Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Celtech.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his lafe mission to make bad decisions.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's time for Florida.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Man, all right. So this was just reported in This Morning.
Speaker 5 (00:19):
A Coral Springs, Florida man is facing domestic violence charges
after he hid his father during an argument that began
when the father asked the son to remove the lady
of ill repute that he had brought home a prostitute.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Lady of the night came, that's right, a hooker, yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
According to Coral Springs police, officers responded to a family
home where the victim told his son that he had
spent the day drinking with a woman he described as
a prostitute. Was she a prostitutor? Was she just an
unpaid she did it for free?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Like a skank. I mean, there's the difference is money
in case you're wondering. So when he asked the woman
to leave, she complied, but then the son became enraged,
shouting threats, telling his daddy was going to beat as
they had double snakes, and then they came to fisticuffs
and nine he called nine one one. The son hit
him in the lip. He has just described himself as
(01:18):
visibly shaken, and or the police did, and the victim's
wife and daughter corroborated, et cetera, And so now the
son was arrested. He posted two thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
That's sad.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
He sounds like he's got some problems the sun, like
he didn't get beaten enough when he was a kid.
Let's see, this is such a good dog. Dogs are
just the best people. I just you know, if you're like,
would you rather spend your day with a very enjoyable
person or a dog? I'd be like a dog. So
this was in Okaloosa County. A dog was deemed a
hero because he alerted a deputy to his owner, a
(01:51):
grandmother who had fallen on a sidewalk. A man called
nine one one frantic after his wife had not returned
home for a more dog walk. Body camera footage shows
the man telling the deputy that responded that his wife
has normally only gone ten to fifteen minutes, but she
even gone over an hour. Footage then cuts to the
deputy driving before hearing her say that's the dog. And
they find the dog and they ask the dog, where's
your mom?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Go find us? Find where your mom is.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
And then the dog led them do the woman who
was lying on the sidewalk, And the woman asked the deputy,
the dog would brought you over, and he wouldn't leave.
He kept coming back to her. He wouldn't leave her alone.
He ran up to the patrol car and led them
to the woman. And they call him e Or. The
dog's name is e Or, and that dog is the
best boy. I hope he gets tons of treats. I
shouldn't say that out loud, because if the TV's on
(02:34):
our dog, Wick will jail break the I'm not like
Hassan Piker. I'm not going to keep I'm not you know,
a piece of scum wrapped in meat. Who is going
to keep my dog on a little square for four
hours while I rail incessantly Nepo baby style in my
compound and then zap it with a shot collar.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
No, no, no, my dog, Well he didn't do that.
He didn't, he didn't.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
He can't stand here. Came wants them to be a
studio dog. You don't know what you're asking. An alligator
walks into a bar in Florida. For real, it's Florida.
What did you expect so an alligator legit in Stuart, Florida.
It was a local tiki bar in Stuart, Florida, and
they got a special friend today. All the people at
(03:18):
the bar got a little friend.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
It was a gator.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
He walked into Harlow's hideout like he owned the place
and they and he didn't. He you know, very dramatically,
and they called officers in Florida Fish and Wildlife. They
arrived on the scene. That gator was taken into custody.
He was very compliant, without incident, and no injuries were reported.
And they say that the gator was relocated to a
(03:44):
quote more suitable venue where the only cocktails are in
the swamp and the sun never sets on happy hour
end quote.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
But I don't know. That's such a dam joke.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
If I would have seen a gator walk and they
have photos of me, he's he's the little guy. He's
not a huge gator. You can pick him up and
carry him like a baby if you wanted to. I'm
not saying I would, you know, but just saying, but
I would if I see that in the bar, I'm
not going to be scared. I'm going to be free, pet, free,
pet Now, I'm not dumb enough to be like a
yellowstone and walk up to a moose or do anything
(04:18):
done like that. But if I see you know, if
you can eat it, you can get it. You know
what I'm saying, Like, if it's eatable, then it's gettable,
and so I would be my pet. If you're looking

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Do you think the President deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Well, I mean, if this sticks, I think the whole
point of having a Nobel piece prizes for ending wars
and per boning piece, and now I'm going to make
a direct appeal to the President.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I mean that's I completely agree with that.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Of all the things that people get nominated for when
they get the Nobel Peace Prize, I mean consider this
is a pretty significant thing.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. You can
listen coast to coast terrestrially.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
You can also watch the digital stream of the radio
program Channel three forty seven Direct TV, also at rumble x, Facebook,
everywhere on the Webernuts. Joining me now, my good friend
Dave Rubin, host of the Ruben Report. He joins us
from his super swanky set via video. Always good to
see you, Dave. This is a good thing. I mean,
I mean, think about it, like the birds are singing,
(06:27):
We're Green with John Fetterman. You know, it's like, I
don't know, like rainbows and stars and kittens and sunshine,
and it's just this is something good.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
What are Democrats going to bitch about?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I kid you not.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
There is a bird that magically appeared in my kid's
nursery about an hour ago that's still flying around their room.
