Welcome to the program. So Massey lost his election and the weeping and ashen, the grinding of teeth, a weeping and ashing, none of that stopped. It's just gone on and on to the point where it's now becoming a, it's now a national conversation. And it's unfortunate that it even is like that. I mean, I'm not even telling you, the comments are insane. Have you seen some of these comments, Kane? Have you been seeing some of them?

No, I haven't seen them. You don't look. at Facebook and Instagram comments? No. You haven't looked at our Facebook and Instagram comments. No, no. I don't look at the comments. Oh my gosh.

I can't believe. I'd just like to see the content up there and it's like, okay, good. Our stuff's out there. It's good stuff. But have you seen, but you haven't seen any of the way that people have been talking? No. Hold on. Okay, well, you've been accused of being Jewish.

What? Yeah. Seriously? Yeah. Jew Dana and her Jew staff literally is what one of the comments have been. And then other people are like, are you just surrounded by Jewish people working on your show? I mean, that's the way it is. I don't think, I don't, I don't know if people realize how unbelievably bad it is, but that's how bad it's been.

It's been pretty crazy. So the, yeah, I know, right? What? You're wowing. I can't even, where would they come up with that? I'm like, dude, you're half Mexican. I mean, not saying that you couldn't be Jewish, but, you know, you're not. I mean, you literally call balls and strikes evenly on both sides of the aisle, no matter who the country is, ally or not.

I don't understand how they could even come up with getting close to even making that a true statement. I don't get it. I don't know, but it is. That's the way it is. So this, you heard Tim Burchett talk about this. This is something that it keeps going and going and going and going. And let's just play some stuff. Let's just play some stuff.

for let's let's do um come in at let's do four this is this is part of the problem watch so on one level this is the saddest moment in a long time it's not just the death of Thomas Massey's immediate political career which may be resurrected one never knows it's obviously the death of maga whatever that was why is it the death of maga but it's also of course the end of the republican party as we thought we knew it Of course. The Republican Party of right now bears absolutely no resemblance to the Republican Party we thought we had just elected less than a year and a half ago. None at all.

Wait, well, what do you mean? First off, how is it the death of MAGA? You're talking about a candidate who is running who's not even MAGA. Make America great again. I don't even consider, I don't consider myself MAGA. I consider myself adjacent. I'm just a constitutionalist. I don't like a, I'm not a joiner.

You know, Massey was never a magad dude. He didn't have the election stolen from him either, by the way. He got outvoted. And for all the people who keep going, we talked about this yesterday, who keeps saying that it was stolen, that they, I'm pulling up some stuff here right now in front of me in my big four and a half. We don't have prompters here because we're not cable cast off rejects.

But he was outvoted. He, every time that Trump, Trump challenged him before, Massey walked away with double digits, double digits every time. But it was when Massey started leaning in to this nonsense. It's when Massey started leaning in, as I wrote on Substack, and we talked about yesterday, into the Islamist route, paling around with, like, actual Holocaust deniers. I'm not making that up. When you go out and you say in the digital fear that you don't believe the Holocaust happened, that's a Holocaust

denial, which would make you a denier. That's how words work. When he started leaning into that, when he messed up because he was chasing the Epstein thing for clout, that was another big, bad thing. I mean, you realize that he didn't actually name anybody, right?

In fact, there's a... Look, I've been mad at Republicans about this longer than anybody else, I think. I've been very mad at them about this because I feel like they used it as a campaign stunt, all of them, every single damn one of them, Massey included. And I even named Massey about that as well, because I felt like it was a stunt. They were running around out there and

they were talking about, well, we've got to get these names out and these names. We've got to, but then they apparently have investigated and are going through the legal process with everyone with whom they could go through the legal process. He had access to all of this stuff. And then the only time that he ever actually said any names was when he named off four people, he smeared four innocent people on the floor of the house by saying that they were essentially in the Epstein files, even though the only association they had with the files were they were involved in a police line up and dismissed. That's not running down and finding the... the powerful people. He got himself in trouble. And then when voters started thinking that it was a stunt

and that it was a grift, it turned them off. Only 4% of his funding even came from Kentucky, by the way. I'm looking at the hard numbers from Open Secrets and all of the tracking applications that follow this and make this stuff available publicly on the thing called the internet. Only 4% of his funding came within Kentucky. In fact, the majority of it came from California. Yeah. The majority of it came from California, that big red state. Kind of crazy. The other thing that people keep messing up is, you know, when you look at the ballots, Massey got less, he got fewer ballots than Al Gorene. That's how he lost the election. People keep saying that it's that it was stolen, that they, I mean, in fact, that's one of the things that Tucker has been promoting is that the election was somehow stolen. That's what the left does. the left does that they keep talking about well you know he um they they they spent uh what what is the figure 32 million uh or no yeah 35 million was spent in the kentucky seat that's the total for both of them i've seen podcasts to stand people with a million followers say that ed galrain spent 35 million in the

primary i'm not kidding you literally have said it That doesn't make any sense because that's not even in any way accurate. No, that's not how it went. More than 35. That's the total for both. That is the total for both. Steve asks if he was called Jewish too. Yes, you were, Steve.

You guys are all Jewish now, apparently. I don't know if you knew that. But that's the total that was spent. Massey and Ed Gowardine, Thomas Massey, now Gowrain. They, they, actually, Massey, outraised him. Massey raised more money than Ed Galrain. The difference was about maybe a million and a half, $2 million when it came to pack money that purchased advertising. And both Massey had it and Galrain had it. So it was a pack that comes in and then they purchase ad time. They do what they call media buys.

That's when they purchase ad time. Those are very expensive, especially during campaigns because the price is pricey. So there was not really very, there was little difference in spending between them. So all these people running their mouths, you realize that I can literally just go and look at it, the FEC reporting, and immediately disprove you? Why would you do that? Why would you just make stuff up? But see, they realized the people lying to you about this, know that you're not going to do that. Because you got dinner to make and laundry to do.

