No, I don't care with that. Judges think as far as this case, we're going to continue to arrest public safety threats and national security threats. We're going to continue to deport him from the United States. I understand this case is in litigation through the Alien Enemies Act and we'll abide by the court order as litigated. But my quote was, despite what he thinks, we're going to keep targeting the worst of the worst, which we've been doing since day one in deporting from the United States. Well, and they should, and I hope that continues. My whole concern about all of this is that, you know, we cheer whenever we hear these good news stories, whenever we hear of, you know, actual law and order, whenever we hear of, you know, bad guys being deported and things of that nature. But what bothers me is that, I mean, I know we just went through an election guys, but I need to remind everyone that 2028 isn't that far away. And, you know, a result of that without any meaningful permanence, all of this is going to go away. Like, I mean, everything, even, you know, everything with regard to deportation, the Flores Agreement, all of that stuff is going to go away.

And, you know, we, without, again, without any permanence of it, I'm not quite sure what the recourse is. And I, you know, Congress is, you know, right now it's like a, it's a slow week because Congress is out. But I am just like wondering when, when is it going to happen? When are we going to get some of that? Because we're all a little nervous. Well, I mean, we're all a little nervous. I don't, I don't see enough meaningful action coming out of Congress. And I think it's good to celebrate these, these wins.

But are they going to be wins if they can be undone so quickly? I mean, are we going to be cheering when, you know, just heaven forbid, we get somebody like a Gavin Newsom in office and we watch all of this stuff come undone, everything? I mean, that's sort of, that's just, I don't know, I see this stuff and I love Tom Holman. Don't get me wrong. But at the same time, you know, he's only able to do exactly what he's empowered to do by the voter, not even so. I mean, because it's not, if it was just the president, you know, I mean, you wouldn't have the big deal of Congress. But, you know, we, I think he's great. But we need more.

We need to see Congress do more. And I don't know what that looks like when they come back this week because it seems, you know, and there's a lot of stuff that's been done. But I don't know. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this first hour on Monday. Congress comes back later this week. And then we're going to, you know, because then we got, we have recess coming up.

And then when they all go back, I think is when, you know, all of the, the, I wanted to say, the fit would hit the shan, so to speak, came. And so that's, yeah, that's going to be a major. So anyway, welcome. We're going to get into all of this. We're going to look at what to expect. Some of the latest. We also have some culture. You know, for those of you who like to at least, you know, go to movies and live a normal life and do all of that stuff.

We're going to get all that for you as well. And just it's kind of a weird slow Monday, but that doesn't mean that there is an absence of anything to be aware of because we also, we have deportations ongoing. We also have some judicial fights as it pertains to the immigration orders for the president. You have a number, and we've been following it over at chapter and verse if you are a subscriber over to the newsletter because POTUS is now, it's. So weird and kind of ironic that he's really established by the judicial reshaping that he had the the second half of his first term. And now he's at war with a lot of these activist judges that have been trying to stop implementation of almost pretty much literally everything. And this is kind of also the downside of not going through Congress and having EOs, these executive orders.

So the fights that he is having with these activist judges and then even with our own Supreme Court as well because POTUS wants SCOTUS to immediately to step in and stop the lawfare that's coming from a lot of these judges.

And by the time that it works its way through the system, it's kind of, you know, fait accompli. It's sort of done. I, you know, we'll get into that. that. So he's, the POTUS had put out on truth social, his platform, demanding that Supreme Court

go after some of these lawless judges, like the Chuckins, like, like the, like these judges that we've seen that have a lot of these conflicting, you know, a lot of the stuff that they do conflicts with the cases that they're adjudicating. Let's just put it that way. And I really don't see, especially some of these judges that are demanding that he spend taxpayer dollars. That's not their purview. It's wild that it's allowed to go this long, and it is going to take SCOTUS, and it is going to, in order probably to step in with some of this. He wants to stop these nationwide injunctions. He's specifically talking about SCOTUS at this point with Justice Roberts, wanting him to get involved and stop a lot of the lawfare with us. But I don't know that that's

going to happen. I think that that SCOTUS has always proven to be pretty hands off with regard to with regards to those issues. So we're going to follow that. We've got more audio for you too as well. In addition to this, now let's look at Democrats, because Democrats have been splitting into different factions, and you have Bernie and AOC going on their summer concert series

over just like, I guess what, in the next couple of weeks. I thought we did this already. Can we play audio sound bite five? Because I swear we lived through this, not just a little over 10 years ago. Listen. And everybody knows there is something wrong when we are the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all people.

So Alexandria and I and others are going to work with you to finally do what should have been done decades ago, pass a Medicare for all single payer program. But didn't we kind of basically do that? And it hasn't improved it. Single payer is heinous. Just look at Canadian health care. It's just I know Canadian so I can say this with, most confidence. Every single person that I know who's ever moved from Canada or currently

lives in Canada hates Canada's health care system. They have single payer. It's a disaster. We took a massive scoge towards that with Obamacare, and it's been an absolute disaster. I know I wasn't able to keep my doctors. I wasn't able to keep a single one of my doctors. I had to switch everything. And that included a pediatric specialist that was really hard for us to find in the beginning. And that was a really scary time because we had to, we had to like move heaven and earth to find another that was covered by Obamacare. Obamacare made it over it more than doubled. Our family's health care costs more than doubled. That is not even an exaggeration. If anything, I'm probably downplaying it.

So all these people that go out there and they're like, oh, I love Obamacare. then you clearly haven't actually experienced it or had to rely upon it because it's disastrous. We had great health care before. Our health care, I mean, now, Obamacare's ruined everything

and they want to make it worse. They want to make it worse. I swear, Kane, if we have to go back to litigating this whole subject again like we did back in 2010, I'm going to jump off my roof and take everybody with me.

Not going to happen. But they're trying to find some cause that Democrats need a rally. cause. They can't just, their cause just can't be good government or good legislation. They, they need a banner to, to fight under. They need a boogeyman and a banner. That's what they need. And I, for them to push this because they're, they're traveling around the country, they're going to be doing these, like, socialist events. I don't, I don't think that Democrats have the ability to do this yet. But in

2028, as bad as it is for Democrats now, they could bounce back in 2028, and they could bounce back because Republicans let them. That's the threat. That's the real threat. We also have, so with regards to, let's see, audio sound bite six. I found this interesting too, because this put into context with what Newsom has been promoting on his podcast. He also came out like he was against the word Latinx. how do you even say that? Latinx? I mean, it's basically that. He always said it as Latinx. I mean, you're just adding a letter on it. It's weird. But he

now Bernie Sanders, listen to this. Listen to what Bernie Sanders is saying here. This is audio sound like 6. Is there anything that you think Trump has done right? Yeah. I mean, I think cracking down on fentanyl, making sure our borders are stronger. look, nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate.

But yet it's literally what you guys have campaigned on. Wait, are we now going to pretend that they've been following the differentiation between legal and illegal immigrants this entire time? Because we all know they haven't. I'm curious. He sounds kind of moderate. And he sounds kind of moderate because he's trying to be moderate. He is at least reading the tea leaves on all of this.

And he's noting, hmm, look at this. these Democrats that are super far left aren't going to be successful, maybe only in super blue areas, but I've got it. He's, he is posturing himself for a swing to the middle for Democrats, but that's only going to be for elections. I have to caution everybody on that. That's only going to be for elections. But that's interesting that you have Newsom, who is the heir apparent to party leadership. And then you have Bernie Sanders who will, Bernie Sanders will have to, come in to undo the damage that Newsom is doing by moving to the left. He's going to lose a lot of the Bernie bros and the socialist. And so Bernie Sanders is going to have to come in and massage that.

That's what I think they're setting up. From independent to Democrat? Yeah. Wow. I think that he would get behind somebody like Newsom. I'm telling you, you can never underestimate these people. They're planning it for 2028. And if you if you just think about what would I do if I was if I was leading that party and I had to rebuild that party. That's exactly what they're going to be doing. That's what they're doing right now. They're they're preparing and Republicans meanwhile, they have the world on a string. And what are they doing? I would love to know. Tim Walts is even, and he's walking back his remarks on Tesla. So this all goes through, this all goes together. He's saying, well, he was totally joking. That's what he said. He's totally joking when he was celebrating a Tesla stock.

going down. And of course, that's because you had some super sleuths come out there and say, isn't some of your pension plan? Don't you own Tesla stock? Feels like you own Tesla stock. Listen to this. Audio Soundbite 19. He says he was joking now, guys. This guy bugs me in a way that is probably unhealthy. And, um, but, but I, I have to be careful about being a smart ass. I was making a joke. These people have no sense of humor. They are the most literal people, most literal people. But my point was, you weren't saying that it was a joke. The fact that you have to explain it. I mean, yeah, he's got a lot of shares of Tesla in his pension plan. So interesting stuff. Bill Maligian found

that. We have a lot more on the way as we roll towards headlines. We also have coming up, Stephen Yates, and our good friend Glenn Jacobson, aka WWEs Kane, because he's challenged Tim Walt to a match. I've asked to referee and I'm going to say that Mayor Jacob said that that's going to happen that he's down for that. I am all for this match. So we're going to talk to him coming up as well. Pre-born

a great organization that helps women exactly where they are and gets them the support that they need. But what I love, because they provide ultrasound. So when you have a mother who's considering whether or not she's choosing life, pre-born

is there. They partner with all of these clinics all around the country in some of the regions that have the highest number of abortions and they offer a woman an ultrasound to hear her child's heartbeat and when that happens studies have shown that a baby's chance at life doubles when this takes place and that's amazing that's just $28.28 provides an ultrasound 140 can rescue five babies your gift when you donate to preborn and by the way they have a four-star charity rating so you can give with confidence when you you when you donate to preborn, you are making those moments possible, the sound of life. When you give monthly, you receive stories and pictures of the lives that you help to protect.