The window wasn't even an open in the room. We're
not even sure how it got there. Yeah, there is
a lot of good stuff happening right now. Yes, Donald
Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for this, regardless of
whether this is actual peace, like everybody's gonna love each other,
(07:02):
or it's just that this two year disaster is.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Coming to a close.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
The hostages will come out, the Israeli troops will withdraw,
the map will likely look a little different.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I'm not Pollyannish.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
I don't think we're gonna just magically have peace tomorrow
and everyone's gonna be crossing borders and loving everybody. But
Donald Trump has painted a vision for the world that
is different than basically everyone has done in about seventy
five years in that region, and we already have evidence
that it can work. When you think about it differently
(07:37):
because we have the Abraham Accords, we already have evidence
it can work differently if you think about it differently,
because he was able to move the embassy to Jerusalem
and all hell didn't break loose.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
So I think there's every reason for optimism right now.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
And Dana, as I'm sure you've pointed out already on
your show this morning, I mean the fact that Bernie Sanders,
Rashida Talib, Chuck Schumer, the laundry list of left who
have been screaming about genocide for two years, which of
course this was not a genocide, it was an active war.
They have not tweeted about it tells you all you
need to know.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
They all they have wanted to do here was destroy Israel.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
It had nothing to do with saving the Palestinians. The
Palestinians could have all been saved on October eighth if
they would have just released the hostages.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
So there's all goodness here.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
There's a lot of good signs, and I'm very bullish
on maybe this can heal some of the wounds that
we've been seeing on the right, because the oh we're
going to destroy Israel crowd is looking pretty silly, right.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Now I know, maybe that Katari money you'll still keep
coming in the CCP slash Katari money.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
We'll see how that goes. Talking with our friend Dave.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Rubin, you made a great point on X just a
little bit earlier this morning, and I wanted to touch
on this because you were you were quote tweeting about
this strategy that Israel implemented and the partnership, the strategy
that came from the partnership of the United States and Israel,
talking about Lebanon and then in Yemen. The point that
(09:01):
you made was winning the actual war is still more
important than winning the Instagram war, because there were questions
of well, is Israel going to be able to be
successful if they lose the PR war? But what does
it matter? I mean, can you even win a PR
war if you're Israel? I mean, sometimes you know it
seems like a rhetorical question. Clearly they won the real one, right.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Well, look, the real war is that they've been fighting
a seven front war and their enemies are all basically destroyed.
Ask Hasbala, how's it going, Ask Iran, how's it going?
Ask the who these how's it going? Ask Kamas how's
it going? The West Bank of Judae and Samaria is
the proper turn for the West Bank. I mean, that's
largely been quiet, so their enemies have basically realized, boy,
(09:45):
we just can't take these guys out. And the irony,
of course, is if they would just get over it,
which I do think perhaps because of Trump is happening
right now. They're going to find an unbelievable partner in
Israel that will help them literally make the desert just
like they did in Israel. You want drip irrigation, you
want desalinization, just like Jordan, which now imports most of
(10:06):
it's water from Israel. Like, just get on board that
the Jews are gonna have this little place the size
of New Jersey. You guys still have all the oil, Like,
get over it, and there is a chance for prosperity.
So again I'm not just like over the top, Oh
my god, this is the greatest thing ever. But it
is a massive, massive movement that ends a seemingly intractable
(10:29):
problem for now and then we see what happens on
the other side. But nobody will look even the Katari's
who You're right, they've dumped at a ton of money
into our you know, into our influencer side and Instagram
and TikTok and all that stuff. You know, they got
hit by the rocket from Israel about three weeks ago
going after the Hamas leaders, which didn't quite work out,
but I think they were suddenly shook. They were suddenly like, boy,
(10:50):
we're not even that safe. So I do think some
of that Katari money might be might be drying up.
