Starting point is 00:00:00 You know, with all of that being said, to me that's so important, the most important, but with all of that being said, the elections coming up and the people want to hear about the economy and the fact that they can't buy groceries because they don't have enough money to buy groceries, the inflation has killed them. Food prices are up 50, 60, even 100% in some cases, and this stupid administration allowed this to happen, and she's in charge of it because, you know, now she's trying to say she had nothing to do with it. and she's such a liar because she was called the Bordersar the first day, and it was on the headlines of every newspaper.
Starting point is 00:00:35 She's the Borderser, and she never even went there. She went to one location, which had nothing to do with where the problem is. She went in and out, I guess, because she was getting a lot of pressure, but had nothing to do with the problem. But she was the Bordersar, and people can't allow them to get away with their disinformation campaign. Well, and that's true. I liked that Trump really focused, lot on policy. And I'm going to be honestly, I didn't listen to the whole thing. I didn't because
Starting point is 00:01:03 I had stuff I had to do. My gosh, I'm like, come on, give a girl a break. I wasn't going to listen to like 5,000 hours of them to having a discussion. I just wasn't going to do it. We'll cover the hits for you. And I, but I do think that it was important that he, that he talked policy. And it seemed like he stayed on policy for the most part. It didn't seem like he got into the, got distracted or got into the weeds. And I don't know if that was just because it was something that Musk seemed to be more focused on policy-wise, you know, whatever it was.
Starting point is 00:01:36 But it was good because that's when Trump is his best. That's when he does his absolute best. Is when he stays focused on policy. As we talked about yesterday, he doesn't get into the weeds with all this other stuff. That's when it all works out. So welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. we're at the top of this first hour on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:02:02 It feels like it's, I don't know, not Tuesday. It feels like it's a lot, you know. So this, a few things to hit. We got the ongoing fallout, the Harris Wall stuff. We've got more clips from this interview that Trump did with Elon Musk. And, I mean, you knew, you knew that it was, it was, for, I think, the Trump camp because Democrats are so mad about it. Leading up to it, they were livid about it.
Starting point is 00:02:34 There's this audio. This is like Washington Post guy who was questioning why it should be that. And you can you can say it wasn't an interview. It was an interview, though. Come on. It was a question. It was an interview. But still.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Still. But it was the Washington Post reporter who had. this was in the lead up to the conversation. They were so mad that this was even happening, that they were trying to figure out, like, how are you going to? Like, is there a way to shut this down? Listen to this. This was like this goofy reporter, audio soundbite one,
Starting point is 00:03:10 who legitimately asked the Biden administration if they could stop the discussion. Listen to this. Elon Musk is slated to interview Donald Trump tonight on X. I don't know if the president is going to do it. Feel free to say if he is or not. But I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue, it's an America issue. What role does the White House or the President have in sort of stopping that or stopping that or sort of intervening in that?
Starting point is 00:03:46 Some of that was about campaign misinformation, but it's a wider thing, right? Yeah, no, and you've heard us talk about this many times from here about the responsibilities that social media platforms have when it comes to misinformation, disinformation. Don't have anything to read out from here about specific ways that we're working on it, but we believe that, that they have the responsibility. These are private companies, so we're also mindful of that too. But look, I think it is incredibly important to call that out as you're doing. I just don't have any specifics on what we've been doing internally.
Starting point is 00:04:24 clown question, what a clown reporter. Do you know the antidote for bad speech? Do you know what it is? The antidote for bad speech is to have more speech. So the way that they could have handled this and the way that they could have responded is they could have Kamala Harris. Hell, they could even have Joe Biden have a sit-down discussion with Elon Musk. No one's stopping them. Now, the left refuses to participate because they have weak candidates who cannot. And they, know this. So they know that they can't sit and participate. So their response is to insinuate that it's not the, it's a lack of, that they were excluded. That's, that's it. They, they, they want to make it seem like they were excluded when really they just refuse to participate because their candidates can't sit and have a normal conversation. Kamala Harris can't string together a single sentence in her head and neither can Biden. I mean, it's it's really shameful. And she doesn't know the issues well enough to even talk off the cuff about it like that. So they can't and they're really, really making sure that she stays on script.
Starting point is 00:05:32 It is a very meticulously micromanaged campaign. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine. I'm not going to say any names. It's one of my friends who remained friendly and remained a friend, even though they're a Democrat and they're wrong on literally every. think. God love them. I pray for him. But they, my friend was saying that it is, it's frustrating. It's really hard work. She said to have a, because she used to run comms for a senator, Senator from New York. And my friend was saying that it's very difficult to micromanage a candidate to that extent. It's difficult for everyone else involved. And the word is that there are, even you have like the Biden and Harris factions,
Starting point is 00:06:18 but you have little micro factions within even the Harris camp. So then you've got all these people that are pushing and pull in for power. And it's like it's a nonstop struggle for these people. It's one of the reasons why the turnover rate is even a higher. I mean, you always have a high turnover rate with some of these campaigns because people burn out really quickly. But with her campaign, there's a reason why she's rolling through people like that. There's a reason why. A micromanaged campaign and my friend made the offhand remark that, yeah, it's true.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I've never seen a campaign that's been so micromanaged. And my friend said, you know, that used to be a hallmark of Democrats. Democrats used to be the ones that used to be able to go out there, sit on a bail of hay, you know, barnstormed through all the battleground states. And now they cannot even go and address the press without having some scripted answers on the tarmac. And I thought, yeah, that's true. That's very true. I mean, because it's so managed.
Starting point is 00:07:14 It's so micromanaged that she's not able. She's not, they're not setting her up for success to have a conversation like this. And they're not equipping her with the, well, either that or she just doesn't have the capability to be able to understand the issues. So you have reporters like, well, I mean, should we just shut it down? Like the insinuation is that they, that, that Biden and Harris were somehow excluded from it. Everybody knows that that's not true. You know that if, if the Harris campaign had said, said, hey, I'd like to do a sit-down discussion with Elon Musk. You know that they would do it,
Starting point is 00:07:49 right? Everybody knows that that would happen. The problem is that she hasn't said that she wants to do that. She doesn't want to do that. But you know what she will do? She'll straight the hell up, steal your policy idea. She will straight steal it. And for instance, we mentioned this yesterday, but they are really pushing it. And then Biden got in on it. So first off, this, she had said yesterday during the audio came out that she's, yes, I'm going to also do no taxes on tips, except the way she said it was like it was her own policy idea. Like it was her own idea. So this is, audio soundbite, what, seven? This is one of the spokespeople? Because she had said no taxes on tips in an address. This is her spokesperson also saying it and taking credit for it. This was yesterday evening. Listen. She certainly, again, has many parts of President Biden's agenda that she helped pass, that she supports, but she's also going to be putting forward her own agenda.
Starting point is 00:08:47 And that's something you heard her talk about when she talked about no taxes on tips in Nevada earlier this week. Her own agenda. And then Kane, when she talked about the no taxes on tips. You know, her own plan that she came up with. But wait a minute. Was it her own plan? Or was it like some, was it Biden's plan? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Audio sound by four. KJP was asked about. this yesterday. Did she steal that? Does she steal it? This is the answer. Trump was the first to endorse eliminating taxes on tips. He's accusing Vice President Harris of stealing his idea. So did she get this idea from Trump? Look, I'm not going to respond to a president bench of candidate. I think their campaign could speak to that directly. What I can say is this president, this vice president have always had the backs of the working people always. And you see that in the policies that they put forward.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Everything that we have put forward, historic pieces of legislation that are obviously now laws are helping middle class workers are helping people, just people in different communities that normally, again, left. So I'm concerned or confused.
Starting point is 00:09:54 So she, I mean, normally she has no time, no problem at all addressing every little thing that Trump does. She has no issue. But now suddenly, because it's disadvantageous for them, she has an issue with it. She's she doesn't want to address it that's the problem that's fascinating
Starting point is 00:10:10 to me but it's her thing you know it's hers by the way it was hers but it's also Biden's audio someday 3 it's Biden's idea also thanks green over the weekend vice president said she would uh she followed
Starting point is 00:10:24 former president Donald Trump and saying she would support proposals that would not tax taxed wages if such a similar bill made its way to the president of president Biden would he sign Is that something that's the mean? Absolutely. This is something that the president supports.
Starting point is 00:10:42 He supports eliminating taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers while also raising minimum wage and preventing the wealthy from gaining the system. Oh, the wealthy from gaining the system. I mean, he's president. He could just do it right now. He could do it right now. No taxes on tips. He could do it completely right now.
Starting point is 00:11:05 and steal the thunder from both Trump and Harris if he wanted to do it. But why doesn't he? Because it's not really what they believe. I mean, there's a reason why she presided over and was the deciding vote in the Inflation Reduction Act, which completely, that's what made all of this worse. It made this system worse going through the POS system, making sure that you're reporting everything, et cetera, et cetera. And the other thing is, too, and I want to talk a little bit about this. coming up. I think that, can I be honest, I think it's a dumb ploy because they think that you could go
Starting point is 00:11:40 so far beyond it. I think it's dumb because it's just like a weird, it's one little niche section. And is it just for servers? Like, what about the people in the kitchen? What about the line cooks? You know, what about everybody else? Like, I've got, you know, I got some questions about like, how far it should go and why should it just stop with that? Like, why can't it extend further? Because you're talking about payroll tax and then federal income and these are two different things and they're still getting taxed on one. So there's, there's a lot here to unpack. But I just don't know. If Biden, if they really wanted to do it, they would have done it this entire time that they were in the White House. This is so stupid. They made it. They have made it to where it's worse for workers.
