So this is what we're looking at with Iran and a couple of myths that we're going to bust today, including the thing. We mentioned it yesterday where the sub was sunk and that is something that we're, because now they're trying to make it like, it was an international incident. And it's, now it's a world war. And I think there are so many people that are so desperate to categorize it as that. But in reality, it's actually not. And we're going to go through some of that. But you heard POTUS, You heard sec, I almost said sec-deaf, Sec war say all of this. And this, you know, going into what day is this now?

Oh, wow. Of the conflict, six days. So, yeah, we're looking at, I mean, it's like roughly two weeks. So where this goes next, I think it was very telling that we sent B-52s over. And I'm going to talk about that because those are like barns in the air, essentially. And that really means, you know, if you're sending something that big, and the reason I think that so many people as of late got to know those planes really well, have you seen Masters Air? That was great. That was World War II about the aerial combat for World War II.

And they focused heavily a lot on these bombers. And it's very interesting. I mean, they're just, they're literally just, every radar on God's Green Earth will see them. There's no getting away. But doesn't it suggest that you have like, serious dominance in the area when you feel comfortable enough to send that out? Because I feel like that's what that suggests, right? That's what it seems to suggest. So we're going to dive in to some of what the positioning is. And then also later on in the program, and yeah, and it also

proves, as Kane said, Trump is not like past presidents. This is different. And I think it feels weird to conservatives because we're not used to this. Right. So I want to give us all some credit or give us, you know, give us all a little bit of credit here. It really feels like, you know, it's, we're not used to Republicans doing this. And it's weird. It's weird for us. So, you know, we're going to give ourselves, we're all going to give ourselves some credit. So this, all of this, we're going to break it down. And like I said, uh, later on in the program, too, We have a very interesting guess because do you remember the Iranian women that were celebrating not living under insane tyranny and how the left was trying to handmaids tail them? So that's what that's exactly.

That's we're going to talk to one of those very women who's had to live under that and is so excited that she doesn't have to live under that anymore. So we're going to get into that with her. as well coming up. She's the famous dancing Persian, which is a very big difference. I hope everybody knows. So a lot to jump into. And then later on in the program, we're kicking off a series that's going to go until I'm tired of, until we've exhausted everything. And we're looking at some of the biggest myths regarding the Israeli stuff. And just so you guys know, we do all of our own research here. We don't farm it out. We don't have a research team that does any of it. And it's, You know, this is something that I think is incredibly important.

I want to make sure that people, when they are making their decisions, they do so based on fact. And that's what's incredibly important. All right. So the Sank sub that was outside of Sri Lanka, it's actually not that far. I mean, I feel like some people don't, especially some of these journalists, don't understand geography. Guys, it's not that far away from Strait of Hormuz. Why are we acting like it's on the other side of the world? I mean, why is that?

If you look at a map, you see, like, when you go through the Strait of Ormoos, you're really not that far away from Sri Lanka. It's just right around the bend. But, you know, if you listen to the way that the media is reporting on this, oh my gosh, you guys, it's all the way on the other side of the world. It's all the way on the other side of the world. And it's not. It really isn't. it's in the Arabian Sea it's actually you know you go through

you go through the straight and you're out in the Arabian Sea I mean it's that's where all the Somali pirates are anyway they're all in that area so it's not you know crazy that there's an Iranian sub there and that we have vessels there and we sink it and everyone's like oh my gosh can you believe that we

did this it's so insane I mean we sank this sub in international waters as opposed to what on land I'm so tired of of the international waters nonsense as well. There are people who are not fit to analyze this stuff, if I'm being honest. There are people who they, this is my thoughts on it. When you, especially seen everything that's happened, if their rules of war are Islamists can do whatever they want, Islamist terrorists can do whatever they want, and the supporters of Islamist terrorists can do anyone,

can do what they want. And any response from the West is illegitimate. And again, the international law, then I'm going to say that we, the West, can do whatever the hell we want to Islamic terrorists, and we can do whatever the hell we want to the backers of Islamic terrorism and any response from them is illegitimate and against international law. That's what it feels like, Kane.

I mean, seriously, this is war. I mean, what are you supposed to do? I mean, this is naval warfare, 101. What are we, is there like some unwritten commandment? Thou shalt not sink thy vessel in thy ocean. Where are they else?

that world? This is, you know, they shouldn't have declared war in 1979. That's all I'm saying. Maybe they shouldn't have done that. So the media is trying to freak you out and make you think, oh my gosh, look at this. The United States is in a war. Don't even look at them. Don't even look. Don't even look at the headlines on it. It's all, I was looking at that this morning and oh my gosh, it's like we're right back to hate America. If you look at the media. That's exactly it. I mean, this is this is kind of a consequence of picking a fight with the United States. Now, the other thing, a couple of other things that we're going to get into, who's, you know, the power vacuum in Iran? And also, the Kurds are going toe to toe.

Do you know how controversial it is to say they need to have their own entity, their own country? And how everybody freaks out over that. And in the Middle East, everybody freaks out. But, I mean, they've been pretty reliable, right? They've been super reliable, just saying. And POTUS is called on Kurds to aid the U.S. effort in Iran also. They've already done it. They got boots on the ground. I mean, the Kurds are on their way. And they have just reason as well. The Washington Post said that he had a call to Kurdish minority leaders in Iran and neighboring Iraq and multiple calls and that he offered extensive U.S. air cover while they have boots on the ground. The request to the Iraqi Kurds was to open the way and to not obstruct. Iranian Kurdish groups, mobilizing in Iraq and also provide logistical support. So you know all the calls for, you know, people need to rise up and finish the job and take care of Iran themselves. This is what's happening.

This is exactly what's happening. They've been part, by the way, of the strategy for offense and defense for the U.S. in that area for, gosh, since the 90s, I think. I remember when I was in seventh the grade. I had current events, a current events class, seventh or eighth grade, I think it was seventh grade. And my first introduction to the Kurds

was I had to write a paper on everything that was on the evening news. It was actually an assignment given to us at the time, current events. We had to write a paper on stuff that was happening in the evening news. And I picked the Iraq war. And I also wrote

about the Kurds. I had to go to library and do old school research. Oh my gosh, I feel so sorry for myself. You know how hard they get to go to the library. You couldn't just like Google something. Gosh, now we sound like we live in the 1800s, but it was in the 90s, right? Good night. And so, I mean, they've always, I really, you know, yes, I know that they've helped us because they want us to back them in their bid for independence. And it seems like that's never followed all the way through, has it? I mean, they were helped in Syria because we worked with them. Our four, our, our, our, our, U.S. we had, we used them as allies to fight ISIS. They went after Bashir al-Assad.

You know, Turkey doesn't like them. They freak out. They're the ones who, they consider them to be terrorists. Turkey considers the courage to be terrorists. I mean, some people might say that Turkish leadership is just saying. But they really were instrumental in helping to topple Assad. Now, remember how I told you, that was really kind of one of the first dominoes in some of this kinetic action, because once Assad, was out of the way Syria stopped being a protector of Iran. You had no more transit, safe transit. They wouldn't even allow them to use their airspace. So it was incredibly important that Bashir al-Assad, who was aligned with Russia, very much aligned with Iran's interests as well. When he was out, that was a huge deal. And so they were very instrumental in all of that. So, and this is something apparently, you know, if you have the Kurds come to the rescue and join with the Persians in Iran, because that's like what it

looks like they're building to do. That would actually, I mean, that would be, that's the objective that you would want to happen. And, but it's something to watch though still, because people get nervous, you know, and they're like, oh, is this them trying to assume control, et cetera, which I don't think it is, but don't, don't underestimate the power of the media to float narratives like that and plant those seeds and try to divide even that alliance. So there's a lot of stuff that is, that is, that's happening. And there are a lot of, and by the way, the Kurds are not, this is not something that they're being told to do.

They hate Islamism and they've been fighting this. They've been fighting this. They had, Kane put this in here. I saw this this morning. Office of the First Lady of the Republic of Iraq saying, leave the Kurds alone. We're not guns for hire. No one's saying that they are. But they are supporting America.

and they're supporting the Persians in this. I mean, especially after 1991, when we were involved in the Iraq War. And remember, one of the first uses, we were having faulty information about Saddam Hussein that had additional weapons of mass destruction, but he had mass weapons of destruction when he was gassing the Kurds

and killing them by the thousands. That is a fact. So, which is separate from the justification for the war because that was a different type of WMD that they were talking about. We're going to get into that. The Paxton-Cornan dilemma, Trump is under an insane amount of pressure right now to get involved in the Senate race. I'm going to explain what that means. The remaining Texas fallout, Dan Crenshaw's out. It's of his own making. We're going to get into that. We're going to get into a whole bunch of stuff. We have a lot to hit today and get you set up because there's a lot of moving pieces. And I would also direct you to my sub-stack. There's some new stuff up there as well. Chapter is a really, really good organization that's been helping people with Medicare, because, as you know, Medicare, it's really confusing on purpose.