And by the way, even Al Jazeera now has fired
a bunch of their most crazed anti Israel people because
Trump is leaning on these guys.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
This is the true genius of Trump.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
And I mean for all of that.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
You made a good point too with Rashida to Leib
and these others who haven't said anything about this because
I was told reliably, We're told this in twenty sixteen
and again in twenty twenty four that Trump is going
to get us in the Middle East.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
We're going to kick us off into World War three
any day now. And so we're all just waiting, where's
the World War three at? Where's this at?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
We thought we were going to be fighting with Iran.
That hasn't happened. And even what's crazier is that this
rehabilitation of Syria and their leadership, just because it's advantageous
to us, and it kind of keeps the peace in
the area because in order to control brutes, you need
a brute and that's been working out incredibly well. He
hasn't gotten enough credit for that either. And regardless of
(11:47):
whether or not people love him or hate him, I
think that that needs to be recognized because that's this
has been sound foreign policy and I want to see
more of it.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Your thoughts, Yeah, well, it's peace through strength. I mean,
it's not rocket science, right, you show people. Look, somebody's
going to lead the world one way or another. And
if it ain't us at this point, it basically is China.
So if you believe that Western values are good, if
you believe the freedom is good, that doesn't mean we
have to bomb all these countries into living like us.
But it does mean what Trump said when he went
(12:17):
to Saudi Arabia about six months ago, he basically was like, look, guys,
we're not going to tell you exactly how to live,
but there are certain preconditions, not much, but certain conditions
you're gonna have to accept if you want to enjoy
the success of America, if you want to be part
of our economy and things of that nature. And I
think that speech really was the beginning of the shift
(12:39):
here where all of these countries are starting to realize, boy,
we can go against America.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It's just not going to work out that well. I mean,
think about it. Yemen, this tiny, ridiculous country. They could
have so much.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
Success, they could write like and instead they chose, Okay,
every other day, we're going to fire four rockets at Israel.
It's like you're doing nothing but destroying your own people.
So if you get over it, you will see that
America is standing there like, hey, we'd love to partner
with you and help you. We'll build some hotels for you,
how about that?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Yeah? And you're right too.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Six months ago when he went over and was speaking
to Muhammabin Salmain, when he noted that he was going
to start removing sanctions against Syria, and Salmain stood up
and applauded because we played that clip on air, and
I thought, that's really significant. And then all of these
other you, the Amordis that stood up and began applotting.
And then when Syria pulled their air cover over Iran,
(13:30):
then you knew it was over. After that because they
were on the skies, were in Israel's and it was done,
and then you had the drones that came up. It
was I mean, it was pretty spectacular. So Dave, what
do you think China is thinking of when they're looking
at this now.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Well, I think they're realizing that America is asserting itself again.
You know it really in some sense, I think we'll
look back like twenty years from now and it was
sort of a miracle that we survived the Biden slash
Auto pen four.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Years we did not lead in the world.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
We almost destroyed our own country via you know, the
open borders, which which despite everything Trump has done on
the positive side on that, we're still going to have
to deal with the reckoning of we don't know how
many people are here and all the things.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
That that will entail.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
But I think China's realizing, boy, America's asserting itself again.
And I would say that perhaps as it pertains to Taiwan,
they're a little maybe less bullish of going in right
now because they realize, who knows what Trump is going
to do, and America does seem to have new alliances forming.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Yeah, that's I mean, this is huge we're talking with
our friend Dave Rubin. You can find him at Reuben
Report and Reuben Report Show on X as well entrepreneur author,
all these good things. So one last quick thing about this,
because the Nobel Peace Prize part of me is like
Trump needs to get it, he deserves it for this,
Give it to him. And then the more rebellious part
(14:42):
of me wants to just stick a finger in the
air and say, you know, screw you, guys. We don't
need you, we don't need your validation. So I don't
know where where do you fall at.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
This, you know, data, It's a little bit like when
one of us writes a book and if we get
on the New York Times bestseller list, right like, we
kind of know it's fraudulent, we know it's part of
an institution that hates us, and yet you get.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The call that morning. When I got the call.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Even though I was like, this is all garbage and
it's literally made up, it.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Is Oh I missed it.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Russell I sold more than Russell Brand and he got
on it and I didn't.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
So you know, right.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Right exactly, they definitely don't like you. They're probably not
thrilled with Russell but every now and again they got
to throw a bone too somebody.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
But it's sort of like that.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
So does he deserve the Nobel Peace Prize on merit?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Of course?