Starting point is 00:12:21 And now they want to try to rewrite history on it. So we're going to get into all of that. And additionally, I've got some culture for you. Specifically, the CGI dwarves. Yeah, you heard me. You heard it right. CGI dwarves. We're going to have to have this discussion. I know. I don't know.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Okay, so Kane and I, you know, grew up in St. Louis, and we've been in the Arch. I've been in the Arch a handful of times.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I will say if you're claustrophobic and or afraid of heights, it's a one-to punch for you. But if you're claustrophobic, you know, you've got to get into one of those little pods and then you go... With strangers. With strangers, which is like... my nightmare. And like you're sitting in your knees
Starting point is 00:14:38 touching a stranger's knee. That's what I'm talking about. It's weird. None of you like it. And you go all the way up to the arch. So the worst thing in the world is to be trapped in one of these things or to be trapped up there. Well guess what? It was supposed to be just a 60-minute ride around the arch and it turned into a disaster. Two
Starting point is 00:14:55 dozen, Kane, two dozen tourists were left stranded. Two dozen. It occurred around 3 p.m. 5 to 6 trams. became stuck in the north leg. They were stranded right below the observation deck, and it took until 515 for them to be evacuated by firefighters.
Starting point is 00:15:17 There were no injuries, but oh my gosh, you guys, do you know, like you sit in a pod and you go up? I cannot even imagine. Now, they said that they're still looking to see why it malfunctioned, but it malfunctioned. I mean, that's like worse than being stuck on a roller coaster. It's like a sphere that you're sitting against. tiny little sphere. You can't even sit up straight. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Scientists have unlocked the secrets of 4,000-year-old Babylonian tablets, and they found terrifying predictions for the future as their punishment for working to unlock the secrets. 4,000, they said, it was found more than a century ago in modern-day Iraq, but they've only now completely translated to them. Blah, blah, blah, blah. All right, so what does it say?
Starting point is 00:15:56 What are we doing? Well, it says, revolts upon the land, both foreign adversaries, the weather, rain, floodwater, and devast, oh, somebody, a dad, whatever that is, is going to devastate the threshing floors. I guess they're Babylonian God. Let's see, all kinds of just
Starting point is 00:16:11 horrible, everyone's going to die. Your walls will fall. Everything will die. That's where they're saying. Yeah, there you go. Thanks. Thanks, history. If it's Babylonian, I mean, if you've learned anything from Ghostbusters, looking at this ancient stuff is just not going to go well for you, so don't do it. Two Boeing 747 pilots
Starting point is 00:16:27 intercepted several UFOs on a flight and they did not show up on radar. And this is on video as well. They said these things did not show up on radar. They were very bright, moving freely in the sky. It was two pilots going from Saudi Arabia to Nigeria. And the video was posted to YouTube. And it showed up 30 minutes into the flight. They said normal takeoff, normal cruising. Everything was normal. They experienced no turbulence. Very weird, right? We got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. I agree with Annie Oakley who said, quote, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Now, I myself regularly concealed carry nine millimeter. Now that said, not every woman. woman is like me, has had the hours of training that I've had, or feels comfortable around firearms due to years of use, or maybe they're by a gun-free zone. I'd like to change that what I can while encouraging self-defense at the same time. So this is where Berna comes in. It's kind of like a starter weapon. It's, they make a non-firearm firearm. I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women. And the Berna S-D model shoots chemical irritant projectiles, 68 caliber rounds, that can deter threats in their tracks up to 50 feet away.

Guys, look what I just learned to say. Welcome back, Dana Lash with you.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Bottom of this first hour. Go and find the discussion over at Rumble. Can find us on X, 2.047 DirecTV as well. And substack, chapter and verse, all kinds of good stuff up there. Speaking of mine, your own damn business, remember we told you about the snitch line that they created, right? Because in Minnesota, they had some pretty draconian lockdown orders. and they had some pretty draconian penalties if you ran a foul and you didn't stay home or do
Starting point is 00:19:09 whatever. And so this, one story in particular was really, I mean, this, this is, there's so many crazy stories that happened from that time. This woman, Lisa Hansen, she was a small business owner. She owned a wine and coffee bistro. She's a mother of eight. She's going to have 18 grandchildren very soon. The only other thing, the only other time she's ever been in trouble with the law was when she got a speeding ticket as a teenager. She owned her business for over 30 years. She and her husband both owned it together for more than 30 years. And her business called the interchange wine and coffee bistro and Albert Leia, it was about 90 miles south of Minnesota, had been open for almost about a decade. And she had on different businesses, always apparently
Starting point is 00:20:10 in the service industry. Well, then they got the shutdown orders, right? So they got the shutdown orders and her bistro initially complied with the shutdown order that March. But then months following that, Walsh never fully reopened. And there were businesses, remember, liquor stores were deemed to be essential. Churches were not essential. That was even in Texas. And bars, restaurants, gyms, dance studio, salons, all of the, those were considered non-essential.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Strip clubs were considered essential. Big box stores were considered essential in Minnesota. Liquor stores were considered essential in Minnesota. But if you wanted to go to a restaurant, if you wanted to go to the gym, if you wanted to get your haircut, that was non-essential. And she was trying to make a living, her and her husband. They had bills to pay. It was really cute to hear Joe Biden talk about rent moratoriums,
Starting point is 00:21:22 and not having to pay rent and putting a moratorium on that, putting a pause on it. But the problem is that for business owners, they still had their bills to pay. And the people that owned the buildings where people were leasing, they still had bills to pay. And so Hansen was watching this grandmother, a lot of these businesses that have been open for decades, have to close down before they ever reopened. And she said he always allowed the big box stores, et cetera, to stay open. So she decided, and this is, gosh, almost, almost a full year even. Because this was going up between, this was all all going up into, even into January 2021.
Starting point is 00:22:09 So she decided to reopen her business. And she defied his shutdown order for bars and restaurants six times between December 2020 and January 2021. In December of 21, this is a full year after all of this first kicked into gear, correct? Full year. She was convicted on misdemeanor charges and she got the maximum sentence of 90 days and a $1,000 fine. She ended up serving two-thirds of her sentence 60 days. She was in jail for two months because she needed to open her business so she didn't lose her head. And this is just one business owner in Minnesota.
Starting point is 00:23:02 A lot of these business owners are coming out and saying we either were jailed, we were fined, or we lost our businesses. And his executive order, it completely closed down, all dining in services 100% for indoor and outdoor. She said that there were 200 other business owners just in her area alone that were targeted. they were targeted by at the time Minnesota AG Keith Ellison they were operating in a rogue fashion outside of the law there was no statute in their state constitution that allowed him to do what he did but he did it and it was completely outside of the scope of the statutory law
Starting point is 00:23:46 in Minnesota and then in addition to that you had the snitch line they were encouraging people and Juan has that line they were encouraging people to call the snitch line that not only did the governor set up, but Minnesota tax dollars paid for it. They paid for the monitoring of it. They paid for all of it. Listen, this is what happened. This is, this is what people would get when they would call the snitch line. This is literally it. Listen. Hello, you have reached the Department of Public Safety, stay at home hotline. The information you leave is considered public
Starting point is 00:24:22 information at the tone. Please leave the following information. Your name? Your callback number. how the stay-at-home order is being violated and where the stay-at-home order was violated. Thank you. Is that an unbelievable? That is unbelievable. So this is what, but yet he has the audacity to go out and tell everybody else to mind their damn business. You need to go mind your own damn business, he said.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Mind your own damn business. She was jailed. She was jailed. I mean, remember, there was a candy store that was kept open KSTP in Minnesota Channel 5 ABC affiliate the largest candy store was allowed to stay open well why was that why were they considered essential but a bistro wasn't oh because they're really good friends with the governor oh really uh-huh yeah there's a whole article over at KSTP that gets into how they're friends
Starting point is 00:25:22 huh interesting that so you're telling me that if you were a friend of Walses that could be made in this very important health rule. Oh yeah, because see, the virus, if you needed an exemption because you were a friend of the people putting the orders in place, the virus wouldn't affect it. It was less contagious there, you know. That's how science works came. That's how it worked. And of course, you know, we later find out that none of this stuff, and we knew, none of this stuff was, it was all a joke. It was all fantasy. It's shocking to see how many people wanted to comply with it to the extent that they did. So this guy walking around saying, oh, yeah, mind your own damn business. Well, he didn't do that. He didn't mind his business. And he's been saying that over and over again.
Starting point is 00:26:07 There's like a ton of different sound bites. I'm tired of like seeing them where he keeps saying it over and over again like it's a catchphrase. It's really cringe. And it's also very disingenuous. This is what to expect if you get these clowns in the White House in November. I can only imagine. Oh, here's some bird flu stuff. We got to shut everything down. have to shut everything down. That's it. I mean, this is who they are.
Starting point is 00:26:34 And Walsh is bad. Bad, bad, bad. We're going to get into some of the other Chinese stuff, but a bad guy. He's, but he looks like he's innocuous because he's, oh, he's just this old Minnesota dad. You know, flyover dad.
Starting point is 00:26:47 That's what it is. And just, you know, hmm. Now, in the meantime, there is absolutely, I don't think there's anything on the books for Harris' walls for any kind of press conference, press avail, anything of that sort. In fact, this is CNN to Kamala Harris's spokesperson. They actually seemed to be a little indignant over the fact because, you know, they want to get the interview.
Starting point is 00:27:16 They want the ratings because if she hasn't done an interview in a long time, that's going to be some clicks, right? They want to be able to have it. So CNN was a little indignant. This is what they said to her spokesperson yesterday. She's going to be taking that message out to voters, and I look forward to seeing what she's going to say on Friday. I think we all do, and I'll ask you more about that in just a second. The reason I was asking about today is because it seems like she has time if she wanted to do an interview
Starting point is 00:27:39 with a member of the media or do a news conference, correct? There does appear to be that time if she wanted. Well, look, she has said on the campaign trail that she would be doing an interview at some point. She said that, I think, last week during a rope line or when she was talking to reporters. But look, what is important here, John, is that she is taking her message directly to the American people. She had a number of battleground states. I think we had 15,000 people in Detroit last week, 12 to 13,000 in Nevada. She's been taking her message to the voters and drawing large crowds.
