These are very violent evil people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, Israel would be gone. If I weren't president, Israel would be gone. There would be no Israel. And there would probably be no Middle East. You know, he's not wrong on this at all whatsoever. This is, he's reading the room accurately. And of course, all of this heated up, too, over the weekend with the, I don't want to say,

escalation because it's because it's not an escalation it's just on it's ongoing and if iran does not step in then if they if they don't if they don't step up and honor the words that they never honor agreements that are made and they never follow then what do you what do you expect so we had the latest with this and potus was talking about this forces struck the missiles near the strait of or Moose, we struck Iran. And this is like, I think, the first time we had, like, an actual strike. We fired a two rocket launcher specifically at the Strait of Warmoos. And then, of course, Tehran responds by attacking American forces. Now, here's one of the downsides that we're going to talk about with POTUS's strategy. And I, you know, I've been going kind of back and forth a little bit

because I think we all believe that it's incredibly important. to get this done and finish it out and use as little as possible of resources and money and, you know, the whole nine yards. But also doing this is going to drag it out a little bit, POTUS's way. POTUS is trying to use economic pressure to do economically what it would be a lot more catastrophically to do with munitions and etc. The downside to that is that this is going to drag into midterms. And, yeah, that's it. By the way, with midterms, we've got a lot to dive into as well, particularly with Texas.

And you're not going to be happy with some of the numbers that I have to share with you. You're not going to be happy with it. we've got some with the Senate race. So welcome to the radio program. We're getting started. We're going to get you set up this week. I think this is like, I think it's safe to say that this is kind of like the last, is this the last full week before some, before like summer kind of ends?

Is that what this is? I mean, if Labor Day weekend is the gauge, which it always used to be. I feel like we went back to school after Labor Day weekend. We did. Do people out there, do you guys, like, feel the same? way. Did you guys go back to school? I mean, again, Gen X graduated in the late 90s. So even then, I feel like we didn't. And the reason I say this is because I like to give you guys a timeline and when you can expect some action, you know what I mean? Because when we get into fall,

and you guys know, this is how it goes. And you get into fall, things start kicking off in an election year. It's pretty crazy. So we're going to dive into all of that and so much more. So as we, dive into it. Let's just go. So we got the latest with Iran. IRGC. They were going to launch rockets with sea mines into the straight and we acted. Our forces monitoring it. So you know what it sounds like when I hear this? Sounds like

we actually control the straight. But you guys, the media has been trying to tell you this isn't the case. The media has been trying to tell you that more frithril. Oh, that's what the woke Rikus has been saying. And they've been pushing the media to kind of repeat. it. So that's, that's, that's, that's, now this is going to impact midterms, but by how much,

I think depends also on how well the Republicans' message and how they are able to consistently update Americans as to what is happening, what they can expect, et cetera, et cetera. But we control the straight. And that's, I think, one of the big context. tested things that Iranian propaganda, which our own media repeats here, Iranian propaganda has been trying to promote. But it's not true. It's simply not true. Now, to this, this is cut seven. POTUS was talking about this narrative battle. Listen to those. But I never saw the kind of resistance that I have, even now. I mean, if anything, it's gotten worse. They want our country to lose the war with Iran, which isn't going to happen because we're

absolutely winning easily. They want our country to lose with Venezuela. When we went into Venezuela, they were hoping we were going to get hit bad, and instead it was one of the greatest, most lethal, quick attacks. We wanted in 48 minutes, the whole thing was over. Nobody ever talks about that. Nobody killed. A very brave helicopter pilot was badly wounded on the leg, and we'd go.

gave him the Congressional Medal of Honor because he landed that big Chinook right on time with a lot of people in it. And a lot of people couldn't have done that. Couldn't have done what he did. And he got. Yeah, guys, the guy needs to have a movie made after him for sure. He absolutely needs. He needs a movie made after him. So POTUS was saying in this, look, these forces and also the propaganda leading you to believe that we're the weak, this is all, again, this is all dives into this all dovetails into the same thing.

