From day one, my administration has been committed to fixing the broken student loan system and making sure higher education is a ticket to the middle class, not a barrier. My administration has approved debt cancellation for 4 million Americans through various actions. And today, I'm announcing new plans that would cancel student debt for millions more. In total, these plans would cancel some are all student debt for 30 million Americans when combined with everything we've done so far. To find out how these plans may impact you, visit student aide.gov. No.

I need more coffee in my coffee. I need more bitterness than my coffee this morning. I really do. It's Monday, and I already got President Daddy showers down here. Sitting here promising all my money away. Promising all my money away to grad school brats. I said it! So you don't have to.

It's Eclipse Mania Monday. day, by the way. And. Cedar season. I'm just doing it. You know what? Because people are like, why do you sounds like, you know why? Because I on a scale, first off, I'm going to, yeah, yeah, get to everything. Tell you who I am, blah, blah, blah, you know.

On a scale of one to ten, I am apparently level 20 allergic to cedar. I have to get like a whole new formulation of allergy shots and everything. That's why I sound like, like this. I'm not leaving Texas, though. It's not going to happen. We have our own gold and our own grid.

Thank you. All right. So anyway, welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. Starting a new week off, hatefully. And, well, wouldn't you be like this

on a Monday? You have Biden telling everybody, well, we've got another round. What round is this? I'm on like five or six, right? We're on five or six rounds of student loan forgiveness. Wait, I didn't forgive it.

Did you forgive anything? I didn't. Well, I didn't forgive nothing. I don't think Steve forgave anything. We didn't forgive nothing. But yeah, guess who gets sacked with all of it? Yeah, we all do. They'll get you some way or another.

They will get you some way or another. So this is one of the big things that they're doing today that they're announcing. They're pushing out this latest student loan, whatever, another one, because Biden's got to buy vote. Like, don't you find it fascinating that is just now an issue for him? just now. It's just now an issue for him. But it wasn't an issue for Democrats

until they needed to buy the vote. I don't know what they're going to do going into the election year. I don't know what they're going to do. They can't buy everybody's vote because that'll make some people mad. I don't know what they're going to do. So that's,

there's kind of three big things sort of are watching because the House is coming back into session. They've got to fight over the Ukraine stuff. And good luck with that. They have to fight over all the Ukraine stuff. Then you also have the GOP and abortion, which we're going to talk about coming up. Oh, I know. We're going to talk about it. I might surprise you with my analysis of the nominee, the RNC nominee, and his statement on this because he came out, he posted

like a, what is, like a couple of minute video to his platform. And he was discussing how he thinks it's something after the women's health, Jackson Women's Health case, and then the taking of Roe v. Wade, it was Dobbs v. Jackson and Women's Health, which then took Roe v. Wade and the jurisdiction of abortion essentially and kicked it down to the states,

which is constitutionally correct. And we're going to talk about this in a very logical way because as someone who defines themselves as pro-life, I want to win on the issue, and I want to win, I mean like win on the issue. You've got to do it smart to win on the issue. And we're going to talk about this coming up. We're also going to discuss the effect that it may have on the November election because

if Democrats get their way, it will be the entirety of the election, which is asinine when you consider literally everything else that's happening around the world right now to say nothing of energy, the economy, inflation. We had Carol Roth on, on, was it Thursday? Friday. Thursday. We're on Thursday. Was it Wednesday?

Was it Wednesday? I don't know. I was so depressed after her. She always comes on with like on the most depressing topic. She's so fun. And like at some point we're going to have her on and we're going to have like a party or something. But she's always on basically like, yes, we're all going to die broke and we're going to be eating, you know, bugs in the desert. That's what's going to happen. And oh, nothing. And we'll be told to be happy by the government. So the economic situation, horrific. Then you have, I don't know, are we going to be in World War III? If Biden keeps going this way, yeah, then we've got this issue. And then now you've got the, oh, and the eclipse mania today. But then you also, now you have, you know, Democrats are just focusing on. No, it's about abortion, ladies. I know we have all these issues, but we've got to worry about abortion. Got to worry about abortion. They're not going to sit here and tell you about crime.

You know what? Crime concerns women. Women are disproportionately affected. They're not going to sit here and talk about crime to women. So they're going to try to scare you with abortion. It's the most sexist thing I can think of because this isn't most, this is, it aggravates me because it is an issue that older women use. Abortion is what older women use as a form of birth control. Don't get mad at me for sharing with you the publicly available on this tool called the internet, the statistics that are compiled by Planned Parenthood themselves and are made available to the public.

Half of the public doesn't care. They just, they want to run with their narrative and they don't want to see any evidence. to the contrary. They want to believe what they want to believe. And their belief is that you got people out there raping everybody and coat hangers galore in back alleys. That's what it is. That's what they want you to believe. And that's not the truth, actually. The truth is a lot more shocking because it's older women who use it as a form of birth control. That is God's honest truth. Now, most Americans support, and by most, I mean the overwhelming majority, Democrats and Republicans and independents and everybody else, they come down on a 15-week ban. So the strategy of people who are to find themselves

as pro-life, because I'm not going to, I'm not paying homage to this whole exception of the life of the mother, because it's included already. That's already codified every single, every single state statute is already in existence. So it feels silly to talk about whether or not something that exists exists because it exists. But having this go to the states, I would think gives pro-life people more of an advantage

because the Democrats are desperate to make this a national issue for one reason and one reason only. So like I said, we're going to talk about this here. Audio Sumbite 15, though, can you just hit me in the head with this, please? This is Secretary-Mayer, poop booty juice. Go ahead. It's Monday. So we need to talk about the reality here.

And again, there is a lot of funding and a lot of energy going into telling a different story, especially on ideological news outlets and online. But the simple facts and the simple reality are right here staring us in the face, including the fact that I can safely walk my dog at the Capitol today in a way that you couldn't do when we all got here. And also... I'm sorry, what? What's he talking about? That's Pete Beatty Juice. And he's, I mean, I just... was reading his story, but I mean, he was literally beaten to death in a D.C. Alley. Did you hear about that one? Yeah, that happened. I mean, don't look at the crime data.

Where does he live? I can walk my dog safely to... With his security, of course. Yeah, with, yeah, with his security and... But does he really walk his dog? Do you guys remember this video that, gosh, when... I think this was right after he's... This was like his second, first or second week, I think, after Secretary, Mayor, previously, Vice Admiral of the Canoe Fleet at Camp Wimbitonka, Pootty Juice was, it was like his first year or whatever as transposed secretary, right? And he was, he was caught by the press, riding, caught by the press, it was set up, it was a pap shot. He was riding his bike with this dorky little helmet on, riding his little bicycle, but he, like, stopped. Didn't he stop?

and he didn't actually bike all the way to DC. Wasn't he in like a vehicle? And then they pulled the vehicle fleet over and they took his bike out and then they put his little dorky helmet on and then he rode his bike for like two blocks. So do you honestly... Okay, he was trying to fake you out about that.

Do you really honestly think that this dude walks his dog? I walk my dog every day. I don't believe he does. I walk my dog to the Capitol compared to four years ago. It was different four years ago. this is poop booty juice want

showing you in the simulcast this is literally they drove him two blocks away from the capital then hands to sky they took his bike out he gets on his bike he's got his dorky little helmet on

you can see it still when everyone believed that the cloth the face panty they thought that was scientific so you can still see it's in that era and then he biked to

he thought he was hidden by the trees y'all it's like watching a toddler play hide and seek he thought he was hidden he's not hidden you can see who clear his day He gets on that little bike. He probably don't even know how to work it.

I bet that's what he's trying to figure out. Like, where are the brakes on this? What is this? Vice Admiral here of Camp Wippey Tonkos Canoofleet getting on his bike, bikes for two blocks to the Capitol. You know, with all of his security. Look at all of his people setting up a bike for him. There he goes. He's going to bike, guys. He's biking. He's the serious bicyclist. What? Look, he loves, he cares about the environment. Note his security with him. his security's got the bike with the beefy tires right he's he's and he's got like a whole SUV fleet following him you believe this man walks his dog so green hell to the no yeah so green look at it

for every bicycle ride that peed booty juice takes you've got like a fleet of SUVs and a dude on a gas power beefy tired bike yeah whatever I didn't care dude stop yeah he drove his dog to the park and then got out and walked it at the park no he didn't drive his people drove him right and then they got the dog out for him and harness to the dog up.

He didn't even touch said dog. He just walked next to the dog. He literally had someone squat down and catch the do in their hand. Just that, yeah, that's what he did. I don't doubt it. Catch the do. Catch the do. It's my new dog product. I'm calling it booty bags for your dog.

It's named after our secretary poop booty juice. We're trademarking it right now. It's a booty bag. You just sit down, catch the do. That's literally the tagline. Nobody steal it. I will steal it. I will sue you. you for everything you have. It's the American way. I'm just saying. Let's see.

So it's eclipse mania. Is it? Don't look at me badly. I really don't care. Is that mean to say? I just, okay. The moon goes in front of the sun. Whoa!

I just, I ran out a mouthwash today. I mean, I don't know. Like what? This is like, right? Is that mean to say? I feel like I'm leaving a popular party by saying this. You know how like you just leave? If you're at an event, you got to go and it's an event you, you know,

you feel like you should be at because everybody's there. I feel like everybody's super excited about this eclipse and I just don't care. It's a celestial event. I don't care. Is that mean? Do you care? Are you really excited about this thing? You mean, am I emotionally attached to it so much?

