Speaker 1 (00:00):
I think Nebraska has been talking about this for years.
It is a very close election. Sixty three days ago,
Chuck Schumer led a coup to overthrow Joe Biden, and
he's telling me or any other Republican what we.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Should be doing.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
If they changed the law in Nebraska, it won't be
on the phone in the middle of the night. It
will be through a democratic process, the entire federal delegation
of Nebraska House members and two senators. Won't this change
to my friends in Nebraska that one electoral vote could
be the difference between Harris being president or not. And
she's a disaster for Nebraska and the world.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I hear you're calling it a coup. Of course, Democrats
had the right to change. She's at the top.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Now they do. I mean they go it's their party.
They have the right. I guess. You know you can
go ahead and say that. Does it make people feel
better knowing that they didn't get to vote for the
person who's on the who's on the ticket, because well,
they can change. They have the right to change whatever. Yeah,
but they don't have the right to They have no
standing to sit here and say it's a party of
the people when you're disregarding. But I don't really give

(01:02):
a rats ask about that. I really don't care. I
honestly don't care. I hope they switch it again. I
hope they switch it as many times because clearly their
voters don't care. They really they don't care. Democrat voters
don't care. They are hive mind. They have to be
told who to vote for. They have to be told
what to do, they have to be told by the

(01:25):
and they'll take it from the establishment. I've never seen
people who so excitedly take so much grief from the establishment.
When do Democrats do they get tired of being kicked down,
kicked around? I'm just curious do they, because I mean,
from where I sit, and I think from where a
lot of people sit, that's what it really looks like.

(01:46):
Welcome to the show. We've got some things to get into.
It's Monday, and some of that we got. I got
some polling that we're going to have to go over
and it's not totally great. There's some bright spots to it,
but there's a real growing concern. And I know you're
not supposed to say things like this in the Republican

(02:08):
side of things. You're not supposed to talk about the
concern that people have with get out the vote efforts
that Republicans may or may not be doing, because a
lot of this get out the vote efforts by some
of the third party groups that have been contracted by
Democrats or by Republicans are only in a few states,

(02:29):
and I think that that impact is we're starting to
see a measure of that, and we have to have
a conversation about it, because you know, I kind of
would like to change that, don't you, guys? Or is
it better to not talk about it so that people
don't think you're being critical of the top of the ticket,
because I actually do have people amongst my acquaintance who
would rather not talk about it because they don't want
to be viewed as being critical at the top of

(02:51):
the ticket, and so they don't talk about any of
this stuff. They don't talk about some of the troubles
with some of this stuff in some particularly some of
these battleground states. And like I said, we're going to
get into all of that. And of course, the latest
with we got some policy we've got we're gonna get
into a whole we got a whole bunch of stuff

(03:11):
to get into Oh my gosh, and then some of
the this weird story that kind of broke over the
weekend that has to do with RFK Junior, And you
guys know, I'm not an RFK junior fan. He agreed
with us on COVID vaccines, that's awesome. He agreed with
us on one issue. That doesn't mean that I'm gonna
bend over and kisses. Ass's not gonna happen. Not going

(03:32):
to happen. And I don't understand why there are so
many people on the right that want to rush to
lionize this guy, especially when his behavior again, you know,
I mean to go along with the trend. There's a
story that came out over the weekend. I just was
rolling my eyes because whenever it involves a media elite,
I just I don't know. So as we roll into

(03:53):
it again, welcome to the program, Dana Lash with you
or at the top of this first hour on yet
another Monday, as we start the week, and the IRS, well,
it's the union that represents a number of different groups,
and one of those groups is the IRS, and they
have backed who do you think they backed if you

(04:17):
had a guess, yeah, the union that represents the irs.
Who do you think that they back Oh you said
if she said Trump, you're wrong. They did not. In fact,
they backed Kamalai Aris. The Agent union endorsed her for president.
And this was just towards the end of just that,
after we were off Era of Friday, they issued a

(04:39):
statement saying, she supports the issues that matter most, how
remembers and that of course, remember she was the deciding
vote on the what was called the Inflation Reduction Act,
and the Inflation Reduction Act, you remember what that did.

(04:59):
It It supersized, It supersized the irs, and it also
added those how many agents was it eighty eight thousand
agents that they added. Now, if you remember, Kamala Harris
was literally the deciding vote on that. As President of

(05:20):
the Senate, she at that time cast the deciding vote
for it. And so that's that's part of her legacy.
You could say, that's that's a great that's a huge
part of Kamala Harris's legacy. So just saying, you know,
just putting it out there, they it's going to be larger,
and you know, five trillion dollars more, all this that,

(05:41):
all of it, I mean, it's just pretty pretty unbelievable.
So they've they've backed her, and that's not surprising. And
they give I didn't even know that they had a
political action committee the Irs Agent Union, if I'm being honest, Yeah,
because it's like a public it's a public entity. So
if it's a public entity, then you know that's true.

(06:03):
Why is this this is my issue. You are taking
public money and you're using it to fund Democrat campaigns.
I have a little bit of an issue with that,
as I think anybody would. So I they've they've they've
spend pretty much night it's ninety seven percent. Americans for

(06:26):
Tax Reform broke down their union spending and it showed
that they give all of their funding, ninety seven percent
of it exclusively to Democrats. They said in twenty twenty two,
six hundred and thirty five thousand dollars went to Democrats,
and they give it to different Democrat politicians. The Democratic

(06:49):
Senatorial Campaign Committee they're responsible for helping senators get elected,
the Congressional Campaign Committee that are responsible for getting congressional
members elected, and all of it. I mean it's exclude lusively.
Why it's exclusively to Democrats And they're huge and they
love the big tax hikes because Tim Walls, he's gotten

(07:09):
a lot of cash from the IRS Agent Union. They
list him as one hundred percent on their IRS Agent
scorecard when he was in Congress, and he was, he's
a big supporter of tax hikes. Just keep in mind
that when Tim Walls was as governor of Minnesota, before

(07:30):
he was governor of Minnesota, as he was coming into office,
Minnesota actually had an eighteen billion dollar surplus. They were
taking some responsible steps, they were curtailing their spending, and
as a result of curtailing their spending, they didn't have
to jack up taxes on Minnesota ands. So they had

(07:51):
an eighteen billion dollar budget surplus. And guess what, after
Tim Wolfs was elected, he blew through it. How do
you blow through even in like a handful of years,
how do you blow through eighteen billion dollars. Not only
did he blow through the budget surplus, but then he

(08:11):
started taking the state into the red. He would not
stop spending. And while all of this was happening, he
encouraged and they helped pass taxes on the middle class.
So this is the stuff that he's done. He's doubled
fees on fishing boats, He's if you kayak, if you canoe,

(08:34):
if you do anything outdoors, the fees that you have
to pay in order to do any of that has
been doubled. And because he and this affects people that
make less than one hundred thousand dollars a year. You
got a John boat, you're paying a fee. He blew
through eighteen billion dollars. And what's interesting is they're talking

(08:57):
about Minnesota. Department of Natural Resources had forty percent of
Minnesota vote owners make less than one hundred thousand dollars
a year. And it was the majority of these people
that are hit with us because they're bots under seventeen feet.
He's doubled the fee, in some cases tripled the fee.
He hiked boat. I mean depends on how big. I mean,
every little thing you can think of, think of something

(09:19):
that you do, and every day he figured out a
way to charge a fee for it or double the fee,
no joke. This is the kind of stuff. And so
of course they love him. Of course they love Harris.
Harris was the deciding vote and expanded in adding eighty
eight thousand agents. Of course they love her. Now as
it relates to the Republican side, I saw her the
weekend that some of the fallout from that Mark Robinson

(09:42):
thing is continuing.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Now.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
I'm gonna tell you, I've think I've met him in
person one time, and it was in passing. I think
I was in the lobby somewhere and I think he
was there and we were introduced and he was you know,
he was nice. Don't know them that well. But now

(10:03):
the media obviously is trying to pin all of this
on Republicans everywhere. They said he apparently lost a bunch
of people Robinson did from his campaign. Now I am
hearing that more things are going to come out. But
it doesn't relate to comments that are left on pornographic forms.
It relates to financial info. That's what I have been hearing.

(10:23):
I was asking some of my friends who work in
DC and some of my friends who work in politics
in North Carolina, and that's just some I know, one
would give me any kind of specificity. It's except it
has to do with like personal financials. So I don't
know what that entails, but that's apparently something that's that's
that's apparently what's coming up. So just saying but it's

(10:43):
it's past the deadline for him to leave the race,
so they can't sub anything out if Republicans even wanted to.
But that's that's that's the latest, So we'll see what happens.
But I don't even know why they even need to
do it, because even before Mark Robinson was ten points
behind the Democrat contender, and that was even before the scandal.

(11:05):
But as you know, this isn't really so much about Robinson.
They're trying to make this the sixteen electoral votes. They're
trying to flip North Carolina away from Trump because North
Carolina was kind of a battleground state and so they're
trying to flip that away from Trump, and they're trying
to make it super competitive. There's a I see kind
of a play that Democrats are fomenting, and I don't

(11:27):
know if the Republicans that are running out the outreach
on the ground are ready for it. I don't know
what kind of outreach take out North Carolina. A friend
of mine was saying that they weren't seeing a lot
of signs in the yard. I do know one thing
I get. It almost makes me never want to donate
to a damn Republican again. You get so many techs,
how many texts, do you get on average a day, cane,
I get about sixteen or seventeen texts, solicitations, spam texx yeah,

(11:49):
from donate to this pack. And I don't donate to
political action committees for candidates. I donate directly to candidates.
I do not donate to groups because a lot of
these political action committees. I understand, you know, it's biblical.
You pay, you know, you pay people for their work.
But at the same time, there are people who don't
want to do a lot of work, and they run
these packs, and they take six figure checks and they

(12:10):
sit on their backsides and they don't do anything. And
there's more of them than you would think. And it's
some rough stuff, rough stuff. Look, I'm gonna tell you
I have no problem using lethal force at all, whatsoever
against the threat up all my life. Person safety are
the people I love. I literally just sleep better at night.
I just I'm all warm and snuggling, and it gives
me warm fuzzies. I don't care because that's a consequence

(12:31):
of being a criminal. There are times when I can't
carry because it's a private property and I got to
go there, and they don't want me to carry my gun.
It's a gun for your zone because they think magical
signs have magical properties that protect people. It's not true.
We all know that, we've seen the statistics. This is
why you need to diversify your self defense options and
consider a burnagum. Burnagun's not it's a non firearm firearm.

