Welcome, welcome, welcome back to the program. It is I, your lovable curmudgeon here hanging out with you as we start off the second hour of the broadcast. And so you can, if you missed anything, first hour, find the podcast over at the stack as well, substack chapter and first, YouTube Facebook. White House is preparing for extended military, an extended military exchange with Iran for control over the Strait of Ormoos, which could stretch for days or weeks now, according to media outlets. So apparently they, like, didn't they have a banner that they, they put over a side of a building saying we will kill Trump.

Trump, I feel like he's done with this. And Trump is saying that we control the straight already. He's been saying that. But we still have Iran that's getting frogy. And this is a problem. They can't be getting froggie with stuff. I do think that it shows there's a very interesting, how do I put this, disassociation or comparison that's happening within the administration here.

because last week and the week before you had J.D. Vance going out and saying this is the path for peace. They're open to peace. We're going to have peace, et cetera. And then now, POTUS is like, yeah, yeah, blank them guys. They're evil. They're scum. Called him scum. You know what scum is? That's what he asked one of the reporters. He's not messing. He's not playing this at all. He's not playing with this at all. This is cut six. This is what he had to say about this. Listen. They just, we just hit them very hard. And I say we hit up 20 to 1. Every time they hit us, we're going to hit them 20.

And we did it last night. They did a little something today, but it was really retribution for last night. They hit actually three boats, not two. And when they hit, we hit back much harder. We hit back much harder, much harder indeed. Very interesting, because this is, You know, we, we were, weren't we being told that this is just, you know, we got, it's the way, pathway to peace. I love that explosion.

I could watch it over and over again. Why is that not like a screensaver? You know the screensaver's where it used to be just like the, just watch stuff getting blowed up. Baddy's getting blowed up. So it is interesting to watch because it was, we were told that the vice president had a very different approach. He had a different approach from like the ruby. Trump percent. And I think Trump gave him some leeway on this. And then now, because, because here's why, I really feel like Vance thought that they could be dealt with rationally. I don't know how else to put

it, because why, I don't know why you would go out and say, well, they're capable of peace. We're going to be able to have this. I'm not right. I'm not, or incorrect in that, Kane, I don't believe. I think he thinks of it as, you know, he has to, he can't go to. He can't go to. their level right away, right? We have to give them all these off-ramps or else... They've had an off-ramps, though, I would argue, forever. They absolutely have. And I think Trump is doing that intentionally so that no one in the world community can say... But don't you think his approach is different from Vance's? Oh, absolutely. Because Vance was acting like, oh, they're going to be, they're going to be lovey-d-dovey.

It's going to be total peace, and it's not. It hasn't been. Anybody had a consensus that J.D. Vance's advice was any good as it relates to this. I think Trump is doing it right. The world community can't say he hasn't offered many off-ramps for them. And if this leads to their total destruction, well, that's what's in the cards. I always felt like his approach was, I think I always felt like Rubio and Trump were more on the same page. Because that MOU, again, that just to re-contextualize it,

because this has been going on for so long, was never a final agreement. Remember, that was just the negotiation to get to the negotiation. So ridiculous. but we're working with Mullahs. And I feel like Trump made Vance own that. This is me just sort of reading things with and sitting back and watching and observing the messaging for both. I went back and I was watching, rewatching some of Vance's soundbites on this.

And he, it felt he was looking at this as though Iran, in my perspective, Iran was completely capable of diplomatic engagement. and he did not view it necessarily as a trap. It seemed myopic. This idea, it seemed a lot, it seemed very similar to the Obama idea that with enough trade, with enough investment that they're just really one bailout away from a full democracy, that's what I got from Vance and his whole Quincy Institute. cadre. But that's not the reality of the situation, nor has it ever been with Iran. Whereas Rubio was always, no, no, no, we're going to apply pressure, we're going to apply leverage,

and these are our terms. And I thought that Rubio, and I'm not saying this like to look ahead for 28 at all, genuinely, but these are the three guys that are the most in, well, I think Vance less so, but Rubio's very involved. I think Rubio has a deeper understanding, absolutely. Foreign policy has always been his thing. Rubio has messed up more when he gets away from his wheelhouse. He's very good on foreign policy. And it's like Trump Reagan in one person in a way.

