Starting point is 00:00:00 Donald Trump intends to take our nation backward. Just look at his project 2025 agenda. Oh my gosh, it's not even his. Project 2025. Returning Trump. Pro-gazing Hamas people are mad at have been interrupting. They were interrupting her little campaign event that she was having. They rushed in.
Starting point is 00:00:36 They were very upset. They were very upset about it. And they rushed in because she's, well, they're unhappy, you know, the pro-Hamas people. The Ghazan Hamas people, they're very unhappy with what they've been. They're unhappy with the, with the Democrat Party because, you know, the Democrat Party there, they've been catering to Dearbornistan. And so as a result, I think that they just, you know, they should have first consideration in every policy. Welcome to the program. We're at the top of this first hour. And it is Thursday. At the top of this very first hour. Yeah, these protesters, what we were showing you on the simulcast, if you're watching at Channel 347, Direct TV, can also find us on X, Facebook, Rumble, YouTube. Rumbles where the discussion is, though, officially. And all kinds. I had some crazy stories for you today, including one where if you're in public, you're going to grab a countertop. You know, dramatically.
Starting point is 00:01:37 like your grandmother would. Like, oh, Mahawar. Grab a counter. You're going to do one of them. All right. So this was the video that we showed you coming in. These were protesters who infiltrated this rally for Harris. And then they had the police in. And then apparently there were some smoke bombs and some other stuff. Can you imagine just, can you imagine what it would have been like had she picked Josh, Josh Shapiro? That would have made, I feel like that would have been a really big, big black eye for the left to protest. Her VP big because he's Jewish. That's, you know, ultimately. They have been targeting her events. They even went, you, you saw the one that they went to where
Starting point is 00:02:19 Eric Adams was there and Kathy Hochle was there. And it was, it was described, the New York Post described it as hastily organized. It was a hastily organized event. So they said, uh, the, they've been, they had to set off, they set off smoke bombs. They were even causing problems on the street. They were blowing whistles. They tried to surround the police. One of them tried to hit a cop with the cardboard sign got arrested. They have free Gaza. Like from what? You voted for Hamas. If you're unhappy that home, why did you vote for them then? I mean, again, we can have this conversation over and over and over again. Good heavens. So the, they've been, they've been following them on the campaign trail. She's been trying to appease these people. You're never going to be able to appease these people.
Starting point is 00:03:05 She tried to believe them. She tried to appease them with her choice of running mate. are like, that's so mean to suggest it. You did it. We're just acknowledging it. So what's meaner? The fact that you did it or the fact that we're acknowledging that you did it? How dare you point out what we did? That's so hateful. Not that we did it, but that you just like saw it and remarked on it.
Starting point is 00:03:28 So then they try to pick that dumpy fud from Minnesota. That's, you know what? That's a great campaign slogan for him. I really like that for him. dumpy fud. So they've, and he's not faring well with the stun. I got more on the stolen valor stuff. So anyway, it is that I still think this,
Starting point is 00:03:49 her picking this dude was the dumbest thing possible. I actually think, and it works well for Republicans. I think if they would have picked Josh Shapiro, then, then they, I actually think that maybe some of these polls would be showing something a little bit different in her favor, just for the bump initially. I really do believe that.
Starting point is 00:04:07 But instead they picked this. guy. So they're going super far left. They're appeasing Dear Bornistan. That's not making Dear Bornistan happy. They're never going to be happy. Dear Bornistan is not going to be happy unless Kamala Harris actually like goes over and herself declares war on Israel. They're not going to be happy. So I don't even know why Democrats are trying to appease these people. What is the deep? What's the convention going to be like? It's coming up in days. What's that going to be like? Because you know that they're planning like these protests and that. And I hope that the media, the conservative media, seizes and shows the absolute division, the schism, as it were, within the left.
Starting point is 00:04:48 So she's, this is, despite everything that they're doing, it's not, they're having issues. In the meantime, the Republican Party is, and we're going to talk about this here coming up with Daily Caller, writer Reagan Reese, because I thought this is very interesting. Really, particularly in Pennsylvania, because Pennsylvania is a very special. state. Pennsylvania, everyone's trying to get into Pennsylvania's good graces. And the title of this piece, Hunter's Truckers and the Amish inside the Republican's aggressive ballot chasing plan for November. Oh, really? You know what? I'm all about like, everywhere where you can stuff the ballots legally, go stuff them ballots. Everywhere where, hell, go down to the border and start registering people coming across the border for Republican. Then Democrats will stop it because Republicans will get very good at it and
Starting point is 00:05:37 Democrats will stop it. That's the only way to do it is take it over. And so they've been doing door knocking, door knocking operations. And so they're saying every hunter trucker and Amish person across Pennsylvania will have a ballot in their hands if the Republican parties get out the vote effort goes to plan. So now we're starting to see. I mean, I think it's a little bit, you know, should have been a little earlier, but they're doing it and they're they're getting it. They're doing it. So I'm happy about that. They said there are 90,000 Amish people in Pennsylvania. Oh, I didn't know that. And they said, that's the election.
Starting point is 00:06:11 So if you've got to count everybody, you've got to go out to everybody. I feel like this is also like a movie skit, like a movie, a scene from a movie, where you have a campaign operative that shows up, dressed up as every single subset that they're, whose votes they're pursuing. So if somebody's going and they're trying to court the Amish, they show up as they think the Amish would dress. Or if they're, you know, going after the truckers, they show up in a trucker. You know what I mean? It just, it feels like that, right? But hey, I don't care. I want to win. Whatever it takes, right? Whatever it takes. Can I sidebar real quick? One of the gothest things I've ever seen in my life was driving through the rural countryside in
Starting point is 00:06:54 Pennsylvania. Did I tell you about this, Kane? We went up there. It was an event that we were up there at speaking at an event. We have an affiliate up there. And it was, it's a beautiful country. And there are a lot of Amish there. And they were in black guys. And their houses were like these these old southern like these these old white clappered houses. You know, two stories. It looked like it looked like Tim Burton came out and built it. And they, I watched this woman in a black Amish dress with a straight up sithe out like doing, you know, the day's chores. And I'm like, that's the gotthest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Starting point is 00:07:29 I so, I've never more desperately wanted to take a photo of something. But I didn't to be respectful. But it was the, and I say that not like as a pejorative. It can't get much higher than being complimented as one of the gotthest things ever. It was, I mean, literally it was like a Tim Burton. The houses look like the Tim Burton house from the original Beetlejuice. It was so cool. I'm not like diminishing, like whatever they're doing, but it was really cool.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Like come and explore little goth on the prairie or little goth in the hills with the Pennsylvania Amish. Anyway, so they're going after those votes. Don't send someone like me because I'd be like, that's so cool. I love your scythe. It would be awkward. But they're pursuing these votes. We're going to be talking about this here coming up. And it's smart.
Starting point is 00:08:11 They should be going after all these votes. Now, you, uh, hmm, the hits keep coming for walls. Tim Walz. This guy cannot. He ran his mouth for years lying. Ran his mouth for years. So check this up. This is over at CNN.
Starting point is 00:08:32 You know, the super conservative, the conservative network network. That's what it means. CNN, right? Is that right? It's right. Tim Walses' 2006 campaign falsely described details about his arrest for drunk driving in 1995. It tried to diminish what he was doing. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Dude, it just keeps happening. So he made false statements originally about the details of his arrest for drunk and reckless driving. And according to the records connected to the incident, he admitted he had been drinking when he was pulled over doing 96 and a 55. and then he was transported by a trooper to a local hospital for a blood test, and that was 0.128. That's really well above the state's legal limit, even at the time or now. And in 06, his campaign repeatedly told the press he hadn't been drinking that night. And then this is where the whole excuse came from, the excuse of, well, he failed his sobriety test because he was deaf. ladies and gentlemen that's the reason why he failed his sobriety test it's because he was deaf that's how
Starting point is 00:09:45 that came about if you if you were wondering well where did the deaf part come up well that's how it came up the campaign did that that's what happened the they they did that i know and yeah the cover-up is still as canes the cover-up is always worse so they also said that he was allowed to drive himself to jail that night his campaign actually said that not a single bit of that is true so again his campaign said no, he wasn't drinking that night. He failed a sobriety test because he was deaf, you know, from the war, not even making this up. And the campaign said he was allowed to drive himself to jail. Because, you know, the cops regularly let people do that when they're going to the jail. You can drive yourself to it, right? That happens. That's a normal thing. It's a normal occurrence.
Starting point is 00:10:32 So there were all of these. CNN actually looked at this. There's literally a reason. They said that Walses campaign director at the time in 06 said, quote, the DUI charge was dropped for a reason. It wasn't true. The trooper had him drive to the station and he left on his own. Tim feels bad about speeding and he peddotech and apologized to his family at the time it happened, except none of that happened. The incident's police report clearly states that he was transported by the police to the local hospital for blood alcohol testing because he was arrested. and then they confirmed Nebraska. State Police confirmed separately again to CNN just this week that he was transported
Starting point is 00:11:15 and then he was lodged in the Dawes County Jail. Four and a half stars, Dawes County Jail. So now everyone obviously, because he's a VP candidate, is going over all of this. Daily Beast published the interview with the trooper who arrested him and he said the trooper was like, yes, he was completely drinking. And he said the sobriety test had nothing to do with his hearing. Yeah, any, I can't believe. I mean, I can't because it's Tim Wals. He's a moron. He's like almost clever by half. Almost. Right. I mean, he's, he's like getting up there. But he's like, he just, it's the craziest thing. And then even the Daily Beast is doing. These are not like they're super, like here's the headline. I arrested Tim Wals for DUI. He told the truth and then came the lies. So he just kept lying about it. everything. Lying, lying, pants on fire. It was crazy. We got a lot more on this, including
Starting point is 00:12:15 other veterans torching him because he won't stop lying now. He keeps trying to cover up the cover up. This, what is wrong with this guy? Just stop. Oh my gosh. So we got to talk about this. We're going to get into this. We're also going to get into my friend Annie McCarthy is going to be joining us later on because he says, look, you guys need to be prepared for a Trump sentencing, a prison sentencing, he says, on September 18th, he's going to join us and explain all of this. We got a lot to hit. Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative cell phone service in the country. And not only do they want to save you money, but they also offer reliable nationwide service.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. time for Dana's Quick Five. Oh, we've got to talk about this coming out. The World Health Organization has now declared monkey pox.
