The media tries to cover their own butt by doing a complete about-face from defending Biden to asking questions about his fitness for office. Meanwhile, news reports say Biden doesn’t receive any bad news in his daily briefings to make him upset while Kamala Harris doesn’t read her briefings at all.

Dana Lashes of Search Truth podcast sponsoredby Celtech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida man. So video shows cops tracking
down a Florida man who tried toevade arrest by swimming to a small island.
(00:22):
Wasn't going to happen. How manytimes do we have to talk about
us where they try to swim awayand it ends up not happening because you
just you're not gonna do that.It's not gonna happen. So this had
to do with this was in PortOrange and bodycam footage south of Daytona Beach.
Officers went out to confront Durrell Joiner, who was that by the Inner
(00:45):
Coastal Waterway. He had called policejust like earlier and dared them to arrest
him. And then police after searchingthe islands, they said they found Joiners
sleeping instead of a green tent,ordered him to keep his hands up as
they opened the tent and they go, what's the problem, And he demanded
and he was asking officers what's theproblem, what's the problem, and they
(01:07):
were like, you literally wanted uswhat's going on? Anyway, he looked
really drunk and there was. Yeah, it's all on It's all on camera.
This is all on camera. Thisis so crazy. Let's see here
this todd Oh my gosh, AFlorida man left a toddler at the roadside
after a suspected carjacking in a carseat. Place say, the woman clung
(01:27):
to over the car, her sether child was inside as the car was
as the car sped away. Thiscame from the Miami New Times and so
if Florida man was arrested after hecarjacked this mom and Broward County Sheriff arrested
the thirty five year old after ananonymous tip identified him as the person leaving
the three year old in a carseat on the side of the road in
Fort Lauderdale, and he was bookedinto the main jail bso's main jail.
(01:52):
Kidnapping, carjacking, interfering with thecustody of a minor, all of that
stuff. And it occurred at eightthirty in the morning, so thankfully it
wasn't like right when the sun washottest. But what happened was the mother
and her daughter were involved in acar crash with another vehicle, and it
was when the mom got out toexchange information that with the other driver that
a man literally jumped in her carand drove off. So it wasn't like
(02:13):
she left her car running with thedoor wide open and went inside for several
minutes. You know, wasn't anythinglike that. So thankfully, the baby's
okay, but good night. That'sterrifying this. A Florida correctional officer called
nine one wanted to complain about beingcited for repeatedly honking his horn. Douglas
Morse said he allegedly said he washonking his horn because it makes him drive
(02:37):
faster, and he got a citationfor it. You can't get a citation
if you honk your horn too much, excessive noise maybe, I mean,
I guess so. But he waslike, it makes me drive faster when
I honk it. You know,I would imagine that is true because people
get out of your way. Iwould think that, you know. The
after he got sited, the deputysaid, Morse became angry and abusive and
(02:58):
then called line. Would want tocomplain about it, and that's when you
got arrested because you can't make falsereports to nine one one. I why
would you do that and get Idon't know. Why would you get lippy
like that when you're getting pulled overand then calling one one right because you
know that that's illegal if you're callingnine one one right in front. I
mean, good grief. Let's seehere this a Florida man bank robber handed
(03:21):
a note to a bank teller demandingone cent. It's a villages and it's
a villages us. This guy's bythe way, his mugshot is man.
I included it. His name isMichael Fleming. Okay, he's forty one,
(03:42):
so I guess he was in thevillages. But you can't be of
the villages because he's not old enoughto be in the villages, right.
I don't well, yeah, butI don't. I think that you got
like a time limit on how muchyou can We've had this whole conversation before,
so anyway, a bank robbery suspectwas arrested. He handed a teller
a note demanding one whole cent acent, and the teller was like a
(04:02):
cent withdrawal is not possible, andhe goes, so you want me to
say the other word? And theteller was like what And deputies arrived at
the bank. Fleming was still inthe building. He was taken into custody.
He has no criminal history. Hewas arrested under charge of robbery and
five thousand dollars bond. So well, I don't understand that, and that's
(04:23):
where the story ends. I don'tunderstand this one cent, Like are you
just trying to get did he thinkthat he was that he wouldn't go to
jail if it was one set,Like, that's not a felony though,
I mean, yeah, and itwas a note. I would like one
cent, what is that? Iagree with Annie Oakley who said quote,
I would like to see every womanknow how to handle guns as naturally as
(04:46):
they know how to handle babies.Now, I myself regularly concealed carry and
I'm millimeter Now that's said. Notevery woman is like me, has had
the hours of training that I've had, or it feels comfortable around firearms due
to years of use, or maybethey're by a gun free zone. I'd
like to change that what I can, while encouraging self defense at the same
time. So this is where burnacomes in. It's kind of like a
starter weapon. It's they make anon firearm firearm. I like the idea
(05:10):
of incredible force sending chemical irritants towardsa threat as an additional option for women,
and the Berna SD model shoots chemicalirritant projectiles sixty eight caliber rounds that
can deter threats in their tracks upto fifty feet away. I mean it
is hard, easy target acquisition,zero recoil. Berna is legal in all
(05:31):
fifty states. There's no background checks, no permits required, and shipped directly
to your door. Gun free isn'tapplicable to Berna. It's great for wherever
guns are banned. Visit burna dotcom slash data for ten percent off.
That's b y r Ina dot comslash data. Is anyone in the White
(05:53):
House hiding information about the president's healthor his ability to do the job day
today? Absolutely, given the factthat it's more than a bad night when
his political future is present, wouldhe be willing to provide more medical information?
Would he be willing to have doctorO'Connor provide more to answer these questions?
(06:17):
Look certainly understand the question, appreciatethe question. But what we have
provided has been very transparent. Ithas been has been watched. But February
February was this year, It wasn'ttoo long ago. It was indeed this
year, and we were we were, we provided transparent report for many Americans
who were concerned about his capacity.Oh my gosh, I can't even deal
(06:44):
Notice the press, first off,welcome back Dan Elisha with you. Notice
the prices. So they're like,wait, we can ask these we can
ask these questions again, guys,hurry up, let's ask these questions to
pretend like we've been asking them allalong. So can you tell us Karne
uh the president disease? Is hedoing his day to day job? Because
you know it came out yesterday thathe has a daily nap. There's like
(07:06):
so many leaks coming right now.I can't. I've just I feel like
a drunk gold digger in the middleof a waterfall. Just ah, just
like taking everything in my pan.I don't even know how to deal with
this. Kane O popcorn, Danny, you should take the Sarah's lights about
the future of our country? Haveyou met me? So? I love
(07:31):
first off that the media is like, oh, it's where the reporters us.
