Starting point is 00:00:01 Welcome back to the program. Daniel Lash with you. We're at the bottom of this second hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can also check out the Simulcash Channel 347 DirecTV. Started the program diving into all of the latest with Iran and the president's strategy. And then, of course, the narrative battle because it seems that there's some within the administration that are trying to pull the president one way. And as we've discussed, he's been entirely consistent on the issue of Iran since doing the math can.
Starting point is 00:00:28 I think we before we were alive. I think that's how consistent. that he has been on the issue of Iran. And of course, with the passing of late Senator Lindsey Graham, and then you had Benjamin Nanyahu, who visited D.C. and was meeting with the president yesterday. And then, of course, the United States returning fire and responding to Iran's continued 47-plus years of aggression.
Starting point is 00:00:51 So what's next? What is the strategy forward? There are some in the United States that want the president to finish the job. There are others that are kind of dragging along, and it seems like that's where we're getting mission creep. to go with this, we're going to speak with General Keith Kellogg. He is a retired Army lieutenant. Of course, he served with, he served in the president's first administration. It was a national security advisor. He joins us now via video. General, pleasure to have you. And I wanted to kind of get your, you know, kind of 30,000 foot view on this because POTUS was when all of this began, he had really clear trajectory. He had a really clear mission. And then somewhere along the way, I think there were a lot of, you know, the old saying, a lot of cooks spoil the broth. What can you tell us with where everything stands now? And if you could guess, where do you think that the president's going to go?
Starting point is 00:01:37 Well, thanks, Dana. It's good to be with you. Where I think we're at right now, it's almost like a pause exit, almost like a stalemate right now, which is really unfortunate. And I think that's because there's maybe advisors around the president. And I would tell them, go with your instincts. That are telling them, well, diplomacy really counts is going to help. You got to really understand the Iranians and what they mean by diplomacy. You know, their idea of diplomacy is not to solve the problem, but to survive the problem.
Starting point is 00:02:05 And you have to go to a point where it puts them at risk. And that may mean some pretty hard decisions for the president to make. And I think the reason why there's a lot of Americans that maybe don't support what's happening is it's been drawn out. It's been taking its time to get solved. And you want to get to a point of solution with the problem with Iran. Look, what he did at the start is right, making sure that, they don't get or have a chance to get to a nuclear weapon.
Starting point is 00:02:31 It's not for our generation. It's for the grandkids' generation and the children's generation, well into the future. And that's what he's trying to do right now, because you do not want to have a nuclear weapon, another one besides Israel having one in the Middle East. It's totally destabilizing. The Saudis have already said, if the Iranians are able to get a nuclear weapon, buy one or make one, they're getting a one too, and the Emirates will get one. So Ball Rainey's will give it.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Everybody will everybody in the Middle East will have a nuclear weapon and it's totally destabilizing to the region. So the president has the right instincts for what he's done. I think carrying through is important. What does that mean? That means you have to change your plan and go something strategically what you're going to do to affect the outcome. I think bombing alone won't get you there.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Titt for tat won't get you there. They will survive that. Look what the Brits did in World War II. When the Germans threw the Blitz thought they could bomb them. into surrender. They didn't. That never works. When I was in the first Gulf War, we had an air campaign of 30 days to bring the Iraqis to their feet. I was sitting outside on the berm, ready to go into Iraq and Kuwait once that was accomplished. They did never do it. So we crossed the brum, went into Iraq, within 48 hours, I was on the Euphrates River, and within 100 hours, the Iraqis said enough of this.
Starting point is 00:03:55 And you've got to think like that. So what does that mean? How do you get to change? That means you have to do something strategically to make them change their idea. If that means boots on the ground, and I do not mean invading Iran, I have never said that. That is too hard to push. But you could take things, for an example, like taking Karg Island, which is 90% of their industrial output. It also would help with China, because the vast majority of that oil goes to China. Or you go and take Lack Island, which is the command and control center in the Strait of Hormuz.
Starting point is 00:04:28 You have to do something dramatic about it. But trading blows tit for tat. I think we're just kind of wasting time. And they'll weather the storm. They do that because that's how they think. And right now, if I would look at like their foreign minister or Rashi, he wrote a book on diplomacy. They're falling in exactly what he said to do.
