It's going to be just before my show. I'll do my show live in Pennsylvania. It'll be essentially live to tape. And no stipulations on the questions. Wide open, there's no caveats that are coming to do the interview. So she'll take all and any questions. And I ask the audience, drop me a line on X at Brett Baer or Instagram or Facebook. Oh, they have.

Oh, they have dropped in many lines on X. That was Brett Baer previewing. His conversation, it's already been live to tape, and we talked about this yesterday, with Kamala Harris that's going to air tonight or this afternoon, like early afternoon, late afternoon, early evening, like the later today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. Top of this first hour here on Wednesday. And we don't have a simulcast per se today, but you're obviously still listening to us because we're here in Richmond, WRVA broadcasting live at our affiliate today.

We got an event coming up this evening, an affiliate event here in Richmond. So we're looking forward to that. We'll tell you a little bit more about that as we go forward in the program. But the Kamala Harris, the big, this interview where I think everybody is waiting to see whether or not Bear puts the screws to her, whether or not he asks the tough questions. Now, he says that he knows, that they know that the campaign is aware that they have to change up their strategy and that they need, you know, new tactics and they have to do more outreach. And I just think that that's something that the campaign probably should have thought of. I don't know, maybe right when they first began, right when they first switched out, old Joe Biden with Kamala Harris. Maybe that was one of the things they should have

thought about from the get-go. But they didn't. And so now they're in this weird predicament of having to boost her, not just name recognition, but awareness of her, well, I guess her, I would say her policy positions. They're really Biden's policy positions. but she's having to really push. She's losing in all all demos across the board. I got some polling for you coming up on that we're going to dive into. And at some of these battleground states,

she's sliding. I don't know what she can do at this point to manufacture the momentum needed in order to boost her ahead of Trump going into November. So, and it doesn't help that, you know, be real, I just got to be real with you. She got a dumbass on her ticket. This guy, Tim Wall, I mean, out of all, you had,

she could have had Josh Shapiro. Now, for our sakes, I'm glad she didn't, because that would have been a lot more difficult for Republicans. So she picked Tim Walts for some reason. And this guy cannot, he just can't stop putting his foot in his mouth. That's the other thing. I wrote about this. If you are a subscriber over at chapter and verse, the newsletter, there was an interesting soundbite that he had. He was at an event.

He's in his flannel, right? And we all know that he's, he can't stand upward economic mobility. He's got a major problem with it. But I've never seen anybody that really tries to make themselves seem as dumb as he does. Listen to this. This is Audio Soundbite 10. And Senator Vance, he became a media darling.

He wrote a book about the place he grew up, but the premise was was trashing that place where he grew up, rather than lifting it up. This guy's a venture capitalist, cosplaying like he's a cowboy or something. It does most of the time. time. And he says in this audio soundbite, if we have it, he goes, I don't even know what a venture capitalist is. I don't even know what a venture capitalist does most of the time. Most of the time. What does it even mean?

I mean, this is the, you don't have to be a Wall Street whiz to understand basic economic activity. I mean, you don't have, but that's, that isn't the issue here. The issue is that this ticket, they believe that in order to sound like the average everyday guy, that you have to sound like, you know, a complete economic literate. And that's, I mean, this isn't the first time that he said this either. Remember, he jumped on Vance for being a Harvard grad. I think this was part of his speech when he was at the DNC. He was hitting Vance for being a Harvard grad, which was ironic considering the number of Harvard grads that were on stage of the DNC. So he, Walses previously said that he owns no property. He doesn't own any stock. I don't even think that he can define what unrealized gains are. I don't even, I mean, can he even define what a venture capitalist is? But he wants to make these decisions. about all of this stuff for you anyway. He doesn't know what unrealized gains are. I can't define it, but he wants to tax them anyway. And he thinks that he's entitled to the second highest office in the land to help make these decisions for all of us and our families. And that's, I mean, that's the whole crux of what they believe. That's their ideology. I mean, he was hitting Vance for saying that he was trashing where he comes from. He's not trashed where he came from. He was celebrating where he came from, but he did grow up.

as a statistic and he escaped from that. But that's not what Wallace wants to hit. Because see, Democrats, they have this horrible, abusive narrative that you are realer, that you are, that you are more of an everyday person if you are unremarkable in terms of savings or accomplishments. And crediting a person for their hard work, whether it's economic, you know, upward mobility or what, crediting someone for their hard work, means that there's less glory to give to the government because the government didn't have a role

in that creation. And if there's one thing that big government loves, it's glory. So if you have too many people that think like J.D. Vance and not only believe in upward economic mobility, but make it happen for themselves, then other people might start believing that they too can lift themselves into a higher economic status through sheer hard work without the government to help. That's what the government wants you to think, that only the government can help you. That is the whole thing of Harris Walls. Only the government can help. And if you make yourself without the government, well, that's frowned upon because it lessens

the stature of the government. And simultaneously, it shows the true limitations of its power. It's weird. I was thinking about this last night flying out to Richmond because big government ideology is like a reverse aristocracy. You know, like back in the day where you would have like actual gentlemen didn't work, right? They just earned a living off of the land that they had people lease and work. I mean, that was, that's how, you know, true gentlemen, they were gentlemen of leisure. They didn't, they didn't work. That was, that's the nobility. That's the aristocracy.

Big government ideology is creating a reverse aristocracy here in the United States where the government creates vassals who are dependent upon federal entitlements. And if you, in federal entitlements, and if you work to change your status, that's considered gauche. Just like it's considered gauche for a nobleman to work. It's considered gauche for you to want to work and to propel yourself forward into a different economic status.

That's the left. That's their ideology. I mean, you can say what you want of Vance and you can say that, well, he's, you know, you can disagree with him on policy or whatever, but he overcame growing up a statistic. I mean, he propelled himself into a higher life station through hard work. And Walsh holds this against him. I mean, Walsh went to China, I guess, instead of going to Harvard.

But yet he's also simultaneously trying to make it seem like he is the one who's more down to earth. He is the one more capable of representing average Americans in every way. except ambition. And that's the thing. Americans are a very ambitious bunch, even the average everyday ones. Be they born here or legally immigrated, it is a hallmark of being American. It's one of the things that we are known for worldwide. And this idea, this trajectory of upward economic mobility that used to be a shared trait of both the right and the left, and then somehow the left decided to go full Marxist. And they wanted to keep poor people poor by robbing them of incentive and ambition,

because that's a great way to control them. We used to have, Democrats used to be, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. And that turned into, well, we got $20,000 for you here to buy a house. And we got loans based on race now and taxpayer-funded gender surgeries. That's what they propose. No, the rich people are fine if they're the Bill Gates's of the world and they extoll the virtues or blessings of big government. But if you're a renegade like Elon Musk and you don't stick to the script, well, that's considered a no-no.

That's frowned upon. This is the thing. I mean, it goes to show you whenever I hear Tim Walls talk about this stuff. Like they don't get the people that they're cosplaying for and all their flannel and their camouflage. I mean, these are all farmers. They're small business folks. They're factory folks. They're people for whom inventiveness has had to become an art form because of this economy.

And these people, they want to achieve like Vance. They don't want to stew in mediocrity like walls. Someone who achieved it for themselves, that's a way more appealing candidate than somebody who hasn't. Somebody who refuses to. Somebody who mocks and looks down upon others who actually succeed. And honestly, this is why they're slipping in the polls. Early voting in Georgia, you know, for all the Jim Crow that Georgia said to have had, how many times did you hear that over the past couple of years?

Oh my gosh, you can't give anybody a bottle of water. A record number of early votes have been cast in Georgia Tuesday. Everybody's been heading to the polls. They had over 328,000 ballots cast yesterday. That's according to the Secretary of State's office. It was a record-breaking first day of early voting and accepted absentees. They posted on X that they had 328,000 total votes cast so far. The previous record was set in 2020, and that was 136,000.

Now, Georgia is considered a swing state. And this is one of the reasons why I was kind of, you know, I was whenever Trump and Kemp argue, I'm like, oh, Kemp's got 63% approval in Georgia. The Republican Party in Georgia, they're very, Georgians are very protective of their own, kind of how Floridians are. So you don't want to be making any, you don't want to be causing no problems with nobody there. So it's going to be very interesting to see how many of these, if it's Republican, if it's Democrat, and I'm sure we're going to get these surveys as they turn out,

because that's going to be a great measure of enthusiasm, a great measure of enthusiasm. And in every place where you can chase those ballots and early vote and do all of that stuff, where legal, Republicans should be outdoing it. So this is a huge, that's a huge, huge number. So we're going to get into some of this. Also, you got Michelle Obama going to Georgia. On behalf of Harris, we're going to get into that. We're also going to touch on some other things this November.

The known unknowns. I got some surveys for you. And I also need the Republicans to not stick their feet in their mouths. It would be great, especially on hot button issues. where you see the right and the left and the center and the independence and everybody else kind of coalescing on the same square. We need to keep everybody on deck here. We got a lot on we got a lot coming up. We're here in Richmond at our affiliate and we are, we got an event tonight.

And like I said, we'll be talking more about it. I'll be, I'll have it up on Instagram and I'm sure Facebook and all that as well. But we're here in Richmond.

So apparently Coca-Cola had to recall 13,152 cases of Minutemate Zero Sugar Lemonade because they actually put sugar in it. They said it was incorrectly packaged and it was put in a carton labeled no zero sugar when it's, in fact, it has like a ton of sugar in it. So they've recalled it because there's sugar in it. And I know that there's people that, you know, like whether they're, you know, people who have health conditions like diabetes, they, you know, watch what sugar they intake.