Now we get it because they haven'tdone any of this. Look at
how hysterical they are. They're runningaround the newsrooms in disarray. They're probably
knocking each other down because they're sodesperate to make it look like they've been
reporting on this all along. Lookat them show up with their pencil tuck
behind their ears. So you're tellingus, Karen, wait, who the
(07:55):
hell is you? Where did youstart asking questions? You've been silent four
years. For four years, you'vebeen quiet. Now all of a sudden,
you're asking questions because you see thepower shifting. They go where the
power is, right, they gowhere the power is That's like, that's
like Talladega Knights when Ricky Bobby losthis wife and she's like, I go
(08:18):
with the rice car driver. Igo with him. Like when Ricky got
into his accident before his daddy rehabilitatedhim with a Puma in the backseat,
right, and he ended up losinghis wife, and she went with the
other that travels follows power. Themedia is just like that. They're like
Ricky Bobby's wife from Talladega Knights.They follow power. So now they're going
(08:39):
to start asking questions. They seethese leaks coming out. That's a signal
to them, Oh, it's okayto start asking these things. Now we
can start asking these questions. M. Yes, that's so as anyone hiding
information like this audio soundboy two,listen to these questions. Now listen.
I'm gonna absolutely delicate, and youmay not like it. The President may
(09:03):
not like to hear it if it'swatching, But I think the American people
need to get a yes or noanswer on this. Oh does President Biden
at eighty one years old have Alzheimer's? Oh my god, in that form
of dementia or degenerative illness that causedthese sorts of lapses. And it's a
yes or no question. And ifyou don't know, why don't you,
(09:26):
as one of his senior staff membersknow, he's your answers for you?
Are you ready for It's a no, And I hope you're asking the other
guy the same exact question. Ohso there, listen to it, there
there, Please don't beat us.I'm going to ask this question because we
got the green light that it's okayto ask it. Now, Please don't
kill us. Is it okay?Korean? Like he's flinching, like he's,
(09:50):
you know, waiting, he's waitingto get hit. These people are
rat bastards, you know why?Because they didn't ask a single one of
these questions for four years. Theyknew they're culpable in it. I saw
this tweet from what is it?Big Tat over at seeing it? He
was seeing it anymore? Yeah,yeah, yeah, sorry, he goes.
I swear to you. He tweetedus hands to sky, big Tater
(10:13):
spending geees. He's tweeted my humblemessage for everyone enraged at the news media
right now, the crisis of faithand Biden's capabilities as not a media creation.
Democratic Party officials are the ones drivingthis conversation. I'm sorry, Hold
up here, Tat, hold up. Let's pull this prius over for a
(10:33):
second. Have a little combo.What do you mean that the crisis of
faith in his capabilities is not amedia creation? Are you kidding me?
You fluffers hit it for four years. You hit it for four You didn't
hide it. We all saw it, and we all asked questions. And
what y'all do? You called usconspiracy theorists, You called us names,
(10:54):
You said that we were making funof his stutter, you said all these
things. I mean, surely y'allremember this, because I remember it just
as claire as day. I meanit literally, a couple of weeks ago
the Washington Post, when the WhiteHouse, when Karine Jean Pierre forgot that
(11:15):
it was deep fake and called itcheap fake. They gave four pinocchios to
these videos that showed by I mean, clearly Biden is about to defecate his
drawers, right, He's like barelycognizant of where he is, and it
gave it dismissed. In fact,here what it was. It was a
(11:37):
quote pernicious effort to reinforce an existingstereotype. Washington Post was telling everyone that
you were lying, and they gaveyou these little cutie pinocchios. You get
a pinocchio, you're gonna get akick in the butt. Can give me
a pinocchio. This is true.We all see this. We see him,
We see him falling down on flatsurfaces, not really remembering where he
(12:00):
is, calling on dead people atevents that have been dead for quite some
time. We see all of this, and y'all were saying just two weeks
ago, oh, well, youknow you you're gonna have to get four
pinocchios. I mean, they're leadingpeople with cheap here's the headline, cheap
fake Biden videos and rapture, right, wing media, but deeply mislead.
This was the Washington Post two weeksago. A particularly effective attack on a
(12:26):
political candidate can come in the formof a video snippet that appears to reinforce
an existing stereotype. The social mediafeed of the r n C regularly turns
out misleading clips of President Biden intendedto show that he is too old for
the job. Oh and they keepgoing. They quote White House Deputy our
White House Press Secretary Andrew Bates sayingthat, well, you know, abortually
(12:50):
some were President Biden's right, whencritics don't respect their readers. They're basically
saying that, you know, there, you're all stupid. And then they
add in their pinocchios tests the theuse of these clips is an especially pernicious
couple a couple of examples of manipulatedvideo. Could you use more like bad
grammar? Thank you? What welabel isolation under our guide to manipulated video
(13:11):
because it's intended to create a falsenarrative bubba. So now they're like,
well, wait a minute, whyis no one asking about this? The
same people hands to sky are nowasking, well, why no one's asking
about this? I mean, thisis now there were some let me pull
this up. I have so manyexamples for you. We could be here
legit all day. Oh I came, I came ready today. I may
(13:33):
come ready every day, but Iwas I was just eating all the popcorn
that we have in Texas watching allthis stuff. So now what they're saying
is is, well, you know, one of the reasons maybe perhaps we
were hesitant to report on this isbecause you're talking about old age is very
delicate. I don't care about that. When you're talking about the eggs,
(13:54):
you're talking about the White House.You're not talking about sitting Grandma down and
asking her if she's too old todrive any more. It's a completely different
scenario. This is the leader ofthe free world, the largest, most
powerful nation on God's green Earth,and you're afraid to ask tough questions because
you think that talking about old ageand political office is just delicate. Then
(14:18):
you're too delicate for your damn job, because you're not there to be delegate.
You're supposed to be the attack dogon behalf of voters, the watchdog
on behalf of voters. You're notsupposed to be limping around like a beaten
animal too terrified to ask your politicalbetters questions that you're supposed to be asking
by very nature of the creation ofyour industry. These people are all culpable.
(14:43):
I do not let a single oneof the moth hook. I'm not
going to give them kudos for justnow. Oh well, wow, so
and so Jake Jaberberts, you know, was asking some tough questions. So
and so kaylo O'donald's asking some toughquo. They were all in on this
until like two weeks ago. Thisdidn't change until they saw the signal coming
down, the batsig coming down fromthe White House along guy looks like he
might be on his way out hereof the might be withdrawn from the race.
(15:07):
Then only then did they feel thatit was safe for them to do
their jobs. And they're only doingit so that they can position themselves to
be adjacent to the next person withpower. That is the only reason they're
doing this. I mean, thefact that stuff like this has been hill
hid for so long, and thefact that they attacked all of us when
(15:28):
we brought it up. It's thegreat Biden cover up, you know.
Like for instance, Pro Publica releasedthis interview wherein it was an unedited interview
that they just released yesterday. Thisinterview was conducted nine months ago. Why
(15:50):
are they now releasing an unedited interviewof Biden that was conducted nine months ago.
