My question is as follows, what are you going to do to help the middle class so that the cost of living does not destroy us? Thank you for the question. And your point, listen, I know prices are too high still. You know prices are too high still, and we have to deal with it. Here's how I feel about it. Again, you've heard my story. I come from the working class. I'm never going to forget where I come from.

And part of what we have to do is build what I call an opportunity economy, where people have the opportunity, like you have described for you to be able to work hard and your five daughters, have an opportunity to then do what they and what you aspire for them to be able to do. Without having to worry about just getting by, I want you to be able to get ahead. So here's my plan. It includes what we need to do to bring down the cost of, for example, groceries. one of the issues I'm going to be taking on is price gouging. My question is as follows. It's price gouging is not, gosh, I'm so tired of this stuff. I'm so tired of it.

Price gouging isn't an issue. Do you see that she's trying to frame inflation as, well, it's really not a real thing. It's not anything that we did. It's all just because of price gouging. That's what she's trying to argue as a way to absolve herself of, any responsibility that she may have with this. I mean, it's, and she also said, well, my planning and the way that she had put it and the way that she wrote about it on Twitter and on her website when she was repurposing Joe Biden's stuff. She tries to act like Biden wasn't a part

of it. She wants to claim it, but then she also doesn't want to claim like any of the responsibility for it. It's the weirdest thing in the world. It really is. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you at the top of this first hour. Her town hall last night, she was ridiculed for it. They were saying that she had a teleprompter, but the guy over at Univision was saying that she didn't have a teleprompter. But do we have like any video shots of the stage? Because I swear it looks like there was a teleprompter.

I mean, I know what teleprompters look like, and it looks like there was one up there. The only thing I could think of is that maybe they used it for like the host? Is that a possibility? You know, where like the, like the person who was hosting it had to use it as a way to be like, okay, and then we'll be right back and all that stuff. I don't know. But this is, again, they're part of their media blitz, which they are continuing with. And it is just, I don't know if it's working, really. I don't think, I mean, it doesn't seem to be helping her in the polls. there's a lot of discussion as to whether or not she's even able.

I mean, there's a lot of discussion about her, I mean, really just kind of falling apart momentum-wise. And I've got some evidence to that, which we're going to get into. So, man, but I didn't watch this town hall last night because I got to, I have to take a break from it or I'm going to break my legs off and stab myself through the throat with my femur. Yeah, it's pretty hardcore. When you simmer in it and you live in it 24-7, you've got to take a break. You have to. Because when it's this stupid, when it's this stupid, and it is. So welcome, again, top of this first hour, the who boy, this town hall. I just, like I said, I don't know how beneficial this is for her. She's making a play, obviously, for Hispanic voters. And they're doing really poorly with Hispanic. voters, I might add the Harris, Walls Harris campaign. And not doing well with Hispanic voters, not doing well with, the only people they're doing well with are suburban white women and younger voters. You know, so take from that what, you know, what it is. Those are the only people that they

seem to be doing well with, uh, sort of. And the, they're counting on younger voters. This is why you see like this, this effort to get TikTok and all this stuff. They're, they're depending on these younger voters to help them out in some of these these battleground states. So I don't know. It's just, but it, but it continues. And you had Tim Wals who was speaking with Michael Strayan. And I actually thought that he, Strayan, Not Wals, did a decent job asking questions and pushing back on some of the stuff and asking him about his record and asking him about some of the things that he had said previously. It was actually, you know, kind of interesting. Audio Somebody 31, though, it, I don't think this helps them. Listen. They were saying that, hey,

either policy that Kamala Harris could have done three years ago when she was in the White House with President Biden, and she never did. What do you say to people who bring that up? Well, Donald Trump had four years to do it if you're going to talk about that. And what the point is, you need a partner in Congress. You've seen these. We've seen different bills that are ready to pass. And Donald Trump makes sure he steps in. We saw it around immigration, a bipartisan bill, widely respected, wanting to make a difference in this, holding true to our values, securing the border. Donald Trump steps in and says, look, that's going to hurt my political future. Let's not make it happen. But Donald Trump isn't president. I mean, that's such a weird

answer. It's such a really weird answer. He's not president, though. I mean, he's not, um, gosh, I don't think that this helps them. I don't think that it helps them at all. I don't think that the answers that they gave are in any way illuminating. I don't think that it's helping people make up their mind because all it does is they seem to just be passing the buck. But he was, audio sound by 27, he was asked about lying about his record, Wals was. And again, this is Michael Stray in this ABC interview. Listen.

Well, I think it's about building teams, about bringing diverse folks in, finding where they're skills work. I feel like I'm on a championship team with Vice President Harris, but it's that idea of molding, shaping, providing guidance, but understanding that you're just a piece of it. The folks, the players got to play. I always said, you've got to put them in a position to be successful. Yeah, well, she hasn't won anything. You have to win elections in order to be on championship teams. Can we just have November already? I just want to go and eat turkey and go into a turkey coma, because I mean to try to talk seriously about the Democrat campaign is mind-numbing. Not to complain because I know you guys all have your issues.

I could not imagine. I think the only worst job you could have is maybe as her advisor, having to advise her because she's such a train wreck. It's amazing to me that she's gotten this far in the campaign. It's amazing to me that they picked her to begin with. And I don't, I actually kind of believe one of the answers that she gave in talking about Tim Walls, that she selected him as her running mate because only she, someone with zero political acumen would choose somebody like him in order as her VP. So this is, that's, I don't think it's going to move anything. So they're continuing their media blitz.

At least she stopped picking fights with Ron DeSantis down in Florida, right? I mean, oh wait, no, audio sound bite nine. She didn't. What am I talking about? Geez, kill me now. I do think that the crisis that we have just experienced and the ongoing effects of it because of these hurricanes are yet another example of the importance of having leadership

at a moment of crisis who understands their role in responsibility. Is she describing DeSantis and not herself? I'm just trying to understand this one. Because you didn't, she wasn't describing herself in any of this. Just saying, just saying. But she ended up, she keeps going with it. Oh, she had a Spanish accent, too, C-S-A-Pa-Podway. Audio sound like 8.

Well, first of all, thank you for the question. I hope your family is okay and your home is okay. What? Are you serious? Why is she doing this? Kane, you're half Hispanic. Is it hard when I say okay? But if I say okay, you understand it better?

Yeah, no. That's how that works, though, right? No. Why are you being racist? Why are you being racist? against the woman of color. It makes me laugh out loud to hear her do that. Okay.

I noticed her doing that and I thought, is she doing that because it's a Hispanic audience? It sounds like she's, I don't know. In the meantime, Trump's in Aurora, Colorado today. And he's got an event there. And Barack Obama had an event last night where he took credit for the economy under Trump. I have somebody for not making it up.

and the reason some people think I don't know I remember that economy when he first came in being pretty good yeah it was pretty good because it was my economy we had 75

straight months of job growth that I handed over to him it wasn't something he did I had spent eight years cleaning up the mess that the Republicans had left me the last time so just in case everybody

has a hazy memory gosh he grade He didn't do nothing. So, wait, we made it better. Is he actually trying to say that he's got, that Barack Obama created the economy, that we enjoyed, that the tax cuts that, right, right? People forget that gas prices were extremely high

during the Obama administration. Well, and they forget that our energy output, too, our ability to be able to subsist on what we were able to extract. here domestically or to send out to the world market was greatly diminished. And in fact, the only reason that it picked up was because of privately leased land that they then tried to, you know, retcon and take credit for. No, it didn't work. No, they brought, you know it's bad when they bring up Barack Obama. You know it's bad when they bring up Barack Obama and he played every identity card he could. He went after, well, he's getting a lot of criticism for

audio somebody too, because he was basically telling black men that they have a problem if they're not voting for the black woman. Oh, boy. Makes me think. I'm speaking to men directly. Part of it makes me make that, well, you deserve feeling the idea of a man named woman's present. And you're coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for it. The women in our lives have been getting our backs this entire time. and working and having our backs. And when we get in trouble, and the system's not working for us, they're the ones who we're out there, marching and protesting.

So that's kind of what Joe Biden said. You're not, hey, man, you ain't black if you're not voting for me. Wow. To play that card. Or, hey, you're sexist if you're not voting for a woman. It's because you're a sexist man. To play that card. Coming up, I'm going to show you the cringiest ad that's ever been cringed.

And it makes me want to burn everything down. It is the worst ad I have ever seen in my life. And I've seen some really bad ads. We can't make fun of it enough. I've spent all morning doing it, in fact. And I'm just wondering who was in charge of casting and who tried to put the gay guy on the back of the truck as a manly man? Like, come on.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Let's see here. First and foremost, apologies.

I got this a little frozen a little bit. So this, and we're going to actually come back when we come back after headlines. I got a whole bunch of polling to go over with you. This is some latest stuff. A TD Bank was fined $3 billion for failing to monitor money laundering from fentanyl, terrorism, inhuman trafficking. I would just think that all of those are crimes anyway,

so you're just not what you're not monitoring the money. money laundered for crime. It's all crime. They said that from fentanyl to narcotics trafficking, terrorist financing, and human trafficking, their chronic fails provided blah, blah, blah, don't care because none of us are affected by this. Are we affected by this?

I don't give a rat's ass. Let's see, hackers. Now, this is interesting because I saw this yesterday. You guys know the Wave Act machine? Yeah, everybody knows that because that's how we always get our receipts, right? Because whenever Democrats try to scrub stuff, whenever they try to hide things,

hackers claimed a catastrophic internet archive attack. And of course it was a bunch of pro Hamas goat lovers. The hacktivist movement has launched a, it was a pro Hamas hacktivist movement that decided to launch a catastrophic cyber attack revealing the details of 31 million people compromising their email addresses, screen names. It was in Count on X that claimed responsibility.

