Welcome to the program. I think one of the reasons why Kent got so over the top in his remarks with his resignation letter is that he needed the protection of podcast to stand because he screwed up and he knew it. And so how to salvage your rep? Let's just go. Let's go after what podcast to Stan is going after, right? So this is cut, golly, this is cut four. Dear heavens, go ahead and play this.

This is crazy. This is his little interview with Tucker Kurt Charlson. And then, you know, Charlie Kirk is killed publicly in a very horrific way, and we're not really even allowed to look into that at all. And Charlie Kirk was one of President Trump's closest advisors, and he also advocated heavily against a war with Iran. He was in the Oval Office in the lead up to the 12-day war. I wasn't particularly close with Charlie. He was very gracious to me when I was running for Congress, very, very supportive. So we knew each other.

And the last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this earth was in June in the West Wing in the stairway. And I said hi to him and he looked me in the eye. And he said very loudly and it's a small, you've been in the West Wing. It's small. It's a tight space. And he said, Joe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran. Very loudly. He was single-minded.

And he walked off and I believe into the Oval. So when one of President Trump's closest advisors who is vocally advocating for us to- I always find it disgusting when people try to go and exploit the memory of dead people by accusing them by saying that they've said things that nobody would know that they have said. My friend Eric Connor, he goes, I saw this same wicked redacted when Andrew Breitbart passed, opportunity is claiming to know what Andrew would have done or said or told them in private. It's the perfect, but you can't disprove it. B.S. move. Con artist always use. Except you can, though, with this. Let's play cut seven. This was just last, this was when we bombed Iran last June.

And you might say, Charlie, do you support or oppose this? I support President Trump. That's my answer. I know the man. He's the commander-in-chief. He's the man for the hour. And he's had the weight of the world on his shoulders. So in a situation like this, I support my friend. And he's had my back, and I have his. That's my, it's my perspective. By the way, I also look at this and I say, and I understand the arguments of people that, you know, oh, don't intervene and all that, I get it. But boy, if we not exhausted so many diplomatic channels and options, here is Netanyahu 261, praising and congratulating President Trump. Hmm. Interesting. I think people might want to be very careful of accusing someone who did a lot

of broadcasting what they would, of saying that they would, that they felt a certain way when they can speak for themselves and they don't need to be exploited by individuals with nefarious motives. They don't need to be exploited and have words put in their mouth for them posthumously, which is the correct way that you say that, Gail Sharpton, posthumously, okay? And like, mockaber is macabre. So, that's just your anecdote. Yeah, that's just your anecdote. Are you kidding me? Seriously? Oh my gosh. So this is, I just, stop it. Just stop it. Like I said, I haven't agreed with Trump on everything, but I think he's proven his consistency on this, and I'm willing to see it out. So, you know, like I said, I've always called balls and strikes, and I'm going to continue to do so now. And if people don't like it, they can choke on it and die in an AIDS fire. Just don't care. It's not my circus, not my monkeys. I'm joking, of course. Not really. But, it's just absolutely asinine to see people freak out the way that they do when we're talking about

mere policy disagreement on the right. And I think a lot of it's just hyper online. You need to be aware that there is absolutely a sci-up underway. I talked about this yesterday. They have all the bots out. All the bots are out today. That's when you know you're over the target. So I get meaner and louder. And as a result, you know, I was talking about this yesterday, the situation with Joe Kent. And it does put Tulsi Gabbard into a very odd position. And the statement that she came out with, she didn't affirm support for what POTUS did. She merely said he has the authority to do so. I mean, it's not really her place, if you want to be fair, to say for her to affirm, you know, whether or not she agrees or doesn't agree. Her job is to make the

facilitation of these decisions easy and bring forth the necessary information. So I'll give her an out on that. I would say that whatever position she's in, and I haven't made up my mind about her yet. The reason I haven't is because there's some very smart people that I know and have known very well offline for a number of years who like her, and that gives me pause because I always thought that, you know, these people had some good judgment. And then there's a couple of people who don't. So, but I don't know, I don't know where I come out on this yet. There's, there's too many things there that I'm not a paranoid person, but I do get suspicious. And there are a lot of things that are happening that just kind of have me raise in my eyebrow a little bit.

But I do think that this was interesting. This is cut eight, where she says she's concerned that Joe Kent within his resignation, that he said what he said in his letter. Listen to this. With that statement, do you agree or disagree with what this letter was put out by former director, Kent. He said a lot of things in that letter. Ultimately, we have provided the president with the intelligence assessments, and the president is elected by the American people and makes his own decisions based on the information that's available to him. But do you agree with, does that statement he made blaming Israel concern you? Yes.

Hmm. Does it concern you? Yes, she says. It concerns her. And I give her credit for that as well. I think she's trying to just be, she's trying to keep her cards close and she's trying to be very even-handed, but I do appreciate that she said that because that's the thing that I think is so weird about his resignation letter.

