Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Well, this man's got some priorities, that's for sure. A
Florida man steals an ambulance. Gotta say it like my
Southern Family ambulance ambulance, finishes beer before being arrested, Say troopers,
he's got some priorities, like I said. Michael Esquilin, forty three,
faces multiple charges out of Tampa stole an ambulance on
Saturday and quote finished drinking a beer in full view
(00:37):
of troopers before he was arrested. Yeah, he looks the type.
How is this dude forty three? What crodinals look so old? Look,
that's why you should be lawbiding because crime ages you.
It ages you. Oh so they said that he was
fleeing to elude at high speed. It was his fourth DUI.
(01:00):
His license was revoked. He got these are all charges
grand theft of emergency medical equipment, burglar have authorized, Oh
my gosh, there's so many. Resisting an officer without violence,
et cetera. He immediately was arrested. He's in the pokey.
So that's where he's off off the streets and oh
my gosh, Florida man is sentenced for setting an employer's
(01:22):
semi truck on fire at an Omaha airport. Oh my goodness,
So that's a pretty big thing. He twenty seven years old,
Kevin Catie, was sentenced to five years in prison three
year supervisor release for malicious use of explosive materials. Is
there any other So he disconnected his semi trucks track
(01:42):
and advice so his employer couldn't track him, and then
he parked it in an airfield and yeah, he'd legit,
blew it up. Firefighters had to come extinguish it. The
folks who helped bring you our illustrious program, it's our
friends over at Caltech in Florida, based in Florida, great
Florida based company, the PR fifty seven. It's their new
PR fifty seven rotary barrel pistol chambered in five to
(02:03):
seven and this is like one of the well, it's
a new, one of the new ones for them. It's
the first of its kind. I mean, this thing is
so incredibly innovative. Msrp's only three ninety nine, so it's
super affordable. It's the lightest and this is why you
need it. It is the lightest five to seven that's
on the market, forty percent lighter than the next five
to seven. It is a very unique top loading design
(02:25):
that replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips for a slimmer
carry profile, and you have twenty plus one capacity. It
is actually perfect for everyday carry for everyone. You can't
say that about every five to seven. You can say
that about the PR fifty seven rotary barrel pistol from
Caltech chambered in five seven and again three ninety nine.
Super super affordable, and it is. It's incredibly practical, really,
(02:47):
I mean it's great handling. Mine just came in. I
haven't made it to my FFL yet. It literally just arrived,
so I have to go get it and then go
to the range. You know, it's the same place, So
it's great. Visit cal Tech Weapons dot com to learn more.
K E L T e C Weapons dot com. Tell
them Dana sent you. What's your response to Senator Fetterman.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
He's not the ones to talk about anything. I mean,
this is a guy that doesn't seemingly want to own
a suit, own a suit. I'm not really sure, but
I don't show up in hoodies when I'm going on
the floor, and so the idea that you would say
that we could not have a moment in which an
influencer asked us to do this. Now, I'll be perfectly
honest with you and tell.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
You that when she as she doesn't show up in
hoodies on the floor, and he doesn't show up with
size eighteen lashes on his eyes on the floor where
it looks like he went and robbed a spider of
their legs. Welcome back to the show. Top of the
second hour. Really nobody needs above a fourteen. Thank you ladies.
(03:55):
No guys are like what it's like difference tools, right,
Welcome back to the show. Dania lash at your Top
of the second hour. Democrats are at each other's throats.
I'm here for it. I love watching democrats fight. Put
that stuff up on World Star. There are like so
many account let's just like have them body each other
in a Twitter account. That's all we need. They're all mad,
(04:17):
they're mad, and they're now lashing out. We're at the
what level would this be like of stages of grief?
I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
They keep moving those goalposts too.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, they yeah, they do. I don't know what stage
or grief we're at, but all I know is that
Democrats are angry at the world and they're now going
after each other. So I wanted to highlight just some
of this because it's so adorable, so excited about it.
(04:49):
So their party has hit new polling, They got new
polling out. The party has hit a new low, a
new low in fat And this is from NBC, who
loved them. They said, quote, unlike in Trump's first term,
Democratic voters just say, Democrat voters say two to one
(05:12):
that they want party leaders to fight rather than compromise,
even at the risk of not getting things done. They
also noted that only twenty seven percent of registered Democrat
voters have a positive view of their own party. It
is the lowest positive rating NBCs recorded since nineteen ninety.
