(00:00):
Dana Lashes of Search Truth podcast sponsoredby Keltech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida man. How much is a truck
of dirt? Truckload of dirt?Really? That's just for like the labor

(00:25):
and the gas. Here's yeah kindof here's my mask on this. This
guy in Florida stole three thousand dollarsworth of dirt. Fifteen loads, three
thousand dollars? Is it like aspecial dirt? So I say this to
someone. Look, my family,they're they're all rural. If you need

(00:47):
dirt, you just go to oneof them backfields and you get you some
dirt, you know what I mean? Like, that's so this is a
foreign concept to me. Well,there are some places that process dirt.
And if you need to grade yourproperty and get a couple tons of dirt
on there to grate it properly,you need you want that process dirt.
And it's a couple hundred bucks.A Trump made that process dirt. I

(01:07):
need that that good process starts.What I mean, lean there. I
don't want any nails or crazy stuffin it. That makes sense. So
the victims a field, I meanagain, I say this is somebody who,
oh, you go get you someloads of dirt from that field back
there. I mean literally, that'show that's how it went. Uh.
The victim is the field operations supervisorfor Lee Acres Municipal Services Improvement District.

(01:27):
They said the employee noticed agent andtrucks. They looked like they were ready
for dirt to be loaded, andthey said there's no authorization. It took
two took two to three months toget a contract. He didn't recognize the
men trying to move it and theygot one. Guy was arrested charge with
grand theft. He's in the LeeCounty jail. But that's why would you
steal dirt of all the things togo to jail over? Hey, dirt

(01:52):
doesn't grow on trees. True,I've heard of taking your child to work
day like taking your kid to work, but this is kind of ridiculous.
If Florida man brought his five monthold son to a home burglary attempt and
he even set his baby down sohe could pull a knife on the homeowner.
Corey Matthews, twenty two, wasarrested on charges including aggravated assault and

(02:13):
child neglect at Saint Petersburg police saidMonday evening, he held his baby in
a car seat as he acted aslookout for another man trying to break into
a home. Matthews yelled up onseeing the homeowner. The other suspect fled.
The homeowner followed Matthew's down an alley, where he put the baby on
the ground, threaten the owner witha knife, and he was still carrying
the baby when police later apprehended him. The child is in custody of the

(02:36):
guys of its The mother has thebaby. Now, Oh my gosh,
how does that happen? How?Oh? Man? Okay, all right,
Okay, a Florida man shot downa Walmart drone. I'm actually surprised
that this is the only story thatI've seen on this, because there are
a couple of other stories that I'veseen that are similar to this. Uh

(02:59):
yeah, because another guide shut downEarth And I think because it's the drone
somebody else's property and technically, dependingon how the altitude the airspace, you
can't claim that it's in your airspace. There's like a lot of restrictions that
go along with it. Keltech isa fantastic Florida based creator of pistols and
rifles and shotguns, accessories, gear, and they continue the mission of game

follow them on social media. That'sk e Ltec Weapons dot Com. Tell
them danasen't you And they kept saying, you know, he had a cold,

(04:13):
but this is a thing. Whenyou have a coal, there's many
things you can take for it.We didn't know he had a coal until
he stood up. A coal doesn'tforce you to lose your train of thought.
A coal doesn't force you to justthrow things out randomly. That to
many people made no sense. Andso how long do we continue to act
like that we didn't see what wejust saw last night? I thought for
many people the word I keep hearingit was very painful to watch. Well,

(04:36):
I want to go I want togo. Wow. Can you believe
that they're saying that, Yes,I can. They knew it the whole
time, They're just saying it nowbecause you can see it. Do not
be fooled, and do not think, oh, wow, it's so bad.
These people are finally being honest.No, they knew this the whole
time. They knew it the wholetime, But it's just because you saw

(05:00):
and they can't hide it from you. I got a couple theories. First
off, welcome back Dane lash withyou top of the second hour. Did
Democrats just send him out there toexpedite the switcheroo? Did they allow this
to happen to expedite the switcheroo becausehe apparently agreed to this without the DNC.
His campaign apparently did it before theDNC could get involved. This is
but for all of the discussion aboutJoe Biden being an elderly pageant mom and

(05:26):
all this other stuff. Don't underestimatethe pettiness of Joe Biden. I cannot
underscore this enough. He will holdon to that seat until they drag him
out because they these people on theleft and some people on the right,
they think that they've got like acalling on the seat. They think that
it is like their birth rate.That's what they act like. He thinks

