Can I just say I'm a little aggravated and not just because I'm on a moundal amount of steroids right now for an inner ear infection. And then all of the crazy antibiotics for my eye, because as you know, I'm basically pirating it up today. Well, all week, really. That's like the truth of it. My dog almost tore my eye out. That's the truth of it. So we have all of these issues. And the thing that really gets me with the Illinois

story is the number of people that Democrat operatives that are trying to insist that this is, that the raid that happened and the subsequent investigation, they're trying to act like it's null and void. And one of the things I got to say that they're using as a way to do it is this stuff with Tala RICO and Paxton, which I was hesitant about that story, as you can tell, for a reason. My gut is never wrong on this stuff.

And it's not, you know, anything to do with the people involved. I'm just like, some things don't pan out and I want to be careful. Because what are they doing now? They are trying to say, well, look at that witch hunt that they had with Paxton and Tala, or with Tala RICO. And he wasn't in this mental institution, et cetera, et cetera. will see Ilan Omar, same thing. They're doing the same thing to her. I kid you not. I have seen that all over the internet. Now here's, and then they're, they're trying to say, if you, if you're really, if you're really upset, you're going to go after the guy in the White House.

I mean, he's, you know, he's convicted, et cetera. I am not even about to hear this nonsense from these people. And here's why. Because the investigation, by the way, in Illinois Omar was something that was ongoing under Joe Biden. It's an investigation that began in 2019 and it began what started at all was election, was her campaign donations. People were very,

it started tipping, it started really raising red flags when she was taking her campaign money and using it to pay an attorney that wasn't, related to a campaign expenditure. And I know that you guys know a lot about campaign finance law, et cetera, but every state,

you know, every state also has oversight into this. And this was, Michigan also has oversight into this. Minnesota has oversight into it. Every state, Texas has over it. You have your federal elections and then you have your state board of elections and campaign finance, et cetera. Everybody follows this stuff. And with Omar, her expenditure.

if you remember, were red flagging up to the watchdogs that were kind of, you know, they were trying to figure out what was happening. They were trying to figure out why is it that we are seeing these, because they have to file them. Why are we seeing these campaign expenditures for things like a divorce attorney and things like that? Then they started asking questions. It led to the examination of her,

relationship with her spouse at the time, and it went from there. That's how this started. It didn't start with some Trump, it wasn't a witch hunt anyway, but it didn't start with some kind of Trump witch hunt. The whole thing started with literally campaign finance, and that was the whole point of it. And people wanted to figure out where this money was going. You had other Democrats, maybe some of them were hostile towards her, whatever. However, it came out, it came out. And so you had the Minnesota Board of Elections that find her. And then the investigation continued from there. The, as I noted yesterday, the warrant that was executed was a judicially obtained warrant. And you have to have probable cause for these things. You can't just go and, you know, you can't just go and do this and

not have some sort of reason for doing it. So there was probable cause there. And this is all the stuff that they, you know, they outline in the, in the warrant, they outline this. So this idea that it was just a witch hunt is stupid. Now people say, well, yeah, but the Mar-a-Lago raid. The Mar-a-Lago raid, can I just correct this for a minute? As you can tell this has been making me mad all night?

Can I just correct this for a minute? The Mar-a-Lago raid, that was, and yes, they got a warning. But here's the difference. If you guys remember how this panned out, the Mar-a-Lago raid was them going after documents that later the Trump attorneys proved they were already in the process of returning, that whole process of returning these presidential documents with the National Archives. They were already in the process of doing this. and so at best maybe you could say that it was some miscommunic whatever it was i think maybe it was

also it was trump and they kind of wanted to go after him i think that that's fair to say but it was it wasn't um anything other than this transfer of these documents and so try to try to make these two things the same as stupid number one it's just incredibly stupid but also it's not even because the Mar-a-Lago thing that ended up being, I mean, honestly, it was a nothing burger. You can get mad about the bathroom pictures, all that other stuff. I don't care. But the New York one was absolutely, you could easily argue, was a witch hunt. And it was a witch-hunt because you had an expired misdemeanor that Alvin Bragg was trying to argue was done in commission with another unnamed misdemeanor, which then elevated it to a felony for the purpose of going for federal charges.