Or even remotely. Yeah, I mean. You're in interest, your disinterest in it is somehow makes me upset. No. It doesn't. Okay. You're all right. I mean, I would never...

People booked hotel rooms. I feel bad for the people who booked hotel rooms in cloudy areas. Like ours. They're walking outside like, well, gosh, dang it! Looking at the sky. It's the damn government controlling the weather. It's the chemtrails. So you don't see the solar eclipse.

I see what they're doing. Somebody got two crystals out and banged him together and squirted some essential oil out. It made everything cloudy. My gosh. Or worse. I just don't care about it. If I see it, woo! If I don't,

okay is that weird to say that i'm just i don't get excited about stuff now if it was sweet meteor of death ho ho i would be out there ready i'd be out there like that that uh timothy shallame from dune with my two anchors ready to ride that thing i'd just get ready to like you how you you got to see the movie anyway all right we got to get moving because we got headlines coming up and the eclipse is making us all dumb we're going to start talking backwards or something i bet that's what happens right If we don't get hit by a rock and aliens don't come, we'll probably start talking backwards and everything will be dark and we have to sacrifice somebody to make the sun come back and I don't know. We'll just see. All right, we got that kind of a day. With this eclipse or any, you know, what if there's a natural disaster? You want to be prepared.

So is the solar eclipse going to disrupt your cell service? No, you're just going to talk backwards and sound like a devil. That's all. That's all it is. I don't even want to say it's a joke. I'm just in the very sardonic mood. I love how this article starts. as darkness envelops millions of people during Monday's total solar eclipse.

I know, right? Drama. They just want to know if their cell phones are going to work. I can't wait for the flood of blurry photos to be on Instagram. So is my cell service going to work? I can post it on Instagram. You better be using Patriot Mobile, by the way. Otherwise, you're just supporting the devil.

I don't know what else to tell you. Let's see here. Parts of New York State, they're apparently not going to see the total eclipse anymore. If you're in Hudson Valley, nature decided to do a takes-sease for you, and you're not going to get to see it anymore. Yeah, they updated all the times for that. So, bummer. Let's see, if you forgot to get solar eclipse glasses, you can literally put a colander on your head. Apparently, that's what somebody suggested.

I don't really think these glasses work. I don't know. I just think it's all goofy. Here's the idea. When it looks dark out, sneak a peek. And then when the sun comes back out, don't look. at it. That's real simple. Do you have to spend $5 on glasses? I hear that the most dangerous part is that

little bit leading up to the total eclipse, but the actual total eclipse you can look right. The corona around it, not the beer, the corona around it, you can, you're not going to fry your eyes out. But if you have the wrong glasses on and you're staring at it, you realize you're cooking your eye. You're making an eyeball souffle. Maybe don't do that. So just, you know, when it looks dark. Sneak a peek. You don't have to stare at it forever. You know, just sneak a peek.

I'm just saying if you don't have the glasses. Let's see here. Forecasts for cloudy skies. Cast a shadow over North American Solar Eclipse Times. Apparently, all the, yeah, you apparently got to either fly above the clouds or get a drone. I don't care. And Morgan Whalen was arrested.

That's nothing to do with the eclipse. You're like, why is Morgan Whalen in this? This is because how it is. How we structured it today. He apparently threw a chair at the Chiefs Bar. Last night and he's got three counts of reckless endangerment and one counter disorderly conduct. I thought this was a Merrick officer. They said that the chair landed, the police that the chair landed just three feet away from him. So he bonded out at 15,000. So he was under arrest. We have a lot more in store,

including Eclipse Mania, culture, GOP, abortion. Stay with us. Elevate your commute, workouts, or downtime with the Dana Show podcast.

You know, people will say, oh, my power bill is constantly going up, you know, what do you say to people here in Georgia who may feel that frustration? You're seeing the impacts, really, of climate change on people's heating bills, not just in Georgia, but around the country. It's called going into summer, you clown poops. That's what it's called. Going into summer and you're in Georgia. And we live in a time of inflation. That's

what it's called, but no, you got Democrats who are running all of this, making all of these decisions that are jacking up prices. So they got to think, oh, it's the boogeyman of climate change. Oh, climate change going to get you. Oh, ho. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash here with you. That was Jennifer Granholm, another diversity hire. They hired one guy because he's gay. They hired her because she's abroad. That's why. Let's just be honest about it. So she's the energy secretary. She's saying, oh, well, the reason that prices are increasing. It's, you know, climate change. Couldn't be Biden's economic policies. It couldn't be the fact that you guys are restricting the energy sector.

It couldn't be any of those things. It has to be the ghost of weather. It's what it is. Can we throw up this audio from the view? Because I've even seen the left say, because you got, now hold up, you had the earthquakes, Taiwan earthquake. Then you had the earthquake on the East Coast. And now because there was an earthquake on the East Coast, everybody thinks that everything bad is going to happen now because people are so damn self-centered.

Anything, you know, anything happens in New York and everyone immediately. assumes that it's the end of the world because how could it happen to me it's you know new york it's where the media is so the media internalizes everything and then you got the cicadas the two groups of the weird cicadas coming up and now you've got the eclipse and all these broads are saying that it's because of like climate change and in times i'm waiting for one of them to bring out snakes to use in their worship practices. Watch. Kind of crazy is with the earthquake on Friday and then the eclipse today, people are having all sorts of conspiracies about the end of the world. And then I read online that the earthquake

epicenter was actually at Bedminster in New Jersey. This is the World Nutley Nebo Baby. Fun fact. It originated with Trump. I know, right? I mean, I have to say Karen DuPiche are one of our wonderful makeup artists. When the earthquake was happening, she put her coat on and she was like, Jesus is coming. I'm out. I'm out. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. we've got a solar eclipse. We've got the earthquake. She ran down the hallway. The rapture is here.

The rapture is here. And then also I learned that the cicadas are coming. Cicadas. Cicadas. I'm sorry. I was supposed to be breaks. Full stop. How out of touch are you if you don't even know what that bug's called?

Everybody knows what that bug's called. Corrine. Cicada. It's not like a jazz quartet. It's a bug. Or a cheese. Welcome. We're the cicadas.

We're a Dave Brubeck cover band. Like, what does it matter with you? Stop. It's a cicada. Cicada. What in Bougy Nordstrom, hell is that? Cicada. It's like Prada.

I can't even get into the rest of this video. That one took me by surprise. Well played. Well played. Because they got into, you had the Nepel baby and the conspiracy theories. And then they were, so they ended up saying, well, you know, we've got also the eclipse happening. Who could have predicted that?

I don't know. The people who predicted it 70 years ago and then the people who predicted it 70 years before that and 70 years before that and 70 years before that, they can do those things. They can, it's like a, they're not profits. They just pay attention to the weather and, you know, gravitational forces and all this kind of stuff. It's not hard. Sikata. Good grief. Almost makes it sound like a delicacy. That's nasty. But they, I can't tell you. I, I can't tell you. I, I can't you how many things I've seen where people are suggesting that the eclipse is somehow like a climate event. Wow, can you believe it? The weather is so hot that it just pulled the moon right into the sun. Oh, man. Guys, these people vote. You believe that? They drive cars near you? Well,

some of them don't, but good night. It's not that at all. No worries, guys. Let's not. Let's not say we did. we've got the eclips mania. We'll talk more about, apparently there's three things you're not supposed to do. I think we kind of covered it, though. We were touching on the student loan proposal. So Trump has said he came out with this video where he mentioned he was talking about abortion, came out with this video, says that abortion should be left to the states. He said there should be, well, there are exceptions for rape and says. he didn't specify a weak limit.

It was a four-minute video that he posted to his social media platform. And this was, you know, this is an issue that Democrats are desperately trying to make a big thing, but a national big thing. Do we have some, we have some of his video here. He came out and he said that it should be left up to the states. And he celebrated the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. and he said that he was proud of that being done. We'll play some of this. This is audio sound by, I got a flashback, but I don't want the flashback.

I want the big video. We should have it. Let's see we can get that pulled up. But he had said previously that he would support a 15-week federal-level ban, but this is him saying that he likes for it to be state-by-state. Can we play this, please? Go ahead. Juan's pulling it up right now.

They will always support the creation of strong, thriving, and healthy American families. We want to make it easier for mothers and families to have babies, not harder. That includes supporting the availability of fertility treatments like IVF in every state in America, like the overwhelming majority of Americans, including the vast majority of Republicans, conservatives, Christians, and pro-life Americans. I strongly support the availability of IVF. for couples who are trying to have a precious baby. What could be

more beautiful or better than that? Today I'm pleased that the Alabama legislature has acted very quickly and passed legislation. I will say I do, and I get some of what people are saying

because there are some people who are criticizing him saying you literally were going after people like Ron DeSantis and Brian Kemp and others for passing their own state legislation regarding that. Yes, he was. He did. This is where he kind of gets in his own way. I actually, I don't like that he used the phrase abortion rights because I don't believe that that's a thing.