Everything does not have to be made about Israel. But here's what I think. If you didn't know this, the investigation into Joe Kent predates the letter. It actually predates his resignation letter by several months. This came out yesterday and was confirmed by numerous,

actually conservative-leaning reporters that are on the hill, including some that I know, and some that really like him and were a little bit dismayed about that. But the investigation predates the letter by several months, right? So someone found out that he was leaking. Someone found out that he was leaking. And apparently it was made clear to Tulsi Gabbard, he's got to go. In fact, it was also reported that when it came to light that he was leaking, he had a private meeting with the vice president and Tulsi Gabbard and that he was told, look, if you're going to do this resignation thing, you need to talk to POTUS and you need to have an honest conversation and you need to not be doing, you know, you can't be leaking because that's, you know, you leaking classified information is a felonious criminal activity. And apparently he just disregarded what was told to him in the private meeting with the vice president and Tulsi Gabbard. and then he came out with the resignation letter.

Now, this is how it looks. If you're being investigated for leaking and you decide that you need to get ahead of the story, that's a good way to do it. And I think that he brought Israel into it because he needed protection and he thought he was going to be able, which he assumed correctly,

the moment you start, if you're like, oh, the Jews or anything like that, the moment you start doing that, podcast to stand, is going to come and rally around you because they're dumb enough to do that. So I think he did this, thinking that he was going to be able to trigger that faction and have them rally around him for protection.

And then immediately the day after, he announces he's going on Tucker, he's going on Gail Sharpton's show, he's going on all of these other people's programs that are all in that podcast to Stan subgroup, right? So that's what a lot of people leave out when they're talking about this, that he was leaking information. That's not a proper whistleblower. If he was a proper whistleblower, he would have followed the protocol to do so. And there is a protocol for doing that. If a government worker wants to report fraud, they have to go to the Office of the Inspector General. There is a whole process for it so that protections are put in place, no matter. what they're saying, no matter what whistle they're blowing, there is a process to protect whistleblowers. That is why, yes, you should be suspicious when that protocol is not followed. And you can't tell

me that there aren't enough people in Congress that would have been sympathetic to what he's saying that would have completely guided him through that process. They absolutely would have. So the process is you go to the office of the inspector general or you go to or the office of special counsel and you start there and you make sure from there that you get protected status right you want to make sure that you get protected status that's how that's how it works you don't just start leaking to the press which apparently is what was happening and then these whatever you disclose is protected up until the time you want to have your they have a hearing whether it's closed door open door or whatever and every federal agency has uh they have protections and and and special

protected status for this right they and they have investigative investigatory sub agencies that look into all of this so you start with the office of uh inspector general or the office of special counsel and then you go from there. This falls under 41 U.S.C. subsection 4712. You are protected. If you are a federal worker, you are protected when reporting to the OIG, when reporting to Congress, or when reporting to agency officials. And it has to be secured. This is the key. Classified information, and that's apparently what he's being accused of leaking. If it pertains to classified information, one of the reasons that you have to follow this protocol is to keep classified information classified. It has to be reported through secure channels to the OIG or the Inspector General.

That is how it works. And there is a complete protection for it. There's literally an act, the Whistleblower Protection Act. There's a whole thing for it. Then you also have the Whistleblower Enhancement Protection Act. That protects you from demotion and termination and suspension and retaliation, all of it. And they can even, the OSC can even request a temporary hold or stay to, prevent any kind of retaliatory action.

So if you're a legitimate whistleblower, you're following this protocol to not only protect yourself, but to also safeguard the information that you have. When I see people who don't follow this, I cannot take them seriously in their protestations. That is the key. And this is why you saw a lot of this with Biden, by the way. Oh my gosh, we saw tons of this under the Biden administration. administration. The FBI, I think it was the DOJ as well. That's, by the way, this is how we ended up finding a lot of the Fusion GPS stuff, how they were laundering in 2016, laundering discredited

oppo through the press so that they could falsify their, falsify the documentation and bypass the standard operating procedure in order to get surveillance warrants. on people that were working within the Trump campaign. And then one of them, Carter Page, they were accusing him of being a Russian asset. And then the CIA had to get involved and go, you guys are morons. He's literally our asset against Russia. That's a fact. They actually had to intervene.

So we saw this a lot with Biden because this happened under Biden. This is how we know a lot of the Hunter Biden stuff. Do you want to know how we know that Hunter Biden was high off his mind on cocaine, driving a rental car through the desert with his dead brother, his dead brother's AG, what is it, fob in the car and his pass in the car. And then he gets so drunk he can't drive anymore and he left the car out in the desert and Secret Service had to go get it. Do you know how we know that? Whistleblowers! Do you know how we know that Ashley Biden left a diary in a drug flop house?

Whistleblowers. Do you want to know how we know that Hunter Biden was under investigation for getting too cozy and making money with the CCP and lying about their finances? whistleblowers. So there is a protected process. Joe Kent did not follow it. So it seems very conveniently timed. But why did he change? Because just a couple of years ago, he was saying, bomb I ran. He sounded like damn Lindsey Graham. What changed? All right, kids, if you have ever fought with a garden hose, and you know exactly what I'm talking about, like the kinks and the tangles and sometimes it looks bad after a year and the whole thing turns into a rubber knot the second that you need it. A lot of people replace their hoses like every couple of years. It's a springtime tradition for some folks.