So double check it. that Minut-Made Zero Sugar stuff. They were called over 13,000 cases of it. Bruce Pack, a meat recall. I don't even know what Bruce Peck is. Bruce Peck Meat Recall includes a number of foods from Trader Joe's Kroger and more. There's a big old list out there that you can look up because they said that they had 12 million pounds of meat and poultry contaminated with Listeria. The products were disclosed by the USDA just last week.

And it's like the Mexican-style street corn salad at Kroger, the Wegman's salad bowl, chicken and uncured bacon. They also have like Taylor Farms, Boston Market, 7-11, all these, rouse, all kinds of stuff. So there's, they detected Listeria and samples of ready to eat poultry during routine testing. Ooh, ooh, not good.

50 well-preserved Viking Age skeletons unearthed in Denmark. I'm pretty sure that this is how the world ends. So put them back. They said that a village and central Denmark, archaeologists made a landmark discovery that could hold important clues to the Viking era.

It is a Viking burial ground And they said that there are 50 Exceptionally Well Preserved Skeletons Why would you go mess around with that stuff? We've seen everything that's happening in the world right now, right? I mean, we're not even that far off away from the Rona. Let's just, you know, then that whole nightmare. Let's just stop messing with the stuff.

They said it's an exciting fine. They found these skeletons that are so well preserved. That's the archaeologist Michael Borlindo who led the... That's how you got to say his name. It's a Scandinavian. There's like a line through the O. Led the six-month dig.

He said, Normally, they would be lucky to find a few teeth, but now they have entire skeletons that are very excited about that. So they, I mean, they got photos of it and everything over at Associated Press. I still think they need to put them back because this is how bad stuff happens. The water supply in Southern California, they're warning, engineers are warning that you could actually be crippled if, heaven forbid, there's like an earthquake or something. They said that they need to get on that stat, according to a bunch of engineers in SoCal. They said the earthquake is inevitable. The disaster is not. They have the San Andreas fault down there. And they said that they've got to, they need to make sure that they're,

they're securing their water supplies and that what they have, their infrastructure can withstand it. It's kind of scary. Hunter Biden has revived his lawsuit against Fox News over the explicit images used in a streaming series. Now, he's suing Fox because the trial of Hunter Biden, which they had on their Fox Nation thing. It included a mock trial of Biden on charges that he hasn't actually faced yet. And it was weird because he filed suit first in July. Then he dropped the suit three weeks later the same day that Joe Biden dropped out of the race. And then now he's filed an identical suit on Tuesday.

So we'll have more on that as it progresses. Stick around. We've got a lot more in store, including November polling and more.

The misinformation fight. Boy, do I have some misinformation for you. This is something that Kamala Harris was asked about, she was talking to Charlemagne in a recent interview, and she was asked about miss and disinformation. I just want you to hear what she says here. Before I give you this story of actual misinformation, go ahead and play this, audio 7 by 4. one of the biggest challenges that I face is missing disinformation and it's purposeful because it is meant to convince people that they somehow should not believe that the work that I have done has occurred

and has meaning so well she hasn't really done any work I mean that's you know I mean good heavens she hasn't um so that's kind of interesting but when she talks about miss and disinformation. This is what really stuck out to me. And it's this story, and I tweeted about it a little bit earlier, and I'm going to make sure that if you're a newsletter subscriber, that you get this, because this is something that you're going to want to bookmark. This was a very interesting stealth edit from the FBI. And my friend John lot caught this over on behalf of real clear investigations. So remember when the FBI was saying, oh, crime was, crime is, is down. Oh, I mean, it's actually up. Sorry, we messed up.

They were trying to say that crime had fallen. And this was, you know, in the wake of restorative justice and all this other nonsense. They were, they were trying to tell people that, no, no, no, crime is actually, guys, crime is down. We don't, that was a huge talking point. Because Trump was, Trump was trying to tell people, no, guys, crime is up. We got to do something about it. The recidivism is out of control. And Democrats were pushing back on that. And so when the FBI released, and this was back in, so it's always a year behind. So in September of 23, they released their crime data for 2022.

And when they released their data for 2022 in September of last year, they were saying that the violent crime rate had fallen by over 2%. And that was a big talking point that they were using. to push back against what Trump had been saying about the soaring crime rate. But very, very quietly, the FBI has revised their numbers. And instead, now they released new data showing that violent crime. So remember, they were trying to say that violent crime in 2022 had fallen by over 2%. It actually increased by almost 5%.

The new data that they, very surreptitiously released, includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults. And the Bureau, when they came out with their press release just last month, they made no mention of this. They said nothing about their revisions. They very quietly revised it and then they said nothing about it. They wanted it to still be a talking point. And real clear investigations just kind of happened to find it because of a cryptic and purposefully. So, that's how they said. It was a cryptic reference, they said, and I think it was done that on purpose. They had a thing on their website, like buried in it where it was saying the 2022

violent crime rate has been updated for inclusion in CIUS 2023. but they didn't mention, they just said it had been updated. They didn't mention that the numbers increased. And in fact, you can only see the change if you download the PDF of their crime data, and you compare it to the PDF file that they released last year. They don't tell you. They just said it's been updated. You don't even know what those updates are.

So they released, after they released this, USA Today, they had their headline, Violent Crime, Drop, for a third year straight in 2023, including murder and rape. USA Today, Associated Press, Reuters, AFP, everywhere. Now, the revised data was released three weeks ago. And it was released, and they had surreptitiously changed it on their website before they released their new data and before the September 2024 press release. and they made zero mention of the revisions or that the talking point that all these news outlets are running with is wrong.

It's all wrong. They purposefully hit it. Rural Clear Investigations was asking the FBI about these revisions, which they say are extensive. John Lott over at Rural Clear Investigations dove into it. The FBI, by the way, hasn't responded. They won't respond. The updated data, get this.

How much do you think it's updated by? How many more crimes do you think? So, for instance, the 2022 report, which is what we're discussing, there were over 80,000 more violent crimes than there were in 2021. These revisions that they're not telling you about, they just said updated, it included almost 1,700. new murders. Over 7,000, almost 8,000 rapes. Almost 34,000 robberies. Over 37,000 aggravated assaults. So how can you believe any of their numbers? These are, these revisions, this is, I don't know how you miss 7,780 rapes. How do you miss 1,699 murders? Or, for instance, how do you miss 33,459 robberies?

How do you miss over 80,000 violent crimes? And you just don't tabulate them in to the final number. Because they were hell-bent on giving Democrats this talking point of having reduced crime. They didn't want to have to face the reality of this rot, this restorative justice, and these politicized DAs. I mean, this is crazy. This isn't the only, by the way, this follows what the Bureau of Labor Statistics is done.

Remember how they made up? They literally made up the number of jobs created. And then we find out that these jobs just are literally, they were nothing. RCI is very generous. They said they massively overestimated. I say they made them up thousands of jobs. This is crazy.

So how, I mean, How does this, I mean, they look at like information from police departments. I know that they have to make estimates for cities that don't input data, but this is insane. I mean, they know they can kind of predict. They can see. They just didn't include this. And I mean, this was one of the things that they kept trying to say that Trump was fear mongering on. So here you have deception in another government entity.

You have deception in the FBI. You have deception in the Bureau of Labor Statistics. You have deception in almost every single government agency now. And then government officials and Democrats wonder why it is that no one trust these government agencies. They create, they wanted to create a ministry of misinformation and go after people for correctly questioning things related to the government injections, a.k.a. quote-unquote, vaccines.

They want to go after people who challenge their narratives, and they label that as misinformation. This is actual misinformation. It's purposeful. It was designed to shut people up who were criticizing Democrat-run cities where crime is out of control. If you want to have a discussion about misinformation, the call is coming from inside the house.

But yeah, right-wing misinformation is the issue. That's what you're led to believe. That's what she, going back to that audio sound by Kamala Harris, was talking about. Yeah, it's just, it's just right-wing misinformation. Sure, sure, sure. Now, a couple of other things to note, to note, North Carolina, the governor there, Mark Robinson is suing CNN over that bombshell report. Remember, we covered it a little bit, how he's a lieutenant governor there now. He was behind before this story broke.

he's looking to sue CNN over the report that he made explicit, racial, and sexual posts on a porn website and he said that the reporting was reckless and defamatory and he's seeking $50 million in damages.

And this is a weird case. It's a weird case because they, you know, everybody, they went through the whole Nick Sandman thing and I don't, it seemed like they were kind of taking some care to not make that mistake twice, number one. But number two, I mean, they were,

you know, were making, they were, it seemed like they were trying to vet the information and, and, and, and, and that it was some of the similar information that he had used elsewhere or something to that line of effect. The thing is, is that you get into whether or not someone's a public figure, and that's a really high, it's a high bar to, to hit. I mean, it's weird because, you know, you would think that, like Sandman, for instance, he wasn't a public figure. He wasn't considered a public figure by, you know, previous court cases. There isn't that legal precedent. I mean, now, Robinson obviously, is a public figure.