Well, they said, quote,we believe it is worth giving the
public another chance to see one ofBiden's infrequent conversations with a reporter. No,
you didn't the first interview. Thefirst time you released this interview,
it was all edited and it wasvery short, and now he has all
(16:11):
of his flaws and his blemishes init. And you did it to add
to this note. You did itto cover your ass. You did it
to make it look like you're beinghonest and transparent with the reader. Pro
Public, a left leaning site youprovd us and then you have listen to
this. Susan Glasser, who's withNew York Magazine, tweets, well,
(16:32):
this is such a key point.You know, where were all of these
folks when Biden's decision to run againcould have been headed off, when so
many took a pass on thinking aboutthe implications of someone asking for a second
term that would have him serving toage eighty six. Where were you?
I just gave you the example ofWashington post two weeks ago, calling us
liars, giving us four pinocchios.You guys were calling us conspiracy theorists,
(16:53):
all of you. You were sayingthat it was right wing narrative. All
of you. You were saying thatit was cruel, that we were mocking
his stutter, or that we werejust trying to deflect from Trump or whatever
or whatever. Now again, nowthey're only admitting that everything that we've seen
for the past four years is true, because it was impossible to say that
(17:14):
it was a deep fake or acheap fake. To watch Bidenstein side by
side with Trump, a guy who'salmost his age at a debate. It's
not an issue of age, It'san issue of cognitive health, and that
was put on clear display. Imean, you had two similarly aged dudes
who were on the stage and onlyone of them really knew where he was.
(17:36):
All these people are right there withit. I mean, this coming
from a semaphore stick Jill Abramson,these NBC people telling semaphore. The Biden
Whitehouse clearly succeeded in a massive coverup to the degree of presidents of the
president's feebleness and his serious physical decline. You got this in the newsletter that
(17:56):
went out last night. They literallysaid this. They were That's what Jill
Abramson told Semaphore the news outlet.They they this is crazy. Semophore wrote,
quote, It's clear the best newsreporters in Washington have failed in the
first duty of journalism to hold poweraccountable, to find out the truth.
(18:18):
The Biden White House clearly succeeded ina massive cover up to the no no,
no, no one, no one, no one. They did not
cover it up. You covered itup. You could have reported on it.
They don't have the power to coverit up. You do, and
you ramp bastards in the press coveredit up, just like you covered up
the censorship with the White House andsocial media, just like you covered up
(18:40):
everything that Fauci was doing, Justlike you covered up the fact that masks
didn't work and the injections did notactually transfer immunity, Just like you covered
up how the Russian collusion story wasabsolutely fake, and that you knew that
all of these intelligence officials that signedonto this letter were lying, and that
they signed onto the letter knowing thatthey were lying. You covered that up
(19:02):
time and time and time again.You are not the victim. You are
part of the problem, and insome instances you are worse. We expect
this of Marxist politicians. But aswe approach Independence Day, I'll have our
so called free rat bastard press.Remember that this country was founded on the
(19:22):
sacredness of the free press, whichthey spit on the legacy of which they
spit on every single day. Theydon't do their due diligence, and they
have the audacity to turn on thepeople whom they are supposed to report for,
to turn on the people from whomthis government gets its authority by way
of consent, to turn on thevery people, to turn against the animating
(19:48):
spirit of liberty that made this nationso amazing. They're really truly responsible in
all of this. And now allof the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quick five.Why are we doing this? So?
The US is going to pay madernaone hundred and seventy six million dollars to
develop an m are in a pandemicflu quote unquote vaccine. Why are we
(20:14):
doing this again? They want toaccelerate it because of the bird flu concerns.
Sorry, I'm just not really feelingthe bird flu thing. Let's see,
this is a lot so student loanborrowers, oh one point six trillion
dollars, and nearly half of themmarn't paint. Now. Remember this was
(20:36):
made so much more expensive by Democrats, and I think they did it as
a way to get more revenue intothe government just for that. Because they
took everything over, they decided toenrich themselves and enrich these colleges and universities
on top. That's all this is. So they said that that's this three
year timeout on federal student loan paymentsbecause of the pandemic. Millions of borrowers
(20:59):
have not been repaying it. You'relooking at what half of I mean,
that's what that's eight hundred billion dollars. Oh my cow. Michelle Obama.
People are booking her, are countingon her with to maybe become president.
They're saying that her chances surge withbookmakers via Newsweek. I just don't see
(21:22):
this happening. I don't. I'mgonna move on from this. Tim Burton's
Beetle Juice Beetlejuice the sequel is goingto open the Venice Film Festival, which
is so incredibly, so incredibly fitting, and I like Tim Burton, and
I like Danny Almans, so I'mgonna go see these Obviously, I'm totally
gonna go see this movie. Higoth kid saying, but Michael Keaton went
on a writer, Catherine or Haara, They're all in it. Monica Balucci
(21:44):
is in it, well into Foeis in it, super excited about all
that. And it doesn't look superwoke either. He doesn't. Tim Burton
doesn't really do woke. And theytry to get at him before on that,
and he just sort of slapped themall away and was like, blank
you I got blank you cred bye. So I respect that. Also,
Walmart and Walmart was evacuated and severalwere sickened after a foul odor permeated a
(22:04):
Pennsylvania store. It was in LowerNazareth, Pennsylvania. Shoppers had to be
evacuated. They said that nine peoplewere taken to the hospital. Apparently it
was animal repellent that had been returnedby a customer. Oh boy, first
of all, Stephen who we agreed. There's a long list of Democrats.
Kamala Harris, A Gavin Newsom,a Gretchen Whitmer. The list goes on
(22:29):
and on and on. You've namedfour or five people, where is their
consensus. You've got to build consensus, and there is not consensus right now.
If you pick a white man overKamala Harris black women, I can
tell you this, we're gonna walkaway. We're gonna blow the party up.
Mm. So that is a Californiadelegate who's saying that if Democrats choose
(22:52):
a white man to replace Biden overKamala Harris, and that's they're not gonna
do. They're not gonna they're notgonna go out and support I don't know
if I believe that to be true, because Kamala Harris was the least supported
even amongst black voters in the Democratprimaries, of all of the candidates and
the Democrat primaries. So there's justnot a lot of there's not a lot
of receipts there that make me believeher. Welcome back to the program,
(23:15):
Dana Lash here with you. We'reat the top of this second hour and
a very weird, very weird IndependenceEve because of all of the blow ups
with the Democrat Party. And youcan listen coast to coast. You can
stream the radio program and watch thesimulcast as well on Channel three forty seven
Direct TV. You can find uson x Rumble. There's always a discussion
in Rumble. They have the mcgroincrew in the Rumble discussion today. So
(23:41):
always, always fun, always joined. So this delegate, I just I
don't think I'm I don't think I'mbeing dismissive and saying that I just don't
believe her, simply because I don'tbelieve that it didn't that didn't happen when
she was having when she had todrop out of the primary debate. But
(24:03):
also I just feel like that's soone sided and hypocritical. I mean,
I'm all for Democrats, you know, tearing each other up. I mean
I'm you know, they have allof these different identity groups and they played
them too long, and now here'sthe consequence. But let's not forget that
they had a white woman step asidefor a black man coming from Illinois.
So I'm just saying, you know, Hillary Clinton was told to step aside
(24:26):
for Barack Obama, and that createda lot of tension within that party,
and it created a lot of problemsthat we're all still dealing with today.