Starting point is 00:14:43 We're not calling it in pox. It's monkey pox. A public health emergency as a new restraint spreads in Africa. You guys remember why they stop calling it monkey pox? Because the World Health Organization was afraid that it would hurt the gay's feelings because they said that it was spreading amongst that subset of the population. And so they wanted to dispel by. like suppressing awareness of it by changing the name.
Starting point is 00:15:08 You people are morons. We're going to come back to this because it's crazy. But they're trying to say, oh, guys, gosh, now we've got a real problem with the M-Pox stuff. So a ruling, fetus can, I can't even believe this is an argument. Fetus can be referred to as an unborn human being as opposed to a dishwasher or a broom? Like, what in the world? This is in Arizona. It's an abortion measure voter pamphlet.
Starting point is 00:15:30 They're saying this informational pamphlet, they're going to decide this fall whether or not to guarantee your right to decide to have an abortion as birth control can refer to a fetus because they had a fight over it as an unborn human being as opposed to what? What else would it be?
Starting point is 00:15:49 So perivisca, yeah every oh a clumpus cells, you're a clumpus cells. You're a clumpus cells! I just, this is so goofy. Coming back to this, because otherwise I'm going to derail the entire headline segment. Americans are dying younger than their English-speaking peers worldwide.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Hmm. Yes, Kane. I understand. What are you saying, Kane? Could be the... The Vax and other things. Okay, all right. BMJ, a recent study reveals that Americans
Starting point is 00:16:20 have the shortest life expectancy. What? Among six high-income English-speaking countries, it rages urgent questions about the state of health and health care in the world's largest economy. And the mandated, you know, Fat-i-ouchies.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Just saying. You know, the thing that my, my, my, uh, my vaccine doesn't work unless you get your vaccine. And my, that, your vaccine makes my vaccine gooder. So they said they are looking at,
Starting point is 00:16:47 it's they, they, that, one of the main drivers is largely preventable things. Like drug overdoses, car accidents and homicides. Huh. Wow. Look at that. It's not what the anti-gun people say. Is it? No, it's not. Very interesting. Uh, and then.
Starting point is 00:17:03 And also, no, older adults do not benefit for moderate drinking according to a very large, very reliable study, I might. We got more in stores. Stick with us. I agree with Annie Oakley who said, quote, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies. Now, I myself regularly conceal carry 9mm. Now that said, not every woman is like me, 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.
Starting point is 00:17:31 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.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Berna 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 Berna. It's great for wherever guns are banned. Visit burna.com slash Dana for 10% off. That's b-y-r-na.com slash Dana. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast.
Starting point is 00:18:24 You're on the go guide for getting up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple. or your favorite podcast platform. People in the country understand the National Guard. The National Guard is activated at times, as Tim Walls was, to serve in Europe to protect our supply change and our assets out there. That was where the unit was sent. But oftentimes, the National Guard protects our homeland.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Not just from threats, but also from floods, from hurricanes. And we're thinking about those people right now in the past of her. That is not what the issue is, girl. That's Amy Klobuchar. Well, you know, I mean, the National Guard, it's has made up of two words, national and guard. And they guard the National Nation, the Guard. We know this. That's not the issue.
Starting point is 00:19:12 The issue is that Homeboy lied about it. Like repeatedly. He lied. He's like, yes, when I was in the war, carrying guns in the war. There's a montage. Do we have, do we have this? There's a montage out there floating around of literally all the times that he introduced himself.
Starting point is 00:19:30 as being the rank that he was not. Are there tons of it? He lied over and over again. And then he's like, yes, I was in the war. Yes, I served at this rank, which I did not, most definitely, but I did. And then there are responses. How dare you say that I am an actually liar, which I am? But how dare you say it?
Starting point is 00:19:56 That cannot be the defense on this, guys. And then you have Amy Klobuchar. Didn't she try to kill somebody with a fork? Hold up. Wait a minute. Amy Klob. I'm Googling. Oh, wait, no, I need to add fork.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Hold on. Fork. Okay. Yeah. She got mad. Oh, no, no. She threw a binder and then got mad and ate her salad with a comb because they didn't produce for her a fork. And this was back in.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Do do lo loo do, do, do 2019. So yeah, she, um, she was being accused of having mistreated her staff repeatedly. Her, I don't believe you. She seems like just chewy gumdrops of joy in sunshine. No, really. She's just liquid sun.
Starting point is 00:20:52 That's what she is. Oh. Oh, yeah, no. So she got mad at her thing with her salad with a comb. She was apparently a very, She was like not Naomi Campbell level. It's like if you had to, you know, put like either Amy Klobuchar or, I mean, on the scale of, you know, maybe, oh, I don't know. The Harry and Megan, the Ginger and the suitcase girl to Naomi Campbell, she's a solid five in the middle, apparently, Amy Klobuchar.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Right. So she, so now on you have a reference when you're like, oh, how badly did they meet mistreat staff like Klobuchar or Campbell? Now you have a reference. Anyway, she is saying that, well, you know, people in this audio soundbite and welcome back, we're at the bottom of this first hour. No one's going to buy the attack on his record. Wait, it's not an attack. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop.
Starting point is 00:21:47 It is not an attack to observe audibly that someone did something that they shouldn't have done. and then you make note of it. That's not an attack. Why? Because it's disadvantageous for you. Oh, it's an attack. That's not an attack. Audio Sound by 33.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Green Beret, Pat Harrigan, absolutely torched Tim Walls for this stuff. I want Amy Klobuchar to say our little soundbite again. And it doesn't matter. Listen to Harrington here. The media has done its best to whitewash his errors. It was a misspeak when he said that he had gone to war, that he didn't, in fact, mean to accidentally print the wrong rank on the coins that he distributed.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Or that he may not have received the final paperwork locking his unit into their upcoming deployment to Iraq before he quit. We believe it is unforgivable to do what Tim Walz did. When, among others, the command sergeant major, who reported, placed him, the mother of one of his units' fallen soldiers and the units chaplain, are calling him a coward. How dare Tim Walts call it simply partisan attacks? And quite frankly, how dare you, the media, dismiss the men and women who actually know Walls' character? Dang. So, yeah, I think that's, that's, and Pat Harrigan's out of North Carolina. Yeah, I think that pretty much silences Amy Klobuchar there.
Starting point is 00:23:39 The problem is, is that all he had to do from the get-go, and he's got a record of this, and that's what all of this proves. All Wals had to do from the beginning was be like, yeah, you know what? It was within my right to retire, so I didn't deploy with my soldiers, and I chose to retire when it came time to go. Yes, he would have still gotten heat over it. but as you can see, he didn't just, he didn't do that. He said that he went to war, literally with his own mouth, we've played, I don't know how many times we played it on the air. He said he went to war. And then he literally had the false rank that he is pretending to have printed on his congressional challenge coin that he actively gave out to people.
Starting point is 00:24:27 He introduced himself as that, allowed other people to introduce himself as this time. fundraised off of it. It is a consistent thing. Listen to this. This is just a clip of all of the times that he said, going from his first political campaign in 2006, when he's falsely claiming the retired rank of command sergeant major. And he didn't have it. I think we have it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Okay. Listen to this. As a 24 year veteran of the Army National Guard and a retired Command Sergeant Major. Oh, no. A retired Sergeant Major in the Army National Guard out of Minnesota. retired out as command sergeant major. I spent 24 years in the military, Congressman as a command sergeant major.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Tim Walls is one of those everyday people. Coach to the state chaps. His assistant. Teacher of the year, command sergeant major. I'm a retired command sergeant major in the Minnesota National Guard. I am retired sergeant major in the Army National Guard. What I consider to be the responsibility and the privilege of being the highest ranking enlisted personnel ever to serve in Congress.