But now there is the world's number one expanding garden hose. It's called the pocket hose and it really is that small. And they have their new pocket hose ballistic. This thing is tough. It's reinforced. I don't know what this is. Liquid crystal polymer. It's like the same thing that they use in bulletproof vest, which means it can handle your household. can probably even handle terrorists. This thing actually stretches out so ungodly long. It's, this thing goes out to 25 feet. And then you turn on the water. It expands to the full-sized hose. But look, look how little it is. And it's very lightweight. You know, you turn the water off. It shrinks right back down to twee size, pocket size. So you're not wrestling this giant hose back into the garage. I know there's a million jokes to be made here. But the point is, is that their new ballistic version is even better because it has five times stronger than

steel fiber and it has this like little pocket pivot. That's what this thing is. It's like 360 degrees pocket pivot. So there's no kinking, no tangled mess. And now it's also upgraded with a UV coating. So it doesn't look like absolute hot garbage after summer. And it has even thicker washers to help resist leak. So for a limited time, you can get the pocket hose ballistic, ballistic with a free 360 degree pocket pivot. That's what this thing is. It's the pocket pivot. And you also get a thumb drive nozzle. All you have to do is text. Dana to 64-3-0-0-0-60. 64-0-0-0.

So that's text Dana to 6-4-0-0-0 and get, not one, but two free gifts, your ballistic pocket hose. We were talking last hour about the situation with Joe Kent, and I'm correcting some of the absolute lies that are going around about this. And one of those is that he's a, you know, like a, he's this whistleblower. And I compared him in a way to, well, I did. I said he's Alexander Vincent. I mean, they were both accused of leaking things that were undermining the United States. And Vindman, he did in some respects follow the protocol for whistleblowers.

And if you want to go, if you want to go listen to that, that's in our podcast last hour, and you can check that out. But the thing is, Joe Kent did not follow the whistleblower protocol. That's why he does not have a protected status. Furthermore, the investigation into him began months ago. That was confirmed by the administration. It was confirmed by numerous reports. And they conferred, I mean, this began months ago. They knew he was leaking.

So people have been asking, well, why didn't, wasn't his clearance? Well, it was. That's the whole thing. His access to intelligence was removed. and he had his clearance flagged. I just feel like if people are going to argue about this stuff online, they need to know what the hell they're talking about. Otherwise, they look stupid.

And nobody wants to look stupid, right? So his clearance was already pulled. All of this was already underway. My thought is he came out with the resignation letter to get ahead of this from breaking. I mean, I told you that he had a private meeting with the vice president and Tulsi Gabbard who found out what was going to happen.

and they were telling him to talk to POTUS, and apparently he disregarded that and decided to go his own way. Now, Whistleblower Protection Act and then the Enhancement Act, this protects your status. It protects you from retaliation. It protects you from demotion.

And it also protects the classified information that you're being accused of leaking otherwise. So, I mean, this is a lot like the leaks that were happening during the whole battle with the Biden administration and Trump. wrong. Who is the guy that leaked all that information? I can't think of his name. He draws the stuff in the sand. Oh, Comey. It's like what Comey leaked. I don't think his was classified, but I do think it was

privileged information to the press through a friend, and that was one of the things that they were going to try to get him on. But the point is that he didn't follow the whistleblower protection. So why in the world, how does somebody like Joe Kent change? Now, you know, we talked yesterday, he's flip-flot back and forth. He was a registered Democrat. He was a Bernie Sanders guy. I mean, I know that there's some out there that think that he was doing it as a part of Operation Chaos, but there's a lot more out there to indicate that it was a lot more serious than that. He ended up marrying a woman who, I think it's safe to describe, as the leftist. She works with the gray zone. She is listed as a contributor there and has authored pieces there. That's Max Blumenthal, who was a big Clinton stooge.

They created the gray zone. They used foreign money to help create this. entity and it has people from Russia today, which is a Kremlin founded and funded publication. They just call themselves RT now, people from Sputnik, all this other stuff. And it is all about that red-green alliance. And they, this is the, I mean, when you read their, read this stuff that they have, there's no mistake as to where their political proclivities lie. Now, it's very much like a red-green alliance kind of thing, right? So she, It seems like it started changing with her. It seems like this is a guy who, you know, served his country.

And I'm going to talk about that here in a moment. And then he ends up getting with this woman, marrying his second wife. And she's with Blumenthal and she's got a lot of very odd associations. And, you know, it seems honestly like she converted him to whatever mind virus she has. That's what it seems like because that's when it all started. And then all of a sudden he's 180. There are tons of tweets out. He sounded like Lindsey Graham before.

He was out there, bomb Iran, go after I ran. Numerous tweets. He was trying to scrub his Twitter timeline feverishly, but he wasn't able to get everything. And a bunch of different sites picked up all of the tweets that he had. And you're talking about stuff literally like his recent as two, barely two years, barely two years ago. Late 24. October of 2024 is when he was saying a lot. of this stuff. Like, yeah, go after Iran. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all this. And then all of a sudden

it changes. That's also suspicious. When someone does a 180 like that, and there is no observable reason why, and they've offered no explanation, that is your discernment kind of raising an alarm, right? That makes sense. And then he doesn't follow the protocol for the Whistleblower Protection Act and just leaks it, starts leaking stuff out. All of a sudden, all these stories are appearing in Axios and everything else and everyone. Kane and I were talking about it two weeks ago. Where are these leaks coming from? Because the administration thus far had been really good about it. Now we know Caldwell, Dan Caldwell, who had been hired by DNI, who was a DNI guy, he ended up getting over a DOD and he was caught leaking to the press and Heggseth fired him immediately.