Your generosity changes, I mean, literally changes futures, literally. And they stand as the gospel leader of the pro-life movement. Last year alone, over 67,000 babies they saved from abortion with ultrasounds. And almost 9,000 women gave their hearts to Christ. They've got, like I said, a four-star charity rating. All gifts are tax deductible. and if you have the means, again, $28.1 ultrasound, you can say babies all week with a larger gift, $5,000. That sponsors their network for 24 hours. You can rescue 200 babies that way.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. All right, this is sad. Mia Love has passed away. She was battling cancer. 49 years old out of Utah. She was the first black Republican woman in Congress back in 2014. and this was out of the state of Utah.

And 49 years old, according to her family, she passed away peacefully. She had been battling cancer. And the treatment was no longer, her body was no longer responding to treatment. And they said, what, it was a few weeks ago, that she didn't have a lot of time left. And I think that's when she had been transferred to hospice. So our prayers are with her family. And George Foreman, he's passed away. He was only 76 years old.

And I have no idea why I thought that he was older than. that, right? Because he's always been around. And all his kids are named George. And I remember when he came out with his grills. Remember the foreman grill? Who still has a foreman grill? You don't? Why don't you like the foreman grill?

I used to. I loved it. It angles down. So the grease doesn't stay there. It's healthier. After a while, though. What do you mean? That non-stick coating. Oh, really? I literally still have mine. I have one. I have one. I got it as a wedding present.

So if it hasn't started a wedding present. started deteriorating for you at Wilson. Well, great. Thanks for that. A little fun joy of knowledge. Snow White is only, oh man, no one's going to see it. $48 million. Opening weekend.

$48 million. And the theaters, people have been taking pictures of inside of the theater, and it's absolutely empty. The theaters are empty. No one is going to see this woke trash. Not anybody. Future Apple Watch models, this sounds horrible, may include cameras.

Great. so you can accidentally take photos of yourself in the toilet. It's going to be wonderful. It's part of an AI push. Why do you need a camera on your watch? What is your fridge need to tweet? Why do we have all of this stuff? It's so stupid.

So the visual intelligence relies on chat GPT. I don't care. Can it just tell me the time? I'm thinking about going back old school and getting like an actual old school watch. I know. I'm getting tired of this. Like a swatch? Huh?

Remember the swatches? Get a swatch. Get you a nice swatch. A fossil watch. Get you a fossil watch. But they said it's visual intelligence that extends far beyond the iPhone. And that's, yeah.

So that's fun. Also, no, it's not fun. I don't want it. The IRS is bracing for a 500 billion drop in revenue because people are skipping filings. Wait, that's not how what works. Do you think because they didn't file their taxes somehow, they're not paying taxes off

their income or through sales or anything else? Oh yeah, that's absolutely true. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely true. You know, I'm just going to say, if everybody did it, they don't have enough people to arrest everybody. Just saying, just, you know, remember how many there are of you and how many there are of them. We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us. Our partners, our friends over at Goldco. I mean, our government, wasteful spending, misplaced priorities. Can you imagine how much worse it would be if we would have lost everything in November. I didn't want to think about it because I don't deal with anxiety, and I don't want to start. Goldman Sachs research has raised its gold price forecast to

They're like, what's going on?

You know, some people that's like, listen, I understand if you don't want to buy our product, but you don't have to burn it down. That's a bet unreasonable, you know. Like, this is psycho. Stop being psycho. can't. That's all they have left. I mean, yeah, part of me is like, no, I'm also psycho. Let's see who's bigger. And I'll match your energy and then double it. I don't know. But then I'm like, oh, Dana, that's so mean. Why would you do? Because I don't care. I don't, I don't know. I'm just so tired of this.

I'm so tired. I'm tired of brats being brats, you know, particularly the left. I'm really just, I'm done with. They had their thing over the weekend. And again, welcome back, by the way. Actually, not again. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. We're at the bottom of the second hour. The chats at Rumble. And of course, Channel 347 Direct TV. I, um, they, what was it? They had there. This is the take Tesla down weekend. And I, I've got to tell you, uh, I didn't really see a lot over the weekend, did you? I'm looking down at the notes that I, I saw some crowds. There were tens of people in Franklin, Tennessee. Yeah, there were a lot of areas that were kind of small. There were a couple of areas that looked like a large gathering. But the

counter protests too. I saw one video where there was a group of counter protesters, meaning they were pro Tesla, and they lined up first because apparently the left can't get out early enough. Oh my gosh. No. Oh, no. So they set up in front of the Tesla so that the left couldn't. If you ever want to do anything, Kane, like if you wanted, like say you're in elected office and you wanted to sign something or do some official business and you didn't want the left to protest at it. What Kane would do is he would do it early in the morning or in winter. because they don't like getting up and they don't like the cold. They have their seasons too.

It's like how you don't feed gremlins after midnight. I don't know. It's, yeah, they have their seasons as well. So they really didn't have a lot of people that went to their little Tesla demonstration. They really didn't have a lot. And so I, like, tens of people here. Oh, Vanity Fair was trying to push something. They had like tens of people.

That was it. Otherwise, they really didn't see a lot. They said, here's the Tesla takedown. The Tesla takedowns. At one of them, there was like four people. I'm looking at, I don't know where this was at. There was like four people there. And what was the purpose of it?

So you don't like a car brand. Great for you and your lack of a life. That's wonderful. Now, can you just go and get out of everybody's way? We're going to brunch, bitch. Let's move. Go. Get out of the way.

Just, no, I'm not apologizing for my Portuguese because I'm not Dora the Explorer. That's why. Oh, they had someone, some people went away because it got into, it rained. So in British Columbia, it rained. They were doing a little Tesla thing and they just, and most of the people went home and there was one lady who stayed out and that was it. And let's see, there's not really a lot. They had, oh, I'm sure a lot of them were rent-a-riots.

I'm sure a lot of them were. I mean, they have professionally made signs. It's so stupid. And then they got these old commies, these like old crispy, 90-year-old commies bent over like cocktail shrimp, holding their little, their mass-produced signs, like rioting, protesting about cars

that they would never themselves purchase or drive. I mean, really, if one of them got violent with you, all you would have to do is just knock into them and they'd fall down and break a hip at this point. I mean, is it really that, you know, were you going to get upset over them? I don't know. I mean, it's just so stupid.

This is so dumb. People are protesting over a car. There was one guy, like these one people are at an intersection. I'm watching, I can't share any of this video because these people have the dirtiest mouths ever. Every other word is F. Every other word. Every other word.

And they're, Kane, I'm so, I get what you said that old people aren't innocent. I totally get it now from this video because all these dudes are like, they're in their 90s. They're all your old's great grandparents out there. God love them. They found the oldest commies. These people probably knew literally in person Carl Marx back in the day. I mean, they're, you know, don't let a hard win. and hit them because they'll turn into dust, but they're out there calling this guy a blank hole

because he's driving a Tesla down an intersection. They're on the street, like by a Tesla, and they're all protesting. That's just so stupid. I remember they got so upset because conservatives were just like, we don't like a Bud Light. We're not going to drink it. And that was it. That's all we did. And they thought, you're so good. Now look at them. Do we, I didn't fire bomb a Bud Light factory. I didn't, you know what? I didn't go kick a Clydesdale. I don't go do anything like that. Actually, it's a good thing that Tesla doesn't have an animal mascot because they would have killed it. You know, they're really, yeah. I mean, they, they didn't like minorities on boxes of products. They wanted to take all the minorities off and have only white people on boxes of

products. That's where they took that dandine off the butter and all of that and each of my, the whole syrup and all that stuff. And they, they were acting as though conservatives were overreacting to that. But then reality, they're, I mean, they're trying to burn dealerships to the ground because they're upset over the politics of the person who owns the company. They had one in Austin, Texas. Oh, just a bunch of dumb hippies. And one of them has, oh, God, love them. Got their little sign upside down. I mean, that's just somebody used the word techno-fascist. And you

have to, this heavyset woman, use the word techno-fascist on her protest sign. I'm the Joan Rivers of protest commentary. So I will cut you up while I look at your stupid protest. I'm just looking at the video here. Yeah, this dumpy lady here with her sign, she put techno-fascist. That's her, like, her one big shining moment in life. Let her have it.

You know, she doesn't have a lot else. What is she going to do? Go back to her shotgun check and, you know, with her cousin, husband, Leroy. I mean, really, like, what does she have to look forward to? Then we've, I mean, they're all, they're literally all old commies. Someone said,

Elon spells felon. That's so stupid. somebody, oh, look at you, you're smart in a way. I can't with these people. But it would be one thing if they were just protesting, which is annoying. But they're not. They're burning down dealerships. They're shooting dealerships.

They're targeting people. They're running women off of the road. So now, some are saying that it's going to get worse as it gets warmer. Do you think it well? Yeah. Really? Yeah. I don't know.

I don't know. We saw more incidents. of vandalism over the weekend of individual cars and things. So I don't think they're... I kind of want to get a Tesla just so I can get in a fight. I don't think until there's consequences that are really levied against them, they're going to care much about stopping. I think if Trump said, you know what, I'm just going to,

if you drive a Tesla, I'm just going to suspend any kind of restrictions that would regulate your defense. Everybody, I would get a lot of, I would get several Teslas and chain them all up and tow them all over town with my cyber truck. I would do that. I don't own a Tesla because you guys know I hate TVs. I would do that just and I would drive it all the way down to Deep Ellum, Kane. Ooh, yeah.

