Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Celtech.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
So uh, first up, pulling up on my all my
fun stuff here. First up, a Florida man was convicted
of attacking a victim with a sword during a road
rage incident. What's happened in Sumter County, Florida. IF Florida
(00:36):
man is facing legal repercussions after he was found guilty
of felony criminal mischief for using a sword during a
road rage incident. The charges against forty five year old
loyel Lewis Sloan arise from a road rage incident which
took place a couple of years ago, but it escalated
into a full on physical confrontation. Sumter County Sheriff's Office
(00:58):
deputies responded to a all about an armed and dangerous
dude and when they when they arrived, the deputy spoke
with the victim and a witness. They said they were
traveling together in a truck. The guy was driving erradically.
He obstructed their path. This guy in front of them,
they said, he veered off the road, stopped in a
ditch and then he tried to taunt them to try
to escalate the incident into a physical altercation. They tried
(01:21):
driving away because he was trying to block their their path,
and that's when he ran in front of their vehicle
and they contacted law enforcement. They said that when the
perpetrator saw the individuals and approached them, he literally like
grabbed a sword from his truck and lunged at them
wielding it.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Why does every for real? Do you know how many
stores we have every week? It seems like somebody's got
a machete or a sword. Is that like a thing
in Florida?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Like you're concealed carry machete? I don't know, but they
figured the guy was drunk when when deputies arrived, they
placed him under arrest. So you know, there's see, I
got a couple, we got the shark bite guy. This
one I'm not reading because it's gross. Uh this uh,
it's true.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It is.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
There's one guy who I see I literally have another
guy threaten another person with a machete. Yeah, another machete.
This was seven days ago. This one is a teenager
who threatened this elderly person with a machete.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And this one was in Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
It was at a suburban Jacksonville library, so that of
course he got arrested. But I'm just like, that's my
whole point. How many of these stories? I mean, I'm
I and I have another one that I read just
last week. That's that's that I have listed here. That's
I'm gonna start collecting all our machete swords stories. Uh this,
let's see Deputy Man Florida man. Deputy say was accused
(02:45):
of grabbing two women. He grabbed two women rid the
throat near a polling place. He was upset over politics. Well,
you can't assault people over it. This was in Fishhawk.
They say that in this Florida town election turned violent.
Deputies were called because this old dude named Stuart James McMillan,
seventy one, and two women had a disagreement over political candidates.
(03:09):
McMillan pulled one of the victim's flags to the ground,
grabbed her hair and throat. The second victim tried to help.
He also grabbed her throat and they said that it
was the polling station. They said that they were attacked
for expressing their free speech. So this guy was arrested.
He was charged with two counts of battery. Is it
just battery? I mean, you grabbed someone by the throat.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I know that's probably like a legal definition question, but
still I'm like, that sounds like it's assault. But guys
seventy one years old, now they would have attacked him,
they would have gotten an additional charge for attacking an
elderly person because it's like sixty five or older. Then
there's an additional you get an additional slab like a
you attack somebody sixty five years of age or older.
Because we have a ton of those stories in Florida. Man, ware,
(03:56):
somebody attacks and you could be like sixty four and
attack a sixty five year old because we had one
of those stories and that guy, I swear to you,
the sixty four year old got hit with like one
of those attacked melderley person kind of thing. Yeah yeah,
I mean it's not entirely fair, but you know, that's
kind of our partners at Hillsdale College, great educational institution,
(04:18):
and Hillsdale exists to offer the education that is required
to preserve and protect liberty, and that's what that's their
intentions since they were founded in eighteen forty four it's

to be at their campus in Southern Michigan to take
advantage of them. They have all kinds of opportunities. Whether
(04:40):
it's their free educational podcasts and you can deep dive
on a number of issues led by every visiting author,
their staff faculty, or maybe it's their free speech digest
in Primus. They've also been handing out free pocket constitutions

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Thanks critical.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Well, it would help if we could regulate social media
because one of the biggest defenders is DC and Congress
have not been able to do one thing in regard
to the Rogue Corporation.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And they're so.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Mad over Elon Musk. They're so mad over it. So
what do you mean rogue. They have to abide by laws,
just like every other entity in the United States does.
So I don't understand where this, you know, rogue stuff
is coming from. They're upset because people just like how
it was in the beginning. And remember the left have
(06:19):
now gone back to being upset over social media. They
were super mad over social media back in the early
days of Barack Obama's campaign because, as we've talked about before,
the right was so successful in using social media to
advance their agenda, and there were more conservatives using social
media than there were people on the left. And that
(06:40):
was about the time that Jack Dorsey and others were
prevailed upon by the left to alter their algorithms and
change the playing field to make it not level, to
tilt it in favor of the left, so they could
suppress the descent, so they could suppress the ideas that
they did not want to debate in public forum. And
(07:01):
then they tried to diminish all ideas with which they
disagreed as being like again, you guys know the drill Nazi,
hi sexes, whatever, so as a way to excuse them
from not having to make the effort of offering a
counter and that's how they excuse themselves. So the change
(07:27):
in social media, I mean, that's what really hurt conservatives.
And then now X has been well now Twitter's X
after a Musk acquired it, and it's kind of gone
back to the way that it used to be. I
know that they're still peeling back all of the algorithms
and everything that the left had had thrown onto it,
(07:48):
but they are now they're going back and they're trying
to restore it to what it was prior to that.
