Episode Date: March 31, 2026

Europe hardens their stance against Trump while Marco Rubio says he will have to re-examine NATO following Spain blocking the use of their airspace and bases.

As far as President Trump and boots on the ground, I don't understand why the base, which they have already, they understand, wouldn't have faith in his ability to execute on this. Look at his track record of pursuing peace through strength, America first outcomes. What he's simply saying, and it's exactly true, and I've said from this podium, too, we're not going to foreclose any option. You can't fight and win a war if you tell your adversary what you are willing to do or what you are not willing to do, to include boots on the ground. Our adversary right now

thinks there are 15 different ways we could come at them with boots on the ground. And guess what? There are. So if we needed to, we could execute those options on behalf of the President of the United States and this department. So this is Sec War talking about

some of the latest developments which we're going to dive into with this ongoing response because that's what it is in Iran. Because it's not a war. reason somebody asked me by the way Dana why do you not call it a war because it's not

Congress hasn't declared Potus has completely followed the War Powers Act so until that time that he is required to seek congressional approval when he doesn't do something by the book I'll say so I mean you guys are

familiar enough with my background here we know that that's going to happen but the truth of the matter is is that he's followed the War Powers Act. And furthermore, you know, we talked about this yesterday, the 2001 use, authorized use of military force. If Congress was displeased with this, you need to ask yourself, why is it that they never made any effort to change it?

And I'm even including these libertarian candidates that are caucusing with ours throughout this whole thing. why did they ever why did they not ever change it because technically whether you agree with it or not you're talking about including iran in that is being covered because of what they did following 9-11 giving a harbor to al-Qaeda it's a serious issue so that's that's the reality of of what we're dealing with today this is what the reality of what we're dealing with with. So if they were unhappy with it, why didn't they do anything to, why didn't they clarify it? They had more than enough, ample opportunity to do so. Ample opportunity to do so. So we'll talk a little bit about that today, but we've got the latest with all of this. With the six to eight

weeks, Heggseth was talking about timeline. Let's play cut two real quick, because this is exactly what he was touching on was the timeline for this. Listen, not a question I'm going to answer or the president has said definitively, we have our own goals and guidance and things were military objectives that we're moving toward and things that we look at. And has he's articulated, you know, he said four to six weeks, six to eight weeks, three, it could be any, any particular number, but we would never reveal precisely what it is because our goal is to finish those objectives. And we're well on our way. And the chairman and I look at this every single day. It will be the president's determination and the president's determination alone when those objectives

are complete and when it serves the interest of the American people to cut that deal. To cut the deal indeed when it serves us. And that's what it's about. It's about the United States. It's about does it serve us right now? And no problem with suggesting that we've been out there putting our necks on the line, which brings me to NATO. Okay, so first up, we had the 2,000-pound bunker buster bomb that was dropped on this Iranian Ammo Depot that was yesterday evening. And I think everybody saw the, everybody saw the explosions before they saw anything else. So clearly there was something up. But they saw all of that go down.

And major explosion, you could see it some miles away. And it set off, it was this 2,000-pound bomb that set off the series of explosions elsewhere. And when POTUS had it up, he didn't really have a lot in, I mean, he didn't really, he said something about it on X. He had the video of it, but he didn't actually get into the extent that came out later. But it's a, this was after you had, while this was going on, and this was in Isfahan, an Iranian drone struck a fully loaded Kuwaiti tanker that was carrying about two million barrels of oil near the strait. And so then people were worried about an oil spill in the Persian Gulf. That's what, by the way, this isn't new for Iran. I guess people are forgetting all of the times that Iran has used drone swarms to go after these tankers.

I mean, how many, you guys remember under Obama Biden, they allowed the Iranians to board our vessel and put our soldiers on their knees with their hands behind their backs. And they tried messing with them for a number of hours, filmed it all for their propaganda and released it. That's the Obama-Biden podcast to stand policy approach. So they're assessing some of the damage on the tanker. We know that much. So the straight is, and this is where Trump loops in NATO, he says, it's a world's problem. Go get your own oil. And this is after the European Union has largely, and NATO has largely refused to help secure the straight.

