KLZ 560 AM DENVER'S CONSERVATIVE HOME STATION
Menu
In this episode, we unravel the unpredictable spectacle of politics highlighting a memorable occurrence with Donald Trump commandeering a garbage truck. Discussing the reactions from various media, we explore how this plays into the broader political discourse amid the approaching elections. Amidst all these developments, we delve into the critical question of messaging and public perception in today’s divisive political climate. Laden with humor and intrigue, this episode will make you question the roles we often assign to political narratives.
SPEAKER 01 :
Jeez. If I was that guy, I’d be like changing. I’d try to get a vanity plate that says that. That says Cary Grant in his prime. That’s hysterical. I think that also explains why he kind of struggled to get that door open in the video that all the left is freaking out about. Gag me. I’ve got some really stupid stories. So we got a lot to touch on today because, I mean, we are. It’s the garbage edition, the continued garbage edition of the show. And it’s, you know, that’s where we’re at. And we’re at that point in the debate. And it’s also All Hallows’ Eve. So yours truly didn’t dress up because yours truly is waiting for November 6th, the day after. And then maybe I’ll belatedly dress up. We’ll see. So lots of stuff to hit, like I said. And happy, what is it, Thursday to you? Dana Lash here. Top of this first hour. Channel 347 Direct TV. We’re at Rumble if they decide not to freeze. I don’t know. Maybe I should like invest or something to make that not happen. But you can also find us on Facebook, YouTube, all that good stuff. X. We’re over at X as well. All right. So I’ve never seen such a fast turnaround of something. That was pretty good. The big turnaround of the garbage narrative. So far, Donald Trump has worked two minimum wage jobs. Are sanitation workers minimum wage? I don’t think they are. Well, he’s worked two blue-collar jobs. We’ll put it like that. He’s worked two blue-collar jobs right now. And Democrats are still nothing. Nothing from them. I mean, they got a garbage truck, for crying out loud. He’s like, I got very capable people. I’m not saying there’s someone else’s. But… It was pretty, you know, and then he, but the thing was, I didn’t, I didn’t watch all of his remarks yesterday at his rally, but I did think it was funny that he kept wearing the vest, that he just stayed with the vest. Like he walked out on stage, still had that reflector vest on. Cause that was the first thing I saw before I saw that he rolled up in a garbage truck. There was a lot going on yesterday. And, um, I thought that was hysterical cause he still had that vest on, but he rolls up in the garbage truck. It was really high up. And I mean, if he’s, he’s like six, four, he’s really tall. Super tall and six, three, maybe six, four. So if he was kind of struggling to get the door open, I mean, it’s because it’s really high up there. I would have to get on a trampoline in order to launch yeet myself into this thing. But yeah, he had the had the garbage truck and he’s up and I had the big flag and he pulled. That was actually kind of funny because I saw someone in the press saying there’s a garbage truck that rolled up and it has the Trump campaign logo on the side. Hands to sky. They were there. And I guess they thought Trump was just going to pull up, you know, in a car and there at the airport. And he pulls up in the garbage truck and the press was like this garbage. And there was this video of this little garbage truck rolling up. It was funny. And the press was very, they didn’t know what to make of it, which that amused me the most. I was chuckling a little bit. I’m always the most amused when the press is actually knocked off their game a little bit. So that was a very, very quick turnaround. So he goes to the Wisconsin rally and he rolls up. The left was apoplectic. They were apoplectic. You know what? Maybe they could just roll out Kamala Harris talking about how she was raised middle class again. That always works, right? You know, it always works with the voters to just tell them that you’re middle class instead of actually doing middle class stuff. That’s my favorite thing about the limousine Marxists. They love telling you that they’re middle class as middle class. I was raised middle class. And then they go through their Rolodex of buzzwords that they think identifies the middle class. McDonald’s. Yeah, McDonald’s. Crocs. Like anything else that pops into their head, right? Mountain Dew. And they throw that out and they think that that’s enough. That’s enough. That voters will go, oh, she said McDonald’s. She’s like me. Guess I’ll vote for her. Who cares about the economy? She said McDonald’s. Didn’t work. So the left is, they were apoplectic over this. I’m just looking over some stuff. I mean, CNN literally had to interrupt a panel. Did we, I don’t know if we have, I didn’t want to send everything in and then I forgot to send some things in. CNN was livid over this. They had, they actually, I think it was Wolf Blitzer that was hosting. And they had to actually interrupt their, they had a panel that, And they interrupted their own little goofy panel because they had to go to the garbage truck. They had to go to the garbage truck. I was dying. I was laughing so hard over that. It was actually very funny. So that was a quick, I don’t think that they’re, in the meantime, notice the media. There’s one thing that they haven’t done. Have you noticed this? They haven’t gone to every single Democrat and said, do you condemn this remark? Do you condemn this? If Trump were to fart the wrong way, every single Republican, do you condemn this? Microphone, do you condemn it? Sir, do you condemn this? Anytime he says anything. If it’s not even him, if it’s his kids, do you condemn this? Every Republican, they get a mic shoved in their face. With this? No. Nothing. Not a single, not a single Republican was asked a single thing. Our Democrat has been asked a single thing. Listen to this. This is CNN. I think we have this. I just want to play a little bit of it. I don’t want to play all of it. I’m not going to play all of the media reactions because you play one, it’s the same for all of them. But it was funny because they’re doing this live discussion and they had no idea Trump was rolling up in a garbage truck. And they’re like, the fuck? They just had no idea. It was hysterical. What? I wasn’t going to do it. I wasn’t going to do it. That’s what are you talking about? Oh, come on. We’re not. Come on. Come on. Yeah. And then I love what Tom Cotton tweeted. He had a picture of Donald Trump. putting the, what is the tool that they use to put the fries in the fry thing? I asked a friend of mine this last night who worked at McDonald’s and she couldn’t remember. She’s like, oh my gosh.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
The fry basket?
SPEAKER 01 :
No, it wasn’t. There was like a thing it was called. Anyway, it’s the thing that we’re just it’s like was made to put them in the McDonald’s fries. It’s like their proprietary like the fry shovel, something like that. We’re going to call it fry shovel. There’s a picture of Trump with the fry shovel, put the fries in the box. And there’s a picture of him behind the dump truck. And Tom Cotton tweets, the Biden-Harris economy is so bad that seniors have to work two jobs to make ends meet. That was actually funny. But what the left is trying to do, let me know if we have that CNN thing. Okay, go ahead. Listen to this, and then I’m going to tell you how the left is trying so hard to turn this. Listen.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
…for a moment. Stand by for a moment. Trump is answering some questions from reporters. In a garbage truck.
SPEAKER 01 :
They’re like, we’ve got to interrupt our panel to go to the garbage truck. Breaking news. I love how they’re like, wait, can we roll with the breaking news? Wait a minute. No, we have to wait for the element. What is that called? It’s not a stinger. What’s that called, Juan? Is it a stinger if it’s visual? Is it? Okay. We’ve got to wait for the stinger. We’ve got to wait for the stinger. Okay, we’ve got it. All right, now we can do the breaking news because it’s not breaking news unless the breaking news stinger animates. Oh, there it is. You’ve got to have it. Oh, you’ve got to have it. Don’t get ahead of the stinger, Wolf. so he runs he calls it i just think it’s hysterical and they’re all the panel like when they came back the panel was just going i was dying i was dying laughing at this oh my gosh absurdity to hire to highlight absurdity now this is how the left is trying to flip this remember how i was how i was making fun of uh Oh, what’s his face? Lucas Kuntz. Him. Steve just exhaled. Well, people are trying. And I said that that was, you know, being at the range, it was his Dukakis moment. Well, people are trying to say this is Trump’s Dukakis moment. And I’m like, wait a minute. I fired back at one of these like halfwits. I was like, are you telling me that blue collar work is a Dukakis moment? Please explain to me how. How is how is highlighting blue collar work a Dukakis moment? Yeah, exactly. They’re trying so hard. Now, is this going to, I don’t even care if this does anything at the polls. I just like that there was a lighthearted moment because it was funny as all get out. I don’t care if you hate Trump or not. I don’t care. Rolling up in a garbage truck was funny. It’s funny. I laughed my head off because I did. I mean, you saw, can I just one more time indulge me? You saw the truck roll up. You had no idea what was going on. And then there he is. I don’t care if you like him or not. It was funny. And then they but you know what they ended up doing? They ended up furthering making Biden look silly with us. But everyone’s trying to say no. He’s thinking he’s assuming voters hear garbage and think of Biden’s gaffe. Yeah, absolutely. You know why? Because that’s what Biden said. Literally, one of the nepo babies on the shmoo said that. That’s really nice that they like took a microphone and a camera and put those barnyard animals to work. You know, the ones that were just like too long in the tooth to actually do any meaningful work there on the farmyard. So they, you know, they made a little talk show for them. It was so nice. Super nice how they did. I love animals. Love people. Now, in the meantime, Biden’s not on babies. Harris is, I don’t know. She’s talking about we’re going to get into this whole thing and I’m gearing up for this. The left’s insistence that women, you don’t have to tell your husbands who you vote for. The, oh, oh, oh, you haven’t heard this. Can you even hear this? Oh, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah. It’s a thing? Julia Roberts did a video about it. Kamala Harris mentioned it the other day, yesterday. And now it is, now they’re saying that women, you don’t have to, you can go ahead and vote Democrat, you don’t have to let your husbands know who you vote for. So they assume that if you’re not going to vote, if you’re considering not voting for Harris, you’re stupid and you’re an abused woman. And that you’re too unempowered to make your own decisions because you’re a stupid bimbo. That’s what they’re saying. The left believes that you are just TNA and abortions and that you need to be told how to vote. That’s what they believe. That’s what they believe. We’re going to talk about all of this more because this actually makes me angry. And it’s one of the reasons why I left the left, because Democrats are literally the most sexist people I’ve ever met in my life. I say this as someone who up until I was 19 years old was a Democrat raised by Democrats. I literally only knew Democrats until I went to college. I didn’t meet my first Republican hands to sky until I was a college freshman. And then I realized, dang. I got some questions about how I was raised. No offense, Mom.