And that's the Sullivan case, because the Sullivan case was the, that was, that's the standard that, that established that. So the plaintiffs have to, they have to prove that the claims are false. But he's going to have to have to, Robinson would have to prove that CNN, and, and, you know, And the guy does a K-file over there, that they, that he would have to prove that they knew that the stories were false and yet acted upon them anyway with a level of disregard that would count as malice, actual malice. And I mean, that's going to be, that's going to be a really, I mean, there's a reason that's a high bar to pass. and I think they did a they, it seems like they were trying to cross-check stuff and not get into another Nick Sandman thing. You guys remember him, the Covington kids who went, who were there and they were attacked by these adults and all the media outlets smeared them. But what Robinson needs to do here, and a friend of mine was talking about this, my friend was saying, well, this isn't so much a legal case, it's a political case at this point.

And I think that's a good point. I mean, he's got to, you know, he's got to make this, it's a political case more. He's got to make a political fight against it, more so than a legal fight against it. But I don't think that that's enough to, because he was already trailing his opponent in the gubernatorial election before this broke. But there's a lot of stuff involved in that. And that's, I mean, he'll be litigating that for a long time. And we'll see how that unfolds. We have more to hit as we roll towards the conclusion of this first hour. And we got a lot still to touch on, including I've got some.

new polling for you. We're also going to get into some of the GOP stuff. I need GOP to not stick their feet in their mouths. And we also have the latest with this current administration, particularly as it relates to Israel and others. So we got a lot still to hit as we roll towards, again, the conclusion of this first hour.

So for days of these United States, since we're in a different studio, we don't have our stinger. I'm thinking audio sound like 18, Steve, who's behind the board today. That's what I'm thinking for days of these United States. I'm so tired of hearing people fearmonger over this. This is the Lincoln Project, which is a weirdo group. Listen. Put yourself in the mindset that the Trump campaign really doesn't think it can win. Either the popular vote or the electoral college.

You look at this campaign, it makes no sense. He's not trying to add voters. What they want to do is they want to win the election night until the inauguration. And if they can go in and they can violently disrupt these counting centers, how will states be able to certify elections? He burned down a county center in Arizona. How does the governor certify those elections? I mean, where is this coming from? They're going to burn down election centers.

Where is this coming from? I mean, there's just like, can you imagine just like going on television and just saying whatever? you know, pops into your head. Where is this talking point coming from? That they're going to sit here and burn down election centers in the cities where black voters. It's just so stupid. The only people saying this are actual racists. They're,

the fear-mongering. Can we just have a normal election? Is it just possible at one time? Just have like a normal election. I feel like we're due. Like a normal, boring election. Like, oh, people are going out and voting. All the lines are long.

There you go. Parking's tough. Like, why can't that be the biggest thing? Why does it got to be like a hot mess like this all the damn time? Just, I want the biggest issue to be parking, right? Or maybe people are waiting in line, that's all. Like, I mean, this stuff is just so goofy. It doesn't, I keep, like, what apparently like Joy Behar was saying something to this effect on the view.

I mean, where do these people, I feel like they're actualizing the stuff that they want to see. that's they want to see this stuff that's what it feels like i don't know i just um i got some we got some polling coming up for you including one you pull this up from rasmussen where they they asked the question that i think everybody's been really wondering and it was the question that reagan asked americans when he was running against carter in 1980 and jimmy and ronald ragan asked, are you better off today than you were four years ago? And the answer in the Rasmussen survey, it was a telephone and online survey. And they found that it was by a 16 point margin.

The majority of voters said no to that question. Are you better off than you were four years ago? most people said no. And these are, now it's likely voters, not registered voters. And it's just a little over a thousand. But I feel like it's such a common refrain that I think that if you were to even switch it from likely to register, that it would be the same. And they, I mean, they said that, I mean, the majority, the vast majority, that I mean, that's a 16.56%.

They're not better off. This is the question of 2024. Second hour on the way. Stick with us. We're live from WRVA in Richmond today. Back with more. Life can take a toll on our bodies. There's no way around it. And whether it's just sitting for hours on end at your computer

And we are here broadcasting live from WRVA, our affiliate and Richmond. We got a big event tonight that we're going to be having. And of course, going over all the political, all the politics. I got some polling for you. We got, we got Tim Walsh talking about how everyone else is a pretender, but he's not. Audio sound bite 12. Kill us all now. I know guns. I'm a veteran. I'm a hunter. I'm a gun owner. I know most of these are cosplaying like they're tougher. They know guns because they really don't. Someone totally taught him that word because he has no idea what it means. I actually don't want to, I, I was thinking about this the other day, and I'm guilty of it.

I've been calling him Elmer Fudd. Actually, I've been calling him just a Fudd. And I actually, I think that's wrong. And I think that I'm being very mean when I do this. And I don't want to be mean. You know, it's New Year and New Me, not really. I don't want to be mean to Elmer Fudd when I talk about this stuff, because Elmer Fudd knew what the hell he was doing.

I mean, you know, he was a dumb ass, but Elmer Fudd knew what he was doing. Elmer Fudd knew how to handle his gun. Even when Bugs Bunny tied it into a bow, he knew how to handle his gun. And Tim Wals doesn't. I mean, I watched the guy put the stock in his groin

while he's trying to level. What are you doing? But, I mean, I still can't get over it. I mean, this is the guy who like, he couldn't even load his shotgun for crying out loud. And he didn't shoot a single pheasant, by the way, when he was doing that. But I

don't know. I I, like he, he handled his shotgun like he didn't, he never handled it before. He had no idea what he was doing. He was wearing brand new brush pants. I've never met any hunter that has like a clean outfit on unless they had to get it. They got one to replace their nasty one. Like he had like his orange, his reflective, nothing on it. His brush pants looked like they were out of the bandbox, like all brand new. I mean, he looks, he just looked like he looked like he was like cosplaying. That's. why I think someone taught him that word. I mean, this guy's overstated his military service. He said that he was, you know, a combat vet. He was never a combat vet. He talked about carrying weapons onto the battlefield. He was never on the battlefield. He didn't, he said he was a command sergeant major and he wasn't. He didn't retire as a command sergeant major. So, I mean, this is, he gets flack because it's part of his ongoing, like, record. It's part of his, you know, because he's built up this body of ridicule for himself.

I know guns. I'm a hunter. I'm a gun owner. And I know most of these are caught. Who is he talking about most of these? Cost plain like they know guns. What the hell does that have to do with being for or against Second Amendment rights either? I know people who are on the right that don't own a single gun. I mean, I had, I mean, I talked to Vivek Ramoswamy. He didn't even own a gun. But he doesn't, he's not against the Second Amendment. it doesn't want to ban quote unquote assault weapons. Tim Walsh wants to do all those things.

So the issue is what do you want to do with other people's rights? I mean, for a guy that makes the thing out of, oh, mind your own business. Mind your own business. I mean, he certainly wants to get all up in everybody else's business. Gosh, he is such a drag on the Harris ticket. It really is stunning to me. Can I just take a moment?

It was so, it's stunning to me how much of a drag. he is on that ticket. I mean, you have two supremely unpopular candidates. He's unpopular in his own home state, by the way. You have two super unpopular candidates. I mean, you would think that they'd cancel each other out at some point. This, now on the Republican side of things, I need Republicans to not make things difficult for themselves going into a very close election. All right, so everybody have a seat because we're about to say, we're about to have a conversation here. It's got to be a little troubling That's what we're

We have to talk about this I wrote about this if you again Get the newsletter I wrote about this on the newsletter As I was asking a question about this I'm like okay I've got some questions I don't understand what

His point was here And of course I'm talking about This soundbite From 45 From Trump He was at It was like the Bloomberg It was the Bloomberg News

Economic Forum And I just thought this was, I'm trying to figure out why he said this. Listen to this. Look, this is a party, the Republican Party of Common Sense. Forget about conservative, liberal. We're, let's say conservative, but we're really a party of, we need borders, we need fair elections. We don't want men playing in women's sports. We don't want transgender operations without parental consent.

Yeah, there's so many things, but it's 99.9% is common sense. Okay, so when he says we don't, this is the thing that a lot of people were pointing out, and they were asking about, what does this mean when you're talking about we don't want transgender operations without parental consent? Because I didn't think we wanted any, you know, with or without parental consent, because the issue is minors. And I have another soundbite where he was with Harris Fawkes. at her like Georgia women's form thing, which we're going to play where they talked about

sports. But this isn't about sports. This is about the experimental surgery on the genitals of minors, like the kids, kids who haven't hit puberty or haven't finished going through puberty. And just to remind people what specifically we're talking about, like breast removal, like removal of your reproductive organs, you know, penile removal. That's the kind of stuff we're talking about, right? And I know some more questioning whether or not he misspoke. I mean, there hasn't really been any clarification on it. I just, I thought that the official Republican position was against any, you know, experimental

genital surgery or chemical castration or whatever on minors. There's someone who was on X, and I thought it was kind of, I don't know, they weren't smartest, they weren't the brightest bulb in the box, but they said, well, you know, we shouldn't be tricked into tyranny. We can't allow the government to dictate things to parents. I mean, I get what you're saying, but I've never really viewed laws against child abuse as being tyrannical or laws against child endangerment as being tyrannical, you know, anything like that for that matter. I mean, there's, we're talking about minors. We're not talking about grown adults making decisions for themselves as adults. We're talking about minors. We're talking about children. And when you don't

have parents that are protecting children, then I mean, who protects the children? I think ultimately, it seems like the issue headed for a debate, it's over whether or not it's a state issue or a federal government issue. But that's not what, that's not what POTIS said, though, and that sound bite. I also think it begs the question of that any of this is informed consent. And none of it is. I mean, there's zero long-term studies on juvenile hormone abuse, and there are zero long-term studies on the long-term effects that these surgeries have on the kids who get them.