Starting point is 00:28:15 So she's actually having those direct conversations. But not today. The whole thing is not today. Not today. She could do an interview today, I would think. you know, because she's not out there. Yeah. Well, look, she could, she's telling her message.
Starting point is 00:28:27 This is, I think that's only going to get worse for her as, because remember the media, the media does not have this really close amicable, amicable relationship with her in the first place. They have always been, there's always been a little bit of animosity there because she wasn't one of the politicians that they were trying to play nice with. See? Now, all of a sudden, she's been thrust into that position. and there isn't still fully that allegiance there. So they also want the clicks from this. I think at some point she's going to have to be pushed into doing a press conference.
Starting point is 00:29:02 But her campaign's idea of just a micromanaging her every move and not having her, not having her do these discussions with people like Elon Musk, et cetera, well, simultaneously intimating that it's because it wasn't offered to her. And that's unfair. got to shut it down. They're operating under that, that false premise. I mean, it's a lie. They're hiding behind that as a way. They don't want Trump talking. They don't want Kamala talking either, but for different reasons. They don't want Trump talking. So if Kamala can't do it well, then Trump, they don't want Trump to do it at all. That's the whole point of it. We got a lot more

Whenever you want, want, subscribe to the Dana Show podcast on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast. Like Sands Through the Hourglass, so are the days of the United States. I know you guys are objective over there that you just report the news as it is. Oh, I know, CNN makes it, I know. Is that supposed to be a lab line? I wasn't supposed to be, but I guess it is.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Because it is, I mean, everybody knows it. Even the people who watch CNN, come on. Even the people who watch CNN know. Stop. You know better than that. Welcome back to the program. You know better than that. That was Stephen Colbert.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I still think he used to be funny. And I think when he got super politically bitter, I don't know how a better way to describe it. He just got, it got super cringe. Right? He got real cringe. And I just, I can never take him seriously again. I can never see him as a funny guy. I just see him as an angry guy.
Starting point is 00:31:51 That's all I can see him as. Did anybody watch the end of the bread and circuses? I forgot that that happened. The Olympic stuff. Did you guys watch any of the ending? No. I didn't either. They had some weird tripped-out Pokemon stuff happening, I think, at the end.
Starting point is 00:32:04 And that was it. Tom Cruise apparently jumped from the ceiling. What? Yeah. And that was kind of it. He apparently argued with some of the producers, too. But, yeah, he jumped from the roof of the the stadium and then because it's going to L.A. You know, the Olympics are going to L.A.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Now, I want you to remember, I want you to just be prepared for how this is going to play out. So you have the L.A. Olympics. Now, do you know when those are? It's going to be, it's interesting because it's another presidential year, another presidential cycle for the Olympics. It's going to be in 2028. So it's going to be that summer right before the election. Who's governor there right now? King? In California? Good old gruesome Newsom.
Starting point is 00:32:54 So Gavin Newsom is going to use this. Obviously, this all plays into his hand. He's going to be using this as a way to further promote and campaign off up, just so you know. Look at Kane over there. Look at that. I literally didn't see it. I guess it was like promo for a movie and I guess I just didn't care. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:15 I'm not, I just posted that little video. in swag. Yeah, he jumped off the thing, but I, and they did this handover. So there's a reason why he was there and a bunch of these other folks were there. He is, was part of that, the whole handoff from Paris to Los Angeles. And so just saying, you know, we're going to have very interesting. It's going to be very interesting. In 2008, Newsom's already campaigning.
Starting point is 00:33:43 You know, you saw him like trying to clean up some stuff. the homeless encampment that he helped create. And, you know, he's got the, he's been trying to push high speed rail again. So he's, which is already a boondoggle. You know, he's hired his own photographer. He hired his own photographer, which nothing says, boogie and privileged, like hiring your literal own photographer to follow you around and take photos of you for your social media and all of that.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Tell it's because he's, it's because he's, you know, Tina, he's the governor. He's got to, no, no, no. The guy gets paid. Politico had the story. The guy gets paid $200,000 a year. And he's not just any photographer. He hired a celebrity photographer. You know, he's trying to present this man about the state kind of image.
Starting point is 00:34:41 He was the guy who traveled with Newsom to China. He was there. He took a picture of. Newsom and his aviator, sunglasses, jeans, and work gloves picking up debris from the homeless encampment. That was him. Serving the damage of the boreal fire in current county. That was him. He takes pictures of him doing all this stuff and then they put him out there.
Starting point is 00:35:02 So he has his own actual paparazzo that follows him everywhere and takes photos. That is not the move of a guy who is just content with being in the governor's office. that's not that's not the move of a guy who is just content about because it's not like the photographer is taking action shots of him doing stuff he's like taking these like any leave of it style things like these profile pictures it's weird this guy i'm telling you i'm telling you so watch out for that because that's he's going to use that as a way to you know burnish his bid he's going to have that in 2028 and Newsom is going to be the guy that that's exactly who they're going to run. They are going to run that. And I think they're they're kind of looking like, well, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:50 even if we've got Kamala, you know, even if she loses, then we can just, you know, maybe hold the line in the House and Senate and wait for 28. They're planning. They've got a couple of different options. We'll explore some of that here coming up. We have our second hour on the way. And as we move towards that second hour, we got the tax on tips thing we got to discuss. We got some economic numbers. I got some polling for you as well.

There is joy in our party. There's electricity moving through
Starting point is 00:37:44 the system. And yes, places that I think were written off are now in contention through the most competitive congressional races. I'm sorry. This is one of the dumbest takes that I have ever heard that I've heard this cycle so far. It really is. I can't stand the slacker. I cannot stand him. It is one of the dumbest takes. First off, Robert or Rourke saying that Texas is in play is just mind bogg, just mind-blowingly stupid. It's not in play. You know what? His candidacy was nothing more than a Democrat get out the vote, register voters operation. But I don't think anyone clude him in on what the strategy was because he actually believed the manufactured hype surrounding himself. He actually thought, well, people really like me. They must have a lot of faith in me. No, you, you dumb,
Starting point is 00:38:36 dumb male. No, no, no one believed that. No one believed that for a hot second. You were literally nothing more than a vote registering op. That's all it was. That's what Wendy Davis was because they're trying to see the ground for future elections. It's a smart play, but it didn't happen as quickly in Texas as they thought it was going to because they were anticipating a Colorado to election cycle turnaround, you know, the blueprint on which the book is based. But it didn't happen like that in Texas. So they had to run this stooge twice, right? This nepo baby. the slacker and Napo baby. And so he's out there.
Starting point is 00:39:10 The fact that he's saying that is just so dumb. And I come from a county where he actually bested Ted Cruz in that county. But you know what? Overall, it doesn't make Texas in play. It doesn't make Texas in play at all. It wasn't because there were more registered Democrats either. It was because Republicans just didn't go out and vote because there was a lack of enthusiasm. And that's a whole other.
Starting point is 00:39:28 That's the bigger threat. But it's not because they registered more Democrats. And Texas isn't in play. Texas is not going to go blue. Now, I'm not saying that because. I'm naive. I'm just saying that it's not going to not going to have. They're not smiling. I don't see any. Democrats aren't smiling down here. They're all hateful and pissed off. They're not smiling over anything. Jiminy. If you're, if they're smiling and they're a Democrat, they're high.
Starting point is 00:39:50 It's true. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. By the way, he was like, hey, who can we get that's really dumb? And they can sit here and blow smoke up Democrats' butts for us about their chances in Texas. Oh, that Robert Orrork, the white Irishman whose dad gave him the Hispanic sounding nickname so that he could play to the Hispanic vote. I didn't say that. His dad literally said it in an interview recorded by the Dallas Morning News. So don't get mad at me. I'm just merely the messenger. You know, you know, the guy who had the DUI and was going to leave. and then, you know, his judge daddy, daddy judge ended up helping him. Golly, can you imagine.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Does he work yet? Does Beater O'Rourke have a job? Wait, hold on, hold on. Let's Google. Let's go to Google and have some fun. Does Beto or Rourke have a, oh my gosh, it doesn't, just fills it in for me. I really don't think he does. It's not looking like it.
Starting point is 00:40:49 The last one is from May 8th, 2004. So what is he doing anyway? Oh, he's not working. That's apparently what's happening. No, he's not working, guys. He's doing advocacy. Do you remember when he, after he lost one of his first elections, he went on this road trip to go and find himself,
Starting point is 00:41:10 Kylie Jenner's time. I'm just like going to go find myself and do some things. He went on a road trip. He left his kids with his wife and went on a road trip. Remember this? I don't even know how that happened. Now he, this is what, this is what, the Houston mag says, these days, O'Rourke travels around Texas to lecture, listen, and learn about
Starting point is 00:41:32 political strategy and voting rights. So he's unemployed. He's unemployed. Still. Why is he allergic to jobs? Right? So that's what he's doing. So what is it that you do? Well, I travel around Texas. He's 40-something years old. This is my favorite thing about it. He's older than me. And he's, he's like, oh, I'm a millennial. Shut the hell up. No, you're not, you stupid idiot. You're not a millennial. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Gen X wouldn't want you anyway. I love these people that I look, guys. I'm just like you, fellow kids. This guy. Kane, what if you meet someone, say that you're at, like, a gathering, okay? And you're just, you know, people grill and brats, whatever. Sure. You know, you're just chilling.
