Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you think that the vice president needs to be
more out there talking to reporters, talking about issues in
a give and take, not just in speeches.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
I think she should say what I just said in
that sentence. She has should be herself, She should be ready,
she should know her power and all of this. And
I don't give anybody advice except to be themselves and
be ready and know the power of their individuality and
their authenticity.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
The hell does that even mean? Nancy Pelosi was asked
about Kamala Harris and whether or not she's going to
be doing, you know, like interviews and stuff, and she's
going to be taking questions from the press, and I
do we know what that means? What does it even mean?
What did she say? I mean, can I run it
through my BS California Marxist filter? I don't know. I

(00:48):
don't think it's working this morning. But that's just such
a weird answer. And Nancy Pelosi, by the way, and
we're going to talk a little bit about this, she's
I feel like some of the Biden staffers, well I
don't feel like. I mean, it's pretty some of the
Biden staffers are supremely angry at her because they feel
that she was, you know, the motivating or the biggest

(01:11):
factor that pushed Biden out of office, and so they
are they're upset with her because you know, here we're
in this well not we, but they are in this
current state of the uh, the cycle, and they have,
you know, Kamala Harris not the strongest candidate they could have,

(01:34):
and I feel like they're the Biden people are nursing
a grudge against Pelosi for being the person that ultimately
pushed out Joe Biden. And because we've talked about that,
you know a little bit going into the switch, and
it is you know, I mean, somebody big had to

(01:54):
convince how to get him out of the race. And
I don't think it was going to be Jill or
Hunter because all of these people were very they were
very interested in their own bottom line. I don't think
it was any of them. But I mean it's so
there's there's some of that going around. So it's interesting
that now she's like because she hasn't been really speaking
out about Kamala Harris very much, despite the fact that

(02:14):
both of them are from San Francisco. So interesting. So
welcome to the program. Dana Lash here with you, and
we are at the top of this third hour on Friday,
and we've got some secret service stuff to get into.
We're also going to talk with coming up, our friend
Charles Paine on all of the economic nonsense. We're going

(02:38):
to get into all of that. And we also have
let's see Harris Walls. We also have we're gonna get
into that. We got Breton Sergus's twenty twenty four. We
got a whole bunch of stuff. But first up, So
this so Kamala Harris was asked. They finally asked her
a question. She actually made her way, interestingly enough to

(03:00):
the press gathering outside of uh the her jet and
she was talking to members of the media because they
were asking her, okay, so where when are you gonna?
When are you gonna answer questions? Are you gonna are
you gonna? Are you gonna have a press conference? And

(03:21):
she and this is I'm looking at I'm scrolling through audio.
She finally said that she was going to but it
was gonna be like in a couple of weeks. Is
when she said that she would actually talk to members
of the press. Listen to this, because this doesn't seem
to be satisfactory. A satisfactory answer. If you're trying to

(03:43):
figure out when the vice presidential candidate is gonna be
taking questions, listen, matter doesn't.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
There been a lot of questions about when you're gonna
sit down for your first interviews to seeing that.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
I'm in the team, I want to to get an
interview sat.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
She hasn't.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I mean it's been nineteen days. It's been nineteen days,
so she said, oh, before the end of the month,
So like, that's in several weeks. I want to remind
you Early voting begins in less than five weeks in Pennsylvania.
Early voting, that's where early voting in some of these states,
and in Pennsylvania kicks off in under five weeks. So

(04:18):
she's gonna wait and do a answer questions from the press.
She's gonna wait that long. That seems a little odd.
And speaking of debates and questions, she did commit to
a debate with Trump. I think it's the ABC one
she finally agreed to a debate. I think it's one

(04:39):
of that. But one of the reporters I retweeted it yesterday,
was like, well, what about the other two? What about
I don't know if we have that what about the
other two? I mean they do we have this audio.
I think I don't know which one this is. It
was funny when they were asking, yeah, listen to.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
This, madam.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Vice President Donald Trump agreed to three debates.

Speaker 6 (04:58):
Will you be participating in all three?

Speaker 4 (05:00):
I've always been.

Speaker 7 (05:01):
On record I am looking forward to donating that Trump
and we have a data September tenth.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I hear he has finally committed to it.

Speaker 8 (05:07):
I'm looking for.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
This's the other two? What about the other two? What
about the other two debates?

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Though?

Speaker 3 (05:13):
And she's like, no, nope, we're not doing any of
that and just walks away, walks away. It's kind of
funny with all of that, but h so, anyway, that's
the it's the latest with the press that with the
UH questions and the debates and all of this stuff. Now,
in the meantime, the Harris campaign has been trying to

(05:35):
rehabilitate the Waltz situation. They listen to this so on
their website. Originally on Tim with regard to Tim Wallas's bio,
they had referred to him as a retired command sergeant major,
which he's not, so they very quietly took that away.
They erased that off of their website. Fascinating, is it not.

(05:56):
They took it off their website, and they they've been
trying to remove any false claims that they had previously
run with because he said that he was by the way,
he's been saying this as I mean twenty eighteen, there
was actually another reference I found twenty nineteen where he
kept saying that he's a retired command sergeant major. But

(06:18):
he's not. He's he retired as a master sergeant. So
he was claiming they one of my veteran friends was
saying he was saying that he was an E nine rank,
and he's not. He's an EA rank. That's what a
friend of mine was telling me. But the assumption is, well,
I guess it doesn't sound his fancy to say that,
but he was claiming that he I mean, there are tweets,
there are screenshots of tweets all over where he was

(06:39):
saying that he is a retired command sergeant major, said
that over and over and over again, and he tweeted it,
he said it in speeches, he said it on the
campaign trail, he posted it. I mean, these are things
that he actually typed and then hit send and put
it out there so he knows that he's not, in fact,
wants preparing. Want's got one of them. He's going to

(06:59):
show you this. This was from just twenty eighteen. Now,
remember how long this has been going down, how long
this has been happening. This is where this is twenty eighteen.
He's saying that. Look, he says as a retired command
sergeant major, which he wasn't. He retired as a master sergeant.
He was reduced in rank because the moment that he
was told that he was going to deploy, he took off.

(07:21):
So that's a problem. So anyway, the Hairs campaign has
been quietly, quietly, quietly scrubbing all references of this from
their website. His original biography called him the son of
an Army veteran and retired command sergeant major in the
Army National Guard. And then now they they call him

(07:42):
the Now they call him the son of an Army
veteran who served as a command sergeant major. So they
went back and they changed it and didn't tell anyone.
They won't acknowledge this. This is why you know, I
keep a lot of people are asking me, is this
going to make a difference?

Speaker 9 (07:56):
Though?

Speaker 3 (07:56):
I don't think it's going to make a difference with
like hardcore Democrats, because you're talking about a party that
lionized a guy that let a woman drown in a
pond for crying out loud. It's not going to matter
to them, But it's going to matter to the moderates
and the Independence and a lot of veterans out there.
You know, this is all of this is decided in
the margins, and that's where this is going. So it's
I think with them, it absolutely does matter. Now in

(08:18):
addition to all of this, the because we have they're
still trying to deal with these issues. They're still trying
to deal with the Dui, which seemed to be less
of a problem than the stolen valor. But now all
this came out yesterday. Tim Walls repeatedly hosted a Muslim
cleric who celebrated October seventh and shared pro Hitler website links.

(08:46):
It just keeps getting worse and worse and worse. So
this guy and this Washington Examiner has the story. This guy,
by the way, Walts hosted him at official events. Walts
hosted this guy at all kinds of official events. And
what's interesting is that the surrogates people who are defenders

(09:12):
of Harris Harris Walls, Walls Harris. They're saying, well, you know,
to be clear, he didn't host him after October seventh.
Are you kidding me? I mean, at least five times
as the governor of Minnesota, he hosted this guy who
celebrated the October seventh attack. He promoted a film, a
neo well known neo Nazi film apparently, and this guy

(09:35):
was I mean, he's he was there. He knows to Walls,
he hosted him. The guy's name, the mom's name is
Asad Zaemon. He is of the Muslim Muslim American Society
of Minnesota. He actually one of the he met with
and talked with Walts on May twenty third. He was

(09:56):
there with the governor speaking at events at May twenty twenty.
I mean, this guy, by the way, delivered the invocation
before Tim Waltz addressed the state in twenty nineteen. This
is crazy. And by the way, Waltz hosted an event

(10:18):
where he was like the keynote. He was the headline
guest for Ramadan. And that's all over social media and
this guy shared all kinds of stuff from hamas he
celebrated October seventh. It's on social media, so I mean,
there's no way anybody can spin it unless you know

(10:39):
they're saying it was. He came back around and said,
psych just kidding. He I mean, is the language that
he uses on social media is really bad. He had
a lot of I mean, when I say anti semitic,
when you're actually trashing Jewish people for being Jewish, that's
pretty anti semitic. That's not like just disagreeing with Netan Yahoo. Right,

(11:00):
So that's this guy. He linked to a website that
was all about it's a neo Nazi pro Hitler film
called The Greatest Story and Never Told. It was released
in twenty thirteen apparently, and he and that's among other
things that he shared some of the stuff that he

(11:21):
I mean, it's crazy. He had like Hitler imagery, like
literally like Hitler silhouette and all this stuff that he
shared on his social media pages. It's bad. It's bad.
This is bad. And Tim Waltz hosted him a million times,
gave the invocation for Walts before Walt's addressed the state.
So when the left calls the right Nazis, I'm just

(11:43):
wondering if they include the time that Tim Walsh literally
entertains a Nazi, an Islamo fascist Nazi in the governor's
mansion repeatedly and elevates this guy into giving the invocation
before his address to the state because that's where we're at.
This is wild. I mean, what else is this guy

(12:04):
gonna have in his closet? This is crazy? You know,
who is it? Eric Holder was supposed to be partly
responsible for the vetting for some of those, yeah, some
of Obama's people. It kind of makes me wonder, you know,
did they set her up to Sabatasha because she's one

(12:25):
of those people, and it's really weird. She's one of
those weird people that have all this ambition but no
work ethic, Like they don't they don't want to do
the work to get the glory, kind of like that
Eric Briton's dated on a Missouri Like they don't want
to do the work. They want the title and they
want the glory, but without the hard work that goes
into it. And I have always been amazed at how

(12:46):
people can function like that. She's one of them. I mean,
she's it's like, uh, you know, tit for tat with
her and she's been how she's been able to come
up in the ranks is kind of wild to me,
but it makes me you know, this is evident that
she doesn't go into vetting anybody herself. She doesn't put
that work in herself, so she lets other people do it.

