This is about Kamala Harris' judgment. And I think that when you ask, why has Kamala Harris allowed the border to be wide open? Why has Kamala Harris supported policies that have promoted the increase in inflation? I think it goes to the heart of her judgment, and I think that that's what we should be talking about. One last question. Donald Trump didn't serve in the military. He received a medical draft deferment for bone spurs to avoid serving in the Vietnam War reportedly as a favor to his father. Do you find that shameful, too? I think that Donald Trump didn't serve in the military, but he didn't lie about it, Dana.

I've known Donald Trump for a long time. He really honors our betters he orders for my service. Donald Trump didn't lie about serving in the military. He didn't say that he went to Vietnam when he didn't. This is the problem. I don't criticize anybody. Whether they served our country or not, I think it's honorable to serve, but obviously a lot of people have reasons for not serving.

I criticize somebody for embellishing their record for lying saying, I went to war. Dana, do you think that it's a problem that he said, went to war, but he didn't actually, that seems to be a problem to me. Well, they've, they've corrected that. No, they haven't corrected it. I mean, they, why, why in the hell are you, are you rat bastards running cover for this? I'm

so tired of this nonsense. I'm so damn tired. Every flipping day when I get on this damn program, I have one of these absolute rat bastards on the press that sit here and run cover for these, these absolute clown cars that are in Washington, D.C.

Do your damn jobs. You absolute welfare, queens. I'm tired of it. I get so aggravated. I mean, Sidor, well, they corrected it. No, they, what, whose ass are you kissing? Seriously, unstick your lips from her ass and just do your job. I'm so tired of it.

Good night. It's just, it's just asinine. I get aggravated, Kane. I get aggravated at all of this stuff, as you can tell. It is Monday, after all. I can relate. Yeah, that's, that's, it is, it is, it's Monday. God help us all.

It's Monday and we're just now getting started. So welcome to the program, Dana Lash with you here. And we are at the top of this first hour. But that's the, that was the big audio soundbite that we had coming in. It was J.D. Vance. And I, and he was, he did a couple, he did some really good media hits when he was, he was talking with members of the media. He had some really good hits. He had some really good hits.

And he, I thought that was a really good one because these people like, oh, well, she changed it. She fixed it. And it's like, no, they didn't change it. All they did was like try to retcon the, all they did was try to retcon what

they had on the website. And there was a couple other things too. They tried to change what was on the website. They tried to change a few. I mean, he had a challenge coin for crying out loud. We're going to into all of this. So welcome, top of the, top of the show. I get at, it was like, I've been mad about that since I saw that interview. I've been mad about it since I saw the interview. And you know what gets me? Can I'm just, I'm not done yet, so you're going to have to deal with it.

You know what really gets me with this? Is that, uh, you have these, these, these people, you have like the people like the Dana Bashes and all of this. I'm just, I'm going to say my name how I want to. And that run out there and they run cover for these lawmakers instead of asking questions of these lawmakers. I mean, he was right. He's like, you know, your top three, your top three questions, uh, had to do with, uh, her not taking questions from the press or her, or about Kamala Harris. I mean, you could just ask her. You know, you could just, you could just ask her as a member, you know, you're in the press. Do your job. And there, I mean, there was, what was the other cut? Because we have, uh, what was it, five? I think it was five. When she

was like, well, there aren't any media lies about Donald Trump. Yeah, listen to this. This was nuts. The second thing, Dana, is I believed, and I'm ashamed of it, I believed a lot of the media lies about Donald Trump in 2016. I believe that he said things like, for example, the media said Donald Trump accused all Mexicans of being rapist and criminals. You actually look at what he said. He did not say that at all. And I think it's important when you see something, you change your mind, and that's all I've done. And my pitch to the American people would be, I imagine a lot of folks who are thinking about voting for Donald Trump in 2024, maybe they've bought in to the media lies about him. Think for yourself. Look at what he actually said. And I think you'll

find that he's one, a very engaging guy, but two, was a very good president. There aren't media lies. He, we play him and we let him speak for himself. And so people are getting exactly. I'm not accusing you of lying, you know, I like you, but the media lies from time to time about he's very nice. I wouldn't be. I mean, who started you want? There aren't media. There aren't media lies? Yes, there are. There are absolutely medium, media lies. There are media lies. I don't know who you, who you think you're full in here. I mean, I'm just glad that, I thought he did a very good job on the campaign trail, by the way. I thought, I thought it was, um, I thought he did a good job with that. But I get, I just, I honestly, I get super aggravated about all of it because it's, I mean,

I've been doing this for, I mean, I, my first radio, program was in October of 2008 and I've been doing it for that long. And I get super aggravated when I see these people in the media that try to run defense for these politicians, for candidates. And these are the same people. They only do their job, but then they don't even really do their job, as you know. They don't get antagonistic until it's like a Republican in elected office. And then they act like they're the journalists that they've, you know, they've always been doing this. But look how quickly. Did you see the Time Magazine cover?

The Time Magazine cover, which I think Juan has, the Time Magazine cover is insane. It has Kamala Harris on the front of it. And it's, you know, a new Kamala. They are, you are, I told you it was going to be like this. But it's still, you're never prepared for it, are you? It's still pretty amazing. The Time Magazine cover, she's on the front of it. And they make it out like she's Joan of Arc or something insane.

Like, you mean, the way that they have, the way that they're portraying her is crazy. And so the media has gone above and beyond to rehabilitate her to recon her to do whatever they need to make sure that they can get her across the finish line. And she's, I mean, the press attention that she has received is just amazing. We're going to talk more about this because they're doing it with Tim Wals as well. I can't imagine, you know, you have Wals out. I don't know if you saw this over the weekend. but he was just completely utterly destroyed over the weekend by an individual. First off, he misprinted his rank as command sergeant on his congressional challenge coin.

Remember, they kept saying that it wasn't him that was doing this, et cetera. Then you had more campaign literature come out. And then someone said that they were looking up at Waltz's battalion commander. and his own battalion commander, his direct supervisor, actually came out and blasted him. He posted on, I think this was like on, what was it, Twitter or Facebook, I think it was Facebook. He put, or no, this was Instagram. He said, quote, feeling you need to say this.

This is, again, this is John Cole, and he's Walsh's battalion commander, his direct supervisor. And he comes out and says, and he's retired, Colonel John Cold, Minnesota Army, National Guard. He wrote, quote, I do not regret that Tim Wals retired early from the Minnesota Army National Guard, did not complete the sergeant's Major Academy, broke his enlistment contract, and did not successfully complete any assignment as Sergeant Major. Unwittingly, he got out of the way for better leadership. Thomas Berends was the right leader at the right time. He sacrificed to answer the call, leaving his family, his business, his farming partner brother to train, leading care for soldiers. He earned the privilege of being called Command Sergeant Major,

he said. Like the great leader, like a great leader, he ran toward and not away from the guns. I have no opinion of Mr. Walsh's decision to leave service at the time he did. It was his right to retire early. I also have no criticism of his services in E7 and an E8 in the MN-A-R-N-G. By all accounts and on the record, he was a competent chief of firing battery, gunnery sergeant first sergeant. I cannot say the same of his service sitting frocked in the CSM chair. He did not earn the rank or successfully complete any assignment as an E-9. And it is an affront to the non-concrant. commissioned officer corps that he continues to glom onto the title i can sit in the cockpit of an airplane it does not make me a pilot similarly when the demands of service and leadership at the highest level got real he chose another path hashtag not my c s m that is a nuclear blast and you know what's

amazing about all of this is that the rat bastards in the media they didn't find this guy you know if it was a republican if it was anyone else they would have they didn't look at up. They didn't find him. No one in the media found him. The same media that Shielding Kamala Harris didn't go and find him. He outed himself on Facebook. He came out and outed himself on Facebook.

No one in the media is interested in Tim Walsh has stolen valor. No one in the media is interested in him fabricating his service record. He didn't just misspeak. He printed it on a challenge coin. He printed it on his congressional materials.

He was in ad after ad after ad saying the same thing. He was on the campaign trail when he was running for House of Representatives saying this. He was on the campaign trail when he was running for governor saying this over and over and over and over and where, pray tell? Are the attack dogs for the people? Where, pray tell? Are all of those back patting Pulitzer Prize shopping up horrible excuses for a free press? they're not looking this up. They're not asking these questions. They're not going out and finding retired Colonel John Colb. Have you seen retired Colonel Colb anywhere on MSNBC, on CNN, on MSNBC, on anywhere, have you? Have you seen him? You haven't. And why is that? Because these people,

this so-called free press that want to pretend that what they do is so sacred, they want to act like, you know, they are somehow the last bastion of freedom in this country, that they are the modern day oracles, the Delphi, that these people, these people are the real truth tellers. They have no interest in introducing America to any of these people that actually know Tim Walls,

that either serve with Tim Walls, served under Tim Walls, or served after Tim Walls, or even people in his own state that are currently with. And they are not interested in any of these people because their priority isn't you? it's not even to this fake thing that we call a free press because people who are tied and tethered to political ideology are not free. It's not to the Constitution. It's not to the tenants of this free republic. It is to power adjacency because they want to be adjacent to power because they

want to be able to be the bullies. They want to be on what they believe is the winning side. That's what it's all it's ever been about with these people. These are activists who, couldn't cut it in the activist world, so they decided to go into journalism. That is why you haven't heard about John Cole. John Cole told you about himself. He wasn't going to wait around for Dana Bash to schedule an interview with him. He wasn't going to wait around for Jake Tapper to schedule an interview with him. He wasn't going to wait around for Katie Kirk to schedule an interview with him or anybody else in the legacy press. He just came out and spoke for himself. And fascinatingly, none of this is anywhere this morning on any of those.

big networks, is it? No, but they're all about, let's talk to J.D. Vance about Kamala Harris. What do you think, J.D., about this, or you said this statement six years ago. But notice, you don't get the same thing with Tim Walzer. In fact, there hasn't been a sit-down interview with Tim Walz. There hasn't been an open Q&A with Tim Walz. There's been an open Q&A with Kamala Harris. This whole thing is a joke. It is an absolute joke. You have every right to ridicule and to discurteously as possible treat the legacy press because not only do they deserve it, they earned it and it is part of your obligation as a citizen of this free republic. Unbelievable. So yes, they're going to do everything that they can to protect their trash.