I mean, there's no way to credibly fully inform a child as to what their life is going to be like long-term after such a surge. beyond the absolute certainty of future surgeries and a lifetime of, you know, prescription medications. I mean, I just don't know why we would risk with message discipline any kind of why we, I mean, I don't understand the messaging on that. So, like, are some? I mean, what's the line? It's okay to experiment on the general.

surgery of minors if the parents agree if the parents want to live out activist lives through their children and have them and be subject to surgery. I just don't, I mean, that's not, I don't know how anybody can make that. I mean, we don't, there's a reason why, you know, you have laws against child abuse. I mean, if a parent wants to beat their kid to death in the street, I mean, what, are we going to say, well, big government shouldn't get involved? Government shouldn't tell parents what to do. I mean, who protects the kid? Do, do people realize that they're arguing, they're making a pro-abortant? abortion argument. Well, you can't dictate to people what they do with their kids. If somebody

wants to abort their baby, do you see how that argument, that logic can be used? I mean, who protects the life of the child? Who protects the health of the child? That's a huge question. And it's weird because it's an issue that even, you know, the coveted moderates cited with conservatives on. So I'm not sure what the angle is here. I don't exactly know what's to gain. by leaving the door cracked open for parents who consent to having their perfectly healthy child mutilated before puberty. Like parental consent makes it less abusive somehow? I don't know what 45 is getting at here. Here he is.

He's talking about, though, he's more clearer here on the issue of women in women's sports. This is from this Harris-Faulkner forum that he did with, was it women, Georgia voters? Just women? Oh, it's airs tonight. So this was a teaser. This is, he did it with Harris Faulkner, and this is with the voters in Georgia, and it airs tonight. Listen. How do you plan on addressing the transgender issue in women's sports?

I have nine grandchildren, six of them female, all playing sports, and we are very concerned for their safety, not just on the field and the courts, but in their locker rooms as well. Right. It's such an easy question, and everybody in the room, and you know that answer, we're not going to let it happen. You look just yesterday, they had a volleyball match. Did you see that? Where a person that transitioned, okay? We have to be very careful because this can terminate your political career if you say it's slightly off, all right? But transitioned from man to female and was on a volleyball.

And I saw the slam. It was a slam. I never saw a ball hit so hard, hit the girl on the head. But other people, even in volleyball, they've been permanently, I mean, they've been really hurt badly, women playing men, but you don't have to do the volleyball. We stop it. We stop it. We absolutely stop it. You can't have it. It's a man playing in the game. I mean, physically from a muscular even if it was a little bit less, maybe they do all sorts of tests and drugs and everything else. Look at what's happened in swimming. Look at the records that are being broken.

So how do you stop it? Do you go to the sports leagues? Do you go to the Olympic Countries? You just ban it. The president bans it. You just don't let it happen. Well, I mean, obviously, there's there's a little bit more nuance than, you know, he can't just, you can't just ban it. But, I mean, you're going to have to go through, you know, something. There has to, I don't know if it's like a Title IX thing or however they're going to go through it. But that's what he's, he's, he's, at least in terms of the objective that he wants to achieve, he's clearer there than he was when he's talking about the surgeries. So I just think it's too close. And Republicans got to be. so damn careful with messaging. So far, I don't know if that's, you know, an allowance, if parental consent, something that, you know, that changes it for them. I don't know. But, I mean, I, that's like the one area where you got a lot of moderates and independents that actually agree with conservatives on. I just don't want to lose, you know, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that,

Coming up, Doug Emhoff, he's trying to present. He's trying to make himself seem like a beta male. But don't buy it because it's a strategy that's designed to distract from the stories where he was slapping his girlfriend and the sexual harassment from apparently his colleagues and all of these other new reports to say nothing of him knocking up the nanny. So waiting to you hear what he says, he tries to make Kamala seem so tough. And he tries to make himself seem so soft. So we got that. We got a lot of stuff still to hit. We got headlines coming up next as we move.

Burn a gun. It's a non-firearm firearm, and they just want to give you an extra option for self-defense. I'm always going to encourage people to carry, and I have zero issue at all whatsoever with using any kind of lethal force to protect myself or my family. But there are times when I'm not able to carry everywhere. I've got friends who live in D.C. in New York, and even though they got their hard to get carry lines. licenses. So many of these places are gun-free zones. And if they have to go there for their job,

they can't carry their gun there. So they needed another option. You've seen the crime rights there. They both got my, actually, there's three of them. Three of my friends got the Burna SD. Now, that's their most popular model. The Burn a gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. It's a good deterrent. And now they have another option for self-defense. And they got the Burna SD. That's the most popular model. If you, you know, compared to other stun guns, stun guns, if you compare it to a stun gun, stun guns, stun guns have like one or two shots. But the Burna SD is five rounds.

And so you've got five rounds for your defensive purposes. They have different models and they have all kinds of accessories and projectiles and that. But the SD is the most popular one. It's legal in all 50 states. There's no background check or permit. It can be shipped right to your door and doesn't care about gun-free zone signs at all whatsoever. Learn more about the Burna gun.

So Kamala Harris blames the marijuana rescheduling delay on DEA bureaucracy. Of course, she's also having to defend her own prosecutorial record in which she put. Actually, I think the number ended up being like over. It ended up being something like over what, almost 2,000 people in jail for marijuana-related offenses. But they've been reclassifying the drug through the DEA.

And she says that the delay is because of just the bureaucracy and the DEA, almost like you're the vice president. Maybe you could have done something. I don't know. Maybe you could have done something about it. There's a possibility. Former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee is recovering after he was shot in Las Vegas multiple times during a, it was a street dust up, apparently according to his management.

He was out walking his dog. Police say it was completely random. And they said that they're keeping private. And they just announced it and that was pretty much it. But they have nothing on suspects, nothing on, you know, what they think motivated it. I'm sure it couldn't have been drugs. Probably wouldn't a drug deal, right? Probably wasn't.

Just saying. A student from China received a six-month prison term because they were one of the people taking drone photos over a naval shipyard. The one-time graduate student was studying agricultural engineering at the University of Minnesota. Interesting. Who else is from Minnesota? Tim Walls, just saying, interesting. But they got a six-month prison term for flying this drone over this naval yard.

And this has been like one of several stories where there have been like swarms of drones, flying over military sites and things like that. But the individual, it was, it has to be on court supervision. He was on court supervision for a year after his release. It's a World War II era statute that's part of the Espionage Act. and the individual Fang Yun Shi, 26 years old, was sentenced in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, pled guilty to two misdemeanor counts, abusive aircraft for unlawful photographing of a designated installation without authorization. So, interesting. Again, not the first time. Walgreens is closing over 1,200 stores.

The drug chain is struggling to contend with online competitors and a declining and declining, and declining, prescription drug payments. So by 2027, about one in seven Walgreens currently open will close its doors. 500 will close their doors in the next year they announced yesterday. This is a significant escalation from a few months ago when they announced that they were closing 300 underperforming locations as part of a multi-year optimization programs. So now they're closing a heck of a lot more. And this is kind of goofy. The an ex-FDA food chief is saying that be careful over breakfast foods that are potentially infected with H5N1. They're saying that, oh, it's because of the bird flu and they're talking about eggs and raw eggs pose the biggest risk. And so be careful with soft boiled eggs and poached eggs, et cetera.

He's trying so hard. to like seem soft because of all the stories that came out about him slapping that chick his like girlfriend at the time I guess when they were in line like the busiest thing ever they're in line at the valet at can film festival and he just back hands her because he got mad because somebody was she was he said thought she was flirting at least that's the

report that that's come in and then of course there's all these colleagues former colleagues of his that have been speaking out and then let's not forget he knocked up the nanny so I feel like he's trying to go above and beyond making himself seem soft and as a way to just discredit that reporting. This is how he's doing it. Listen to this. Audio Soundbite 13. Listen to what he says here. I was right. So it it was, I was in L.A. It was during that weekend when all the planes were down because of the software glitch. So I had to spend an extra day in L.A. I decided, to go to a cycling class with some friends. And it was an hour hour class. And we were just chit-chat. And I had my phone in the Secret Service car, so I didn't have my phone. And then my friend's partner

just showed me his phone with the letter from President Biden. And I'm like, got to go. And just ran into the car. And there was my phone literally like you could feel the steam, seven or eight messages all with, you know, where are you? Call Kamala, call Kamala. And it was a one-minute or less conversation, which started with, we're the F for you. I need you right now and basically get to work. I mean, it doesn't really put her in the most flattering light, does it?

I mean, that sounds rough. But it also, I feel like he's trying to make himself seem super soft. I think he thinks that that plays well with the base. And also that helps him against all those accusations that have been coming out. I mean, really, it's, it's, I don't know. There's, they're just a mess. They're just a mess.

They just, I mean, he just makes her look really bad, I think. In the meantime, I got, we have so much audio. We got audio coming in now. I wanted to get, I'm going to get one more of walls and then we're going to switch to culture stuff. But I just got to play audio sometime by 11 because this makes him, again, it's like he's trying to purposefully sound like a dumbass. Listen. But he walks into this grocery store and he hands a $100 bill to a lady to pay for his grocery.

Did you see this? So I'm like thinking, I wonder what he's doing there. And then I got to thinking, I think it's just natural. Any woman he sees he pays off because he did something on there. I'm just, I don't know. Wow. He just intimated that that woman was a hoe. That's what he just did. He just intimated that that woman, that there was some impropriety there. That's like, why say anything about it at all?