Just like I don't think that's an existence, that doesn't, you got to be careful about the language that you use and to not validate your opposition by using their language. So I think that. And this is why you have to be careful in a primary. You can't just, you know, throw a punch. and not have any regard for the future. Because now there are going to be some people, and I'm seeing them right now, they're questioning his sincerity and whether or not he would actually stick to that because he was so combative with governors that were doing this in their own states. And I think that that's a perfectly justifiable thing to point out. I mean, you're literally just pointing to the stuff that he actually wrote and posted on his own platform

and in things that he said in interviews. If this is his position, then aside from the fact that he said abortion rights, I don't think that it's a bad political position. And we're going to talk more about that because we've got to look at past, we've got to look at how some of these issues have been performing in elections and how to do it better. One thing, too, this is what I get really aggravated about. Whenever anyone, people I know, good people who are pro-life, whenever I see them try to have, a conversation about this issue. And they are trying to discuss strategy in which that you would use to protect life going state by state.

And then they're accused, which is the formula of calling someone a racist that the left uses. They're accused of not being pro-life or as pro-life by people who are like the Susan B. Anthony organization or, and I don't dislike them. but I see some people really trying to impugn the characters of others by suggesting that somehow they are less devoted to life because they have a different strategy. I find that specious. I find it malicious. I find it leftist. And I find it undermining the very cause that you're stating that you want to go out and support that, the cause that you want to champion.

And there's a reason why I say this. If you look at some of the past six elections where you've looked at it state by state, pro-lifers haven't done too well. Some of its messaging. Actually, I think all of its messaging. It's not because that doesn't sell. It's because you've got to get better at the messaging. And you can't be having these little, these fights about strategy like this way out in the open.

And be accusing people of being less, having less of a regard for life because they want to approach it state by state incrementally. So it's not an all or nothing gamble for them. And you can't have this be all or nothing. you will lose. It is an incremental fight. And it's also a stronger, by doing it incrementally, it's legally stronger, which we're going to talk about coming up. But his remark, I didn't like that he used, he posted on his platform, he said abortion

rights. And you can't use that phrase. Is he two things. Is he the best messenger? No. Is he conservative on this issue? No. But is this.

a strategic pathway that actually would cement and place safeguards and gain pro-life more than they've gained thus far electorally, state by state, and taking it, taking the fight like this. Yes, I actually think this is a smarter move. There's a reason why Democrats are trying to make this a federal issue. There's a reason why they are fighting this going state by state. And it's not because they don't think they can win. If they wanted a marshal their forces, they could. It's easier for them to try to make this a federal issue and they need it as they get out the vote mechanism. Do not grant them this. Now, I'm having a rare second cup today. I think it's because of the eclipse. I don't know. It's veteran-owned, veteran run, and they hire veterans and active duty,

and they also support our first responders serving premium coffee to people who love America. So unlike a lot of the, look, I'm going to tell you, I really think that there's like this effort to go after Black Rifle Coffee from like the Starbuts and all of that out there because Black Rifle Coffee is mainstreaming two things. They're mainstreaming, you know, support of USA, American Pride, but they're also mainstreaming Second Amendment stuff. I mean, it's literally

called Black Rifle Coffee. And they just happen to make amazing coffee because it's a bunch of dorks who love coffee. I mean, I love all of them, you know, I'm not, I don't use it as pejorative. But they're really boozy about their coffee without the bougie prices. I mean, these are excellently roasted coffee

beans. They get the best beans. They bring them to the US of A and they roast them for what five, six days a week at their facilities in Utah and in Tennessee. And then they ship it right to your door. And if you're a member of the coffee club, you get free shipping so you can pick your roast, your frequency of shipment. And it shows up at your door so you never run out of coffee. And they have ground, whole bean, K cups, ready to drink. Every type of coffee and way to adjust it. They have it. And they have, I mean, just again, amazing roast profiles. They also have like the grinders and the mugs and the cuddles, everything you need for a great. perfect brew.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.

in states. If you don't feel safe, get off the airplane. This is your captain speaking, but never like this. I'll stop and I will fly the airplane. Don't worry, I'm going to let my co-pilot fly it. He's a man. It's a total meltdown. The pilot boarded in her street clothes and addressed the passengers over the intercom.

Passenger Pam O'Neill couldn't believe what was happening. She said, let's take a vote. How many of you would like to take off now with me dressed as I am or would you She preferred that I take 10 minutes to get changed into my cute little uniform. Then she started talking about her divorce and political candidates. In the minute she mentioned that a gentleman stood up and just yelled, whoa, enough. You're scaring me. Another passenger, Randy Reese, got up to leave and gave a running commentary on social media.

Pilot also insulted a couple on board. Did I offend you? Okay, so did I purposely offend you? I did. Oh my gosh. Yes. these disarm doors. After 20 passengers insisted on getting off the United Airlines flight, the pilot quietly left the aircraft. Okay, if you don't feel safe, get off the airplane. Yeah, I hope she's

fired and she has her license revoked permanently. I don't ever think that she should ever fly a plane again. That's United. That is insane. I would have gotten off the plane. Yeah. I maybe would have, I would have withheld the urge to punch her in the face, but I would have gotten off the floor. There's no way in Hell I don't let that woman fly me. That's insane. You've never seen a man pilot do that. Just saying, be like, woman, you need a whole bottle of my doll.

Chill. I haven't even seen other female pilots do that. True. I never see, I can't, that's insane. That is insane. What is wrong with people? Like the sense of entitlement, your cute little uniform.

There's standards for a reason, sweetheart. Get off the plane. Oh, I would have been, the moment she would have opened her mouth, I would have been up and out. No way. No way. I wouldn't have flown with her on the plane either. She would have had to literally be off the aircraft.

No way. No way. That's crazy. Some of us have issues enough with being in a little metal tube in the sky with people. You know, without that on top of it. But she felt like she was inoculated from any kind of criticism or accountability because she's a chick. A lot of women on the left feel like that. They think that they're inoculated from any kind of criticism or accountability for their actions because they're not just a woman, but they're a woman on the left. Because, you know, if you're a woman and you are independent or rightward leaning or on the right, that negates your vagina.

I don't know if you realize that, but it cancels that out. You are genderless after that. That's the thing that the left does, bippity boppity booby-oo. but the idea i mean that she got up there and just thought that that was perfectly acceptable that's insane and i don't like her hat i didn't like her hat either i just didn't like anything about her at all immediately she didn't have to say nothing and i'm like mm-hmm karen okay cynthia that's that's would you have flown on that you'd have gotten up too wouldn't you have i would have said something snarky well yeah but you but if but i would definitely got out

after saying the snarky thing. Or I would have said the snarky while walking out, one of the two. I probably would have stood up and said something snarky. Yeah. And then. Like, wow, and all the sandwiches

get made already? Yeah, did this? Yeah, what happened? Sandwiches get made? What in the world? Like this, she just, what's wrong with her? Oh, that's so horrible.

You know, I have my co-pilot a man. She sounded bitter and resent. She sounded resentful, she sounded resentful, bitter, and hateful. She was mad? Like, was she mad? Like, was she mad? because she had a co-pilot with a dude.

Notice the dude pilot didn't say nothing. He wouldn't even out there. He was probably busy doing, you know, all of the pre-flight stuff that they got to do. Don't they have like a whole checklist of stuff they got to do? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Things to do to keep people alive. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. Like how to keep people alive when we're in the air. I mean, he's running through that whole checklist. And meanwhile, Cynthia's out there. Rababababababababab. Rumble, rubble, robble. Like, and then she's talking about our divorce and everything else. Is that what the passenger said?

And when she got to political candidate, too? No. Look, there's certain professions where you take a back seat. Be humble enough. Be humble enough and have a servant's heart and take a back seat. The world isn't owed your political opinions. They're not owed your hot takes. If you're a doctor and you're in somebody's guts, you know, wrist deep, shut up about your politics. Nobody cares. Be a doctor. We need those people more than we need people running their mouths off about politics. I'm just saying, we got enough of us, all right? Stick with us.

I'm not going to get ahead of the president or decisions he might or might not make going forward. He was very clear in his call with the prime minister that if we don't see some changes and their policies in Gaza and the way they're prosecuting operations, we're going to have to make some changes of our own.

You do think these are Israeli policies then to block eight? They have, they have, they get to decide how they prosecute this war. It's their operation. We just talked about them pulling troops out and what that means. They get to decide how they prosecute operations. We get to decide how we're going to react to that and how we're going to administer our own policy with respect to Gaza. We make those decisions.

And the president was clear with the prime minister. If there's not changes, if things don't get better, then we're going to have to make changes of our own. So what do you mean like if things don't get better? Like what things are you talking about? What do you mean if what gets better? John Kirby, I'm curious. Welcome back to the program. Dan Alasher with you.

Top of the second hour. Oh, I know. We're in the midst of Eclipse mania. We'll talk about it. Apparently, a partial eclipse is now visible in Mexico. Anyway. Kane's laughing at me. Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coast.

find us on channel 347 direct TV. We're all over the Webernets on X as well. The requirements? What are their requirements? I don't quite understand. Apparently there were some movement towards Rafa, but that was kind of like the latest. But I'm trying to, what are the, what are their requirements?

I saw the survey that almost half of British Muslims support Hamas. Do you guys see this? I told you they were very, very popular. Hamas is super popular. There was a survey that was done in Britain, and 46% according to the telegraph of British Muslims said they sympathize with Hamas, not even support Hamas. This goes like above and beyond. Like they are sympathetic to them. It's the largest of its kind carried out since the conflict began.

There was a very, there was a smaller one that was done. Justin Gaza by a Gaza, aka Hamas entity. There was another one done in December of last year, still after October 7th, that was done by an independent, it was an independent firm, a survey. They were actually surveying people in Gaza. I don't know how you survey people in a, you know, a war zone, but okay. And now this one. They said a third of British Muslims, 32% went to see Sharia law, Islamic jurisprudence implemented in the UK. this is all post

October 7th. That's crazy. And only one and four of British Muslims believed that Hamas committed rape and murder in Israel. The majority actually think that it's just made up and that Israel deserved it.

