Starting point is 00:00:01 Welcome to the program. Women's basketball. I like that Sophie Cunningham's Adidas sneakers sold out. That was nice because, you know, she came out. I was out of the country and she had said, came out and she had said that men don't belong in women's sports. That's, I don't know why. That's a controversial thing to say. Apparently it is.
Starting point is 00:00:25 It's like saying two plus two equals four. What? What? It's so offensive. I'm so offensive for, I'm offended for. all the other numbers. They wanted to be the product of 2 plus 2. That's not how it works.
Starting point is 00:00:37 So she was getting a lot of hate for that. And then I saw a video of a Seattle Storm co-owner and players harassing Sophie Cunningham fans who came out to support her after she talked about keeping dudes out of women's sports. Wait, the actual Seattle Storm co-owner was doing this? This is cut 12. Watch this. This is, and apparently the co-owner is now suspended.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Watch. What is wrong with people? What is wrong with people? And weren't they kids that he was talking to? Yes. Yes. Kids. So this grown adult man
Starting point is 00:01:30 with his questionable mustache is bullying kids because they were wearing Sophie Cunningham merchandise? Yes. Some people just don't get their asses kicked enough. I'm just saying. That's part of the thing.
Starting point is 00:01:46 problem today. It's actually a huge part of the problem today. Now, in addition to that, apparently now there's video where people were getting in trouble. WNBA posted and then deleted video of their star players placing a bet on an upcoming game against each other. This is illegal, correct? Yes, it is. Like, on a scale of 1 to 10, like how illegal? 11. Oh, really? Oh. Yeah. Oh. Okay. So, yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah. So, Super illegal. They said it was they were in Chicago for the All-Star weekend, and it was head coach Becky Hammond.
Starting point is 00:02:24 She held a competition that awarded winners with $100 bills, and Angel Reese ended up with $400. In a video that Reese posted, she was talking with Dallas Wings Guard, Page book, how do you say her name? Beckers. And then Reese offered to put money on the line when their teams played one another after the All-Star break.
Starting point is 00:02:43 And, yeah. And everyone was, was WMBA had the video and they posted it on social media and then they had to delete it because that's not legal.
Starting point is 00:02:58 And apparently according to the league's own rules that players should be suspended. Is this not known? Angel made a bet with each other on this game. We did. This is how the rich stay rich. You got to save this money. I'm gonna see you next week on Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Yeah. At night? No, at practice. Oh, I practice. I mean, I know you're going to lose, but if y'all lose, if y'all win, you get it for a hundred. And if we lose, then you get $4.00. Why did WMBA pose this? Right?
Starting point is 00:03:33 Why did they pose this? Why? Holy wow. So are they going to be suspended? How do the rules work on this? Steve, how do the rules work? Are they going to be suspended? Everyone's saying that they should be.
Starting point is 00:03:50 But the WNBA, yeah, it's hard to imagine. The WNBA posted it. So who's supposed to be responsible for the suspension? Yeah. I mean, who's running this league? Right. Hey, guys. Why don't you post a video of you guys making Beth on how well you'll play?
Starting point is 00:04:05 I mean, it's totally illegal, but who? I mean, Pete Rose was kept out. Yeah. The Hall of Fame for this stuff. Exactly. So, and it was, by the way, it was posted by their official. official WNBA account
Starting point is 00:04:19 like verified check mark all that like their official thing posted it and then Reese double down because she won and she was like I'm going to request her Apple I'm going to request my Apple pay so it's under section 5C of the WMBA's
Starting point is 00:04:35 collective bargaining agreement which I'm pretty sure none of these chicks have read maybe their agent should and it says that they if they're found guilty of wage money or anything of value on the outcome score or aspect of the WNBA competition that's subject to find suspicions or outright disqualification. The NBA's never posted anything like that, right?