Starting point is 00:42:22 You know, having your, having your kumbuka tea or whatever it is you drink. Not how it's pronounced, but go ahead. Okay. And whatever, your bacteria tea. And with your scopy friend in it. And you're talking to somebody you've never met and you're like, oh, hello, you know, gradients and salutations. What is it that you do?
Starting point is 00:42:40 Oh, well, I travel around to lecture, listen and learn about political strategy and voting rights. What does that say to you? What would you then surmise that that person's, has their trade to be? Unemployed. There you go. I'm going to play. Yeah. I just like travel around.
Starting point is 00:42:59 I like advocate. Oh, you advocate? Mm-hmm. What do you advocate for? Like advocacy and stuff. Oh my gosh. I can't. I mean, I mean, I can.
Starting point is 00:43:19 And it's fun. But I don't know. There's like a whole. That's what he does. Oh, he founded a pack. Oh, this is what I love. I love it. I love when these failures are like,
Starting point is 00:43:28 I'm going to create a pack. I've had people ask me to create packs before. And I've said no a million times. And it would have to be under a very controlled circumstance because this is what packs are used for. People like Robert O'Rour create packs and they go around and like advocate and stuff. And they raise money through the pack and then they cut themselves a check. And then that's how they get paid. So the whole purpose of the pack is to literally fund.
Starting point is 00:43:59 that person's life. That's their salary. I cannot tell you how many packs are like that. Some you know of and they're very well known that do just that. A lot of people that front the packs that get massive checks. That's exactly. That's why I hate donating to packs. I don't donate to packs. I only donate directly to campaigns. I will not donate to a pack. So they said that the organization has signed up a quarter of a million citizens and to create a more. just fair and equitable Texas for all. What does that even mean? A just fair. It sounds like my pastor. Just fair and equitable Texas. I'm still smart and I don't know if you can tell. I'm still a little saucy about the Sunday sermon. What does that mean? Just fair and equitable Texas. What do you mean
Starting point is 00:44:47 fair and equitable? You know, just like some equity. For what? What does that even mean? This is what this guy does. He literally goes around and fleeces people. He is a grifter. Well, you know, Democrats are smiling because... I bet he was so excited that MSNBC asked him to come on. I bet he couldn't figure out what shirt he was going to wear. He was probably so excited. Can you imagine? So excited.
Starting point is 00:45:17 And I bet he was working, Democrats are happy. Democrats are... Democrats are smiling. Yeah, that's it. What a loser. I can't believe. You know, I will say, give his wife an award because she took that one. the market to prevent any other sister from from getting entangled so she took one for the team there
Starting point is 00:45:36 all right so i know that was me and and am i lying to you that would be insulting so i might come back to that he's sort of like the failed newsome isn't he he's like newsome slacker little brother just like going around advocating for stuff the fact that nobody knows what he's doing in the houston magazine had to write a whole piece on it because nobody knew tells you everything that you need to no. There's literally one pair. He's just like going around advocating for stuff. But he's a guy that they're going to go get a hot take from. I can't wait to read the trolls. There's like a bunch of, I don't know, like middle-aged white women that love Zima that get very offended when you talk poorly of him on social media. I don't know if you're aware of this. And they just, I feel like they don't do anything else with their lives except watch the view and drink Zima and do acrylic nails.
Starting point is 00:46:30 And that's what they do. Sit around, do each other's nails. Sit around and bitch on Twitter. about people who don't like Beto. I honestly feel like that's what they do. Because whenever you say anything about him that's even remotely not flattering, it's, there's like a herd of them. They come catterwalling into your mentions.
Starting point is 00:46:47 All right. So I do have other things, but it's just so fun. He's the Bernie, what did you say? Say it. Say that. Say that.
Starting point is 00:46:54 What you said and say. Oh, yeah. So Beto is the Bernie Sanders of John Carries. That's literally what he is. Dude, that's deep. It is. Nice. It's deep.
Starting point is 00:47:03 It's really well done, sir. Thank you. Well done. All right. Audio is done by 11. Everybody is even mad at Elon Musk. Everybody's mad at Elon. Elon Musk.
Starting point is 00:47:14 They're mad at him. Listen. The path, like you are the path to prosperity, and I think Kamala is the opposite. I mean, that's my honest opinion. I'm going to get attacked like crazy. And, you know, I've also experienced quite a bit of low fare myself. And, but I'm just trying to tell people my honest opinion. And I haven't been really active in politics before.
Starting point is 00:47:37 And I'm just trying to point out that my track record historically has been moderate, if not moderate, slightly left. And so this is to people out there who are in the moderate camp to say, I think you should support Donald Trump or president. I mean, he's saying that there's two pathways. So this is why the left is so upset. The left is upset. Even Kamala Harris had a statement. They're all upset. They're all very mad.
Starting point is 00:48:01 the EU was threatening Twitter or X with sanctions because they were platforming Trump. That's wild. I mean, they, they, is that not foreign interference in an election? If you're demanding a business in a country that is not your own, not platform a candidate that you can't even vote for anyway because you're a foreigner and you're not even here in this country, doing anything in this country like on our land anywhere in it, right? How is that not? Yeah. Jonathan Turley notes that the guy who is pushing this stuff, this, what is his name? This, this Terry Breton guy who was threatening Musk with sanctions.
Starting point is 00:48:46 He says that he's one of the more notorious figures in an anti-free speech movement that has swept over Europe. He's using the DSA to force other countries to censor their citizens. It's free speech regulated by the lowest common denominator and the level set by the the EU. So this is why people think, you know, when you talk about EU stuff, it's not unrelated to you because they've been trying to push this stuff even in the U.S. and the EU's been trying to use their muscle. That's why in watching the takeover in the EU with some of these other conservative countries like Italy and these others, that's why it's so important because they're literally trying to influence other directions of companies based in the USA, American companies, the EU is trying to
Starting point is 00:49:31 influence them through pressure, through extortion, through blackmail. And they don't think that that's election interference. But if you allow someone to speak freely and or criticize the EU, then somehow that's election interference. It's wild. And you actually had a reporter, Washington Post is a major publication. We played this audio last hour who was asking, well, again, a newspaper, one of the biggest oldest newspapers in the country, asking the White House, well, I mean, is it okay to let them speak free, speak freely?
Starting point is 00:50:01 How do you got to stop? Yeah. It's just wild. We're going to We got more of this. We're going to talk more about this. We've got also the, I'm going to get to the CGI dwarves. It's coming up. Don't worry. I haven't forgotten. Believe. I agree with Annie Oakley who said, quote, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies. Now, I myself regularly conceal carry 9mm. Now that said, not every woman is like me has had the hours of training that I've had or feels comfortable around firearms due to years of use or maybe they're by a gun-free zone. I'd like to change that what I can while encouraging self-defense at the same time. So this is where Berna comes in.
Starting point is 00:50:36 It's kind of like a starter weapon. It's they make a non-firearm firearm firearm. I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women. And the Berna SD model shoots chemical irritant projectiles 68 caliber rounds that can deter threats in their tracks up to 50 feet away. I mean, it is hard. Easy target acquisition zero recoil. Berna is legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks, no permits required.
Starting point is 00:51:06 It's shipped directly to your door. Gun free isn't applicable to Berna. It's great for wherever guns are banned. Visit burna.com slash Dana for 10% off.

Starting point is 00:51:27 So first up. This less attractive people live shorter lives than those who are apparently better looking, according to a weird study that I have no idea why anybody felt necessary to do this. It was from Arizona State University and UT. They analyzed data from a long-running study that tracked over 8,300 Wisconsin high school students from the 50s until just a couple of years ago. They looked at Facebook photos, everything, yearbook photos, lifetime health data. and what they discovered. They said that apparently better looking people live longer. I think that's weird and I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:02 I'm quite, why are you? Why? Why are you having that look? Who determines who's better looking than who? I thought beauty's in the eye of the beholder, not some science things. Yeah, I don't know if I'd trust like a science. Like anybody to determine whether. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:19 It's just weird, right? That's a weird. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if I put a lot of stock into that. Why? What's the necessity? What's the purpose?
Starting point is 00:52:27 What does that conclude? conclusion serve. Classical music is medicine. Hey, guess what? Another study on classical music that we all know is true. Mood boosting tunes helps synchronize the brain. Classical music is medicine. No. No. No, not at all. They looked at mood, all kinds of stuff. Classical music, yes. There's studies about how it helps you to study better. It helps you to relax. It helps boost your mood. There's all kinds of stuff. I know a lot of metal music is based on some classical music, too. Yeah, no, totally is. Two people were hospitalized after trucks hauling molasses and manure. Sounds like an interesting name for something.
Starting point is 00:53:08 They collided on a southern Idaho interstate. There's no saving that. That's just awful. It was a collision between two trucks, one molasses, one manure. And it was about 2 p.m. And, yeah, there were two semi-loaded trucks, a freightliner semi-loaded trucks. One was in a 98 one loaded with manure. Another one was in a 2013 freight liner,
Starting point is 00:53:31 loaded with 48,000 pounds of cane molasses. And one bumped the rear of the other, and then a thousand pounds of molasses was spilled due to the collision. The other freightliner came to rest in the median and caught on fire. Oh, my gosh. Everybody's okay. There were some taken to the hospital, but good night. That's not, that is not.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Burned manure and spilt molasses. Yeah, that's not a wreck. want to be involved in. A woman crashed her car into a Canoga Park Taco Shop. This was a week after she hates this taco place. She also vandalized their catering truck. She really hates
Starting point is 00:54:08 this taco place. This was in L.A. Police booked her for felony vandalism, and I think they're adding an assault with a deadly weapon charge because people were in the restaurant when she rammed through it. They still are, they don't know why she's targeting the same taco place, but clearly she has issues. We've got
Starting point is 00:54:24 more on the way. The The SCGI Dwarves next. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast. You're on the go guide for getting up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or your favorite podcast platform. I would like to, first of all, say thank you to, yeah, Mom. I am a teacher, so when I see a master teacher, I know it. And over the time we've spent together, one of the things,
Starting point is 00:54:55 one of the things I've had the privilege of is seeing the things in life through the eye of a master teacher to try and get the understanding. How many times is he going to say that word? He's like she is. Like she's off. She's like she's super awkward and all this stuff and he's super awkward with things and they're both just awkward. So he's like, yeah, I've had been able to see a master teacher. It's Tim Walz. That's some flashback audio. He's facing a lot of questions after this video, this one, where he's like talking about this
Starting point is 00:55:24 nut job, nut job, radical cleric who loved some Hitler, loved him some Hitler. That's the true story. This is, I mean, they keep trying to disassociate him from this, but it's not true.