This is wild to read this. But it kind of answers your question as to how do you have this viewpoint internationally of Hamas and how is it I mean this is this is how is how is it how are people thinking like this well that's you know they've been sold it's all been propaganda

we talked about this so we have Kirby saying giving a very vague statement well you know unless some things change but they you know they don't exactly say what needs to change they don't exactly get into that and then you have this Jamal Bowman he's the guy who pulled the fire alarm remember and tried to disrupt

House proceedings. Audio soundbite 6. He's talking about the, remember we had the problem with Democrats in Michigan with Gaza. Now he's talking about the problem that Gaza is creating for Muslim voters in Wisconsin. Listen. Yes, because we've always had a problem engaging voters of color, young people in certain demographics. It's going to be harder now because of how we respond, we have pretty much not responded very well. So what's happening in Gaza, because they're sold lies. It's just wild. Just wild to see this. I encounter it on social media with stuff that I post. I actually had to delete a couple. I never delete comments on Instagram. I actually had to delete a couple of comments on Instagram because they were pretty Hamasi where people were saying, well, yeah, you know, this was in response to what the, you know, what Israel's done? October 7th, really, putting grenades in women's copulatory organs. That's a, that's a justifiable response to what? Hamasa, the colonizers. Realize that that Israel gave that strip over two colonizers. It's being colonized. That's the actual occupation. Hamas occupies it. That's the truth of it. But this is is wild to see everyone

fold like this. And even Nancy Pelosi in pulling this up. So you have Pelosi who's sending a letter as well, along with a number of other House members, demanding that. Biden stopped selling weapons to Israel. They went to halt all arms transfers to Israel. Now, you tell me, why is it that the world believes that Israel targeted seven aid workers in Gaza on purpose, but that Hamas didn't on purpose target over 1,600 innocent people on October 7th? That's the question. So now, Nancy Pelosi is demanding that, Biden halt arm transfers. They don't want a new arms package for Israel.

They think that anything remotely similar to it should be withheld. They said that Israel should mitigate harm to innocent civilians in Gaza, including aid workers. Kane, you're right over there? So we're cutting off weapons to an ally in a time of certainly this is war. This is siding with Hamas. Yeah, there's no doubt. there's no other way to put it. This is siding with Hamas, the terror entity,

that somehow Democrats, a significant number of Democrats here in the United States, are sympathizing with. And they keep saying that Israel has done this great wrong. What great wrong do they do? No one's ever actually been able to articulate that. I asked people that that were the Hamasi people in my Instagram comments. I will literally bounce you. Like you are not, these types of people need to realize that they,

they do not deserve my attention, nor are they owed it. And these people are irrelevant to me. I will bounce your ass right out. These, the way that I, and actually they were going after some of you all, some of my other commenters on Instagram in a pretty nasty way, and I had to delete some of them. And if they keep doing it, I'm going to have to actually put a filter on some of the words used. But they've never been able to actually articulate what.

the big bad that Israel's done. Literally, the only thing that they've ever been able to say is that Israel's Jewish and that's it. It's the wildest thing. They've never been able to say, well, what is it that they did that you think necessitated that response? Because they're like defending it.

It gets worse. Wait a minute. We will. Listen to this. This is Audio Soundbite 4. This is in... Where do you think this is, Kim? This would have to be like in Iran. Yeah, let's go ahead and play it. Let's go ahead and play it first. chance of death to America have erupt in the streets of this town.

Watch. We've been asked in the past, why are our protests on the International Day of Quds? Why are they so anti-America? Why don't we just focus more on Israel and not talk so much about America? Gaza has shown the entire world why these protests are so anti-America. Because it's the United States government that provides the first. funds for all of the atrocities that we just heard about. And this is why Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Day of Quds, this is why he would say to pour all of your chance and all of your

shouts upon the head of America. Wow. Chance of death to America. That was in Dearborn, Michigan. Michigan? USA. Michigan. See, Biden is willing to sacrifice the only ally that we have in the Middle East to make those people happy so he can get their votes. The people that were screaming death to America, Biden wants their votes very badly. And so he's going to sacrifice Israel so he can make those people happy. The people screaming death to America. This is why I can never be an elected office. Because I respect the Constitution too much to serve an elected office.

Because my reaction would have been to round them up on the streets. like the country that they so admire and show them what tyranny really, really means behind closed doors in a brutal fashion. That's what I would do. That's me. That's why I can't be an elected office because I freely admit I'll be like Gladriel with the one ring.

The streets of Dearborn, Michigan filled with the chance of death to America. Yeah. So, Democrats, you know, Pelosi out there wanting, you know, the stop the arms to Israel, this do when let's say China and Taiwan get all squarely. Does this now prove? Oh, they've already

been the knee. They've already said, oh, Taiwan doesn't deserve to be recognized as its own sovereign entity. Yeah, so they won't stand with Taiwan there either. They've already made that clear. What are, on the international stage, who are we standing with exactly? That's a question maybe for Yates. Yeah. Because I actually don't have an answer for you. I actually don't know. I really don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know who. Who it would, who it is. That's kind of wild. But that's that's that's that's the reality of it. And that's what the that's what Democrats are pushing forward. They're wanting to make, they want to make those voters happy. Those are the voters that that they're looking to make happy. Now speaking of voters and going into 2024, as I said earlier, we played some of the,

this, the former president, the RNC nominee now, Trump came out and said that he supports the, he was happy that Roe v. Wade was undone. He supports states rights. He came out in favor of IVF and said that this abortion is an issue that should be left up to the states. Now, two issues, I think that his position strategically is the correct one. And I'm going to explain that. However, I don't like the fact that he said abortion rights in his statement. Don't use the language of the left to denounce the left. Number one. Number two, I do think that primary Trump is at odds with general Trump because you can't go hard in the primary and go after all these governors for doing within their state what you're now saying that you support. So that creates a problem because it

gave the impression. And I don't think that he ever actually changed his position on this, but his hardcore opposition to Florida's pro-life law that passed through their, legislature, that his hardcore opposition and criticism of that and his criticism of what Georgia did definitely sold the optic that he was against state's rights on this. Absolutely. And he was a lot quieter about where he stood with it being in support of states rights than he was the, so that's created a problem for him, or at least for the people who are trying to figure out where he stands most sincerely on the issue. I think what his statement, though, what he is projecting strategically is correct. And the reason I say that is because pro-life issues have been taking a beating at the

ballot box and pro-life groups, as united as they are, sometimes they seem so fractured. Because you have the Susan B. Anthony group, which they do great work, but they go out there and they say it's all or nothing. Well, that's your guarantee to lose if you don't look at it, I think, as an incremental fight. And I don't think that it's fair to impugn someone else's character or question their commitment to pro-life causes because they're looking at an incremental strategy as opposed to an all-or-nothing strategy. I find that incredibly disingenuous, and I feel like particularly for people of faith, it betrays the faith that you claim and the God that you claim to serve. So don't cast dispersions on the characters of others simply because they favor an incremental

over an all-or-nothing approach because they want to have lasting wins. That being said, and we're going to talk more about this. We've got Yates coming up as well. But, this going state by state, I think makes it harder for Democrats. Democrats want this to be abortion to be a national issue. That's why they had Kamala Harris going into the abortion clinic and all this stuff. They wanted to be a national issue so bad. And I think Trump robbed that from them. Regardless of where you stand on him as a candidate, I think this was a strategically correct move to make. And it's a legally safe one because it's a lot harder to go at abortion state by state than it is federally. We're going to talk more about that aspect.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So I didn't know this was a thing, but apparently insurers are spying on your home from the sky. Companies have started using drones to check out your roof or to spot yard debris or even an undeclared trampoline. And the Wall Street Journal has stories, yeah, of these people who have been dropped by their home insurance. And they were told, oh, it had to do with some aerial photos of your roof like this one called. and their insurer refused to let them see. I just feel like if there's a drone over my house,

I shootie down, right? Like you're in my airspace, and I'm territorial. Like, I am North Korea. I will shoot it down. If I see it in my airspace, done. I want an eagle trained to take them down. Have you seen those?

I don't think you can own an eagle, or if you can't, you get like a falconer license. It's still what I want, though. I just sidebar would love to add that on to, like, my business card. I have like business cards that say my name and then that's it. And I really don't give them out. But I would like to put like, you know, radio host and also Falconer. Right?

Just right? Just sounds like a very noble position to have. Just saying. Let's see. Gas prices have gone ballistic in California. Oh my gosh. This is so true. So guess what?

They're at 527 per gallon. That's what they were on Friday. That's the average. About six bucks a gallon. That's crazy. That's like twice what we're paying. That's insane. Oh, my heavens.

Apparently, our sense of smell can help wipe out depression and dementia. They're using scents to treat for mental health issues. I feel like that's subjective per person, though, I think. Apparently, let's see, it's national beer day. Really? What kind of beer? beer? We don't know. Stephen Yates joins us next. We've got lots of questions for him. Stay with us.

Not a single member of Netanyahu's government attended that. And the reason why is because all along the families have been shunned, ignored, sidelined, disrespected. Netanyahu hasn't wanted a hostage deal.