Dana Loesch (Host) :
The left keeps preaching for equality if Kamala is elected. But is this a dystopian America? The idea that we’re all supposed to end up in the exact same place, even after working much harder than they are. That’s like a dystopian Kurt Vonnegut novel.

SPEAKER 01 :
Hey, hey, hey. All right. So first up, this is kind of sad. A beloved pet squirrel has been seized by New York State after it spent seven years in a home and the owner says they’re going to euthanize it. New York State is a jack wagon. According to an Instagram post, Peanut the squirrel was rescued after his mother was struck and killed by a car. And I’ve got a I’ve got a whole story about this. He was taken from his Elmira, New York home by officials. It was the Department of Environmental Conservation. They served a warrant to Peanuts Guardians because they got complaints from some, I don’t know, some jack wagon probably complained about somebody having a squirrel. They said unlawfully possessed animals. And the account said he took one of the most amazing animals away. because of your selfishness i mean it had its own little cowboy hat for crying out loud mark longo owns it he says he’s in shock and belief and they said apparently they’re going to euthanize it that’s insane and they said because of rabies they they they said they had to seize the animals because uh there was like apparently rabies nearby or something like that i think that’s kind of a jerk move that’s a jerk move what the dude have a squirrel it has a cowboy hat I would have hit it and totally pulled like a chimp crazy thing. No, no, no, it’s gone. We just passed away. We don’t know. I would have totally lied to the state about that and I would have not felt bad about it. Let’s see. This is kind of weird that this is a headline. Lead poisoning costs the world’s children 765 million IQ points a year. That’s what they’re saying. Like low level lead poisoning. Apparently it’s still pervasive. They published this in the New England Journal of Medicine. Blah, blah, blah. Are people still getting exposed to lead at that level for real? Pentagon chief reveals a photo of a UFO mothership. I don’t know if I believe this, but I actually, I don’t know if it’s real, but I’m going to believe it anyway, because I want to. He says it’s a huge mini city floating in the sky, an ex Pentagon official. And he had photos of it. I don’t know. Did the photos look believable? I don’t know. I still want to believe it anyway, because, but when the government tells me that it’s real, then I don’t want to believe, you know, that’s the problem. I’m really stuck here. I’m stuck. Subway is being sued for shorting customers on meat. They shorted them on the meats. They did not put enough steak in their steak and cheese sandwiches. And now they’re getting sued. Of course. Stick with us. We’ve got more in store. Burn a Gun is a new entrant to the show. They’re new sponsors to the show. It’s a non-firearm firearm. And where guns are banned, this is an excellent option to have. The Berna gun, if you’re unfamiliar with it, can stop threats from up to 50 feet away using chemical irritant projectiles. It provides a powerful deterrent. And the most popular model is the Berna SD model. And the Berna SD holds five rounds. You can choose a number of different colors, projectiles, even accessories. You can get a different model if you’d like to, but the Berna SD is super popular. Gun-free zones, it doesn’t care about those, doesn’t care about the gun-free zone signs. It’s legal in all 50 states. No background check, no permit. Ship right to your door. So anybody can can access it. And it’s a good option when you’re barred from carrying carrying.

SPEAKER 01 :
I got to let my wolf go, dude. It’s the werewolf. We can’t put him on the porch anymore because he scares the hell out of people. He scares people too much. So now he’s just in the studio. We never actually named him. I just realized this. This dude has been in the studio for I don’t know how long. And we haven’t actually named him. Throw me a monitor, please. We haven’t actually named him. So, yeah. And then we got this guy this year who’s new. He wasn’t here last year. He wasn’t here last year, this guy. And then we got our pumpkin we’ve had before. So wait, I’m going to get it. Okay, now there he is. There he is. Welcome back. I had to show you guys. I had to show off the stuff that we had in the studio. I had to. Welcome back. It’s good to be with you. And we’re at the bottom of the 31st hour. Had a little Danny Elfman, the Citizen of Halloween from Nightmare Before Christmas. I feel like that song just is so the theme of where we are all mentally and emotionally right now going towards November 5th. Am I right? Oh, my gosh. Like, I feel like, you know, these kids for trick-or-treating, you know what? Like, you know, move over, kids. We need to also, like, trick-or-treat. Like, the adults need a break. This has been, like, this has been tough times. We need a break. Honestly. All right. So, one of the things, I got a couple things to hit this segment. First off, let me get down in here. There are some of these final polls that are coming out. show Trump has a bit of an edge in these swing states. Now, Kamala Harris is underperforming where Biden was at this exact same time in 2020. And she’s even underperforming Hillary Clinton, at least not now. That’s not a blanket statement in some of the states. And I think I got into this a little bit Earlier this week, she’s underperforming Hillary Clinton at this exact time in a couple of states. Not all. So all of this stuff, honestly, it’s it is really I think it’s close. I don’t think that there’s I will be shocked if there is, you know, if all of the projections about a red wave actually come to pass. But, you know, I just don’t think that that’s something that’s going to I just don’t think that that’s something that’s going to it’s not going to be a huge. I don’t think it’s going to be a huge gap either way that it goes. The final polls are giving Trump an edge. And there’s still a lot that’s too close to call. CNN seems to think that Trump has. And I do think you’d much rather beat Trump than Kamala Harris right now, for sure. There are some who say it’s not as close as you think. Some are predicting a missing hidden voter surge. I never believe into that stuff. I never believe that stuff because we were told that in 22. We were told it in 21. We were told it in 2018. We were even told it in 2016. And I got to be honest with you, while there was an increase in turnout for Republican voters, as I noted on that election night, there was still a decreased turnout, a depressed turnout. I actually thought that the turnout was going to be higher than it was in 2016. I mean, Trump won and there was an increase. increase in certain parts of the country in turnout but it wasn’t enough to say like oh my gosh republicans really like turned out and uh republicans are our own worst enemy really they are the right’s own worst enemy so there’s a quinnipiac poll usually kind of leans democrat trump has got a lot of momentum in pennsylvania uh harris has a couple of solid leads in a couple of different battleground states but it’s like barely it’s within the margin of error And he’s in Wisconsin and Michigan. It’s a it’s a it’s a fight. Pennsylvania. I think he may end up taking Pennsylvania. And the average, I think, with 538 has Harris under one point five. And in the RCP average, Trump’s a half a point ahead. See, so all of this can be so subjective and it all depends on what polls are included and every poll, even the garbage ones are included. That’s why these are just should just be mere kind of suggestions, not gospel truth. I would highly encourage you to not rely on the polling. Because the methodology for most of it is garbage, actual garbage. Especially if you’re relying on likely not registered voters. Especially if you’re limiting yourself to one particular geographical area. And especially if you’re using landlines as opposed to seller digital. Because with landlines, you are absolutely immediately biasing your polling pool, your survey pool right out of the gate. Because I don’t even have a landline. There are people that’s mostly older individuals that have landlines. So you can’t it doesn’t matter how much you’re leading. I mean, like you look at California, New York and some of these other left leaning states. Doesn’t matter how well you’re doing there. You got to hit 270. 270 is that magical number. It is the magical number. Georgia is going to be Georgia is going to be a fight. It looks really close in Georgia. Five thirty eight has I will say five thirty eight was a little was more correct than the other ones back in twenty two and twenty twenty. There were a lot of polls that were taken in some of these other averages that were suggesting a red wave. And there were some folks that were a little aggravated at me for discounting it. And some were saying that I was underplaying it. Well, there’s a reason why. I’m not going to present to you and run to you with anything, even if it costs me. I could go out there like a lot of these other fools and run up the flagpole and do all this other stuff. I’m not going to do it because it doesn’t serve you. What am I doing, just playing the audience for views? That’s so damn lame. That means you can’t fall back on anything else other than the momentum of the time in order to nail something to the wall, and that’s lame. Remember, the final RCP average… And this is back on 2016. This is late. This is mid, actually very late October 2016. I think it was like the 26th. It showed at that time it showed Clinton leading by 3.4, but Trump ended up with a 0.3 win. You see how weird this stuff gets? There’s so many variables in here. There’s so many things in here. So that’s where, you know, I in the last. So in 2016, Trump was plus one in the RCP average. He won by almost four points in 2020. He trailed by one point eight and he was point two up and won by one point three. Right now he’s ahead of one point one at five thirty eight and point nine at RCP. So I think he’s probably leading in North Carolina. There was I actually had another headline where the Harris campaign actually was yesterday. Remember, I was telling you that they were diverting their money out of Georgia and they were putting money into North Carolina. Sorry, Pennsylvania putting money in North Carolina and Georgia with the bulk of their media ad buys, last minute buys, last minute push digitally, everything else going into North Carolina. So I think that they realize that Trump is really close leading. And so they’re going to try to they’re going to try to to mute that. So it’s close. It’s super close. I think that that’s pretty much the only thing that you can that you can say with any kind of, you know. certainty at this particular point i mean we have less than a week to go just days now it feels like to me that people have already pretty much determined who they’re going to vote for i mean if you’re one of those people that’s going to be moved by you know trump is hitler then you were never going to vote for for trump in the first place you know you if you are one of those individuals who thinks correctly that Kamala Harris is just absolute poison to the economy. She’s a disaster. She’s a continuation of Biden-Harris. You already have your mind made up. Steve notes, too, that Trump historically does underpoll, the extent to which is dramatically different, though, I will add. He severely underpolled in 2016, I thought, in a couple of battleground states. I thought in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, he dramatically underpolled. So but then it maybe I’m slightly exaggerating. I thought he