And I don't feel like I should be, I don't even feel the need obviously to be courteous anymore about this. I'm tired of it. I'm sitting here. I don't know about you. I'm sitting here trying to plan. You know, our family's finances several years in advance. And I have to sit here and hold breath and wait to see if my tax rate's going to double after November. While people put out these magazine covers of Kamala Harris. And while they sit here and they excuse Tim Walsh's stolen vower that absolute fud.

Now, we're going to talk about all of this and more. Some of the other things that we have coming up, the media, the economy. Can we just stop with the no tax on tips thing? It's stupid. Let's just get rid of the damn income tax. Don't sit here and flirt around on the fringes. Either go whole hog or STF you.

Okay, we're going to get into all of that. I agree with Annie Oakley who said, quote, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies. Now, I myself regularly conceal carry 9mm. Now that said, not every woman is like me, has had the hours of training that I've had, or feels comfortable around firearms due to years of use, or maybe they're by a gun-free zone. I'd like to change that what I can while encouraging self-defense at the same time. So this is where Berna comes in. It's kind of like a starter weapon. It's, they make a non-firearm firearm, firearm. I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women. And the Berna SD model shoots chemical irritant projectiles, 68 caliber

rounds that can deter threats in their tracks up to 50 feet away. I mean, it is hard. Easy target acquisition zero recoil. Burna is legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks, no permits required. It's shipped directly to your door. Gun free isn't applicable to Burna. It's great for wherever guns are banned.

So first up, this is just something that happens almost, you know, every single day now at this point. Now, in the U.K. Because they're having major, major issues with their stupid, flaccid leadership. And this is what happens also when you don't have a Second Amendment. They're arresting people on speech. they're arresting people for criticizing the violence that led to some of the protests, etc. So now, according

to new figures, there's over 700 illegal immigrants who arrive in the UK in fact, one, in 11 different boats in a single day, according to new figures, and they're paying people thousands to get them across the channel in small boats. And you have their prime minister, Kier Starmer,

who said, oh, he's going to smash the gangs that are paying. No, he's probably going to get a kickback from him because that's what he does. Also, this Boeing, why? gets a $2.5 billion contract from the U.S. Air Force for an E7A Wedgetail aircraft. Why? Why are they getting contracts?

Yeah, why? Are they... Kane? Cain, what has been the make of plane that has been, like, falling out of the sky and having... You mean the ones without bolts on the wings and the pop out of the door while in flight? That sort of thing. Oh, yeah, that's a Boeing. Oh, that's right. Okay, I thought it was something else that may be...

Okay, that's right. Okay, so they got a $2.5 billion contract from the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Air Force. It includes lifecycle development, training, and support for the U.S. E7A fleet, according to the company in a statement. Well, that's good. You know, people are getting rewarded. We're entering an AI price-fixing dystopia, apparently. They said that this is an interesting thing about the markets.

They said that a lot of people, landlords, et cetera, are using AI to set the price, enable AI-enabled price-fixing conspiracy. this is something else to look forward to in the real estate market. Yay. An Alaska Airlines flight diverted after the pilot shockingly confessed that he wasn't qualified to land the plane. Okay, so I thought it was just Boeing. Maybe it's now just people. Yeah, it was the SkyWest regional partner. They had issues. They had to give him some help. We got a lot more on the way stick with us. Our partners over at Hillsdale College, an actual educational institution.

It's a small Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan. You don't have to be on their campus all the way up in Michigan in order to to take advantage of everything that they have to offer at Hillsdale. In fact, they have all sorts of free resources online for you. And the cool thing, too, if you are a student of history, if you like history, if you'd like anything particularly related to the War of Independence or the Revolution, all of that, then they've got a video up at Dana 4, F-O-R-Hillsdale.com. And it's a portrayal of Thomas Jefferson.

He was a prolific letter writer. And it's based on a very real letter that he wrote towards the end of his life to a colleague, where he was reflecting upon the meaning of the Declaration of Independence and its applications for the future. It's a really fascinating deep dive for you that Hillsdale offers. And when you go to their website and view the video, you can get a free commemorative copy of the Declaration of Independence from Hillsdale as well. And Hillsdale founded in 1844 to offer the kind of education needed to preserve the liberties that we enjoy. And they hold true to that mission today.

I believe that Kamala Harris is whatever she says she is, but I believe, importantly, that President Trump is right that she's a chameleon. She pretends to be one-frey. in front of one audience. She pretends to be something different in front of another audience.

Look, Dan it, she's not running a political campaign. She's running a movie. She only speaks to voters behind a teleprompter. Everything is scripted. She doesn't have her policy positions out there. She hasn't answered why she wanted to ban fracking, but now she doesn't. She wanted to fund police, but now she doesn't. She should have to answer for why she presents a different set of policies to one audience and a different set of policies to another audience. And I think that that's what President Trump is getting at. This is a fundamentally fake person. She's different depending on who she's in front of. That was a good take on that. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you at the bottom of this first hour. You can listen coast to coach.

We also got the simulcast up Channel 347 and Rumble and X. Rumbles is where the discussion happens. It's where the discussion takes place. Two things. My first thought, I was thinking this while I was talking. Do you know what he were, you know who he is, J.D. Vance. Do you know who he is? he is in this election cycle. He is the more disciplined distilled Trump. Think about it. Let's all be honest for just a split second. It's his strength and his weakness, his, his, the impresario-esque nature of Trump. And he goes out and does all this stuff and he can talk to people for forever, et cetera, et cetera. But I mean, but also he can completely lose focus, discipline and the messaging just goes over the hill and into the woods. All right. We know that.

J.D. Vance, though, is like a more distilled, disciplined Trump. You know it, right? He's, I mean, because he goes out there and he'll answer a question and they try to take him off of it. And I'm not saying this. I don't like to be fanboys with people. And I'm not being a fanboy with him. But that's, I mean, he's very, very disciplined. That's a strength. He's very disciplined. He gets out there. I don't care what you think of him. You know, he's. You know, he's. He's, you know, he's. He's, even the left's got to be admiring it a little bit. He gets, he's an absolute asset to the campaign. He goes out there and he stays focused and he smiles. He's a happy warrior. I don't know if he's had media training or what, but that is the exact type of that he has to project. What do they get him on?

Think about this for a moment. Oh, you're weird. Well, hell, isn't everybody? And everybody weird, right? Everybody does weird things, right? Like, I don't like odd numbers because I feel like, somebody's left out, something's left out. I got to keep it, you know, even numbers.

Everything's got to have a buddy. You know what I mean? Is my only only one that does that? Everybody's weird. Everybody's got weird stuff. Like Kane with his tinfoil. Weird. And it's just complete, just innate distrust of elderly people.

I'd argue. I'd argue that. You know? I mean, it's just, like Steve is so joyful all the time. It's weird, right? Juan is so pure. It's weird. You know?

Like, everybody's weird. Everybody's got a weird thing. That is weird. What you said. Nothing is weird about what you said. Yeah, it is. None of it. Yeah, it is.

I mean, we live in like, the industry we work and we feel like we got to protect Juan. And like, and Steve, because Steve's like, hi, guys. And he's like, Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. Hi, guys. He's just so happy all the time. And we're like, golly, it's a Monday. And he's like, yeah. Yay.

It's weird. That shouldn't be weird. It's weird. Come on. That should be normal. We should normalize stuff like that. And you say you're Gen X. It's a matter of you.

I don't think so. I'm going to be gatekeeper now. I think you're Gen X. Because I am. Oh, no. Don't you be gamekeeper with me. We're going to fight right now. I'm going to fight. But my whole point is that that's all they've been able to say about it. I think if he was nasty and undisciplined in his messaging, they would be able to take their attacks a lot further. But they can't because he's like, nope, just not going to do it. And even when he's talking to Dana Bash, now most of us would already have been in rage mode. He wasn't. That's a skill. He's very disciplined. He is a kind of a disciplined Trump. The other thing, too, and This is, I'm going to get right back on topic, but I just got to mention this because I saw it.

It was a story that was happening over the weekend. It's since been, you know, it's frittered away. But people were trying to, there were like, there was gossip as to whether or not he wore eyeliner. And his wife was like, no, you absolute morons. Those are his eyelashes, like at the bottom of his eye. He's not wearing eyeliner. And my, my, you know, the second thought I had after watching that, reading about the story was,

gosh, I would love to be so lucky. You know, you just wake up and you're like, well, go up like this and, you know, looks like you have eyeliner on. That's maybe a chick thing or a goth, baby Gen X thing. I don't know. But I was like, that's kind of neat. Okay. Anyway, moving on.

Very disciplined. Very disciplined. If he, Trump needs to be that. That's exactly what Trump needs to do. Oh my gosh. If both of them were that disciplined, this race is over. I don't think you guys realize that. this race would be over.

