Starting point is 00:00:01 Welcome to the program. Here's what's interesting. There's a book that you need to read called While Israel Slept, and it gets into how October 7th happened. And it gets into, in the beginning when they were looking at how the border was immediately breached.
Starting point is 00:00:17 There's a unit, they have a name for it, but informally it's called the observers. And it's a female, IDF female staffed unit and their job, because they've done different assessments of aptitude for men and women And women are a little bit, I mean, it's just the nature of things. Everybody knows this.
Starting point is 00:00:34 I'm not trying to be sexist. Women notice things more than men. They can read a room a little bit better. It's just the nature of women, right? It's that nurturing instinct. Women are really good observers. We can see things. We pick up on body language that men might miss.
Starting point is 00:00:47 That's why I always say girl fighting is way more multi-level than how dudes fight. Dudes fight and they get over it. Women, no, the whole grudges for generations. They're like crows. So they had this female group within the IDF, the observers that were watching the fence. And they noticed all kinds of stuff happening in the days leading up to October 7th. And by the way, I will have you note that October 7th was just the fallback plan. They actually were going to attack in April.
Starting point is 00:01:16 And they were trying to organize it with Hezbollah. And that didn't happen because Israel got wind of it. So they launched their plan in October. And because of different egos and all of them, that within the communities, the Arab communities with Hamas and Hezbollah, Hezbollah did not join in. Had Hezbollah joined in, I don't know that Israel would be standing there today. The thousands of rockets that they lobbed over, and that's how it started. Hamas changed up their tactics. They fired all these rockets over so that everyone would retreat into where are their bomb shelters.
Starting point is 00:01:49 So then Hamas knew where everyone was. They were captive. Then they come in in person. That's what Israel was not prepared for. They thought it was going to be like tunnel warfare. They were going to come up through the tunnels. That's why they were basically, like, basically, like, using all of their concrete to fill in all these terror tunnels. And by using all their concrete, I mean, they were literally blowing through concrete.
Starting point is 00:02:07 The plant that they have that's between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv could not keep up. So you had these group of observers that were watching the fence, and they immediately saw stuff happening. They saw them coming through. They had sent up repeated reports. to the upper echelon of the IDF that were dismissed.
Starting point is 00:02:32 That's the truth of it. I talked to the Brigadier General of the IDF Reserves. He confirmed everything. The book, while Israel slept right in the first chapter, it's incredibly powerful and informative. You should read it. There is this, I think this godlike mythos that has been created around the IDF and their capability,
Starting point is 00:02:52 and they've been, you have to be very defiant, you have to win. You have to win because the option is, you can't entertain the option of not winning. Annihilation is the only other option. So they have to win. But I think that also made them very, very comfortable with expected victory,
Starting point is 00:03:07 and they didn't expect everything. And so when October 7th kicked off at like 6.30 in the morning, they sent a barrage of these rockets, and they immediately noticed it was heavier. In fact, one of the interviews with one of the Nova survivors that is live now on my social media,
Starting point is 00:03:22 that's what she said that when they first heard the rockets in the morning, they're so used to it, they just kind of shrugged it off, but she said she immediately did notice that it was more than usual. And they kept coming, thousands of thousands and thousands. And after they started doing that, that's when they breached the fence. And those observers were like, oh, my gosh, they put it up.
Starting point is 00:03:42 They said, you know, confirm receipt, and they were sending in, like, they had their phrases that they say to denote a serious breach of border and a serious invasion. And they were everything that they could. but by then it was too late. All of those women were killed, by the way. Hamas came in, surrounded all the checkpoints immediately. They knew exactly where to target. They flew in to, like I said, earlier when I talked about this,
Starting point is 00:04:10 when they flew in over the Nova Festival, they did not know about the Nova Festival. They actually stopped and were radioing other Hamas fighters. Circle back because we have a bigger target now. They were actually going to a different kibbutz, which is their name for a town. Kibbutzum is the plural of that. They were actually on their way to one of those different villages
Starting point is 00:04:30 and they saw this, you know, thousands of people here. You ended up, I think it was like over 350 fatalities. They had two security people. One, two. Two security people. So it was pretty wild to see and the border and there isn't a lot of rough terrain. It's a pretty, I mean, they had bulldozers over.
Starting point is 00:04:54 The other thing too that came in is that you had people running from Gaza in flip-flops. When Hamas knocked the fence down, you had just Gazans running over. Hamas was shooting up the town and they were looting.
Starting point is 00:05:11 There's video of it. If you don't believe me, you don't have to listen to what I say. There's tons of video of it all over. Which goes back to my point of how do you, how is the coexistence work with that? How does that work? I think everybody has this
Starting point is 00:05:27 couch crusaders sitting on their fat ass in the comfort of the greatest nation in the world, and they can pass judgment without ever having seen it. I think everybody should have to go over and look just to have a better informed opinion of what is actually going on. The challenge is that I really don't know how you resolve that without total annihilation of an ideology that is so prevalent, it is a culture of religious zealotry. It's not even a political structure. They were talking about they're trying to incorporate education
Starting point is 00:06:11 and teaching people how to be able to speak to each other and, you know, et cetera, et cetera. I mean, do you, do you as a secure state have the runway to see that through to its end with the way things are right now? it's a million dollar question i say no i don't know what the resolution is aside from a very difficult one for our partners that help bring you the program it is uh our friends at relief factor to get relief from everyday aches and pains a lot of supplements out there the industry is it's oversaturated a lot of them make big promises but when it comes to health you want to know if it works and if you
Starting point is 00:06:57 can trust it and that's why so many people like relief factor they won't me to tell you about this guy named Chris, who I guess wrote them. And they said that Chris told them that he spent years doing physical work that left his feet aching every day. And after starting relief factor, he felt so much better. He accomplished something he never done before. He ran a half marathon. Now he recommends relief factor to his friends because he's experienced the difference firsthand.