underpolled considering he ended up winning and it was and he ended up piercing the blue wall. I thought he was really underestimated and I thought he underpolled in those states. And Steve notes that more than we already have like half of the U.S. that’s already cast their vote before Election Day. And that is true. A lot of one of the things that I’ve heard said, and I don’t think that this is uniform across all the early voting, but a significant number of early voting in a number of states have been female led. which is why Harris and all of them have been going out saying, well, don’t tell your husband how you’re going to vote. Vote for Harris. You don’t have to tell your husband how you’re going to vote. Like women are stupid and they’re somehow secretly pining to vote opposite. You’re assuming that their husband’s voting for Trump. And then you’re also assuming that the husband’s a jerk or abusive or that the woman is unempowered and weak and that she has to be encouraged by these political strategists to vote for Harris. This is just I thought that was that that also was really tone deaf and cringe. So you insult the black community and you call black men sexist. And now you’re insulting all of women by saying if the women aren’t voting for Harris and somehow they’re just like beaten housewives because that’s the intimation that’s out there. And I think that always assuming the worst common denominator about the people who may not want to vote for you. I mean, it’s cyclical and it’s incredibly ironic because you do that and then you’re shocked when they use that as a justification for not wanting to vote for you. It’s a completely tone-deaf campaign. I just don’t know if I’ve ever seen Democrats run the board worse than I have this time around. I really don’t. There’s not anything… I mean, I think people ultimately, the economy is going to be, and the economy is still the top thing along with immigration. And that literally is the worst issue for her. She pulls so bad on that issue. And that’s why she pivoted because she, they wanted to pretend that the economy was great. And then they couldn’t, they couldn’t fake you out on that. So now they wanted to pivot to, well, it’s big business gouging everyone. And then they try to lie that supermarkets who have such a tiny margin of, of, of profit are, They were gouging people, price gouging people, so that they did not have to address the issue of inflation that was driving higher prices. The border, horrific. And then you have this American citizen, Jewish, walking to synagogue, killed by this, you know, illegally, this jihadi Muslim illegal immigrant who came through the southern border, was slated, he should have been deported in 23, let go in the San Diego sector, and then he killed somebody. This is crazy. In any other sensible period, that would be a campaign ender, but it’s not for her. It’s hard to be serious with these giant pumpkins on my head. I got to be honest with you. Every time I move my head, I can feel them, and it’s weird, right? These pumpkins are smiling, and this is the most smiles you will see around my head ever. So I have a number of other things to get to. Well, we got to get everything set as we roll towards the election. But also, additionally, I got some culture stuff for you, including a guy who’s suing Hooters because they didn’t hire him. Well, he thinks he’s a woman and he wanted to work at Hooters. And. Well, the comments from social media have after I tweeted this out have been very interesting. We’re going to talk about all of this. We got a lot of stuff to hit our partners at pre-born.

Okay, what is this baby dressed as, though? He’s gnawing on this baby. What’s this baby dressed as? Is this baby dressed as a chicken? So that’s a little tendy. That baby’s dress is a little tendy. I mean, I get it. You know, you want to, I got to say, the White House is, I will, I do like the decorations. Those are my everyday decorations, so I would actually leave that up Until Santa had to come out, and then I’d put Santa’s on the other side, and then I’d bring it back out after Christmas. That’s just me, though. Like, you can get your everyday items, right? Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Jill dressed as a panda. I asked Kane on break, wasn’t she the babysitter or nanny to his kids, too? Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Because I’m curious. I thought that maybe she was. Apparently, I guess she did. She was a babysitter at some point. She was. Because there were some that were saying that she was the teenage babysitter. And some are disputing that. And I don’t know. I don’t know if she really was or not, but there’s a vast age difference there. I don’t know. Does it matter? No, she was dressed as a panda. I don’t I do like the Halloween decorations. I hate her Christmas decorations. I hate them because it looks it’s just there’s too many pastels and I hate it. That’s not what that’s. Jewel tone is Christmas. But I will say I do like the Halloween decorations. I will say that. But yeah, I don’t know. Those are my every. I’d keep those out all the time. Coming up. You know, live. We got some culture stuff to get into. Also, this video game clip. I’m going to set this up before we play it next hour. But there’s this video game that’s out and they have a cut scene in it. where the characters are shaming one of the other characters for not using the proper pronouns. And it’s apparently a game where you can, and I’m not even making this up, because you know how you can customize your character to an extent, depending on what game it is. You can choose whether or not you want elective mastectomy scars or not. Not even making this up. This, it is the cringiest video. You might cringe to death. So there is a warning. There’s a cringe to death warning on this, a cringe alert. I don’t do trigger warnings. I do cringe alerts because it’s so bad. I couldn’t even finish watching it. I was just like, as I was watching it, I just kept curling up like a shrimp, like, oh my gosh, why is that? It was so bad. So I’m going to play it for you because it’s Halloween and it’s the most terrifying thing you’ll hear all day. So we’re going to get into that as well. And then the latest with all of the election fight and the media malpractice, which is continuing. Oh, and on top of it, AOC is out there upholding Doug Emhoff. She said he is the representation of masculinity. Yes. Yes, that is correct. AOC. I’m just answering. I can hear their questions. Yes. AOC said that about Doug Emhoff. Yes, the guy who slapped his girlfriend in public in the valet line at the Cannes Film Festival. Correct. Yes, correct. The guy who impregnated his nanny and cheated on his first wife. Yes, that is absolutely correct. That guy, according to AOC, is the representation of masculinity.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Did she mispronounce femininity?
SPEAKER 01 :
I don’t know. Maybe you’re not. When you when you’re a bartender, you’re supposed to give the drinks that you make to other people, not drink them and then like go on and answer political questions on Instagram. I don’t know what her deal is, but that’s what I don’t know. So we got a lot to hit, y’all, as we roll towards our second hour. And you don’t want to miss a single bit of it because we’ve got a lot.

I’m typing up something super snotty right now to Miguel Cardona, who’s the secretary of, isn’t he education, Cardona? Health and No, no, no. That’s Mayorkas. You’re right, it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Welcome back. Dana Lash, top of the second hour. We’re being snotty on break is all we’re doing. We’re just being absolute. You know, I forgot to hit the wolf because I was so busy clapping back. Hold up. I’m going to hear it if I don’t. I will get hate mail. Got to give him his due. So welcome back. Top of the second hour. Dana Lash with you. Channel 347 Direct TV. Miguel Cardona tweeted, Happy Halloween. One of the scariest stories we can tell our children in the future is that there were folks who tried to defund and attack their public education, and we said idly by and let them. We will not let it happen. I’m saying one of the scariest things we can tell our children is that your administration will lose hundreds of thousands of them dragged across the border by coyotes and sold into child labor and sex slavery. That’s accurate, right? Yeah, that’s pretty accurate. We’re going to hit send tweet. Hold up. No, I got to do the clap back. Everything’s got to stop. We’ve got to send tweet. Because it’s true. And have they ever, like, have you ever heard anything about all them kids missing? Remember the New York Times story that we talked about? I mean, I’m just saying. That’s a lot of kids. A lot of kids. No, that’s the scariest thing. Remember the scariest thing used to be like razors in your candy? Did you guys freak out about this? Did your parents lose it when y’all were kids? My mom really didn’t care. Jesus. You get what you get. I know. That’s like, again, so I’m part of the Gen X generation. Yes, granted, the baby part, but still. And I went through my own candy. My mom was, she wore, had a, wore a cigarette. Kind of. She had a cigarette that never really went away. And it just, I think it was almost fake and it was like perched on her mouth. She was like Clint Eastwood. She’d be like, I broke all through her candy. I can’t, I gotta do it somehow. Is there a straw? I don’t know if I have a pen. Someone give me a straw. I need a straw cut in half. Because she would be like, yeah, better check your candy. I’m going to have to have a straw on my desk all the time for any time I do an impersonation of my mother. Because that’s how it was back in the day, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here, I’ll use my lip gloss. She’d be like, ah, that’s actually too big. I can’t let it just sit on my mouth. Anyway, she would say, she’d say, better go through your candy and check. Make sure there’s nothing weird in there. That was it. And we would, we’d all be in like my aunt’s house and we’d dump it all out on the floor and we’d go through our candy. And, you know, you would put like the bit of honey, the bit of honey, which was always like stale and hard. You’d break your jaw on it. Are you mad? Wait, did you give me trash for saying candy corn was the best Halloween treat?
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Yes, just like you’re giving me trash for liking bit of honey.
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh my gosh.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
No, you are not exalting bit of honey. It’s like eating a candle with sugar is candy corn. That’s what it is.
SPEAKER 01 :
Bit of honey, though, on the other hand… It’s like eating sugar.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
…is a wholesome honey-based treat.
SPEAKER 01 :
I’m just saying. So… gross okay if you think there’s real honey in there good for you I’m not gonna not gonna ruin your little dream it’s okay appreciate anyway so that’s how we anyway back to my point weren’t parents always told like you got a parents would tell their kids oh my gosh got a check because there was always cocaine or razors and I’m like who’s putting razors in like Tootsie Rolls and stuff like how are you getting razors I never had that issue I didn’t never knew anybody who had that issue That’s not the scariest thing, though. The scariest thing now is, well, damn, you might get kidnapped by some cartel members and sold into sex slavery. Better look out, kids. That’s actually, you know, statistically greater than having razors in your candy. I got to say. I don’t know. I at least I are you surprised that kids can even trick or treat anymore? Are you surprised?
