You are here because this is real, and it is getting worse, and it can no longer be denied, and it can no longer be ignored, because it is time to crush this evil forever. The simple fact is none of this that I've just described is new. I like the way Rubio lays out. Policy. And he was talking about terrorism, because this is one of the big things that the administration is making a push for, is this. this left-wing terrorism, which is a real thing. I mean, it's very, you know, obviously we've seen it here in the United States. And he was talking about this woman in Greece because of a fire bomb, et cetera,

and how all of Europe is dealing with it. I think it's a smart move for the administration to focus on this. Welcome to the radio program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this first hour. The, um, a few things to unpack, as well as coming up a really big discussion on the, Well, Iran foreign policy and a whole bunch more because the vice president gave an interview

and I got some thoughts on this. We're going to have to unpack it. Some of you might get angry, but I don't care. I mean, it is. You guys, if you want to listen to conspiracy theories, you can watch the trash that is that Gal Sharpton's Godforsaken podcast. It's hemorrhue viewers. And you can go and watch what an actual crack whore looks like when they're going through conspiracy theories. or we can just talk about serious analysis.

But back to this point, with Rubio, the issue of leftist violence. I mean, you're good heavens. Look at some of the riots that you've seen in Spain. Or, well, France, they always riot, right? It's a day that ends in Y. They always riot. Give them a reason and they'll figure out some way to riot. But in the United States, growing ever more so.

Here's the other thing. There's a big segment. And it's not just on, I mean, there's, I'm not doing what about isn't. There's leftists that are cost playing as right to try to infiltrate and get you to behave like the left. But there's a lot of people in conservative media that are too afraid to talk about it. So they just stay with the same old born and 30,000 foot view. We'll get into that as well. But there's a good, I like Rubio.

I think he's very clear. I think he's very clear on stuff. I like the, I like his messaging. And it, it's very, you know what you're getting. Now, looking at Iran, we struck Iran more. The memorandum of understanding is pretty much dead, right? Have we admitted that the negotiations have failed? Have we all come to this realization?

They failed? I think massive military action would probably dictate that. Well, yeah. What gets me is that there's always this idea that if you think that negotiations failed, then somehow you're advocating for conflict or military involvement. And I've seen an increase in that. Every time I bring it up, even like in cuts that we put, maybe it's like on YouTube or Instagram or whatever, anytime I'm like, oh, well, you know, diplomacy failed. People always immediately, there's always a number of people that refer to while you're talking about having boots on the ground.

It's literally no one's making that argument except for the people pulling that straw man out of their backside. But I don't know what people think that they're going to get with Iran. I mean, I think Trump gave it the good old college try just to shut up the people that are in his cabinet or in his kitchen cabinet, rather, that keep saying, oh, no, they keep pushing this like Obama policy. Like, J.D. Vance is very much almost entirely similar to Barack Obama on Iranian policy. I'm not just saying that. It's God's honest truth on paper. And I will be very snobody about this because I've read extensively. I feel as though people who argue otherwise do have no idea. because it's true. So you have those people that are in his ear. And I think he just, I kind of think that he

stopped and went back as a way to shut that up, to show them, look, we've tried it your way for over 40 years. But I guess we'll try it one more time your way just to see, oh, look, it failed again. Because Iran isn't interested in negotiation. I don't know how many times we have to say it. You're talking about literally jihadi 12ers. They have no, they don't care at all. all. This is all about some sort of religious Armageddon for them. And so it's very difficult to enter into a negotiation with an entity that believes that it has a divine right to exterminate you for not believing as they do. I mean, it's literally a racial religion. If you really get down to it, it is. It's a racial sex cult. Let's be honest. But you can't negotiate with people who don't

look at it as policy. That's the big mistake. And so Trump has these people in his orbit that are encouraging him to look at it as such, but look what happens. I mean, again, this has been over 40 years of this, over 40 years of it. So the thought that this is going to be successful one more time, okay, so now we did, he did it, now we're back to striking Iran. And I don't know why the argument exists that, well, Iran is just one bailout away from behaving like a normal country. That's how they act.