(12:52):
In fact, it's a way to diversify your self defense options.
The most popular models to burna SD. What it is
is it shoots chemical ear to projectiles that can disable
threats like up to fifty feet away. When you compare
it to stun guns, they got like one or two shots.
You got five rounds with the burna SD. And I

(13:15):
have a friends. I have several friends, actually four friends,
three in DC and one actually two in DC, one
that goes between Chicago and DC, and one in New York.
And they all got the burner gun. Because they their jobs,
media and law, they have to go to gun free
zones and so they carry this. You don't have to
have a background check, there's no waiting period. They ship
it right to your door. So it's a great option
to have when you need to diversify your defensive options.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
So apparently there's incidents of GPS spoofing. It used to
happen for you know, quite a bit. Now it's like
a four hundred percent increase of According to an OPS
Group report, GPS spoofing occurs when fake radio signals are
used to interfere and override it legitimate when it's a
cyber attack. And now there's a lot of discussion as

(14:12):
to whether or not foreign entities, hostile entities could use
this as a way of cyber attacks against the United States.
So have fun on your flights. Think about that the
next time you're flying. No, no, no fear, no no worries.
Let's see Cards against Humanity sues SpaceX and an allege's
invasion of land on the US Mexico border. Cards against Humanity,

(14:35):
This is okay. They've sued SpaceX saying that Musk's firm
illegally took over a plot of land on the US
Mexico border. That the party game company bought in twenty seventeen.
They were trying to stop what they said was Trump's
attempt to build the wall. I've never played this game. Now,
I've never played Cards against because it sounds stupid and

(14:55):
I've never played it. If I wanted to play a game,
I'm going to play a game like Risk or Monopoly
where I can shake everybody down or take over all
your lamp. So this is true. I didn't know that
Cards Against Humanity were a bunch of but Her progressives,
as you know that. So you're putting money in the
pocket of Marxists. But they bought this land as a
way to stop Trump's attempt to build a wall. Well,

(15:17):
I mean I would then I would just out of spite,
even though I don't believe in him in a domain
and but the left does. I would exploit that, and
then I would take it and use that to take
their lamp. Let's see here. Metabolism and diet, they say,
are linked to the root of bipolar depression. This also
seems like kind of a issue. Scientists in Edinburgh say
that they have studied the link between healthy diets and

(15:40):
the prevalence of bipolar depression and they've looked at like
hundreds of thousands of people, a pretty wide reaching study.
It was done by the Vezuki Foundation and the UK
Research and Innovation an Agency, and so they're looking at
the relationship between that and other metabolic disorders. Very interesting.

(16:01):
Emmanuel McCrone, who is He's the French Marxist with the
hot for teacher wife his remember he married his teacher.
He unveiled a new right wing French government. Remember the
Marxist over in France lost in the last election, so
they had to snap a general election delivered a hung parliament.
Now they have a new lineup, their Prime Minister, Michel Barnier.

(16:23):
It's a huge shift of the right. Even though they
did have a lot of the parliamentary seats, there were
some seats that were kept or won by the left
wing alliance. They have a lot more centrist in people
on the right, so it's a fractured parliament. It'll be
very interesting to see what they do. Trump says that
if he doesn't win in twenty twenty four, he's not
going to run again in twenty twenty eight. That will
be it. And I think that that's the right choice
to make. I mean regardless. I mean he's turned out.

(16:45):
Even if he run, we're going to have to have
another big, giant election in twenty eight because he's turned out.
But if he doesn't win, he says he's not going
to run again, and I think it would be crazy
at this point to do it. Oh, this is interesting.
This guy, that Anchorage man who was arrested for making
threats against the Supreme Court justices. He's been released. Yeah,
after twenty two crimes and hundreds of messages, he's been released,

(17:07):

Speaker 7 (18:17):
Well, you know, I went shopping in Aurora yesterday. I
would A lot of Americans need to know is Aurora
is a over four hundred thousand people. It's Colorado's third
largest city. Violent crime is down two years in a row.
Car thefts are down two years in a row. It's
a wonderful city and there all the time. It's really
a great diverse city and it's growing fast. It'll probably

(18:37):
be the number one or number two city in Colorado
over the next decade or two. So it's a great city.
It's safer than it's been and looks like any city Chicago, La,
mid size cities, Denver. Of course, there's been an issue
with gangs for decade.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Did he have a Venezuelan gang member like under his
under his chair getting ready to beat him to death?
Is that why he's saying this stuff? Because he's like, oh, yeah, Aurora, Aurora,
Colorado is a great, great city. We don't have issues
with gangs here. That's that's what somebody who had a
gun to the back of their head would say via
Venezuelan gang member. Yeah, I know you would think that's

(19:17):
the democratic governor as Jared Police, who's police, police, police,
who's saying that? I don't know. There's nothing wrong, nothing
wrong with uh. Aurora's a wonderful city. It's safer than
it's ever been, I mean, excluding the Venezuelan gang issue.
By the way, speaking of that, Aurora PDS issued warrants
for the armed men who took over one of the

(19:38):
apartment buildings. Yeah, it issued because you know they didn't exist,
but we're gonna go ahead and issue warrants for these
non existent people anyway. Right. This is CBS that reported this,
which is a very conservative. It stands for the conservative
broadcasting Society. That's what CBS stands for. I don't know
if you knew that, you would think it was corporation
for public broadcasting. But b that this conflicts with progressive narrative.

(20:04):
It's not that at all. I mean, very very conservative
over at CBOs. But they've they've they've issued warrants for
all these guys. Huh, Kane, how do you isshue a
warrant for somebody doesn't exist.

Speaker 8 (20:19):
That's weird. That my exact question.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
That's what they were saying. They were saying that none
of these people existed.

Speaker 8 (20:25):
Right, It's just all made up.

Speaker 9 (20:27):
It's yeah, you know.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
It's a conspiracy exactly, just all conspiracy. These guys don't exist.
Don't worry about it.

Speaker 8 (20:34):
It's a maga lie.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
That's right. It was a maga lie. And by the way,
my voice can be very deep right now. I'm not
sick at all. I mean, my throat's fine. I feel great.
I have a super swollen vocal courts that we cannot
get situated. So that's what I'm totally fine. People are
like I used, I swear to you, I'm not sick.
I feel great. I just it's just laryngitis. And I

(20:57):
worked all weekend so it was so now this is
the result. So we're dealing with that. So I'm not
God love you all, You're all very sweet, But I'm
not sick. I promise you I'm not sick. Because people
are now asking, like I hope Caana Wanda to get
Nobody's sick. Nobody's gonna get sick. It's just the swollen vocal.

Speaker 8 (21:12):
Course, my probiotics. I'm fine.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
It's not an issue of that. It's an issue of
I just when you you when you talk for a living.
That's and I don't have nodes because I was scoped.
I do not have nodes on my vocal cords because
then that's the next thing people are gonna so Ever,
I appreciate the kind words and prayers. Uh anyway, but
uh this, I was told that Aurora is great. So
does that mean that there's no that was all? Because
that was all a lie, right, wasn't it. It was

(21:37):
there was one big as you said, maga lie. You
have to say it like that because that's how uh
Hakeem Jeffers and everyone else says it. So now all
of the leaders are backtracking on this stuff there. They
they were saying, oh, well, you know, maybe maybe there
are some here, maybe there's some maybe there's some here.
It's uh And people and the Democrats were saying, well,

(21:59):
this isn't just an a Aurora issue, like that's a defense.
That's kind of the point though. Yeah, it's not just
an issue with Aurora, Colorado. It's literally an issue everywhere.
But that doesn't mean it's less of an issue in Aurora,
Colorado because it also is happening everywhere else. You see
how that works. One does not negate the other. They

(22:20):
had a shooting over the weekend in Aurora, Colorado involving
it rhymes with sch Venezuelan means just saying rhymes with that.
But no, they're saying, oh no, this is it doesn't
exist because Trump talked about it and Jade Vance talked
about it, So it can't exist because these guys talked

(22:41):
about it, so they will deny it. They could see
Venezuelan gangs literally protesting in the street with a banner
saying we are Venezuelan gang members and we're taking over
your city, and they would still be like, what, we
don't have a problem here. Aurora is a beautiful city,
very beautiful. There's you know, there's nothing happening here, or

(23:03):
they say because of the manner in which they were
brought over that, well, you know they're not. They didn't
come from across the border. They're not illegal immigrants like that. No,
they were brought here actually still illegally, even if it's
Biden Harris under the Temporary Protected Status program, which is
something that you know you're gonna have to that needs
you get to change law more so than issue executive orders.

(23:24):
Otherwise that's not how that works. So I don't recognize
the legality of that whole process. So yes, technically illegal
still even if you brought in giant swaths of people
from a different from one country, and that's what the TPS,
the temporary protective status does, just saying so they I
listen to this like it would say, Trump is taken

(23:44):
to use in using this as politico. Aurora in Springfield
is his favorite examples of everything he seems wrong about
the Biden administration's immigration policies, often with scary anecdotes. I'm
pretty sure the little girl that was raped and beaten
to death by an illegal immigrant who came across the
border again illegally from Venezuela. That's more than an anecdote.

(24:06):
Don't reduce the pain and suffering that Americans, by way
of being born here, by way of immigrating here legally
are going through because you're so terrified of giving Trump
a point on immigration or giving Republicans a point. That's
how they use this, God Lee, everything is so stupid.
The left use everything as a damn competition. I've never
seen people that have such an inferiority complex in my life,

(24:28):
right didn't essen I'll do a skit on this where
that it was like that one chick that always had
to make bigger than the other, always had to have
a bigger story, or she always had to be going
through the exact same thing. And that's like what this is.
It's these are You're reducing people down to nothing, real
tragedies down to nothing because they're absolutely terrified that by

(24:49):
acknowledging what's happening at the southern border that that gives
Trump a win. Now, if Democrats were smart, they would say,
well this is they would immediately just turn around and
only issue by eliminating Trump in terms of rhetoric, not
sending people out, you know, on sloped pitch roofs, and
they would say, well, here's our solution. This is a problem. Yes,

(25:10):
this is our solution for it. But they don't because
they don't want to solve it. I mean, when you
offer a solution, that kind of indicates that you're wanting
to solve it. That's why they don't have anything. That's
the way I would handle it. I wouldn't even mention him.
I'd come out and be like, yeah, this is a problem,
and this is how we're going to fix it. And
then I would just I would just completely blow up
that particular narrative with all these examples of how we're

(25:31):
going to solve it, and just completely take over the
new cycle, just just carpet bomb the news cycle. But
they don't do that because they don't want to solve it.
They just they want to crime on and whine about
it and neck like it's so mean to prevent these
poor little gang members. It's so sad coming in. They
just want some bread, coming in, just to get some bread.