Starting point is 00:04:59 But wait, here's a big question. So if they're lesbians, can you punish them because they're a protected class, right? Is that not how it works? So only if it's like Caitlin Clark, do they get in trouble? So they can break the law with protection? I don't know. I'm just, I'm asking for a friend. I don't think anything is going to happen from it because I think it should.
Starting point is 00:05:15 it actually shoves the WNBA in a worse light than they currently cannot. Can it be in a worse light though? It's not right now, not in any. So could it be? I mean, they're giving it a shot. We'll see. And we're capitalists. God bless America.
Starting point is 00:05:31 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 burner gun. And 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.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Maybe it's private property. Maybe it's a municipal restriction. We also support private property rates because we're not Marxist. 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.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Disregard all of that except for the CL. The CL stands for compact launcher. It's about the size of an iPhone. 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 capacity per cartridge. 15 rounds compared to a cup, one or two with a stun gun.
Starting point is 00:06:40 I think that kind of answers your question for you. It's another tool in your kit. 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 because it's not a gun. So no gun-free zones apply to that. There's no permits. There's no background checks.
Starting point is 00:06:58 You literally order it online. They send it to your front porch. Diversify your self-defense options today. Visit berno.com slash dana to learn more. That's b.r-r-na.com slash dana. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands upon thousands. storming what they call the EU border. Some of them swam to this island.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I'm looking at tons of photos. Not a single one being a woman. Now, the Spanish president, Pedro Sanchez, said on X that Spanish is fully committed an immediate response to the situation. And Quetta, we're totally dedicated. I don't know if I believe that because didn't he refuse to send in the military? I mean, that's what he's being accused of.
Starting point is 00:07:51 It's the island of Suta. The, or Suta, that's the island, apparently, that they're having this takeover. It's, I mean, it's so similar to Lampedusa, which was a 12 square mile island. It's so similar to what happened in September of 23. Here's another video. Look how many women you don't see. All military age men. Interesting that.
Starting point is 00:08:19 All men coming in. All men. Not a single woman. Do you see any babies? I didn't see any babies. None. I didn't see any. So weird that.
Starting point is 00:08:31 So all of these people coming in to the suit of the Spanish island. Now, I had up here as well. Pedro Sanchez was tweeting out. how they're, because he was accused, you know, he's being criticized for not sending in the military. He said they're going to provide an immediate response. They're mobilizing all necessary resources. This is the time to build solutions and a bunch of BS that I don't care about. So, I'm curious. You realize that Morocco is pretty much 99 to 100% Muslim. That's an invasion. What you just saw, that's an act of war.
Starting point is 00:09:14 It's an invasion. You have all of these people coming in, military age males, that is absolutely an invasion. There's no other way to put it. No other way to put it. Storming the border, climbing up, charging up the beaches, all of it. You know, I was thinking about this when I saw this story. Now, I'm going to bring these two things together, so bear with me. In the United States, and that's the Spanish leader's tweet.