Starting point is 00:25:31 serve in Congress and on the Democrats. What rank was that? Command Sergeant Major. Oh. So when you first came to Washington, you were a retired command sergeant major in the Army National Guard. I was an enlisted soldier. We can sit here and do this for quite a while. There's a lot of these. I mean, I just want to give you a tape.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I mean, Wanda is perfectly ready to beat you over the head with all the different times. This dude has said, that's command sergeant major or retired command sergeant major. He wasn't. He literally was not. so this is the problem this is what we're talking about it is a measure of his character I guess he didn't
Starting point is 00:26:07 think there was nothing wrong with his service the wrong thing is that he felt it wasn't ambitious enough and so he lied about it which then makes his original offense
Starting point is 00:26:23 which would have been less offensive had he not compounded it by lying about it makes it look even worse. Yeah, you did abandon your soldiers. Oh my gosh. This is, and this is what the left does, as Kane points out, they, the only defense that the left has here is to try to convince you that accurately acknowledging that Waltz repeatedly lied about his service is an attack on his service and not a criticism of his character because he lied. That is, that's what, that's the only defense they have here. And it's not just this, but it's the DUI situation. Again, this guy literally
Starting point is 00:27:10 came back in his campaign and said that through his campaign manager, the reason Tim Walls failed the sobriety test wasn't because he was drunk, even though the hospital administered blood alcohol test proved that he was well over the state limit at 0.128. He said that he was, he was deaf. That's why he failed the sobriety test. Death because of the war. That he didn't serve in. Oh my gosh. You see, it just is more, this guy is what, an older Hunter Biden. I don't honest to put it. He has, I mean, his character, this is the stupidest stuff that you just don't lie about. The lying about it makes it so much worse. All he had to do was say, you know what, I messed up and people are, you know, there is such a thing as forgiveness and there is such a thing
Starting point is 00:28:06 as reconciliation and repentance and all of that. But it's really difficult to take a guy seriously at any of that or think that he's even, that he's even sorry for it or that he sees the error of what he did when he lies about it and has lied about it for 20-something years. I mean, good grief over stuff that we know. And there's tons of receipts out there and he's still lying about it. Oh my gosh. Now it's not just a question of his character, but it is even a further question of his basic judgment that he keeps running with a denial, even though, I mean, the people who were over him came out. His direct battalion commander came out and slammed him. All these other people slain. I mean, oh my gosh, I don't, the hits
Starting point is 00:28:52 keep coming for this guy because he keeps making it worse and worse and worse and worse for himself. And it's just so unnecessary. So unnecessary. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, can you believe that Democrats actually thought that somehow this was, I guess, Josh Shapiro was worse simply because he was Jewish than what everybody's dealing with with Tim Walls here? It's just something unbelievable. Just unbelievable. But this is what we're dealing with. So in addition to that, let me pull this up. He lied about his, oh, golly, there's this too. Dustin Graj is an activist in Minnesota and he has done some of the most amazing work at digging this stuff up. I honestly think a lot of people would not know about this. Had he not been, had Dustin not been out there
Starting point is 00:29:56 digging all this stuff up. I mean, it's just, he does a very good job. So this is CNN. Tim, how he, not only did he lie, as we talked about last segment, his campaign in 2006 lied about his arrest for drunk driving in 1995, but he lied about his rank in a rebuttal letter and the Mancato press during his first campaign. So he himself, in addition to his, uh, press, his campaign manager. All of these people just lying about it. They're all lying about it. Lying for him.
Starting point is 00:30:35 This is so crazy. This is the craziest. So that's where we are with this right now. Just unbelievable. Unbelievable. That's where we are. And Amy Klobuchar thinks it's an attack on his service.
Starting point is 00:30:53 It's an attack on his... Again, it's criticism of his character. He lied to. got it. I got other things for you too. Can we talk about the, we're going to talk about the secret service stuff. Can I just put it on the table for you right now? I, this is an actual thing. Um, a secret service agent at the Trump, North Carolina event literally abandoned her post to breastfeed. Now, I have kids. I get it. That is not what you signed up for. This is not a bring your baby to workday job. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:32 And I'm just without words on this. That actually happened. Susan Crabtree over a real clear politics, even got on a Secret Service call. I don't know how she did that, but she did. And apparently the site agent that was there to prepare for the arrival, and that's the site agent is the person who is responsible for the entirety of the security at that specific event. They,
Starting point is 00:31:59 that site agent was doing a final sweep of the, walking route. And there was one particular, there was an agent that had, that was supposed to be, she was posted at a, on a, for at a particular spot, for doing a particular duty. And the agent had left her post to go and breastfeed her baby that was supposed to be set aside for secret service official work, i.e., like if there's some sort of emergency or something like that for the president. We're going to talk about this. Because when the secret service was asked about it, they're like, oh, it's not a big deal. They had no impact on the event.
Starting point is 00:32:37 We got to talk about this. We have more on the way. We got days of these united. I told you, it was one of those things where you're going to kind of just drop your jaw. Hi, I'm George, an economics major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President, Dr. Larry Arne with the Constitution Minute. The Declaration of Independence is more than a bold letter to a British king written by upstart colonists, although it very much is that.
Starting point is 00:33:03 The Declaration explains the promise of America, that all men and women are born equal in their possession of natural rights, and that the proper exercise of these rights can lead to a full and deeply satisfying life. Just as the Declaration explains America's promise, the Constitution upholds that promise. Its purpose is to protect the rights of all of us, our natural rights. This establishes the possibility, not the guarantee that we can have a good life. This is true freedom. Learn more and get a free pocket constitution. Visit constitution minute.com.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Ahead of the Democratic National Convention, Kamala Harris and Tim Walts, are taking a bus tour together through Pennsylvania. Yeah, and this is interesting. This is interesting. It's the same bus the Democrats
Starting point is 00:34:17 threw President Biden under. Oh. Isn't that a coincidence? I mean, he's not wrong. He's not wrong. That's true. That's exactly what they did. I think he's like less of a jack wagon
Starting point is 00:34:35 than the others. I mean, I think he has biased. And that's Jimmy Fallon, if you're listening. I think he, I think he is biased, but of the hosts, specifically, I feel as though he's a little bit classier about it, right? Yeah, like him and Conan O'Brien, I think, had like the same kind of vibe. And I don't just, I don't care if somebody has their preferences, but be a hospitable host
Starting point is 00:35:09 and don't be a jack whack into your audience. And that's it. I mean, I think viewers will forgive you if you have preferences. The problem is that a lot of people feel like their preference because of who they are and because of them being on television or whatever, these late night hosts, they feel like that, they get this elitist attitude.
Starting point is 00:35:26 And as a result, they feel like they know better, so you should adopt their positions because of who they are. I can't stand that. And I have never felt like Jimmy Fallon or Conan O'Brien did that. And really, I got to say, to an extent, I mean,
Starting point is 00:35:39 Letterman really never went, Lennon never really went that hard. It's like, who are these guys? Like the Colbert, who is annoying? And he thinks he's way funnier than he is. is, right? And even Stuart to an extent, which who I think helped introduce all of that in. So I don't know. It's just the whole, they just have fun. People like to have fun. And they don't care about, you're not going to offend them with your preferences as long as you're just, you know, you're nice and you're not just a

Top of the second hour, Dana Lash here with you. and make sure that you I got to tell you who was it someone in the chat had said
Starting point is 00:37:50 one of the chat participants had this is a new one Timpon Timpon fud I'm dead I'm just dead like thinking some branding opportunities
Starting point is 00:38:10 Juan found this gem of they're not doing any kind of I guess sit down interview what is this I mean, I'm, they sat down with each other and they taped this. Just, just watch this. I was hoping maybe we wouldn't have to.
Starting point is 00:38:34 I called you, Tim. Yes. You didn't answer, Tim. I know, I know. The most important call of my life, it popped up and we didn't recognize the caller ID. It went to, it went to voicemail. Hi, this is Jim. I'm not able to answer your call.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Thank you. Hey, Tim, it's Kamala. I really want to talk to you. It is an amazing privilege. I'm excited. Are they trying to make themselves seem more, like, are they trying to humanize themselves, make them seem more humorous? Are they, because we all know that we don't believe that that, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:39:19 That was like so contrived. and she just needs to stop laughing. And they're trying to say, no, no, no, it's not awkward laughter. It's just joy. Like, why do you guys hate joy? Kane? Does that sound like joy? No, that sounds like somebody's stabbing you.
Starting point is 00:39:37 And that's what you're hearing is like the blood's flying on the walls. That's what it sounds like. Golly. That's not joy. That's not any of that. But she is. she's um don't you feel like
Starting point is 00:39:52 I don't feel bad for Joe Biden at all I'm just and I'm not going to say that I feel shot in Freuda because the book of Matthew warns about that so I'm gonna wait until like we win some stuff then maybe I'll allow myself to feel a little bit more of it but doesn't it feel as though he's sort of left out in the cold
Starting point is 00:40:08 I cannot but you know what the RNC ought to do? It'd be a funny little ad but you know those those stand animal commercials and they play that Sarah McLaughlin song And they're all the song, whatever song it is, like sad poppy music. And it could be like him looking out the window or all the times that he was just like awkward, just sort of standing there.
Starting point is 00:40:37 And him just shoved out to the side. They took him out to pasture, right? So they did. They robbed every one of their votes. And they did this. I just feel like that's an ad they could cut, you know? That's an ad. Can we play audio soundbite 14?
Starting point is 00:40:53 Speaking of the laugh, Trump spoke last night. And there were a couple. I thought that was interesting. Listen to this. This is Audio Soundbite 14. For nearly four years, Kamala has crackled as the American economy has burned. What happened to her laugh? I haven't heard that laugh at about a week.
Starting point is 00:41:10 That's why they keep her off the stage. That's why she's disappeared. That's the laugh of a crazy person, I will tell you. If you haven't thought, it's a crazy. She's crazy. Notice that he had the no tax on tips behind him. I don't know. If you listen to the radio show, I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 00:41:26 But we have a new ad. It's audio soundbite 16. It's the ad that he needed to make. This is the response. Remember what I had said on the program? The other day, remember what I said, that this is how they need to message on this. Remind everyone that it was Kamala Harris,
Starting point is 00:41:45 who asked president of the Senate, was the presiding vote over the Inflation Reduction Act that literally set into. motion and created the system to further scrutinize people's tips. Audio Soundbite 16. The Internal Revenue Service under Joe Biden now wants to crack down on tips in the service industry. This was a policy of her own administration and now she's saying, oh, no, no, no tax on tips. Paris is a puppet.
Starting point is 00:42:09 She doesn't have one original idea. How many times did President Trump say this? Everybody knows this is Trump's idea. He's taken it to the forefront. But look, the media's cover. up for Harris, and she's counting on that. What I think she's doing is looking to copy the Trump plan. The American people aren't stupid.