These are different aspects of the same giant battle, different fronts, whether it is believing in the Iranian propaganda, whether it is being misled by Woke Reich, all of it literally is this red-green alliance we've been talking to you about. That is incredibly important. We're going to dive into some serious, a little bit serious, more introspective stuff as it pertains to the right here coming up because I'm going to get to this little bit later, but we're going to talk about who has been talking about. discussing how Trump needs to be out of office. Tucker Carlson's been fantasizing about it. We're going to come, we're going to talk about that more at the bottom of the hour. I also want to hit this as well, a few other things, just to kind of clear. I have some odds and ends in this first part, and then we're going to move to this other, some of these other items.

So one of the things that POTUS has done and pulling up this press release on my giant four and a half foot wide screen, one of the things that POTUS is done is they're taking, like people who are fleeing anti-Semitism. Canada. So Canadian Jews that are leaving, that are fleeing because of the anti-Semitism in Canada, Trump is taking steps to, I mean, you want to talk about real asylum. That's real asylum. Now, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt had told POTUS that his state was ready to welcome Jewish families that have been fleeing, rising anti-Semitism. This comes after Canadian Christian leaders urged the U.S. to grant refuge to Jewish Canadians that are facing serious anti-Semitism.

They've been burning churches up there and then also going after Canadian Jews. Now, if you ever wonder where POTUS would have stood during World War II, you just saw it. If you ever wanted to know how POTUS would have acted in World War II, you saw it. It tells you everything that you need to know. So, consistency. Consistency. And I think that this is, this is how bad it's getting. You know, I said something, I've been talking about this for a while. And I think, you know, there are a couple of people out there.

They're like, well, Dana, it's not really that. It is. It actually is that bad. It legitimately is. And it's weird to think how quickly it has been expedited just in the past, well, within the past decade. So this is, this is pretty significant that POTUS is. doing this. I have the letters. Well, and I'm going to put this in your prep for those of you to sign up over at Substack. Now, I know. I got to move. I got to move because I got other things. A couple of

other. This is just the first part. I'm going to try to get through most of this. So Department of State tweeted out that they had revoked this Iraqi official that had been honored by Biden. And this is pretty crazy. She was on the terror watch list and somehow was still celebrated by Joe Biden and handed an award only in America, only with Democrats. Taif Sammy Mohammed, even the women, is appearing on, she appeared on the U.S. terrorist watch list after she got Biden's Women of Courage Award in 2022. Now, she was celebrated by the previous administration as one of the world's most courageous women.

In fact, she was presented her award personally by then Secretary of State. Anthony Blinken as the Iron Woman of Iraq crediting her with stopping bribes and uncovering schemes that enriched corrupt officials and fighting corruption and all of this stuff. Now, she is on the U.S. terror watch list. She's somewhere over in the Middle East. She can no longer enter the United States, which really does, as it's been, that's a huge reversal for someone who had received this very, very high profile award. And it's, I mean, understandable considering she was helping to facilitate terrorist financing through Iraq's financial system.

And people have been asking the Trump administration to take some action against her. Yeah, Fred Gile, it's a special award. So the State Department tweeted out, quote, we don't allow suspected terrorists to reside in our country. President Trump and Secretary Rubio took swift action to revoke Ms. Muhammad's visa and ensure she is no longer in the United States. I think that I completely agree with this. Good. These are all good things, all very, very good things. But there's also an issue, too, that has to deal with the Islamism that we're going to talk about coming up because it's good until you start getting corrupt judiciary involved and corrupted judiciary. and this is the capital L stuff, our partners that help bring you the program.