Only seven percent seven percent of registered Democrat voters say
(05:36):
they have a positive view of their party. Wow. Wow.
That made one polster say with numbers like these, the
Democrat party is not just in need of a rebrand,
it needs to be rebooted now. They attribute these lower
poll numbers to fed up Democrats, according to data they
(06:00):
after they watched their party lose to Trump in twenty
twenty four. Now they're saying that they're mad if some
of them they feel like their party is not holding
the line. Some of them they feel like they're more
interested in fighting with Trump than delivering on what they
voted for. And then some say they just want to fight.
So it is. It's pretty wild. In fact, Pete A.
(06:26):
Aguilar out of California said, quote, when Trump wakes up
in the morning and says you're doing the right things,
Senate Democrats, we don't feel that that's the right place
to be. That's what we said. That was this direct quote. Oh,
I love it, I love it. Now contrast this, Contrast
this with this pulling highest approval ever that he's ever had.
(06:46):
Trump more Americans say the US is on the right
track than in any time in the past twenty years. Also,
an NBC poll, Oh, look at that same NBC pool
or another one, same outlet, they said that he's still no.
The only problem here and I'm going to come back
to this in a minute, deals with the economy. But
they said that according to this survey, they said that
(07:09):
people are supporting his trade policy forty one percent. That oppose.
They a lot of key, they said fifty six percent
on the border positive, fifty six percent positive government cuts,
forty seven percent, only twenty nine were opposed. Even like
on Ukraine and NATO. He has some pretty good He's
(07:30):
got pretty good polling. The only thing, and NBC notes
that this is the first time that he's lost a
majority on this issue in an NBC poll is the economy.
I have warned you guys over and over again. This
is what it's going to come down to. This is
what Democrats are going to exploit to take back because
(07:51):
they and they could. I want everyone to know Democrats
could absolutely easily really take the House in midterms and
the Senate. They want to do it through the economy.
I know you're like, wait a minute, how wait the
same party that was lined out, Yes, because voters are fickle.
It's not something that they don't look at the whole
(08:13):
body of work and judge it. It always comes down to
what have you done for me lately? Fifty six percent
disapprove of Trump's handling on the economy. That's the first
time they noted he's lost a majority on this issue.
He has not won over a majority of Americans on this.
Yet this is why I keep hammering the point home
that they need to be out front and center messaging
on tariffs, messaging on tax cuts. And I again I
(08:39):
really think that the sequencing was wrong on this. I
think you should have done tax cuts first, and then
if you were going to do tariffs, then you do tariffs.
But you have to have consumers need a shot in
the arm. They're overburdened, they're overworked, they're overtaxed. You can
tariffs without a reduction of government spending, and tax cuts
will be in additional tax That's just the fact of
(09:03):
the matter. Just like guys have schlongs. That is how
this works, right. We don't trans the language of the
economy to suit one side or over the other. So
that's the realism of it. So now if they're going
to get tax cuts done, since they didn't do it
in the proper order, they need to be messaging on
that hardcore and Trump needs to be beating the heads,
(09:23):
the brains out of the heads politically speaking of House
members and Senate members to get this stuff done. Otherwise
midterms are gone. You can say hello to President Newsom
in twenty eight. That's not an idle threat. That's just prognostication,
that's all that is. So the good news is that
(09:44):
he's got really good approval on all of these other issues.
But the bad news is that he has not won
over at least according to this poll. And it's a
pretty decent poll. The economy. Well, So, Lorraine says that
the stages are denial, anger, bargaining depression, and acceptance. Democrats
are at anger. So they're at st too. Great, Great,
we still got bargaining depression to go through before they
(10:05):
just accept it. How long will that take? I'm wondering,
just wondering. So this is important to again hit Democrats
or Republicans rather desperately, desperately, desperately need to get on
the messaging. Now with all this, you've had Schumer who
(10:29):
has just been taking he's been throttled by his fellow
Democrats because when they passed that CR to fund government,
and I don't know, I'm going to interrupt myself. I
have no idea why Democrats were so mad about voting
for the CR because it's literally theirs. There are no changes,
(10:51):
there are no cuts. What they did is they moved
around certain quantities of cash to make it look like
there was a modest cup, but there has not been
a cut at all whatsoever. Cuts aren't permanent. There's not
a single damn Doge cut. In fact, all of the
cuts that does recommended, they're still funding them un till September.