Starting point is 00:04:45 And I wouldn't fall into that trap. And unfortunately, I think we're heading that way. And I think the American people see that as well. And I think you want President Trump to break that cycle. But go to the American people. And tell him why you're doing that. It's sort of like Richard Nixon during the Vietnam War. He went to the American people multiple times to tell him what he was doing and what was happening.
Starting point is 00:05:08 That needs to be done. You've got to bring him along. I think if he does that, whatever his decision is, he brings the American people with him, we're going to be just fine. We're talking with General Keith Kellogg for those just joining. And one of the things I think that the President General has working to his advantage is that throughout his first term and even his second term, Whenever there has been any kind of conflict, he gets in and he gets out. We look at Venezuela. We look at what's happened elsewhere.
Starting point is 00:05:33 He gets in and he gets out. And he's maintained, you know, that commitment of no long engagement where you, you know, any kind of mission creep, anything like that. He's kept his word. So I think, in your estimation, do you agree that that's probably bought him a lot of credibility with Americans, especially if he's transparent in the manner you're suggesting? Well, every enemy is different data. And so you can't just have one go like the next one as well. These guys are different people.
Starting point is 00:05:59 I mean, the Iranians have all these had a philosophy going back to the Persians of what they were going to do. So you can't treat it like when we went after Soleimani or went into Venezuela and got up Maduro. Remember, when you look at Delci Rodriguez is still there. She was a proponent of Maduro. Now, she's changed her views quite a bit. But I think the American people have it, not because it was short term, because it was decisive. And now you're looking at will. Do you have the will to pull this off?
Starting point is 00:06:28 And every situation is a little bit different. And I would say if this is going to get extended, then go to the American people and explain it to them what you're doing. The American people are pretty damn good in a fight. And they understand that. I think that needs to be what needs to be done. He's got credibility with the American people. And he's got that through his means of communication. And he should just extend that and extend what he's going to do in Iran and make it something that's good and viable.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Look, when you get into situations like this, it's not only the military, it's the economic as well, the political as well. And you have to bring all of them together to get to a solution. The Iranians know that. They're going to try to drag this out. They get through the midterms if they can. And they're not going to be pliable unless you make them pliable. And, of course, you also have Russia and China helping Iran as well, which is also something that has to factor into this, which then brings us back, you know, to the Kargai Island issue, which,
Starting point is 00:07:24 I think a lot of, I do think the administration needs to make that case if that's an eventuality or if that's something on the table. And going by all the reports from the discussions that they had yesterday, it seems like that's something that's on the table. What would that look like? Because it looks like that, for my estimation, that could be pretty quick and divisive and decisive that action. Well, Carg Island, we use that as an example. You know, 16 miles offshore. You can defend it pretty well. You take a little bit of a fight to get in there.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I would use something like the 82nd Airborne Division with one of the 16th Airborne Division with one of, you know, it's 16 miles offshore. its brigades to go in and take the island. Now you own something the other side needs. And that's an economic piece. And oh by the way it has secondary effects because the vast majority of the oil, which is 90% of the oil that comes out of Iran, goes to China. Now you bring China in play. You say if you really need our help with this, you need to help us decide for these guys to stop fighting. And I think that's what they need to think through. Right now we're going to hit for tat militarily. That is not going to, it's not going to work. I think that's not going to work. I think you can try and do that.
Starting point is 00:08:26 It's going to be a non-starter. Look, sooner or later, you have to do sort of like the Romans did. Sooner or later, you have to put soldiers in the mud. That gets your decisive end to a fight. Is it hard? Of course it is. There's a risk. Of course there is.
Starting point is 00:08:41 But if you go to the American people and explain it to them, I would lay you money. You're going to get support. You're not going to get all the support because there's always people out there that will never support what President Trump does. You know, they call that TDS, the Trump derangement syndrome. Just accept that and go to the people and say, this is what we're going to try to do. I wanted to ask you, General, about these stories that I keep seeing where they talk about the shrinking weapons stockpile. For instance, Washington Post has this headline.