(25:51):
You know, maybe your daughter's it's okay, but it's not fake.
It's not fake. And I wish that Republicans and Republicans.
They're like, oh, we're going to build a I'm sorry,
that's great. You want to build a wall. Can you
kind of elaborate a little bit more? What else are
we going to do? Can you please put this Republican
party in a SoundBite that's thirty seconds or less. Imagine

(26:11):
that you are in the elevator with the voting American
public for in thirty seconds or less, you need to
sell them on this. Imagine the independents are all in
the elevator with you. How are you selling them on it?
Don't be like we're gonna build a wall. Great, that's
been said for eight years. By the way, it hasn't
been built all the way. You can sit here tell
me about red tape all you damn want to. But
independences are going to look at it and they're gonna say, oh,

(26:33):
it didn't get done. I don't. They're not gonna care
about the red tape because that's not how this works.
They're gonna say who didn't do it? Who was there,
and who didn't do it. That's how everyone who supports
the top of the ticket has got to look at this,
and you've got to message around that people don't get it.
But you gotta imagine you're in an elevator with all
these independences. How are you going to convince them? How

(26:55):
are you give them specificity? I will say Republicans on
the issue of regration have been doing it, you know,
a lot more than than anybody else. But you need
more specificity on this. You got to have some more
on it. Now. They had I mean this it's in Denver,
it's in Colorado. What happened to Colorado? Remember they used
to have They had sixty three straight years of Republican

(27:19):
administration in Colorado, and then in two election cycles they
lost it. Two election cycles. They actually wrote a book
about it called the Blueprint. They were trying to do
it in Texas, but Texan's early onri and basically Florida
did the reverse to it. They took it and flipped it.
And so in Colorado they went blue in two elections

(27:41):
and then look what happened. This was like I don't know,
maybe twelve to fifteen years ago when all of this happened.
I was down. I was out there in Glendale, which
is a great town. They had a libertarian mayor. It
was fab This should have been a reality show. So great,
super nice, super nice area. They had a lot of
people who are very, very engaged, and that's before it

(28:02):
really got bad. I know a lot of folks who
have like moved either out of the more urban and
suburban areas, like even out to the country because you
just kind of wanted to get away from it. It's
gotten and restrictions on firearms, the taxation, to say nothing
of the open borders. But Democrats go, well, we'll just
legalized spot. They think they'll throw a weed at independent

(28:24):
voters and that'll do it. I mean it with some
of the capital l's. It may, but that's not gonna say.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Then.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Now, look at we got Venezuelan gangs coming in. Was
it weed? Worth? Got Venezuelan gangs coming in and taking
everything over? Your tax is the sky high and you
can't own half the guns that you want to. Is
it worth it? I mean, it's you got to look
at this stuff. It's just crazy. Audio somebody twenty seven.
Greg Abbot says, because Texas, the border of crossings in

(28:50):
Texas have been have decreased, but they've increased elsewhere. Listen
to what Abbot says here.

Speaker 10 (28:55):
But you mentioned something else that not enough Americans know,
and that is another reason why the crossings at the
border are down, is because Biden is flying them across
the border and then moving them to cities across the
entire United States.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
True, it is true. It's absolutely true. I mean, I
don't know. Maybe people audio some by thirty two can
get a job attending Kamala Harris's rally when they come
across the border, because apparently that's the hot new job
market Watch. Listen to this.

Speaker 11 (29:30):
She is getting paid seven hundred dollars a week to
go to wherever Kamala's campaign tells them to go to.
So it's one hundred dollars a day, seven hundred dollars
a week. And she's not even a citizen, she can't vote,
but she wants that extra money, so that's why she's
doing it.

Speaker 4 (29:47):

Like SAMs through the hour Glass. So are the days
of the United States.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Roger in Kansas on the line for Democrats. Good morning, Roger.
She's so awkward.

Speaker 9 (31:21):
Yes, I have We're my main issue. I'm going to
close my eyes and then I'm going to vote for
closed borders. I'm going to vote for less taxes. I'm
going to vote for more reasonable energy costs. And if

(31:42):
you vote, close your eyes and vote that way. It's
a pretty simple choice because both candidates have a history,
so you just vote on that and I don't have
to tell you who I'm voting for.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
Well, she just looked confused there, She's like, wait a minute,
where's this going? When I was actually confused right at first,
said I'm going to close my eyes, and I'm like,
oh boy, what are we going? Where we're going that?
I mean that there are a lot of people who
feel that way, and there are a lot of people
more so than are more There are more people like

(32:15):
this than there are people who are supremely devoted to
one candidate or the other, and to an extent, neither
party understands that. To be honest with you, Democrats don't
get it, and a lot of Republicans don't get it.
That's why you know, people are telling Republicans talk about
these issues. When you talk about these issues, man, you're

(32:36):
winning people over right and left. When you're sticking to
the hits, when you're sticking to what you want to
do to counter the deluge at the border, when you're
sticking to what you're going to do to defeat inflation,
when you're sticking to making tax cuts permanent, when you're
sticking to do you like your healthcare you can actually

(32:57):
keep it instead of trying it. Because that's one of
the other things we're to talk about. Kamala Harris wants
to just eliminate all private plans entirely. I mean, I
don't know if you've all been on government care, but
it's horrible. It is really bad. It's like might as
well does not have it. It's so bad, and you
do lose your doctors because I've lost three of them
thanks to Obamacare. So great. So when people sit here

(33:19):
and tell me that doesn't have it, that my truth
is no, that's the truth. So that's the other thing
you got to consider. People don't want to pay an
arm and a leg for health insurance for their families
and then be denied access to specialists and the doctors
that they've ben't go into their whole life. They don't
want to have to pay more. Those are the issues
that you hit. That's the stuff that you talk about.

(33:40):
And Democrats aren't doing that, as we can see, and
that's one of the reasons why they are struggling with
a lot of independence. But you still have this narrative
of I think people people are believe that either side

(34:02):
is wholly completely tribal and partisan too one candidate or
the other, and it's not like that. And people are
overlooking that huge, huge demographic of people right in the
middle who are kind of looking to the right and
left and they're not happy with either choice. But when
you talk to them about the issues, they're like this guy,
oh yeah, yeah, of course I want all these things. Okay.

(34:24):
Then that's why I think it's Republicans need to make
it less about names and more about issues. Let the
issues be the names, right, Let let reducing and eliminating
illegal immigration be the name. Let lower taxes be the name.
That's that's what you need to do. That's what they

(34:45):
how they have to do this. I mean, all democrats,
what are democrats talking? I mean, I literally don't even
know what are there They've got Joe Biden's stuff, and
then she's what is she going to actually debate Ano?
They're going a VP debate coming up next week and
we'll see, we'll see how that works. Coming up, we've
got the latest Israel in Lebanon going after Hesbelah, and

(35:08):
I don't know, we'll see what happens. They Finally, I
think you're gonna have to they need to completely just
exclude the United States from the process of decision making
on that or influence on that. Also, I've got some
pull in for you. There's measures on favorability, on momentum,
and we got to talk about voter canvassin. Republicans have

(35:31):
been behind the ball on voter canvassine and are still
behind the ball on it. That is a huge problem.
And if anybody watched the results coming in in twenty twelve,
as I did live that night and then having to
go on television, it is I'm terrified that we're going
to have a repeat of that and this. You don't
think that canvassing and getting these voters out is important.

(35:53):
This is what gets Republicans every time. So we have
to talk about this, and then we're also going to
get Gena Jackson made a claim about Kamala Harris and
the left lost their minds this weekend, so she kind
of walked it back sort of. We'll talk about that
in so much more. Stick with us. Second hour on
the way.

Speaker 12 (36:11):
Hi, I'm Matthew, a theater major at Hillsdale College. Here's
Hillsdale President doctor Larry Arne with a Constitution Minute.

Speaker 13 (36:20):
The Great Abraham Lincoln described the Constitution as a picture
or frame of silver, built to guard or protect an
apple of gold. This apple of gold was the decrice
of independence and its principle of equal rights for all.
This principle of equal rights, Lincoln said, clears the path
for all, gives hope to all, and by consequence, enterprise
and industry to all. There are many today who seek

(36:42):
to limit or distort this great principle by employing a
distorted definition of equality and equality of condition or outcome,
regardless how people live their lives. This distortion, if generally accepted,
will lead to an America less prosperous and less free.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
The pig so I love corner by Treasure.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
We haven't got more.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
What is she talking about? That's not flashback audio from her,
like talking about Pence or anything?

Speaker 12 (37:23):
Right?

Speaker 4 (37:24):
What is she Because she says I'd like another debate.
I hope the former vice president would agree to that.
Who is she talking about?

Speaker 8 (37:32):
Nobody knows?

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Can you play that again? That is so weird.

Speaker 8 (37:37):
It's hard to hear because of them.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
Just listen to because this is not old. I want
to this is not old. Go ahead.

Speaker 5 (37:45):
The pig.

Speaker 14 (37:46):
So I morn b Treasure.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
We have a lot more. Okay, I am so confused
about this. So this was literally over the weekend. Uh,
what former vice president would does she? Does she think
she's president? Is she secretly serving as president? Was there
like a secret oath taken and all this stuff? And

(38:11):
Biden's just I mean, I don't still.

Speaker 8 (38:14):
Wouldn't be accurate her talking about herself and third person,
if is she talking about Biden?

Speaker 4 (38:20):
I don't even know. It's so weird. It is so weird.
I'm trying it to be a conspiracy theorist, but that
it's twenty twenty four, and I feel like you have
to be just to exist in this year. Like it's
a requirement. So welcome back to the show. Top of
the second hour this Monday, Dana lash with you. I
don't know what she's I don't know what she means here,

(38:43):
Just okay, can I I was going to do this
at the bottom of the last hour and we ended
up talking about something else. But we've I got to
talk about We keep that in mind what you just heard.
I think that there is such a poisonous environment politically,

(39:04):
and it is just it's affecting literally everything, and so
as a result you're seeing I think it's adding to
does this make sense, like a fog of confusion for people,
for voters. I think that people are purposefully overwhelmed. And

(39:24):
I said this was going to happen months ago when
and I know why Trump announced early. I think part
of it was because of the legal maneuvering. I know
there's you know, he announced early, and I get that,
but I think that people are so overwhelmed and just
so they're so done with it all that they're that

(39:47):
they're not considering that any kind of rash vote or
rash reaction manifested as a vote that's going to have
like an enormous consequence but I think that people are
so overwhelmed. That's the point. You just want to be
done with it. There is a real sense that people
just want to be done with it, and we're going
to talk about that. So again, welcome back Dan Elash

(40:09):
with you Channel thirty forty seven Direct TV. You can
watch the simulcast also on x The chat happens at Rumble.
As Lorraine knows, Yea Kamala is the former VP who
needs to agree. That's her so weird. I'm trying it
to be total conspiracy theorist, but this doesn't help. All right,
Let's look at some of the favorability between the two candidates,
and I'm looking at the average of three different aggregators,

(40:39):
three different aggregates of voting. So you have, like, for instance,
you have Real Clear Politics, which takes all of these
polls out there and they average it all out and
then they come up with this is the average. The
same you have the Hill. You also have Decision Desk HQ,
which is a very smart one, RCP five thirty eight,