He's not isolationist when it concerns America's interest or trying to outmaneuver China like Trump is, like with the straight or Greenland or the Panama. Canal or, you know, wherever, wherever. But Rubio's approach has all, was, I think, verbalized yesterday when you heard Trump say, what did you say, they're scum, they're liars, their cheats, they're crazy. They've acted this way for forever. That was his quote. That sounds like Rubio.

Whereas Vance was going about, well, you know, they're just an investment package. You know, they're going to have the other Saudi, there are the other Arab states invest, etc. Like they would act normal if, you know, all of the Arab League just gave them an investment package. Oh, then they'll act normal as though it's a problem that money can solve. Oh, then they'll act normal. As if it's a policy issue to begin with when we all know that it's not. And I think that that is the error of Vance's approach. That is why now I think that Trump boxed, I think Trump boxed him out of that. Now again, I'm not trying to start anything. I'm just reading into it. because for the people who go, well, Trump's going back and forth.

I don't think Trump is going back and forth. Now, and look, and you guys know I'll criticize him when it's necessary. I don't think that this is him going back and forth. I think this was him showing a faction in the Republican Party. Look, this ain't going to work because these guys are nuts. You got to remember this. Trump has been keen in on Iran since J.D. Vance ever, before J.D. Vance ever paid attention what was happening in the Middle East.

Actually, even Rubio, before half of these people have. He has hated Iran so badly. If there is one thing that Trump has been ridiculously consistent on, it's been that. And I feel as though you are not that hardcore serious about the reality of your geopolitical foe and then you switch off of it without there being a reason. And I think he wanted to say, okay, we're going to do it your way. for a moment. And then when that fell apart, predictably, as it always does with Iran, now we're back to where Trump began. And the correct perspective through which to look at Iran. And Rubio was already

right there. So Vance can't sell this memorandum of understanding as like a peace deal because Trump's already called it a waste of time, right? Remember, Vance was the one who went out there and said, oh, this is an off-ramp, this is peace. But all Iran did was say, okay, we're just going to use this to buy some time. That's all we're doing. It was very myopic. Now, the funny thing is, too, and as Juan said, and I think this is a great point with Juan, the MOU was going to be restoring the global oil market before restarting the war.

I think so, too, but I don't think that that's how Vance was approaching it. I think that that was Rubio pushing that as leverage to get the other countries to back the United States because everyone was feeling the crunch of this, even though we don't get our energy from that sector, that's not where we get the bulk of our accrued. It still affects the global market and prices for the global market, meaning. But I do absolutely think it was leverage that Rubio was like, okay, Rubio and Trump were like, all right, you've got to have these other Arab nations on board with us. So we're going to back off. We're going to act like, but when you heard Vance talk about it, he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, this was an off-ramp. This was a

you know, we're getting ready. We're going to have peace. I don't think, I mean, the way he was talking was like he didn't foresee anything else happening. And now Trump's out there spike in the football. That's what he's doing. Let's be real. When he's out there saying this stuff, that's Trump spike in the football. That's him sending a message like, look, we did it your way.

It didn't work. And I think that this, I do actually think this is 4D chess. I think Trump is simultaneously doing two things. I think he's using this number one to give a little bit of respite. here at the peak of summer with crude, but also to showcase all of these people's way, the Quincy Institute, all these other think tanks way of approaching this problem is a failure. And it has been a failure. We're doing it my way.

So I think it's kind of a two-for. I got to tell you about this thing that's Oremontani's wife is doing because I told you it's going to make you upset. So let's have a little social study, shall we? So, well, or should I save it because we're going to be coming up close on time. Let me just set the table. and then we're going to talk about it after headlines because so fresh off the heels of Zorraine Mandani making everybody mad about the immigrant neighborhoods because I this is if a white

dude had come out and erased half of these neighborhoods the way he's doing there would be an uproar so he they redid this some new york city immigrant enclaves and they got rid of all the Irish all the Italians and all the Puerto Ricans uh they got rid of all the Jews Y'all are white. Juan's white. He's just white adjacent. Sorry, Juan. Kane, your half is represented still. That's about it. Yeah. So I'm not represented at all here anymore. I'm all gone. So that's what they did. They erased all of it. So while Mamdani's doing this, his wife, and by the way, the Italian-American Civil Rights League is about ready to teach lessons, I think. So while he's doing this, his wife, does, decides to have this, how you call it, a spiritual retreat in Corsica. So, so stupid. So for $3,000 to $5,000, it's a trip of prayer, lectures, and food.

