Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Guy in Orlando, man, have he just waited a little bit, maybe signed up with the federal government? Maybe he can do this we're living and be paid for it instead of winding up in jail. Florida Man posing as an immigration officer at an Orlando apartment complex. It was checking documents, checking the residency if they weren't in the country illegally. Florida man arrested Monday pretending to be a Homeland Security officer,

trying to make sure that illegals weren't at the apartment complex. 47-year-old Steve Donovan, his name, was booked into county jail. A guy working at the apartment complex and saying that Mr. Donovan riding a bicycle, that was the first tip, right? Normally I don't see immigration ICE officials riding around in, bicycle, like, you can just hear the little bell. Rink, rink, rink, rink, a little bell. And he's, he took the individual to an apartment and it flashed a gun.

So look at my jacket. I got a gun in here. And then the guy who worked at the apartment complex called police. And police showed up. And this guy showed some Department of Agriculture identification. I'm like, anyway, he's going to cool his heels. And Joe, if he wanted to be part of the solution, then they're hiring big time. Over an immigration comes from the enforcement and Border Patrol and DHS.

He could have a job, but I suspect if he did something like this, he might not have a very clean record. With the economy, how many money is the U.S. going to put into the fund that is being created today? And how does this provide long-term security for Ukraine? Well, we don't know exactly how much because we're going to be putting some money in a fund that we're going to get from the Roer Earth that we're going to be taking and sharing in terms of revenue. So it's going to be a lot of money we'll be made from the sale and from the use of Roar Earth. Earth. And as you know, our country doesn't have much raw earth. We have a lot of oil and gas, but we don't have a lot of the raw earth. And what we do have is protected by the environmentalists,

but that can be unprotected, but still it's not very much. They have among the best in the world in terms of raw, so we're going to be using that take in it, using it for all of the things we do, including AI and including weapons and the military and it's, and it's, we're It's really going to very much satisfy our needs. Okay. That's the president just moments back, sitting down with Voldemir Zelensky from Ukraine right next to him. And I understand also Marco Rubio, Marco was there in J.D. Vance. And there was some type of heated exchange.

I think Voldemir tried to grab the mic and try to leave the discussion on foreign policy or how this was going to go down. And I know Steve's working on getting that audience. So you stick around. And we're going to share that audio with you here in just a little bit. On what the print – oh, by the way, this is the Dana show. I'm Sergio Sanchez, and we're broadcasting the Dana show. I'm filling in for Dana today from her Southern Command here in the Rio Grande Valley at Texas Star Base, USA.

Which is going to be a real town, by the way. Elon Musk was trying to incorporate Star Base into like a real town with Zipcote and Mayor and Alderman and all that. So on the issue of all these minerals that – they keep saying, okay, The US gets minerals and is able to develop the minerals in Ukraine and extract that? Great. I think I'm so glad that we got a real businessman, a real negotiator in the White House, that is negotiating on your behalf for the money that you sent and your kids sent and your grandkids sent because after all this also deficit spending, right?

I mean, you're talking about taxation with representation. Your kids and grandkids have to pay the T bills, the debt. All these hundreds of billions of dollars and resources. sent to Ukraine. It was a gift. Like, dude, Biden, Congress, Pentagon, that's not your money. We worked for that. Our kids are going to have to work for that because it's all deficit spending. ST bill. So it's good to get, negotiate, how to pay all that bag. So for all these reporters that are screaming and concerned that, where's security, guaranteed security, where's the guarantee of security, bur? And they all repeat.

the same thing. You know what the guarantee of security is that we have a business agreement, a business arrangement with the folks from Ukraine to provide them a revenue source and provide us a compensation source for them to get bullets and get rifles and bombs that they need to protect themselves. If Ukraine doesn't exist, we don't get none of that, right? There's your security guarantee. We provide security for our business partner. We want to to make sure that we collect on the hundreds of billions of dollars that have been sent so far. So stay tuned for that audio. That's an interesting audio from, oh, you got it already Steve. Here's how it went. I think that Voldemir Zelensky was trying to hijack

the conversation. I think they tackled him on this one. Go ahead, Steve. I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. Yes, but he, if you are not strong. Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media. Right now you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president for trying to bring it into this conflict. Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have? I have been to come once.