Starting point is 00:09:09 It's testing the Pentagon's new strategy. It feels like this isn't something new. This seems familiar. Like, we read about this during the Biden administration. How true is this? And if it is even remotely true, is this something that can be replenished, relatively? quickly because I know that we have a lot of those firms here in the United States with American jobs that make this stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Yeah, we do. But Dana, I will tell you, they're partially right on this. When you make a Patriot missile, you don't make them like an assembly on them with a car. It takes two years, two years to make it. And then you've distributed what it takes to make it. For example, Raytheon may build one part, Lockheed Martin, build another. The Pack three secret warheads are built by Boeing and only so many. month. So I think we need to take that in consideration and figure out how do we beat that.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Now when it comes to the amount of systems, there's a thing in the military called cross-leveling. So you take from one theater of operations to the Far East and you move to a second theater of operations being sentcom. And then you do that to make sure you have the weapons available. And then you need to understand that you go from the high-end weapons patriot to lower or middle-level weapons because you have more of those. So right now by usage of of course we're using a lot. And if you don't make them right away, it's sort of like the example I used
Starting point is 00:10:29 is the Liberty ships in World War II. We started cranking those out really, really quick. They were not great ships, but allowed us to move cargo overseas in the European theater. So it was a short-term solution to a long-range problem. And we need to do that with our defense industrial base.
Starting point is 00:10:45 We need to talk to the Raytheons and the Boeing's and everybody else involved. We do not tolerate, will not tolerate, not tolerate something about you taking two years to develop and make a system. We're throwing money at it right now. They need to get that in their head how it's going to be done. Or you go to other suppliers and you build that supply chain, which is a little bit of the problem right now. We do not have a robust supply chain because we never thought we'd be in a situation like we are right now. Well, we are. And now we have to figure out how to get out of it. How to get out of it.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Indeed. Last question for a general. And I appreciate your time. You've been, you've advised the Trump administration. You've been there through some of these, some of the decisions that we've talked about. You've been right there with the president helping to determine the outcomes of this. What is your take on the stories about the division within the president's own administration, you know, his own kitchen cabinet? Is this something that Americans should be worried about? Do you think that this is maybe kind of perhaps, you know, pulling on the president from, from achieving the objective that he was elected to achieve? Yeah, I think there's, I believe there's probably ten.
Starting point is 00:11:52 which is normal, but I think the tension is the other way in the sense that he has the instincts go one direction and their instincts are really good. And they're kind of pulling back a little bit because a lot of his advisors, I believe, don't have the capacity to accept risk and anything that's going on right now. So they look at the easy way out. You know, I'll give you a good example. In the first term, when, and I was there and I watched it happen, when we decided to move the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, he made that call.
Starting point is 00:12:25 That had been delayed over 37 times because the President had the authority to delay that transfer every six months. Well, he did it the first time, but the second time, he didn't. He moved the embassy. Well, there were people in the room to include the Secretary of State at the time that it would cause a third intifada. Well, it didn't. He went with his instincts.
Starting point is 00:12:47 And why was it done 37 times before a delay? because people get scared. You get in a bureaucratic environment, and people can't absorb or attend to that risk. And that's probably what we're seeing right now. People say, boy, if you put boots on their ground, that's going to be a terrible thing for the American people. Go to them.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Tell them what you're doing. And I think when that happens, you're going to solve the problem. There you go. General Keith Kellogg, always appreciate your insight. Thank you, not only for your service to our country, but also continuing to serve the country by breaking it down so everybody can understand it. We appreciate you. God bless.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Thank you, sir. We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up the second hour, heading into our third and we're capitalists. We can't do it without the people who make the program possible. And one of those entities is our friends over at Relief Factor. There is a lot out there in the supplement industry.

Starting point is 00:14:48 talk with one of their friendly U.S.-based team members and find out if relief factor can help you get back to doing what you love. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. London's population sees its first real fall for 37 years as about half a million have moved to other parts of the UK. It's the first decline since the 80s. I mean, outside of the coronavirus pandemic, their population has shrunk by, I mean, really like over 420,000. Who would want to live there? I mean, it's expensive. It's getting taken over.