They get more of their oil and LNG from this. than anybody else. He was posting about this yesterday, actually this morning as well, on X. And this is, you know, I mean, he's negotiating. This is what Carolyn Levitt cut forth said about this. Listen, from her presser yesterday. When the president says more reasonable, again, these folks are appearing more reasonable behind the scenes privately in these conversations than perhaps some of the previous leaders who are now no longer on planet Earth, because they lie. to the United States, and they strung us along in negotiations, and that was unacceptable to the president, which is why many of the previous leaders were killed. So again, this is another

historic opportunity for Iran to do the right thing. They could do the right thing. Will they do the right thing? Well, we know NATO is not helping. We know that Spain is not helping. And we know France also now is not assisting. France isn't, which we're going to discuss. But he says, look, you know, this is going to happen in weeks, not months. You're being crushed at this point. Gas hit $4 a gallon for the first time since August 2022. This is how I look at it. And I was thinking about this in relation to not just gas prices, LNG, but also just really towards the tilt of power in this sphere. It is unlike any other opportunity, I think, that has existed. And I just, does it bode better for the United States for this terrorist state to not be in a position of power?

I think so. Now, there are some that are kind of more aligned with Obama and Obama Biden that think otherwise. I think it was funny because I was looking at this post. Let me pull this up. here it is from POTUS. He says, all of these countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Ormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved, he said, in the decapitation of Iran. I have a suggestion for you. Number one, buy from the U.S. We have plenty. Number two, build up some delayed courage, go to the straight, and just, Kapslock, take it. You'll have to start

learning how to fight for yourself. The USA won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us. Iran has been essentially decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil. President DJT. I actually think they've been more than decimated. Decimated is about 10%. I think they've been more than decimated. I think they have been utterly, completely rocked. I mean, they're going through their upper echelon of leadership. Now they're at their D-listers, which is why they keep getting murked because they have an obsession with in-person meetings. It's one of the dumbest damn things I've ever seen in my life, but, you know, I'm not complaining. But it is, this is a, it's a fascinating thing to see, especially with NATO, getting most of their, I mean, they, we get, I told you guys before,

less than 2%, less than 2%. Less than 2%. This bodes better for Europe to be able to keep the straight open, pitch in, help out. It benefits them in the long run. They bitch and moan about the United States being a superpower and a nation builder. But when push comes to shove, they want the United States to do all of the work. And that's just, that's not sustainable. They need to pitch in. That's what Trump is talking about with us. That's what he's been hammering with this this whole time.

We also have this from Heggseth, cut three on regime change. He gives some insight here. Listen. The new Iranian regime should know that by now. This new regime, because regime change has occurred, should be wiser than the last. President Trump will make a deal he is willing. And the terms of the deal are known to them. If Iran is not willing, then the United States War Department will continue with even more intensity.

He's right. He's completely right. So the United States needs to pitch in. Rubio was really slamming NATO on this. This is a great soundbite from Rubio. Cut 7, where he gets right to the heart of this issue with these cowardly NATO nations. Listen. And I've been a big supporter of NATO. And one of the reasons why I've been a supporter of NATO is because I believe that these basing rights give us leverage and give us flexibility and operational capability all over the world. But if NATO is just about us defending Europe, of their attack, but them denying us basing rights when we need them, that's not a very good

arrangement. That's a hard one to stay engaged in and say this is good for the United States. So all of them's going to have to be reexamined. All of it's going to have to be reexamined. And he's right. This is the issue. It's not Trump that's destabilizing NATO, NATO's destabilizing NATO, with an action. And so we had yesterday, France was arguing that or Spain were saying that they're going to close their airspace. Now French, the French, this might be it. Our relations with them have been incredibly strained, just like with the UK.