Dana Loesch (Host) :
I actually put a story in your prep last night about a town that has lifted their ban on trick-or-treating since the 1930s.
SPEAKER 01 :
Was it Footloose?
Dana Loesch (Host) :
I know. And they finally lifted it this year. So kids this year, it’s like 80-something years, they haven’t been able to trick-or-treat, but this year they’re able to.
SPEAKER 01 :
That’s crazy. At least they can still go out and do that stuff. I haven’t heard anything about appropriation this year with costumes, have you? No. Yeah. My favorite thing is to go to Spirit Halloween the moment I can and look at all the costumes and kind of they don’t there’s zero political correctness there. They just don’t care. It’s like Spencer’s meets Hot Topic back when Hot Topic was sort of cool in a way. I mean, I never really got anything from there, but it was kind of I like the band posters that they had when I was in college and that there. But yeah, nobody really cares that Spirit Halloween you can dress up like a pimp and get a fake old chain. Just saying, you know, there’s all kinds of fun stuff there. I get it that not everybody does Halloween and trick-or-treating, and I don’t care. I always think it’s a great way to do… When do you have all these people coming to your house? Evangelize to them then. That’s fine. Give them out a Bible and a tootsie roll. I don’t care. Just don’t be throwing no shade on people who, you know, it’s not all about, it’s all Hallow’s Eve. It started as like a holy thing and then they moved the date so that they could absorb the pagan stuff. Apparently, wasn’t that the plan? Anyway, I don’t care. Everything’s been too serious. Dear heavens, let some people have a little bit of fun. Or I’m going to turn into Mudang and bite you all in the knee. That’s what’s going to happen. Oh my gosh. That little baby pygmy hippo. Love her. All right. So the garbage turnaround. been pretty amazing this uh women I’m going to pull this up because Harris that’s the story I had saved Julia Roberts did this video that she I think it came out yesterday there’s been a series of these uh celebrities and they have been um this is kind of weird They’ve been saying that women, you can secretly vote for Kamala. Julia Roberts did this video where she says women still have the right to choose in the voting booths, even if their husbands support Trump. What kind of toxic marriage does she have that she thinks that this is something that needs to be said? Right? How bad is your marriage that you feel like that this is something that you actually have to say? She says no one will ever know. I just think that says more about her than it does anybody else. Didn’t she get her husband from another woman? I’m just saying that might explain some things. Just saying. But it’s been an actual thing. Harris’s message out there has been, if you vote GOP, it’s because your man’s making you. That’s kind of what it was. In fact, that’s what Michelle Obama was saying to a Michigan audience. She said, quote, if you’re a woman who lives in a household of men that don’t listen to you or value your opinion, just remember that your vote is a private matter. I think that says more about Democrats than it does Republicans. I will say. Again, I was raised Democrat. One of my biological. genetic contribution units, is a Marxist. So, yeah, I totally get how Democrats think that that’s the norm. Completely. I saw it growing up. I mean, part of the way I am the way I am is because I realize that they are the way they are. So, they think that this is normal. They think it’s commonplace. I mean… This this is just it’s sexist. It’s inherently sexist because they’re telling women, well, you must not have a happy marriage if your husband’s voting for Trump. And also what they’re intimating is that simply voting Trump is abusive. Isn’t that kind of what you’re getting from this, too? That simply by voting Republican that you’re somehow your husband’s abusive. Yeah. like what it kind of feels like that’s what they’re saying here that’s what they’re projecting they have this smarmy ad it’s from a Harris group called vote common good and they’re presuming that husband that women are terrified of their husbands here’s Julia Roberts’s clip one’s got it ready watch this this is so dumb your turn honey in the one place in America where women still have a right to choose
Dana Loesch (Host) :
And no one will ever know.
SPEAKER 01 :
First off, what polling place looks like that?
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Did you make the right choice?
SPEAKER 01 :
Sure did, honey.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Remember, what happens in the booth stays in the booth. Vote Harris.
SPEAKER 01 :
So it’s it’s it. It projects that men are stupid. Men are abusive. Women are unempowered and weak. And that that’s exactly, you know, and that they are completely controlled. And it’s like, you know. That’s I find that so incredibly offensive. That’s so offensive. And again, I think that says more about the people who make this ad. I feel like the people who make this ad made this that are single and they’ve never been married or they’re married to a sexist misogynist who forces them to vote Democrat. And that’s why they’re there the way they are. I don’t know. But that’s how is this a winning message? Did you make the right choice, honey? Like he asks abusively. They’re just tone deaf. First, it’s, oh, well, black men are sexist. That’s why they’re not supporting Kamala. Oh, it couldn’t happen. It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that everybody’s broke and they like every other American skin color irrelevant can see this. Democrats think that it’s they really do think this. They think that the economic instability only affects certain people based on skin color. I mean, the racism that these people practice is so rooted in Sure did, honey. She thinks that women are the weaker sex and that their marriage is so unhealthy that they can’t talk honestly about political differences. That’s really sad. That is really sad. And it’s such a it promotes such an unhealthy view. Salon, which is basically a suppository of socialism. They said that MAGA men are freaking out that their wives are secretly voting for Harris. Literally no one. I don’t know any dude who thinks this or who is worried. This is all a fever dream that Democrats have. I mean, that’s what he thinks. That’s what all of these people think that are pushing this out. This is just so glamour. Can my husband find out who I voted for? The fact that you have to ask that question, you are actually a dumbass if you have to ask that question. Yeah, you can find out if someone voted, but you who you voted for is not something that you can just, you know, I can look and see if somebody voted in the election and you can see if they’re like registered Democrat or Republican or whatever. But and then you can make assumptions based on that. But otherwise, that’s such a dumb headline. Sexism and racism. That’s again, all they have. That’s all they have. All they have. And I just at some point, I don’t know, I guess I thought that Democrats would change their messaging. It’s been the same thing since I was a kid. I have not learned anything new from the Democrat Party. They have not offered any kind of new way forward. They have never modified or progressed their messaging. They haven’t modernized their messaging. It’s been the same stale, tired tread since the 70s, 60s. I don’t know. I’ve just heard it growing up the entire time. It was like that in the 80s into the 90s. It’s all I’ve ever heard from them. I’ve never heard anything different from them. And it’s so tiring. And despite all of that, everything is worse under them. Coming up, Georgia says you’re going to get your election results before the end of the night. They’re promising it. We’re going to get into that and so much more. We’ve got a lot to hit as we roll towards headlines. Our partners, the folks over at ReadyWise, they’re always ready even if you’re not.

Dana Loesch (Host) :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 01 :
So the Film Academy has added handwritten Pulp Fiction script, a whole bunch of stuff, including Mizuyazaki art to their collection of stuff that they’re, I guess, they’re auctioning off. But it was the Academy Museum in Los Angeles. They had their big fundraising gala. And like when Quentin Tarantino walked in with a duffel bag and everyone thought it was real weird. And then when he opened it up, it was his original handwritten script for Pulp Fiction with misspellings, mistakes and everything. He was giving it to the museum. It’s actually really crazy. And he writes like, I mean, it’s you can tell he writes fast. It’s kind of slow, but it’s very interesting. I thought that was like fascinating that he had that in there. So they had a whole bunch of stuff that they had that they had that they were auctioning off. So I thought that was kind of interesting. Let’s see. You know, animals seek alcohol in the wild. In Exeter in the UK, they’ve been studying the intriguing theory that, you know, drinking alcohol or ethanol is uniquely human. And apparently many other animals, isn’t there like a fermented fruit that’s on a bush that like a certain elephants and that will try to eat and they get drunk or something like that? They said that it’s an anthropocentric view that ethanol is just something that humans use. I actually do believe that because monkeys feed on special fruit. And I know that elephants do. And there’s like another animal that does as well. But they said that, yeah, this is actually a lot of animals will seek this out. There are even some sea life that will seek out like the venom of certain fish because it makes them high like octopus. It’s crazy. I didn’t even know that. Little Drunky Drunk Octopedies. What is it? Octopodies. Little Drunky McDrunk Octopodies down there. Drunk Octopodies, I feel like would be a very good band name of marine biologists who do punk and they play it in scuba suits. Just, you know. Okay. A study shows that belief alone could harm your brain. If you’re worried that you’re losing your mind, a study shows that believing that you were losing your mind by itself could actually hurt your brain and make you help lose your mind. That’s kind of crazy. It’s Pennsylvania State University that did this study. We have more in the way of changing the guard in the Senate. And what does the Senate look like after Tuesday? We’ll talk. Our partners at Black Rifle Coffee. The best coffee that is out there. The best roast. They get the best coffee beans. This is great coffee. Veteran owned, veteran run, veteran roasted.

SPEAKER 01 :
I was just thinking, and welcome back, Dana Lash with you, your lovable former retired goth curmudgeon. Still curmudgeon, but retired goth. Happy Halloween to you. All Hallows Eve. Bottom of this second hour. I told Kane on break the irony of Kamala Harris and her campaign telling women hey, you can keep your vote a secret from your husband. He’s probably going to beat you if you tell him that you’re not voting for Trump. The irony of her trying to use that as a campaign tactic while her husband’s out there like punching chicks in the valet line at the Cannes Film Festival and knocking up the nanny during his first marriage is chef’s kiss. Holy wow, man. Wow. The complete lack of self-awareness is stunning, Cain. It’s stunning.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
It does explain their response. Wow.