Starting point is 00:15:27 There's no one order. I mean, hell, you can't even go and have a proper steak knife. It's ridiculous. So, I mean, who would be, you know, be surprised at that? Yeah, that's where New York is going to go. Gene Gibson, who is known as one of the Rosie the Riveters passed away at the age of 100. She and her fellow Rosies, they were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of the nation's highest civilian honors
Starting point is 00:15:50 during their work and determination to help secure victory in World War II. So very interesting story. My great-grandmother was one who worked in the factories in St. Louis doing the same thing. So it's a very interesting legacy. Let's see, divided Fed holds rates,
Starting point is 00:16:05 interest rates, steady. Three members voted to hike. Why? Why? I hate everything. I hate everything. Why vote to hide the... I'm not even going to talk about... this. I'm just going to sit here and get mad and I'm going to get all of you mad.
Starting point is 00:16:21 So, okay, I'm really confused about this. Harrisburg police have cracked down on what they say are illegal speak-eis. What is an illegal speak-easy? I mean, that's a kind of, A, it's a redundant term. Speak-easy is, you know, signals that it is illegal. But also liquor's legal. How is it? They said, oh, they're unpermitted bars. I like the idea of an unpermitted bar. Frankly, I don't care. I mean, if I had a basement, I'd operate one out of it just because. So they said, apparently, it's a big issue. They're cracking down on unpermitted bars. What makes a bar unpermitted? I mean, what if someone's giving you a donation for the hooch? And you're just like everybody goes in and someone provides the hooch, everybody pitches in. I mean, that sounds American to me.
Starting point is 00:17:10 That sounds American. You know what, dare I say, that sounds like good old-fashioned neighborhood. That does not sound like an illegal bar or an unprecedented. Que my Erling Holland mocking face. A mysterious object in NASA, in a NASA Mars photo ignites theories of extraterrestrial life. Please, dear God, let aliens come and declare war on our planet because I want something good to do. It's a UFO researcher who says they think it's an alien missile.
Starting point is 00:17:37 It's basically a blur in the ground and nobody knows what it is. We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us. As we move, we also have days of these United States. these United States, our partners that bring you the program. It's our friends over at ghostbed. Okay. Every place that we stayed when we were traveling was nice. It was not my ghost bed mattress. So I'm a brat. And this company needs to stat make a portable mattress for me because I'm already done. I'm like, I need my ghost bed mattress. If you are not sleeping on a ghost bed, you might as well be sleeping on a hobo peacot. I don't know. I'm just saying it. Don't Google that. Don't Google it.
Starting point is 00:18:12 it is the best made mattress out there. I say this is somebody who spent a sinful amount on a boozy brand and that was trash. Ghostbed is just the absolute best. First off, they have cooling tech built into every mattress. I don't know if you knew this or not. Cooling tech in every single mattress where everybody else charges you extra for it, they don't at Ghostbed because it's just part of, it's just what they're part of their whole mattress. The construction's better.

A little Morrissey to just bring us back in. Dana Lash here with you. I'm very much in that mood, man. Just bring on the dark wave. We are at the bottom of this first hour. You can go find us over on the sub-stack as well. We're going to come back on this Iran stuff because I, like I said,
Starting point is 00:19:50 I saw this article. They're really, really trying so hard to pressure Trump and they're trying to make it look like his, his, I don't know, I think somebody in his administration is leaking and acting like, oh, we're so divided. They're actively leaking on him at this point. And it's different from them leaking on him the first administration because that, I just think, was a bunch of fame horrors who were just trying to get their names in the press. Whereas I think the people who are leaking on POTUS now, they're trying to get their name in the press for a different reason. I think that they're trying to maneuver to take over as his influence wanes going into 2028. Because in order for a new Republican ascendancy, you have to get rid of the old guard,
Starting point is 00:20:27 right? And that's what some of this is. So much of this is posturing for 28. But I have to say, like I tweeted earlier, the establishment types that railed against POTUS, who said, some pretty heinous things about him and wormed their way back into the cap and into his administration anyway, they need to stop kissing mullah ass with these Obama policies. And that's exactly what it is. We've talked about it. I've written about it. You know, if there's any educational welfare queen out there whose Google is broken, tough luck for you. But, I mean, we've discussed it quite at length. They're pretty much indistinguishable from what the Obama policies are. And this is how stuff gets dragged out. Stop undermining POTUS and let the man who is actually elected to do the job,
Starting point is 00:21:07 do the damn job. That's it. We didn't vote for people trying to get a popularity contest with a bunch of goat fornicators that are calling the shots with the IRGC. We elected Trump. Big difference. So I'm going to come back to this. Speaking of elections, I need to touch on this narrative that's emerging out of Texas. If you are a subscriber over to Substack, you also have this.