So let's be kind of realistic aboutsome of this further, She's I don't
trust people. I have a hardtime trusting politicians, especially if they have
no record and they've never been governor. I always default to governors. If
there's a governor run in against likea senator or a Rep. I tend
(24:48):
a default to a governor unless it'slike a bunch of people that I don't
like and like Doug Bergram, andthen that's not gonna happen, or a
bunch of like senators or reps,and then Doug Burgram not gonna happen.
But this idea and she and rememberthis has been co signed by James Cliburn.
He had the shot across the bow. He's saying that he's going to
(25:10):
support I'm going to play this onemore time. Audio sound bite six.
This is this statement right now isthe biggest statement in the Democrat primary.
Listen to this. I will supporther if he were to step aside,
but I'm want to support her goingforward. Sometime in the future. I
want this ticket to continue to beBiden Harris, and then we'll see what
(25:33):
happens after the next election. SoI say this, Remember we've talked about
this. He made Joe Biden presidentJoe Biden wouldn't be president without James Cliburn.
James Cliburn is now trying to usehis muscle to send a shot across
the bow saying, look, you'renot going to be replacing Kamala Harris.
The problem is Kamala Harris doesn't havelikability. She is not a likable candidate.
She doesn't seem genuine, and there'snothing that James Cliburn can do to
(25:56):
offset her deficiencies as a candidate.Those are her deficiencies that have nothing to
do with sex, or race,ethnicity, or anything else. They're just
her deficiencies as a candidate. Nowin the meantime, they're having a Democrat
Governor's call today. The reporting wasthat Newsom, Gavin Newsom flew to DC
(26:17):
because he definitely wants to be considerednumber one. He's put in a lot
of time, I don't know what. And that's the other thing. Kamala
Harris doesn't really have a record torun on borders are I mean, that's
the biggest thing that she was assignedthat would tank her itself because there are
so many Democrats that are livid overwhat's been happening at the border. But
if it's going to be somebody likeGavin Newsom, and we'll talk about this
(26:38):
in war, should this, youknow, end up being the reality.
If it's somebody like Gavin Newsom,you need to consider all of the baggage
that he has. And we talkedabout some of it yesterday. But I
haven't even gotten into the high speedrail. I haven't even gotten into the
water, you know, desalination plan, none of that. I mean,
it's horrific. So that's a wholeother topic of discussion that you know,
if he becomes a nominee, we'lltalk about her. If it looks likely,
(26:59):
we'll talk more about But this isa problem that democrats. Democrats created
it. I think that Biden's peoplebelieved that they were going to be able
to use him as the avatar fortheir agenda, and that he would I
I'm trying to figure out how toput this. That he would last through
(27:21):
a second term? Does that makesense? And the reason I say this,
and I was going back and forthand if I wanted to have like
a ton of different videos over thespan of the past four years showing the
I mean, you guys know,I don't need to you know, beat
a dead horse, and at somepoint, even though I think he deserves
it because of his petty nature allthrough the years, at some point for
(27:41):
me it feels cruel because it's allthese clips are so bad when you start
to play them success successfully or successfullylike this, they're just so bad.
But I mean, it's very clearin the like even in twenty eighteen when
he was like hinting about running andthen you had the midterms, he was
so much more with it twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, and then he clearly
had an episode and then it justgot worse from there because remember, a
(28:04):
cognitive decline like this is a slowdecline. It doesn't happen. You don't
go to sleep in the wake upand you're cognitively impaired like this. So
this was happening for a long time. My point in saying that is that
all of these people around him hadmore than enough time to say, you
know, he's not ready to dothis again, he can't do or he
can't do this again. This isn'tyou can't have it now. The excuses
(28:27):
are still coming. Did you noticehe was orange the other day? He
was orange yesterday. There was ameme going around where Biden was looking at
Trump going I'm the orange Man.Now. You know, the whole can't
remember what movie that was with TomHanks, and they got that boat got
captured. Yeah, so they Igotta put this up Politico. Biden family
(28:52):
also blames CNN for bad makeup again. They said that he was too pale.
Now all of a sudden, he'scompletely orange. He was as orange
as the day is long, andthat seemed very weird. It's very weird.
They're just they're all freaking out.The whole White House is freaking out.
Democrats are turning. Here's the otherstory I was telling you. Democrats
(29:15):
staffers are absolutely terrified. This isall coming, you know, to a
head. They're terrified of him,this story. Kamala doesn't read her daily
briefings, it says, and JoeBiden's staff the quote was scared sless of
him, terrified of him because he'sso mean and so crabby. That's the
(29:41):
real Joe, by the way,it said. A former underlining of Kamala
Harris says she routinely refused to reviewbriefing materials and would scold employees when she
appeared unprepared. They said that shewas a workplace bully, and that more
staffers are considering leaving her office.Four top aides two Harris will exit in
the span of about a month.And they said staff are leaving because they're
(30:03):
burnt out and they don't want tobe permanently branded a Harris person. Axios
reported and among those leaving are SimoneSanders, her chief spokesperson. So they
also Peter Villa as director of pressoperations, and another staffer. So they're
saying she didn't read any of this. Biden's briefings are curated for him so
(30:27):
that he doesn't receive information that willset him off. And this is an
associated press piece. This is wild. Yeah, decencies back in the White
(30:48):
House. Our associated press is theAxios piece. A lot of the leaks
are coming from Axios, which Ithink Axios in political, which I think
is interesting. So Biden's staff they'rescared of him, the terrified of him.
They don't want they want to curatehis stuff because they don't want him
to get bad news. And itkeeps coming. Yeah, this is the
(31:10):
Politico piece. We've all enabled thesituation. As the headline, DIM's turn
on Biden's Inner sanctum post debate,his senior team management are getting more strictly
controlled. This is so devastating thislisten. One official said, quote,
you can't include that talking about informationthat will set him off, or put
(31:36):
in that, or put that inbecause he likes that. It's a roar
shock test, not a briefing,because he is not a pleasant person to
be around when he's being briefed.It's very difficult. People are scared sless
of him. That end quote.That's what they said. They said,
he doesn't take another quote another official, he doesn't take advice from anyone other
than those few top aids. Andit becomes a perfect storm because he just
(31:59):
gets more and more isolated from theirefforts to control it. Wow, So
he doesn't get fully brief because heonly wants good news. And then Kamala
doesn't read it at all. Andthey said that he also gets naps.
Don't forget the nap. Yeah,they said his debate preps started at eleven
(32:25):
am and then he had a nap. So he had a full hour and
then he had a nap. NewYork Times Biden lapses are said to be
increasingly common and worrisome. These areall stories that have just come out in
the past twenty four hours. I'mnot even kidding you. It is a
waterfall right now, they said.People have spent this in New York Times.
People have spent time with Biden overthe past few months or so,
(32:47):
said, the lapses have grown morefrequent, more pronounced, and more worrisome.
Ooh ooh, and then he getsyou know, the nap times.