SPEAKER 01 :
I mean, when I think of Doug Emhoff, I think of that Smack My B-Up song from Prodigy. I mean, it’s the first… By the way, can I just… Will you indulge me one second? Let me… What defines privilege more than being Doug Emhoff, an entertainment lawyer with his girlfriend at one of the bougiest events in the world, the Cannes Film Festival? You are in the valet line. At a gala. In France. In southern France. You’re in the valet line. And you get upset because you think your girl is like flirting with one of the valets. And you slap her in front of people. And all her friends confirm it. Apparently there were witnesses. And you slap her in the valet line at the camp. I mean… If we were playing bougie bingo, we’d have it.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Did she accidentally say who she was voting for?
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh, maybe that’s why. Maybe she told him because see that wasn’t this like back in 2016 or 20 whenever because he’s only just recently he only just recently married Harris and they act like they’re an old married couple and then her kids grew up with that his kids grew up with her and they didn’t. I mean, they literally it’s all new. So I just got to say, you know, it’s just wild to me. The absolute chef’s kiss lack of self-awareness. The Economist has just announced that they are endorsing Harris. Today in irony. The Economist. Wow. So I knew that they were garbage and they have been for a very long time. But now it’s like official. I think it’s so lame. We have already endorsed. We can tell who you’ve endorsed by just, you know, by how your coverage is. Can you play Mark Cuban? Is Mark Cuban a plant? Is he a plant? Go ahead and play this for me. So this is Mark Cuban. I don’t know. Oh, was he on The Schmoo? Oh, you know what? He’s on that delightful show where they stuck cameras out in the barnyard. And then it just got picked up by NBC. It was NBC and it became a show called The Schmoo. Anyway, here he is. He’s probably on one of his jets. And he’s, I guess, zooming into The Schmoo. And this is what he had to say.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Wow. Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. Never. It’s just that simple.
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, he said that no strong, intelligent women would vote for the former president in his clip. Are they trying to lose? This is exactly what I would do. So wait a minute. Do you think Mark Cuban’s wife, is he married? Do you think that if she wanted to vote for Trump, did she? Because I kind of get the sense that she feels like she wouldn’t be able to tell Mark Cuban that she could. Yeah.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
She’d get her cash card cut off.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, he cut off her stipend that she gets every month. Her allowance. Her wifely allowance. Just saying. And if he thinks that there are no strong intelligence… So if his wife is voting with him, then I guess… I don’t know. That’s just wild to me. They think this is a winning message? Women don’t like to be browbeaten. I mean, especially if they have anti-authoritarian streaks like I do. The moment you come down heavy on me, I am not… And a lot of women are like this. I do not recoil. I will come at your throat. Like, I do not get back into a corner. A lot of chicks are like this. And when you start messaging to us like this, it’s reverse psychology. Like, my husband knows this, and so he tailors his message accordingly. Right? Right. That’s why we’ve been married for 24 years.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
But can we take a 30,000 foot view at the Democrat strategy here? Because it wasn’t that long ago and they’re still doing it. They’re saying men are sexist because they’re not voting for Kamala. And now they’re saying women are not strong or intelligent if they’re voting for Trump. So they’re insulting men and women as a strategy for getting votes coming up.
SPEAKER 01 :
So men are sexist if they don’t vote for Kamala and women are dumb and abused if they don’t vote for Kamala. Yep.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Yep, that’s their strategy. What the hell?
SPEAKER 01 :
I think we’re going to know pretty early on on Tuesday. I think we are. And I think the earlier we know, honestly, I think the better it is for Trump. And because that’s when you get a lot of the early counts right away are going to come in. And I think that’s when we’re going to know, honestly. I sort of feel like we’re going to know by 8 o’clock, 8.30 maybe, we’re going to have an idea. And then it’s just going to fill in the blanks from there. That’s what I honestly think. This messaging, I know women who are on the left that don’t like this sort of messaging. Man, they’re playing a very dangerous game, are they not? I mean, let them play it. I don’t want to interrupt them, you know, but I’m just saying. Dang. Now, you know who’s been… M.I.A. Mitch McConnell’s stepping down. Let me pull this up because I had the change in the guard. Mitch McConnell is going to be stepping down. He’s he’s not going to be leading the Senate and a lot of senators are trying to fill that vacuum. It’s going to be a lot of money dumping into the Senate races because the GOP have to win back the majority. And a lot of people, including, so the race to replace McConnell, John Cornyn, John Thune, Rick Scott. John Cornyn and I have a weird relationship. Like, he comes on every now and then. But it’s odd. Like, he and I don’t totally see eye to eye on gun stuff. He has come on, though, and we’ve sort of hammered it out. But he’s kind of he’s being in Texas. If you’re a Republican in Texas, the Cornyn’s record, you’re a moderate. And it’s kind of weird. But anyway, he’s John Thune from South Dakota, Rick Scott of all people. I think, I’m sorry, Rick Scott’s, I just think he’s trash. I think Rick Scott is a moderate rhino who passed red flag law. And so I see some of these like alt-right conspiracists that are flirting with him and having Rick Scott on their, you know, very poorly performing, you know, podcast, you know, whatever shows. And Rick Scott, of course, they would have him on. He’s, you know, He’s a red flag. He’s the guy who signed into law red flag legislation for Florida. They have a waiting period. And that’s because of Rick Scott. All the moderate stuff that you have in your legislation of your legislature is Rick Scott. Rick Scott dragged his feet on medical marijuana. DeSantis had to move to get it done with SB 182. One of the reasons why you have this stupid Amendment 3 fight in Florida right now, and by the way, that has nothing to do with weed. Anyone who thinks it has to do with marijuana, I’m sorry, and I don’t mean to sound like a bitch, but I’ve got to question your reading comprehension because I’ve read the ballot language because I don’t want to believe anybody, and there are too many right-leaning influencers, would you like me to name them, that are getting paid by Trulieve to promote Amendment 3, and they’re not telling you. And some of them are on. I’ve seen some of them on cable news. Some campaigns have gotten cash from Trulieve as campaign donations. The weird thing is, is I guess they forgot this is publicly available information considering how the donations have to be filed for the FCC or FEC. Interesting, isn’t it? So I bring that up because there’s been no transparency and I wanted to read the ballot language. Not that I didn’t trust the people because I had some very good friends, including Daniel Horowitz, who’s going to be on next hour, who were saying that it was bad. I wanted to read it. And I don’t know how you can read this and think it’s about marijuana. Marijuana is a variable. And I’m going to come back to my point here. because Trulieve is a Canadian company, and they’re literally writing law that benefits them. They have no liability for anything. They’re setting themselves up like a Pfizer slash Disney. Remember how Disney was set up to where they had as much power in the state of Florida? They’re like a city-state like the Vatican in Rome. They could do whatever they wanted. That’s what Trulieve is trying to get themselves to. They’ve spent millions of dollars. They’ve bankrolled a number of legislative campaigns. They’ve bankrolled a number of these. I know influencers that are getting six figures. I’ve seen a lot of my audience retweet them, and they don’t know that these people have been paid by them. I’ve seen it on Open Secrets, so I can tell you who’s been paid. It’s all out there, public. It’s sad. But the point is that it’s a big Canadian company that came in. They wrote the amendment. The CEO wrote the amendment, and they are trying to make it to where they control all of marijuana in Florida. If you think you’re going to get a license to grow and sell in Florida… I got a bridge to sell you. It’s not going to happen. It’s going to they’re going to control it. It’s going to be a racket. I mean, there’s you can’t grow or say or sell or do anything. They ought to run it like moonshine. Everybody should they should make these laws to match that like moonshine. You know what I mean? They’re actually going to make they’re going to they’re going to it’s like a steroid shot for the black market. That’s what’s going to happen in Florida with us. And Trulieve will run everything. It is absolutely a monopoly. Anyone who has two brain cells to rub together and can read the ballot language knows this. So I don’t know why these people are trying to blow smoke up your backside, acting like it’s not big government. And any Republican that’s out there endorsing this stuff, go ahead and kiss Pfizer’s ass, too, because it’s the same thing. Go ahead and go fluff big pharma. It’s the same thing. The exact same thing. It has nothing to do with marijuana. Don’t be like, I’m going to like it because it says marijuana in it. And that makes me look cool by association. No, it just shows you haven’t read the ballot language and you’re back in big government. It has nothing to do with weed. If you like marijuana and I’m not a pot person, I hate big government. That’s why I hate Amendment 3. Anyway, my whole point is that they’re going to have to change Rick Scott in Florida. He was one of the reasons why this is a problem and one of the reasons why the legislature never moved on this. And now you have him. He’s announced that he’s throwing his hat in the ring to place Mitch McConnell. I want you to watch the people who back Rick Scott on this. The people who back Rick Scott on replacing Mitch McConnell are not your allies. They are your ideological enemies. People who are backing Rick Scott to replace Mitch McConnell are ideological enemies. And I would use a stronger word, but that one will suffice right now. It is, he’s actually in some respects worse than Mitch McConnell. I mean, we would be de-evolving. We’re not moving towards more limited government with somebody like that. You’re literally going for at least Mitch McConnell didn’t push red flag law like Rick Scott did. So you make note of who supports him for Senate leader. Might as well not even have the damn Senate if you’re going to have somebody like Rick Scott lead it. I mean, hell, at least get a real a Democrat who’s unafraid to say that they’re Democrat instead of one who cosplays as one as a Republican, but really is a Democrat. We’ve got a lot more on the way still, but that’s what’s happening. In Texas, you’ve got Cruz going up against this Colin Allred guy. Here’s the thing. And I made a remark about this to a friend of mine the other day. Beto O’Rourke was a horrible candidate, but he had a good network of people running his campaign that ran the campaign like a system where they’re just pulling levers. It didn’t matter who the candidate was. Beto was just a bad candidate. And a lot of those people were people left over from the Wendy Davis thing. That was an exercise in just seating the ground and registering Democrats. Colin Allred is a little similar. He is… I’m not saying that he’s a good politician or good candidate or good for the seat. But in terms of being a more competent human as a candidate, he’s more competent than Beto because he doesn’t commit as many unforced errors. But he doesn’t have the mechanism there that’s running his campaign the way that Beto or Work had. And so it’s a little bit it’s just weird. And I think as a result of that, he doesn’t have a lot of that shine and a lot of that momentum. But it’s close. I think it’s close. It’s, you know, it’s definitely close. And I think that has to do with feelings towards Cruz more so than a change in the makeup of the electorate, which is a whole other story. And we’ll dive into all of that stuff post-election. We got to go because we got Florida Man on the way.