The vice president, which we're going to dive into, his interview with Rogan, by the way, the whole Doves thing, I did not know that Rogan did not know that. Anyway, the whole interview that they had, I was shocked, genuinely. And I say this going into 28, I don't know how, I don't know what I, I don't know where I'm going to go in 28. I have no idea yet. I feel like it's too far off still, and I still hate everything and I hate everybody in D.C., so I don't know. I have no idea where I'm going to go. but all I know is that every single time JD fans goes out and goes an interview, I just feel like it's a disaster. And it shouldn't be.

This is the problem with not having a mooring. And this is a problem with trying to find acceptance with every single group. Playing to a one to two percent of the coalition that came from the left is not going to secure a victory in 28. It's absolutely not. Having a foreign policy that Barack Obama exhausted during his eight years in all. office is not going to win people on the right. It's just not. And you can sit here and blow it out your backside all day about how it's not the same, but it is the same. The same approach, the same negotiation, the same tactics, the same proposed sanctions, everything. Down to the letter. So we've

done that before, eight years. The only thing missing is sending pallets of cash, and I'm literally not exaggerating. That's, you know, everything that has been said and written, that's it on paper. So I don't know why going into that. I just, that interview, I just was shocked. So we're going to dive into that coming up. But I also think people need to not get too far over their skis and ahead of potus on this stuff. I look at it like this. You know how when you go to church and you hear a good sermon and then the preacher

wraps up the sermon and then you have the guy who's supposed to give closing prayer. You give up there and give closing prayer. You don't give your own mini sermon. You don't go up there and give a second sermon. sermon that detracts from the pastor's sermon. You go up there, you do what you're supposed to do, and you shut up. You know what I'm talking about? Everybody's got one of those in church. They step up there, and then they talk for 25 minutes. And you're like, we're supposed to be left with the pastor's sermon. That's what's supposed to be in our heads as we go back to our

cars and lives. We're not supposed to sit here. You're wandering, rambling, whatever. You're supposed to lead closing prayer and dismiss. That's it. You know exactly what I mean. So I feel like in many respects, Vance going out there and doing this is like the other pastor getting up or not the other pastor, just like one of the elders getting up and going on for like 20, 25 minutes and completely just distracting from the pastor's message. That's what it feels like. No joke. And I'm wondering where POTUS is on this because POTUS isn't quiet on purpose. He's quite, well, he is quite on purpose. He's not quite by accident.

It's very situationally motivated. And I'm just wondering if he's not, is he trying to teach him a lesson? I got to ask that. It feels that way, does it not? I mean, if you look at it as I do, you're like, hmm, what is up with this? What's up? The folks who help bring you the program, burn a gun, B.YRNA, it's not a gun. They have other models, but I don't care about a single one of the other models,

because the only one that you need to know right now is the CL that stands for a compact launcher. I have zero problem pumping lead through a threat. I will sleep like a baby at night while a threat to my life bleeds out on the sidewalk. I don't care. This is an option for the people who are denied to carry, whether it's by private property restrictions or municipal restrictions, whatever. Take your pick. You need to have a diverse range of defensive options.

I mean, for crying out loud, you carry different calibers and you carry blades. So when you are barred because of a game-free vune, then you need to have some kind of option. And this is where Berna comes in. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 60 feet away. The CL, the compact launcher is about the size of an iPhone. There's no recoil, easy target acquisition. And unlike the tasers and stun guns that have one to two rounds, this is 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. And it doesn't care about game-free-zune because it's not a gun.