It would be done. Just give me a couple of weeks at him being super hyper disciplined. And it's done. It's a done deal. Wall Street Journal says the pool of undecided voters is shrinking. That sounds like a bad horror movie, doesn't it? It's the pool of undecided voters.

The race is on to reach the rapidly shrinking pool of undecided voters. Now, six weeks ago, Wall Street Journal pulled and found that 28% of voters were up for grabs. they were not fully committed to any candidate yet. Late last month, only 15% same pool were up for grabs. Many people are starting to settle. Okay, another quick sidebar. Guys, I know you guys, everybody out there in Radio Lane,

everybody listening, even if you hate me, you all know where you are at, right? You know where you've been at. It's not like you have two people who are completely unknown. They're not two unknowns. You know where these people are. And the fact that people are still making up their minds is just staggering to me.

But there's something to this. So they talked about positive views of Harris rose late July from early in the month up to 11 points to 46%. Positive use of Trump also increased four points. I think some of that has to do with, you know, maybe post-assassination attempt the addition of Vance. Trump had a really good week where he was very focused. And then people are just relieved that Biden's out of the way and it's and it's Harris. even though they don't really like Harris.

So I think some of it's a little bit of a honeymoon stuff, honeymoon effect. However, one of the things that in talking about the focus and discipline of Republican messaging that they are going to have to really distill down is talking about her. And as I said, this is not a case of two unknowns. We know, because we've already had one term of Trump, and we have already had one term of Congress. And we have already had one term of Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris, in the way that the Republicans need to present her, is running against herself. She wants to act like she's the outsider because she's the vice president and now she's kind of walking to the middle. And so she's sort of the maverick in all of this.

That's what she's desperately trying to recraft herself as. And what Republicans need to do is saying, no, this is someone who is soulless and selling out for whatever political victory she can get. she's running against herself. She's been in office for four years. Beyond that, she was in the Senate. And beyond that, she was AG in California as well. So, you know, she's not an unknown. And this is where she's moving on all of these issues.

You know, she, how, like, for instance, she tried to glom on. And I don't like the tap on the no tax on tips thing because I think there should be no tax your income, that's me. And I get mad when only one area is being serviced. That seems weird to me, so I don't like any of this. But I do think it's funny that she just plagiarized this. Audio sound bite

nine. This is on tips for service and hospitality workers. Hospitality. Damn, did KJP write that for her? Hospitality. What is the hospitality industry? Well, it's like the hospital, but there's like hospitality in the hospital. It's the utilities.

It's like hospitable hospitality. It's what it is. Hospitable hospitality. Same thing. Audio sound by 10. This is why it sounds familiar to you. Listen. For those hotel workers and people that get tips, you're going to be very happy.

Because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips. People making tips. You do a great job of service. You take care of people. And I think it's going to be something. that really is deserved. So those people that have jobs and restaurants. I wish that we could just not have like, let's just

get away from taxes at all because I have my own issue with that. But what I'm talking about right here is she just decided to go with it. And everyone's like, wait a minute. Have we heard this before? And the press is going, look at this brand new original idea from Kamala Harris.

It's brand new and very original. So she's, here's the funny thing you should know about this, though. She weaponized the IRS against all of this. The Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS is going to crack down on underreported tips. She, as presiding over the Senate, cast the tie-breaking vote on the bill that made the IRS allowed them to crack down on under-reported tips. She cast the deciding vote in favor of it. She could have killed it, and she did. She did.

didn't. She voted for it. So wait a minute. I'm all confused now. Where, which way is she going here? I mean, she cast the tie-breaking vote for the inflation reduction acts, the IRS cracking down on underreported tips. That was part of, you know, the inflation reduction act. The thing that was never, never was about reducing the inflation. It secured $80 billion of new funding under these false pretense. is this is where they wanted 88,000 agents. They wanted to double the size of the IRS, all of this. This is where in the bill, because tipped employees, you have to pay both federal and payroll tax on the tips you get. And I worked in the service industry like all through college. Workers, you report tips to employers. That's why cash is king, y'all. Whenever you can tip in cash. I'm not saying that we just, we're skirting the system. No one's saying that. Wink, wink, wink, nod. But the 15.3% payroll tax, workers report tips to their employers they pay that tax the IRS on the employees behalf they adjust the wage withholding to account for the taxes that they hold on tips so to ensure compliance they do this tip reporting program

thing with the IRS and so now they want to replace a lot of these existing programs and require employers to use these point-of-sale systems these POS systems that they have in all of these establishments so the POS would record all the sales subject to tipping etc and then they have to the employers they have to use these these transactions they have to have a a digital uh annual readout like a very detailed readout that they send to the IRS and they have to work they're required to report tips exceeding um this is uh from irs dot go the minimum threshold that includes all electronic tips charged you also have an estimate of the tips paid in cash an estimate and that's calculated

on the amount of sales that were subject to cash tips now she signed that she passed it Now, there was scrutiny on this. Heritage reported how when the IRS got that $80 billion in new funding, they were told that the funding was meant to crack down on the rich folks, right? The rich taxpayers and the rich corporations and the small businesses that made under, you know, 400K, they wouldn't have anything to worry about, you know, people who worked in hospitality or hospitably. What, how does she even say that? I don't even know how she said that. That they're not going to, that they're not going to be subject to any of this. Well, that's a bunch of absolute garbage because they absolutely are. they absolutely are IRS estimated that 10% of underreported individual income tax gap is from tips even though that only accounts for a fraction of income of U.S. income like a fraction of a percent

so they're targeting all of that she signed it this is the stuff that Trump needs to hit like okay who is Kamala running against she signed this bill she was the determining vote she had the authority. She had the discretion to say, no, I don't want this to pass.

Presiding over the Senate tiebreaker vote, she voted for it. Now she's going to turn around and say that she wasn't for the thing that she was the tie-breaking vote for. Well, that didn't make any sense. And you can't undo it. She can sit here and go out and say,

oh, I don't believe in Texan. You can't undo it. This is law now. So what is she going to do? That's what if we had actual people in the media and not activists, they would be asking her, Vice President Harris,

are you going to push for a repeal of this law that makes your promise about no taxation on tips impossible? You were the tie-breaking vote. How can you promise that you're not going to tax the tips when you were the deciding vote in favor of it? You think anybody's going to ask her this question? Do you think she's going to make herself available to be asked this question,

Why are you all voting for Kamala Harris? I don't want to lose my rights. Like, I'm a trans man and I'm gay, and I have been pregnant, and I've had an abortion before, and I don't want to lose that. I'm afraid of not being able to be myself anymore, because from what I've heard, Trump's America

doesn't want me to look like this. So that's why I'm here today. We don't care what, nobody cares what you look like, just keep the craziness away from us. Like, what is, okay, let me help, help me break this down for a moment. clearly it's like a chick it's a chick who wants to be a dude she's a trans man who's gay you're just a lesbian

why do you got to try to add like that's like saying that you're a democratic socialist it's like putting glitter on well democratic socialism is like putting glitter on a turd to say that you're a trans man and you're gay like a lesbian is the real thing like you just say you're a lesbian why do you why is she like does she hate lesbians it makes me think that there's like they think there's something wrong with being a, you can't be a woman and you can only be man and gay, you can't be a woman. I don't understand what I'm hearing here. I'm very confused. She had an abortion that doesn't want to lose. I am so confused. What is that?

Why can't she just say that she's a lesbian? Oh, it's not fancy enough? Oh my gosh. Not oppressive enough. We are in a time when apparently just being a lesbian is no longer fancy enough. sorry lesbians. You guys are just boring old beige. Old hotness. Yeah, you guys are just boring. Nobody cares. That's wild. That's

you know, you really don't hear a lot about lesbians anymore, you know that? It's all trans men's who are, and I've noticed in bread and circuses, none of the controversy had to do with women who wanted to pretend to be men and compete in men's sports. Kind of interesting too, right? Huh. I just, I'm fascinated by all of this.

I also don't, I'm not going to make fun of people's like goth appearances, although they're not goth. That's just, that's just hot topic threw up on them. But I stop trying to be special. Okay. Just stop. Stop with all the things. Stop trying to be precious. This is not.

No. We got a lot more on the way. We got, we do not get the Brent circuses. We have, waiting to you hear about some of the crazy, I have crazy leftist shenanigans. The latest with Harris. is walls and so much more stick with us. I agree with Annie Oakley who said, quote, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies. Now, I myself regularly concealed carry 9mm. Now that said, not every woman is like me, has had the hours of

training that I've had or feels comfortable around firearms due to years of use or maybe they're by a gun-free zone. I'd like to change that what I can while encouraging self-defense at the same time. So this is where Berna comes in. It's kind of like a starter weapon. It's they make a non-firearm firearm. I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women. And the Berna SD model shoots chemical irritant projectiles, 68 caliber rounds that can deter threats in their tracks up to 50 feet away. I mean, it is hard. Easy target acquisition zero recoil. Burna is legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks, no permits required. It's shipped directly to your door. Gun free isn't applicable to Burna.

It's great for wherever guns are banned. Visit burna.com slash Dana for 10% off. That's b-y-r-r-na.com slash Dana. I was Attorney General of a border state. I went after the transnational gangs, the drug cartels and human traffickers. I prosecuted them in case after case. And I won.

We know our immigration system is broken and we know what it takes to fix it. comprehensive reform that includes long border security and an earned pathway to citizenship. And she said transnational. I'm so used to hearing the trans stuff. I was like, wait a second, what? Welcome to the program.