And that's been a very strong counter to all of
the garbage that legacy media has pushed out there. The
laptop story, for instance, I mean, you did not see
pushback on that anywhere else you couldn't. It was so suppressed,
(08:11):
and Twitter they were really suppressing it, and then Musk
bought it, and then now it's like information can go
up freely. I think they have a really good community
notes program where people can fact check, like this is wrong,
this is incorrect, and then people will fact check the
fact check like this is argumentative, it's completely biased, or
this isn't this is a legitimate, a legitimate objection. I
think it's a good system, and I also think it
(08:33):
requires people to be a little bit more discerning in
terms of the information they consume and believe, and it
should be people should have that responsibility themselves and not
outsource it anywhere else. But regardless, they are mad because
all of this stuff was able. Conservatives were able to
counter bad information. Republicans were able to counter bad information
(08:54):
on x when they couldn't through their networks, through the
abcs and CBS's and NBCs, and that has infuriated the
left because they can't control it. It infuriates them. I
think that they don't like countering ideas with which they
disagree for a number of reasons, and it has nothing
to do with the fact that they think it's you know,
the person or the argument is racist, sexist, bigot, bigoted, misogynist?
(09:17):
What else is am I missing?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Kane? Transphobic? Whatever? Whatever? Is this?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It's like a million But they think they're too good.
The left honestly believes that they're too good, that how
dare you question them? Can you imagine going into every
disagreement thinking that, like, how dare you question me? That's
what the left believes though. They feel like they are
the more educated, the more open minded, and that you
(09:44):
are just some dumb, poor and how dare you question
their positions where they stand on things.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That's there.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
That's part of the one of the reasons why they
get so aggressive because they internally they take it so personally.
When you disagree with them, you're challenging how smart they
want you to think that they are. You're challenging their status.
They think they're elite. You're challenging that by questioning it.
That's why they get so mad. I mean, normal people
(10:14):
if you're like, well, I disagree with that, and a
normal person is like.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Oh well, you know, why is that?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Let's have it, you know, and people are genuinely interested,
like can I glean something from this. I mean, if
you're if it's about actually educating oneself learning more about
the issue, you welcome, right, you welcome. If there's, oh,
you know something that I don't, oh, please share it
because you're collecting information. The left is like, how dare you?
(10:39):
And then without any other place to go, they just
raise this. That's all they do. But that kind of
helps to explain why they take it so personally and
they're still doing it. Audio sound bite ten Rachel Maddowan.
One of the most unaware of things I've ever seen
is complaining about how she thinks the administration is going
(11:01):
to change the press.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Watch.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
The free press needs to give the people of this
country assurances that they will not become state TV, that
they will stand and fight together. They will put aside
rivalries and petty professional differences. They will stand and fight
together as the free press, as the fourth estate, as
an institution that is a pillar of our democracy. As
(11:25):
these guys on the other side inevitably start picking off
individual journalists, individual publishers, individual news organizations to try ultimately
to turn us all into some American accented version of RT.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Really really, I mean again, let's go back to twenty sixteen.
If you want to talk about RT, which is Russia today,
Let's look at all of the journalists that including like
what Izakoff and others who were had stories funneled to
them by the Hillary Clinton campaign through Fusion GPS. The
(11:59):
stories were laundered through the press and then they were
brought to the FISA court to get a surveillance warrant
on Carter Page, who at the time actually was a ciasset,
and the CIA had to step in and thwop the FBI.
Or let's look at what happened here with the New
York Times. So the New York Times had this big
piece in which they were trying to explain why it
(12:24):
was that Kamala Harris lost. They were trying to unpack
this for people, and they had like, for instance, here's
one of the they were talking about one of the
really effective Trump ads that he started running the like
right before the election, and he had one on Sunday
Night Football and then others, and they were characterizing the
(12:49):
ads as being quote anti trans this is what they wrote,
and it was about, you know, she's for They them
were for you. The New York Times rights the anti
trans ads cut to the core of the Trump argument
that Miss Harris was dangerously liberal, the exact vulnerability her
team was most worried about. The ads were effective with
(13:10):
black and Latino men, according to the Trump team, but
also with moderate suburban white women who might be concerned
about transgender athletes and girls sports. So this is this
is one example of many where the media is saying, oh, well,
these are anti trans ads. They actually didn't say anything
(13:31):
anti trans. They said she's for They them were for you.
When they also mentioned immigration wanted to close the border,
The New York Times described it as anti immigration, except
it's not anti immigration. It's anti illegal immigration, and illegal
immigration is anti immigration, and being pro illegal immigration is
(13:54):
anti immigration. You see why people don't trust the media,
because the media doesn't trust the people. The media views
the people as an enemy to be fought. Somehow, at
some point, the media decided to separate itself from being
a tool of the people. They decided to ensconce themselves
(14:17):
as a separate class and act as though, no, no, no,
you have to go and be brainwashed at one of
these universities in order to be able to write stories
in your own community.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
That's why they were vile public journalism.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I think all journalism should be public and if people
have a problem with that, then you know what, then
then do better in your life. Everybody has the power
of discernment. Everybody has brain cells. I've had people tell me, well,
you don't want just any Tomic or Harry writing stories. Well,
you also don't want partisan hacks who are activists writing?
(14:46):
I mean, do you see the situation that we're in.
It didn't work your way, Maybe let's try this one.
But they they realize it's a vein of power. They
want to control that power. They don't trust it. They
it got confused. At some point they decided instead of
of holding accountable government, they wanted to go after the
people that the government is supposed to represent. That they
(15:06):
derive their authority to do so from those people. They
decided they got it backwards. And Rachel Maddow has the
audacity in her cushy job at ANMSNBC to say that, oh, well,
heaven forbid, we don't want there to be an RT again.
The same media that fabricated that the laptop was Russian
(15:28):
misinformation pedaled the signatures of these Intel officials who signed
this statement knowing it was false. Who pushed to suspend
people on social media for sharing true information and questioning
(15:48):
the suppression of that information. Our t is already here,
and it's you. How they tried to hide what was
happening in schools with trans policies, How they tried to
hide how the girl was raped in a bathroom by
a student who identified as trans an eighteen year old male.