Now they're saying, oh, yeah, he works, He works a couple
hours, takes an app, worksa couple hours. Oh my gosh,
this is just it's so bad.It's so bad. Thanks for tuning in

Dana Lashes of Search Truth podcast sponsoredby Celtech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida man. So video shows cops tracking
down a Florida man who tried toevade arrest by swimming to a small island.
(00:22):
Wasn't going to happen. How manytimes do we have to talk about
us where they try to swim awayand it ends up not happening because you
just you're not gonna do that.It's not gonna happen. So this had
to do with this was in PortOrange and bodycam footage south of Daytona Beach.
Officers went out to confront Durrell Joiner, who was that by the Inner
(00:45):
Coastal Waterway. He had called policejust like earlier and dared them to arrest
him. And then police after searchingthe islands, they said they found Joiners
sleeping instead of a green tent,ordered him to keep his hands up as
they opened the tent and they go, what's the problem, And he demanded
and he was asking officers what's theproblem, what's the problem, and they
(01:07):
were like, you literally wanted uswhat's going on? Anyway, he looked
really drunk and there was. Yeah, it's all on It's all on camera.
This is all on camera. Thisis so crazy. Let's see here
this todd Oh my gosh, AFlorida man left a toddler at the roadside
after a suspected carjacking in a carseat. Place say, the woman clung
(01:27):
to over the car, her sether child was inside as the car was
as the car sped away. Thiscame from the Miami New Times and so
if Florida man was arrested after hecarjacked this mom and Broward County Sheriff arrested
the thirty five year old after ananonymous tip identified him as the person leaving
the three year old in a carseat on the side of the road in
Fort Lauderdale, and he was bookedinto the main jail bso's main jail.
(01:52):
Kidnapping, carjacking, interfering with thecustody of a minor, all of that
stuff. And it occurred at eightthirty in the morning, so thankfully it
wasn't like right when the sun washottest. But what happened was the mother
and her daughter were involved in acar crash with another vehicle, and it
was when the mom got out toexchange information that with the other driver that
a man literally jumped in her carand drove off. So it wasn't like
(02:13):
she left her car running with thedoor wide open and went inside for several
minutes. You know, wasn't anythinglike that. So thankfully, the baby's
okay, but good night. That'sterrifying this. A Florida correctional officer called
nine one wanted to complain about beingcited for repeatedly honking his horn. Douglas
Morse said he allegedly said he washonking his horn because it makes him drive
(02:37):
faster, and he got a citationfor it. You can't get a citation
if you honk your horn too much, excessive noise maybe, I mean,
I guess so. But he waslike, it makes me drive faster when
I honk it. You know,I would imagine that is true because people
get out of your way. Iwould think that, you know. The
after he got sited, the deputysaid, Morse became angry and abusive and
(02:58):
then called line. Would want tocomplain about it, and that's when you
got arrested because you can't make falsereports to nine one one. I why
would you do that and get Idon't know. Why would you get lippy
like that when you're getting pulled overand then calling one one right because you
know that that's illegal if you're callingnine one one right in front. I
mean, good grief. Let's seehere this a Florida man bank robber handed
(03:21):
a note to a bank teller demandingone cent. It's a villages and it's
a villages us. This guy's bythe way, his mugshot is man.
I included it. His name isMichael Fleming. Okay, he's forty one,
(03:42):
so I guess he was in thevillages. But you can't be of
the villages because he's not old enoughto be in the villages, right.
I don't well, yeah, butI don't. I think that you got
like a time limit on how muchyou can We've had this whole conversation before,
so anyway, a bank robbery suspectwas arrested. He handed a teller
a note demanding one whole cent acent, and the teller was like a
(04:02):
cent withdrawal is not possible, andhe goes, so you want me to
say the other word? And theteller was like what And deputies arrived at
the bank. Fleming was still inthe building. He was taken into custody.
He has no criminal history. Hewas arrested under charge of robbery and
five thousand dollars bond. So well, I don't understand that, and that's
(04:23):
where the story ends. I don'tunderstand this one cent, Like are you
just trying to get did he thinkthat he was that he wouldn't go to
jail if it was one set,Like, that's not a felony though,
I mean, yeah, and itwas a note. I would like one
cent, what is that? Iagree with Annie Oakley who said quote,
I would like to see every womanknow how to handle guns as naturally as
(04:46):
they know how to handle babies.Now, I myself regularly concealed carry and
I'm millimeter Now that's said. Notevery woman is like me, has had
the hours of training that I've had, or it feels comfortable around firearms due
to years of use, or maybethey're by a gun free zone. I'd
like to change that what I can, while encouraging self defense at the same
time. So this is where burnacomes in. It's kind of like a
starter weapon. It's they make anon firearm firearm. I like the idea
(05:10):
of incredible force sending chemical irritants towardsa threat as an additional option for women,
and the Berna SD model shoots chemicalirritant projectiles sixty eight caliber rounds that
can deter threats in their tracks upto fifty feet away. I mean it
is hard, easy target acquisition,zero recoil. Berna is legal in all
(05:31):
fifty states. There's no background checks, no permits required, and shipped directly
to your door. Gun free isn'tapplicable to Berna. It's great for wherever
guns are banned. Visit burna dotcom slash data for ten percent off.
That's b y r Ina dot comslash data. Is anyone in the White
(05:53):
House hiding information about the president's healthor his ability to do the job day
today? Absolutely, given the factthat it's more than a bad night when
his political future is present, wouldhe be willing to provide more medical information?
Would he be willing to have doctorO'Connor provide more to answer these questions?
(06:17):
Look certainly understand the question, appreciatethe question. But what we have
provided has been very transparent. Ithas been has been watched. But February
February was this year, It wasn'ttoo long ago. It was indeed this
year, and we were we were, we provided transparent report for many Americans
who were concerned about his capacity.Oh my gosh, I can't even deal
(06:44):
Notice the press, first off,welcome back Dan Elisha with you. Notice
the prices. So they're like,wait, we can ask these we can
ask these questions again, guys,hurry up, let's ask these questions to
pretend like we've been asking them allalong. So can you tell us Karne
uh the president disease? Is hedoing his day to day job? Because
you know it came out yesterday thathe has a daily nap. There's like
(07:06):
so many leaks coming right now.I can't. I've just I feel like
a drunk gold digger in the middleof a waterfall. Just ah, just
like taking everything in my pan.I don't even know how to deal with
this. Kane O popcorn, Danny, you should take the Sarah's lights about
the future of our country? Haveyou met me? So? I love
(07:31):
first off that the media is like, oh, it's where the reporters us.