Starting point is 00:08:08 This is Audio Soundbite 5. So Hassan Piker, the Nepo Baby terrorist lover, had this to say about who the 28 Dem nominee is going to be, watch. Will you endorse the 28 candidates if they are pro-Israel in a way, that you don't like. If you ultimately are about defeating fascism in this country, as you describe it, surely shouldn't you get on board with whoever the main candidate is? Luckily, I don't think I'll have to make that calculation at all, because there is zero percent chance that whoever the elected Democrat is that wins the primary will be pro-Israel in any way, shape, reform. You'll see.
Starting point is 00:08:51 You're really going to let the Nepo baby sit here and talk about him? This guy, like, NEPO Anchor Baby, by the way, I should add. I love people who are like, our family's been over here for a hot second, and now we're going to lecture to every single American about what they can and can't do and what all of their parties are going to look like, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:09:11 It's going to get weird. It's just only started to get weird, just FYI. It's only just started getting weird. So like I said, welcome back to the program. If you missed anything, the podcast, you can go download it from our previous two and a half hours, Also, I got stuff that's out over at Substack 2, which you don't want to miss, including all the Hamas stuff. By the way, this is cut three.
Starting point is 00:09:32 So Netanyahu met with Trump, as you know. Trump now has been at Camp David with the cabinet. They've been out there discussing everything. This is an interesting soundbite in terms of alliances. Cut three. Listen. In the world, Israel is your only ally that is willing to fight an enemy that chants death to America and that is planning to lob nuclear bombs at our cities.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Do we want to wait? Do we want to bet on the future security of the United States that Iran's maniacal lunatics who run them will not throw a nuclear bomb at you? I don't think so. So we should do everything we can to prevent it. And right now you have the Army of Israel, the young men and women of Israel,
Starting point is 00:10:17 the public in Israel, who stand up and say, yes, we're willing to stand up at this moment and stand in the breach with the United States. This is the ally that Mamdani and his ilk are vilifying.
Starting point is 00:10:32 And what is he supporting? Iran. Who is he supporting? Hamas. Was he supporting Chisbalah? You know, how, what moral, what kind of cynicism? What kind of, what kind of absurdity
Starting point is 00:10:46 is this? So there's, you know, also one of the things he touched on was nuclear policy and going nuclear with, for instance, the Saudi deal that, I think we, that kind of, what was that, like towards the end of last week was when news of that, it was the Saudi government, they wanted to develop civilian nuclear energy. And that's kind of how it always starts, right?
Starting point is 00:11:09 Oh, no, just for civilian purposes. Okay, sure. But I know why the Saudis are wanting to do it because they're worried that Iran's going to be able to continue doing it. That's the whole thing. They're terrified. That's why all of these economic deals, that's why I call them Obama-esque. all of the people that have been trying to pull Trump off of his trajectory to pull Trump off his instincts as it relates to Iran, they just want to flirt around with Iran and allow them to continue enriching, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:11:38 And so what that happens, you're going to have a nuclear proliferation that's going to be unmanageable in that part of the world. If they continue, the Saudis are going to want to do it. And if the Saudis are going to want to do it, then the Emirates are going to want to do it. Then the Qataris are going to want to do it. Then everybody's going to want to do it. George, everybody. Is that the path that people want? That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Now, I will say Trump approached it. The administration approached it in terms of, yes, well, we will allow or help, but you have to sign on and normalize relations with Israel and sign on to the Abraham Accords. I thought that was a very interesting pitch that pote us through.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I think he got a lot of, I wasn't, I was watching as closely as I could while traveling, but I think he got some pushback for it. I saw a couple of entities. But really, ultimately, if you're in that position, what other, you really don't have a lot of room to move, but that was a really good caveat to throw in, a real smart one. So we'll see. But Iran cannot ever go nuclear. They cannot ever go nuclear. And I know, look, I mean, believe, we've seen this our whole lives, that they're this close to getting nuclear, they're this
Starting point is 00:12:53 close. Maybe they have been. Maybe they haven't. Do you, do you? want to sit here and flirt around with that time span? I don't know. Here's the thing that I don't like. I don't like the people that are trying to pull Trump off of his instincts because Trump has always been, we're not going to get involved in quagmires, we're not going to have mission creep, we're not going to sit here and prosecute long unending conflict, we're not going to do it. He's always been in and out, in and out. Venezuela was in and out. Dealing with Syria, Soleimani, in and out, in and out, in and out. That's how it has always been.
Starting point is 00:13:33 And I think that that was the plan from the get-go until all of these other, soft Obama-esque post-liberal influences started trying to whisper poison in his ear. Those are the people that get stuff dragged out. Those are the people that ultimately you get mission creep from their ideas. You don't want to have anything dragged out. My gosh, if something has to be done, if something has to be done, you want it in and out, boom, bang, out. That's it. I like the idea of overwhelm.
Starting point is 00:14:12 If you're going to get involved into something, which should be a last resort. And I think after 47 years, I mean, why are people acting like this is not a last resort? Where the hell of these people been? I love these people that think that the day that their balls dropped, that that's when history begins. Stop it. forgive the language, but it's true and you know it. Just asinine. I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:14:37 I'll tell you, too, you want to hear something funny. So I did not have any Rochana moments while traveling. I did not. That's weird. I did not. And we went through a checkpoint because they have checkpoints going into Judea and Samaria, or what you might know is West Bank. Correctly, it's Judean Samaria.