Starting point is 00:21:33 So the headline is Republicans shouldn't be dumb about Ken Parenthood. Paxton. I'm going to say things that might be unpopular. For those people who are weak and pathetic with super sensitive, you know, constitutions, the drive-by trolls that are funded by China's algorithm, they may want to take a step back from this one. So the New York Times have this hand-wringing piece about Ken Paxton and GOP donors, right? And they're calling it, you know, this peculiar dynamic in Texas where you have two of the bigger money groups, the Senate Leadership Fund and, you know, the bagger group that are hoping that one and not the other is the one that opens the wallet and helps out with Paxton. Because Tala Rico is raising money, but Democrats have a major problem with fundraising right now.
Starting point is 00:22:17 And if you're wondering why Democrats have a major problem with fundraising right now, just go and look at the terrorist who is the mayor of New York City. Go and look at some of the other terrorists that are running for office in places like Lil Mogadishu up in Minnesota and some of these other areas. And the rhetoric that they're pushing. voters don't really like it, including voters on the Democrat side, who just want commie-light policies without actually concentration camps. So this issue of money with Democrats is a big deal, but the media is not focusing on that as much because they want to make it look like Ken Paxton, who is running for Senate in
Starting point is 00:22:53 John Cornyn's seat now because he ousted the incumbent. They want to make it look like he's in dire straits. And they're talking about, oh, well, you know, the problem is, you know, it's a unique situation, they're holding their cards, et cetera. I wrote that if there is an issue in the Senate race, it is going to be of the Republicans' own making. And the Republicans are really, really good at deusing the bed. Oh my gosh, if it was, if ducing the bed was an Olympic sport, Republicans would be the only gold medal winners since its inception. Because nobody's better than taking a dump in the bet, except for Amber Hurd, then the Republican Party. They're so good at it. So, Cornyn, he was challenged
Starting point is 00:23:38 because he wasn't delivering and voters wanted him gone. Paxton was the only candidate that was like actually ready and prepared to step into the ring. And Paxton can win in the general. But Paxton won't win in the general if Republicans choose to give it over to that demonic Ned Flanders, aka James Telerico. So yes, Paxton's going through a divorce. Okay. Yes, Paxton has a girlfriend. Okay. Yes, he was exonerated of impeachment, of the accusations during his impeachment trial. He was exonerated.
Starting point is 00:24:09 So that doesn't hold any water. Here's the question for all of those people out there that are hemming and hind and acting like this is some kind of existential crisis. Is Paxton's issue with his failed marriage enough of a reason to yeat your vote into the ether so we get that plastic lawn flammal? James Telerico? Is it? That's the question. Is that issue with him enough to yeat your vote into hell? It's a serious question.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I'm being incredibly serious. Mind the, you know, flora and fauna of my language. I'm being very serious. Is it? I mean, why should voters be punished if you don't like his personal life? That's not my problem. Why should we have to suffer the Democrats, little Lord Fauntleroy freak because of it. I mean, I don't care. Let me be very, very clear.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I do not care if Ken Paxton club's baby seals behind a Buckees. I don't care. I don't care if he does. I choose a candidate that votes my issues over the guy that pushes gun control, backs Islamists, and wants men and women's bathrooms. Clubbing baby seals behind a Buckees isn't anywhere near as bad. as what Tala Rico wants to do and already has supported. Your vote is not an endorsement of their personal life. That's a sciop being perpetrated upon you. Your vote isn't an endorsement for or a declaration of who you think the next Pope should be. It is a vote for a vessel to carry out your agenda.