And of course it had to do with Hamas, blah, blah, blah. and the Wayback Machine was inaccessible on and off. So I've never heard that happening with the Wayback Machine. That's the Internet's archive, if you don't know what that means. Like they take screenshots. They have like screenshots of like every webpage ever provided that there was like something that trailed it, you know, when on a particular date for something that you're looking for specifically. So that was interesting.

These Market Watch is trying to say groceries are more affordable. And I'm pretty sure that this was written by some. platinum extension Karen who sits into New York Fifth Avenue office and only has like people bring her groceries from Instacart. Pretty sure she has no idea what's happening.

Because I mean, I've literally noticed this. I've noticed, in fact, I've noticed several of the recipes that I make. And it's not that they're bougie. It's like two and a half almost three times more than what it was. Like I, I to, and look, when you grow up poor in a rural part of the country as I have

done, unlike Kamala Harris, who is literally a privileged princess, who doesn't know what struggle or middle class is, when you've grown up in that area and you've come from nothing and you've learned how to make the most with food and recipes and everything else, you really pay attention to this stuff and you don't go out and get like the bougiest things, right? You still have that mentality. I mean, this is, so this, I've noticed this for me, for basic brand, off brand stuff. It's like two and a half to three times more. So this idea that they're trying to be. trying to sell us that it has an increase, step off, meet the business end of a broom in an unflattering way because that's a complete lie. It's an absolute lie and everybody knows it.

We all know it. You guys know how much your pain? Why do they, this aggravates me. They try to lie about it like this. Let's see. And Marshawn Lynch is hinting at a run for Oakland mayor. Hmm. Interesting. Marshaun Lynch, Mayor Lynch. Former Super Bowl champ, he thinks he's looking at mayor. Look at that. Stick with us. Life can take a toll on our bodies. There's no way around it. And whether it's just sitting for hours on end at your computer or if you're working a physical job, over time, your body pays the price. There is, however, an effective way to turn back the clock on pain.

Relief factor. Developed by doctors, relief factor helps support your body's response to inflammation. And the difference, instead of just masking pain, relief factor helps eliminate it for good and it's 100% drug-free. My husband, Chris, has taken relief factor with incredible results. So if the pains that come with living a full life are affecting you, do as many others have done and turn back the clock on pain with Relief Factor. Their three-week quick start is just 1995. That's less than a dollar a day. And when you feel good, it's amazing how much more you get out of life.

Visit Relieffactor.com or call 1-800 for relief. That's 1-800, the number four relief. Try it for only 1995 and turn back the clock on pain with Relief Factor. relief factor.com. If you haven't learned your lesson yet, never rely on the federal government. After another FEMA fallout, while my Yorkers shopped at designer stores, at some point we need to eliminate it and outsource it to the private sector while using the military like we did for Katrina.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this first hour. I'm going to apologize in advance what I'm about to do to y'all.

I had to watch this. Nope, don't you dare. Sit down. Sit down. I see you getting ready to get up off from your desk. Like, I'm just going to go ahead and duck. Sit down. You coffee can wait.

You're going to listen. You're going to watch this because this is horrible. So we know that Harris, has the Harris, Harry Walls campaign. They've been trying to buy influencers. They've been putting these ads out on TikTok, all this other stuff. I think I've seen it. I think, guys, I found the worst ad of the political cycle.

I think I found it. It's, well, we're going to play it for you. And then we're going to dissect because it's a bunch of dudes. They, you know, they're very, it's very important. They're trying to get the men's vote. The dudes vote. the dude bros vote. And, well, this is the ad they think is going to do that trick.

I need you to watch this. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man, man, man, man, man. And I'm man enough. I'm man enough to enjoy a barrel-proof bourbon. Neat. Man enough to cook my steak rare.

Man enough to deadlift 500, then braid the shit out of my daughter's hair. You think I'm afraid to rebuild a carburetor? I eat carburetors for breakfast. I ain't afraid of bears. That's what bear hugs are for. I'll tell you another thing I sure is shit I'm not afraid of women. I'm not afraid of women. I'm not afraid of women. They want to control their bodies? I say go for it.

They want to use Ivy after start a family? I'm not afraid of families. They want to be childless cat ladies. Have all the cats you want. Woman wants to be president? Well, I hope she has the guts to look me right in the eye and accept my full-throated endorsement. Because I'm man enough to support them. Man enough to know what kind of donuts have like. Man enough to admit I'm lost even when I refuse to ask for directions. Man enough to not ban young women from reading little women. Or one of those pants books that the sisters like.

I'm man enough to raw dog a flight. It sucked. Not worth it. I'm man enough to be emotional in front of my wife. In front of my kids. In front of my horse. I'm man enough to tell you that I cry at love actually. Goodwill hunting. What side story?

That and predator. And I'm sick of so-called men, domineering, belittling, and controlling women just so they can feel more powerful. That's not how my mama raised me. I love women. I love women who support their families. Women who decide not to have families.

Women who take charge. And I'm man enough to help them win. Wow. So where to start with this one, kids? So if we can do Juan, I'm sorry to put this up on you. Poor Juan. If we can do a side by side. We're just going to pause and go through these gents.

Because these all were, this is a real ad. This is, when I first saw it, if I had not been told and I had not known that it was a real ad, I would think that it was fake, right? I would think that it was a fake ad. Let's look at this guy right here. Twiggy McTwig stick. So my grandfather was a rancher. My grandfather was mussely.

He was 100% muscle. He was shredded wheat. This guy, well, his shirt's blocking his arm, but he looks like, you know, have you ever heard like, oh, well, I guess they skipped leg day? He skipped all of it day forever. and he's sitting there and he goes in my horse and he looks at the horse and the horse is out of frame and that you can hear the horse like you know kind of breathe that's not his horse this guy looks totally uncomfortable standing there and why is he so meat why is he so bitchy why is he so he this guy's mad this guy's a puppy kicker you know he is then we have the um can we get the guy

who eats carburetors for breakfast real quick i think uh i mean i oh no stop at this guy Oh, no, no, wait, Juan. Go back, go back, go back. Let's go to this queen on the truck. Oh, no. This guy, who? Men, men out there. Who among you sits like this? Who among you sits like this?

I do when I have a pain in that upper thigh area on the right? No, you don't. Shut up. If I have a little cramp. Steve, you don't sit like, you can't even see it. If I have a little cramp. Juan doesn't sit like this. Like I'll be outhold.

This is like a pageant pose. I'll be like, oh, my cramp. He looks like an arrested. development character. He's Buster. This is Buster from Arrested Development. I like women. I'm sure you do, Francis. I'm sure you do. Yes, and I have a deep-throated support of women. He actually said that phrase. Are they trolling us at this point? Language. Are they trolling us at this point? And then at one point, I kid you not, I'm not afraid of bears. He said that. He says it. I bet you Lauren either, Slick.

Oh my gosh. I mean, the fact that he's this pose, this pageant pose on the edge of the truck like this, man alive. Nobody believes. They can't even define women, but nobody believes this dude. But, Kane, for real. Like I said, I mean, if I had a cramp on my right upper thigh, that's how I'd. Or if you were gay. I was holding.

You'd sit like this. I'd be like, wow, my cramp is really. In fact, there are gay men, I know who. don't even sit like this. That's, that's, nobody sits like this. If you have a penis, you don't sit like this. Okay, can we,

let's go to the carburetor, dude. Well, we got, we got this guy who, I guess he's channeling DMX. Then we got this guy, I eat carbureators for breakfast. It made me think of Happy Gilmore. When you had that one dude, he was like, I eat pieces of blink like you for breakfast.

And Happy Gilmore's like, you eat pieces of blank for breakfast. What's wrong with you? This guy, I eat carburetors for breakfast. for breakfast. Wrong type of carb lunchbox. That's not what we're talking about. Okay? Wrong type of carb. Oh my gosh. And then we got who's the guy who looks like they pulled him out from under a bridge? He looks like he would sell bridge denim to Frank and always sunny in Philadelphia. Got the queen. We got this guy who's, I don't know. Oh, here we are. If we can get a wider shot

of him one, and I don't care if you roll it on the side there. So this guy, I want you to notice his shirt. The first thing I noticed, aside from the fact that this guy was working on a BMW, is he has a super clean, brand new workbench. Looks like any never been used.

And his sleeves look professionally distressed. And if we can't get a wider shot of him, you'll notice something really interesting about his arms. Because his arms, in his you know, that he has in this

professionally distressed shirt. His arms, well, there's a raging farmer's tan that he has. Juan's pulling it up. I don't care if it's side by side, Juan, we can let the people see how the sausage is made. It's all right. They like looking at these fools. It's okay. This guy has the craziest farmer's tan ever. When you wear buttoned down shirts and you rip the sleeves off of them. Look at his farmer's tan. This man does not wear a shirt like that often, Cain, does he? No, he does not. And we can put this side by side. Okay, yes, keep it out there. This dude, the raging farmer's tan, this dude is not used to wearing these shirts. And it's professionally deserve. Look how clean and pressed it is. Look how press that shirt is. You all know, this man does

not dress like this. This man is like a mall Santa and he goes home to his house in the valley, you know, after a long day. This man is not, and he's not working on a Harley. He's not working on an Indian. Yeah, what is that? Isn't that a BMW? Or a little, yeah.

Yeah, it isn't it? Okay. Well, who among you with your sleeves ripped off has one of them? I mean, we have bikers in my family. None of them. It's all Harley or Indian. That's all it is.