All the stuff with USAID, you know, the headlines that
you see, No, it's all still getting funded until September.
(11:13):
Nothing has changed. So I don't know why Democrats were
screaming and crying because they still got their whole Democrat
framework all the way up until September, you know, and
Republicans were saying, well, we got to wait until we
have you know, we have to have sixty votes in
the Senate to make sure this happens. That's why we
can't do this now. So they're going to wait till
(11:34):
September when they still don't have sixty votes. That was
only ever an excuse. I hope you guys realize that
you got played by the GOP establishment with us. Just
as long as we all recognize what happened, we can
move on. I you know, I wasn't screaming into the
wind for nothing. So Schumer, though, he was like, yeah,
I'm gonna go ahead, and back this bill. And Democrats
are mad. They weren't mad when they literally voted for
(11:56):
it back in what fall? Remember no, actually December. It
was like in December when this one passed. And remember
in December, this was after the election. Everyone said, no,
we can't do this bill. We can't do the CR
or have a budget bill. We got to do a CR.
We're going to wait until Congress, the new Congress is
seed it. That was the excuse in December. Do you
(12:17):
remember September? The excuse before that was we can't do
anything before the election. We got to wait. There's always
an excuse, always always. Spring is here and it's the

Speaker 2 (13:24):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
A man was set on fire in Time Times Square,
surprisingly leaving him horrifically brand Now he was apparently a dude.
Torch to guy in Time Square early Sunday. It was
a horrific attack. It was an use. He used accelerant
off of a food cart. Golly, the guy, Oh looks horrible.
He looks so oh my god. I didn't want to
(13:51):
sit the photo. The search for the attacker continues. He
apparently knew the victim grabs something containing flammable liquid off
in nearby car used it to torch the forty five
year old man just before four am. I mean, the
guy was standing on the sidewalk, shirt was huddled in
a blue bank blanket. I mean, he is burning pretty bad,
(14:13):
and they had him in an ambulance. The footage also
showed cops talking to a female companion and the victim.
But they're searching for this person who did. It's just
horrible New York City. We're gonna have to do New
York City. Man. A guy was caught in a viral
video calmly eating a raw dead rat on a busy
(14:33):
sidewalk in broad daylight. Guys, zombie movies begin this way.
This is literally how it happens. He's on a bronx
sidewalk and he picks it up and just starts gnawing
on it. It is one of the nets. I can't, dude,
(14:58):
I can't even I'm done story because it's so I
mean the video someone was recording it and they zoomed
in and it's horrible. I got to move because I'm
going to get so secreating the story. I'm not even
kidding you. Apparently walking backwards could be exercised that you need.
They're saying that there's a benefit. I don't know. I
mean maybe for balance, but there's a million things that
you can do for that. Right, we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
The issuing preemptive pardons to these people. But was he
aware of the of his signature being used on every
single parton That's a question you should ask the bib
it Why.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Any evidence on that that he wasn't aware of it.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You're a reporter, you should find out. Sean. Yeah, that's
I actually like that. That's true. That's what you do.
Oh wait, you I mean if you started your career
rewriting aggregate stories for Daily call and I like Daily Caller,
but they I mean, there's an aggregation aspect of digital journalism,
then maybe investigative journalism, you know, isn't your thing if
you just get like stuff from producers. I don't know.
(15:51):
There's a lot of people in the news like that.
They just like get handed packets by producers and they
don't actually going to investigate. That has to change. Welcome
back to the program, Danie Lash you top of this
third hour on Saint Patti's Day and got a lot
of stuff to discuss chats at Rumble Channel through forty
seven direct if you don't forget the podcast, which is
the archive. So the question of well, you're a reporter,
(16:16):
that's what reporters do. Reporters are just like, we don't know,
we don't know anything. They've forgotten how to report, they've
forgotten how to investigate they or did they They just
didn't want to if it because if it's not there,
then it doesn't exist. If they didn't, if they didn't
investigate it and get evidence of it, then there's nothing
for them to report on. Then Democrats didn't do anything bad.
