Chapter and Verse. Facebook, YouTube, like and I will be back with you on Monday, folks.