And can we note one of the, the things that I've noticed a lot of you out there, all of the men immediately were talking about his, quote, clean pine workbench, an inordinate amount of you. We're very upset with us. Look at that. Look how clean that pine. I mean, it is like freshly fall. It's like freshly shorn pine, whatever you want to call it, felled, freshly felled pine. Freshly milled. And this guy, his farmer's tan, he's not used to that shirt. He's working on a boogey bike. I got all the tools in that in the back. I don't know who keeps their garage act clean psychos. And then the clean pine workbench. This dude, this cat right here. None of these people

are real. And by the way, I also thought that they couldn't define what a woman is. Oh, but man, this ad is unbelievable. It is unbelievable. I'm not afraid of women. You can't even define them. Yeah, that's, that's, no. I'm not afraid of bears. I bet, slick. But they can't define what women are. They actually thought this is going to work. They put this ad out because they're trying to go for dudes. I don't know any dude who would look at this and I'd see themselves. The guy at the fen, this lunchbox, what did he say? I like a good whatever. Shut up. Nobody cares. The only guy who's somewhat believable is the guy on the workbench because he's got, or the, the bench because he's got muscles. This dude. This is the only dude that's somewhat believable because he actually

looks like his body type matches the activity in which he is pictured. But I also don't believe that that's his garage because nobody has a great. garage that clean unless they're psychos. Nobody. I don't believe you. So, I am just shocked. Just shocked at this.

Because it's so bad. The whole premise is based on assuming men are scared of women. Look at all these virgins. Nobody is going to relate to them. All of them. Even that old man. All of them. No one's going to relate to this.

Unfortunately. That guy may be an excuse. For the Kamala campaign. Yeah. I mean, the guy on the truck, though, who's posing, like, I mean, this pageant queen right here. He might have a cramp. I'm just saying he could have a cramp. He doesn't have a cramp. He sat like that the whole ad, Kane.

The whole ad, he sits like this. He looks nervous. He looks like he's like a customer of Matthew Shepard. He's all tweaked out on meth. That's what he looks like. Could he have a bullet wound right there? He's just holding pressure on it? I've got theories.

It's probably because he's gay. Actually, again, I will say. I don't know gay dudes who sit like this. And who are sloppy like that. Look at his shirt how sloppy it is. And he's got mobs. I mean, don't wear a fitted shirt like that, dude. Or like at least wear a little hat shield.

You know, if you're going to, only the ladies are going to understand that reference. And that's all right. But this is the ad they came out with because they're trying to get the gents. They're trying to get the men. And it's all, as Kane said, based upon this premise that men are scared of women. And that's why they're not voting for Kamala Harris. It can't be that she's completely inadequate as a candidate. It can't believe that she's completely unaccomplished.

No, it has to be because men are afraid of her. Now, when you consider that logic, mull over the inherent sexism of it. Oh, no, it's not because of any shortcomings on her side. The deficiency is on their side because they're men. So they're being judged as being afraid because they're men, which is by itself sexist. So who's the real sexist here? Where is the real sexism? I mean, just because I think that you're a raging Karen and that you shouldn't be in charge of a household, much less the United States government, it doesn't mean that I dislike you. I'm a woman. I dislike Kamala Harris for the exact same reason that most dudes do because she is completely unaccomplished and annoying. It's not because I don't like my own sex. It's because I don't like it when someone who is unaccomplished and is a ladder climber and wants the job title without the work.

Nobody likes that. We're scared of her incompetence. We're scared of how she might mark us all in a third world war. We're scared of her tanking the economy. But we're not scared of her because she's got a vagina. Callie. By the way, every time IDF blows up, Hamas, those are the virgins they meet in heaven.

I remember buying that. I remember the first time I went in the storm right after Malia was born. I was like, what? That's how much diapers cost? I remember changing diapers.

You think Donald Trump ever changed the diaper? Yeah. I almost said that, but I decided I shouldn't say it. I mean, I don't get it. Is that supposed to be funny? Oh, made a joke about diapers. We live in the super. stupidest time ever. Everything is so stupid.

The adults are back in the room, Dana. I mean, it's, you know, dignity's back in the White House or whatever. Dignity. Hunter Biden, dignity. It's okay. Do you think that Donald Trump ever changed the diaper? What does that matter? Who lowers my taxes? I don't care if he's it. Look, you lower my taxes, you stay off my guns and you stop, like, trying to de-legitimize guns as like a serious Republican issue on the platform. I don't care if you ever look at a diaper.

I really don't care. I don't even care if you can pronounce diaper. Do it like Alec Baldwin's wife. How you say cucumber? How you say diaper? Do it like that. I don't care. Don't care.

What does that matter? I love when Democrats try to have a pour off. Or an every man off. No, we're just like you. Look, we're middle class. We one time had fries at McDonald's. You think Trump had fries? You think Trump ever had fries at McDonald's? No.

Or Kamala Harris. I used to fry fries. No, you didn't, girl. You never fried fries ever in your life. You literally lived in one of the busiest neighborhoods in Northern California. Stop. Your parents were PhDs. They worked at Ivy League universities. Girl, you were a princess. You went to a super expensive primary school. Like a lot of us were eating government cheese. Shut up. No. By the way, government cheese isn't bad. I'm just going to go on record and say it. Maybe it's just you romanticize things when you're older and you look back on your youth and you're like, it wasn't that bad. No, I don't know, maybe it was, but I don't think it was.

Government Chief is pretty good, right? No one says anything. Guess that's the poorest. It's okay. It's all right. But notice how they do this. They always, they try to act like they, look, we're poor just like you. I'm surprised.

Honestly, I don't, why am I saying this? Because it's going to happen. I want it to actually happen. How much you want to buy? They're going to do like a photo op at Walmart. Dude. They're going to do a photo op at Wally World at Walmart. They'll do it in front of the store on a hay bale with pumpkins.

Walls goes to Walmart. Oh, I get it? It's going to happen. That's the level of thought that is in this political cycle with them right now. They're going to do it. I honestly don't believe Kamala Hurstap's the ever-step foot in a Walmart. Do they even have them in some of these? did they even have Walmarts in some of those fancy neighborhoods in California?

Like she grew up by, didn't she grow up by Berkeley? Did they even have a Walmart up there? Can they even say it? Or does their West Coast blue bloodedness prevent their mouths from making the vowels together like that? I'm curious. I don't know. I just, it's funny. It's really funny to me.

So we'll see. I wouldn't doubt. I mean, you saw it. they did trying to just get dudes, you know. I wouldn't doubt that they're going to, they'd try to do something like this too so they can, they can stunt for the working class. We got a lot more on the way. Stick with a second hour coming up.

You can watch the radio show on Channel 347 Direct TV. If you're watching it, then you probably are watching it on X or Channel 347 DirecTV. I mean, my gosh, it's obvious, right? Friday. Yay. If you see this Vogue cover? Can we talk about this for a second? Can we talk about this? Yeah. That Wyn will throw it up there. The Vogue cover is, wow. And the story behind it, Kamala Harris decided, well, Vogue decided to help her out with a campaign contribution.

And she was airbrushed within an inch of, well, she looks like Marzapan. She looks like fond. They even airbrushed her hands. And she's on the cover of Vogue in a very unnatural pose. And she's pursing her lips together, which isn't entirely flattering. And I don't know why they thought that that would be the flattering thing. I don't know. But this is, they have, they have her up there and they get, of course, you know, they were going to do this.

All planned. This is part of their media blitz, right? And it looks like they photoshopped her head on that body. It looks very photoshopped. Uh, to the point where, like her, the proportion of her hand. and her forearm is just really odd compared to on her left, so it's your right, her left. It looks odd, right? So her head looks like it's Photoshopped on.

The, it looks super important. It looks weird. This is what, what Vogue says. Only rarely are individuals summoned for acts of national rescue. But in July, Vice President Kamala Harris received one of those calls. Like summoned like a demon? Like, and they, I mean, it's just like they did. It's an in-kind campaign contribution.

They photoshopped her so crazy. It's so crazy. And this was, they put her on the cover back in 2021 during the inauguration. Remember when she was wearing her converse? That was a bad cover. her her her this cover is awkward because of the photoshopping the color choice is better but the the one that she was on back in 2021 was one of the worst vogue covers i've ever seen it just looks she looked like washed out the contrast was gone it was horrible this photo it's like

they spent too much time photoshopping her uh i i like who did they let loose with the blur tool i'm just curious they've spent way too much time photoshopping her and it just looks awkward but she's on the cover of vogue now kane what were you you telling me about when this photo was taken? When was this photo taken? This photo was, she had the shoot on October 7th, right? So the anniversary of, so the vice president of the United States was doing a Vogue photo shoot on the one-year anniversary of the Hamas terror attack. Okay. In addition to, that's the start of her attack on DeSantis as though he was ignoring her calls. So while she's attacking DeSantis over the hurricane and while everyone is acknowledging, you know, going through

and remembering Hamas's terror attack on October 7th, she was doing this. Priorities. It seems too little too late, doesn't it? Why weren't they, why weren't they doing this with the media back in July? I mean, I know that they wanted to limit her exposure because every time she answers questions, it's a disaster without exception. But, you know, if you had any kind of talent or then you wouldn't you have gotten better? Wouldn't you be wouldn't you like train your candidate to be better? Apparently they didn't do that or she's just incapable of getting of getting better at doing this. Really wild though.

This is like one of the worst covers I've ever seen. It's really bad. It's bad. It's just too photoshopped and it looks fake and her head looks weird. It's like they it took a picture of her body from one photo and took a picture of her head from another photo and then superimposed it, right? I don't know. it's just odd. But this is, they, people are saying her, the lighting's weird.