(13:07):
So if she's letting other people do it, they can
destroy her use exploiting her laziness. It's wild. I got
a lot more for you, including coming up. There's a
piece over at Substack that you need to check out.
We're going to talk about it. The Trump assassination attempt
new bodycam video footage is crazy. I was watching this
yesterday and then there's all this radio conversation from law

(13:27):
enforcement that are angry because apparently they were telling Secret
Service earlier in the week that they got to post
somebody up on that roof and apparent Secret Service didn't
do it. It is wild waiting til you see this.
And we've got Charles Pain who's going to be coming
up as well. Hillsdale College founded in eighteen forty four.
It's a small Christian, classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan.
They're all about the pursuit of truth and defense of

(13:48):
liberty and this you don't have to live in southern
Michigan to take advantage of what they have to offer.
So if you are into history and you like historical
documentaries things like that, which I like, you're really gonna
like this production that they have on their website. It's
at Dana four fo R Hillsdale dot com and it
is a portrayal of Thomas Jefferson is he reflects upon

(14:12):
the meaning of the Declaration of Independence, and it's taken
directly from a letter that he wrote to a friend
late in his life. And it's not just about, you know,
the Declaration as it was created, but it's applications for
the future, and it's just a very interesting perspective, one
that's based on historical fact. And I invite you to
visit Dana for Hillsdale dot com to see that video
for free, and then while you're there, you'll get a

(14:34):
free commemorative copy of the Declaration from Independence from my
friends at Hillsdale. So type in Dana four fo r
Hillsdale dot com check out this. It's a very awesome
deep dive. Again, it's Jefferson later in his life reflecting
on the Declaration and you can get a free commemorative
copy of the declaration from Hillsdale. That's Dana four fo
R Hillsdale dot com.

Speaker 10 (14:54):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
I need you to pay very close attention to this headline.
A man was killed by a probiotic supplement that triggered
a massive infection which caused his gut to die. What
it's this, this elderly Japanese man. Yeah, he apparently he
had well, he had some other concerning health problems. But

(15:22):
they said that he and maybe alcoholism. But they also
said that on he was a smoker. But they also
said that he took tons of probiotics and it made
him develop the runs if you get my drift. And yeah,
and then he died. He died because they killed him.

Speaker 6 (15:37):
The persons sound like probiotics did it.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
I'm just saying, you know, let's see this, okay, I
feel like I feel like a cat lady came up
with us. Blasting glitter into Mars's atmosphere could make it
more habitable. Safe scientists pumping engineered particles similar insights to
commercially available glitter and made of iron and aluminum or
if you're British, aluminium into the atmosphere that could help

(16:01):
eat up Mars. According to does Mars needed need help
heating up? I thought it was like a hot red
planet anyway. Maybe, Okay, no, wait no, that's uh mercury.
So they said one third of Mars's surfaces water. Yeah,
I'm sure, let's go ahead. Just pump some glitter in there.
That'll do it. That'll do the job. Great, great deal, science,
great job. Uh the Museum of ice Cream, this sounds
like a bad idea. They a visitor was left with

(16:24):
permanent injuries. It was their sprinkle pool, and apparently somebody
jumped in and hurt themselves, because yeah, why would you
do that? Charles Pain's up next, stick with us Caltech,
great company, Florida Borne and Bread and they're P fifteen.
I don't know if you if you are familiar with it,
it's an awesome nine millimeters Striker fire pistol. It comes
in polymer and metal. The metal frame version has the

(16:47):
awesome wood paneled texture grips. I mean, I like the
polymer one too, but I just I mean the wood
paneled grips that they got on the metal frame is
just so James Bond. I mean, it's like it's like
the like the wood that you would see the Insider rolls.
It's just it's just fancy. It's a fancy now millimeter.
It's the P fifteen from Celtech and uh it's a

(17:07):
fully adjustable fiber optic two dot rear. You have the
tritium fiber optic front site striker, fire reliability, great trigger pool.
It's compact. I mean it's from the people who literally
invented the the microcompact pistol category and they just continue
their mission at Caltech of a game changing innovation and
performance with this new P fifteen concealable, dependable firepower, everything

(17:28):

Speaker 12 (17:56):
Wait.

Speaker 7 (17:57):
Believe in a future where we lower the cost of
living for America's families so that they have a chance
not just to get by, but to get ahead. Because
while our economy is doing well by many measures, prices

(18:17):
for everyday things like groceries are still too high.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
You know it, and I know it.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
You know, when I was Attorney General, I went after
price fixing schemes, and when I am president, it will
be a day one priority to fight to bring down prices.
I will take on big corporations that engage in illegal
price gouging. I will take on corporate landlords that unfairly

(18:44):
raised rents.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
On what My first thought was, I mean, what are
you doing now? You're the vice president of the United States.
You preside over the Senate, Like, what are you doing now?
That's my first thought. And my second thought was, you know,
the issue isn't that the government doesn't do enough. It
is that the government does too much. And you know,
her talking about price gouging, it just takes me back

(19:06):
to big supermarket, right, big grocery some that Joe Biden
had said, Oh it's a big supermarket, you know, or
big milk or big corn or big something. Everything's always big.
But government. I love that they're they have such a
wild perspective, but I don't love the what it puts
us through. Joining us now on this and of course
none of the economy. One day we're gonna have Charles

(19:27):
on the show and it's gonna be all great news.
Charles Payn hosted Making Money with Charles Payn weekdays two
to three pm Eastern on Fox Business. He is my
favorite person about money on the TV, and he's now
joining us on the phone. Charles always loved talking to you,
my friend. I just wanted to get your response to that.
I mean, she's the vice president of the United States.
That's not an entirely powerless position.

Speaker 12 (19:47):
No, it's not. It's just, oh my god, Dan, I
don't even know what to begin with these people, the deflection,
the finger pointing, the blame. It's the buck has never
stopped with them, just never stops with them. They just
there's no introspection, you know. I mean, you were just
talking about quote unquote big supermarkets, right, So the biggest

(20:08):
pure supermarket out there is Kroger. You know, you can
argue Walmart sales more food, but they sell a bunch
of stuff. So Kroger reported their earnings for the first
quarter of this year, you know what their operating profit
was two point nine percent, two point nine percent, down
from three point three percent a year ago. Two point
nine percent. Is that the definition of price gouging? That

(20:30):
doesn't them?

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. I mean, and I know,
and I get, and I get their system like they have.
You know, they're able to turn over goods and all
that stuff. And Walmart's figured out and Kroger really they
figured out the secret sauce of that. But when they
when I hear Kamala Harrison others talk about this, I
I just get the idea that they've never they don't
understand what everyday families are trying to do by stretching

(20:53):
that dollar because the government's just not going to stop
spending money. And when you know, I hear Biden talk about, well,
we're going to spend this out. We're gonna free this
and that, free college, free this, and Kamala Harris continuing it,
I don't. I mean, I looked at you know what
the jobs reports at last week, Charles, I was looking
at the market dive. I don't think that we can
withstand that for another four years?

Speaker 12 (21:14):
Oh, absolutely not, absolutely not. And I think the most
the most important thing that your audience needs to know
is that Biden Harris, they are the authors of this
inflation battle. They created this and they keep stoking it.
The one point nine trillion dollar COVID eight that was ridiculous.

(21:34):
We did not need that. The trillion dollars Inflation Reduction Act,
it does not reduce inflation. All of this money you
know we're giving you saw last week, Micron, we gave
me point five billion dollars in tax payer money. You
know what they gave us a return. They're going to
lay off fifteen thousand people.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Hey for a train.

Speaker 12 (21:53):
It's insane. I mean I just talked about Kroger, right,
Kroger has four hundred and twenty thousand employees. Do you
really want to do you really want to hurt Kroger
because you're only hurting Americans. It's just here's I think,
and this is one thing I keep saying to everyone.
None of this has anything to do with economics, and
we have to put that into perspective. That's why it's

(22:14):
so illogical. They try to wrap a.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Rate cut from the FED. You think when talking about this,
I mean, interrupt member, because I've been hearing this like.

Speaker 13 (22:21):
For what a year?

Speaker 12 (22:23):
Yeah, I know, I know, I know this The fed
to me has really made a huge They've botched this
so badly that Jay poal fed.

Speaker 14 (22:30):
You know.

Speaker 12 (22:30):
Of course they boxed it from the very beginning when
they were fighting inflation. Their first rate hike was only
twenty five basis points. It should have been like seventy
five basis points. Right, it was an emergency, an emergency,
you do emergency things. Well, remember they thought inflation was transitory,
and I think they're making the same sort of mistake here.
And the big problem is they keep looking at the
economy as aggregate. They keep saying when they say the

(22:52):
consumer is wrong, nothing pisses me off to that. I mean,
the consumer is not strong. You know, you put you
you had ten middle income households, were one billionaire, and
you crunch the numbers and you say, well look at
the average, right, No, that's not how it works in
real life. In real life, the consumer is crushed. It's
getting hammered. Credit cards keep going up, Delinquency is going

(23:14):
through the roof. We're at twenty three percent interest. We're
getting absolutely annihilated. You know, the mortgage report that came out.
It comes out weekly in the mortgage applications, and they
tried to put a happy face on that. Oh, it's
up huge. Now there's two parts of it, refines and
purchasing a home. Only one percent movement purchases. People are refined,
refinancing their homes. They're getting helocks to pay their bills.