It's the folks at Alliance Defending Freedom. And look, this is a group that has been at the tip of the spear in the courtroom, in the state capital, helping with legal battles and legislation to protect our rights. Because see, the fight for America's freedom, that's how it happens. And if you want to preserve rights,

everything gets litigated. This is what they're doing. doing. They're making sure that these rights are preserved for not just us and our kids, but the future generations. And they've been fighting some of the biggest cultural and legal battles out there, whether it is the reversal of Roe v. Wade or whether it's the landmark free speech victory they won on behalf of a Christian counselor, whatever it is, they've been out there winning and they can't do it alone. They need your help. Because all this stuff, you know, having the paralegals, doing the research traveling to all of these different areas, going and arguing before SCOTUS, legal battles

are not cheap. And I hate saying that, but that's the reality of it. But this is what it costs to protect our rights at this level.

All right. So first up, oh gosh, what do I? Oh, here we go. I got to. Oh, where did I go with my stuff? Okay, here it is. Sorry, I have this giant screen. in front of me and I thought I was looking at what I was supposed to be looking at. Let's see. So how the media tries to create a health panic in the U.S. So they said there's a quarantine horror from Arthur's Vineyard as experts warn a risk from deadly infected bats across America. So this is first thing, right?

Here it is. Bats. Oh my gosh. Got a quarantine. Oh my gosh. This crazy, scary. And they said that the town of Tisbury reported that a dead bat was brought in to a home by a cat and it tested positive for a weird virus.

rabies at a rabies. Oh my gosh, the cats are in 45-day quarantine, oh, et cetera. Everyone's freaking out. Okay, that's all well and good. But now you have now four baby goats at a mobile petting zoo. They also test positive for rabies. This is in North Carolina. Everybody freak out.

Everybody freak out. Oh, my gosh. And here's another one. Is this really what it's called? Oh, it is. That's disgusting. A really gross, burning man, intimate time dome attendees are told, oh my gosh, now there's all kinds of viruses spreading there. just guys you don't need to worry or panic about a bat with rabies and Martha's Vineyard

and you don't need to worry about baby goats that have rabies in North Carolina they're taking care of it however if you are a modern neo hippie and you were in the desert at what they call the burning man orgy dome that's disgusting and you can completely prevent yourself from being exposed to any of that nastiness so just don't do it Abbott blocks funding in Texas for cameras as the bipartisan Fury boot just continues to explode. The automated license plate readers, they say they're not going to get the funding that apparently there was like a contract being finalized. There are not politicians are catching on. They're not popular with the public. I just, I don't like the idea that simply being in

public means that you get to be surveilled or that that's, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't agree with that. I don't agree with that concept. I know that there are people out there that support the flock cameras. Not a fan of it. Would you eat food that was delivered by a naked any KKID, Doordash driver? Because one guy got in Houston got called delivering food to a home in his birthday suit. It's gross.

And I don't think I would eat that. The customer said that it was vulgar. DoorDash said it was unacceptable. He's fired. Stick with us. Folks who won't make the program possible. It's our friends over at Relief Factory. You want relief from everyday aches and pains.

I hope all of you had a nice, lovely little weekend. It was pretty decent weekend. I was trying to stay unplugged as much as possible just to get ready for Congress,

coming back into session and to see what's happening. So welcome. Always good to see you. if you missed anything from our previous hour, including some very uncomfortable truth-filled conversation about Texas Senate race, you're going to want to go download the podcast because we talk about it there. Sorry, let's start with this. I just saw this from POTUS. So a couple of hours ago, Podus has been defending data centers as key to economic success. And only in POTUS's way could he put this. This is what he said, quote, I'm not going to try to do his voice. He writes,

The only reason that communities throughout the USA should not want data centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor. If they want to be successful and rich with far lower taxes and jobs all over the place, let data rain. The good news is that there are plenty of other places that want them. If we kill the golden goose, you will only have yourselves to blame. China could not be happier with this anti-data center movement. Actually, they can't believe it's happening. President DJT Hmm

He's not wrong And then now you've got Some people on truth social that are like I regret of supporting you Because he said this He's not wrong though He is not wrong

We've been talking about this So much of this is just Like wound up Chinese propaganda Look I'll say this again The laws that apply To development water usage, drainage, everything, are applicable to data center construction.

