Breaking news, the Biden administration taking a series of actions to target what they allege our attempts by Russian-backed actors to manipulate public opinion here in the U.S. ahead of the presidential election, according to two senior U.S. officials. Joining us now is NBC's Ken Delanyan. Ken, what more have we learned? Jose, this is being described by our sources as a whole-of-government action designed to target Russian propaganda and disinformation aimed at interfering in the 2020. election. Really?

Guess who's bad? Nobody cares. Nobody cares. It's all Russian. Golly. Just kill me now. Kill me now. Seriously. Dear God. Just, you know, come on. Lightning strike right now. If I have to go through another election cycle where I have the Democrats going,

but more Russians, I'm going to throw all of us off a cliff. I'm going to harness everyone, all of you. No one's safe. And I'm going to drag you all off a cliff with me. That's how it's going to work. Welcome to the pro. program. Dana Lash with you. It's one of them. It's a gloriously gloomy day in Texas and my mood has matched it. And also, I just cannot, I've never been more excited for an election to be over in my

life. I have never been more excited. I don't think, I've never, I honestly, I got to tell you, I don't think I experienced true hate until this election cycle. And now I really know what hate is. I thought I hated things before. No, no, I didn't hate things before. I just merely dislike them. Hate is the fiery furnace that is in the pit of my little bitter black heart, and that is what is propelling me forward in this. I'm almost at the point where I don't care.

Now we've got, but guys, look, it's, it's, it's, it's the Russians. It's the Russians again. Does anyone honestly believe this because I don't? Do you, case in point, uh, Remember when, let me go back for a minute, it was October of 2016, and they had the D&C servers that were hacked, and Democrats didn't really care about it. And they said, no, you don't need to do a forensic report. That's okay. Just skip it.

You don't need to do a forensic report. Remember that? And then when Trump had said something like, well, you know, it could be these Russians that are looking to do this. That's when Barack Obama excoriated him and said. that he needs to just kind of campaign and quit trying to blame things on everyone else. I remember. Peppridge Farm remembers, guys. We remember. We all remember this. So, I don't know. I just feel like, I just, I don't know, when I hear them talk about this again,

I don't really care. I'm not going to lie. I don't really care because I don't believe it. Do you believe it, Kane? Do you believe that there's some big Russian entity out there, getting ready to hack all the Democrats? And hell no. And if I knew Russian, I'd say it in Russian. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I feel like, so welcome to the live performance of Darya. It's Dana Lash with you at the top of this first hour. This is just some of the stuff that we've got going on today. And we're going to get into all of the latest. We've got this school that we're watching that's on lockdown in Georgia as well. I'm sure you're going to have the anti-gun ghouls immediately fire up over that. We'll keep an eye on it. and we're also going to get into a number of other things.

But this is one of the tops. This is what they really started doing yesterday with all of this, the Russian stuff. And then on top of it, and let me pull up, get my run done up here, you have the manifesto that was released. Well, it's not really a manifesto. It was the diary of the Nashville killer. And there's a great piece that Lorraine has up at Substack that breaks all of this down because this was, there was a lot of it. In fact, there were 21 different journals that they had discovered, and this is apparently just one of them. I have no idea why they didn't release it.

There was nothing in here that was going to compromise the investigation. Nothing, nothing at all whatsoever. And the, looking at some of this, because it's up at Substack, if you're a subscriber, you get it. There's screenshots of it, and it gets into the medication that she was on, you know, kind of of her mental health history. She tries to use autism as like an excuse for being an evil murderer, which is, you know, unfortunate because that's, you know, that has nothing to, one has nothing to do with the other at all whatsoever. She was on a ton of different medications, though, all kinds of anxiety medications. She was on, like, antidepressants. And I think there's a lot of questions as to

how that affect it, because clearly she was mentally unstable. I mean, she, she was mentally unstable already and then add all this to it. Plus, this kind of confirms what we all know in that she was a mentally ill person who was further radicalized by gender ideology, the push for gender ideology. I mean, this is completely evident. So I have no idea when I was reading over this PDF that was released yesterday. And it was the Tennessee Star, I believe, that, got this finally. I have no idea why this wasn't released sooner. There was no reason at all for this not to have been released any sooner or any later than what it was. It just doesn't make sense. And clearly she was radicalized. She gets into, I'm not going to read all of it, but I mean,

there was a motive. The motive is evident. And I think really ultimately that's the only reason why they didn't want to release this because they did not want to confirm the suspicion that we all had in that she this was her I mean we all knew this this was the

you know her main her motivation was she was a radical trans Tifa member that's and that's exactly what this her diaries show they absolutely show this without any question of it out that's there's there's

that's it's it that they waited so long to release it is political activism. That they refused to release it, that they refused to show people that, yes, this is another example of radical gender ideology that's, you know, it's been weaponized and now it's caused lives is that's political activism. That's exactly what it is. So this is one of the other things that we're watching. that we're going to break down as well today. Also on deck, the Secret Service, this gets

crazier and crazier this story. So apparently, Senator Josh Hawley was saying that the agents that were in Trump's Secret Service detail in Butler, Pennsylvania, were amateur Homeland Security agents who only had two hours of training on a webinar. I've seen the memes that say DEI hard. that's well we knew that there were some some agents and that were that were uh u.s marshals etc and that there's a lot of questions with us there's still a lot of questions that we have like this dude was on his phone there are pictures of this dude on his phone was he communicating with somebody was he texting with somebody do we know are we not allowed to ask those questions because see this is what i we live in the stupidest time we live in the dumbest time the biggest year

of information. You literally had an attempted assassination of a former president live on television, and we don't I mean, we do not know hardly anything more than we knew the day of. That is inexcusable. Don't sit here and tell me, you know, try to sell me this pig feces that, oh,

well, it's because I'm going to investigation. There's nothing compromised by this. Nothing. It's being held because it's all politicized. Everything is super politicized. Super politicized. Like, for instance, I'm sure you guys, I'm not going to the video because I can't stand orange people

in spaghetti tank tops with vocal fries sitting here doing stuff for clicks. But I do I do believe that the whole Alexa and what is the other thing? You have Alexa? What are all of them? Siri. Yeah, there's Siri. Alexa.

What's the Google one? I don't know. They all should die. Just hey Google, right, isn't it? Hey, B. Yo, B, that one? I don't know. Anyway, there's these videos going around people asking their voice enabled assistant like what you know about political questions and i mean clearly there's an obvious bias there so amazon told variety that

their Alexa voice enabled assistant doesn't have any political opinions they're saying that no no no it's just um it was a mistake when they were saying that you should vote for a kamala harris in the video instead of Donald trump it was a mistake no one believes this i actually don't care what a i wants to vote for. I don't care about AI. I don't care about any of it. I just want to be able to find things when I use a stupid search engine. The algorithms are so stupid. I want to be able to simply find things when I use a search engine. I don't want the algorithms preferred results. It's all stupid, tribal, partisan BS. It's all it is. All I want is to be able to find stuff, right? I feel like Linus's sister, Sally, and the peanuts. All I want is to be able to find stuff.

all my search results. All I want is to be able to get what I deserve when I'm looking on Google. All I want. That's all I want. That's all I want. That's all I want. Right? It's all anybody wants. I should have to add Reddit to it just to like find something to get around algorithms. It's insane. But it's all, it's, this is the nightmare of it. Everybody is so, all of this began because some progressive moron got their, their feelings hurt. They got all butt hurt because someone didn't share their opinions and it all snowballed from there. And now we live in this dystopian. hellscape where you can't even find like a recipe online without getting punched in the throat with someone's stupid, uneducated political opinions. I think Kamala Harris is good for the economy.

No one believes this. What does this have to do? I'm looking literally for a cake recipe. What does this have to do with us? Stop it. Tired of it. Everything is politicized. Everything. You know the Peloton thing? Oh my gosh. I hate Peloton. on. I was talking to a friend and she asked me, she's like, can I buy your Peloton from you? I don't use it. Over lockdown, they started getting super politicized. And I, if I could lift it, it weighs like, I don't know if you know this, it weighs 11 per trillion pounds. It's an actual measurement. I wanted to take it and throw it through my window. If I could have, I would have. I wanted to shoot the monitor. I was just done with it. Everything was like, now we're going to

take a knee for, shut up. Just you're on a bicycle. This is what I get for buying a stationary bicycle, which is about the stupidest thing I can imagine. Just get on an actual bike. Go, go sightsy. You know, I don't know. But everything, even that is politicized. Everything is politicized nowadays. Brands have to send out statements.

Everything. Super hyper-tribal. News, medicine, law. You know, the upside to AI is that if you actually get decent people, programming it, then you can get around some of these dumb opinions, but you're not going to have decent people programming it. That's the problem. That's the catch-22. Some of the things we've got coming up for you. The further with this Russian stuff, we're also watching the school. The EV mandate, the Harris campaign still falling all over themselves. I got polling for you, some new polling. I'm not super excited about any of it. It's all at some point still a prediction, but I do want to caution you that it wasn't all. that different. They weren't really often. They definitely weren't off in 2022. They weren't really off in 2018 either. I'm just tired of trying to convince people to, you know, maybe you got to do half and half, like give some stock to the, to the surveys, and then also give some stock to common sense.