(41:03):
all of them. So these are every survey that has
been released and it's averaging out. And even if I'm
taking some of the goofy or surveys that I think
are too smaller over sampled, It's still the same Trump
favorability from the Hill to five thirty eight to RCP.
His unfavorables lead and every single one fifty four to

(41:27):
fifty two and fifty two. I mean they're five thirty
eight and RCP have them averaged out the same. They're
just a smidge higher with the Hill his favorables pretty
much the Hill in five thirty eight at forty two.
RCP has it a little higher at almost forty five percent.
When you look at the generic ballot, and then Harris

(41:48):
to be Trump. And again, I'm telling you this because
we've got time on o'clock and I want things to
be rectified. Okay, I'm just I am just giving you
the message. The Hill five thirty eight are it is
so close, it's stupid. The Hill has the averages at
fifty to forty six Harris five thirty eight, forty eight

(42:08):
to forty five Harris, RCP forty nine to forty seven Trump.
It's very important to note five thirty eight RCP their
averages fall within the margin of error, so you could
technically argue that those are tied. The Hill, it's not
She's beyond margin of error plus two over him. Now
looking at some of the forecasts, and this is where

(42:30):
it gets really interesting. And then you look at the
betting nods and all of it. We are at we're
I mean we're we're up here, I mean getting into
early voting, and it is I mean, the first mail

(42:52):
in ballads are already being sent out, so know that
the first This is why I also kind of hate
October surprises. October surprises mean something when everyone votes in
November early vote or the first ballots are being mailed out. Now,
this is when October surprise is kind of irrelevant because
you're going to have a lot of people who are
going to vote early vote. Now, so Harris is maintaining

(43:17):
a slight lead, but it is such a razor thin margin.
So what they have the Electoral College forecast, and this
is for the Hill. They have it projected electorally two
twenty six to two nineteen Harris. Now here's where it
gets real interesting. So Pennsylvania is considered a toss up,

(43:38):
North Carolina is a toss up. Georgia is a toss up. Now,
as we get closer to elections, what I'm going to
do is I'm going to give you three potential outcomes
and I'll put this up on my newsletter at substack,
chapter and verse. I will give you three potential electoral
map outcomes that are down to the latest surveys leading
up into the weeks before the election. But these toss

(44:01):
up states Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.
This is why North Carolina is important. This is why
it's not about Mark Robinson in North Carolina. It's about
their sixteen electoral votes and Trump in North Carolina. Keep
that in mind. Now Democrats are going to make a
play for Georgia. They're not so much interested in Pennsylvania.

(44:24):
That's why they didn't go with Joshapiro up there, because
they felt like, eh, they could lose it and they
could still manage by keeping They think that they're on
track with Michigan and Wisconsin, and you have fifteen and
ten electoral votes respectively. North Carolina is very interesting. That's
what they're and they're making a play for it with
this and some of the Republicans that are helping them.

(44:46):
And also this is why in battleground states, and we
knew North Carolina was going to be a battleground state
early on. You got to be careful with your candidates.
That's a conversation for later. Now. I think the Hill
gets some things right, and I think they get something's wrong.
One of the things that a lot of people are
skipping over so they have Florida as leaning GOP. Florida

(45:07):
is going to be GOP and towards the end of
it will be solid GOP. The issue is that they're
taking into account with this is that some national Republicans
are not polling as well in Florida as the state
Republicans are. Certain states are very tribal about their Republicans.
Florida and Georgia and Texas are among them. That is
why Cornyan somehow like outperformed even Trump during the last election.

(45:31):
That also had to do a split ticket voting, which
the Republican Party has done absolutely nothing to address, which
is a major concern. So that is looking at the Hill,
looking at five thirty eight, Some of the forecasts five
thirty eight has Harris sixty Trump forty. That's the New
York Times. You have to separate New York Times five

(45:52):
thirty eight in Nate Silver because he sold that Nate Silver.
Is I think way more reasonable at fifty three to
forty seven Harris, although I think it's way closer than that,
if I'm being honest. Do I think Trump has a
major lead? No, because the state polls that are done
by local like in state agencies and newspapers, and then
some of the internals that campaigns end up later releasing

(46:15):
show it to be way closer than that. Do I
think that it's sixty to forty Harris?

Speaker 9 (46:20):
No?

Speaker 4 (46:21):
Do I think that Trump's leading. No, So that's I
think by everything that I've seen, it is literally tied.
And this goes back to the point that I brought.
I came in with because you're I can hear you
out there, and you're probably thinking, as I am, Okay,
how in the world is that possible? Look at what

(46:41):
happened the last these last four years. I completely agree
with you. But this is where you have to understand
the psychology of it. Remember in the very beginning, way
back when when Trump first announced and I said, this
is so early, this is going to end up hurting
Republicans likely later on. And I didn't mean that like

(47:02):
Trump specifically. I meant it kick starts the whole cycle
into getting super serious, super fast. And I know that
people have there, he has his reasons for getting in
that early, et cetera, et cetera, but it starts, it's
super early, super fast. This has been the longest political
cycle technically really that of my memory, Kane. Would you agree, Yeah,

(47:25):
by the time it gets down to it, people are
so done with it, they're tired of it, they want
to be done with it. Do you think that's an
accurate assessment, Kane, Because I think that that's what we're
seeing in a lot of favorable and unfavorable exactly. It's
my point. I told you that, guys, this this was
the design. They want you to be so completely exhausted

(47:45):
and done with it that just vote and get done
with it. Vote and get done with it, and maybe
you'll put in a little less effort into making sure
your neighbor's registered, or that your neighbor, you know, the
people that you know are all voting. Maybe, just maybe
it'll hurt a little bit to get out the vote
efforts because everybody's going to be so tired of it,
maybe they won't get the responses that they want to

(48:05):
you've got to consider all of this. There is a
psychology of it. That's why I hate it that the
election cycle lasts this long, because the more you wear
people down, the less receptive they become. That's what my
whole point when I was talking about this a year
and a half ago, and now we're here. So I
think that plays into the favorability and on favorability of

(48:26):
it all. Looking at Nate Silver again fifty three to
forty six. Trump the Economist has its sixty to forty Harris,
I think that's stupid. I think it's just dumb. I
don't think that that's accurate. But the new rating for
North Carolina, to pull this up, Elections Daily has North

(48:47):
Carolina as being safe. They're saying that it's going to
be Democrat. Not even Lean's Democrat. They're saying it's safe Democrat.
So everybody have Cooke Political Report, which is another way
where they measure these states. They'll have a state O
it looks like it's leaning Democrat, meaning there's a good
chance it's going to go Democrat, and then likely Democrat.
They go further with Elections Daily they have safe, likely

(49:09):
and leans. I think that this is silly to say
that it's safe Democrat because I think that there's too
much in play and it's too volatile. Right now, I
think it's probably leaning Democrat. But that's again, that's why
North Carolina is so incredibly important, and we're going to
talk a little bit about that because now by dragging in,
they've been trying to get comments from the media, Lindsay
Graham and all these other people. I get it that

(49:30):
there were some Republicans there that wanted to try to
get out that Robinson guy who's running for governor there,
but this late in the game, pulling these moves, this
late in the game, and from my understanding, it wasn't
just Democrats that did it, It was some Republicans that did.
The party Republicans that did it as well. If he's
a compromised candidate, which it seems like he may be.

(49:51):
If he's a compromise candidate, you have to deal with
you have to go to ward the soldiers you got,
you have to play the hand yourd delt. I don't
know how many different ways they can say, you've got
to deal with the circumstances in which you are in
and make the absolute best of it. And that way,
isn't it, Because now the electoral votes are up into play,
so some stupid strategy going on in that state. So
I wanted to give you kind of a little bit

(50:13):
of the lay of the land and as to why
these polls are looking like this. I think it's a
combination of many, many things which are going to take
many weeks to discuss, but I wanted to give you
sort of the latest of where we're at. Coming up
on top of this, We've got to talk about Republican
get out the vote efforts. This is, this is, all

(50:35):
of this is going to affect what you're going to
how you're going to live your life after November. We're
going to discuss that. I got some culture issues to
hit as well, so you don't want to miss apart
any part of the show. Our partners for this portion
of our program's Celtech. The P fifteen is the smallest,
thinnest double stack nine millimeter on the market, and you
should definitely check it out if you haven't. They have
two versions, the metal version and the polymer version. Uh

(50:57):
and the metal version it's beautiful, has the walnut panels
on it. The polymer version's got that gator grip texture.
It's it is a really awesome super concealable firearm. It
is literally the lightest one that I have lightis anthenists
that I have. That's nine millimeters. You're not losing any
stopping power you have. Ultra concealability comes with two magazines.

(51:19):
One is the standard fifteen round with minimal pinky extension.
The other's a flush fit double stack mag that holds
twelve striker fire reliability, great trigger pull, and lifetime warranty

It's the P fifteen tell them Dana send you.

Speaker 5 (51:41):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 4 (51:46):
All right, So first up, oh boy, scientists in South
Africa say they've identified the first known outbreak of rabies
and seals. That makes me sad because seals look, you know,
like so happy and cute and cuddly. I mean, I
know they're not, but you know, I tend to think
I'm kind of like snow white when it comes to animals.
Twenty four Kate first seals that were found dead or

(52:09):
ethanized in various locations on South Africa's west and south
coast had ravies which can be passed to people. That's sad.
Can you imagine a rabid seal?

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Though?

Speaker 4 (52:20):
How does that end up? Like? I? You know, I
read old Yeller? But what about like old seal? I
don't know, just not like the singer, like the animal.
Let's see here. Also, yeah, I had to note it,
had to note it. Golf tropical storm is likely southeast
to hit Florida southeast late this week. They're looking at
whether or not it's going to turn into a hurricane.

(52:41):
A hurricane. It's coming up through the Gulf, going over
the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, and then it's going
to be hitting the Pain Handle. It could be hitting
thirty A's where it looks like it's going to be
going towards. But they're watching it. It's developing in the
next day or so. It's entering the Gulf of Mexico.
Details beyond that are uncertain, but they're keeping an eye
on it. This is ironic A California a CalFire engineer

(53:04):
faces arson charges and is suspected of sparking five wildfires
in northern California. So again, a California fire engineer's facing
arson charge as well. One would be a fire engineer,
you know, if you liked Arson. Just saying a sunken
supriyacht believed to contain water tight safes with sensitive intelligence

(53:27):
data is the Epstein list in there. I'm just curious.
Specialist divers are looking at the wreckage of this forty
million dollars supriyacht that sank off sicily in August the
British tech tycoon, and now they have heightened security guarding it.
This story gets weirder and weirder. Stick with us, we
get a lot more in store. No matter why you're
preparing emergency survival food, it's crucial that your supplies last

(53:49):

Speaker 15 (55:08):
Yeah, so, our system is antiquated and difficult to understand
because it's different from one state to the next, and
by having Georgia have to handcount ballots, it doubles down
on that antiquated part, but it also creates opportunity to
sew misinformation. We found in the January sixth Committee that
those differences between the way states count votes and when

(55:31):
they announced were used to so doubt on the outcome
of the election. And when average Americans were lied to
by powerful people, they showed up on January sixth and
engaged in acts of political violence. And I think we
really have to brace ourselves knowing that there's quite a
few number of lawsuits already filed all.