Dana Loesch :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, authorities said that a drunk Florida man was arrested for causing a disturbance at the House of Blues in Orlando in Disney Springs as he repeatedly spat at deputies before he was taken to jail. As a result, Domingo Pagan, 47, faces multiple criminal charges. He had to be taken away in a spit mask, according to sheriff’s office. He… It ended up happening. It happened back in August, but it takes weeks to get public records, which is why it’s just news now. But he had to be secured in handcuffs and a spit mask. And because he was he was pretending that he was going to throw up and then he was spitting at people. He would pretend to throw up to get the mask taken off his face. And then we do it. He’d spit at officers. So they put it back on. And it was a cycle. So that’s yeah, he is represented by. Well, he doesn’t have his own representation, but he’s in the pokey. So good heavens. A Florida man. Randomly assaulted a sleeping United passenger in a bloody mid-flight beating, say the feds. 44-year-old Everett Chad Nelson is facing federal charges after he beat a sleeping traveler. He apparently randomly sucker punched this dude while flying from California to D.C. for no reason. And then apparently, like, there was blood flying everywhere. Two hours into the five-hour journey, it happened. It was going from San Francisco to Dulles, of course, San Francisco. The 44-year-old Nelson left his seat in the rear of the aircraft, headed one of the laboratories up front. 82 passengers, six crew members aboard the flight. When Nelson got out of the bathroom, he stopped at 12F and without notice began physically attacking a sleeping male passenger. He punched him repeatedly into the face until… And his head until blood was drawn. And then they said it went for a full minute. The man began screaming and then a good Samaritan intervened, pulled Nelson off of him. And he gave the guy two black eyes, busted his nose, blood all over everything. And no, apparently they had no pre-existing condition. I mean, like apparently it came out of absolutely nowhere. and flight attendants moved nelson to where to where they could keep an eye on him for the remainder of the flight and then the victim was treated by doctors a doctor who happened to be on board and then uh they had the fbi apparently met him when he got out of the gate and all this stuff so he’s gonna he’s into he’s in detention and he’s gonna go facing he’s gonna be arraigned i think coming up so wow he could face a few years behind bars completely random And then let’s see here. A Florida man got arrested because he stole $100,000 of frozen bacon. That’s a lot of bacon. $100,000 in Miami. 40-year-old Marcus Bernal, a 53-foot refrigerated semi. Stick with us, third hour. Welcome back to the show, guys. Oh, wait, wait, wait. I forgot it again. Dana Lash here with you, my werewolf, because it’s all Hallow’s Eve. See, we got our werewolf. I got… This dude’s new. I don’t know what he is, but I liked his chain. So we got, like, all kind of new things happening right now. It’s all crazy. I would have him… I previously had this dude on the porch, but… He’s scared the hell out of… Oh, I’m not turning it off all the way. We’re just going to let it go. Sorry. It’s on live radio. No big deal. The button is not properly… This is like a horrible design. Welcome back. Top of the third hour. Dana Latch with you. And we are on this crazy train to Tuesday. I don’t know. I’m ready for this election to be over. People are fighting. I just watched a video of a lady, a poll worker hit a dude and then he threw his hat at her and everyone’s losing their minds. And just be cool, please, when you’re going to vote. Just be cool. And let everybody else be the jerks. You lose nothing. I don’t know. It’s kind of crazy. And we were going over some of the polling. It’s close. And I’m also extorting you, please do not Please do not take everything to be, you know, gospel truth with a lot of these polls that are out because they’re not all accurate. And I just I do think it’s close. I think maybe looking at down ballot gives you a better ideas to the health of the top of the ticket and being and the distance between these two candidates than it does looking at like these national surveys. Honestly, it’s just my feeling on it. But can I switch gears real quick? I need to lighten it up for a moment. Can we talk about the guy who wanted to work at Hooters? Oh, ladies. Oh, gentlemen, this happened. A man is suing Hooters for discrimination because they wouldn’t hire him. And he said it was discriminatory. They wouldn’t hire him based on his image. Now, I’m seeing him as a woman and he’s ugly. He is an ugly chick. He is a big, ugly chick. Are you sure? I mean, are you shocked that he’s a big ugly chick? Of course not. He’s not attractive. And I don’t care if a restaurant is like, you know what? We want only attractive people serving our attendees. That’s it. I don’t even know what they have there. Just I mean, I’m assuming all kinds of chicken. I don’t even know. We only want attractive women serving our chicken. And I’m like, at least they’re being honest about it. I mean, who are you to judge? It’s their business. They can do whatever. Leave it alone. You don’t have to go there. And this guy is mad. I honestly think that he might win because it’s in New York. He filed a claim with the New York State Division of Human Rights. They investigated, of course, and they found that his rights may have been violated. Whose rights? His? His. Oh, his rights. Okay. And continuing with my favorite sentence in the piece, Hooters has hit back. They said that the guy… I don’t know. Did he change his name? Well, he goes by Brandy Livingston. Of course he does. Juan, you’re going to have to show his whatever haircut that is that he’s got. Dude, I don’t even know what haircut this is that he has. So Hooters, Hooters hit back. They said they said that, you know, basically what I was telling you, they said that he was told he couldn’t he couldn’t go to the back to their establishment because his behavior was offensive. They said he made sexually explicit comments to servers on multiple occasions before he transitioned. And he apparently, he’s accused of asking servers to marry him and then discussing stuff that no one should ever discuss in a public setting. Yeah. Or with anyone. Period. And then he threatened to go to a gun range for practice the next time he comes. Oh, that’s something. I actually believe that. Now, Juan is showing you this dude. I don’t know what the haircut is. It’s like a… skunk mullet. I don’t even know what it is. It’s like a rat tail. It’s like a rat tail and a mullet married and had the baby on its head, on his head. That’s what it is.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Side mullet.
SPEAKER 01 :
It’s not even a side mullet. Well, we’ll hopefully show the guy. We’ll show the guy again in the video, but this is some of the video. The guy is just nasty, but he’s a big dude. So is this about him thinking that he’s a chick and wanting to work at Hooters? Or is it, it sounds like he was a psycho over these chicks and was harassing them and then found a new way to harass them. This guy’s hair, Juan’s got it up. That’s like a rat tail and a mullet that had a baby. I mean, in all my time, I ain’t never seen anything like that. And I got family from Southern Missouri, and I ain’t never seen no hair like this. I don’t even know what this is. No. If I was a dude, I would not want him to serve me at Hooters. I wouldn’t go to Hooters, but I’m just saying, if I was a dude and I went to Hooters, I wouldn’t want that guy to serve me no tendies. I’d be like, I need a new server because this one’s ugly. I would say that. Can you imagine? I would be a horrible dude. I really would be. I mean, it… Be like, this one’s ugly. Bring me a new one. I don’t want this one. Oh, and then so this guy was like, I never said anything. My mom would take me to the gun range for clay pigeon and shooting and trap. And he goes, I feel like one of the servers might have overheard me and my dad were talking about. Wait, so you went to Hooters with your dad? Dudes, is that normal? Is that normal?
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Is it normal to go with a dude?
SPEAKER 01 :
No, with your dad.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
I don’t see why not. I think I’ve been to Hooters with my dad before. I’ve been with my dad as well.
SPEAKER 01 :
Have you?
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Yeah.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
I mean, they serve burgers and chicken. I mean, I don’t know what they serve, really.
SPEAKER 01 :
All right. All right. Oh, you don’t? I love how you just added that in there. That’s just like I’m going to judge. You’re a dude.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
They may have wings.
SPEAKER 01 :
You’re a single man. You can go to Hooters. They may have fries. It’s not like people who get hired at Hooters don’t know what they’re doing. It’s not like, all right, we’re going to serve chicken. And then after they hire and they sign a contract, it’s not like the owners go, all right, you’re going to have TNA out and you’re going to wear these ugly tan tights and tight orange shorts and serve chicken. It’s called Hooters for a reason, ladies. That’s not how this happens. Like everybody knows, right? I he goes what this dude says. He goes, I don’t want money. I just want an apology. I’m never going to get that. No, you’re not because you’re an ugly dude who has no business working at Hooters unless you’re bussing tables. Not going to happen. Not going to happen. You know what? You’re not made for everything. And that’s OK. Not everything in life is fair. I’m not a caprillionaire or what is it? A decillionaire. Is that what it’s called now? I’m not that. That’s OK. Not everything in life is fair. That’s all right. You know, I’m short wasted. That’s OK. Not everything in life is fair. I get it.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
They could put him in charge of carrying those hundred pound bags.