Starting point is 00:42:28 He's been saying this, and Democrats, in some cases, they even said negative things about it. How does she reconcile that against the policy she's been a part of with Biden and Harris? When they've gone after, haven't they not, with the IRS, things like taxes on tips. In the past, the vice president pushed for increased taxes across the board to pay for progressive programs. This includes bumping capital gains taxes to 35 percent, increasing, the estate tax. She is just not able to do much else.
Starting point is 00:42:53 I mean, besides steel and plagiarized. Kamala has no imagination whatsoever. They could have made this, they could have literally made this a 30 second ad, and they could have had the C-SPAN footage of her standing there in the Senate chamber overseeing the tied vote of the Inflation Reduction Act and casting the deciding vote. Be like, this was the moment that the system was put into place to go after your tips, and she was the deciding vote. That's the ad.
Starting point is 00:43:20 You don't need all this. I'm glad that they made it. I'm glad that he's hitting that he's hitting it. But you got to distill it down because look, you're going to have, especially if you're going after moderates and independence and you're trying to go after zoomers who don't go out and vote really anyway. A lot of these, honestly, if you ask some of these people to tell you what cap gains were,
Starting point is 00:43:40 they can't tell you. Just saying, they don't understand how that translates to capital and cash infusion and investment and growth in business and benefits and wage increases. They don't understand the relationship with all that. Literally, all you need to do, and you don't need to even focus so much on the copying part. Be like copycat, copycate, just be like how, why is she? Like, so which Kamala is she? Is she the one who cast the deciding vote on this?
Starting point is 00:44:11 And with her tie-breaking vote, enable the Inflation Reduction Act and put in place the system to further scrutinize your tips and go after your hard-earned dollars? Is it her or is it, you know, now she's trying to crib this? Which one is she? Why won't the press ask? There's your ad. That's all you need. You don't need all the talking heads.
Starting point is 00:44:32 You don't need all that. You just need that. That's all you need. That's powerful. That's the ad. Cut it. You don't need all that. That was like a minute and 13 seconds.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Jiminy Christmas. What I said is literally 30 seconds. Boom. Cut it. Run. And hell, you could probably. by ad time on that, I would, I would actually use that and hit that and go into these battleground states with that completely. I'd play that nonstop in Nevada. So that's, that's what they should
Starting point is 00:45:02 be doing with that. Now, on a couple of other things, I will say this was funny too. I had them, I asked the guys to get this because it was funny. He's talking about energy. Trump at his event last night, talking about wind energy. And I get how it's, you know, fine, you want to have diverse forms of energy. I don't care. I don't mind. I like gadgets. I like tech.
Starting point is 00:45:26 I like other things, but I also like reliable forms of energy. And I realize that certain places don't produce the same kind of results with certain things that other places do. Trump was making a joke about some of what they were pushing. Audio's 17. Listen. Thank you. They're going to take away 84%.
Starting point is 00:45:45 And the real. real stuff. That's the stuff that powers the plants. It's not wind that goes around and around. Darling, let's watch the president's state of the union speech tonight. I'm sorry, we won't be able to do it. The wind is in blowing, darling. We have no electricity. We have no electricity, darling. We won't be able to watch tonight. But perhaps sometime during the week it will be blowing and we'll be able to get our television on it. Golly, can you imagine? Now, with this, have you you switching gears here. Have you guys heard about the Secret Service? We talked about this, the Secret Service story, which I am still, I can't even believe this is an actual thing.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Susan Crabtree over at Real Clear Politics did a deep dive onto this. And during a Trump visit to North Carolina yesterday, a woman female Secret Service special agent, she says, abandoned her post to breastfeed with no permission or warning to the event site agent, according to numerous sources in the Secret Service community. Shortly before Trump's motor caterer rival five minutes beforehand, she reports. The site agent was preparing for a rival, and that's the person who's responsible for the entirety of that particular event security. She said that the site agent went to do one final sweep, and she found that this other agent, the female agent, which is not even there, had left her post and went and had her baby with her,
Starting point is 00:47:11 took her baby into a room that was supposed to be set aside for special secret service work in case, like for instance, that there's some sort of emergency involving the president. And she was out of the Atlanta field offices, and she was in the room with two other family members. The agent, Susan Crabtree reports and her family members bypassed the uniform division checkpoint. They were escorted by an unpinned event staff into the room for her to nurse her baby, said sources. And impendment, they were not cleared by Secret Service to be there. And when contacted about the incident, the Secret Service spokesman said that the incident did not have an impact on the event and it's all under review.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Quote, while there was no impact of the North Carolina event, the specifics of this incident are being examined. Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further, in quote. So she then violated security. She violated security protocols too. She had her family in there. This is insane. And they think that it's not an issue. Now, what's more with this is that the Secret Service Director, also from Susan Crabtree,
Starting point is 00:48:27 is addressing the, was addressing the agency on a conference call and pressing for a complete paradigm overhaul and advocating for major budget increases, saying that the idea that we're going to ask you to do more for less is over. We can no longer operate with that mindset. We can no longer wear our people down. We, you know, all this stuff. And oh my gosh, said that on the communications breakdown at the Butler rally and the lack of interoperability with partners, Rose said that he's directed the CIO to start looking at how they can use a model similar to the White House Communications Agency, which they said gets into looking at the way that they all communicate and saying that it's going to require investments.
Starting point is 00:49:15 saying and they were suggesting that the command at but let the butler event was it unified what in the world i mean this is this is wild i you are there for protective duty and you are required by your job maybe to literally take a bullet and you bring your baby to the event it is not the secret services job to provide that for you. There's a reason, it's a secret service, there's, there's, there's a procedure in place. Oh my gosh. And then you're supposed to be, you know, operating at your optimal level, you know, your situational awareness is, you know, level red.
Starting point is 00:50:03 You are on, you know, you're looking out. I'm telling you what, for all of the arguments and for all of the comments about the female Secret Service agents. And the one that was on stage with Trump at the Butler rally performed her role very, very well. I can't say the same for the other two, but apparently one of them was a U.S. Marshal.
Starting point is 00:50:28 This doesn't help. This doesn't help that criticism of women in those roles. And that wasn't a man that did this to them. The men are defending it. There's a woman that did it. A woman that made the decision. This was a woman that created the situation
Starting point is 00:50:43 and put herself in this situation. Men did not do it men defended her decision. That is not something that you do in protective duty. 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 nine millimeter. 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 Burna comes in.
Starting point is 00:51:17 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 Burna 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.
Starting point is 00:51:43 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 Burnah. It's great for wherever guns are banned. Visit burna.com slash Dana for 10% off. That's B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Dana. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
Starting point is 00:52:03 It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Scientists have made a breakthrough after digging 4,000 feet beneath the Lost City, a lost city in the Atlantic. They think that they're on the brink of a scientific breakthrough. as to how life originates. They drill deeper into the earth than ever before. The record-breaking study on Earth, the long section of rocks along Earth's mantle
Starting point is 00:52:23 between the planet's inner core and outer crust. It's a 4,000-foot long rock core from a spot in the Atlantic Ocean called the Lost City Hydro Thermal Field. And the findings presented in the journal Science, look at the chemical reactions that they think may be allowed life to emerge in the depths of the ocean.
Starting point is 00:52:43 It's called the Lord. It's what it has. But it's right on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the middle of the Atlantic. It's very interesting. Also, this burning man fails to sell out for the first time in a decade. Well, obviously, it's because everybody is broke, including all the hippies that go to Burning Man. I've never, like, I don't begrudge people going there, but I've never understood the allure. You go in, you're dirty and smelly, and you pretend to be homeless for like a week.
Starting point is 00:53:10 So they said that they don't know what this means for the, economic stability of the event in the future. It's every year, Black Rock Desert, takes place every year in Nevada, and it's sold out each year since 2011. So the tickets, they have tiered tickets, et cetera. But yeah, they said they're not able to sell it out. A food bank accidentally hands out meth-laced candy worth $600 each to the homeless. Oh my gosh, you guys. A New Zealand food bank, they're trying to track down a stash of lethal packages of meth-laced candy that it was accidentally distributed to the homeless. It's a Malaysian Rinda Candy Company logo given to a charity by an anonymous donor and included in food parcels.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Oh my word. So far they've recovered 16 of the fake ones. They've reached out to like 400 people that they think may have received them. That's horrible. Just awful. It's in Auckland, New Zealand. And your molecules change rapidly around ages 44 and 60. And so they said that these two stages in your life are going to affect the rest of your life.
Starting point is 00:54:11 According to a new study from Stanford University, tracking age-related changes in over 135,000 types of molecules and microbes. Andy McCarthy comes up next. Keep your finger on the Pulse with the Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis, whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. So September 18th, if you've been following some of the stuff that Lorraine has been writing over at Substact Chapter and Verse, she mentioned this.
Starting point is 00:54:42 She also linked to a great piece from our friend, Andy McCarthy, over at the National Review, about this whole judge, Murchon, the recusal fight and his response at, no, no, no, we have the September 18th hearing date that remains unchanged in this Trump court case. This is the appeals. This is the presidential going back and forth in New York, the New York appeals court. And this has been such a weird case to follow because it's like just, brand new legal ground and just the maneuvers that have been that have been taken in order to get a conviction for Trump and all of the controversy. It's just been one of the weirdest cases to follow. And so I'm really glad that we have our friend, Andy McCarthy, who has a brand new piece.