Speaker 9 (23:37):
Ooh.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Talking with our good friend Charles Payin, I want to
switch it up and ask you about the VP pick, because.

Speaker 12 (23:43):
Is it you know.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
I don't want to sound mean, but it's weird that
this guy, to me, he's sixty something years old, he
doesn't own any property, he has no stocks. No, I mean, canaan,
I'm a producer. We're talking about this on break like.
I mean, even with your retirement and your saving, I mean,
you got something. He doesn't have anything like this when

(24:04):
he was reporting in before accepting the nomination. Is that's
really unusual to me. I don't think, Charles, I trust
anybody that doesn't have any of that.

Speaker 12 (24:15):
Right, because you're essentially you're saying, so you don't trust
people that are trusting any things that we're putting our
money into, right, and they won't protect it. They won't
protect it. He has no skin in the game. He
has no stocks, bonds, crypto, real estate, index funds, mutual funds,
no private equity, no retirement accounts. And he had a
house but he sold it. He has nothing. But what
can we This guy's Bernie Sanders. He vacationed in communists China.

(24:36):
He loves communists China. And here's what you need to know.
And while he was governor of Minnesota. During his governorship,
the people who've left the state for over four thousand
people making two hundred thousand years, six thousand people making
one hundred thousand a year, a thousand people making seventy
five thousand a year, two thousand people making fifty thousand

(24:57):
a year, almost a thousand people making twenty five thousand
and the only people that moved into that state are
earning earn twenty five thousand dollars or less. Think about that.
All the productive people in that state are leaving. That's
all you need to know. They're running, they're fleeing this guy,
and we should actually have a national policy that had
what he does not believe. Kamala Harris and this guy

(25:20):
Tim Wallas do not believe in capitalism. In fact, I
think they want to really destroy capitalism and the name.
And again it's not economic, it's ideology for ideological reasons.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
That's a really good point that you just said talking
with our friend Charles Pain, host to Make the Money
with Charles Pain, which you can watch on Fox Business
every day all weekdays two to three pm Eastern. What
you just said there, I think is one of the
big ways in which people, some people may approach the
arguing this incorrectly because it's ideology. It's not economics. It's
ideology with them, I mean it is, you know, freedom

(25:51):
with your money or no freedom with your money.

Speaker 12 (25:54):
They don't like America. They do not they do not
like the Constitution. They still are fighting the wars of yesteryear.
They want to fight the wars of slavery, the wars
of Jim Crow. They want to go back. It wasn't
good enough to tear down all the statues. They want
to go back and relitigate our history through policy. And

(26:16):
you know, so ironic when when their campaign now is
that the Republicans want to take you back, right. No, yeah,
you're the one who keeps going backward. You're the one
who keeps talking about things that happen one hundred and
fifty years ago, as if they're going to happen tomorrow.
You're the one who keeps scaring the hell out of people.
Why there's nothing else you can sell? And think about
a nation that picks their leaders based on fear. Every

(26:39):
time that's really happened throughout history, the outcome has been devastating.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
That is such a great point talking with our friend
Charles Paying, Charles, I know you got to get ready
for your show. I got one more question for you.
I always appreciate your time. I always think that Republicans
do the best when they're disciplined with messaging, and nobody's
better on you know, talking about the econ me and money.
I mean, good grief. I mean, I mean Trump was
literally on a show about that. I mean he was,

(27:05):
you know, he's on a show about making boardroom decisions
and creating businesses and all this stuff. And when he's
real disciplined and on point when talking about the economy,
that resonates really well, because you got independence out there,
that are broke moderates out there, that are broke democrats
that are taking inventory what they got. And I'm well,
I don't know, maybe maybe going to Republican this time
around is the best bet. What do they need to
do to really drive that point home going into November,

(27:29):
because we're five weeks not even we're less than five
weeks away from early voting.

Speaker 12 (27:33):
So I've got a friend I've known for forty five years.
He's always voted Democrat, and he really, really, to your point,
is so upset he's going to vote Republican or you
would like to And he texts me wants a dance, says,
why is Trump saying these things? Oh?

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Boy?

Speaker 12 (27:47):
When he gets off the message, and yeah, you're right,
Trump points out what we all know and feel. I
think they need to add a layer of facts on it,
because everything he says is going to be shot down
or challenged or twisted. For instance, when he says black jobs,
you know, they take that and say, oh, he's the racist.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
No.

Speaker 12 (28:04):
Essentially, what he's saying is what a McKenzie report said
last year, forty five percent of Black Americans in a
private secretory work in just three industries were the most
with the average past thirty thousand a year. The best
industry is in transportation, with the highest pays seventy thousand
a year. What President Trump needs to say is how
come after giving your vote, your heart, your soul and

(28:26):
all your pain is suffering to Democrats for six decades.
This is where half your population is. I want to
change that. He just needs to layer in a little
bit of facts to push off the don't allow them
to change your message the way he says things, he
allows them to interpret it form and for the public.
If you laid it out there, just with a little
sliver of facts behind it, I think he can reignite

(28:47):
the campaign.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Gosh, that needs to that needs to be in get
into his campaign's ear. Or would you need to send
Charles with the White House that's also just cut out
the middle man and just send you know, vote pain.
You know that makes paying twenty twenty eight. I don't know,
Charles Pain. I always agree. I always appreciate you, my friend.
You are my favorite. You are literally my favorite money
program on TV, and I actually make a point to

(29:11):

Speaker 7 (30:29):
States when we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles
and reduce population. More of our children can breathe clean
air and drink clean water.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
What is she talking about? Like, Yeah, I mean dums
the rules, right, she was to kill us all.

Speaker 9 (30:53):
See, if you kill people and reduce their numbers, then
they won't have to drink out have dirty bottles. Yeah,
they won't have to drink out of the ravine soup
in the French quarter. Big, big difference. I mean, Kyle Lee,
her voice is weird. Her tonality, it's shrill, it's pitched weird,

(31:17):
and it always sounds like she's about to choke on it. Right,
it's like right in the back of her right in
the back of her throat.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
It's weird. By the way I saw this, I should
say that you see some of the headlines, by the way,
hold up, so there's no other way to put this
out here. Sometimes I wonder what these media outlets are
doing when they write these headlines, because Trump apparently was

(31:46):
talking about why are you doing that with your headcane.
Trump was talking about being in a helicopter that went
down with Willie Brown may or Willy Brown, and some
people are saying that he's confusing him with Jerry Brown,
which you know, I can see how that's you know,
I can see how one might do that. But San

(32:08):
Francisco Chronicle SAIDs quote Trump says that he went down
in a helicopter with Willy Brown. Former San Francisco mayor
says it never happened.

Speaker 15 (32:19):
It.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
I just want to point out that the amount of
restraint that I am affecting over myself right now to
not make the most obvious joke that has ever been
out there and available for the taking in political discourse,
I should get a Pulitzer for that.

Speaker 6 (32:40):
I want to encourage the self at it that you do.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
So I praise this, I commend you because he went
down in a helicopter with Willy Brown.

Speaker 6 (32:48):
And I'm thankful.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
I know, I know, and it's usually not with Lily Brown.

Speaker 16 (32:54):
Seriously, right now, if you stopped, if you stopped like
right here, then you wouldn't ever have to worry about
going farther.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Yeah, but what's on the other side, what's over there?
What I see it is that Criss Greener.

Speaker 12 (33:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Normal men, what you mean normal men?

Speaker 6 (33:22):
We're just innocent, man.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
But you know what I meant, though they're in the helicopter,
and San Francisco says, you know, Trump says he went
down the helicopter with Weeley Brown, the former mayresses. Never happened,
and he's like, I know that it never happened because
it was.

Speaker 7 (33:38):
With me and not.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
I didn't go anywhere. I didn't know. I'm still looking
at it from across the bridge.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
What could be?

Speaker 3 (33:51):
But I'm not going there.

Speaker 6 (33:52):
You had a nice distance from it, though I did.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
I have a very nice distance. There are some sweet
people out there going. I just don't know what she's
talking about. Gonna go ahead and get my my church
donation ready, don't know what she's talking about.

Speaker 6 (34:07):
So you're saying Donald Trump said he went down in.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
A helicopter with Willy Brown with and Willy Brown's like,
it wouldn't mean because it's never with me. He was
apparently talking about Jerry Brown. Jerry, it's the incorrect.

Speaker 6 (34:24):
Also California, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Also California. You see how you can make the mistake. Yeah,
you can make the mistakes quite easily. So anyway, I
thought you'd like it. Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what
I was One of the things I was thinking of,
you know, right there, So Uh, coming up the Trump
assassination attempt. New body cam video. It's wild. Wait until

Speaker 15 (35:56):
They're asking me about this Waltz from Minnesota.

Speaker 10 (35:59):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 15 (36:00):
As Florida governor, I learn a lot about other states
because when people leave those states, they tell me why
they left those states. And I remember during COVID the
absolute frustration that people had moving from Minnesota because of
how they were being treated. You know, this is a
guy that's out there. He's got this line in the

(36:21):
stump speech saying, you know, our neighbors can do what
they want. Mind your own damn business. Fine, then why
did you set up a snitch hotline for neighbors to
report on their neighbors for violating your draconian COVID restrictions.
That's not minding your own damn business. That's government overreach.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
He's right, I mean, we that's Governor Ron De Santis.
I mean it's and that's what. That's what Walls did.
He set up a snitch line, an actual snitch line.
I don't think anything makes me angrier about that, because
I'm still mad over the whole lockdown thing. I'm still
mad about it. I mean, wants got the phone call.
I mean this was the actual phone call. When you

(37:03):
would call it, like the snitche line. You saw somebody like, oh,
they weren't wearing their face painty. Oh no, I sew
them out of their house and they wouldn't wearing their
face painty. I better call that snitch line and then
you would pick up your phone. You would call Governor
Tim Walls's snitch line and you would dial the number
to the snitch line and it would take you to this.

