It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida, man.
6 (46s):
All right, so, oh no, why did that’s No, we’re skipping that one because I like how Kane’s put something in there and says, good luck with this one. I’m not doing that one. What? Let’s see, I had the excavator yesterday. Huh? You’re just gonna skip it, huh? Yeah, I’m, I’m totally gonna, I’m totally gonna skip it. Alright. This guy was arrested Florida, man, after falling out of a boat and giving a false name to deputies, Okay. Lakeland, Florida. This fell Sunday was on Sunday, the Pope County Fire Rescue. They responded to a call about two boaters falling into Crystal.
6 (1m 26s):
Lakeland, Lakeland. Another man jumped in with pool noodles to try to save the two boaters. According to PCSO, Timothy Lanthrop gave a false name to deputies after they were checked out by medics, and they found his true identity through a fingerprint. I wanna know what name. See, they didn’t give the name. He had six warrants on him, so that’s why he was arrested. And why? He probably gave a fake name because he had six warrants on him. And you know, I wasn’t gonna have that So. he gave false information to deputies and he was arrested. I wonder what name he gave. Turd Ferguson. It’s TERD, terd Ferguson. It’s my name. Let’s see. Oh, this woman punched a, a Florida woman punched a girl over a homework mistake.
6 (2m 9s):
She looks like she was crying in her mugshot. A Florida woman allegedly grabbed a girl by the collar and punched her repeatedly in the face because she had made mistakes on her homework assignment. Margaret GSO 35 is accused of repeatedly striking the girl. According to the affidavit, she became upset because the victim was doing her homework wrong after school. The victim’s age is not specified. The woman grabbed the victim by her collar, punched her in the face. She had a busted, a busted blood vessel in her left eye and a bruise on her left lip. And she said the, the police said Gibson became upset because the victim was giving. Why don’t you help her with their homework? That’s not how you help a kid get the right answer. Right? That is not how you do that.
6 (2m 49s):
Not at all. Now this woman, and this is a North Fort Myers woman who attacked a man with a machete and chopped part of his thumb off.
8 (3m 2s):
Oh,
6 (3m 3s):
He is recovering. Lee County Sheriff arrested Sheila King this past Saturday with on aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. they said that she internally harmed the man and caused permanent bodily disfigurement. She got mad. Oh, so apparently the guy was a squatter who was living on her property and wasn’t doing chores. That she, is it a squatter if you’re letting them live there in exchange for doing chores? No. Okay. So, but wasn the arrangement, he was living there and he was supposed to be doing chores and he wasn’t doing them. So she took a machete and started swinging it around, hit a table and chopped part of his thumb off. What? Yeah. So, and she said she told police that he had been squatting for several months and got mad when she or the Dale and Martin said he owned the property.
6 (3m 49s):
She was squatting for several months. She said That, he was squatting. So they, regardless, they’re having to go to court, she chopped his thumb off. That’s a, she looks like a thumb chopping off kinda lady too.

It’s the metal version and the polymer version. And the metal versions I mean. I like both of them. and I think they’re both great for different things too.

11 (6m 41s):
Relieved that former President Trump is safe and I want the American people to know that the men and women of the FBI are working tirelessly to get to the bottom of what happened. Our work is very much ongoing and we’re just a few days into the investigation, so we’re limited in what we can say at this point. What I can say is that we have dedicated the full force of the FBI to this investigation, and that runs the gamut from criminal to national security resources, from tactical support to evidence response teams, from forensic scientists to operational technology personnel and I could go on together.
11 (7m 23s):
Sounds like a lot of stuff we’re working around the clock to investigate this. They
6 (7m 27s):
Got a lot of activities happen happening right there. That’s FBI, director Chris Ray, who’s talking about everything that they’re doing now. After the second time somebody was attempting to take shots at the former president of the United States, welcome back to the program, your lovable curmudgeon here with you. Dana Lash. You can listen coast to coast, channel 3 47 Direct TV as well, rumble where all of the shenanigans happen. And on x I’ve gotta talk to my good friend and I think this is, is this the first or second time we’ve had her on the show? We need to have her on more often. I think this is the second time she’s, I out of all the women in media, she’s the one I love the most. Megan Kelly, who, as you know, she’s the host of her own show. She doesn’t really need an introduction.