Speaker 4 (55:51):
This information from voting. You know, so many of these
countries at handcount their ballots. They get their results like
in hours. You know, I mean, where in the world
these are? I mean, I think that you're trying to
sew I don't know. I just I believe people counting
handcounting ballots more so than I believe an easily compromised

(56:12):
system digital system doing it. This is former Democrat Representative
Stephanie Murphy. She's like, no, we can't handcount these ballots.
It's a danger to democracy because you can't do it.
What I don't know. I just I got questions about
this chick. I got questions about I don't believe that,
and again, the resistance against accountability makes me question it

(56:42):
even all the more. Right, Like when you are when
they refuse accountability and they're refusing any kind of anything
to restore faith in the system, then that makes me,
it makes me disbelieve them even more. I don't know
what's wrong with hand counting ballots. I made peopal questions
results of the election. But again, there are so many

(57:04):
other countries that handcount ballots and they get their results
in hours. Why can't we do that? No, we got
to tie it all up with I mean, it's just
there's come on, there's just it's just that's the best
way to do it. We need to go back to that.
I mean, nobody if you have both parties present and
they're hand counting everything there's not and they're they're overseeing it,

(57:28):
there's not a lot of room to screw it up,
you know what I mean. There's not a lot of
room to add some zeros onto that. I just I
don't know. I mean, we used to, we counted ballots,
how many cane for years? When did we first start
doing the digital system for this?

Speaker 8 (57:45):
Oh, it would have been after the uh, the gore,
the Bush gore. Thing, because so it was some time
after that, but I would imagine probably it was implemented
during around that time. They were probably testing it in
smaller cities and more local, you know areas, but I

(58:08):
assume it's it's just a short time after that.

Speaker 4 (58:12):
I remember all of that. Yeah, the electronic voting and
looking when this started in the United States. I mean again,
we would hand count it for years and we had
results within hours, you know, same day result. We had

(58:34):
a clear like there was a clear winner. And then
now now look at it, we digitize it. We have
electronic voting, and it's unclear even days after. I mean,
it's kind of harder to steal an election when everybody's
hand counting the ballots. It's just stupid. I mean, it's

(58:57):
secure and it's monitored, and they know the chain of
custody for everything. This idea that I just does anty
But well, I guess some people believe it. She I
think clearly believes it. But the and they have the
they have guidelines for I mean, there's some thing with
electronic voting. There's so many things that can go wrong,

(59:18):
and even maintaining like different voter registrations, having the elect
the print outside. There's always stories every single every single year,
every single election, when they're feeding it back in and
getting it to register. You always hear people where they
feed in their ballot and it doesn't register, and then

(59:38):
people at the precinct are like very I mean, it
creates some problems, especially because you don't want to double count,
et cetera. You avoid all of that stuff. I haven't here.
I mean, there's we need to go back. We need
to go back to that, We need to go back
to hand counting. There are so many insecurities. And here's
the other thing. Voting is supposed to not be consolidated

(01:00:00):
at one government level. That is why the founders were
very intent on creating that distinction and having the states
control their voting. That's why it's constitutional. States control their elections,
They control how their people choose their leaders, they control
how they vote. That's why, you know, after the lockdown,

(01:00:20):
there were a lot of there was a lot of
back and forth over right now. There was a lot
of back and forth over the process through which people
were changing their requirements. Different states were changing their requirements.
Because while states have that constitutional freedom guaranteed that they
can control how they run their elections. If you want
other states to accept the results of your elections, you

(01:00:42):
have to make sure that you're doing you're running your
elections with integrity. So you're free to run your elections
how you want to your state, but if you want,
you know, the state of Texas or the state of
Oklahoma to accept the results of that election, then they
need to be run with integrity. There need to be
protections in place, and you know, you need to be

(01:01:06):
able to demonstrate accountability and competency in order for everyone
else to accept what you're doing. And that's sort of
the agreement that all the states have, and that's one
of the reasons why, you know, after twenty twenty, some people,
and I think there were people who didn't know what

(01:01:27):
was going on that were arguing that it was about
stopping the election. It never was. It was about pausing
to make sure that the electoral votes that they could
validate and make sure that these elections were run properly
because states were changing how they were running their elections
due to lockdown, So in certain instances, when you had

(01:01:47):
mail and ballots coming in, they would eliminate the requirement
of having signatures and all of this other stuff. Now,
remember what I said. States are free to run their
elections how they want to, but in order for the
expectation that other states accept those result, you need to
demonstrate that you're running your elections with integrity. And people
were saying, can we just pause for a moment and
just double check to make sure because there's a lot

(01:02:10):
of inconsistencies here, and there are a lot of gaps
in security, So can we please just double check. That's
what all of that was about. Now, there were some
bad actors out there who were claiming that this had
to do was stopping the election, and that's not what
it was about. It was making sure that these elections
were run with integrity and that voters' choices were actually

(01:02:32):
being protected. That's all it was. No one was undoing anything.
They were making sure that everyone was still operating in
that agreement. So that being said, this idea of electronic
voting and not having everything be done at a federal level.
Electronic voting kind of makes it to where it's a
quasi federal level thing. In my opinion, you're taking that

(01:02:56):
step of helping to consolidate something by making electronic. It
seems like you can say with data that's stupid at
state run, is it? Though? Can you be a thousand
Can you tell me with a thousand percent guarantee with
total assurance that there's no possible way that anything can
be manipulated, that anything that it couldn't easily just be

(01:03:17):
consolidated federally, that it can't be manipulated outside of the state.
Because without that guarantee, without that assurance, I have no
idea why we're doing it. It's supposed to be by
the states, and it actually should be something that's difficult
or tedious to count. Not difficult to count the ballots,
but it should be tedious. You should. It should be

(01:03:37):
tedious because you're making sure that everything is double triple checked.
It should be tedious because you want both parties present.
It should be tedious because you want to make sure
that every single movement in the chain of command is documented.
It should be tedious because it's important enough to be
to be that detailed. So this woman, this is just

(01:04:00):
a lie, absolute lie.

Speaker 13 (01:04:04):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:04:04):
I told you there are instances when people are documented
that they had absentee ballot applications sent and all this
other stuff. I think some of it is inconsistent it's
just not taking care of your voter roles, but sometimes
it's actually bad. I had to fight for forever to
get a vote overturned or or deleted. Basically, there was

(01:04:26):
someone who was registered to vote at my address illegally,
and it was someone who never lived in my house.
They had lived in the area, and I found out
that they had voted. You can't tell who they voted for,
but they weren't a Republican, and they had voted from
my address, and it was not a legal vote for
my address. And it was one person, but it was
someone who was illegally registered. Because in Texas you can

(01:04:48):
track absolutely everything, and you can track mail in ballots
and all this other stuff. And it was and it
was someone who had it was a mail in ballot,
and I found out that they had because it was
a twenty sixteen vote, and I got the twenty twenty
ballot for the person. They sent me a mail in
ballot to this person addressed to my house, and I

(01:05:09):
found out that this person had been in the prior election,
had illegally voted, and I had to fight to get
that to get that name, that that name off of
my address, and I had to fight to get that
removed from being considered, that vote being considered. It didn't
really matter. But can you imagine, I mean, that's just me.
I'm on air and I had to literally slog it
out with you know, the system. It was crazy, But

(01:05:35):
that happens. And I think that in some instances there
are I think there are genuine errors. But then at
the same time, I think there's also malicious actors who
wanted to take advantage of that. And I'm sorry for
the taxes we pay. I don't want to have errors.
I don't pay an ungodly amount of my salary to
the federal government and to and I don't pay this

(01:05:56):
much for taxes for there to be any issue with anything.
And with state we pay a lot in property tax.
I don't pay this much to have mistakes made. And
there's no accountability. You can't make mistakes like what some
of these state and federal officials make and still expect
to have a job, but the government can. That's ridiculous.

(01:06:19):
So I don't know. I it'll be interesting to stand.
A lot of steps have been taken in different areas.
I remember when true the vote was trying to restore
voter integrity just in Houston. John Lewis, who everyone celebrates,
he came down on that. He sent every Alphabet agency
to harass that group. It was insane. A few of

(01:06:40):
the other things before we could go into Florida Man
that we are looking at. I saw this story about
I don't want to really want to get into it.
The RFK Junior thing with Olivia Newsy. I think we
talked about it briefly Friday. She is as a reporter
with like, what was it, the New York Post, I thought,

(01:07:01):
or she's like a reporter New York magazine, And apparently
she had had an inappropriate relationship with RFK Junior. Some
people were saying that they actually did meet several times,
but he's now looking into a possible lawsuit against This
story came out in the New York Post, which is
friendly towards RFK Junior. He's saying that Newsy bombarded him

(01:07:22):
with increasingly pornographic photos and videos and tricked him into
unblocking her numbers. Can I just pause here for a moment.
I'm not going to read this whole story. I've written
about this before. RFK Junior agrees with this on the
coronavirus vaccine. Great, that's great. He is the Philanderine son
of a bitch. Let's be honest about that. Forgive my French,

(01:07:43):
but it's accurate. He's messed around on his first wife,
his second wife, Mary Richardson. His second wife hung herself
in the barn of the family home. He was out
parading his now third wife, Cheryl Hines. He had Cheryl
Hines on his arm, and he was parading her out
and about just torturing his ex, fighting her for custody.

(01:08:06):
She ended up getting depression. She I mean sad she
committed suicide, but the general sense is that he was exploiting.
I think he and his behavior he was not a
supportive husband. That is not how a godly man acts.
That is not how a strong husband acts. That is
not how a helpmate acts. And instead of helping his
wife or encouraging her apparently to get help, he was

(01:08:28):
out running around on her. She ends up hanging herself
in the barn. It sounded like he was I mean,
the family says he was emotionally abusive to her, but
not a great dude. He's very much a Kennedy in
that regard. So while I think this reporter is definitely thirsty. Clearly,
when you're posting photos of a certain kind of yourself

(01:08:50):
just online, that's thirsty and that looks kind of desperate.
At the same time for him to act like she
victimized him. He said the same thing about his ex wife,
his second wife. He said the same thing about his
first wife. He kept sex diaries where he said that
women would quote unquote mug him. That's how he described
his sexual encounters. He was always the victim in every
single thing, and that behavior hasn't changed, and he's just

(01:09:15):
trying to put it all on her. So he's a
Kennedy through and through, and he's definitely a Democrat through
and through. He just agrees at the end of the
coronavirus vaccine, and after Democrats got mad at him because
he wasn't totally highmind on that the right. That doesn't
mean the right should go on lionize the guy just saying.