And if you remember, they instructed the jury in the case to disregard. They were told specifically to disregard the other misdemeanor that would qualify the expired misdemeanor as a felony, if that makes sense. So they literally constructed and no other prosecutor was going to take it. No other prosecutor was going to take this case. So they literally like created a little straw man and the charges were all, I mean, it was all expired. and it was all misdemeanor. It was stupid. You want to talk about legal abuse? That was legitimately legal abuse. Regardless of whether you think it was an unforced error, it was legitimately legal abuse. Yeah, granted, I give you. None of it would have happened if we wouldn't have

stormy Daniels and all that in the first place. I grant you that. But that's beside the point of what this was. So to compare the Illinois thing to this is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen, and it's people who are desperately trying to dig themselves out of a hole. We do have to be careful about what stories we go to, though. Because the Tala Rico one, the New York Times looked at security footage, time stamped, and it showed that Tala RICO was actually at his home, et cetera. I was questioning that whole narrative from the get-go, which is why we questioned it and moved on. We didn't spend a ton of time speculating because I just didn't think that there was any there or there. And believe me, if I think there's blood in the water, I am absolutely going for it.

And I'm not going to let go until there's a corpse, I mean, rhetorically speaking. But there's a just wasn't any there there. And I want to be careful with that stuff because now you can see the way that they're trying to use it here as a way to defend against Dillon Omar, et cetera. So we're going to have, we've got to be careful with us, but this idea that I keep seeing that I'm seeing so many people, including some moderate Republicans that are trying to say, well, you know, they'll in Omar. There's, you know, there's a reason why there's an investigation that's ongoing. There's a reason why there's an investigation that's ongoing. And it was continuing under the Biden administration. So, you know, I mean, these are all very real things. So it's just some of the

stuff that we're hitting today. Also on deck is the latest with this Abdul al-Said and his super weird family connections. So there's a lot of discussion as to how connected he and his family are as it pertains to the Muslim Brotherhood and what we know that they're connected to care, which is the Council for American Islamic Relations. All the people who scream about America First with APEC seemingly have no problem with this. But he is apparently, his family has long been associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. Even though he's denied it, we've got some audio coming up for you that's pretty shocking that we're going to get into. Also, we're going to dive into the, well, POTUS has asked the Greek ambassador to resign. We have a new, brand new press secretary.

the media is trying to throw. I feel like the media is being harsh. They're like, oh, she's visibly nervous. Maybe because you guys are jackwagons. If she came out there and was like, look, suckers, what's up? You guys would be calling her a B. Partners that bring you the program. It's the folks that are over at Patriot Mobile.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. All right. So now they're saying that marijuana is linked. to rampant violence. All right, I'm not a marijuana smoker user. I don't even think you can say smoker anymore because now can't you drink it? I will never understand that. I'm sorry, the drinkable weed sounds so nasty to me. Here, have something that smells like Heineken, but tastes like feet or something. I don't know. I'm just, but they said that here. So here's why I say this, this headline, it says marijuana is linked to rampant violence, given the higher rate of cannabis use amongst individuals with severe mental disorders, blah, blah, blah, violent behavior. Every, it's a stereotype. Every stoner I've ever met in my life has always been super chill and not almost, not alive almost, right? Like they're, I don't even know if they have a pulse. They're so chill, it's annoying. It makes me ragey because they're so chill.

So I don't understand how that works. Is this some kind of like super weed? The weed that's making, it's like, what did you? It's like, it's like Reefer Madness 2.0. Super weed. I don't know. But they're using people that already have like mental issues to weigh this. I would think that if you have mental issues, anything, even if you use melatonin, it's probably not good for you. A hospital in Nepal is running out of hospital beds because evil monkey gangs sent 40 victims to the hospital.

I've been telling you about my slap fight with monkeys before. This hospital in Nepal is groaning under the weight of patients with monkey-related injuries. been a surge of attacks. Residents are ramping up security. They have to have security. They're ramping up security to deal with the onslaught of the monkeys who are breaking into homes and shops. I've got a really easy answer for you if you don't have a gun. It's called a bat. Okay? I'm just saying free softball, dude, yeat them things right into the ether. It's all I'm saying. 40 people in one hospital alone literally, they went to the hospital because they were attacked by monkeys. And these are like not the big giant ones. I don't know what the heck kind they are being that I'm not a monkey expert, but they're the ones. I think friends had this one. Doesn't it look like one of the little capuchin ones, maybe a little bit bigger? They're like the panhandlers of the animal world, right? They sit here and they go around all the tourists and they lunge at your bags. Anyway, I just feel like we need to send some bats there. Perhaps there's some nice charity that would do this. No, no, no. Let's see, from the New York Post. This had the