Someone asked if it was AI. But yeah, she's got her nice little Vogue cover there, getting ready. They've never, they've, Vogue never gave like Melania Trump a Vogue cover. I don't think they've ever given any Republican woman a Vogue cover. But it was a very last minute thing. And you can tell it looks last minute. And to me, I think that this, the, because apparently this process for Vogue was fast-tracked is what's being said it's what

what's being reported so that to me signals that she her campaigns in a desperate position Annie Leibovitz took this at her uh VP residents in D.C. And they even said that it was on October 7th and she's you know they tell what she's I mean that's wow. And they're there's dolling her up and having her pose like she's a fashion icon on October 7th. I mean out of all the I I mean, that's just wild. So I, uh, they also have a picture of Cheney with her and their pantsuits. I don't know. And, um, I don't think anybody, they're trying to pretend that she's, oh, she's so fashionable.

Fashionable. No one, no, let's, let's be real. No one thinks that commonwealth is a fashion icon. No one thinks that. No one thinks that any person in politics is a fashion icon. I think Kirsten Cinema with her quirky style, like came close to being fashion interesting, but do have, icon. is such, I mean, are we going to just completely ignore the meaning of words?

It's nothing, none of this is iconic. I mean, it's Pantsuit City, come on. But this was a fast-tracked piece because she's in trouble. She's in trouble. With polling, she's, it's not going so well for her. And I don't know if you've seen, there was the couple here, there was, well, I sent some stuff out on pulling this up on your newsletter. get a substack over at chapter and verse, the newsletter that goes out regularly. And the Quinepiac had a

poll. It came out yesterday where it's showing that even though she is leading with suburban voters, there are losing men. There's cracks in the blue wall. She's struggling with the rust belt. She's struggling with the working class voters. Pennsylvania, Democrats are starting to struggle. They're tied in five of the seven battlegrounds and looking at some of the latest with

the electoral college, etc. They're tied in a number of these battleground states. And every single time she does any kind of media, she takes a hit in the polls. Like every time.

and it's just not going, it's not going well for her. This is, I mean, it's not, it's, Trump is not so far in the lead that people need to exhale because he is not behind, he is not above or beyond the margin of error in any of these were there that close. So this is not a moment of relaxation for the Trump campaign. It's not, uh, exhale, look, the stress is gone. It's not that at all. And a lot of these surveys, too, you have to remember, nobody really is going to know what

what's going on until the night of the election. And a lot of the polling that is coming out right now is just about is designed to craft a narrative for to be used as a tool for turnout. Like there was one poll that came. It's not very, it's not a very good survey. It was 1,000 voters. And it is an active vote survey. And it showed Trump having a 1.2% lead over Harris. and a seven point change, but it's like a margin of error of almost four, and it's a small sample, and it's oversampled Republicans. It's not a good survey. But this is one that comes out. One of the reasons I tell you that, I'm not trying to burst people's bubbles, but I cannot tell you, having done this in a number of states and a number of elections for over 10 years, going on 20 years

now, every single time that Republicans think they're ahead or that they think they're doing well, doesn't matter if it's in Texas or Missouri or South Carolina or Florida or wherever, they kind of like ease back a little bit every single time. Oh, well, we can relax a little bit. We have some breathing room. That's how it's viewed every single time. That's why I always say Democrats really are not the biggest threat to Republicans. It's Republicans that are the biggest threat to Republicans. And I, that's why I think that with some of this stuff, you can't, you got to be careful with these surveys because they're going to try every single election cycle to figure out a new way to use this information to manipulate you. And if they can get you to think

that you got it in the bag and maybe you don't need to work as hard to get out the vote, well, then all the better for them, right? So you got to pay attention to stuff like this. I get really aggravated at some Republicans who are like, you know, stop telling me about these bad polls for Trump or how close it is. Oh, okay. So you want Kamala Harris to win. Because when I hear people who say that, I immediately write you off as a leftist stooge and I want nothing else to do with you. You're dead to me forever. I cannot deal with it. I had a friend. who was a little aggravated with me, who had said, you know, I don't know why you keep looking at these polls,

as opposed to what? So wait, you want me to lie to you and tell you that everything is great so that you can sit back on your ass and not work so hard to get out the vote? Is that where you're talking? Get out. Go to the Democrat side. I told my friend, I was like, don't message me again. I was done.

I'm like, it's too aggravating. I'm done with it. It's so stupid. Don't be purposely stupid. It's, I want to win, and I need people to understand that, for whatever reason, it's a phenomenon with Republicans. And I don't, with Democrats, it's like the opposite. When they feel like it's really close, then they just want to grind harder.

But Republicans look at it like, oh, we got some breathing room. You don't. You don't telling you. Pennsylvania is interesting. There's a lot of people. I think Scott Pressler's done really good work there. And some of the other individual activists have done work there, really good work. But they said that it's a lot of Gen X voters in Pennsylvania that have mobilized.

in Trump's favor. Huh. Gen X. Look at that. Isn't that not interesting? Gen X is going to save the world. Gen X, the forgotten generation. In the meantime, Kamala Harris has agreed to A CNN Town Hall.

She needs a town hall, says Politico. She wants a town hall on October 23rd. She's participating in it. They've tried to get, I think she wanted a debate with Trump. She needs it. and they said that CNN offered Trump a town hall. His campaign hasn't immediately responded. I don't really think he needs it.

If he's not taking the offers for town halls and debates, to me, that says that their internal numbers show him doing better. And they don't want to risk it because I'll be real with you, his debate with Kamala was not good. It was like one of his poorest performing debates. It was because he took all the bait. He didn't have the strength of discipline

to not take the bait and not get ticked off. And he was, I mean, he, neither of them won, but he didn't win it. Or neither of them, I mean, neither of them really won it. Neither of them really lost it. And she stayed on point to, her whole goal was to tweak him. He can't do that again. And if he can't have the strength of discipline, he needs to not do a debate. All he needs to do is just the interviews that he's doing and the events that he's doing.

He doesn't need to do anything else. She needs it. She needs it desperately. But she's not up to the task. So CNN also offered Trump a town hall. And he's like, nah, Kamala Harris doing a town hall by herself isn't enough. Because, I mean, didn't she just do one with Univision? So we're going to do the same thing?

I mean, how many times you can have the same damn town hall over and over again with the same questions over and over again? You're not learning anything from it. She needed the contrast with Trump. That's the only way she's going to get any kind of boost. And I don't think he's going to give it to her. Now, that's fine. That's a smart move. So he shouldn't.

Our partners over at KELTEC, P-15, they made it through the, they made it through the hurricane. The inventors of the microcompact pistol category, Keltec, the P-15, lightest, thinness, 9mmeter on the market, comes in two versions. Metal and polymer version.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Colorado gold mine collapsed, living one dead and more than 12 people trapped 1,000 feet underground. It happened at the Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine near Cripple Creek on Thursday afternoon.

The sheriff at the press conference confirmed the fatality of one person inside of the mine. They said that the malfunctioned with the elevator system created a severe danger for those aboard while they were 500 feet into the mine. Rescue teams arrived. They pulled 11 people to safety who were stuck at the halfway point in the shack. and a further 12 stranded. They said that those who were stuck at the bottom have blankets, chairs, and water. They're in good health and are communicating with rescue teams. And they said apparently children were amongst those that have already been rescued from the mine.

So they don't know yet how the elevator inside the shaft failed. One of the people trapped, one of the 12th is an employee with mine safety experience. The other 11 are tourists. So, goodness, praying for those people. This, let's see here. jobless claim numbers published. Job-seeking AI is going to apply thousands of positions for you.

This is, wow. They said that it's called, there's like all these AI, like I guess engines for the lack of a better way to put it. They said that these, this thing will send out thousands of job applications and they match human applicants with prospective employment.

And it's, that's what AI will do. That's, I don't know if I, I mean, but now you're not even going to have, what do they call them? I mean, the people that are hiring, you're not even to have that position in HR anymore. Everything is going to be done by AI.

Like, I'm just, that's another job I hadn't even thought of that is going to go for AI. Oh, golly. Another storm. Nadine. Tracking another one. National Hurricane Center is monitoring a disturbance. Stop being disturbed off the Florida's East Coast

as Hurricane Milton barrels onward. the uh this her well that's they're calling they're looking at a calling the storm nadine the newsweek piece buries the lead they only have the first important information in the first paragraph so anna skinner needs to be fired uh but they said they're looking at this it's i mean they start it started out in the north atlantic there's two disturbances you have hurricane leslie that's going to go on a path away from the u.s and then you have this storm nadine so they're watching that what it is hurricane season i mean It's not, you know, it's not unusual. And let's see here.

We have like some, I'm not going to sit here and talk about lesbian sex scenes in Quick 5 at the opera. I mean, we get enough of that in our every day. I'm just not doing it now. We're also going to get into coming up. We have Doug Emhoff. He gave an interview and he was asked about the lady he slapped. Why isn't he being asked by more people about this? Stick with us.

On the go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist. Follow Dana's absurd. Truth podcast for bite size and formative episodes. Perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast. I made Kane mad on break. He's like, oh, he's so mad right now. This is what he does. He gets mad.

He's like, I'm not mad. You always exaggerate it. It's like when I say not old people are innocent. You always say, I say old people aren't innocent. It's not my problem that you don't like old people. That's a whole different topic. You always exaggerate my point. He's so mad right now.