And you trust these people to be honest with you. And they're not going to be honest with you. These people are no better than the legacy press. Their biggest complaint with the legacy press is that they weren't the ones in control of the information. That was their biggest complaint. They wanted to remake the legacy press in their own image. They wanted to become the legacy press. And that's what they've been trying to do.

They got rejected by cable. So now they're in this fear. Unfortunately, we were born here. They've merely adopted it. But they're lying to you. these are people that you thought you could trust and they're taking advantage of that. They're trying to act like they're conservative or Republican so you let your guard down and then they fill your mind with BS.

They've been lying to you this entire time. They're lying to you about the amount of money that's raised. I mean, this stuff, guys, it took me three seconds to look up the amount that was spent and the difference in donations and the difference in PACs. Thomas Massey outraised campaign donations at Galrain by a, Decent number, not a lot, but a decent number. He outrazed him. The way that Legacy Press and podcast to stand and these cost-playing tranny conservatives, what they're trying to tell you is that the whole entire 35 million was spent by Ed Galrain. That's a lie. And shame on them. These people

are no better than the demons that are on MSNBC. They are no better. That's just disgusting. But this is how, this is what it is. Here's the other thing people don't realize. realize Massey, and this is why I'm actually not MAGA, Massey did not vote for Trump issues. Remember he endorsed him? Massey endorsed ended up endorsing Trump, and then he turned on it. We've never changed.

Massey changed. He also said that he signed a pledge. He literally ran on term limits. He signed a pledge to only serve three terms, and he broke that pledge and continued running for office. We didn't change. Massey changed. I mean, I have it right now.

Thomas Massey's policy on term limits. I took the screenshot from his campaign website, just in case anybody wanted to take issue with it. He literally says, yes, there should be term limits set for members of Congress. I actually don't agree with term limits because I think the term limit is the voter's vote, but I digress. he didn't vote for the big beautiful bill. The big beautiful bill was the entirety of Trump's economic package, literally his whole term in that bill.

That is what voters voted for. I don't like the big beautiful bill. That's why, again, I say I'm MAGA adjacent. I like Trump. I voted for Trump three times. But I wouldn't describe myself as MAGA. We didn't change. Thomas Massey changed.

And he, after he endorsed Trump, voters saw that and supported it, he turned around. he turned around and voted against the one big beautiful bill, which also included ICE funding and several other things. That enraged his voters. Again, they didn't change. Massey changed. That made them mad. They voted for Trump.

Trump took that district, the fourth congressional district, by leaps and bounds. So what did you think was going to happen? When you literally vote against the president that your voters voted for, when you broke your promise on term limits, when you clout chased on Epstein, and instead of actually naming anyone, you smeared a bunch of innocent people who,

if he had not done that on the congressional floor, they would be suing him for defamation right now. But he's protected from defamation and liable because it was set on the congressional floor. Again, none of us changed. Massey changed. Oh, I have a lot more of our partners that help bring you the program.

It's our friends over at Preborn. It's a great organization that's determined to continue helping as many babies as possible this may. And they've extended their goal that they want to reach by saving thousands of lives. They saved over 80,000 lives last year. They brought 10,000 women to Christ. And they offer free ultrasounds to women who are experiencing, who are facing unplanned pregnancies. They want these women to feel confident in choosing life. And they work with them for the first two years of these children's lives to make sure that they get started on the,

the right foot. And you can join their mission. $28 is the cost of one ultrasound. That's it. And you all made this happen last year. There are 600 donations actually less than that now, but still a couple of hundred donations of $28 away from reaching their Mother's Day goal. And you made it happen last year. I know you can do it again this year. You can visit preborn.com slash Dana Give Securely. They have a four-star charity rating. You can give with confidence. Everything's tax deductible. You can also dial pound 250 and save the word baby. com slash Dana or dial pound 250 say the word baby let's save some lives so welcome back we've been discussing a lot of things coming up uh let me tell you what we got i got a million windows bear with

me on my big giant we got a couple of guests coming up for you later to then the show we got congressman chip roy at the bottom of this hour and the next hour we got stephen yates because i happen to think that the whole push against the data centers is a chinese siop and we're going to talk with Stevie Aates about it. Now, in full disclosure, we were also trying to accommodate Mays Middleton today, who's also running for AG. We had this show booked for quite a few days, and we heard from Middleton's people yesterday, and we were trying to make it work to get him on in the first hour since it's difficult to put someone in the first segment, so we always go to the bottom of the hour, because it's also the longest segment, but he wasn't able to make that

work, but just full disclosure, so you all know that. But we have those two guests for you, and we've been going over all of this other stuff. You know, I don't want to spend too much longer on the Massey thing, just because I'm just so, I'm just getting tired of it already. And the big takeaway is that he won, or Ed Gowleron won fair and square. That's it. He won Fair and Square and Massey brought this on to himself. The problem is that you have people who are laughing at it and making fun of it and saying it was it was stolen that the election was stolen. They're they're using that line. And then you have this. This is audio cut five. Whatever this is from the head podcast to Stan Honcho. Listen.

In a race like this, there's evidence of it and that evidence takes very familiar forms. enthusiasm, joy, and just sheer numbers. Like, people show up. They can't believe it. We beat the evil Thomas Massey with his jihadi backers. This is a blow against Islamic jihad, whatever that is. He's making a strawmate argument. What is he talking about?

Who said Islamic jihad? Show me one instance where somebody said that. He just makes up stuff to argue against it so he can seem like he's right. No one ever said that. No, what we did. And see how he very tries to say. He tries to very subtly do Amat Bailey here. Oh, Islamic Jihad, I mean, don't you all think that's crazy?

But that's not what was said. No, what was said is that he has some very curious Islamist backers who have absolutely donated to pro-Hamas candidates. Candidates who back Sharia. Rashida Taleb, Cory Booker, or not Corey Booker, Corey Bush, Rashida Tili, Corey Bush, Illinois, All these people. The dude who was up there running for. for mayor. The other guy who was running for Senate up there and was, I mean, very, very far left Islamist candidates. The people who were donating to, who donated to Massey, donated all of those,

all of those people. So yeah, that's a big issue. And I think it, yeah, you absolutely can ask questions about that. But to laugh it off and be like, well, it's just Islamic jihad, you were literally saying everybody was bought and paid for it by the Jews. Let's be honest about it. And I made that mention. I'm so throttled on X. I don't even, I can't believe there hasn't been a class action suit against making people purchase accounts and then you throttle the hell out of them. I don't know how that works. But the whole point of that of this is that all of these people, they get money. Like even Tucker has gotten money from people who are Islamists. I mean, that's like one of the people who helped finance his media venture, right? Omin Malik.