6 (8m 7s):
She’s on SiriusXM. You can listen to her show channel. It’s easy to remember. It’s 1 1 1. So it’s just one number. You gotta remember three times and you can watch her everyday weekday at noon eastern. Megan, so good to have you. I I I love that you’re joining me. It’s good to see you. I
12 (8m 22s):
Thank you, you that beautiful intro. I love you too. Well, thank you.
6 (8m 24s):
You’re very nice. I have, I’ve just, I I don’t know if people know, I’ve known Megan for a really long time and there are a lot of people in this industry that get real high off their own stash and I always think that you’ve been, you’ve been the realist and you’ve also been the nicest person that I’ve met in this industry. And that’s why we love you. So,
12 (8m 41s):
And I, it’s funny you’re saying that ’cause you, I I’m watching you getting ready for the show to come back on the air and you’re, you’re sort of jamming along the music and I’m thinking this is literally the coolest person I know. Oh, I, there is, there is nobody cooler. You’re glad I
6 (8m 54s):
Like blowing my nose or something. I gotta remember that for the future. I know. It’s
12 (8m 57s):
Like you’re the kind of person I wish I could be when I like go out in pub, people see me in public, but I am not cool. I that I’ve just never mastered. Cool. You’ve mastered cool
6 (9m 8s):
Oh. my gosh. Now I’m gonna have to grease my head to get it outta the door. That’s gonna be a mess. No, I, but I appreciate you joining me. I would, let me get your reaction on this. So we played this sound, this is the second time now somebody’s attempted to take a shot at the former president. I’m trying to figure out how a dude in a bright pink shirt, we all saw this guy’s, you know, choice of clothing bright pink like Lily Pulitzer pink in the bush for 12 hours. Nobody notices I mean, I know that, you know, like if my garden g knome by the front door is out of place. Like how are you Secret service and you don’t know this.
12 (9m 45s):
I it is a good point about the color of the shirt. I had not thought of that before. I mean obviously yesterday, when the secret service director spoke to this, he intentionally dodged when asked if they had patrolled the, the perimeter. Like why, why didn’t you patrol the per perimeter and, and did you actually patrol this part particular area? And he got outta bounds. It’s very clear they either didn’t, which is my bet, or they did and they did a crappy job of it because obviously the guy was there and not only did he have the pink shirt on, but he’s got the blonde spiky hair. He has two backpacks. Oh, in the matter of his weapon So. he would’ve been tough to miss, I think because my understanding is that the greenery is on the other side of the, of the fence on the inside of the fence.
12 (10m 30s):
But in any event, it’s such an obvious porous point from which anybody could try to get Trump that you would understand. This is actually an important part to patrol because the club itself is private. So you know, you’re not thinking one of the members is gonna do this if it’s gonna be somebody from the outside. This is exactly where they’d come on the outside facing the highway. So like if you have patrol duties, wouldn’t this be spot number one? And no matter what, even if there are bushes up against it on the side that like sort of the outside Of course as a secret service guy, you’ve gotta get in there, you’ve gotta look, you gotta make sure nobody’s hiding. It’s just an obvious fail. This is two perimeter fails and they continue gaslighting us about what a great job they did.
12 (11m 11s):
No one takes anything away from the agent that actually found the guy. Right. He’s not the problem. The the plan is the problem.
6 (11m 17s):
Yeah, that’s a good point. I mean the agent, you know, who saw this guy, saw the rifle apparently poking out the barrel of the rifle, poking out I mean good on that agent because, but wasn a split second reaction and they neutralized well attempted to neutralize that threat. But you bring up a really good point as well. I mean to not even look at the perimeter. And that brought up the question of, well, what point does someone who’s the former president and I realize it’s new territory, the former president who’s running again and could be the potential next president, do they get their security kind of like bumped up to the premium package? Like what’s the, I’m just curious about the level of tears for Secret Security. Like secret service security.