We're going to talk about that as well going into it. I've got some culture. Wait until you see, you remember the photos where they, they, the commander of the USS John. McCain was relieved and replaced by a guy because he posted a photo of himself firing a rifle with the scope mounted totally backwards. Wait until you hear who they replaced him with. Hands to sky, I'm not making this up. You're going to think I am. I promise you, I'm not. So just stick around.

I will get into all of that. Our partners that help bring you free radio, new partners to the show, burn a gun. It's a non-firearm firearm. I'm always going to tell you to carry. I am never going to tell you not to carry. And I'm never, ever going to tell you to be irresponsible about your self-defense. That said, I think you should have some diverse options. at the ready because, you know, you're not able to carry your firearm everywhere that you need to go.

And I would love to have the luxury of being able to not go into gun-free zones, but by the nature of what I do to feed my family and to go out and help, you know, get people registered to vote and to do the work of people who want to complain about it, I have to go into gun-free zone sometimes. I don't like being left defenseless, particularly with the crime rate. So this is where Burn a gun comes in. I have a lot of friends who work in D.C., Chicago, New York, and they've gone out and gotten their most popular model, the Burna SD. It shoots out chemical irritant projectiles, five-round capacity compared to stun guns that are restricted to just one or two shots as well. And the Burna SD, it's their best-selling

defense option. And it's a non-firearm firearm. It doesn't care about gun-free zones. Legal in all 50 states requires no background checks or permits. And it can be shipped right to your door.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So we're following the story of this Appalachia High School in Winder, Georgia, which is on lockdown after reports of gunfire.

We're going to, gunshots, we're going to follow up with that. It's on lockdown. They said at least one person was reportedly taken into custody. Someone else was loaded on a medical helicopter. but we'll have any updates on that for you as we get them. Also, this Houthi terrorists, you know, the Iranian-backed Houthis, hit two oil tankers with missiles. This ongoing in the Red Sea, as they are disrupting shipping routes over Israel's war defending itself against Hamas. The Houthis attacked the Panama-flagged and owned-Greek-operated MV Blue Lagoon 1, and the Saudi-flagued-owned and operated M-V-V-1.

Amjad with two ballistic missiles and a one-way attack uncrewed aerial system. It hit both vessels, according to Sentcom, in a statement they were laden with crude oil. Also, this, they said, Burning Man attendees, according to Yahoo, were blasted by a giant dust storm during the desert Exodus. They do make it sound quite biblical, do they not? Tens of thousands of Burning Man participants face delays up to 10 hours, getting off. sight after a vicious dust storm reduced visibility to barely five feet on the last day of the desert festival.

According to San Francisco, the SFGate, they said that billowing plumes of grit and sand kept drivers from inching along at a more than glacial pace on Monday. It's pretty crazy. Also, a study reveals what drives people to procrastinate.

Why do you need to study for this? This is stupid. It's laziness and discipline. Lack of discipline, rather. Come on. Cable TVs, collapse. deepens, it's becoming increasingly clear, say, report, so there's no floor. Of course, there isn't. I mean, it's, everything's moving.

Although I will say, I hate that I pay for an Amazon service to stream things, and then I still get ads. I, it makes me, when I see someone, do you, do you have a visceral reaction like I do? When I see you interrupt my paid service with your ad, I hate your product. They did that in the 80s with us with

cable, remember? Get cable in your home. No more ads. And then, boom, within months. Get satellite your home. No more ads. Boom. Ads. They always lie about the ads. They always lie about the ads. Southern California heat wave. The temperature is up to 119 degrees.

Your office has made clear she'd been fired in March of 2023 for misconduct and you are cooperating with law enforcement. But is there anything else you can tell us about that case? Absolutely shocking. And she has been in government for many, many years, even prior to the time I became governor, where she was involved in making a lot of decisions. related to the relationship between the administration at the time and the Chinese government, promoting Chinese viewpoints and giving them proclamations and visas,

and actually at the same time really diminishing any involvement with the country of Taiwan. It is shocking in its scale. So this is some of the developments that came out of that story yesterday, the Chinese spy that was working with Kathy Hockel's in her administration. What is it, her deputy communications? her deputy uh she was like her number two in charge welcome back to the program uh Dana lash with you here at the bottom of this first hour we're also watching this story that's coming out of uh Georgia uh this story about this and I'm pulling up again breaking news so we're we're we don't have a

the first doesn't have a breaking news cruise so we're we're watching this as this unfolds and this story, this Georgia school, apparently there are some casualties, although we don't know how many at this point. It's Appalachie School in Winter, Georgia. It's on lockdown after there were reports of gunshots. One person at least was loaded into a medic helicopter on a stretcher. They have dozens of ambulances and obviously vehicles, etc., outside of the school. And apparently the suspect is in custody and local hospitals have received multiple patients following this shooting at this Appalachie High School. It's in Barrow County, Georgia, and like I said, we're still getting some of the latest information from this. They said, apparently nine injured. One of the town hall says that there were four fatalities, although I'm waiting for law enforcement to confirm that first, but they said that there are apparently nine injured. The initial report is four fatalities, and apparently the individual who was taken into custody is evidently a student. And that's all we know right now in Winder, Georgia, Barrow County there

at Appalachie High School, where everybody's on lockdown. So there's still, again, as the, as the information comes in, you know, you'd like to wait for information to come in before you start, you know, dissecting the story further, but I really don't think that there's going to be a heck of a lot of time before, because it always, it usually seems that before information comes in, things get hyper, hyper, hyper, political, hyper, hyper, hyper quickly. But as we get confirmed information in, we'll bring that to you. So far as it is, the Associated Press is the only one that's saying that there's injuries right now. They haven't reported on any fatalities just yet. But we'll bring you all of that as we get it, as we get that information, but, you know, tragic. I mean, it's, you know, probably for a lot of these schools, like the first or second week back, but they are still on lockdown. And I would, they said that the local hospital there is receiving some of the patients. We don't know if they're students or if they're also staff members or if they are, we don't, we don't know how many are minors or adults or anything of that nature. But apparently there, the, the suspect, one suspect, one suspect,

is in custody. So that is the latest coming out of Appalachia High School in Winder, Winder, Georgia following the reports of this lockdown. And that was, you know, pretty, you know, they, I don't know how soon after, how soon after school started that it began, we're still, I'm sure we're going to get a timeline. The sheriff's, the sheriff did confirm that one suspect was in custody. So that is the sheriff there in Barrow County, Georgia, that school shooting, who did say that one suspect was in custody at Appalachia High School. So that is confirmed. And we'll bring you, like I said, more information as we get it.

I only want to go with confirmed stuff. And we're not going to, as you know, if you've listened to the show for any period of time, we don't play around with speculation. We don't get into any of that. We just want to make sure that we have just the latest information from law enforcement. So we'll bring you anything new from that. But that is in Georgia. also one of the other things, one of the other stories that we are watching today. And we've been getting

into this with the election and with the campaign accusations about Russian involvement and hacking and all of this. We had this manifesto from the Nashville killer. Now, there's a great piece that's up at the newsletter for the program, chapter and verse, that you can go and read. Lorraine has it up this morning. It's one of the 20th century. journals from this killer, the Nashville Transkiller. And this, some of them date back to 2007. And the one that they did that they were able to get was apparently in the killer's car. And it's not so much a manifesto as it, I mean, it's a diary, but, you know, we call it a manifesto.

But it does give some serious insight into the killer's mind. And I have no idea why it wasn't really. released earlier. It doesn't, releasing it earlier doesn't do anything to, to compromise any kind of investigation. It doesn't do anything to jeopardize the case. But what it does do is it shows that there clearly was a motive and there clearly, it was clearly radical gender ideology and that this individual was mentally ill and was further radicalized by radical gender ideology. Now, the medications she was on, I mean, she was on antidepressants, anti-anxiety, she was on a handful of medications. And one that she was on, and this is according to the medications that she wrote about also from Tennessee Star.

One of them, Larazepam, was, it's apparently, Lorraine has a write-up on it saying that it's a benzah that can be habit-forming and cause suicidal ideation among other things. It feels like maybe if you're dealing with suicidal depression and you have a very long documented history of depression that maybe perhaps that's a medication you should not be on. And there was no indication as to how long she was on any of these, only that these were the ones that she had, you know, at the time she was killed. So maybe it was new, you know, not quite sure. But very, very troubled individual that it was kept out, that this was kept from the public, I think just further showcases the, politicized nature of everything. I mean, everything is so unbelievably politicized in this country, including this. And I don't know why the left can't, couldn't admit that this was this killer's motivation. Radical gender ideology and hatred and anger towards people of faith, clearly as it,

and apparently, you know, parental problems, daddy issues, as she had written in her diary as well. she had fought with her mom all kinds of stuff i mean this was this is somebody who was clearly in trouble this was someone who documented uh and it was it's weird too the way she documented it's so it's almost like a burn book and i don't say that as a way to diminish the severity of it i just literally have no other way to describe it you know the burn book from mean girls it's like that it is it's not like this you know written you know treaties it's it's it is like the burn book for mean it is very, very odd. And one of the things noted in this is that she seems to be arrested in childhood.