And it's all about retconning Jesus's ancestry. So his wife, Rama, is co-hosting this very expensive retreat to say that Mary was a, quote, Palestinian woman giving birth under occupation. Now, she skipped, by the way, this is in Spain. Juan's showing you the headline. This is why his wife left America as we were celebrating the 250th birthday of this nation. This is not like a vacation. She's making money off of this because she's charging three to five thousand dollars for it. In Spain to teach that Mary was a quote, Palestinian woman who gave birth under occupation, which is so not even remotely accurate, because first off, there's nothing, there's no such thing as Palestine. There never has been.

And as I've explained to you before, it was a name of spite given to a people after they lost an uprising by Hadrian, Syria, Philistina. It was after the Philistines that were seafaring people from Crete, and they had been absent from the area for like 200 years beforehand. Further, Hadrian did when he read when he named this area this this is 130 years after the birth of christ mary was no longer alive you're talking i mean you're talking about renaming that those timelines don't match up at all we're going to deep dive into this uh because now this is a springboard for other debates we got a lot more on the way as we move our partners that help bring you the program it's the folks over at relief factor relief factor wants to bring you

relief from everyday aches and pains. There are so many stories of people who've taken Relief Factor and they were tired of just living with a discomfort and they found something that helped them feel like themselves again.

So, first up, there's apparently a deadly fungal storm sweeping America with toxicity. I don't know, toxic dust carrying disease. Meteorologists, this is the first I'm hearing

about it. Meteorologists and health experts have worn that dust storms in the southwest will strike dangerous fungal spores. Are you going to breathe it and die? I don't know. I can't even pronounce this. It's a microscopic fungus particle called Cockachicudakidogodis. Yeah, Kane, you can give this a whirl. Take a dance with that. Kukachig doggadigis. That's what it's called.

Right there. You try it. Cockatydides? Sure. Cockatieties? Illnesses could skyrocket, including California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. As it enters the North American monsoon season.

And, oh, by the way, the huge walls of dust are known as Haboobs. Haboobs. Yeah. They said people get valley fever that peaks in October. So basically the air quality is going to be raw. But I think it's going to be more towards like the Permian Basin out there. Let's see. The ideal movie length is shrinking for Americans.

Yes, because we're being ruined by people who make three-hour films. The only ways that that's acceptable is if you're doing like the proper adaptation of and prejudice, which we don't need any more. Please, dear heavens. And also, if you're doing any kind of Lord of the Rings, anything, but we don't need any more of that, because Peter Jackson's is going to be absolutely unsurmountable in terms of cinematic greatness. So don't even try. But yes, otherwise, I don't need a three-hour drama. I just don't. But I think that that's, I mean, really, there are very few movies can hold your attention for that long, but they say they are shrinking. The ideal movie length is shrinking. And a lot of that, too, I think, is because

you're being trained by what you see on social media and reels and clips and things like that, right? Let's see here. I know we already covered the guy who chopped his wing off, but what about the man in the wheelchair that robbed a Pasadena bank and escaped? He can hide, but he can't run. We got more on the way. Stick with us. Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service in the nation, and they want to save you money. That's all they want to do.

The things that have been claimed did not happen. It's not real. It is placed an immense amount of weight on me as I think about what needs to happen now. Amy and I are regular people. We were not looking for this experience. We were not looking to get into politics.

We had no desire to run for office. I just want you to think about what you would do as a regular person in a position where a much larger world, large forces, were working against you personally to accuse you of the worst thing that a person could do, and it was not remotely true. I learned about this through press inquiries with no time to truly respond, no time for investigation. before a corporate media system and the political establishment got to act as judge, jury, and executioner. Accusations are supposed to be the beginning of things, not the end.

I think it's really important to understand why this is happening in the timeline, why this is happening right now, much like October when the first attack's, started, much like the news that was created the week before the primary. There is a reason that this is happening now. I only have until July 13th until I am officially the nominee. This was the last week to try to get me off of the ballot. And that's why this is occurring. You raped a chick. It's not the false allegations, though, that have brought us to where we are. It's the fact that they are being used by the political establishment to put structural pressure on us. We live in a political system that is not built for normal people.