(16:10):
How they lied about Biden's dementia. I mean, we watched
this guy wither in the public eye for the past
four years, and how dare you ask a question about it?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
It's just his stutter.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
They hit it, and then when it was advantageous to
them to switch it out for somebody else, then they're, oh, well,
you know, it makes sense because Biden's not doing so
well anymore, you think. And then now they're going back
the other way. Well, maybe he actually should have stayed
and run. He probably would have performed better than she did.
I mean, how and they have the audacity to ask
(16:42):
the American people and try to lecture the American people.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh well, they're going to turn it into a version
of RT.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You have Stephanie Ruhll on AMSNBC, who's just out of
her mind speaking of which more bad media audio sound
bite eleven listen.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
And a person we are now betting on to change
all of it is Donald Trump, a man who did
two almost impossible things. He won the American presidency twice,
and he drove a casino into the ground. What will
the future hold now that America has just decided that we're.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Going to f around and find out that's a serious newscaster?
Is she trying to editorialize there that's on MSNBC?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I don't what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
F around so Americans exercise their vote?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I thought you guys, we're talking about preserving and protecting democracy.
Now it's just effing around. That's how you because it
didn't go your way. Now it's just effing around. I mean,
I don't necessarily it's not how I define voting the
democratic process in this republic.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Now I have a million.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Things because the post mortem on Democrats and the left,
I think it's incredibly important because the left is at
a crossroads here. Do they I don't know, listen to
sense and maybe think we should walk back a little bit,
like maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
James Carville was right.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Maybe we shouldn't have been out there talking about you know,
trans this trans that shaming everyone as Hitler. Maybe we
should just walk it in a bit, or do they go,
you know what, we don't call enough people hitler. We
didn't transit enough. It's I mean, which way are they
going to go? They have to make that determination and
(18:40):
they're not really great at making decisions that this last
campaign season was anything to go by our partner's over
at Celtech, the P fifteen. Celtech's P fifteen is the lightest,
the thinnest, the finest Striker Fire double stack nine millimeter
on the market and I have them. I know because
they make the metal version metal frame which has the
beautiful wall woodgrip panels. They also have the polymer version
(19:03):
gator grip texture in the P fifteen. You're not losing
any stopping power, You're not giving up any concealability. The
way that they've engineered this thing is awesome. And with
the P fifteen you get that Striker Fire reliability, nice
trigger pool, treatium fiber optic front site, fully adjustable fiber
optic two dot rear, and it comes with two standard
(19:24):
capacity magazines. You got a fifteen round mag with minimal
peaky extension, a flush fit double stack magget holds twelve
rounds for extra concealability and it's made with American materials.
Buy American workers in America, in Florida particularly. American needs
more companies like Celtech Innovation Performance Caltech. Learn more about
the P fifteen at celtechweapons dot com. That's k E
L T e C Weapons dot com. Tell them Dana,
(19:46):
isn't you?
Speaker 6 (19:47):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
It's time for Dana's quick five.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
All right, So first the university scraps English literature as
not a any longer a viable degree. Interesting it's Canterbury
christ Church University. They blamed decline and applicants as it
drops the subject for new students and they said that
nobody's interested, So nobody wants to go and study classic English.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Kisusia anymore?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Well, I think you gets charged too much for it anyway,
So people are probably like looking and seeing why does
our money?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Why does this kind of class cost that much?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Australia wants to ban social media for kids under the
age of eighteen because apparently the parents aren't able to
do it without being pushed by the Nanty state government.
So that's the prime Minister Anthony Albaniese announced plans to
ban it, saying that it's doing harm to our kids.
I'm calling time on it, et cetera, et cetera. I
guess that they're going to be looking through their lawmakers
legislations entering parliament this year and it's apparently after they
(20:49):
know ratified it's going to take effect.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
So I don't know what the penalties would be, but
I mean, what.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Are you going to go after parents for like some
kind of negligence if they don't go with it.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
It's just odd. That's what parents are for, not government.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Apple is going to face the first EU find under
the Block's Digital Markets Act. So this this was they
this they were being accused of violating anti trust laws
and this this is a story. It's been a long
time in the works big tech anti trust laws and
they've been clashing with how much they make in the
Apple Store with the EUS these digital anti trust laws
(21:22):
that they have, and they said watchdogs are ready in
the penalty after the iPhone maker failed to allow app
users to app developers to steer users to cheaper deals
and offers that exist outside of the App Store, and
so they have this digital Markets act.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It's it's pretty punitive.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
And this comes after they were hit with a two
billion dollar fine for similar abuses under their traditional competition rules,
i e. Like music streaming Spotify and things like that.
So that's excessive. Daytime sleepiness can lead to dementia. We
talked about this yesterday. This is a repeat. Having fewer
friends actually could be better for your health, says a study,
and I actually don't disagree with that in a way.
(22:05):
They said that this is a a study from Exeter, UK.
Keeping a smaller circle of friends help you to avoid drama.
I am all about that. And they said if you're
a monkey, it helps you. It helps to keep you
from getting ill. That seems like a weird statement. Monkeys
also don't wear shoes, so I guess they get sick less,
so we should go barefoot. I mean, that's that's dumb.
It's like a correlation isn't causation. So they said that however,
(22:27):
many animals they write, including humans, may reduce their social
connections as they age, and they said that having, you know,
just like a healthy, smaller group of friends might be better.
They said that socially reclusive Neanderthals, they said humans are
predisposed to being social creatures. It's not why our ancestors survived.