They don't get a pass. All the same walls are there. All the same zoning. The whole nine yards. It's all there. And you can't tell me that people cannot work with their communities to try and enforce good planning, placement, etc. No, I do not believe that.

a big giant developer can just come on in and throw our money bags around and overrule everyone. Maybe if people, I'm going to say it, it's going to be true. Maybe if people aren't paying attention enough, there's a reason why we have civic involvement. People can get mad at me and they can turn it off, but doesn't make it any less true. I know that you're like, I don't want to do anything else. I don't want to do anything else either. But tough beans, this is you would rather have too much liberty to attend to than too little to abridge Jefferson's quote.

But the reality of the situation is this. data is here to stay. It's here to stay. And unless we want China to take it, we need to start making sure that we're, we're controlling and not turning away this, this data center construction. And make it just putting it, look, we've been dealing with this in our town. So we show up to all of these meetings that they have. They're called spin meetings or the, the process that we have that does it. And you go and you meet and you look at everything your city council is looking at. to put it all in layman's terms. And you go through every step of the way to make sure that zoning restrictions are being followed

and that there's feedback and comment during those sections. And then when the developers come to town, we just ran a developer out. There was a developer that was trying to come into our town would not leave us alone. Second time, trying to come into our town and push upon us a giant apartment complex. We don't have apartments in our town. We're very particular about that. And some people get mad at us, but I don't give a right's backside. you don't pay tax here you don't get a say so they wanted to come in they were trying to build like

massive apartment complex which by the way guess what happens when you introduce that into a community of single family homes no offense but there's more democrats democrats like living on top of each other they do it's just a thing there've been studies about it they're fine with it we're not we're the people who are like we want our space no not next to me it's not in my back and by the way the people who are like not in my backyard. Damn right, I pay, I could buy and sell you and your mother for what I pay in tax. All the people who are like NIMBY, nimbie. Yeah, uh-huh. I pay the tax. Like James Brown said, I paid the cost to be the boss. If I say, I don't want it in my backyard, you're damn right. I don't want it in my backyard. And welcome to America. Don't like it. Bye. That's how it runs here.

When you pay more tax to me, you can complain to me about it. That being said. So he's right. And people can get mad at him all. day, but he's right. And he's looking out for America's best interest here. He gets it. To be honest, I was a little nervous about this one. I was a little nervous about what he was going to say about it. I knew at some point Trump's going to talk about data centers. And I'm like, oh, please let him just let it be. Don't let him get mad at data centers. I hope he's not getting into all that. But he doesn't like China with the CCP to an extent. So I think he sees it. He gets it. So he's making it to where, no, this one headline is wrong. I just saw this.

headline. It says Trump orders Americans to stop complaining about data centers. I hate stupid fake news. This is so stupid. He did not do that at all. He did not do that. He's just said, look, if you're going to do this, if you're going to oppose them, this is what you're going to be dealing with as a consequence. And he's not wrong. I mean, the stuff about the crazy weeping and ashing of teeth about this, I was talking to someone, their family works, while their immediate family works with data centers. And they were saying, you know, all the discussion even about water usage is incorrect because they're using so many different, there's just so many different ways for cooling, data center construction, you know, all of this.

You know, and if there is water used, it's recycled, all of this other stuff. It's almost like, you know, think about all of the things that everybody hated until they understood them. Printing press, smallpox inoculation, you know, penicillin. nuclear power, right? All of this. Rideshering, which, you know, still to be, I saw Waymo the other day. I don't know. I feel about that.