They've been asked to do nothing, absolutely, barely nothing in support of this. And they get the most benefit from it. If you're not helping, you're getting in the way. And if you're getting in the way, that's a betrayal. Remember, during the 1979 revolution, who was it that gave the Islamist refuge? Who gave them refuge? There's the French. They literally, the French literally flew the Ayatollah into France to assume control.

So is it really shocking that this is where they are now? I mean, they've been demanding that we spend hundreds of billions of dollars on Ukraine, but they won't even assist with helping to keep open the Strait of Hormuz from where they benefit more greatly than we do by and large. I mean, we're not asking for them to send all of their equipment and military and boots on the ground. But that doesn't mean that they need to turn around and close their airspace and refuse accommodation for a fellow NATO member. Boy, the bill will come do someday, and that's going to be hell. You know how most makeup makes you look done, but not necessarily like yourself?

I get so tired of products that cover everything up, and it leaves product on my skin, and it makes it dry and cakey, and makes you feel like you're wearing a mask. So that's why I tried Jones Road Beauty's Miracle Bomb. You just warm up a small amount of product with your fingertips, you tap it on your cheeks, on your lips. You can even put a little bit on your eyelids if you want for some color. And it gives you this effortless, clean girl glow instead of that heavy makeup mask. And it can also replace so many steps and products. Like think of it, highlighter, bronzer, blush, your lip tint, but it's all in one little jar. No brushes, no 20 frillion step routine. I mean, it's great for busy mornings or

school drop off or travel. If you got like an early morning flight, you want to look nice, but not overdone or when you're running around after a workout and you just, you know, want to look fresh. And the best part is that Jones Road's formulas are clean. So they look natural and they feel like you're wearing next to nothing. Bring out your natural glow instead of hiding it with Jones Road. And for a limited time, you'll receive a free shimmer face oil on your first purchase when you use codena. So just head on over to jonesroadbeautcom and use codeana at checkout. And after you purchase, they'll ask where you heard about them. And please support the Dana show and tell them that I sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

All right. So first up, this, this is kind of crazy. This was the LA Times. Apparently, there was a pretty terrifying lab hidden in California with ties to the CCP, and it was like a bio lab. And they just, you know, just out and about, they ended up accidentally finding it in California. It is like on a residential street. It's a facility that was allegedly operated by a Chinese national involved in smuggling counterfeit COVID tests while they received millions and unexplained payments from China. And it was a code enforcement officer who discovered it, a clandestine bio lab. It's in Reedley, California. And it had tons of dangerous. pathogens, HIV, malaria, Ebola, all of it.

Pretty frightening. And they had refrigerators lined up in columns along a wall with labels that read blood and Ebola. Yeah. The code enforcement, an officer, she was walking deeper in the warehouse. She was passing all these lab workers filling pregnancy test kits. And she said that there was a source of a smell that brought her there and it was dropping from a thousand lab tested mice.

and when she started asking questions, it got real hostile, and she actually was worried about her safety. That sounds like literally like CSI, like a, but that's here. It's happening, really. An Alabama water system is ordered to add fluoride, and a judge slammed their blatant disregard of the law. This is Jefferson County in central Alabama, where they had to immediately resume adding fluoride

to the state's largest water system from a judge. They said it was a victory for the state. city of Birmingham and a lot of controversy. There was a lot of criticism about having it in there, et cetera, et cetera. So they're like fighting this out back and forth. So they had like a 90-day warning, et cetera, et cetera. Police used AI facial. This is crazy. AI facial recognition to arrested Tennessee woman for crimes committed in a state that she's never visited. That's pretty insane. I mean, this is like, what's that movie? Minority Report. That's what I was thinking of. I was Googling it. Minority Report. But in this story, this woman, she's a grandmother, Tennessee grandmother.