and there's no background checks, there's no waiting periods, there are no permits, none of it. You order it online and they send it right to your front door. Diversify your options so that you have an option when yours are limited. Visit berna.com slash Dana to learn more. That's b.rna.com slash Dana. And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So the FBI is looking at using questionable AI tech to review signatures on seized

mail-in ballots. I'm so tired of having to worry about mail-in stuff. So it's part of POTUS's push to discredit the result. They're saying he's discrediting the results of the 2020 elections. Stop it. That is not what he's doing. Can we just full stop for a second? You had states that literally bypassed their own state constitutions under emergency

orders for COVID, and they got rid of temporarily all of these voter protections, like signature matching, dates on ballots, all of that. Georgia later on had to go back once the emergency order expired, and they revised their own state constitution to make permanent and codify a lot of these changes. And what Trump is saying, and other Republicans are saying, is that if you want other states to accept and live with the result of your state's elections, then you need to make sure that you are meeting the requirements

that you propose to the rest of the nation, when we all agree to accept each other's results, from the get-go. That's what this is about. I am so tired of the mis... The purposeful propaganda that they're pushing about this. YouTube joins meta

and appealing a jury verdict that faulted them for using what they said were social media users' addictions. Can you get addicted to social media? I think that's kind of weird. I think you can have an addictive personality, but I think that those things are just variables, I feel like, right?

I think there are certain things that actually you are attracted to more. And I think people look at that as an addiction. So you're telling me that the stuff I see about like dogs running and sheep dogs, like hurting sheep and happy puppies that that's them. You're addicted to that content. So they said that it's the platforms are hooking young users without concern for their well-being. That's where parents are supposed to step in, by the way. Just saying go to museums and movies.

slow aging according to a study. I think that's maybe not so much to do. I think it's maybe having those types of low stress hobbies and interest. That I think is what does it. More so than just like the museum and the movie theater itself. That's what it seems like. And a couple were accused of burning meth and a toaster. And they greeted deputies with a chainsaw coming from WSP TV really quickly.

If this loads, I can get to a dear heavens. Just load the damn thing. Yeah, Sheriff's office. Adam Hollis was in the shed burning meth in a toaster oven. And when cops arrived, they greeted them with a chainsaw. They were arrested. Stick with us. How much of your financial life exists as a number on a screen?

Lots of good stuff there. And that's at Substat. very interesting question that came up during the White House press avail because Caroline Leavitt is back. And when she was gone, we had the stock market thing with the opening with Bessent, Potus of the Trump accounts, all of that. And I've never heard anyone in the administration talk about this, and I've written a lot about it, that have been, that have talked about these Trump accounts and how, for instance, in the bill because the Trump accounts were passed in the one big beautiful bill, if you remember,

and anchor babies are included. They're included in this. They're not excluded from receiving these Trump accounts. Now, you remember, you have the Dell's contribution to the accounts, and then you have the $1,000 in seed money for the accounts that's coming from the Department of the Treasury. which means that that's our money. I wrote about this at Substack, and I can put this up again, but I went through the bill, and I annotated it for you. I had screenshots of the final bill and then all of the notes,

because as it says under the law, the Treasury will deposit $1,000 in the accounts of these children. The funds must be invested in an index fund which tracks the overall stock market. and it says people can contribute, right, up to $5,000 per year per child. The $1,000 from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which has already been signed in the law, it's drawing, and this is from the bill, will draw from federal revenue. It's coming from the Department of the Treasury.

That's taxpayer dollars. A lot of us have questions about that because that sounds like redistribution of wealth. There's a million things that you can do to free up capital that parents can invest with them, themselves because you're also talking about taking taxpayer dollars from families that have their own kids to raise. The other part is the key eligibility rules as published in the one big beautiful bill. The children must be born in the United States, but there's no requirement that the parents have to be. There's no requirement about the status of the parental requirements. Literally none specified.

So illegal aliens can absolutely open accounts for eligible kids. eligible kids mean all they have to do is be born here in the United States. There is not even a social security number required for the parents, and that was in the final version. That's now law. So this is the question that was asked to Caroline Lovett, because I haven't heard the administration talk about this at all. This is the first time that this has ever been discussed. Listen to this. Following the birthright citizenship case, is there concerned that babies that are born to illegal immigrants here in the United States are not excluded from these accounts? And also, since the $1,000 per child from the treasury seeds, these accounts, can you assuage concerns for those who feel this is wealth redistribution? I would certainly not describe it as that. As you know, this was an incredible public, private public partnership.