These are people that if the shoe were on the other foot, they would be questioning them all day long. but the problem is, is that they don't have any kind of criticism if it's money coming from those people because those people aren't Jewish. In fact, Jews are their entire problem. That's their entire problem. It's reverse intersectionality, like to a woker degree. And if you don't know what that means, intersectionality, that's what all the wokery is. So I'll give you a really easy example to remember. So if you have a black woman, and then you have a man who wants to be a black woman and is trans, he beats her because he has the little additional identifier of being trans. Every little variable multiplies and it's supposed to be a substitute for merit and it's supposed

to guarantee automatic influence. That's what intersectionality is. So you have all of these, the left multiplies all of these different identity variables and the woke rike subtracts the person entirely if they're Jewish. So, that's how it works. It's like reverse intersectionality. That's exactly how it works. So, just like I said, to a woker degree, that's the crazy thing about all of this, is it's all leftism. It's all leftism. Every bit of it is leftism without exception. And people keep saying, well, it's a foreign country. It's not a foreign country. Again, domestic people. I explained all of that in detail yesterday. But Massey lost the election because

Massey lost the voters. He lost early voting and he lost in-person day of election voting. I was looking at the data. It's all available in the Secretary of State's website for it, because that's what the Secretary of State does. It's literally they run elections. And all of that data is available on their website. He lost every single vote. I mean, it's just there's no other way to put it. I don't know how else you put it. By the way, the list thing, you know, I was telling you, there's never been a collection of names or a list of names. There's been some names that came up in the Maxwell trial, and they have one exhibit that's under seal. But this has always been like a lawyer grift to try to keep this thing going, keep that aspect

of it going. There isn't anything to blow open. Massey would have his ass suit off for defamation had he not read the names of those innocent people on the floor and had done it somewhere else. there's a reason why he only set it on the floor because I don't even think he knew what he was doing he just hurried up and went up there and decided to read some names to try to make it look

like he was actually doing something he campaigned like Trump did on the Epstein thing and then he didn't do a damn thing about it so Massey in that regard is just as bad as the potus that he criticizes and I say this is someone who's known Massey but I'm going to tell you what if Ron DeSantis who I really like

if Ron DeSantis went out and did the same nonsense I would absolutely jump on his ass too. Because I'm not a political zealot. Unlike all these clickhors, I'm not a political zealot. Now, like I said, I'm not going to spend that much time on it. This idea that he's going to run for president, that's the other thing that podcast is staying decided to push, that's never going to happen.

If you can't even win your own district, a solid red district, you don't have a shot. Bottom line is it didn't, he met this is this is a great thing that my friend had sent me that he had posted online massy had zero substantive accomplishments in congress to help his district that's true i went back and dove in this guy's record he did not solely sponsor a single bill and he only co-sponsored a handful you cannot argue with what's been filed rocana's district similarly my friend wrote has countless issues and is losing people by the day the big thing he points to is them teaming up to pass the most

consequential legislation of modern history, which is really just a left-wing messaging billman to distract from real issues. The Epstein bill helped zero people in either district, which is what voters care about. It revealed zero criminal activity. It was an attempt to shift focus from real issues to a case that had been over for four years and that the people involved never actually cared about in order to push various conspiracy narratives that they now use as the basis of their entire worldview. Did a bunch of rumors and conspiracies from those files help the homelessness in either of these guys' district? Did it reduce home prices? Did it help lower the tax burden? Did it take any pedophiles or criminals off the street? No. But it allowed him to rant about an

imaginary quote-unquote Epstein class, which is the phrase that pansies use when they're too cowardly to say Jew, while fundraising and associating with the worst people imaginable, including defenders and promoters of various sexual deviance. In fact, Massey and Rocahna were so desperate to pretend that they achieved something. They ended up accusing four random people who were in a police lineup with zero connection to Epstein of being his rich co-conspirators, including a random mechanic. It is obvious both men never cared about helping people or their districts. They wanted to be influencers for the bigoted extremes. Massey will never hold elected office again. His best job, his best hope is to join the podcast world. He can be one of the people that all the podcasts

to stand folks interview over and over again. So can we talk about this Islamic Center of San Diego? pivot. So in addition to being the mosque that was attended by two of the 9-11 hijackers, the Imam and his wife, both of them I said yesterday, justified October 7th. They held a vigil for the martyrs who perpetrated it. I'll say it again. They held a vigil for the martyrs who perpetrated it. And now, you know the security guy that was killed? He sounds like Tucker Carlson. He says all the same stuff Tucker does and podcastistan does. Amin Abdullah, he was at an extremist with jihadi friends.

He posted so much stuff about Hitler on his social media pages. It is crazy. And there are screenshots galore. Some of it's really nasty. But he absolutely. was an extremist. And he talked about the final solution. He talked to, oh, by the way, just in case you thought, oh, well, I got, I get off Scott freeing this. I'm not Jewish. No, he also hated infidels. Yeah, they ranted about infidels quite a lot there at the center, too. Hmm. Wow. Cain, that sounds so

familiar. Doesn't it? Huh. All of that happening at that. Interesting. And the wife was really scrubbing her social media platform. Now the one of the, I don't want to say their names, one of the killers involved, he was suspended from high tech high after allegedly threatening to shoot up the school. They said students and staff reportedly knew that he was becoming radicalized, but he was still allowed to attend prom and grad night. According to one of the, now they will not name them, but it was a teacher at the school. They had sent an email to several local reporters there

asking, quote, I am purposefully anonymous, but wanted to ask why no one reported the mosque killer, his high school history at a high tech high at Chula Vista. He was suspended last year for making a threat to shoot up the school. Parents were kept in the dark, but all the kids knew about it. He was suspended and later permitted to attend prom

and graduation and the lock-in that they had. Would you let your kids go to something like that, Knowing that there was a classmate that was doing that, I wouldn't. I would have a huge problem with it. And, I mean, his parents apparently had to have known, but they, I guess, did nothing to intervene up until the last minute. I mean, that's, that is just, well, that's, I mean, reckless. That's endangerment. There's a lot more coming out about this.