Now we get it because they haven'tdone any of this. Look at
how hysterical they are. They're runningaround the newsrooms in disarray. They're probably
knocking each other down because they're sodesperate to make it look like they've been
reporting on this all along. Lookat them show up with their pencil tuck
behind their ears. So you're tellingus, Karen, wait, who the
(07:55):
hell is you? Where did youstart asking questions? You've been silent four
years. For four years, you'vebeen quiet. Now all of a sudden,
you're asking questions because you see thepower shifting. They go where the
power is, right, they gowhere the power is That's like, that's
like Talladega Knights when Ricky Bobby losthis wife and she's like, I go
(08:18):
with the rice car driver. Igo with him. Like when Ricky got
into his accident before his daddy rehabilitatedhim with a Puma in the backseat,
right, and he ended up losinghis wife, and she went with the
other that travels follows power. Themedia is just like that. They're like
Ricky Bobby's wife from Talladega Knights.They follow power. So now they're going
(08:39):
to start asking questions. They seethese leaks coming out. That's a signal
to them, Oh, it's okayto start asking these things. Now we
can start asking these questions. M. Yes, that's so as anyone hiding
information like this audio soundboy two,listen to these questions. Now listen.
I'm gonna absolutely delicate, and youmay not like it. The President may
(09:03):
not like to hear it if it'swatching, But I think the American people
need to get a yes or noanswer on this. Oh does President Biden
at eighty one years old have Alzheimer's? Oh my god, in that form
of dementia or degenerative illness that causedthese sorts of lapses. And it's a
yes or no question. And ifyou don't know, why don't you,
(09:26):
as one of his senior staff membersknow, he's your answers for you?
Are you ready for It's a no, And I hope you're asking the other
guy the same exact question. Ohso there, listen to it, there
there, Please don't beat us.I'm going to ask this question because we
got the green light that it's okayto ask it. Now, Please don't
kill us. Is it okay?Korean? Like he's flinching, like he's,
(09:50):
you know, waiting, he's waitingto get hit. These people are
rat bastards, you know why?Because they didn't ask a single one of
these questions for four years. Theyknew they're culpable in it. I saw
this tweet from what is it?Big Tat over at seeing it? He
was seeing it anymore? Yeah,yeah, yeah, sorry, he goes.
I swear to you. He tweetedus hands to sky, big Tater
(10:13):
spending geees. He's tweeted my humblemessage for everyone enraged at the news media
right now, the crisis of faithand Biden's capabilities as not a media creation.
Democratic Party officials are the ones drivingthis conversation. I'm sorry, Hold
up here, Tat, hold up. Let's pull this prius over for a
(10:33):
second. Have a little combo.What do you mean that the crisis of
faith in his capabilities is not amedia creation? Are you kidding me?
You fluffers hit it for four years. You hit it for four You didn't
hide it. We all saw it, and we all asked questions. And
what y'all do? You called usconspiracy theorists, You called us names,
(10:54):
You said that we were making funof his stutter, you said all these
things. I mean, surely y'allremember this, because I remember it just
as claire as day. I meanit literally, a couple of weeks ago
the Washington Post, when the WhiteHouse, when Karine Jean Pierre forgot that
(11:15):
it was deep fake and called itcheap fake. They gave four pinocchios to
these videos that showed by I mean, clearly Biden is about to defecate his
drawers, right, He's like barelycognizant of where he is, and it
gave it dismissed. In fact,here what it was. It was a
(11:37):
quote pernicious effort to reinforce an existingstereotype. Washington Post was telling everyone that
you were lying, and they gaveyou these little cutie pinocchios. You get
a pinocchio, you're gonna get akick in the butt. Can give me
a pinocchio. This is true.We all see this. We see him,
We see him falling down on flatsurfaces, not really remembering where he
(12:00):
is, calling on dead people atevents that have been dead for quite some
time. We see all of this, and y'all were saying just two weeks
ago, oh, well, youknow you you're gonna have to get four
pinocchios. I mean, they're leadingpeople with cheap here's the headline, cheap
fake Biden videos and rapture, right, wing media, but deeply mislead.
This was the Washington Post two weeksago. A particularly effective attack on a
(12:26):
political candidate can come in the formof a video snippet that appears to reinforce
an existing stereotype. The social mediafeed of the r n C regularly turns
out misleading clips of President Biden intendedto show that he is too old for
the job. Oh and they keepgoing. They quote White House Deputy our
White House Press Secretary Andrew Bates sayingthat, well, you know, abortually
(12:50):
some were President Biden's right, whencritics don't respect their readers. They're basically
saying that, you know, there, you're all stupid. And then they
add in their pinocchios tests the theuse of these clips is an especially pernicious
couple a couple of examples of manipulatedvideo. Could you use more like bad
grammar? Thank you? What welabel isolation under our guide to manipulated video
(13:11):
because it's intended to create a falsenarrative bubba. So now they're like,
well, wait a minute, whyis no one asking about this? The
same people hands to sky are nowasking, well, why no one's asking
about this? I mean, thisis now there were some let me pull
this up. I have so manyexamples for you. We could be here
legit all day. Oh I came, I came ready today. I may
(13:33):
come ready every day, but Iwas I was just eating all the popcorn
that we have in Texas watching allthis stuff. So now what they're saying
is is, well, you know, one of the reasons maybe perhaps we
were hesitant to report on this isbecause you're talking about old age is very
delicate. I don't care about that. When you're talking about the eggs,
(13:54):
you're talking about the White House.You're not talking about sitting Grandma down and
asking her if she's too old todrive any more. It's a completely different
scenario. This is the leader ofthe free world, the largest, most
powerful nation on God's green Earth,and you're afraid to ask tough questions because
you think that talking about old ageand political office is just delicate. Then
(14:18):
you're too delicate for your damn job, because you're not there to be delegate.
You're supposed to be the attack dogon behalf of voters, the watchdog
on behalf of voters. You're notsupposed to be limping around like a beaten
animal too terrified to ask your politicalbetters questions that you're supposed to be asking
by very nature of the creation ofyour industry. These people are all culpable.
(14:43):
I do not let a single oneof the moth hook. I'm not
going to give them kudos for justnow. Oh well, wow, so
and so Jake Jaberberts, you know, was asking some tough questions. So
and so kaylo O'donald's asking some toughquo. They were all in on this
until like two weeks ago. Thisdidn't change until they saw the signal coming
down, the batsig coming down fromthe White House along guy looks like he
might be on his way out hereof the might be withdrawn from the race.
(15:07):
Then only then did they feel thatit was safe for them to do
their jobs. And they're only doingit so that they can position themselves to
be adjacent to the next person withpower. That is the only reason they're
doing this. I mean, thefact that stuff like this has been hill
hid for so long, and thefact that they attacked all of us when
(15:28):
we brought it up. It's thegreat Biden cover up, you know.
Like for instance, Pro Publica releasedthis interview wherein it was an unedited interview
that they just released yesterday. Thisinterview was conducted nine months ago. Why
(15:50):
are they now releasing an unedited interviewof Biden that was conducted nine months ago.
Well, they said, quote,we believe it is worth giving the
public another chance to see one ofBiden's infrequent conversations with a reporter. No,
you didn't the first interview. Thefirst time you released this interview,
it was all edited and it wasvery short, and now he has all
(16:11):
of his flaws and his blemishes init. And you did it to add
to this note. You did itto cover your ass. You did it
to make it look like you're beinghonest and transparent with the reader. Pro
Public, a left leaning site youprovd us and then you have listen to
this. Susan Glasser, who's withNew York Magazine, tweets, well,
(16:32):
this is such a key point.You know, where were all of these
folks when Biden's decision to run againcould have been headed off, when so
many took a pass on thinking aboutthe implications of someone asking for a second
term that would have him serving toage eighty six. Where were you?