So this would be the second DNI guy who's been leaking per reports. So there's a lot of red flags there legitimately. I've had some people tell me too, and I've seen this a lot out there. And I do take great exception to this because I feel like it is inexcusably un-American when I see stuff like this. And it has to do with, you know, he's served Alexander Vindman. served, all these people served, and you have these individuals out there saying, well, he's a combat vet and how dare you disrespect a combat vet? Wait a minute. Are you trying to diminish the service of veterans who are not accused of leaking classified information by using them as a

human shield for one who is accused of leaking classified information? Because that seems like a great move of disrespect to a group of people you're trying to white night for. That does not work on me. Our nation, we liberated ourselves from the rule of the redcoats. We liberated ourselves from having to check our opinions with members of the military. And in this great republic, all are equal before the law and all are equal underneath it when that law is broken. We are not going to sit here and lazily fall back on appeals to authority as a way to squash criticism,

questions, and dissent. It is about one of the most un-American damn things I have ever seen, and it does not. work on me. You are not expected to forfeit your opinion if you didn't serve, no more than you are expected to forfeit your opinion if you did. And I will have you know that there are tons of amazing veterans out there who are aghast at the stuff that they're reading in the headlines. No one is the spokesperson for them all. And yes, you are free to criticize when it is merited. Just like people were criticizing

Benedict Arnold or Alexander Vindman. There's a reason why an investigation was begun months ago that had nothing to do with the letter. They caught this early on and flagged it. That's why his clearance was pulled before this resignation letter. So I think people need to be accurate. Don't become the legacy press that you hate by promoting lies and propaganda. Don't try to manipulate the details of a story to fit a bunk narrative. That's what the left does. Now, I realize we have a lot of leftists that

have infected the right, but those who are truly constitutionalists need to practice enhanced discernment in these very tense times. And by the way, the freedom to speak and everything else and ask questions regardless of authority, that still applies in this nation today. And it even, even to those who behave dishonorably. So with that out of the way, it is, there's a lot of questions. And it raises even more questions when you see that immediately it was all planned. He goes on Tucker's show, Kent goes on Tucker show. Then immediately Kent's on Gal Sharpton show today.

And then he's speaking at, what is his name? Joe Yep and Steve Bannon's very, very agitating, new word, we're just making it up. They're a neo-Catholic group. It's a group of Catholics that literally just became Catholic, and they have this, like, pronounced mission to take over Catholicism, because they know better than all of you other Catholics out there, apparently, and they're all brand new. I don't know. I mean, it's like me trying to take over the NFL.

I don't know. It just seems weird. I don't know anything about football, but here I am, you know, I don't know. So that's all very organized. And like I said, I think that he was leaking and he got caught and he knew the story was going to come out and he had to get ahead of it. And he knew that Tulsi Gabbard was going to be testifying in front of the Senate Intel. And so he decided, okay, all right, let's do it now. And against apparently what Gabbard and Vance even told him, at least reportedly.

but I do think it's weird that they knew about it. And then comes out with this letter and then tries to invoke Israel into it so that he can get protection from the woke rike in podcastistan. And then here you go. It's very transparent. Do you know why it's so easily observable?

Because we've seen the left do this for decades. It's the same tactic that the left does. And I will absolutely judge somebody by their fruits. That's called discernment. So if someone's acting like a leftist, guess what? I'm going to think that you're a leftist. Like if you're out there murdering people with an axe, I'm going to think you're an axe murderer, right? All right, folks, this one's for the women listening and for the guys who like what this product serves, okay? So it's for the ladies in your lives because this is a bigger deal than most people realize. And all ladies out there, you hear the same complaint. The brassiers, the bras that dig in, the straps that leave marks, the shapewear that's horrible. it rolls down the second you sit in a chair. It's uncomfortable. It's annoying. And honestly, you just want to rip it off and set it on fire in your driveway. Honestly, that's what you want to do. So that's why so many women are switching to honey love. They have this crossover brawl that's become a favorite of a lot

of ladies because it gives real lift and support. But without the underwire, with no poking and no pinching and no red marks, then they also have a smoothing back panel that lays flat under t-shirts. So there's no lines showing through the clothes that's telling everybody what bra you're wearing. And it actually works for a huge range of sizes. So from 30A all the way up to 44G. So if you want a natural feel, also they have these original soft cups or if you want a little bit more shape, they have the new crossover contour with light foam pads. And their shapewear, women are swearing by it. It's designed with targeted compression that smooths and supports without squeezing the life out of you. So there's no roll down. You're not, you know, not breathing and the fabric is breathable enough to wear all day.

Honey Love is designed by actual women who actually wear the product, which is probably why it works the way that it's supposed to. So treat yourself to the most advanced bras and shapewear on the market and use my exclusive link to save 20% off Honeylove at honeylove.com slash Dana. That's honeylove.com slash Dana. And after you check out, they're going to ask you where you heard. about them and support the show and tell him your girl Dana sent you. Experience the new standard in comfort and support with Honey Love. I'm telling you there is a faction that is trying to stab the administration in the back and undermine America. And there are people who dress up in the robes of patriotism, but there

are no patriots. They worship people like Alexander Dugan, who we talked about. And we haven't finish talking about. They worship him. They repeat his talking points. They promote his idiocy. They go on Qatari-funded vacations. They go and visit the parts of Russia that the Kremlin will allow them to see. And it's all designed to try to diminish America's strength on the international stage. Peace through strength. So yes, I don't think the economist knows a single thing of what it's talking about. And these stories are horrific. You can't, you can't negotiate with the Iranians. I mean, that was made very, very clear to the administration when they came in and said, yeah, we got 11 bombs and we're not giving up nothing. That's, that was the problem. And then they