Now a lot of people will say, well, that doesn't excuse. No one's talking about that issue. But here's the thing. You have people who are preaching heinous violence and they're shocked when it shows up on their doorstep? I mean, these were people who preached at the center about Islamic jihad all the time and going after infidels. And then they're shocked when it shows up on their doorstep? What the hell did you think was going to? I mean, good grief.

It's not an invitation to anything. but my gosh, the left suddenly doesn't want to use their same standard of measure for conservatives or Republicans when it has to do with jihadis. Our partners that bring you the program, it's the friends over at Native Path. Native Path is the place to go for collagen. It was invented by a doctor who spent years looking for clean collagen for his patients. There was always something wrong with something, with any of the things that he tried. So he created Native Path.

And this is collagen your body can actually use. You know, when you turn 30, your body produces. is one to two percent less collagen every year. That's the protein that keeps your bones dense, cushions your joints, firms your skin. It also helps with vitamin D production, hormones, everything. And a lot of people lose it, and they lose a lot of it without even knowing it. So this is where Native Path collagen comes in. It's grass-fed and it's clean. It dissolves easily in coffee or water. There's no taste, no clumping. There's no chalk taste like you would get from some of this stuff. And this, you know, this is really the way to go. You're getting just the best collagen that you

can get and you're getting that protein that that you know the hair the nails all of it and right now they also are offering 45% off your purchase visit get native path.com slash dana you try it risk free 365 day money back guarantee again college in your body can actually use visit get native path dot com slash dana for up to 45% off i have a handful of stories here and we're going to get into stevie nates is going to be joining us at the bottom of the hour because i have been very interested in this whole data center thing. And I know a lot of you have emailed me about it. Whenever I am, I don't want to say late in talking about something.

I don't like to rush to talk about something just to be first. I want to take my time and make sure that I'm thoroughly understanding everything that's involved. It usually involves a lot of like off-air conversations with experts and maybe some people who don't even really want to come on air, but they want to give you insight. to really fully understand the situation. And the data center thing, like people in my hometown of Festus, Missouri, they just defeated the creation of a data center that was going to be put in the area. And my first instinct is to be like, yeah, because we don't want it to take all the water and all that stuff. But then I'm like, wait a minute, something feels off.

There's something that just feels off about the whole thing. should we be that excited to not have data centers? Because if we don't have them, who's going to have them? It rhymes with Schmina. So then I started kind of looking around, and I noticed that there was a lot, or not was, there are a lot of Chinese influencers that very much would love it for us to not have the creation of data.

They want us to fall behind, like we did with rare earth metals, fall behind China with that. So the question then becomes, was there a way to do it responsibly and not allow China to take first place in this? Because if they control that, then it becomes a Natsack issue. So we're going to talk to Stephen Yates about all of this coming up. In the meantime, though, oh boy, do I have some things for you? I just had me pull this piece up. I saw this.

It's from, originally was from the BBC. and it's, I don't quite know exactly how to present it. It has to do, so here's the headline, BBC. Selling children to survive, Afghan fathers forced to make impossible choices. Wait, what? I am so confused about this. The BBC launches into the story. about these families in Afghanistan who are selling their daughters for marriage, right?

That's what they're doing. They're selling their kids for marriage. And these are really young kids too, right? They have this one guy, 45 years old, Juma Khan. He found three days of work in the past six weeks. And he says that he thinks his kids are going to die of hunger and all of this stuff. And he goes, I'm willing to sell my daughter. Now, this is the guy that is like 40.

He's like, what did I hold? How did I say it? It's stated his age up here. Okay, he's 45 years old. He is healthy and he can do some kind of, he can lay, he can sell his labor. But now, and he's selling his daughters for marriage. And they're usually being sold, usually, the customers they're sold to old dudes that have money. And those are the people who buy them.

I, I don't know. can't even imagine something like that. And then the way that they put it, though, it makes it sound like the fathers, oh, these, they're very sympathetic figures, right? These fathers are very sympathetic figures. Can you, isn't it so sad that they're having to do this? Well, wait a minute, though. It talks about this one family. They're selling, I'm looking at this story right now. So one family is selling their daughter to one of the brothers to buy. What? A relative that's going to buy his six-year-old girl as a child bride.

And all of the people, like, so social media has been saying, well, that's the custom. If you look at the notes on the BBC article, the people are defending it. They're saying, well, all of these profiled cases. This is selling daughters through marriage is a longstanding cultural practice in parts of Afghanistan, et cetera. I don't care. That's barbaric. And the other part of this makes me think,

first off, why are they putting it in this sympathetic light? Like the dad's the victim. Hardly anything is sad about the little girl. The dad is so sad that he's got to do this. They're making impossible choices. So the on the only thing, uncle is buying his niece as a child bride, and a lot of these girls end up pregnant before they're 12. It's pedophilia. But the uncle isn't decent enough to just help them out without having to

sexually violate their six-year-old daughter. Kill all of them. This is ridiculous. Seriously? He won't help financially to not have his relative starve, but he'll buy the six-year-old. that's not a man, that's an animal. And here's the bigger thing. So I read this piece. Why is that never discussed in the article? Kane, that's not ever brought up in the article. I, I mean, I read this piece, I have it open again.

At no point do they get into how maybe the rich family, members, and a lot of the times it's like a cousin, it's like a rich uncle, something like that, that ends up buying the daughter. Why do they not have the decency? Does their religion not allow for charitable acts? Oh my gosh. But you know what the angle of the story was? They were trying to shame foreign governments for not giving them enough aid money. That really was ultimately the soul of the peace. They didn't really care about any of that other stuff. I, and in fact, they quote, we've had help from no one. Not anybody in the government, no NGOs.