It's brave. No, no, fun. It's not a very reason. Nothing to do with it. Just saying. So who are they convincing? Because if you have a protest, you're trying to get something changed, right? What are they trying to get changed?

What is the point to that? There's got to be a point, right? What's the point? This is what the left is missing out on. What is the point? Did they know? They don't know. They don't know.

The Disney reboot, we talked about this. The theaters are empty. Did it come out over the weekend? Empty theaters. Nobody wants to go see this woke trash. And they said they, this was after a very controlled week of press where they, they didn't have a big red carpet opening, which they were planning on doing with this film. They actually ended up going to like some castle somewhere in Spain.

And they flew her, the Rachel Ziegler, whatever girl, they flew her out there and talked with, I guess, like some of their select VIPs. I guess some of the more hardcore snow white fans. And she's been trying to ingratiate herself back, I guess, with the Snow White fandom. Is there one? I don't know. Maybe. And she, no one's, it's still. And this, of course, came after she was complaining about white executives questioning whether or not she could play Snow White.

She just doesn't shut up. I think she hates this movie. I kind of feel like she hates it. If you thought the movie was creepy in the first place, why did you, oh, because you're thirsty and you wanted a starring role. That's why. So you just sold out your principles then, right? I don't know. I don't know what Tin Head's thinking here with us.

but I will say that I just, I think she's ended her career. I think this actress has ended her career. Just not, you just do the film. You know what you're signing up for. Do the film. Of course, Peter Dinklage, who's not even in the movie, messed it all up. And he got all of the other, like the LPCs, the little people community. He got, right?

He got all the, everybody in the LPC to get mad at him because he was costing them jobs. And that was a couple of years ago. This movie has been plagued by drama since it's. If I was a producer or director of this film, I think I would have fought for myself. I could not have dealt with this kind of chick drama, this woke chick drama. And just think of it. I mean, you know how many people, the company that put this in because of all the wokery, so you have a bunch of little people actors that just got rolls ripped away from them.

You've got, I mean, you're tanking it. I don't even know if anybody's going to buy this merch. Think of all the other stuff that's associated with a movie like this. like you have the merging opportunities, not to say anything of like any kind of sequels or whatever, but usually there's like what a cartoon that they'll usually do based around the main actress, which I don't think they're going to do with this. There's, I mean, the merch, no one wants to buy any of this chick's merch. Nobody wants this.

Gal Godot just went in and they were trying to say that it was controversial with Galgado too, except there was no controversy with her. It was just that she literally existed, you know, and she is, really and some people they were they were trying not to it was a difficult thing for them to to do and then this rachel zegler chick was like putting up like free palestine and all didn't she like she was like born and raised in the united states she has no idea of struggle and she thought that she could like i guess lecture on instagram and in her stories galgado on the israeli uh gaza conflict seriously like galgado literally served in the idf shut up she just isn't suffer

I don't like to cheer for the end of people's career, but I would be happy if I never saw this chick in another film again. It's just, it's insufferable. She's an energy vampire. Even reading a story about her, you're like, oh my gosh, I'm just, I'm so tired. I just read about that. Oh, did you read a Rachel Zegler story? I did.

She's exhausting. She's exhausting, right? Nobody wants to go see this movie. They could have done it really cool. They could have done a real gothic version. of it, you know, and they just decided to ruin it. And they, I'm sorry, she's not pretty enough to play Snow White. And I think it's okay to say that. Because Snow White literally was about how pretty you are. The whole thing is who's prettier? It's a who's prettier girl off? That's the whole

movie. And you have Galgadoo. Galgado. And what space alien Martian, weird dimension? Is she the ugly one? And then you've got Rachel Zegler who, you've got to be a hell of a lot prettier to run your mouth like that in a role like this. You have to. And that's not me being mean. I think a certain, I mean, you just know, you can't. I don't know. I have no plans to see it. We have more on the way, including what is Congress going to take on when they come back? They're coming back this week. You know, we, because we're going to be fighting over the budget again before September. I'm so excited, aren't you? No. Actually, towards the end of September, we got that to look forward to. Also, Hunter Biden's business associate, POTUS throws him a lifeline. We're going to talk about this as well.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. I think that you punch. I think you punch. I think you're okay with you you okay with punching. You know, I think, and I love Colin, and I think towards the end he started to punch a little harder. But like, it's Ted Cruz. I mean, like, this dude has to be knocked over the head, like hard, right? Like, there is no nice to use with him. Like, at all. Like, you, you go clean off on him, right? Couldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight. what is she talking to they're so violent why are they so violent so gross the left was just obsessed with violence obsessed it's really gross right that's jasmine crockett doing disservice to the name davy i feel like texas has

the authority to go you don't get that name yeah unless you do davy crockett stuff i even know what that would be but um i i don't know so this um obsession that they you have do you get the sense that aOC is trying to i feel like she's she's trying to compete with jasmine crockett but also they you can't win against a crazy person and a crazy off and i think we're truly seeing who is the nuttier one of the two and i think that's why aosc's trying to find a new finagle a new way to stay in the headlines and that's why she's trying to align herself with bernie sanders who apparently hates her really doesn't really like her but she's she's trying to now leverage her position as what is she a

sophomore junior lawmaker now sophomore yeah yeah yeah she's trying to leverage uh herself as a more senior democrat within the party even though she has a district that's really small and there's not a lot of influence that you can really use for anything from her district. She has a real little district. There's some really interesting things happening on the Democrat side. The way that they're trying to figure out who's going to be leading the party. Oh my gosh.

And the Biden's want to come back. Did you guys hear about that? I thought they were like done done. I don't know what they, I don't know what coming back means, but they want to come back. They think it's time. The Biden's want back in per NBC. They're struggling to find a new direction. And they've offered to jump in and help with fundraising. and rebuilding. Joe Biden has never been able to fundraise. He's not a big money getter.

And he's told Democrat leaders he'll raise funds campaign and do whatever to recover lost ground. Why would you, why, how much more can you cock yourself? Why would you do that for a party that threw you out like yesterday's trash? Why would you do that? What, they screwed them over so bad. Why? Why would you do that? Are you? Are you? that desperate for a while. He's desperate to, if he doesn't have the resemblance, the, looks like he has power, then he doesn't have any way to leverage his name to make money. What is Hunter Biden going to do is he can't spit paint anymore. Say, that's not president. Stick with us. We get a whole other hour on the way next as we roll towards days of these

United States. Our partners, the non-firearm firearm. It's burn a gun. You've heard me talk about Burna before. I always think it's good to have a diversified implements for self-defense. I'm always going to carry a firearm and I have zero issues using lethal force at all whatsoever to protect myself or my loved one. So that being said, I'm not able to carry everywhere. I have friends that live in New York and D.C. They're not able to carry everywhere. They have big kids. They got big kid jobs. They got to go to work and municipal restrictions. You guys know the drill. The burn a gun shoots chemical urgent projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. It's a good deterrent.

And the best selling model is the Burna SD, right? There's no recoil. There's no background check. It's illegal in all 50 states. It doesn't care about gun-free zone signs. And there's no permits, nothing. It ships right to your door. You can choose your model, the color.

There's different projectiles and accessories there. So for my friends who are barred from their constitutional rights by, you know, living and working in D.C. or Manhattan, they do carry burner guns because you guys see the crime rate for those cities. they don't want to be left a statistic. You carry blades, you have rifles and pistols, you have all different calibers. It's good to have diversity. So, reevaluate yourself, defense plans and options. Visit burnah.com slash Dana.

I knew when I cast my vote against the government shutdown, that it would be, that there would be a lot of, controversy. And there was. But let me tell you and your audience why I did it, why I felt was so important. The CR was certainly bad, you know, the continuing resolution, but a shutdown would be

15 or 20 times worse. I don't, okay, I find it so disingenuous that they keep saying, oh, the CR is bad. It's literally your CR. That's why people like me were super upset with it. That's like why people like Thomas Massey was super upset with it. They, for those who are, who don't know, And welcome back. We're at the top of the second hour, Dana Lash with you. The CR, short for continuing resolution, is continuing literally the existing Biden framework. It's not a budget. So it's called a continuing resolution.

They are just continuing the existing framework and continuing the same levels of spending that already exist. Nothing was cut. There are no tax cuts. nothing about the no tax on tips or none of that selective stuff in there. There was no doge cuts implemented at all. That's all it was. It was literally nothing more than a continuation of Biden's existing policy because they don't have 60 votes in the Senate right now to get a budget done.

So they're going to wait until September when they still won't have 60 votes in the Senate. So they're going to have to wait until probably, oh, I don't know, December, when they still won't have 60 votes in the Senate. So you see, it's never going to get done. That's what I've been trying to tell everybody forever. It's never going to get done. Just like it didn't get done last fall. And before that last spring. And before that last winter.

And then that spring again, I mean, it goes back and back. That's why there's not a budget. It's just one CR after the other, after the other. So for Chuck Schumer, and he's just doing this just to be petty, Democrats can be like, this is a great win for us because it's our bill, but they don't want it to look like that because Trump is in office. So they're going to pretend that it's not their bill, that it's not just their same cuts, that it's not just, you know, the same everything. That's, that's, they're just, that's how they're going to make it look. Anybody, so stop believing them. We have got to, our side needs to stop believing this because it's not at all what it is.

So they said, yeah, we're going to do this just so we can get into, till we go to September. And then, you know, because we don't have 60 votes right now. Cain, we're still not going to have 60 votes in September when they say they have to wait because we don't have 60 votes now. That is true. Which is it reconciliation that we need 60 for it? Yes. Is it?