I mean, you're supposed to trust the system when it comes to Medicare, whether it's, you know, the government website or some like Randow insurance agent. And then, you know, you're surprised when your plan doesn't actually cover what you need. Medicare is confusing on purpose. And the confusion is exactly how people end up in the wrong plan over paying. undercovered. So this is why you need to find somebody on your side. That matters. Chapter exists to cut through that confusion. So instead of telling you one or two companies, they're, you know, and selling you on one or two companies, they're the only advisor that actually compares every Medicare plan nationwide to find out what actually fits your doctors, your prescriptions,

and your budget. So it's an honest translator for Medicare. It explains your options in plain English, helps you avoid plans that are great for insurance company profits, but terrible for actual real people. So on average, the people who work with Chapter save about $1,000 a year on health care costs, just by getting into the right plan instead of whatever was pushed at them. It's free and fast to talk to Chapter. They'll get you set up in under 20 minutes. They'll review your current coverage, walk you through choices if you're about to enroll, so you know exactly what you're picking and why.

And if you're already on Medicare or you're close, they'll answer your questions, explain enrollment, and help you feel confident instead of overwhelmed. To take control of your Medicare, dial pound 250 on your phone and say Medicare plan. That's pound 250 and say Medicare plan to get your options reviewed with chapter. Pound 250, Medicare plan. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. This makes me sad.

Britney Spears was arrested for driving under the influence yet again. New York Post. She was handcuffed by California Highway Patrol in Ventura County, California, at about 928. p.m. local time. And she was booked then at 3 a.m., released at 6 a.m. and she goes to court on May 4th. I really want her to get healthy. It is really sad to watch this. I mean, clearly, you know, she's struggling with something. If you've seen the dance videos, just saying, I think maybe there was a reason why she was under a conservatorship, just saying, not trying to be mean, but goodness. This is sad. Legendary College football coach Lou Holtz passed away, age 89. He led Notre

Dame's fighting Irish to their last national championship in 1988. The school announced this yesterday. He'd been having some health issues in recent months. He had moved to hospice care in Orlando, 33 seasons on the college sidelines. He went to, I mean, he had a great record. A lot of it was in Indiana, but pressure with his family. But that's a long full life. That's a good life lived.

United Airlines is introducing something new to try to deal with passenger, annoyances, but I don't know if that's going to help a lot. The new rule that was added to their contract of carriage terms under the refusal to transport. And so they're saying that people who fail to use their, people who are using, who don't use headphones to listen to audio or video can get thrown off a flight now. Also, like if you're barefoot and putting your nasty, gross feet everywhere, that can get you thrown off a flight. I will rip you, rip your toes off and throw them out of the plane mid-air if I see that happen. So I'm actually, people do that.

I have a story. I think I may share it with you before. But also, the nation's top problem, government, according to a new survey. I agree with this. Kane, this is scientific and absolutely accurate. And still true. Yes, they, the majority of people say, yeah, the biggest problem, government. Absolutely true.

Gen Z is flocking to Chinese medicine, which is great. So just don't go to wet markets and get bat flu, right? Because they're trust in the U.S. health system plummet. Xi Jinping's plans are coming together splendidly. Stay with us. 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.

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.

Actually, it's not better today. Welcome back to the program. I know it's radio, but it's also a podcast kind of environment, so we're a little casual. Welcome back. Dana Lange with you, bottom of this first hour. So that was Tony Gonzalez. My friend Joe Pags did an interview with him. And I know they get along.

I would have been, well, he just put it this way. I think they have a relationship where they're friendly and they know each other. I think my first, you want to know what my first question is. question would have been because I'm pretty sure that he's never going to come on the show, is he? Well, I reached out. I did reach out. If people come on the show, I am, and one of the reasons why we struggle to get some guests

is because people think I'm going to be an absolute jack wagon to them. And I'm not. Cain, I mean, I'm really a good hostess. It's like I'm not going to be mean to someone who comes into my house. I'm not going to be mean to somebody who comes onto my program. Yep. You don't have to sell me on that. But I know that there's a lot of people that have these preconceived notions and they don't

even reply sometime. Well, it's mean. How unfair is that? I mean, I'm nice. I'm a nice person. That's prejudicial, isn't it? It is, you know, and I don't really appreciate that. So my, I would have probably had a different line of questioning is what I'm saying. I think I would have probably asked a few different things. But this was the first time that he actually mentioned it, that he actually admitted it. Now, here's the thing. There's a dead woman in the middle of this. She's self-immolated, guys.

That's a really big deal. There was the lying about it, the lying. And it was also, you know, she was with him on a number of these codels. Like she was down with him as a member of his staff while also functioning as a mistress. There when he was at the border and he was doing. some of these other congressional visits in his capacity as a congressman. Now, I think on top of all of this, it's, I mean, what makes it even worse is that his record is abysmal. And I wrote about this, I'm pulling this up right now because I didn't have it up. I wrote about this, by the way,

if you get this, the newsletter over at Substack, chapter and verse, which by the way, you really do need to subscribe if you haven't because there's all kinds of stuff up there that I put up. But I got into it with the Corny and Paxton dilemma. I touched on a little bit of it. You know, because Tony Gonzalez, he's got a horrible record, a gun control record. I mean, this was the guy who was instrumental in helping to pass in the House Joe Biden's gun control bill. Remember, it was the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, but it was neither bipartisan really, nor did it make communities safer. and he was one of the instrumental, not just votes, but he was helping to like whip support for this. He has been really sketchy on H-1Bs and certain immigration issues.

And there's a couple, I mean, he's very much a moderate Republican. Tony Gonzalez is not a hardline constitutional conservative. He is a, at best, moderate Republican. And, you know, I would say maybe 15 years ago, he would damn near be considered Democrat, if not all the way. So his record is bad, but also the way he handled this is bad. And, you know, it's not like in this race, you're looking at a choice between two compromised candidates. You're not. You're looking at one candidate who is a business owner and is one of the most solid candidates on God's Green Earth about gun rights, if not the most.

And is exactly where we're – and I know Brandon Herrera, because I've spent time with him before. I've seen him at different events. You know, he and my husband talk all the time. And I know where he is on issues. because I've had the benefit of actually, you know, talking to him about these issues. So I know exactly where he stands. It's like, you know, in some instances, it's like talking to myself. So whereas, you know, with Gonzalez, he can be further from me on gun rights.

He's a Democrat on the Second Amendment. That's not an exaggeration. When you vote like Democrats do on literally every single firearm issue, you're a Democrat. at. And I mean, without exception. So that's complicating. But this woman killed herself. And then this is what really tick me off. And we don't have to play this from the interview. You, you know, if you want to, it's on YouTube, you can, you know, listen to it. But he then said, well, you know, we should be focusing on things like screw worms, et cetera. Okay, I get it, but that was very awkward to say in the interview. I don't know who media trained him, but they need to be dressed.

behind a truck. That was the first thing. And then, guys, I kid you not. I stopped this video. This was last night at like 8 o'clock. I worked until like 11.30 last night. Actually, it was later than that because I think I was sending you guys stuff on Slack at like midnight. I don't remember. And I was doing something and I, I wasn't exactly passive listening, but it was on in the background. And I was listening to it. And I was waiting, you know, for certain things to pop up. And then I literally had to stop it at one point. and drag it back because he went on to blame the husband. He blamed the widower for his electoral problems. I am not exaggerating.

I really wish that I was because I feel like Gonzalez has already made it bad enough for himself. When you start dragging the widower, holy cow. And then he like went into Candace Owen's territory. Like, well, you know, he contacted me immediately and was asking about like pay and stuff. like that. And that's super sketchy. You know what's sketchy? Leaving a woman despondent to where she sets herself on fire in her backyard. If you want to have a discussion as to whether or not that sketchy, not a widower trying to figure out whiskey tango fox trot is going on. Holy cow. That told me without even having to go any further that this guy didn't get it. He doesn't get it.

Why in God's green earth? Number one, even if you were fine with all of his behavior. Why would you want someone who is such a giant walking unforced error, repreys, like working with you? Because he's messed up a million times. Good night. It's going to be more. That was just unbelievable. Now, a couple of other things. Dan Crenshaw, he's out. You know, I've talked to him before. He and I've actually argued on a couple of things. And I've even told him privately, you know, you're not helping anybody with your toad. He's another guy who doesn't get it. He's very dramatic. and I don't want to dislike him.

I've had him on and we've, I grilled him on two-way stuff because we don't exactly see eye to eye on that issue. And we've had it out on this program. And he showed up. I can't say that for everybody, but he showed up. I give him credit for that. And he would show up every time. If I said, hey, come argue with me. I think you're wrong here.

He would show up. Of course, that might be because he likes to argue the same as I do. But he doesn't make it easy on himself. by being constantly confrontational. That is a tactic. It's not a universal rule that you should be like that all the time. And he's really hurt himself. And he's burned a lot of bridges with his attitude.

And not just with other people in the industry or people from whom he could garner support, but other voters. This is what I tell candidates, you know, you've got to really be careful when you exercise that fighting spirit. Because if you do it too much, the voters look at you as being antagonistic. and there's nothing to empathize with there. You have to have it in measured amounts.

That's why Trump is able to be fighting sometimes, and then he's sympathetic other times, and then he's joky other times. He's not always fight, fight, fight. When you are always in that mode, especially as a politician, you start getting a rep. You start getting a reputation.