He's like fuming. We had this huge, we just had this huge debate. off off air. First off, welcome back. Dana Lash with you. We're at the bottom of the second hour. Because I have not wanted to talk about it because I think it's dumb. I'm not going to be honest. Let me set it up like this. First off, you know, when people say that they don't trust their government, I get it. A lot of people have no reason to trust. I mean, in fact, it's like a part of our American DNA. It's the whole reason why we're not a double. direct democracy and why we have a republic, a constitutional republic, because it empowers the people

against the government. And you're supposed to have a healthy suspicion of it, right? I get it. I also probably get it more than the average bear because I've been targeted by my government and I've been harassed by my government. And I have, I've been put upon and besieged by my government. I've been called a domestic terrorist by literal sitting members of government, simply because I support natural, enumerated rights like, you know, your right of self-defense, Second Amendment. So I get it, like I said, a little bit more than the average bear about distrust for government. I always have joked over the years. I'm like two steps above anarchy. I believe in a constitutional republic, Article 1, Section 8, and nothing more. everything else is noise.

And I've said this even before the Tea Party, when I helped to found the second Tea Party, going around the country and getting at the vote, et cetera. I mean, I've seen it. I've experienced it. I've been through it all. That said, no, I do not believe the federal government is driving hurricanes into Florida to kill people before an election. I don't believe that.

Now, do I think that there exist things, you know, patents for? different weather applications for the lack of a better way to put it. Absolutely. But the existence of a patent doesn't mean that the technology or the thing exists. I mean, that's, you know, IP 101. But I say that because I know that some people, and I am friends with individuals that are on a scale of, yeah, maybe they're, you can seed clouds to they're driving hurricanes into Florida. Like that, that's a pretty big scale.

I have friends all over it on that scale. And I listen to them and I'm like, okay, wait a minute, hold up. I mean, we struggle to make even clouds full of rain right now. So what makes you think we're going to be able to control like an entire? I have had a friend that honestly believes and has told me that the federal government is literally controlling the hurricanes. And that's why there's so many more hurricanes. And they're whipping them up in the water out there. And they're like driving them towards Florida.

I am not kidding you. I don't want to name any names. And I love this individual. I don't dislike them. And I'm not making fun of them. I just think they're so wrong. And I told my friend, I said, I go, what strikes me is that this is like the rights version of climate change in a way, like to this extent. And Kane totally disagrees with me.

And so he's like, you don't believe in ionic, whatever drones with copper wires in the sky, do you know? And he got so mad at me during break because Kane's one of them. He's one of them. I am only stating the facts. No, you're not. You're pretending to triangulate. You're doing a Dick Morris here. What you're doing is you're trying to assign something that I'm doing, which is not what's happening.

That's what you're doing. This is totally what's happening. If you needed to be clear about that. That's totally what's happening. But what I'm doing is just telling you the scientific data that actually shows the electric field in the ionosphere. If you looked up the actual usage of like, say, harp, for example, do you understand what harp does and how it effects atmospheric energies? Yes, but I'm talking about

whipping up hurricanes and driving them into Florida. You don't understand. Right, I know. You want to take the absurd. I'm not taking the absurd. This is literally what people. I've had people, very good people, very smart people, try to argue this with me.

So somehow I'm curious with you when I can't get a word in edgewise. Isn't that weird? I just wanted to make sure that you were accurately representing my position came. I was. Isn't that what you like to do me? You take the absurd and you're like, purple, purple whales.

guy, that's stupid. No one said that. It's like, yeah, no, but no, I'm not, I'm given an example. You went to the absurd and you then decided to be against the absurd. You did. You do think that's absurd. You did. That people are driving hurricanes to the country. Yeah, that's absurd. Okay, okay. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. That is literally all I'm saying. So why are you so mad at me?

Exactly what I was saying. Because you kept acting like it wasn't what I was saying. That's why. Well, now you were trying to assign what I was saying. Like I said something differently than what I said. That's what I was saying. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. God. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. I, because I see people who, and there's been like a lot of, you know, discussion. I was telling my friend this. My friend's like, you don't think that we have, you know,

it's 2024 and our government's like 100 years ahead of us in technology. And I'm like, I actually don't believe that. I mean, the same government, look, I can't also entertain the idea that our government is supremely incompetent. And then also is like the late years ahead of with all this tech. Does that make sense? Like, I can't reconcile that. That's why I don't necessarily believe it. Look how many things they absolutely foobar up.

And like five years ago, if you were to tell me, you know what, dude, vaccines are horrible, actually, for you. I would have been like, that's crazy. Vaccines are credited with saving thousands upon hundreds of thousands of lungs. I would have said five years ago. Can I, I would have said a couple of them, yeah. I would have. Yeah, maybe.

But you wouldn't have then questioned the entire big pharma that we see today and the beheminent. and the behemoth that we now know that it is. I know. I'm just saying it five years ago it wouldn't have been as severe as post-COVID. Good Lord. You never said a damn thing about the big pharma before COVID. Give me a break.

You have not. You can't prove it either. I guarantee you can't prove. No. That's okay. But it was like it's like about putting all the kids like on ADHD meds and all this stuff and like antipresence and it's like that talking about that. Oh, I've totally written about it.

Yeah. So that went deeper. It wasn't just, oh, we got to treat ADHD. It was, oh, damn, these vaccines could be in the cause for that. There is a little distinction there, though, because the vaccines that you're talking about, and I questioned, like, we all question the Gardasil and all this other stuff. But even, okay, let's establish that whether or not you agree or support all of the shots, that the ones that were there have been out there for a long time, right?

Yeah, when I was a kid, there were nine. Like maybe nine you had to take when I was a kid. 70s. So they've been out there for a while. Yeah. The coronavirus one is legit like brand new. For sure. No studies. No law, no adverse, nothing established on it. So a lot of the people were pointing out like that's, we don't want to do that because there's nothing, we have no information about it. And then you would have people in the media, why do you hate all the vaccines? Because people were saying that one's new. There's no studies on any adverse reaction.

no long term, nothing, it's not been around as long as these others. Yeah. And they were unfairly characterized. And that prompted us to look into what's in these other vaccines possibly, because we've seen an uptick since the 70s and 80s on these things you just mentioned, like ADHD, autism, stuff like that. So we wanted to look and see. And the common denominator in these vaccines, even though old and trusted ones like you said,

use as a preservative thimerosol, which is mercury. and if you can explain to me why, they allow you to inject three times the amount of mercury in your veins, but won't allow it in a can of tuna. Well, cigarettes are safe, cane. FDA says so. Really? Is there cigarettes in the vaccine? Because that's what I'm talking about.

You know what I mean? I'm talking about vaccines. The government will say weird things and say certain things are safe when I get it. But I'm just saying they've been using for decades, mercury as a preservative in these vaccines. And that heavy metal is what's been causing a lot of these other issues. The vaccines themselves, if they were just like the old school like you talked about,

which is just a dead virus to help your body. kind of learned about that. That's not what's happening. And that's not what's happening since the 70s. Yes. Yes. I look at all you're sitting over there. What? I can tell. Would you stop? He sits up straight a certain way and he has his arms a certain way. I can totally tell. I have to move to the mic. I'm saying. But I do think that with some of this stuff, we got to be a little careful.

Some of the folks out there need to be a little careful. Look, I said, you know, I get it. you don't need to convince me. I've been called a domestic terrorist by my government, and I've been completely harassed by my government before just simply for supporting enumerated rights. I understand totally. But I also don't think that our government is both completely incompetent, and they can't fund hurricane disaster relief, but also have all the technology to literally drive hurricanes towards Florida and other Republican areas.

I just don't believe that the two things can coexist. I don't believe it. So we got to like get to pick one. But the other thing too is the media has been seizing on this, I think is a way they've written more about this than they have about the disaster that is FEMA. And my other reason for cautioning people about it is the any time that anything is given as a tool of distraction, the left and the media will seize upon it. and they will focus entirely on that so that so and they will ignore the other issue because look at it. The bigger issue is what? You all of these tax dollars people have paid into the government federal government federal taxes and then they turn around when people need that return on the investment of their tax dollars.

Where is it? Well, it's gone to illegal immigrants and then they try to argue well, no, it hasn't. But yes, it has because you guys have said yourselves. I mean, this spending is literally on the government website. It's over at DHS, which is where FEMA is under. By the way, the head of DHS. I don't know if you guys saw this. Alejandro Mayorkas.

He's been, he was out shopping recently. And he also went to go eat some, enjoy some sushi. He spent, he went to North Carolina. He spent under six hours there. And then he left to go to Nobu to get sushi, which is like a fancy sushi place, Nobu. And he spent less than six hours visiting the hurricane hit areas of North Carolina, then ran back to D.C. and had some very expensive sushi. And he probably spent more time at Nobu, and then he's probably,

spent more time shopping and eating sushi than he did actually in the hurricane hit areas. And he was, uh, he left the establishment. He had a little take home bag too when he left. He had a little doggy bag, cane. You have a little no boo doggy bag. This guy does not understand optics. DHS is a joke. Uh, they, he does not understand optics at all. A man, not, nobody in this administration does. You have Joe Biden on the beach when the hurricane's hitting, the first one. And then you have, Kamala Harris sitting for Vogue on October 7th while she's also simultaneously trying to attack Florida. I mean, you see the mess that this is?

This is such a mess. None of these people have any self-awareness. Say it what you said. Say it. I bet Mayorkas only eats California rules. I bet he does, too. That's all it is. That's his sushi.

That's his sushi. I'll just have the California wall. I bet he does. I bet that's all he does. I bet you're right. Although he does look like a cold fish, doesn't he? Extra avocado. Everybody's singing, I wish.

They are, could eat California roll. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida, man. All right, so first up here, because of the Hurricane Milton, people could catch fish in the street. It's actually not a bad gig. Be able to just walk out your front porch and go catch fish in the street. This was in a college park area. Two men caught a large bass on a flooded Orlando Road.