(05:47):
that this is his birthright, muchin the same way that Hillary Clinton thought
it was hers. He's mad thatit's it. They went with Hillary before
him, and Hillary was mad thatthey went with Obama before her. Remember
back in two thousand and eight,it was hers for the taking. She
had done what she was supposed todo. She went into Senate, she
did all of that, She wasraising her profile, and they said,

(06:09):
now you need to step aside fromthis newbie out of Illinois. She was
mad. In fact, there wascheating in Texas. There was cheating in
the Democratic Democrat primary in Texas.Oh yes, there is a whole documentary
about it. She was moving heavenand earth. Super delegates were involved all
of it. And then Biden gotpassed over in twenty sixteen. It wasn't

(06:32):
that he didn't want to run.He was told not to run. And
then I think between then and now, obviously he's had some strokes plural.
So these people Gail King's saying this, this is a signal to everybody else
that it's all right to say why. Because Gail King is part of the
inner circle. Gail King is bestfriends with Oprah Winfrey. Oprah Winfrey and
the Obamas are like their thickest thieves. They are. That is part of

(06:56):
his inner circle. They visit eachother and at their respective of states.
In Hawaii, they hang out inMontecito, they're close. For her to
feel free to say this, thatis your sign that there's some shuffling going
on in the back rooms there inthe Democrat Party. That's basically the Obama

(07:16):
camp signaling, Okay, we've doneall we can do. We've done all
we can do. It's Obama's missionright now to not look responsible for Joe
Biden. And remember the currency ofthese guys, but Obama's currency is vanity.
He wants to look like the smartestguy in the room. This Daily

(07:40):
Caller piece and they were citing someAxios stuff too. He even they even
said, yeah, there's a weirdfamily dynamic with them. No one in
that family is going to tell Bidento step down. So now you're left
with the Democrats now are trying toI they have to. They can't say

(08:00):
that it was all cheap fake.I know it's deep fake, but we're
going with Currine Jean Pierre's ruining ofthat phrase. They can't say that it
was all a cheap fake. Weall saw it. So now they have
to be like, wow, it'sso bad. They wanted to act like
it was a one off, alwaysgot a cold, but that was so
dumb. Nobody believes that. Imean they he has a cold, a
cold. I can't believe what I'mabout to say this. Gail King was

(08:22):
not wrong with that sentiment. It'sit's bad, It's so bad. MSNBC
Audio sun By twenty full on losingtheir minds. Listen, he needed to
settle Democrats. Democrats. You knowthey always talk about democrats are bed winders
and democrats are always panicking. Yes, Democrats are always panicking. They're always

(08:43):
scared, right, They're always thinkingthey're gonna lose. Like democrats are are
very pessimistic. This is just whothey are. They're neurotic. But Joe
Biden's job was to reassure them tonight. His job was to calm his party,
to make them feel that, yes, I can do this. I
have four more years in me.I have the ability and the stamina and

(09:03):
the strength to do four more years. He did not do that. He
did the opposite of that. Wow, he made them more panickedy. You
knew this. Don't act like thisis new. Don't act like this is
new. You all knew this,guys, they all knew it. They've
all known it. Remember, they'vebeen shut up from interviewing this guy.
They've been shut up from being atregular press conferences with this guy. My

(09:26):
gosh, the White House Press Corpswas filing a complaint yesterday because they were
disallowed access to cover the debate likethey had normally. Why because they didn't.
Democrats didn't want them to have accessto Biden. Biden couldn't handle it.
He couldn't be down there in thescrum. He couldn't be in the
spin room. Did you see anypictures of Biden in the spin room,
by the way, No, becausethey didn't exist. That's weird. Hell,

(09:50):
you didn't even see any surrogates downthere. It was basically Fox News
and CNN's basement, just wild.It was just so these people. I
got one more for you, Thesepeople doing this audio sound by eleven CNN,

(10:11):
They're just like this is They don'tknow how to come back from this.
Guys, listen, If anybody inAmerica thinks that that was even close
to being an okay debate by JoeBiden, I'm living in a parallel universe.
That was an unmitigated disaster for PresidentBiden from the second he walked out
to the closing statement, the biggestissue for Democrats is abortional and he couldn't