12 (11m 56s):
Lemme tell you what this, the premium package is, it’s Eric Prince. Call him and let him just handle it and get rid of all the Secret Service I mean truly you need somebody who’s in the full-time business of security because these Secret Service agents, while I’m sure the couple who are around Trump all the time, really would take a bullet for him. As we’ve seen, this is a multi-person job And, we don’t have a lot of faith in the other tier around Trump for very good reason. And the secret service, you know, they’re spread too thin. That’s true. That’s a problem we know about that could be corrected. And Trump did not get the premium package even after assassination attempt number one. They upped his security for sure, but he doesn’t have military assets at his disposal, you know, around wherever he goes like a sitting president would.
12 (12m 41s):
And let’s face it, you and I both know right now there are more people who wanna kill Donald Trump than there are who wanna kill Joe Biden. Yeah. All Joe Biden’s doing is lying in bed or on Rehoboth Beach. He’s fine. If ever there were a need to divert a few resources, not all, but a few from one to the other. If we have to make the choice Now isn that time they didn’t do it. And it does make you wonder why, why the Secret Service has got the, the head of Ghana, the king of Ghana, the, he’s, he’s here for the un, he’s being followed by everybody, the president of Ghana. Okay, great. So are you, that’s what our Secret service is doing. But you know, the actual possible next president of the United States doesn’t have enough people to patrol the perimeter. Yeah.
12 (13m 21s):
And we’re supposed to just shrug our shoulders and move forward. Yeah.
6 (13m 24s):
I feel like in the case, talking with our friend Megan Kelly, I, I feel like in the case of Butler County, even if they could, even if let’s just say they couldn’t afford Eric Prince, they could just get some good old boys and they get ’em out there in the field and they could be like that water tower up there, maybe get somebody up there that, that pitched roof I mean these are people who didn’t even go through security training or just kind of looking at the obvious, which kind of makes you wonder is it a level? And there’s two ways to look at it. It’s either a level of disregard or professional incompetency that’s just by itself, professional incompetency, or it’s maliciousness. And then you, you kind of have to ask, well is there a third option that maybe it’s just such a level of incompetency that it rises to maliciousness and people are just like, well if it happens, it happens.
6 (14m 11s):
I mean I don’t wanna be a conspiracy theorist. But they leave this stuff open for all of us to interpret it that way.
12 (14m 17s):
Oh no, you’ll laugh because, you know, it was getting so bizarre when you started to hear about this guy’s tentacles, you know, this second shooter and meaning second after the guy in Pennsylvania that, you know, it was like ties to Iran potentially. Yeah. And you know, the New York Times admitting that its source and finding the guy was in Afghani who was in Iran and was talking with him, it was like, wait. And now Iran has a death threat on him. And, we joked on my team. We’re all Laura Loomer now. Right? She’s, she’s very prone to conspiracy theorist theories. But it is crazy how much like how deep this guy’s tentacles to go go. So you, you’d be nuts not to ask the questions for me. The real, the real question here is do we trust the investigators to really run all this down?
12 (15m 1s):
Do we trust the FBI to pursue every lead? And what if God forbid, it did lead to something internal and don don’t know about the FBI. We all know that the FBI doesn’t doesn’t love conservatives and it doesn’t love Trump. That Miami head of the field office obviously hated him and was forced to scrub his social media and Of course. They’ve got a history during Russiagate that does not reflect well on them. But the recent reporting is more about the Secret service. So this gal Su Susan Crabtree, she’s a reporter for real clear politics and she’s, this is her beep secret service is her beep. She knows everything about them. She was on our show the night that the attempted assassination was unearthed.
12 (15m 41s):
And she was saying that there is a former top Obama security official said to her that they believe there is someone who has made it into the top ranks of the Secret Service who is an Iranian operative. And that this person is in some sort of a position where they, sorry, let me strike that. ’cause there’s two different people. There’s somebody who is an Iranian agent or working in some way for Iran that’s made it into the se secret service and separate And apart from that, there’s someone who applied to work at the Secret Service who failed the counterintelligence piece of the polygraph one must take to make it into the Secret Service.