Starting point is 00:55:28 And this is why we're having him on today because I saw this and I'm like, oh, people are going to freak out over this. He says, prepare for Trump to be sentenced to prison on that date on September 18th. And he adds the objective here is to enable vice president. President Kamala Harris and the media democratic complex to label Trump a convicted felon sentenced to prison right as voting begins. And our friend Andy McCarthy, bestselling author, his latest book, Ball of Collusion, The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency is you should have it if you don't. You can also find him a national review.
Starting point is 00:56:01 You see him on Fox all the time and he's a former chief assistant U.S. attorney. He joins us now on the phone. Andy, always a pleasure. Now, you do have a caveat with that September 18th date because it doesn't necessarily. mean that he's going to be carted right off, you know, to Rikers or anything like that. But that's still, that's a crazy headline. Well, I didn't mean, and I don't think Fox meant to be overly provocative by it. But I do think, Dana, that the, that people are confused.
Starting point is 00:56:33 As you just laid out, it's been a very confusing proceeding. I think that that's because the legal system is meant to accommodate legal proceedings. And this has mainly been a political thing that's been sort of camouflaged into a legal thing. And that makes it confusing. New York is a very political legal system. Most of the judges, not Merchant, who has this case, but a lot of the trial judges are elected. They're elected Democrats because it's all Democrats. The district attorney is an elected progressive Democrat.
Starting point is 00:57:09 at. So, you know, the system is pervasively political. We're dealing with a proceeding brought by a district attorney who basically ran for office promising to use the powers of the office against Trump, just like his colleague, the attorney general Tish James, did on the civil side. She two campaigned that she used her powers against Trump. I must say when I was a young prosecutor, in the 80s, when Bob Morgenthau was the district attorney of Manhattan, it would have been disqualifying to make an argument like that. Now people make those arguments and they get elected, which I think speaks to a cultural problem more than a legal problem. But all of this is a long-winded way of saying this has been political from the get-go. Nobody who wasn't Donald Trump would ever
Starting point is 00:58:03 have been tried or charged these preposterous offenses. I say that as someone, who, you know, you could look it up if you want. I am not in the tank for Trump, but I am in the tank for the legal system, like preserving it, you know. And nobody who's not Trump would have been charged with this. And I would point out to people that technically the charges that were brought were falsification of business records. Yet Judge Merchant allowed Bragg's prosecutors to try the case as if Trump was charged with conspiracy to steal the presidency, which is what the way the case was pitched to the jury. You know, you may have thought out there that being an election denier was the worst thing
Starting point is 00:58:45 that you could be. It turns out it depends on whose election you're denying because Alvin Bragg is the biggest election denier on the planet. That's the premise on which this case was tried. So I point that out, not just to be, you know, express astonishment at what's happened here, but also, you know, just ask yourself in terms of common sense. if you really believe that he's guilty of stealing the 2016 election, of stealing the most important political office in the world,
Starting point is 00:59:16 how do you sentence them to probation? That's a great question. We're talking with our friend, Annie McCarthy. That's a really good question because ultimately in your latest piece, and I actually think, even if the headline seems provocative up on Fox, I actually think it makes sense because that kind of gets into the crux of what you're asking here. I mean, if it's that serious, then how do you just say you get probation or you're, you know, you're off what time served or whatever they end up deciding on
Starting point is 00:59:41 September 18th? Because it's all about getting that talking point sentenced, felon sentence. That's right before voting kicks in, early voting kicks into gear. Yeah, that's exactly right. It's early voting starts in Pennsylvania, the key state, everybody seems to think, on September 16th. So this is going to be thrown into the mixed two days. later. And I think perversely, the weird thing here is Trump is going to get bail pending appeal, right? So it's not like merchants actually going to throw him in prison like you just said. In many ways, I think the incentive then for him, because it's a freebie, is to impose a stiff prison sentence because it's not like it's real. You know, this case is going to be on appeal for a couple of years.
Starting point is 01:00:32 I don't think Trump's ever going to be, I actually think the case is going to be thrown out. And in fact, I think the Trump team is right to say the sentencing shouldn't even go forward because the Supreme Court, after the case was over, decided the immunity case. What the immunity case says is that if you're talking about official acts of the presidency, you're not even allowed to use that as evidence. It's not just that you can't frame it up as a crime in and of itself. you're not allowed to use it as evidence to prove other things that are private criminal acts, right?
Starting point is 01:01:04 They did that to a fairly well in the trial to the point that they called two of Trump's White House staffers as witnesses. And they can't say that that was unimportant evidence because the prosecutors told the jury at the end that it was devastating testimony. So it seems to me that the guilty verdict should be vacated. And if you're ever going to retry this dog's breakfast of a case, case, you would, you would do it without any evidence in the nature of official acts of the presidency. But I think that Merchant has already figured out that he's going to rule against Trump
Starting point is 01:01:44 on immunity. And the reason he's now saying he's going to rule on the immunity on September 16th with sentencing to follow on September 18th is that he's trying to make sure Trump doesn't have time to appeal before imposing sentence. That doesn't sound to me like a guy who's got any interest in postponing the sentencing. Wow. That is, well, that makes all the sense in the world now. We're talking with our friend, Amy McCarthy. You also noted, too, in your piece that you have on this, where you say that it's in your view that even more than the Supreme Court's immunity decision, you write another of its late-term rulings will bolster Trump's eventual appeal Erlinger v. United States, where the court reaffirmed that in criminal cases, important proof elements affecting the potential sentence must be found unanimously by the jury, which Merchon, to the contrary, denied Trump the right to unanimous verdict on the supposed crime. That's interesting. That's the first time that I had heard of this. And I'd read about this case, but now to see that that would actually help the Trump appeal with us. So it could be that, I mean, ultimately, you think that he would win on appeal, and this would obviously help.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Yeah, I think, Dana, that he should win on appeal before you even get to the start of the trial. Because I think on some of the pretrial stuff, for example, to me, the indictment fails as an indictment because it never put Trump on notice of what the so-called other crime was. Right. That he was supposedly concealing by virtue of falsifying his business records. Plus, I think there's a significant issue under New York constitutional law about whether this. statute that was invoked can be used this way. There's nothing in that statute that would indicate that the New York legislature intended to allow state district attorneys to enforce federal campaign finance law, which is what Bragg did here. So I think even before you get to the start of the trial,
Starting point is 01:03:41 you have a problem. And then you not only now have a problem because of the immunized evidence that was used, something that people I think may have forgotten is the testimony, of Stormy Daniels, which was utterly gratuitous. It was completely unnecessary. It didn't prove anything in the case that was in dispute. And it was terribly prejudicial, even to the point where she had told this story a number of times about this trist that she had with Trump in, what is it, 2006 or so. But she had been, I remember when she was on Bill Moore with respect to this, she was very
Starting point is 01:04:21 up front saying, I'm not a me-to case. You know, this is not something where my will was overboard. When she testified in front of the jury, she came very close to suggesting that this was non-consensual, like Trump had forced her into it. Can you imagine something more prejudicial in a case about falsifying business records 11 years later to have somebody give testimony, oh yeah, he may have raped me. Wow. You know, are you kidding?
Starting point is 01:04:49 I mean, that's like a travesty. It's just, I mean, to watch this, I mean, it's a, I think it's a good time to be a law student right now because you're getting all of this playing out in the headlines, like the likes of which I have never seen. Last question talking about our very good friend. Can I just offer one thing on that? Oh, yes, yes. It's never a good time. Don't say that because I have my son listening and that's what he's going to go into. All right. It's all.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Lie, Andy, lie. Last question for you. So I mean, we're not going to see, although I know, I feel like Democrats have to play it carefully because, you know, they don't want to overplay their hand with these optics, but at this, because especially with it kicking off right, you know, two days after early voting, you know, gets underway. But it's more so about stating that he was sentenced, but not really having the optic of him getting handcuffed and perp walked into jail, correct? Yeah, I think that would be catnip for their base, but they know the effect that it could have on the public. So I think, you know, the right move for them is, you know, get them convicted, formally, get them sentenced and then use that rhetorically in the run up to the election. But I think if you start putting him in jail, then people who haven't paid that much attention may start looking at, well, what was this case about in the first place? And that does not help, you know. That's a very good point. Andy McCarthy, always appreciate your insight on this.
Starting point is 01:06:24 And you can go and read his latest piece over at foxnews.com, also at NRO as well. Andy, thank you so much. Appreciate you joining us today. Thanks so much, Dana. Of course. We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up this second hour of broadcast. We've got Florida Man on the way and you don't want to miss. And of course, then later on, we're going to look at the campaign's battle for workers.
Starting point is 01:06:48 It's his life mission to make me. Bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Uh-huh. All right, so first up, oh gosh, why does it have to be this cat? A 74-year-old man was arrested
Starting point is 01:07:08 for being a dirty pervert and doing dirty pervert stuff. Oh, no. At a beach. What? Yeah. Oh, and he looks like a dirty pervert who did dirty pervert stuff at the beach would look like. Oh, it was in Naples, Florida.