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Did Barack Obama deserve it? And he got it for
literally doing nothing? Of course not.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Would it be nice if he gets it? Yes? Is
it going to happen? I don't know.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
But it's like you know what, Trump just in this
case take the accolades of all of the same people
in the world and run with that.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
How about that.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I want to ask you about Katie Porter because you're
out in California.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yeah she could.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Are you scared that this crazy Karen could be your governor?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Wait? Dann it did you just say I'm in California?
I am in Florida.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
You're in Florida?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Now?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Oh my gosh, Paz pleaz.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
That was of all the things that people have said
to me over the years on air, they have offended me,
that might.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Be gonna get Dave is going to fly over here
and kick my backside, That's what's gonna Okay, never mind eyes.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
So you don't live in California.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
I don't care about your I'm kidding no, But Katie
Port because I thought you were in California for a while,
and then.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
You know, I was, I was.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
I got out, So you got out in time, thank Coven.
So you don't have to worry about this.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
You're in I don't have to worry.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Actually jealous, Yeah, no, however, look, she's she's an absolutely
terrible candidate, but that is what they have left.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
You would never talk to anyone in your staff the
way she screams at people. Well, you would never be
like in my shot, you're in my shot while you
have like all of this debris in the background in
your kitchen.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
I'm known to smack my guys around, but I would
never speak to them with that language.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah, you wouldn't shock your dog like Hassan Piker either, So.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
That I know, definitely that one. I would definitely not
do that one. I would definitely not do.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
She is she does?
Speaker 7 (16:53):
She?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Actually I keep seeing I keep seeing conflicting reports that
she is a top tier Democrat and she's one of
the top considerations. But also the only reason that she
is even in the lead, or even leading, I should say,
because it's pretty competitive, is because of name recognition. So
there's still time for her to like you know flame out.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
I just don't even know what the name recognition is.
I mean, I've watched enough videos of her between the
thing yep, you know, telling the employee to shut the
f up who was trying to help her, by the way,
or then the interview that she sat in where she
just got up because she was asked the followup question.
I mean, she has the emotional temperament of a six
year old, so she's sort of a perfect progressive. But look,
it's up to the people of California at this point,
and unfortunately, you know, about a million people have left
(17:34):
in the four years around COVID, so good people leave,
people dependent on the state's stay and they keep voting
the same way. So look, whether it's Gavin Newsome doing
what he's done for these last couple of years, or
it's just Katie Porter like, I don't sense that it
would be any great change. They had chances over the
years to go the other way, they seem to not
choose it.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Yeah, I agree. Hopefully they don't follow you to Florida
and we don't want anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
We're closed.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Yeah, just put up signs and direct them to other
states and pretend that that's Florida. Be like, no, Mississippi's
actually Florida.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Just stop there.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
No, No, people are getting eaten by alligators here every day.
It's very scary, humid, the mosquitoes. Please don't don't come, really.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Don't come.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Don't come to Florida. Dave Rubin at Reuben Report. Always
a pleasure to see you, my friend. And so I
can't believe I forgot that you would realized.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
I know you've relocated to Florida. I don't know why
that slipped my mind.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
But when you come to Texas, we'll go shoot some
stuff and get brisket.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
So well have that now we're talking there you go.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Good to see you, my friend, appreciate you. It's the
folks over Florida company Keltech, the KO seven Gen two shotgun.