Neanderthals did not. However, there is healthy limits, a healthy medium. Well, duh,
(22:50):
everything there always is with everything.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
We have had an enormous setback in this election because
the fascist one a lot of working class support, which
has happened before in history. And we can talk about that,
but you know, I think what is important is that
(23:17):
we have to be able to hold that analysis and
have these discussions without turning on each other.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well, you kind of just did there.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I mean, AOC is like, well, the fascist one working
class support. So she just said that the working class
people that voted Democrat prior were fascists because they're backing
a fascist. I've heard that, right, right, Kane. That's what
I heard. That's what I heard. That's what she just said.
So how are you separating calling him a fascist and
(23:47):
then saying that the people who voted for him that
were working class that had previously voted Democrat are also fascists.
They're having a hard time, They're having a really hard time.
It's day two of the loss.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Day two. Welcome back to the program, Dana.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Last year with you at the top of this third hour,
they're having a really hard time. Sonny, what's her name?
Houston over at the View, get that ready. She's got
like a coon's name, doesn't she? Houstin Hosten, She's basically
said to blank all them voters.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
She's very upset.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
They had a big fight about it on the shmo which,
if you have never watched The Schmoo, it's a delightful
little show where they place a camera into a barnyard
and you have these you know, chickens at kluck and
half fer as they get in there and everything else,
and they put it on NBC. It's a fascinating, fascinating
story and they'll talk around a round table. But they
(24:47):
were very upset about this, and they were saying that
because they're fighting over it, you know the voting subsets.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Listen, Annalie.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
We talk a lot about these different demographics and these
assumptions of where they're going to go. Latino in Texas
a district that's ninety seven percent Latino went seventy five
percentage points for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Why misogyny with on the.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Border crisis is on their doorsteps and they were begging
people to care about it. For years, but we need
to take some.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Less who was there.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
Oh my gosh, it's whoopy misogyny and sexism, So Sunny
Hostin says, because you know, she's been to the RGV
many a time.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I'm sure she's got her she's got a house on Accounan.
I'm sure right. Whatever she thinks that all of the
people down there in the border who voted overwhelmingly Republican,
it's not because of the open border and the lawlessness
that is destroying their community and threatening their security. It's
because they just didn't like the fact that Kamalahurst is
(25:51):
a woman and a mixed race woman at that didn't
like it. They will never win because they're never going
to understand how to appeal to voters, especially like with
that attitude.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
They're never going to win. I'm okay with that, can't
you okay with that? I'm right with it. Yeah, go ahead,
let them do that.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
They're never going to win because they think that everything
comes down to race and sex.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Oh no, it couldn't possibly be.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Because people were tired of having to do with cartel
violence and they were tired with the deluge of illegal
immigrants coming across the border. Lawlessness and disorder couldn't be
because of that. It's because of racism and sexism they did.
They do this to themselves. You're attacking your own You're
attacking people who were your voters. You're running them further
(26:38):
away from you.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
It's really.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
We saw it in twenty sixteen when there were a
lot of Democrats who chose not to pull the lever
for Hillary and after years of loyal voting and supporting
the party, they decided that they were going to call
all of these people racists and sexists. And now they're
doing it all over again. The fact that they can't
(27:09):
speak to what is the main issue and why for
those voters in border towns is why Democrats won't win them.
If you can't identify and speak to the problem, how
the hell are you going to communicate with them?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
How are you going to win them? This all well,
it's racism and sexism.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
You just made it worse because you diminished the actual concern.
You dismissed it, and then you impugned their character because
you are unable to counter it. You're unable to speak
to the issue that is the most important to them.
And because you have an inability to do that, you
think that they have a moral failing. It's horrible, this
(27:53):
entitled broad sitting there up on the view who's never
ever had to worry about anything but silver spoons, actually
has the audacity to impugne the character of people who
live in border towns. Oh, the problem is you. It's
not that our candidate was unqualified. It's that you.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You are a moral failure. You are a racist, You're
a sexist. That's what it is. Jeez.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
That doesn't do anything to persuade people to support you.
It builds resentment, and in fact, you're stealing the opposition.
That's I mean, that's exactly what's happening. They did vote
for Hispanics, just I mean, he built a huge, huge
coalition and doubled his support. But you know who else
(28:46):
voted for Trump? And actually, of all the demographics, voted
for him at a higher rate than any other racial demo.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
This shocked me.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
When you break down black, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, American, Indian,
other white, get you see the breakdown you had for
white people of those who voted forty three to fifty
five percent fifty five percent red Black Americans was higher
than it was previously but it is still low twelve percent.
(29:23):
Hispanic Latinos forty five percent red. Now Asian Americans thirty
eight percent red. Now, this is still a small number,
but it is a huge segment of the number. American
Indians thirty five to sixty four percent red.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I am shocked.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
It's almost like years of appropriating their ethnicity by Democrats,
I e. Elizabeth Warren, years of continuing Democrats' racial policies,
you know, I mean, not allowing American Indians to even
on their own property on reservations, and introducing and creating
and maintaining policies that keep them on those reservations, keep
(30:08):
them on government leased land. It's almost like that that's
not attractive to American Indian voters anymore. Is it like
dumping a bunch of chemicals in the Animus River in
Colorado and having to poison your livestock and hurt your
crops and then there be no apology from the EPA
(30:28):
on that.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It's almost like.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
There's a history of Democrats doing stuff to American Indians
that finally American Indians are like, maybe we shouldn't support
the party that actually put us where we are. Maybe
we shouldn't support the party that put us on the
trail of genocide. Maybe we shouldn't support the party that
ignored a Supreme Court order and seized lands in contravention
of the Constitution and marched us all from Georgia to Oklahoma.
(30:55):
Maybe we shouldn't support the party that continues those policies,
although they're more widely exc sceptible within the left today.
That's pretty stunning to see that fraction breakaway like that.