Starting point is 01:07:22 74-year-old man was arrested on Monday because he was exposing himself and he was walking around in his birthday suit on a southwest Florida beach. Naples responded to a call about a man, this is so gross. I don't know why I'm doing bunny hands, but I do that whenever I'm very uncomfortable. He, police responded to a call about a man who was exposing himself and walking around nude on the shoreline of the Naples beach. And then when they arrive, they discover the old dirty perver. Richard Mansfield lying naked in a beach chair. Full view, everybody at the beach. So apparently beach patrol had already asked him to cover himself up before police arrive,
Starting point is 01:08:08 which apparently he didn't. So he was taken into custody in charge with indecent exposure. Why do people do this? I don't know. Oh, by the way, there's more cocaine. You know, this just happens all the time. Now this time it's over a half a million. million dollars just found floating in Florida. A package containing about $625,000 worth of cocaine
Starting point is 01:08:28 was discovered floating in the Gulf of Mexico near Everglade City in Florida. Boaters noticed an unusual package in the mangroves off a panther key. And it was about the size of a microwave oven. It contained 56 pounds of cocaine divided into 25 individually wrapped kilograms. And the barnacle covered package suggested it had been adrift for a significant amount of of time according to call your county sheriff's office the new sheriff whose name was schmunter hayden picked up the package i'm kidding that part's not real that would have been funny though call your county sheriff kevin ram rambosk thank the citizens who got the package etc i honestly would not be surprised though if a guy named schmunter hyden decided to pop up in florida and like
Starting point is 01:09:13 oh i hear there's a lot of cocaine found down here floating in the water so they they got the cocaine, Collier County Sheriff's Office, they're investigating its origin. They think it probably drifted East Coast through to recent storms, and they keep finding all kinds of packages like this. Like, apparently, I mean, it's like every month there's like some cocaine floating in the water. So who's getting beaten by the cartels?
Starting point is 01:09:33 Because that's like a lot of cocaine to lose, in it? Like, that keeps happening. I think you have like a delivery problem. But it's not like you can complain, like Uber Eats or DoorDash style, right? Like, I would like to call and complain about my cocaine delivery. Doesn't really work like that. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:09:49 This is, oh, wow, this woman is crazy. A Florida woman was arrested after a five-hour stakeout at an animal clinic. She was pursuing a fellow animal clinic worker. She had developed romantic feelings for this animal hospital worker treating her sick cat. And how she's facing aggravated stalking charges for harassing the worker outside of the Parkland Animal Clinic. Brower County had to be dispatched and they took her in. she's this little crazy woman from Fort Lauderdale. She's apparently, she sat for over five hours outside of the workplace at the animal clinic.
Starting point is 01:10:25 And, oh, and she's apparently has had some run-ins with the law previously. And so deputies arrived. They had to take her into custody. She had to draw down on her because apparently she was also in a legal possession because she's, I don't think she's a, I don't think she's a legal possessor. She was detained and placed in a patrol vehicle with that incident. Yeah, that's kind of crazy. she had been sitting outside of the workplace for five hours and 40 minutes.
Starting point is 01:10:49 Oh my God. Good night. Every breath you take. That's crazy. At an animal clinic. In a birthday challenge, a Florida man stabbed his roommate because they got into a stupid argument as to who spent most on fueling their car. Oh. That's in Pope County.
Starting point is 01:11:07 And I guess like, okay, you won the argument, but now you get to go to jail? Like, what does that? How does that work? We got our third hour on the way. And then we got to talk about Kamala Harris once price controls. Stick with us. I've been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. First time I sponsored a bill to let Medicare negotiate the price of drugs
Starting point is 01:11:29 was in 1973 as a freshman senator with a guy named Frank Church from the state of Idaho. Folks, I have an incredible partner. The progress we've made, she's going to make one. One hell of a president. So he's like, okay, now I'm leaving. Bye. Bye, guys. And then he, like, walks the wrong way off the stage.
Starting point is 01:11:58 I don't know. I'm just assuming. Welcome back to the program. Top of this third hour. Dana Lash here with you. That's Potatus, who is, uh, is he still? What? Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:08 First off, welcome back. Greetings and salutations. Dana Lash. You can listen. If you're the chats at Rumbles, so go and hang out. That's the break room for all of us. Kane's already mad at me. because of her not mad
Starting point is 01:12:23 what is it frustrated because of her pronunciation check on a certain Democratic Senate candidate out of Missouri yeah his name is the last name is spelled
Starting point is 01:12:36 K-U-N-C-E right and you guys immediately know how I read that close to dunce like you know like I mean if you take the K out it's dunce
Starting point is 01:12:51 and put the D in, it's D-N-S. You take the K out, it's once. You put the K in and it's... It's not. It's K-N-S. Why does that change all of a sudden? It's K-N-S.
Starting point is 01:13:02 No, I don't believe you. Coons is K-O-O-N-T-Z. That is also... D-U-N-C-E-D-N-E-C-C-E-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-U-Ns. That's the name. It's the name. It's Coons. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:13:17 They're saying their name wrong. So, anyway, he's already frustrated. I'm like, why does it change? And he's like, I'm not like the inventor of names. I don't know. But what if you are? See? Just saying, anyway, apparently was he trying to, I'm going to get back to the Biden thing, but, well, that reminded me because the potatus thing. Biden was speaking. Democrats are just in a bad way. I mean, for real, look at the mess of characters they have. The Democrat slate of candidates is like all of the weird family members at your family reunion. You know what I mean? Like, you all have, like, certain family members that you just don't want to have nothing to do with at the family reunion because they're freaks.
Starting point is 01:13:58 That's, like, all that party is. I mean, you've got the chunky fud up in Minnesota who was like, I feel my sobriottie tis because I'm deaf. And the cops are like, no, it's because you were drunk. Wrong D. Not deaf. Drunk. Like, big difference. And then he lied about his service and all this. And then he, and then everybody in their brothers coming out like, I was your battalion. commander. I served with you and you're lying and here are the receipts and he's like, nope, it's still going with it. And then you have Joe Biden who, I mean, I, do they wind him up and then just like let him walk out with his can arms? I don't get it. It's just, he looks uncomfortable. I'm just like checking the monitor. He looks uncomfortable now. It's like elder abuse. And then you have Kamala Harris who has zero, literal zero policy positions. Oh, wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:14:54 She's got one, guys. Oh, guys, she's got a policy position. She finally came out with a policy position, guys. Yeah, you're going to be so excited. So let's see what brand new and original policy position she has. No, I'm not talking about the tax on tips thing, even though she was literally the deciding vote. Again, as president of the Senate,
Starting point is 01:15:16 because by way of being vice president on the inflation, actually cast that vote. That set up the whole apparatus to go after people's tips out through the POS system, right? I know that because of John Taffer. That whole system. Anyway, so she now has another, an actual proposal. You ready? Guys, she is going to come out, going to come out with some price controls. Yep. Yeah, it's a big deal for her. Big deal. Coming out with the price controls. She's proposing a federal. ban on corporate price gouging on groceries and stiff penalties in the food industry. You know, because big grocery. It's not because of government spending. You know, it's because of the Paul
Starting point is 01:16:08 Newman salad dressing people. They're like, you know what? We're going to overcharge people for our dressing. And then the wonder bread people are like, we're also going to charge overcharge people for our bread. It's big grocery. That's apparently what's happening. It can't be government spending. You know, I mean, I realize the Taliban just held a parade with all the stuff they took from us in Kabul. But hey, it can't be government overspending and just losing track of billions of dollars. It couldn't be any of those things. It can't just be sending wads of cash towards Ukraine like we're spending, you know, gobs of money at the ugliest stripper at the club. It can't be that. It has to be big grocery. Spend in G's.
Starting point is 01:16:51 Mm-hmm. Just saying. And of course, the press is like, this is great. Marx was like, that's my idea first. So she's, what her campaign is literally, they're actually promoting this as the first ever ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries. And they want to set up clear rules of the road to make sure that big corporations can't unfairly exploit consumers because that's the government's job. Come on. To run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries. heaven forbid somebody else actually make a buck the honest way that government can't totally take and then somehow it's it's excessive profit never excessive federal spending it's excessive profit
Starting point is 01:17:36 hey i got a question about excessive profit what about the excessive profit of the biden family and all the money they got from not just like you know the ukraine stuff with barisma but romeia and CEFC with China and everything else. What about that? Is that excessive profit? I mean, you have a flabby Cokehead who parties on his dad's dime with strippers
Starting point is 01:18:04 and blow and then he spits paint thinking he's Jackson Pollock 2.0 onto a canvas and sells it for a cool half-mill. Is that excessive profit? I'm just asking for some friends. Is it? I think old Dana has a response to this. Do it.
Starting point is 01:18:20 Maybe you need to. just spin less, pimp. There you go. There you go. I'm just saying. Sage advice. Sage advice from, yeah. I love it. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:33 Like, I'm, you know, I don't, what is, what is big grocery? How can you have excessive profits in the supermarket? If people just stop for five seconds, just think about this logically.
Starting point is 01:18:51 Wait, you're calling for people to think logic. I know. Well, our audience clearly does. They can. Yeah, go ahead. But when the government, with its overspending, causes the rate to rise because the Fed has to fight the inflation, the actual insertion of all the new money into the market because the government decided to spend it. Things like gasoline, electricity, energy, all those things that go into, say, growing the foods, delivering those foods to the grocery stores. you'd realize when you walk into a grocery store how much electricity is in use every single day. Those are true hard costs that are actually going up that the businesses have to reflect in the pricing of the products that they provide. It's not gouging. What the government is doing to your income is gouging.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Yeah. Well, and that's exactly. I mean, she's actually calling for, here is the hill piece that I am pulling up right now. uh she's calling for the federal ban on price couching and for like people are doing this like that's not okay so you realize that it you have businesses that are already dealing with small margins right and they're already dealing with inflation on top of it because it's more expensive for the people to grow the food for them to package the food for them to distribute the food for the grocery stores to sell the food because as you mentioned with their power,
Starting point is 01:20:24 electricity, cooling, heating, etc., etc. So they're already dealing with small margins. I think what is it? Like a lot of the grocery stores in that it was like 2.9% margin? Yeah, it's less than 3% profit margin. Yeah. And that was Kroger, I think he reported on when they
Starting point is 01:20:39 had their latest quarterly earnings. Yeah. So less than 3% profit margin. So they're already operating on small margins. How do you make that with price controls and inflation? because inflation is still going to be happening with literally all of the stuff that you're bringing in and all of the ways that that stuff is being grown in packaged and sent. How do you make those margins?