Starting point is 00:55:49 He had him, as, remember, we talked about this yesterday, the governor of Minnesota who he hosted this guy the guy celebrated Hamas's October 7th attack on Israel, promoted a neo-Nazi film, loved Hitler, talked about Hitler, the Imam Assad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota
Starting point is 00:56:09 joined these other Muslim leaders for this meeting about mosque security. And this was back in 2023. And so the a mom spoke at a 2020 event as well with the governor at the time. And he's been hosted by the governor like numerous times. The Harris campaign said there was no personal relationship between Walls and Zaman at all. Like they were saying, oh, no, they just didn't know each other.
Starting point is 00:56:42 What? What are you talking about? It's like that Mariah Carey video was like, I don't know her. I don't know her. That's what they were trying to say with Walz and the same mom. But that's not true. I mean, he called him a master teacher. And in fact, what's more, Washington examiner notes that Walsh's administration, not only do they repeatedly host this guy, but they steered six figures, hundreds of thousands of dollars to this guy's organization. And so at some point,
Starting point is 00:57:13 it's not a mistake. It's on purpose. At some point, constantly making these errors, it's just not mistake after mistake. It's just, this is purposeful. action. This is he's lying. He's misleading purposefully. He's embellishing purposefully. And he can sit here and they can try to hide it as much as they want to, but it's not how it's working. That's not how it's going to work. This is, it's bad. We're going to come back to this. I got to get into that. I got to clear the palate. How many of you, first off, I was talking to some friends last night. We had dinner with some friends last night. They were in town. And it was actually Kurt Schlichter and his wife. And we, we,
Starting point is 00:57:54 we're discussing how I can't just go to a movie theater and sit and be held captive by the dark and in the seat unless it is a great movie it has to be a fabulous movie I have to be fully engaged fully into it
Starting point is 00:58:10 otherwise I cannot sit still I get so fidgety and I just oh it's just torture this is one that I definitely I'm not going to go see because and most movies have been so not great and so overwhelmed with political correctness and all this other stuff. You guys remember, this is, we've been talking about the snow white thing for how long now came? I don't even know how long this
Starting point is 00:58:34 has been in production for. It first made headlines because Peter Dinklage made some little people angry because they accused him of acting as like the gatekeeper for all little people in film roles. In fact, Peter Dinklage got mad. Remember, he got mad over the whole, there were dwarves in Snow White and he was like you can't believe you know it's 20 whatever and you're casting you know dwarves that's this you know but that's the story that's literally how the story goes
Starting point is 00:59:06 and then Disney because of apparently what he said then they got very nervous and they decided we don't want to offend little people so we're going to replace the dwarves with magical creatures and then you had WWE star Dylan Postel he got mad and he got mad and he
Starting point is 00:59:24 wrote, quote, who died and made Peter Dinklage, king of the dwarves? It pisses me off. End quote. He blasted him. He absolutely blasted him. And Disney was like, we don't want to reinforce stereotypes, all this. And it wasn't just Dylan Postal, Warwick Davis, who I don't think anybody's more famous as far as acting and being a little person than Warwick Davis. He hit out at the theater in London because they got rid of the Snow White and the Seven Dwarbs. They were doing this Christmas performance of the Grimm fairy tale, they changed it. It was the De Montfort Hall production of the 19th century Grim Fairy Tale, and it was known as Snow White and the seven dwarves, but it was changed to Snow White and her seven friends. Because they said dwarfism is not a word that people
Starting point is 01:00:15 feel comfortable with. And Warwick Davis, he said that it's patronizing when people are offended on his behalf. and that it angers him that he doesn't want others of his stature to lose out on jobs. He says, quote, it loses something if you don't have Snow White's dwarves. I've been in a lot of Pantos and I don't think it's offensive at all. He says, I'm sure there are those out there who don't like the term, but as a short actor, I want to be given the choice about whether I appear in Panto or not, and I don't want someone making that decision for me, end quote. And I love it that he also added that it was a smokescreen.
Starting point is 01:00:48 he thinks that to allow companies to drop expensive actors. And he says the excuse of people being uncomfortable is a poor one. He says, I doubt they've questioned the audience about whether or not they think the word dwarf is offensive. Very interesting. So that Warwick Davis was mad. So now they've replaced, because nobody, everyone was wondering, okay, what's Disney going to do? Because they were going to replace them with these magical creatures, right? And they just looked like a bunch of hippies who just walked out of the Whole Foods and were going to their cars.
Starting point is 01:01:18 So Disney in its bid to avoid reinforcing stereotypes decided to completely eliminate acting roles for actors of such smaller statured and just do it all CGI. And it looks absolutely heinous. It looks insane. And so, yeah, that's what they've got. And there's a teaser trailer out apparently. and they did CGI and can I just say that CGI
Starting point is 01:01:52 it's weird when they do people it's weird we're not there yet we're not there with AI we're not there with CGI I yet to do people like that in a film it's weird and now everyone's saying that the dwarves
Starting point is 01:02:04 look very unnatural and weird and they call the appearances as uncanny Valley and the stuff of nightmares and apparently Disney also did a terrible CGI job and everybody's blaming dinklage.
Starting point is 01:02:20 You know, I mean, there's not, and they were saying that now the left is like, well, you know, it's true. There's not really a lot of roles for people in Hollywood that are, you know, little people or that are of short stature. That is true. Maybe if they could, you know, just to fix the depiction. Here's the other thing that we were talking about. Now, granted, you know, we were, we're a generation that were raised on Lord of the Rings.
Starting point is 01:02:43 And my kids were raised on Lord of the Rings. Kane In the fantasy realm Dwarves are not Like Lord of the Ring Like Gimley etc They are not
Starting point is 01:02:58 A joke of a Being They're like noble beings They are As a matter of fact They're regaled a lot In some of these films And apparently
Starting point is 01:03:11 With amongst the zoomers They hate elves and they're all about dwarves. It's like a big thing with Deep Rock Galactic and all this stuff. I don't even under understand that. And I wouldn't even be able to intelligently tell you the difference between the two. An elf and like a dwarf? Yeah, I have no clue.
Starting point is 01:03:30 I literally have no clue. If you listen to the zoomers, the elves are G-H-E-Y and total, like, you know, losers. And they do magic, which is hated. And then the dwarves can just build literally anything in our hardcore. and can kill you. I'm... Do I have that right, Zimmers? Do I have that correct? I think so.
Starting point is 01:03:52 That's what... Yeah, I'm as confused as I was five minutes ago. I mean, the magical creatures thing doesn't work. It's way better if it's dwarves anyway, because when you think... When I hear Drones, I'm like, oh my gosh, Lord of the Rings. That's what I think of. I think of, like, the dwarves of lore
Starting point is 01:04:08 that are... Well, they're hardcore, right? Yes. And they found this chick who came from a... broken home, you know, she's like out in the woods all like falling over, can't do anything. And they bring her in and they, and then she takes care of their house and they go out and they do work. And then they come back. She makes their food. You know, she's like the, the female presence in the home that they never had. And, you know, and they go out and they go and help her and they protect
Starting point is 01:04:34 her too, right? I mean, it's like, you know, a win win all around. But I don't, it's just weird that they decided that it's better for everybody. Let's just get rid of the actual human actors. And we're just going to do weird CGI where it they like she's the same physical human actress and then all of the other actors and their issues were just too problematic
Starting point is 01:04:57 so they just jettison them for fake beings like you said they're just trans dwarfs well yeah they're trans dwarves they're not even real I don't know I Disney decided I think it's hysterical that the left is like well is this woke
Starting point is 01:05:13 now Juan is showing you what it looks like. That's like from one of their teasers. It looks bad. They, I think, isn't that more insulting? They gave them all of these exaggerated features. And I guess now they're saying, well, sorry, little people, you weren't enough. We're going to have to do this. And it also kind of suggests that they don't believe that little people can be good actors. And I would think, consider that, you know, the presence of Warwick Davis and Peter Deing, even Peter Dinklage, who started all of this, you abs. Absolutely. Loon. He's a phenomenal actor.
Starting point is 01:05:51 You don't, you, you do not factor in any physicality when you watch him act because he's very good at his craft. He's also a giant hole. And are you okay? I'm just upset at the fact that this will be, now, see, this will be like a point we look back on 30 years from now and realize that, you know what, we couldn't employ any live little person for any role anymore because of the potential offense. And so now we've ruined an entire whole generation of people from being able to earn money at a
Starting point is 01:06:30 craft like acting because how is this progression though? Like how is it progressive? Because and that's what Dinklage had said in his thinking because you're progressive in one way. You cast a Latina as snow white, but then you're still making that backwards story about dwarves living in a cave. Well, they didn't live in a cave, you absolute embecile. They didn't live in a cave. they're in actual house, so that's your bigotry.