She spent more than five months in jail. And they said that she committed crimes in North Dakota, but she says she's never been to North Dakota. And police have acknowledged that there were a few errors in the case. And they pled changes in their operations, but they stopped short of issuing a direct apology. But she was arrested in July 14th of last year, so it's going to court, which is why it's in the headlines now. but yeah they kept her in there for five months until they realized okay yeah this is that's what really worries me about using AI for this kind of stuff is the false positive rate it's that's very troublesome it's a denial of due process it still is if red light cameras can be considered a denial

of due process then how is AI any different uh also three arrested in the UK after nearly a hundred million dollars worth of cocaine was found hidden in bananas boy that's no and the Air Canada's CEO is being forced to retire because he didn't know French. They weren't upset over the crash with planes. They were upset over the fact that the guy didn't know French. Our friends at human Superbeats Chews, you guys are very familiar with this product.

Make sure you go sign up over at Substack, Chapter and Verse, all kinds of good things. POTUS has said, NATO, go get your own damn oil, pound sand. He's done. He's done messing around. You knew this time was coming. Europe has not lifted a single finger to provide any kind of substantive assistance.

I mean, not even diplomatically, other than at NATO, we've been dealing with this straight pretty much with just our era. I mean, I know, are Gulf allies here and Israel? Because you have Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain. They have conveyed, apparently, according to Associated Press, in private conversations that they want significant changes in Iranian leadership. Okay, then make it happen. Pitch in. Make it happen. More visibly than whatever you're doing now.

Make it happen. I mean, there's arguably whether or not they have the military capability of doing so, there needs to be a lot more visible effort. Because Americans are going to be convinced otherwise. They simply will not. They're just not going to be convinced. And you also have the right, which is battling against itself, in preparation for 2028. These people can't see past 28. They can't see the forest for the trees.

But POTUS has said, understandably, that they need to pitch in and do something about it. Go get your own damn oil. I mean, he didn't say it just like that, but he pretty much did. I mean, essentially, everything that Rubio and Trump have said, especially when they talked about the immediacy of action, and then it came out that, oh, wow, look, Iran has these regional ballistic missiles that can go 4,000 kilometers.

Well, that's new. we were told repeatedly, even by Iran and the press and Democrats and the woke Reich that all they had were 2,000 kilometer missiles. Oh, that's a big changing. That's a big game changer right there. So he saw a window. I mean, and then the Iranians wouldn't negotiate seriously on anything. They were massacring tens of thousands of their own people because they were trying to prevent the overthrow of their regime, by their own people even. Now you kind of see, he vented this morning on his own true social, quote, all of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom,

which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran. I have a suggestion for you. Number one, buy from the U.S. We have plenty. And number two, build up some delayed courage. go to the straight and just take it. You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself. The USA won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us. Iran has been essentially decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil.

President DGT. And then Wall Street Journal last night said that POTUS has told AIDS, he might not worry about reopening the strait of hormone. news. Now, this is what's interesting. So the story, they said, POTUS told AIDS, that he is willing to end the military campaign against Iran, even if the strait remains largely closed, likely extending Tehran's grip on the waterway and leaving the complex operation to reopen it for a later date. They were reassessing a mission to pry open the choke point would push the conflict beyond his timeline of four to six weeks. they really want to just hobble the Navy and it's missile stocks and pressure Tehran diplomatically. Okay. Now, there's other military options they say that he could decide on, but that's not a priority for him. He really can't.

Here's the problem, though. The only people who can do this are the United States. Europe can't do it. They don't have the balls to do it. Europe doesn't even have the balls to protect its women and girls. Do you think that they have the spine to open the straight to benefit themselves primarily more than anybody else? NATO relies entirely on the United States. We've talked about this many times before.

We are their logistics for everything. We are NATO. They don't even want to help with escort duty. They don't even want to do that. And they cannot go and get their own oil and keep this straight open without the United States. And here's the other thing. Yes, I told you, I think last week we talked about what NATO gets, what Germany gets, etc. We get less than 2% oil and LNG.