Dana Lash with you. Top of the second hour. And this is, I mean, you know, she's the vice president of the United States. this was her on the campaign trail over the weekend and she's saying well you know I was I went after these gangs and no you didn't when did she ever do that

she's really trying to like rewrite her whole history with all of this when did she ever do that I don't remember she went down she had a new ad she has an ad out it's called tougher highlights her work when she was a prosecutor and then she was in the Senate and it goes fixing the border is tough

so it's Kamala Harris well you can tell this this hurt them you can tell his his attacks on this and the criticism of her record that stung because they now feel the need to do all of this so she the ads running in Arizona and Nevada and she's what they told the hill let me highlight this it said her campaign told the hill when they were writing about this that they are going to quote continue to hit Trump for his role in the failure of a border deal negotiated by a bipartisan group of senators, end quote. So that was the deal that was, wasn't that earlier this year that fell apart, like in spring of this year, the deal that fell apart? And it was this bill that was coming in the wake.

It was part of it was supposed to include funding for increased border patrol feet on the ground, more for force multipliers like buoys and, you know, the wall, et cetera, et cetera. And they wanted to spend the money on immigration judges. What was it like the, what do they call? It's not called a fentanyl scanner, but it was for that purpose of like scanning for fentanyl and all this other stuff. So they wanted, they wanted the money to be spent on ways to process people coming in illegally faster instead of stopping it. And so that's what the big deal was about.

And that's why it all fell apart because Democrats were like, well, if we just can't get what we want with open borders, then that's it. They didn't want to include any other funding for any of this other stuff. We don't need new immigration judges. We don't need any of that. I got to tell you, I was, and this is where I'm going to switch it up because I feel this is something I, particularly with regard to immigration, not just that I hear Kamala Harris talking about it. but I keep hearing this in a number of places, even places where I don't want to hear it. So I almost walked out of my church sermon this weekend. I have never felt like that in my entire life.

I am sitting there and it's kind of been building for a few years. I will say that it really kicked off during lockdown because I was angry that churches closed during lockdown and ours was no exception. And I was really upset that our church had closed and, you know, There's a lot of things that our church does with kids and, you know, women's clinics and things like that. And I was mad that all these services were stopping under bunk science, right? And then things reopened, et cetera.

And I noticed, you know, the language had been kind of shifting. And I think we, I don't want to put my, my pastor on blast or anything like that because I believe I'm very Boogamathie about this. I want to go, or not Book of Matthew. I'm very, you know, I agree with Paul's teaching. You know, you take care of this, you know, behind the scene. and you know, you talk to people than the church. And then when that, when all else fails, then you can go public.

But I've been talking to a lot of friends of mine. And I feel like there's like this huge, I feel like there's a major problem with Church of Christ pastors particularly lately, but a lot of problems with pastors in general. And there's been this language that's been seeping into these churches. I don't like mega churches. I don't like megach churches because I feel like it is the, they, they bash Catholicism while they want to make their own non-Catholic papists. that's what I feel like corporate worship and mecha churches are. I'm like, stay true to your mission or just, you know, don't bash, you know, I don't get the criticism. So we're sitting in the, we're sitting in the sermon and it had been building for a little bit. And my pastor says that he just goes right into it. He's like, I want to, I want a fair and safe border. He said it twice. And I looked at my youngest son who has zero tolerance for any of this. I don't want, I don't want my church to be politicized in favor of my. I'm in favor of my.

my beliefs are against them. It should just be scripture. There's no politicization about that. Either be scripture and just preach from the Bible or don't open your mouth. And there's a reason why the New Testament, you know, it talks about the responsibility that shepherds have. And, you know, I'm sitting there listening to this and I'm looking, and my husband was not happy. My kids were not happy. And there was zero differentiation made between people who come legal. And people who come and people who come illegally. And the intimation that the pastor gave in a very sloppy way of presenting this was that essentially if you have a problem with the complete deluge at the border and the complete unfettered crossing of every single person, then you're a racist. And the church

has been really trying to push to expand ethnicity in the church or diverse ethnicity, et cetera. And I think that when church has pushed things too hard, you make an idol of things and they're making an idol of all of these other things other than what they should be talking about in scripture. But I was really, I was like, what is a fair and safe border? And then he misrepresented and said, you know, these assailies that are coming over. Do you realize that assailies are such a tiny fraction of people that are coming over? And there's a reason for that. When someone comes over as an assailee and that's processed as such, there are certain things that kick in as because of that. That's why it's not just, it's not semantics. Language matters because certain legal protections

and certain parts of the law are triggered when certain words are used. And when people who say it's a game of semantics, the people who say that either are too stupid to have this debate, they don't know enough about the law to lecture about it, or they're completely clueless about the laws that make up the system in this republic. I mean, words matter for a reason. And there's a tiny percentage of these people that are coming across the border that are actually a silees.

You know, I told you about the woman that I spoke with, she's a businesswoman. And I don't want to say her name and I don't want to say what her business is, but they were from a South American country. And when she was a child, she and her mother and sibling had to flee in the dead of night and seek asylum protection. She, one of her father and brother had a construction company and the brother got roped into money laundering for the cartel. And when he passed away, the father discovered, I mean, it's like a television series. The father discovered it and was like, and he was a devout Christian and was not going to allow this, was not going to do it.

and if he had to die as a, you know, as a way to stand up against a cartel that was going to happen. So they killed him. They killed him. They bombed her house. She said that when they were leaving, she was looking at the chart out, her chart out swing set when they were fleeing. And they came to the United States as a Cilis. There's a cap on how many of Cilis the United States can accept in a single year. And it's a very small number. So when you have people, most of these people coming across the border are young, military-aged men. In fact, they're predominantly men, predominantly young men, and it's not just men coming from Latin American countries. There are Chinese nationals coming in. There are Middle Eastern nationals coming in. There are African nationals coming in.

And when you have every Tom Dick and Harry claiming asylum status, what about the people who actually are assailies because they do exist that are turned away because it's capped? That's what none of these people realized. And I'm sitting here listening to my pastor just toss this like it's beads at Mardi Gras without any actual full force of knowledge behind it. can't just say things that you think validate your bias. And as a shepherd, you have a greater responsibility to your flock than that. And I get doubly aggravated because, you know, I'm like, there's the reason my Paul was telling women to be silent in the church. I get mad because I'm like, who else is going to speak up and say something about this? I was looking at a CEM in that

sanctuary and not a single one of them excite from my husband and the men sitting with me were disgruntled at the lies that were being spouted from behind the pulpit. There is something going wrong with our churches. Yes, our country, but I think it's started in our churches. I'm sitting there listening to this and I'm like, I cannot believe the venom that is being spat. For what? You can say that you want safe legal border crossings. And it is biblical to respect the laws of your land. Book of Romans highlights this. It is absolutely biblical to respect. the law of the land. You know what isn't biblical is to misrepresent and to castigate people sitting there in your

pews who are going there to learn about Jesus and to castigate them and impugn their characters and yoke them to the moral failing of bigotry because you don't know the facts of the matter. I was on fire Sunday. if people ever doubted the existence of God his hand was on my head keeping me seated because I was about ready to shoot through that roof I was livid and I still am if you can't tell

I'm not listening to him say this stuff and that wasn't the only thing he said stuff like this before I remember there was another time Botham John was a black man who was who was shot and killed you remember the whole story of Bothampton, Jean. He was in his own apartment. There was a woman. She was a police officer, Dallas PD. She came back. She pulled like an 18-hour shift or something crazy. Walked into the wrong apartment. She thought it was her apartment. And it wasn't. The door was

unlocked. It was Botham John. I think he was like eating ice cream or something in his own kitchen. And she shot and killed him. And it was a big thing. Well, our, and it was already a bad situation enough. And yes, she was in the wrong. She killed him. We talked about that inlessly on this program. But what didn't help was when our pastor got up on stage and said, yes, we know, you know, more black people are killed by police every year. I'm like, that's not even supported by statistic. That's not even supported by FBI figures. Why would you go up there and misrepresent things and further incite and divide? That is not a hallmark of Christ. Nor is it a sign of a good shepherd. It's venomous. And I question the motivation behind it. And I am tired of having

to sit in a church service and try to dig through the pastor's political bias to get to the heart of the message that he's delivering. Now we had a debate in our family. I'm like, well, what do we do? Because I'm wanting to leave. I'm done. And we have some members of our family, my oldest son, too, who's very temperate. And I was like, well, you know, the church, the church is under attack as well. The pastor's under attack. He's not infallible. I'm like, I agree. Well, you know, shouldn't you want to help him and get him on the right path? I agree. I tried that before, though. after the line that he had said about the police shooting deaths, I wrote, I don't like inaccessible pastors. I shouldn't have to go through for people that criticize the Catholic Church.

I shouldn't have to go through a million different levels of hierarchy just to talk to my pastor. Never got a response. I don't expect a response because of what I do. I expect a response because I'm a member of the congregation. And I had a legitimate criticism and I brought receipts. Never heard anything. I finally got like an email back out. Thanks for the all right.

I'm like, are you serious? I have a problem with mega churches. I have a problem with corporate worship. I have a problem with churches that bash everything else. And oh, we don't like the Pope. We don't like Catholicism. We don't like this or that. But we're going to sit here and create that.

But we're different because we're not Catholics. We're going to create the non-Catholic papacy with corporate churches here in the U.S. I get aggravated by all of it. And I'm aggravated with my own church right now. I'm aggravated with the state of the, of the kingdom on earth. And I don't know. I don't, I, I'm not, I don't plan on going back next Sunday.