We had incredibly generous Americans, Michael Dell, and many others, who contributed to the fund for the Trump accounts. So that money will then be passed along to America's children, which I think is a great thing that all Americans from all political persuasions can agree upon. With respect to your question on birthright citizenship, I think the president has made his view and the White House has made our view on this case quite clear. We're going to continue to move forward to work with Congress, hopefully in the future, to remedy. this problem in our country and to ensure that we cannot have this scam continuing where you have foreigners from all around the world traveling to our country to give birth to babies who are then given the greatest privilege on the face of the planet American citizenship. That's not how our founding fathers intended this country to work or to operate and the

administration is committed to finding solutions to remedy that. So the first part of her answer, I wouldn't describe it is that. And I like Caroline, I disagree with her on that because it's exactly what it is. last part of her answer, if you read between the lines on that, does that sound like something that's going to come before POTUS to look at? The way she put that makes me think maybe that's a legislative oversight that might fall before POTUS to look at. I found the last part of her answer very interesting. Now, she says private public partnership. Now, the private public, The private was the Odells and others that have donated, right? The public, so it's accurate because that's in the bill. It comes, it's that seed money that comes from the Treasury. Now, I've had people say, well, this is going to replace Social Security.

I promise you it will not. Here's my fear about the accounts, which I hope that Republicans kind of look at. As it is state by state, Democrats are already talking about expanding these within their states. Now, consider the birthright citizenship. You're talking about states being able to open and offer these accounts, you pulling from our federal treasury. So in Colorado, they could decide to do something with your taxpayer dollars if you live in Maryland. That's a big issue. The eligibility, and POTUS wants SCOTUS, funny to say it like that, to reconsider, which I don't think they're going to the birthright citizenship thing. I think that there's,

what will end up happening is that a different aspect of that case is going to, at some point, go towards SCOTUS and they will review that. And it will likely, very similar to how Dobbs and or the Roe v. Wade, how that was kind of overturned by a subsequent case in Mississippi, Jackson Women's Health. I get that. That may, that might be something, that might be something similar that happens here because this was such a very narrow ruling. But however, the way, I mean, the question's legitimate. And I could tell she, she didn't really address the first part of it. She said, yes, POTUS does not like, you know, the anchor baby's illegal. But the fact is, is that they absolutely do.

I don't know how else to put it. It's open to that. I mean, I'm looking at it right now. We have the post. I'll drop this thing in in Slack for you guys. The eligibility requirements. By the way, there's two separate sets of requirements. The Odells have their own.

The Dells have their own set of requirements that's separate. And that's the $250 per child that is separate from the, from the $1,000 per child. The $1,000 that comes from the Treasury is the one that does not have, you don't have to have a valid Social Security number. You just, the only requirement is that you be, that the baby's born between January 1st, 2025 and December 31st, 2028 in the United States.

There's no, there's no requirements for the immigration status of parents. Parents aren't even required to have social security numbers, none of it. And it's automatic enrollment for qualifying newborns. beginning already. It already started in May. So it already started. Now, I've taken, in the piece that I have, this is all from the bill. So I quoted, that's just one part.

This is part of the synopsis of the bill after it was passed. And you can go to my post, and I'll put this out there again, that, I mean, this is, you know, it's all commendable. That's great. you wanted to do something for the nation's children, this is not the way to do it. This is what I talk about when I say the Quincy Institute, you know, Victor Orban of Hungary kind of thing. Remember in Hungary they were paying people to have kids because they wanted to increase the birth rate. And there were people here in the United States, Juan's showing you on this simulcast right now. There's my, bold to my emphasis, by the way.

That's just so you can understand parts of the law that I was specifically explaining following that block quote there. But in Hungary, they were paying people to have kids, right? And they were wanting to save their birth rate. They were wanting to have one, they needed people to have more kids. But unfortunately, it didn't really work. And then after the payments ended, the birth rate actually fell to lower levels than it was before they began the program. So it was a massive failure. And the reason being is because there are so many other things at play.