You guys are very familiar with kel Tech. The KS
seven is one of the Gen two anyways, one of
the newest ones that they have. With the KO seven
Gen two, you got all kinds of upgrades. You've got
a five slot rail accessory rail Picatinny style so you
can add the grips, the lights, keep it flush and
(18:49):
sleek if you want. It's a smoother pump action, so
you got faster, cleaner cycling, enhanced durability, great for home
defense range days. Because it's a compact bullpup designs. You
got maneuverability and tight space as the impadextrist downwards shell
ejection seven plus one capacity. And you also can do
the Defender package, which changes really upposite enhances. As they
(19:10):
say in marketing, it's an enhancement. You get the Vortex
Crossfiregreen Dot, Extended butt pad, Magpool, RVG, Vertical Grip, all
kinds of stuff. MSRP By the way, for the KO
seven Gen two is just six thirty nine, so you
have all of that accessibility well within reach. It's from Keltech,
made an America family and in Florida k e Ltec
Weapons dot Com it's the KOs seven Gen two. Tell
(19:30):
them Dana send you and now.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
All of the news you would probably miss. It's time
for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
So in Kentucky, a man was charged with a terroristic
display over a Halloween decoration. Stephen Markham, he's fifty eight
years old. He was charged with terroristic threatening. The display
featured body bags labeled with the titles of local government officials.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
It didn't have anybody's name in it.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
It just had like district judge, what's the other like
they're just mayor just the titles. A local prosecutor reported
the display to the police after driving past his home
in Stanton, Kentucky. One of the Powell County Judge executive
drove past it. He was unsettled, despite the fact that
he was not named on any of them. He said
he knew him as he knew the guy for decades,
(20:19):
said he was someone who can be a good person.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
But disagree.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
I'm sorry, but I really They seized his decorations and
took it to a police station.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
He's being held on five thousand dollars bond right now.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Yeah apparently, yeah yeah yeah now in order to find uh.
And this is so, this is it. This was in
Kentucky that they did this. And what gets me is
this is a British newspaper. The reason the British newspaper
is writing about this is the examples that they give below,
all of the examples at Liverpool and Manchester and another
(20:53):
one that was in Britain. All of the other examples
they give her in Britain because you know, there are
arresting people for memes and things like that, and they're
trying to to defend themselves. The reason they ran this
in this British publication is so they can be like,
look in America, the free speech bastion of America. I
feel like this guy's got a lawsuit on his hands.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
I really do, really do. That's insane.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
NFL finds Jerry Jones two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for flipping off fans. He says that it was unintentional.
Do we believe that it was unintentional? He said he
didn't mean to do it. He said it was in
the middle of of an interaction with New York Jets.
Multiple fans recorded him interacting with them, and apparently he
held up his middle finger before pointing at someone and
waving to somebody else, and some people said he was
(21:34):
just simply trash talking. Should he have been fined? That's stupid.
I mean, it's sports, you know, smack talking is. If
you can't do it then and if it hurts your feelings. Please,
dear Huvens, stay out of sports. Please do not, because
it makes it fun. We enjoy this stuff. Good night.
We've got a whole bunch of other stuff to get
into as well, and.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
The state could lose. You're out of my shop. Gosh,
that's actually correct.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
It's not that it's electric vehicles.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
It's that Okay, it does. Okay, you also were in
my shot before that.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Stay out of my shot.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Okay, I'm gonna start again with Holy So that's Katie Porter.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
By the way, kudos to that staffer who not only
did not take that, but was like, by the way,
you're talking about EV's and you're wrong, and corrected her,
and Katie Porter's response was yeah, there's still like in
my shot.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
My gosh, these people are insane. They're insane.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Welcome back to the program, Dana lash with you. She
it was an aide who said she simply wanted to
correct something that she had said about electric vehicles. This
was published last evening by Politico and it was seven minutes,
several minutes in the conversation, so this was it from
I think this was like a July twenty twenty one,
which is why that staff wearing the face mask and
(23:02):
she was like in view a few minutes.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
She was going through some stuff.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
In the background, Porter screamed at her while yelled at her,
and then she said, well, what you're wrong what you
were saying there. You know, she's like, I just FYI
and so kudos to her, but oh my gosh, this
is And by the way, was this while she.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Was talking to Jennifer Granholme.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
So I'm curious was Jennifer Granholme like connected with her
at that point, because I'm because at that point, Jennifer
Granholme's already the Energy Secretary.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Katie Porter is not.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
You know, I don't know she was in Congress, and
I don't know why she I just can't believe she
thought she could act like that to somebody and scream
at somebody like that. That's insane, and I said I would.