I've actually watched and seen the stories and I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President. Do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military? Do you think that it's respectful? I will answer. To come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country. A lot of questions.

Let's start from the beginning. First of all, during the war, everybody has problems. Even you, but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. God bless. You don't know that. God bless. You don't know. Don't tell us what we're going to feel.

We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. I'm not telling you. Because you're in no position to dictate that. Remember this. You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good. We're going to feel very good and very strong.

You're right now not in a very good position. You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position. And he happens to be right about it. From the very beginning of the war, Mr. Brahe. You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards. I'm not playing cards. Right now you don't.

I'm very serious, Mr. President. You're playing cards. You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War III. You're gambling with World War III. I don't mean, wow, this guy is bullheaded. Oh, Voldemir Zelensky, that dude is real bullheaded. My goodness.

Man, whatever agreement comes out today, I don't know if it's going to be worth the ink or the paper that it's written on. So that's just moments back, Waldemar Zelensky, arguing like strong man positioning himself in front of J.D. Vance, in front of the president. Like, what do you mean that you're going to feel this influence in the future? That's some type of threat. And this is where the word dictator applies.

A little dictator getting all this bravado in him. But nothing is short for it. Look, all credit to the Ukrainian people. the courageous men who went to the front line, Vladimir Zelensky, gathering generals and leadership to fight Vladimir Putin. If true from the very beginning, if Vladimir Putin had gone in there in like in one week or two weeks, I suppose if all the predictions had come true,

Ukraine would be nothing but an extension of Mother Russia, right? and be just a big old territory with lots of natural resources and harbors. But that's not the case. Voldemirnoissellinsky, he gathered the troops. They nationalized, and there they go. The Russians have suffered mightily. The Russians, they've been reduced. They've been taken down several notches.

The great world superpower that was, what we suspected, was the Russian army. It turned out to be, what, nothing but a paper bear, thanks to. the Ukrainian forces, thanks to, Waldemar and Zelensky, maybe that's why he feels all this bravado is that he was able to give Vladimir Putin and the Russians a bloody nose.

But today is supposed to be a day to move us a big step forward. Don't you think. Big step forward. They're getting an agreement. Okay, you've got the resources. We've given you billions of dollars as a gift, and that was wrong. That was not Washington's money to give, to give.

gift to Ukraine. The Europeans, the Europeans do have some skin in this. They have provided billions of euros, billions of dollars as well, but not enough in my opinion. It was, in my opinion, it was supposed to be Europe. There was supposed to pony up all the security money for this. Because it's their backyard. I know that now, by, I think, the last I saw by a six to four ratio, the Europeans are providing more in financial support and military support, providing planes and other things, good, six to four ratio. From the very beginning, it should have been nine to one. Don't you think? This is their backyard. This is Europe.

Ukraine is a part of Europe. Europe gets invaded, not part of NATO. It doesn't trip the hair thin wire, the trip wire, to start a NATO engagement against Russia. But it's the Europeans that should have woken up from the very beginning. This is what we get from decades and decades and decades. Post-World War II mindset, where it's the United States of America that, that must somehow must continue to fund all these air bases and all these military bases. No, sir, at what point are these people going to provide for their own security? It's like your granddaddy and great granddaddy, not only for some of you all, your great

granddaddy or granddaddy fought in World War II to liberate Europe, they shed you. You shed your family blood on the beaches of Normandy and the fields of Germany and the fields of France. precious blood was spilled in Europe to save their sorry butts. Yes, we set up the security arrangements to rebuild Europe. Did any of that get paid back? No, I don't think so, right? The Marshall Plan. I don't think it was a law, correct me if I'm wrong. Sergio at KURV.com.

So much has been gifted through generations by this country, and the ingrates in Europe still have the goal of the audacity. To say, all the U.S. needs to take the lead. Why? Why can't you take the leave? It is your neighborhood. You push back against Vladimir. Putin, you show them your resolve to fund, to weaponize Ukraine, to fight back, to join in the battlefields if necessary, without it being some NATO engagement, show Vladimir Putin that

you're willing to push back. The only reason he pushes on you is because he knows you're going to fold like a cheap tent in Europe. My goodness, the mindset of these people. Thank God we have President Trump at the White House saying, yo, Voldemir, you're in no position to negotiate, son. Now, God bless you. This is my words.