And then that's just sold on the market globally. Okay? So it's less important for us. So, all right, Dana, I'm sold. We can just walk away from the straight. We don't have to keep it open. That's great. Is it, though?

So what's the alternative to that? Or what happens if we do that? Enter China. China controls another choke point. They virtually were taking the Panama Canal, and that was the first place that Rubio went to, if you remember, this second term. That was the first stop.

literally the first week of Trump was in office, Rubia was dispatched to Panama. China has been very slowly building up its Navy for years. And they are not satisfied with just creating havoc in the South Sea. You've seen them. They've taken their little fishing boats all the way to Peru. They've taken their stuff all the way over to Australia. No. the strait of Ormuz is a critical component for China's everything infrastructure.

And if we leave the straight, China will fill that power vacuum. China will control the straight. That gives China a lot of leverage. Does that make the United States weaker or stronger to allow China to control another choke point? You tell me, does it make the United States weaker or stronger to seed control of an energy choke point to China? Now you see the conundrum. That is why these people that sit here and argue for a complete withdrawal, there is something that has to fill that power vacuum. They mistake imperialism. they conflate imperialism with simply maintaining a buffer and maintaining positions of power and control

so that we are too strong to be messed with. That's not imperialistic. We're not wanting to control the land. We're not wanting to control their governments. We just want people nice to us that'll leave us the hell alone and not bomb us. Pretty simple. It's not just us that think that. Our Gulf allies do as well. For so long, they have told us to not react to Iran. Don't react to the Houthis. Don't react to Hezbollah. But now they are done, especially after they were getting hit on this. They, more than anyone, need the straight to be open.

More than Europe, more than China. They need the straight to be open. And this is where it gets very delicate. We have the Abraham Accords. All of these Gulf allies, have really come forward by partnering with us, signing the Abraham Accords. And they've been very encouraging where it concerns action on Iran. Some have helped to shoot down and target missiles.

But if you leave that, not only are you giving China an opening in the strait, but you're also weakening the Abraham Accords. You're stepping away from Gulf allies that will then look to China. Oh, China will step in then. Do you want China partnering with these countries and boxing out the United States, or do you think that we should maintain that position?

And if you think that China should assume that role, is that good or bad for the United States? This is pretty elementary stuff. So that's why I think POTUS is threatening Europe. And he should. I think he should say all European boats will be subject to egregious duties to pay for the protection and the escort services of the United States since they chose to not get involved in reopening the strait. Make them pay for the privilege of America's protection. If that's what they want to do, if they want to run it like a racket, then by God, run it like a racket.

if they want to volunteer themselves to be candidates for extortion, then by all means, it's protection. You can pay for some of the United States as protection since you didn't have the balls to come in and free up the straight. That's how I would look at it. And who's to say that POTUS doesn't do that? Hell, he's probably already thought about it and has a tweet composed right there. So this, you know, if they, I completely get his. anger over this. He has every right to be. He has every right to be. But Iran has to capitulate, and they can either do it the easy way or the real easy way. But this is a president for the first time

that doesn't give a rat's ass what Europe thinks. He's not focused grouping with NATO. He's not running to the Hague. Oh, please tell me what you think of our actions. He just doesn't care. Does it benefit the United States? Yes, in his opinion, and I happen to agree with him on this. Is it inconsistent with any position that he's held for over 40 years? No. What gets me are these people who are like, well, on this issue right here, I disagree with Trump. I'm going to tell you something.

I've disagreed with Trump on a hell of a lot of issues. I think the Trump accounts are one of the dumbest damn things I've ever heard of. It's socialism. It's moronic. You're demanding taxpayers basically, not basically. taxpayers subsidize the welfare of newborn babies and their families. That's exactly what I'm not talking about the private donations of the Dells that's separate. Read the proposal. I have. I've linked it and screenshot it on substack.