If it's just an issue of getting money, that's an easy fix. but that's not what that's not what's plaguing. That's not what's dragging down the birth rate. There are so many things that factor into it. Cultural issues aside, which is a big deal. Think about all the cultural fights that we're having in this country, the belief about women and men and when you should get married and how attitudes have changed about young marriage

and starting families young and all of this other stuff. Aside from that, there are a number of things policy-wise that make it very difficult. I mean, we live in a society where you, have to have in a family. I mean, really, if you're wanting to live the American dream, the way that people think it should be lived, you have to have both parents working. And that kind of gets into some of the cultural stuff. I think a lot of people believe that luxury is a necessity.

They think that the average way of living has been, I think, especially with social media, has been falsely inflated. There was a piece that came out last week. that I had that gets into how people are wealthier than they've ever been. They're wealthier than they've ever been and they're being more proactive about their health than ever, but they're miserable. And you know what the most off-sighted thing was? It was because they keep comparing themselves to everything that they see curated on social media. So average everyday stuff on social media is presented as being luxury and over the top.

people curate their stuff to make it to make them seem like they're living their best lives. But that's not an accurate representation. And it gives you this false idea about what middle class is. And so we end up comparing what we have to everyone else and we're all miserable. That's a huge driving factor into this, which gets into my point about the cultural aspect of this. But policy-wise, I mean, holy hell, we need lower taxes. If not get rid of income tax outright. get rid of property tax outright.

There are a million ways to approach funding roads and emergency services and all of that. All of that needs to be completely overhauled. Corporate taxes, capital gains, all of this. There are ways that we can make everything more financially advantageous that will do more to increase the birth rate than just simply throwing $1,000 at everyone in redistributing wealth. That's just putting a Band-Aid on this. the problem. So that's my point. That's why it failed in Hungary. That's why it's not going to

have any kind of impact here. But nobody wants to see that. I'm so glad this came up. This is the first time ever that the administration has addressed this, ever. So I hope, I was a little, I was pretty hopeful at the last part of her answer because it sounded as though, yeah, well, the potus is going to look into that. You know, I'm hoping that he does. At the very least, it's wealth redistribution, but at the very least, make it to where anchor babies aren't eligible. Because do you realize that you're literally paying people to have babies here? You're paying illegal aliens to have babies here because it's automatic enrollment. They're born in the hospital. It's automatic enrollment. You know that, right? Like how they file for social, all of that.

You got a baby born in the hospital. The hospital starts to pay, that's how that works. And I, yeah, I don't know how on the heels of the birthright ruling, birthright citizenship ruling, you can be supporting this type of policy because it's a free $1,000 to have a baby here. You're paying people to do that. Illegal aliens. Our partners that help bring you the program. It is the folks over at Ghostbed. And if you want to sleep comfortably, you don't want to overheat.

So this story is the fault of Vegas, Larry, and Kane. Had to do with Flager County. All right, let's try to get into this, because this is going to be tough. I did not know that, okay, in my, I did not know that such a device existed. A 52-year-old man named James Shepard was caught with a whizzy

in the back of a patrol car. Now you might be going, what is the Wizzinator? I am right with you. I've never heard of this in my life. He was, it's like a fake, it's a fallace and a fake bladder.

And apparently they're calling it a jerry-rigged Wisenator per investigators. The guy was driving on a suspended license and he got pulled over by Flager County Sheriff's Office, James Shepard 52 of Palm Coast. He had a suspended license violation of felony probation that he was already serving for several burglaries and thefts,

so deputies arrested him. And they said his other crime was strapped to his groin. He had a jerry-rigged whizzenator, a fake bladder of fake urine wired to a heating pad with a fake dong to make it look convincing. And on the way to jail, he complained about a shoulder injury, so the deputy involved moved his handcuffs to the front as a courtesy, and then he decided to pull that contraption out of his pants

and fling it onto the floorboard of the patrol car. I'm not even reading the Click Orlando story, because the quote was when the deputy asked him about the wet copulatory organ on the floor, Shepard delivered the yellowest lie ever heard. He said, it's not mine. it wasn't his he kept he would lied about no the fake male copulatory organ and the pee in the floor is not mine wow so he's going back to the pokey he like apparently stole all these appliances enough to open an appliance store all this stuff so yeah he why okay was that because he had court ordered drug screenings but is that why he had it on him at that time so he was actually telling the truth when he said that pee was probably not his.