And voters start thinking, maybe he's not as amiable as we thought he was. So all of that psychologically cedes the minds of voters, and it works against you. And that's what happened here. He did this to himself, right? Chip Roy, I know he said he's going to be retiring after this if he didn't win. I think he goes to a runoff, but I don't see him winning that. I don't see him winning the AG race. I mean, he's, you know, he's a nice guy. I like him. But I think that a lot of this is strategy and, you know, that's the way it is. It's unfortunate. But this is where politics are. I said this in my piece

on substack because they're really trying to get Trump to weigh in on this and I know this for a fact I have heard from a lot of people in D.C. I have some friends who are in his orbit and he is getting hammered on all sides by this

and to the point where it's actually like pissing him off. He's tired of people coming into his office and like oh you need a they're really, if anything he needs to unendorse Gonzalez

and back Herrera that be but I don't think he needs to get involved in the Paxton Cornyn fight because there's no there's no upside for him here. This is what I mean. I have a big piece about this where I dive into the polling. So, Cornyn competed better than people thought with Paxton. That's a clear takeaway. And that's so

incredibly important, it actually factored into, what is it, Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball. It actually factored into that. They were going to recategorize the Texas Senate race as Leans Republican instead of being likely Republican had two conditions been met. Number one, Tala Rico had to be had to win his primary and he did. But then they they needed to have Paxton outperform Corman, which he didn't. Paxton trailed Cornyn. And they both are within the margin of error right now in polling with Tala Rico. And that's why I'm saying I don't consider right now any survey that has any of them, Democrat or Republican beyond margin of error ahead of the other other ones. I don't consider any survey like that to be reliable because everything that I've seen and from what I've been

told by internals, it is incredibly close. That is shocking to a lot of us, but that's because there are a lot of people who are dissatisfied with the news. They've heard about Paxton. A lot of people are dissatisfied with Cornyn. And then some people have question marks about Tala Rico. Here's something else you need to be aware of. In 2020, the last time, because Senators stagger every six years, the last time Cornyn ran in 2020, he got more votes in the state of Texas than Donald Trump. That's a fact. The thing that makes me angry is that neither the RNC nor the Texas GOP ever did a postmortem as to why. I think it was split-ticket voting because there were people who were dissatisfied on either immigration, and this is before the

border was closed, or there were people who were hearing fraud, fraud, fraud, and they didn't vote. We had one of the lowest turnouts in Texas in 2020, and it mirrored what I saw in Georgia during their special election when I went down there to help get out the vote. And people were telling me that they, you know, they supported, what was it, Kelly Leffler, but they weren't going to go vote because fraud. And I'm freaking out like, you can't do that. Victoria Sparks, like, lost her mind when she somebody told her that. And she, like, dropped her, in the middle of her remarks and started, like, lecture, which she was right. So that is a caveat here. So here's the thing. Paxton's baggage is,

personal. We talked about that. I'm not going to get into that. Cornins is record, legislative. One broke fidelity with voters. The other broke fidelity in his personal life. I get very Machiavellian about this, right? But here's the thing. It gets tricky because Trump doesn't need a way in on this.

Cornyn is viewed currently right now as being more reliable in a win in a general election. That's already going to be close. All the polling has Tala Rica within striking distance of both. And like I said, I question any survey that shows a lead beyond margin of error. Now, the DC, from what I'm hearing, the prevailing thought in Austin and DC consultants

is that Cornyn is the safer bet. Obviously, grassroots doesn't agree. But Cornyn was able to match Paxton's momentum, even in the DFW Metroplex, which he wasn't expected to. He also led him by enough to convince a lot of these pollsters that he would be the likely primary winner. So that's why the race is still considered likely rather than Leans Republican. Paxton draws stronger support from 24, voters. So he leads Cornyn with Trump voters, but Cornyn is leading Paxton with independence and moderates. And remember how I tell you about elections being determined on the margins. So this is very tricky. And here's the thing. If Trump backs Cornyn, they're going to be down ballot implications. If he backs Paxton, there's going to be down ballot implications because each candidate hits

voters in different ways. So I personally think that Trump needs to keep his powder dry in the Senate race because Texas voters are going to battle it out. And I don't think that Trump needs to sully any political capital or expend any political capital on it. Because the other thing is, you don't want to afford to spend an inordinate amount of money salvaging a race that could be winnable if it's played right, especially at the expense of some of these Senate battleground races that we're going to have coming up. And they're going to need every dime for the fight. So nothing about this is fair to voters. Hard decisions have to be made. And when people make their choice, they need to be all in. We got a lot more on the way. If you want to hear what I said about it

yesterday, you can go to the podcast and download that because I got into their virtue and their baggage if you want to do that.

Is there a reason you chose this location to do this announcement? I feel the city of Fresno. There are certain areas that represent rehabilitation people. This church has been here for hundreds of years. Forgiveness isn't something that is just given to you. It is not handed. You earn it. Day by day, minute by minute. That's what I'm doing. I'm not asking. I'm not demanding. I'm saying grow with me. Trust me. First off, what in the Vincent, Christ, hell, am I looking at?

That's number one. That's a woman. A woman pretending to be a man who's also apparently a registered sex offender. My first thought was, why are you alive? Renee Campos. Actually, now a California elementary school had to file a police report against her because she's a registered sex offender and she decided to, she's going after a city council seat, held the news conference right in front of the dang school while kids were on the property. You know you can't do that, right?

Good night. Campus got charged with, in 2018, the possession of child sex abuse material. Okay, only in California, can you be a legit child predator and run for city council? Are you kidding me? And she's running against an incumbent. She's like, I've satisfied every legal obligate. agent. Yeah, I don't think you have. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, how was, and that's, oh, man, that's just, and the crime was bad. I'm not going to get into some of the details of it. But so the school filed a police report,

because she's not supposed to be in your schools. Not supposed to be in your schools at all. Democrats for you. Yeah. We've got second hour on the way. You don't want to miss. A lot of stuff. You guys know the Super Beats Heart Chews for All Day Energy and Stamina. It's a great product from a great Texas-based company. But they also have their turmeric chews, which I take every day and I cannot recommend them enough. They taste great. There's no additives. So there's no added sugar.

There's no artificial anything. It's just literally, you know, they have an orange citrus flavor. Everything is like from what it comes from, to put it in layman's terms. But here's the big thing. A lot of turmeric, I mean, really not a lot. But turmeric is difficult for the body to absorb. and you have to take a ton of it to get, you know, the serving that you would need to have that, to have an effect on your inflammatory response. So what they did is they developed this turmeric

curcumin complex. It's clinically studied. And their particular complex helps to solve the issue of having the body, the body's difficulty in utilizing it effectively because they made a more highly absorbable form. And that's important, very important. So one of their turmeric chews, you're going to get, it's the equivalent antioxidant support of what you would find in large amounts of standard turmeric extract. So this is not just any turmeric and it's not just any kind of turmeric complex. It's a clinically studied turmeric hercumin complex. And so you're getting significantly higher absorption. You know the benefits that turmeric has on your body's inflammatory response, supporting a healthy response, you know, reducing those markers.

It's great tasting, easy to take. Like I said, I take it. My doctor loves that I take it. And you can try it for yourself at Sam's Club. You can get the turmeric chews. Clinically studied high absorption formula at Sam's Club. Today, grab your bag of humans' turmeric chews. Welcome to the program, Dana Lash.

With you, we're at the top of the second hour. I'm sure everybody has seen the story at this point of the hubbub that took place in the capital with this marine yesterday. And he got us, ended up getting his arm broken on. top of it. This was a crazy story and I'm looking at some other new video of this because it's the guy's name is Brian McGinnis. He is a Marine and he was there while they were having their hearing and he walked in and he was wearing his uniform and he started screaming, I'm not dying for Israel. And he ended up getting dragged out of the Senate office building by Capitol Police

and then Senator Tim Shee as a result because he was disrupting this hearing. He's from North Carolina. This is the video of the initial dust up. Look. Out. No one wants to fight

for Israel. His hand, his hand. Hand. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. He's hanging on to the door and he's got his his hand in the door frame where the door

folds back and he wouldn't let go. And Tim She was grabbing his arm, trying to dislodge his arm and apparently it broke his arm while he was doing it. And then everyone started screaming, oh my gosh, the senator just broke this veteran's arm, etc. Can I just say something really quickly? I think it's silly to, I'm going to put it like this. The founding of this country meant that we had

people like Sam Adams and Paul Revere that stood up to British military. They questioned, they stood up, and they weren't going to be run by a military junta, so to speak, right? I don't believe that because you wear the uniform, that that means you are unquestionable. That means anything that you do is unquestionable, because I've seen people wear the uniform and do very bad things, General Millie. I've seen people wear the uniform and do very bad things, Alexander Vindman. We've seen it a lot before. I can give you a list of people. It's like the same thing with police.

Back the blue is not a universal statement. That is a case-by-case basis. I appreciate what law enforcement does. But I've sat on the stage with a bad cop who tried to blame me for his incompetence. I had another cop who was a big-time Democrat down in Austin threatened to follow me and docks me because I questioned his commitment to the Second Amendment because he was a big gun control chief. So, yeah, there are bad cops. There are bad cops out there, just like there are people who serve in the military who are

questionably characterized. And it's okay to say that because I'll be damned. This is the Blankin USA. I can say whatever the hell I want. And if people don't like it, they can choke on it. And the same thing for you. you don't get a pass because of XYZ. Your argument gets measured on its merit, on fact, on logic,

and your motivation gets measured on your character and your previous statements and your previous activism, just like this guy's does. This guy is basically, he's not basically, he's a leftist communist who believes in open borders. So stop right there before everybody dives onto the ground to defend this guy. I know who you're defending, first of all. That's a big point. There's video of him out there in his Marine dress blues, waving the Gosen Hamas flag. He repeats Hamas propaganda on social media.