Starting point is 00:09:41 In the United States, there was a listing for, I'm going to bring the tugwift ashore, for a Colorado home. It's being sold with the occupants living inside who don't pay rent. It's a three-bedroom, two bathhouse. This is how it's listed on Zillow. They're asking $215,000. Buyers won't be able to tour it because it's being sold site unseen because there's squatters in it. They have squatters in the house. I think you should be able to exercise as a homeowner capital punishment upon squatters.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I absolutely do. I am so tired of this nonsense. They make it to where good people have their property stolen and the state assists it. So they had this real estate company. People were really weirded out by it. It said it's being, the way that it looks, the way that the property listing is,
Starting point is 00:10:31 they said it's being sold, occupied site unseen because of the squatters living in it. They said that the listing agent does not have access to the property, has never been inside the property, cannot speak to the condition of the property, anything else because of people's squatting in it. So people can't do what they want with their own property because they have squatters in their house. This is not unlike what you've been seeing, whether it's at the border in Spain or anywhere else. Not at all unlike it. This is fascinating. You're having the same thing happen here with this Colorado story,
Starting point is 00:11:08 what you're seeing happen in Spain and elsewhere. So this, Plus, I got a lot of stuff to get with you today because we've got the latest with Iran as well, because of all hell, we started, what did, how did Potos say, beating the S out of them? Is that what it was? How did he say it? What was the quote? The effing S? Yeah, the effing us out of them. So we apparently started that yesterday, yesterday evening with Iran. And of course, you had Netanyahu who's also visiting the White House. We had drone strikes. We had two tankers that were hit. Apparently two ships and an apparent drone strike. at an Egyptian port off the Mediterranean coast, two ships, including a U.S. storage tanker, according to maritime tracking firms. One was a natural gas storage tanker, and that caught fire after a drone attack. And they said there was no official confirmation from Egyptian authorities or the ship's owners, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:12:02 How long are we going to jack around here? So we're watching all of this stuff as it happens with Iran. Iran has hit our interest. took out several of our service members. The drone attack in Egypt, now it looks like it's going to expand the fighting. There was smoke coming up, sent com announced yesterday,
Starting point is 00:12:22 or no, sorry, sent com announced earlier today that they launched these new strikes on Iran. And I don't think we have any video footage of that yet, but it's happening. And POTUS, even when he was talking to the press, made it very clear that he was pretty much out of patience with all of this. Completely understandable.
Starting point is 00:12:41 would be as well. Like I said, he met with Netanyahu. He was speaking with the press about this yesterday. He was talking as well about everything with Iran, et cetera. But, I mean, it looks like it was a very productive meeting. And one of the other things that seems to be, that's of note, is apparently previously, and it's come up, and I was reading some reporting from Amit Siegel and others that the United States has been using Israeli air bases, where they've always been kind of careful about that before. But Iran is too nervous to strike Israel directly. They've only done that kind of once before,
Starting point is 00:13:20 and we talked about it on air, because when you do that, all hell threatens to break loose, and they're going to have not just the Saudis to deal with, but they'll have the Emirates. They'll have, I mean, really even Jordanians, they're going to have everybody to deal with at that point, because all of the other Arab League nations are tired of Iran.
Starting point is 00:13:40 So they haven't done that directly yet. But it's interesting because now the U.S., apparently, according to reports, is using Israeli air bases in order to carry out some of these strikes against Iran, after Iran fired upon our interests. There was an interesting piece that I saw, or we're going to discuss this coming up after headlines. And we have later on we're going to talk about the stockpile and the space. spin around that with General Kellogg. But the story that that I saw trending all morning was Trump exploding, losing his temper during a security meeting, shouting and cursing out a frustration over the military options presented to him and the lack of progress towards a deal with Iran per NBC. And they said after all this time, there's no unity. That's because all of
Starting point is 00:14:30 these establishment types who railed against POTUS even before 2016, but some of somehow wormed their way into his administration, they need to stop kissing up to the mullahs and stop pushing their Obama-era policies, stop undermining potus, and get on board with the man actually elected to do the job. I love working with the crew at fast-growing trees, especially this time of year when everything's in full bloom and you can actually, you know, see your yard come to life. Fast-growing trees is America's largest and most trusted online nursery with thousands of trees and plants and more than 2 million happy customers. And summer is the perfect time to upgrade your outdoor space with fast-growing shade trees like maples and hybrid willows or heat-loving plants
Starting point is 00:15:14 like crate mertles and hydrangees and hibiscus, which I have. And I love and they absolutely thrive in summer weather. So what I like is how easy it is. They make it very easy. They match the right plants to your climate, your space and even how much time you have to take care of them. So be honest when you're looking at it.