God bless you for fighting valiantly all the thousands of Ukrainian souls, brave young men and old men, men of all ages going to the front lines, to try to save Ukraine from Russia. God bless you for that. I tell you what, I believe, Wildemir Zelensky doesn't take this deal and does start paying back the U.S. and buying more weapons from the U.S. With the God-given natural resources that the previous administration, this nincompoop, Joe Biden,

and his minions never thought, never even considered offering to Ukraine. Hey, you know how Russia is, you know, Russia, Vladimir Putin, he's selling oil, you know, against what we did, the sanctions and all that. He's selling to Andy and China, who would make billions of dollars selling all that, buying all the weapons, all the bombs that he needs.

Well, you've got some natural resources. How about you buy the weapons? Because God has given you lots of nice natural resources. In essence, that's what it is. We're not shaking down Ukraine for nothing. We're the ones who got rod. We're the ones that got shaken down to the tune of billions of dollars that our children and grandkids have to pay.

Thank God for Donald Trump. He's telling him how it is. And I tell you what, if the Ukrainians and Voldemans are listening, do not take up this deal and actually go through with it and pay up and pony up. and if the Europeans don't stand up and protect their neighborhood, that's it. I've, as beaten up as the Russian bear is. Man, he can call Pyongyang get in, how many 100,000, 200,000 meat puppets from North Korea, these poor souls, these slaves from North Korea, put them out there as chum so that his Russian forces

can take the rest of Ukraine. Oh my goodness. That's what we're dealing with right now. All right, as we move, our partners help bring you. the program. It's our friends over at Caltech, the PR 57. It's new from, kind of new from Caltech. They launched it actually just earlier this year. So it's new from Caltech. It's a 5-7. It's the lightest 5-7 that is in existence. It's 40% lighter than the next lightest 5-7. And they are able to do this because of two reasons. They have an innovative rotary barrel that makes it the lightest,

and then they also have a unique top-loading design. So you're not using a magazine. You're using stripper clips. That gives it a literally, it has a slimmer carry profile and a 20 plus one capacity as a result. Super lightweight. It's actually something ladies that, this is actually a 5-7 you can carry. And the MSRP is only 399. So guys and ladies, it's great for everybody. And

you can, this was, I think, one of the first ones that came out of their new Wyoming expansion facility too, because Keltex is located in Florida. First of its kind, Caltech PR-57, Rotary Barrel Pistol, Chamberton 5-7, visit Keltekweapons.com to learn more innovation performance. Keltec is KELTECWeapons.com. Let's check some headlines.

Go ahead, Steve. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. An American company picking back up the research for Malaysia Airline Flight 370, more than a decade after it disappeared. 239 lives lost when they went off radar March of 2014. Malaysian government has given approval to a Texas-based company to continue the search in an area that was not.

not search very well, they say. Another commercial lunar lander on its way to the moon, Athena, built by intuitive machines, launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon rocket Wednesday evening from Cape Kennedy. It's the company's second lunar lander. Odysseus touchdown near the moon's South Pole region. About a year ago, Athena is set to land March 6, and there's another one. Blue Ghost Lander from Firefly Aerospace is scheduled to touchdown early Sunday. one of these things is showing images from the moon back at Earth.

Just beautiful stuff you can see online. Alex Ovechkin, I hope I said that right, gang. I just watched NHL from a distance. I like cocking, who got me wrong, but I'm including this because there's big news. Alex Ovechkin is catching up to the great one, Gwen Gretzky. And Gretzky's all-time record, 894. goals. So Ovechkin, with the Washington and Capitals, superstar, is only 12

goals behind trying to catch up to Wayne Gretzzi. So I guess the title, the great one, will now be Ovechkin. If he's supposed to, when he passes, Wayne Gretzky, right? It should happen. Let's see here. The right of said it should happen early April. At this pace, it should happen early April. And a question for my friend, producer, Steve.

where will uranus be tonight? It's actually going to be between Saturn and Neptune. Yeah, Uranus, along with Jupiter and Venus and Mercury and Mars. Yeah, quite the show tonight, seven planets you'll be able to see right after sundown. This is the Dana show, reporting from South Texas.