Speaker 8 (37:28):
Hello, you have reached for the Department of Public Stay
at Home Hotline. The information you leave is considered public
information at the tone. Please leave the following information your name,
your callback number, how the stay at home order is
being violated, and where the stay at home order was violated.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Thank you, It was violated at your mom. I swear,
I can't you know. We made fun. We like look
at what's been happening in Britain? You know where it's
it's you see, like a two tier system of justice,
and people have been like they've been in trouble. Like

(38:07):
for instance, there's a guy who was told he after
he beat up an emergency worker. His name's Ms Staffa
al madibab Bob, and he was ordered to pay two
pounds a month for assaulting an emergency worker. He was
let off with community service as he does not speak English.
And then a guy named Stephen Mallin, he was jailed

(38:28):
for twenty six months because he gesticulated at the police.
He gesticulated, I got my feels hurt because he made
an X with his arms and thrusted me. I got
my feels hurt. So it's happening over there. And then
you got Waltz over here making a snitch line. By

(38:50):
the way, Welcome back everybody. Second hour. Top of the
second hour, Danie Lash with you. Discussion over at Rumble
where you can stream the show. Also Channel thirty forty
seven Direct TV were on sign up at substack the
newsletter chapter in verse. So they so I saw this
one pick real quick, this is killing me Washington Post.
I talked about this hat yesterday and how Real Tree

(39:11):
I explained the licensing and how Real Tree does not
support Harris Walls, Harry Walls and Washington Post goes. Minnesota
Governor Tim Walls just posted a photo of himself wearing
the relief Harry Walls Camo hat. In quotations, they're like, ooh, Camo,
it's a novelty. The sold out back ordered campaign merch,

(39:33):
the sind up of what's a send up of Minnesota
governor's trademark Midwestern dad fashion? Giving MAGA a run for
its money. Whose grandma wrote this? Look, he's an old
man wearing a hat. That must be some send up
trademark Midwestern dad fashion. Can you get any more word

(39:54):
salad in there? You damn dreaded zoomer to send up
of the Minnesota governor's trademark Midwestern dad fashion. What he's costplaining,
I mean, good grief, this is so stupid. That's all
they have. That's all they have is the hat. So

(40:17):
I don't know, man, They're like their costplaane is regular
everyday people. This is what I think is so funny.
Nobody can afford a damn thing, but they're selling forty
dollars camo hats. Guys, show us that you're a Midwestern
show us your Midwestern dad fashion by purchasing in a
time of great inflation, where butters like eight dollars and

(40:39):
a dozen eggs or seven a forty dollars Midwestern dad hat.
It's just a ball cap, you've dumbasses. Have they never
seen a ball cap before? This old man puts a
ball cap on his head and they're like, quick, how
can we make this niche? It's Midwestern dad fashion. Have
you ever been to the Midwest? Of people writing about this,
they never been to the Midwest. Oh my god, can't

(41:03):
deal with that. All right, So some of the other stuff,
I got a lot to think. Oh I got a
lot here.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
First up, let's because you know Biden is still in office, right,
you guys know this, right, he's still there. Yeah, guys,
he's doing the he's doing the big stuff. He's focusing
on some very important problems right now, important problems that
are roiling the nation, and that is plastic cutlery. In

(41:37):
a bid to save the world, the Biden administration has
announced a plan to target plastic cutlery across federal departments.
They're taking aim at the climate crisis. It's in all
hands on deck response. So China dumps like actual garbage

(42:04):
and turns into the ocean. Nobody says anything to them.
Chemicals they make their legs pink and toxic. They do
all that, they don't care, and the United States says, well,
I guess we should get rid of her plastic culery.
That's going to save the world. I said, by an
administration's approach to this, you have to you have to

(42:27):
drink out of a straw that literally dissolves in your
mouth and in your drink. So China condemped chemicals in
the ocean. I know, by the way, is that not
the worst thing?

Speaker 14 (42:41):
Ever?

Speaker 3 (42:42):
When I get my cup and if there is a
paper straw in it, I want to throw the whole
cup at I want to throw it. It takes everything
I have. I want to throw it. It makes me so.
It's so And there's dyes on that damn straw, you notice.
And it's always those stripey stripey straws. That's die, that's die.
It's going in your drink because it's a stupid paper straw.

(43:04):
You can can't even make words. It makes me so
angry I have. I have a what is it? Cornstar straw?
I would buy plastic, but they don't make them in
these fun colors like this that I can get on Amazon. Socist.
I didn't mean to be good to the earth. I
just don't come on.

Speaker 16 (43:23):
I just the cool thing about those is they eventually
do dissolve. But I've left one in a drink just
to see how long it would take for it to dissolve,
and after like two or three days, it still is
a straw.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
Yeah, it's a straw. So I don't know why people
don't do that. It was so easy for me to do,
and they go for those fashioned striped straws. I hate
those stupid things because you know that's like toxic dye
on those dumb things too, And it's not all you're drinking,
you're consuming. It's so dumb anyway. So yeah, that's what
he's doing. He's going to reduce the sale of single
use plastic products on public lens. Well, what are you

(43:56):
supposed to eat with? But if you if you go
to like a museum or or something, you go to
their little sitting cafeteria at a park on public land,
you think they're gonna be going out and buying some No,
it's gonna you know what, it's gonna be like, what's
that place? Medieval times? It's gonna be like medieval times and.

Speaker 12 (44:10):
You gotta go in.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
They're just gonna give you turkey like you're gonna gnawed
everything with your hands. That's what they're gonna do. Can
I tell you a story about that? By the way,
I legit just heard thunder right now? The hell is
going on in Texas? Are your windows down? Look at us?
We're like, can do you need to go roll your
windows up? So you've been in medieval times? Right? That's

(44:33):
like the castle where you know, if you're buying medieval
times and you've never gone when there wasn't any in Missouris.
When we moved here to Texas, we had we went twice.
You had to go and I you know, I'm not
I'm not gonna prove I always. My husband was like,
this kind of bougie Dana because I brought literally plastic
cutlery with me.

Speaker 6 (44:52):
I've seen people do that, Okay.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
My husband was like, why are you doing that? Because
we evolved and invented this stuff. That's what That's why
I'm doing it. Look at this. We don't eat with
our feet and hands anymore because we evolved as a species.
That's why I'm bringing it in.

Speaker 6 (45:07):
I'm improving my chopstick skills.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
I wrote wet ones and everything. I'm like, I could
sit here and just eat this stuff with my hands,
scooping up some taters or whatever, but I ain't doing it.
You know, I'm not gonna do it.

Speaker 6 (45:19):
Clean my hands off on my jeans.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
Yeah, They're like, yeah, well they basically send someone to
lick your hands off with your napkins. They don't do that.
But yeah, it's just so bad. So I was just like, nope,
I'm gonna take care of my business because I came prepared.
My husband could not believe. He looked at me and
he was like, I'm watching you open like the equivalent
of a quick mart here at medieval times. It's like, no, no, no,
there's certain things that I don't do. And it's not

(45:42):
because I'm being bougie or anything like that. Like I
love the outdoors and I love rocks, and I mean
it's like I got to eat dirt or something to
like convince people that I love nature. I love nature.

Speaker 13 (45:51):
What But he do.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
It's great. I love being outdoors, but you know what,
I also don't like pretending to be homeless. And that's
why I don't camp. Because we as humans invented the house,
and as of as a result, we stay in them, right,
just like we as humans invented cutlery, and so I
will use that. I am not going to throw away

(46:14):
generations of achievements of our ancestors by saying no, I
don't want your house or your cutlery gonna pretend to
be without. I'm not doing that. I'm just not gonna
do it.

Speaker 6 (46:27):
Sorry, tents first.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
But then we invented the house. M hmm. It's like saying,
let's go back to the flintstone cars. Let's pretend for
a little bit. Nope, that's okay, I'm good, I'm all
right anyway. Biden, Yeah, Well that Biden's he's gonna solve
all the world's problems because he's gonna go after the

(46:51):
plastic forks and will fork you. It's not gonna do anything,
not gonna do nothing. I mean, basically, isn't it gonna
just raise cast some people. It's gonna be like military
bases and government workplaces. So instead of maybe here's the thought,
instead of trying to reduce the use of plastic cutlery,

(47:14):
here's that maybe reduce the size of the federal government.
What that sounds like a great idea. You know, if
you have fewer people in government, you have fewer people
using the plastic cutlery.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
Oh what I know?

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Amazing, is it not?

Speaker 1 (47:34):
So?

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (47:35):
That's what he's been That's what he's been focusing on.
If you in case you wonder where Joe Biden was now,
uh the uh. Furthermore, we got a whole bunch of
stuff getting I mentioned earlier at the first hour, Nancy
Pelosi and Biden and how the Biden people. There are
some Biden people that are making little chirps to the

(47:56):
press saying that it was Nancy Pelosi that shoved him out.
Pelosi said, in an interview with The New Yorker, quote,
I've never been that impressed with his political operation talking
about Biden.

Speaker 14 (48:10):
Ooh ooh, So it sounds like there's a little bit
of discord there.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
What a shame that would be if it blew up
further Hmmm. We got a lot more on the way.
We got headlines coming up. Brett Thoril'll be joining us later.