I went and looked. He's a giant lefty. And don't say, well, I'm a libertarian. I think some people who don't know what words mean will say that they're capital L libertarians when really their commies. what a lack of consistency will do. By the way, as far as what happened, it's a bummer that he chose to do this. I think his wife is Muslim.

And it seems like she made an Islamist out of him if he wasn't already. But I would say he absolutely is an Islamist. When you're out there waving the Hamas flag and you're repeating verbatim Hamas propaganda, I'm absolutely going to call you an Islamist. So he's screaming this. He gets removed and they're all like, oh, well, you broke his arm, et cetera. He shouldn't have been there in his uniform disrupting a meeting, a hearing in the first place. You're not supposed to do that while you're wearing your uniform.

And you're not supposed to wave, you're not supposed to hold up the flag of other nations, especially when those nations are run by designated terror groups, designated by the United States, your boss. This guy, and here's more, this is cut nine. He's a very big pro-Hamas, pro-illegal alien, Islamist mouthpiece. Watch. Congratulations to Hamas and the Gazans for repelling their oppressor, the Israelis, and causing the ceasefire.

We must as Palestinian supporters watch this deal unroll. roll out and make sure it's legitimate and fair and also continue to support Palestine with wearing kaffia's or any type of apparel to show we are a strong front we must continue to band together with other minorities the elite the immigrants the people that are getting taken out by ICE African Americans who have been subjugated for the longest time and who I believe are the grounds for resistance in America They had the most experience, the most strength, and the most experience. So his wife is an Islamist.

He is an Islamist too, clearly. And there's some question. And Lorraine's going to have a piece on this later as to whether or not his arm actually was broken before she even got there because he had it in the door before she even got there. And, I mean, it's interesting because all the people that are really upset over Brian McGinnis had no problem with Capitol Police shooting unarmed Ashley Babbitt. notice the difference the same people exact same people who are out there defending brian mcginnis had no problems with an unarmed ashley babbett getting shot and killed just FYI the wife big time islamist so it seems like she converted him unless he was converted already But no, you can't show up in your uniform and start shouting Hamas propaganda and disrupt a Senate hearing.

You can't do that. No. If you want to go and act like an ass on your own time, out of uniform, out of service, you go do that. But when you sign up for the military, I don't have to tell people this. We're all big kids. There's an expectation and a requirement for your behavior, particularly when you're in uniform. So this is a problem that this guy made for himself. It's unfortunate that he chose to do that, but alas, here we are.

And the left, you have Code Pink out there. Let me tell you about Code Pink. They're probably about 10 years ago. I met her at a number of events. She's a Gold Star Mom. And she was with a bunch of other Gold Star moms. Did a lot of work with them. They were in D.C.

And that was when, I think this was towards the, actually it was more than 10 years ago because I was still, I think it was still in my 20s. They had a thing with Rumsfeld. This was at the, towards the end of Bush. term. And Donald Rumsfeld was in D.C. and they were having some kind of thing for, I just remember, thing for veterans and Gold Star families. And Code Pink, led by Medea Benjamin, was across the street with coffins. And they were harassing veterans, veteran families, and it was all on video

because I remember, it was, I think I was still, I think I had just been moved to evenings through the week. So it was at the start of my radio career. And I played the audio of this because they were harassing. Code Pink was harassing these veterans families, these Gold Star families. Imagine being a Gold Star family and looking across the street to see commies, Islamist commies, and that's what Code Pink is, because they're very tight with Hamas, they support Hamas, they have defended Hamas, they have defended Hezbollah, they have defended Iran, they defend all the things that make veterans or make Gold Star families. They're big supporters of the things that create Gold Star families and their fake posturing to care for vets.

And I played the audio and they got into it. And my friend, who isn't a very well-known Gold Star Mom, had to get pulled away before she got an assault charge. So I don't have a lot of respect for Code Pink. Actually, I don't have any. And Code Pink is out there on this guy. They're like, yes, this guy is Yeah. And remember, they also are really good friends with Marjorie Taylor Green, who's an absolute fraud. But that is who these people are. This guy is a far left Islamist Kami who believes in open borders. He doesn't believe anything that you do. And he does, I just don't know how you're a veteran and you're out there repeating the propaganda of the entities that make Gold Star families. And you don't have to.

have to be in the military to ask these questions. That's what the revolution was about. Every citizen can ask these questions. It's not a right just afforded to people in service. And I say this is coming from a military family. It's your right, your God-given right, protected by blood of all of our relations, all of our relations. I don't know anybody untouched. So don't listen to the media nonsense on this. But the same people who are upset over this veteran had no problem with the shooting of the other veteran. Ashley Babbitt had no problem with that. Now here's something interesting that just popped off.

I want to bring this up. We were just talking about the Senate race last hour. This is new. I want you to listen to this. Attorney General Ken Paxson had just within the hour tweeted, quote, The Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass,

and I'm committed to helping President Trump get it done. He writes, I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the Save America Act. He says, John Cornyn is a coward who has refused to support abolishing the filibuster to pass this bill. Now fake news reporters and the establishment are trying to destroy me with misinformation. Paxton adds, the truth is clear. No one has been more loyal to Donald Trump than me fighting the stolen 2020 election, being a Mar-a-Lago when he announced his 24 campaigns, standing with him in New York, face the lawfare. He goes, for the good of our country and for the good of passing Trump's agenda, I'm determined to help him get this done. Now, what this tells me is that Trump weighed in on

behalf of Cornyn privately, which is what I was kind of anticipating him doing. And it looks like he's giving Paxton, he's doing several things here. He's giving Paxton an off-ramp, get out with your integrity intact. And also, he's using this to force Cornyn to bend the knee. Pretty smart move. If he can get Cornyn and Thune to do that, that might be a decent trade-off. And I say this, and you can feel free to go to Substat because I have it all up there with the polling. There's some people are believing that Cornyn is a safer bet.

Obviously, I like Paxton. I'm also being very Machiavelliant about this stuff. If people wanted different candidates, everybody, the people, I know a lot of of people complaining about this that I personally called to when there were need they when our area needed volunteers for canvassing and they said no not joking there's a lot of them I feel like those people kind of forfeit bitching and moaning about the candidates that we ended up with if they did nothing to recruit or do anything and I don't believe that nobody has time as as as Thomas Jefferson said you would rather have you would rather have the inconvenience

of having too much liberty than not and I don't think it's a I don't think it's an inconvenience and if there's any inconvenience worth suffering, it's that in service of liberty. Very interesting. We're going to watch this. We've got a lot more on the way, including coming up, some of the myths in this debate with Woke Reich on Israel. We're going to talk about some of those. As we move, our partners that help bring you the program, it's our friends over at American

financing. If you looked at your credit card statement lately, because I know you're working a lot of hours, but then, you know, you're also having to pay like 20% interest. when you put stuff on your credit card. A lot of people are putting a lot of stuff on their credit cards. And the way that it's handled is designed to keep you underwater. It's designed to keep you stuck in a cycle of debt. American financing is doing what big banks hate. They're actually helping people get out of that, helping people get out from under high interest debt. They have mortgage rates in the fives. They're helping homeowners use their hard-earned equity to pay off punishing credit

cards. It takes like 10 minutes to talk to a salary-based mortgage consultant, no upfront fees, no obligations, just a simple conversation to see how much you could save. If you start today, you could delay two mortgage payments. So that means a lot of cash in your pocket immediately when you need it most. American financing is America's Home for Home Loans. So give them a call today. These people are salary-based. They're not commission-related, and they just want to help you figure out how much of your own money you can save.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Okay, so the Vatican is warning against cosmetic surgery's cult of the body.

This is very interesting. It's a new text approved by Pope Leo, top Vatican commission, warned Catholics against using cosmetic surgery, saying it's an unrealistic search for a perfect figure. Interesting. I feel like if you're going to come out against trans, just say trans. Don't just lump it into on cosmetic surgery. Because I think that with, I mean, I think that's all a stage of body dysmorphia, but I think some is like super severe. And I think some maybe isn't. not to train stuff, obviously.

But I just feel like they're like, just come out and say trans. Would you live in a 3D printed house? I wouldn't. No, hell no. Now they're apparently making futuristic 3D printed homes. They're hitting the market in California. The first was built in 24 days. It sells for $280,000 and it just was a white box.

It's a bland white box. That's it. San Francisco School District is investigating a math teacher's question. How much money to spend on a date with a girl? based on her weight. I think it's actually hysterical, but they're like, thank to them. They said it's inappropriate, and I think they just need to calm down. Stop neutering your children and making it to where they can't exist in society. 74% admit to having some nerves about flying in a new polling, a new poll about fear of flying.