Starting point is 00:15:55 In the meantime, guys, Hunter Biden. It's all your fault, Kane. It's all your fault because you were the one who found the story. So apparently, you're going to want to hear this headline. Let me share with you the NPR taxpayer-funded government provda headline. And I quote, Hunter Biden says being stripped naked in the public square was a gift. Oh, I'm not even done. So he's been on, I guess, a podcast tour, so to speak. And he says, quote,
Starting point is 00:16:30 I was given the gift of being so publicly shamed and humiliated and literally stripped bear, in some cases literally stripped naked in the public square. I had nowhere to hide, nowhere left to hide. We saw your hide. I had no secrets that I could keep, end quote. Who stripped you in the square hunter? Who took off your clothes hunter? Was it you?
Starting point is 00:16:57 Because you took off your own damn clothes, cavorting with hookers. and bragging about your crack stash, what in the world? He's the one who did it to himself. He is the one who burned our eyeballs out by stripping naked, any KKID, and recording himself, so many recordings and so many pictures. And he was the one who uploaded, he had like, didn't he have like a porn channel or something that he uploaded stuff to in addition to just putting everything on his last? Like he had at one of those porny sites, didn't he have like his whole channel that he put his stuff on?
Starting point is 00:17:41 And that's how, because not everything was obtained from the laptop. Apparently a lot of those videos were obtained from his little porny channel that he had. We're all so grossed out. It's like athlete's foot if it was a person. And so he now thinks that I guess it's a virtue. I'm trying to understand how he's spinning this. He said he was given the gift. He was the one who recorded himself doing it.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Can we be real with this? How real do you want me to be? Oh, my God. I want you to be so real with this. Because the honest part of this is the media and the left did everything they could despair him from the true quote unquote public square. That's what they did. And him complaining about the fact that he was actually protected that much in the media to the point where they said it was Russian disinformation. information. This is what we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Remember how the media shamed you. How dare you? How dare you attack the president's infant baby fetus child? Hunter Biden. His almost 60-year-old baby fetus. Hunter Biden. They infantilized him. They acted like this was like
Starting point is 00:18:56 some just misunderstood kid instead of a, what, 56, 57-year-old dude? with the children as old as us. They were trying to make you think that he was just this little baby hunter. You can't, how dare you go after the president's son who stutters, by the way? Have you heard about the president stutter? Why do you hate stutterers?
Starting point is 00:19:19 That's the kind of stuff that the media did. They over and above protected this guy. Over and above. They shielded him. Do you remember hearing about how his, wait, I mean, I'm sorry, I got to get it straight. The sister-in-law, wait, ex-sister-in-law, lover, late brothers, ex, late brother's wife's, yeah. That became his girlfriend that he also got hooked on drugs.
Starting point is 00:19:47 And then she stole his pistol and literally threw it, literally threw it in a trash can at this boogie supermarket that's directly across the street. If you look on Google Maps and we showed you at the time, directly across the street from an elementary school. and Secret Service had to get involved and retrieve the gun. Did you hear the media talking about all of that? No, you didn't. Because the media was protecting infant, baby, fetus, almost 60-year-old, little baby Hunter Biden. That's why. And he acts like, I was so publicly shamed and humiliating.
Starting point is 00:20:19 You were publicly ashamed because you publicly decided to publicly upload your public videos where you were publicly getting naked, your flaccid white ass out there in front of America. You did that to us. I'm traumatized. I am traumatized. Are you, I feel like we, we, there's a class action, something here. I deserve compensation. I, too, also deserve said compensation for having to witness that.
Starting point is 00:20:46 It was all over everywhere. You couldn't get away from it. Cavorting around with these like trashy hookers. And they were trashy hookers. I mean, you know, if you're spilling over your corset just a bit, like muffing in, out, maybe spend the couple extra dollars, just saying. But that went to the crack, right? Wasn't he, like, bragging about the size of rocks that he had?
Starting point is 00:21:08 I can't deal with this stuff. I can't. And now Biden's like, now Hunter Biden's going, I wanted to go in the Lionsden with people that have pursued me the most vociferously over the past several years. No, he's going on with, like, little Hitler's. He's going on with Groyper. That's who he's going on with.