Starting point is 01:06:50 The trailer's out there, and it shows all their, her seven iconic companions, companions, they're all portrayed with PC, CGI. It's just not progressive. It's illiberal. I mean, you literally have a film that has roles specifically for a segment of the population that is incessantly overlooked by Hollywood. And now they're overlooked in the most offensive way possible because the people did not want to be faced with their own discomfort.
Starting point is 01:07:33 And so they pretended to do something on behalf of the group that they're actually robbing and saying, no, it's for your own good. And these people just want to work. I mean, it's so stupid. You know what? I mean, people are like, well, it's not realistic. The animal's talk in this stupid movie in this story. Are you serious?
Starting point is 01:07:53 There's a witch with an apple. She's killing a chick. I mean, it's like murder. This is so dumb. And it just gets dumber and dumber and dumber. And then there was this chick that he'd want to be in the movie anyway. Because remember, she was like, oh my gosh, I'm not having the prince kiss me, wait me up. Well, then stay dead, bitch.
Starting point is 01:08:12 I don't care. Stay dead. It's his life mission to make. Bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. All right, I'm going to start right with this one. Because I hate myself. This is Margate, Florida.
Starting point is 01:08:32 This guy's mugshot's like, yeah, I did it. What? I'm going to read this headline as it is. Victim escapes bus stop sexual assault by allegedly biting the suspects. You know. A man was arrested after his victim thwarted a sex assault at a bus stop because
Starting point is 01:08:56 yeah well they they allegedly bit his male copulatory organ to escape August 7th officers from our gay police department responded to a 911 call from a caller who said they were witnessing an assault and attempted sexual battery MPD officers arrived they were flagged down
Starting point is 01:09:12 by a witness who observed a male attack in a female in the area the guy's name Devin Applewhite what a name he was assaulting the victim in the middle of the roadway Applewhite pulled the victim's hair and then was hitting her in the face. And, yeah, she just, he was trying to force her to do an act.
Starting point is 01:09:31 And she did not want to do it. And then she finally bit him. And then that's how she was able to escape. That's disgusting. I'm going to vomit a lot. That's so nasty. Thankfully, she was able to escape. She was evaluated.
Starting point is 01:09:43 There was, she was okay. I don't care if the other guy was okay. I just feel like, you know, that's how you get your knob torn off. And I'm just saying, that should be, what state was, send him to Louisiana. people who do that kind of stuff, they're just, you know what, they'll just get you, they'll tie you up, they'll pull you behind a truck with it. Rip it off like a tooth. That's what needs to happen to these predators. People are dying at me right now. I can just feel it. You guys are like, Dana, what on earth? That's what happens. That's what happens. So this, a Florida robbery suspect
Starting point is 01:10:14 jumped into the river to evade arrest while people questioned him while the police were questioning him. Daytona Beach. This guy was accused of robbery. He had to be detained in the the river. I mean, it's where the gators are. 32-year-old Richard Martinovix. Officers greeted him. He was walking with a plastic bag in a cup. They were questioning him. He was asked to take a seat. And then, like a second later, somebody, they heard a plunge in the river and someone goes, he's in the water. He was escorted on a boat with life vest and in handcuffs. Yeah, you can't be, especially
Starting point is 01:10:46 the three the gators are. You can't be doing that. And then let's see here. This, an iguana clogged to this Florida toilet. apparently this is a thing. It is a thing. So the whole green iguana thing is so prevalent in South Florida that it's so invasive. Apparently one of
Starting point is 01:11:06 one Florida man actually had to go in and there's video, there was an iguana that somehow got into as a South Florida home and they had to with cruelty free remove the iguana from the toilet which means that the trapper Jeff Darlington grabbed it by the tail and pulled it out. Just pulled it out of the
Starting point is 01:11:22 right out of the commode. That's a crazy story. That makes me terrified to go to South Florida. Stay with us. The Congressman Smallwell, to your point about Kamala Harris, why hasn't Kamala Harris laid out her policy agenda? It's not even on her campaign's website. So she's doing that this week. She's talking, you know, particularly about her economic message. She's also, you know, been going across the country, filling arenas and talking about what she's going to do on the rights that were robbed for women when Roe was taken away. The border crisis that she's going to solve,
Starting point is 01:12:03 that her economic policy won't benefit billionaires, but it will benefit hardworking America. Well, at least he didn't fart. You know, I mean, he was able to get through an entire... Yeah, I mean, you know, good for him. Some people, you know, they have a hard time controlling both ends of their person simultaneously on live television. he does. Dana Lashire with you
Starting point is 01:12:29 the top of this third hour. I know it was mean and low-hanging fruit, but it is what it is. You can go find us on Substack. Make sure you send it for the newsletter, chapter and verse. And of course, Facebook, YouTube, like, subscribe. We're over at Rumble, Channel 347, Direct TV as well and on X.
Starting point is 01:12:44 She's going across the country and filling arenas. That's her policy agenda. That's what it sounds like. Like, what does she do, dude? What's her policy? Well, you know, things. And stuff also. She's filling arenas. Kane, what's her policy on taxation?
Starting point is 01:13:01 Or like, you know, maybe refineries or energy or something, anything? I don't know. She plagiarized Trump's no tax on tips, but that's about all I got. What about trade? No clue. Well, she's filling arenas. Is she? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:17 Or is it the musical acts that are also scheduled at the same time? Is it those? Yeah, she's filling arenas, though. Oh, okay. Yeah. She's filling arenas. I see. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Well, what is, what is, uh, what is, uh, vice president Harris? What is she, where does she stand on, uh, you know, like a China and Taiwan? Well, she's filling arenas. Okay. That didn't answer the question, but, um, see what you're, see what you're saying there. Yeah. All right. She's taking it directly to the American people.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Right to them. Right to them. In the arenas. Yeah. What? Is she taking to them? Herself in the arenas. Right.
Starting point is 01:13:57 Yep. right there. So like if you just go and you see her, then that's your answer, I guess. Audio Soundbite 23, Van Jones says that apparently Trump's jealous or something. I guess that's what I'm supposed to, I don't know, listen to this. He's failing and flailing. Listen, they're saying that this is the worst three weeks of his campaign. That's what the press is saying. This is the year in which he got indicted, convicted, and shot at and actually hit by a bull. it. And none of that to him is as bad as
Starting point is 01:14:31 possibly not getting as much attention as Kamala. Like that's the only thing has happened is that he's just not getting as much attention as Kamala Harris. He is more freaked out about that than, you know, being a convicted crook and someone who almost got killed. Well, I think that's incredibly disingenuous because
Starting point is 01:14:47 this is the honeymoon phase. I don't think that people are, I don't think he's upset that she's, I mean, obviously the press is going to go all in and defend her because they're freaked out. if you want to have a discussion about who's freaking out. He's called, he's doing a thing that we call campaigning. They're like, oh my gosh, he's freaking out.
Starting point is 01:15:08 Like literally no one. Everyone's just sitting here doing our thing. And the left is going, oh my gosh, they're all freaking out. Because Kamala, like none of us are doing anything. We're like, yeah, you guys are subbing one loser candidate with literally the loseriest loser of a candidate you had in 2020 who came in last place barely scraping together 1%
Starting point is 01:15:29 and came behind poop booty juice. But yeah, the people who are just merely campaigning are the ones freaking out. Not y'all. Okay. Oh, wow, the rights totally freaking out. She doesn't even have her policy positions. That's their new line. They're freaking out. It went from weird to that.
Starting point is 01:15:48 Which is weird, right? If you ask, well, where's her policy positions on her website? She just said, Why are you freaking out? Just asking a question about where she stands on important issues affecting Americans. But why are you freaking out? We're not. We're just asking some questions.
Starting point is 01:16:11 It's literally all we're doing. All we're doing. You see, that's what we're having to deal with here. So, I don't know. It's, I think they're the ones who freaked out. They freaked out so bad. They switched out their candidate. they freaked out so bad because they were so worried about Dear Bornistan, they freaked out so bad, they literally pushed aside the better vice presidential candidate because he was Jewish.
Starting point is 01:16:35 They were so freaked out. And it's still pretty, I mean, it's, it's, they're the ones who are freaking out. I mean, they're freaking out because if you ask them, okay, the vice president, audio sum by five, the vice president, What is her biggest, her singular achievement? Just name an achievement. Just one. What did she do that's an achievement? And this is the response.
Starting point is 01:17:06 What does the president see as the vice president's biggest achievement during their time in office together? So look, because they've been partners, those achievements have been done, certainly those historic unprecedented achievement have been done together. I'll say this. The president believes in the vice president leadership, her temperament, her experience. And he is, and he has said this himself. One of the proudest decisions that he made in 2020 was selecting her as vice president because he believed that she can go on day one. And you've seen that, you've seen them do that together on day one of this administration. That doesn't change.
Starting point is 01:17:45 I'm not going to pass out. Okay, what achievements though? Anything from here. Her achievements. You know, the achievements that she has. Historic. The historic. I like how she's, you know, the achievements that they have the historic, amazing, historic achievements, the achievements historic ones that they did together, the achievements that were made together. What were they? But anyway, so, no, no, no. What were they? Just one. Just name one. One achievement. That's all we're asking for. Something to put on a sticker. Give us one thing. Just give us something. Shouldn't be difficult, right?
Starting point is 01:18:27 Right? I mean, you can ask a lot of people an achievement that Trump had the last four years when he was in office. And they could say, oh, taxes were lowered. Now granted, they could have been made permanent. Taxes were lowered. Everybody will tell you that because they were. They can't say that about, well, we, everything is very fancy now because it's very expensive. it's an achievement.