I'm just saying. But the hysteria is over the top. And it's being constantly churned by foreign manipulation. That's true. There are people who, I was looking at this, the polling for data. centers. I mean, it is dramatically, it's interesting because just as all of the hype on social media trying to get people to oppose data centers, the more that increased within people's algorithms. And there's been entities that have measured the increase of mentions in data

centers in a negative fashion on social media, whether it's on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or whatever, they've done these measures where they can tell and see it suggests a correlative between the frequency of mention and the negativity on social media. And then, of course, it being reflected in what people say about that when they're surveyed. Like the critics say, well, they consume untold quantities of water. And, you know, they kill all of the animals and there's all this. But that's not even true. I mean, not even remotely.

I mean, a lot of them will use air cooling. Some of them have, what is it, the open loop stuff, which I can even explain the science behind some of this stuff. Some have like the immersion and the direct liquid cooling, the closed loop water. That's when the water circulates and it just, the water's never exposed to air. It just constantly circulates. You're not using more or less water. It's just the way it is. There's so many different ways to do it. And the water usage by the numbers, like they were saying that, you know, most of these facilities use less water than like a Costco or a Walmart. That's significant. I'm going to include, I've got a draft that I'm working.

up about this. I have a column deadline that I got to meet tonight, but I'm looking at some point before the weekend, I have kind of like a one piece, like a one sheet on this so that you can refer to it if you want answers on everything from the environment to water, to usage, to all of this stuff, because so much of what I see out there, it's just not correct, right? I mean, yes, they use water, but A, they're not all alike, and not every center is the same, right? Not every facility is the same. Not every facility serves the same purpose. and that's the truth of it. I mean, we could sit here and go through this all day,

but I'm going to put this up in a piece. But the water argument about it is over, it's overblown, to be quite frank about it, it's completely overblown. And just like with every other industry or every other development, they also have to give an account for resources used, energy, etc. That's why it's very important to stay plugged in, locally. I wanted to, we're going to come back to this, but I also want to hit a couple of other things. So we got a big issue here as we were talking about, for instance, with Abdul al-Said,

right? Abdul al-Said, who has been forced now to run away from Hassan Piker, but he won't condemn him. He won't condemn him. He won't say his name really anymore. And he's trying to make it look like there is daylight between him and Hassan Piker. But that's not true. This is cut 11. Hassan Piker's like, no, no,

no, I was at, which I believe. El Saeed asked Hassan Piker to come stump for him. Listen to the dog. The attacks kicked into high gear. Third way, the think tank coming out and attacking me and all these other,

all these other consultants, all the, all the Beltway pundits coming after me. Yeah, that definitely happened. after the Abdul al-Said campaign. He asked me to stomp for him. And I had not considered that ever before.

I'd never really delivered a speech like that before. I mean, the reason that people began criticizing Hassan Pikers, because he said things like America deserve 9-11, and then he went to Cuba and was trying to blow smoke up the Castro regime. I mean, we could go on and on. That's a big problem. That is a very big problem. Abdul al-Said is very upset about having to deal with us.

This is cut 10. And he keeps trying to run from it. Watch. We're in the state of Michigan. If you want to make this race about a streamer in California, I just think you're missing the boat. This is about affordability in Michigan. This is about being able to see a doctor in Michigan. This is about Donald Trump's disastrous policies in Michigan.

That's what I'm focused on right now. I am not interested in a conversation about a social media person in California. And for folks who want to make this race about a social media person in California, let's not forget what. actually matters in our politics, what our politics really are about. I don't ever want my comments to hurt anybody's feelings. It's important to me that people understand that I take seriously the pain of all communities in this state. But I don't want to have a conversation about a Twitch streamer in California. This is not a serious conversation. Well, then why did he bring him to Michigan

to campaign with him dozens of times? If he didn't want to make this about a guy who's made insane remarks about how much he hates the United States and everyone in it, why then, did he personally invite the guy repeatedly to Michigan, repeatedly invite him to share this stage with him, to share the mic with him, and fundraise for him. Abdul al-Said is very excited to spend the money that Hassan Piker helped raise with him. He's the one who made this about, well, that's like, honestly, this is the same formula that abusers use when they try to gaslight you into thinking that it's all your fault. Oh, you noticed that I did this?

why are you making it about this? You notice that I brought this guy in. Why are you making it about this guy that I brought in? Well, you brought him in. Why did you bring him in? Why did you make it about this guy? That's the big question. The other question is this.