Starting point is 00:25:58 That's all it is. And this is to carry your agenda through the Senate, period. It's a great sciop to shame voters into either staying home or throwing their vote away by misrepresenting what a vote actually is and what it means. And then you have these holier-than-now establishment types who lost races, and they still expect you to kiss the ring. and they want to be whined and dine with a nice Italian cab over a steak dinner. That's not going to happen because you've got a skibbity win elections to call the shots, kidlets. That's what has to happen. It's true.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Yeah, you do. You got to skibody win that stuff. I'm going to make that word unattractor forever. Now, that's my goal. Now, in this piece, the New York Times actually resolves its own issue because they say, now listen to this. They bury this way down at the end. They go, well, it's a story.
Starting point is 00:27:01 some extent, national Democrats are experiencing the same paralysis as Republicans. And it gets into Tala. Tala Rico can raise a little bit more money himself than some of these other dandies out there. But by and large, they're all still on the same struggle bus. And they get into, they're like, yes, you know, all of these other big Republican groups are going to fund Paxton, et cetera. So the GOP, they're going to open their wallets because they don't want to fudge up a Senate race by being bitter tightwads, especially since we're all watching them. right? And nobody wants to donate their money on the Democrat side to some SIS, whatever, Islamic-Simping terror, like Palm Squad that's going to turn their cities into feces and needles capitals of the world, allo, California. So I'm not really super hyper-wired about the
Starting point is 00:27:49 Paxton race, but I am completely prepared to go after the Republican establishment types who are still nursing butt hurt over getting beaten. I see them with that. their little stuff on Facebook and all those stuff. It's not the winner. It's not anybody else's responsibility to bring anybody else to the table, right? We're all big kids here. You got to win elections if you want to call the shots. So I'm not exactly worried.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I just don't want to see Republicans be stupid about those stuff. You're being sci-opt into thinking that you're voting for some kind of Messiah, and that's exactly not at all what's happening. You're voting for a vessel in which you put your agenda and then you scoge them down the downfield. That's how it is. That's all it is. Don't be siop into thinking something different so that you throw your vote away because then you're just being a tool for the left. That's the truth of it. So a couple of other things to hit as well. In addition, oh, by the way, the mail outreach for Democrats. I don't think they've gotten any better since Harris and what's his face, Waltz,
Starting point is 00:29:00 Remember when they had all the people that they were do what they, I guess, what the left considered manly things. And they had this obviously gay dude. No offense to gay dudes, but he was not like, he was one of the gay dudes that could not be, you know he doesn't chop wood, right? You know that guy doesn't wear flannel and chop wood. He's one of them. I mean, I am made of more jokes, Kane. I mean, we can go further. Don't do that to me.
Starting point is 00:29:27 But it's like they get these people out here, these, these, these. caricatures of what they think masculinity is. Remember, they had the one guy who was like, I eat carburetors for breakfast. And I just felt like that happy Gilmore scene, like you eat carburetors for breakfast. What's the matter with you? And they were trying so hard to be dudes and like, you know, what's up fellow dudes like that? And it just was horrible. So the Democrats have not gotten any better. So for instance, like Tala Rico was sharing the fact that he had a, he reposted this thing where he had a real life action figure, I guess, of a masked Fauci. How much testosterone did you have to trade to get that? I'm curious. All of it. Yeah, all of it. The Democratic Party approval rating amongst men, according to a Quinnipiac poll taken July 23rd through the 27th, 71% disapproved, 20% approved. Now, I haven't broken out the cross tabs of that, but honestly, that tracks from everything that I've seen. They don't have anybody. They think masculinity is toxic, so they don't have anyone that they can actually use. And the normal Democrats that they kind of have, they