I mean, surely there is enough if Walsh wants to criticize Trump for him to criticize without doing that and dragging that poor lady in it. Walses, Walsh isn't, he didn't give her no money. Wals ain't been giving nobody no money. Gawley. So these people are. All right, can we switch up and a couple of things here? I want to get, let's see, what do we have?

Let's see, what do we have? I wanted, I got some, we're going to get into some of the culture stuff, but I have to play this issue, this, this Elise, Alyssa Slokkin audio. So I saw this. I actually tweeted about it this morning because this when I first saw it was this morning. And Alyssa Slokin is, she was like talking smack about Mike Rogers. And she's from Michigan and she's running for Senate. And so she's, she's, She tweets this or post, I guess, because it's X now, this thing where she says gun violence is the number one killer of children. Listen to her under 21 in our country. Listen to the claim that she's making. All you need to know is gun violence is the number one killer of children under 21 in our country. Are you going to do something about it or are you not? My opponent doesn't want to do anything about it. Right. And why? Because he is 100% rating with the gun lobby and they give him campaign donations. What is like children under 21? What that? hell does that even mean? What is children under 21? I mean, the study, what she's talking about are these CDC numbers? And I discussed this. I tweeted about it. The CDC defines 18, 19, and 20 year olds as children. And they include the majority gang and drug violence from that age. demo to pump up the numbers so that they can scare people, scare families into thinking that their kids are just like at any time now, they're going to be statistics. And it's going to be a mass

shooting or shooting or something. They do this all the time. And so this isn't the first time that these people have been making this claim. In fact, you can go and look. I mean, the CDC, remember, the CDC also removed from their website, defensive gun usage after they were pressured by the every town and the Brady group and the, all these other gun control advocates, because they said that the inclusion of defensive gun usage actually imperiled their agenda. They're the narrative that they wanted to push because defensive gun usage is outweigh criminal usage like three to one. It's crazy. But the CDC includes 18 through 20 year olds as kids. I mean, you're a legal adult by the age 18, but a CDC, you're a baby. Maybe that's why like some of the left things

Hunter Biden's like an infant, I don't know. But when you look at, when you take away the gang and drug violence, when you take away the 18 to 20 year olds, firearms actually aren't the biggest killer. It's vehicles and suffocation. In fact, suffocation and one of the recent overtook vehicle fatalities, actually, which is usually it's vehicle deaths. Firearm deaths and vehicle deaths, when you remove that demo, vehicle deaths exceed firearms. deaths for like every year.

The third of them, of the firearm fatalities for those under 20, 18, 19, and 20-year-olds, one third, actually over a third of those, involve homicide. And the 20% of that, I mean, they're gang-related, drug-related. And so it doesn't matter if you ban guns or not, because that's the firearms that they have their in illegal possession of in the first place. It's not like they're going to gun stores and buying them and they can't run around with pistols, which, by the way, when you talk about the fire and fatalities from that age demo, it's, it's handguns. And they're illegally obtained handguns. It's already illegal for an 18, 19, and 20 year old to be running around with a handgun.

And yet when you look at the, and the FBI has statistics, has data on this, if you, you know, believe it. But it's true. The handgun, because they're not running around with rifles. They're not running around with shotguns. running around with handguns. And the handguns that they have are illegally obtained. They're obtained on the black market. There's not like, you know, this huge deluge of retailers selling handguns to 18-year-olds and 19-year-olds and 20-year-olds and having them running around the city with them. They're illegally obtained. So banning guns is not going to change that structure.

It's not going to stop them from illegally obtaining them because they already illegally obtained them. That's why it's called a damn criminal act, FFS. Good grief. it's why it's a criminal act and furthermore you when you remove all of that it's vehicle death suffocations and drownings that's what ends up

becoming the biggest killer of children like actual children 18 and under so she's just lying to you on this and I gotta tell you I think it's soulless and ghoulish what these people do they lie and they purposefully misrepresent actual figures so they can just scare

the hell out of people into disarmament. I think it's disgusting and soulless for people like Slotkin to misrepresent tragedy like this to pimp for a political agenda. Using the deaths of children to pimp for political agendas. I think that's disgusting. If she had any self-awareness, she would feel grotesquely ashamed and not want to be seen in public. It's just infuriating. I mean, they actually lie to you to pump up those numbers. I'm not even getting into the ones that are suicides because that's also a significant chunk. But heaven forbid, we talk about mental health in this country. Too many Democrats would be inditing themselves if we did. That's the issue. Now, the other thing with this, from, I've got to talk about some of this cultural stuff. I don't, I've never, what is this, Shark Tank? I've never watched Shark Tank. I sure as hell haven't watched Canadian Shark Tank. Sounds even less enjoyable than just like the U.S. version. But what struck me about this was this actor. I don't even know who this guy is. And I forgot who he is. And I think I googled him last night when I was flying to

Richmond. And who the hell is this even guy? He is, nobody knows. He's a Canadian actor. He was in some Marvel cinematic, you know, nobody knows. He was, nobody knows. He does, he was one of the Ken dolls in Barbie. That's his big claim to fame. I am dead. He was one of the Ken dolls in Barbie. Was he the one that said he wanted to have, he wanted to beach off Ken? I think so. Yeah. Okay. It makes sense. So this guy is mad over a Boba tea company. And he criticizes, it's a company, I guess, that's like looking, I don't know, for

starting. And he gets mad at them and basically accuses them of appropriation. Listen to this. His name is Simuloo. I am studying your can and I am looking for anything that tells us. me where Boba came from. And where Boba came from is Taiwan. You know, I started this venture company for a lot of reasons, but really primarily to uplift minority entrepreneurs. And not only do I feel like this is not happening here, but that I would be uplifting a business that is profiting off of something that feels so dear to my cultural heritage. He's Chinese. I want to be a part of bringing Boba.

to the masses, but not like this. So for that reason, I'm out. So one of the other hosts on that show kind of tears into him a little bit. He's a Chinese actor living in Canada. Shut the hell up. Like he's sitting, he culturally appropriating offense over

what is actually, I guess, part of Taiwan. It's Bob, it's a damn drink. You absolute moron. It's a drink. I'm going to be offended and I'm going to say cultural appropriation because of this drink. You are no wonder he's only like his only big claim to fame is as a an extra an extra kin in the Barbie movie because this guy's is unremarkable in every way he's Chinese who lives in Canada and he's mad about appropriation of boba teeth on behalf of all of Taiwan I didn't realize that he was elected like king of all people who are of Asian descent I didn't realize that a Chinese Canadian actor is apparently king of everything that happens in Taiwan and gets to lecture one of those individuals by

by the way, that brought it up, I think was a minority business owner, but I guess it didn't count to Simuloo. And like, how dare you? I mean, everything is cultural appropriation then. You're speaking English, cultural appropriation. You're acting in, you know, a U.S. creation, cultural appropriation. You're in Canada, Canadian appropriate. It's cultural appropriation. I mean, we can sit here and do this all damn day. This is why this is so stupid. There's celebration and then there's appropriation. no one is appropriating by coming out with a boba tea drink no one is appropriating Taiwanese culture there people

that's like if you eat I guess what if he's Chinese Canadian so he can only eat Chinese Canadian food then and only use Chinese Canadian products and only do Chinese Canadian things because according to him everything else is appropriation so he should probably give up his career because that's also appropriation as well then isn't it I mean if he's like if he's a Ken doll if he's an extra in the Kinniverse, then, I mean, I don't know.

I feel like all that's appropriation. This is all so stupid. This is like he wanted, he thought that he could get attention for himself by being offended. I mean, really? You're going to, you're going to like do this to somebody over Bobatie? Jeez. These people are insufferable. We got more on the way as we rolled towards a conclusion of this second hour.

And we got Florida man coming up. You don't want to miss Florida man, Celtic. The lightest, thinnest 9mm on the market with double stack mag. It's the Caltech P15. I almost said PFF10. It's the Keltec P15. Two versions, metal and polymer. Metal version has the gorgeous walnut panels on it.

It's the P-15. Tell them, Dana, sent you. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. So do you guys remember the story?

This was like right when Hurricane Milton was happening, right, as it started, the terrified dog that had been tied to a fence and was left in like chest deep water during the hurricane? Well, they found the Florida man who did it. And that he's not, he was arrested and he's now being charged with animal abuse. Police spotted the dog on the side of the highway and on. October 9th right is right before Milton made landfall. The dog was terrified. It was a bull terrier and he was tied to a post. He was in chest deep floodwaters and they rescue his poor baby. They rescue the pup and they brought him back to safety and they he's got a home now and thankfully he I mean they

went after they went after the guy who did it. I was pulling this up. The individual who did it. This guy they named the they renamed the dog trooper and they charged the floor to me. They arrested the Florida man. He was charged with felony animal cruelty. And he faces a few years in prison. And I think maybe they should, the next hurricane, they should tie him to a fence post and leave him in chest deep water. Honestly, that's, and so good on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

He said that the guy who left the dog. In fact, we have this audio, don't we? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got DeSantis saying this about this Florida thug who left this poor pup tied to a fence during a hurricane. Listen to this. Somebody decide as Hurricane Milton approached that it would somehow be a good, thing to take his dog and chain it to a post on the interstate. Well, we had a Florida Highway Patrol with us here today that saw that dog in distress. Dog was very rattled from that experience.