I don't know if you guys have experienced something like this in your church. And I do think that, yes, you know, you got a responsibility, you stand up for your pastor, all this other stuff. But what happens when they're not receptive? What happens when they don't want to listen? What happens when their hearts have hardened because of political extremism? Our awesome friends at Keltec, which reminds me, I've got to show you like some of the stuff that I've gotten recently.

and put it up on Instagram. I've just, it's been kind of a little bit busy with my pup, and he's not range trained yet. So we're, oh gosh, he'd probably freak out.

It's like a James Bond gun. It's just real cool. I like it. It's for fancy care. You know, you get your polymer for your EDC. And then, you know, if you want to fancy it up, if, you know, you can have the wood grip panel out there. You need both, basically. Tridiumin fiber optic front side, fully adjustable fiber optic two dot rear.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Salt Lake City Flight to Vegas was forced to divert because Latin struck the plane.

Y'all made God angry. I'm kidding. No. So my grandmother would have said that's the fanger of the heavens coming down. I'm kidding. Salt Lake City Flight, though, was headed to Vegas, forced to divert. It was struck by lightning. Now, I know that planes are supposed to be able to handle that stuff.

but telling someone who's nervous about it that planes are supposed to be able to handle that stuff and can doesn't make it better. It really doesn't, but it did have to divert. It was delayed an hour. They had air traffic troubles of all things at Harry Reid International Airport in Vegas. They had severe turbulence.

I mean, it was, you know, some turbulence, and they landed safely, and so that's, you know, they did everything right. They did everything possible. Everybody was okay. So a UK police commissioner, we're going to talk about this coming up, threatens to extradite and jail U.S. citizens over online posts.

Oh, you can come and try that here, if you would like. It'll be Lexington and Concord 1775 all over again. I mean, you can come here and you can try that. We'll be your huckle bears. That's all right. Yeah, he says, we'll come after you. With what? Your little sticks?

Because y'all can't even carry. What are you going to come after us with? What? Like, stop it. This is literally stop. You lofts your back? Stop. It's true.

It's true. A Delray restaurant named a New Berger. after Alexandria Olympian and you finish the burger in under 9.7 seconds and it's free. It's, can I say, it's one of those big burgers that you have to use a knife and fork to eat. And I really, I need to have, we need to have a whole separate conversation about how burgers should not require a knife and fork. And you shouldn't have to press down on them like a hydraulic press to flatten them to get them to fit in one's mouth.

You shouldn't have to do it. Stop it with that. That's like all the accoutrements. Somebody puts in a bloody mirror. You order when you get a chicken wing and some celery and all this. Stop it.

It would have been down on the wire. But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races. And I was concerned if... I stayed in the race, that would be the topic. You'd be interviewing about why did Nancy Pelosi say? Why did someone? And I thought it would be a real distraction.

You know what it is basically? Biden's just a coward. He is an ineffectual coward who got run out like Elijah Lovejoy. He was run out on a rail. It's exactly what it is by the Democrat Party. That's why. And he's just an absolute coward. And now he's been relegated to what?

I don't know what he's doing anymore. Every now and then they bring him out just be like, no, we still got somebody in there. Here he is. That's it. That's it. Right there. Welcome back to the program.

Dana Lash here with you. Top of our, or sorry, bottom of our second hour. It, I mean, it's, it's, his, I thought that interview, it was just a sad little interview that he gave. That was one of the things he had,

it was a nice little pre tape that he ran. But he is. He's kind of, I mean, he's a, he's a coward. He got run out. He got pushed out by all the same people that said that he's completely fine. He know he's great. He's going to run. He's a great person. Oh, believe it. He can handle it. He can handle all of this stuff. That's all the same people who pushed him out were assuring the nation of. So he sat down with, he was talking, by the way, it was on CBS with Robert Costa. And I do think I will give Costa some credit in that he asked. asked Biden about the situation with Pelosi and how Pelosi came to be the one who kind of shoved him out at the end. And he tried to act like it was all his, it was his idea, it was his plan. And I think that's the intimation he was trying to give that it wasn't anyone who did it for him. But we all know. I mean, he kind of let the cat out of the bag with that.

we knew it was. I mean, he said that, well, you have Pelosi here. This, I thought, was very interesting. She said this towards the end of last week after our program, but she was never impressed with Biden's off. Listen to this. Back then, I've never been that impressed with his political operation. Biden's operation. Yeah, I'm not. I mean, I just hadn't it. But so my concern was this ain't happening. and we have to make a decision for us that's to happen. And the president has to make the decision for that to happen. Wow. Yeah, she's, dang, right, I'd say so, dang. She's just digging the knife in and twisting it.

And then she switches, Audio Sumbite 15, she did an interview over the weekend. She switches, and now here she is trying to build up Kamala. Listen. Officially, she's strong about the, the issues, you see one of them, that the woman's right to choose, but there's so many others. She's strong in that regard, officially, and politically she's very astute, and people just don't realize that. She won against the incumbent for a district attorney. She won in a very competitive race for attorney general, but she figured it out. But she didn't win a race for, to be on the

president, to be the presidential nominee. I mean, they ended up, how weird is it that the person who came in last place in the Democrat primary in 2020 behind Pete Buttigieg is their nominee now, but not because voters picked her. They're really trying to sell voters on her. They've been hiring all of these influencers. We talked about that last week. And the Trump campaign, Republicans are going to have to really make sure that they are very disciplined and that they are very focused. And they need to make sure that it is Kamala running against Kamala. I mean, she's, you know, the vice president. I mean, She presides over the Senate. We talked about how she cribbed the whole no tax on tips thing.

But yet she was the person who was the deciding vote on the inflation reduction act that expanded the IRS, added 88,000 agents and absolutely demanded increased taxation on tips in addition to Venmo and PayPal and all this other stuff. So that's what they need to remind everyone of of her record on this. But Biden's, he actually named Tractor in that interview that he, so he finally, so there's no love loss, I think, between Pelosi and Biden. Biden's done. He is absolutely done at this point. He better hurry up and pardon Hunter because if they have to throw Hunter Biden out as a sacrificial lamb, to save anything. Democrats will, they will do that in a heartbeat, in a heartbeat. So this stolen valor with Tim Walts, you know, he referenced being on the tarmac at Bogram during a ramp scene. ceremony in a 2021 speech. There are so much stuff coming out about him. We shared the comments earlier that had been made from, I mean, his actual, like, Boston charges commander. We were talking about this on Facebook, retired Colonel John Colb, who was the battalion commander. and he was Walsh's direct supervisor and he absolutely blasted him on

Facebook and he was Facebook or Instagram nobody in the press has reached out to this guy and talked to him. Meanwhile, the Soul and Valor stuff continues this is a flashback interview that Wals did. Audio somebody 31 wherein he said and this is being debunked that he was on the tarmac at Bogram

during he didn't but he didn't serve over there. Listen. The years that happened after that classroom, I had the privilege of serving in this state's National Guard. And when I left, I had a two-year-old. When I came home, I had a three-year-old. But as I listened to Jill and I listened to Mariah, the guilt. I came home. And my daughter went on. And when you're two and three, she knew no difference. That's not true for some. They can't do that. And over the preceding years of watching, us and as our nation changed and as our political systems became more more difficult for all of us to understand, I stood one night in the dark of night on the tarmac at Bogrum and watched a

military ramp ceremony. And if you've seen it, which these folks, many have unfortunately, you don't leave the same. This is going on way too long, but you guys get the idea. That's unbelievable. I mean, he said this in 2021, a 9-11 observance speech. And he went, he was there, and he didn't clarify this. He attended as a member of Congress in Afghanistan and Iraq for a trip. But he never actually clarified in what, when he was giving his remarks in what capacity he was there. And further, there's more. he, this is, I'm trying to see what audio, I'm going to have to restart my, yeah, so this is, yeah, this is audio

Sunday 6th where he's, he is introduced as a retired command sergeant major, and he never corrects any of this, ever, listen. Try and gain support of it. You know, Congressman's a retired Army command sergeant major with time in combat. I think he called this entirely correctly. This process is important. It's got to be deliberate. Because once embarked, and his 42,000 killed. the wounded so far, this is going to be tough work. It's murky for me. I need to have one quick answer for both you.

Is there a middle course between giving the general in the field the 40,000 troops he wants and saying no? So he's introduced in this clip as retired command sergeant major. He never corrected it. He never corrected it, ever. And he's got the challenge coin that he handed out to people. talked about that. He has a challenge coin that he was handing out to folks that had his, an E9 rank that he never had. He never actually was never cemented that he had printed on it. I mean, it just, this is wild. Nobody is asking about this. Instead, what they've been doing is trying to play like what aboutism? The media. They're trying to, I noticed this too. This was, um, Wikipedia scrubbed. Vance's military awards from its website after it was revealed that Tim Wals, you know,

was lying about his. Someone goes, Wikipedia has been hijacked. Wikipedia has been a cesspool of garbage forever. About maybe, maybe 60% of my Wikipedia is even accurate. Like, they were getting my hometown wrong on Wikipedia. They would not allow me to put my fourth book up on Wikipedia. They have like, it's just like a bunch of leftist nonsense that they say. site. There's a reason why Wikipedia is not even allowed in a court of law as like a legitimate substantial evidence. You can't

because it's not credible. But they, Wikipedia was erasing all of his military awards. They deleted it because they didn't want to have to compete against the stolen valor of Tim Walls. And then I hate, every time I see the, oh, will you donate to Wikipedia?

I exit out immediately and I enjoy doing that greatly because I enjoy not giving them any donations because it's a garbage, garbage website. They do this stuff all the time. It's crazy, crazy, crazy. There was actually at one point in Wikipedia, there was someone that has my name, my maiden name,

my first and maiden name, who also lived in the county that I lived in, and Wikipedia was literally trying to attribute some of that person's life to my life and other people were arguing it, apparently, and they wouldn't change it? Is that not unbelievable? And you can't edit your own stuff at Wikipedia?