line. Oh my gosh, this is horrible. The Goliath roller coaster in Georgia, there was a park goer killed. He fell out of the roller coaster, not to make light of the situation. He mooned the cameras as he did it. I'm not kidding. Stick with us. We got a lot more in store and our partners that help bring you the program. It's the folks over at Amac, which is the alternative to, I guess they can say the AARP, the organization that's been around forever, AARP, that is like they pretend to be the bouncers for every American over the age of 50, there is an alternative to this where you don't have to support an organization that peddles things like Obamacare and build back better and the ridiculously named Inflation Reduction Act. AARP are the ones who've been pushing this for so long.

AMAC is the actual alternative. This is an organization that's structured. around faith, family, and freedom. And they were founded as the alternative to AARP so that we can keep our American values intact across America.

And there's a new book out that I only actually am only right at one of my favorite stories. I've got maybe almost a third of the way through it. And it's United States six crucial moments that forged the American miracle. And one of my friends who is a book writing factory. And I've seen for fact that he doesn't sleep, because I've done events with this man. And the man like literally goes and is shaking his people and signing stuff. And he's going to like 10 o'clock. Then he has a late dinner. And then he gets up at like two hours later. And I think he just goes into his room and sits there and then waits until it's time to get up again. He just recharges. Brian Kilmead, as you know, a co-host of Fox and Friends, number one, New York Times bestselling author.

New book out today. Got it. Congratulations. My friend, he joins us via video. Congratulations about this book. and it's a really good read. And when did you, first off, when did you have time to write this? Well, remember, I haven't done one for the last two years. So I kind of said, I got to get something queued up for $250. And I'm starting to think of something that would make sense. And I'm not a Ron Turnow guy that can go to do Washington a little bit different or John Meacham that said the other side of Janjur Jackson.

I don't have the staff for the time, but I thought, what have I just, the six moments that astounded me the most that really intrigued me the most. And I give it to you like 45 pages. And that I think help form our country because, Dana, when we talk to people, they don't understand why they should be patriotic. They don't understand the journey that we got to happen here. And I also wanted to show everyone the human side of America's growth. We made mistakes in the past. We've always argued.

We've always disagreed. So I said, what have I made six digestible stories that connected together, united the states? And then it was also a special on Fox Nation with it too. Yeah. And these, I don't want to give the whole book away because I want people to go and read it. But I'm very familiar with these six moments. Some of them, in fact, one of them, I think is one of the most powerful moments in American history. And I'm just going to ask you about that one because I want people to read the book to get the other ones.

But it's a story that I talk about so often. And it's John Adams defending the British soldiers. after the Boston Massacre, which is crazy to think of when you look back in history, you would think, well, of course he would do. But at the time, he knew he's a young lawyer. He's got a young wife. He's got a young family. He's not as established in the colonies.

He's not an old founder at that point yet. And he really risks his entire reputation. And a lot of people are scratching their heads thinking, this guy's nuts. He's going to represent the British against the colonists. So that's how it was viewed at the time. But he was so fantastic. And I want you to speak to just a little bit of this. He was so fantastic that by the time he was done, I mean, I think what?

Every single one was exonerated except for one of the officers. But I think that they had a reduced charge. That really stuck out to you as being one of the six moments. Yeah, five shot eight, eight shot five dead. And I just want to bring people back. And Dana, thanks for bringing this up for the right reasons. Because people think the Boston massacre and they think, well, that led to the revolution, like the Tea Party. In a way, but not why I put it in.

Right. And what happens is, just picture after the French Indian War, where the Brits were fighting with us, they decided they needed money. They have all these adventures around the world, and they thought they would use us as an ATM. And they hit us with all types of taxes, towns and tax, a T-T tax. They have the stamp act, and everyone thinks, what's the big deal with stamps? No, the stamps was everything. It was mortgages. It was loans.

or everything with paper, literally with paper, they were tax. And it outraged these independent-minded people called Americans who took tremendous risks for this thing called liberty and freedom. And they were proud to be a part of the crown. But when the crown wouldn't even hear them and they were complaining, you know what the British responded by sending troops? Oh, really? So you're not going to release the taxes.