I mean, I'm I mean, I would not I did
not see that actually happening. Uh, the issues that Democrats
(31:19):
were pushing galvanized and opposition coalition unlike anything I've seen,
unlike anything I've seen. And and it's still, I mean,
I still think we're going to see some other crazy
trends happening from this.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
So uh, first up, pulling up on my all my
fun stuff here. First up, a Florida man was convicted
of attacking a victim with a sword during a road
rage incident. What's happened in Sumter County, Florida. IF Florida
(00:36):
man is facing legal repercussions after he was found guilty
of felony criminal mischief for using a sword during a
road rage incident. The charges against forty five year old
loyel Lewis Sloan arise from a road rage incident which
took place a couple of years ago, but it escalated
into a full on physical confrontation. Sumter County Sheriff's Office
(00:58):
deputies responded to a all about an armed and dangerous
dude and when they when they arrived, the deputy spoke
with the victim and a witness. They said they were
traveling together in a truck. The guy was driving erradically.
He obstructed their path. This guy in front of them,
they said, he veered off the road, stopped in a
ditch and then he tried to taunt them to try
to escalate the incident into a physical altercation. They tried
(01:21):
driving away because he was trying to block their their path,
and that's when he ran in front of their vehicle
and they contacted law enforcement. They said that when the
perpetrator saw the individuals and approached them, he literally like
grabbed a sword from his truck and lunged at them
wielding it.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Why does every for real? Do you know how many
stores we have every week? It seems like somebody's got
a machete or a sword. Is that like a thing
in Florida?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Like you're concealed carry machete? I don't know, but they
figured the guy was drunk when when deputies arrived, they
placed him under arrest. So you know, there's see, I
got a couple, we got the shark bite guy. This
one I'm not reading because it's gross. Uh this uh,
it's true.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It is.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
There's one guy who I see I literally have another
guy threaten another person with a machete. Yeah, another machete.
This was seven days ago. This one is a teenager
who threatened this elderly person with a machete.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And this one was in Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
It was at a suburban Jacksonville library, so that of
course he got arrested. But I'm just like, that's my
whole point. How many of these stories? I mean, I'm
I and I have another one that I read just
last week. That's that's that I have listed here. That's
I'm gonna start collecting all our machete swords stories. Uh this,
let's see Deputy Man Florida man. Deputy say was accused
(02:45):
of grabbing two women. He grabbed two women rid the
throat near a polling place. He was upset over politics. Well,
you can't assault people over it. This was in Fishhawk.
They say that in this Florida town election turned violent.
Deputies were called because this old dude named Stuart James McMillan,
seventy one, and two women had a disagreement over political candidates.
(03:09):
McMillan pulled one of the victim's flags to the ground,
grabbed her hair and throat. The second victim tried to help.
He also grabbed her throat and they said that it
was the polling station. They said that they were attacked
for expressing their free speech. So this guy was arrested.
He was charged with two counts of battery. Is it
just battery? I mean, you grabbed someone by the throat.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I know that's probably like a legal definition question, but
still I'm like, that sounds like it's assault. But guys
seventy one years old, now they would have attacked him,
they would have gotten an additional charge for attacking an
elderly person because it's like sixty five or older. Then
there's an additional you get an additional slab like a
you attack somebody sixty five years of age or older.
Because we have a ton of those stories in Florida. Man, ware,
(03:56):
somebody attacks and you could be like sixty four and
attack a sixty five year old because we had one
of those stories and that guy, I swear to you,
the sixty four year old got hit with like one
of those attacked melderley person kind of thing. Yeah yeah,
I mean it's not entirely fair, but you know, that's
kind of our partners at Hillsdale College, great educational institution,
(04:18):
and Hillsdale exists to offer the education that is required
to preserve and protect liberty, and that's what that's their
intentions since they were founded in eighteen forty four it's

advantage of them. They have all kinds of opportunities. Whether

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Thanks critical.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Well, it would help if we could regulate social media
because one of the biggest defenders is DC and Congress
have not been able to do one thing in regard
to the Rogue Corporation.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And they're so.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Mad over Elon Musk. They're so mad over it. So
what do you mean rogue. They have to abide by laws,
just like every other entity in the United States does.
So I don't understand where this, you know, rogue stuff
is coming from. They're upset because people just like how
it was in the beginning. And remember the left have
(06:19):
now gone back to being upset over social media. They
were super mad over social media back in the early
days of Barack Obama's campaign because, as we've talked about before,
the right was so successful in using social media to
advance their agenda, and there were more conservatives using social
media than there were people on the left. And that
(06:40):
was about the time that Jack Dorsey and others were
prevailed upon by the left to alter their algorithms and
change the playing field to make it not level, to
tilt it in favor of the left, so they could
suppress the descent, so they could suppress the ideas that
they did not want to debate in public forum. And
(07:01):
then they tried to diminish all ideas with which they
disagreed as being like again, you guys know the drill Nazi,
hi sexes, whatever, so as a way to excuse them
from not having to make the effort of offering a
counter and that's how they excuse themselves. So the change
(07:27):
in social media, I mean, that's what really hurt conservatives.
And then now X has been well now Twitter's X
after a Musk acquired it, and it's kind of gone
back to the way that it used to be. I
know that they're still peeling back all of the algorithms
and everything that the left had had thrown onto it,
(07:48):
but they are now they're going back and they're trying
to restore it to what it was prior to that.