Okay, because I don't know. I still don't know if that's true. They've been switching back and forth on stuff like that. We're just, we don't have a majority. We have a thinner majority. well, it's still thin in the Senate. It's been in both. Yeah, both chambers.

Yeah. It's even thinner in the house. But it's just not going to happen. So I don't, my whole point is this is them just playing the game. They don't, they don't want it to look like Trump has any kind of victory. They don't want to give him the optic of, oh, he, they got to see our past government didn't shut down. Republicans are terrified always of being yoked with Republican, or with, government shutting down and how the media is going to spin it to hurt Republicans when it never

has hurt them before previously. But long story short, it's, it's, I mean, it's just, it's, I'm so done with it. They had nothing to object to. They loved this bill back when they passed it. They loved the CR when they got everything that they wanted in it. It's just the continuation of Biden's spending. So there's nothing for them to object to other than, um, Trump. That's just, it's a sickness with these people. It's a sickness. Why? Speaking of, you know, members of Congress and these activist judges, because we have some pieces up about this, some of these judges, and how POTUS is wanting to the Supreme Court to go after, or to go after them and stop a lot of the lawfare.

Once again, members of Congress can literally do this. They can impeach judges, impeach activist judges. So why aren't they doing it? Anybody? Why are they not doing it? I saw Nancy Mace tweet impeach activist judges you're literally in Congress

that's your job you can do that you have a majority albeit short why aren't you doing it why are Republicans in the house who have the majority be it barely but they have it why are they not doing this

and impeaching these activist judges themselves maybe it's for the same reason that they didn't actually implement any spending cuts maybe it's the same reason that they didn't make tax cuts permanent. People get aggravated at me, by the way, when I criticize Republicans, and that's my job. I'm not a simp. If people want to be McConnell simps and not want to criticize the Republican Party and think that being a patriot means you just say yes, ma'am, yes, sir, and do whatever the party tells you, then I think you're in the wrong country.

Every now and then I get some pretty hateful email, like you're just running down the Republican Party because I'm a thinking patriot is why I'm sorry that you're a communist. and you don't believe in the civic responsibility of America's citizens as it pertains to accountability in our elected officials. But I do. Never let anybody dissuade you from that stuff because they need to be told, honestly, this is like, I, we're, it really feels very similar to how it did back in the Tea Party days. And I, I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but I also want to warn you about Republicans feeling too confident of a victory that they, they always do this. this every time. They win one thing and they're like, we don't have to do anything else. We're done. I guess we'll show up. Vote on some stuff. Yeah, Nancy Mays, Juan's showing you her tweet. She's in Congress. So impeach them. Why aren't you? Don't just tweet about it. Impeach them.

Why do people always tweet about stuff like, oh, the Epstein files. We got a got on my dad. Okay, then where is it? Where is it? People tweet stuff and they flex, but then they never follow up with action. Doesn't make any sense. It's just do nothing people. I don't know. There's a couple of other things. Following this race that is in Florida, Florida 6th congressional district. My friend Terry Christoff over at Red State has a piece about this right now where she's noting the Republican majority in the House of Representatives. Remember, 2.18, 213, two vacant seats. This is one of the vacant seats because Matt Gates, or no, sorry, this is Matt Walts's district. Mike Walts is in Florida's sixth district. Interestingly enough, this, interestingly

enough, this was the district that Ron DeSantis started in. He was a congressional member back when he helped found the Freedom Caucus, the Tea Party Caucus back during the Tea Party days. He came out of the sixth district. So there's a lot of, um, People are getting, are sounding some concern over that district. And it's a special election. Mike Waltz is now the national security advisor to POTUS. He is in this sixth congressional district. He, uh, the person, the guy who, uh, got the nomination for the Republican candidate was on the show.

Republican Randy Fine. And we had, uh, we had talked about a few things because, you know, he, he obviously, I, I have a lot of questions about some of these very weak Republicans that are very similar to weak Republicans in Texas that they have in Florida. He would not be my first second or third pick. So he got somehow POTUS's endorsement and he is losing the fundraising race. His opponent, Josh Weil, is wow, really raking it in. fine has only brought in 1.2 million. Josh Weil has brought in 10 million.

This is a district that Trump won by 30% less than six months ago. Now, you can spend a lot of money that doesn't necessarily guarantee that you're going to win anything. I mean, look how much Kamala Harris spent. So that's, you know, to be considered. And I think there's not any

world polling to look at, but it is a little weird. Republicans are off to a really slow start as it pertains to early voting. The data, and this was from Red State notes that this is from early this morning. Flager County heavily are. Republicans

are at 5,031 votes. Democrats are 4,668. Valucia County. Republicans, 8,17. 8,938. St. John's County, Republicans, 1092, Democrats 1,235. As it is right now, more Democrats are voting in early voting than Republicans by over 800. And they're outpacing Republicans in fundraising.

Now, I think that this is a warning bell. I think it's a warning bill for two reasons. First off, I know we all say, and I look, I, believe it unless I can use it for my advantage. Same day voting. That's fine. A lot of Republicans do that. But I went a little further and looking at some of this. And there was a huge turnout with early voting during the general election last election and Republicans were outpacing Democrats. And Republicans also outnumber Democrats in terms of as a party registrants. It could mean voter fatigue for Republicans. And that would be understandable coming off.

of a big general election. I get it. And Florida was a battleground in certain districts. Republicans worked so hard and made such sweeping victories that if they just maintain the party's health, you have an entire generation of Republican voters. But Republicans are stupid. You've got Republicans in Florida that spend more time running their mouths on social media than they do actually representing their voters. They play footsie with special interests and we know all about it. Big time footsie with special interests. And it's all public information.

Voters don't like that. That's not what they voted for. Voters voted for less government, more individual liberty. And they spend all their time running their mouths on X and trying to flex. and finds no different. He was on the show. We talked, you guys saw how that went.

And none of the other ones will come on the show. We've tried. They will not have anything to do with us. Fine at least, I will say, showed up on the program. But I feel like the Republicans, while they were doing all of that, they've introduced, they've balked at rolling back gun control. They have bopped at implementing the president. immigration agenda. Remember, they wanted to

reconstruct, they wanted to restructure all of immigration enforcement and put it under their, their agriculture commissioner, the AG, who was, is a large egg farmer and voted, and I had the the roll call, I tweeted it, had voted to exempt himself literally from E-Verify. So there's a lot of questions there. Voters see this stuff and I feel like they're disillusioned because a lot of these, that's

That is what happens when you do have a very red state. You get a lot of really bad Republicans. It's not, it just goes to show you, you can't, it's not enough just to have a red state. You have to have actual conservative, constitutionalists in these seats. You can't just say, we're a red state now. We don't have to babysit it anymore. That's, you know, you would rather have too much liberty to attend to than too little per Jefferson. So this is something that that voters in Florida are really going to have to focus on because otherwise you're going to have stuff like this start cropping up. This should be an early warning. sign. The fact that the Democrat not only is out fundraising, but Democrats are exceeding Republicans

in early votes right now, which was unheard of during the general election. In an area that is so red, and especially considering that it's not just a same-day voting issue because a lot of people in these districts voted early and it showed and you could see the lead that they had on Democrats going into election day back in November, this is a warning sign. What does living better? What does living better? mean to you? Is it more money, a bigger house? Now think about this. What about how you feel physically every day?

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So I was saving this one from last segment. American women are giving up on marriage, says the Wall Street Journal. They said that major demographic shifts have put men and women on divergent paths, and that's left more women resigned to being single. Well, that's what happens. You broads wanted, you didn't want equality. You wanted to literally run down men.

And now you're shocked that nobody wants to marry you. Wow. Cry me a river. You know, maybe, maybe stop being bitches. And stop thinking that the one way to elevate your sex is by tearing the other one down. That's not the way that you do it. And that's not, that's not what healthy, strong, like actually strong women do. They don't need to talk about empowerment because they just are.

So I don't know. I just, I get, it's sad because I feel bad for men today. but at the same time, you know, I don't really think that they should have to jump on that landmine. I don't know. We'll talk about this more coming up. Cannabis users under 50 are six times more likely to have a heart attack. That cannabis is killing everybody, Kane, until they have solid data.

Like, I'm not even a marijuana person, whatever that means, but I just think these are ridiculous. It just, I can't take it seriously. They said that there's a study that should people who consume the marijuana are six times more likely. to have heart attack and die or have a heart attack. We would have had this dad decades ago if it was true. Yeah, I think it is true.

I mean, the Reefer Madness stuff from like our grandparents era. Yeah. Netflix is going to offer that whining red spare prints and his suitcase Yonker or whatever a contract apparently once their current deal

ends. And I read that it was just because they're doing a documentary on Princess Diana. That's what I read. That's like the only thing that they have left. That's like you're literally like pimping out your dead mother so that you can make money because you didn't want to work for the royal family that's so weird coming up stephen yates joins us next the celtic pr 57 the 57 the keltec pr 57 the numbers i'm just reading the numbers i'm so excited to get my hands on this i don't have mine yet i just got one of my new ksgs and i'm really excited about this one because i first

off. I love the 5-7 caliber. But it's not really something that's practical for me to carry. And for a lot of people, not just me, for a lot of people out there. Well, that was until Caltech decided to innovate more and change the game again. And now we've got to get this when the MSRP is only $300. Or what was it? Yeah, $3.99. So it's like super, super affordable. And it's the lightest and the thinnest 5-7 that's out there. It's 40% lighter than the next 5-7. 7, the Keltec PR 57 rotary barrel pistol. Now, they do it this in two ways. They have the innovator rotary barrel that makes it, helps to make it super light, but they also have this very unique top loading design. So you can say clip with us, and it's actually correct, because they got

rid of the traditional magazine. So they use stripper clips for a slimmer carry profile and 20 plus one capacity, built to perform when it matters, most super low recoil, quickest and easiest field strip available. And again, MSRP, 399, super affordable. Visit Keltuck Weapons. to learn more about the PR-57 rotary barrel pistol chambered in 5-7. It's innovation performance and all Caltech.