(10:33):
give an answer. He gave ananswer a three. He couldn't even give
a coherent answer on the biggest issuefor Democrats today. I've heard from leading
Democrats across the United States elected governors, congressman of course, texting me and
saying I'm worried I'm gonna lose ifJoe Biden's at the top of the ticket.
Yep. Now, I'll tell youthey're chuffling back channel, and I

(10:58):
was just explaining to your previous JenVan Laar's got a great piece of her
at Red State. She was onwith US months ago, a couple of
months ago about this. I meanthey could, I mean they could,
They could theoretically switch them out,but they would have to be after the
convention. And this is why thisis when they actually changed their bylaws to

(11:18):
make this a reality. They hadto change their bylaws. They did this
back in November for their twenty twentyfour convention, and it would have to
happen after the convention. And that'sthat article what is it, the Article
four section G And it's their conventioncall or call for convention, and under
those bylaws they can fill a vacancyon the national ticket in the event of

(11:39):
death, resignation, or disability.Now, the document, as she noted,
is very vague on the disability details. Who certifies that, who validates
it. It's completely at somebody else'sdiscretion. It's very vague on purpose.
So you'll go through the whole conventionand it'll be Joe Biden. But then
afterwards it from all of the stuffthat I'm hearing. Now, let me

(12:03):
caution you. Let's say that theydo this. Let's say that you have
the convention, which could be apart of the plan all along you're going
through the convention. You have tolet Biden go out there and fail.
You have to go right to theedge of total disaster to show everyone so

(12:24):
you don't have people rebelling in theparty. You don't want funders rebelling.
You don't want your street agents rebelling. You don't want your bundlers and your
operatives and your consultants and your spinmeistersand everyone rebelling. It must look like
they've done everything absolutely possible to satisfyhaving Biden on the ticket, but he
just can't cut it because he justcan't do it physically and mentally. That's

(12:46):
why I think they allowed him todo this debate. This is all part
of the plan. Don't act likethis is Democrats and this is what I
fervently believe. Actually, this isnot democrats not knowing what the hell's going
on. This is not Democrats who, oh my gosh, we over we
overshot. No, this is partof the plan. It's gonna look like

(13:07):
because a miracle loves a comeback story. It's gonna look like they're right on
the cusp of failure and Republicans aregonna feel real, real good, and
they're going to this will a llullthe GOP into a little bit of complacency.
They want you to feel like it'sin the bag. You're gonna see
some crazy polls coming out after thisdebate. Remember that bump is temporary,

(13:31):
and they're gonna go through the conventionand you're gonna have all the drama and
then more and more. It's gonnabe evident it's just bad. After the
convention. I think that there's probablyfifty to fifty percent chance at this point
they will switch him out with GavinNewsom. It's not gonna be anybody but
Gavin. It's not gonna be KamalaHarris, It's not gonna be Gretchen Whitmer.

(13:54):
Look at who has been in thepress lately. Who was the person
that had a very conveniently timed itfrom head of state from China? Who
was it that has had these otherheads of state come visit. Who is
it that that went to Florida andhas been presenting himself as next in line?
But he's very careful about it.It'skyavin Newsom. Listen to this,

(14:16):
he was asked about this. He'splaying this perfect audio. Someun by twenty
three He's playing this perfect Listen tothis. You were out there getting a
chorus of questions about whether Biden shouldstep down. There is a panic that
is set in. Well, thereis panic that has set in among the
people who have watched the debate,who are Democrats, people who are strategists,
and some even inside Democratic campaigns.Do you think it's unfounded? Well,

(14:39):
I think it's unhelpful, and Ithink it's unnecessary. We've got to
go in and got to keep ourheads high. And as they say,
we've got to have the back ofthis president. You don't turn your back
because of one performance. What kindof party does that? Wow, it's
been a masterclass. Wow, frewopoint six million jobs. That's eight times
more than last three weeks presidents combine. The only he's sol Notice what he

(15:01):
didn't say, is it unfounded.It's unhelpful. But he didn't say it
was unfounded. It's just unhelpful.You're gonna let one performance. You got
to have the back of this president. No, that's not how this works.
He's supposed to be for us.But whatever, you got to have
the back of this president. He'susing a little bit of populous rhetoric here.
I mean you don't do this,You don't do that as a party,