12 (16m 23s):
And they hired this person anyway and made this person in charge of who gets certain intelligence credentials. So there have been some real problems at the Secret Service that go well beyond them hiring hookers and then trying to deny it and trying to cover up for the cocaine in the White House. And that had Kim Cheadle trying to get rid of the cocaine and not allow it to be really swept thoroughly for DNA once they found a hit. Those are problems, but like this is next level problem and somebody’s got to the kick the tires on exactly how secure the Secret Service circles are. Yeah.
6 (16m 57s):
That’s c well, well the cocaine, I think we kind of, we all kind of know who’s Yeah. Book or sugar that is talking with our good friend Megan Kelly for those of you who are listening across the country, you mentioned Russiagate. I’ve gotta GI gotta ask you about Hillary Clinton when she was at this forum and she’s talking about arresting people for misinformation. Is she not like, looking back to 2016, her working with Fusion GPS, that entity that should be in a faira violation. I mean they were laundering like discredited apo from the Kremlin through the media so that they could get a warrant of a surveillance warrant through improper channels through the FIA court. Would that not make her the queen of disinformation? Wouldn’t she be in jail by her own standards?
12 (17m 39s):
Lock her up. She should be number one. I I’m totally on board with her plan just as long as she goes first. That’s, that sounds great. We’ll make an an example outta somebody. So everybody really gets the message. And, we know just where to start. That is insanity. That’s absolutely not going to happen. And she knows better, right? So like, what is this? Is it just her perpetuating the lie that there’s dangerous misinformation coming from the right that needs to be tamped down? I’ve never seen a party. So in love with censorship, I mean they absolutely wanna censor everyone not on their side. Just today Elon and Gavin Newsom were warring on X about this new law. Gavin Newsom just signed trying to crack down on parody. Yeah.
12 (18m 19s):
In the state of California. He’s saying, oh, he can’t have ai. That that sort of is a deep fake Well that is too broad a net to cast, given our first amendment. There already is a US Supreme Court case saying parody is totally lawful, but it’s this left wing instinct. Anything that’s bad must be silenced. We shouldn’t be forced to hear it. And anybody who speaks it can be punished, either fired or sued or thrown in prison. It’s, these are not American instincts. And those of us who still have our minds about us, our wits about us must fight back or we’re gonna start to lose the First Amendment even more than we already have. And
6 (18m 53s):
It was so insidious the way That, he was pushing that as well because he was acting as though it was like a protection for actors and, and voiceover artists in Hollywood. But as you mentioned, but wasn one part of it, this was the other part of it where I mean, it’s like a, he’s declaring a war on memes. I mean really a war on memes in parody. That’s,
12 (19m 12s):
This will not be upheld. He should enjoy it while he can because it’s not enforceable. The US Supreme Court, this is one of those that could get struck down. Nine zero I, he, this is a very short shelf life before
6 (19m 21s):
We let you go, what are you looking forward to in this November? If you had to get out a crystal ball with everything that you’ve seen now, how would you interpret everything now? How, how do you think that that’s gonna hit November? What are we gonna wake up to the Wednesday after election?
12 (19m 37s):
Oh my god. I mean, I, I can’t predict who, who’s gonna win, but I’ll tell you this, this is, I’m pretty certain of this right now. Trump has the electoral advantage for sure. You’d you’d, you’d rather be Trump than Kamala right now. Okay. I just think he’s a stronger candidate. She’s a mess. The more she gets out there, the worse she’ll do. We already know Trump. He, his his unfavorables are not gonna go up. They’re where they’re, they’re gonna stay there always going to be right. Yeah. Hers will could still go up and probably will. ’cause she’s had just this unprecedented media love affair for the past, you know, two months. So I give him the advantage electorally, but I give her the advantage on the get out the vote effort of Team Blue versus Team Red.
12 (20m 20s):
It’s formidable.
6 (20m 22s):
They’re so good at that.