Speaker 5 (49:47):
All right.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
So, by the way, if you're watching the simulcast on
the stream, we just lost power. There's a major storm
rolling through Texas. So my big hoss generator just kicked in,
so we're going to be back up and run in
here very shortly. So I just want to let y'all
know that, all right. So, first off, twelve F twenty
two fighters reportedly inbound in the land in the Middle

(50:08):
East for force posturing against Iran. That's scent Com. They
confirm that an unspecified number of F twenty two Raptor
stell fighters have arrived in their area of responsibility. So
that's going to be interesting to watch. Keep it. That's
one of the things you got to keep an eye on.
It's not the it's not the vax guys, I mean
the injections. No drink is safe. Studies show alcohols link

(50:28):
to a growing list of cancers. Everything causes cancers, but
you know what definitely does. I's gonna say it could
be the shot the same COVID fell to the tenth
leading cause of death in the US last year, down
from fourth, because we should be learning about how viruses work,
but we're not. The Pegasus is a revolutionary hybrid flying car.

(50:48):
I don't want a hybrid flying car. It can travel
on the highway and fly for up to three hours.

Speaker 13 (50:52):
I do not.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
I want gas and oil. Something that I can measure
and something that I know is gonna work. I'm just
gonna say, but it uses an electric charge for ground
travel and asked for flying authorities in Australia have already
approved it. I am not excited about air travel like
everybody in the air because I've seen everyone try to
drive and it's just kind of a nightmare. I just
can't imagine how that's gonna work. AI is basically just

(51:15):
a homework cheating machine. Now I feel like AI is
going to make our students dumber open. AI has a
tool to detective something was written by chat GPT, but
it hasn't released it yet, and so now apparently, I mean,
they've already been banning all kinds of stuff in classrooms,
but they said that the most common use was creative
writing and role play and all kinds of stuff. So

(51:38):
if you have like a writing assignment, a lot of
students have been using it for that. The state of
Louisiana becomes the first to impost surgical castration on child rapist.
Good job, Louisiana. Although they should be murdered entirely. Actually
it's not murdered. It's called justice. They should be killed entirely.
It's the fourth place in the world with such punishment.

(51:59):
So if you're not gonna kill them, castrate them. I
think that's a genius job. Hat tip to Louisiana. Were
becoming the first state to impose surgical castration on child rapists,
and they've done that. It includes rape, incest, and molestation. Obviously,
it's an irreversible medical progress. The only other places you
can do a Czech Republic, Madagascar and Nigeria. It's not

(52:20):
like chemical castration. It's much more invasive. They literally it's surgical.
They take it all off. That's it. And if you
commit a sexual offense against the child under thirteen in Louisiana,
you're a prime candidate for it. All right, We're gonna

Speaker 3 (54:14):
Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash here with you.
We had just like this awesome storm that rolled through.
I always love it when I hear the thunder through
our totally soundproof studio and my ear pro and all
that stuff, and I can I hear it and then
the lights went out and it was like kind of
spooky in a really awesome way. We wanted to roll
with it, but you can't.

Speaker 5 (54:34):
You know, we got it.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
We're doing professional lady radio guys, So Dana lash with you.
We're at the bottom of the second hour. Good to
be with you. Today is National Book Lover's Day. Caine
reminds me, I love books. I love holding them. I
love the way the pages smell. I well, I can
never read off of an e device. I could never
do it. I have to hold the book in my hand.

(54:55):
And I have a ton of books from this guy.
Actually saw somebody and I was trying to take a
picture of someone reading his book at the airport in
Nassau and it was shadowed out. It was his new book,
and I was trying not to look like a stalker,
and I wanted to take a photo of this guy
reading brad Thor's book. And my husband's like, what are

(55:15):
you doing because I'm trying to be all surreptitious about
it and just like hold it in a certain way,
and it was not working. I mean, it was all blurry.
So I was like, He's not the kind of thing
I'm lying, but our very good friend Brad Thor, who
is America's favorite author, master of thriller. He's got the
best background and the best glasses, and he's just an
all around cook. I've known him for years and he's

(55:36):
the number one time number one New York Times bestseller
as well Wall Street Journal best selling author. Everybody loves
him and Brad Thor is joining us now via Skype.
Good to see you, my friend. That is a true
story though, and it's weird, Like what do you do
if you are in like Sara in a airport and
you see someone reading your book? Do you like go
up to them?

Speaker 7 (55:54):
Like what do you do?

Speaker 1 (55:56):
I do go up to him, and I often ask
how's that book?

Speaker 5 (56:00):
It's okay?

Speaker 3 (56:00):
Or I love it or whatever.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
Now you know what, you get it, you get it all.

Speaker 5 (56:04):
And that's that's funny.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
Somebody might be like, oh, you know what, this was
in my Airbnb and I grabbed it into my way out,
and I'm normally such and such reader and I'm reading
this now and I love it or whatever. It's really funny.
I love to play with people a little bit. I'm like, huh, okay,
what do you love about it?

Speaker 3 (56:18):
What's good.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
So anyway, I do have a good time with that.
And our old friend Andrew Breitbart used to actually take
out his phone in airports and call me and hand
the phone to some unsuspecting stranger.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
He was nuts, that's that I should have just been here.

Speaker 5 (56:33):
You want to talk to the author?

Speaker 3 (56:34):
Yeah, that we actually did that one time. You and
I were at like a Range day fundraiser and I
want to say, this was like in Tennessee somewhere, and
my cousin, Yeah, yeah, my cousin, who is a huge
fan of you, just happened to like call or text
or something while I was there, and I'm like, wait
a minute, do you want to talk to brad Or.
He could not believe it at first. He was like,

(56:56):
na uh, Braddroor is actually not there. I'm like, he
legit is right here, Like I'm not making this stuff up.
These people are here and you talked to him and
that like made his life. That was so great. But
I swear I did see somebody in the airport reading
and I'm like, I really want to go up to
that person. But it was a really early morning. We
had already been like our flight had been canceled. And
all this stuff, So I was like, is it gonna
be good? I don't know anyway, but congrats on the

(57:18):
new book and you got a great you got a
great roll up video for this, And I know I
ask you every time that you're on the program. Is
that because you do roll up videos for your awesome books?

Speaker 12 (57:27):
Now?

Speaker 3 (57:28):
Is it just because you're like a big time bestseller
or it's because you're doing some like you know, programming
with it too, like television movies. Well a little bit.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
I mean I can say this, we are very close
to finding a home for the TV series now, so
we were just able to release the names of the
a team working on this. We've got Chan Staholski is
our director, who directed all the John Wick movies. Oh,
You've got Howard Gordon, the force behind twenty four and Homeland,
is our executive producer. And then we've got Steve light Foot,

(58:00):
who wrote the Punisher series, did both seasons for Netflix
as our writer. So we are super stoked. And right
now our director is overseas filming the reboot of Highlander,
that movie with Christophe Lambert and Sean Connery. So he
rebooting that and then he comes back to the us,
and then all the big meetings that all the streamers
and cablers start this fall.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
That's amazing. I've never been more jealous of a human
than I am of you right now. That's actually pretty amazing.
He's like all the things that you love, Dana. They're
all working on this series right here.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
Yeah, it's still Hollywood. This thing could still crash and burn.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
Don't say that because I need something to watch, No,
you too, Listen.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
I want this thing to go across the finish line.
But if there's one thing I've learned about Hollywood, it's
you don't know until it's on the screen. There's nothing
that's definite. So we're excited. It's the best team we've
ever assembled in two decades of.

Speaker 5 (58:50):
Trying to do this.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
So we're really we're really pumped.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
That's awesome. And his latest book, Shadow of Doubt, which
you can get anywhere, it was released last week. I
mean it's also a bestseller as well. This is I
was trying to count and remember, this is what the
twenty second, twenty third.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
Book that you have in the series, in the Harvest series,
right And I've said to you and I'll say it
one more time for your listeners. My books are like
the James Bond movies. If the New Bond is in
your local multiplex, go see it. It doesn't matter if
you've ever seen a Bond movie before. And it's the
same thing with my books. You can run right out
and start with Shadow of Doubt, doesn't matter if you've
ever read a Brad thor book before.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
That's awesome. I mean, I love that you do that
because you can weave them all together, but also their
standalones as well. It's very cool talking with our friend
Brad Thor. So I got to ask you because you're
always inspired by real events for these books that you write,
and I'm you know, I'm just I don't even know
how everything playing out right now is going to inspire

(59:45):
your next one. But I remember the last time we spoke,
we were talking about people in the I don't know
if they were up in the Hindu Kush or where
they were, but they were like some Indian fighters and
some Russian fighters or whatever, Chinese fighters. Everybody was fighting
up in the mountains, shoving each other off. I mean,
are you going to turn into the Simpsons where you're
going to start, like, you know, foretelling events in the future,
like what, I'm just curious as to how this works.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Well, it's so funny because the new one Shadow of Doubt,
Scott Harvath, has got his fiance. Scott's the CIA is
lethal weapon. He fell in love with the woman who
works for Norwegian intelligence. And in this book, the Norwegians
get a hold of a high level Russian defector and
the US is afraid that this defector has information we

(01:00:29):
desperately need. So they say to Harvath, listen, your fiance
is doing the debrief on this guy. We need you
to ask her some questions. And he says, absolutely not.
I have never said no to a mission. I'm a patriot,
I love my country. I draw the line at that,
and they blackmail him into service and that kicks off
the book. And it was funny because my thriller Black Ice,
which was all set in Norway a few summers ago,

(01:00:50):
became kind of this book that was passed around the
Norwegian government and I got invited to dinner in DC
at the Norwegian ambassador's house.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
Wow, I told her.

Speaker 12 (01:00:59):
I told her.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
She's like, well, what's what's Shadow of Doubt about? And
I said, it's it's this story about the CIA blackmails
this American guy in the spying against his Norwegian spy
why fiance, And the Ambassador's like, oh, no, no, we'd
never withhold information from the US where your ally. And
I said, of course it's fiction.