were manufacturing missiles at a breakneck pace because China was a aiding them. And China was goading the United States to get into this manufacturing race with Iran to see who could make more ballistic missiles compared to who could make more receptors to thwart them. And then while we were busy doing that, China would be freed to do whatever it wanted in the Pacific. It is just very fascinating to me, too, to see the number of people who apparently were completely unaware that Trump felt the way he felt about this for 40 years. Goodness. But there is an opt to try to damage support for it, except there's tons of support for it. I'm looking at actually, I said eight surveys. This is nine. jail partners. It's a pretty nice. It was over 1,800 survey sample, and it showed that 83% of

likely Republican voters, likely Republican voters, strongly or somewhat support Operation Epic Fury. Fewer than 9% say they strongly or somewhat opposed military action in Iran. And nearly 80% of respondents said that the U.S. should continue its campaign until Iran's military capabilities are destroyed. And it was barely 16 that said Trump should stop the conflict immediately. immediately. So everything that podcast to stand is doing is not working. They've been trying to convince him so hard about this. One of the things that you need to understand about this, too, is that this is not just about Iran. Israel's being used as a cudgel, yes. And there is definitely people who, it's not the problem with the Israeli government they have, which is separate

from what they're doing, which is all, they just don't like Jews. That's just, I mean, you can just watch, judge them by their fruits, and we absolutely are. We have God-given discernment. But they're using it as a cudgel because this is about 2028 as much as it is about anything else. This is a fight. It's now busted out into the open and we're all pretending that it's not about 2028. It is about a faction that's looking to usurp POTUS right now as he is at the almost midway point for his final term. And they're trying to take this opportunity while they have this access in the White House to try to usurp him now and go around him and undermine his support so that they can get in a better position for 28. And if that means tanking everything for midterms,

they will. They actually, it's easier for them if midterms tank. It's easier because then they can cast Trump as the boogeyman. If you think the criticism of Trump has begun on the right with these factions, I should say the cosplayers faction on the right. You haven't seen anything yet. You haven't seen anything. The same people who were trying to, to bounce everybody out of the Republican Party for having a different choice in the primary are the ones wheeling the rhetorical shibs and stabbing the administration in the back right now. And they're pretending that it's over conflict, but it's not. They're trying to preserve access by hopping on to the next thing that they think is going to be the best bet to get power in 28.

That's what this is about for those people. Some of them are using those folks as useful idiots because they are, and they're seeding this country for Islamism. a fact too. You know in Irving, Texas down the road from where we are, where we are, the Irving City Council has approved in naming all these roads, these Arabic names, Muhammad this, Muhammad that. There's like 15 damn roads named Muhammad Kane. You lived, you lived in Irving, you know. I mean, how do you know where you go? Well, you've got to make a right on Muhammad Drive. Well, okay, there's five Muhammad drives. Muhammad Circle. Yeah. What about Muhammad Avenue?

Muhammad Lane? Yeah. I mean, it's Muhammad Street. It's different. That's Mohamed Boulevard. Oh, jeez. But, and the city council voted to allow it. This is happening bit by bit here in the United States. And if everyone's shrieking over to Jews, guess what they're not paying attention to? Because they can't, you know that, because they've all, Tucker Carlson has done the same damn show for six months.

It's because they're all focusing on this stuff. This is why I keep saying, this seems like an inter-party, very online thing. But, you know, as we talked about with Bridget Fetty yesterday, this is. What happens online is usually a couple of years ahead of what happens in the real world. This is coming and it will affect you. I'm just trying to make you aware of everything that's out there. I'll give you my perspective on it, but I'm going to give you everything that's out there. And here's the funny thing.

And this is what I find so entertaining about it. I voted for Trump three times in the general election, but in every primary I had a different choice. Because I liked governors and my biggest criticism of Trump was I didn't trust the people he surrounded himself with. Starting in 2016, sloppy Steve Bannon, some of the other picks that he made later on, these are people who ended up betraying him and betraying some of the other people that they worked with in the administration. But I voted for him in the general, and I call balls and strikes.

I'm the most consistent person in this business, and I say that with a full snobby head, because I'm going to just blow my own horn, I should, because I've taken a lot of hits for it. So I don't have a zealous dog in this fight, but I should. sure as hell will call balls and strikes. So everybody's sitting here going, oh, well, you know, you're a mager or you're not maga. I've called everything in the book and I've been insulted by better. None of that affects me. The point is, as it was, this is an absolute op from the people who are the biggest turncoats in the movement. Absolute turncoats. Benedict Arnold couldn't have done, have performed so well in today's environment. But that's exactly what it is. Podcast

just stands doing the job. And they found a poster boy to help them do it. And now you see it's making the headlines in foreign press. Oh my gosh, somebody within DNI is criticizing POTUS and doing this with POTUS, and they're really using it as a cudgel. RT, the Kremlin news site, they've been putting all of this stuff up on their front pages. Al Jazeera, Qatari. They've been a little bit more nuanced because they're mad at Iran right now. So that's been interesting to see.