(16:37):
That's kind of like my thinking on it, right, that's
sort of why wouldn't you be interested in that? I mean,
the story here is the autopen story. You guys are
aware of this, right, the whole auto pen I've got
a pin the I don't know. Now they're investigating because
they there was the question of is Biden of sound mind,
(16:58):
even like with the pardons, is of sound mind to
do this? They found that he used an auto pin
on like a good number of things, right, how many
of the pardons did he use an autopin on like
a lot a lot? Trump had posted and said that
they are hereby declared void vacant. This is capslock, void, vacant,
(17:21):
and of no further force or effect. And apparently so
he's saying that he didn't. Trump says that that Biden
didn't know anything about them. I don't know if a
president can revoke a pardon once it's been issued. This
has to do with Article two, Section two of the Constitution,
(17:43):
and I don't know. I don't know if there's like
legal precedent on that. It just says, this just says
he shall power to grant reprieves or pardons for offenses
against the United States, except in cases of impeachment. They
have the issue of Bush revoking his own pardon over
a guy. I think Red State had a story on
(18:04):
Robert Tucy a conviction making false statements to hud Bush
revoked that. But that's the same president who issued that
pardon who revoked it. So I don't know the legal
precedent of that. But well, Rain's done. She's looked at
some of this and says that a lot of the
signatures don't look matchy Matchye, it is kind of weird.
(18:26):
He did sign the pardon for Hunter that was that
was an auto penned. But I don't know. The signatures
are kind of weird looking, you know. I mean, there's
a lot of like the Apparently some of the pardons
were signed on January nineteenth, twenty twenty five. The signers
(18:46):
certified that they were signed in d C. Except Biden
wasn't in DC on January nineteen, twenty twenty five. I
did they say they were certified DC. One reporter said
(19:07):
that that day, that's when Biden was in South Carolina.
He was at the Royal Missionary Baptist Church in North
Charleston with Cliburn, and he was doing that as it
was a thank you visit to cliburne because remember Cliburn
made Joe Biden Cliburn delivered South Carolina. We've talked about
that quite a bit. So I don't know. I I
(19:32):
just I don't know about the precedent for that. And
then it does bring up questions did he even know?
Did he even I mean, if they just had an
autopen and they're just you know, Willy Nilling signing signing everything,
I'm just I'm just curious as to how that works.
So but then the media being told, well you know
(19:53):
you're a reporter. Why don't you find this stuff out?
I don't know. I don't thin think that. I think
the question is whether or not Biden was aware of it.
Now I'm of the mind I think you need hard
evidence of those first that he was. And I do
think you have to have hard evidence.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
How do you get hard evidence that he was?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I don't know. That's the thing. I don't know. I
can't but you can't say because a lot of things
use autopen like mortgage. I mean, there's like important. I mean,
what are you going to say? What are you going
to say? Do it?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
The location matters, if you say, if you're on a
legal document, whether it's a mortgage or just a simplest
sales contract, the location matters. You can actually legally get
out of a contract if it's proven you weren't in
the area that the document says you were in when
at the time it was signed.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I agree, just the way it is, I agree. I'm
curious about this.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
And there's no way to prove whether or not he
was or wasn't. I mean, there's a way to prove
he was aware, but there's no way to prove he
wasn't aware.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
There's a video that I just saw, actually, i'm looking
at it now, where they somebody all of his signatures
and they're morphing it to his actual real signature. I
could honestly watch that video for quite It's fascinating.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I'm like, all the autopinin ones are exactly the same,
and then the one for Hunter is obviously his signature
in real life.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Interesting.

this is a guy that doesn't seemingly want to own
a suit, own a suit. I'm not really sure, but
I don't show up in hoodies when I'm going on
the floor, and so the idea that you would say
that we could not have a moment in which an
influencer asked us to do this. Now, I'll be perfectly
honest with you and tell.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
You that when she as she doesn't show up in
hoodies on the floor, and he doesn't show up with
size eighteen lashes on his eyes on the floor where
it looks like he went and robbed a spider of
their legs. Welcome back to the show. Top of the
second hour. Really nobody needs above a fourteen. Thank you ladies.
(03:55):
No guys are like what it's like difference tools, right,
Welcome back to the show. Dania lash at your Top
of the second hour. Democrats are at each other's throats.