The Taliban blames the previous Afghan administration. I just, I'm shocked at this. There is not at any point does the journalist go, hey, if the uncle and all of these other rich men are wealthy enough to literally buy your child to save your family, then why do they not just give you money as a charitable act in your faith? that is never asked ever it's just well that's how it works here

I am and it's a British reporter a British female reporter and I'm just shocked that that wasn't a question that was brought up that is that's the culture that's considered acceptable and the BBC had no no issue with it at all whatsoever

if you sell your child for sexual slavery, you're not a parent. You're an animal. You're an animal. By the way, the BBC's government funded. So basically, you have British taxpayers that paid to have this article written to defend a human trafficker that sells their own kid into sexual slavery. If you want to look at it through that lens. Like, they're actually trying to justify it. The biggest thing in this article in the BBC isn't the fact that the guy was selling his daughter. It's not the fact that a, and you know the is like, the uncle's like 52. Oh.

Oh, Kane and I are both going to wretch. Six year old. But then they always, I read another article that was similar to this where it was a nine-year-old that was being purchased. And then the guy buying her who was in his late 40s was like, yes, but we're not going to consummate it for another couple of years. Oh, you're going to wait until she's 11? And that's supposed to be the, I know, Kane's eyes are, this is, this is,

totally like pitch black corner over here. Kane's eyes are so big. They're like two moons over in the corner. You look like literally, it's like a Warner Brothers sketch over here. It's like, what do they call it? It's sickening. What is it, the Mohammed protocol? Is that what they're doing? They're waiting

a couple years. Yeah, yeah. Being like Mohammed. Nine year old. Good stuff. But the whole article was about shaming foreign governments for not giving them enough money. Like, well, the reason these men are sick perverts is because you don't give them money. Wait, how does that work? So they stop being sick perverts when the appearance of a dollar

manifest when a dollar manifests in front of them? Well, that was going to rate this six-year-old, but here's some money from a foreign government. I guess I won't now. The fathers look like the victims and then all the Western nations are supposed to look bad because they didn't give money to this. You cannot make this up. I don't know. Here's something else for. you. I've got two quick things. One of them I don't think I'm going to be able to get through quick enough. Should I do that? Let me, let me do the Betty Boop one. So Betty Boop, they're making a Betty Boop movie. Betty Boop, she's a flapper, right? Isn't Betty Boop a flapper? What the hell's a flapper?

I'm sorry, what? What the hell's a flapper? What do you mean when you say she's a flapper? Okay, you know what a flapper is? Like in their 20s? That was like, they were, so flappers, they were rebelling against the more traditional dress at the time. So the women cut their hair and they had the fringe. And so my husband's grandmother, I think, was a flapper that was described. And they would wear the headbands with the feathers and all that. That's like the flapper style.

Anyway, isn't Betty Boop a flapper is what I thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so the, um, Let's see. She's a cartoon character. Everybody knows Betty Boop, right? She's, I think, was created like in the 30s. So they are casting Quina Brunson.

She's starring and developing the Betty Boop movie. And there are a lot of people that are upset about it. Because Quineta Brunson is black and Betty Boop is, is white apparently. Well, not apparently, but people are apparently upset by it. I don't know that I care about this one. Because even though it was in 1920s, there were black women in New York and et cetera,

and performers that were flappers. Josephine Baker, hello, was a flapper. This one, I'm not, as long as she keeps her hair short and actually tries to match Betty Boop's hair, which was the thing, I'm not really upset about it. The nostalgia is the period of time. So if she aligns with that period of time in all things and suspends that disbelief. I'm going to need her to dress like it.

I'm going to need her to have the vocal affectation because that's how Betty Boop had. But because, I mean, so Josephine Baker, I am a, so I love Josephine Baker. I love her story. I love her. You know, she spied on behalf of the Allies, right? That woman was sneaky and heroic. She was amazing. And she was in that era.

So that there it doesn't seem a historical and the reason I think that some people zero in on that stuff is because this world is so hellacious that you really have to get over a lot to get involved in it. Do you feel that way you really have to get over a lot of reality baggage to suspend your disbelief and get really invested in a story anymore? And so as long as it there is some historical association, I don't mind it. Now, the Holland of Troy, that was the one that people objected to because that is a historical. And that's, it didn't make, it's anachronistic and a historical. And the Odyssey and the I mean, the descriptions exist there. And the descriptions of that person was to be an example of Zeus's deity, not man's specific preference for beauty. It was an example of Zeus's power.

So that's why I think people objected to that casting. This one I don't really have an issue with. but if she grows her hair long, I'm going to have an issue. We have a lot more on the way as we move. Our partners that help bring you the program, it's our friends over at Ghost Bed. I think they make the best mattress out there. It is such a comfortable bed. It really is.

And if you are needing a mattress, before you do anything, you need to check out Ghost Bed. Because they, first off, they don't really build mattresses like furniture. They treat them like engineered sleep systems. There's just no other way to put it. Because the bed's a piece of health equipment. I mean, it's designed to provide you relief and recovery. It's not just supposed to be for looks and floof, right? Your body's supposed to heal while you sleep.

But if you're waking up at night and you're tossing and you're turning and you're uncomfortable and you're just waking up sore and exhausted, that's not healthy. And that's your, sounds like your mattress. Ghostbed is made to help with these exact issues. I have one. It's just, you know that it's made better right when you see it. The materials, the way that the edges are seamed, the construction, the loft, all of it is just so much better.

Inhibiting militant adversarial mullahs act. What does that spell, Kaine? Imam. Inhibiting militant adversarial mullahs act, which would bar radicalized leaders of certain religious denominations from being admitted to the United States. And it's a very simple two-page bill, and it asks to amend a section of the Immigration Code to prevent non-immigrant religious

worker visas for aliens with the title of Imam, Grand Imam, Mufti, Grandma, oh my gosh, Ayatollahs, all the whole nine yards. The person who introduced us is Congressman Chip Roy from the Great Republic of Texas, who's also running for AG. He joins us now via video. Congressman, good to see you. I'm reading the list. So it's Imam, Grand Amam, Shaka, which I don't even know what some of these are.