How long is this? It is a system that is built. Sweet heaven. No, but I know. But he went on like this for, what was it like five minutes? Nobody does five minute video cuts. somebody tell this guy what happens when you're explaining

you're losing rule 101 I so that's grand platner's video what is he just like in his backyard and a sweaty shirt he just I find him so nasty

he's in a sweaty shirt dude look at him he's not even that's not even a clean gray tea that is a sweaty grody tea because he's a sweaty grody dude who rapes chicks and I'm telling you what the idea that he's under attack, you guys.

Grand Platinor's under attack. That's so crazy. They just targeted him because it's just, you know, as you understand, you know, this is. They targeted him because he was too six. I'm trying to figure out why. Why did they target him? You broke into a chick's house and raped her, the R word, you raped her. That's how this worked.

That's how it had. happened. And now he doesn't want to take any kind of, um, out of whatsoever accountability or responsibility for his own actions. This is insane. This guy is, I mean, can you tell he's a master manipulator? Just by the way he talks. And by the way, he's trying to gaslight everybody into thinking, no, no, no, it's not, it's not me. It's you. I was attacked. They had, what did he say until July? What is the ninth? Or 13th is what he said, the, is that what he said the, the deadline or whatever was? Yeah. So he's, you know, he's, he's under attack, guys. I would say that the chick that he raped is under attack, but again, you know, what do I

know? Welcome to the radio program, Dana Lash with you. And we've got some stuff to unpack because we've got the ongoing hearing, the Charlie Kirk preliminary hearing. We've got that. Grand Platner's dropped out. Oh my gosh, I got a million things. I've got. I've got a million things. got some crazy stuff, pulling some things up, bear with me. I've got some crazy things for you as it pertains to New York. The Mam Donnies are really doing everything they possibly can to make everybody so angry at them. And we're going to explain that here coming up. But for grand, and then of course you got Iran's heating up again. But Platner's out. And now it looks like, So this is what happens.

He's out now. Democrats have until July 27th to find their replacement, right? They have until July 27th to get their replacement. It could be a number of guys. One of the candidates, a number of folks, one of the candidates is a main state rep, Valley Geiger. former nurse, former mayor, and Grand Platner's encouraging her to take his place. So I kind of feel like Democrats are going, we need a chick now. We have to have a chick because he raped a woman.

And remember, the reason that he's stepping out is not because Democrats are realized that, wow, it's really bad what he did. That's incredibly horrible what he did. That is not what they believe. If they think, I mean, whether or not someone's a rapist is irrelevant to them. The dude was already falling apart and polling. It was already happening. The attacks were working and attacks.

I can't stay. The observations of his publicly posted behavior were having an impact. And it was eating away at his lead, especially with working class voters, which are a significant demo in Maine. He was really starting to bottom out with working class voters. I told you the New York Times Sienna polls showed Susan Collins was plus 21 with working class voters against Grant Platner. That expanded to plus 23. When you reduced it to white working class voters, he had already dropped precipitously, I think nine points with black voters, 12 with Hispanic. He was already, women were a little slower, but he was already dropping.

It was down, he was down three. And that was within the, I think that was within Sienna's margin of error, with this, or outside of the margin of error with the survey. So, I mean, he was already being hit. And it was even before that, that, the truth about his behavior started taking root. He very much, and this is very evident, he was already very close. He was old, he was within margin of error with Collins and every single matchup. And so it was already going to be a very difficult race compounded by all of this other stuff that keeps coming out. Apparently there are more things that are still, can you believe? leave it. I was told yesterday that there are things that are ready to come out that are worse than

this. What is worse than breaking and entering into a woman's home and raping her? I mean, did he kill abroad? For real. Did he kill somebody? I mean, what else is there? Kate, what is after that? Nothing's good. I mean, rape after rape, murder? How can it be worse? Is he a pedophile? I mean, I've got questions. I don't know how you make it worse. People were saying it's as bad. or worse than what we've already, than all of this. That's pretty, that's crazy. So we've got, I mean, this is going to be a very weird race. I think Maine pretty much, especially if they scramble.