Coming up, the infamous Iranian woman who was dancing in celebration of the hominy being killed and attacked by Fourth Way feminist. She joins us next. I've told you before I have no problem using lethal force to defend myself or defend any of my loved ones, etc. But I also realize, too, that sometimes we find ourselves in situations where our rights are abridged, whether it's by municipal restrictions, local restrictions, private property restrictions. So you still want to be able to have the opportunity to defend yourself. And you can do that by having a burn a gun. Now, if you compare this to a stun gun, stun guns have what, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, you know, maybe one or two rounds, the burn a gun, the CL particularly, the compact launcher. This is the one

you need to look at. It has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. And like I said, it shoots chemical errant projectiles. It can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. You have different accessories for it made right here in the US of A, but here's the big thing. It's not a gun. So it doesn't care about gun-free zones. There's no background check. There's no permits. There's no fees. You buy it online and it ships right to your door. It is great from when your rights are a bridge to protect yourself elsewhere. This is also a good option for college kids who are living in a different city and they are maybe they're walking to class at night or walk into their parking lot, whatever it is. They're old enough to go carry full auto overseas, but not old enough to

carry to protect their own lives here domestically. This is a great practical option for them. You can check it out. It's the C-L compact launcher. It's about the size of an iPhone.

Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of Not So Serious on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you, a little for those listening terrestrially, a little George Michael Freedom, because it seems apropos for this.

We've been watching everything that has been happening with Iran. And what I feel like is not getting enough attention is what the people, what actual Iranians, what they feel about when they see this. And I have a number of friends who have left Iran. I have a friend who's a business owner here where I live who was crying over this. Like he has a lot of family that is still there and was absolutely crying over this. And one of the things that he had said in a text was that, you know, my sisters don't have to worry. That was really powerful because I think a lot of. lot of people in the United States and elsewhere really take that for granted, especially a lot of

these like third and fourth way feminists out there. They really take it for granted. They did not know what women in Iran have had to deal with. And we only get a little bit of it, like little headlines here and there and we think, oh my gosh, that's so bad. And then everybody goes back to their lives. Well, now there's a regime change. And Iranians are jubilant over this. And it's, it seems insane that some people here in the United States are condemning them for showcasing that joy that they rightfully feel and they deserve to feel. I watched that happen. I mean, a better example, one of the best examples is what happened this past week. A young woman named Munay Rahimi, who is Iranian, lives in the United States now, but she left only a couple of years ago. She's been studying

her in going to school. She's very passionate about politics, obviously, and she sees everything that's been happening in her country. She posted a video. We can just, you just show some of this while I describe it to those who are not watching the simulcast of the radio program, where she was celebrating, understandably. She was so happy about the hominy being removed and the regime falling. So she had this cute video that she put up. And she did the Trump dance to YMCA is what she did. We can't play the song on a video because we'll get hit with a copyright notice. But all she did, was she did the Trump dance. People loved it. Oh, but then those fourth wave feminists who have no idea what oppression is started attacking her. And I felt so bad watching that. So we wanted to have her on

to talk about what the truth is, what women in Iran really lived with from someone who grew up there, who has family there, and who knows it. Menei Rahimi joins me now on video. God bless you. Thank you so much for joining me and sharing your experiences. And I can't even imagine what it feels like in your heart to witness freedom arrive. I had someone tell me this isn't war, it's a liberation. Does that feel right to you? Yes. First of all, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to talk about the situation is happening in Iran and my people there. And yes, this is nothing like war to me, to people of the Iran inside of the Iran. It's called being rescue mission for the people of the Iran

they say it all the time the second that the strike started on Iran although President Donald Trump told the people of Iran to stay at home be safe they came outside in the street and they're celebrating there are like a thousand

widows out there you can see the people of Iran in the street of Iran they're coming out they're celebrating they're dancing to like songs and everything because they're so happy that finally President Donald Trump with the help of Israel Day coming for rescue them, because that's the only thing that they can rescue them from this dictator,

which just got eliminated a few days ago, Ali Khamenei, and there are thousand widows in Instagram, other social media, is that the people of Iran inside and outside, they're celebrating, they're dancing, and they're so happy. And that's, and it's that joy and that freedom, because, you know, prior to that, and especially for women, it hasn't been easy. I mean, I've seen video of women being harassed, like tons of women being harassed. If they weren't, not if it wasn't even an issue of being covered, if they weren't even properly covered.

Talk to me a little bit about what it was like and then now what you're expecting the change to deliver. Yes. So as I said before, I moved to U.S. two years ago. And before that, I was looking. living in Iran and I had a lot of experiences with Morality Police in Iran. I remember one time I just wearing a short pants like just a little bit short, just my ankles, just the ankles were out like revealing the little bit of skin of ankles. And the Morality police took me to their stations, they behaved, uh, behave women like me that they take because of the hijab, uh, like animals like in there. Like there's so many women they get getting beaten up in.

those places they take picture they took picture of me and then they are trying to like intimidate all the women and this is this is just because I revealed just a little bit of a skin of my ankle so just imagine a person a woman in Iran who just want to dress like they want they get that person and then they took them to the jail so I really when I see like those videos of people especially leftists in USA, that they're trying to advocate for us and then they're trying to say that this is like a war that USA shouldn't do this and this this and that, which just makes me so mad because these people, they didn't get to live under this situation. They don't have the experience.

We, Iranian, me, that I was in Iran two years ago, I was living there pretty much my whole life, all of my friend, all of my, part of my family, and all the relatives that I have, all they have the same experience as me. And when we're trying to reach our voice to the world, we see like these leftists just spreading propaganda, which is completely fake news. And just as I said, this is what we're trying to do.

This is what we're trying to, like, the whole world can actually hear us. We're talking for those just joining us to Menei Rahimi, who is an Iranian. She's a student here in the United States, came here two years ago. And she was attacked viciously by the left because she was celebrating the fall of Khmanini and the regime in Iran and celebrating the freedom now that people have. You know, because I hear from, you know, obviously in the United States, everyone's saying, well, who's going to fill that role in power in Iran? One of the things that I've been hearing from, you know, obviously, in the United States, everyone's saying, well, who's going to fill that role in power in Iran? One of the things that I've been hearing from, you know, you know, you know, my friends who have family in Iran and who had lived in Iran. They haven't lived there in a long time. But they were saying that the name that I keep hearing the most is Reva Palavi, Reza Palavi, who is the son of the De Poit Shah? Is that the name that comes up frequently from the people that you talk to in your experience? What are you here?

Yes, all the time, constantly, every second, people of the Iran inside and outside, they're just calling for one person who is Rezaphaffi. He came and then he said come to the street outside of the Iran and there were like millions of Iranian outside of the Iran coming to protest in February 14th, which just showed the word that we only have one leader, which is Rezopalavi. So it's very, very, very important for us to emphasize on this subject that because there are so many propaganda there are so many other organizations they're trying to like make like separation between like people of

Iran and then Reza Pahlavi to because this is like a very very very important historical moment a very single tiny mistake could like cause something that happened in 979 for Iran so it's very important to every Everyone in the world know that Reza Pahlavi is the only person that inside and outside the Iran his name is calling for. Inside of Iran you can see pictures of the people. They have Reza Pahlavi pictures in their hand with the background of fire and then hearing like bullets and shots and like snipers and everything.

They have like, they're so brave that they're bringing like Reza Pahlavi pictures. to the street just to say, okay, I might not be able to come back home alive, but this is the leader that I want the future of Iran be in it. So this is very, very important. And another thing that is very important is the territorial integrity, which is the red line also for the people of Iran and Reza Palavi as well. So I just want to use this opportunity to tell all the people around the world that we only have one leader, which is Reza Pahlavi, and he's been calling for inside and outside of Iran constantly every day. He seems incredibly popular, and not in an inorganic way. He seems very organically popular. His name for years. I remember, I think it was during the Green Revolution some years ago under former President Obam. Obama, there were people mentioning his name after Nita, the infamous woman who was shot by the Iranian Republican guards from the rooftop. And that went all over the world. And that was really one of the first times that Americans really started to see the way that the regime was

targeting the thousands of citizens. And his name seemed very, very popular even since then and before then. This, you know, you mentioned returning home safely and the people who said, I may not even be able to go back safely. I feel the other thing that's really overlooked in this country talking about this is the amount of civilians, the citizens that the Iranian regime killed, thousands of its own citizens that it killed. And it doesn't seem, you know, you mentioned the left. Their names in their lives don't seem to be in the minds of the left, especially the

people that were attacking you for being so deservedly jubilant about this. What are your thoughts on that? because, you know, I'm sure that these are people probably, you know. I mean, it seems like everybody's affected who came from Iran. Everybody knows somebody. Yeah, it just shows that the leftists or those activists that didn't talk about Iran massacre that happened a month ago, it's just showed that they're selective activists in this topic because there were 100,000 people got murdered by Islamic Republic, in a street got shot they were like body bags if you see those videos oh my god it's just like

even when i'm thinking about it it makes me um so angry there there are a thousand body bags there they executed so many people they were two years old kid got shot by islamic republic in their parents arm i just don't understand why these lefties why these activists do not see this But when it comes to the war, when it comes to the strike, they just suddenly wake up and then start talking about it. So where have you been when Iranian getting killed in a street just because they were chanting for their basic human rights? Basic human rights. They're getting shot, they're getting killed, the woman, the man, the woman, especially when they arrested them, they're getting raped in jail. And after them, so many of them got burned by Islamic Republic just to eliminate the proof of rapes on those bodies.