And that's been a very strong counter to all of
the garbage that legacy media has pushed out there. The
laptop story, for instance, I mean, you did not see
pushback on that anywhere else you couldn't. It was so suppressed,
(08:11):
and Twitter they were really suppressing it, and then Musk
bought it, and then now it's like information can go
up freely. I think they have a really good community
notes program where people can fact check, like this is wrong,
this is incorrect, and then people will fact check the
fact check like this is argumentative, it's completely biased, or
this isn't this is a legitimate, a legitimate objection. I
think it's a good system, and I also think it
(08:33):
requires people to be a little bit more discerning in
terms of the information they consume and believe, and it
should be people should have that responsibility themselves and not
outsource it anywhere else. But regardless, they are mad because
all of this stuff was able. Conservatives were able to
counter bad information. Republicans were able to counter bad information
(08:54):
on x when they couldn't through their networks, through the
abcs and CBS's and NBCs, and that has infuriated the
left because they can't control it. It infuriates them. I
think that they don't like countering ideas with which they
disagree for a number of reasons, and it has nothing
to do with the fact that they think it's you know,
the person or the argument is racist, sexist, bigot, bigoted, misogynist?
(09:17):
What else is am I missing?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Kane? Transphobic? Whatever? Whatever? Is this?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It's like a million But they think they're too good.
The left honestly believes that they're too good, that how
dare you question them? Can you imagine going into every
disagreement thinking that, like, how dare you question me? That's
what the left believes though. They feel like they are
the more educated, the more open minded, and that you
(09:44):
are just some dumb, poor and how dare you question
their positions where they stand on things.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That's there.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
That's part of the one of the reasons why they
get so aggressive because they internally they take it so personally.
When you disagree with them, you're challenging how smart they
want you to think that they are. You're challenging their status.
They think they're elite. You're challenging that by questioning it.
That's why they get so mad. I mean, normal people
(10:14):
if you're like, well, I disagree with that, and a
normal person is like.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Oh well, you know, why is that?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Let's have it, you know, and people are genuinely interested,
like can I glean something from this. I mean, if
you're if it's about actually educating oneself learning more about
the issue, you welcome, right, you welcome. If there's, oh,
you know something that I don't, oh, please share it
because you're collecting information. The left is like, how dare you?
(10:39):
And then without any other place to go, they just
raise this. That's all they do. But that kind of
helps to explain why they take it so personally and
they're still doing it. Audio sound bite ten Rachel Maddowan.
One of the most unaware of things I've ever seen
is complaining about how she thinks the administration is going
(11:01):
to change the press.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Watch.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
The free press needs to give the people of this
country assurances that they will not become state TV, that
they will stand and fight together. They will put aside
rivalries and petty professional differences. They will stand and fight
together as the free press, as the fourth estate, as
an institution that is a pillar of our democracy. As
(11:25):
these guys on the other side inevitably start picking off
individual journalists, individual publishers, individual news organizations to try ultimately
to turn us all into some American accented version of RT.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Really really, I mean again, let's go back to twenty sixteen.
If you want to talk about RT, which is Russia today,
Let's look at all of the journalists that including like
what Izakoff and others who were had stories funneled to
them by the Hillary Clinton campaign through Fusion GPS. The
(11:59):
stories were laundered through the press and then they were
brought to the FISA court to get a surveillance warrant
on Carter Page, who at the time actually was a ciasset,
and the CIA had to step in and thwop the FBI.
Or let's look at what happened here with the New
York Times. So the New York Times had this big
piece in which they were trying to explain why it
(12:24):
was that Kamala Harris lost. They were trying to unpack
this for people, and they had like, for instance, here's
one of the they were talking about one of the
really effective Trump ads that he started running the like
right before the election, and he had one on Sunday
Night Football and then others, and they were characterizing the
(12:49):
ads as being quote anti trans this is what they wrote,
and it was about, you know, she's for They them
were for you. The New York Times rights the anti
trans ads cut to the core of the Trump argument
that Miss Harris was dangerously liberal, the exact vulnerability her
team was most worried about. The ads were effective with
(13:10):
black and Latino men, according to the Trump team, but
also with moderate suburban white women who might be concerned
about transgender athletes and girls sports. So this is this
is one example of many where the media is saying, oh, well,
these are anti trans ads. They actually didn't say anything
(13:31):
anti trans. They said she's for They them were for you.
When they also mentioned immigration wanted to close the border,
The New York Times described it as anti immigration, except
it's not anti immigration. It's anti illegal immigration, and illegal
immigration is anti immigration, and being pro illegal immigration is
(13:54):
anti immigration. You see why people don't trust the media,
because the media doesn't trust the people. The media views
the people as an enemy to be fought. Somehow, at
some point, the media decided to separate itself from being
a tool of the people. They decided to ensconce themselves
(14:17):
as a separate class and act as though, no, no, no,
you have to go and be brainwashed at one of
these universities in order to be able to write stories
in your own community.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
That's why they were vile public journalism.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I think all journalism should be public and if people
have a problem with that, then you know what, then
then do better in your life. Everybody has the power
of discernment. Everybody has brain cells. I've had people tell me, well,
you don't want just any Tomic or Harry writing stories. Well,
you also don't want partisan hacks who are activists writing?
(14:46):
I mean, do you see the situation that we're in.
It didn't work your way, Maybe let's try this one.
But they they realize it's a vein of power. They
want to control that power. They don't trust it. They
it got confused. At some point they decided instead of
of holding accountable government, they wanted to go after the
people that the government is supposed to represent. That they
(15:06):
derive their authority to do so from those people. They
decided they got it backwards. And Rachel Maddow has the
audacity in her cushy job at ANMSNBC to say that, oh, well,
heaven forbid, we don't want there to be an RT again.
The same media that fabricated that the laptop was Russian
(15:28):
misinformation pedaled the signatures of these Intel officials who signed
this statement knowing it was false. Who pushed to suspend
people on social media for sharing true information and questioning
(15:48):
the suppression of that information. Our t is already here,
and it's you. How they tried to hide what was
happening in schools with trans policies, How they tried to
hide how the girl was raped in a bathroom by
a student who identified as trans an eighteen year old male.