I just gave you the example ofWashington post two weeks ago, calling us
liars, giving us four pinocchios.You guys were calling us conspiracy theorists,
(16:53):
all of you. You were sayingthat it was right wing narrative. All
of you. You were saying thatit was cruel, that we were mocking
his stutter, or that we werejust trying to deflect from Trump or whatever
or whatever. Now again, nowthey're only admitting that everything that we've seen
for the past four years is true, because it was impossible to say that
(17:14):
it was a deep fake or acheap fake. To watch Bidenstein side by
side with Trump, a guy who'salmost his age at a debate. It's
not an issue of age, It'san issue of cognitive health, and that
was put on clear display. Imean, you had two similarly aged dudes
who were on the stage and onlyone of them really knew where he was.
(17:36):
All these people are right there withit. I mean, this coming
from a semaphore stick Jill Abramson,these NBC people telling semaphore. The Biden
Whitehouse clearly succeeded in a massive coverup to the degree of presidents of the
president's feebleness and his serious physical decline. You got this in the newsletter that
(17:56):
went out last night. They literallysaid this. They were That's what Jill
Abramson told Semaphore the news outlet.They they this is crazy. Semophore wrote,
quote, It's clear the best newsreporters in Washington have failed in the
first duty of journalism to hold poweraccountable, to find out the truth.
(18:18):
The Biden White House clearly succeeded ina massive cover up to the no no,
no, no one, no one, no one. They did not
cover it up. You covered itup. You could have reported on it.
They don't have the power to coverit up. You do, and
you ramp bastards in the press coveredit up, just like you covered up
the censorship with the White House andsocial media, just like you covered up
(18:40):
everything that Fauci was doing, Justlike you covered up the fact that masks
didn't work and the injections did notactually transfer immunity, Just like you covered
up how the Russian collusion story wasabsolutely fake, and that you knew that
all of these intelligence officials that signedonto this letter were lying, and that
they signed onto the letter knowing thatthey were lying. You covered that up
(19:02):
time and time and time again.You are not the victim. You are
part of the problem, and insome instances you are worse. We expect
this of Marxist politicians. But aswe approach Independence Day, I'll have our
so called free rat bastard press.Remember that this country was founded on the
(19:22):
sacredness of the free press, whichthey spit on the legacy of which they
spit on every single day. Theydon't do their due diligence, and they
have the audacity to turn on thepeople whom they are supposed to report for,
to turn on the people from whomthis government gets its authority by way
of consent, to turn on thevery people, to turn against the animating
(19:48):
spirit of liberty that made this nationso amazing. They're really truly responsible in
all of this. And now allof the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quick five.Why are we doing this? So?
The US is going to pay madernaone hundred and seventy six million dollars to
develop an m are in a pandemicflu quote unquote vaccine. Why are we
(20:14):
doing this again? They want toaccelerate it because of the bird flu concerns.
Sorry, I'm just not really feelingthe bird flu thing. Let's see,
this is a lot so student loanborrowers, oh one point six trillion
dollars, and nearly half of themmarn't paint. Now. Remember this was
(20:36):
made so much more expensive by Democrats, and I think they did it as
a way to get more revenue intothe government just for that. Because they
took everything over, they decided toenrich themselves and enrich these colleges and universities
on top. That's all this is. So they said that that's this three
year timeout on federal student loan paymentsbecause of the pandemic. Millions of borrowers
(20:59):
have not been repaying it. You'relooking at what half of I mean,
that's what that's eight hundred billion dollars. Oh my cow. Michelle Obama.
People are booking her, are countingon her with to maybe become president.
They're saying that her chances surge withbookmakers via Newsweek. I just don't see
(21:22):
this happening. I don't. I'mgonna move on from this. Tim Burton's
Beetle Juice Beetlejuice the sequel is goingto open the Venice Film Festival, which
is so incredibly, so incredibly fitting, and I like Tim Burton, and
I like Danny Almans, so I'mgonna go see these Obviously, I'm totally
gonna go see this movie. Higoth kid saying, but Michael Keaton went
on a writer, Catherine or Haara, They're all in it. Monica Balucci
(21:44):
is in it, well into Foeis in it, super excited about all
that. And it doesn't look superwoke either. He doesn't. Tim Burton
doesn't really do woke. And theytry to get at him before on that,
and he just sort of slapped themall away and was like, blank
you I got blank you cred bye. So I respect that. Also,
Walmart and Walmart was evacuated and severalwere sickened after a foul odor permeated a
(22:04):
Pennsylvania store. It was in LowerNazareth, Pennsylvania. Shoppers had to be
evacuated. They said that nine peoplewere taken to the hospital. Apparently it
was animal repellent that had been returnedby a customer. Oh boy, first
of all, Stephen who we agreed. There's a long list of Democrats.
Kamala Harris, A Gavin Newsom,a Gretchen Whitmer. The list goes on
(22:29):
and on and on. You've namedfour or five people, where is their
consensus. You've got to build consensus, and there is not consensus right now.
If you pick a white man overKamala Harris black women, I can
tell you this, we're gonna walkaway. We're gonna blow the party up.
Mm. So that is a Californiadelegate who's saying that if Democrats choose
(22:52):
a white man to replace Biden overKamala Harris, and that's they're not gonna
do. They're not gonna they're notgonna go out and support I don't know
if I believe that to be true, because Kamala Harris was the least supported
even amongst black voters in the Democratprimaries, of all of the candidates and
the Democrat primaries. So there's justnot a lot of there's not a lot
of receipts there that make me believeher. Welcome back to the program,
(23:15):
Dana Lash here with you. We'reat the top of this second hour and
a very weird, very weird IndependenceEve because of all of the blow ups
with the Democrat Party. And youcan listen coast to coast. You can
stream the radio program and watch thesimulcast as well on Channel three forty seven
Direct TV. You can find uson x Rumble. There's always a discussion
in Rumble. They have the mcgroincrew in the Rumble discussion today. So
(23:41):
always, always fun, always joined. So this delegate, I just I
don't think I'm I don't think I'mbeing dismissive and saying that I just don't
believe her, simply because I don'tbelieve that it didn't that didn't happen when
she was having when she had todrop out of the primary debate. But
(24:03):
also I just feel like that's soone sided and hypocritical. I mean,
I'm all for Democrats, you know, tearing each other up. I mean
I'm you know, they have allof these different identity groups and they played
them too long, and now here'sthe consequence. But let's not forget that
they had a white woman step asidefor a black man coming from Illinois.
So I'm just saying, you know, Hillary Clinton was told to step aside
(24:26):
for Barack Obama, and that createda lot of tension within that party,
and it created a lot of problemsthat we're all still dealing with today.