There's been many occasions where he could have had a deal, but he hasn't wanted one because that would bring. So this is some guy named Ed Luce, who's some Dili Barhead who writes for financial times. Somebody, we just were using him for a sound by jumping off purpose. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, bottom of the second hour. He's saying that Nettanyahu never wanted a hostage deal because he's rejected previous offers. You mean the ones where they were saying, we demand that you release 400 terrorists that are imprisoned in exchange for maybe some of the hostages, none of which include the babies that we kidnapped. That doesn't seem like a genuine offer to me. And so I get the

rejection. I also understand, though, the criticism that that his administration has slow walked, response, particularly to clearing out some of the battalions of terrorists and Rafa. I get it. But at the same time, why are they listening to anybody else, especially a country, us, the United States that took 20 years to reinstall the Taliban? And then we also got a bunch of people killed and then droned 10 people to death. We're going to turn around to lecture them because they're taking a few months to route out a terrorist group. Come on. Joining us now on this. And then we're going to be pivoting to China, our good friend Stephen Yates. And you can find him at Yates. comms on X, senior fellow at the America First Policy Institute and chair of the China Policy Initiative.

So, Stephen, always good to see you, this Eclipse Mania Monday. This, I really reject that framing, that the left keeps putting up, that it's Israel that's rejected any kind of offer of hostage release or any kind of agreement because that's not a serious offer coming from Hamas. Release all these terrorists and maybe we'll give you some of the hostages back. Yeah, well, you know, there is an internationalized form of Trump derangement syndrome, and it basically is if your dominant frame is you really hate a particular political leader. And no matter what, anything he says or does is not enough. It's not good. It's inherently evil. A lot of these people that are covering this think that about Benjamin Netanyahu.

And they might have chapter and verse that explains why they've arrived at this August conclusion. But I don't know how any reasonable person can look at Hamas, an internationally recognized terrorist organization, murdering, killing, raping, all the things we know they did. It's on video and people need to refresh their memories of what this actually was, has kept hostages to this date. And whether Netanyahu would or wouldn't make a deal, our president of the United States doesn't even mention the names. of the remaining American hostages.

I mean, back in the late 1970s, into the 1980 election cycle, we had a news media that put some fire on the Carter administration by giving a calendar of days of how many days our hostages had been held by the Iranians. Why isn't there a similar daily reminder that these poor souls remain unaccounted for by our president? And until that's taking care of, what is this deal making we're talking of? And if there are innocent civilians that are getting hurt, I feel badly for them, but I did not allow terrorists to take root in my neighborhood, to dig tunnels under my hospitals, schools, and other important infrastructure. And so I think Americans are pretty frustrated by all of this manipulation and misinformation. nation. And really, we got hit. Israel wasn't the only one getting hit. And shouldn't we want to

eliminate the terrorist organization that did it within every reasonable means available to us? I think that's a great point. I mean, and with this, also Nancy Pelosi now with a number of other Democrats sending a letter saying, no, we don't agree to the, to the arms package, no more arms packages for Israel essentially cutting them off for being able to obtain new weapons. That's a pretty big deal to the only ally that we have in that area. And that's like one of, this is one of three insane things that the administration has done just within the past week. Your quick thought on that. Well, number one, I don't know how we're going to have any allies in the world if we continue to treat allies like this. I was lectured to incessantly about the value of alliances and the

need to unequivocally and without any limits support Ukraine, actually not a treaty ally of the United States against Russia because it would send a signal to Taiwan and China. that the US will stand by its allies. Well, here's an example of a treaty ally being attacked by a terrorist organization, and now the United States is threatening not to provide material support to that ally in a time of war and crisis. How would that reassure Japan, Taiwan, or anyone in the South China Sea that the United States big galaxy brains from the Ivy Leagues aren't going to come up with some condition for them to have a preemptive retreat in the face of PRC aggression?

This is actually kind of nonsensical and toxic. They've left their minds behind, and it's only driven by politics, either the electoral college politics or the ideology of they just hate Netanyahu so much, almost as much as they hate Trump. And so this has to be bad. That's a good point. Talking with our friend Stephen Yage, you can find him on X at Yatescoms. The signal sending to allies, you mentioned Taiwan.

Well, then, of course, this was one of the three in the hat trick that the administration pulled last week. you had John Kirby go out and say that they don't, the United States doesn't recognize Taiwan's independence, doesn't recognize it. Is it that seems, is that a significant about face on that, the whole approach that we had, the vague policy that we had towards Taiwan previously? Well, sadly, it isn't really a change of policy. We've had a lot of do-brained leaders spout this kind of policy for a very long time. It's one way to make a communist very, very happy to see you willfully say something you know is not true because you're afraid they're going to do

something bad. That basically is an admission of dominance over you. And that's what that policy is. The People's Republic of China has never controlled Taiwan, period, since the founding of the Communist Party of China through the Civil War. And to this day, they have not. never controlled Taiwan. And so when people talk about the status quo, the status quo is a Taiwan that lives independent of the People's Republic of China. And so I don't know why Kirby or anyone else

has to dance around this. The status quo is independence. China wants to make Taiwan completely dependent on the People's Republic. That's what all of this is about. And since when do you sell arms to someone that is not independent of the threat they're trying to fight. I mean, it just doesn't, it just doesn't add up at a basic level.

I'm just of the view that we're not pushing this. It's the CCP that's pushing all this stuff. And if we aim to resist it, we should strengthen the resistors without our having to commit what we would do one way or the other. That seems to be too complex for a lot of these galaxy brains, but it's where we got to go. Yeah, that's the, because I've never heard an administration actually say that before. And I know we've talked about this, really under Democrat and Republican, public and administrations, they've always had that strategic ambiguity where they've never said it. I know, I think I think it was Trump that got in trouble. Didn't he call their leader after they had an election and then there was some drawing? Their leader called to congratulate him on getting elected.

What a what a profound and destabilizing behavior. Oh, exactly. Just so shocking. But he never actually said. He never went out and said, oh, we recognize their independence. He did call and congratulate, you know, the leader. I'm winning, you know, the latest election. This, Kirby's saying we don't recognize their independence. My first thought. And this is as conspiracy theorists as I get. My first thought was, okay, what spooked them? Why this, why the need for that? Well, there are a lot of things that spook them that don't necessarily spook the normals of our society.

Number one, they actually believe the climate crisis is an existential threat and that we're all doomed unless we get cooperation from China. And unless we get a whole bunch of stuff imported from China and somehow working with the world's largest, most prolific polluter is going to save the planet. I can't square that. But for them, that's a massive, massive priority. And so they don't want to unnerve that channel of dialogue. They also just had Secretary Yellen go and she's going to talk about how to manage the economic relationship. I'm of the view. I don't know that you can have a normal economic relationship with a country that poisons you with COVID and fentanyl, steals everything from semiconductors to a car gigapress and is involved in undermining the war you said was righteous in helping defend Ukraine.

They're deeply embedded in helping Russia against Ukraine. So I don't see where they go with this, but that's what they're doing. They're repeating the mantras of the past to try to keep the program of the past going uninterrupted. But Xi Jinping is interrupting that. Yeah. And you mentioned Gene E. Ellen. Can we play audio somebody too really quickly? this was her talking about this. Everyone's using Gwyneth Paltrow's words, decoupling from China. Listen to this. During conversations this week, I underscored again that the United States does not seek

to decouple from China. Our two economies are deeply integrated and a wholesale separation would be disastrous for both of our economy. To cut into her. It seems like, Stephen, that there is so much effort being. made these past several days to make assurances to China for some reason. And I just like, what am I missing? Like what happened? Like why all of a sudden this huge need to pat them on the back and do the handholding and act like, no, no, no, we still support all the stuff that you're doing? I mean, we sit here and we lecture about human rights as it relates to seven AIDS workers

over the 1600 that were killed by Hamas, but we say nothing about the, the imprisonment going on in northwestern China? What in the world? We're the political prisoners in Hong Kong, the threats of Taiwan, all this other stuff. And by the way, she said nothing really about the American platforms that are denied access to China. China's the one that's been into the decoupling thing. I don't ever remember signing on to a marriage must less going steady with the Communist Party of China. So to me, I mean, decoupling might not match because I never thought we were a couple. But I think that we should be becoming less dependent.

She tried to say as much that we don't want to be too dependent on them, and they're trying to take over the market. I think that's probably the most truth she spoke in the entire exchange. But nothing she's saying or doing is making us less dependent or helping us take more control over the markets that we should be doing, not by manipulation, but by competing. We need to unleash American energy. We need to deregulate our economy. We need to do a better job of presenting better options to Americans and our allies. And if we do those things, we can contain the malign influences the CCP and we can have sort of a dough, I, dear, go to China and say, oh, we just want to get along.