The Hassan Piker of the right, Tucker Carlson, has now said that Trump should be removed from office again. So when should J.D. Vance address this? because he's credited, he said Tucker Carlson's a close friend, he's been credited with getting Vance, not just in a Senate seat that he barely won, but also as vice president. I'm simply saying, when are we going to feel comfortable enough in our own personal constitutions and feel brave enough to ask these questions?

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Oh, boy.

All right. A man. I would think that this was a woman driver, but it's a man. He's drunk. So this happened in Cape Coral. A man faces DUI. He ran over everything. Curbs, property, trees, mailboxes.

Dang. Wow. And did it in front of police. He was. So Glenn Anthony Arrigo was arrested on charges. of driving under the influence, fleeing and eluding, resisting without violence, two counts of living the scene of a crash, three counts of DUI causing property damage. An officer watched him do it.

Like he watched him make a wide turn and just smack a tree right in somebody's yard. He turned into someone's yard and ran over their tree. Let's see. And then he drove away after the police, after the officer activated their lights and siren, ordered him to stop. He drove away and then ran over a mailbox. And another story says he was partially on the sidewalk. That's insane.

When he was pulled out, Aurego was accused of having bloodshot and watery eyes, slurred speech, poor coordination, strong odor of alcohol. He denied drinking at all. And so the crash, his Jeep got $10,000 in damage, $250 mailbox, $1,000 in other damage. Oh, my gosh, this guy's, yeah, let's just, this is too much, man, too much. Nobody needs that much. Let's see.

This, oh, another, hmm, another Cape Coral. Okay, let's, oh, I want to do the shark one. A Florida man was attacked by seven foot shark and said he would be 100% dead without the help of nearby boaters. He was savagely attacked by seven foot shark, and he was fishing in shallow water at a sandbar in Key West. Again, whose house are you in? The shark's house. And he says, I looked, he said, he said he got. bitten and he looked down because he felt it. He looked down and there was so much blood in the water.

He said it was pretty, he was in the hospital for a little bit. He noticed the shark try to move away, but he said it beeline toward him and latched onto his legs. And he remember thinking that he was not going to get off the beach and he's going to bleed out. And he goes, so I was sitting there making peace with myself. And he said that he saw two nearby boaters who just happened to be medical staff. Racing over to provide assistance, he said, like, angels coming out of the water. And he goes, and if it wasn't for them, I would be 100% dead on the beach. He said, you know, grace to God that they were medically trained people at nurses and EMTs,

it's actually pretty amazing because that normally, that wouldn't happen that way. That's, I mean, talk about the timing. Let's see, a Florida woman drove a car for two years without knowing, and now she's stuck with the bill. How do you not know that you're driving a car? She, I'm not going to say her last name. Can you may just spell it? Let me spell this last name. W-O-L-N-O-M-I-E-J-K-I.

I don't know. She learned that the Nissan that she was driving had been, for two years, had a fraudulent VIN number and that she was sold a stolen car. She got it from LC Motors 1 Inc in 2023, but the VIN was fraudulent and when they searched and they realized that the VIN was tied to a stolen car.

She was forced to return the SUV to the theft victim and now she doesn't have a ride. She's still making payments on the loan that she secured to purchase the vehicle. She goes, I'm paying $330 a month for a car that I don't have and living below my means right now. So the sheriff's office thinks that she's

a fraud victim. I think that the dealership should replace her car. The dealership says, that they bought the stolen car by auction and that they just sell use vehicles. You know, I guess they buy them in groups or whatever. And they said that we're not the owners of the vehicle and we're not a consumer-facing business, et cetera. I feel bad for.