Starting point is 00:14:57 They have checkpoints going in and out, although they don't really check you in. This is a photo I took of a checkpoint. But going out, so the cars that you see that are stopped there, they are exiting Judea and Samaria. We are going through. And they usually have private contractors that handle it. But we didn't get, they pretty much stop almost every car briefly. And they had opened the doors and they just asked, you know, because we have your information, are the people who are on the passports we have?
Starting point is 00:15:29 they in the car and my name was said and I'm like hi it was like class like you know they call your name roll call and that was it and they just I didn't have any issues but you know what I also didn't do I didn't try to go to a military installation so I know where rocana was when he was there near the border when he was by gauze I know exactly where he was he literally was trying to drive into a military installation into that monitored zone right by the fence which is right where Hamas broke through by the way too you can't do that I mean, of course, they're going to stop you, especially when he did not coordinate. Now, nothing that I did was coordinated with the government.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Like I said, it was literally nothing was compensated. It was not planned with the Israeli government. I literally reached out to some of my friends who were Christians who'd gone over to Israel before to help us kind of like coordinate. Who can we get as a guide? How can this happen, et cetera? Now, he went over with an NGO. Rokana went with an NGO. So that's a big difference.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Also, when you're going, now if I had wanted to go to an installation like what he had, I would have had the same experience if you do not then contact someone like you're going to a military installation. If you're expecting to be allowed in there, you're going to have to talk to their government. He never did that. And he did it on purpose. He's a member of the U.S. government. He knows better.
Starting point is 00:16:53 I mean, for crying out loud, if you're going to try to go to Fort Hood or Fort Benning or wherever you're going to try to go down to Coronado and you're going to go to some sensitive areas that require actual security clearances to get passed. Yeah, you kind of need to talk with someone official in order to make that happen. Rokana tried that without talking to anyone beforehand. So that's why he was stopped. And then he tried to make it a bigger deal after he was stopped, like a drama queen. So I didn't have any of those issues. And like I said, Juan just showed you one of the pictures of that, one of those checkpoints. And they have those, obviously, for a reason.
Starting point is 00:17:35 They're required. Now, we put out a video. I had a video, I think it was yesterday, where I talked about if you want to, the closest thing to what the left calls apartheid, if you wanted to have it there, was, you know, couldn't go into Bethlehem. And that's true. Absolutely true. Now, you could walk there if you wanted to.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Can you walk there on molested? Probably not. and this was told to me by Israeli Muslims by the way they were some of the people who were like yeah you should not go there it's not safe for you to go there I'm like why I'm an American Christian and they're like yeah that's just exactly why how sad is that I found that to be incredibly sad I wish that would change but I don't see it changing anytime soon in fact I only see it getting worse so we'll see it getting worse so we'll see
Starting point is 00:18:26 see what happens. And a lot of it comes down to Iran. Because who funds all this stuff? Iran. Who's been helping Iran lately? China and Russia. That's the other big thing. And I'm sure that that's going to be part of the discussions today at Camp David. Because it's not just Iran. When you're talking about having strikes in Iran, it's not just them. Who are they getting assistance from? How did they get a couple of drone strikes that landed on us just last month? That was because they had assistance, most likely, at least what it's assumed. A lot of open intel, a lot of publicly available data says, oh, it looks like it's China that's assisting them with getting past some of the some of that defense in Russia as well. We'll see. But there's a really interesting trifecta
Starting point is 00:19:15 that they are creating. We also, do I have one more thing? I want to make sure really quickly. Can we play 12 before we let this go? This is Katanji, Brown Jackson, completely switching gears, telling Michelle Obama, judges should avoid any impropriety of partiality. Listen. You know, there are lots of limits on what judges can do. I hate her vocal. And I try to be very, very mindful and scrupulous with respect to that because, as you say, our obligation is to be unbiased in our approach. And so you have to then navigate all the sources that could make for an appearance of partiality, which you want to avoid. So there are lots of things that I end up not accepting for that reason.
Starting point is 00:20:09 New sources, I think, you know, I don't have a lot of time. Unfortunately, you know, but I do, you know, the normal general media sources are made available. And I think it's harder when you're talking about there's so much social media now. I know. This is a whole different world. It's a whole different world. And not everything is reliable. And the hardest part for judges is that we really cannot participate. Probably saving you some brain cells too. We need you focused on your opinions. Yes. I mean, they're sitting here talking about avoiding the appearance of partiality while appearing on Michelle Obama's podcast game. Seriously. We have a lot more on the way as we move, our partners that help bring you the program. It's our friends at Superbeats. Great Texas Born and Bread Company, good friends of ours. They've been with us for a very long time.