(15:22):
or would you do with that?Oh, he's playing it real well,
he's the White Night coming in.Oh no, you don't do it
like that. Audio nun By twentyfour he's asked out right, would you
replace Biden? Listen to this,and some people have speculated that you've been
a pretty good spokesman for mister Trumpor with mister Biden. Would you be
ready to hop in the race shouldhe bow out at any point? It's

(15:43):
a non sequitor. I don't evenunderstand the context of that. This is
the president United States running for reelection. He's our guy, and that's part
of the diversion tactical right to continueto sort of muddy the waters on all
that. And he's not even goingto entertain It's just like this. I
mean, he's not even going toacknowledge the health issues. But notice what
he's doing. He's putting himself outthere in front of the cameras every second

(16:07):
he can, every second he can. He doesn't have to, he's going
out there. And then because he'sdoing that, everyone, the media,
everyone else is assuming, Okay,this is maybe the guy who's and then
they ask him about it. Oh, oh, dary, that's the what
would we be as a party?Gosh dang, look at him. He's
a team player, that Gavin Newsom. It's too transparent by half, but

(16:32):
it's going to work on a lotof those people. That's part of the
plan to keep the people in theDemocrat Party from rebelling, so that when
they do switch to him, theycan go, oh, you mean that
guy who's out there defending Biden.Well that makes sense. I guess you
know, Governor, and he's beenout there doing all that. This is
all by design, you guys,This is all by design. And then

(16:53):
the Democrat Party's going to be energizedbecause there is a switch in the ticket.
You've got to really come together tomake this happen, and then the
honeymoon's going to begin. Oh youhaven't seen a press honeymoon until you see
that ticket switched out. Turbocharging yourmetabolism has never been simpler thanks to the

(18:26):
after finding an enormous trove of fireworksinside. You could have also brought them
to me. Yeah, they founda ton of fireworks inside, and so
they they were commercial grade and theylet it go in a controlled burn.
Okay, so wife, Wife,couldn't you just have removed it? They
said that it was in a garageThey responded to this blaze. They found

(18:48):
a significant amount of devices. Theysaid it was wireder control panel. And
I don't know if they could haveremoved it because it's really close to these
other houses. I was looking atsome of the images of this. I
mean, it's really close to someof these other houses. But they said
that they were able to control it, keep water on it. Gosh,
I hope none of these other housesnearby got smoked. Image. It's kind
of also. Let's see Lacley Countyauthorities accused of a woman of spiking her

(19:12):
husband's mountain dew with round up.She looks like the sort to do it
too. I was looking at hermugshot. Man, she looks like a
crazy lady. All right, thisis levin On, Missouri. This woman,
Michelle, she's forty seven. Idon't believe you. No, this
woman in forty seven, Stop thatshe owns a game shop. Mixed door
to a spa and apparently she's beencharged with first agree to mestic assault and

(19:37):
armed criminal action. She has nobond, but she tried to poison her
husband with roundup. She looks likeshe was nuts. A man was sentenced
to life for killing a friend whohe believed was summoning bigfoot to come eat
him. Larry Sanders of Voklahoma andhis pal Jimmy Knighton were out fishing and
then Sanders killed Knighton, and Sandersbelieved Knighton was so many bigfoot to eat.

(20:00):
He said that he spotted three sasquatchon the riverbank and the only thing
that made sense is that knight Andhad planned for the creatures to kill his
friend. He goes, I actedout of survival mode. So he was
sentenced to spend to speak the restof his life behind bars without the chance
of parole. Wow, that's thatisn't made up thing that he did as
a way to cover his backside afterthe fact, That's what that was.

(20:22):
Let's see, this woman crashed itinto an apartment building, not once,
but twice, and then she setit on fire. Wow, she really
does not like that apartment building.It was in Adams County, forty four
yearld Michelle Lopez was drunk. Shestruck the building and then she tried to
set it on fire by burning envelopeswith the lighter and then set them in
against the occupied building, and theyfound the seven envelopes with burn mark.

(20:44):
She was taken into cuss these peopleare crazy. What's going on? And
apparently some canned coffee is being recalleddue to a possible deadly toxin. Ugh,
the FDA put out the call.It's all of the Snap Chill l
canned coffee. This is what happens. And you don't drink black rifle coffee.
When you drink this commedy swill,you get botulism. That's what happens.