But they say buyers should check and run the VIN, you know, whether it's through Carfax or another resource and make sure that the VIN on the door frame matches the vent on the dashboard and that they have all of that. True. but I do think that the dealership owes her car. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Okay, you ready? I don't know why this is a challenge or a video.

It's moms that are cracking eggs open baking and they smack their kids in the head with the egg to crack it. And the kids are like, oh, what is that? And the moms are laughing. I just find this absolutely retarded. This is the beginning of the end. I mean, why do women feel like they got to do this stuff? I mean, it's just you're like debasing your kid on video. You know, the kids trust you and you're there cooking with them.

And all the kids have the same reaction. They're shocked. Some of them cry. They look at their parent. Like, why would you do that to me? I just don't know why we have people who are obsessed with making asses of themselves on social media. I've retreated more away from sharing things on social media than I have ever, like in the past, several years. It's been like

hyper speed because it's performative, cringe nonsense. I just it is honestly, it's like we're writing our own conviction as a species with this stuff. But I see videos like this. What's the point of this? It's not funny.

I can't believe so many people. I'm gonna, hmm, I feel like all this stuff online has replaced a lot of I don't know. Sanity? I don't know.

I'm trying really, really hard to not be a full-on Archie bunker. But I think for some people, you know, you've got women drivers feel like there's a stereotype that's also applicable to social media in certain regards. I just don't, I just don't understand the point of it. This has been ongoing. This has been going on for over a year. Yeah, this was actually two, three-year-old thing that they're doing. It's coming up again, obviously, because of the Lindsay Clancy thing. But it's, I guess it shows you the progression.

That's, this is how it started. A few years ago, and now we got Lindsay. It's just weird. Why do people do this? People share too much online. They share too much online. And I think that that drives everyone into just being more miserable. But I just don't understand the point of doing stuff like this.

You just have too much time on your hands at that point, right? I don't know. Oh, gosh. You never want me as president ever, ever. It just, I don't know. It's weird. And I feel bad for the kids. I know the moms think it's a joke, but it's why?

Why? What is the purpose? Can you imagine? Like, what if they were baking them with their husbands and their husbands hit him in the head with an egg? Oh, my gosh, there'd be hands up in the air. Oh, my word, the wailing and gnash into the teeth. But they got more followers on social media from it. Oh, because that's what it's all about. People are trying to, I guess, replace, I don't know, like actual virtue and good moral fiber with clicks and likes. I hate everything. And now, all of the news you would preface. probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5.

All right. So apparently a Trump teleprompter operator has been ordered to pay nearly $173,000 over Calshe bets on speeches. Okay, but because he got caught? Is that what it is? He had access to speeches so he knew what to bet on and what the president would say. And he's been ordered to stop trading for three years and pay $173,000, according to. federal regulators. How do you, that's kind of crazy. How do you find that out? Gabriel Perez, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, said that Perez, who apparently was Trump's prompter operator since 2016, misappropriated material, non-public information, blah, blah,

and used that to trade on Cal She Betts. And he was placed on administration, administrative leave back in July. I bet he made a lot of money with it. But also, man, there is no loyal bees out there. ain't no loyal bees. I tell you what. Not a damn one of them. Not even your prompter operator. Yes, ICE plans to buy robot dogs. I actually love this idea.

They're looking to spend $2 million on robot dogs. Boston Dynamics. Why did I say that in the most Boston way past? Did you hear a Bastian? Wow. They're called the spot robots. They're going to help support public safety and law enforcement. operations. I just hope they don't get sad like those little mall robots did and drown themselves

in the river or something. Remember the raw robots that literally yeeded themselves in a pond to commit suicide? I can't have these dogs doing that.