Starting point is 01:18:56 It's, you know, fancy designer goods, designer everyday items now. You're paying the designer cost. They have no way to answer this. They're the ones freaking out. Not going to be gaslit into this stuff. This is, I want to get in, this is some of the, this was some of the audio from the Trump, just some of the bites from his conversation with Elon Musk to say it like John. I got to do the Maduro.
Starting point is 01:19:24 Elamask. His conversation with him yesterday. Audio Sombite 15. I immediately marked this one. Listen. Said to Vladimir Putin, I say, don't do it. You can't do it, Vladimir. You do it. It's going to be a bad day. You cannot do it. And I told him things that what I do, and he said, no way. And I said, way. So when he gets, can we just cut the part where he says, don't do it, don't do it, because that was me with my dog yesterday. That was actually funny. He said no way, and I said way. It should be Trump Vance, 2024. Way. Just that.
Starting point is 01:20:13 He had some really good, I thought that cracked me up. I need to say that for forever. It's actually funny. He also joked about the slide during his assassination attempt, Audio Sondbite 16. Listen. Illegal immigration saved my life. You're right, but it might have to be at the exact angle.
Starting point is 01:20:31 I mean, that's a great one. He saved by illegal immigration. You know the incredible thing, though, when you talk about the odds, you had to be exactly at that angle. That's too funny. That's hysterical. He had to be a good conversation with him. It was a good conversation that he had.
Starting point is 01:20:51 And it made him because he stuck, he was funny. And then he stuck to a lot of policy and he didn't go off into like the weeds or into the ditch or anything like that. I think it actually helped him. The people who are freaking out about this, again, going back to that sound bite, they're like, oh, well, the right is freaking out. Trump's freaking out about Kamala Harris. He's not the one that is asking people to make it to where she can't talk. I mean, you have reporters Washington Post who brought it up at the press conference yesterday and said, is there a way we can stop this?
Starting point is 01:21:21 I mean, good grief. Even Kamala Harris had sent out a statement, oh, it's going to be misinformation and disinformation and anything that they could do to try to discredit. the conversation that was happening. Instead of offering to do one and countering it with Musk herself, she just wants to shut it down. That's what the left is. They don't like to have to defend their ideas. They don't like to have to defend their beliefs. They don't want to go toe to toe to with you and actually bring receipts because that would require work. Heaven forbid, they don't want to do that. So they don't want to do any of that. So instead, they just want to shut you up. They just want to prevent you from speaking so they don't have to do the hard work of defending what they believe. I mean, that's ultimately what it comes down to. We're going to have more of this.
Starting point is 01:22:03 I got to tell you, so an update on my rescue pup, Wic, we are having a battle of the wills. This dog, so he's a little over four months, and he's kind of potty trained. But at the same time, he's supremely defiant. And we have bells on the door that my chubby French bulldogs knew how to ring when they wanted to go outside. but Wick, who's raptor smart and already understands drop and stay and sit and outside and kennel, he knows all these words, refuses. He's like, wait, bells, I don't know what those are. What? He refuses to do it.
Starting point is 01:22:42 So he got had a tantrum. He had a tantrum yesterday because he gets mad at you when he starts nipping, when he wants to like heard you or when he's getting super excited when you're playing, you're supposed to ignore the nipping. and then deprive them of your attention and that makes them upset. Well, his response was to have a tantrum and he throws himself like a teenager on the couch. And he talks all the time. And he's talking and having his fit. And then he stands up and my husband and I are getting ready to leave the house to go to dinner with our friends, Kurt and his wife, right? Kurt Schlichter.
Starting point is 01:23:18 And this dog, Wick stands on my sofa and stares right at my face and just takes a whiz right on my sofa, staring me in the face. And then you know what he did? He threw up his puppy paw and gave me the finger. He didn't do that, but he might as well have. I'm like, oh my gosh. Like he's so he got in a little trouble for that. And he did it on purpose. He, because he just went outside. He did it on purpose. He looked at me right in the face. I was like, yeah? And then just did it. That dog, I'm going to, I told my husband, I was like, we're going to come back and he's going to have like a a tattoo on his bice up but he's going to be selling meth and he's you know good heavens like he is so he's he has two modes he's that he's it's crackhead and then sweet puppy there is no gray area and he's got
Starting point is 01:24:10 the crackhead zone in the morning and the evening and he just turns into just it's insane and you know we're working with him and I'm not no don't worry there's no gravel pits in his future but But it is hysterical his personality because our two chunky, lazy, goofy, doofy, French bulldogs were just so happy to please. You know, they'd throw themselves off a cliff just to make you laugh. I mean, that's how goofy they were. And Wick is like, mm-mm, not going to debase myself for you people. It's funny. He's so smart.
Starting point is 01:24:43 So Keynes tells me I need to get buttons. I mean, it'd be fun to get buttons. And the dog presses the button like outside. And then he goes outside. Then you know what's going to happen? He'll be a kennel one night and we're going to be in bed and then I'm going to hear the buttons go off. And I'm going to be like, it's haunted. So it's going to happen.
Starting point is 01:25:01 Outside. Outside. It'll be your voice. Murderer. No, just we got. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. A woman crashed.
Starting point is 01:25:14 Well, we had the taco shop one. We already talked about this. It does seem personal. 51 foot fin whale washes a short at Torrance Beach. Are you serious? we just had this whole conversation about the whale. So this 51 foot
Starting point is 01:25:28 fin whale, washed ash the shore, torn speech. This is in between Redondo and Malaga Cove. It's in Southern California. Lifeguards discovered at about 6 o'clock. It was inside the surf line. They called the wildlife experts. You know, all those people came in. The whale was deceased. They don't know why.
Starting point is 01:25:45 And they tried to identify the cause. It doesn't look like it's in good health. They said it had visible bumps on its skin. it was a thin build. So it was suffering. They hauled it away using a tractor because the last time we talked about this, they blew up the thing.
Starting point is 01:26:02 It, like, damaged cars and all kinds of things. They blew up a whale back in, like, the 80s, and chunks went everywhere. Thankfully, it didn't hit anybody, but it literally damaged cars and busted windshields.
Starting point is 01:26:13 Crazy. Ghost license plates cost New York City $200 million a year filled by James bond level gadgets, according to the New York Post. So everything is a ghost, right? If they can't get a tax on it, they say drivers that have licensed with ghost
Starting point is 01:26:30 plates, $200 million a year, it's the tax that New York City is losing. The vehicles whizzed through tolls, pass NYPD cameras, their red lights, all this stuff, and they're winning the tax revenue off of it is what it is. And they said, yes, it influences behavior when people know that their plate
Starting point is 01:26:45 is unreadable, so they're trying to figure out the ghost plate scourge. And they're, uh, they They said it's where they have like the plastic over it and it's scratched out or something like that. So they said 200 million is what they're anticipating they're losing out on because of this. This is kind of wild. And the U.S. Navy's Worships Productions' worst state in 25 years.
Starting point is 01:27:07 That's not good. Stick with us. We've got more in store. On the go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist. Follow Dana's absurd truth podcast for bite size and formative episodes. Perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast. I got infected about two weeks ago. It was my third infection, and I had been vaccinated and boosted a total of six times.
Starting point is 01:27:33 I was vaccinated and boosted a total of 11,000 times. So I guess it's not working then, right? Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. Bottom of this third hour. That's Fauci, if you were watching the simulcast, which you can view, Channel 347, direct TV. also on X and over at Rumble where we have the discussion and people interact with each other and McGroying Nation rated the stream which is a fun thing that people do it's actually seems really fun and sometimes I'm like let's just go to the stream let's just like hang out we got news we got
Starting point is 01:28:12 to tell you but I had to play this audio I had to play the video for you he's been guys he's how many times did he say he was vaccine boosted six let's write six times I've had six faxes and boosts. At some point, wouldn't it work? How many times were you vaccinated? Six times. And yet you still got the thing. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:28:37 So, yeah, three times. So would that suggest that you maybe were not anoculated against the virus that you got the shot to not get? Oh, but imagine how bad it would have been if he never got any shots. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:55 Oh, man. He would have, yeah. What would have happened? Not a damn thing. Legs would have fallen off or something. My arm would have fallen off and morphed into its own super being. That's what would have happened. He would have turned into an orc.
Starting point is 01:29:11 You know, it's just wild. It's so wild. And then he wonders why people don't trust. And keep in mind, this is what this Tim Walsk guy wanted everybody to do. He wanted everybody to have to take all this stuff and to do. You couldn't leave your house. I love the people, by the way, I love, and you're going to hear there so much going into the election year. They talk about, oh, voter ID is racist.
Starting point is 01:29:33 To have an ID to go vote is so racist. Wait a minute. You're literally the same people that demanded to show a Vax card that you needed an ID to get. And then it told your whole health history just to go eat at a damn pizza shop, go into a restaurant and eat. You had to show that. I didn't even go to New York. I can't tell you. Okay, so I'm going to tell you.
Starting point is 01:29:58 I came and, remember this conversation? So during all of this that was happening, like there's certain networks I couldn't even go to because they required you to, I already had it naturally, but, you know, we're pretending to not like science.
Starting point is 01:30:10 And so they wouldn't even, like, allow me in the door because I couldn't open my booklet and show that I had the Fauci shot, the Fauci-Oci-Oci. So there was at one point where I was told that somebody in New York, they wanted to have a meeting, and can I go up for a meeting? this is at the time when things are barely reopening. And Kane, remember, you had to get,
Starting point is 01:30:31 um, you had to show your little, uh, card and your little shot thingy just to get a cab and things like that, like crazy. I have friends who live and work in New York and they were telling me all this craziness. Like, that's insane. There's no way in hell I'm going out there. No way. And then they, you couldn't even go into restaurants unless you showed that you had, I couldn't have even gone. Hell, I probably couldn't even gotten access in the hotel. So I remember telling the Radio America guys, I was like, yeah, no, it's not going to happen. They're like, I'm sorry, what? I'm like, yeah, it's not going.