Shaka, I don't even know what that is. Grand Mufti. I don't know how that's different from an Ayatola or Grand Ayatola versus an Ayatola. But all of these are real titles. And all of these, it's interesting because the people who hold them,

whenever you want to go hear hate and division, that's usually the person you go listen to, somebody with that kind of title. Tell us about this bill. Yeah, well, you know, giving your knowledge of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplace, the extent to which you've got an infiltration in Texas heavily of essentially the effort to Islamify Texas and the United States. And it's being driven by imams.

It's being driven by people that are associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, obviously care. And the purpose of the bill that we put forward is to restrict the abuse of what we've currently had on our books under an R1 visa where you're able to come here as a cleric or some member of the clergy. and, you know, picture more innocently, say, you know, Catholic priest that wants to come here from Italy and come serve in a church here in the United States for some period of time. And so we've had that ability, but it's been being abused now for there to be imams, many of whom are very radicalized that are pushing this anti-American anti-Western jihad as part of the overall effort that has been well documented by the Muslim Brotherhood, their 1991. one memoranda, but many other things, obviously the Holy Land Foundation with which you're very familiar in Dallas-Fort Worth. And then now the recent stuff we're seeing with Epic City and all these mosques growing in Texas. So I've done a number of things, as you know, co-founded the Sharia Free America Caucus with

Keith Self, another great Texan, my good friend from Collin County. We've introduced legislation to pause immigration. We've introduced legislation to say that you can denaturalize and remove people who are pushing Islamic propaganda that is anti-Western and pushing Sharia law. And so we've been doing a number of things, and this Amama Act is following up on it, and we think it's important to make that case and make it clearly. Now, it's difficult because, you know, under Islam, you're taught that you not only can, but you should lie in order to carry out your efforts to wage jihad on the West. So we've got to have to work to deal with this. That's why I proposed last fall a total freeze across the board on immigration.

But I keep introducing these things to highlight it for people so they can know what we're dealing with because it is so bad in Cullen County, so bad in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. We've led in five and a half million people from majority Muslim countries since 9-11, Dana, and that's cultural suicide. One of the things that really stuck out to me, because I know that you were working on this before the San Diego story happened. And I wanted, I mean, I actually made this, I screenshotted this and put this in my notes. Let me just read for people two paragraphs. This has to do with your bill from Daily Signal. It says in 2010, the New York Times reported that after 9-11, Anwar al-Alawki, who was a 30-year-old imam at a mosque outside of D.C., became a radical jihadist who declared war in the U.S. He had moved.

He was attending Colorado State University. The two terrorists that were involved in the 9-11 attacks heard, and were all over. Holilaki sermons at his mosque in San Diego, the very one at the center of the story of the shooting of earlier this week before he moved to Virginia. What strikes me is that all of this information is coming out about that Islamic center, that they're still preaching this stuff. And this is exactly the kind of thing you're talking about. And they have visiting imams that come in. And then they come into the country exactly what your bill would prohibit. They come in the country. And then they and they have like ceremonies to honor the martyrs of October 7th for one example?

Well, there are multiple imams in Texas that if you look at their teachings and if you look at the statements they've been making are equally as problematic and are making similar calls to wage jihad on the West. Now, I don't know if you know Amy Meck. Amy testified in the hearing that I chaired a week and a half ago as the subcommittee in the Constitution chairman, where I had Amy testified as well as, and I know you know this young man, Marco Hunter Lopez, who is the high school student from Wiley, ISD. And he did a great job challenging Jamie Raskin on the issues. And, you know, Jamie said, God doesn't appear in the Constitution.

He goes, well, God appears four times in the Declaration. And he went toe to toe with Jamie. The point being, we've got an effort that is underway very specifically to target us and to deconstruct our Judeo-Christian society and replace it with an Islamic one. And as Amy said about all this, she does not wish any of the ill these shooters that went into this mosque in San Diego,

and that shouldn't be the way we do things, but highlighted in her same thread, all of these things that have come out of that mosque and come out of the Islamic centers around it. And this matters. This is what's happening, and it's being promoted and pushed, And the last conversation I had with Charlie Kirk, Dana, last summer, and I don't talk about those kinds of things very much.

But on one subject I do, it was about Islam. It was about, he had given a speech at Oxford. I'd given a fiery speech on the House floor about how it was not just London and not just Paris. It's here. It's Dearborn. It's New York. It's Minneapolis. And we're seeing this unfold.

And we agreed that you cannot win a war you don't acknowledge exists. This war is being waged against us. purposely in Texas. So this is one of the reasons that animated me to run for Attorney General. This is the fight of our day. We're either going to win this one or we're not going to be the country that we are. And it's so insane. We're talking with congressmanship, Roy, that Texas is so heavily targeted.

I mean, I have my own ideas as to why that may be. Maybe it's oil and gas. I don't know. But how do you explain that? Because this is the topic of conversation that I've had with every friend for weeks now. So I think it's multiple things. One, I think we're targeted because we are the crown jewel of the American Republic, right? If you take down Texas, if you establish a beachhead here in Texas, then America's in trouble.