(16:10):
How they lied about Biden's dementia. I mean, we watched
this guy wither in the public eye for the past
four years, and how dare you ask a question about it?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
It's just his stutter.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
They hit it, and then when it was advantageous to
them to switch it out for somebody else, then they're, oh, well,
you know, it makes sense because Biden's not doing so
well anymore, you think. And then now they're going back
the other way. Well, maybe he actually should have stayed
and run. He probably would have performed better than she did.
I mean, how and they have the audacity to ask
(16:42):
the American people and try to lecture the American people.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh well, they're going to turn it into a version
of RT.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You have Stephanie Ruhll on AMSNBC, who's just out of
her mind speaking of which more bad media audio sound
bite eleven listen.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
And a person we are now betting on to change
all of it is Donald Trump, a man who did
two almost impossible things. He won the American presidency twice,
and he drove a casino into the ground. What will
the future hold now that America has just decided that we're.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Going to f around and find out that's a serious newscaster?
Is she trying to editorialize there that's on MSNBC?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I don't what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
F around so Americans exercise their vote?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I thought you guys, we're talking about preserving and protecting democracy.
Now it's just effing around. That's how you because it
didn't go your way. Now it's just effing around. I mean,
I don't necessarily it's not how I define voting the
democratic process in this republic.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Now I have a million.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Things because the post mortem on Democrats and the left,
I think it's incredibly important because the left is at
a crossroads here. Do they I don't know, listen to
sense and maybe think we should walk back a little bit,
like maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
James Carville was right.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Maybe we shouldn't have been out there talking about you know,
trans this trans that shaming everyone as Hitler. Maybe we
should just walk it in a bit, or do they go,
you know what, we don't call enough people hitler. We
didn't transit enough. It's I mean, which way are they
going to go? They have to make that determination and
(18:40):
they're not really great at making decisions that this last
campaign season was anything to go by our partner's over
at Celtech, the P fifteen. Celtech's P fifteen is the lightest,
the thinnest, the finest Striker Fire double stack nine millimeter
on the market and I have them. I know because
they make the metal version metal frame which has the
beautiful wall woodgrip panels. They also have the polymer version
(19:03):
gator grip texture in the P fifteen. You're not losing
any stopping power, You're not giving up any concealability. The
way that they've engineered this thing is awesome. And with
the P fifteen you get that Striker Fire reliability, nice
trigger pool, treatium fiber optic front site, fully adjustable fiber
optic two dot rear, and it comes with two standard
(19:24):
capacity magazines. You got a fifteen round mag with minimal
peaky extension, a flush fit double stack magget holds twelve
rounds for extra concealability and it's made with American materials.
Buy American workers in America, in Florida particularly. American needs
more companies like Celtech Innovation Performance Caltech. Learn more about
the P fifteen at celtechweapons dot com. That's k E

(19:46):
isn't you?
Speaker 6 (19:47):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
It's time for Dana's quick five.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
All right, So first the university scraps English literature as
not a any longer a viable degree. Interesting it's Canterbury
christ Church University. They blamed decline and applicants as it
drops the subject for new students and they said that
nobody's interested, So nobody wants to go and study classic English.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Kisusia anymore?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Well, I think you gets charged too much for it anyway,
So people are probably like looking and seeing why does
our money?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Why does this kind of class cost that much?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Australia wants to ban social media for kids under the
age of eighteen because apparently the parents aren't able to
do it without being pushed by the Nanty state government.
So that's the prime Minister Anthony Albaniese announced plans to
ban it, saying that it's doing harm to our kids.
I'm calling time on it, et cetera, et cetera. I
guess that they're going to be looking through their lawmakers
legislations entering parliament this year and it's apparently after they
(20:49):
know ratified it's going to take effect.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
So I don't know what the penalties would be, but
I mean, what.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Are you going to go after parents for like some
kind of negligence if they don't go with it.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
It's just odd. That's what parents are for, not government.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Apple is going to face the first EU find under
the Block's Digital Markets Act. So this this was they
this they were being accused of violating anti trust laws
and this this is a story. It's been a long
time in the works big tech anti trust laws and
they've been clashing with how much they make in the
Apple Store with the EUS these digital anti trust laws
(21:22):
that they have, and they said watchdogs are ready in
the penalty after the iPhone maker failed to allow app
users to app developers to steer users to cheaper deals
and offers that exist outside of the App Store, and
so they have this digital Markets act.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It's it's pretty punitive.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
And this comes after they were hit with a two
billion dollar fine for similar abuses under their traditional competition rules,
i e. Like music streaming Spotify and things like that.
So that's excessive. Daytime sleepiness can lead to dementia. We
talked about this yesterday. This is a repeat. Having fewer
friends actually could be better for your health, says a study,
and I actually don't disagree with that in a way.
(22:05):
They said that this is a a study from Exeter, UK.
Keeping a smaller circle of friends help you to avoid drama.
I am all about that. And they said if you're
a monkey, it helps you. It helps to keep you
from getting ill. That seems like a weird statement. Monkeys
also don't wear shoes, so I guess they get sick less,
so we should go barefoot. I mean, that's that's dumb.
It's like a correlation isn't causation. So they said that however,
(22:27):
many animals they write, including humans, may reduce their social
connections as they age, and they said that having, you know,
just like a healthy, smaller group of friends might be better.
They said that socially reclusive Neanderthals, they said humans are
predisposed to being social creatures. It's not why our ancestors survived.
Neanderthals did not. However, there is healthy limits, a healthy medium. Well, duh,
(22:50):
everything there always is with everything.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
We have had an enormous setback in this election because
the fascist one a lot of working class support, which
has happened before in history. And we can talk about that,
but you know, I think what is important is that
(23:17):
we have to be able to hold that analysis and
have these discussions without turning on each other.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well, you kind of just did there.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I mean, AOC is like, well, the fascist one working
class support. So she just said that the working class
people that voted Democrat prior were fascists because they're backing
a fascist. I've heard that, right, right, Kane. That's what
I heard. That's what I heard. That's what she just said.