But until we do those things, this is kind of double danger. She's giving them the pablum of the past and not really changing any policy to make us less dependent and less at risk. So decoupling is the word they want to hit. you know, maybe it's not the right word, but they're definitely not minimizing or lessening our risk. And that supposedly was their genius alternative de-risking. Last quick question talking with our friend Stephen Yates, since everything happened after you were on last week, all of the flood of this, your foreign policy, Ukraine and NATO, you, you

had Blinkin go out and say, well, yeah, Ukraine will be a member of NATO. They didn't give a timeline for it. Why? Why? Why? in the world? Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know. I was kind of surprised by that. Might be the only one that was surprised, but I was kind of surprised by that. I also thought since the grown-ups were back,

we would consult with our allies. I don't think every NATO member had been consulted about this declaration by the United States. That was what I thought used to be called unilateralism. And by the way, it has been an openly discussed red line for Russia from the beginning of this escalation. And I don't believe in kind of giving in to an adversary's red lines, but you do need to be deliberate about if we're going to cross it,

am I really prepared to belly up for the risk and the response? And I don't think that the American people feel like that. And frankly, I'd be surprised that the rest of Europe had already bought into that idea. So I thought it was an outlier. It was surprising and basically pretty hypocritical given the general foreign policy lectures we've been served for the last three years. Yeah, completely. agrees. Stephen Yates at Yates Com's. Always a pleasure, my friend. Happy Eclipse Mania Monday. I'm not

really excited about it. It's like a celestial event. I feel like, you know, I'm the odd man out because I'm like, it's okay. It's, you know, the moon going in front of the sun. Woo! I don't know. Yeah. I'm for the light. See, there you go. There you go. We're killed toys together. Stephen Yates at Yates Combs. Always a pleasure, my friend. Thank you. Good to see you. Have a great week. Thank you, Dana. Take care. We have more to come, folks, as we roll towards the conclusion of the second hour. course, you know, the eclipse apparently is common, guys, it's common. That's what they're saying anyway. I'm watching. Apparently there's like live streams galore as we move our partners over a black rifle coffee. I'm actually having some right now. I'm having a rare second cup today. I think it's

because of the eclipse. I don't know. Hi, I'm Margaret, a rhetoric and media major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President Dr. Larry Arne with a Constitution Minute. Many argue today that the Constitution is outdated because it addresses problems peculiar to the 18th century so long ago. And some of it does read sort of quaintly. But consider the injunction against titles of nobility in Article 1, Section 9, for example. Is that so outdated? The purpose of that injunction is to prevent the government granting special privileges for partisan reasons. This strikes at the rule of law, the rule under which were all to be treated the same.

The Coney capitalism is so common today, where the government gives favors and tax dollars to some businesses and advantages over others is exactly the kind of thing the Constitution was meant to prohibit. The Constitution is not outdated at all. To learn more and get a free pocket constitution, visit constitutionminit.com. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. So I got a million questions about this headline, because this is a very convoluted headline. It says Florida man exposes himself while woman was exercising in wildlife preserve.

There's a lot of stuff happening here. So you got a lady in a wildlife preserve and a dude who goes all out. Let's just put it like that. The incident took place at a preserved partner Fort Pierce. The sheriff said the witness detained the suspect until deputies arrived. And he was captured on video exposing himself in front of a woman doing yoga. and that's the suspect was taken into custody he's since been released why do they have to just say it was in a wildlife preserve and and you're doing yoga in a wildlife do you specifically go to the wildlife preserve to do the yoga like that's like very specific and bougie sounding just saying i don't i didn't expect a sight of bougie with my florida man headline today but okay so yeah there you go this um a couple of others a A Florida man, this one, can you know, this, oh gosh, gosh, gosh, gosh, gosh, no.

A Florida woman tries to sell a toddler. This is horrible. Putnam County woman was arrested two days later. She tried to sell her 18-month-old. And when the, when the, she was trying to sell it to this employee of this business. And when the employee said, no, you're nuts. 33-year-old Jessica Woods just walked away, left the kid. She was charged with six felonies, child neglect, child abuse, aggravated child abuse, selling a minor for money, and abandoning a child also.

It was at an H&R block. She was trying to sell the kid at an H&R block. That's horrific. And I feel like maybe she shouldn't have that baby now. That's terrifying. And a woman literally named Karen decided to have a huge tantrum in the middle of the road in Coconut Creek. I'll save this one for you tomorrow because it is a doozy. Eclipse mania is coming up.

Tell them that Dana sent you. I don't believe that I'm a woman. I am a woman. Even my birth certificate has been changed to Jessica Alves, born a female. I was born in Brazil, so I do have a Brazilian passport, but also I have a British passport. And my both passports also stated, Jessica Alves, female. And I am a woman in my mind, in my soul, in my appearance, in my body, in the touch of my skin. When I wake up in the morning, I look myself in the mirror to brush my teeth like everybody,

I see the image of a woman. And I never felt like a man. Therefore, I am a woman, the emotions, the feelings inside. So it's very sad to read the headlines lately about Jake King Rowling. Someone that I have read her books growing up. someone that I have always look up to as a book writer making remarks about transgender people that are so wrong. She doesn't understand anything about she's talking about. What?

This is a dude. You're a dude. She's not a trained. Or a robot. I mean, that whole face is plastic. What is that dude doing? Oh, my gosh. Welcome back to the show.

Dana Lash with you. Yeah, that was a straight up person. It is a, I hate these titles. It's a social media influencer. Who says that J.K. Rowling shouldn't be allowed to critique transgender people because she is a book author and not a doctor. Okay, you're a dude and not a chick, so you don't get to talk about chick stuff. See how that works?

Tadda. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. And we're at the top of this third hour. Yeah, there's Eclipse. mania. I got the glass. Well, I didn't get these. My husband got these. And I thought, oh my gosh, these cheapy little goofy glasses. Well, they actually do kind of work. I went out there and I took a photo through the lens of it because you can't see through it. You can't see through these otherwise.

They're pitch black. And then if you look at the sun, then you can kind of see it. And that's why Kane's like, why are you shaking your head? I actually think the glasses are cooler. And? Yeah, no, it's good. Okay. I was actually good. My son had got a bunch of them. He wanted me to bring him into you today. And I left him at home like an idiot. But I'm glad did you have them here.

Yeah, I was. You can't see it. Throw them at all. I'm not for eye damage or anything. I did look at it for a second without the glasses. Yeah, we went blind. I still see a little dot. Yeah.

Little dot. They said don't use like regular glasses to. Yeah. They'll magnify it, won't it? Wouldn't it? Yeah, you'll have an eye souffle. You'll bake your flipping eyeball in your skull. Why would you do that? Don't do that.

I read this thing. We're going to talk more about the transgender stuff, but we've got to get the eclipse mania out of the way. All these people are coming out with things to not do. Hang on, where is this at? Yeah, so three things to not do with the solar eclipse. Like don't stare directly at the sun like a moron. Although, I mean, when it's dark out, can't you just look up? You know, it's darker out. You'll see the corona. You're not going to fry your eye when it gets brighter out. Maybe you don't look at it. We kind of have partial cloud cover right now in Texas. So it's starting and you can kind of see it through the clouds. But if another big old cloud rolls through, you won't be able to see it. So yeah, they're like, don't look directly at the sun.

It's supposed to start at 27 afters when we have totality. So right when we're on break, apparently, we'll have totality. And they said that, oh, you have to use a, yeah, you have to, use a special filter for your camera, whatever. They said, apparently also, don't drive if it's going to be a big, if it's going to be a significant distraction to you. They said during the 2017 solar eclipse,

fatal road crashes jumped by around 30% in the US. Good grief. It's kind of scary. Because people have everybody's looking up with the sky. They don't look out and look around. I'm just waiting for the aliens. I'm just waiting for the aliens. Or I'm waiting for like the dark circle to get,

because then that means it's smod, right? Just saying. So just, you know, just saying. So that's happening. And apparently, so it already, they already had the totality or whatever, the total covering in Mexico, I guess. So if you're seeing like some of the live shots of it, they apparently in Mexico, it's full, fully covered. It's only a third covered in Texas so far. but it's probably half now and then it'll be fully over at 27 after in here in Texas.

So, yeah, we'll see. We'll see how it goes. Juan does not care. Juan is in the same boat. I just think the glasses are cool. I was totally uninterested until Chris gave me these. And I'm like, okay, this is stupid. And then it's totally pitch black.

And then when you look through it at the sun, you can see it. And I thought that was kind of neat. There's some magical trickery. And we're about 30 minutes away from seeing it in its total. 27. 27. Well. Actually less than.

Where we are, I think it's closer to what I said. I think you're a lot full of lies. But either way, are you going to go outside at that time? Maybe. I'm going to go peek at break and see and see if it's worth my time to go out there. I mean, if it's not like fully, if I can't fully see it, I'm not going to stand out there and look at the clouds. It's dumb. I just am not into it as much as everybody else is.

Right? Right. I'm just, I don't know. I'm just not. Is that bad that I am? I don't know. Am I not a team player? I think there's a lot of people in your camp as well.

Like I'm, I'm in the camp. I feel like it's bread and circuses. I'm in the camp of sitting on the sidelines, kind of see what's happening, seeing all the theories online and all the potential predictions from this eclipse. I'm taking it all in. I'm just taking it all in.

I'm just waiting for aliens or like animals to talk or something to happen. that's you know I I don't know what what to expect out of it but yeah that's just kind of how NASA's got there one has the look at the NASA live stream is weird to me because they see little triangles on the side of it I'm not going to lie that's weird isn't that weird that's a weird thing I don't know I'm just are you guys all interested in this are you guys all interested in the is it like how many people are going to go out like the people who have the glasses and are like, yes! Maybe not to the level of you booked a flight to be up in the air or you have an

Airbnb, but... I mean, solar eclipses don't happen every day, obviously. So yeah, there are going to be some people that are going to pay attention to something that happens every few years. Can you imagine being like way back and... Like, before we had technology and we were building pyramids and all that still. And something like this happens. It's dark during the day.