Rescued the dog. The dog's now in Tallahassee. It will be adopted renamed Trooper. But we said at the time, you don't just tie up a dog and have them out there for a storm. Totally. unacceptable and we're going to hold you accountable where I'm proud to announce that the authorities have identified the dog's former owners and state attorney Susie Lopez is now pursuing animal cruelty charges against the individual. Good, good. I'm glad and he shouldn't be allowed to, don't let him own another animal. It's horrible. So I'm so happy that that had a happy ending because that could have been, that could have been bad. There was a story I read of a Florida family that found their cat. They couldn't get their cat inside. They were trying to get their cat inside before the

hurricane came and cats are going to do so what cats want to do. And then they ended up having to leave. They could not find their cat. They could not get their cat. So they had to leave and seek shelter. And apparently they did see their cat later on like one of those like door like, like, like, um, uh, like front door cameras. And the cat was like, I guess, trying to get away from the water. And they thought the cat had been washed away, but they ended up being reunited with it. So that's kind of crazy. So anyway. Let's see. This. I got a couple of others. bear with me. This story, this Florida Man story.

No, I want to do this one. Oh my gosh, this is the same guy. So remember Lieutenant Dan, guy who survived? Okay, so he's now they're trying. He's milkshake ducked. He has been officially milkshake ducked. The guy who rode out Hurricane Milton on a boat. He was on a kick live stream where he apparently dropped a slur.

And I don't know. I guess there now. canceled? Is he canceled? I don't know. I guess he's canceled now. I mean, I probably could have warned you something like that was going to happen. Stick with us. We've got a third hour on the way. Is being a good person always easy? Pastor Alan Jackson doesn't think so. But I'm so concerned that the message that we have imbibed has been that our faith is to make our lives more comfortable and about promotion. And God can certainly bring those things. But it's about serving him. And there's There are times there's a tremendous cost for that.

Subscribe to Culture and Christianity and Alan Jackson podcast on your favorite podcast app. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, top of this third hour. We're broadcasting out at WRVA today, our affiliate in Richmond, Virginia, where we are at for an event, a station event later today. So it's good to be with you. And don't forget, you can sign up for the newsletter over at Substack Chapter and Verse. is the name, lots of good stuff that goes out of there on the regular. In the meantime, Kamala Harris has been on her media blitz still, and she gave an interview

where she was talking to Charlemagne, she gave an interview, where she decided, you know, talking about race-based loans wasn't enough, giving everybody money to buy a house wasn't enough. Now, we're talking about taxpayer-funded reparations. Audio sound by five. Well, first of all, on the point of reparations, it has to be studied. There's no question about that. And I've been very clear about that position. In terms of my immediate plan, I will tell you a few of the following.

One, as it relates to the economy, which is a lot of what you have addressed. Look, I grew up in the middle class. My mother, you know, worked hard, raised me and my sister. She don't know how to answer this question. She does not know how to. It sounds like, I don't know, does it sound like she's not. on board with it all the way. I don't know if I believe that she's on board with it all the way. But the fact that she's even entertaining it and isn't going, no, that's stupid. That's just stupid.

You know why it's stupid? You're talking about making people who weren't even here when all this stuff. First off, it's so dumb. It's just, it's so stupid and it ignores the participation of people who are also on the continent of Africa who were selling their neighbors into slavery as well. And so I, I don't know, it's just the whole thing is stupid. And then, you know, like what happens to people if, you know, They're, you know, they have one black parent and one white parent. He's like 50% got a reparations? Like, how do we do that? Like, how is that? I mean, it's all dumb.

So she shouldn't even say, no, we're going to look at it. What she should say is that's stupid. We're not doing that. We're not making people. We're not having this discussion. That's what she should say, but she's not. She also stole the line from SNL that SNL made fun of her for. It's used it again.

They're about to grow up with the middle class and the sister and everything. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And that's, I mean, this, I don't know if this interview worked well for her. I don't, I don't know if it did. I don't, I don't know if it did. She also said this, audio sound by three, listen. Why do you allow him to call you to Borders are when that work, that's not even your, that wasn't, I'm not giving him permission for that. Oh, okay. You're right. But I mean, you don't push back on it, because that wasn't, that wasn't your role. That literally was my role. Fact checkers have made that

clear. If I respond to every name, he called me, I wouldn't be focused. on the things that actually helped you American people. And that's my folk. It was her title because that's what they, they released a statement on the White House website and they said that she was taking over border issues. And not only was she taking over border issues, but she was also taking issues, taking over examining Central and South America and the result, like some of the, why is it that some people are coming across the border illegally? I mean, they know the answer. She was, I mean, she can sit here and go, well, I wasn't technically call. Well, I wasn't technically They called the czar.

You were in charge of it. Just like she's in charge of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. So she's the gun violence art. Well, I wasn't. My title doesn't say Tsar. It's not C-Z-A-R, like officially. It's just like rhetoric. That's just they're playing rhetorical games.

It's dumb. Just rhetorical games. But this is one game where it seems like it takes, this is, I don't know, audio sound bite seven. Like, you know, I get it that she's trying to chase votes, but some people need to be told to shut up. Listen. Could you please respond to Trump's claim that he's going to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to round up immigrants if he wins the election?

This law was last used to put Asian Americans in internment for World War II. And I have a sneaking suspicion that if Trump wins, he's going to use this law to put anyone that doesn't look white in camps. And I'm scared. Yeah. Yeah, so you've hit on a really important point and expressed it, I think, so well, which is he is achieving his intended effect to make you scare. That's so stupid. They're talking about the Alien Enemies Act, which was part of the Alien and Sedition Acts, and that was established under Adams. And when they're talking about the camps to put Asian Americans on, that was literally done under a Democrat.

It was a Democrat who did it. But the Alien Enemies Act, that was supposed to expire, but then it became part of, like, it became codified. And it was to deport non-citizens that are determined to be dangerous to the peace and the safety of the United States. And, I mean, there's, you know, the history of it. It was, you know, World War I, they had Germans and other foreign nationals they put into camps. That was the National Archives that had the history on that. Wilson Woodrow Wilson was the one who invoked it against people who were from Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria. And he was the one who kind of kicked it into gear and began, I mean, essentially detaining people through that.

But further, Trump was saying that people who are here illegally will be deported. Don't be here illegally then. I mean, I just can't take serious the excuses of people. especially if you were brought over here as kids and you were able to apply for scholarships for college and apply for jobs there's no excuse for you to not have also applied to become a citizen of the United States

particularly when the Dreamer Act prevents you from being deported during their whole process there's zero excuse absolutely none so at some point it's just willful it's out of spite and willful rejection of lawful behavior

to not follow through and take advantage of the multitude of opportunities provided to you by Democrats who had not, they literally froze deportations for people who were brought over under the DREAMers Act and people could file and they become citizens and they could not be deported. But yet there were so many people who, they chose just not to do that, but they could file and they could get student loans and they could file and apply to colleges and they could apply for jobs and all this other stuff, but you couldn't apply to be a citizen of the United States. I mean, just, you know, I mean, your priorities, you screwed yourself.

but to to deport people who are here illegally I find it incredibly ironic that Democrats think that it's impossible

to round up people who enter the country illegally and deport them but they think it's perfectly possible to go and round up

legally owned firearms from millions and millions and millions of people and confiscate them through a mandatory action

the irony of it but the people who, you know, the scariness, and Steve, I don't know if we have, or if we saw that Joy Behar audio, because I think that was from this morning on the view. I don't really watch the view. The only, I don't watch it. The only time I've seen it, in fact, the only times I've ever seen it when I've guest hosted it. And like when cuts like this kind of get crazy and start making the news. So apparently Joy Behar was like, I guess, can't. continuing and encouraging this stuff. And she was on saying that Trump was going to, what, use the military to kill progressives or something to that effect. Do we have this? She was saying that he was going to use the military to go and kill progressives.

And I don't even know where this stuff is coming from. I don't know where people get this nonsense. That, I mean, they're just like making stuff up to scare voters. So they can't sell you using policies. So they're going to try to make you think that he's going to come kill you otherwise. Listen. I was watching interviews with MAGA supporters. They do not believe that he will do what he says he's going to do.

That is what we're up against. So if you say he's going to be dictator on day one, he wants to punish with the Air Force, whatever we have, the armed forces. He wants to punish people who disagree with him, like people like us. Okay. And they say, oh, he's not going to do that. He's going to take us out of NATO. No, he's not going to do that.

So it's very hard for us to talk to these people because they refuse to believe. And I guess they're hearing it on Fox or elsewhere. Oh, for the love. Where do they get the whole, he was going to take us out of NATO? He actually expanded it. And there were people who were criticizing him that were on the right who criticized him for that. Like, where do they get? I mean, they just make this, just pull this stuff out of their ass.

Where do they get this stuff? I mean, this is stupid. None of this stuff is real. That's not a real. I mean, so they're just scaring people for the sake of, scaring them? I mean, what is the point of this stuff? You're, you're fear-mongering because you don't have anything else to recommend yourself to voters. That's a problem. That's a real problem. I don't know. I'm just telling you, this, it's a, I don't know, whatever happens in November,

and I was telling you the Rasmussen survey that came out and how it was like 56% of Americans when they were asked if they were better off now than they were four years ago, it was no. I mean, that's the question that Reagan asked, going up against Carter in 1980. Well, people have their answer, resoundingly. They have their answer. They are not better off. And they're feeling the pain. And it's going to get worse.