So how are you separating calling him a fascist and
(23:47):
then saying that the people who voted for him that
were working class that had previously voted Democrat are also fascists.
They're having a hard time, They're having a really hard time.
It's day two of the loss.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Day two. Welcome back to the program, Dana.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Last year with you at the top of this third hour,
they're having a really hard time. Sonny, what's her name?
Houston over at the View, get that ready. She's got
like a coon's name, doesn't she? Houstin Hosten, She's basically
said to blank all them voters.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
She's very upset.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
They had a big fight about it on the shmo which,
if you have never watched The Schmoo, it's a delightful
little show where they place a camera into a barnyard
and you have these you know, chickens at kluck and
half fer as they get in there and everything else,
and they put it on NBC. It's a fascinating, fascinating
story and they'll talk around a round table. But they
(24:47):
were very upset about this, and they were saying that
because they're fighting over it, you know the voting subsets.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Listen, Annalie.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
We talk a lot about these different demographics and these
assumptions of where they're going to go. Latino in Texas
a district that's ninety seven percent Latino went seventy five
percentage points for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Why misogyny with on the.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Border crisis is on their doorsteps and they were begging
people to care about it. For years, but we need
to take some.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Less who was there.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
Oh my gosh, it's whoopy misogyny and sexism, So Sunny
Hostin says, because you know, she's been to the RGV
many a time.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I'm sure she's got her she's got a house on Accounan.
I'm sure right. Whatever she thinks that all of the
people down there in the border who voted overwhelmingly Republican,
it's not because of the open border and the lawlessness
that is destroying their community and threatening their security. It's
because they just didn't like the fact that Kamalahurst is
(25:51):
a woman and a mixed race woman at that didn't
like it. They will never win because they're never going
to understand how to appeal to voters, especially like with
that attitude.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
They're never going to win. I'm okay with that, can't
you okay with that? I'm right with it. Yeah, go ahead,
let them do that.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
They're never going to win because they think that everything
comes down to race and sex.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Oh no, it couldn't possibly be.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Because people were tired of having to do with cartel
violence and they were tired with the deluge of illegal
immigrants coming across the border. Lawlessness and disorder couldn't be
because of that. It's because of racism and sexism they did.
They do this to themselves. You're attacking your own You're
attacking people who were your voters. You're running them further
(26:38):
away from you.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
It's really.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
We saw it in twenty sixteen when there were a
lot of Democrats who chose not to pull the lever
for Hillary and after years of loyal voting and supporting
the party, they decided that they were going to call
all of these people racists and sexists. And now they're
doing it all over again. The fact that they can't
(27:09):
speak to what is the main issue and why for
those voters in border towns is why Democrats won't win them.
If you can't identify and speak to the problem, how
the hell are you going to communicate with them?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
How are you going to win them? This all well,
it's racism and sexism.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
You just made it worse because you diminished the actual concern.
You dismissed it, and then you impugned their character because
you are unable to counter it. You're unable to speak
to the issue that is the most important to them.
And because you have an inability to do that, you
think that they have a moral failing. It's horrible, this
(27:53):
entitled broad sitting there up on the view who's never
ever had to worry about anything but silver spoons, actually
has the audacity to impugne the character of people who
live in border towns. Oh, the problem is you. It's
not that our candidate was unqualified. It's that you.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You are a moral failure. You are a racist, You're
a sexist. That's what it is. Jeez.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
That doesn't do anything to persuade people to support you.
It builds resentment, and in fact, you're stealing the opposition.
That's I mean, that's exactly what's happening. They did vote
for Hispanics, just I mean, he built a huge, huge
coalition and doubled his support. But you know who else
(28:46):
voted for Trump? And actually, of all the demographics, voted
for him at a higher rate than any other racial demo.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
This shocked me.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
When you break down black, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, American, Indian,
other white, get you see the breakdown you had for
white people of those who voted forty three to fifty
five percent fifty five percent red Black Americans was higher
than it was previously but it is still low twelve percent.
(29:23):
Hispanic Latinos forty five percent red. Now Asian Americans thirty
eight percent red. Now, this is still a small number,
but it is a huge segment of the number. American
Indians thirty five to sixty four percent red.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I am shocked.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
It's almost like years of appropriating their ethnicity by Democrats,
I e. Elizabeth Warren, years of continuing Democrats' racial policies,
you know, I mean, not allowing American Indians to even
on their own property on reservations, and introducing and creating
and maintaining policies that keep them on those reservations, keep
(30:08):
them on government leased land. It's almost like that that's
not attractive to American Indian voters anymore. Is it like
dumping a bunch of chemicals in the Animus River in
Colorado and having to poison your livestock and hurt your
crops and then there be no apology from the EPA
(30:28):
on that.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It's almost like.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
There's a history of Democrats doing stuff to American Indians
that finally American Indians are like, maybe we shouldn't support
the party that actually put us where we are. Maybe
we shouldn't support the party that put us on the
trail of genocide. Maybe we shouldn't support the party that
ignored a Supreme Court order and seized lands in contravention
of the Constitution and marched us all from Georgia to Oklahoma.
(30:55):
Maybe we shouldn't support the party that continues those policies,
although they're more widely exc sceptible within the left today.
That's pretty stunning to see that fraction breakaway like that.
I mean, I'm I mean, I would not I did
not see that actually happening. Uh, the issues that Democrats
(31:19):
were pushing galvanized and opposition coalition unlike anything I've seen,
unlike anything I've seen. And and it's still, I mean,
I still think we're going to see some other crazy
trends happening from this.