I've never had the time to do that, but you apparently, even if I wanted to, I couldn't. They won't let you. How unbelievable is that? Yeah, that's all crazy. It's all crazy. It's such garbage. It's a bunch of leftists that sit around on government benefits, and that's all they do all day. That's all they do.

So media is, they're helping to save Tim Walls on this. They're helping to save him. J.D. Vance addressed that one of his interviews, Audio Soundby 2. Listen. And I think that the most important thing here, Dana, is it goes to, Kamala Harris's judgment. Tim Walts is ultimately going to be the vice president. Kamala Harris is in great health. I'm sure she's going to be president if she wins for four or maybe even eight years. Why did Kamala Harris choose a person who has lied about their military service?

I think that is a serious lapse in judgment. And I don't want to hear from a campaign spokesperson of Kamala Harris. I want to hear Kamala Harris herself address what I just said. You know, I've seen a lot of statements from veterans, including those you serve with saying, It's just untoward to be criticizing somebody who served for 24 years. Dana, I'm not interested in the ad homonym. I've heard from a lot of veterans groups who criticized Tim Walts. The question is he said he served in war, and he didn't. That is a dishonesty.

I really, I couldn't care less what one or the other person says about it. I care about what the truth is. Yeah, and he did. His rank, and I thought there was a good point that Vance made. You know, there are pictures of his challenge coin. he put command sergeant major on his congressional challenge coin. He has that on his challenge coin that he handed out to everybody. Kind of a big issue, isn't it?

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. I just send these headlines. I just don't even know what's happening. All right. So for thump, we've got I don't know where to start. We've got the, a video.

This is crazy. Do we have this video? So it's a Florida man who's getting arrested. It's in Southwest Miami-Dade. I can't play. Can we actually play it? Are we safe to play it? No audio.

Okay, no audio. If we're going to be safe and not have any audio. Okay. So it's... Censored. It's censored. Okay. I just hit you again. What the f*** do about it?

For the first time, we are seeing body camera video when Miami Day police say they were assaulted by a quadriplegic man. The case so unusual, even the judge at first appearance seemed surprised. I have truly never seen a case like this. It happened May 1st. Police were called to the Southwest Miami-Dade home of Brian Amasta. Also known as El Valenti, M.T, his stage name when he's performing music. According to the report, Amasa and his mother seen here in red were involved in an argument. But when mom is put in handcuffs, this happens.

Hey, stop hitting me with a chair, Brian. Stop doing that. When we interviewed Amasa back then, he told us this. They claimed that I hit them with my wheelchair. Did you? I absolutely did not. The report stated that you spit at an officer. Right.

So I have, I suffered from acid reflux so I normally spit. and I expect like the totally different direction. But this is the video. You want to listen to not? Oh my assa also told us he felt humiliated during his arrest. And you f***ing that me, bro! Because he was separated from his motorized wheelchair, which he says was damaged when it was put on a flat bed.

You see one officer appearing to text someone, joking that they were going to put him on the tow truck. Officers later seen inspecting their legs, Amasa charged with two counts, of battery on a law enforcement officer. Yeah. So there you go right there. So that's one Florida man.

Yeah, all right. So that's, okay. Good. Yeah, we got that. Glad we got that one in. Oh, my word. A Florida man got revenge on an in-law's neighbor. The nightmare neighbor cut down his mom's tree,

so he got revenge. It's a British Florida man who apparently got mad over his mother-in-law's neighbor. They cut down a bunch of palm trees that separated their property. And so he formed a privacy hedge. And so they, and it was for their pool. What do they call those the little, the lun-eye? Is it like a lanai? Is that what it is? Where they have the glass-in pool. I don't understand. It's a Florida thing. And so they basically are cutting down all the grain around each other's property. That's what. And there's like different videos. I can't, we can't actually show the, well, we can show part of it. But don't show the part where they say the

blanky neighbor. Gotta be careful with that one. So he built a 68 feet of planter, a planter box, boxes. And I guess trying to dare the neighbor into doing something there. So I don't. The planter boxes look great, though. The planter boxes do look great, I have to say. They look very nice.

So I don't know if that was like intentional from the neighbor that cut the trees down or what. But like it ended up looking a lot very nice. So we have this. We also got the Florida man who, I got the people, oh gosh, I don't want the people at the adult store. And I really don't want the people who went to Taco Bell, husband and wife went to Taco Bell, and then they end up getting into a fight,

and they threw the entirety of the contents of the bag of Taco Bell at each other. During the fight and the woman, because she was seen by police throwing the burrito at her husband's head, was the one who got arrested. We have a third hour on the way. Yeah, stay with us. What I would so to those people who think they've got away with being involved in the disorder on Tuesday or on Saturday, you absolutely haven't got away with it. We are coming for you. We've got hours of social media footage. We've got hours of CCTV footage.

I've got offices working round the clock to identify who you are, where you live, where you work. We are coming for you. We'll be coming you for the next few days. We'll be coming for you the next few months. So you might get to next week. You might be sitting with a cup of tea thinking, if you've got away with it, please let me reassure you. you haven't got away with it, we are coming for you. You will feel the full force of the law. We absolutely, I want to reassure the communities that we are absolutely able to cope with what's going on. We have got eight PSUs here in Merseyside today. So what do I mean by a PSU?

Each PSU has one inspector, three sergeants and 21 officers. That gives you the scale of the number of offices that we've got here able to respond, being supported by colleagues from across the north-west. So yes, we are equipped. Are the officers who are getting injured having an impact? it is but we absolutely have sufficient resources to cope. Wow. So that's

good night. That's so crazy. So this is in the UK because they're quite upset as you know over the writing that's taken place all across the United Kingdom came due to the fact that they've got

unfettered illegal immigration with boats arriving on the daily. I don't think you're getting away But be it on social media. You're not getting away with that. And you can't talk nasty about any of this. You can't say, you can't talk about the riots. Can't talk about any of it because they'll come get you.

What is she going to do? What are they going to come get you with? Sticks? They're not even allowed to be armed. They aren't even allowed to be armed. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you at the top of this third hour. We're already at the third hour.

And I'm, you know, I got to tell you, it's just wild. whole thing is crazy. They're just going nuts over there. They're going wild over social media. And the, I'm like looking at a couple of these headlines. Bear with me here. I'm looking at a couple of these. They're going wild because they see social media posts.

They have this, um, this statute that they've had in place for a number of years. But if you, if you, if you incite on social media, then they will like arrest you. There were people that had like what a van that was wrapped with a pro-Christian message and they were arresting people for talking about their Christian faith openly over there. I mean, this is just it's really, this is one of the reasons why people have been writing because the UK has been just hammering its own citizens and hammering its own citizens, but yet the people who have been involved with aggression, the criminality,

the violence, etc. They've been getting slaps on the wrists. And that's one of the reasons why that people have kind of had it and they've had these protests and then riots from some of these protests break out across Britain. And you had all of this really kicked off when they had the kids that were murdered by this 18-year-old British citizen born to Rwandan parents. And he went on the stabbing spray. and this is after, you know, you've had decades of the Rotherham stuff.

This is how you've had people attacked, terrorist attacks, you know, people driving their cars into people. It's been, there's been a lot of, a lot of stuff has been building. And so this was sort of, you know, the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. And it's, they've accused Elon Musk of somehow being culpable because people are able to speak on X. And so they've been. you know, kind of culpable with us. It's just wild. It's just, I mean, I, and then if you're in the United States,

they've been threatening to try, oh, well, we'll extradite you. I tweeted about that, I think it was over the weekend, where they'll extradite, they'll look into extradition possibilities if you're, you know, inciting or speaking against what they're trying to do in the UK. I mean, we had 1776 already, but they have no freedom over there. They said,

Sky News talked to their police commissioner and they said that the likes of Elon Musk. Like that's how they referred to him. They were spitting his name. Being a keyboard warrior doesn't make you safe from the law. What? This is crazy. Now remember, they consider mere disagreement incitement.

If you even so much as post a a photo of people protesting that's considered incitement. I mean, it's entirely up to them. Again, these are also the same law enforcement over in UK that visited this, she was like, what, a 14-year-old girl. She was on the autism spectrum, and they were targeting her because she saw a short-haired female police officer and thought that that police officer, by nature of having short hair, must be a lesbian like her grandmother, who has short hair and apparently was a lesbian.

and the female police officer took offense and targeted the girl and the parents were trying to explain or the mother was trying to explain to the officer look this is how she interprets stuff she's not doing this with malicious intent she's just simply stating so oh my gosh and they were targeted they were going to drag this kid away this is the stuff that they have to deal with over there you have no freedom of speaking cane does it make you want to go over to britain anytime soon me neither it does make you want to post stuff here just to see if they'll extradite to see if they'll do the extradition I'm looking for this one story where they had examples of what they were trying to say was incitement. And it literally was just like people posting a disagreement with how the police were handling certain of these cases. And that's not an incitement. That's, I mean, people have a free, I mean, that's a responsibility and expectation in the United States to be able to criticize your governing authorities. But over there, they, they characterize it as incitement so as to scare people off from criticizing their governing authorities. See, that's the whole thing. That's

the whole plan. I mean, good heavens. Kier Starrmer, the prime minister through his spokesperson, was saying there's no justification for Elon Musk's comments on. Musk hasn't, he criticized Starmor's response to the riots. And he was like, you know, this guy's leading the UK towards a civil war. I mean, these are all labor policies too, by the way. And Kier Starrmer gets mad and said, oh, Elon Musk is inciting hate. And then they're acting like they're, he's having this interview.