First off, the shot is horrible anyway. You have your
refrigerator in the background. I mean, for crying out loud,
you can't there's not a blank wall that you could
(23:55):
situate yourself in front of or something to wear. We
don't see all the debris by your sink and everything else.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
The woman in.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
The shot was the least problematic, to say nothing of
Katie Porter's attitude. I mean, I'm looking at I'm sorry,
but I gotta get real picky about this.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
I'm looking at everything in the background and she's.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Got all of this like debris, like all stacked up
on her butcher block little island, and then I mean,
I can see your dish so I can see the
dish soap, I can see all of this stuff and
the stuff on the fridge. I just think that that's
more problematic than anything else. The staffer in the shot
is the least kane want you guys, wouldn't accept a
(24:35):
shot like that. That looks hokey to have all of
that stuff in the background.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
She's not in a corner. She done got a wall
behind her.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yeah, it's standard to keep the background as less busy
as possible so that your focus is on the content
of what's being said in the video. And obviously that
wasn't a concern of hers.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Hmmm.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
So I don't know. I think that's kind of the
staffers the least of my concerns. I'm really nosy. Can
you just bear with me for what is that in
the background?
Speaker 4 (25:09):
What does she have?
Speaker 5 (25:10):
You can tell a lot about somebody by this stuff
they have that I see dish soap? What else do
I see?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
What is this? I know it doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
And the people who are not watching the radio show
on three forty seven Direct TV or the in the
chatt Rumble watching it, or like Dana who cares what?
Speaker 4 (25:26):
But like what what is that?
Speaker 5 (25:28):
It looks like a box of just like junk that
she's got to sign on, and then all others she
looks like a hoarder. And then it's like all in
the like what in the world you don't have to
have like a better homes and garden set up?
Speaker 7 (25:40):
Right?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
I just think that that's just and for her to
have that attitude and then to yell at that staffer
Katie Porter is indicative of this.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
I don't know how to describe it.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Current level of the what what's currently happen with the
Democrat Party? Where you've got I keep telling you the
ones who are who are like fifty and younger that
are coming up have major issues. They all have major issues.
I do not recognize them as part of my generation.
(26:16):
They all have issues, all of them.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Think of it.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Uh, You've got man Donnie, Man Donnie. You've got some
of the progressives in Texas, You've got the Crockets, You've
got all of these. There's just I don't know there
they are. It's like they pulled people off of the
street and just staffed their party with them. They are
representative of like the worst inclinations of the Democrat Party.
So anyway, you have Katie Porter, she's struggling by the way,
(26:42):
she really is not having I mean, she's you know,
maybe perhaps the leading Democrat, but she's got major anger issues.
She's running for governor. As you know, she's trying to
replace Gavin Newsom. Have you noticed Gavin Newsom has really
touched her. Maybe it's just because it's a primary so far,
(27:02):
but he's not gotten involved in it. So clearly if
she was the anointed one, they would all be behind her. Already,
it's a pretty divided field. So she's going against Zabia
or Bessera and now Zaviier Besserra was ag of California
who became a HIHS under head of HHS under Biden Harris,
and now he's running for a California governor. And then
you've got that Los Angeles mayor, and then that's just
(27:24):
on the Democrat side. And then there's like I think
Steve Hilton is the Republican he's a British guy. And
then a bunch of other people no one knows. So
in California, it's the top vote getters that if they
are the top vote geters, they advanced in the November ballot,
regardless of what their party is.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
So she doesn't have a major lead.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Her big thing is that she has name recognition because
she was a congresswoman from the burbs around LA. So
that's literally the only reason I think at this point
why she's maintaining some kind of why she looks like
she's in the lead in this primary. Now, I mean,
(28:10):
these videos are really going to help with that name recognition,
but not in the way that she's hopes or her
staff would hope, because you have the CBS thing that
fell apart, and then you have this her screaming this,
and I mean and the way she handled if I
could go back to that interview that she did, the
(28:30):
CBS interview.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
That is that.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Is just first off, she didn't handle the questioning correctly
because the questioning, the question that was asked of hers,
well what do you say to the forty percent of
because they're talking about because you get Trump voters, and
the reporter had asked, well, what do you say to
the forty percent of California voters who that you need
to win this race? What do you say to that
forty percent that voted for Trump? Now, she could say, well,
(28:57):
you know, it's a one party state, so it doesn't
really matter. She can't say something like that, But there
was a way that she could have more gracefully handled it.