So I just don't understand why these feminists in USA or other countries that right now they're talking about it, why they didn't talk about the Iran massacre and these things that happened a month ago. Why didn't talk about it? That's an amazing question that they wouldn't be able to answer. Last question for you, Munay, and we really appreciate you joining us on this issue. What do you want to see happen now? Now that we're this far, and it seems like this is the closest that the Iranian people have been to real freedom in a long time, what do you want to see happen next? The only thing that I want to happen now is that we can successfully have the leadership, the transitional leadership of the Iran by Reza Pahlavi.

and the territorial integrity is very, very important for us. And we need Reza Pahlavi to transition this leadership so we can have a Democrat secular nation as we used to have before 19709. So just to mention that we need to the whole world know that we only have one leader, Who is Reza Pahlavi? And we need him to lead the future Iran and nobody else.

There is no other alternatives. Just one, Razaphaelavi. There we go. Menei, we so appreciate you speaking out. And you know what? You can dance and you can celebrate as much as you want to because you've earned it. And everyone else can be quiet about it. I thought your video was cute.

You're beautiful. And you just celebrate because you deserve it. And it's good. We love seeing people celebrate freedom. it's good to talk with you and you're welcome back anytime. Good luck and God bless and it's thank you for your time today. We appreciate it. Thank you so much. The folks who help make the program possible, it's the friends over at Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative cell phone service, right, that's out there. There's nobody else that does what they do. There's

nobody else that thinks like you. There's nobody else that supports the things that you support. There's nobody else that does it. And they actually financially support a lot of these issues as well, whether it has to do with the Second Amendment, whether it has to do with DEI or, you know, life. They've helped parents in my neighborhood, for instance, fight back against the super well-funded, organized left that were trying to fight them off and read and take the school board. And it was really bad. Patriot Mobile was involved with this rag-tag group of parents and helped it to where they could actually put out mailers in our community and not just organized, but buy the ads and buy the mailers and do the targeted internet ads, things like that.

They were so helpful. And parents, I don't think, would have won our school board back, had Patriot Mobile not been involved. So a lot of the left hate them for that. But they have the best service. They have premium prioritized nationwide coverage on the same or better than big carriers. You're getting fast speeds. 100% U.S.-based support team can get you switched over.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida, man. All right. Florida man, but top of the next hour we got our, Christine Holmes out. That just came out. POTUS confirmed it. We'll have all the latest. All right. So, I know. It's a crazy, crazy newsday.

Let's see. Oh, I need the Hello Kitty one first. Sorry, sorry, sorry. This one comes up first. Because this is like a Mad Libs headline. Ready? Florida men caught with meth inside of a Hello Kitty bag

during a traffic stop. Now hold up. What kind of Hello Kitty back. Like, are we talking a backpack? Are we talking like a coin purse? I don't know. I need to know. The driver, Raymond Allers 43 and the passenger, Tyler Humphrey 37, were inside. K-9 had to come in. And the deputies say, oh, boy, oh, no, did you see those mug shots? That is messed up. I mean, you know, to quote Mike Typhon, that's messed up. So Alar's as he exited the vehicle The bag that he was holding

He apparently dropped it and left it on the seat And the canine alerted to the bag And it was a little Hello Kitty bag And inside they found all these pipes and bags of meth It was a little pouch So it was a little hello kitty pouch is what it was He tried to run but that's not going to happen

And so they got charged with all kinds of stuff As you can imagine Like drug paraphernalia things like that I got to charge with everything. So, yeah, not smart. Never run. Like, why would you do that? Also, let's see.

Oh, I need to get into this one real quick. Because a man decided to turn a jail cell in, well, he tried to, he tried, okay. He urinated in the patrol car, and then he flooded his jail cell with a T-shirt in the toilet to make an indoor pool. sorry she Shequita Brunson 42 of Coral Springs She just made an improper turn Got pulled over

smelled like liquor urinated inside the squad car And then flooded her jail cell Yeah she's She posted Bond Got out Third hour next Ooh big news

Welcome to the top of the third hour Dana Lash with you So Christy Noem is out Senator Mark Wayne Mullen from Oklahoma is in It is official. And official being that POTUS has already tweeted about it. Well, he put it up on truth social and it's out.

And apparently, I guess, Christine Ome and Mark Wynne were both notified. This is what he put on truth social. He says, quote, I am pleased to announce that the highly respected United States, Senator from the great state of Oklahoma, Mark Wynne Mullen will be the next DHS secretary. of March 31st. Current secretary who has served us well and has had numerous spectacular

visits, especially on the border, will be moving to be, we'll be moving to special envoy for the shield of the Americas, our new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere that he's announcing on Saturday from his resort in Doral, Florida. He goes, I thank Christy for her service at Homeland. Okay, so my first thought is, that's going to take a vote from us for the Senate. Now, I don't know, Stitt's the governor up there. I don't know how that appointment process works. I don't know how long it takes. But, because I know some, they have to have a special election.

But apparently Oklahoma, Stitt can just, I think he can appoint someone. But I don't know how long that takes. And we've got the Save Act right now. You know what I mean? So I'm a little nervous about that. We need to stop pulling out people from the Senate. Stitt's been described as a moderate, so I don't know who he's going to pick. that's the other question.

He's been assailed as of late by folks saying that he's too moderate. So if that's the case, then is he going to appoint a moderate? Because Mark Wayne Mullen, for my understanding, is pretty conservative. You know, he's got two first names even. So he's, you know, pretty conservative. So I don't know what we're going to watch that. So why did this happen? That's the question.

All right. So the reason why it happened is apparently, because it all started with her questions and answers during the hearing. And it kind of smacked of a little bit of corruption a little bit. And the reason being is this is Perluc Roziac. So she had told there was a $200 million contract for DHS. She had gotten $200 million for an ad contract. contract. And it apparently went out to a competitive bid. And then career officials, Rosie

access, picked the winner, but only three handpick companies were allowed to bid. One firm that subbed to the spouse of Christine Ome's aide, McLaughlin, that Tricia McLaughlin, and then one link to Lewandowski. And then one was a Trump influencer. And so DHS said it reviewed websites and industry articles to determine that these companies were the only ones who could quickly run a $200 million ad campaign. Night doesn't do TV ads, Rosie X says, and he's a daily caller, reporter. One company had an empty web page and a disconnected phone, and the other was literally created like three days prior. So the ad campaign starred herself and was reportedly aimed at, and it was all on Fox News. Okay, I, scale a one to 10, how honest you want me to be here,

or not honest. I'm always going to be honest. How forthright do you want me to be? Do you want me to sugar coat it or not? You want 11? 11. Let's let let me ask the chat. What do they want? They want 11? I need to know before I get into this. Because there is a smorgas board of opportunity here. I'm going to let them weigh in. I'm letting the chat weigh in. Lorraine's going to let me know. I'm going to let them weigh in. I need to know scale of 1 to 10 because while we wait for that, the Daily Wire testified, reporter testified to the Senate about the government contracting schemes at the request of Republicans. Rosiak said that he looked into the contracting records and they are very unusual. Now, Luke Rosiak is a straight, you know, straight shooter. I've known him for a decade. A really solid reporter.

We've had him on the show before. He is one whose work is pretty unassailable. Like that's, Rosiak's work is the type of work that you can take into a courtroom. So that's, that's, you know, kind of, that's how that works. So, okay, everybody's saying 11. All right. So, $200 million ad buy, where she put commercials about illegal immigration on Fox News and they starred herself. She was like in every frame. I think that she treated taxpayer dollars and a $200 million ad buy as a vanity project so that she could show off her filler and her extensions. I'm not hating. I'm just saying, we all know it.

Stop lying. and on Fox News, like how many damn illegal immigrants are watching Fox News? Why do you have to have a 200 million ad buy? I know ad buys are expensive on Fox, but I've not seen these ads. I've only, I've not seen them anywhere else. Have you Kane? I'm not seeing them anywhere else. Rosie X says, it's all really weird.

Like, why are, I mean, you're, it was purportedly aimed at illegal immigrants who watch Fox News. What? So that's, I think she used it as a vanity project to brag about herself. Christine Ome is self-obsessed. She's obsessed with her image. She's self-obsessed. I think whether or not she's doing a good job at getting the border situated, and a lot of that is because of Tom Homan, is I think that you can question her involvement in it, but she doesn't do herself any favors with this type of stuff. And I think it was McLaughlin.

I might, and I'll double check that, but it was one of her staffers that apparently this stuff that this firm, that this money went to. And they were trying to say that it wasn't 200 million, that it was only like another six figures, but still, that's a lot. And I think that there deserves to be questions. But I need her to stop being so self-obsessed. I feel like some of these people, they go to Washington and they have midlife crises, and it's ridiculous. Stop it. I'm not begrudging anybody doing any kind of, you know, cosmetic, whatever. I don't care. Just do your damn job and I don't care. But when it seems like you're more self, you're more obsessed with how you're viewed and more obsessed with your appearance than you are at, at, at, at, transparency and not doing stuff like this, then yeah, it comes into question and we have a major problem. I told my husband when I first saw these ads all over Fox, is she talking about DHS or is this a Christy Knoem specifically ad? Because it's her face and it's images of her and she's like all over it and she voices over the entire thing. And it seemed a little weird. And you guys have heard me mention on the show before. Why couldn't that budget be used to just show the illegal aliens that have been arrested or been detained and deported instead of her, you know, glamor shots of her.

I get a little tired of it. And then it just makes it all seem like it's performative. I don't like unforced errors. I don't like people who continually turn in unforced errors. And I think that when you are becoming a giant unforced error, you are a liability. So Trump gravel pitted her. He cricketed her. Where's the lie? I know you all saw it the same thing. Can't tell me I'm wrong. That all those ads. you didn't stop and go, is this about Christy Noem or about DHS? Yeah, I mean, that was the question. We just assumed all of it was approved and, you know, there's a budget for that sort of thing.