Like she's obsessed with being a kid. She is obsessed with staying a, like staying childlike, like a Peter Pan kind of syndrome. It's very odd. There's a lot of stuff here. And it's a mental illness. And the gender, the radicalized gender ideology, honestly, I think it preys on people with, I think the people who promote this, they prey on people with mental illness, and they further radicalize them and do so much damage. It seems like it's compounded, that it targets people with

this ideology and the people who promote it. They're, it's the people who have mental illness are very susceptible, and then that's further compounded by all of this highly politicized, radicalized theory. It's incredibly unfortunate. But now we, I, now we know, I mean, this is what we all assumed in the first place. We all assumed this in the first place. Now, case and point, I wanted to move to this, too. I'm going down here to what I tweeted the other day. This was yesterday. So, apparently the new commander, the previous commander of the USS John S. McCain, do you guys remember the story of how the Navy had dismissed this warship commander over this scope that was on backwards. It was so bad.

The guy's name, Commander Cameron Yeast at the USS Jonas McCain. He had a photo of himself firing a rifle with a backward mounted scope. It went viral because they used it in promotional materials. Remember that whole thing? It was really bad. So they have a temporary, they have a substitute. They have someone temporarily taking over command. And the individual is Captain Christie. Now, I got some questions about this because the Captain Christie individual, apparently they were a featured speaker

at the LGBT experiences in the Navy back in 2021. And the photo is a little odd. I mean, it is, it's a little, I don't know. I don't know what this is. What is this? What is this, Kane? I have no idea. That's supposed to be the captain.

I guess as kids, we used to play pretend. Like, hey, I'm captain of the ship. Hey, I'm, you know, firefighter. Hey, I'm cop. And this looks pretend to me. So I was looking because this, I'm looking at this hill right up. So the Yaste, I mean, his removal, I mean, the rifle photo where he had the scope backwards was so bad. And that was part of their promotional materials.

And it was just, it got a lot of people made fun of it, understandably so. And he was removed due to loss of confidence in his ability to command a guided missile destroyer. That's a seriously heavy. And he was relieved by a rear admiral Christopher Alexander, commander of the Theodore War Roosevelt. carrier strike group. So now we have this new individual Captain Allison Christie, deputy Commodore of the Destroyer Squadron 21. And I don't know that we know a lot about this captain, this Captain Allison Christie. Do we know a lot about? I don't know. I mean, apparently Christie took part in a lot of the alphabet stuff. And a lot of the lefty websites are saying

that people are upset because bigots are raging because an alphabet woman has replaced a fired U.S. Navy worship commander or something like that. Is Allison Christie a gay woman? Or I'm just curious. Kane. I think you're trying to make sense of mentally ill things and it just never really works out. Or, I mean, I don't know anything about this person. Is it a, is it, is it a dude who's,

I'm just asking. You're in charge of other lives and you're confused about your own. I don't want you in a position in charge of other lives. Well, apparently, I think that Captain Christie is just a lesbian, which here's the thing. I don't care what you're doing if you can go out and kick ass. Can you kick ass? That's it. But when you start to make all of these other things, you start to prioritize them and you start to use it as activists within the military, that undermined.

military unity and readiness. You're supposed to discard those singularities, those individualistic traits to be part of the whole. That is the entire point of joining a fighting force. And when you refuse to do that, and you start promoting these very individual, you know, characteristics and start using that as like, you know, promoting that singularly as an activist within the military,

you are, you're refusing to just be cohesive at that point. It's a distraction. Nobody cares, but people, these activists are hell-bent on making it a point. And when they do that, it is a distraction. And then you wonder why we're having such problems with military readiness right now. That's a huge issue. And of all the entities that need to be merit-based, it's the military. Right. Exactly. I mean, military, the military is discriminatory against people who aren't able to do the job. Exactly. And it should be physically or mentally. And there's, that's completely acceptable. That is completely acceptable because then you're going to get yourself killed and you're going to get other people killed.

I mean, it just, there's no point to it. There's, there's, it, it serves up a distraction and it undermines the cohesiveness of the military unit. So I don't know. I mean, the fact that that Captain Christie said, did a lot of, of this activist alphabet stuff within the military, I have a major problem. If it was just, oh, here's Captain Christie taking over, doing this job. And I don't know anything about her because I don't care. I don't care.

I don't care if she hates people and she thinks she's an alien. I don't care. Can she kick ass and can she just focus on doing her job? But the fact that there's all this other stuff that she has brought front and center and has promoted as an activist, that gives me a real pause. Can you just, can people just do their damn jobs?

They God protect our troops. President Biden. President Biden. President Biden. Thank you so much. We're coming this way. We're coming this way. How do you help you like this way, guys.

We're going to go out of here. Emily, we're moving that way. We got to go. I thought he was at the resolute desk. Well, he's there, I guess. I don't know what he's doing. Guys, he's presidenting. That's what you're supposed to take away from that. He's presidenting. He's, what happened to the desk, though?

For real. Like, I wish that there was a way live that Juan could just rewind it while keeping it on the screen. I'm totally all right if you do that. I just, I need to see that little bitty, tiny, bitty, look, okay, pause it right. What in the world? Is it just a table? I mean, I don't know why I thought that he was,

so he's not in like the White House or anything like that. It's just kind of weird. That's where they stuck him because he's not really president anymore. It's a set. Yeah, they just stuck, is that in the Delaware basement? Is that where he's at? I'm curious. You know, we got, we got questions.

We got a lot still on the way. We've got the latest with this school lockdown.

What I've heard tonight, Jesse, is that most of the agents who were there, at that rally and Butler were not Secret Service agents. They were, in fact, Homeland Security

agents. And get this, most of those Homeland Security agents, the only training that they received was an online webinar, a two-hour online webinar. And I'm told that about half the time, the sound to the webinar didn't even work. So think about this. The President of the United States, former President of the United States, Donald Trump, is sent out on stage. Most of the people there aren't trained. They're not qualified. They only got a webinar training and even that didn't work. It is absolutely outrageous. That's like remote learning. That's the time you don't want to have remote learning is when you're practicing, you know, keeping the president of the United States or the former president safe. Just the thought. That was Senator Josh Holly on that whole, that new

development yesterday. A lot of stuff, a lot of developments, a lot of stuff to look at today. That's still wild to me. There's a lot we don't know yet. A lot we do not know. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this second hour and we are following the story coming out of Georgia, Appalachie High School, where a shooting took place this morning. The suspect, according to the sheriff, is in custody and they're still working to determine the number of injuries. They said the, which I don't want to go with the number of injuries until we actually have something confirmed with law enforcement, because I have seen them very wildly between actual news agencies. So we want to, you want to make sure that it's accurate and you don't

want to just rush out and just, you want to make sure that it's accurate when you go out. So it's a Georgia high school. It's Appalachia High School, Barrow County, Georgia. They said that the suspect is in custody. They're still working to determine the number of injuries, although they do know that local hospitals have accepted, have been taking patients and that have injuries. They said that there is, there are casualties that have been reported. I've only so far have seen the local news say two casualties thus far.

The number of injured, that's one of the numbers that's varied. But one suspect, according to the sheriff, is in custody. custody. The Georgia Governor Brian Kempis said he's directed state resources to respond to the incident at this school in Winder, Georgia. And the, it looks like it's more of more out, more near a rural part of Georgia, more towards the center of the state, but still this, four injuries that I've seen, I've seen anywhere from four to nine to 12, but we're still waiting for a confirmed number of injuries on this. But this is, this took place in Georgia. Police have responded and we're waiting to see, waiting to get more information from local law enforcement.

But I don't know if it was the first day of school there or not. That was also what's been reported, but two fatalities. And apparently the suspect is, is one local, one local outlet said it was a student. One local outlet said that the suspect that was taken into custody was a student. The whole school was put on lockdown. The high school is about 25 miles west of Athens, Georgia. It's home to about 1,900 students. And the first, apparently was first reported at 1023 a.m. That time zone. So that would be Eastern Times zone.

It would be 923, I believe, maybe perhaps our time, I think. The Borough County Sheriff's Office did, they haven't so far yet said whether or not they are, when they're going to have a press conference at this point, they said that other Barrow County schools remain on soft soft lockdown as a precaution. Apparently parents have been told that they can start picking up their kids and they said that don't visit your child school at this time. They're not releasing students during the soft lockdown. They'll clear it for dismissal soon. But the, and it apparently was a senior at one high, at the high school there who said that he had heard the shots. He was in chemistry class. So apparently was at, it was at the high school. But

we'll have more information for you as we get it. But we know that hospitals in that area, and again, it's like 25 miles out west of Athens, Georgia. We know that they're accepting some of the injured from this and we'll have more information. A interesting point to note, and I'm only saying this because I know for, and I'm already seeing it, this is the part that gets incredibly difficult because whenever you're, wherever you're live on air and you have stories like this that take place, you want to make sure that you're not offering speculation and you're only bringing, you know, the absolute news on this, things that have been confirmed, things that local media have credibly reported or things that law enforcement have confirmed.