Yeah, and a dude in a riding mower came cruising down the middle of the street. I mean, this all happened at the same time. Dude was bass fishing in the street and another dude was driving a riding lawnmower. It's like a CNN weather report. No joke, right. Yeah, it's like a CNN weather report. And he came cruising through right through the middle of the scene. And they had a news crew there.

And he didn't have a care in the world. And the guy released the bass back in the water and he's like, we came out here to fish after the storm. He's like, you know, it's not fun for people whose stuff get ruined. He's like, you know, what are you going to do right now? Just, you know, everything's flooded. You're out there trying to, you know, this is all you can do. Too funny. This, a bearded Florida man casually joined a women's only poker tournament.

And he won $5,000 and got away with it. He used the anti-discrimination legislation. So they can't ban men from entering into a women's tournament. So he ended up defeating the, the, uh, fiends. email lead and took home over $5,000 according to the Las Vegas review. There's video of it. Some of the some players were putting a bounty on him. They said, good luck, but not really.

But yeah, he entered into the tournament and he couldn't keep him out of it. Yeah, he did beat all the women. That is correct. He beat all of the women. This, can you, this story? Have you ever, like, had a dream and then, like, you're mad? your spouse or something in your dream and you wake up and it takes a second to realize you're not dreaming and you're like you're mad at them for absolutely nothing so this woman was charged with domestic

violence because her okay so she got mad at her husband and attacked him because there was a woman on television they were watching television and the woman on tv reminded her of her husband's former fling it's coral springs police they responded to the call at a resident at a residence And the caller said a verbal argument between the spouses. The couple got, they had over, apparently the guy had cheated on her with this chick. And some woman on television, it resembled the chick that he had cheated on his wife with. And the wife got mad and attacked the husband. And that's what happened.

Yeah. And yeah, it was bad. She threw all kinds of items at him. She scratched him, bit him. I mean, he did cheat. So. But they said. that he actually finally, she, look, he took her to the ground because she wouldn't,

she wouldn't stop aggravating him and biting him and scratching him. So we forcibly took her to the ground and held her there. And then she tried to complain to the police that she was the victim because he had, he had used force on her. Girl, you were scratching and hitting him. Like, what did you think was going to happen? Come on. So she was arrested and taken after they investigated. They're like, yeah, you're the baddie. So they took her to jail, Broward County jail, of course. Like what? I guess they hadn't gotten past that. I guess they hadn't worked through it. Two dudes tried to rob a construction site during Milton and they deservedly got stuck. Aw. Winter Garden. They tried to take advantage of the state of emergency in Polk County.

They were at a construction site. They were trying to load up on what they thought was going to be an easy steal. And no, they got stuck. They actually got stuck in Polk County sheriffs arrive and they took them to Polk County Jail. Stick with us. Third Hour on the way. welcome back to the program Dana Lashier with you at the top of this third hour you can follow along Channel 347 direct TV the chats at Rumble we're also on X Kamala Harris's husband the second

dude Doug Emhoff headline he doesn't deny bombshell stories that he slapped his ex and got his children's nanny pregnant bringing He's spreading it about you saying that tabloid stories about

your personal life, saying it should be front and center. He's saying it about your wife and making incredibly crude and lewd suggestions about her past life. I'm just curious. I know I seem like a very Zen mindful person, but I think I'd be pissed off. And I'm just wondering how do you, How do you all stay centered? How do you stay disciplined and not really go off and not really push back hard at these things? We don't have time to be pissed off. We don't have time to focus on it. It's all a distraction.

It's designed to try to get us off our game. Does it get you off now? All we are doing, all we talk about is. Joe Scarborough BJ'd up that question. That's what it was. I have no other way to put it right now. he hawked toad Doug Emhoff just then with that question

He did And you know I'm right Joe Scarborough just hawk toad Doug Emhoff With that question The way he set it up He acted like he's afraid to get slapped He didn't want to ask that question So you know when people are saying that you

Knocked up your nanny and you slapped The hell out of that chick at Cannes Film Festival I mean how do you like stay centered When people are asking you about this Like how do you not like react. That's what he just did. Come on. Notice he didn't deny it. No, Doug Gimha's like, we just don't have time to get mad.

So you did hit her. I mean, a normal person would have been like, so you smacked her. But Joe Scarborough is like his eyes get tinier and tinier. Have you noticed like the more nervous Scarborough gets his eyes just disappear into the meat of his face. It just, they just disappear. It's like some messed up anime. But he, I mean, he took 5,000 years to ask that question. So like, you know, when you were slapping people, knocking people up with it like, you know, how do you stay centered when people are like, you did that? How do you stay centered? Who asks a question like that?

So when you were murdering people, how did you stay centered when people criticize you for murder? Like, we just don't have time to get mad. It's a distraction. It's a distraction to ask why you beat the hell out of a chick. in the valet line at Cannes Film Festival? How is that a distraction? Me too? How is that a distraction? When you knocked up your nanny?

How is that a distraction? It's like, that's, we're trying to, people are trying to figure out if they want you in the White House. And you're, that's a distraction. It's just, golly. Did it, did, Joe Scarborough was uncomfortable in asking that question. And when you're the reporter, when you're the person, when you're the interviewer, You cannot be afraid to ask those questions. I mean, grow a pair for the love.

He looks like one of those dudes that was in the Walls-Harris ad. I'm a man. I eat carburetor for breakfast. Golly. That question, though, was something else. But he, Doug Emhoff didn't deny it. He didn't deny it. So, but that would have been the follow-up.

He had, Scarborough had to ask him like that. he had to ask him, he had to ask him the question. And so he asked him to check the box, but he didn't really want to ask him, which is why he basically asked and answered the question himself in the question. So all Doug Emhoff had to do is, yeah, it's so bad. We're just, we don't have time to get mad. Who does this? Joe Scarborough does. I can't make fun of it enough.

However much you load these people, it's not enough. It really isn't. I mean, so the ex-girlfriend, remember, She got that back of the hand of the can film or something. Like Doug Emhoff got mad because he accused her of flirting with somebody. I don't know. Or that a dude flirted with her. I don't know what it was.

Anyway, he whacked a, whack the chick. Slapped her. And he goes, this is designed. He answers Scarborough. It's designed to try to get us off our game. And Scarborough goes, does it get you off your game? That's the follow-up he has. Not, did you, did you slap her?

It is, does it get you off your game? That's the follow-up. Did Twitter just drop our stream because I said that Joe Scarborough hock to a Doug Emhoff? Do you think that that's probably what happened, Juan? It's weird timing that they did it right when you did that. Because just to say, X may have dropped our stream because I said that maybe. Oh, no, I said it.

Joe Scarborough just hawked to it Doug M. Hoff's with the question there. And then he follows up. Does it get you off your game? the follow-up should be so you slapped her. Do you regret slapping her? That would have even, look, that is actually a, technically it's a straw man because you're presupposing something and you're trying to fabricate something. Well, actually, no, that's not a strombie.

You're begging the question. Begging the question is assuming, even though it's technically hearsay, I believe all women. I was told to do that by Kamala Harris, Doug Emhoff's, he's the wife guy, his wife, he's the wife guy of the wife. I was told to believe all women. So it begs the question when you assume that, what the question is based off is true and you ask the question like, okay, so do you regret slapping her? Not, so you slapped her. So the most unbiased way possible would be to ask, so you slapped her?

When I would have been like, say, do you regret hitting her? Me too. Do you regret hitting her also me too? Believe all women? Should we believe all women? That's what I would have asked. But Joe Scarborough goes, does it get you off your game? I'm Joe Scarborough. I don't know why, but they pay me gobs of money to blow smoke out my backside on MSNBC. He used to get so mad at me. Him and his wife spent like 15 minutes one time going off on me on their show because I criticize them because they're so thin-skinned. And so I totally norm McDonald it and I just hit them every time like every hour for weeks after you remember came. That's the follow-up they have.

Wouldn't you have asked that to? So do you regret hitting her? Oh, yeah, without a doubt. So you deny hitting her, but do you regret it if you did? Well, if I had hit her, I would have regret it. So you hit her? There's a way you can keep it going. No, I'm not off my game. I'm still beating women.

Yeah. Scar was like, does it get you off your game? And then Hoff goes, no, all we're doing, all we talk about is this election. That is so lame. You pansy, you pansy, doesn't even have the balls to ask him a tough question. You absolute beta pansy. just to get you off your game? Good grief. And he acts like such a hard ass on his show, doesn't he?

But then you get in front of Doug Emhoff. I guess he's worried about getting slapety slap too. He wasn't going to ask him that question. He's going to get the back of Doug's hand. Oh, boy. Golly. He was asking him a question like he's a beat dog. So does it, does it get you off your game?

Good night. Juan says that the first stream was having. issues. It's just a stream wide issue. It's not because I said that Joe Scarborough's a pansy and Hawk, too, a Doug Emhoff in the question laid up there. Just want to make sure people understand what we're talking about. That was good that you repeated it, though. Yeah, because the question, I mean, I was like, did Joe Scarborough,

Hawk, too, or Doug Emhoff in the setup of that question? Because he's a pansy, because he was afraid to ask, did you beat that chick in France? You know, did you ever hit your nanny that you impregnated? Did you hit her too? like I'm just can I just say to the laziness

like you don't even leave the house for your side piece you can't even you don't even have the energy to leave the house for the side piece you're like the nanny

and she wasn't even that good looking it's can't even shut up Kane or I'm going to make you say on here when you put it's like

not going to say that oh man oh man then Steve's in here. Doug won't talk to a Joe if Joe won't talk to a. Oh my gosh. Can't even deal. Oh, man.