And then they can really stick a stake in the heart of the West. Number two, Texas makes it kind of easy. To our credit, we're a very free state. And so, you know, we take freedom very seriously. And so, you know, if somebody wants to go buy up some land and then go build a mosque and build some housing and stuff, it's a little bit easier to do because we tend to say, well, go do your thing. But what I'm trying to remind people here is that we have a responsibility to not allow this stuff to occur and allow Sharia compounds to exist and to allow this march of Islam through Texas

because they are, in fact, waging war against our way of life. I think it's also a third problem, Dana, is our kind of automatic deference as Republicans to corporate America. And this is something that isn't always popular to say as a conservative Republican. But at some point, you got to go, look, economic growth is really important. I'm for it. I'm for free flow of capital, free enterprise, capitalism. I'll die on that hill to fight for it. But when boardrooms in New York are more concerned about earnings per share,

and when governors and leaders of the red states across our country are looking through that lens rather than making sure we're also protecting our culture, our community, and who we are, Then suddenly you have a mass influx of people under H-1B visas, or your big universities are now all in coordination with big corporate America in order to have labor, but they're coming from all over the world and they're not American workers here. I just think that's something we've got to be mindful of, and now I think we're paying the consequences. And by the way, I'm saying this going a while back,

that's not directed at any particular leader of our state or anybody else. I'm just saying culturally, we Republicans, are deferential. to corporate interests. Yeah, I think that's fair. I have two questions for you. You're talking with Congressman Chip Roy, and that makes sense too. And the H1BVs the thing

is something that we've got to get a handle on. I kind of want to switch gears because obviously the other big topic of conversation is what happened with Kentucky, just the other night. I know you're, I've known Congressman Thomas Massey for a long time. You've known him even longer

and you know him better and you worked with them. I kind of wanted to get your thoughts on how everything unfolded with that. I mean, what is, I think maybe there's a lesson to be learned that what happens podcast to stand doesn't necessarily happen in the real world and that online influence does has its limits, does have its limits?

Yeah, look, I think, let me say first, it's a shame that someone who I know to be such a devoted believer in the Constitution and limited government and low spending and has devoted a good chunk of his life to fighting for that, that, you know, that this has kind of resulted in this now. It's that we've had so many bad members of Congress and so many. many bad senators that have been destroying our country for decades. And, you know, Thomas ends up with the crosshairs on his back. Okay. And look, Thomas pokes the bear. You know, he's picked at the scab on a number of different issues that I think raised the hackles of not just the president,

but a lot of people. And, you know, I've had private conversations with Thomas that I won't get into here on the air about, hey, you know, maybe this is not the right lane to be in at this moment. let's stay focused on what we're trying to do on limited government, the Constitution, the Second Amendment, ending warrantless surveillance on Americans, all of those things where I think Thomas added so much value to the fabric of Congress. But, you know, if you're going to poke the bear a lot and do it directly, and kind of for the sake of it, then this kind of thing is the result. I mean, I don't even know if I necessarily think it was him just going after Trump because

he went after Trump before and he like sailed through re-election with double digits. But the thing that seemed different to me is he was paling around with. with Podcastistan and he made it all about the Jews. I mean, they keep saying the Epstein class, but let's be real, just because a lot of people, including some of the colleagues in Congress, they just won't, they don't have the spine to go out and say they have a problem with Jewish people. Well, this is one of the areas where I broke and had strong disagreement with my good friend from Kentucky, you know, and I'm a strong defender of Israel and standing with Israel, but not just that, but just largely making sure that we're doing the right thing and recognizing our shared interest,

national security interest taking on Iran, not cozying up with Iran because you're somehow, you know, mad at whatever's going on in Israel. I mean, this is crazy. We've got to stand up in defense of our national security. And look, this is, you know, you can, by the way, I'm actually an example where you can actually draw some lines, but not lose your mind. So for example, I voted for full funding for Israel because I believe in it. I voted to defend them. I've passed the International Criminal Court sanctioned bill, and I got a call from the Prime Minister thanking me for it. I've been a strong advocate. But I did vote against a bill that made some of my friends in the pro-Israel community unhappy

that was Ukraine funding plus Israel because it didn't include funding for to secure the border of Texas. And that was one of my lines in the sand in the previous administration. So you can make decisions that you think are right. But sometimes you get out in that lane and I think you say it well with sort of podcast to stand. I kind of like that. I'll probably steal that phraseology. Go right ahead. because, well, because it's kind of right.

I mean, just, I don't know, some things, some, some folks in this world just kind of went off the reservation in some form of derangement syndrome that isn't even, to your point, it isn't even really trumped arrangement syndrome. They just kind of went off in this lane. And I think that kind of blew up. But, but again, I wish Thomas well. And, you know, he lost his wonderful bride, Rhonda, you know, a couple years ago and, and, you know. There's a lot of, yeah, a lot of things that contributed to it.

It was sad to see. Last question for you, because this is the question. And it has to do with your race for attorney general. So I was reading a couple of things like Axios and Politico and all, you know, all the people on K Street are all rubbing their hands together going, well, what would an AG Chipproy do? And one of the first things that they brought up is, oh my gosh, if we have an AG Chip Roy, is he going to investigate Ken Paxton? And apparently that's one of the things that was being whispered around in the White House. So how do you answer that question? Because I don't know if anyone's ever put it to you directly. If you become Attorney General, would you investigate Ken Paxton?

It's so absurd the way these whisper campaigns start. They're done intentionally. I'll tell you first that the big problem is that there's a lot of people in the Austin swamp, which has ever been as big as the D.C. Swamp, that don't want an outsider to come into Austin and shake it up. That's really a lot of what's going on. So these whisper campaigns get started, which are totally and demonstrably false. First of all, I've saw somebody say, Chipproy's going to impeach Ken Paxon. That's not even a thing. Yeah, you can't agree. Second of all, right.

Second of all, I said, well, he's going to investigate him. But for what? I mean, look, there was questions that were addressed in the House and the Senate. The Senate acquitted the Attorney General. The Attorney General is now very likely going to be our nominee for Senate next Tuesday. And look, I've known Ken for 15 years. When I had cancer, I was his first assistant attorney general. Look, I've had some differences of opinion with them.

I've had differences of opinion with lots of people in public office. Welcome to the world. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. had differences of opinion. But at the end of the day, we got to all lock arms together and go beat Tala Rico and go beat Democrats and go beat Nathan Johnson and stave off the absolute insanity that is radical Marxist and radical Islamism that's attacking Texas. So under no circumstances, I'm going to be going after Ken Paxson.

It's one of the most ridiculous things that I've seen out there in the Twitterverse and all of the so-called influencers and the chattering that's going on out there. It's completely false. There's no truth to it. Somebody even tried to say one of those influencers said, he's already got a team assembled to go do it. I saw that too. Yeah. Literally like literally made up nonsense, which I've said is nonsense. But like we've got a job to deal.