Speaker 8 (01:09:33):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida.

Speaker 9 (01:09:41):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:09:42):
I just say, I just don't know if there's a
better intro than Simple Mind's New Gold Dream. I mean,
it's such a great intro. Oh love it. Maybe some
love and rocket stuff. I don't know. All right, Uh,
let's see, Okay, this is I've got to I gotta
immediately get into this. This is uh the state and
I lady. I got to take her first. Lady steak knife,

(01:10:03):
that's what we're calling her. A Florida woman attacks and
throws steak knives at a dude because he left her
at a bar. I feel like I would leave her
there too, you know, she seems the type A Florida
woman was taking a jail. She attacked it with steak
knives and a bottle opener at a Flagger County home
last week, Dale Dale Lean Die, It's d A I

(01:10:25):
l e e n Daleen dial Leane, I don't know.
Keller thirty four was arrested on charges of aggravated battery
and domestic battery. So they were called to her house
because she was attacking a dude. She's crying in her mugshot.
She looks really remorseful. The guy said it started. He
left Keller at a bar because he wanted to leave
and she didn't. Then they met up with each other

(01:10:47):
later that night. She grabbed three steak knives and a
bottle opener and began attacking him. She threw a steak
knife at him as he hid behind a chair, and
when he tried to disarm her, she stabbed him in
the forearm with a bottle opener. Then she threw two
knives at him when he tried to run away, striking
him in the back and in his ear. Sounds like
she's pretty good throwing knives, Like why is she not
doing ax throwing? Like get her to a bar to

(01:11:07):
do ax throwing, which is where you want to go.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:11:10):
Yeah, she's taken into custody. She's on twelve five hundred
dollars bond. But I'm just saying, can I just go
back to that for him? And I mean she got
him every time she'd thrown them knives, and she's don't
do that.

Speaker 8 (01:11:21):
He may have been a big target.

Speaker 4 (01:11:25):
It's kind of like she was in a knee breed and
she's still hitting the marks. That's all I'm saying. Like
if I was picking somebody for my ax throwing team,
you know, or darts, I'd be like, she's with me.
I'm just saying, no, she can't be right now because
she's literally in jail. But you know what I mean,
A let's see two Florida men were arrested for catching

(01:11:45):
a baby gater and then they kept it in a
cooler to eat. That's I'm actually sad for a gater.
Can't even believe this. This is in Tallahassee. They're all
the way up in Tallahassee. The gators.

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:11:58):
Oh, they've been accused of eating a baby gator in
Lake Talquin and keeping it alive in a cooler to
eat later at home. That is so mean. They got
charged because they took a gator without a license, and
they accused each other of wanting to eat the gator.
But they're in trouble. I kind of feel bad for
that little gator. Little gater, it's my new rat name.
Stick with us. Third Hour coming up.

Speaker 14 (01:12:19):
Other things that we should note, And I don't know
if we can show this number. I want to put
this up on screen. Latino voters have moved away from
Harris in Arizona. If you believe this New York Times poll,
her lead has shrunk by eleven points in that voting block.
It was she was at sixty percent in August, now
forty nine percent.

Speaker 4 (01:12:37):
Now yeah, well, I'm not totally surprised. Who would be
I mean, she's horrible. Welcome back to the program. I'm
so glad that we don't have like a broadcast that
broadcasts what goes on during break Dana lash with you.

Speaker 8 (01:12:55):
We should monitorze top of this third hour, should put
it out on the CD.

Speaker 9 (01:12:58):
Ear.

Speaker 4 (01:12:58):
I did come up with an amazing this idea. Though
I want to purchase my non existent product, don't say it.
I'm not going to have to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
in I'm like going to it's it's good. It's good,
doesn't exist, but now will I feel like it needs to?
Now where are we going? I feel like it's I'm
in a I'm in a Friday mood because I work
this weekend, so I'm like Friday mode and it's Monday.

(01:13:20):
So I'm really sorry what I don't know what that
means for you. This week it's going to get crazier.
So channel through forty seven Direct TV you can the
chat happens on rumple and uh. You can also find
a saw on x as well. All right, so the
polling we've been talking a little bit about that. I'm
gonna get into some of the culture stuff as well.
But I saw this headline Caina and I've been going
back and forth on the polling because he's I he

(01:13:44):
doesn't want to believe anything that he sees. And look,
I get it, because I don't really either. No, I
like he hates old people.

Speaker 8 (01:13:49):
I'm you know which, I really oversimplify the things I.

Speaker 4 (01:13:53):
Did, not oversimplify it. It's not my problem that you
have with old folks. Okay, I get.

Speaker 8 (01:13:59):
All old people are and I said, that doesn't mean
I'm throwing all old people out.

Speaker 4 (01:14:03):
Sorry, that's not how I heard you. Ten four good buddy.

Speaker 8 (01:14:07):
And polling, I really believe polling is what they use
to drive people's beliefs. I don't believe that when you
pull two thousand people even and what are the biggest
samples that we see five thousand, six thousand.

Speaker 4 (01:14:20):
Oh, believe you're preaching to the choir. But here's the
here's the stick in the mud. Though, And again I
don't I please understand that I don't want to be right.
I really don't. I don't like I didn't want to
be right about the level of enthusiasm at this point
in the election. But I warned everybody about this over
a year ago. That's what happens to you have a
super long cycle and then people are just so inundated

(01:14:42):
with stuff that they just give up. And that's why
we're like canvas scenes down like there are from these
battleground states. I'm hearing from friends who work in ops
that they're like, yeah, we've got a problem with getting
turnout happening. It's it's an issue, and I'm a little nervous.
You know, I'm always on eleven, but I'm a little nervous.

(01:15:04):
But my issue, My point is that I'm bringing this
up not to be like a critical or a debute downer,
because there's time on the clock and I like to
fix stuff. Because Katie barred the door. If I got
to pay an ungodly amount in tax in November, because
we've got you know, Harry Walls who gets elected, Heaven
help us, I am going to throw stuff. I will,

(01:15:30):
oh my gosh, I'm gonna You would call it a riot.
I will call it a temper tantrum. It'll be a
one woman riot. Temper tantrum is what it'll be.

Speaker 8 (01:15:40):
I just call it somebody doing something.

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
So ken's like, I just call it somebody doing something.
My point though, in telling you this is like I said,
there's time on the clock. Can we, of course correct
a bit and get some stuff fixed. But I was
mildly amused, I have to say so saw this headline.
Democrats are starting to freak out a little bit. It's

(01:16:04):
at the hill because it is super close. They're worried
that polsters are under counting Trump. Now, why would Democrats
fear that polsters are under counting something? Well, they overcounted
on purpose in twenty twenty, I feel because remember we
were promised this red wave and it didn't happen. I

(01:16:25):
and I was saying, I don't know if i'd believe
the polls, don't know if I trust it. And I
had some folks that were mad at me because I
didn't really want to. I felt as though it was
they were inflating something and it was to Republicans detriment
because one of the things that Republicans do, and this
is time and this is tested over time, is the

(01:16:49):
moment that the GOP feels like they're doing well, They're like, okay,
we're done now, it's great, let's go home. It's done. Bye, guys, great,
good job, haven't even happened. And they're like, yeah, high five,
high Five's everybody, great job, we're going back, Let's go back,
let's go hang out, let's go do something other, right, Caine,
Am I wrong?

Speaker 8 (01:17:10):
But Republicans are the ones that actually vote on election day. Yeah,
they don't take advantage of the the well.

Speaker 4 (01:17:16):
I get it. I get it. If you're like a
college kid, although you got to get your stuff stitjaded.
And then if you're in the military, clearly, but or
if you're you know, if you're you've had surgery or eld,
I get I get to get it. But that that
is what they do. I have seen it. I have
been one of those people who have been tasked with

(01:17:38):
going out and canvassing and trying to get trying to
get people to vote. And when people think that they're
already going to win, when they think it's already so good,
there's Republicans. Democrats are not like this. And there it
is a mental thing. I don't sex psychological profile. I
don't know why. But Republicans are just like, Okay, that's great, guys,

(01:17:58):
let's go home, let's go hang out. Guys. I want
to go bowling. They just they stop. And I don't
know why they do this all the time. They do
this all the time. In twenty twelve. It was horrific.
They were like this in twenty twelve. I remember the polling. Oh,
Romney looks pretty good. I was not a Romney fan.
Oh it looks pretty good. They just they just stopped.
They didn't even test their get out their their their

(01:18:20):
software that they were using the day of elections to
get out the vote. They didn't even test it. They
just fired it up on election date. It didn't work.
Not even kidding that. Go and google that's a story.
So I get concerned, and I look at this story
and it says Democrats, field polsters are undercounting Trump because
they purposely overcounted it to give Republicans a false sense

(01:18:40):
of victory in twenty twenty. And I think that helped
to suppress the vote. So you there's always going to
be a level of fraud. The question is is it
enough fraud for an entire election. I think at this
point elections are still state run and it's still so
I just jointed that it's difficult. It would be almost

(01:19:06):
impossible to do it almost now, Abbilly, you know, I
don't know. I'm It's been a weird four years, So
who the hell knows anymore. That's why you always have
to beat the margin of THEFT. I don't even like
saying margin of error anymore. You gotta beat the margin
of theft. Okay. That's why turnout is so important. I
like to just flood it. I want so many people

(01:19:28):
to turn out that the precincts are overwhelmed and people
are like, make it stop, that's what you want. And
the truth of the matter is that Republicans can actually
do that. We just don't. They don't, and the reason
being is because the moment they think that they're in
the lead, they're like, Okay. It's like, imagine you're running
a two hundred meter race. Republicans are the guy whose

(01:19:50):
first place, and he's almost at the finish line, he say,
can I'm doing pretty good, and then he just kind
of stops, like yay, and then everybody else passes him.
Every time they do this, and it's hope frustrating. So
they twenty sixteen they were trying to hype it up,
and they were wrong in twenty sixteen because they undercounted him.