SPEAKER 01 :
I mean, he could do security, but that’s like it. Actually, that would be very effective. Put him in that outfit and put him at the door. There is no dude who wants to be going up against Brandy at Hooters, right? Hi, welcome to Hooters. My name is Brandy. I feel like he doesn’t even need to have any kind of enhancements. It’s just kind of there already. Just lift it up for him.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
It’s ma’am.
SPEAKER 01 :
It’s ma’am. Happy Halloween. Oh, you’re already dressed up. How dare you?
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Excuse me, it’s ma’am. It is ma’am.
SPEAKER 01 :
By the way, the dude in that video looked like He-Man through an evil filter. Like an evil He-Man from a different universe. Right?
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Like he and Skeletor melded together.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean… The looking glass told me Brandy was a fine girl. Oh, Steve. Oh, my gosh. I had to… By the way, there were people literally who were protesting outside of the Hooters. Well, there were like threes of people outside. Yeah, and there’s a sign that says justice for Brandy. What is wrong with you people? I’m sorry. No, you are. You are lame as all get out and cringe. If you have the time, I’m going to go make a sign and protest outside of a Hooters because it’s fair. I couldn’t get hired there. Who does this? Who does this? Oh my gosh. Can you imagine not having a life? And this is what you do. And there are two dudes and a Karen. Of course they are. Yeah, you’re right, actually. Yeah, you’re probably correct. Well, there you go. I mean, just saying. We live in a crazy time. Just think, there’s like one pretty lady that this dude could disenfranchise by trying to force them to hire him. Just put him up, literally, put him up in the outfit and stick him at the door. All right, Brandy, you’re doing security and bussing tables. I want to serve tendies. No, you’re not. You’re going to do security at the door, Brandy. Take your big ass over there. I don’t know if I want to go to that. Their door lady is terrifying. My eyes are up here, man. Oh, come on, guys. Oh, all right. So I had we had to have a break because it’s insane right now. We’re just it’s crazy. We had to have a break, a little bit of a break. All right. One other culture thing. And then we’re going to get back to meat and potatoes because we got Daniel Horowitz coming up and we’re going to talk deep about economics and everything else. So I saw is there. I saw a headline. It said women applaud and men mourn the downfall of high heels. They’re trying to say that high heels are on the out. And I think that would be a horrible insult to all of femaldom if that happened. hey heels make your legs look better they’re great for your calves they’re great for your muscles really they are great for your the way you’re shaped if you obviously if you have good posture but what do they want everybody to wear them Clydesdale clod hoppers I don’t understand like what but I get the sense that someone was saying that it’s like um It’s like a fourth wave feminist rejection of traditional femininity. And I don’t know about you, but I want to take these fourth wavers and swing them around by their hair. They’re all brandies now to me. I’m done with it. They said there’s a generational shift. And someone was saying that it’s like fourth wave and that it’s, you know, it’s more for men than it is. No, it’s not. It’s not more for men. And if anyone thinks that, then you have like a skewed view. And they’re comfortable if you know how to walk in them and you get the proper shoes. I feel like women, ladies, you got a question about heels, you come ask your girl. You come ask me. Men, you send your ladies to come ask me. I will answer any question for you. That makes me sad, though, because high heels are great. Rounded toes are horrible. Platforms are horrible. Heels are where it’s at. They make your legs look good. I swear they’ll take weight off you. Ladies, you just trust me on this, please. All right, so a couple of other things. is that people have been going to the polls and early voting. You’ve got millions of early, like half the country apparently is like, well, half of the voters are estimating have already voted. And this, I’m looking at some of this. This is a, here’s the headline I wanted. Harris says that she will be sadly ready. And that was in quotes. If Trump prematurely claims victory Tuesday, what does that mean? She was asked by ABC in an interview what she would do if Trump were to say that he won before the results are in Tuesday. And they said, well, you know, he did in 2020. She goes, quote, we are sadly writing if he does, if we know that he is actually manipulating the press and attempting to manipulate the consensus of the people, we are prepared to respond. What does that even mean? And they are trying to knock him for only committed to accepting the election results if he thinks that they’re free and fair. You guys realize that you all said that he was illegitimate in 2016, right? They all said that.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
And they immediately impeached him like day one.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah. And then they had rioted the night of the inauguration. Well, also the night of the election, but the night of the inauguration. So I don’t know what they think they’re getting at here.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 01 :
So first up, Amazon announces a plan to develop four nuclear reactors along the Columbia River. And they’re building everything lately. Amazon’s going crazy. The announcement knew they said that the plans, it’s four nuclear reactors along the Columbia River in Washington to to in an effort to consistently achieve net zero carbon. The facility, a small modular reactor created in collaboration with Energy Northwest, will be sanctioned near the Columbia Generating Station Nuclear Energy Facility in Richmond, Washington. So, nuclear power. A driver who caused a crash was playing the TikTok driving challenge. Say police. How great. I’m so tired of this stuff. It’s all this stupid influencer stuff. They said, um… The two-vehicle crash ended with one car on fire, and it was caused by a driver who played a TikTok game called Drift. According to the Central Police Department, officers responded to calls about a northbound vehicle, and apparently it was like brake-checking other drivers, and it was… This is so dumb. Let’s, like, not do this stuff. Of course, don’t have anything about the perps, really. But this… Oh. Some… Well, this… No, I’m not gonna… Don’t… I don’t understand this. This woman is 107 years old. Lives to 107. She has a four-inch longevity horn growing what from her forehead? Like a narwhal? She’s from China. She has a horn growing out of her head. You’re the devil. It was on the Chinese version of TikTok. I guess it’s real. It’s kind of crazy. They said she’s good. She’s in good health. It’s a cutaneous horn and it has to do with prolonged sun exposure. It’s really gross looking. They said it’s benign, but you know, things could grow malignant. That’s actually gross. Like just cut it off. Why would you let it go? You know what I mean? Like just cut it off. You got, I don’t know. Now we’re all grossed out. Now, jaywalking is now legal in New York City. Now, you know, jaywalking is if you’re walking out in the street, you’re not in a crosswalk. Although I feel like everybody does that anyway in New York. I mean, maybe not so much if you’re like right downtown in Midtown, but like on some of the other streets. I feel everybody already does it anyway. If there’s no cars coming, then they just go. But if you’re crossing against the light, you’re not going to get ticketed now against the light or not in a crosswalk. There you go. Daniel Horowitz next.
Dana Loesch (Host) :

SPEAKER 01 :
We have to run the werewolf because it’s Halloween. It’s the only time I get to use this Costco purchase. So let me have it. Let me have my time. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We are at the bottom of this third hour. And good to be with you. You can watch Coast to Coast. Obviously, you can listen Coast to Coast, Channel 347, DirecTV as well. And one of the things that we’re going to have to we’ve been talking about polling. We’ve been talking about the state of the election, battleground states, the Senate, all kinds of stuff. But one of the things we haven’t touched on that we’re going to have to. And I think, you know, Republicans, conservatives are going to have to the day after the morning after the election is the economy, because no matter what happens, a disaster is looming. What are we going to do about it? Because one of the biggest criticisms that I had during the last administration was, and this is pre-COVID, there was a lot of spending. And my complaint was that Republicans are going to run up the debt. They’re going to spend, spend, spend. And then Democrats are going to say, well, now we can’t cut taxes because, you know, that’s going to cost. And lo and behold, that’s exactly what happened. One person who has been talking about this, senior editor over at The Blaze, Daniel Horowitz, one of the smartest people I know. Always good to see him. He has been talking about this. He’s written quite a lot about this. And he’s asking just that question. So we got to start thinking about what happens the day after the election, regardless of who wins. And if it’s Trump, what are Republicans going to do about it? Daniel, it’s good to see you. Thank you so much for being here.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Hey, it’s been way too long. Great to be back with you.
SPEAKER 01 :
I know.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
I know that’s my fault. That’s my fault. But I’m glad you’re really giving time to this because Tuesday is not that far away. I know our side likes to think about the election like it’s some sort of time warp. Oh, I’ll think about that later. Well, in a few days, it’s going to happen. And the bottom line is that we have our campaign rhetoric and Biden inflation, and I have no problem settling in with it because he spent a lot of the money. He agrees with it. He agrees with the spending and supported it when Republicans did it. But what happens if Republicans take over really in both scenarios? But let’s talk about if they take over. We have never faced a situation like this before. OK, typically they were able to manipulate it with low interest rates where we could service the debt on the cheap. And it was just something on a spreadsheet. Yeah. One day we’ll have to pay it back. The problem that Republicans have failed to communicate to the public is that this is not a futuristic government spreadsheet issue. This is a you issue. This is your wallet issue. And it’s a here and now issue. The $1.1 trillion in interest on the debt per year and the printing they need to do to service that and offer higher yields to buyers, especially now that foreign countries are shirking these opportunities to buy the debt, well, guess what? That is the higher prices. Inflation is so hot that even with oil temporarily, at least as of now going down, which might portend a deep recession, Inflation is terrible. So Republicans, their only plan is drill, baby, drill. Now, the problem with that is that inflation is the core inflation. It has nothing to do with that. It’s the the debt and the spending. And you can’t drill, baby, drill and spend, baby, spend. So it was great when Biden was president. They have all these talking points. But we really do need an understanding. of what they’re going to do. Because, Dana, I’m just telling you, everything Republicans say they’re going to do will actually only add to it.