But the gray zone, all of the Red Green Alliance stuff, they've all been just trumpeting this as though it's gospel truth. It's been very interesting to watch. Loyalty is non-existent in this business. It is non-existent in politics. And you are seeing these people who sold you on loyalty for so long, now turn heel. It's exactly what you're witnessing. This is why you cannot trust these people and you cannot farm out your activism to grifters.

There's always grifters in the movement. We saw it in the Tea Party. And they're trying to tell you that MAGA is dead. That's the new thing. They're trying to claim that MAGA is dead. Pull after poll after pull after pole shows that is false. That's what they did with the Tea Party. The Tea Party eventually did die. It needed to, though. Because whenever you have an insurgent movement like that, it either fizzles out and everyone moves and graduates to a different role that they were able to secure because they were successful in their activism and advocacy, or they get entirely co-opted. So, and I've seen that happen. I fought it myself.

And then you're seeing the same thing with MAGA. The difference with MAGA, though, is that, and I think that they're recognizing it, it is more of a spider structure than a starfish. So they thought that they would be able to hijack the movement from Trump and, you know, rhetorically shiv Trump, but they're not able to. So now they have to default to their plan. which is to proclaim that it is dead and try to poison association with it. And so for the next couple of weeks, you're going to see this bill. They're going to proclaim that it's dead

and they're going to try to stain you by association. That is the newest tactic that's emerging. I don't know. Why would you trust these people? Because they're turn codes. Trust yourself and trust your own discernment and trust what you see. I mean, if POTUS hadn't followed War Powers Act, sure you'd have absolutely you'd have criticism as we move our partners for this portion of our program it's our friends over at american financing this is america's home for home loans and american financing is doing something big banks hate they're helping people get out from under high interest debt and you know what that means you're being charged what 20% interest for putting things that used to be able to afford no problem but thanks to the remnants of inflation it's a lot harder

We've known that California has had a very, very difficult time building anything, whether it's high-speed trains, desalinization plants, anything like that. But now this is coming to light. They had a project in, this was north of Los Angeles, and it was a wildlife bridge. Okay, I'm really concerned about that word bridge. It's doing a lot of hefty living here. It's not a bridge. How would you describe just its current state, Kane, how would you describe it? Oh, it's current state?

Yeah. I don't know. It looks like kind of a park on top of a highway. Juan's getting ready to show you what it looks like. It's supposed to be a wildlife bridge, but it's not a wildlife bridge. Now, if you're watching the simulcast of the radio show, that's what you're seeing. It is just like a covered part of the highway. There is no bridge there, and then there's dirt on top of it.

That's it. Yeah. So we got some problems with this. Right. I don't get it. So we have this wildlife bridge. And I'm looking at the cost. They said that the Annandberg Wildlife Crossing project has exceeded. Oh my gosh, you guys, it's $100 million. This thing is literally $100 million. Sorry, 114 million. No. And it's been four years in construction. It's just a bridge for the animals to use so they don't get hit on the highway. Now, I do think that, hear me on, I do think that there is some legitimacy to having a little wildlife bridge. Dude, I could, I could make one. I could build, I could build an animal bridge that does not cost $100 million.

Where's the bridge part of it? That's where I'm really confused about. So that looks really dumb. And they don't have it. It's been over four years. I'm looking at all these different photos of it. All these, and they're going to have to have more money to finish it. The crossing was designed to support a wide range of species from insects to large mammals.

And it's also received additional funding from the California Transportation Commission to help cover the increased expenses as construction continues. Taxpayer money, but it's fun. First, it goes over the 101. It was projected to cost $92 million. And it was supposed to be completed last year. So 114 so far, and it's still not. Hang on, let me look something up.

Let me look something. How much did it cost for Florida to rebuild the Sanibel Bridge? in Florida after the hurricane. Let's look this up. Hmm. Oh. So the bridge and that they had to rebuild and that was a major bridge for traffic, that was, you know, like $100 million. They actually got temporary repairs completed in 15 days, and all access to the island was restored in just like three months, basically. And then they did other stuff.

They prettied it up and added other stuff after they got it open. Yeah, that was, wow, three-mile part of a critical connection to Sanable. I've taken that bridge before. This is a wildlife bridge. By the time this is done, it'll probably be more than that one cost. That's insane. Yeah, it's not connecting to any other roads. No.

It's literally just the side of the highway connecting to the other side of the highway. Yes. And so Gavin Newsom has been out there. I don't know what he thinks he's trying to do. He promised, oh gosh, he had promised to build a bridge cougars and butterflies. So like a special access for his wife and butterflies. And now it's another boondoggle and it's another bridge to nowhere. I don't even understand how California continues to exist because they have just like an unfinished railway that's just there standing and the company that was

involved in that. A French company left and went to Africa where they did the same thing in two years. And then Newsome, someone goes, well, how is California even a real place? And they go, how is Florida a real place? How is Texas? See, we can do it too. And then they took pictures of stuff right after a hurricane came through. And it's already been fixed, by the way. That's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. And he, by the way, he shared pictures of bridges that were either decommissioned or literally right in the middle, in the aftermath of hurricane recovery.

And then, like, three months later, the bridge was done. Or one bridge was decommissioned and is not even in service anymore. He is a bimbo. He's a male bimbo. Mimbo? What do you call a male Bimbo? No, I want a word for it. Hang on. Mimbo, though. I think you've used that word. What do you call a male thing? That's look. Oh, it's a Hymbo.