12 (20m 23s):
Do you even know who’s running it on the red side? I don’t, I know Charlie Kirk is trying to help. There’s a
6 (20m 26s):
Couple of groups and they’re only doing certain states. don don’t even know who’s doing it. Like all, you know, all the states. If it’s just still RNCI know they have like a slate estate. Yes. And there’s another group that have an have another slate. I don’t know how coaches
12 (20m 36s):
Trump’s trying, Trump’s trying, but Trump’s also trying to just win an election in the first. But I, I just think given what we’ve seen in past elections, you know, if you were just saying who’s got a better get out the vote effort, you’d have have to put it on Team Kamala or you’d be dumb. They have been trying to bank and pressure their voters to bank the mail-in Vote. And they put out all those buses going to the old ladies who they’ve gotten to register just saying, all I need is for your ballot. Just gimme your ballot and they can, whatever. let me get you to the polling station. Write, write this way. And you’ve got actors and actresses who will be at the helm of the bus and I don’t know what Team Red has, but it hasn’t done that well. So look, there’s still time and I’d really like to say like, it’s, it’s you, it’s me.
12 (21m 17s):
Those of us who want sanity to prevail, like we’re gonna have to drive buses. We’re gonna have to take the day off and do something because especially if you’re in a swing state, you need to tell every single person you know, to vote or it’s not gonna go the right way.
6 (21m 30s):
Yeah, I completely agree with you. That’s, that has to be I mean. I, we were joking about it the other day. Maybe we should just take off that day and just, or at least that morning seriously. Like, you know, maybe we’ll prerecord and then that afternoon just like drive around and make sure everybody like, like get up people to go and vote and drive ’em around and make sure it gets done.
12 (21m 46s):
But it takes planning, you know, it takes place that Republicans don’t like mail-in balloting. I get it. I know, I understand why, but what things happen on election day? Your kid gets sick, the weather’s bad, somebody dies, you know, there’s like something comes up. Yeah. And it’s not just you, it comes up. So it’s like banking the mail-in vote. I realize it’s somewhat of a risk in Republican’s minds ’cause you never know, but I think it’s a smart bet. If there’s any doubt you can’t get there on election day because that’s how they keep winning. Yeah.
6 (22m 12s):
I they, they they do. And they will. Unless we, unless we do something about it. Me and Kelly always so good to see you my friend. Please tell, give Doug our best. We’d love to see you guys again. Thank you. You guys need to come down to Texas. We’ll go hog hunting. We’ll get some brisket. you know what, we’ll blow some stuff up.
12 (22m 26s):
You know, that’s what Trump needs. He needs Dana and Chris. Chris Lash. That’s what he needs. He’ll be fine. No one will come near him. No,
6 (22m 33s):
We’ll just, we’ll be there. We’ll, we’ll we’ll watch everything. We’ll little nuts about it, but that’s all right. I totally

he signed two bills into law. One of them was about the use of ai, digital replicas of performers into law. And it also gets into the use of it politically. So. he was saying that he, because of, you know, stuff like videos that are clearly fake that are making fun of Kamala Harris, that would be, he would outlaw them in California. And he’s been bragging about it on social media. So we’re gonna talk more about this because they’re trying to act like, oh no, it’s just this, that’s gonna help out the entertainment industry. And it’s a lot more than that. Also, please let this be like a bunch of aliens. I really wanna get invaded by aliens. I just feel like it’s, if Jesus isn’t gonna come anytime soon, I mean he’s coming back. But if it’s not gonna be soon, then let it be smart or aliens in the meantime.
6 (26m 30s):
Because, you know, I hate most people. they said an oval shaped UFO was spotted hovering over Mexico. I hope it’s zapping people up. The footage shows that this UFO, it’s probably gonna be something like a stupid Chinese spy balloon. So boring. they said the alleged flying saucer sightings had been reported in a couple of different neighborhoods. they said they’re just, they look like a sky lantern floating across the sky. Some. That’s what some think it is. Kane and I literally gave the same look just now. Just now we did. Let’s see. So they, they’re also saying omnipresent AI cameras will ensure good behavior. This is where I do think that we should replicate the French and just tear down cameras that we don’t like.
6 (27m 13s):
I’m totally fine with this. I wanted to share this story with, you completely changed gears here. Did you guys hear about the Florida Sheriff? Who is done with it? This is such a great story. So this Florida sheriff in Tallahassee, there was a kid that had, and this is a Volusia County sheriff. There was a kid who had, I guess made threats about shooting up his school. And he was livid over this. They he went in and perp walked the kid made him public, shamed him, and Perp walked him. And he had said that, you know, this is accountability.