(01:20:12):
And then in twenty twenty they decided, well, let's go
the other way and see if that works. Twenty eighteen,
they kind of did it too twenty eighteen to twenty twenty.
I think that they purposely over They were purposely overemphasizing
a red wave for that suppressive effect. So I think
now it's I mean, it's close. And then one of

(01:20:34):
the other things that Republicans have not addressed is the
split ticket voting, which Texas is getting rid of Think
Heavens and closing primaries Think Heavens, split ticket vote a well,
Texas is getting rid of or open primaries. The split
ticket voting is a thing, meaning you can't just go
and get a Republican ballot and all the way down
you actually have to vote in everything, and that could

(01:20:56):
be a problem for those people who don't want they
maybe they're like one of those they don't like Harris,
but they they're not a fan of Trump and they
would rather vote hate vote against Harris. Maybe they leave
it blank. Maybe they you know, because the number of
votes doesn't decrease, but it does change the number of
votes a particular candidate may receive, and I think some

(01:21:20):
people incorrectly interpret that as fraud. It was an issue
in Texas because Cornin got more votes than Trump did
in texts. I know. I know John Cornyn got more
votes than Trump did in Texas because of the split
ticket voting. And it wasn't because it was an element
of fraud. It was because literally people would either leave
it blank or they'd write something in. And so that
is something that the RNC has not addressed yet. So

(01:21:43):
the Democrats are freaking out because they say they think
that there could be undercounting, they could be undercounting and
underestimating Trump with these polls, and they said that it's
been really damaged since twenty sixteen. And I don't think
that that's necessarily incorrect. I think it was it was
pretty and looking at the runoff and the special elections

(01:22:04):
in Georgia, I think it was pretty accurate the surveys
that were done there. I think that in the battleground
state he's always he does perform his averages. Historically, he
way overperformed his averages in twenty sixteen with that blue Wall,
he still outperformed his averages in twenty eighteen, and in

(01:22:30):
some of these other battleground polls right now it's kind
of similar to twenty twenty, and Democrats are worried that
they're undercounting him because of that that statistic. So it
is I just want to caution people about the polling effort.
I also wanted to bring this up because it's super important,
and he pulled this up, got a million windows open
here really quickly. This is in my is my GOP heading.

(01:22:54):
So the other issue, just to be aware of it.
This Republicans in Swing States. This is from the Associated Press,
and I have heard this from really good sources and
people who work with groups that are doing this independently
of the other groups working with the rn C. The
activists in Swing States are saying that they have not

(01:23:16):
seen a lot of canvassing from the RNC. The story
says that they've not seen they've seen little sign, if any,
of the team's tasked with knocking on doors and turning
out infrequent voters on behalf of Trump. It's raising concerns
about the party's presidential nominee relying on these groups for

(01:23:37):
an important part of campaign operations. He controls the rn C,
and he opted to share get out the vote duties
with a couple of political action committees and they have
fewer I mean, we got we're weeks out and they
said that in Michigan and North Carolina and other battleground

(01:23:59):
state it's activists and operatives who have been in these
areas and been active for years say that they have
either rarely or have not witnessed the group's canvassers. Now.
They said that in Nevada and Arizona, the America Pack,
which is one I think must back, they replaced their

(01:24:22):
canvassors just this week. In Michigan, the field director for
the GOP in Oakland County, which is a super red county,
said quote, I haven't seen anybody, he says, No one's
given any kind of heads up, and we haven't seen
anybody in Oakland areas. So it's one thing to rely

(01:24:42):
on your base when you're turning out people to rallies,
but you've got to turn those people out for votes,
and this does not You have to have a good
ground operation here and in these states particularly. I cannot
emphasize enough how important it is to get out in
front of voter how important it is to go and

(01:25:02):
knock on those doors, to have voter drives, to do
these events, especially in Michigan, because in twenty twenty Trump
lost by like what one hundred and fifty eight thousand votes,
and a lot of these were votes that he could
have gotten. These weren't far left votes, these were people
who just I mean, when you look at the number
of people who didn't who were Republican and didn't show up,

(01:25:26):
that's it. So this is my point. You've got to
turn these votes out. And there are some apparently it
looks like it might be the worst in Michigan, but
they don't know if they're going door to door, they
don't know what's happening. So this is the RNC needs
to get on this immediately. Otherwise, what in the hell
are people giving them money for. I mean, what's the
point of controlling the RNC if you're not going to

(01:25:48):
make it get out and go and make them work
with these groups and make sure every battleground state, every
toss up state is covered in terms of get out
the vote outreach. What is the point of controlling the
RNC at that point? If I was controlling the RNC
and I was a candidate on the ballot, my gosh,
it would be insane the operations in these states, because
it's coming down to these states and North Carolina, they're

(01:26:10):
dealing with issues there right now. So you know, it's
incredibly important now so more than ever to get to
make sure that you have an operation out there.

Speaker 5 (01:26:17):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 4 (01:26:24):
Okay. So one of the things we're going to be
talking about coming up with Brendan Carr here is how
the FCC is going to delay the rollout of the
Internet and rural communities. Remember that was part of this
huge boondogg old deal that Kamala Harris was supposedly in
charge of how many people were connected to the Internet

(01:26:44):
because of her forty two billion dollar inponits right now,
and we're going to talk more about that coming up. Also,
this telegram is that I don't think, well, I don't
really think anything is safe. Telegram was advertised as being safer,
but now the messaging app, it's revealed, going to provide
more data to governments and include users' IP addresses and

(01:27:06):
phone numbers in response to valid legal requests. So that's
and remember they took that kind of custody too. So
is that because he was just pressured too much for
the French government, I don't know, because remember they would
not bend the knee and so the government went after them.
The French government did this. Let's see a mystery beast

(01:27:28):
in Minnesota Woods? Is it Tim Wallas's wife? A mystery
beast in Minnesota Woods is baffling experts. They say it's
a wolf dog hybrid, so not a were wolf, I know.
They say it's walking around the woods in northern Minnesota.
And they the wild find a curd after the Voyagers
Wolf Project the university at the University of Minnesota. They

(01:27:48):
captured the animal roaming around a trail. It is weird.
It looks like a fluffyed wolf dog. It's just the
wolf dog. Yeah, I mean it's you know, it's pretty.
But they're trying to figure out what it is. Also,
Missouri teenager was suspended by his school for posting a
picture of a firearm made out of soda cans. That's

(01:28:11):
the dumbest thing ever. We're going to save this. This
was in Mountain View at Liberty Middle School. It's doctor
Pepper Cans Brendan carrs Next.

Back when bands were great, you didn't have to worry

You didn't really have to worry about the government. No
stamping down on you too bad what you said on
the airways. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you.
We're at the bottom of this third hour. I wanted
to point out this article to you, and this is
going to lead into our guests Brendan Carr here in

(01:28:51):
just a moment. Listen to this. We've talked it last
June or this past June. We had Brendan Carr on
the program, and as you know, he is the Commissioner
on the Federal Communications Commission, previously General Council for the FCC.
This story from the New York Post. The FCC approved
a controversial deal that fast tracked left leaning billionaire George

(01:29:12):
Soros's acquisition of radio stations that reach more than one
hundred and sixty five million Americans. They adopted this order
to approve the purchase two hundred stations. It affects Odyssey, well,
this is the Odyssey acquisition. This affects people like yours truly,
and the decision came. It was a vote with three
Democrats voting for, two voting against, Republicans voting against. So typically,

(01:29:37):
the way that I understand it, the ownership and the
POST touches on this a foreign company ownership of stations,
they're not supposed to exceed twenty five percent, and Soros
took foreign investment to make his bid, and then he
made a filing and asking he asked the Commission to
make an exception to this process. And it's being described
as a fast tracked deal and also the first time

(01:29:59):
in my history. The Post rates that a deal has
been approved by the full Commission without first running the
National Security review process, a process they note that could
take up to a year or more. Soros his group
says that they'll come back to the FCC at some
point in the future to run that process. I'm real
sure they will on this issue and of course other issues.

(01:30:22):
Our guest Brendan Carr, you can follow him on x
at Brendan Carr, FCC Commissioner. We're so glad that you
can join us. Thank you so much for your time,
and I know where you stand on this, but I'm
just shocked that someone could get an exception, and I
feel like the exception that was granted to him was
due to the size of his wallet.

Speaker 2 (01:30:41):
Yeah, it's interesting.

Speaker 16 (01:30:41):
I just saw the same story you did from the
New York Post Lydia Moini hand reporting that the FCC
voted to approve this transaction just last Wednesday at this point,
and I can't swer comment beyond what that story says,
but I've been very clear on the record here. So
this Soro's back group has come to the FCC and
ask for a special shortcut exactly like you pointed out.

(01:31:04):
They have excessive foreign ownership in excess of twenty five
percent in the commission. The couition has never signed off
on something like this without first running the national security review,
but we apparently do, according to this reporting, for the
first time ever, simply to benefit the Soros Group.

Speaker 4 (01:31:21):
It seems like, do you believe that the group is
going to come back. They said they're going to come
back to the FCC in the future and undergo that process,
But that seems silly to go back and undergo the
security review after the acquisition has been greenlit.

Speaker 16 (01:31:35):
Yeah, I think they will come back. They have to
come back legally. What they're saying is in the interim
they're going to sort of wall off the foreign interest holders,
but that the source group it help wants to get
the reins of these radio stations very quickly, and then
they'll come back once they're in control and go through
that process.

Speaker 2 (01:31:50):
So again, we're talking about over.

Speaker 16 (01:31:51):
Two hundred radio stations across forty different markets that they're
getting a hold of.

Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
And my position here has been pretty simple.

Speaker 16 (01:31:58):
Let's apply our normal process, our normal rules. You know
what's so special about this particular transaction that merits an
unprecedented shortcut at this time of year.

Speaker 4 (01:32:08):
It wouldn't be the election, would it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
Yeah, no comment on that one.

Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
I was just thinking out loud, maybe it's the election.
So talking with with Brendan Carr, FCC Commissioner, what so
does this mean that, you know, are they going to
run conservatives off the airwaves on those stations? I mean
there's the potential that, you know, if we say something
that's either critical of the Soros group or I mean,
ultimately that's that's a real possibility, is it not cold,

(01:32:34):
we could be removed off air?

Speaker 16 (01:32:36):
Certainly, Yeah, certainly possibility if you look at these stations,
and a lot of them are so news or classic rock,
but there are a number of conservative voices that are
on some of these two hundred stations around the country,
and I've heard those concerns be aired.

Speaker 2 (01:32:50):
Again. My view is mainly just.

Speaker 16 (01:32:51):
About, like, let's follow our normal process here. It's concerned
that we didn't do this, you know, Congress and ship
Roy with someone that really sounded alarm on this months
ago as well, and so I think it's a pretty
significant you know, proceeding at this.

Speaker 4 (01:33:04):
Point, seeing that this is the first time beat the
litmus test in terms of foreign ownership. Is that going
to set a precedent? Is that something that you fear?

Speaker 16 (01:33:12):
Yeah, I mean, look again, the Full Commission had just
never done this before.

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
In fact, a couple of years.

Speaker 16 (01:33:17):
Ago, we took public comment, we went through a year's
long rule making to come up with one exception to
how you can have access at foreign ownership, and it's
this sort of lengthy petition for dector a ruling process.
We created one exception, and now we didn't go through
a rule making, we didn't take hundreds of days.

Speaker 2 (01:33:33):
The way we did last time, just totally out of
the blue.