SPEAKER 01 :
And that’s the terrifying thing. I mean, some of these proposals, talking with our good friend Daniel Horowitz, who also does a CR podcast, I mean, I haven’t really seen any… Basically, all I’ve heard are like 30,000-foot kind of talking points about, yeah, yeah, yeah, we’re going to spin less and we’re going to cut spinning. But it goes so much further beyond that, as you’re just illustrating. So, like, okay, so say Trump wins on Tuesday. I know it’s, like, really close in a number of battleground states. Ultimately, how does the… What are… What should the first thing that Republicans be thinking of? Because I feel like the economy, obviously the border, but the economy, we’re not going to be able to do anything else if the economy is in shambles because they’re not acting quickly enough.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
No, people really don’t understand this. We are facing stagflation. There’s nowhere to go. And that’s why housing is so limited and prices are still going up with rates high. We’re suffering the worst of both because we’re not in a natural economy. The amount of money we’re spending, let me just give you one figure to encapsulate the problem. So since the pre-COVID baseline, our economy has grown $7.4 trillion. Okay. Well, we’ve accrued 12.6 trillion in debt. That means not only is our entire economy built upon federal spending now and adjacent spending propping up individual welfare and the corporate welfare like the electric vehicle subsidies, but we’re only getting 59 cents on the dollar of that investment. We’re getting 59% of it. And now the money is gone. We need even more to service it. All that spending that the public got from the handouts is spent. Net savings are negative now. The credit card debt is record high. The rates are record high. The consumer is tapped out. There’s nowhere to go. Now, look, even if Republicans had no prior history, and we all know that they kind of shared in the COVID spending, $7 trillion in spending, but let’s say they never existed. Yeah, but I don’t even want to bring that up. Let’s say they were created today. Okay, let’s be nice. Let’s say it was completely not their fault. But at the end of the day, we have a problem and we need a solution. And they’re promising more defense spending, more tax cuts, which in a vacuum we like, but it We’re not going to actualize the Lafer curve in the sort of economy we have anymore. That’s just a reality. It’s going to blow the deficit more. OK, student loans, they’re going to forgive them. I mean, that’s that’s a reality. Now they want to do car loans, which will just inflate, create a new asset bubble there. I mean, everything they’re proposing will do that. So what I would say is the first thing they need to do, and this is very important that your listeners hear this. Biden passed a trillion dollar infrastructure bill and a Green New Deal that was scored for a few hundred billion. But Goldman Sachs says it can be in the trillions, which we know will be. Here’s the good news. A lot of that money has not yet been spent. They’re trying to furiously get it out the door before Trump comes in. The first promise needs to be Trump needs to claw that back executively and not spend it. But this is Obamacare 2.0. We already know they’re not going to do anything on the old, you know, Great Society programs and even the Obama era stuff. But at a minimum, they must fully repeal the Green New Deal.
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh, they have to completely. But they have to. Is there he’s already shaking his hand because he has had it because Daniel is where that’s going to go. Do Republicans have the political will? And that’s assuming we have that. We have the White House. We have the Senate and we maintain the House, which it looks a little tougher for the House than it does the Senate right now. And as you know, power the person, the House. So I I’m just going to say if I’m shaking my magic eight ball, Daniel, I’m thinking not likely.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
You know, you have the gas and oil lobbyists. See, they they want the honey for everything. Right. They want low regulations, but they want everyone’s subsidy. So that’s how the Republican Party is. Low tax socialism. That’s that’s essentially where we are.
SPEAKER 01 :
I mean, I do get that. I do. I completely do get that.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
They have signaled just like remember Obamacare. Repeal it. Well, repeal and replace. Well, actually, just the part, you know, the oblique parts of it, the funding mechanism of it, but not the regulatory structure. Same thing here. The core of the Green New Deal are the solar, wind, EV and carbon capture subsidies. They want them. A number of Republicans have already written a letter to leadership demanding it. The lobbyists are demanding it. And I’m just going to tell you, even when Republicans were out of power. 80 House Republicans would vote against every tiny cut proposed in these like appropriation bills to the Department of Energy, EV, grift or whatever. And then that’s before you get to the Senate GOP, which makes the House GOP look like the founding fathers. So, I mean, honestly, we really need to have a family discussion about this because we got the party has not changed.
SPEAKER 01 :
No, it true. It hasn’t. We’re talking with our friend Daniel Horowitz, senior editor of The Blaze and host of the Sierra podcast. I wanted to ask you kind of switch gears here with our time, because so much of this is, as you said, it’s it’s you know, it’s really low tax socialism in Florida because Florida is always advertised as the blueprint. This is the blueprint for conservatism going forward, the blueprint for low taxation. And this is how you run the state and how you how you get turnout voters and register voters. They’re dealing with two particular amendments. Amendment four. And I’ve talked about the abortion stuff quite a bit. Amendment three is really wild to me. That more people don’t see it for what it is. And this is it’s being called the legalized marijuana thing amendment. But it’s not really because DeSantis already did the medical marijuana SB 182, etc. This is about creating a monopoly. And allowing big government, again, low tax social, allowing a foreign entity write law for a state, which is weird to me that you would, that’s allowable even, get it passed and it protects them from liability, protects them from all of this kind of stuff. There are Republicans, Daniel, that support this. So when you say that we need to have a big family discussion, you’re right, because they even support like creating, you know, little Pfizer fiefdoms like this with Trulieve, this pot company out of Canada. I wanted to kind of get your thoughts on that.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
on this i mean the notion that you would stick marijuana in the constitution as a fundamental constitutional right people need to understand constitutional right is a is a sledgehammer um that’s a rarely to put it rarely do you want to use that i mean wherever you stand on any issue because there’s a few things that are that categorical that i mean if you have a guy you know uh who’s who’s the equivalent of drunk driving with marijuana. When you create a fundamental right, it limits the ability criminally to punish that person. There’s all sorts of problems. Obviously, you mentioned the monopoly, that there’s a reason you have one company spending potentially $140 million on an amendment. To my knowledge, that is the most expensive ballot initiative in American history, but it’s all from one company. Usually, it’s more diverse. So that tells you everything you need to know. And look, we know that the chemical behind it is a lot more potent than what our parents, you know, age people in the 60s, maybe smoked in college. It’s not the same thing. So when you absolve that company of liability at a time that we’ve all had this reawakening and recognition that there’s a problem with the vaccine liability shield, in my view, that violates the spirit of the federal Seventh Amendment, absolving them of any, you know, chance to recover injury through a jury trial. That’s a big, big problem. And look, we’ve had these theoretical debates. Oh, well, what would happen if we just just legalize it? It will take it away, take away the problems. The criminality and the vagrancy has gotten worse in every single state that has done this. The reality is you can’t half ass libertarianism. If I were starting a civilization in 1789, would I initiate a regulation on it? No, but with the criminal justice system we have and with the education system we have and with the endless drug programs we have, see, I used to meet people and say, hey, just let them overdose, they’ll die, and then everyone else will learn and the market will sort that out. The problem is we have endless billions of dollars worth spending on the subsidy side and on the treatment side you can’t have that but then denude the law enforcement side you get colorado you get california and actually in california it is on the ballot this year to repeal prop 47 which limited some of the penalties we’ll see what happens there
SPEAKER 01 :
That’s a great point that you make, because this isn’t a decision that’s made in a vacuum. You have all of these other variables that affect this, that make it to where it’s way more complicated than just saying, well, let’s go one way or the other. Exactly. We’re short on time now, but Dino, I would love to have you back, especially after the election. You got to come back after the election next week. We’ll see what happens. But, you know, we’ll go from there. We’ll all watch Tuesday and see what happens. But it’s so good to see you, Daniel Horowitz, as always. And you can find him. I want to make sure I have you on X, too. I retweeted you, so you’re on X. Make sure you go find him on X as well. Good to see you, my friend.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Great to see you. Looking forward to coming back.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yes, sir.
SPEAKER 01 :
It’s a game cutscene.
Dana Loesch :
Oh my gosh. I mean, they still keep going. They’re still going.
SPEAKER 01 :
Trans Tifa. They could have not done any of it. So this is a horrible game that no one’s ever going to play. And it’s, what is this? This is the Veil Guard. Dragon Age the Veil Guard. I hope all these characters get eaten by dragons savagely. I hope all the characters just bitten in half by dragons. I hope that’s what happens. Just chompity-chomp-chomp. I hope the dragon moo-dangs all of them. Bites them like moo-dang wants to bite her keeper’s knees. That’s what I hope happens. This is so stupid. Like, with this game, you can actually, like, choose a character, make your character have mastectomy, like, elective mastectomy scars. which I think diminishes and mocks what survivors go through. This is what’s happening with gaming. They are trying to push this DEI trans-tifa nonsense so hard in gaming. They’re going to try to ruin the last refuge for people who want to be left alone. We’ll have more on this coming up today in Stupidity Cane, although that could suffice.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
Yeah, well, it’s former President Bill Clinton. Now, we’ve talked about this before. Is Biden and Clinton, are they just like, you know, Trump supporters by saying stuff like this? But anyway, listen to what Bill Clinton had to say.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
What? So he’s admitting the economy was better under Trump. And you shouldn’t vote just because of his better economy.
SPEAKER 01 :
There you go.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
So there it is. He’s stumping for Trump, I guess.
SPEAKER 01 :
Exactly.
Dana Loesch (Host) :
I don’t get it. But that’s just another old election.
SPEAKER 01 :
Elections days away. Days away, guys. Days away. That does it for us today. Make sure you find us over on Facebook. And YouTube, Rumble, Substack, Chapter and Verse, and X. I hope you have a great night. I will be back behind the mic with you tomorrow.