Starting point is 01:21:03 What's more infuriating is that the government itself? What's the margin on what the government's doing? They've put nothing out and they take everything in. Golly. So she's like, Mom, I'll come out with a policy. Let's do what the Soviets did. that's her and what
Starting point is 01:21:24 Trudeau and Trudeau is doing that in Canada what when you have price controls guess what happens you have shortages of goods that's Econ 101 hell I learned that my freshman year of college although my most valuable class
Starting point is 01:21:38 was logic I will say but when you have price controls I mean this is like all throughout history you have shortages is there an, I mean, I'm actually sure, there's never been an exception to that. This is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in my life.
Starting point is 01:21:57 And that's what they're doing. You're kidding me. So, no, I'm not. That's actually what's happening. This is so goofy. So how are they going to actually make? Imagine if you're a grocery store and a dairy that's been delivering you gallons of milk at $2 a piece because, you know, inflation wasn't a big problem at that point.
Starting point is 01:22:17 Now they're delivering gallons at about $4. dollars a piece to you. Are you going to be forced by Kamala to sell your milk at three, three bucks a gallon? Even though you're paying four to provide it to people? That's what price capping does. That's why government shouldn't be involved like this. So what they're going to, so here's what they're doing. And it makes me wonder if this isn't just an optically based, well, it's still stupid regardless, but if it's more optic than it is practical. Because now, if you try to oppose her on this, she's going to, and this is what Democrats, And with the help of the media, what they're going to do is maneuver into position that you simply oppose lowering prices if you oppose her policy.
Starting point is 01:22:59 Therefore, you want to keep the prices high. It's the most brain-dead, illiterate, illogical argument you could make. But we have a purposefully evil media. And a lot of the people that lap that stuff up, I'm sorry, you're just some of those people, some of the most illogical people ever. That's their whole tactic. So they're going to try to put Republicans on the position on the offense of, well, no, we don't want to look. It's not about, they're going to have to explain because they're going to say, you want to keep prices high. We're trying to do something about it.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Also, it's a way for her to put some daylight between herself and Biden and going this way. Because remember, she's trying to look like she's the outsider, even though she's literally been there for four years as vice president and before that Senate. So there's, this is, this is like a Valerie Jarrett move. Doesn't it? I know. This does sound like it. We're going to talk more about this because I'm reading this New York Times piece on it as well. This is, she's laying out, she's giving a speech tomorrow where she is going to finally, the first slate of policies that she's going to introduce are economic proposals.
Starting point is 01:24:06 So we're going to talk about this here coming up because this is going to be one that she's introducing. They're going to go after big grocery. It's exactly what it is. This is just like some of the dumbest stuff I think I've ever seen, but here we are. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Okay, Kane and I are really confused by this. So Sabino Canyon, blah, blah, blah, are celebrating Smokey Bear's 80th birthday.
Starting point is 01:24:32 No, no, no, hold up. Smokey the Bear. Right. Smokey the Bear. Smokey the Bear. So it's like Mr. and Mrs. the Bear's son. Yes. Not just bear. Smoky bear.
Starting point is 01:24:44 Yeah, what is Smokey bear? That's like a bear that's on fire. Smokey the bear is a bear named Smokey. Right. See how this works? That's how I grew up with smoking. What is the matter with these people? This is KGUN Channel 9.
Starting point is 01:24:58 Stop it. They're talking about a bear that's on fire. We're talking about the bear named Smokey. So, anyway, it's a true story of a black bear. I actually read this book as a kid, who was rescued from the top of a tree. after a forest fire in New Mexico. National symbol for wildfire safety in America.
Starting point is 01:25:15 Now he's 80 years old. Happy birthday, Smokey. The bear. Thank you. That's how it goes. It's how you get riots. Stuff like this. A Wyoming reporter, okay, we had this.
Starting point is 01:25:28 This Wyoming reporter that was making stuff up, which was just such a... The FTC, they've announced a final rule banning fake reviews and testimonials. I thought they already kind of had that. because don't a lot of these like websites, I don't know if it's like a requirement because it's FTC stuff,
Starting point is 01:25:47 but don't they have to say this is like a sponsored review or they were received like free product in exchange for a review or something like that. So they said the agency now gets to strengthen enforcement and seek civil penalties against violators and deter AI generated fake reviews. So that's interesting. So you can't have fake or false consumer reviews,
Starting point is 01:26:08 consumer testimonials is fake. you can't buy positive or negative reviews blah blah blah review suppression all that yeah so that's interesting that they have to do that well okay are they wrong this is disgusting a suburban
Starting point is 01:26:24 brewery is fined for selling a cicada infused I like to say malort short a malort shot according to the Chicago Sun Times I don't need cicada infused anything they said it's a basically they just
Starting point is 01:26:40 dropped a cicada in a shock glass. Like, how was that? That's nasty. It's, uh, the Illinois liquor control commission issued a fine to this brewing company because they were selling the creative drink with a rare overlap of two cicada breads. That's nasty. All right. So coming up. The, uh, hunters, truckers and the Amish. Oh my. Are the Republicans getting out the vote yet? We're going to talk about this. Coming up. The Dana Show podcast, your fast, funny and informative news companion for those always on the move, subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 01:27:15 I think Trump world's jealous of the joy right now. There's so much anger coming from Trump's speeches. Joy is real and it's important. People can make fun of it and say focus on the policy. But if you ask political scientists and psychology professors, they'll tell you the emotions matter in politics. Sometimes they matter a lot more than the policies. And that's, I think, the big story.
Starting point is 01:27:31 I feel like that South hasn't been watching everything. I don't know where he gets that all his speeches, Trump speeches are angry. Vance has been a happy warrior. Trump did, what was it last night that we got that audio from? Yeah. Where he was just like talking about, oh, honey, we can't watch the television because, you know, the wind isn't blowing. And he was, you know, people were laughing and it was funny.
Starting point is 01:27:52 And I don't know. I feel like they have one view and they need to promote that view at all costs. Welcome back, Dana Lash with you at the bottom of this third hour. You can listen coast to coast. Of course, we have the simulcast of the radio program, Channel 347, Direc TV, Rumble X, everywhere. this has been a very, you know, speaking of joy, is joy going to sell it? Because this has been a very interesting election cycle. I thought 2016 was, 2020 was, and then 2024 said, here hold my beer.
Starting point is 01:28:19 Now we're watching more than ever things being determined by the margins, right? Elections are determined by the margins. That's where the independents are. That's where the moderates are. And that's where a lot of the working class is as well. Headline after headline, Democrats, no longer the party of the working class, how Democrats can win back the working class. Why are so many blue-collar workers drifting from Democrats. That's over at the Harvard Gazette. Over and over again, Democrats are freaking out. So now there is this, because early voting starts in Pennsylvania in just a matter of weeks, this huge fight for the working class, specifically hunters, truckers, and the Amish, which that sounds like an album title for something. This is a great piece that's over at the Daily
Starting point is 01:29:00 Caller. And I saw this last night, and I thought this is, because we've been talking about the ballots and get-out-the-vote efforts, there is a new get-out-the-vote effort that has emerged in Pennsylvania on behalf of Republicans. Nobody is more excited to hear that than I am. And this is a great piece. Reagan Reese is the White House correspondent
Starting point is 01:29:20 over at the Daily Caller. She joins us now via Skype. Reagan, it's good to have you. Thank you so much for joining us today. Talk to us about this because Pennsylvania is, it's always an important state, but this state seems now more than ever so supremely important, which is kind of why it seems like it's weird for Democrats to kind of
Starting point is 01:29:38 bypass it. But now every hunter and trucker and Amish person, you write, across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, they need to have a ballot in their hands if this get out the vote effort is going to work. And if Republicans are successful at it, tell us about this. Yeah, Dana, I started looking into this piece because a couple weeks ago, I read in the Atlantic that the RNC and the GOP were abandoning get out the vote efforts. And I was like, that cannot be true. And so I wanted to look into that. And so the RNC is outsourcing its get out the vote efforts to various grassroots
Starting point is 01:30:14 organizations that quite frankly are better at it than them. And they are meeting with them, they're coordinating with them, they're playing you know, quarterback as it was described to me. And among those groups are turning point action, Scott Pressler's early action, early vote action and Cliff Maloney's Chase Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is a state that both Democrats and Republicans have said this is a really important state. Whatever way Pennsylvania goes in the 2024 election will determine the way the other swing states go. And so Scott Pressler is kind of heading up that Pennsylvania effort. And the way he explained it is it's really genius.
Starting point is 01:30:55 The 2020 election in Pennsylvania was decided by 80,000 votes. There are 90,000 Amish people in Pennsylvania, 80,000 truckers, 800,000 veterans, and 930,000 hunters. And Scott Pressler said, you know what, I'm going to those communities because that right there is the election for Donald Trump. That can win Pennsylvania. That is pretty smart. Scott Pressler, he's done a lot of really good work, his group early vote action.
Starting point is 01:31:24 And he made a good point that you write about talking with Reagan Reese with the Daily Caller. 80,000 votes deciding that in 2020. He says there's 90,000 Amish, as you said. The truckers, though, the 80,000 truckers, he said most of them, they're not voting on election day because they're driving their rigs on election day, which makes all the sense in the world. So he says, we're trying to get them that mail-in ballot so that their votes can count. When you consider how close these totals came in 2016 and 2020, Reagan, that is the election. Yes, each of these demographics is the election. And so the fact that he's going to target all of them.