You'd freak out. you. I think that the fact that so many people get this excited about it, to me, shows that we all still, humanity still has a little caveman on them. I just, does that sound mean to say? I,

or maybe I am so cynical that the wonders of the world sadly cease to just amaze me anymore. Or maybe it's that. It could be one of two things. See? I feel like

Jules from Pulp Fiction right now talking to Ringo. Or maybe, I am the tyranny of evil men. Just saying. Try it real hard, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd. I don't know. I just don't know. Is the, I don't know. So yeah, what is it? Mascelain, Mexico. The first sighting of it, I guess. And now they said that it only disappeared. behind the moon though for seconds. I thought it lasts four minutes. It doesn't last four minutes? It's seconds?

No, less minutes. Four minutes and 40 seconds. I read that the moon has made the sun disappear for a matter of seconds. I thought it was supposed to be four minutes. I don't know. I don't know. We'll see.

But there should be aliens or something. Just saying. All right. So we'll keep you updated. I mean, if you want to go out and look at it, you know, you guys, I'm not the boss of you. You guys make your own decisions. but yeah the cloud cover isn't as bad as I thought it would be here in Texas.

All right. So as this all is going down, as this all has been happening, we've been discussing a number of things. Can we also talk about, we started coming in with the transgender stuff. I have to share this piece from the telegraph because it is probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen and I don't know how to handle it. theater goers are given trigger warnings over the sound of people eating oranges. Now, sound of people eating oranges, just the sound of it. Customers were told that performance may not be suitable if you have citrus allergies. This is in London.

It is this stage production. It's a musical, which I immediately would not go to because it's a musical. But they said that they gave a trigger warning to people who purchased tickets and are going to see these performances that people, there's the sound of people eating on stage. I guess that they're eating food on stage. And they said that could be a trigger warning. Can someone explain this to me? Anybody. You're seeing this.

I share this link with you, Kane. You're seeing it. What am I missing? I don't know what the trigger would be, though. Like, is there, okay, how different is it, let's say, it sounds like eating an orange as it does to eat like a banana? They said that people that have, and I'm not going to pronounce this correctly, misophonia. Miso? Misophonia.

Okay, that makes sense. Oh, man, I've taken everything I have not to make a joke. You know what I was thinking of, don't you? Yes, I do. their health ministry, the NHS over there, described misophonia as, quote, an extreme emotional reaction to certain everyday sounds that most people would find relatively easy to ignore. Okay. So if the characters are in a scene where they're like at a meal and they are mimicking eating for the performance and they're, making sounds that would accompany the act of eating for this performance that would trigger people.

Is everything a trigger now? But it does go farther. And I don't know if you saw that or not. The customers were also told that the performance may not be suitable for those with citrus allergies. So not just... Because apparently there's like an orange in there somewhere. So if you heard somebody eat an orange. On a microphone, you could have an allergic reaction.

I don't understand. I tried looking up what the performance was about, and it was such a word salad of woke BS that I couldn't even understand what it was. Like literally, this is literally how they're describing it. Are you ready? Quote, defiantly challenging homophobia and transphobia across our communities out is a duet, A conversation between two bodies bravely carves out a new kind of spas, reclaiming dancehall and celebrating queerness amongst the bittersweet scent of oranges. I am not making it up.

That's literally how it is described. Oh, help me. I think if you're gay, you don't even know what's going on in this. That's like, that doesn't tell you anything. So all I know is it has to do with dance hall, queer, and oranges. right reclaiming dance hall and celebrating queerness

amongst the bittersweet scent of oranges that's literally what this is that's what they say here verbatim I don't know what this thing is about like I don't know what rent was about except it was and I've said this for 15 years like it was about AIDS and jazz hands I don't know what this is about

oranges and dance hall and it doesn't what we have more on the way Believe it or not, it's eclipse mania. Trigger warning. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Well, here's a very happy uplifting headline. Our solar system could eventually die by being ground into dust as it's pulled into the sun. Well, that's what they've been saying for years now. When our host star, the sun runs out of fuel, it'll become a white dwarf, exerting a huge gravitational pull that'll suck our system into where it'll be crushed. Say astrophysicist. Yes.

Is it immediate? Probably. We'll be swallowed up by a white dwarf. When's that movie coming out? Like the horror movie, White Dwarf, like a space movie. Why isn't even done it yet? Also, this customer shot a Chipotle worker

over a guacamole dispute in... Oh, goodness. This was in Michigan. I mean, I love guacamole a lot, but like that? That seems to be... I mean, yeah. So they said that the took place about 6.50 p.m.

21-year-old man's a victim. Apparently, yeah, the guy, the 31-year-old Detroit man was mad over Guacamole. They were arguing, and then he just shot the worker in the back, which is horrific. Clearly, he was arrested. But, yeah, guacamole dispute over all the things. See, this is just one of the reasons. It's just the effect of the eclipse mania, guys, and just saying. New York, NYPD, rolled out a barn or.

windshield boot that forces violators to pay another reason why you don't want big government. So they're using what they call windshield boots as a 17 pound device that attaches to your windshield like a barnacle and it remains there until you pay your ticket. And it's called the barnacle device. It's a commercial grade suction cup that attaches to glass with a thousand pounds of force so it's impossible to move. And they put it over the driver's side of the car, which is why you should always start driving like British made cars and just drive on the right side of the road, but on the left side

the car. I'm kidding. Not really. But that's, yeah, they said the barnacle device is part of their pilot program. How much did they pay for these devices? They're like $250 a month to operate and they have to lease each of them. Usually it's for like illegally parked trucks. So, all right, coming up. It's Eclipse Mania. Apparently we're in full totality right now.

We'll have more coming up. Stick with us. Ready to grow your intellectual RolidX? Download the Dana Show podcast and join the ranks of those who refuse to settle for the same old boring content on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Total Eclipse of the Sunwatch 2017 on Fox News Channel. The excitement must be building and building like fireworks. If I put this here and my phone here, I have a total eclipse of the phone. Fascinating. It's amazing. Oh my God, the moon has gotten in front of the sun. Okay, well, I don't know. interesting looking the sun looks a little like the moon up there in the wall if you mention it you got to sing it where the deer and the ant's a low play wow would you look at that it's a total

eclipse of the sun and you look up they know this is all it's going to be right just a just a moon over a sun's coming back now oh my goodness that didn't last long I'm standing out here I'm standing out here and I'm looking at so it's real dark it's Dana lash here welcome back to the program everybody we're at the bottom of the third hour hour. So I'm standing out here. It's dark. The birds are kind of going nutty. I mean, my first question to Kane was, when can I go back in? Because it just seems like, I don't know. Like it's just, I mean, I'm out here looking at it. You do have your protective eye. You have your protective eyewear, correct? Yeah. Yes. I mean, because I, you know, I'm wearing it just because I can't see it otherwise. Because the people watching the cloud cover makes it. The people watching on direct TV through the first, on the left side, they're seeing your phone. looking directly at the sun, right, at the eclipse. I can try to put my, what I'm going to, I can try to put my camera, my actual, like,

my little goofy glasses in front of it and see how that works. Let's see if. Kind of does. So it doesn't do anything. It kind of does. It kind of does. Yeah, keep it that way. That's fine.

That works. I mean, it's, you can kind of see like a sliver. We don't have a full. Yeah, it's like 90. 95% Yeah, go ahead and put the, there's the filter. So they're putting the glasses.

We're putting the glasses over it. You can tell there's like 90% coverage right now, so we're literally almost there to total eclipse. So you're wanting me to stay out here until we get full totality. Is that the deal? Right. I don't want you looking directly.

Is that how we're doing it for the people? I don't want you looking at it. I'm doing this for the people. You are. You'd sacrifice a lot of people. Yes, I'm doing this for all of our. Yeah, I'm going out here and I'm sacrificing all of this for people. Yes, do not look directly at it.

But I just wanted to see, like, they were showing on television, it went over, was it Eagle Pass, Texas one, where it was like nighttime, literal nighttime. So what you're showing is there's still some light there. It looks like partial daytime, like dusk maybe to you right now? It looks like a weird dusk. But what's creepy is the birds won't shut up. They're like, they're going nuts. The birds are like, I don't know if it has to do with this or what, but they're freaking out. Imagine if we catch.

But everything else is normal. Apparently NASA is launching some sounding rockets into the moon's shadow during this eclipse right now. I wonder if we can. Oh, I'm sure that's going to work out well. Yeah, that seems like exactly what you would do, like the kickoff the apocalypse. I'm just saying, you know. The CERN Collider also what is online today as well, wanting to collide. I think these are starlings that I'm seeing.

Yeah? I'm more interested in the animal's activity. But the light is weird. The light's like, imagine you walk outside and there's a weird Instagram filter. Right. On everything outside. I'm in, I'm living in an Instagram filter right now. That is a good way to describe it.

And it's weird and I don't like it. It's, yeah, the birds are all flying in circles and we're in an Instagram filter. And I think they're starlings. I think those are starlings. Like they come out at dusk and I think that they're like, what is happening? So apparently right now, this is. It's going on 139 central, right? 139 central time.

At 140, at 140 is when Texas, or at least this part of where we are, Texas, is supposed to experience the total eclipse. In other words, total darkness. That's the part I wanted you to say for, is just to be there just so it gets completely dark. And then once it gets completely dark. Yeah, it's supposed to be. Okay. So we almost have, we have a little sliver of the sun.

left. I will say the temperature, it's gotten a lot cooler up here. Like this is kind of a warmer spring day in Texas. It's, you know, it's like what, 80, maybe 81 degrees. It's dropped by two degrees already. It's dropped two degrees in just like the span of, you know, less than probably 10 minutes. So we're, and the cloud cover, the clouds have kind of cleared. So we actually do all the people who got the air Airbnb's, they're getting their money's worth. So we're probably what, 30 maybe a minute out, maybe of full totality. I'd say we're really close. I know.