Speaker 16 (01:33:36):
We're creating an entirely new exception that apparently anybody can use.
At this point, you can exceed our foreign ownership requirements,
you can claim that you're walling them off, and you
can get a hold of these stations very quickly.

Speaker 4 (01:33:46):
Now, wow, just unbelievable. So this is I mean, this
is wow. I mean, because this is just it's historic.
I just thought, I honestly, I don't know what I thought.
I thought that maybe it wouldn't get approved by the FCC.
I was kind of thinking that maybe it wouldn't happen,
because you know, I know your voice, and I know
I know the sentiments of the sentiment of the Republicans
on the on the Commission. But I was a little

(01:34:08):
bit surprised. But I've warned my lesson, I shouldn't be anymore.
Uh So they're they're they're going to come back. You said, legally,
they're required to come back to do this review. Do
you last question on this issue before we move to
the broadband Do you are do you think that what
if something comes up in the review, what if they're
you know, they come back a year later, within the
year and there you're you're doing the security review and

(01:34:28):
say something does come up, or there is an objection
that comes up, like what happens after the deal's essentially
already been made. If there's something objectionable that does arise.

Speaker 16 (01:34:36):
Well, that's right, that's why this is supposed to be
done on the front end. Normally, when you run the
process on the front end, if there is an issue
that you would sort of legally wall certain interests off,
you can get national security agreements put in place. Again,
it's not just the SCC, it's a whole raft of
national security agencies that look at this. I mean, if
there is something very serious an issue, could there be
something potentially meriting the unwinding of the whole transaction, that's possible.

(01:35:00):
The first step people would probably look at this stage
is mitigating concerns. Again, it's entirely popular's no issue there
at all, But we're just blind blind at.

Speaker 4 (01:35:07):
This point, just wild Talking with Brendan Carr, Commissioner on
the Federal Communications Commission. So the Big Big Broadband Project.
I know you were a huge fan of this, this
forty two billion dollar plan to expand the Internet, provide
access as fast as as they could allow. I think
are as fast as could be allowed to provide access

(01:35:29):
to rural Americans, Americans from coast to coast, And how
many people have been connected since that money was allocated
in that project proposed?

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
Yeah, I can count on less than one hand. It's zero.

Speaker 16 (01:35:43):
So back in twenty twenty one, as you indicated, President
Biden asked Vice President Harris to lead this signature, forty
two billion dollar plan to get millions, millions of people connected.

Speaker 2 (01:35:55):
And now we're in excess of one.

Speaker 16 (01:35:57):
Thousand, forty days and not a single home, not a
single business, not one person has been connected to the Internet.
I think the bottom line for me is this we
all as a country. Oh, Secretary bootaj edge an apology
because when it came out earlier this year that he
had connected only eight EB charging stations after getting seven
billion dollars, people thought that was a bad thing. But

(01:36:18):
now I think, in hindsight, when you see that we've
connected zero people to the Internet with this Harris led
program for forty two billion dollars, is eight actually looks
pretty good in comparison.

Speaker 4 (01:36:28):
He actually beat her on something. Well, you know, he
did beat her in twenty twenty and their primaries too.
I mean she was pulling behind him, so you know
that the trend to continues. We're talking with Brendan Carr.
But this this was, I mean my favorite and I
think you may have quote tweeted. This was this map
that that Secretary boota Judge put out about the largest
infrastructure investment and he was I guess like they had

(01:36:50):
dots that were supposed to be where all the people
were being connected, and that never happened. And that was
that's been quite some time ago. That has it's never happened.
What's going to happen to the money? I mean, they
don't have a lot of time left in this administration's tenure.
Are they going to just throw it all together and
find what are they going to do at forty two
billion dollars? It's a lot.

Speaker 16 (01:37:10):
Yeah, this thing has just really gone off the rails.
And if you look at the state official that had been
trying to work with the five Harris administration, again Harris
is one leading this particular initiative. They are describing it
as dysfunctional, as delay, as advice being given one day,
countermanded the next day, no advice given at all.

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):
It's a total mess.

Speaker 16 (01:37:31):
Right now, they're saying there won't be a single shovels
worth of dirt that turns this year. They're saying maybe
it'll happen next year at the earliest. And so we're
looking at just years of additional delay. Again, already over
a thousand days. This makes it the slowest moving federal
broadband initiative that I'm aware of. And yet people are
still out there trying to cut you know, great headlines

(01:37:52):
about Vice President Harris leading the way on this.

Speaker 4 (01:37:55):
What is the hold up to this? Because I know
what the ev charging stations one of the stories that
came out as a lot of the DEI stuff. They
had all the contractors and all the people that were
providing even just like the supplies and doing the work
and you know, whatever it takes to build these charging stations.
They had to check all of these DEI boxes, which
apparently even in the Department of Transportation they were saying

(01:38:17):
was just really uh, I mean, this was it was
just unnecessary labor. It was just ridiculous box checking to do.
This is the same thing maybe also at play here.

Speaker 16 (01:38:27):
Yeah, you're right, it's the exact same story. Rather than
just quickly connecting people, they've taken at one thousand plus
days to adopt DEI requirements. They're pushing a climate change agenda,
preferences for government run networks and union labor. They're doing,
you know, hiring preferences all over the place. And again,
you know, let's get rid of this progressive policy agenda.

(01:38:49):
If you want to push it, fine, push it somewhere.
It's have a debate about it. When it comes to
people that are stuck on the wrong side of the
digital divide, we're really going to spend time with a
climate change agenda, pushing DEI preferences. So that is a
big piece of how this has gone so far off track.

Speaker 4 (01:39:04):
One last question for it kind of kind of brings
maybe some of it, all of it together. Talking with
Brendan Carr the FCC, are we going to see a
fairness doctrine reintroduced.

Speaker 16 (01:39:15):
Well, look, if you go back historically, I think the
fairness doctrine was not very fair to conservatives in terms
of how the government applied it. And so my position
has been, you know, more speech, more debate. The trend
recently has been towards government. So whether it's here or
Brazil or other places censoring free speech, I think that's
the opposite of where we need to go. We as

(01:39:35):
a brink, as a culture need to support this, you know,
robust exchange of ideas. I think that's the better approach.

Speaker 4 (01:39:44):
Yeah, instead of jailing the people who are making or
purchasing the platforms to help facilitate it, like the guy
with telegram and now we're hearing that on another they're working,
they're going to just go ahead and give up people's
information as well if asked. Scary times we live and
we appreciate you fight on behalf of free speech. Brennan
car with FCC, thank you so much for your time.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (01:40:18):
Senator, you have.

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
Stood firmly behind Israel, But do you agree with any
part of what your colleague, Senator Sanders said there.

Speaker 2 (01:40:27):
Now?

Speaker 17 (01:40:28):
Not at all, And I want to be very clear.
I thought what Israel chose to do about blowing up
the pagers and then walkie talkies and then after targeting
and eliminating membership and leadership of Hezbolah. I absolutely support that.
In in fact, if anything, I love it. And Israel

(01:40:48):
demonstrated that they will not allow terrorists not to be
held accountable and I fully support that, and it's not
about nothing that has what my colleague has said.

Speaker 4 (01:40:59):
Yeah, so, uh, he's he's got a hoodie pass. See
I like that. Why can't all Democrats sound like that?
Why why's he got to be the only one that
makes sense on this? You know, I kind of want
to intervene here and tie just a small knot in
each of the strings on the side of his hoodie
because I noticed on that hoodie it wasn't knotted and
so when he washes it, that string's going to disappear,

(01:41:21):
and it's going to be just annoying to get that
out as like as a kindness, you know, for we're just
talking sense, I'd like to, you know, I just got
to intervene real quick, like, you know, make sure you
put an on that strings so it doesn't disappear beside
your hoodie. Like, ma, sure, so he's got the hoodie
pass on that he's like, In fact, I think I
love it. You knew that they were just that you
couldn't see the anchors faces or the producers saying, but

(01:41:44):
you knew that. They were just going, oh when he
said that, you knew it, you knew it. They were
just shocked that he said it.

Speaker 8 (01:41:50):
I mean cut twenty was another moment he had with
the same interviewer, which I thought was pretty.

Speaker 4 (01:41:56):
And twenty two, yeah, I know that one. I was
gonna say, Okay, do twenty. Then you have Fetterman as
your today's stupidity.

Speaker 8 (01:42:04):
I do only because he doubled out after doing what
we're about to play.

Speaker 4 (01:42:09):
Now, okay, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:42:11):
I know you've talked about this quite a bit. Vice
President Harris, as you know, once supported a ban on
fracking when she was running for president in twenty twenty.
She even sued the Obama administration to prevent fracking off
California's coast. Now she says she will not ban the
practice as president. Why should voters trust that that is

(01:42:32):
really what the vice president believes?

Speaker 2 (01:42:35):
So strange?

Speaker 17 (01:42:36):
Why we just keep talking about fracking now? Back in
twenty twenty, I said that that might be an issue,
but it's not going to be a defining issue. And
now in twenty twenty four, we're still trying to talk
about fracking, and now the other side they're talking about
eating cats and geese and dogs and saying absurd things
and talking about how if Trump doesn't win, he said that,

(01:42:56):
you know, you have to blame the Jews on that
and just absurd things now, like having a serious policy
conversation when.

Speaker 4 (01:43:03):
Leasing Okay, So he started off so good, and he
just doesn't want to be He does not want to
have to be pitted against Kamala Harris and talking about
the fracking thing, because that's a big that's a problem,
that's a problem for her. She has that record, that
is a problem for her.

Speaker 8 (01:43:20):
We can play twenty two if you want. I still
have so much stupidity.

Speaker 4 (01:43:24):
I can't believe I can I just say that he
gets the hoodie pass to at least because he was
talking right about the Hamas stuff. Okay, I'm sorry, this
makes me sad. It's like, go ahead, good.

Speaker 3 (01:43:34):
Nineteen no questions for for Senator Lindsey Graham. There's no
doubt about that. But to the point, what do you
now like about fracking? You say you're not going to
ban it, you support it.

Speaker 17 (01:43:46):
Now they're eating dogs, they're eating catsy, you know again,
So okay, yes, and anymore, unfracking, I think.

Speaker 3 (01:43:59):
We ask you about the Middle East. Actually, let's move on.

Speaker 4 (01:44:02):
Cool. Wait and he goes any more on frank and
she's like, well, I want to ask you about the
Middle Astatama, I mean, I guess that's one way to
avoid being pitted against the top of the ticket on
your party, you know. I mean, I'll give him credit.
I think he's playing dumb right there, so I'm not
going to be totally ignorant to him because he's in
a rock and a hard place and Democrats have been
kind of mean to him because he hates terrorists and

(01:44:24):
they just they like terrorists. So I don't know, uh,
but that's pretty wild, all right, folks. That does it
for us today. We're gonna be back together tomorrow. Make