(21:07):
They said that that's the toxin andit's a deadly food poisoning. So
that Snap whatever coffee stick with us. We got a lot more on the
way because we've got one hundred andthirty days till the election. It's gonna
get stupid crazy. First off,you have people that are not just going
to allow Republicans to win, right, it's not they're not gonna allow it.
It's not gonna happen. They don'twant it to happen. That's number

(21:30):
one. Number two, you haveDemocrats that are just not gonna let you
push Kamala aside, and Democrats thatare not gonna let Kamala ascend, and
they're gonna want Gavin. And thenyou got Biden who's not gonna go anywhere
because he's digging his old man feetin. I don't know. It's gonna
be crazy. This is gonna becrazy. I don't. It's a very

(21:52):
un un precedented time, I thinkwith all of this, and I still
again maintain that I don't everything what'sgonna happen is after the convention. That's
when everything's gonna kick off. Afterthe Democrat Convention. Up until then,

(22:15):
it's just gonna be back and forth. It's going to be palace intrigue,
it's gonna be you know, pettiness, et cetera. Up until then.
After that, Katie bar the door. After the Democrat convention, Katie bar
the door. And they're having theconvention is in August, so it's August
nineteenth through the twenty second, anduh, it's gonna be wild. And

(22:40):
they that it'll it'll that will happen. And then afterwards that's some of the
theories are that that's when they'll moveto replace him, and they can't.
They just can't swing over Biden's warchest. And they do have delegates They've
got, they had super delegates.It's a really weird thing the way that
the party is structured, and theytry to change some of it, and

(23:06):
I think we have I think,what is it Steve grab Nicole Wallace talking
about some of this because just likelya quick note, it's the Democrat convention
and their delegates are not like theRepublican delegates. They had super delegates.
It's one of the ways that HillaryClinton was actually able to get the nomination
over Bernie Sanders, because Bernie Sandersactually had more pledges than Hillary Clinton did,

(23:30):
but Hillary Clinton had more super delegates, and super delegates can actually swing
it one way or the other.I mean, it's total chaos. They
did change some other things in theirbylaws after that because there was such outrage
I when because a lot of peoplefelt that Sanders was robbed, which he
was, to be honest, butlisten to this. This is Wallace talking

(23:51):
in like fifty seconds that would whatthat looks like. Listen, that's a
fantasy saying that's you know, youeither need to write the ship or do
the thing that's not going to happen, which is to replace him on the
ticket. I mean, I don'tthink that's an option. The fact that
people are talking about it if it'snot an option, only seeks to further
weaken the perception the weak in thestanding of friend Biden. The question is

(24:15):
whether you're hearing that it is anoption, that there is some vile I
mean, I spoke to an electionlawyer. It is legal. And the
way it happens is Joe Biden releaseshis delegates ahead of the convention, and
you can't do it on the firstvote, but I think on the second
vote they can go somewhere else.So it is legal, It is possible,
and I think when people say won'thappen, it's because they think Joe

(24:37):
Biden would never do it for thereasons Joy already articulated. He's the only
person who beat Trump, and hebelieves, and he has some reason to
believe this, that he's the onlyone who can and to give. So
you have like about fifteen percent ofthe delegates that are in the DNC that
are super delegates, and they don'thave to hold they're like automatically seated,
and they don't have to they don'tare not held to the same restrictions that

(25:02):
regular pledged delegates are held to whichthey're held. So and Biden already has
excuse me, I'm just looking upsome of my notes. Biden already has
basically ninety nine percent of the pledgedelegates anyway, So I don't even think
even if you did the super delegatestuff, I don't think that that matters.
And I'm bringing this up just incase, you know, people think,

(25:25):
well, there's still a chance withthe delegates they have for the DNC,
you it's like one nine hundred andseven one thousand, nine hundred and
seventy six delegates that you have tohave in order to get the nomination.
Biden has like over three thousand,eight hundred, So it's done the other

(25:47):
candidates combined with seven combined seven withanother thirty six un committed, So he
controls like ninety nine percent of thedelegates. And then you have the super
delegates and that there's only seven hundredand thirty nine of those. Now the
seven one hundred and thirty nine ofthose, again, it's like fifteen percent.
The fact that he has so manypledged delegates already, and the super
delegates they don't have to be pledged, right, it's automatic seeding. They