Starting point is 00:21:02 And I've taken their product for a very long time. I mean, I went through a whole bag and a half of Super Beats over there. It's great especially, you know, just traveling and wanting to make sure that I'm, you know, at my peak. I mean, it's just great for healthy blood pressure. It's great for overall heart health. I mean, it really deals with a lot of things. And it has clinically studied ingredients as well. I mean, you have to think about this. This was founded the whole Superbeats company out of UT's Health Science Center. This was research that was focused on blood flow and nitric oxide. Athletes use this. It's trusted by more doctors, pharmacists, and cardiologists than any other beet brand. And that's healthy blood flow, which supports
Starting point is 00:21:42 heart health, healthy blood pressure, circulation, daily energy, two Tuesday is all it takes. And these clinically studied ingredients that I mentioned deliver two times more effective blood pressure support than diet and exercise alone. Now the watermelon flavor is new. It's great. I got a bag of it. It's gone because I took it over with me and I ate all of it. But it's refreshing. It's great for summer. It's limited addition though. I ask them, I'm like, can we please make it permanent? I don't know if that's going to happen yet. I'll ask again. I'll aggravate. But right now it's limited edition. So when it's gone, it is gone. And it's from a great company, Texas born and bread. They share your values. And this is a legitimate product and it works. Visit human.com slash
Starting point is 00:22:21 Dana right now to get a free 30-day supply before they sell out. Remember the watermelon flavor is limited edition, and I'm already told that they're running low. So that's human.com slash Dana for that new watermelon limited edition flavor. Don't wait on it. Welcome back to the show. It's Friday. I have a top knot. We don't care. We're just going through the hits, going through the news. And then Kane's trying
Starting point is 00:22:42 to scare me half to death about 6G and his cycloseporiasis. I'm just saying. Just saying. Conspiracy theories. No, no, no. I'm going to get into all the meat and potatoes here in a hot second. I need everyone to bear with me.
Starting point is 00:22:55 So what this man is just telling me on break is that it's 6G that's making everyone defecate themselves to death. And that it's 6G that's getting in there. And it's specifically making the field workers deuce all over all of our lettuces. And I don't know how I feel about this. That's literally what you got from what I said. That's what you said. I think people understand now. They've listened to the show a long time.
Starting point is 00:23:16 And you misrepresent my positions. And what you do is like with old people. You don't like, no. I'm like just, no, I say just not old, old people are innocent, not all of them. So you just not old people. And you're like, you hate old people. No, I don't. No, that's literally what you said, though, about the 6G. What I said is that we do seem to, if you go back in history, and you see when we introduce new frequencies and signals into the country, whether it be all the way back to where TV started, radio started, TV started. Now we have Wi-Fi. We've got all this 2G, 3G, G, 5G. They're about to introduce 6G, which I think. think they already have it out there. But I think they're seeding the ground here. I think people have physical reactions of those things. And that's it. Like a poonado? That's the reaction? I mean, that's quite a picture. I would think it's like headaches and stuff. But you're like,
Starting point is 00:24:09 no, they're ducin all over your cilantro. We've gone through the headache stuff. We've gone through all that headache stuff before. I think this is a little different. I think the more they'd introduce, the worse it gets for us. Well, I mean, it could just be like people being gross out in the field. Like, you know, I don't want to go back to the port of John. So I'm going to deuce right here by some lettuce. So people being gross in the field just started? Oh, no, I think it's, but I think it's more.
Starting point is 00:24:33 I don't know. It's just, that is more believable to me than, like, frequencies all of a sudden rewiring people's guts to make them, like, you know. I need you to respect my tinfoil hat more. A turd cano out there in the fields. It's just really. We need to write down these words. I mean, there aren't any. Ladies and gentlemen, we are in uncharted times, and therefore, we need the vocab to help us ferry along. Fair point. I'm trying to just fill in those gaps for us. All right, so we're following everything at Camp David. We were talking about the situation with Hamas disarmament. We're going to get into some of the latest with Iran as well. And then, of course, we've got all the people in Spain. I will say, so I was looking at this island. Let me pull this.
Starting point is 00:25:20 up. Oh, wait, no, wrong platform there. Let me pull this up. So I was looking at this invasion, right, that's in Suta, which is this island off the coast of Spain. Now, there's a little nuance here. Yes, it's Spain, but there's a little nuance. And I'm not getting my nuance from actually any of the legacy press, by the way. I'm looking at geography. So in this, there's, there's a little nuance. And I'm not getting my nuance from actually any of the legacy press, by the way, I'm looking at geography. So in this, they said that it is, I think, total. They've had 41 fatalities, but so far they're estimating 60,000 of these illegal immigrants. I'm not saying the word migrant because that's stupid. We're not talking about people who do what I do and her like, here's my passport. I'm going to scan it and go through. And no, I do not have anything to
Starting point is 00:26:13 declare Mr. Customs or yes, I have something to declare. Well, they're not doing that. They're literally swimming or, although there was some guy, major props to him, he was swimming with his bicycle and dragged it. There's a video. I saw it. I watched it this morning. He dragged his bicycle on. I mean, that's like some dedication. So they have like 60,000 of these illegal immigrants that poor, it's like if you step on a pregnant spider and all the baby spiders go, wow, it's like that. I know that's a gross analogy, but I don't have anything else right now. It's Friday and I have a top knot. I don't have anything else. I'm going to mention my top knot one more time. So they are, they're rushing through this island of Suta. So where's the nuance here, Dana, you're asking.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Okay, well, let's look at the geography just a little bit. So this is a Spanish enclave on an island that's actually closer to Morocco than it is Spain. So that's probably the level of ease. And that gives you insight into the number. I think the Lampedusa story where back in September of 2023 you had not as many. I think you had 3,000 people. That island, I think, had 12,000 people total as to population. And in September of 23, you had 3,000 illegal immigrants that came from North Africa. Now, they actually had to go across the Mediterranean a little bit more to get to that Italian island. So that was a little bit more. This is not that. And yes, it's still a Spanish enclave, but when you look at the map, it's a little,
Starting point is 00:27:50 there's a little bit more nuance there because of where it's located. I mean, when you look at this island, it is legit, I mean, it's right there off the coast of Morocco. I mean, it's just barely separated by a waterway. So it's technically still kind of, at least geographically, I mean, it's like, I don't know how, what is that, a couple hours from Tangier. It's like right there in Morocco. So that's why I think you had 60,000. Now, if they, they didn't, they didn't float across the straight of Gibraltar, right? That would have been insane. They literally just kind of like drove around and then got, they went around. There is a barrier, a land barrier. that separates Suta from the rest of Morocco.