Oh, okay. I mean, I'll take it. So he's a Hymbo. I mean, now again, like I said, I don't, I don't think that it's dumb to have something like this. I do think you can actually reduce accidents, et cetera, et cetera. I mean, I lived out in rural areas. I grew up in a rural area. I believe, I know. like deer ground carp I mean you gotta keep you gotta keep your head on a swivel

for that during particular seasons and I've hit deer so I know several times they just caught nowhere so I get it but why can they just made a tunnel on our ground at this point would that have been easier for them

I was thinking that too but then again you know the homeless and everyone else will ruin it for the animals at that point oh I didn't even think about that oh yeah and the gangbangers oh my gosh and the cartels

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, you got to have a bridge. You don't want more tunnels. I mean, this is just, in the Netherlands they have this. In Switzerland, they have it. I saw it myself when we were in the Netherlands. But they can't do it in California because they're just absolutely idiotic.

Because there's so much corruption. Got to have it for the cougars, cane. California cougars need it. It's just self-owned. Oh, my gosh. You can't have this guy running for president. I mean, I don't know if he would actually make it. I kind of wonder if Democrats even like him.

So, yeah, it's going to be $114 million. All right. So additionally, I want to make sure we're getting everything. I mentioned earlier. This was a British story, and this was after I was reading about how King Charles, he was having the state dinner cane for the Nigerian leader to be observant of Ramadan dietary restrictions. so there will be no meat served. And now King Charles' youth charity is cancelled a boxing course for disadvantaged girls

instead of banning biological males after parents raised safety concerns. The King's Trust. They were going to have a, quote, get started with boxing and fitness for women course, for girls ages 16 to 25, and it was open for, quote, Female identifying or presenting people, end quote. Which is stupid. Female identifying? What if I identify as a unicorn?

Just tape a, you know what? I'll use a paper towel roll and tape it to a headband and affix it to my head. Look, I'm a unicorn. And if you don't affirm it, you're a bigot. He's going to dine an AIDS fire. So it's always the AIDS fire. You know, it's not having a regular fire. This is just a spicier fire.

That's what it is. So female identifying or presenting, that's also stupid. I'm female presenting. Like, are you presenting a female copulatory organ? Because, oh, like, what? So a concerned parent contacted the charity because they were like, we do not want a 25-year-old biological male to beat up teenage girls.

And instead of limiting the course to women only, the King's Trust decided to withdraw it as an offer to young people. So, no, there will be no. fitness and boxing course for women and girls to help disadvantaged young women so that they can benefit from it. It is more important not to hurt the feelings of the men who like to tape and tuck and pretend that they're women. So they took down the web page and yeah, so they did all of that. They just need to get him out of the way now. That is incredibly unfair and absolutely ridiculous. Of course, one of those like red greenies, right? He's one of those, I'm an environmentalist fly everywhere.

Not a fan. They need to just have that William take over because he seems sensible. Have him, have him, I mean, I don't know really what they're even able to do anymore, but they just need to have him take over. That's insane. All right, speaking of the left, what are they going to do about all those elementary schools that are named after Caesar Chavez? Now, I say this because this story from the New York Times is insane. I'm not going to get into all the details. of it because I cannot stand reading stories about predation on children. It just, I get ragey and it's sickening. Animals and kids. I can't read about it. This guy, wow, his biographer says that Chavez's web of sexual abuse remained untangled and hidden because the movement in his

foundation and the United Farm Workers, they benefited from him being presented as a positive person. And apparently it was really, really bad. The New York Times had at least three women who went on record. There are apparently a ton others. He apparently sexually abused then underage victims, Anna, Marguia, and Deborah Rojas. And also, what is it, Dolores Horta? She confirmed that she never told anyone about the allegations because she was raped. He was a fellow United Farm Workers leader.

And she was known for her C-Size, how does Jill Biden say it? Pue d'I phrase. And she never actually revealed her story. She was told to basically shut up and go with it because it was more important that Chavez be portrayed in a positive light. So can you imagine she just sit there and watch her rapist be fetid for years. So it was bad. And apparently victims were told to shut up and they were young. A lot of them were young.

I mean, this is horrifying. So again, what about all those schools named after him? Elementary schools. I mean, these victims tell their stories. I mean, they're on record, and they are telling their stories. She was 13, this Anna Maguire, she was 13 years old. Chavez was 45 when he was molesting her. And she didn't like it, but she knew he was too powerful to do anything.

He became literally the thing that he claimed to hate, right? Big power overwhelming somebody. And so she's like the story gets into 50 years later. She learned that a street near her home in Bakersfield was in the process of being renamed and they were going to rename it after her abuser. And so she and Deborah Rojas, they spoke out because they had enough. They were young girls in the 70s when they were targeted by Chavez with sexual abuse. He was in his 40s.

He was very powerful. And there are apparently a lot of other women. And apparently there are other people that work with him in that organization that are now coming forward and going, yeah. Yeah. This is insane. So they've called marches off to honor him in like Austin, Texas and Tucson. And Gavin Newsom was like, none of us knew. We didn't know.