You know, you have to make fun of these people. This is how bad this stuff is. This is how unbelievably bad it is. And then you got Barack Obama out there trying to act like, hey, pores. We're like you. Audio sound bite six. Listen to this.

Tim is a veteran. He is a teacher. He's a coach. He's a hunter. He's been a great governor working with Democrats and Republicans to get stuff done. He can also take advantage truck apart and put it back together. No, he can't. You think Donald Trump can do that?

For that matter, do you think Donald Trump has ever changed the tire in his life? Wow. So is that going to mean that our taxes are going to go down and then we're not going to go into World War III and get all our kids marked? Are these a new measure? for president whether you can change a diaper or a tire. Remember when Barack Obama was like, oh, you got to do is change air pressure in your tires. Save you all the gas in the world. He was even the one that said tick up your thermostat a couple degrees, too.

The thing that I will say that I think people like about Trump is Trump's like, yeah, I'm rich, what? And then he's like, yeah, I try to take advantage of all the tax breaks I can get. Who wouldn't? I mean, he just admits it. Where all these people are like, no, we're pretend poor. They pretend to be while they're up in Martha's Vineyard and doing all this stuff. Like Barack Obama's like, oh, climate change is bad guys. All the shoreline's going away.

Meanwhile, buys house on Hawaiian coastline and then changes the shoreline in contravention of the Hawaiian law. Or he buys coastal property up at the Hamptons he has. But he's like, oh, no, you guys better get away from the shoreline. You'll drop into the ocean and die. The climate change. I think they tell you that so you leave the shoreline for them. See, it's like they pretend this stuff. It's all pretend with them.

It's all pretend. It is. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold up, hold up. Audio sound like one. Yeah, this is when... Is this who cut one? Yeah, audio sound like one, listen to this.

This is when, by the way, the sheer audacity of Barack Obama, super rich guy, multiple houses, multiple mansions, you know, telling all these people who are broke and struggling in this Biden economy that they better vote for Kamala Harris or they're not doing enough. Unreal. Audio somebody one, listen to this. is that we had not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running.

He's got to pat himself on the back there, you know. I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. With the brothers. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. We had this yesterday. A guy poured gas on himself and ran into a patrol car.

This was in what, I was not in Washington. In North Carolina, a father embraces new life after becoming the second person to receive a titanium heart. That's interesting. At Duke Hospital, it is a titanium artificial heart. powered by magnets. It's like a whole meme now with the internet. It's made by this company that they replace this guy, Donovan Harbison's heart. And it's like an experimental thing. And they said that he, you know, they told him some time ago he had to have a transplant. It can obviously take a long time. So they have, it's an experimental device. It's powered by magnets made by this

company called Bivacore that actually replaces like his whole heart. This guy named Daniel Tim's invented it. They attached the device. through these connections to the remnant parts, and then the graphs are stitched under the remaining vessels, both the aorta and the pulmonary artery. And in an instant, the device was able to recreate normal circulation, normal amounts of blood flow, and normal pressures. And they said it's definitely heavier because you don't normally feel your heart. They said it would be, he's going to stand up with it. He's going to live with it temporarily. He's like, he's a good attitude about it. He says he's like Tony Stark. I guess you would feel it.

it. How weird would that be? I think that made me nauseous to feel it, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it? That is so weird. Like, oh, I don't know. I got questions about that. So, Chippendale's dancers are going to, oh, they're a thing still? They're going to unionize. Can I ask, who actually of women thinks that that whole schick is attractive? Right? I've just never understood it. It's, I know, like, from when I was a kid, that's like the stereotypical thing, but I just don't get it. But they said that the Chippendales at the Rio, they're going to unionize. Okay. Well, all right.

They said it takes a lot of work to make the prestigious ranks of the chips. Are they called the chips? The Chippendales people? The chips? Yeah, they said there's little job security. Well, you think you're ripping your pants off and shaking your ass for women and probably some dudes. I mean, what kind of job security did you think you were going to get with that?

got paid above union scale. I didn't know. Yeah, I actually thought they, yeah, I thought they made like some cash, right? I don't know. It's interesting. But they're, anyway, they're unionizing. Somebody shot and killed a two-year-old sea lion.

There's a 20,000 reward offered for information. I'll happily take a bat to anybody if the lawsuit calls, calls for it. They said that it's a, this is, yeah, they found him, he was injured but alive. He had a fresh gunshot wound in his back. Who shoots a seal? A sea lion?

Who shoots a sea lion? He ended up, he didn't make it because of his injuries, sadly. So they're looking out, they're asking for information. They said that some of them, California sea lions are, they're at a higher risk of human-related injuries in death because they're less wary of people. Their natural behavior has been changed. And so they think that someone might be nice to them and give them food. And instead, someone is a thug and shoots them in the back like this. Like, who does that?

Like, how, I hope you get eaten by sea lion. I hope a sea lion comes and just takes a chomp right out. you. That's what I hope. A couple of them. I hope there's revenge. Revenge. That's sad. And let's see. I thought I had one more here. Maybe I do not. Oh, I had this, but I don't know if we're going to have time to get to it later. In Beverly Hills, did you guys see the video of a dude who knocked out? There was a guy who was harassing diners at the Beverly, at his Beverly Hills restaurant. He was a pro Hamas guy. And the restaurant order came out and knocked the dude to the ground. To the ground. It was in Beverly Hills.

Hills, swanky restaurant. Babylon Bees fighting Gavin Newsom. We're going to talk to them next. The Dana Show podcast. Your fast, funny, and informative news companion for those always on the move. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you.

You can listen coast to coast, terrestrily. You can also check out the live stream of the radio program, Channel 347, Direct TV. You can find us on X. everywhere where there's a you can find us everywhere, we're everywhere. So welcome back. We're at the bottom of this third hour. We're talking a little bit earlier about that insane video

that Harry Walls released and we thought it was satire but it wasn't. It was a real actual video. I actually, I literally thought Babylon B made it until I watched at the end and I was like, well, they wouldn't put up a link to Harris Walls up there. That's interesting. It was

where they have all the guys and they were pretending that they were guys and they liked Kamala Harris. Babylon Beat, I think, is one of, I think that they're one of the maybe only entity that really gets satire very well. There's very few people who do. And there's, they're the only ones on the right who do. And that's what makes them so incredibly dangerous. And especially during a time when sometimes the news and what people do, it's just so crazy that you don't know if it's real or not. That's why I think it lands so well, because they just capture that. And perfectly. And that made Gavin Newsom mad out in California. And so he wanted to ban them. He wanted to

ban memes, what video, like anything, anything funny. He just wanted, it's a war on humor. And I was actually shocked that it went as far as it did and they litigated it. Joining us right now, both via Skype, well, I think one via Skype, well, I think one via Skype, Seth Dillon and Kristen Wagner. You guys know Seth Dillon with the Babylon B. and Kristen Wagner, President and CEO, General Counsel of ADF, which you guys no lines for defending freedom. And we've got them. We've got a three-parter right here. It's good to see you both, Seth and Kristen. Thank you both so much for joining us. Seth, I'm going to start with you first because, I mean, I thought that actually was satire originally when you guys first said that Newsom was looking to ban what you were doing. And I thought,

now they're just picking a fight with Gavin Newsom. No, it was actually real. When did the left stop being funny? Well, they're still funny. Are they? So, I joke. Well, they're fine. funny unintentionally. I joke all the time that it's the way to illustrate how difficult our job is right now in this insane world where real headlines seem like satire is you got to think of jokes that are funnier than what Democrats are doing in real life. That's the challenge. When you watch, you know, you talk about things that look like parody or they look like satire. It's, that's every Kamala Harris speech or interview. It feels like it's satire. It feels like it was

generated like it's an AI deep fake that's got we're stuffing funny words in her mouth. No, that's actually her talking. So it's the challenge of doing satire's. right now. It makes our job harder, not easier. It does make it harder. And I was looking at this. What they were, what they were, what he originally targeted was this parody video of Kamala Harris, which he had said should be illegal. And this was back in July. And essentially what they were wanting to do was to take down anything that they could argue would harm or somehow endanger a candidate's electoral prospects. And they were saying that it was like intentionally misleading. Kristen, I want to go to you on this because

I mean, the purpose of satire isn't to explain that what you're doing is comedy. And it just seems like the whole crux of their argument just presupposes that everybody is too stupid to realize when something is a joke and when something isn't. I mean, maybe that goes true for some of the folks on the left, but I don't know anybody on the right who believes that. Well, this is, by all accounts, a power grabbed by politicians to protect politicians during election season, which they've expanded to be over six months. So this is a roadmap for censorship. It is state-sponsored censorship. It is state-sponsored. and not only kills the joke that the Babylon B and others are trying to make, but it is taking a hammer rather than a scalpel to take away the rights of Americans to debate in a political season. It's extremely dangerous. Yeah. And how, I mean, how do you even prove, if you're Newsom, how would you even prove that she was damaged by a funny, because I'm assuming you're the lawyer here, not me, but I'm assuming you would have to prove some kind of damages on that. How does that even, that's why this seems so ludicrous. But you don't have to, Dana. I mean, this law is crazy in a million ways. So in terms of what the law does, it says that if there's digitally modified content and the government decides that there are parts of it that might be untrue, and it might actually hurt a candidate's chances of getting elected, then anyone can sue that cease it. It also imposes potential liability for anyone that reposts it. So the whole goal of this is to censor debate, and it's not about whether something's true or false. It's about the government being able to tell Americans what ideas can be expressed in the middle of our elections.