Starting point is 00:30:31 excoriate. Like John Futterman, they can't stand him. Josh Shapiro was still pretty lefty, but he's Jewish and they can't stand that. So he's, you know, and then Andy Bashir, they're terrified of him. He's still a lefty, but he's not nuts. He's still nuts, but not nuts, nuts, but not nuts, and they don't want to have, they don't want to put him out there either. So what are they going to do? I don't know what they're going to do, but they're having trouble with the dudes. I would just think you're having trouble with the women as well. Like, how do you look at somebody like James Tolariko and think, hmm, I'm going to vote for that? Right? Like, it's like natural birth control. You look at it and you're like, mm, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:31:12 You know what I mean? I got why. That's, I don't know. I think that there's some psychology there. Nobody, I don't know, as a woman, I wouldn't want to vote for a man that I think I could be an arm wrestling. I just don't want that. I don't want to vote for a man that I think I could actually overpower. If I feel like I can overpower you, I just can't. Right? You know what I mean? I think that's, you know, I just, and that somehow translates over into my thoughts on your inability to lead in elected office or do anything in elected office. I feel like that's a fair assessment. I don't feel like that I am the only woman that looks at it that way either. We have more to get to as we move and conclude this third hour, our partners that make the program possible.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Oh, my gosh. Florida Man dressed as Superman.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Ended up robbing this business of power tools. Actually, he was a boat. So he was dressed as Superman. He stole a bunch of power tools off a boat, according to police. 57-year-old James Tidwell admitted to the theft. It was off a boat in Ruskin. He was charged with burglar of an unoccupied conveyance and petty theft. It was a boat anchored behind a house and Ruskin when they've got the camera footage.
Starting point is 00:34:00 He was dressed up as Superman. He's like, yeah, I went on the boat, but I only took three things. Like the police were going to go, oh, only three. Oh, okay, are bad. Like, you're free to go. No big. No big whoop. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:34:13 No, that's not how it works. So, yeah, he immediately was taken into prison. That's this, why would you? He only took three things. You know why. That's all I could carry. Yeah, I was like if he, he'd have more. He'd probably take more if he could.
Starting point is 00:34:26 I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure he would have, yeah. I mean, he's superman. He can carry a lot of stuff, right? You know? Let's see. Oh, can I, I got to do this one. This is Florida woman Amber, who sent this.
Starting point is 00:34:38 A Florida man was arrested after he purchased a kilo of cocaine in the mail. What? Mail order cocaine. No, you can't, actually. That's what he discovered. Lee County man, he's facing some felony charges after detectives intercepted a package that was containing more than one kilo of cocaine that was sent through the U.S. Postal Service. And the postal workers were the ones who alerted law enforcement about a suspicious package that was believed to have contained the illegal narcotics. And it was being delivered to a resident in Lee Acres.
Starting point is 00:35:12 and so his name is Sergio Davia and they arrived at his residence and they watched him get the package and then he left the house and they conducted a traffic stop shortly thereafter he did try to throw the package out of the vehicle's window in front of them on camera because the dashboard camera and then he was like I don't know I saw that box in the road too they're like you put it there we watch you literally shove it out of the driver's side window
Starting point is 00:35:42 onto the road and you put it there. So they haven't that's, we don't have any other details, but he was charged with cocaine trafficking, tampering with evidence. I'm sure that there's probably another one because isn't, there's always another charge if you use the postal service. There's like another, it's like another felony or something. So yeah, I'm sure he's going to have that. And let's see, that's like I got a couple of others here. Oh, well, there's a Florida in May that one $800 million mega millions jackpot. You know how much of the, the, the, that the government's going to take it that in tax, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Yeah, he gets to claim 800 million asterisk, 800 million jackpot. It's not going to be 800 million. So much of that is, in fact, I think he's only going to end up, I mean, I think they're going to take like several hundred million from him. Like Sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Ready? No. His approval rate is 30.
Starting point is 00:36:40 his diaper's always dirty I think the guy's insane he ain't no stable genius got a teeny tiny but he doesn't have a brain I hate her nail color The reflecting pool Why do these people do this?