Jeffrey Epstein did act as an informant to the FBI. Is the Bureau embarrassed? Is the Bureau embarrassed that they let hundreds of young victims down? This was all happening right under everyone's noses.

Epstein was probably an intelligence asset, rumored to be working with the Israelis, maybe this country, probably other countries. Was he a double agent? He had dirt on everyone and an act for making cash. And he's dead. So the government has no one to protect. Jesse Waters, he recognized that voice. Hey, welcome to the Dana Show.

I'm Sergio Sanchez from the land of Star Base, Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, deep south Texas. That's right. We're on the border. This is the Southern Command of the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez, an honor that you join us, and on that big nothing burger from yesterday. So far, right? Because I'm looking for updates.

I got TVs on here in the studio here at K-U-R-V, Dana Show Faithwell Faithway. I'm looking for somebody to come up to the podium saying, hey, we got the other 1,800 pages. You know, there were 200 that we released. We had, you know, 18-00 or more. I'm kind of hoping for that follow-up, the Schwatt-Ding from Vox and Dun-D-D-D-D-D-D-D,

like everybody was breaking in. We got news coverage. Names, you know, accomplices with Jeffrey Epstein and, you know, the child molestrous, child rapist, the human traffickers. Yes, very powerful people. We've seen pictures of them. Titans of Hollywood, Titans of Industry, high tech, politicians, you name it, all these people with Jeffrey Epstein. And I think you still want to know. I want to know.

I'm not giving up on this. And I would hope that people who write op-eds and talk radio hosts that have daily national platforms on a regular basis, even in the White House press pool, go back to the press chief over the White House. And let's keep pressing. Let's keep asking. Is that – seriously, is that it? All this build-up, all this hype? Look, as all things, Donald Trump, I think you have learned, I have learned – there's an initial –

story to any controversy or any allegation with Donald Trump, if you have not learned to wait, then you haven't learned a thing. So that's where I am at right now. I do have, man, I do have a lot of questions like I know you do as well. And there's nothing burger Jeffrey Epstein thing that came out yesterday. I'm waiting for some more. There was supposed to be some deadline this morning. We had Pam Bondi, the attorney general, saying, okay, I want everything on my desk by 8 o'clock Eastern, 7 o'clock in my time here, Central Time. I want all these files from New York FBI offices, the Southern District FBI offices, New York.

Hello, Cash. Yo, Cash. Can you go in there, like, make a trip to Southern New York and say, hey, let's start turning open up all the files, all the desks, let's start looking at all the shredder. Let's go in there and check everything. That's what I want. I don't know about you, but I think you being like-minded,

listening to the Danish show, listening to Conservative Talk Radio, I think you and I are probably on the same page. I want a forceful hand, much like, you know, they did it to Donald Trump, they go in there with cameras turned on, they tip the media, they go through Melania's drawer, you know, looking for federal documents. Well, I want those documents. I want those investigatory documents on Jeffrey Epstein. Maybe as you heard at the beginning of this program, yeah, Jesse Waters saying, well,

Maybe he was a double agent and he had dirt on everybody and now they're discovering that they got and this is what I got from what Jesse was saying That maybe you need to you need to truly cover up everything because he was double agent Maybe he was working for Israel or something I I don't know I don't care A flip I don't care I want to know it was promised to me we've been waiting all this time For the we want to expose who the child rapist child molestrous child molestrous accomplices of Jeffrey Epstein are I don't care If their names are CEOs or former CEOs of big tech firms and their politicians and their Hollywood Times, oh, you just love, you know, this movie star from that cartoon and this favorite movie star from it. I don't care. I want to know.

This is a big Nuthenburg yesterday. I don't want to let it go. And I don't think you should let it go. And I think we need to demand from, I don't know, there's probably no power in calling your congressman or your senator. but if you do engage them in one-on-one conversations, when you go out there to those town hall meetings that some of you have been attending, yeah, get out and get in their face, say, hey, this is unacceptable.

You need to do your part as a representative as a senator to get word back to FBI, get word back to the Attorney General, get back to the Justice Department saying, we want that, we were promised those names. There was so much excitement, so much buildup, that there was more information, that the tales of this would make your stomach turn.