And that makes it harder, Seth, to what you do as, I hate the phrase content creator, but I don't know how else to put it. When you're coming up with us, it makes it a little bit harder when you have all of these restrictions that are coming down on how you can move within comedy and within humor and what's fair game and what isn't. I mean, it is designed to be a chilling effect. I mean, how would that, how would, if this was allowed to have stood, how would that have effect what you do? Well, it's a problem that we faced for a long time because, you know, we've been battling the fact checking and the claims that were misinforming people on purpose for a while. And then, you know, it started shifting to this argument that we were engaged in hateful conduct. It was hate speech that we were publishing. That's why we got kicked off Twitter was because we made a joke that was considered hateful conduct.

And we actually had a conversation before we posted that joke, you know, should we post this? there might be some penalty for posting this. And I make this point all the time. This is exactly how they want you thinking before you speak. It's that if I say this, if I say this message at this particular time, will I have some kind of penalty? And that leads to people end up, that leads to people censoring themselves and engaging what I call, you know, soft censorship,

as opposed to them taking your content down. They're getting you to censor yourself before you even post it. And so I think a law like this, yeah, it will have an effect on people like us. You know, we would have every intention of continuing. to post what we post, come what may, and then we would fight it out in the courts. But a lot of people are going to censor themselves and refuse to tell jokes that they think might lead to penalties or lawsuits or enforcement of some kind. And so it's absolutely intended. And whether it's intended or not, I think it is intended to, but whether it's intended to or not, it will chill

speech for that reason. I feel like that's already happening. Don't you think so, Seth, like the rewiring of the American mind. And people are, they're actually stopping to second guess themselves, even over the most innocuous things? Yeah, I mean, the soft censorship is happening a million to one against the hard censorship. Most of the censorship that's happening right now in our culture is people who are refraining from speaking because they don't want to be canceled. They don't want to lose their platform. They'd rather go along to get along.

And so we already have it with the policy enforcement that's there on these private platforms. When you layer on legal restrictions and enforcement of laws that could result in lawsuits, it gets that much worse, that much more intimidating. And so I think we'll only see increased levels of censorship. if we don't continue to fight these things and and assert our right to speak freely. Now we're talking with Seth Dillon with the Babylon B and also Kristen Wackner's president, CEO of ADF. Kristen, there are already legal pathways to go after, you know, unprotected speech, speech that, you know, is considered defamatory or slanderous or liable or, you know,

I mean, there's specific categories, time tested in the courtroom. What, they act as though that that is, is it because it's harder? because the and and and this proposal and what newsome and democrats wanted to do they didn't want to meet that higher bar because i know it's really difficult to litigate those types of cases and bring them into the court did they just or were they trying to make it i mean i know easier for censorship but what what did not exist that this law was providing for them there's nothing that didn't exist there are laws in place that you know intrusion of privacy defamation if you engage in false speech there's laws involving election fraud all these things are already in place, which I think just exposes the motive behind this, which is that it's not about real harm to someone's reputation. And again, remember, these laws only protect the politicians. But it's actually that they don't want unflattering ideas or unflattering concepts to be out there about them. And you raise a great point, Dana, in terms of what is the harm? In these

other areas of the law, you actually have to prove harm. But this California law says you don't even have to prove harm. You just have to prove that it might be likely. What kind of speech? How do you know if something impaired a political candidate's chances of getting elected? It's why it's so troubling and why the trial court has said this took a bulldozer to the First Amendment rights of citizens. It's also telling that they went right after that Newsome was so worked up over a parody of Kamala Harris. You wonder, would he have been that worked up and be talking about how it needs to be illegal if it had been a parody of Trump that made Trump look bad? you know so it was you can you can tell just from the content that triggered this thing you know his response to it and then accelerating pushing this law through um that there's political bias at play here too well and these are also the individuals that were silent when you have kathy griffin with you know a disembodied you know bloodied head of of donald trump or when they've you know some of the language that they have used in talking about conservatives apparently that's okay but if it's in any way you know ridicule ridicule is very i mean it's a very effective rhetoric it really really is. I mean, ridicule is a very effective form of rhetoric. And it's really hard for them to fight back

against it. And Seth, to that point, because there's truth in it. You used the word dangerous earlier. Yeah, used the word dangerous earlier. We are considered dangerous by the people whose ideas we challenge with mockery, which is, like you said, one of the most effective ways of challenging them. It is considered dangerous. And so they will often suggest that they are trying to protect people from harm when they're censoring comedy, you know, that could be hurtful or damaging or, or something like that. But what they're really trying to protect is their ideas and their preferred politicians and their narratives.

You know, that's what they're trying to protect. Yeah. Chris, let me ask you this. This suit, it seems like they knew that this was going to be unsuccessful in some part. But then I also wonder, you know, I always try to look at what their other hands doing when they're distracting with the right hand, what's the left hand doing. Is this also designed to maybe put a roadblock or hurdle in people's minds that that maybe, you know, they'll think twice about doing something like what Seth and Babylon B does. Well,

we don't want to, we don't want to, you know, poke the bear. We don't, we don't want to engage in expensive litigation or have all of our time taken up by litigation like this. So maybe we won't. It seems like, you know, that is also kind of an unintended effect that they wanted to inflict here. Well, I mean, anytime you have to resort to litigation, that the process is part of the punishment, right? So I think you're spot on to suggest there's more going on. First of all, this law went into effect immediately upon Newsom's signature. Immediately. There was no waiting period. So there's no question they wanted it to affect this election cycle right away. And then the second thing is, there's no assurance that going into a trial court in California, you're going to

get the kind of relief that we did. After all, it is California. And then you're taking it up through the Ninth Circuit. I think the fact that we got the relief that we did lets you know how egregious this violation is, how over the line it is. But keep in mind, we have to continue to litigate this. California hasn't dropped it yet, and it will continue to go through the system. That's why we're so thankful for Babylon B and other clients who are willing to stand up in this moment to say, I'm going to take the arrows, I'm going to take the distraction that it causes my business or what I'm doing, because this is that important. Would it have gone this far if they were in Texas and not California?

If they were in Texas, the law would have never been passed. Now, Seth, here's where we go. Now we've got to start talking about getting you guys to relocate and come to Texas. Well, Dana, I think it's important to realize that this law actually applies to all federal elections. So literally in Texas, if you're in Texas and you repost something, you can be sued under this California law in California. So this doesn't just inhibit the rights of California citizens. Now, they might have a defense, you know, someone in Texas to say, the California court can't haul me in. But again, they got to defend themselves, which is the point.

Wow. Seth, wait a minute, I take that back. You cause problems for us not in Texas. We have to go to California. That is insane. This, well, so let me ask you this. How is this going to affect your movie? Because you have a movie that drops today.

It's you're taking a very serious, completely not satirical at all. Look at January 6th and those, you know, the movie. warlords that were involved in all of this and the countless lives that were lost that day uh and it drops today congratulations on that and by the way that movie you can go to baby dot com you can you can access the movie it's uh it's january 6 the most the most deadliest day i most deadliest uh are you so what your thoughts i mean congrats on the movie but hopefully it won i think we do have some relief you know a judge has looked at the law in response to the initial lawsuit that was filed um and had did say that

it was unconstitutional and that it hinders free expression, particularly, you know, humorous expression. And so I, you know, we will continue to try to push, push back and fight this through the system. As it, like Kristen was saying, you know, it's not over yet. There will be appeals and it will continue to go through the system. And so we'll continue to fight that. I think we will ultimately prevail in that. And we're certainly not going to engage in the censorship of, you know, holding back the jokes that we think need to be told at the time they need to be told. We have the right to tell them. So we're going to keep doing that.

And I love that you fight back against explaining that it's a joke. I'm so grateful that you do that because I hate it when people have to go, well, it's guys, it's a joke. And this is why it's funny. You ruin the joke when you have to explain the joke. I couldn't imagine publishing all our jokes with massive disclaimers saying they're satire. You know, you just, the entire mechanism of satirical humor relies on you not doing that. You're mimicking something that seems and feels, it's got to feel real.

That's what kind of makes you do a double take at it and it pulls you in. And then you get the punchline. But it doesn't work unless you do that. And so if we were to have to layer disclaimers over our articles or put them throughout our videos playing the entire time the video is going, there's got to be this massive disclaimer across the screen. That will also, it doesn't just mess up the joke. It also messes up the virality of it too because people aren't going to want to share

content like that. People aren't going to want to engage with it. If anything, they would laugh at that and think that was stupid. but it would definitely hurt your ability to get reach with your jokes. Yeah, absolutely. Well, the documentary, which is very official, very official documentary, not at all satirical, very serious. January 6th, the most deadliest day. And I love how it's never forget to remember.

And let me get one quick question about this before I let you go, because I know we're getting ready to wrap here. But what was the most important thing that you learned, Seth, when doing this documentary? What did you learn that maybe no one else knows? You know, I wouldn't say that we learned anything secret or confidence. but we, I think maybe one of the things, the things that we took away from this was that we didn't really fully understand the extent to which this whole thing has been blown out of proportion and deserves mockery. You know, we went into this, realizing this is an issue that needs parity. You know, there needs to be a satirical documentary that's done on this. But just the more we looked into it, the more we talked to people and had conversations about this, it became that much more clear to us how insane. And the victims, by the way, the people who are engaged in, you know, the lawfare against them, and the effort of the DOJ and the FBI to go after people, it's just so much more outrageous than we even realized. So that was probably the key thing.

Well, I can't wait to watch it, and it's out now, and you can access it over at BabylonB.com slash January 6th. Seth Dillon, always a pleasure. Thank you so much for everything you do and making us all laugh. And, of course, Kristen Wagoner, we really appreciate you as well, the Alliance for Defending Freedom. Thank you for what you all do to preserve liberty and our rights. We're grateful for you both.