Starting point is 00:28:42 So it's still technically, you know, right there and for the lack of a better way to put it attached. Does that make sense? It's still there and it's still attached. So that's, I think, why I want to talk, like, focus on that nuance there is I don't want people to freak out
Starting point is 00:28:59 and be like, oh my gosh. I mean, it's, it's, it's attached. It's like a, like almost, like a jetty that juts out. I don't have a way to, like a, like a peninsula. It's all attached. So what, but the difference is that there's a land barrier. One might say a border wall. And if they didn't climb over it, what they did is they went into the water around it or they took these little dinghies and just went around. So it's not the same type of like harrowing trip that you saw with some of these boats, like in, um,
Starting point is 00:29:36 go into Greece. Now, Lampedusa is literally between Tunisia and Malta. So it's a tiny little island. It's an Italian island. And it's literally right in between Malta, which is its own tiny little island and Tunisia. And that's, you know, I would say the southeast portion of Sicily. That's off the southeast portion of Sicily. So that is why you only had like 3,000 people that went into Lampedusa. And from my understanding, there's like 12,000 people again on that island. So there's, as far as the number, I just kind of wanted to put that into some context as to why there were 60,000 here and why there were only 3,000 here, because you're not going to see that type of number, at least all at once, you know, invading these other entities. Now,
Starting point is 00:30:28 is it right to call it an invasion? I mean, technically yes. Technically yes, because that's still part of Spain's territory. It's still Spanish territory. And I'm not going to get into the I'm not getting into the back and forth of should they have it or all that. That's, you know, but I just think it's important to put that in context to understand why it was that amount because
Starting point is 00:30:47 apparently there were people who think that there's giant like cruise ships of illegal immigrants going around the med. And that's not the case at all. I mean, it's literally still, I mean, you could walk it. You could walk from Morocco and never have your feet touch the water and walk right into Suda. But over the wall, but they didn't want to go over it. They went around
Starting point is 00:31:04 into the water. So that's why so many people were entering from the water. So that explains a little bit that number. And that's not to downplay the number of people that have been coming in from North Africa at all. I just think it's important to have that context because it's not that this illegal immigration invasion has suddenly ramped up. I think it's been consistent over the period of like eight, 10 years now. And it's not all of a sudden you had just in the span of two days, 60,000. It's It's all of, it's increased. Everybody for it. I mean, it requires attention and it requires a response, but that's why there were so many
Starting point is 00:31:42 that did it that particular day. So, or in that span of time. So anyway, just to give you a little context for that, we were talking, and we're going to get into this more, the situation with this Hamas ceasefire proposal, which I don't think is a ceasefire proposal. I don't think it's, I don't really put a lot of stock into it. We were talking about the president who had announced at the Board of Peace, which is this, you know, you have this, the Board of Peace, which is this UN organization, basically. It's a, well, it's a Peace Board. It's this international organization. And it was named in one of the UN Security Council resolutions dealing with overseeing that Gaza peace plan. And so the president had announced on X and on Truth Social that, there, you know, Hamas is going to disarm. If you read the details, and I included a lot of this
Starting point is 00:32:40 in this, the latest piece over at Substack for you, the, I don't know how you can say it's disarmament, because they literally say they're not disarming everything. By the way, there are Hamas, different factions of Hamas are already saying that they're not going to abide by any of this. So that's your immediate. This is not, this, I don't know if this is just to try to sue things over with, you know, while Iran's being dealt with or what it is, but they're not going to disarm. They're not going to disarm. And then what's more is that they're talking about putting their weapons, and I have no better way to state this other than to call it a terror escrow.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Like they're going to have their weapons basically be put into the possession of like some sort of Palestinian directed committee. What does that mean? They said that, oh, and they also demand Arab states. They want Arab states to pay retirement. compensation. That's not happening. Hamas isn't getting any compensation. Look, remember what Bill Clinton said back, I can't believe I'm, I cannot believe in throwing this to Bill Clinton. This is where we're at. Remember what Bill Clinton said that he had worked with Yasser Arafat and they had offered them exactly
Starting point is 00:33:49 what everybody's been talking about now, this two-state solution. They offered that to them and Israel had agreed to it wholeheartedly and they rejected it. They've rejected it every single time it's come up. It's been rejected. So they've, already had this offered to them, I was in high school when this was going on. Just to give you some, you know, I'm in my 40s now. I was in high school when this was going on to give you an indication as to how long this has been going on. So the idea that they're going to disarm, I think, is a fairy tale, especially when the details of this proposal literally say they're not going to disarm everything. And they're going to keep some of their heavier weapons. Some of the stuff is
Starting point is 00:34:33 going to be placed in this like terror escrow that this, I don't know, I don't know where the committee is going to come from because the Palestinian authorities corrupt and basically Hamas runs that as well. So I don't know what they think they're going to do. Have you ever noticed that most laundry detergent smells like something you'd use to scrub a toilet? I mean, no thanks. Nobody wants that. This is why I love and personally use laundry sauce because it doesn't just get your clothes clean. It makes them smell absolutely incredible for days.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Like, I smell myself right now. It's so good. I want the smell of summer. You want the smell of summer. So you have to try their new limited edition, Brazilian vanilla. So think of whipped vanilla and caramel and coconut and just enough warm woods to make it feel like summer in a bottle. So if you want something a little richer, Australian sandalwood, it's warm and earthy, and it's just one of those sense that lasts. And if you have sensitive skin, they have Himalayan Kashmir.