And instead you send troops to act like cops in our streets. and many of which were arrogant, acted like thugs, started beating up a lot of our guys, abusing a lot of women. So that created basically a firestorm in the city. Two weeks prior to the Boston Massacre or Miracle on King Street, which Adams called it, two weeks prior to that, there was a shooting in the street, there was a skirmish, and a 14-year-old was killed.

And to go down the street, you had all children carry the casket to the funeral, and that just further inflamed the city of Boston. So when the Boston massacre happens, it's just a guy, it's an officer sitting outside a barbershop. He gets accused by Edward Garrick of not paying his bill. He said, just get away from me. A private says to get away from him.

Garrick doesn't give up. Next thing you know, a skirmish happens. He gets hit in the head with the butt of a gun. Then everyone comes to his side. Next thing you know, it's these British troops squaring off against the townsmen. They don't know what happened. A snowball of rock. you know, the soldiers feel threatened. They shoot eight shot, five dead. So you would think riot justice.

That's what happens. These guys are going to get killed or all the townsmen need to get killed. Instead, they put the soldiers in jail and they gave them a trial. But nobody wanted to represent him except for this young lawyer named John Adams. Why? Because he believed that America, if it's ever going to be its own nation, should be based on law and order and justice and a presumption of innocence, even in 1770. And he decides to represent him, puts his reputation on the line, and he represents them all.

He gets them all off except two. You know, they got his punishment. They got manslaughter because they did shoot and kill people, two tattoos on their fingers. He used as a jury, the eyewitnesses, because he knows they took their oath on swearing on the Bible seriously. And they know that there were no eyewitnesses

they could say definitively, if someone yelled fire, shoot him, kill him. which means there's intent. Right. And I just thought to myself, man, America is a nation based on law and justice, even when it's unpopular. Right.

And one of our most vital founding fathers made it happen. Yep. What would have, and we're talking to Brian Kilmead, for those just joining the program, his brand new book out today, Uniting the States, the crucial moments that forged the American miracle.

What would have, what would America look like had that not happened? Because that's such a cornerstone of our due process. I mean, it is our due process. If that had not happened in that manner, if John Adams had never defended them, what do you think the country would look like now? I could only speculate. It's a great question. No one's ever asked me that. And I know it's so interesting. It would have been hard to install a sense of justice after winning in 1783 if it wasn't there in 1770. Because we're beginning to

set up systems and processes and procedures back then. Because we had our founding fathers, not winging it. They were reading Cicero and Socrates and studying Greek democracy and the Romans and the philosophers of their day in the back of their mind saying, we have to have a fresh start. Man and women have a right for freedom and liberty and to whatever your destiny is, where you're born is not where you end up. But we have to set up a system that allows that, but you have a system of law and order. And if you had to set that up in 1783, it would have been a lot harder. Instead of picking up where we start in 1770, when we start the war and win the war, we already had a system going. And also, Adams really had a sense of a need for representation.

The whole family did. Remember John Quincy Adams, as I would write later, would represent slaves who are looking for freedom in the Amistead story, which was made famous in one of a million Oscars years ago. he represented the slaves and made sure they got back to Africa and got their freedom. So that's a great question. I think the fact that we started, we got the presumption of innocence early, really helped us. And it really set the United States apart as this, you know, this fledgling little country, this little republic that's getting established.

And, you know, I have to tell you, too, these stories, one of the reasons, I think these are important for a lot of reasons. not just for American history, but because we're in a weird tumultuous time right now politically. And I don't mean policy-wise. I mean, for the lack of a better way to put it, like a political, not religiousness so much, but a political spiritualness. We're at a very weird crossroads. And I think the Republican Party in the right, I think this is kind of like one of the natural, it's like the day new mon of the big tent, right?

The coalition. It's got to go somewhere. And now we're having this like distillment period. And it's why these stories are so important because everybody, Brian, you know, they should talk about this every day. When immigration comes up, people now are like, wait a minute, where are our moorings? What did the founders do? What did Washington do about somebody like Nadal Hassan, for instance? That's something that comes up.

And you talk about George Washington, you know, his development of strategies in the revolutionary war and his military acumen. But all of that is so important because it guides everything that we're determining right now. And it's like we're a republic if we can keep it. Are we keeping it? What are your thoughts on that? Well, a couple of things. Washington when it comes to, and I was just discussing this with another friend of yours, Will Kane.