I found this story interesting. And this is kind of related to it because it's like economic and it kind of gets into its consumerism. Now, most people don't pay attention to this kind of stuff, but this caught my interest because China. So I saw this headline, LVMH. LVMH is a luxury group. In fact, Salma Hayek's husband, I forgot what his name is, Henri, whatever. It's Moe, Hennessy, Louis Vuitton, it's a holding company.

It's a huge conglomerant. And they do luxury goods, right? And they do all kinds of designer goods. Belenziaga, which nobody likes because they're like groomers and it's true. Balenciaga, they do makeup forever. I know you've seen that brand. They do like Jewel or Bulgari. They have all kinds of other luxury brands.

They own a lot. I think they, they own Fenty, Rihanna's fashion house. I think that they ended up taking over Saul McCartney. They own like almost everything. They own so much. And I was. looking at this because one of the things that the CCP used in like some of their propaganda in like entertainment and you know,

and you know, and influencing is consumerism and they like their people to always be seen with like luxury goods and all this kind of stuff. Well, to that effect, apparently there's been a bottoming out. So the headline is that LVMH sales, they have a huge sales miss. It's clear negative for luxury and it's sparking global growth concerns. Their shares tumbled as much as almost 8% today, the lowest level in over two years. They missed estimates for third quarter

organic sales and they're seeing a worsening slowdown in China. They said it's the weakening Chinese consumer sequentially weakening Chinese consumer. And they said that the largest division, fashion and leather, and that's like where the big, I guess the power of their luxury holdings, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, centralized. They said demonstrated the deacceleration in spending from the Chinese cluster. So China, which was like bragging about, look, we're not, that communism is not bad. Look at how many of our people can afford luxury goods. Well, nobody's been because they can't. Their economy's bottoming out. They said their management highlighted a deterioration and performance of the Chinese cluster. They said that there was only modest improvement in trends in both the United States and Europe. But the biggest hit came from China.

Isn't that interesting? Interesting indeed. That's one to say for Stephen Yates. We got a lot more on the way as we roll towards headlines.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time. for Dana's Quick Five. These pandas are spies. Two giant pandas bound for the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., have left the Chinese city of Chengdu for their long journey to a new home.

A cargo jet operated by FedEx, which means it's probably going to run late, is transporting the pair, both three years old. According to the AP, they cited the China Wildlife Conservation Association. Are we sure we're not getting the dogs painted to look like pandas

because that was a thing at one point over in there? The pair, one female and one male, King Bao, and the male's bow. are going to arrive almost a year since they left. The last giant pandas left, D.C. It's a conservation project with Beijing.

It's panda diplomacy. These pandas are going to be spies. Just saying. Just saying. Unemployed people are going to be given weight loss jabs to get them back to work. What? This is over in Britain. This is one of the things they're looking at.

The health secretary, Secretary West Street, he said the widening waste bands were pacing a burden. in the national health system. And so they actually were looking to give them all like weight loss shots as a way to like try to get people back to work. I don't really think that that's how it works. You're just creating another giant entitlement net, just FYI. The FBI says that ISIS was behind the foiled mass shooting plot on election day. Remember this?

This was from 2021. And they now is just like finally coming out. But the FBI had arrested Nassir Tawidi in Oklahoma last week. They were saying that he was planning to purchase two rifles and going to carry out this attack. And he was apparently affiliated with ISIS K, which is the Afghan branch of ISIS. And Tawidi had previously worked as a security guard for the CIA in Afghanistan. Oh, that's nice. And he apparently did not undergo vetting by the State Department for Special Immigrant Status, SIV.

The FBI said it tracked him donating to. an ISIS-connected charity and viewing ISIS propaganda online. And apparently he also was legit in contact with ISIS-K people. So they arrested him. And apparently now the administration admits that they never checked him. They never fully vetted him. And he was literally given, you know, S-I-V status after he arrived in the United States. So, yeah, we're definitely not betting.

Bill Clinton wasn't wrong. We're not betting people. Just saying, I can't believe I just said Bill Clinton wasn't wrong. only because it's a problem for Harris Wall. Two comments are going to be visible in the night skies this month. None of them will hit us. Halloween visitors, this is from that Uort cloud I was telling you about. So they say there are going to be visible, and I can't, I'm not even going to say the name of them.

Basically, comet C, and then another one, A3. They said they're going to be October 12th is the day that is closest to the earth. So look to the western sky shortly after sunset. And then you'll be able to apparently see them. So that's interesting. We got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. We're broadcasting here from WRVA

in Richmond for an event later tonight. Back after this. Caltech. The lightest, thinnest, 9mm on the market with double-stack maggots. The Caltech P-15. I almost said PFF 10.

Keep your finger on the Pulse with a Dana-show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis. Whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Broadcasting from W-R-V-A-T-Day, our Richmond affiliate, and here for an event this evening. My friend Brian Kilmey, is going to be joining me as well, along with some other folks here on our affiliate station, lovely Richmond, where it's, what is it like, a, what is it like 50 degrees out. All I know is it's polar. Polar Express just like chew chewed by.

We made up to 58. Oh my gosh. That's like fire park of weather. This is, I am, okay, I am such a baby, you guys. Like, I don't, I'm not a baby about really anything except this. Like, the moment it gets cold. If it's like super cold, I will be like, eh. But we went from 90 degrees in my defense in Dallas to 58, you said. Yeah, it was, it was 80 here on Sunday. You just brought the cold with you. This is the coldest day. I didn't, I came from where it's 90. I didn't bring, I didn't bring the cold with me. Front followed you. What? And it's like, am I correct? And, or is my, my tech broken, it said like 40-something degrees this evening? What this one? When we got coffee this morning, it was 41, and I think it was 49.

That's, that's, that's nuts. That's, like, legitimately crazy. That's, that is, like, fire and soup and coat and all, and, and, like, Hans Solo attire. You know, that's like when all the girls wear boots and leggings, it's what it's called leggings. Nobody says leggings. No one says that. So welcome back to the program. We're at the bottom of this third hour. And yeah, we have a fun event tonight. It's what do they call it, politics and pints, and I don't have no idea what to expect.

I have no idea what to expect. The way that they sell it, it's like a fist fight in a theater. We're all going to be throwing punches and stuff. I'm joking, slightly. slightly joking. No, it should be very interesting. It'll be interesting. I think that we can all pretty much, is everybody just like, I don't want to speed towards the holidays, but I feel like everybody wants this election to be over. And like, I have a friend who put up their Christmas tree already. It's not even Halloween. I mean, not, you know, I, their defenses, I guess I just love Jesus

so much. I'm like, I'm not, stop it. You're just doing it because you want your Christmas stuff up. Because everything is weird and you want to not be weird. And you want the nostalgia of Christmas. Just be honest about it. But it does feel like, you know, and we're just talking about this, Steve's in studio with me here in Virginia on break. And I, this is like the longest election of memory, of ever. I don't know of any election that has ever lasted so long. And the crazy thing is that they just put in a new candidate a couple months ago. And it's the weirdest thing ever. And it's, it's made it seem like it's longer when they did that. It made seemed like it's longer. They had, what's her

faces? Was it her funeral today? Ethel Kennedy? Definitely, yeah. One of the, Steve is like he knows her, yeah, Ethel. Ethel's, Ethel's funeral. It's my homegirl, Ethel. She's a Kennedy. There's a lot of Kennedys in politics. I make sure we know which we're talking about. They all don't, not all of them win. That is for sure.

But yeah, they had all of them there. And then there was a funny video of Joe Biden and Barack Obama, who was significantly grayer standing shoulder to shoulder. And you can't really hear anything. But it, I, I really want to know what they're saying. I really would love to know what they're saying. And it's kind of hard to read lips because Biden doesn't really move his face.

He's like a Terrence and Philip character where it's just his jaw opens and closes and he doesn't actually like move his lips around to form words. So I don't know what he's saying. Like his mouth moves a little bit. And it feels like Obama is, it just seems like he's fed up or tired or something. I don't know. Like one of the jokes is Biden asked Obama, okay, can I endorse Trump? I want to endorse Trump. And Obama's like, no, you can't do that. Stop it. Stop it. So I don't know. But it's, but they were both there together and they were having some words. It looked like they were having a serious conversation. I kind of wonder what they were talking about. Michelle Obama is expected to go to Georgia to stump for Kamala Harris, but I don't know what all that's going to do. I mean, what are you

going to go out there and tell people, oh, abortions and abortions and your women, so you have vaginas and you got to support other people that you got to support people based on how your genitals match. That's the rule, according to Democrat women, do your genitals match? Then you have to support. It's the dumbest rule ever. It's the weirdest matching game I've ever seen. But that's what the left does. Nope, that's how we got to vote. It's, we're playing the matching game. That's not, you should want to go with the person who's actually, like, most qualified. Not, well, that person has a penis and so do I. So do I. So I guess I got to vote for him. That's not how this works. It's just so weird. But that's that's. they play this weird game, weird game. But I don't know.

Georgia will be an interesting, it's going to be an interesting state, and Democrats have been making a play for Georgia, almost at the expense of Pennsylvania. And I still argue that I think Tim Walts just tanked, just tanked her momentum. I think Tim Walts just totally taint her campaign. I honestly think that they would have,

if they would have picked Josh Shapir, I think it would have been a lot more competitive. But they also couldn't run the risk of him looking more intelligent than her. And so that's why they didn't, that's why they didn't do it. They didn't, they, and because he's Jewish, honestly. Let's be real. That's why. Because they're all terrified over the whole Israel Hamas thing Democrats are. And they're trying to figure out how to make, you know, Dearborn to stand happy.