Let me pull this up. He's having this interview. with Trump. And I think I accidentally closed it, but he apparently there's like a, they're trying to, apparently, I guess, regulate how his conversation goes or something like that. The EU wants to dictate how Musk is going to conduct his conversation with Trump on X. The European Commission sent, I'm pulling this up, sent Musk this letter, where, wherein they were telling him, quote, I'm writing to you in the context of recent events in the United Kingdom and in the relation to the planned broadcast on your platform X of a live

conversation between a U.S. presidential candidate in yourself, which will also be accessible to users in the EU. And they said, they add him, they tell him, quote, I'm compelled to remind you of the due diligence obligations set out in the Digital Services Act, as outlined in my previous letter. And as the individual entity ultimately controlling a platform with over 300 million users worldwide, one of which one third is in the EU has been designated a very large online platform, which, sorry bar, they capitalize that, very large online platform. Is that like a thing over there? Is that like an actual classification? Is that? They continue, you have the legal obligation to ensure excess compliance with EU law, and in particular the DSA in the EU. So they said that

they're demanding mitigation measures put in place regarding the amplification of harmful content in connection with relevant events. They said they want informing EU judicial and

administrative authorities with without undue delay on the measures taken to address their orders against contact considered illegal according to national or EU law, etc., etc., they get into they remind him that they already have formal proceedings going on against X under the DSA. Notably in areas linked to dissemination of illegal content and effectiveness of measures taken to combat disinformation.

It's not disinformation, I mean it's actual people's videos from like protests and riots, etc. They're like threatening him, though. They said that any negative effect of illegal content on X in the EU, which they add could be attributed to the ineffectiveness of the way in which X applies the relevant provisions of the DSA. may be relevant in the context of the ongoing proceedings and overall assessment of X's compliance with the EU law. This is in line with which has already been done in recent past. And they get in, so they're threatening them. Like, don't talk about any of the stuff. Don't show any of the stuff.

Don't get in any of any of the stuff. And Terry Breton. And then they have the CEO of X-Ced. So they're seeing this conversation and they're threatening it because they can't shut X off. so they're threatening him essentially. This is wild. I mean, it's not anybody else's fault that the EU is having, that the EU is having an immigration problem,

that the UK is having this kind of issue, that they're seeing an uptick and crime and assault and murders and etc. violent crimes. And to talk about that is an incitement, nor is it misinformation, disinformation, or anything else that they, any way that they want to spin this. Just something else.

He's, but immediately, Kierre Starmer has been in office very long, and he and Musk already dislike each other. Kier Starmar is a far, far left, Marxist. He's a Marxist. He's a Marxist. He's a labor leader, but he's a Marxist. And that's, and he's

essentially tripled down on continuing all of the same policies that have put the UK in this, in this position. He was against Brexit, all this other stuff. So, I mean, this is just, it's, it's, it's, this is pretty unbelievable. I mean, it's not unbelievable. I mean,

I believe it. It's just the fact that they were even looking to see how far their tentacles could stretch here over the United States with something like this. Goodness. Can you imagine what it would be like if Musk didn't own X? I honestly think that some people like Zuckerberg, et cetera, Facebook, I will say Facebook never worked with China or Bentonita, China. That's why they have their own similar platform. But I do wonder how strongly some of these other platforms would have held on the issue of speech had it not been for Musk taking over X. and running it the way that he's running it

and trying to unravel a lot of the algorithmic censorship that's been taking place. I do wonder. Some of the other things we're keeping an eye on. This is an actual headline from speaking of media from Bloomberg press, which I hate. Ready for this one?

Tim Walz's masculinity is terrifying to Republicans. They are really trying to shape him as like this crazy outdoorsman, the Midwest dad. They are trying so hard to sell him like this. They say that this is the subhead. Kamala Harris's running mate has traditional manly man traits. He's also not frightened of women, afraid of black people,

or terrified of the future. That's their headline. That's an actual headline that they have. That's one of the dumbest things that I've ever read in my life. I that doesn't oh my gosh this is now do you see you have the time cover where they're lionizing Kamala Harris you have this over from Bloomberg uh they've been trying to protect walls the media from all of the criticisms over the stolen valor I'm waiting for one of them to call the actual retired the veterans that that he that he served with and under I'm waiting for them

to call them liars because isn't that what the press does I'm waiting for the press to attack all of these people who served with Walson have been very hypercritical, I mean, completely justifiably so of his lies about his service. And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right. So first up, Home Depot, a Home Depot employee in her 70s was fired for failing to stop $5,000 in fraudulent transactions. according to a lawsuit.

Doesn't this go again, like if they tried to stop, like, theft before, wouldn't people get in trouble? Anyway, she didn't stop fraudulent transactions. She got fired. And this was at apparently a Home Depot, the same one three months after a loss prevention officer was shot and killed trying to stop a theft attempt.

And she felt threatened by the guy that was at the... Yeah, so why would you... Maybe higher armed security. It sounds like the store has an issue. It's in San Ramon, California. It sounds like the store has an issue. issue. Maybe higher arm security and don't expect the 72 year old to take the hits for you. Good grief. State Fair of Texas is no longer allows firearms on fairgrounds. Well, I won't be going to the damn

state fair. That's good grief. Yeah, they're not going to allow. They said there was a shooting that injured three people last year. So you had gang activity that resulted in a shooting. So of course, obviously, let's make it to where the law-abiding people who could actually curtail some of this stuff. You know, heaven forbid if somebody decides to pop off, let's make it to where, where nobody can carry. I'm tired of the law abiding always having to pay the penalty for criminals. And that's it. It includes you can't

it doesn't matter if you have a license or not. And because the State Fair of Texas is a private non for profit organization, they can do that on the state fairground. So I'm going to tell you there is no way. In the 22 year old, by the way, he was a prohibited possessor already with a criminal record.

And he, there's no, and so he was already violating the law. So now because one criminal continued to violate the law, now they won't allow anyone to carry. So I won't be going. There's no way in hell would I go to the state fair. If they're not going to allow you to carry, no way, because they do not make sure that they have enough people there to make sure everyone's protected. So it's just a, no, not at all. Let's see here.

Drones born New York City residents about storm flooding, but the Spanish translation drew tons of mockery, apparently. they had the drones flying overhead in some neighborhoods and people were saying that literally wasn't Spanish. That was incomprehensible. They said they couldn't find anybody who spoke Spanish to actually deliver that alert. They said it sounded like a literal Google translation. Oh, goodness. I mean, it's serious that when you're wanting people to listen to what the weather reports are.

Yeah, did Jill Biden do it? It was probably Jill Biden that they had just do the good night. We have Stephen Yates who is coming up next. Stick with us. Keep your finger on the Pulse with a Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis, whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Kamala Harris has done nothing about this. She should apply diplomatic and economic leverage over the Chinese to stop manufacturing this fentanyl, which then comes into the Mexican drug cartels, which they then ship into our country. The United States has designated some of these groups and press the Chinese government. Oh, we could do so much more.

Fidnail is not easy to manufacture, Margaret. And if Harris was applying proper leverage to the Chinese and the Mexican drug cartels, we would not have so many people dying in FITNs. How do you do that? What's your vision of how you do that? Well, I think you walk into Beijing, you talk to Xi Jinping and you say, your entire economy is going to collapse unless you get access to American markets. You need to take this fentanyl seriously, or we are going to impose serious tariffs and economic

penalties for not following our laws and not helping us. stem the flow of this deadly poison. I think there's something, too, that I don't know if it's just as easy as walking into Beijing, though, and telling Xi Jinping that this is what's going to happen because I don't know if that's, I don't know if that's necessarily the way to do it. I also think it's weird that everybody, no one has asked in the media about the Harris Wall's tickets, connections to China. That's what's so weird to me.

There has not been, and I was looking over the weekend, there hasn't really been any deep dives into this at all. And Wals and Harris haven't sat down to answer any questions about any of this. So I just think it's weird that a guy that purposely selects to get married on the University of the Atinem and Square massacre, that's messed up. Okay. That's weird. Let's bring in for on the, that's weird. I didn't even mean for that. On the scale of one to 10, it's a 20. Our good friend, Stephen Yates, who is also the great adjudicator of what is weird as it pertains to China. You can follow him on X at Yatescoms. And he's your fellow at America First Policy Institute as well as chair of the China Initiative, China Policy Initiative. So I wanted to get, first off, I kind of wanted to get

your thoughts on the whole ticket. It's, I find it strange that there hasn't been a greater interest from our press, just on the basis of self-preservation alone as a nation, that we have someone who might be maybe as compromised, if not more compromised than the first son with a geopolitical foe in this vice presidential pick. And I think it further highlights Harris's, you know, complete inability to make proper judgments. Well, Lena, I think there's an unspoken rule out there that the media, the broad mainstream, has adopted that they shall ask no questions. You're allowed to ask, well, how lovely was your conversation with your family? You're allowed to ask, how did you pick out that beautiful outfit? But you're not.

allowed to ask why did you honeymoon in a communist country? You didn't, you're not allowed to ask, you know, so how did you make best friends with the Communist Party of China and make it a personal project with your wife to take people to China, not just once or twice, but often over many, many years and have them come visit you too. I mean, that's a degree of engagement and friendship. People can do it if they want, but at least ought to be worthy of some questions. And oh, by the way, if you're going to get a security clearance, you get scrubbed for like the last 15 plus years of all of your travel and interactions. And they especially scrub over normal people for any interactions with foreigners, especially those from communist countries. And so why wouldn't you subject the running mate at least to a little bit of this?