Starting point is 00:35:26 It's hypoallergenic. It's soft. It's clean. It's seriously comforting. it's not just about fragrance either. Laundry sauce uses powerful bioenzymes to go after stains from barbecues, mud, coffee, anything, all this stuff that happens when you're, you know, living life. And they even have scent boosters, fabric conditioner, dryer sheets, fabric freshener, everything to take your laundry up a notch. So for a limited time, you can get 20% off of your entire order

It's very apropos for those who are watching the simulcast. You don't get to hear the bumper tracks that we roll in with terrestrially because of licensing. It's so lame. Anyway. However, we respect IP. Guys, I got to ask a serious question. I've only been to Maine, I think, for like five seconds, I think. I'm trying to remember. I've been only, I've been only, almost, I've been in every state in the union, except for North Dakota, Montana and Idaho.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Yeah, I've been to every other state, every other state. Having not spent a lot of time in Maine, I need to ask you all, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is going on out there. Now, here's why I ask this. You all remember Graham Platner, right? y'all remember that dude grand platner the guy the oyster farmer who wasn't really an oyster farmer he just like farmed oysters for his mom's restaurant on his friend's island as a nepo baby grew up in a
Starting point is 00:37:21 real nice house also a nazi literally had a totem conf on his tattoo bragged about it he's a fruit right and all of his girlfriends were like he's abusive so you had him then you have this ashley webb feller who looks like, you know, the toad and frog, stories, central casting for one of those characters. It's like a thumb with hair. You have the Ashley Webbfeller. Remember him? I know, his name is Ashley, because he wants to be,
Starting point is 00:37:59 not because he's named after a Gone with the Wind character, because he liked that name because it was a woman's name and he wants to be a woman. And he was running for office. this can we roll tape real quick on this just to remind you because there's way more this was at ashley webfeller again from main right was this the debate question there's there's a lot i don't even know which one you're going to get hit with but just roll it when you got it i know we're getting ready he was at a debate several times didn't win but he didn't run and then um yeah so i'm a
Starting point is 00:38:35 songwriter and then I write my own books and then expose my transparency. I wouldn't lie to people and I wouldn't deceive the people like we're being deceived right now. I'm so, I don't even know what to do with my hands. I'm so awkward. He's trying to deceive us. I can't even get by the mic. He's literally trying to deceive us now to make us believe he's a woman. Yeah. He has one of those, you know how in the Warner Brothers episodes like they make a blink noise?
Starting point is 00:39:05 blank blank like it's him so we got this Ashley Webb feller right but wait there's more guys what's happening here I can't believe I'm having this conversation it is Friday so in Maine again back in Maine you got a guy a feller named Troy Jackson who's decided to run for Senate okay you're like I hear you please be normal there's a catch. Okay, he's a Democrat Senate. Oh my gosh. He's with his second cousin.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Yeah. Like he's bred with his second cousin. They've had kids. I'm going to need a lot of help here because we're going to have a... That's him. He and his partner are second cousins. I don't know if they're married, but they've got two kids. They've got the same great grandparents.
Starting point is 00:40:12 I mean, I guess it's... makes it easier, you know, family reunions than that, because you only got one place to go one time. Let's go to the family reunion. It's the same family, right? I mean, for Christmases, you just go the same spot. Is that the logic? I don't know. It's the second cousin. They've, I don't, it doesn't describe them as being married. He's, he's, they've never legally married, but he's described her as his wife in the past, but they're second cousins. Now, they, in 1985, hold up. I know, I know, I hear you. Main law prohibited marriages to parents, grandparents, kids, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles. They banned first cousin
Starting point is 00:41:03 marriage, but then two years later, they passed an amendment allowing unions, if the would be betroth presented a certificate of genetic counsel and signed by a physician certifying that potential children would have a low risk of being all, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah. Now, he, this is after Grand Platner was through. So this is the guy that they are apparently going to get, they nominated him July 25th at a special party convention. to challenge Susan Collins. This is the guy challenging Susan Collins. The guy who's with his cousin, having kids with his cousin.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Kane? Okay. So, ew. That's all I have. Where do you go? When you read the comments on X and stuff on these posts? Then you realize there are probably a lot of inbred for you. out there.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Well, shut up. Yeah, or at least supporters of, there are some people that say that it's not that bad to get with your second cousin. That's disgusting. When, I don't know. Sorry, I'm not into that. I can't, I can't wrap my head around that idea. But I guess some people can.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Sometimes you just got to throw your hands up. I'm going to tell you all the story. I'm going to tell you a little story. Pull up a chair. So my family is really big. I have a huge family. I am one of 23 grandkids. And that's just on one side.
Starting point is 00:42:56 It's a huge family. And everybody's from Southern Missouri. So the rule was, is if you were going to date someone, I swear I sound like I came from the 1800s. I did not. I came of age in the 90s, in the late 90s, I promise. Our family was just that big. So the rule was, if you were dating someone, you called grandpa and you told him the family
Starting point is 00:43:19 surname of the boy or girl you were dating or you were going to date. I'm not kidding. I don't know if it was just, I don't know. And so there was one, I was a freshman in college, and there was a guy that asked if I wanted to go, you know, on a date, obviously, and play mini golf. and my first thought was I hate many golf this is not happening but I'm like oh
Starting point is 00:43:46 let me check my count let me check and see me and that was me saying I got to call my grandpa and it's the thing we didn't and I told my mom my mom called my grandpa and gave the guy's surname and my grandpa said nope because we've got so-and-so that is with so-and-so
Starting point is 00:44:05 and yeah they somehow fell in the family tree somewhere hands to sky two weeks later somebody in the family kicked the bucket. My mom had to go to the Ozarks to go to the visitation. Y'all know it's a big thing down there in Ozarks. Y'all got to go to the visitation, right? Y'all got to go pay your, J-Zol respects. Respects.