I'm here for it. I love watching democrats fight. Put
that stuff up on World Star. There are like so
many account let's just like have them body each other
in a Twitter account. That's all we need. They're all mad,
(04:17):
they're mad, and they're now lashing out. We're at the
what level would this be like of stages of grief?
I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
They keep moving those goalposts too.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, they yeah, they do. I don't know what stage
or grief we're at, but all I know is that
Democrats are angry at the world and they're now going
after each other. So I wanted to highlight just some
of this because it's so adorable, so excited about it.
(04:49):
So their party has hit new polling, They got new
polling out. The party has hit a new low, a
new low in fat And this is from NBC, who
loved them. They said, quote, unlike in Trump's first term,
Democratic voters just say, Democrat voters say two to one
(05:12):
that they want party leaders to fight rather than compromise,
even at the risk of not getting things done. They
also noted that only twenty seven percent of registered Democrat
voters have a positive view of their own party. It
is the lowest positive rating NBCs recorded since nineteen ninety.
Only seven percent seven percent of registered Democrat voters say
(05:36):
they have a positive view of their party. Wow. Wow.
That made one polster say with numbers like these, the
Democrat party is not just in need of a rebrand,
it needs to be rebooted now. They attribute these lower
poll numbers to fed up Democrats, according to data they
(06:00):
after they watched their party lose to Trump in twenty
twenty four. Now they're saying that they're mad if some
of them they feel like their party is not holding
the line. Some of them they feel like they're more
interested in fighting with Trump than delivering on what they
voted for. And then some say they just want to fight.
So it is. It's pretty wild. In fact, Pete A.
(06:26):
Aguilar out of California said, quote, when Trump wakes up
in the morning and says you're doing the right things,
Senate Democrats, we don't feel that that's the right place
to be. That's what we said. That was this direct quote. Oh,
I love it, I love it. Now contrast this, Contrast
this with this pulling highest approval ever that he's ever had.
(06:46):
Trump more Americans say the US is on the right
track than in any time in the past twenty years. Also,
an NBC poll, Oh, look at that same NBC pool
or another one, same outlet, they said that he's still no.
The only problem here and I'm going to come back
to this in a minute, deals with the economy. But
they said that according to this survey, they said that
(07:09):
people are supporting his trade policy forty one percent. That oppose.
They a lot of key, they said fifty six percent
on the border positive, fifty six percent positive government cuts,
forty seven percent, only twenty nine were opposed. Even like
on Ukraine and NATO. He has some pretty good He's
(07:30):
got pretty good polling. The only thing, and NBC notes
that this is the first time that he's lost a
majority on this issue in an NBC poll is the economy.
I have warned you guys over and over again. This
is what it's going to come down to. This is
what Democrats are going to exploit to take back because
(07:51):
they and they could. I want everyone to know Democrats
could absolutely easily really take the House in midterms and
the Senate. They want to do it through the economy.
I know you're like, wait a minute, how wait the
same party that was lined out, Yes, because voters are fickle.
It's not something that they don't look at the whole
(08:13):
body of work and judge it. It always comes down to
what have you done for me lately? Fifty six percent
disapprove of Trump's handling on the economy. That's the first
time they noted he's lost a majority on this issue.
He has not won over a majority of Americans on this.
Yet this is why I keep hammering the point home
that they need to be out front and center messaging
on tariffs, messaging on tax cuts. And I again I
(08:39):
really think that the sequencing was wrong on this. I
think you should have done tax cuts first, and then
if you were going to do tariffs, then you do tariffs.
But you have to have consumers need a shot in
the arm. They're overburdened, they're overworked, they're overtaxed. You can
tariffs without a reduction of government spending, and tax cuts
will be in additional tax That's just the fact of
(09:03):
the matter. Just like guys have schlongs. That is how
this works, right. We don't trans the language of the
economy to suit one side or over the other. So
that's the realism of it. So now if they're going
to get tax cuts done, since they didn't do it
in the proper order, they need to be messaging on
that hardcore and Trump needs to be beating the heads,
(09:23):
the brains out of the heads politically speaking of House
members and Senate members to get this stuff done. Otherwise
midterms are gone. You can say hello to President Newsom
in twenty eight. That's not an idle threat. That's just prognostication,
that's all that is. So the good news is that
(09:44):
he's got really good approval on all of these other issues.