But you all also, because of the nature of the story, immediately get highly politicized, highly politicized reactions from lawmakers and other talking heads and other people in media. And it's interesting to point out that of this, of the school systems, and just pointing this out, of the school systems in Georgia that allow for armed staff, armed teachers, and there's only three of them that do this, this is not one of them. This school district is not one of them. So it is, and you have federal law already that mandates gun-free zones for all schools. That's been federal law for 30 years. So just wanted to point that out as the discussion, as you know, we'll take that turn, sadly coming up. But

apparently, we are going to have a press conference shortly about this. And we'll be you all of the latest as we do. Any developments, I'll pop in with those at this time. So far, we don't have an ETA on the press conference. But when we get it, I will let you know. Also, on deck, one of the other things that we've been watching today and keeping track of is we got some, there's polling to get into, and we also have some economic news as well. And some of the polling that were, that we're seeing as well, I know 538 had a big piece out this morning, where they were saying that Trump was a few points ahead with Kamala Harris. This is going to go back and forth up until election.

It's important to note that when these surveys are taken, it's a snapshot in time. And a lot of things can change on this. There are a lot of things that can change the headlines. You know, you have the October surprises, all of this stuff. It's a snapshot in time that can wildly change week to week. And as a result, I think it's important to be. Be cautious, but also realize that there is some basis and truth in some of these surveys. Back in 2022, we were told that there was going to be a red wave.

There was not. In 2020, we were kind of told the same thing, and we didn't see that. We also saw or heard this a lot in 2016. The polling, though, was pretty rough in 2016. I want to stop real quickly. We're going to come back to the polling. I want to take some of this from Judd Smith, who is with the Barrow County Sheriff. office here in Georgia. Just a real quick update about the school shooting that took place,

and I want to hear some of this as it is important to our program. If we can get this. Thank you. All right, good afternoon. My name is Sheriff Judge Smith. I'm the Sheriff of Barra County Sheriff's Office. We're standing on the campus of Appalachia High School here at Barra County Schools. First and foremost, I want to lift up our community. I want to give our sympathies to our community, our school system, our kids, our parents that had to witness this today. Obviously, what you see behind us is an evil thing today. At about 9.30 this morning, we received the first call that there was an active shooter on this campus. We're not releasing any information as far as injuries, but we have multiple injuries. This is a very, very fluid investigation,

It's very early. And I have asked the assistance of the GBI and the agencies here behind me today. And there are multiple agencies that responded this morning to help us and help the sheriff's office. We do have a suspect in custody. And we are asking for your patience as the media to please let us get the facts that we need to make sure we get this right. Again, I've asked the GBI to help us, the sheriff's office, to help us along with this. I know this is not what you want to hear, but I'm not going to answer questions after this is over with.

But I wanted to give you the respect and our community respect to let them know what was going on initially. We're in the process of reunifying our students with their parents. Obviously, that's chaotic. But we want to be respectful of them and their privacy as well. I want to thank the state, the federal agencies, the local agencies that showed up today, as you can see, the multiple EMS and fire from other agencies that responded today. Again, I ask that you lift up Barra County Schools, lift up Appalachia, lift up our agencies. This is going to take multiple days for us to get answers as to what happened and why this happened. but I wanted to give you a statement.

It is our hope in conjunction with these people behind us that we can give you another statement around 4 o'clock because I know you have to go back on the air. That is my hope. But I wanted to be fluid with you all, understanding that it's fluid as well with this investigation. I appreciate you being patient with us. Again, it's very active and is ever developing.

Every minute is developing on what we're finding. So we're going to have releases from other schools. Again, we ask that you be patient with us. Please be patient with us. And hopefully I can give you more information or more better information, if you will, this afternoon. Thank you all for coming out here. We'll be back shortly, okay? Sheriff, it's been widely reported that people are dead. Is that true? I'm not releasing information. We have multiple injuries.

Can you say if the person in custody is an adult or is similar to a few of them? I'm not releasing the information. Guys, I'm not going to answer any more questions. It's time, okay? Thank you. So that's there with Borough County, Georgia. They're not confirming, they're not confirming whether or not,

well, the number of fatalities, if there are fatalities, or whether or not the individual who's taken into custody was a student or an adult. But I imagine all of that's going to come out as the investigation commences. I'm sure they're still working to make sure that that area is secure

and that in addition to that, everybody who's injured is receiving, you know, the care that they need. So we'll bring you updates on that as we get it. But this is, if you're joining us, that has to do with the school shooting that took place this morning in winter Georgia. As in Borough County, there's 25 miles west of Athens. It's about 1,900 students at this high school. And the sheriff's department said that there were injuries and there have been reports of multiple casualties, but we're still waiting for confirmation from law enforcement on that. Local news has been reporting two fatalities, and I've seen reports of four injured,

nine injured, and 12 injured. But as you just heard, the Sheriff's Department there in Borough County said they're not going to confirm anything. The investigation's ongoing. They just wanted to give kind of the basic lay of the land. Obviously, I would imagine they'll answer more questions later, but they're not going to answer any more right now. So that's the latest coming out of Georgia.

And it's important to know because I already see it happening. I just want to make this point, two points really quickly for the past 30 years, schools have been gun-free zones. That has, again, for the past 30 years, it's been federal law. Number two, of the three school systems that actually allow for armed carry in schools, this school district is not one of them. We'll have more on this. As the developments come, we also have some other news to get to today as well. Readywise, once, first off, with Readyways, you know where your food is coming from.

So apparently Nicholas Maduro is declaring Christmas in October amid Venezuela's post-election strife,

the president has moved holiday celebrations up again to distract from the political crisis. Nothing says tyrant, like actually changing, trying to change Christmas so that you can distract from your own scandals. That's insane. So, yeah, they made, he made the, that this year's festivities begin in October.

Like, he's making everyone celebrate Christmas beginning in October. I mean, I love Jesus, but I don't think he does. from just saying. And Oregon law is rolling back drug decriminalization. Well, it's rolling it back. And that's going to, so now it's going to make possession a crime again. The first in the nation experiment

with drug decriminalization didn't go. So well, for Oregon, I know you're very shocked by this. We're all super shocked. We, none of us, none of us said, we told you so. Or we had no idea this was going to happen. Did we, Kane? We didn't know. We didn't know. The Democrat controlled legislature passed the recriminalization. law in March overhauling a measure approved by 58% of voters in 2020 that made possessing

illicit drugs like heroin punishable by a ticket and a maximum $100 fine. So they also want the taxes from it. Let's be real. Like they're going to get hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue from like cannabis and all this other stuff. And if they can find a way to tax it, they'll make everything legal. But they got to tax it. They've got to figure out how to do that. A pickleball program instead of a Connecticut prison is helping incarcerated people find self-worth. This is actual headline. An actual headline. And I am just going to go out on a limb and say,

I don't understand Pickaball. You want to hear something shocking about me? You want to hear like probably the most shocking thing you were ever going to hear? I've never held a tennis racket. Never played tennis. I've never even so much as held a racket. No.

Seriously. That's a lie. Not a lie. Not even a racquetball racket? I don't even know what that is. How's it different? Holy cow. No, I've held.

the ping pong stuff, that little paddle, never legit, have never held a tennis racket in my life. I could be like one of the Williams sisters. You don't even know. And I've never held a tennis racket. Don't know. You don't even know the extent of my abilities or lack thereof. Nobody knows. Anyway, pickleball, isn't that, I don't understand pickleball. Someone said it's like lazy tennis. Didn't Steve say that? Steve likes pickleball, though. I'm almost terrified to talk about it because I already got one strike against me because I bash disco and that he does, and he's, and he's, and he's, and he's, and he's, and he's, and he's, he's, he's. He is a disco fan. We have more on the way, including the train obsession from the left. We also are going to get into Cours.

It was always bad beer. We'll talk about that coming up. Keltec, the P15. If you have not gotten the P15, you need to. It is the lightest, thinnest, double-stack 9mm on the market. And there are two versions of it. You have the polymer version. And you have the metal version with the woodpans.

Since when does the vice president have what sounds like a southern accent? Better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. And you all helped us win in 2020 and we're going to do it again in 2024.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Well, I mean, this is... She was talking about unions in Detroit. one tone of voice. Is this something that you think? Same line. Okay, Peter. Let's- She used the same line in Pittsburgh,

and it sounded like she at least had some kind of a southern drawl. I mean, do you hear the question that you're... I mean, do you think Americans seriously think that this is an important question? They care. You know what they care about? They care about lowering costs. You don't.

They care about health care. That's what Americans care about. So, that's what they want to hear. They care about your colleague just asked me about democracy. Basically, we talked about women. back and forth about democracy and freedom. That's what they care about. I'm not even going to entertain some question about the president.

It's just, it's just hearing it sounds so ridiculous. Well, but hearing it is. The question, I'm talking about the questions is, is just insane. Is that how she talks in meetings here? I'm just good. Peter, we're moving on. We're still moving around. Peter Deucey's the real MVP man.