Like we're at war. I said it before. They want to take Texas away from us. Let's keep our eyes focused on the prize. How about you take a guy who's got the number one America first voting record in all of Congress, a demonstrable track record of being a lawyer in court, a federal prosecutor, the former first assistant attorney general, somebody who knows these issues very well. And let's get busy working as the Attorney General.

By the way, I've won tough general election races. I beat Wendy Davis in 2020 in an R-plus-3 district. I know how to do it. And that's what we need this fall. There we go. Congressman Chip Roy, also running for AG. And that put that question to bed. So now maybe the Internet can stop gossiping about it.

Amen. We'll talk again soon. God bless. Take care. All right, folks. So I want to tell you about something that actually works. This is the world's number one. expanding garden hose and their newest upgrade. It's the pocket hose ballistic. I like anything that

has the word ballistic after it. I don't have time for cheap, stupid equipment that fails after one season. I am done fighting with it. I'm done with the kinks. Eric Swalwell. I'm done with the tangles. I'm done with the leaks. I'm done with all of it. It's a waste of money. It's enraging. So that's why the pocket hose ballistic, that's why you need to have this thing because it's built different. I could beat somebody to death with this. It's made, it's reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer. Now, you don't know what that is, but you do know what it's been used in before. Bulletproof vests.

So that means, my friends, the strength is real. Real durability. No nonsense. It's not going to mess up your garden. It's not going to, like, tie a knot around you. If you're tied to replacing your cheap hose every year, this is your fix. The ballistic is lightweight. It's super easy to handle.

And I like what comes with it. It comes with the pocket pivot. So no more fighting the spigot. And ladies, it's gold. Where it moves, you move, you move, it moves. It's so simple. It's smart. You're done for a limited time. When you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you're going to get that free. You see it right here. 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. Just text Dana to 6430s. That's Dana to 64000000 for your two free gifts with purchase. Message and data rates may apply. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Michael Bay is set to direct a feature film about two pilots who were rescued from Iran during Operation Epic Fury earlier this year. He's working with the 13 hours writer Scott Gardner and producer Irwin Stoff to make it. This is according to Variety, who reported that, I mean, of course, it's perfect that Michael Bay is doing it, by the way. You know, he did 13-hour secret soldiers of Benghazi. he's done transformers. He's done everything with loud explosions. That's probably him.

But the book, there's a book that's upcoming about the incident as well. And it's based on a book from Mitchell Zuckoff, who, that's not coming out until next year from Harper Collins. But it's already been optioned. And then Garden Hour is adapting the script for that. So it's going to be interesting. And it's, Bay's got a long history of working with the military to add realism. to his films like Pearl Harbor, 13 hours, Transformers, all of that stuff. So that's going to be a very interesting film.

So that's coming from Michael Bay. More than half of what Americans eat is ultra-processed food. This coming from a new survey, a panel of 14 nutrition and policy experts, they recommend identifying ultra-processed foods by their ingredients. But apparently more than half of all calories that are eaten by American adults come from ultra-processed foods. And they're trying to get like a hardcore definition. of it, I guess, to make it. All you have to know is if it's like super packaged and if every little thing is wrapped in plastic, it's probably ultra-process. This is not rocket science. We don't

need the government to pay people to come and tell you the obvious. And 30 seconds of burst activity could be effective therapy for people who have panic disorder. It's just a good thing overall, generally, to do for your health. Anyway, coming up, more fallout from the election. Yes, Massey did lose, fair and square. Stick with us. We have a lot more on the way as we move. our partners over at Noble Gold. It's a great timing for this.

One of the things that we're going to be watching, because now you know Tuesday we got coming up, the election on Tuesday is in Texas, that's going to be the runoff in the Senate race. It's going to be the AG, all of that. And then that's going to be the ultimate determination. Wednesday, I'm going to be unpacking all of that with you going over. Because I'm really interested to see the voter trends have changed from 2020 to now, because it was really interesting.

I talked to you about Republican voting in the 2020 race when Cornyn ran and how he ended up getting, because of split-ticket voting, it's not because of people cheat. People didn't cheat. They didn't just not vote for Trump, and then they were going to cheat. They wouldn't have voted for any Republican down ballot, but that's what ended up happening. But now Cornyn's popularity has waned, especially after the fake bipartisan gun control bill that Joe Biden, that Cornyn worked on with under the Biden-Harris administration. So I'm curious to see how much that impacts, because that's a huge issue with Texas voters. Not just that, but they're concerned about some of the, is of Texas and all kinds of stuff. So it'll be very interesting to track that. And then, of course,

Maine, you've got Graham Platner, who Democrats went from accusing everybody of making it, like, did you just salute like a Nazi? Like, they accused everybody on the right who maybe would sneeze and put their hand in front of their mouth of doing a Nazi salute. Now you've got a guy who literally has Nazi tattoos, and then who recently mocked a U.S. soldier who died trying to protect his squad as saying, quote, the stupid blanker didn't deserve to live. Talking about that, talking that way, but a gold star soldier. Unbelievable. And this is the guy they're backing.

Democrats have no excuse. Today in stupidity, King. Speaking of Democrats without excuses. Cut 11, Juan, this is Bernie Sanders. Man, he sounds a lot like a cheerleader for communism here, but let's hear. I think Trump's actions in Venezuela were illegal and unconstitutional. I think his actions in Iran are unconstitutional and illegal. And I think what he is,

doing now, starting to do in Cuba is unconstitutional and illegal. And I'm sorry. At first off, the 2004 authorization authorized use of military force, if he really felt that way, he would have modified that, which actually includes Iran. So that's a stupid, ridiculous argument from Bernie Sanders. I don't want to hear any accusations of illegal anything because none of these people who've been sitting in these seats the entire time have done nothing to modify that 2004, a UMF. And that's it.

I'm sorry it's happening to him, but he'll get over. He'll get over it. Copencee. I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. I'm going to be back Wednesday. It's Memorial Day weekend. And so, as always, for everyone who has served, we're very, very grateful. And I'll be back with you Wednesday. Watch Substack Chapter and Verse, Facebook X, podcast, all the good stuff.