Geiger has not been officially named the replacement nominee, but she told this was a local news outlet there that Platner had called her, and this is per the New York Post, that Platner had called her Monday night, praised her as a fighter, asked whether or not he could put her name forward. Remember, one of the big fights that they were having was whether or not Platner got to pick who his replacement was, right? That was the big thing. That was whether or not that he could name the replacement. He wanted to at least retain some kind of influence as Kingmaker. This is cut three, John Fetterman, who has been living his best life, blasting the ever-loving hell out of all of these Democrats that rallied around

Grand Platner and cheerleading him. Listen to him and go after Bernie Sanders here. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Bernie Sanders needs to apologize to the voters of Maine and to, you know, everyone that donated to that train wreck of a campaign. More than anyone he pushed P-Hustle into the election. And now, you know, he keeps pushing these communists and these kind of awful anti-American people. So there's plenty of those people that have to humble themselves. You know, humble yourself and stop pushing, you know, this kind of people on people in my party. You know, I kind of think that maybe if they had all listened to Federman in the beginning, that we wouldn't have this problem.

This was Federman saying, this is how he addressed Platner. This is so great. Cut four. This is so good. I would say, you know, like, P-Hustle, P-Hustle, bro, you will only be remembered as the accused rapist that got pushed out of your election. That's your legacy, bro. you are a guy that cheats on your wife. You're the guy that ruffs up your

ex-girlfriend. You know, that's your legacy, bro. So, you know, Senator, you... Why doesn't Fetterman just come over here? Why doesn't he come over and sit with us? You know he wants to. He's probably more conservative than Susan Collins.

Y'all know I'm not right. People are like, Dana, we got enough bad Republicans. I know, but we can fix them, guys. I'm going to use Keynes line. Keynes-law is like, I can fix her. No, we can fix them, guys. we can fix him. Can we can fix him? I feel it.

Look, he's like the smartest Democrat over there. I, okay. Hands down. Who did I say this to yesterday? I said this to somebody yesterday during a conversation. I said if Plattner had been elected, what was the bet that Fetterman was going to beat his ass in the capital? What do you think? Hmm?

Like, what's Plattner going to do? He's going to, I mean, he's got to rally all the flabber on his midsection to power his fist, but Fetterman's like 11ty feet tall. he's going to stop him like Erling Holland stops anybody that gets near him. They just run into him like a brick wall. Golly. By the way, are we speaking of Norway? We're rooting for Norway Saturday. We've got to root for Norway.

You know that. Juan, are we rooting for Norway? Did I, do we want to ask Juan? Juan's got his own loyalties. What do you think? I only root for Team USA and Argentina. Argentina and Team USA. Okay, well, outside of Argentina.

Two USA is out. Yeah, we're out. Norway's got that row, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they play Saturday. You know, the crash out's going to, apparently it's going to be the English, the Vikings versus the Saxons on Saturday.

What? The most English-looking players possible are all starting. But we're going to get into some of the World Cup stuff. Also, guys, I woke up this morning, and I felt like I was rewatching the offer. You know, the making of the Godfather. Man, I'm going to tell you what. Dorian Mandani ticked off every Italian in New York.

Oh my gosh. I mean, the organization, the Italian-American Association, they have been like firing shots, I mean rhetorically, all morning. This is amazing because waiting to you hear what was done. I'm going to explain that to you here coming up. We got headlines on the way as we move, the folks who help make the program possible. Who do we have today?

I don't have. We got it. Let's move on. I think we have a chance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, we got. All right. We've got headlines on the way.

We're going to get to it. Stick with us. Our partners that help bring us the program. It's the folks over at Burn a Gun. I'll tell you this a million times. I sleep like a baby with a full belly of milk if I have to use lethal force to protect myself or a loved one. I don't care.

Doesn't bother me because, you know, I'm acting in a justifiable way. What really gets me? me, though, is that you've got to go to some places sometimes where your rights are restricted, where you're not able to carry, where you're not able to defend yourself. And heaven knows that they're not going to give you anybody to defend you either. So what do you got to do? You got to find a workaround, right? This is where Berna gun comes in. It's not a replacement. It is another option to consider when your rights are compromised. You need options when carrying is restricted. And this is where you have a personal security option that you should consider. So Berna,

They have a bunch of different models. I don't care about any of them except for the CL for this purpose. It's CL stands for a compact launcher. It's the size of an iPhone. It's another tool in your kid. It shoots chemical gear to projectiles. It can deter threats from up to 60 feet away compared to tasers and stun guns. One or two rounds for those.