He is, I think, my favorite person to ever ask questions in the press. Whenever he, and you know it, because he doesn't really have a lot of tells, but he'll do this thing where he just gets very pointed. He just, you know, and you know something, he's winding up with something. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. We're at the bottom of the second hour. And it's funny. It's funny because, I mean, you know, it's the whole thing is true.

We all heard it. And we all know that that's not how she talked. and we talked about this yesterday, the Southern Baptist preacher speaking technique. Why does she act? I mean, she's pandering. It puts Couragee-on-Pierre in a funny spot. I will say, what is she going to say to it?

I like to watch her squirm anyway, but, you know, if you're, what is she going to say to it? She can act like it's ridiculous. But it's ridiculous that she did it. That she got up there on like foghorn, leghorned her way through some remarks because she wanted to pander to a bunch of people.

She's from California. She's like an alien outside of California. It doesn't matter who you are. You're Californian, when you go, it's why we always tell our Californian friends whenever they're in Texas. We're like, welcome to America. Or our New York friends whenever they visit Texas, welcome to New, welcome to America. It's, it's, it's, she just thinks that's the way to talk to people. It's very similar to when Hillary Clinton was like, I ain't always tarred.

T-O-R-A-D-T-O-R-D-T-R-D for tired. I don't know. My kids make fun of me, though, for some of the words I say. But I don't fake it. It's just, I have to fake it to say them correctly. Me saying wash is me faking saying it correctly. And that sounds stupid, by the way. I don't care if there's not an R in there.

It gets said with an or in it. It's Warsh. I say that six ways a Sunday. Warsh, it's Warsh. Have you never said that came? Warsh? No, when I'm making fun of people that say it that way, I do. I just say wash, just like everybody else.

Wash. That sounds so dumb. You get like a duck sound going, wash. Because that's what it sounds like. It sounds like a duck said it. No. That's a duck word. It's just wash.

Wash. No. I think at this point, it sounds like Juan knows English better than I do. Wash. I just can't. It's weird. It's a weird vowel. Pillow.

Pillow. Pillow. That's what he said. No. You said pillow. Pello. with an E. It's spelled with an I.

Just how do you say pill? Like you got to take a pill. What? Pill. Okay, now O at the end of that. Pell, oh. No, it's just, sorry. I know how you lost it.

Is it matter? It only matters when we're talking about the my pillow and I have to really over-enunciate it. See, that's me faking it. Me talking right is faking it. But I can't say wash. That sounds like I'm being pretentious. I said that was pretty good what you did there. I have to pretend pinkies out.

Wash. Oh, there's no H in there, is it? I know. You're like, cool whip. I know, I don't need that. Whip. Just wash. It sounds weird.

It sounds like I'm eating my lips. Like it's wash. It's weird. It's a weird word. It's a weird word. You know, sometimes you say a word a whole bunch and it loses on me. How do you say Washington? Washington.

What? Yeah. No, don't say it so fast. Just say Washington. Washington. See? That's not, just stop the Inkton part. Orsh.

Whatever, you think old people aren't innocent, so don't make fun of me. So we're not even playing. Anyway, long story short, why does she, I mean, you don't need to fake like that. You know, if you really wanted to, if she really wanted to try to resonate with the voter, she could talk about how she's not going to continue with the economic policies that have bankrupted us all. I don't know. Maybe that might be like a thing to, that might be a thing to say. Her vice president, have you seen.

this or her VP pick. Tim Walses' family. Have you seen this? Tim Walsh's family are apparently Republican. Like the Nebraska. So the, this is Daily Mail. I, now I'm going to read this story. I actually hate when I see this play out in the media. I'm not celebrating this. I didn't like it when the Kennedys did it, and I don't like this either. Tim Walsh's family said that they're backing Trump in a bombshell leaked photo. His brother, his brother said he's not the type of character you won in the White House. I agree. Yes, I agree with you, but you're his brother.

You don't trash your family. This is where I get Godfather. You don't go against the family in public. You don't do that. You know what I mean? Like you can vote Trump or Republican and all that six ways to Sunday. That's his family. You can vote for Trump all you want to.

But that doesn't mean you got to go back. your blood. I mean, Mary Trump does it? So? To Trump? Oh, okay. So then it's cool.

It's bad, too. It's bad that way, too. Well, I'm just saying that they're not bashing anyone. They're just for something. Like, I think you're confusing the other people being against stuff. I don't think you should go against family like that in public. So they can't say they're for Trump? They're not just saying they're for Trump. They're seeking the press.

And they're going, well, we don't, don't make me defend the schmock. Do not make me defend him. We're, you know what, worst, worst, worst, worst, worst, pelo, pelo. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. One more, one more. Milk. That's cruel and unusual. Uh-huh.

I just think that family should be family first. I don't like it when it gets political first and then family. I don't like that order. Yeah, and I know what you like how you handle the Kennedy stuff too because they were like, oh, family's going to disown them. You know, JFK would be rolling in his grave. Yes, the hyanus port hillbillies. Yes, those people.

But here I don't see the malice. They just say, hey, you know what? We got the inside story. We just don't think you want them in the White House. Why do they got it? But that's the thing. That doesn't say he can't do other things. Yes, he did.

The brother was like the stories I could tell in one of the posts on Facebook. But he didn't, did he? Dude. He just could have. Dude. He, you know what that means. Stories he could have told. That's like chick level manipulation.

Like, mm-hmm. you know the things I could say and you know what that means when a woman says something like that like oh there's a lot there that's what he's doing that's what he's doing no I don't I mean I probably agree with him politically

I do not want to defend oh my gosh dear heavens didn't have me I don't know how much was it really them seeking the press out or was it them putting that up he was posting all over Facebook publicly put it on social media that's fine you know why he did it because everybody knows that's his brother okay

He knows that that's going to have a lot more sway and influence than a rando. Okay. And then the media reached out to him. And then he was like, yeah, and talk to the media. He said, he goes, I'm 100% opposed to all of his ideology. And he said he's not the kind of guy that you want in the White House. And he goes, and then he did add. He goes, I felt long and hard about doing something.

You know, I'm torn between that and just keeping my family out of it. The stories I could tell not the type of character you want making decisions about your future. I totally agree with him. He and his brother apparently haven't spoken in eight years. now I don't know if that's I'm inclined to think it's on the part of Tim Walls that the reason that their relationship is like that and I say that because my family's very left a part of my family is very very left and I've been disowned I mean I don't they don't have anything to do with me because of that nothing to do with me and that wasn't anything I initiated that's just how it

happened not just me my kids and everything so my experience has always been it's the lefty members of your family that do this? It's always been the left. It's always the lefties. That has been my lived experience has been always the lefty family. And are they or are they not more mean about it than what his brother's doing? His brother's like, look, here's the info I have. Yeah, but I'm not saying that one excuses the other.

They haven't spoken eight years, but the last eight years, we have a public record of what Tim Walts has done. So there is, for me, I'd be curious as a voter to find out who knew him, prior to eight years ago, and I'd be able to piece it together with what I know of his eight-year history. I mean, you can look at the guy. Do you need his brother going? That's not the kind of type of character you want in the White House.

You don't need his brother saying that. You can look at Tim Walls. Do you see the way he jerked his kid's arm on stage? Dude, if I was the mom, I'd have turned around popped him. I'd have popped him right in the face for that. You got to be kidding me, jerking my kid's arm on stage like that. I mean, imagine when he's not on stage what he does. Well, that's my first thought.

my first thought was what is he like privately if that's what he just did on a stage in front of thousands upon thousands of people. I just, you can look at him and you know that's not the type of person that you want making decisions about stuff in the White House. But what I dislike about this is because I feel like it feeds the mainstreaming of family division over politics. And I cannot stand that. I don't like it when I see the Trump's, you know, bagging on Donald Trump. her face, Mary Trump. Who the hell is she again? She's like some chick.

Who is she? I don't care. I don't really want an answer to Michael. I'm really not asking because I'm genuinely interested. A cousin. I don't know. She's some broad. But her or like the Kennedys, the Hyannis Port Hillbillies up there that, you know,

they decided to jump all over RFK Jr. I just don't like it. I don't like it. I've been the recipient of being treated like that. And I don't like it. And I, I. I am reluctant to be like that in my own life, and I cannot stand to see it play out like that,

because it feeds this almost like this expectation anymore in society that you're supposed to be politics first and family second. And if you cannot make your family come first and then politics second, you are morally deficient as a human. I can't stand it. But I will say that I do agree. I don't think what the brother said is anything like probably what Tim Walso said. But I don't know.

I just, it just rubs me the wrong way. Like I saw this thing. So I've known Megan McCain for a long time. And she's a friend of mine. And we don't agree on everything. And I don't care. I just, I've never demanded total fealty and idea or thought. I can't stand that either.

Because then you're just surrounded by sheep. But what her brother came out and said that he was voting for Kamala Harris. and her husband, who's also a friend of mine who I've known for years from the federal has been Dominic, it's like, you know, well, family doesn't always agree on stuff, and that's true. And strangers shouldn't be demanding that you cut ties from a member of your family because you disagree politically.