The details of all this would just make you sick. There was all these scandalous information that needed to be revealed to the American people. Well, there's a vault. I'm looking at the cable right now. There's Voldemar Zelensky walking indoors after he decided to finally bend the knee to Donald Trump and decided to pay us back, our nation back, our kids back, when it comes to some of the natural resources in Ukraine.

But we need answers to this. Don't let it go. demand answer. I know calls to Congress or work, but we got to do something. This cannot be the, you cannot let this disappear with other headlines. I refuse to allow it. It is Friday. We've got the weekend in front of us next Monday. We're not going to pick this up. Whatever pages we're missing. Or at the very least, to ask President Trump, and this would be something for the press pool, to ask President or the spokesperson is 11. Is President Trump going to make a statement related to the nothing? Berger of this Epstein Files because we were expecting to hear scandalous information,

hear familiar names, who were the accomplices in little girl rape, child rape. We need to know these things. Those individuals either need to be prosecuted or they just need to disappear forever. Turn in the keys to their executive bathroom with their CEO office and whatever corporation bank they work at or just retire from whatever it is. or politics, you need to leave, you gotta go. I wish you would be prosecuted for child rape. But American,

we need, to keep this out there as one big fat question mark is a cancer. Because if this is just me, and I know that we suffer from ADD as a nation, you know, here comes another headline, squirrel, there you go, you start chasing it and you forget about the main issue, the main problem.

This was promised to us. But this, I do believe this is a stain on the presidency, potentially on the presidency. But again, I'll take a step back, like I was telling just a couple of minutes back, hang on. Wait. Had a nothing burger yesterday. Got Pam Bondi out there, the Attorney General, saying, well, I'm going to demand from the Southern District Office, New York, FBI office. I want the rest of the documents. I want Cash Patel go out there and get them.

Yeah, I do too. how about you, hey, Cash, why don't you call Fox News when you actually go to the FBI office, even so they can see play-by-play coverage of what's going on and you're demanding and busting heads or going through the shredders, whatever you need to do. Certain individuals sent on this information that had an opportunity for cover it, they had it for way too long. It is obvious to everybody.

My big question of the day is the Attorney General who told us, like two weeks ago, it was on her desk. The information was on her desk. And I guess they had the time to put together a little folder with some of the repeat information that was non-sexy. It was already released and just gave it out there for people to consume online and information. They revealed nothing new yesterday. Nothing that allows us a chance right now to expose certain leadership. That neither need to be prosecuted need to go away. We need those answers. I mean, I put this issue, which, by the way, so far so good with the Trump administration. Promises made, promises cap.

We got tax legislation moving. Somewhat of what was promised. They still got time to go back and iron out the promises made related to tax cuts in our nation. But on border security, promises made promises cap. Now, everybody's fearful of crossing the U.S. Mexican border, and that's good. We've yet to see movement on energy issues, liquefied natural gas exports, production of oil. That's going to take time to ramp up. It's also going to take time to work with issues related to inflation, for example,

looking at this story on egg prices. And the approach by the USDA on how to grow little baby chicks, oh, little precious little baby chicks, grow them until, you know, full-sized chickens, which will take about four or five months, and then you start producing those eggs, and then we're about, so T-minus six months away from lower egg prices. But as important as, this is just me, and I know it doesn't affect the price of eggs. I know it doesn't do anything when it comes to border security or energy or inflation, anything like that.

But this is yet another example how criminals, rats, swamp creatures, the truly powerful, rich, and the politicians who on political salaries wind up becoming multimillioners super rich. No, this is the swamp. This is a promise made to us that a major swamp creature and his accomplices would be taken down. And as I said, if you're not going to take down those accomplices and charge them with the crimes, then at the very least expose them for public shame and for the public to tar and feather the, them, criticize them to the point where they've got to go. We're board of directors

where all these folks in committees, they demand the resignation of their top chiefs of industry and tech and wherever they may come from. We want that list. I speak for you and say, I want that list. I hope this is

not the end of it. I'm still looking at the cables wake of any breaking news on the Epstein stuff. Do not, do not let it go.