Yeah. Washington hung John Andre and he wanted everyone to see it. Yes. And John Andre was this charismatic leader of Britain. He was in New York City and kind of running things. And everyone that met him liked him, even Americans. In fact, after he was captured, trying to throw, combined with Benedict Donald and throw,

bro West Point and give away the Hudson to the British, and thankfully he was stopped. I went to the bar in which he was held in, literally held in a bar. Alexander Hamilton lived upstairs, and he goes, I got to meet this guy, John Andre. They end up being best friends, and Avalton says to Washington, please don't hang him. He's a great guy. We can just use him. Well, Washington goes, no, no, he's the enemy. He's taken over our country.

He'll get hanged. The only way to leave to save him is if I could exchange him for Benedict Donald. And the British said, no, I can't do that. So he hung him on the public display. So people thought, wow, you just took one of the most popular guys around and hung him. He says, well, that's what it's about. He's trying to destroy us and we're out to winning. Also, they hung Nathan Hale two years earlier.

Yep. Right in the public square on 66 and 3rd, right here in Manhattan. And that was a big crowd there to see that. So, and that gets to the hanging in the Hassan now. But it was for a purpose. It was for a reason. And Washington got it, and he wanted that example made. Last thing for you, you know, in light of the book and everything else, you know, one of the big hot topics.

And this is going to be, as we're rolling towards midterms, Iran seems to be the litmus test for evaluating whether or not Republicans are going to be successful at the ballot box. And I see it come up not just on the left, but on the right. The right's kind of an uproar about it. Where is your, where are you, how do you gauge this going to go? How do you gauge the effect that Iran right now where things are and what the president's doing? I mean, how quickly, if there are people that are slow to support the Republicans at midterms, how quickly do you think that POTUS can turn that around? And what do you think about the prosecution of this thus far as it pertains to that?

Great. These are great questions. Number one, it's absolutely a battle we had to have. I remember as early as I was in sixth grade, I was in ninth grade, excuse me, when the hostages were. taken. Iran has been literally on the front or second page of every foreign policy magazine and story against America for 47 years. And then I'm just reading Brett McGurk's book, who is the security advisor to the foreign policy advisor to Joe Biden. The whole book is about the Houthi rebels bombing and Iran bombing and negotiations, Saudi Arabia and Ahmad. This is all based on Iran. Iran is at the nexus of

all of it. So whatever I say next, keep in mind, the one thing I will not entertain is that Iran is not the problem. Right. They are the problem. Yes. It's how you handle that problem. When people say to me, Iran's not the problem, we just don't understand them. I don't know if I have another question for them. So I don't. I don't know where to go. But if you want to go about tactics and things like that, we can do that. Now, the other thing is, you know, I talk to what I do, and you do this to. I didn't go to a war college or a military academy, but I know people, these people are my friends that did. And I talk to them all the time. How would you strategize here? What was doing here? What would you have done here? Find out what they did. Then you call them back. Well, they tried that.

That didn't work where you go. Number one, the president's not going to do anything that's going to ratchet up oil prices in the next 20 days. And he kind of made that clear unless he absolutely has to. I think that's why he's holding fire with the Houthis. But we know the bad guy is. It's no longer a question. When Joe Biden took office, he said, the Houthis, you're off the terrorist. Saudi Arabia, you're a pariah. Iran, let's talk deal. Everything that he did was backwards. So when he said, you're the problem with Hamas, Hezbo, Islamic jihad, you're the problem with the Houthi rebels. So let's stop it here. So I think we're very close to bringing down that regime. The best thing I've heard is with General Jack Keen said. They've already identified the groups. We have to arm

those groups, provide air cover, and let them take back their country. And that's what I think we should finally bring this to an end. And what Trump has said is, I'm not leaving this to the next guy or the next woman. This is the problem that needs to be addressed. We can never trust negotiations. They'll always aspire to get a nuclear weapon. And if you want to reduce the influence of Russia and China in the region, that's what it is. And every time you, you know, you give Russia and China a lifeline, they give the money and that lifeline to bad actors like that. Yeah, exactly.

So this story says a Florida man was found passed out behind the wheel with a 0.377 blood alcohol content five times the legal limit. Now, on a scale of, I feel good, and I'm solely tober. What? Where is this guy?