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
It's fiction, but you're there. That's what they would say,
people who would I mean, that's what a country should say. No,
we would never withhold information. But also at the same time,
I kind of would question a country that wouldn't as
a way to gain leverage just for its own assurances.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
Well, the cool thing about the Norwegians, and I didn't
know this for a long time, I didn't know we
hide a ton of US military equipment in caves in
northern Norway. And I thought that was so cool about
our partnership with the Norwegians, that we not only store
all this stuff there, but the Norwegians maintain it for us.
So if we go to war someplace, you know, the
Middle East or something like that, we can get the

(01:01:54):
stuff out of the caves in Norway. We don't have
to wait to load stuff on ships and planes in
the US. We can start moving it out of Norway,
which is really really cool. They're great partners, and so
this book is a lot of fun in that harve
Ad and his fiance both don't trust their own governments,
and so they have to work together to get to
the bottom of what's about to explode in Western Europe
and in the United States.

Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
I feel like you've been to the caves then, as
you know, as a part of your fact finding, you know,
for the purpose of the book. I mean, that's just see,
I wouldn't he totally has you wouldn't tell It's okay
if you don't have to tell me, that's okay, we
know you did. We know you were over there in
those Norwegian caves. That's all right. Actually that's really cool
because you know it's and I you know, I think
it's a testament to the interesting relationship that we have

(01:02:36):
with Norway as well and particularly with Russia. So with
the latest with Iran, talk a little bit about this
because you know, obviously you're a political dude. You've you know,
you've everybody knows your background, and people aren't familiar with
Brad's background. He was in Department of Homeland Securities Analytic
Red Sale Unit. He's been he's spoken law enforcement organizations,
all kinds of stuff. I mean, he knows this, he

(01:02:57):
knows is his stuff. But I'm you know, I'm cres
is with the state of things. We're getting ready to
go into a We're in a weird position because it's
a very weird political cycle. I didn't think i'd say
that again, but here we are, and we've got really
weak foreign policy right now, and I feel like every
tyrant in the world everyone's just sort of holding their
breath waiting to see what happens in November, and if

(01:03:18):
anybody were going to take the opportunity to act and
do anything, it would be like October or November when
everything is like it's at peak disarray. Not to freak
everybody out, but I just kind of wanted to get
your educated take on that. Yeah, so you're correct.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
There's a lot of ability for bad actors, particularly Iran
Visa VI Israel, to make problems leading up to the
up to the election. Now, if power changes hands, if
we've got a Trump administration coming in and Harris doesn't win,
that period from November to January is also going to
be another dangerous period because it's the last window for

(01:03:57):
any bad guys that don't want to run a file
of a Trump administration to achieve whatever they want to achieve.
So we're in two very dangerous time periods. Right, it's
three months now until the election, and then it's from
the election if Trump wins, to Trump's inauguration, where we
could have a whole other set of problems. So this
is really a time where we have to be on
our toes and paying attention to what's going on around

(01:04:19):
the world. But I, like you, I'm very concerned about
in Iran pushing the advantage now maybe in hopes of
really getting kind of the hard left wing the progressives
up in arms once again about Israel and Palestine and
that kind of stuff, to maybe attempt to influence the election.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
So we'll see what happens. Has it shocked you to
see how pervasive that sentiment is across the United States,
because I know everyone was focusing on, oh, let's look
at the riots and the protests that have been happening
on college campuses, but it's beyond college campuses. I mean,
everyone was saying that one of the reasons that Josh Shapiro,
Governor of Pennsylvania, wasn't added to the ticket was because

(01:04:54):
of his faith and when you hear some of the
comments is some of these lawmakers, it's like, well, it
doesn't sound like that was far off the mark.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
Well it's yeah. It really is hard to parts that
stuff out. I mean, obviously Shapiro has got his positions.
What I saw this morning that blew me away. Actually
I was very very impressed because I did not expect
to hear these words come out of somebody on the
democratic side. Is James Meeks was on CNN this morning
and he said, is they were talking about what should

(01:05:22):
be done about Palestine and Israel. He said, let's make
one thing very clear. Hamas started this, and Hamas is
not an equal party to Israel, nor does Hamas deserve
to be treated like an equal party to Israel. We
can talk about the Palestinian people, what should happen in Palestine,
but the one thing we wanted, we do not want
to do, is draw any equivalency between the State of

(01:05:43):
Israel and the terrorist organization that is Hamas. I was
blown away. I thought I was hearing somebody from the
Freedom Caucus speaking, somebody from the right side of the aisle.
So to hear that coming from James Meeks, you know,
I like to give credit where credit is due, and
I also like to applaud people I think have a good,
sensible foreign policy position, and that's definitely one I've got
to throw to the Democrats and Meeks, I thought he

(01:06:04):
did a great job with that. But we are definitely yeah.
I don't want to see the you know, we're out
of school too, right, what happens when all these kids
start going back to school now, because we're getting to
mid August, and are we going to start to see
an uptick in protests again?

Speaker 5 (01:06:15):
I hope not.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
I don't want to go into it. I don't want
any influence on either side or from anywhere else. I
want people to be able to hear the issues and
make good informed opinions without fighters burning and nonsense like
that across the country.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
I completely agree with you, Brad Thor. The new book,
Shadow of Doubt the twenty third in the Scott harveth
series twenty three, and I know you're probably going to
have like twenty three more books. I am so excited
by the way for this to come out because I actually,
you know, some of the people that we have on
the show. I'm not able to read everything, but my
stepdad was reading your stuff. My cousin was reading your stuff.
I started. I loved your I like your character development,

(01:06:49):
and I love how quick it is, because I feel
like some thrillers you get really bogged down in the
details and it kind of drags, and I don't feel
like yours do that. They're very entertaining. I am so
not even halfway through twenty three books though. I'm not
even gonna lie, but I love I love how you
tell a story. They're incredibly compelling, and I am fascinated
to see how this plays out on screen, especially now

(01:07:11):
knowing the people that you've got working with it, because
that's gonna be a whole other animal.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
It's gonna be fun. And I want to extend an
invitation right now. I would love when we do the
premiere for you and Chris to be there with us. Oh,
we love Its fantastic to have.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):

Speaker 6 (01:08:44):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
I gotta go to the fish one first, A Florida
man legit stole l large fish from a sporting good store,
say police police in Florida. Relatedly County Sheriff's office. A
man entered a bass Pro in Fort Myers and literally
scooped up a fish in a net and then ran
out of the store. That's hungry, and he's on camera

(01:09:17):
doing it. How in the world he just walks in
and then runs out with this fish, scoops up the
fish and walks out with it. That's crazy. And police
were looking for the They're working with the Animal Cruelty
Task Force to locate the suspect. How do you flee
the store with a fish in a net? I'm curious quickly, Yeah,

(01:09:40):
they got it, because like back in twenty twenty, didn't
somebody jump in a tank at a bass Pro. I
feel like Bess Pronoun and needs to be on the
lookout for weirdos trying to do stuff to their tanks.
That's kind of how do you let a guy get away?
It's bass pro, right, how do you let a guy
get away with a fish in a net from brass pro?

Speaker 5 (01:09:58):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:09:59):
Stop it? Oh man? I mean I'd be like, no, sir,
I just couldn't do it, like put the fish back.
I don't know, I don't know. Let's see this. So
I told you the other day about a guy who
made a man cave out of shipping containers. So they've
been they county has been trying to get him to

(01:10:20):
tear it down. Brevard County. It's a Indy Atlantic homeowner
who built a man cave in his backyard with shipping containers.
That already sounded like it was gonna be problematic just
from the headline alone. They had a judge rule in
favor of the county. The guy's name is Joe Trosca.
They said his stacked containers broke code. At first they

(01:10:41):
were saying there was a safety issue, and then they said, okay,
now you fix that. Well, you got to make the
exterior look nice so it doesn't look like a bunch
of stacked shipping containers like that. Everybody can see from
their backyard. So he said he got two thousand dollars
to get this permit to have them. The county said
it granted to him by mistake. That's still not his problem.
I mean, if the county granted it to you and

(01:11:02):
it's like a mistake, that's not anybody else's problem. So
as it is, they're they're still fighting it out. But
he's like, they are accusing him of deviating from the plan,
but he really didn't though. I mean, everything that he's
doing with it was to what was permitted. So and
the neighbors say it's a monstrosity, Well, the county should
have messed up. Stick with us. We got a third

Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
But watch out because he can comeboy down on you
over there.

Speaker 5 (01:15:30):
Oh, this is gonna cop full.

Speaker 4 (01:15:33):
Give you a letter.

Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
I mean, I got questions. So the guy had already
opened fire. The video starts with the guy jumping up

(01:15:58):
on the roof, seeing the guy and then like falling
off this building.

Speaker 4 (01:16:03):
He was on top of this building, the left one
I jumped up, the first one. That one laying down.
There's a gap in between you and there.

Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
There is also in this So this is some of
the body cam footage and they're just gonna let this
play out because this is in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and
this is just minutes after this guy had opened fire.
Now my understanding is at this time too that you're watching,
the Secret Service counter snipers had already taken this guy out,

(01:16:49):
and these guys are still I guess they're they're figuring
out everybody. I guess they're trying to figure out what
the situation is, Is it contained, Is the threat nullified
at this point and they get up and this was
the as you can see on the screen on the
simulcast there's a space between two buildings, but there's also

(01:17:11):
a way to climb up between both of them, and
that's where the guy who's wearing the camera. He was
the guy who had jumped up the first I think
like a minute whatever of his footage didn't have audio,
and then later as he was getting his gun, that's
when the audio picks up. So he's getting ready to

(01:17:32):
go back up on the roof. This is where he
went the first time, and then he raised the alarm
because he got up there and that's when he saw
the killer on the rooftop. So he gets back up
on this same rooftop and then he goes and then
he meets because they already had the other guys get
up there. This is Secret Services already had already taken

(01:17:54):
him out at that point. Welcome back to the program.
Top of this third hour, Dana Lash with you. There
is also uh it's from the law enforcement. It's from
their radios, and one of the law enforcement officers is
complaining in it. And he's complaining because he says that

(01:18:17):
they had he had told Secret Service earlier in the
week to post up somebody on that rooftop. Listen to this.
It's just short the audio, but it's the audio of
one of these. It's the it's the Butler PD, Butler
County PD. That as apparently on their radio. They were

(01:18:38):
telling these guys, this is audio at fourteen. They were
telling them. You know, I told them, like a week ago,
you can hear how angry. Listen this, you can hear
how angry he is.