Starting point is 00:36:58 It can't help it Like who sits there and I'm like you know what I think I want to do? I think I want to recall myself singing a song and the camera look up maybe I'm clever It's not it just can you do cringe because I did. We all did. We're in hell now. I was just joking. I'm like, I think I believe in Euthanasia for her. And then Steve was like, that's my punk band name. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:37:24 Youth in Asia is so great. Dana violent speech, choke to death. No, it's not. I, was she ever funny? No, she wasn't. The only reason she was ever famous is because for a very short period of time, she was Madonna's BFF. That was it. That was it. That literally was all she ever. She was a clinger on. And Madonna's wake. I'm not like, you know, celebrating and acting like Madonna is some saint or anything,
Starting point is 00:37:53 but I'm just saying she was a global superstar. It's the only reason Rosie O'Donnell's known. It's like how Taylor Swift has like little friends that she immediately unfriends a couple of years later. Same thing. It's the same thing. It's the same thing as that. Between her and who's the other,
Starting point is 00:38:08 who's that other broad that was in, the witch movie oh, oh, uh, hocus pocus. Oh, Bet Midler. Bet Midler. Midler.
Starting point is 00:38:23 I think they're the same person. Right? And then Joy Behar, they're all like the same. Yeah. Cut from the same cloth. I was going to say like like a rag from a hobo's peacock,
Starting point is 00:38:36 but sure, that also works. I'm not as artful with my words. I'm just telling you. I've got... So I have a couple stories. One is so politically incorrect. I actually don't know if I can share it on air.
Starting point is 00:38:52 And I'm on the struggle bus so badly. Because I am so incredibly transparent with everything. I don't know if you know what... It's about... Hang on. Let me tell... That's what it was about. See, I don't know if I can say that, right?
Starting point is 00:39:10 Well, not the way you just said it. No, I wouldn't say... I wouldn't say that. But, you know. Thank you. Right. I'm just saying. So I just feel like this goes with her.
Starting point is 00:39:23 If you don't like him so much, then move. Do something. Go to Canada and get one. You know what? You can go to Canada and get one of those cozy little pods, take a nap. Right? Long, long nap. It looks like one of the pods from Wally.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Just hop in there and let that door close. And, Dana, you're being so mean. I'm not really, though. No. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. Well, a circus performer was accidentally shot in the neck with an arrow at a county fair. Anna Tavares was performing a crossbow sharpsheating act when she accidentally shot her partner,
Starting point is 00:40:04 Edward Rangel, in the neck with an arrow. This was in Middletown, New York. It was an accident. It happened Friday night at the Orange County Fair in Middletown, northwest of New York City. 42 and 38, both of them respectively. Tava and then Rangel, they were both of Wisconsin. They were performing their crossbow sharpshooting act. And she hit him in the neck with an arrow as he held up a foam target.
Starting point is 00:40:29 He was airlifted to a hospital and stable condition. They canceled the whole circus for the night. The ringmaster said that the dude was luckily struck on the side of his neck where there's mostly soft tissue and no major blood vessels. Yeah, yeah, yeah. he's okay. I mean, don't, you know, Candy Land's mommy sleuths. They're going to get up there and have big time fun with this. But they said that he's going to continue performing after, you know, he heals up and, you know, can do normal things again. So, you know, a school trip got so out of hand. They had to apologize to the entire country of Thailand. What? Yeah. The students were talking so loud on the sky train. A local woman asked them to quiet down. And then a group of Italian students. And then they, she told them they needed manners. And apparently then the local woman snapped.
Starting point is 00:41:23 And the students said, sorry for bringing money to your country. And then it went from there. And one of them told her, your mom. And it just got, I mean, why are you arguing with a group of teenagers on that? They're literally tourists, okay? Like, unclench your butt for five seconds. I don't know. Do I think the country needed, they need to apologize to the country?
Starting point is 00:41:42 No. I don't think they did. She just seems she seemed like a Karen, if I'm being real. Somebody in Missouri is missing a kangaroo. They're using drones to search for it. This is such a Missouri. Missouri is like the Midwest Florida. So they said that there's a kangaroo in the loose in Southeast Missouri.
Starting point is 00:42:01 And they're like, if you see them, don't, don't like contact the owners immediately. It's in the Nestle Mine area. Any other railroad tracks, it's the last place they were seen. His name is Rufus. He went missing in Bloomfield. and the family's been searching nonstop for their kangaroo. So hopefully they'll find him. Coming up, the latest with Iran and POTUS's strategies.