Oh, my gosh. Why are people like this? Oh, man, he looks drunk as I'll get out to in his mugshot. Whoa. Man, that man stood up. You know, there's a cop under the camera lens, just holding him up. Florida man was arrested. He literally, his car was in drive.

And this dude was snoozing at the wheel because he was so drunk. Lee County Sheriff's Office said it happened. and about 1.30 p.m. in the afternoon, man's on broad daylight. Deputies knocked on the window. The guy wouldn't wake up, so they were worried about his safety. They had a break the window to get him. They found multiple open and empty beer cans, and his foot was on the break while the car was in drive. They've got video of it. So he's sitting there sort of slumped over in his seat. And they identified him as Fernando Delgado. He was so passed out. He was drooling all over his shirt. and there's video of it.

I mean, and he's in this light green shirt, and he's got drool all over it. Now, right in the front, he's got two beers, two modellos open, right in the front console there.

250 say the word baby. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. It's in a Jerry Seinfeld show. The pallies are going, wow. Pally, wow. I like how they play the music. You go to the guy's show. So he said, and if we have this, I'll cut it.

Right here. He said, I want to find out how much your ticket was, and I'll send it to Israel. I don't know. Guys, look, Jerry Seinfeld's been doing this for a long time. He does not give a rat blank what you think about conflict in the Middle East. He doesn't care. He's not going to be moved. He is not one of these like, you're simpering baby millennials or elderly Gen Ziers that's going to crumple at this. He's just, that's not what he's going to do. He's going to dig in harder. That stuff. Look, yeah, he's got blank you money. And you know what you do with blank you money? You tell your haters to blank themselves. That's what that is. He does not care.

You can sit here and do your pali tantruming all you want to. Throws out some Hamas numbers. It's not a lie. It's all a lie. Don't vote for the government that genocides you. That's your government. Your duly elected government, Hamas. That's them.

You're not going to make him bend a knee. It's not going to happen. You'll break your straying because he's not going to bend his. I respect that. Has he voted Democrat? Yeah. He's so wrong. He's so wrong on that.

But it's actually kind of entertaining to watch. That whole thing, actually, where's this thing it reminds me of? I tweeted that this, retweeted this morning. Or reposted? Is that the, gosh, I'm so aggravated. Retweet, repost, whatever. but it was this sentiment. Let me get it up here.

X has changed their whole thing and it makes me mad. It says, Palestinianism is a Trojan horse that is being pushed, promoted, amplified, and used by adversaries of the West. And this is a thousand percent true. Palestinianism is a Rorschach test. We're going to fabricate something out of the ether and try to pretend that there's antiquity to it.

And then we're going to see how many people go along with it. And, you know, it's not hard to think that, you know, it's not, you can't blame them for thinking that people would go along with it because people go along with trans and 15 days to slow the spread and take an EBLM and all that other nonsense, right? So that's where they get the idea that you'll go along with it. But it is absolutely a Trojan horse. It's a Roar Shock test. I think it's a great litmus of someone's stupidity. It's a great litmus test. Ask them, do you support this? What do you think about this? What do you believe about this? that actually, if I had to ask somebody one question and I could accurately gauge where they stand on everything else, it would be that one. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

This Selma Blair's story is kind of nuts. I feel bad for her, but at the same time, I don't know. Like, I think there's some mental issues happening there. She was arrested because she allegedly, like, kicked a cop in the head and fought with airline attendants. all kinds of stuff. They issued her a federal summons.

She was arrested. And apparently there's like audio from when she was exiting the plane and you can hear her screaming and the alarms ringing and all of this. Like one of the flight attendants had apparently like her, the bite punctured skin. Like she bit her hard. And she kicked a cop in the head, assaulted another nurse. So she's got two counts of assault, one on a cop, one on a nurse. And I think, I thought she had another one for the attendant because she punched.

another flight attendant. So she was saying that, well, she has multiple sclerosis. So she's, you know, she didn't have her medication for that and it control. I'm just thinking there's other stuff there. I have never heard. That's not really how that works. Yeah, she has a history. Yeah, she has a history. I think that she does have a mental issue. I hope she gets the help that she needs because, you know, when she's, you know, it doesn't seem like otherwise, she's, I don't know, it's just so sad. A teen boy, 15, survives a bear attack. After his mobile phone exploded in his back pocket as the rampaging brown bear assault like was like trying to mall him his phone exploded in his pocket it was not an apple uh it was in russia but a witness saw it heard him scream saw