This has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. And it doesn't care about gun-free zone signs because it's not a gun. It doesn't care about any of that. No background checks, no waiting period. You buy it online. They send it to your door. It's the Burna-C-L-L-B-Y-R-N-A. dot com slash dana to learn more that's bernah.com slash dana ready when you are

Hold up. Let me pull this story up. You know, he's got a problem with him.

I don't know. We're trying to work on it. I just say not all old people are innocent. I know you think old people are innocent. This guy isn't, though. Really, he's an 84-year-old. Okay. A drunk 84-year-old Florida man tried to burn his longtime lover to death when she dumped him after 42 years.

He tried to burn her face off. Franklin Davis and the woman. they ended their decades-long relationship. They'd gotten to an argument while they were parked in a 7-Eleven, according to Brower County. Davis, who, shockingly, had been drinking, suddenly, out of nowhere, produced a gasoline-filled bottle. Wait, what?

Because, you know, people just carry those around, particularly 84-year-olds in Florida, apparently. He produced a gasoline-filled bottle, doused the dashboard and front seats with it, and set it a light, why they were both, but they were both inside. his ex-told investigator she thought he meant to burn her up

and she got burns to his face, she got burns to hers they were both treated at local hospitals oh my gosh, oh my gosh his, oh my gosh my gosh, oh my gosh, I don't think we can show this it is so bad

oh man and the I mean the car as you can imagine blowed up so she got third degree burns he got third degree burns. Oh, my gosh. They were both treated at the hospital.

And the 7-Eleven parking spot, the parking lot has a charred spot where the car had been set of blaze and all the nearby signs had melted. Oh, my gosh. Let's see. A Florida man was found lined shirtless outside of school. He fled into an alligator-infested canal. He wanted to be a gator snack. Deputy's located the guy. He was subject of a previous welfare check.

He was lying on the ground in front of Wadsworth. elementary school day before the fourth. Flaker County, he didn't have a shirt on. Deputy tried to check on him because he's just laying there in the ground. It's kind of weird, right? shirtless, laying in the ground. Didn't go to the school. Then I have kids at the school. Deputy checked on him. The guy fled, according to police. Flaker County, they said he fled. And then there was a call from a resident of Whittle Place. The guy was crawling around in the backyard trying to climb on their house. They got him before the gators did, though. They did a little mental check and then took him into custody. Stick with us. We got more in store. Our partner.

that help bring us the program. It's the folks over at Burn a gun. I'll tell you this a million times. I sleep like a baby with a full belly of milk if I have to use lethal force to protect myself or a loved one. I don't care. Doesn't bother me because, you know, I'm acting in a justifiable way. What really gets me, though, is that you've got to go to some places sometimes where your rights are restricted, where you're not able to carry, where you're not able to defend yourself. And heaven knows that they're not going to give you anybody to defend you either. So what do you got to do you got to find a workaround right this is where burn a gun comes in it's not a replacement it is another option to consider when your rights are compromised you need options when carrying is restricted

and this is where you have a personal security option that you should consider so berna they have a bunch of different models i don't care about any of them except for the c l for this purpose it's cL stands for compact launcher it's uh the size of an iPhone it's like it's another tool in your kid it shoots chemical layer 10 projectiles that can deter threats from up to 60 feet away compared to tasers and stun guns, one or two rounds for those. This has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. And it doesn't care about gun-free zone signs because it's not a gun. It doesn't care about any of that.

Like sands through the outer glass, so are the days of the United States. I mean, here we are five days after Independence Day where we celebrated the country.