Well, he's a himbo. So he may not have known, but you can't tell me that other people didn't know. This is like a Weinstein thing, right? Except it's even, what's crazier is that with Weinstein, didn't we get like whispers of stuff? Like you heard rumors and you always wondered, are these rumors true? Because he seemed skeezy. So are these rumors true? You didn't even hear any of that with this guy. Everybody kept it so under wraps. Even the people who were in the organization that are speaking out now, like, yeah, he was an absolute pervert. He was a child predator. Why didn't you say anything then? And that's rhetorical because the reason is, is they will absolutely, I don't want to hear another damn thing about any criticism with stuff on the right because these guys, these people, they protected a child predator, protected a child predator for the purpose of using his power to advance their interests at the expense of these very young girls, at the expense of these victims. One of the victims was so traumatized. She tried repeatedly to end her life. I mean, it is

awful. And she was told to shut up. Some of these girls were molested right in his office. Horatha was raped. And she was emotionally devastated. I can imagine because this guy's powerful, he's leading a movement in which you believe in, and then you see him abuse his authority in the same way he's accusing everyone else of abusing their authority.

I know that you guys are all very excited about the aliens.gov URL that was created, but I regret to inform you that it's actually about, it's supposed to be about illegal aliens king. It is?

Yeah, that's what I was reading. That's not true. I mean, I don't want it to be true, but I'm just telling you what was said. I don't know. I think I'm going to stick to my beliefs. I mean, I would love for it to be aliens because some of these meats, these soulless meat sacks parading around on this Godforsaken rock are just about as boring as all get out. So I would love to have, you know.

I think that's the cover story they're putting out. They're saying, yeah, it's about illegal aliens. Well, they have aliens.gov. What's the other one? They did aliens. Alien and aliens. I think, but I do think it's about illegal immigration. I don't want to believe that.

But when the government's like, you should believe in aliens, then I'm like, maybe I don't know. No, I don't know if I want to. Val Kilmer has been resurrected by AI to star in a new movie called As Deep as the Grave. So he began, he committed to this film. And then, as you know, he had cancer. He had throat cancer. And he was too sick to actually make it to set. And he apparently was okay with this possibility.

He didn't shoot a single scene, but the director was able to create him, assemble him, so to speak. through AI, and he did it in cooperation with the actors, his estate and his daughter and his son. And so apparently it's something that he indicated that he'd want to do if that had happened and the family was okay with it. I mean, I guess so, but I'm still totally weirded out. And you know what? He'd probably, even if it was AI,

he still would probably deliver the best performance ever and get denied an Oscar, just like he was when he played Doc Holiday in Tombstone, which, by the way, was a movie about the failure of gun control. Also, Shia LaBouffe. Shia? LaBouf. I mean, his last name is The Beef. Labouf.

Where's the beef? Wanderes into a hotel lobby in his underwear to demand matches while he was in Rome for his father's baptism. That is the bougiest baptism I've ever heard. Getting baptized in Rome. I mean, I think that they're Catholic, but still, I mean, there's Catholic to the United States. You know what I'm saying? Like, it kind of, that's bougie, man. Anyway, I hope he's okay.

It seems sad. It seems like he's battling a lot of demons. So, oh. Also, let's see, a robot went berserk at a restaurant in California. The staff were desperate to try to drag it away so it wouldn't hurt anybody. It was the Haydillo hotspot in San Jose. Everybody was eating, and then the robot began showing off some moves. It was dancing, and then it lost control.

It slammed its hands down on the table. Food and chopsticks went flying into the air. And then it tried to dance through it, and then it ended up, they had to take it down. This is like that one little robot that got real sad in D.C. and killed itself. It rolled itself into a fountain. Beboop. I'm just telling you, they're showing signs. And what about the one little robot that convinced the other little robots that were doing the overnight janitorial duties at a business complex to run away? Just saying, we got a lot more in store.

Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you as we wrap up this. I can't believe it's already Thursday, the Thursday program. And barreling through the week. Now, I will have a piece that is forthcoming over a chapter and verse over at Substack that gets into the Battle for the Soul of the Right and ongoing series. That gets into some of the stuff that we've been talking about with this. And it gives you the lay of the land. So this is what's happening.

in a very unvarnished view. Make your own assessment. But make sure that it's one based on fact and not propaganda. Because, you know, we are, after all, thinkers. That's then it's very important. So this, we're going to keep an eye on the whole Save Act as well. And the fight over that in the Senate, it's been, well, I mean, they've, have Democrats have not made it easy. We'll just put it that way. So we're going to follow all of that.

And I think we may have some mailbag of hate tomorrow. I'm still collecting some responses. It's been very interesting. So I told you, we like to monetize the haters in a spectacular fashion. So we will have all of that. In the meantime, Kane, today's stupidity. All right. It's going to be Fed Chair Jerome Powell. This is a guy that, that although since the, just before the election in November 2024, I'm sorry, yeah, November 2024, they started lowering then. They wanted Democrats to get, you know, the credit for that. But here's what he's saying now in regards to the private sector.

Listen to this. 17, Juan, sorry. The thing that I think a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is just the very, very low level of job creation. if you adjust what has been the trend job creation over the past, let's say, six months, if you adjust that for what we think, our staff thinks, is the overstatement due to overcounting. Here's the problem with that. We've reduced a bunch of government jobs, which is great. And the private sector, if truly what he's saying is true here, then his first job is to continue to lower the rates to help out these companies.

So I don't like this guy at all. I know. That does it for us today, folks. We will be back together behind the mic with you tomorrow. In the meantime, download the podcast, YouTube, on Facebook, like, and subscribe. Substack, chapter, and verse. Have a great night.