Starting point is 00:21:25 And then they're paling around and acting like they're BFFs. because it's horseshoe theory. They are all the same person, that they are really all the same ideology. Does he actually think, remember he was pardoned because he was convicted back in 24 of a federal offense because of his Elyde on his 4473. Now, any one of us would have been completely in trouble.
Starting point is 00:21:47 We would have had the book thrown at us, but not infant baby Hunter Biden because he got a full pardon by daddy. After daddy told everybody that he wasn't going to pardon him, which we knew was a lie. he knew was a lie. So listen to this sentence, because Hunter Biden was acting like, well, he said, if my dad had won, he would have kept his word.
Starting point is 00:22:06 He would not have pardoned me. So, you know, he pardon him because he lost. That was it. If he's going to lose, he's going to pardon me. This is the dumbest thing ever. Remind me of the Parmesan cheese thing. He had bragged in an interview that he smoked so much crack that he's probably smoked more parmesan cheese than anyone.
Starting point is 00:22:26 else because when you see, like if you're addicted to crack, I guess you're seeing those little white little parmesan cheeses and you think it's crack. So he's smoked parmesan cheese. I know that the family's hard up for money because Joe Biden's book bombed. Nobody cared. Oh wait, I forgot. Joe also has a book that is supposed to be coming out and he did that cut that ad for it and he couldn't even talk. So this isn't written a book. How dare you make fun of the president's daughter? So they need money. Why doesn't he just like revive his, you know, only Ham's channel, right? Why doesn't he just do that and just make money for his family that way?
Starting point is 00:23:07 He's got to do something, I guess. I don't know. But they're clearly hard up for cash. Hard up for cash. By the way, now speaking of Hunter Biden, there's meth pipes that are taxpayer funded that are going to the homeless. Homeless meth pipes cut for tax payer. funded meth pipes. How much is a meth pipe?
Starting point is 00:23:31 I don't even know. Watch this. This is, is this? No, sorry, cut nine. Cut nine. I lied. I lied to you. It's not cut four. It's cut nine. Sorry. This is a meth pipe. I didn't get it from a drug dealer or Hunter Biden. I got it from a government-funded nonprofit
Starting point is 00:23:45 in the middle of Los Angeles for free. This is the Skid Row Care Campus. It opened last year with a mission to do harm reduction. That might sound nice, but in reality, in reality, they're handing out drug paraphernalia to the homeless. So people can do more drugs. We went inside with a hidden camera to see exactly what was going on. We have oil burning. We have chlorine jelly.
Starting point is 00:24:10 It's simple. The staff gives out free pipes, needles, and drug supplies. And the homeless smoke crack and shoot fentanyl in the courtyard. No treatment, no rehab, no rules. See that chain that dude on his nose? Yeah. I wouldn't cheat. Taxpayer funded meth pipes. So people can still, they can do more drugs.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Taxpayer funded meth pipes. I, how much do you think something like that goes for? What is a state program like that? This is one of the craziest things I've ever, I think I've ever perhaps seen. California's known for wasting billions upon billions. So I would imagine it's probably in that range, a billion. Well, remember, they went through billions. billions with their they were going to try to help the homeless et cetera and it didn't you know so right now
Starting point is 00:25:00 apparently the program that operates it's homeless health care Los Angeles H HLA they get about 12 million a year in government funding to operate their clinics and needle exchanges and distribution counters so that's 12 million dollars and then the California overdose prevention and harm reduction initiative which is called copy and they get 61 million for a four-year period to fund. So you're looking at millions upon millions upon millions of dollars that's funding all of this. That's what this is. And that doesn't even include some of the federal grants that they get as well, because they also get federal grants. For instance, the federal substance abuse and mental health services administration, they previously allocated a $30 million harm reduction