So let's be kind of realistic aboutsome of this further, She's I don't
trust people. I have a hardtime trusting politicians, especially if they have
no record and they've never been governor. I always default to governors. If
there's a governor run in against likea senator or a Rep. I tend
(24:48):
a default to a governor unless it'slike a bunch of people that I don't
like and like Doug Bergram, andthen that's not gonna happen, or a
bunch of like senators or reps,and then Doug Burgram not gonna happen.
But this idea and she and rememberthis has been co signed by James Cliburn.
He had the shot across the bow. He's saying that he's going to
(25:10):
support I'm going to play this onemore time. Audio sound bite six.
This is this statement right now isthe biggest statement in the Democrat primary.
Listen to this. I will supporther if he were to step aside,
but I'm want to support her goingforward. Sometime in the future. I
want this ticket to continue to beBiden Harris, and then we'll see what
(25:33):
happens after the next election. SoI say this, Remember we've talked about
this. He made Joe Biden presidentJoe Biden wouldn't be president without James Cliburn.
James Cliburn is now trying to usehis muscle to send a shot across
the bow saying, look, you'renot going to be replacing Kamala Harris.
The problem is Kamala Harris doesn't havelikability. She is not a likable candidate.
She doesn't seem genuine, and there'snothing that James Cliburn can do to
(25:56):
offset her deficiencies as a candidate.Those are her deficiencies that have nothing to
do with sex, or race,ethnicity, or anything else. They're just
her deficiencies as a candidate. Nowin the meantime, they're having a Democrat
Governor's call today. The reporting wasthat Newsom, Gavin Newsom flew to DC
(26:17):
because he definitely wants to be considerednumber one. He's put in a lot
of time, I don't know what. And that's the other thing. Kamala
Harris doesn't really have a record torun on borders are I mean, that's
the biggest thing that she was assignedthat would tank her itself because there are
so many Democrats that are livid overwhat's been happening at the border. But
if it's going to be somebody likeGavin Newsom, and we'll talk about this
(26:38):
in war, should this, youknow, end up being the reality.
If it's somebody like Gavin Newsom,you need to consider all of the baggage
that he has. And we talkedabout some of it yesterday. But I
haven't even gotten into the high speedrail. I haven't even gotten into the
water, you know, desalination plan, none of that. I mean,
it's horrific. So that's a wholeother topic of discussion that you know,
if he becomes a nominee, we'lltalk about her. If it looks likely,
(26:59):
we'll talk more about But this isa problem that democrats. Democrats created
it. I think that Biden's peoplebelieved that they were going to be able
to use him as the avatar fortheir agenda, and that he would I
I'm trying to figure out how toput this. That he would last through
(27:21):
a second term? Does that makesense? And the reason I say this,
and I was going back and forthand if I wanted to have like
a ton of different videos over thespan of the past four years showing the
I mean, you guys know,I don't need to you know, beat
a dead horse, and at somepoint, even though I think he deserves
it because of his petty nature allthrough the years, at some point for
(27:41):
me it feels cruel because it's allthese clips are so bad when you start
to play them success successfully or successfullylike this, they're just so bad.
But I mean, it's very clearin the like even in twenty eighteen when
he was like hinting about running andthen you had the midterms, he was
so much more with it twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, and then he clearly
had an episode and then it justgot worse from there because remember, a
(28:04):
cognitive decline like this is a slowdecline. It doesn't happen. You don't
go to sleep in the wake upand you're cognitively impaired like this. So
this was happening for a long time. My point in saying that is that
all of these people around him hadmore than enough time to say, you
know, he's not ready to dothis again, he can't do or he
can't do this again. This isn'tyou can't have it now. The excuses
(28:27):
are still coming. Did you noticehe was orange the other day? He
was orange yesterday. There was ameme going around where Biden was looking at
Trump going I'm the orange Man.Now. You know, the whole can't
remember what movie that was with TomHanks, and they got that boat got
captured. Yeah, so they Igotta put this up Politico. Biden family
(28:52):
also blames CNN for bad makeup again. They said that he was too pale.
Now all of a sudden, he'scompletely orange. He was as orange
as the day is long, andthat seemed very weird. It's very weird.
They're just they're all freaking out.The whole White House is freaking out.
Democrats are turning. Here's the otherstory I was telling you. Democrats
(29:15):
staffers are absolutely terrified. This isall coming, you know, to a
head. They're terrified of him,this story. Kamala doesn't read her daily
briefings, it says, and JoeBiden's staff the quote was scared sless of
him, terrified of him because he'sso mean and so crabby. That's the
(29:41):
real Joe, by the way,it said. A former underlining of Kamala
Harris says she routinely refused to reviewbriefing materials and would scold employees when she
appeared unprepared. They said that shewas a workplace bully, and that more
staffers are considering leaving her office.Four top aides two Harris will exit in
the span of about a month.And they said staff are leaving because they're
(30:03):
burnt out and they don't want tobe permanently branded a Harris person. Axios
reported and among those leaving are SimoneSanders, her chief spokesperson. So they
also Peter Villa as director of pressoperations, and another staffer. So they're
saying she didn't read any of this. Biden's briefings are curated for him so
(30:27):
that he doesn't receive information that willset him off. And this is an
associated press piece. This is wild. Yeah, decencies back in the White
(30:48):
House. Our associated press is theAxios piece. A lot of the leaks
are coming from Axios, which Ithink Axios in political, which I think
is interesting. So Biden's staff they'rescared of him, the terrified of him.
They don't want they want to curatehis stuff because they don't want him
to get bad news. And itkeeps coming. Yeah, this is the
(31:10):
Politico piece. We've all enabled thesituation. As the headline, DIM's turn
on Biden's Inner sanctum post debate,his senior team management are getting more strictly
controlled. This is so devastating thislisten. One official said, quote,
you can't include that talking about informationthat will set him off, or put
(31:36):
in that, or put that inbecause he likes that. It's a roar
shock test, not a briefing,because he is not a pleasant person to
be around when he's being briefed.It's very difficult. People are scared sless
of him. That end quote.That's what they said. They said,
he doesn't take another quote another official, he doesn't take advice from anyone other
than those few top aids. Andit becomes a perfect storm because he just
(31:59):
gets more and more isolated from theirefforts to control it. Wow, So
he doesn't get fully brief because heonly wants good news. And then Kamala
doesn't read it at all. Andthey said that he also gets naps.
Don't forget the nap. Yeah,they said his debate preps started at eleven
(32:25):
am and then he had a nap. So he had a full hour and
then he had a nap. NewYork Times Biden lapses are said to be
increasingly common and worrisome. These areall stories that have just come out in
the past twenty four hours. I'mnot even kidding you. It is a
waterfall right now, they said.People have spent this in New York Times.
People have spent time with Biden overthe past few months or so,
(32:47):
said, the lapses have grown morefrequent, more pronounced, and more worrisome.
Ooh ooh, and then he getsyou know, the nap times.
Now they're saying, oh, yeah, he works, He works a couple
hours, takes an app, worksa couple hours. Oh my gosh,
this is just it's so bad.It's so bad. Thanks for tuning in