That kind of tribalism is what got us into this position in the first place with the left, because the left does think like this. I mean, it's gotten so tribal with them that now, even if you are all on the left, if you disagree to some varying degree, like if you agree for the most part on an issue, but there's some varying degree that you maybe don't see eye to eye, you are excommunicado from the left.

Like, well, we want to kill babies up to the moment of birth. But if you're like, well, I only want to, you know, kill babies. Maybe let's stop at six months, maybe. Oh, no, you're excommunicado. You're out. You want to kill women. I mean, that's what they say. That's the kind of stuff that they do.

So I just don't want to feed that. It's just like the mainstreaming of that expectation. We got more on the way. We've got Florida man still yet to come. And then coming up later on in our third hour, we're going to speak with Missouri AG Andrew Bailey on some of the developments in those cases he's been on.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man.

I am trying to figure out what I wanted to start with because there's a million. Oh, let's see here. This, let's start with this guy. Monroe County. There's a lot of stuff coming on Monroe County. A Florida man's attempt to spice up his neighborhood watch. Already sounds bad. Lanz him in Monroe County Jail. So Big Pine Key, Florida, 66-year-old Daniel James Lynch, he decided to redefine the idea of what a neighborhood watch is and does, and he decided to enter a neighbor's property repeatedly in a state of quote-unquote undress.

N-E-K-K-I-D. Monroe County Sheriff's Office received a call from a bemused resident who said that the man entered her property on multiple. occasions in his birthday suit and I don't want to read that part. That's bad. So she said she had, she said she had a camera that she wished she didn't have. She provided police with footage as evidence. And so he admitted to it. He admitted to his own natural activities and he was arrested in charge with burglary, indecent exposure, harassment. Yeah, that's not how you do the neighborhood watch. I'm just going to say that's not one that you do. do. Let's see here. Okay, this Florida woman was arrested after leaving her son alone in the

apartment while she went and got cosmetic surgery. I don't even understand what's wrong with people. Her child is three years old. This Florida woman, this is coming from the mirror. Florida woman, Jessica Rentaria, 25, was arrested in charge with child neglect. Her three-year-old was wandering around the apartment complex, just by himself all alone, unsupervised. She left him alone for hours. What did she do for hours? She's 25 years old. So she was, he was found by a police officer, thankfully.

Police body camera footage shows the moment officers found him. And there's video footage from their body cam photos of it. And it was about, the police were called it 415. He was on his own for over six hours. And it was funny because at one point, one of the officers goes, Hello, by any chance, are you missing a kid? That's when he was asking some of the people in the apartment complex. They found her.

She's from Delano, Volusia County at the surgery center. She's released it from jail on $1,000 bond. Like, what did she get? What did she go do? Why did you, you're 25 and you have a three-year-old that you left? What priorities, lady? Stick with us. We've got more to come.

What did the president mean when he said, Israeli Prime Minister of Benjamin Menio wasn't doing enough to reach up?

hostage and ceasefire deal. So here's what I'll say. He was asked a question by your colleague, a direct question, and he answered it. What I will say, I think more broadly, which is important to note, and the President said this in his statement over the weekend, is that make no mistake, make no mistake about it, Hamas leaders are going to pay for these crimes.

And he and his team, for sure, will keep working around the clock to get this hostage deal done. Anybody believe this? Does anyone actually believe that this administration is going to make come out? No, they're not because you already had, you already had Kamala Harris that flubbed her attempt to have a serious response. And she didn't make it happen. I just don't think anyone has faith in this administration to do anything like that, really. I mean, I mean, good heavens.

Welcome back to the program. We're at the top of this third. hour. I, I, there's, there's this idea that we're still even thinking that there's going to be some kind of discussion for a ceasefire is asinine or that there should be that, that Israel is somehow responsible for beginning any kind of compromise when they've been doing the compromising since 2000 and before 2005. I mean, they, how many tax dollars? did Hamas

spend American tax dollars British tax dollars Canadian tax dollars given to it to build its own nation after they won elections starting from 2005

they won elections in 2006 they were going to win them again before October 7th and they did nothing with except by bombs munitions, rockets, all kinds of stuff. They haven't done anything.

They could have made Gaza, and I've said this a million times, it's right there. Seaside. You could have had an amazing, an amazing place right there on the Mediterranean. It could have been beautiful. And instead, they've made it a hellhole, and they pretend that it's, they pretend that it's great, but it's a hellhole. and they built terrorist bunkers beneath hospitals and schools and everything else. How much more compromising is everyone else supposed to do to make Hamas stop being murderers? You're not going to want, you can't, a compromise requires two people.

And Israel's done enough compromising. Hamas hasn't done any. They have never been expected to do. nor ask to compromise ever. There was a ceasefire in place, October 6th. And before that, the one after they violated that, every single ceasefire, they've always violated it every single time. It's this argument is always that it is Israel that's the uncompromising party. The argument is always that it's Netanyahu, who is the uncompromising leader.

It's always everyone else is uncompromising. And boo-hoo, poor Hamas, that has received billions of dollars. of all of our tax, all of our tax dollars. They received free land from Israel. They received greenhouses and infrastructure, schools and hospitals. They even received still welfare from Israel, even after all of this happened.

And Israel would treat Ghazan residents. And then they turned around and they elected Hamas and they ran what could have been a very promising state into the ground. Their choice, they willed it, they chose it, and they were going to choose it again. So the compromising, the era of compromise has long since passed. This isn't compromise. What they're talking about is appeasement. What they're talking about is capitulation. What they're talking about is surrender. They just don't want to say that word, but that's what it is. There's no more. Turn it all to ash. I'm done with it.

that's what Hamas chose and that's what that's that's what Hamas chose and the people who support Hamas chose that so she's already Kamala Harris Joe Biden they've already been tested on this and they failed miserably they failed miserably on this no no expectation to think that that's going to change we have also we're watching all of the latest with this school shooting that took place in Georgia. Borough County was Appalachie School in Winder, Georgia, about 25 miles west of Athens. Police held up a short press conference just a little bit ago. The next one isn't going to be until 4 Eastern 3 Central, at which time we're expecting more information. But the suspect apparently was taken into custody. There are reports of fatalities and injuries, but so far, nothing confirmed

from law enforcement. The only numbers that are that are, that we're getting is from local press. But there's, and we know that the hospitals have taken in some of those who have been injured, but there isn't a number for injured or a number of fatalities that law enforcement is willing to confirm at this time. I would imagine they'll do so at the next press conference, but not at this time. But that's all we know from that, from that situation. They had one victim who was by, uh, it was evacuated out by helicopter,

but we don't know anything else at this time. They, they had the school on lockdown. Then it went to soft lockdown as they were waiting for the parents to assemble so that they could get their kids. They made sure that their premises were secured, et cetera.

Uh, but that's the latest coming out of Georgia. And like I said, they're not going to have any other developments on that until 4 Eastern 3 Central. And that's when the sheriff's office there in Borough County said they were going to have their next press availability. Uh,

and take some questions and hopefully give, hopefully give some more information on that. A few other things to touch on because we've been talking about big government. I need to share this with you from the Washington Times. We were just talking about tax dollars going to Hamas and Gaza.

You're not going to like this one any better. Taxpayers are footing the bill for Alejandro Mayoricus's generosity. Government employees have been given $2.6 billion, taxpayer dollars, an extra vacation time. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has given so much extra time off to department employees that one of his agencies actually had to create an internal system to help employees track it.

It's the U.S. citizenship and immigration services. They said their leave tracking tool is supposed to make it easier for supervisors to see who has time off, etc. But they said employees reportedly referred to. Mayorakis is the quote patron saint of administrative leave and the additional time it rewards their Homeland Security Department employees, etc. The immigration employees. So when you went so the open borders the government workers that are apparently facilitating the more open borders, you're paying more in tax dollars for them so that they can have time off. How much time, how much pay time off of this is great to know.

right ahead of a shutdown, isn't it? I just want them to have time off and not paid. I just end it completely. I would like for them to have permanent time off forever. That would be great, wouldn't it? The department, I can't believe this. Did you know? Kane, how many employees do you think DHS has?

Oh, man, I would imagine it's Department of Homeland Security, so I would say maybe like $8,000 or $10,000? What, more? Go out. $15,000? Go up. 20,000? Way up.

What? 50,000? Way up. No. Way up. This is like bowls of total. 100,000? Up.

No. 150,000? Oh, way up. 500,000? 250,000 employees. God, why? Why? They're doing a horrible job then.

All of them. 250, more than, more than 250,000 employees. So people, that take from our tax base as opposed to contribute to it. Correct. Yes, correct. I am amazed.

And the estimate, they said, if the employee averages to a GS10 level, because the pay can vary, they think that the hourly raid just above $50, that works into $900 million and potential paid time off last year, $500 million this year, and they got $2.6 billion an extra paid time off during his tenure. And he's handed out

paid time off apparently at a rate far beyond that of his predecessors. While he also complains about a lack of resources. Okay. It doesn't make any sense. So that's, wow. The Interior Department received an extra two hours.