Speaker 17 (01:18:50):
You would post the guys. I told him that the
can move the Secret Service. I told him that can Tuesday.
I told him the post guys over here.

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
Told him tuesday that rally was on Saturday. They said
he said he told him tuesday to have guys on
that rooftop. This is wild. It's also wild to me
that it's not being more widely discussed. I mean, you
had a former president might be next president who was

(01:19:22):
shot at. This is crazy. Just he was shot at
and so I'm I mean, I don't know, it's just
it's just absolutely wild to me with all of this.
And I mean there's a lot of there's a lot
of this stuff, and I think you have some other ones.
There was another bodycam footage and people were asking about
eyes on the water tower to Trump. There's a lot

(01:19:43):
of footage if you go on substack. By the way,
this is why you need to subscribe to Substack, chapter
and verse my newsletter. Lorraine has a huge piece and
it has all of the video up there because there's
several different bodycam footage, you know, art that we have
and that she's got up there, so you have several

(01:20:05):
different perspectives. Like someone else said, like, don't pull your
head up. He's right here, and it's showing the initial
police response to all of this, and now you know,
you know where everybody was when all of this happened.
They said that at four point thirty pm, and she
has this in her piece. One of the snipers, the
local sniper, left the AGR building after a shift change

(01:20:28):
and spotted the killer at a picnic table. Texted his
team to warn them that the guy was suspicious and
likely now knew where they were because he was trying
to get a gain as to where these guys were.
Then he was next spotted on the ground lurking around
that AGR building like forty minutes later, and then they
had photos of him. They had the local county. The

(01:20:48):
sniper texted photos of him to his dispatch try to
keep an eye on him. And then at that point,
and so this is after four point thirty. It's like
between four thirty and five thirty, that's when the communications
just apparently entirely broke down and they had their local
as Lorraine noted in this piece over at chapter and verse,
local PD had their headquarters in one spot. County was

(01:21:10):
in another, State was in another, Secret Service was in another,
and nobody apparently could talk. They said at five forty seven,
local dispatch was trying to reach his state PD contact
and he was advised that cell phone service was down.
So apparently PD was like by themselves to deal with it.
They were saying that the it's just wild how this was.

(01:21:32):
They said that PD was still searching for this dude
on the ground behind the AGR building at six o'
eight pm at the exact moment. So that's why those
guys were around the building because they were looking for
him on the ground. They did not know that he
was on the building. And so Copenhager, this is the
guy whose video you saw his body cam footage. That's
when he was he sees him and he tries to

(01:21:54):
go and figure out ascertain what's happening. They said at
six ' eleven Local PD off officer radios dispatch that
the dude was on the roof of the gun. Dispatch
uses his cell phone to call State PD to contact
to get a word to Secret Service so they can
notify then the Secret Service counter snipers. And then while
they were on that whole route Goldberg, Uh, you know

(01:22:15):
communication whatever, that's when shots rang out. When you have seconds.
They literally they had no way, they had no way
to actually effectively fast community to have fast communication. We see,
they had to use their phone to call STPD, STAPD,
had to get ahold of Secret Service. Secret Service had
to notice, had to notify the counter snipers. And then

(01:22:36):
while that was happening, shots rang out and one of
the SWAT officers from local Butler County, one of their swats,
said that he was on the ground. He said that
he never saw the killer, just the muzzle flash is
what he saw.

Speaker 14 (01:22:52):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:22:52):
And there was a worker who told Washington Post that
while everyone else was scrambling and running that that guy stood,
that the SWAT officer stood firm, aimed and fired and
that's when that guy flinched and stopped shooting and ducked.
So I mean it was uh, this is wild. And

(01:23:13):
then he popped his head up a few seconds later,
and that's when the counter sniper gut is opening, so
he stopped. I think he probably would have shot and
killed more people he was shooting. And when the one
when the local swat just was super chill and fired back,
that's when the guy stopped shooting, ducked for cover, and
then when he popped back up, that's when the counter
snipers had their opening and they took him out. This

(01:23:34):
is wild. There's this play a little bit of this
other video because there was I want to caution people
too that in situations like this, you are in a
it's you know, fog of war. There's a lot of
stuff happening. You're trying to figure out what's going on,
and a lot of things can be confusing, and especially
the acoustics of a place, it can be very very misleading.
You might think that you hear something in one area,

(01:23:54):
but depending on what the acoustics of the area are,
it may sound like it, it may sound like it
comes from somewhere else. I'm just throwing that out there.
But this was Beaver County Emergency Service Unit and Chuck
Grassley got this information.

Speaker 6 (01:24:09):
This was got this video, and then the last half
is a slow motion of what we see in the
first half.

Speaker 3 (01:24:14):
So go ahead, okay, I play this.

Speaker 4 (01:24:17):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:24:28):
Another planet slow mo. It's a guy on the rooftop.
He's looking.

Speaker 6 (01:24:35):
That trajectory from the water towers concerning they.

Speaker 3 (01:24:39):
But I also think too, without diving into speculation, they
might be thinking, and this is my first thought when
looking at this, not that is there a thread up there?
And they could be thinking that, But they also could
be thinking that isn't manned either? Is there anybody up
there too? Because they didn't have anybody up on They
didn't have anybody who posted the age we are rooftop,

(01:25:02):
So apparently I'm thinking that they didn't get they didn't
have anybody posted as that water tower either. What in
the world that was my That's my first thought in
seeing that. So not that they thought somebody might have
been up there taking shots necessarily, although hell, they couldn't
be sure at the time. And I don't think that

(01:25:24):
if anyone was up there and they got down, because
there were so many people on the ground at that point,
I don't think that they would have been able. There's
no way, but the fact that they were like, oh,
do we have eyes up there too? You should have
eyes on it, like they should physically be on it.
That kind of worries me. This is just I mean,
it's this unbelievable breakdown and it just shocks me. We

(01:25:45):
got a lot more to come as well. Uh, but
you should go and check out this piece over at substack.
All the video is up there on it. We got
more to come as we rolled towards Klee. We're already
at the bottom of this third.

Speaker 10 (01:25:56):
Hour and now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quick five.

Speaker 3 (01:26:03):
So a quick note in talking about and again you
can go to subsecond see all of this. James Copenhaber's
seventy four. He was one of the victims of the
killer there in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The bodycam footage is
from one of the local PD although there's a ton
of different footage, but there's several different videos that you

(01:26:25):
can go and see, all from different perspectives there. It's
all on my substack, chapter and verse all right. So
for headlines, more than half of Americans are buying food online.
They order groceries online for delivery. So this hasn't stopped
with the end of COVID and the lockdown and all
of that. So between July twenty third, I didn't know

(01:26:48):
it was this high. In July twenty twenty four, fifty
three percent of people so they had ordered items to
their house like this for grocery delivery, and they said
that it's like it's gotten more more popular, and they
said that the most popular category of food ordered online.
It's very This tracks snacks and candy, snacks and candy.

(01:27:12):
Are you serious? Oh my gosh, I can't even so this.
There's footage of this, and I have this as we
are looking at this Boeing seven thirty seventh thing, but
there's video of an aircraft. It's a fourteen year old
what is it ATR seventy two five hundred. It was
a flight in Brazil. It was bound for Sal Paulo

(01:27:35):
and it apparently something happened and it fell out of
the sky. This jet. It didn't just I mean it literally,
I've never seen a plane fall out of the sky
like this. It just it's a passenger plane. It went
into this out of control death spiral. So it was
just it just stopped going. It just started spinning uh
and it was loaded with at least a dozen dozens

(01:27:55):
of passengers. The footage was shared by Brazil Brazil's media. Yeah,
and it ended up it crashed into the ground, a
huge fireball. That's just horrific. And then, of course, now
then you have another Boeing blowout. Flight attendants thought passengers
had been stuck out of a plane. They said there
was somebody said there's a hole in the plane and
I'm sure we've lost passengers. And it happened on a

(01:28:17):
Boeing seven thirty seven and there US transported DSA was
looking into it. It was apparently like taking off from Portland.

Speaker 5 (01:29:55):
It matters a lot, local schools, feeding education and children.
It matters cultural centers celebrating Latino history of Latino culture,
which everybody ought to start learning more about. Well like parthetic.
You know that twenty eight out of every high school

(01:30:18):
students is Latino. We better start figuring it out.

Speaker 3 (01:30:23):
That's right. And the health of twenty eight out of
every high school student student, out of every high school
twenty eight out of all of the high school students,
twenty eight of them is Latino. Twenty eight is Latino.

Speaker 6 (01:30:37):
Of the students, it's undershooting the number.

Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
Got to figure out that out the twenty eight of
it itches it is Latino. Look, welcome back to the program.
That's ah, it's Potatos was speaking there at the White House.
This is yesterday, yesterday evening after we were off air.

(01:31:03):
He's there and he's probably already back in Delaware hooked
up to some machine. Oh my gosh, I don't know
what's worse him or her. All of it's bad, nothing's good.
Oh and then here's the other thing. Audio first of
welcome back, bottom of this third hour Gavin newsombody else
somebody twenty three I the Smarminess. First off, Gavin Newsom

(01:31:26):
decided he was going to tell all the media that
he was going to go clean clean up the homeless stuff.
So he went up there, sweeping all up, sweeping all
these people's stuff up, and then he's bemoaning the leadership
and tackling homelessness.

Speaker 6 (01:31:38):
Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
He's talking to the media about this.