Keep your finger on the pulse with a Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis. Whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. Just saw another alert about a Tesla thing. another Tesla that just came in. I know, I tell you what. You can listen coast to coast, Channel 347 DirecTV as well, X the chats at Rumble. Yeah, it said, police were on the scene of

suspicious incendiary devices discovered at a Tesla dealership in Austin. It's like the left trying to enforce that Chinese behavioral credit, the behavioral regulations. Like, we don't like the car you're driving, so we're going to just pester you fiscistically until you stop driving it. Speaking of China, they hit back at the Trump tariffs. Of course they did. Of course they did. In a really mean way. They said, and we all know that this is false, fentanyl is America's problem. That came out of Beijing today. They denounced the Trump administration's imposition of the threatened 10% tariff. And I think that actually what we could be implementing on them should be way higher, but that's me. I'll wait. But they said that the door's open. They left the door open for talks. Beijing is challenging the president's tariff at the World Trade. trade organization and they're taking countermeasures. But they said Trump ordered the 25% tariffs on Canada, Mexico, 10% is on goods from China. And they said they need to need that to stance the flow of fentanyl. But then China's commerce ministry said in a statement that Trump's move seriously violates international trade rules. I'm reading from a statement, urge the U.S. to, quote,

engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation, adding that fentanyl is an American problem. I find that, well, I don't believe it, and I don't think that the dishonesty and the pettiness helps. Joining us now on this and several other issues is our good friend Stephen Yates at Yates Coms on X. And he obviously, you know, he worked in two presidential administrations. This is his wheelhouse in a number of ways, one of which is incredibly heartbreaking. But he joins us now via the interwebs, some device. You're using something. It's good to see you, my friend.

I mean, clearly they're aware that the precursors that are needed to, for whatever, the finished product of the drugs that they sell, those are sourced from China by their cartels. They have a very sophisticated relationship in order to facilitate that. So for them to say, Stephen, that this is an American problem, they created a problem and they brought it to America by way of Mexico. Yeah, it's really offensive and lazy. Dana. I mean, really, the tariff was put in place right at the beginning of the administration. It's one of the things that I, every day, express gratitude to the Trump administration for because others have promised to do things. And right out of the blocks, they made this a priority to impose some cost to try to get China to negotiate. And then also to make sure that there was

resources collected that might be used to address some of the costs of fentanyl. I mean, as you alluded to, many of us have paid the price of losing a loved one, but that's only one of the costs. First responders and law enforcement officers have to deal with this as a frontline cost every single day. Hospitals are overburdened. Icups are overburdened. All this is cost. And you're right, a House Select Committee found that not only does the Chinese government know about this, they're reimbursing the value-added taxes of those in China who are manufactured.

the illicit precursors. And just to put salt in the wound, they're also laundering the money. And so they're involved on all parts of this. It's outrageous that they say this. But I say it's lazy because they've wasted at least a month plus of time and they haven't moved the needle at all

in what they're saying and what they're proposing. They're stuck on this stupid talking point. Yeah, that's, I mean, it's anybody that has access to the internet can know that, yes, you're involved in this. And they know the extent at which China's involved in this. we're talking to Stephen Yates, Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. I mean, I think the tariffs are necessary.

I also think the White House moving to classify, and I'm not even going to go through the list, there's quite a bit of them. There were a number of cartels, not just Trinderagua, but also the Sinaloa cartel, the Helisco cartel, a number of Mexican cartels that have been designated as foreign terrorist organizations. What does that help us? to understand what that does in terms of policing the border, not just for people, but for fentanyl smuggling and smuggling drugs across the border. How does that help by doing this? Well, the terrorism designation primarily allows for authorities for the administration and all

the tools that it's disposal to go after those vehicles for bringing the deadly angel of death into our communities and our homes. And so it gets at the means of delivery. Another step that could be taken that I hope at higher levels of the administration they'll take seriously under consideration is designating illicit fensinal precursors as weapons of mass destruction. That would allow for more tools to go after the substance, not just these means of bringing the chemicals physically into our country. And those basically make it so that, oh look, a war has been declared on us. The only question we have is whether and how to respond. I don't want to go to kinetic military war, but there's been a drug war declared on us, a biological and chemical war declared on us with a combination of COVID and fentanyl.

And so we should have all tools at our disposal to go after the finances, to go after the organizations that transship and manufacture, and to go after where the money is. And so if someone is caught in possession of illicit fentanyl precursors and they're designated as WMD, there's a whole host of it. of penalties that go with that, that would be a little bit stricter than someone is getting picked up on the street for having a category, who's a what's-y substance. Now, that makes a lot of sense. Talking with Stephen Yates at Yates comms. And that, I mean, because I thought, too, I thought, is that going to mean that we can just

go across the border and send like a strike team and take care of these cartels and bus, you know, there's so many shows where they, they actually like our plot. Yeah. That has to be in the mix, but there are a lot of consequences that a responsible government would need to think through before clicking go on that. I mean, of course, I would love nothing more, but for me, I would just be popping popcorn and sitting back and watching the action. There are real people that could have real blowback and other problems if they go in that direction. And there's also this nagging issue of, do you have an authorization to use military force? This has been a controversy since 9-11 in Afghanistan through the Iraq experience.

And it's not a trifling constitutional matter. In a perfect world, which we sadly don't live in, you would have Congress that could handle lots of things at once, but also the urgent things like this. And then there would be a speedy way to say, you know what? This is an assault. We've had 400,000 plus casualties in America just to fentanyl. alone and then like a million from the COVID stuff, at what point do you authorize the use of military force, even though you're not saying that's what we want. But you say, look, we want everyone in the world to know that you kill Americans.

You're going to have to be at risk of this. And Congress authorizes the president to do what he needs to do. Yeah. Why did this is a weird story, still keeping it with China. Why did they publicize that they have a cable cutting device? a deep sea cable cutting device. Let me, they said that they have an undersea, they have a submersible entity that they can attach a new cable cutting device to

that can cut undersea telecommunications and power cables at a depth of 13,000 feet. That's a weird thing to publicize, Stephen. Well, this is the Chinese Communist Party being kindergartners again. They're going out there and saying, I didn't do it. I didn't do it. It's not my fault. But by the way, I can't keep a secret. And I got this cool little thing where I'm going out and clipping everything because that's

what a kindergartner would do. They're not at all responsible. They're not taking any kind of accountability or being transparent. This is basically what an adolescent power does. And that's kind of what they are. And I don't say that to make them less of a threat. I think that makes them more of a threat and a problem. Yeah.

That they have this weird schizophrenic way of acting. But yeah, it's totally bizarre that they say, hey, look at us. We've got this capability. But at the same time saying, oh, we haven't been the ones doing this. You guys are just meanies. Yeah. What worries me with them isn't what they tell me that they have. It's what they're not telling me.

Because if they're dumb enough to advertise this, I think, well, then what actually shady, like seriously dangerous shady stuff do you have that you haven't publicized? I mean, they were bragging about this. And they talked all about the team. They had a whole cover story of this publication. their, what is it, the South China, whatever morning post. They had a whole cover story. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I've never seen any thing like this where they were bragging like it's a weapon, ultimately, that they're bragging about. Yeah. Replete with photos and all the people involved with it. They're proud. That's just like some teenage guys in a country part of America walking around with wire cutters and twirling them around and showing them off. And a bunch of farmers' fences have been cut, but it isn't us. Not us. We don't know how that happened. We don't know. Last thing for you, China secured a $2 billion

contract to build an industrial complex in Iraq. And they have their weird photos that they take. It's always weird whenever you see like Iraqi government and the communist Chinese do pictures together because they're also uncomfortable looking. They're two communists and fascists to actually enjoy the moment of whatever they're doing. They look like they're all held hostage and they're standing in front of like one of those big photo walls. They signed a contract with this company to build this complex in Basra. Investments, they said, will exceed $2 billion. Are they trying to get involved in the oil game in this part of the world?

Well, for sure, the oil game. Plus, unfortunately, post-Iraq war, there's a lot of Iranian influence in Iraq. And, of course, China and Iran have been trying to be strategic partners, part of this axis of do-no-good and anti-Americanism. And they've helped Iran be sanction busters. And so you have the Trump administration looking to reinstate parts of maximum pressure on Iran, rebuilding some of the fundamental strategies of the Abraham Accords, and all of that's to the good. Conspicuously, it was also in the Putin-Trump phone call where they were talking about ways to make sure that Iran doesn't ever get a nuclear weapon.

And so whether I trust Putin and that is a whole other issue. But this idea of playing in Iraq is a way of deepening some foothold in the broader Middle East. And I guess to me, this is just more China throwing what to them is a little bit of money. To me it's a lot of money, but to them it's a little bit of money to basically make headaches and stir the pot. And it's unhelpful, it's irresponsible. And really, it's a shame that Iraq, after so much blood and treasure was spilled, would kind of turn to them for these things at this point. here we are. Here we are.

It's time for Florida man. I kind of want to have this explained to me and I don't want to have it explain to me. I don't understand how you steal a lap dance. So a Florida man was arrested for doing just that at a strip club.