The EPA Commerce federal deposit insurance corporation state department they got an extra three hours nasa got an extra four uh yeah so all of this nice nice government time off i mean you're you're creating a hole in your budget you're it's actually costing more money and in the meantime the economy is circling the drain right now this is just it's crazy i have this headline home builders are facing a credit crunch banks are cutting lending by 10 What do you think giving everybody $25,000 extra to buy a house is going to do with this? This is from Financial Times.

What do you think that that's going to do? They said housing starts are on track to fall over 16% just this year, according to government data. Home builders facing their biggest credit crunch in more than a decade. Banks are cutting lending for residential construction by over 10%. And U.S. banks had about $92 billion of loans. outstanding to fund the construction of dwellings for one to four families. Oh, but Kamala Harris wants to build millions and more homes with magical money and give everybody on top of it an additional $25,000.

But only if you're here illegally or you have not been able to buy a home before. Look, the market is responding to the lack of demand because housing prices are already too high, including the actual interest rates. The reason that people that were priced out is because, because of the interest rates. Now, if Kamel gives this $25,000 to people, all it's going to do is falsely keep the prices of homes high instead of what should happen,

which the market would correct itself, and then either prices of homes have to come down or the interest rate itself or both. But instead, she wants to just throw money that isn't hers out into the ether. Yeah, yeah. No, no, that's just, it's really unbelievable. unbelievable.

Biggest year-on-year drop more than a decade. This is bank-wrecked data. This is from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Yeah, so it's going to get worse. It's going to get a lot worse. Although some of her plans, and we've talked about it, I don't think, are actually workable, not entirely. We also have, I've got a couple of other things to make sure that we get. The World Darts Federation is demanding that women compete against men.

Wait. They're demanding that women compete against women. men who are pretending to be women. Sorry, I had to make sure I got it right. It's darts. I just, why does, why do men want to pretend to be women in darts of all places? Darts. It's a bar game. Most people do it drunk. What am I missing? I don't know. That's for real. No clue. No clue, guys. That's, I don't know. And coming up, we got Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who's going to be on. The Supreme Court just last week, he's been fighting with the courts about the tuition and many other issues as well. We're going to talk to him and get a quick update. Burn a gun is another option to have in your arsenal for self-defense because I always carry wherever I go. I also don't have the luxury because of the nature of my job. to go to places that allow me to carry all the time.

And there are times that, you know, I would love to be able to say, no, I'm just not going to go there. But again, I can't because not everybody has that luxury. I've got friends who live in Chicago. I have friends who live in Washington. I have friends who live in New York. And it is the exact same thing with them. So there's another option to consider that it's a non-fire-on fire-on

that doesn't care about gun-free zone signs, for which there is no background check, no waiting period. And it's the burner gun. The burn a gun provides you an option when the state tries to make it where you have done. It's great for restricted areas, and it can be very practical in that way. It's B.Y.R. N-A. And what it is, the most popular model, by the way, is the Burna SD. What it is is it's a defensive option that allows you to shoot chemical irritant projectiles

that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. Now, stun guns have maybe one or two shots. The Burna SD gives you five-round capacity. It's their best-selling self-defense option.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. This is crazy. So, I mean, it's in Aspen, so that's going to happen. A kid was having a snack in his backyard, and a black bear came up behind him, and it's all on camera. The local news there said that they, you know, obviously people are used to bears in this area.

It's not like a big deal. But the kid and his parents were spending the weekend with family in Aspen. He was eating a bag of kettle corn, and the bear was sniffing the air, approached the kid, who was sitting on a yard chair near a fire pit. He came within a foot of his head. At that moment, the mom said she didn't know what to do. she said I was frozen. No one was hurt. They made a lot of noises to scare the bear away. And that's, you know, I mean, you got to be, you just got to be aware, right?

You know, I'm just saying, you got to be aware of stuff. Oh, boy. A missing emu from the Great Emu War. No, K-I-R-O Channel 7. The, I cannot. This is the story where they say a family, I guess the family had a missing emu. and in this town it went missing. They said the family's missing in emu.

They're trying to get people to help to find the emu. K-I-R-O-Channel 7. They said that apparently it got out of its enclosure. Aren't they mean? Can't emos be mean? Yeah. I mean, they said that they apparently two of them got out. One of them they found by a retainer.

I don't really care about this other than there's a crazy emu running around. You had an errant ostrich yesterday, didn't we? An errant hostage and now a missing emu. This is like if the flock of seagulls split into different solo projects, it would be called this. This is what I'm saying. Brisbane is in Australia. An air traffic controller was found asleep on the job after a series of night shifts. That seems like that's not a good thing to have happened to your air traffic controller.

The controller was found literally sleeping by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. They were experiencing fatigue. They don't identify it was a chicker dude, but they said that there were no incidents. You know, they, thankfully, you know, nothing happened as a result of this, but they said that the dude was lying across two chairs not moving and not undertaking activities to maintain mental awareness. You got to keep yourself awake. A Wells Fargo employee in Arizona was found dead at their desk four days after clocking in. Four days. They were dead in Arizona.

Arizona where they've had 100 degree temperatures. Stinky. This is so bad. It's a sad story. Four days, though. Golly. Andrew Bailey next. The Dana Show podcast.

Dana Lash here with you, your lovable crumudgeon. We are at the bottom of this third hour. And of course, you can listen all around the country, Channel 347, Direct TV as well.

And of course, make sure you find us YouTube, Facebook, and Substack, Chapter and Verse, where you can subscribe and get all kinds of goodies. One of those, one of those things, we always put up our interviews that we have with individuals, especially those out there fighting to make a difference.

And one of those, one of my favorite guests I have on from my home state where all my family still lives, and they are all big Andrew Bailey fans, the whole fam up there in Missouri. That's Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who joins us via Skype. first off, I have to compliment your cardio because I know you've been running around from meeting to meeting. In addition to that, you've also been filing suit, kicking butt, taking names, and stopping the waste of taxpayer dollars on, I can't, how many times is this now?

The Biden Harris student loan scheme. This is like the third time they've tried this. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, General. This is why you're here and you know what you know and I know what I don't know. I thought the first time the Supreme Court said to stop it, they were supposed to stop it. And that didn't happen. Yeah, you're absolutely right. This is a constitutional crisis. And shame on the mainstream media for just ignoring this story altogether. And I wonder about this.

I wonder if the Biden-Harris administration hasn't created other catastrophes in our country so that they can hide the fact that they're doing things like this, like illegally, unconstitutionally violating court orders to redistribute almost to have trillion dollars in debt owed to repay these student loans. And you're right. the Supreme Court spoke explicitly in June of 2023 when they handed down the first decision saying no, if Congress intends for this to happen, Congress has the power of the purse, Congress has to pass a bill.

What bill got passed? Did I miss something? No bill has been passed. Congress has twice rejected such a bill. And yet President Biden went back to the well. Kamala Harris went back to the well because they're so desperate to buy votes in a key demographic that they're losing. And it's not working.

They're not reclaiming that ground. The Supreme Court just recently told them no on plan B. and now they have a secret plan C. And plan C is even worse, not only because they're willfully defying past precedent of the United States Supreme Court and the fact that they're violating separation of powers because Congress has not passed a bill authorizing them to do this,

but now they're hiding it. And we uncovered it through a process and have filed those documents under steel with the United States District Court to demonstrate that they're avoiding having to notify the public about this unconstitutional illegal third attempt to buy votes. We're not going to let Joe Biden come on. Paula Harris saddle working American families with Ivy League debt.

They are so desperate to do this. We're talking with Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and a trillion over a trillion dollars for half a trillion, I think you said, dollars that regular average everyday Americans would be paying for because from what I, from what we read, most of the debt that they're talking about addressing with this, this is grad school debt. This is, you know, this is like a middle and upper class student debt where you're, you're getting, you know, trade workers. and middle and lower class socioeconomic status individuals

paying off the debt that these people chose to incur. That doesn't make any sense. And I mean, I can see why they want to hide it because that doesn't go with their populist rhetoric that they're trying to use to go after blue collar. Yeah, that's right. They're trying to buy off elitists who are not interested in four more years of Joe Biden under Kamala Harris

the failed borders are. And look, for people like me, this is personal. I paid for my schooling through service in the United States Army, went to law school on the post-9-11 GI Bill. I have friends that didn't come home from Iraq that did the same thing. And what are you going to tell their widows, their spouses about their sacrifice? What are you going to tell the working families who didn't go to college? Because they knew they couldn't afford it.

So they went into the workforce. I mean, again, this is absolutely absurd. It's bad enough that it's a poor policy position. But the fact that they're doing it illegally and unconstitutionally and the fact that the Supreme Court has twice told them no, raises this to the level of a constitutional crisis. The president, as the head of the executive branch of government is supposed to enforce the law, not make the law. He's got to follow the law that are laws as passed by Congress and interpreted by the highest court in the land. Imagine if a Republican was willfully defying the United States Supreme Court, the apoplectic response from the left. And yet here, radio silence.