And if that's the toughest question that Katie Porter has
ever been asked, which I kind of think it may be,
and she just failed that spectacularly. Guys, I mean, how
are the I don't know, man, I don't know. It's
so bad. I mean, she could have said, well, it's,
(29:17):
you know, technically it's like kind of a one party state,
or well, you know that's that's you know, it's that's
a tautology.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
So technically it's a logical. But let's listen to this
real quick.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Listen to how she handed the question and how she
handled because the question is actually kind of a logical.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
So, and the question is what do you say to
the forty percent of voters who voted for Trump?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Oh, I'm happy to say that. It's the do you
need them to win part that I don't understand. I'm
happy to answer the question. That's for the questions you
haven't written and I'll answer.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
And we've also asked the other candidates do you think
you need any of those forty percent of California voters
to win? And you're saying no, you don't.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every
vote I can. And what I'm saying to you is
that well to those voters. Okay, so you I don't
want to keep doing this, I'm going to call it.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
So Katie Porter is, first off, you have to understand
democrats or reporters, even if you're Democrats, sometimes and they
don't like you, they're going to ask you a tough
question that you might not be able to answer easily.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
But she should have been.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Prepared for that, especially because this question has been asked
of other candidates. Either her staff didn't prepare her or she,
I mean, I regardless, I think even if they did,
she wouldn't have been able to handle it. All she
would have to do is say I would love to
win every voter. You know, but historically California is a
pretty one party state, so it kind of washes out
in the end. I mean that you could have said
(30:32):
something just as innocuous as that, and then she could
have monologued a little bit and commanded the interview and
taken it to a place where maybe she could have
thrown her a bone with some sort of you know,
on a different issue. But she didn't do that because
she's not talented. She's not talented, and she's not a
quick thinker. She's short tempered, and she's she's intellectually stumpy.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
She's she's just not fast.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
And that's very evident every single time I've seen her
in a back and forth.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
That's you know, it's pretty evident.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
But that's not a hard question to handle, right, That's
not a difficult question to handle at all. I mean,
I've actually I can't believe him saying this. I can't
remember what where it was. Joe Biden was doing some
sort of press avail during the campaign and the lead
up to twenty twenty, and they were talking about, not
necessarily verbatim, the Blue Wall, but they were talking about
Michigan and some of these other states and you know,
(31:23):
like you know, and going into like more rudder counties
and they're like, well, what do you know some of
these counties, you know you might lose because they're red.
What do you say to the do you need those voters?
And Biden's like, I would love to have all those voters,
And He's like, you know, and if they don't vote
for me, you know, I'm still.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Going to figure out a way to win. I mean,
he's for crying out.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Lot was barely sentient, and he was able to answer
that question better than Katie Porter. I mean, it was
basically the same question, just different variables. And it's not
even a gotcha question. I know the reporter would love
to have the sound bite where Porter or the reporter
would love to have Porter saying, well, I don't need
Trump voters to win, and that's ultimately what she was
going for. Any Democrat that's not prepared to answer that
(32:00):
question is a moron. And you can't tell me that
the staff didn't prepare her. I mean, technically, I guess
it's a possibility that they didn't. But if you're someone
who's already been in Congress and you're portraying yourself as
a quick thinking, seasoned, you know, political veteran, that's child's play.
I mean, that was actually kind of a softball considering
the level here. You're talking about the gubernatorial race, and
(32:21):
the fact that she couldn't even rise to that occasion.
You don't rise to the challenge, you fall back on
your skill set, and Katie Porter's skill set is being
a bitch, and so she fell back on that. That's
the truth of it. I mean, that's just crazy. If
I was advising her campaign, I would have quit. There's
no way in hell, there is no way the fact
that you couldn't have answered that. And I will never
(32:42):
forget because I remember that Biden and people were trying
to say, look, you know, Trump says he doesn't need Democrats,
Biden says he would love to have Republican voters, and
they tried to make a big thing out of it.
I remember when that happened, and I just it made
me think of that when watching actually the second clip
and just thinking that she has an anger issue, to
say nothing of the fact that she dumped potatoes on
(33:05):
her hot potatoes on her husband's head, which is really weird,
but okay, she it's just not She's got a lot
of She's got a lot of issues.