They called him a broke punter accused of stealing $160 with a $1,60 with a lap dances from a stroke club so he failed to produce the money to pay for them when you don't don't you pay first for stuff like that you're supposed to i thought the 39 year old john elberson was arrested at his home at one of the morning 10 minutes after he fled the club he went to the rain ladies and gentlemen's club and uh he had some lap dances that he just did not want to pay for and they arrested him so that's i guess stealing so it's like yeah i mean i guess it's like you're running out of a store without pay. I just think for things like that, me

pay in advance. You know what I'm saying? You just, it's not my fault that they, I don't know, just saying, just saying. Let's see here. This pull this up. This has to do with a Florida man who was arrested for driving an SUV into a crowd

of anti-Tesla protester. See, it's all fun of a game still somebody gets run over. Was he in a Tesla? truck it said SUV don't they make SUVs too Tesla SUVs? They do. Okay so is that I'm just wondering

The cyber truck is considered an SUV right? I mean maybe I don't know So this guy He uh He's charged with aggravated assault It was in Palm Beach County Over the weekend The driver was charged

He oh is a Nissan Pathfinder He mounted his black Nissan Pathfinder Under a sidewalk and advanced Okay so if they're on the sidewalk Maybe you stay on the road I don't mind people on the sidewalk. I don't care. When they get into the road is the problem. One of the, but you know what? Also, I really don't take seriously the protestations from anybody who's a part of the whole fire bomb Tesla movement, right? So, that you guys wanted this. You wanted to escalate it. So now you got what you wanted. And, you know, just saying, this is what happens when you don't, when you are encouraging vandalism and assault and. And, you know, like arson, like what this movement has been doing.

One of the guys, they always act like their senior citizens everywhere. He goes, he drove into a crowd of senior citizens. I seriously doubt it. He said two older women were almost clipped. We immediately called the cops. And so the guy was arrested. He was charged with assault. But yeah, that's what, yeah, can't go ahead and say.

That's what. That's exactly what happens when you let emotions drive all of your decisions. People are, I don't know why anybody would act shocked that something like this would happen. I mean, they want something like this to have. happen. That's what these, that's what these people have been trying to. I told you, and then they're going to scream injustice. Set it. I told you. Also, uh, there was a, I don't know, there's a fire at Disney World. Do we care? Not really. Yeah, it was at Epcot at the park. I don't care. It was at the France Pavilion. Really don't care. I don't care. There was a fire at a theme park.

We're just my, I'm, forgive me if I don't feel super excited or sad or caring about that. Uh, let's there's a Florida man coloring book as well. There was a Florida man who please let this be a different guy. I don't know how many times this guy. Oh no, no, it's not. It's not going to be a different guy because, oh no, this one's older.

The hamster wheel guy's back. He's trying to rebuild his hamster wheel. One Florida man became upset about music during karaoke night and got into it with another patron. It was, law enforcement said Aaron Jablonsky, of course, really Jablonski. 34 years old.

aggravated assault and fell in possession of a firearm, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. He was aggrieved about the choice of karaoke music at the overtime sports bar. He became upset. What song? How are you doing this article? And you're not telling us what song he became upset over. Because I feel like that kind of goes into whether or not it's justified or not. Maybe it was self-defense.

Stick with us. Third hour on the way. Partners that help bring you the program, Superbeats. the only the only beat product that I recommend to you. Sorry, just not a big fan

of the other ones. I think this one is the one that has well, not only because I know it works, but I mean, I started taking it

before they started working with me, but also they put a lot of effort into every product that they bring to market. They have actual scientists and medical professionals

that they work with and they are sticklers for detail. So you know the super beats heart shoes for heart health. Well, they have super bream. This,

supports healthy metabolism and blood sugar levels. It's a plant-based formula, and it's burbering and Italian olive fruit extract. And the burbering that they used, they wanted a particular type of burbering, and they had this what they used clinically studied. It actually delivers 10 times higher absorption than standard burbering, which means fewer pills to swallow. You get metabolism and healthy blood sugar support benefits in one capsule a day. And because I can literally hear nano right now asking this question, there's no GI distress. It's a lot. If you're worried about burbering causing GI distress, their unique formula with grape seed extract actually improves tolerability. You can get both the superbrane and the number one best-selling superbeats heart shoes at Sam's Club.

That's where you can go purchase Superbeats Harchews for your heart health support and the superboreen for healthy metabolism and blood sugar support. That's from our folks at our friends at human. Welcome to the program. Dana Latch with you, top of this third hour. And you can listen Coast to Coast. Channel 347 DirecTV is the sign. The Chats at Rumble. I'm trying to wrap my hat around the story that broke while we were on air, and it's out of the Atlantic.

Now, and because most of our tax dollars paid for these stories already for the creation of them through USAID, go to removepaywall.com for any article that's behind a paywall, and you can get right around it. I didn't find that. You didn't hear that for me. So the article consists of, now this is why I'm looking at this. it's Jeffrey Goldberg. I'm not a big Jeffrey Goldberg fan for a number of reasons. Jeffrey Goldberg is asserting in his piece that the Trump administration accidentally included him in a group on signal, which is like a messaging app, and that discussed their military strikes in Yemen. And he didn't think it was real, he said, and then the strikes happened.

And he says that he was added on March 15th and apparently got the first message from Michael Waltz, who Michael Waltz is the name of Trump's national security advisor. And he does his best. I think he, I don't know, he's got to be careful because he's, he doesn't go right out and say these are the exact people. but apparently like he's for instance this is what he writes he said um a message to the group for Michael waltz read as follows team establishing principals group for coordination on hoothies

particularly for over the next 72 hours my deputy Alex Wong is pulling together a tiger team at deputies agency chief of staff level following up from the meeting in the sit room this morning for action items, et cetera. And he adds, please provide the best point of contact from your team for us to coordinate with the next, you know, a couple of days and over the weekend. And they're talking about the senior most NATSEC people, right? The director of the CIA, all of it. Now, Goldberg goes, it should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway.

I've never been invited to a White House Principles Committee meeting in my many years of reporting on national security matters. And I've never heard of one being convened over a commercial messaging app. He said a minute later, and this is his people. A person identified only as M.A.R., the Secretary of State, as Marco Antonio Rubio, wrote Mike Needham for State, designating the current counselor for the State Department as his representative. So the names that follow are the people who are going to be the points of contact for, you know, the Secretary of State or SecD. for State. The other one identified as J.D. V.R. R. Andy Baker in for the VP. One minute after that. at TG, presumably Tulsi Gabbard, said Joe Kent for D&I.

A little after that, Scott B. Forecent, Dan Katz for Treasury, a user called Pete Heggsethro, Dan Caldwell for DoD, Brian, a man named Brian wrote Brian McCormick for NSC, etc. And he said the principals had apparently all assembled, 18 listed as members of the group, including various national security officials, Steve Wittkov, the Middle Eastern Ukraine negotiator, Susie Wiles, the White House Chief of Staff, and someone identified only as SM, which could mean Stephen Miller. And he said, I appeared on my own screen only as JG. And that was the end of the Thursday text chain.

And then he said he got a stranger that the text they were talking about, like, their operations in this. And I'm not going to read the whole piece. It's not beyond the realm. of possibility. I just am always, I always have a healthy skepticism when dealing with the press. However, I do think that this is kind of one of the issues with doing things digitally at this level. Because when you type someone's name and especially for like Signal, when you're going to create a group and signal is used by a lot of people in the press and government and et cetera for heightened security, I don't know that it actually provides heightened security because you can set messages to delete. But if you ever get in trouble with a lawsuit, I mean, you have to be able, especially like you have to preserve communications.

You can find yourself in some serious issues if you don't preserve communication. So that can get a little hairy. But they're trying to say like what are the encryption and all of that makes it whatever. So a lot of people use it. This is kind of a problem. When you when you're filling out or when you are inviting people to. to a group discussion. It will, you know, you write J in there and it'll pull up all your contacts that I have J

in. in. So you could just, I mean, it could just literally be just a simple slip of the thumb user error and you add the wrong person in. And then you should always obviously double check whom you've added in. Clearly, if this is how it went, then that wasn't done. And he gets into this everything over the next couple of days in the signal channel. Like for instance, he said the first detonations in Yemen would be felt two hours hence at 145 p.m. Eastern time. He says, I waited in my car in a supermarket parking lot.

If the signal chat was real, I reasoned, hooty targets would be bombed. At 155, I checked X and searched Yemen. Explosions were being heard across Sauna, the capital city. I went back to the signal channel. At 148, Michael Waltz had provided the group an update. He says, I won't quote from this text except to note that he described the operation as an amazing job. A few minutes later, quote unquote, John Ratcliffe wrote a good start. Not long after, quote unquote, Waltz responded with three emoji, a fist, an American flag, and fire. Other people, including Marr wrote in, good job, Pete and your team. Wiles texted, kudos to all, those in theater and syncom, et cetera. I mean, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And there's like screenshots and all kinds of stuff. I, so is it real? I can't imagine that. he would make this up, Kane, because it's a real weird thing to make up, especially for

something that happened already. And there's not, I don't know if. It is. And I'm looking at, you know, some of the language being used in some of this, abbreviations, acronyms, things like that. It does kind of give it some credibility here. If this happened in the way that it did, wow, that is a massive communications error, obviously. I can't, was it, I mean, was it done accidentally? I mean, a major, major security failure. I, I, I don't know. I mean, there's, the article has already, the article ran to, I mean, just a little bit ago.