6 (27m 55s):
And he said that, you know, I have no I’m gonna do this to your kids. He gave an interview and he is like, I’m gonna perp walk your kids if that’s what at audio sound by 30. Listen to this. This is so great.
16 (28m 7s):
We’re gonna start doing Monday is since parents, you don’t wanna raise your kids. I’m going to start raising them. Every time we make an arrest, your kid’s photo is gonna be put out there. And if I could do it, I’m gonna perp walk your kid so that everybody can see what your kid’s up to.
6 (28m 25s):
You’re per walking this 11-year-old, you’re gonna
17 (28m 27s):
Be walking over here to this, the gate over here. All right? Slow and steady. What you here for today? We’re gonna get you on building. Alright? Follow this deputy here this way. Young man.
6 (28m 51s):
Wow. They’re per wagging him. Got the cameras. The 11-year-old student was arrested and charged as a juvenile. He threatened to shoot up a middle school. We do need more of these type of deterrent. These parents are not doing their job. I had suggested, ’cause I don’t have a problem with this at all. I have zero problems with this. In fact, I would go one further and I think that the responsible parents should be given a pass to beat the ass of the irresponsible parents on top of it. I gotta tell you parents who don’t do, and it’s, and these kids always are, they, it’s always kids who enable others. I gotta say we had an experience like this once where there was a youth that had threatened something in, in their school and the kid was immediately bounced from the school.
6 (29m 37s):
The school did not, they did not play with us. And it was was after Parkland, when you get these copycat incidents, the school didn’t play, they didn’t play with this at all, but the parents immediately reacted like everybody was targeting their kid and it was everybody else’s fault that their kid was this way. And that’s, I don’t know, but like the, the, the issue of this, the last kid in school, that’s what the family was sort of like suggesting that it’s, you know, this kid was picked. I I I hate that enabling behavior. Good on this Sheriff. This is awesome Sheriff Chitwood because he is like, look, if you’re not gonna do your job and you’re gonna enable this, I’m gonna do it for you.
6 (30m 20s):
And he ought to, this is, they said that his department spent $21,000 investigating a multitude of hoax school shootings since September 13th. And they said 54 of ’em came in less than 24 hours and, but wasn fewer than the 24 hours. But wasn, the, that’s usually like the type of copycat stuff. That’s why you don’t like, we, we don’t repeat the names of stuff. That’s why a lot of people are really weird about that now because there have been numerous studies showing that that does inspire copycat events. Absolutely. So the fact that he’s doing this, that that’s a good deterrent. There should be a deterrent there. But, and you can have deterrence all day long and I think it’s great and I think they need to do this, but these parents need to step up.
6 (31m 6s):
And here’s the thing also. It’s not just like parents of kids in poor areas because not all of these incidents where you have these mass killers are poor kids or kids from, you know, underserved. It’s, it is this enabling behavior of the parents. You are not protecting your kids by, by babying them and excusing their behavior. Sometimes being a parent is tough as hell. It is hard. And you are constantly second guessing yourself. Did I go too hard? Did I do this? Did I do that? Because you are helping to shape their character and they have to understand in the home first that there are deterrents.
6 (31m 47s):
My, my kids I know would never do that because I had I mean, Chris and I both are pretty hardcore parents. We, I don’t understand these parents who say, I didn’t know my kid had this or I didn’t my, we knew everything or my mom knew everything I had, she knew what I was doing. You think that you are crafty? Parents are weird, man. The responsible ones know. They just know. It’s like you get a feeling like, wait a minute, it feels like somebody’s up to no good. You just feel like somebody is, and you gotta go check. you know, it’s like that sixth sense that you get. I see dead people, you know, I sent just shenanigans. You just know bad parents are just not paying attention.
6 (32m 29s):
We all knew bad parents of kids in schools when we were growing up. We all knew that. Like, I went to school with kids who had bad parents who just weren’t there and the kids were bad and the kids did bad stuff and the kids grew up to be, you know, adults doing bad stuff. I mean it’s sad, but good on this sheriff. That’s awesome.