But the bad news is that he has not won
over at least according to this poll. And it's a
pretty decent poll. The economy. Well, So, Lorraine says that
the stages are denial, anger, bargaining depression, and acceptance. Democrats
are at anger. So they're at st too. Great, Great,
we still got bargaining depression to go through before they
(10:05):
just accept it. How long will that take? I'm wondering,
just wondering. So this is important to again hit Democrats
or Republicans rather desperately, desperately, desperately need to get on
the messaging. Now with all this, you've had Schumer who
(10:29):
has just been taking he's been throttled by his fellow
Democrats because when they passed that CR to fund government,
and I don't know, I'm going to interrupt myself. I
have no idea why Democrats were so mad about voting
for the CR because it's literally theirs. There are no changes,
(10:51):
there are no cuts. What they did is they moved
around certain quantities of cash to make it look like
there was a modest cup, but there has not been
a cut at all whatsoever. Cuts aren't permanent. There's not
a single damn Doge cut. In fact, all of the
cuts that does recommended, they're still funding them un till September.
All the stuff with USAID, you know, the headlines that
you see, No, it's all still getting funded until September.
(11:13):
Nothing has changed. So I don't know why Democrats were
screaming and crying because they still got their whole Democrat
framework all the way up until September, you know, and
Republicans were saying, well, we got to wait until we
have you know, we have to have sixty votes in
the Senate to make sure this happens. That's why we
can't do this now. So they're going to wait till
(11:34):
September when they still don't have sixty votes. That was
only ever an excuse. I hope you guys realize that
you got played by the GOP establishment with us. Just
as long as we all recognize what happened, we can
move on. I you know, I wasn't screaming into the
wind for nothing. So Schumer, though, he was like, yeah,
I'm gonna go ahead, and back this bill. And Democrats
are mad. They weren't mad when they literally voted for
(11:56):
it back in what fall? Remember no, actually December. It
was like in December when this one passed. And remember
in December, this was after the election. Everyone said, no,
we can't do this bill. We can't do the CR
or have a budget bill. We got to do a CR.
We're going to wait until Congress, the new Congress is
seed it. That was the excuse in December. Do you
(12:17):
remember September? The excuse before that was we can't do
anything before the election. We got to wait. There's always
an excuse, always always. Spring is here and it's the

Speaker 2 (13:24):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
A man was set on fire in Time Times Square,
surprisingly leaving him horrifically brand Now he was apparently a dude.
Torch to guy in Time Square early Sunday. It was
a horrific attack. It was an use. He used accelerant
off of a food cart. Golly, the guy, Oh looks horrible.
He looks so oh my god. I didn't want to
(13:51):
sit the photo. The search for the attacker continues. He
apparently knew the victim grabs something containing flammable liquid off
in nearby car used it to torch the forty five
year old man just before four am. I mean, the
guy was standing on the sidewalk, shirt was huddled in
a blue bank blanket. I mean, he is burning pretty bad,
(14:13):
and they had him in an ambulance. The footage also
showed cops talking to a female companion and the victim.
But they're searching for this person who did. It's just
horrible New York City. We're gonna have to do New
York City. Man. A guy was caught in a viral
video calmly eating a raw dead rat on a busy
(14:33):
sidewalk in broad daylight. Guys, zombie movies begin this way.
This is literally how it happens. He's on a bronx
sidewalk and he picks it up and just starts gnawing
on it. It is one of the nets. I can't, dude,
(14:58):
I can't even I'm done story because it's so I
mean the video someone was recording it and they zoomed
in and it's horrible. I got to move because I'm
going to get so secreating the story. I'm not even
kidding you. Apparently walking backwards could be exercised that you need.
They're saying that there's a benefit. I don't know. I
mean maybe for balance, but there's a million things that
you can do for that. Right, we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
The issuing preemptive pardons to these people. But was he
aware of the of his signature being used on every
single parton That's a question you should ask the bib
it Why.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Any evidence on that that he wasn't aware of it.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You're a reporter, you should find out. Sean. Yeah, that's
I actually like that. That's true. That's what you do.
Oh wait, you I mean if you started your career
rewriting aggregate stories for Daily call and I like Daily Caller,
but they I mean, there's an aggregation aspect of digital journalism,
then maybe investigative journalism, you know, isn't your thing if
you just get like stuff from producers. I don't know.