Ew. That is the extent that some people, I don't mean to sound naive, but that's the extent that they go to. Or you could just not do the drugs. There's also that. Partners that bring you the program. It is our friends that are over at Relief Factor.

Like Sands Through the Hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Political ambition, is that true? No, but people keep asking me if I'm running for president. And I don't know, I might. I'm serious. I don't know. I might because people keep asking me to do it.

I actually think I would be a really good president of the United States. Okay, like you're being serious. No, I'm being totally serious. So what would it taste? For the people to want me. No one wants that. He is emotional and he's petty and he's vindictive and he's hyper. He's more emotional than a woman.

I've known Don for years. He is super emotional. He's a super emotional. Nobody's talking about that. Nobody wants him to run for president. First off, Democrats wouldn't even allow it. they would run him out. You know he's got back.

You know he's got baggage, right? He's got baggage. Lots of it. And I can't even, he would like probably collapse in the floor of the Oval Office screaming if there was a serious like foreign policy issue

that popped up while he was president. There's no way. We can't do that. Good heavens. No. No, no, no. So where to even start? I have so, oh man,

I have so much to unpack. And we have to continue this conversation about this interview going into second hour and there's a lot there. So now apparently if you, I, I love how these people are like, everything is an op. Everybody that I disagree with is an op. So I see people saying all of this criticism of Vance is an op. I think actually saying that the criticism of Vance is an op is an op. That's the actual truth of it. I mean, would you like me to name? Because there's some people, like human events has people that it's absolutely an op. I mean, we can sit, I don't know any of these people. Most of them blocked me online.

Who is it, Pesoburg or whatever? The guy who ended up losing his security clearance under Trump, he had a security clearance pulled by Trump. And he's out there saying any criticism of Vance is an op. He's a literal op. That guy's a literal op. So, I mean, come on. We've seen this so many times. You know, one of the fun things about having grown up, in this industry is you can see a leftist from a mile away. And I see them put on the veneers of being on the right, republicanism, GOP, MAGA, whatever, but they're leftist. They promote leftist policies, all of it.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right, so L7's bassist has brain cancer. We played L7 quite a bit. Their base is Jennifer Finch, unless you're like, what, we're into that kind of of music in the 90s, you probably have no idea who they are. They're a big hit song, pretend that we're dead. That was the big hit song, but she's got aggressive brain cancer that it was announced.

So that's kind of crazy, I think about that. Good heavens. Fight over humanoid robots has shut down a car factory for the first time. Hyundai versus South Korean auto workers, they've gone on a partial strike per the Wall Street Journal. They're worried about their future job prospects. And they were talking, I mean, they're trying to get their unions to, which I feel like, have we, we haven't really dealt with that. I'm looking this up. We haven't really dealt

with it here in the United States yet. I'm wondering how that's going to go. So they're fighting over this South Korea right now because they had this human robot, humanoid, sorry, robot worker that they called Atlas. And so tens of thousands of Korean auto employees, it's like a six foot two robot that they had unveiled and they said, no, Atlas is never going to step on a production line. It's not going to happen unless all the unions agree. And then, they're worried about AI. So they're preparing a strike because they're not getting assurances. We've got to figure out how to deal with robotics and AI guys.

It's just going to be something we've got to do before it busts up all kinds of industries. An upstate New York school district is going to use a humanoid robot teacher this fall. That's kind of weird. Like already, here we are. Robots for everything. It's a small rural district. And it's on the Seneca Nation Reservation. And it's in western New York.

They said it's not going to replace. the classroom teacher, but it is going to be a learning support to students and educators, whatever that means. So we'll see. And this is the robot section. Robotaxie riders are falling asleep, and people are calling 911 because they're getting stuck and stranded everywhere.