But does that mean I throw the baby out with the bathwater? Well, because I disagree with Trump on Trump accounts, I guess I'm just going to go ahead and let Democrats win and cut off everybody's willies and introduce DEI and just completely ruin the economy and everything else. Pack the Supreme Court, open the borders. No, because that's stupid. This is the president of the United States who is making some difficult moves. Not only to nullify Iran, but as Yates and I've talked many, many times before,

this is about really maybe as much about nullifying Iran as it is limiting China's influence in these parts of the world. like with Panama, straight over Moos, even looking at South Sea, all of it. The Lloyd's banking, the risk of war, all of it.

And he has really added a lot of muscle to these threats and positions. And he's done it. I think this has been a very, this has been a supremely successful campaign. Guys, you don't get B-52s in the skies unless you have total supremacy.

see, we've killed every one of their top leaders. They're now down to their tier three leaders now. Stop believing these panic and losers out there telling you that we're losing stuff. We are not. That's idiotic. But I'm going to tell you, for the people that may disagree with this, disagree with it all you want to. I will disagree with it when he goes beyond the War Powers Act. I will disagree with it when what he is doing does not fall under the 2001 authorized use of military force.

And if members of the Senate and the House have a problem with that, they should get off there fat asses and amended, including the libertarians that are there that have done jack all to amended or clarify at this entire time, even when they had total supremacy with majority. And now they're going to get mad? Sit the hell down. I'm not throwing the baby out with the bathwater with us. Just because you might disagree on one thing, doesn't mean, well, okay, well, I guess we'll go ahead and pack Supreme Court and open all the borders and everything.

That's what the woke rike wants. that is what they're advocating for. They might as well re-register as Democrats because they're sure as hell not Republicans. This has been an effective campaign. Everyone, the left and the woke Reich always say, oh my gosh, this is going to be an endless war. We haven't had that yet.

Stop it. He's been consistent on this issue. If nothing else, this issue he's been consistent on. Let him cook. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida, man. It's the cow that gets me every time, I think. All right.

So, okay, this is a weird one. This guy is super creepy. WFLA, a Florida man was arrested. And this was after they found human remains in two suitcases left in a remote area. Pombay. The man was arrested after a Florida man, after a police officer said they discovered human remains. and two suitcases that were left abandoned in a remote part of Palm Bay. Officers were called to the area off of Bombadier Boulevard because somebody said,

yeah, there's some vultures around this abandoned suitcase. And they said that the remote area is referred to as the compound. Whatever that means. Officers said they found a black suitcase line on the ground in the tall grass. It was partially open and had a strong odor. investigators later confirmed, affirmative. There were human remains inside of the suitcase. It also contained personal belongings, including an Amazon package addressed to Lucas

Sander Jones. A second suitcase found a short distance away from the first, also contained human remains. And then, as the investigation progressed, detectives learned that Jones was associated with the report of a missing person identified as Coley Lee Daniel. His mother reported him missing on March. 20 seconds. So they executed a search warrant. They found Jones with visible wounds and bruises consistent with everything that was happening. He was taken into custody, charged with tampering of

evidence, abuse of a dead body, and improper disposal of human remains. The investigation is ongoing. Wow. That's creepy. And I'm just going to say, the guy's mugshot looks like he would put somebody in a suitcase. I'm just saying, you know, I don't know. Also, a central Florida man built a 24 foot tall potty chair in his backyard. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. It's just really reckless to be suggesting that people should have children. When you now know in this country there's this affordability crisis, and for a two-person household, a married household, you need over $400,000 for childcare.

Oh, according to whom? So this was the view. view. She says, Sunny Hosten or Hosen, however the hell you say your name, says it's reckless to have children today. I think it's reckless to vote Democrat and expect

to have a family and not suffer the consequence of your vote. How is it reckless to they really, I think it's a form of population control, honestly. And look, it's having an effect. Fewer people are getting married. Fewer people are having kids.