Yeah, exactly. You've also joined 22 states and going after this forced usage of preferred pronouns in schools. And this is something that's affecting, like, going as so young as elementary school students, where, Teachers are now trying to rewrite the language, certain teachers, not all, and force this, you know, whatever arbitrary pronoun usage on these young kids. And in many instances, without parental consent, parental involvement, talk to us about this because I can't even believe that this can be for, when I was growing up in school, my mom had to sign a consent form just to be able to sing a Christmas song for our choir concert. But this is okay. Yeah, that's right. They're going to drive any kind of Christmas music out.

of the public domain and yet brainwash our children into believing that there's your, your gender is fluid or you get to decide your gender that, you know, with male parts, you can somehow be a female. I think there's a little bit more to it than that. And how dare anyone sexualize our children by injecting this into elementary schools? This is a parental rights issue for me as a parent of four small children from ages 11 all the way down to two. Again, this is very personal. I'm invested in my children's education and ensuring that they're educated in a way that's consistent with my values. And here in the state of Missouri, we don't cope. with the government. The government has no role in this process. And this is absolutely absurd. Again,

bad policy, also unconstitutional. The government can't force you to speak against your will. It violates the First Amendment. And so this is a clear-cut suit. And I'm confident of our ultimate success on the merits of this one. It's always wild to me that if it has to do with a book or if it has to do with language, people always accuse, you know, you or parents who simply want to be involved or consent to what their kids are being taught of us. Oh, they're trying to ban stuff. since when is parental consent considered banning something? Yeah, that's right. What the other side is trying to ban is a parent's ability to parent that child consistent

with the parents' values. And again, that's a parental rights issue. That's exactly it. I mean, it is, I mean, it's really, it's the war against parents. It just, which is something that's kind of always been, but this, it's taken a much different, a much different face for sure. So we've got the, because you've been on offense against the school, the student loans, and then also against the pronouns, what have I missed?

Because every single week, your office is, you know, beating the tar out of somebody and going after it on behalf of Missouri taxpayers and also establishing precedents that help us who are outside of Missouri as well. Yeah, look, I tell folks down in Texas or Oklahoma or other states, blue states, there's some, you know, hardcore conservatives in blue states. And I would tell folks like that, look, I don't, I may not, you may not be a constituent, but I still can represent you. and we do that by fighting for basic timeless principles like parental rights and the freedoms

guaranteed to aspire to founding fathers in the United States Constitution. And those are fights worth making. And that's why these lawsuits are so important. Very important. Well, we're grateful that you're doing it and grateful. I know my family loves you in Missouri. They're very happy that you're the AG. They never want to let you go from Missouri. And we're very happy that you're doing what you're doing as well. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, always good to see you, my friend. Take care. And I have to tell everybody, he ate some ice cream and he ran probably like five. miles to get to get to to make this hit i'm not i mean the cardio is off the charts need need the cardio after the ice cream for the world thank you for having me on good to see you take care thank you general

we got more to come as well because we got coming up we're going to have uh get into some uh today in stupidity i also want to make sure that we're updating on the latest with this uh shooting that took place in georgia because we're getting some numbers now uh i know that there's going to be a press conference that law enforcement are going to give. I think it's four Eastern, three central was when they're going to give it. That was according to the Borough County Sheriff's Office. They spoke a little over an hour ago. And they, at the time, were not confirming the number of injured, nor were they confirming any fatalities. But what I have seen from some of the press is that the reports are four fatalities at this point. The number of injured is still kind of fluctuating. So we're still

waiting to kind of, we're waiting to kind of get some more information on that. But the fatalities reportedly are four. And of course, no one, I mean, they're not taking any time at all whatsoever. No hesitation to politicize some of this stuff from what we're seeing from, whether it's the administration, the White House had already put out, they already put out an immediate narrative about firearms. I want to make a quick point here. First off, school, have been gun-free zones for 30-plus years. Federal law. That's already covered. That's number one. Number two, of the three school districts in Georgia that allow for armed teachers on campus, this district is not one of them. So I'm not quite sure what any of these people are talking about

in terms of their proposals would have stopped what? We don't even know anything really yet, officially about the perpetrator, about the suspect in this. There was one report that we saw early on that said that the suspect looked, the individual that was taken into custody looked like they were a student. We don't know about the age. We don't know if that's, you know, confirmed. Obviously, this is something we would like to wait and get more information about. And that's what we're looking for, that's what we're looking at at this 3 p.m. Central Time press conference from the sheriff's office. But KJP, we're saying, well, we have to ban assault weapons and we have to ban, you know, high capacity, et cetera. I don't know what that would do. We don't know anything about a single,

nothing about this yet, nothing about this yet, but they're immediately taking no time at all in politicizing it. And I'm going to have something more about this on substack as well. coming up. But we'll have, and I'll have the latest information, including what we get from the press conference on that as well in this write-up. So we have a lot yet still. Subscribe to the Dana Show podcast. Because who says you can't make fun of people while staying informed on your own personal time? Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm not able to go out of the crowds before. They don't see the service on limit. No, why not?

Because it stays two dangerous. No one gets to go out. So that's Joe Biden saying, yeah, the Secret Service, they just don't let me go out anymore. They just, I'm not able to go on crowds anymore. Secret Service doesn't let me, probably because you'll fall down. They used to let him all the time. Then he started falling off the bikes, falling up the stairs, falling down the stairs, falling down ramps, falling down on flat surfaces. He'll even fall in up. He'll just wander sometimes.

Yeah, just wander away, wander off. I mean, just come on, man. Come on. So I don't know. I'm just not, I don't think that I, I think there's another reason why they don't let him. I'm just saying go out. Just there's, there's probably another reason there. Goodness. He, you don't hear much from him, really. You know that. You don't really hear anything about Joe Biden anymore. You don't hear anything about, um, you don't hear anything about, um, Any of, I mean, it's, they've made it to where it's entirely, he is just a memory now. He is out of the door. That's it. That is it.

Goodness. I just, oh, all right. So this, make sure you sign up over at Substack, chapter and verse, because this is where I'm going to have any updates that we have on the Georgia story that we've been following and bringing that, bringing any developments that we get. you know, only going with stuff that's been confirmed by law enforcement. I know they're having another, another press conference at 3 p.m. Eastern. This is, can we play the soundbite from Town Hall, this Corrine Jean-Pierre? Because immediately, the White House comes out and immediately

decides to politicize all of this. Are we able to get this? I think we have it. Do we have this? Yeah, I think we have it. One, you need to play? If we can. Okay. This is KJP. To do something, to do something, we need universal background checks. We need ban to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. Require safe storage of firearms.

Invest in violence prevention programs and pass a national red flag law. None of this is going to work. Enough is enough. And I cannot say this. Enough, which is enough is enough. We cannot allow this to happen in our communities. So we don't know anything about the perpetrator. We don't know anything about his age officially, motive or even what he used. What we do know is that schools for 30 plus years have been federal gun-free zones. That's a federal law. That's number one. Number two, what we also know is that of the

three schools in Georgia where teachers can carry, where they are allowed to carry this school district, is not one of them. So what additional law would have been? made what happened here illegaler. What additional law? I mean, I just think that the smart person waits for a moment before they immediately start spitting politics about it and waxing radical ideology about what needs to be done over a situation where we don't even have all the facts at hand yet. We don't even know everything that there is to know possibly about making a informed response. So I'm not, I, we know nothing yet. We know nothing yet. And how sad that this is their first inclination. This is their every single time, the first reaction is for

them to try to immediately spin it and make it to where it's something that they can exploit for a political gain. I've seen it up close. I have seen it in numerous states. I have seen it after every tragedy before the families are even notified. And then when the families don't go along with it, I've watched them as they're attacked and they're smeared and their names are drugged through the mud and they ran out of town. I know of families personally that have become very dear friends of mine where they've even had some of these activists try to pressure them into going along with some of these campaigns to where the families felt they need to lawyer up to protect themselves.

That's a fact. And some of these activists have targeted families because I feel like they were immigrant families and they thought that because they were immigrant families that they could pressure them a little bit more. One day that story will get told. Katie bar the door for the people whose names are dropped in it. So when we get that information, I'll have it over at Substack and I'll update it there as we get it in. But until that time, nothing's confirmed. And we're praying for the people in Winder, Georgia. We're that school district there, 1900 students in that district, 25 miles west of Athens. We're saying prayers for them. We're. We're saying prayers for them. We

now are at today's stupidity, Kane. What do we have? Oh, we have a surplus. An actual surplus of stupidity. It could be about how the media and the Democrats are trying to convince everybody. It's Russia again. Coming up for the 2024 elections, it's Russia again, guys. But instead, Juan, this is cut 23. This is how the media describes what Kamala's really trying to do. Listen. But the vice president wants to go even further. And she's going to offer these financial incentives. And she's going to push cutting red tape. There's often too many burdensome regulations. for small businesses who are trying to get off the ground. And so she's going to be talking about this as part of her economic vision to move the country forward,

away from the Trump plans of trickle-down. What do you mean away from Trump plans? The last four years have been Biden Harris. Like, why? It's just stupid. They act like now, they act like it's just Biden. They act like she wasn't there. Right.

Like she was a ghost. Right. She was hiding. I mean, she really wasn't there. If we're going to be honest about it all. I mean, really, what did she do? Yeah. Folks, that does it for a program today.