Speaker 18 (01:31:40):
Satisfied with what cities and counties are doing because a
place like La City Law, Yeah, I mean cities. I've
been pretty impressed counties. No counties have been. You know,
there's a diffuse nature of leadership in a county. You
have multiple members of boards of supervisors, mayor there's one
per accountable. I think Mayor Bass has done a wonderful job.

(01:32:02):
She's been a great partner. You're seeing that down ten
point four percent and over ten percent decline in unsheltered
homeless population last year, so that's progress, but I'm not
seeing that at the county level. And with all due respect,
there's no more excuses. Everything the cities and counties have
asked for the State of California's delivered and the Supreme
Court just delivered. So there's no more excuses. So where's
the urgency. Drop everything else, get out there and address

(01:32:27):
the number one, two and three issue in the state
with an intensity of purpose. That's the kind of action
want to see.

Speaker 3 (01:32:32):
And again, for me, it gets me. Don't see it
when when bass La Mayor, when she was out there
going after reporters who asked her, remember they had that
under the freeway, they had the fire that started and
when people were asking her was it the homeless people
in the encampments that started the fire? And she like

(01:32:53):
like went at them publicly. She lost it over them.
Now he's like defending her. They absolutely when that fire happened,
they refuse to acknowledge that it was the homeless encampment
under that overpass that kicked that off. That was a
huge thing. And she had also said, and there was

(01:33:15):
a piece that Citizen Free Press had she had promised
to walk back the city's decision to break up homeless camps.
So where is the consistency on this? Maybe he was
just down there doing it because the Chinese Communist Chinese
leader was coming to visit again. Maybe he's running for
twenty twenty eight though that's what he's doing. Make no mistake,

(01:33:40):
he is running for twenty twenty eight. He wants to
put He wants to simultaneously own the progressive record of
California for the base while simultaneously putting distance between him
and his progressive record in California for the moderates in
the independence he is preparing for twenty twenty eight. Were

(01:34:00):
going to see a lot of him in the next
four years because he is gonna run in twenty eight.
I guarandamn to you that you can bank on He's
running in twenty twenty eight. Probably so will Andy Basher.
Probably so is Josh Shapiro. And they don't really have
a bench over on the Democrat side. That's it. I mean, really,
you're gonna have big Grutch. She's not gonna go anywhere.

(01:34:20):
But that's that's fascinating. So he's running, That's what That's
what all of that is. He is, He's running, and
there's you know, I so smarmy. I wanted to get
a couple of other things too. This story I didn't
get to you yesterday, but I'm gonna touch on it today.
This story had to do with this teacher that got

(01:34:41):
the absolute She just almost lost her life. She was
beaten almost to death by the six foot six giant dude.
He was seventeen at the time, Brendan Deppa. She had
told him he needed to put his game away. He
had like a Nintendo's switch, and she took it from him.

(01:35:02):
And he attacked her on video and just he tore
her ear. He just about beat her to death. He
knocked her unconscious and then he jumped on her and
punched her back in the back of the head, repeatedly
punched her. I mean she was He knocked her out.
She landed face first on the floor and he jumped

(01:35:26):
on her and just started beating her head from the back,
and finally somebody got him off of her. But she
had to go to the hospital. She had internal injuries.
It's affected her cognitive function. She had five broken ribs,
She had a busted ear drum, loss of hearing, concussion.

(01:35:49):
Excuse me. She had gashes on her face, her eyes.
One of her eyes was busted, it was totally bloodshot,
a dent in her nose, her ear was torn, and
he I mean it was crazy. She had taken his
switch away and he started screaming at her and called

(01:36:10):
her the B word and a wh word and then
spat at her. And she walked out into the hallway
and he ran out after her, rammed into her, and
when she hit the ground, it just knocked her out
and her head bounced and she was out, and she
was completely limp but he didn't stop. That's when he
jumped on her and just just beat her to death,
and she lost her job. She couldn't work the attorneys

(01:36:35):
because he was an adopted kid and his mom was
trying to say, oh, he's on the autism spectrum, so
he doesn't know. This is such First off, how dare
you diminish people who are on the spectrum and act
like people are somehow incapable of controlling emotions or being
dealt with. And if someone is so unstable, regardless of
whatever might be attributing to it, and if they are

(01:36:59):
that unstable that because they said everything was a trigger
to this dude video games? What do they say everything
was a trigger to him? You couldn't do anything, You
couldn't correct him, You can't correct him in front of
other people. You cannot criticize him. That doesn't sound like
a trigger. That sounds like he's up and you can't.
And he wasn't raised right. He was adopted and his

(01:37:22):
adoptive mother raised him from when he was very young,
and he just didn't He was a problem in class
and apparently they spent a lot of time on him
over the other kids because he was so just disruptive,
and so his attorneys tried to say, oh, well, the
teacher could not address his unique needs. Well, he sounded

(01:37:43):
also like he's an sob and that everyone tried to
placate him and use other factors as an excuse for
their laziness to actually correct his behavior. And it's not
her job to fix bad parenting. It is not a
teacher's job to fix bad parenting. And it is unfair

(01:38:05):
to a teacher to expect for them to offset what
parents are not doing at home bad parenting, and it's
unfair to all the other kids in the class. And
the victim wanted him to be thirty years. She wanted
the maximum thirty years in prison because he apparently had
a long history of violent behavior and disruptiveness. And the

(01:38:28):
judge said, well, because it wasn't an isolated incident at
the attack, it wasn't isolated, et cetera. So he only
got five years. Though students like him you cannot put
in a public school and like ingratiate with the rest
of the student body. It's impossible, and it's ignorant to
the rest of the student body for this, And maybe
that hurts people's feelings, but We're not here to tickle

(01:38:50):
the jimmy's of the everybody on the periphery at the
expense of disrupting an entire school. And now this woman,
I mean, it's lucky that she isn't killed. She is
permanently disabled. She lost everything, and the adoptive mother, the
adoptive mother sounds like part of the problem. She said
that her son was only sent to prison and she's

(01:39:11):
lucky he had got five years. He was being he
was only punished for being black. I am not kidding you.
That is what that be said. She said, the only
reON just so she's a white woman with blonde hair.
She's part of the problem. She said that the only
reason he was not because he jumped on her, on
the teacher and beat the teacher near death, and has

(01:39:32):
attacked other people and is a history of violent, very
violent behavior. It's because he was black. That's why he
was targeted. Meanwhile, this woman is struggling out to pay
her bills. I mean, she lost her life, she has
I mean, she still has. She has trouble speaking. He

(01:39:52):
like just beat her about to death. Yeah, he if
he was. This is all the stuff that the mom
said was a trigger his electron This is her verbatim response.
Electronics is a trigger, being told no is a trigger,
and being corrected in front of other people is a trigger.
But electronics is the big trigger.

Speaker 6 (01:40:16):
Okay, good luck getting away from electronics.

Speaker 3 (01:40:21):
Yeah, I mean I this is not. And then the
mom tried to say, oh, it's it's because he's autistic,
and that's what. We have family members who have autism,
I have friends who have autism. I work with people
of autism. That that is not. That is entirely different
from what is happening here. And first off, what it
just that what a horrible slur that is on people

(01:40:43):
with autism. That is not what autism is. And that's
not it's not. This guy's just violent and apparently, according
to the people who know him, he is never like
his adoptive mother. From what all these reports saying, there's
like a ton of stories about this, it sounds like
she could not parent, didn't know how to parent, didn't

(01:41:04):
want to be the bad mom, and then used his
like whenever he acted out, Oh, that's because he's autistic,
so you have to let it slide. Because he's autistic.
That's that's bad parenting, and that's him He's just a jackass,
That's what it is. I feel so sorry for this lady.
She actually has trouble speaking. She's lost hearing. She she's
deaf in one ear now, she has trouble speaking. Her

(01:41:27):
face is permanently disfigured. She walks with a limp, apparently
because he, I mean, he was beating her right in
the back of her head. He hit her so hard
he tore one of her ears, like off her head.
That's insane, that is crazy. So it's not good for
the student body to have someone who's violent like this.

(01:41:49):
This is this is this is so that's dangerous.

Speaker 11 (01:41:52):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:41:55):
One other thing, I don't know if you guys saw this,
did you guys see this is Brendon Circus's so the
there's a very I've never been to Paris. There's a
very fancy hotel in Paris that is called the Peninsula Hotel,
and they have like a rooftop hotel. One of the
things that I've noticed restaurants are different in Europe and
that they don't turn over tables like US restaurants turnover tables.

(01:42:18):
US restaurants turnover tables really quickly. And all throughout college,
I was a server, and you were encouraged to, you know,
get everything out, get everything going, because you got to
turnover tables. In Europe, it is so not like that,
and they it's like an event. You go, and especially
if you're with a group of people, you it's like
an all evening dinner, like you eat slow, you drink,
you enjoy each other's company. They don't turn over tables

(01:42:41):
like that, and it's it also kind of makes it
really difficult, especially if you book last minute, because if
you go to a nice restaurant you want to get
a reservation. It kind of makes it really hard to
get a reservation if you book last minute. So this
is the Peninsula at a five star hotel in Paris
where the Olympics are. Serena Williams comes in and she
wants to book. She wants to go to this rooftop restaurant,

(01:43:03):
and they told her that she couldn't. She goes on
Twitter and goes, yikes. She calls him out on Twitter.
She goes, I've been denied rooftop access to eat in
an empty restaurant of nicer places, but never with my kids.
Always at first, and she acted like they just turned
her away. The restaurant was very nice and they said
we would love to host you again. We were fully booked.
We were fully booked. And that's the thing. What was

(01:43:25):
she supposed to kick out another patron because she's special,
because she's famous. Was she entitled to take someone else's
reservation and eat there that night and make them give up?
They booked and advanced and she didn't. But yet it's
not her problem. That is some serious privilege. That is

(01:43:45):
some serious privilege to expect everyone else because you didn't
have the forethought to plan ahead, to make other people