Starting point is 01:32:01 And he said for hunters, there's 93, 930,000 hunters in Pennsylvania, 30% of them aren't registered to votes. So they're at gun shows. What? They're going to gun stores. They're handing out ballots, but trying to get people registered. And the other half of this is Cliff Maloney is then going to chase those ballots. So in 2020, more than 100,000 Republicans didn't send their ballot back in Pennsylvania. That there also is the election, Dana.
Starting point is 01:32:33 And so Cliff and his team are going to be dispatching ballot chasers across the state to go knock on those doors of Republicans who requested the ballots and bring those ballots to the election box. That is amazing because that's always the thing that does Republicans in. It's not that there are more Democrat votes. It's that too few Republican registered voters are showing up and casting those votes and making that count. My heart stopped when you were sitting here telling me about the number of hunters that are not registered to vote. Pennsylvania, what is happening to you right now? We got affiliates all across that state. What is happening with you people in Pennsylvania?
Starting point is 01:33:09 How are you hunters and you're not going to vote? I mean, your right to carry is like actually dependent upon this election. The ballot chasers, that's an interesting job. So they just show up and they're like, hey, we noticed that you got the ballot. what's up with that? Why haven't you brought it back in? I mean, you have to be a certain type of person, I think, to do that job very well. Yeah, I'm not sure if that would be the job for me. There's a lot of journalism, but I don't know the whole like cold calling the door, I guess.
Starting point is 01:33:38 With all these ballot chasers, which really unique just across the ballot chasing and the get out the vote effort is they have an app. And that app tells them, you know, who has all that data in there. Who needs a ballot? who's a low propensity voter, who got that ballot. And then it also provides a script, a script that you can give via postcard, you can text these individuals, but also a script that you can use when you walk up to the door and say, you know, hey, I know that you got a ballot.
Starting point is 01:34:08 I know that you're a registered Republican. We can help you fill out that ballot and get that in. So your vote count. That's such a big improvement over what happened in 2012 with the Mitt Romney, fail well thing because they launched this, I know it was like software or something. Like this was like pre all of these great apps, but they launched this like specific type of software that was supposed to help kind of do just that on election day. And it didn't, it wasn't working. People didn't know where to go. It was all of this like wasted effort. So this is good. It's so good to hear that
Starting point is 01:34:40 it's in advance that they're working and they're specifically targeting these states. Talk to me a little bit too about this, you know, the idea of the working man because that's really, you know, when I was reading your piece, that's what stands out. These are all working people, working class people that usually, you know, historically have always been kind of really reliable votes for Democrats, but they lost that in 2016. I don't know that I see the same sort of effort or I'm hearing Reagan about the same sort of effort coming from Democrats that I'm hearing from Republicans on this, on this subset. Yeah, I read a couple of pieces this morning in the New York Times and Axiose actually like
Starting point is 01:35:16 downplaying to get out the vote efforts from Republicans and just. trying to, I don't know, strike fear. Maybe, you know, maybe they're trying to encourage Democrats and tell them you have nothing to worry about with what Republicans are doing. But based off my reporting, I find all of that to be inaccurate and misleading. What Scott explained to me is that, you know, these Amish, the hunters, the truckers, the veterans are now all demographics that they are seeing skew right. And those are votes that Republicans should be banking, that these are demographics that they should be targeting. And you need to give them the resources to do so. The truckers, like you mentioned, that's a great point. That's a demographic that, like Scott said,
Starting point is 01:35:58 is someone who is going to lean right. But because they're on the road on election day, they're not voting. And so being able to get them that mail-in ballot is pretty much the entire battle. So what I'm hearing from you and talking to Reagan Reese from Daily Caller, we played this soundbite a little earlier from Abe Clobuchar saying these attacks on Tim Walses, you know, his record, that's not going to matter. And she intimated that, you know, veterans aren't really going to care about that. That's not kind of what I'm getting from. You're reporting.
Starting point is 01:36:27 No, I think, you know, the reaction we've seen just to Governor Tim Wals' stolen valor accusations and in the military falsehoods, I've seen so many veterans come out and speak out against this. And I don't think that's going to go away. I've spoken to insiders on the Trump campaign who are looking to, you know, platform veterans who are frustrated about this and organize an effort, you know, maybe similar to Swift voting in 2004, what Chris Lasavita organized. And so I think you're completely accurate in saying that veterans, it is going to affect veterans, these stolen valor accusations by
Starting point is 01:37:07 Governor Tim Walz. And this, to hear about these efforts, so this is obviously extending way past Pennsylvania. This is going into all of these battleground states, these swing states, you know, really Republicans have to win in order to bus through and take the White House. And, I mean, building up these, I was just looking at some of the numbers that you have. I mean, especially in Arizona, where I, because we saw, I know in Florida they were saying that they had something like a million more Republicans than Democrats registered to vote. I would feel like in states like Arizona, border states, you know, some of the blue collar, more blue collar states that are so affected by, you know, the inflation and all. It feels like we could do something like that in those states as well and maybe make that a goal to get to those numbers. Yeah, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan are also being targeted.
Starting point is 01:37:57 And that's turning point action. That's really focused on those states. You know, they've kind of left Pennsylvania to Scott Pressler and Cliff Maloney. And they're focusing on those three states. They actually decided to pivot from Georgia and focus on Michigan because they realized the data that they found more opportunity in Michigan in this election cycle. And so kind of a last minute switch they made here. The key, as it was explained to me, is kind of looking at how the primary turnout is going to be in Arizona. They're expecting a 30% increase in voters turning out, Republicans turning out to the polls.
Starting point is 01:38:35 They're going to get that data towards the end of the month in a couple of weeks. And then that's kind of part of the battle as well, getting these reps, almost this like muscle memory. in for voters, hey, we want you to vote in the primary. And then you get in that habit of voting, you've turned in that ballot, you find out it's not that scary. And then you go and go for the presidential election as well. And so it's the same effort. They're actually all using all the same data that they have in these apps.
Starting point is 01:39:05 So turning point action has their own app. So does Scott Pressler. And it's all the same data that they're sharing with each other. And the great thing about these apps, I think is so smart. is that they're accessible to anybody. I could go and, you know, chase ballots or, you know, do a get-out-the-vote effort. I won't because I'm a journalist. Right.
Starting point is 01:39:26 Which is why you're not on CNN or MSNBC or something like that. Right, exactly. So it's very accessible for anybody. And so for Scots in Pennsylvania, 30,000 people are using his app to help get out that vote. That's amazing. Reagan Reese over at the Daily Caller. This is a fantastic piece. Great work, too.
Starting point is 01:39:48 Great reporting. It's good to have you. Thank you so much for joining us. On the go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist. Follow Dana's absurd truth podcast for bite-size informative episodes. Perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast. And let's just summarize the truth. Tim Walls said that he carried a weapon in war.
Starting point is 01:40:10 He never went to war. Tim Walls said that he didn't know his unit was a. about to deploy to Iraq when even his own press release at the time said that he knew exactly that. Tim Walls claimed to be a command sergeant major, even had it printed on his challenge coins, and he knew he never achieved that rank. And now, Kamala Harris, showing terrible judgment, has decided that her way out of this political problem is to claim that she and Tim Walls are the victims. I think the victims are the veterans who are how to have having their service disparage because the guy wants to be their vice president is lying instead of
Starting point is 01:40:51 telling the truth. I think those are the real victim. Yeah, that was a pretty good response to all of that. J.D. Vance taken Tim Walsh, walls to the woodshed over there. Did you guys see the, well, if you didn't, you didn't like lose anything. There was, who was it? Some dork with NBC Universal or something like that put up a high school photo of J.D. Vance in the boys. bathroom with three fully clothed female girls just joking and standing in front of a urinal. Right.
Starting point is 01:41:22 And like, ho ho look there in front of it. And this like dude's like, can you believe those shiny fans? They're so weird. Yeah, so weird. That's all they have. I mean, you can't say,
Starting point is 01:41:33 oh, so drunk like 10 walls or so lying about your service like 10 walls. Can't do that. I mean, that's all they have. That's so lame. That's just so lame. So Harris is apparently speaking tomorrow about the economy.
Starting point is 01:41:48 That's going to be fun. Anybody want to like estimate guess? Is she going to talk about Venn diagrams or? Yeah, I'm going to look at Trump's website and see if you put any of his economic policies up there. Yeah, she's like, you can just go to my website, Trump.com, and see my. As she talks about price controls for groceries, because it's easier to say big groceries stealing from you than our administration. That's the truth of it. It's easier to say that.
Starting point is 01:42:17 I don't know. Man, this is all this stuff. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. Well, to just rehash an old Soviet ploy and act like that, look at my completely original idea, my economic idea. I know. All right.
Starting point is 01:42:36 I know we've got to get going. Today's stupidity came for I totally eat up all your time. Well, when I did put this in there, this is, I think, stupid on our current president. Biden to go out there and do this, but he's out there like name calling. Donald, like, he's acting like he doesn't remember his name. This is so lame. Donald Dump, I think is what he said.
Starting point is 01:42:53 Donald Dump. So let's just hear what Biden says here. Now, the reason I say that's not to make a political point about them, not if they have gotten their lesson, but guess what? Easy for you to say. They want to, they, the guy we're running against. What's his name? Donald Dump or Donald.
Starting point is 01:43:15 Whatever. That's not even funny. Part of me believes he literally forgot his name, though. I mean, it's like not even funny. I think. If it was funny, I would have generally been like, okay. That wasn't even funny. That was just like mean.
Starting point is 01:43:27 He's just a mean. You know what? You got pushed out. You don't even matter anymore. And that does it for us today, folks. Find us over at Substack, Chapter Inverse. Go and subscribe. YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe.