(26:08):
don't have to be pledged. Sothat's a different thing. That's a again
going back to the Hillary Clinton BernieSanders thing. They tip the scales for
Clinton over Sanders. So when youlook at Biden having pledged, and this
means they're locked up three thousand,eight hundred and ninety four delegates. Even
if you had seven hundred and thirtynine super delegates that wanted to switch it
up, that's nothing. That's adrop in the bucket. He already has

(26:30):
all this locked up. So evenif they were to vote, and they
can only vote I think the secondballot, even if they were going to
vote against him and oust him,it's not it's inconsequential because he's already got
pledged delegates locked up. So ifhe's if he refuses to leave, then
they can't do anything until after theconvention. Now, after the convention,

(26:56):
I I don't know how they're goingto make that work. Someone had said,
pull this up because I noted this. Someone was saying that they thought
Jill Biden was the most important personin politics right now, and I want
to I don't know who to properlyattribute that to, because it was something
I saw flying by and I waslike, that's actually a good point.
And it's a good point because Ithink she's the only person that could actually

(27:17):
get in his head and tell himit's time to step back. And she's
not going to do it because sheenjoys being first Lady. She likes the
accolades that come with that. Sheknew. Look, this woman, don't
think that she doesn't she knows exactlywhat she's doing. This is the woman
who let him sacrifice his family toseek public office because she liked all the
stuff that came with being the manmarried to the person who has that title.

(27:41):
I mean, she likes it.So I I don't know. He's
not going to withdraw. It's notgoing to happen. Do you remember that
when back in nineteen sixty eight,and there was a Time magazine piece that
talked about in sixty eight LBJ hewas the front he was the incumbent,
He was the front runner for thenomination for the Democrat Party. He said

(28:06):
that he's not going to seek oraccept the party's nomination, and that came
because he was about to lose NewHampshire to Eugene McCarthy. And then you
had the VP who was nominated andthen he ended up losing to Nixon.
That was her Hubert Humphrey, whoended up losing to Richard Nixon. And
so, and that was after RFKhe lost to Nixon. After that was

(28:26):
the same campaign season that RFK wasshot and killed in Los Angeles. And
so, uh, that's the onlytime. And that was a huge shock
at the time because he was itwasn't gonna. It wasn't gonna. He's
read the tea leaves, so tospeak. Now, remember there's the virtual
nomination that they're doing. This isone of the things that the Biden Harris

(28:47):
people were doing ahead of time tokind of lock everything up they had.
Uh, this is from properly tu, this is from Reuters. Remember,
they were trying to bypass the Ohiolot because they the Democrat Party was messing
up stuff in Ohio. They werethey wanted to do a because they have
a scheduled nomination that kicks off theirChicago convention that begins on August nineteenth,

(29:08):
and then they wanted to do avirtual nomination, so they could set all
the delegates up to get going onthis, you know, pretty much immediately,
so he would have all of thethree eight hundred some oid delegates that
are pledged to him to be withhim on the first round. So they
long story short, the Democrat bylawsgoverning how they replace a candidate due to

(29:33):
a disability, that is what wouldcome into play in order to replace him,
and it's not going to happen untilafter the convention, and then it
comes down to because the laws arevague on this. Jennifer Van Lauer has
a piece specifically on this bylaw changeat Red State and she notes that there's
not a lot that gets into whatthe disability is, what it could be,
who makes that certification, who doesall that, because they don't have

(29:56):
it specified. And they just changethat in November. November of last year,
that's when they just changed it,and they made it very non specific,
very interesting. So everything this isall going to be palace intrigue.
You're going to see a lot ofGavin Newsom. I think that you're going

(30:18):
to see more Kamala Harris too,coming up in the weeks to come,
don't you think it's okay. Ithink that they're going to try to put
her out there her people to makethe case that she's got to stay.
And she's also the only one,per finance log, campaign finance lot,
that can take Joe Biden's campaign warchest should he get out of office.

(30:41):
He's he's the only only one thatcan do that if he gets out of
if he leaves, if he decideshe's not going to accept the nomination,
or he's not going to go,So she was the only one who could
take it. I don't know whatthey would have to do to change that
in order for Newsom to do it. So we actually may have to have
Jennifer on next week to maybe specificallyask her about that, because that's one

(31:03):
thing that I have not seen andI don't think anybody has an answer on,
because that I think requires a changein campaign finance law. So that
means you're looking at Congress what butthen again to money it up more,
when have they ever followed the law? Guys? When did they ever followed
law? Million dollar question? Thanksfor tuning in to today's edition of Dana