And that's the other reason, as weird as the timing is, that's to me, a reason that would make me consider the validity of it. because it's far after the point at which it could have been used to compromise any objective. And I just, he doesn't editorialize in the piece the way that I have come to expect and have read from a lot. And I'm not saying I like Jeffrey Goldberg. Don't mistake me for the love. But I'm trying to figure out, A, if it legitimately happened the way they said it did, and B, the motive. Like what's the, you know, just like as a way to embarrass the administration, make them think that, oh, they brought in a lot of outsiders. You should treasure.

Because the left loves to plant seeds of distrusting only conservative administrations or Republican administrations rather. Do you think it's real? How do you text people like, and then you're using emoji? I don't know. It happens, though. I mean, that's, and they have these points of contact representing their offices. Imagine feeling protected because you're using. signal.

Right? And then you're accidentally included a journalist. Right. And so I was looking. I'm like, who has the initials

J.G? Jeffrey. Yeah. No, I know. But in Trump's cabinet, who they mistook

as adding to this list. And I can't unless it's just like another staffer like, you know, and DOD or like maybe a press,

I don't know. But that's very interesting. Very, very interesting. So this ran at the Atlantic and apparently the everything happened and he wanted to wait and see if the strikes happened when they said they would. But the headline is the Trump administration accidentally texted me its war plans.

I think the editorialization comes in the headline. That's not necessarily Goldberg's headline because usually with a lot, and I'm not defending anyone, I'm telling you how it is. Obviously, the Atlantic is very left and their editors are the ones who headline pieces, yes. I wonder if this is it because National Security Council for the White House is Joshua a Geltzer, J.G. And I wonder if that's how Goldberg accidentally got it.

Ooh, this, they got to be careful with us. They have to be so careful with us. This is, I mean, I don't think that there's any, I mean, it's a massive security failure and there's a lot of problems with us. Do I think that it complicates anything after the fact? I don't really think so. I think that they need to be obviously way more careful going forward. But me and alive.

I mean, how do you just like, you don't double check? You got to double check stuff. And a lot of people are saying it's not a sound source. No, I agree with you. Believe me, I've been at this way longer. And we're not saying that to be ignorant. I'm just saying that you cannot ever hope to attempt to match my level of hatred or cynicism. for the legacy press.

However, the way that this was rolled out lends more to the validity of it than not. We just got to be careful. And I don't think that they need to be using Signal. I don't think they need to be using, I don't know, right? I just feel like when you're at that level,

you need, I want, where's your special James Bond phone? What the hell do my taxes pay for? My taxes don't pay for studying fat lesbians or paying for like, trans stuff in the Middle East. I don't, that's not what we're, I expect there to be the existence

of James Bond phones that can only talk to other people that are in the James Bond phone thing. And only when you're in the cone of silence. Right? Where, but you're telling me that they're just, let me get on my Apple phone, roop, rip, beep signal. I'm, what in the world?

Don't, don't get a false into security with a lot of these apps because they're also only as private as as a subpoena. So just be careful with that stuff. We have more on the, I'm just reeling over this story. We have more on the way. I'm going to drop it in the notes section, by the way, of substack.

And I'll have something else about it a little bit later on. As we move are the folks who help bring you the program. I love all family pharmacy because they saved my Thanksgiving.

Isn't it like one of the big Churchill family seats, the Spencer? Anyway, so they said that, I don't know why, but they had a golden toilet there, literally 18 carrots. They said it was a work of art insured for 5 million pounds. I'm sorry, it looks like a legit working toilet. I don't know what else to tell you. But they said that a thief swiped it. How does one swipe a lot? large, isn't gold heavy, 18-carat gold toilet?

How do you swipe that? With friends or equipment? Yeah, oh, it is useful. Apparently, one of the guys, the dude, I guess, who owns the place, the pile, the country pile, said that it's splendid to use it, but someone literally stole. That means they had to unhook it, and they think it was cut up and sold. Is it solid gold or just... 18-carat. 18-carat gold.

that's just so gaudy and I mean I love maximalism don't get me wrong but like everything else should match you know like you what is with this bathroom and then just the just I mean if you're looking there's one showing you the photo you can't have a toilet like that in this kind of bathroom with just like the basic

you know it looks like a doctor's bathroom I prefer my toilets to be 24 care if you're gonna go like maximalist like go maximalist don't go halfway vitamin T is the latest vacation trend for travelers The T stands for travel. Ha, ha, ha, ha, they call it vitamin T.

I would love some vitamin T right now. I, Kane, right, vitamin T. I think the whole show needs vitamin T. The audience does, too. Let's bring them with us. Everybody has vitamin T. So everybody says that, you know, vacationing leads to longer, healthier lives.

I think taking time off, I mean, I think it helps if you can leave. But if not, just taking time off is also helpful. Two illegal immigrants in scuba gear were arrested trying to cross the Rio. Now this is actually, I got to give, you know, points for creativity, but it's not like you're difficult to see, though. They had two people wearing wetsuits and carrying scuba diving equipment. They were trying to cross the Rio on lawfully Thursday.

Eagle Pass PD responded after they were easily spotted in a residential neighborhood. So they're in the water, poorly scuba diving. And everyone's like, can see them in the water and pointed them. They were two guys from Guatemala, and they were turned over to Border Patrol for a process. seen. New Yorkers are scrambling for free eggs. I don't know. Apparently people were lining up that in New York to get one of a dozen free eggs, I guess. But what kind of eggs? Are they pasture raised? Because pasture raise has been the chickens around the field and they're happy. Vaccinated eggs. Yeah, I like the pasture free, the pasture, you know, whatever, etc.

Free eggs, things. That's what I like. They say, I think I just need chickens. I need some more pets is what I need. A child fended off a would-be abductor with a pencil. If it was in New Jersey, that's why. Because it was a New Jersey kid. That's why. A child told police that she was nearly abducted while walking to school Wednesday morning in Camden County. Burland Township said that the child reported the incident after arriving at school.

It happened about a quarter to nine in the Washington and Grove Avenues. The eight-year-old said an unknown man approached her from behind, tried to abduct her. She fought him off with a pencil and ran away. She thinks she stabbed him in the face. so he may have a facial injury. She was not injured. They are looking for the suspect. Detectives say that he was wearing black clothes and has a baseball cap on.

Security protocol has been implemented. But that little girl is amazing. Stad of baddie in the face with a pencil. I'm telling you, right? They need to be recruiting her right now.

And I have to tell you, it's, I always think it's like a huge, like, I don't know, I'm not even going to be self-aware or worried about it. It's such a bragging right with me and my family because I grew up watching wrestling, like with Hulk Hogan and Cindy Lopper. And when Cindy Lopper got into it,

They thought it was lying. Like, I'm on television. Like, how am I going to lie to you? So he, uh, the illustrious. mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. He's been making some headlines because he challenged someone to a match. I almost set a fight, a match. And he joins us now via Skype.

Mayor, such a pleasure to have you. Welcome to the program. So this match, because you were a little upset with Tim Walsh, because of the stuff that Tim Wals was saying, not just about Tesla, but voter. I mean, there's a lot of stuff. Let's not, you know, let's not mess around. There's like a list. And you challenged him to a match, a wrestling match.

before we go anywhere, has his office accepted? Have you heard from him? Has he reached out? Well, first of all, I'd like to say hello to Dana's family, and yes, she does know me. Clut that. Surprisingly, Governor Walsh has not reached out to me. I don't know what's going on. I don't know.

Maybe I need to give him my number. I don't know what's up. I mean, yes, I know he's a Democrat, and basically a constitution. But still, like, we all love wrestling. If I was going to get beaten by anybody, like, to death in a ring, I would be like, yes, I want him to do it. I mean, there's honor in it, you know? I mean, you're not just like anyone. You're Glenn Jake.

I mean, not just anybody. You're like a very special elite mayor with a very special set of skills. I'm in the All of Fame. I mean, golly, come on, dude. I'm just saying. So have you reached out? Well, I mean, you've made the offer. You even have, let me pull this up.

You even have the graphic. When the graphic for the match is already made, it's kind of a done deal at that point. The Tennessee Waltz, the charity wrestling event, all of the money that could be raised from this, Mayor. Yes. And I have almost $100,000 probably at this point from credible sources that have reached out to me and say, hey, I'll give money for this. I have a corporate title sponsor. We can probably get more.

And Dana, that's before we even sell tickets to the live event itself. That's before we have a stream. package. I mean, this thing could raise hundreds of thousands of dollars and yeah, I just haven't heard anything back here. It could help people. I mean, it could help a lot of people. It could probably help stray dogs, the elderly,

you know, everybody. I mean, let's think of just come up with some way. I guess he hates all those. He doesn't want to help people if he doesn't want to take on this match. I think for America, he should. I think what's happened is his mouth has written a check that he knows his body

can't cash in any case. And it is unfortunate because, look, I'm the consummate professional. Yes, you are. If this match would take place, I promise you, I promise his family, he's not going to get hurt. It would be entertaining. It would be a lot of fun. And despite our pretty significant political differences, we could walk away from it, friends. So there's really no lose for anybody here.

Did you offer him, like a kind of like a ringer? Maybe he could have like a tag team ringer? Well, I mean, he was the one that made the challenge. Oh, that's right. It's true. Good point. Yeah. They don't want to see Ali versus some guy.