That's really what it is. I don't know. I was looking at, speaking of Harris. the plagiarism scandal still plaguing her. The Washington Post is now trying to say that she didn't really plagiarize it because electronic research is common. That's literally what they said. Electronic research has become more common.

What I read is she's too stupid to figure out how to use quotation marks. Those little lines that are like two in a row and they're like on your keyboard next to the letters. Those are quotation. Why did she could have just used those, but she didn't. So they're still defending her, but I feel like it's just less. I feel like it's less, what's the word I'm looking for? Not purposeful, but it just doesn't, it's half hard at half attempted. Meanwhile, apparently we are now giving another $425 million in weapons to Ukraine. But hey, all the, all the hurricane people, you get $750.750 for the, the hurricane folks.

But we're giving weapons to Ukraine. They're not even, from what I understand, they're not even buying them. Like, Israel actually gives money in exchange for goods. And Taiwan wants to do

that as well. And in the meantime, we're just like handing over stuff to Ukraine, along with all of the other billions of dollars that we've given. So, yeah, I love how that just like slips in right before her, you know, big, her big interviews,

and then the other thing that she's doing, all this stuff before it all, like, like that's used for cover. Well, because it is. A couple of other things to touch on as well. I was reading this piece in the Atlantic. This is actually a sentence. Quote,

The shoplifting surge is real. People think it's okay to steal and no one knows how to stop them. That is an actual piece. It's from the Atlantic. And they act like they, we just don't know what to do. The people they're stealing. I mean, I've got some ideas, by the way. I mean, I think that we're just still a lot of ideas. How do we stop the, I mean, you know what we used to do when people would steal and you would arrest them? And depending on what they were stealing and how much they, they

would go to Jaley McJale. That's what used to happen. But now, you know how people think it's okay to steal? Because no one goes to jail anymore. In fact, some states like California, they've decided to reduce penalties. They've reduced misdemeanors to nothing

and felonies to misdemeanors. I mean, this writer was like complaining about basic everyday items being kept behind lock and key. I wonder why that is. I wonder why. Why? She was saying that literally the deodorants were behind a locked door, a plexiglass door,

a razor, locked behind a plexiglass glass door. And she said that you have to press a button for someone to come and let you have the product there. And she said the result, three paying customers sacrificed to the war on shoplifting. There isn't a war on shoplifting by very nature of the fact that they got to put this stuff behind locked doors. People aren't going to jail for it. You're going to bitch and moan, even though you supported that exact enforcement that led to this. I love it when people are forced to meet the consequences of their actions.

Nothing makes my heart swell more with joy. Bitch and moan about it, Atlantic. You have to sit here and wait for your dove deodorant because you celebrate the kind of lawlessness that comes, that's created, that's perpetrated, that's encouraged by the sort of policies that you support. So, yeah, I mean, when you're not sending people to jail, for like bum rushing into stores and stealing stuff? What do you think is going to happen? Gully, I guess we just don't know how to make people stop stealing.

I just don't know how. We've got a million ideas. It's not a problem in every city. It's not a problem in cities where you don't, where you just stop enforcing the law. Good grief. Are people really, yes, people, I haven't answered my own question. Yes, people are really that stupid.

I mean, but that's sort of what, you know, for instance, there's a story over I was reading a good piece over at Red State. So one of the, this, this multi-murderer, and this story's crazy, is a multi-murderer. This, in 2004, a 57-year-old man named Thomas and his wife, Jackie, who was 47, they had a 55-foot yacht. And they worked hard, they built themselves up, they had a family, they had, they were getting ready to have their grandchild. They decided to sell their boat. They placed an ad. And a convicted felon, this 24-year-old guy named John Jacobson.

answered the ad. And he brought his wife and kid to the next meeting as part of the ruse. And then he and his criminal friends showed up at the dock for the for a test drive. And when they were out at sea with Thomas and Jackie Jacobson and his friends overpowered them, they tortured them until they signed the title of the boat over and gave up all of their bank account information. And then they tied the couple to the boat's anchor and pushed them overboard. And then they spent the rest of the day fishing. they were only caught after they tried to access the couple's bank accounts. So Jacobson was tried for the hawks murder at the same time as another murder, a man who had his throat slit. Jacobson slid another man's throat.

And Jacobson didn't dispute that he murdered any of them. And five years after he drowned them, Jacobson was sentenced to death. And so then now there's this story of, this is where it gets weird. he decided that he wanted to change his gender and go by Skyler. So Jacobson didn't get the death penalty. His sentence was commuted to life. And the state of California, at the same, at the time, under Kamala Harris is the top cop who supported this. Jacobson claimed that he was born in the wrong body.

So he wanted to have his name change. And he wanted to have sex change surgeries. In California pays for all that. And Kamala Harris has celebrated it. So they're celebrating a sex change surgery that taxpayers paid for for a multiple convicted multiple murderer. And she has been in full-throated support. In fact, she brags that she played a key role in California in changing its policy. And her statement was, quote, so that every transgender inmate in the prison system has access to the medical care that they deserve in need.

an issue of humanity. She actually said that. I mean, no mention of the humanity for the people that Jacobson killed. Oh, and by the way, Jacobson is being put into the women's prison now because he's a woman, so he says. Yeah.

This is part of the whole lawlessness and disorder. And people are shocked about it and then they're shocked when they got deodorant behind locked doors. Seriously? We have more on the way as we roll towards the conclusion of this third hour.

And our partners over at Keltek, the P-15, they're the inventors of the micro-compact pistol category. And Keltek continues the mission of game-changing innovation and performance with the P-15, 9-millimeter, conceivable, and you don't lose firepower. It's the lightest, than is double-stack 9-millimeter on the market. And it's ideal. Doesn't matter if you're a newbie,

doesn't matter if you've carried for a long time, it's sleek, it's compact, and it cuts 15 rounds. So you're not sacrificing nothing. Two magazines, standard capacity for both. One's a 15 round magazine with minimal pinky extension, and the other for added concealability, flush-fit, double-stack mag that holds 12. Tritium and fiber optic front site, you've got a fully adjustable fiber optic two dot rear. And striker fire, got a great trigger.

And it's literally like a little lightest thing. I mean, it's four-inch barrel, one and not even one, like 1.27, I think it's the approximate inches wide. Lifetime warranty. And again, from Keltech.

Ideal for your busy lifestyle on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast. So we have this Politics and Pines event here for WRVA in Richmond tonight. And I've never done one of these. And I don't know what to expect. All I know is that as we get closer to the election, people are getting so hyped up. Like I said something about the $750 from FEMA on X, where, you know, we're giving like millions of dollars again to Ukraine.

And then, you know, here you go. Hurricane victims, you get $750. And someone was like, that's a Trump lie. Someone on the right, that's a Trump lie. Why? It's like, this isn't a Trump lie. I literally know people who live in these flipping areas. And this is like, I've heard it from them myself.

and they've got to pay it back. Like, I literally know people's, and some of them don't even actually get $750. Some of them get, like, less than. I think it's, like, up to $7.50 is what they can get. So that's, like, not a lie. Like, where are these people? Like, I get it. Like, there's going to be some people who like Trump and some people who dislike Trump.

And, oh, my gosh. I just need the people who dislike people to just slow their role on me. Because as we, look, I get hyped up too before election. But I may not be as nice. I'm just like, oh, my gosh, like, just con. con like that's a Trump lie it's actually not a Trump lie I mean if you want to get mad at Trump for something get mad at him for something that's like real but that's like actually not a Trump lie so yeah like that's you know just not gonna and then the people who are mad because I

had said something about uh you know well we don't really want any uh transgender operations with with or without parental consent someone was like oh you're just giving the government an invitation it no we like it's like it's chivalry. child abuse. That's how you've got to look at it. What are you saying that your parents can just, you can just beat the hell out of a kid in the middle of the street? I mean, there's, is that I, some of the big capital L libertarian stuff is so stupid. It makes me feel like I've just obliterated my brain without the fun of drinking the alcohol that would normally accompany it. Just like quit. The illogic is killing my soul.

Killing my soul. You're making me feel Darya like more so than, you know, normal. And I'm in a rock studio right now, which is nice. And I'm looking at a sign Ray J poster. So it's like weird and also I don't know I like that Part of me wants to steal it Do you think they would know If I just took it off?

They probably would dare I mean I don't like rage I can't tell you anything Does he sing? It was anything like a football Like what was he did? What did he do? Isn't that Brandy's brother?

Okay well anyway I just think it'd be funny It's funny and nobody would know Nobody would know Nob't tell anybody Nobody can hear us We're in here quiet It's all over all by ourselves

All right Today and stupidity Steve I saved the best for last Joy Reid is on some speaking panel. I don't know where she is or why she's talking about. She's on acid. It's about democracy and American values. Jesus.

This is what she thinks fast. Fascism is all about. The elements of fascism are rooted in this nationalistic drive for more babies for the state, or a strong man-driven nation, and a deep sort of state-based religiosity. So I do believe we have a media problem, and we do have some of our media. of our media that is leading people towards fascism. These people are insane.

That's dumb. They haven't babies for the state. Or maybe they just don't want to make sure that we can support old, you know, bad boomers like Joy Behar as they age. I don't know, just the thought. Folks, have a wonderful evening. I will see some of you in Richmond tonight at the WRVA Pines and Politics event. And for the rest of you, I will be back behind the mic next week.

So have a wonderful rest of your evening. God bless.