I'd say really close. Now they're saying in the Fort Worth, Dallas Fort Worth area. I got to be real with you. You don't, you don't like you. I really want to adjust the contrast settings on reality right now. It's messed up.

I don't like this. I want to adjust the settings. My first thought was how can I make this brighter? Yeah. I feel like I'm like, the sky looks really great. There's ripples on the ground everywhere. Ripples.

I don't know. This is the weirdest thing ever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. real weird. I'm going to try taking video with a separate phone, another person's phone. I'm going to try taking, you can see like shadow ripples on the concrete. Oh, is it

the actual eclipse, the light of the eclipse coming through? Maybe. Oh, we almost have full totality now. Is it happening? I don't like this. Juan was right to be suspicious. Juan, can I come in with you? This is creepy. I don't like it no more. I don't like this. The birds are yelling

again. This is weird and I don't like it. just not even going to lie. We need to see that total eclipse. We need to see that total. This is so creepy. That like maybe 10% left almost. It's actually dark out here. It's getting dark. Yeah. We got one percent. See, it's getting. And now I don't even need my glasses. And I saw, I just saw, I see stars. Yeah. I'm looking at the one here goes. This is, this is, this is, now it's in total. This is weird. I'm not using my, I'm not using my safety glasses government. I'm not using them anymore. So, so we're looking at the total full eclipse now. I think there it is. And we have full totality, full totality. And I see a star, I think, or a satellite or aliens.

I don't know, one of them. It's dark out. It's like really weird. This is so creepy and I don't like it. Now how long is this going to last? I see, I see a plane. Okay, there's a plane for, of course, those people who booked that flight. They're both smart. I don't know how long it'll last. Do you see any falling stars? And it's weird because when I use, you know, my glasses that are blackout until I look at the sun, they don't, I can't even use my glasses right now. They don't even see it. The glasses don't even see it right now.

Oh, wow. So when you're in full totality and you have the- There's some blinky things flying around up there. What is that? I think one of them is like maybe a, I don't know if one's like a drone or there's a jet up there as well. I don't know. It's so weird.

I see like a little like smoke trail going upwards. towards the eclipse. Like, I don't know. It seems weird. Yeah, it's, that's a jet. Yeah, that's a jet. Oh, that's a jet. And then I feel like there's, I think that, I think one of those is a drone.

And then I think the other actually legit may be a star. I'm not actually sure. It is so creepy. It could be a planet. I hear that there are some planets visible, more visible now during the eclipse than obviously normally would be. So it looks like outside right now. It looks like what you would see right after the sunset.

We just peeked out the studio door. Holy smokes, it's super dark out there. Now, I got a question, you guys staying in the safety and security of the studio and sending me the host outside to get alien down into the sky. So we're in full hotel. I can see how maybe, you know, if you're, you know, this is like in the days of buildings of pyramids and the ziggar rocks and everything else. Yeah, like you'd probably go nuts if this happened in the middle of the day. You'd probably be like, we've got to start sacrificing some people. because this is creepy and crazy.

Like, legit, you would need your headlights out here right now. Yeah, and the winds totally stopped. All the birds got real quiet. They were going nuts. And then they got real quiet. Yeah, the birds like, what? So it's night now? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And they, yeah, they, that's just wild. So now we have, now that we're in total clips. I still keep using my glasses. Now we're moving out of total. Yeah. Now we just went through totality. So now. Oh my gosh.

Okay, so this is what's weird. The light, it's like someone's gradually turning up the screen right now. Yeah. It's a dimmer. This is so crazy. And look at the shadows it's created. Look at the shadows it's creating. Yeah.

It is so crazy how this, I mean, we were, I mean, you guys can see this on my phone. You guys can see this. It was dark and now it's, I still am creeped out. Let's that up one against the NASA feed so that we can see the NASA feed too. Our feed's way much more scientific. Our feed's way more scientific. Oh, no doubt. Okay.

So we just went through totality. Computer generated. I think I'm good now. Can I come back into where the safety is? Yes, come back into the safety of indoors as we watch the live feed here from NASA. The total solar eclipse has just moved over. Texas? I'm going to make my way inside.

Yeah, you do that. Matter of fact, you want to disconnect from Skype? It's creepy. Yeah, I'm going to disconnect and I'm going to come back in. Okay. I'm going to come back in. But yeah, here it is. The live feed from NASA is showing totality.

Now, this, was that Kerrville, Texas that NASA was showing? Now it's Dallas, Texas that they're showing. And you see on the screen the totality of the eclipse. I cannot believe how dark it was outside. So Dana's walking in right now. It was literally nighttime. It looked like nighttime. And you'll have to unmute your mic too, by the way, when you go to sit down.

Oh, I'm in. This is creepy. It was, can I, I still, like, is it, was it worth everybody freaking out over? I don't know. I mean, is that, I just. I don't know if anybody, I mean, there's definitely some people that freaked out about it. I would not get an Airbnb. and be for this?

I don't know. I don't know. Okay, so is it also like the height of self-indulgent humanity for me to be like, um, 8, 10 would kind of recommend? I don't know. Is it, I mean, the thing that was weird, the weirdest to me was how quickly it happened.

Because it got real dark and the birds, the birds watching those, because I'm positive, those were starlings. And aren't they like really active at like dusk? So they were going nuts. and that was that's the only i don't know it was so you had asked me earlier and larry brings this up do what happens now because you know like with that that rat that comes out of the ground if he sees his shadow right so we didn't see our shadow so does that mean apocalypse like what does that mean

six more weeks of spring i don't know what does that mean six more weeks of government here but it was it i can see how like i said people back in you know the way olden days. You know, BC. I can see how probably they'd freak out if that happened in the middle of the day. Yeah. If I'm eating the rabbit I'd just killed. Yeah. And then all of a sudden it gets dark and you're like that. I'll be like, what did I do wrong? I get it. God doesn't want me eating this rabbit. Yeah, this is, I'm not to eat this rabbit. All right, Lord, not eating the rabbit. I get it. Yesterday it was so good. Yeah. I mean, you know, it's, it's just, uh, yeah, it is, it is, uh, it was weird. All right. So Eclipse mania, we just had full totality in Texas.

And, yeah, you know, got dark and now it's not dark anymore. Now it's bright as a day is long again. Now our friends of Missouri are going to be seeing it soon. I can also see why car accidents would go up at that point because it does like the contract, it does get like fuzzy and hazy. And because it's like a weird diffused light, it's not like the light goes away. It's a diffused light, which is weird. And I guess if you have like vision issues already, I don't know.

So everybody be safe out there. Anyway. But yeah, I can't believe people book flights for that. Hundreds of dollars. Probably more than that. I bet they jacked up the prices. I bet the airlines, I bet they cost like double because they,

the airlines thought, oh my gosh, people were going to book it during the eclipse. We can overcharge them. Social media for right now are those videos from airplanes? You all better have excellent footage. Otherwise, we're so judging you. So total totality there. We got.

All right. on the way coming up on the way we still have today in stupidity follow dana on apple spotify or wherever you get your podcasts because knowledge is your ultimate superpower welcome back to the program dana lash here with you and this uh we had uh i put up a photo on instagram i added all the blurry photos i was trying to take a photo out there looking at all of that it was uh very interesting So what does it mean? It means we have 200 and something, 90 more days of this administration until the election. That's what it means.

That's what the Ecliffe means. I can't even. So welcome back. The president's position. And we're going to unpack some of the reaction, not on the left necessarily, but on the right tomorrow. Because he came out talking about his video that he posted this morning, discussing a abortion and the Republican position, et cetera, some interesting division happening on the right over this. We'll talk about some of it because the state's rights versus federal, there is a legal issue

there. But I just want to make sure that all the people that are disagreeing are doing so, realizing that everybody has the same end. Everybody wants to protect life, even if some people have different means to do so. And I'm not speaking for, you know, the president. I'm, I'm saying, speaking for the people who are looking at states' rights and incrementalism as opposed to like an all-or-nothing approach. And we'll get into some of that tomorrow because we had to, I'm dying. Patchops literally made, you see the meeting that Patchops just put out, totally pulled me out. Leave tip, 15, 20%, 25%. And it's superimposed over the eclipse. Oh my gosh. It's hysterical. I love it. I love the, I love the Patchops, folks. So, yeah, there you go.

All right, today in stupidity came. Oh, it's our energy secretary who I didn't vote for, which is really where I didn't really vote. I did not vote for Jennifer Granholm. But these are the things she's talking about. And Juan, this is cut 17. This is why you're seeing the impacts of climate change. These are the things. You know, people will say, oh, my power bill is constantly going up, you know.

What do you say to people here in Georgia who may feel that frustration? You're seeing the impacts really of climate change on people's heating bills, not just in Georgia. Has nothing to do with the fact that you've attacked the energy sector the day. Yeah. I mean, the restriction of energy, the results of those policies contributing to the increase in

energy cost. To say nothing of just like basic inflation separate from that, from the economic side of things. And oh, wow, head hurts. That's our energy secretary. You know, DEI hire. Folks that does it for us today. Sign up for the newsletter over at Substack Chapter and Verse. Find us YouTube,