Starting point is 00:44:25 R-E-S-P-E-C-K-S, respects. I kid you not, the dude's dad was there. Because my grandfather was right. So when I met my husband, my husband's family, their original last name was Von Losh. They came from Bavaria. They have a family crest that includes a piece of coal, an axe, and a bear. So I don't know what that means.
Starting point is 00:44:49 And they dropped the Vaughn. They came over a pre-Civil War, and they fought for the union. My husband's great-grandfather was imprisoned at Andersonville. It was one of few that came out. Anyway, when I met him, I had to do the same thing. Had to run the name up to Grandpa. My grandpa was like, we don't have any Germans. We don't have any Germans in our family
Starting point is 00:45:11 because our family ancestry is American Indian and Irish, heavily Irish. And he's like, we don't have any Germans in our family. So we were all right. We were okay. So why are you making that face over there? Kane's eyebrows are at this point off his face and they're floating above his head.
Starting point is 00:45:31 That's not fair. No, it's just, it's shocking. I mean, it's clearly in history, we've developed ways to avoid this genetic, this happen that could possibly happen down the road. So why aren't we sticking with it? Well, so, okay, if you found out, and this is my question, and you tell me what you think, if I, the moment that my mom was like, yeah, grandpa says that that person's like a cousin,
Starting point is 00:45:53 like a second or third cousin or something, I think it was a third. I was like, eh, like any at all idea that I may have been interested or there may have been, it was gone like that. That's how that. It's like that back to the future. scene when he's with his mom in the car. Steve just put, he has two kids with her in Slack. Okay, so Ken, your question, or I'm asking that of you.
Starting point is 00:46:20 If you were told like, oh, no, no, this girl that you were thinking about going on a date with turns out your third cousins or something, you would, would you not be like, right? Yeah. But I would be like, oh, fam. All right. So we can invite them over for like barbecues or whatever, but that's where it ends. Well, apparently, apparently not Mr. Troy Jackson.
Starting point is 00:46:43 He was like, let me get some of that. Let me get on that. Cousin Love, that's what he thought. So I immediately am questioning right out of the gate. The judgment right there. You know what I'm saying? It's a fair point to make. I feel like that is.
Starting point is 00:47:01 I feel like, I mean, this is. This is, I'm dying because Lorraine just said that Ashley Webb looks like meatloaf and drag, and now I can't unsee it. Just give me a second. Just give me a minute. I don't know if Meatloaf and Neil Young had a baby. Oh my gosh. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:47:18 This is not waterproof mascara. It'll run out my face. Anyway, it's Friday. I don't even know what's happening. I just, this is Maine. I,
Starting point is 00:47:31 you know, the stereotype is this only happens in Mississippi, right? This is Maine. It's cold up there. I don't know what that means, but surely, that factors in, this guy, like, everybody else is like, no, that's kind of gross. This guy's like
Starting point is 00:47:46 and it's second cousins. So they legit have like the same great-grandparents. I mean, pull this up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they got the same great-grandparents. Their parents, his parents, his mom and dad, her mom and dad are first cousins. First? Yes. They've been around each other. They've had to have met when they were kids. That's weird. That's weird. No, I don't want that. I don't want, do you want that in the Senate?
Starting point is 00:48:20 I cannot believe that Susan Collins is going to be able to go, yeah, well, I never screwed my cousin. That's going to be able to, it's going to be something she can say in a debate. Yeah, well, at least I never banged my cousin. At least I never, you know, was looking for tail at the family reunion. She's going to be able to say that in a debate. That's all she's going to have to say. Every question. Well, Senator Collins, well, yes.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Well, at least I never decided to treat my family reunion like a live game of Tinder. I mean, she's good, right? I'm gesticulating for those not watching the simulcast. How is that? I don't know, my dude. I don't know. Like, I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:08 I just, this is something that only happens with the Habsburgs. that's why they got the jaw and the teeth like that and the big tongues the hapsburgs Google it so yeah 100 plus thousand people voted for grand platinum not a single damn main voter voted for this cousin lover and this is democracy
Starting point is 00:49:31 in the eyes of Democrats democracy and we're capitalists god bless america we can't do it without the people who make it possible so one of those entities is an entity that is a good option to have when your options are limited. Where it concerns self-defense. I'm talking about the burn a gun.
Starting point is 00:49:51 I carry and I have zero issue. I will sleep like a little baby with a belly full of milk at night with using lethal force against threats against myself or my loved ones. I have zero issue with that. I also know, though, sometimes you've got to go to places where your rights to carry are abridged. Maybe it's private property. Maybe it's a municipal restraint. We also support private property rates because we're not Marxist.
Starting point is 00:50:15 So what do you do? Because you don't want to be defenseless. You want to make sure that you have some kind of an option. This is where Berna comes in. So they have different models. Disregard all of that except for the CL. The CL stands for compact launcher. It's about the size of an iPhone.