Starting point is 01:31:02 New York. And they're making me show all this. I would have to prove that I've had, no. You know what? There's a crazy thing called the internet. And they can do Skype's and FaceTimes and all kinds of stuff. It's like I'm there, right? It's like you're right there without having to be there.
Starting point is 01:31:22 And without them having to worry about my little plebeian. natural immunity. Imagine that. So the meeting never happened because I was like, I'm just not going to go and deal with all that. I have, I don't like playing pretend. Okay. I would have been arrested every other second.
Starting point is 01:31:38 There is no way. I would not. I have difficulty with normal average everyday tasks sometimes, not having an attitude. I can't even imagine having to go to New York City. Kane, you can't go into this cap? Can you show us, sir? Sir, can you show us your fax pass?
Starting point is 01:31:55 It's this middle. finger right here. Yeah, I got a Vax pass. It's this right here. That's my Vax pass. Yeah. Sorry, can we see that again? Yeah, we can see it. Uh-huh. You want it in your face, too? I'm happy to give it to you. I have two Vax passes. Yeah, I got four more of those where they've come from. Stacey. Can you imagine? So I'm sorry, you can't come in unless you show us your Vax pass. and then there were people who were who were
Starting point is 01:32:26 printing out fake vacs passes and then they were getting charged with felonies because it's a government document it's a special secret government document you know how many people were going to like Mexico to vacation and Mexico's like ah whatever come on in it was the only time that like people are like yeah we love that you don't have like this lax oversight yay or you have totally lax oversight
Starting point is 01:32:49 they're going to care people were going down there buying fake passes. You don't know that what they were. They were down in Mexico buying these fake fax passes coming back up. Oh yeah, we got it. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. So dumb. And then now we find out all this time later. It was all just, you know. And in the meantime, then you got Tim Walls. Everybody forget my record. Let's not pay attention to the fact that I locked down my whole damn state over a fairy tale. Vote for me. I'm still mad about all this. I'm still mad about it.
Starting point is 01:33:21 we lost friends over this. I just, how terrifying was it, though? Think about it for a moment. Allow yourself to mentally go back to that time. How freaky was it that you knew so many people who were eager to comply, right? So many were eager to comply. Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:33:52 I never forget. I left. Yeah, they like the taste of boots. I went to one out. And I left one of my allergist, the one I previously went to during lockdown, because they did the whole, make sure you have your mask on. And whenever they, they had the signs for masks and the health, like the doctor's offices and that were like the last places that that lifted that order. So I'd go in and I just out of spite, I would not wear my mask properly. I would literally wear it like crooked or I'd wear it where it's covering my neck or it was like a pirate on one eye. I literally did that. And I would go in and I would just be like, I'm going to make you. say something because this is so stupid. I was not like belligerent at all. Not at all. I just was like I dare you. And I literally would go in with my face panty like across one eye like a pirate because I'm 12 perpetually. And they'd be like, mom, you need a wire mask. You need a hold a mask. Bring it down.
Starting point is 01:34:46 Fair face. You saw New York pass that mask ban. Yeah. Oh, now they don't want them because they're like, Oh, we just made it easier for the people to rob. No, I got to wear this robbers mask now. Now you need an actual religious or health exemption to have a mask. Not religious exemption to not have a, it's unbelievable. They can't make up their minds. Oh, man, we just made it to where people can rob us and nobody knows who they are. What do you think was going to happen?
Starting point is 01:35:18 Never forget that. Never forget that. Now, in the meantime, you got the Wals, the governor, and there were, there's a video going around and people, it's a squad cars going around and they were shooting paintballs at people that were on their front porches and people were saying it was because they were to find the state-at-home lockdown order. It was actually the first time they decided to police after the George Floyd riots. That's what it was, the video that's going around. Remember, he waited three days, so everything was like hell on her. he waited for three days before he did anything and then finally he's like wow i guess they better get control over this because my whole major city is burning and then they decided they were gonna
Starting point is 01:36:01 the best way to do it you know not to i guess they weren't worried about inflaming tensions is to have the police walk through and then just like you know they see you on your porch get inside paintball that's crazy right that was crazy they did that that's on video and then remember audio sum by 21. Here's some flashback. Three Minneapolis police officers were testifying to the Minnesota Senate that Governor Tim Walz gave the order to let writers burn the MPD third precinct. Remember the police station that was being, you would, you saw it after night. They kept attacking it. It was this one. Watch this. During the riots, the officers were told they could not wear protective frog suits, but were still hit and injured with bottles, cement, and more. Sergeant Hedberg blamed state, city, and department leaders for the abandonment of the third precincts. I heard the governor say, give it up. It wasn't directly to me. It was through a phone call. The governor says give up the precinct. I mean, that's, that's demoralizing for this whole state. And the three described a demoralized police force with dozens of officers planning to retire or quit. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:37:11 Give up the precinct. Yep. I remember when that was, I remember when that story hit. Yeah, give up the precinct. It's just, you know, because, remember. remember this this was the thought and it was the baltimore mayor you saw this in portland there was this like a general thought that if you just give the writers you know like a little space you know a little safe space you know play space a little safe play space then it'll be okay and it's not not at all how that went a couple of other things you get the democratic national convention just over a week away
Starting point is 01:37:45 did you see the baroque obama summer book reading list you didn't can i just read some of the things Barack Obama had on his summer reading list. Okay, yeah. So he had, there's always this year on basketball and ascension, James by Percival Everett, reading
Starting point is 01:38:07 Genesis by Marilynne Robinson, headshot by Rita Bullwinkle, the Beautiful Day, Zach Williams. What was that last one? The Beautiful Day, Zach Williams. No, just before that one. Headshot by Rita Bullwinkle. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:38:23 Yeah. You, you, well, it might be kind of weird for a summer reading list weeks after the former president and Republican nominee for president literally survives a headshot. Right. Huh. Kind of interesting.
Starting point is 01:38:40 Seriously. Dems de rules though, right? Dems da damn rules. That's how that works. I mean, I guess that he just wants, I mean, just saying, so he actually had a book. that was called headshot on his list. Now, when Sarah Palin put purveyors marks on a map, she was accused of. Oh, and there were years and years of litigation that followed.
Starting point is 01:39:04 Mm-hmm. Like actual in court. Mm-hmm. Yep. So I'm just, are we applying the same rules or is it D different? Just curious. D different. D different.
Starting point is 01:39:15 Just, yeah. Yeah, I thought that was very interesting that, hmm, that's, now a couple of other things, too. The Secret Service has apologized for. breaking into a salon to access the restroom for a Kamala Harris fundraiser. This was kind of a wild thing to see. There's video of it. They went into this Massachusetts salon. They shut it down.
Starting point is 01:39:36 They covered an agent covered her security camera with duct tape. They picked the lock of the salon so that they could use the bathroom for a two-hour period. And then after that, they removed the tape from the security camera. And the woman said that they were directing the Secret Service. agent was directing people to use her salon's bathroom without her authorization. And it was they were there for a Kamala Harris fundraiser. Now the woman said, I knew that I needed to close my salon because they wanted all of the businesses right in this area to be closed. It's the secret service thing.
Starting point is 01:40:07 But she did not anticipate that they were actually going to break into her salon and then use her bathroom and then allow everyone else to use it as the bathroom for their op for the entirety of the event without her permission. That's crazy. She said she felt violated. The business owner said she felt violated. It was on July 27th ahead of Harris's first in-person fundraiser. And it's the 413 salon. The owner's Alicia Powers. Business Insider did an interview with her. She's in Pittsburgh, Massachusetts. And a Secret Service came in. They were looking at the area ahead of it. They were advancing it. And Harris spoke at this performing art space near
Starting point is 01:40:51 in the colonial theater and she said that they had people in and out of here doing bomb suites and she's like, I understand what they have to do to the nature of the situation. She's telling business insider this. And she says it was a little chaotic. We just made the decision to close for that Saturday. She's a salon. That's a big business day for her Saturday.
Starting point is 01:41:07 Secret Service said that the agency's employees would not enter without permission but then they had to admit, yeah, they taped over. It was 8-10. Secret Service agent had no pin on her lapel taped the camera and then picked the and they picked the lock on the door and they started picking the lock on the door and then noticed that the ring camera was watching her and that's when she pulled up a chair when got a chair from on the porch and taped over the camera the ring camera and it's all on I mean it's all on camera the door was locked but then there was another security camera inside of the building and it showed people entering over the course of two. hours and everybody was like going in using her bathroom you know the whole the whole time and the secure this the law the uh the salon security alarm rang the whole time the security footage from the two
Starting point is 01:41:58 cameras doesn't show uh it showed that people were in and out she said for an hour and a half just using her bathroom the alarms are going off they used her counter with no permission uh she said when they were done using the bathroom they left her building completely unlocked what in the hell is going on with Secret Service. They don't have the right to do that. She said it was sheer disregard for her business. Unbelievable. I'm going to make sure you have this link

Starting point is 01:43:19 Oh, good Lord. It looks like Harris Walls spokesperson. I don't even know her name. Harris Wall spokesperson. She's horrible. This is her claiming that Kamala's claim on the no tax on tips was her original idea. Listen to this. Sorry, Juan, that's seven.
Starting point is 01:43:37 She certainly, again, has many parts of President Biden's agenda that she helped pass, that she supports, but she's also going to be putting forward her own agenda. And that's something you heard her talk about when she talked about no taxes on tips in Nevada earlier. No taxes on tips. her thing. It's like she just realized her. Just like Joe, she doesn't play dress. She doesn't play your eyes at all. They can't come up with their own idea.