And Maga wants to celebrate one part of the country, the greatness of it. And God bless them. I mean, it is a great country, militarily, economically, the ideals that were founded in 1776. But the other half is that, and our founders knew this. Our founders knew that we were a deeply imperfect country, right? I'm trying to figure out why. I mean, can you just not do the, but, no, no, no, no. America is so great.

we're the only nation that sacrificed, I mean, well over half a million of us in the Civil War, to pay a debt. We sent a quarter of a million to fight Nazis in Europe, to say nothing of World War I, going into Korea, Vietnam, everything else, Iraq, Afghanistan. No, no, no. Whenever anybody in the world needs help, who they call, they call the US of A. So it is a great country. No country is without fault because the country is made up of people and a person is smart. People are sheep. Thank you, Tommy Lee Jones, men and black. It is still the greatest, greatest nation that has ever been conceived. The founders took all, they looked at all of the great republics and they took everything good and did everything possible to structure a government where the bad is limited. They took the greatness. out of the Greek government,

Roman Republic, and fashioned it into a constitutional republic. They understood the threat of direct democracy. They understood the importance of Christian virtue without mandating a denomination, without mandating that in order to celebrate or even practice the freedoms that this nation bestows upon you by nature of birth and or citizenship,

you do not even have to subscribe to the faith that guarantees them like you do every other nation. It's really singular in its greatness and the brilliance of its conception. So that debate can be quiet, done with this stuff. Celebrate the U.S. of A, right? Man, I'm going to be watching that fight between the Italians and Mamdani. I don't think that's going to go so well for him. I'm just going to say, now coming up, let's talk about the wellness retreat,

that his wife is trying to retcon the story of Christ on. We got that. We got the latest with Iran. Charlie Kirk hearing ongoing that case. More. Stick with us.

We got that. We got the latest with Iran. Charlie Kirk hearing ongoing that case. More. Stick with us. And now, all of the news you would pretext. probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So I wanted to get to the story because we didn't have enough time, but it was the Pasadena one

where the guy in a wheelchair robbed a bank. I don't know how this happens, but he did. A man in a wheelchair handed a teller a note, claiming that he had a gun, took a few thousand dollars out of the, it's a bank over the south of Avenue over this. But it was like three clock in the afternoon, First Citizens Bank branch. And the teller handed over the currency, $1,000, the exact amount wasn't released. But he was wearing a black windbreaker. He's between 30 and 40 years old, had dark pants on. Nobody was hurt. The investigation is ongoing. Apparently he did get away. Kane. So he can hide, but he can't run. How does that happen?

you're able to wheel out of a bank after you hold it up and wheel away. I mean, nobody sees you. They can't catch you? What in the world is this? That happened. Oh, my gosh. West Virginia town fired their entire police force after the evidence room was allegedly broken into. Ooh, boy, that's a bad one.

This, in West Virginia, every single officer was fired after the evidence room was busted into. the Barrackville Police Department. They said effective immediately. The entire Barrackville Police Department has been relieved of duty by the mayor and city council. Apparently one officer said told Channel 12 that he came into work Tuesday morning, discovered the evidence room had been broken into. He took the news right to the mayor and the town council and suggested a member of the council may have had something to do with it.

And he said that he made the allegation after noting that the council allegedly mentioned they wanted to run an inventory of the department without officers present. And after claiming a council member refused or confessed to taking a set of police keys. So apparently he was immediately placed on an active status. The police clerk has stepped down. The clerk has stepped down. And apparently the officer told the mayor and counsel he's going to seek whistleblower protection. And that comes less than a week after the police chief of that same town suddenly resigned out of nowhere.

Wow. This sounds like East St. Louis. Remember when their city manager was killed? like he because he accidentally fell over a giant highway overpass Harvey Henderson that was my first investigative story that I covered out of school he just happened to fall 60 feet over a highway overpass because you know as one does they get out on an exit ramp and just enjoy the night air but that sounds that's bad do you think the city council is suss in this

they sound pretty suss man who got the keys I'm saying I'm saying that's crazy And lastly, a creepy cruise ship hairstylist is accused of serial groping of female passengers. This is another reason why cruise has freaked me out. 26-year-old Indian citizen working aboard Virgin Voyages. This ship called Brilliant Lady, it was an Alaskan cruise, lured unsuspecting passengers from the main salon into a secluded, dimly lit barbershop, and carried out assaults, according to the federal complaint. Why would no? No.

No. No. There would be no, no, no. And he tried to say that he was going to do a massage using underarm pressure points. Who buys this? Who buys this? Right? Is there a groupon? Yeah, a grope on?

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I can't. He would say, do you want to massage also? If you're getting your hair down on a cruise ship and someone's like, would you also like a massage? That's gross. No, go away.