Starting point is 00:50:27 There's no recoil, easy target acquisition. And if you think of like stun guns, you know, you got one or two rounds with the stun gun. But with the burn of CL, this thing shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 60 feet away. And you have a 15-round shock of pass. per cartridge. 15 rounds compared to a cup one or two with a stun gun. I think that kind of answers your question for you. It's another tool in your kit. It's something, it's not a replacement. It is an option when your options are limited. And the other thing, doesn't care about gun-free zones
Starting point is 00:50:58 because it's not a gun. So no gun-free zones apply to that. There's no permits. There's no background checks. You literally order it online. They send it to your front porch. Diversify your self-defense options today. Visit berno.com slash dan, to learn more. That's B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Dana. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. I just need him to have a different voiceover person. So apparently, Bobby Kennedy's going to host a cooking show. Dude, I don't know. He's launched a cooking show geared towards teaching Americans how to cook healthy and expensive meals. I'm not against it because I like food stuff. I'm like, what are you doing, though?
Starting point is 00:51:39 It aired Thursday on YouTube. He was working with Chef Andrew Grohl. So they're doing, like, for instance, crispy salmon cakes with apple. I don't like white beans, though. I don't like that, no. I only like black beans. Sounds very sweet.
Starting point is 00:51:52 And refried beans. That's it. And green salads. So they have all of this, you know, they're talking about how to incorporate everything properly within the proper food pyramid. So that's going to be kind of interesting. I'm sorry, but I'm getting a Martha Stewart Snoop Dog kind of vibe from this.
Starting point is 00:52:07 You know, if you've ever watched them cook. Missouri, our home state, show me state, could be the next state to eliminate its income tax and give everybody a raise. Look at that. So August's fourth ballot measure would phase out the individual tax based on revenue triggers. That is actually super awesome. I mean, one of the reasons I love living in Texas is because I gave myself a raise because the tax structure in Missouri was no thank you, ma'am. But they could change this in August. So everybody better get out there and be voting.
Starting point is 00:52:38 A dead space X rocket is about to slam into the moon at 5,400 mile per hour. Yeah, I mean, okay. Five-story chunk of spent rockets been tumbling through space for over a year with nowhere to go, and on August 5th it will finally arrive slamming into the lunar surface near the Einstein crater at roughly 5,400 mile per hour, no parachute, no atmosphere to slow it down, just several tons of dead Falcon 9 upper stage. That's it. That's it.
Starting point is 00:53:06 So it's basically seven times a speed of sound is what apparently it's going to hit at. I want to see that video of it. I do too. You know that they're going to have it. Is there going to be one of them little rovers up there? Oh, that's Mars. That's a little Mars rover. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Let's see. We've got more on the way as we roll, including some lefty stuff. We've got Islamism. We've got a whole bunch still to get you set up for the weekend. Stay with us. So Lorraine caught the story about. how the court has stunned with a ruling that hence Trump a major immigration win, a panel of two Biden appointees and one Trump appointee ruled on the TPS for those quote-unquote migrants from South
Starting point is 00:53:48 Sudan and Ethiopia. So a federal appeals court handed POTUS two immigration victories, reversing a separate district court order that had delayed the termination. The TPS is that temporary, temporary protected status program for the people that were specifically for from South Sudan and Ethiopia. And so they, that's a shocking win. That's really shocking. So did not expect that. I thought that was going to be something we were going to be fighting about for quite some time.
Starting point is 00:54:25 But here, it's not. A couple of other things, let's see. We may have to have more of this tomorrow, but I had this under Islamism. So in, you know, with the full burqa, there was this picture of a lawyer in Nigeria that, I guess, became a barrister or even a judge. They have the full burqa on and then the wig on over it. Now, this came right at the exact same time that in Britain, they had a woman who ended up, I guess she was like, what, British woman of the year, something like that. And it was a full Berka youth club founder that was given an award. word for quote unquote empowering young women and she's in the full black thing with just the
Starting point is 00:55:10 slit for eyes how is that empowering how is that empowering i've never i mean i'm all for modesty but that's like you're it's almost like a veil of shame like you're ashamed and so you're only going to have your eyes out it's like they're only going to the men are only going to allow that it's like what a vampire would wear to be outside during the day yeah it's you're There's literally no skin showing. Zero. You can't tell what it is underneath. No.
Starting point is 00:55:38 And then there's a parliamentary wig on top. Yeah. And then the British woman. So there's been a lot of polarizing opinion about that over in Britain. Because they, she was awarded for empowering young women. But I just don't think of Berka is a, is a benign article of clothing. It's a tool submission. It's a tool of suppression.
Starting point is 00:56:04 It's this claim that, well, you have to be modest, and this is the only choice that you have. It's a logical fallacy. But we'll have more on that next week. In the meantime, today, and stupidity came. All right, Juan, this is cut 10. There's a Dem Senate candidate in Michigan. And by the way, I spent a couple years myself up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Great hunting areas, great land up in Michigan.
Starting point is 00:56:25 It's just unreal. This is what she has to say about the Second Amendment. This is unconscionable. The assault rifles have had their day. That is what I'm hearing from people throughout my district. They're saying that it's time for the assault rifles to go, that we need to ban the bump stocks, and we need to protect our community. What are we doing?
Starting point is 00:56:47 What are we doing? Is she think that's the heart of crime? Are those items that she just discussed? It's literally the least used. Also, good luck with getting past the commonly owned and commonly used, which was upheld, not just in Heller, but also in the Bruin decision as well. Yeah, good luck with that one, meaning no luck at all. not going to ever see the light of day. That does it for us today. So glad to be back in the U.S. of A. Have a great weekend, everybody, and I'll be back behind the mic with you all Monday.