You know, they don't want to see Mike Tyson versus some dude. They want to see Glenn Jacobs versus Tim Walls. However, I am willing to some stipulation that would even the odds, such as my hand tied behind my back so I can wrestle with one hand. I'd even wrestle blindfold. And I mean, anything he comes up with, I'm pretty. open to because I understand I mean you know I'm six foot eight I weigh 300 pounds or so and I'm still I try to keep myself in best shape as I can I'm not in ring shape anymore but I keep myself in pretty good shape I wouldn't mess with you if I was a dude I wouldn't mess with

you right and he's like 6 1 he's 2 30 and he's probably doesn't keep himself in the shape frankly than I do so I understand there are some physical challenges limitations but here's the deal you know throughout my wrestling career I did sometimes have to work around that and still have entertaining matches with people. I'm someone of an expert at this whole thing. So I just just didn't give him a chance. It's not like you challenged him to like a skeet shooting competition or anything like that. You know, I mean, you didn't, you didn't do anything like that. That's just good old American wrestling. Yeah, exactly. And actually, I have been sporting clay shooting. And I, you know, like you, I am a firearms enthusiast. That's pretty hard, actually.

Have you ever done the sporting clay's thing? Oh, yeah, it's really hard. I'm not even going to pretend to be awesome at it. really hard. My oldest son is like a natural. I mean, I should have said, dude, yeah, let's do some sporting clays or something. Yeah. But, you know, seriously, I mean, when he said that he could kick pretty much most Trump supporters' tales, you know, that's just not something that you say, even in jest, that's not something you say. It's not appropriate for an elected official.

If I had said that, if Donald Trump had said that, we'd be excoriated. You're threatening. You're intimidating, you're intimidating people. But, you know, Tim Wall says it, and it's just fine. and everybody's laughing about it. And that's such a good point, too. And we're talking to Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, the illustrious Glenn Jacobs, aka Kane from WWE, long-story American icon.

The remarks that he said were he, and he tried to say that he was joking later, but at the time, it really didn't seem that way. And it came during a weekend that followed, like, somebody shooting up a Tesla dealership, and that was after somebody tried to burn down another Tesla dealership in Seattle. So it was just like the wrong time to say stuff.

like that. And you're right, the left would go crazy. If you said something like that, the left would go crazy at you. Yeah, and sort of the reason I had that smile on my face. Obviously, what's happened with Tesla is just inexcusable. But we had, we had some protesters at our Tesla dealerships here across Tennessee last weekend. So, of course, I did have to take that opportunity to test drive a cyber truck. And while the car was driving itself, I had to wave out the window with both hands at the fans of Elon Musk there. That's amazing. I love that. And that, you could show up to the ring in, I'm like, already had this plane out of my head. I have, for full disclosure, I've volunteered if you need a referee. I will try my best to be objective and, you know, work on behalf

of the people and the, the integrity of the sport. But I would totally referee, and I would even throw in, Mayor, my giant Yeti mom cooler of sports drinks that I used to cart to all the fields everywhere. There you go. I mean, that thing's ready to go. It's all jacked up on tires. It's ready to Yeah. Tennessee Senator Marshall Blackburn reached out to me the other day, and she is actually willing to work the concession stand and make her world famous chocolate chip cookies. So this thing's got legs, man. It could go just, I mean, it could be the sporting event of the year. I really do think so. I think that and maybe like we have a halftime thing, you know, depending on how many rounds you all agree to, you know, like a little intermission. We're talking to the mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee. be half times.

No, we can stretch it out to be like four hours and you're like, what are you doing? I just offered to do a match. Now you're going crazy, Dan. I'm just thinking like of all the things we could add on to it to just, you know, maximize the contributions to save people. That's all. So I mean, I maybe he thinks twice. Maybe something like this.

I don't know. Maybe it causes him to think twice. I feel like they're having kind of a crisis of identity right now. Oh, absolutely. And I feel like he and AOC are talking. trying to jockey for spiritual leadership of the party and you got Chuck Schumer out there. What are you expecting Democrats to look like by the time midterms come around? Do you think they're going to find their footing or they get, where do they go?

They're already so far left. I don't know where you go from there. Yeah, I don't know where they're going to go either. I think this whole thing of Walls is actually the result of a memo that went out from consultants and strategists on the Democrat side saying, guys, we have to be tougher. And obviously, they're trying to be something that they aren't. You know, I mean, it's okay. It's all right.

Just be yourself. The issue is that the American people can see through politicians who aren't authentic, who aren't themselves. And it's like Tim Walls now all of a sudden is trying to play this actor on TV. He's not an actor. He's certainly not a professional wrestler, so he shouldn't be acting like one. But I think this is all due to, it's still that the after effects, the hangover of, wokeism. And the party is still so concerned about, it's a very small segment of population,

even of their base, but the far, far, far left, you know, that they're trying to reinvent themselves. But what do you expect from a party that for years literally said there was no difference between a man and a woman? Yeah, yeah. I mean, maybe if they can identify as whatever they want, maybe someone can identify as Tim Walts, you know, the governor, Waltz and pretend, you know, maybe he could have somebody standing on on his behalf. I just think that this is so interesting. Two questions for you. That ever,

first off, everybody wants me to ask this question of you. When are you running for governor? I probably won't run for governor actually at this point. There are some things that have changed in that race. So I probably not going to do that. And I don't know what my few political future holds if I have a political future, frankly. And I didn't get into this to people always ask.

if I'm going to run for higher office. And I never saw this job as Knox County Mayor as a stepping stone. I wanted to do the best job that I could. I got in this because I was worried about the future, worried about where America was going to go from my kids and my grandkids. You know, and for me, I still have that passion. Whether or not it's in politics, I don't know. Certainly if there's an opportunity to do something where I feel that my skill set,

my abilities are best utilized, wonderful, but, Otherwise, I'm just going to have to play it by here. See, you just want everybody over to ask for that more because you're the exact type of person that people want in that office, someone who doesn't really want it. And I have to say, like, I've been in Knox County. Everybody loves you. Everybody loves you. Every age. I've never seen anything like it.

I have never seen. If there were people who didn't like you, they, like, stayed under the woodwork. They did not come out. Well, the people at the Tesla dealership last weekend didn't like you very much. Oh, they were out of town. You know that. I don't actually think they were from Knox County. thought they were busted. Yeah, they had to bust them in. Okay, second question. What, because we're all

going to pull for this match to happen and whatever we can do to help to make it happen, you know, we are all in, I'm all in for this. What, because Taylor Swift has swifties. But what does Kane have? What are your fans called? Uh, so when I was in WWE, they were actually called Canaanites. Okay. That's what I was wondering. So, yeah, we can do that. We can come up with catchy nickname. Frankly, frankly, I've seen a lot of nicknames for Governor Walls on social media and none of them very flattering, by the way. So might be a lot of fun to come up with a nickname for his fans. Yeah, you wouldn't put that in your ex profile. Like, Kana and I, you totally would. But what I've seen from him, you wouldn't necessarily, you wouldn't put that in there. Well, I love that

you did this because I think your response to Governor Walls, I mean, you know, we joke about and I really want this to happen. I really mean that from the bottom of my heart. But I think it also, there's the graphic one, it's thrown up the graphics. See, the graphics made. This is official. It's done. Governor Walsh just needs to answer and say yes. It's all in good fun. But

I love that your response really helped to highlight how crazy this has gotten since the election. I mean, wasn't he like the folksy he was the guy who was supposed to make them look more human? And instead he made him look like jack wagons. Like you did

the wrong thing to help governor you did the wrong thing and they needed to be more like you yeah well what's happened i think is the pendulum is completely swung now again you know their their consultants are saying you know guys we need to switch from being effeminate males to masculine males gotta be masculine now they don't know how to be masculine males yeah you know you don't you don't get on tv and talk smack you don't do all those things you're just a self-confident self-assured person that's really what masculinity is that's just strong people you know but What the left wants, obviously, is they want people they can control. They want weak-minded people who are going to follow the herd.

You know, for me, I want people to think for themselves. I want them to think critically. I don't want them because I say something to automatically believe it, right? I want people to look and say, okay, yeah, what he's saying is right. You know, but on the left, they want that because when you start looking at their policies and you start looking at what they're saying, if you actually take the next step, past the superficial, oh, this sounds great, you realize it's absolutely a certain. In the end, it can be very destructive.

Very much so. Well, I love that you're, I love that you have this offer on the table. I really want Governor Wallace to accept it. We're going to maybe very politely in a friendly way, harass them on social media to see if we can just like help. I don't know. I always want to make it happen. But mayor of Knox County, Glenn Jacobs came from WWE.

It is a pleasure to know you, sir. And I'm pulling for this to happen. Thank you for everything. you do for for being such a good official like you're like the storybook elected official if we could just clone you somehow and put you in other offices that would be great but we really appreciate what you do and what you stand for thank you mayor thanks dana have a good one you too subscribe to the dana show podcast because who says you can't make fun of people while staying informed on your own personal time subscribe on youtube apple or wherever you get your podcast welcome back to the program

Dana Lash with you. I think that whoever added Jeffrey Goldberg in that piece, the Atlantic piece about accidentally looping him into a signal threat about Yemen. I think they meant to add Joshua Geltzer, who is the,

who's in the DNI. He works in national security. He's one of the folks there. I mean, that's what I think happened. Brian Hughes, who speaks for the National Security Council, said that he confirmed the veracity of the group and said it appears to be an authentic message chain.

We're reviewing how an inadvertent number was added. The threat is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to troops or national security. So more on this coming. Today and stupidity in the meantime. All right. Democrat from the Virgin Islands, Stacey Plaskett. She had this to say, well, just play at one. Go ahead.

I'm concerned about how they are conducting their immigration deportation policies. You are. Seizing of American citizens without due process. No, no, no, no. Seizing of American citizens. Many of these people may not be American citizens. They are immigrants, whether they are here illegally. No, sorry. There's a distinction there.

It's not whether they're here illegally. Yeah, certain words invoke different legal actions. So we've got to be sensitive to that. I will be on Ingram's show tonight on Fox. Make sure you sign up at YouTube, Facebook, Substack, back tomorrow.