(15:51):
There's a lot of people in the news like that.
They just like get handed packets by producers and they
don't actually going to investigate. That has to change. Welcome
back to the program, Danie Lash you top of this
third hour on Saint Patti's Day and got a lot
of stuff to discuss chats at Rumble Channel through forty
seven direct if you don't forget the podcast, which is
the archive. So the question of well, you're a reporter,
(16:16):
that's what reporters do. Reporters are just like, we don't know,
we don't know anything. They've forgotten how to report, they've
forgotten how to investigate they or did they They just
didn't want to if it because if it's not there,
then it doesn't exist. If they didn't, if they didn't
investigate it and get evidence of it, then there's nothing
for them to report on. Then Democrats didn't do anything bad.
(16:37):
That's kind of like my thinking on it, right, that's
sort of why wouldn't you be interested in that? I mean,
the story here is the autopen story. You guys are
aware of this, right, the whole auto pen I've got
a pin the I don't know. Now they're investigating because
they there was the question of is Biden of sound mind,
(16:58):
even like with the pardons, is of sound mind to
do this? They found that he used an auto pin
on like a good number of things, right, how many
of the pardons did he use an autopin on like
a lot a lot? Trump had posted and said that
they are hereby declared void vacant. This is capslock, void, vacant,
(17:21):
and of no further force or effect. And apparently so
he's saying that he didn't. Trump says that that Biden
didn't know anything about them. I don't know if a
president can revoke a pardon once it's been issued. This
has to do with Article two, Section two of the Constitution,
(17:43):
and I don't know. I don't know if there's like
legal precedent on that. It just says, this just says
he shall power to grant reprieves or pardons for offenses
against the United States, except in cases of impeachment. They
have the issue of Bush revoking his own pardon over
a guy. I think Red State had a story on
(18:04):
Robert Tucy a conviction making false statements to hud Bush
revoked that. But that's the same president who issued that
pardon who revoked it. So I don't know the legal
precedent of that. But well, Rain's done. She's looked at
some of this and says that a lot of the
signatures don't look matchy Matchye, it is kind of weird.
(18:26):
He did sign the pardon for Hunter that was that
was an auto penned. But I don't know. The signatures
are kind of weird looking, you know. I mean, there's
a lot of like the Apparently some of the pardons
were signed on January nineteenth, twenty twenty five. The signers
(18:46):
certified that they were signed in d C. Except Biden
wasn't in DC on January nineteen, twenty twenty five. I
did they say they were certified DC. One reporter said
(19:07):
that that day, that's when Biden was in South Carolina.
He was at the Royal Missionary Baptist Church in North
Charleston with Cliburn, and he was doing that as it
was a thank you visit to cliburne because remember Cliburn
made Joe Biden Cliburn delivered South Carolina. We've talked about
that quite a bit. So I don't know. I I
(19:32):
just I don't know about the precedent for that. And
then it does bring up questions did he even know?
Did he even I mean, if they just had an
autopen and they're just you know, Willy Nilling signing signing everything,
I'm just I'm just curious as to how that works.
So but then the media being told, well you know
(19:53):
you're a reporter. Why don't you find this stuff out?
I don't know. I don't thin think that. I think
the question is whether or not Biden was aware of it.
Now I'm of the mind I think you need hard
evidence of those first that he was. And I do
think you have to have hard evidence.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
How do you get hard evidence that he was?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I don't know. That's the thing. I don't know. I
can't but you can't say because a lot of things
use autopen like mortgage. I mean, there's like important. I mean,
what are you going to say? What are you going
to say? Do it?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
The location matters, if you say, if you're on a
legal document, whether it's a mortgage or just a simplest
sales contract, the location matters. You can actually legally get
out of a contract if it's proven you weren't in
the area that the document says you were in when
at the time it was signed.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I agree, just the way it is, I agree. I'm
curious about this.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
And there's no way to prove whether or not he
was or wasn't. I mean, there's a way to prove
he was aware, but there's no way to prove he
wasn't aware.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
There's a video that I just saw, actually, i'm looking
at it now, where they somebody all of his signatures
and they're morphing it to his actual real signature. I
could honestly watch that video for quite It's fascinating.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I'm like, all the autopinin ones are exactly the same,
and then the one for Hunter is obviously his signature
in real life.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Interesting.