But you're right, it was very Christy-centric. So the reason that Trump reportedly got angry is because she told Congress that it went out to a competitive bid and that Trump was aware of it. Apparently, now, this is what I'm hearing. That made him mad and that was the final straw. because apparently he was not aware and he did not like it. And that's it. Trump will overlook a lot of stuff. But when you start implicating him, he ain't going to overlook that.

I mean, he overlooks a lot of stuff. That's why he had some stupid people in his inner circle for some time before he kicked him to the curb. Sometimes I think he values the perception of loyalty more than common. competency that I would say is his biggest flaw. And I think it came into play here. So now they have Mark Way Mullen, who they're pulling from the Senate. Now, if it's true that Stitt can just appoint someone there, again, I question how conservative that person's going to be because Stitt has, you know, some criticism against him for being kind of a moderate. However, and yeah, they had this over there. It didn't, it seemed like, it seemed a little corrupt. So it seemed like, it seemed like,

like that there wasn't a lot of oversight with that. So I'm just saying, I'm not really upset about this at all, but you don't embarrass your boss. That's a big thing. When you make a problem for your boss and you, you know, like I said, you make an issue for him in the press, then you can't be surprised when something like this happens. I had to say, I was at the Doral one time. I was at the Durala one time and we were having dinner and Don Jr. was there and that's when he was still with Kim Guilfoyle and I watched her. I saw her come in with Corey Lewandowski and they sat at a table and I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying what I saw. They entered together and then they sat away from everybody else in the restaurant in the Doral in a room that wasn't actually being

used away from everybody. I'm just saying. I just thought you know I mean you had Sarah Huckabee Sanders that was there. She came in with her staff. Everybody came in with their little, you know, their little coterie of people. And they came in and they sat away from everybody. We were very nice and said hi. But everybody at our table, we all had to say everybody at our table. We all kind of went. And because there were so many people around, it was one of those things where you didn't want to say a lot because it would have gotten out public. So everybody just kind of did the whole like brainwave thing when I looked at each other and it was just odd. It was a little odd. And that was a few years ago when the whispers were kind of already underway. But I don't even

think that was a factor here. I think it was, it's the issue of the ad buy because I have not seen any other, not even military, have that kind of advertising power like we saw on Fox. How many ads would you, I swear on one, one hour, one primetime, ads on Fox are crazy expensive. Superbeats runs ads. I don't want to tell everybody's, you know, business. They run ads on Fox. Those ads are not cheap, y'all, especially during primetime, who boy, and Fox is very particular about their ads. If they don't like your ad, they won't air it. It's not like other networks. They're very bougie about their ads. They are very strict with them. So it's very expensive.

And I did think it was weird that there were so, I can understand like a couple here and there, but it's like every day, every hour. That's a lot of money. And if you're not saying, I would understand it more if they were like, here's who we got this month. Right. And then you show mugshot and then by the mugshot they have the offenses of the illegal alien. And here's this and their offenses. Here's this and their offenses.

Because there's enough that they could do that. I've even suggested doing that, but they didn't. It's just her face and it's her and she's here at the border and she's doing this. And it's just a little, it seemed a little self-indulgent, right? So now she's moving to the Shield of Americas. And maybe this plays more to her strengths. I don't know. Or maybe it's, maybe it's, he's like putting her out to pasture.

I don't know. we're going to see he's apparently going to be announcing this thing soon so you know we'll see how that goes but uh i don't know is she get a is she going to get a jet with that i don't know we'll see but it's pretty decisive and you can tell he's taking this very very seriously because this is a big thing for him with the with the border so that's the latest that is coming about that and we'll have a piece written up about that over at chapter and verse also but i um yeah very interesting and then of course course, this comes, now this comes on the heels. The House leadership has demanded that Tony Gonzalez get out of that primary, get out of the runoff. House leadership has now weighed in on Tony Gonzalez,

as you know in Texas, that congressional seat with Brandon Herrera. Pretty telling. And this, also on the heels of earlier today, it seems like Trump has weighed in on Paxton and Cornyn. because Paxton says, well, he had tweeted out, if John Cornyn, if he agrees to lift the filibuster and pass the Save Act, then I'll get out. So it sounds kind of like Trump already weighed in on that privately. And he's giving Paxton an off-ramp and then putting the pressure on Cornyn. There's a lot to unpack here. And also coming up, one of the things that we're going to talk about after headlines getting into some of these myths and this whole woke rike thing i want to talk about the us is liberty and facts i've been reading up on this i've read uh i've read a book i've read like actually

one of the big most recommended books on this uh and we're going to talk about this as well and some of the friendly fire stuff and now all of the news you would probably miss it's time for dana's quick five so the world obesity federation says that half a billion children will be overweight by 2040 without drastic action. And they've asked for governments to create healthy environments. Governments can create healthy environments by reducing the tax burden and reducing spending so that people have more of their own money. So they can buy healthier foods and fruits and vegetables and they don't have to rely on cheap over processed nonsense. But, you know, we can't have that conversation, can we?

So we can't dance around the periphery and pretend that all of this stuff actually matters. Moving on. Also, in addition to that, Microsoft is shifting focus to AI. Xbox is being sunsetted. They say it is no longer a priority. And now I hate Microsoft with the burning passion of a thousand suns. Their Xbox co-founder predicts the console is going to be phased out under the new CEO because everything's horrible.

And I hope aliens come and blast our rock into bits because this is just the last thing. I'm done. They said that they're going to have a pallet of care doctor who slides Xbox gently into the night. Everything is getting ruined. everything is getting ruined because they have a new CEO who literally isn't a gamer. Asha Sharma, not a gamer, knows nothing about gaming at all whatsoever. So there you go. A little short on this because we went very long last segment.

But we also have Congressman Brandon Gill, very busy breaking newsday. Congressman Gill joins us next day with us. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast. You're on the go guide for getting up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or your favorite podcast platform. Yep. And would you agree that as governor, ultimately you're responsible if tax dollars are defrauded? Yes, I would agree. Would you also agree that calling somebody racist is a serious accusation?

If they are racist? I think it's probably accurate. I'm asking you, is that a serious accusation to make about somebody? I think it's just an observation of reality. All right. Well, let's go there. Is it racist for? For a government official, do identify fraud? No. No. Is it Islamophobic? Do identify fraud?

Do I identify fraud? No, I don't believe. It would be. How come multiple whistleblowers have said that your administration told them not to say anything about widespread fraud across multiple agencies because doing so would be considered racist or Islamophobic? I can't speak to it because it's not anything I would say. Well, that's what your administration has said and has told whistleblowers. And as you just testified, the buck stops with you. That's what you stated in your statement whenever you announced. You weren't running again.

Oh, that absolutely was something. You guys have to remember a lot of this fraud, especially the feeding our future, that happened under a department that answers directly to Tim Walz because he controls it. That was a great line of questioning from Texas Congressman Brandon Gill, who represents the 26th Congressional District. He grilled Governor Walls yesterday. He joins us now via video. Congressman always appreciate your time, really enjoyed your line of questioning.

I mean, not only, and you had, I mean, we knew exactly the people who were following this story, we knew where you were going and we eagerly anticipated the conclusion for his answer. But they even voluntarily resumed that fraudulent program, even after these whistleblowers were raising these alarms. Clearly, you were not satisfied with the answers you were receiving. No, and, you know, this is a governor who's trying to abdicate all responsibility for what happened. know, on the one hand, he will say that the bug stops with him. On the other hand, he won't take responsibility for what his administration was actually doing. And what we saw from so many whistleblowers that the oversight committee has spoken to is that they were intimidated. They were

told not to speak out against this fraud, essentially to cover it up, because calling it out would be considered racist or Islamophobic. And that's the reason that it continued for so long. I mean, that's a serious problem. If agency members are not allowed or told to stay silent, as our tax dollars are being defrauded to the tune of billions and billions of dollars because they're going to get slanderous accusations of racism. And that came all the way from the top. The tone was set by Governor Walts. He was the governor. He was the one who essentially dictates what policy is in that state with regards to these programs and where this money goes.

So I think, again, the buck stops with him. He agrees with that. But I'd like to see him be more straightforward about the fact that the reason this fraud happened and perpetuated for so long is because of him. Yeah. Did it ever become clear? Because I know AG Keith Ellison, the AG4 Minnesota, he received kickbacks or money from these fraudulent programs because one of the guys who was running that or overseeing feeding our future was involved with his campaign as well as Illinois Mars and Jacob Fries. And you know some of that money went to Tim Walls. I'm just curious as to what you've seen in that context.