I mean, we're going to start getting into like what China is facing right now. Japan to some extent with a completely lopsided society where you have an astronomical number of older people and a scant number of younger people and that's not a sustainable society. China's really going through it because they had their one child policy for so long. Japan is kind of going through it to a lesser degree but still now in the United States, Europe is going through it. I mean this has been a reality for 20 years now. The United States is now waiting into this. It's not reckless to have children today. It's reckless to be self-aggrandizing and to have bad discipline and to not have

proper priorities. Every generation has its own set of obstacles. Nothing is, nothing is easy and nor has it been easier for previous generations. There are some things now that make it a hell of a lot easier for people than that of older generations in their era and their prime. It's just you're just trading out variables, but the potential is still there. But it's really a status tactic to convince people otherwise. I mean, to convince them that you don't have the ability to climb out of your status absent government assistance. That's the real trick.

And that's what they're really trying to convince people. They're trying to convince them of helplessness. It's a helplessness that you will not be able to avail yourself of without the assistance of Uncle Sam. That's just a different way to tell the same lie that big government has been telling people for decade after decade after decade after decade. It's the same exact lie. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Okay, where to start?

I have a couple of other ones that I didn't get to previously. want to make sure that I do. But there, let's see, we had this story. Celine Dion is apparently doing a bunch of Parisian concerts, according to NBC. I guess she's going to be, there's a lot of people. I guess she can still pack the stadiums, auditoriums. She took a, she had a stiff person syndrome diagnosis, which is crazy. But she says she's going back on tour, so she's going to have a number of shows.

She's like the original Adele in a way. I know they're very different. still in terms of aesthetic. SCOTUS has declined to review the Tiger King Joe Exotic's case as he seeks appeal. This U.S. Supreme, you guys remember all of this, Tiger King got us through the earlier days of lockdown. Remember, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the case of Tiger King's Joe Exotic. He's currently serving a 21-year prison sentence for a murder for hire plot after hiring two men

to kill that damn Carol Baskin, which he was seeking to have overturned. He, of course, obviously the Netflix documentary, etc. He lost his appeal before the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in July. He's maintained his innocence. We've all watched the show. Just saying. Just saying. Oh, interesting.

Also, we, women's final four on repeat. You got UCon, UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, fighting for the time. Myanmar. NASA's Artemis II launch mission countdown begins. This is crazy. You know, we're going to go back to like the moon's, like, a lunar trip again. and now we have the Artemis 2 test flight underway at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Everybody's been arriving at their consoles, and the on-site countdown clock started ticking down

for the targeted launch time of 6.24 p.m. tomorrow, April Fool's. It's better not be an April Fool's joke because it's going to be the first manned launch of this that, well, in a long time going into lunar, basically, I think they said lunar orbit. but the countdown underway, the Artemis crew, NASA astronauts, everybody's in their crew headquarters, and everybody's focusing on readiness, technical verification, and they have to remain in quarantine under strict health monitoring and total, while they're completing all their medical checks to ensure last, it's like last looks for fitness before launch. They even have a controlled sleep schedule, which I did not know that.

I mean, I knew that they did like special nutrition and all that stuff, but they have a controlled sleep schedule and a nutrition plan to maintain energy and hydration specifically for launch. And then they get regular updates on all the configuration, the weather conditions, etc. So all that's happening tomorrow. I'm totally watching this. It's going to be really cool. And it'll be like on YouTube and all that stuff. And then vaping is likely to cause lung and oral cancer.

According to a new survey or a new study from Australia, vaping is now they said it's likely to cause lung and oral cancer, according to a bunch of new evidence. They said that there's no doubt that the cells and tissues of the oral cavity in the mouth and lungs are altered by inhalation from e-cigarettes. I think we kind of knew that that was coming. None of this ended up being any safer.