And it's just the media has intentionally turned off on this subject. I think it's awful. They've got to start pressing on this. China's our largest geo-strategic foe. And if the vice president potential nominee is going to be a problem, we ought to know about it and talk about it. I think that's a really good point talking with our friend Stephen Yates, because he went, from what I understand it was like in the 90s when he went. And he's been, Tim Walsh has been there like 30 some odd time. Some of it was apparently paid for by the Chinese government. I put it in perspective with all of us because I remember when Tiananmen Square happened, I was a little kid and I was a little kid. in elementary school. But I knew it was big and bad and there was some serious stuff that was happening. And nobody is untouched from the image of the tank man. You know, that is like the iconic image. And I knew what that was, even at a very young age. And this guy, I mean, it seemed pretty hostile in China after that. And that's the time that he chooses to go and honeymoon over there. Well, remember, there was a popular Democrat at the time known as Bill Clinton.

who ran for president in the 1992 cycle saying that it was the butchers of Beijing. And that was after the Tiananmen Square massacre. Nancy Pelosi had just kind of settled on to the national scene. And she was very, very vocal critic of the communist government in Beijing and an advocate for human rights. The first two years of the Clinton administration was meant to be some kind of a course corrective away from the realist foreign policy of Bush. 41 that engaged with the government of Beijing after Tiananmen because we were still balancing the Soviet Union through the end of that enterprise. So there's a whole different world from that period, but a lot of the Democratic Party at that

time would have found Walses' activities as out of the mainstream and the likes of Nancy Pelosi wouldn't have been advocating that he'd be a running mate under those circumstances. that she would have been eviscerating him for engaging with the Butchers of Beijing back in the 1990s. That is great context to know. That is very good context to know because that really kind of cements just how far left, you know, Walls is when you look at these other sort of stalwarts of the party, the Clintons and, you know, the Pelosi's, even the Bernie Sanders is. I mean, what does it, what does it tell you about, and heaven forbid, you know, November goes sideways? What does it indicate to you the approach to China would be under a Harris-Walls administration, knowing everything seems to be so precariously perched right now as it is? Well, under normal circumstances, I would say that a vice presidential nominee's point of view would have marginal impact.

It could have some significant areas of impact, but the president will be in charge. But when you have a top of a ticket who has no opinions or policies declared, at all. There's literally more donation buttons on her campaign page than there are policy papers on her campaign page. And when you have a vacuum at the top, then you have to look, well, if we know she's not going to be driving an agenda on engagement or confrontation with China, then what's this dude's impact going to be? And you'd have to go back to say, well, what did he do with his governor? And what did he do before he was governor? And did he say things like, well, I don't consider them to be an absolute. adversary? Well, yes, he did. I do consider them to be an adversary. And just to echo what you let on, A-freaking mend to J.D. Vance for saying, unleash the economic hounds on Beijing for killing

Americans with fentanyl. And if you're not willing to sign up for that, then you don't have a policy. But we can't expect that from Minnesota nice. Oh, that's a really good point. A good way of putting it, our friend Stephen Yates. We're talking to him. about all of this with the ticket, everything else. You know, on that topic as well, Harris doesn't have, I get, I get vibes of, I get Obama Biden vibes,

whereas Biden was added to the ticket to give like this like statesman gravita because Obama was, you know, this freshman senator out of Illinois, didn't really have much of a record. He needed some kind of weight added to it. And I'm wondering if that's sort of the approach with Harris, which then makes me think,

okay, if they were elected, the tariff thing's never going to happen. there's never going to be there's not going to be any kind of sanctions there's not going to be any kind of economic pushback we're not going to be i i just think you know what's going to happen with taiwan what's going to happen with uh the chip production what's you know what's going to happen with the our relationship with a with a foe that has the majority controls the majority of the implements used for antibiotics we're not anywhere near self-sufficient on that or a number of other issues so i don't know i've been stockpiling essentially is what i'm saying but what what are your thoughts on all of Well, unfortunately, I think that the warnings are needed.

Because if we aren't serious about revitalizing our homeland and our manufacturing and securing our supply chains, if we aren't willing to say out loud that the greater threats to America's future come from outside of our country and that our enemies are not within as the Biden Harris administration has declared, or on some lunacy of the weather being the greatest national security threat to the United States, we've got to, if we can't say, look, these are our challenges and this is what we'll do about it, and have the wherewithal at home, then it doesn't matter who we elect. And so I think it does matter. I think that President Trump might not be all things to all people,

but he proved willing to take this policy in a different direction for the four years he was in office. He was smarted by Beijing, hitting the United States and hitting him pretty hard in the final year with the COVID virus. I think that he's got a pretty sober mind in looking at this challenge. And the revitalized America part is right. And J.D. Vance has been very good at articulating that. If you look at Wals, I unfortunately think he's also pretty articulate. But he's articulating very dangerous and bad policies. Ooh, so I'm very, we're going to have to talk to you after they debate.

if they have a debate, Vance and Walls, because I'm, I'm fascinated to see where you fall on with that. Because, see, I do think people think that he's kind of like this dopey fud coming from Minnesota. You know, they've been trying to, the left has been trying to say he's like the Midwestern dad, because he put a hat on. You know, I didn't realize the hat was like a Midwestern dad thing, but okay. But I don't think that he's entirely innocuous. The whole weird thing, that came from him. That was, and they ran with the press ran with that for two weeks now. So he's, he's got a level of danger.

Right, and why wouldn't it? He has spent the last 30 years engaging with the greatest manipulative political warriors on this planet, the Chinese Communist Party. They lead with information warfare. Name calling to them is not a hobby. It's a part of their warfare against their enemies. It doesn't shock me that someone who sympathizes with that part of the political spectrum would be very shrewd. And the Minnesota Nice is a facade. These are daggers. It reminds me of the Dovee Dune, and I'm sure I'll lose a lot of the audience on it, but where the slow blade that goes in is the one that kills. It's the one you don't see that goes slowly. And that's where this passive aggressive beta male stuff on the outside fools people. This is lethal. I think Vance knows it and he'll be ready for it. I hope the whole Trump campaign sees it and the American people see it because there's no content. This is all about power and manipulation right now.

Last quick, well, it might not be quick. Last question for you, though, on this. Is Walls compromised? Do you think? Oh, for heaven's sake, yes. And so, I mean, it's compromised in the sense, is it like Hunter Biden compromised? I don't think so. But in terms of what his thoughts, beliefs, policies, inclinations are, his everything that

has been his style of leadership and what he has said about China is exactly what the warm, mainstream bath of conventional thinking has said for the years of engagement. So I hear nothing out of him that wouldn't be most welcomed by Beijing. They'll tolerate some lip lashes from verbal assaults out of politicians when they know the substance of policies to their net advantage. Until we hit their banks and we kill the people who are trying to kill us by fentanyl or otherwise, the Chinese are going to sit back and say, we got this. Ooh. This is going to be, that's scary to watch. We're on a bumpy ride. We definitely are.

I think in many ways it's the exception that proves the rule. If the only thing that they can find about Tim Walz to complain about is to disparage his military record that was clearly honorable, remember, you can retire at 20 years. Tim Walls served for 24. That's not the issue that's being debated, though, Secretary Pout.

That's not the issue that's being debated. The issue is being debated is whether or not he was in E9, which he wasn't. He lied about and misrepresented his service. He even put it on his challenge coin. I mean, he was telling everybody that he was in combat. Like, he didn't just say that he, you know, served. He said that he was in combat. And he had people that introduced him as being a combat veteran, and he never corrected them.

He put his rank that he's claiming that he doesn't have on his congressional challenge coin. The problem is that he lied and misrepresented his service. He denigrated his own service by misrepresenting it. And when other people pointed out the discrepancy, it's not the problem of the other people who are pointing out. out that this guy lied. Quit covering for the ass of this midwestered dad who lied about his service because apparently he didn't feel it was impressive enough. That's the issue at hand here. So we're not going to be gaslit into thinking, well, you can't, you can't point out that the guy lied. And by the way, it's not everyone else that's pointing out his service. It's the people, his own commander,

his battalion commander that's pointing this out, who wrote a very lengthy response. I mean, Secretary Booty Juice might, you know, maybe would want to listen to the guy that not rings them. I mean, the guy that, you know, he was his commander who said, yeah, this is what he did. The moment that they were called to serve, he left. And then he misrepresented it. He could have just left it as he left. And then he could have not inflated his rank or falsely claimed that he was in war. And that would have been fine. The reason we have the issue is because he did those things. That is why we're even talking about this at all. If he had just retired, people probably would have been like, oh, yeah, you know,

he kind of left this guy, yeah, and they would have left it at that. But he not only did that, he then lied about it and then misrepresented himself on top of it. That is why people are taking issue with this. So do not continue to insult people by misrepresenting his misrepresentations. Today in stupidity, King. All right, it is, uh, is he our president still, Biden? Oh, yeah, that guy. He's here. Is he still president? All right, just check it. Juan, this is cut number 12, right? Yeah. He's, okay, currently Democrats are in power.

Biden was asked about the transfer of power. Listen to what he says here. Are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025? If Trump wins, no, I'm not confident at all. If Trump wins, I'm not confident. As King pointed out, he's the one who is transferring power. So is Biden saying, I'm going to get violent? Is that what he's saying?

Is Biden saying that he's going to get violent? That's what Dems the rules, Cain. So that's what I'm hearing. That's what I'm hearing. All right, folks, that does it for us today.