Yeah, I mean, what we basically learned through the course of this investigation, and this is the second hearing we've had on the topic, is that there was a sort of an implicit bargain that the Waltz administration made with the Somali community in Minnesota. And it was that you can defraud the American people. We're going to deliberately look the other way and allow you to do that. And in exchange, we expect you to vote Democrat. That was sort of the deal that was made. They knew this was going on for a long time, but didn't want to run.

rock the boat because the Somali community is an insular community in Minnesota. It does vote Democrat as a block. It tends to. And they didn't want to do anything to shake that up. And at the end of the day, the people who are paying the price for that are American taxpayers who have seen billions of dollars get laundered to who knows where, terrorists in Somalia, to fraudsters. I mean, it is so egregious and insulting. But that's what happened. I mean, what I would like to see here is Governor Waltz take more responsibility for what actually happened, but we need to see people thrown in jail for this. I mean, this was a, again, this was a massive, massive scandal. And it's going to happen again and again and again if we don't actually go after the people who are engaged in this and see real justice. Yeah, and to your point,

I mean, we saw some of this starting to bubble up in New Hampshire, even in places like Texas, which I want to kind of turn attention to, because after we saw, you know, the initial opening of attacks on strikes in response to Iran's, 1979 declaration of war on the United States. We had this guy, Austin, Texas, who decided to open fire on 6th Street and kill several people, three individuals, I believe, and injure like 15 more. And then it comes out, this guy is an Islamist. He's got this shrine to Iran, which raises the question of, who are we letting into this country? And why are they not being vetted? He came in under Clinton. He even after he had his criminal convictions, he was given legal status. under Obama and Biden. How does that even happen? Well, that's the core question. Why in the world would this person, is this person in our country to begin with? You know, we ought to be, you know, as a sovereign country, the American people determining who we want to come into our country, who benefits the American people. I mean,

the core purpose of our immigration system is to benefit our people. That's why it exists. We don't have any obligation to allow anybody to come into our country, much less somebody from an Islamic country who adheres to an Islamic political ideology who is easily radicalized. And for all we know, he was radicalized at the time he came into our country. I mean, this was somebody who was wearing a sweatshirt, property of Allah, had Iranian flags on his t-shirt, somebody who clearly is a terrorist, who came in legally. I mean, I think this is the perfect example of why mass migration, whether it's illegal or illegal, is incredibly problematic and something we ought to be tackling a lot more boldly and directly. And I'm so happy that you're speaking out it as boldly as you are because it seems,

you know, honestly in the past that, you know, Republicans have been a little afraid to talk about it. I mean, they always, they talk about illegal immigration and that's an issue. But what you said is incredibly important because even legal immigration with some individuals that are coming in like this guy, I mean, there's a number of examples. Like in Texas, when we first moved here in 2013, six months before, there was an honor killing 20 minutes from where we were in Irving, Texas. A guy killed his two daughters because they were too well. He was an Islamist. He had immigrated here with his family, and that was at the same time they were trying to establish, really officially a Sharia court. You've spoken out about this. Texas just declared war on Sharia, passing a mandate this week against the establishment of Sharia in these kind of courts. What do you think, in your opinion, needs to be done to push back a little bit more aggressively on this? Well, there are multiple bills that are being floated around in Congress right now that would ban Sharia nationally. I think that's a great first step. It's not.

going to solve the problem, but it is a great first step for us to take. I think drastically reducing legal immigration is the next step to take. And there are lots of reasons beyond simply this. But this is, again, is the perfect example. You know, we've got to recognize basic principles and basic truths. And one of them is that not all cultures are equal and not all ideologies are equally compatible with our governing system and bringing in people who believe that, you know, who have very different conceptions of separation of church and state, and the freedom of speech and freedom of religion, or the role of women and dignity of women in society is idiotic and suicidal. Not every culture is assimilable into the American way of life. And again,

that's something that for a long time, I think Republicans have seen as a bit uncouth, something you didn't want to talk about. But I think it's a truth that we need to be straightforward about. because it is incredibly dangerous for our own people and our obligation, especially as elected members of Congress, is to protect the American people. You know, just because immigration is legal does not necessarily mean that it is good for us. And we've got to be, again, we've got to be straightforward about that. That's a great point. Talking with Congressman Brandon Gill. I saw this post from you, and I had not seen this from James Tolariko, the now Democrat running for Senate. I actually, not that I thought you would ever post anything that was satirical, but I had

actually, I looked at this to make sure he actually said this. He was saying, he called back in June of 22, called on Joe Biden to use federal buildings to provide abortion. So as you noted, hysterically, you said James Tolerico thinks women should get abortions at your local passport office. Did anybody vet this guy? This is a radical. I mean, you want to talk about radical ideology. this is it. Where do these people come from? This is like the Beto O'Rourke factory. They're all made in, like they're all made in the same place. That's not going to fly. No, it's not going to fly. That's, that's not what Texans want. You know that better than anybody. You know, it's amazing that, you know, we were pretty focused on Jasmine Crockett. James Tolariko is far to the left of

Jasmine Crockett. I mean, he makes her look sensible and reasonable and dignified. But this is a guy who latched on to every single weird woke ideology that was in vogue in the early 2020s, whenever woke was so popular with the left. And you've seen Democrats try to shift away from it because the American people caught on and realized this stuff is insane. You know, talking about transgender people need abortion access, that, you know, the Bible and the enunciation is somehow evidence that God is pro-abortion, that we should be giving abortions in federal buildings. I mean, that's nuts. Not to mention talking about how God is non-binary, how prisons or violence. I mean, you can go on and on and on. This guy has a long track record, a very extensive track record of saying things that are just ludicrous. Yeah. Last question for you. You had called for Tony Gonzalez to step down. Are you interested in seeing POTUS back, Brandon Herrera, in this race? I mean, because it seems like he's weighing in on the corn in Paxton thing. But a lot of people are hoping that he also kind of steps away from Gonzalez and who is a big gun control guy, really soft in H-1Bs and immigration, and Bax Herrera.

What are your kind of 30,000 foot thoughts on that? Well, we'll see what the president does. I think he's going to make the right decision here. And we'll await him making a public announcement on that. But I was the first Texas congressman to publicly say that Tony Gonzalez needs to drop out of the race. You know, I think that elected members of Congress need to have at least a modicum of integrity. And I think he's violated that. You know, having an affair with your chief of staff and

not to mention everything that happened afterwards really is beyond the pale. And I think for the good of the country, for the good of the people of his district, he does need to drop out of the race. And I was glad to see House leadership announce earlier today that he needs to drop out. Oh, yeah. That's a good point too. And congrats on your, I think you got like all the votes in your primary. You got like 90, sometimes like 96, 97 percent of the vote. I mean, I almost feel bad for the guy who tried challenging you in that primary because it wasn't even a competition. So congratulations on that. Congressman Brandon Gill, we appreciate your time and appreciate your fight for us in D.C. Good to see you.

So one of the things that we're wanting to do is look at some of these crazy conspiracy theories and myths that have been promoted by online and a lot of its woke rites, woke rike stuff. And we had a lot of breaking news today. So we're short on time this segment. One of the things that I wanted to dive into is as like the opening for this is looking, for instance, at the stuff that's around USS Liberty.

And this was, you know, it's, I've seen it come up a lot. I think the last time we saw it come up was a question to Eric Trump at a T.P. USA event. And a lot of it, you know, it's the woke rike, like the Carlson's and the Owens is and the Fuentes is and all of this kind of stuff. And that they get into, and this was during the days of LBJ, et cetera, they get into this USS Liberty. and I feel like they're just like repeating talking points from people. It happened in 1976 in June, and it was during the hostilities of the Six-Day War. And the accusation is that Israel, who is America's ally, decided to just bomb the hell out of USS Liberty. And, you know, it was because they hate Americans, et cetera, et cetera.

But the problem, it's actually, there's actually a lot more to it than that. And I wanted to not only talk about that, but also other friendly fire incidents, because that's, how it was classified as. You know, the Liberty, USS Liberty at the time was in the Mediterranean, and they were looking at performing signals intelligence. So it was a spy vessel that was in the Mediterranean. It was in, it was actually approaching what was considered a war zone, right? And they were given the, what's called the closest allowable point of approach, and which was X amount of nautical miles from Egypt and X. amount of, you know, nautical miles from Israel. And then when the Six Day War started, they were

getting more messages about increasing that distance to be further and further out. But apparently, there was ineffective messaging because they were routing the messaging, not through the Navy, but through the Army and a couple of other things. And it was just like a Rube Goldberg machine of messaging and communications and routing. And so it wasn't until, apparently according to what the investigation found after the attack that the messages were received. And they ended up sailing right in the middle of a serious act of war zone. And all hell broke loose. And there was, and it really was the result of bad communication. I want to do a deep dive into that. And I want to set it up right now because I'm going to, we're going to go over exactly what

happen. And then we're also going to look at other friendly fire incidents, especially Normandy, and going into Italy during World War II. So there is a lot here to unpack. And I just want to make sure that you have the facts. You can make your determination, but you have the facts at hand so that you can judge whether or not you're being sold some snake oil or not. All right, Kane, today in stupidity. You know, one thing I've noticed is that the people that we refer to as the deep state, members of the deep state, like John Brennan, for example, have been really against this whole Iran thing when they were really for a lot of Middle East force when they were in power. So let's listen to Cut 16 and see how accurate John Brennan is here.

We're at a very dangerous point because as this Trump realizes, I think, that the war in Iran is not going the way he had hoped and wanted. This is a real mess. Is it? Is it a real mess? Yeah. For Iran? Yeah, for Iran, it's a real mess. Big mess for Iran. Big mess for Iran. Exactly. Exactly. Folks, that does it for us today. I'm going to be on with Jesse Waters tonight in the 7 p.m. Central Hour. In the meantime, have a great rest of your evening. And I will be back with you. Health permitting, I'm starting to get under the weather tomorrow.