Starting point is 00:25:49 program grant. Oh, this is, and they got the safe smoking kits. Mm-hmm. And everyone just stands out there and smokes meth, and that's how they do it. They make people easy in their addictions instead of empowering them to overcome them, because you can't have a captive audience if they're overcoming their drug addictions. And they're going to go for the people who are giving them the free paraphernalia. I mean, the only thing they're missing is an actual crack rock out there. Does meth come in rock? I don't know. What form does meth come in? I don't really actually know. I don't know enough about my drugs on that. all I know is can't you make it with the stuff under your sink for the most part yeah I think it is oh meth I don't know
Starting point is 00:26:32 I don't know what how you make something fun where's Walter White when you need it? Yeah no joke I'm terrified to Google this oh I googled meth recipe and it said I cannot provide actionable instructions for creating meth that's what AI told me but you know but Vanderbilt University's got me it came in clutch let's peek yeah so you need
Starting point is 00:26:51 oh this is why you can't buy Sudafed without anyone thinking that you're a, you know. So apparently, to make meth, you have to have ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, alcohol. I think it's aphedron. Ephedrine, whatever. I don't care. I can't even pronounce this stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Tulin, which is brake cleaner. Ether, which is engine starter. Sulfuric acid drain cleaner. Methanol, gasoline additive. Lithium, camera batteries. Oh, so they're green. Oh, a gun scrubber. Triclithelan.
Starting point is 00:27:21 And then you got a farm fertilizer, ammonia. sodium hydroxide, lie, red phosphorus matches, iodine from a vet product, sodium metal, which can be made from lie, table or rock salt, carousine, gasoline, muriatic acid, can't fire fuel, paint thinner and acetone. So then they, no wonder all of it blows up all the time. Who came up with us? Right. That's a precise list. So this is like when I was a kid and I used to go into the bathroom. and mixed shampoo and conditioner and, like, toothpaste and be like, I'm a chemist.
Starting point is 00:28:00 This is my potion. It's like the same thing, but then they snorted it. Good heavens. I hope AI now doesn't think I'm a drug addict. It's going to think I'm a drug addict, isn't it? It's going to be like, this chick is smoking meth or snorting it or whatever. She's doing the meth. Yeah, she's making it.

Starting point is 00:29:48 Last week, I was mostly in a sprinter van with a friend of mine touring a country and we're going to talk about that. But there's so many other things on the table that we all. also have to hit. You guys are very familiar with our good friend Jason Rance. He's on Fox. You see him on Fox all the time. He was just actually beating someone half to death with logic on CNN. I think it was last night. And you can catch his show on Seattle Road 770. It's so good to see you, my friend. Whenever you go on CNN, I just want to get popcorn ready and just sit. Just watch. It's always fun. I enjoy debating folks, especially on the topics that everyone wants to talk about right now because I think the
Starting point is 00:30:24 arguments are clearly on our side. Yes, I would completely agree with you. I think that they, I think that they absolutely are. Okay, I have to ask you where to start because we've had, let me start with the Fauci stuff, because all of that, the hearings, everything that happened yesterday, I think most of us know, you know, this guy is kind of a malignant narcissist, I say kind of that's doing a lot of heavy lifting. It was just really, we had a lot of things confirmed, but I think what a lot of people are wondering is, what is the point if nothing comes from it. And I know that he's been issued a pardon under the previous administration, but I also know that that's inapplicable on a state-by-state level. What is your take on some of these AGs?
Starting point is 00:31:04 Are they, I think there's one state already that's launched an investigation, but I've only heard of one so far. Yeah, I mean, look, we don't know what's going to happen. We heard from Ralph Norman, if he's the next governor in South Carolina, the indicates that he's interested in pursuing this as well, I believe. So we'll get a better sense of things. It's going to be a little bit hard, I think, at the state level to go after Anthony Fauci. I think, I will say in fairness. It wasn't just Dr. Fauci who was the problem in all of this. There were a lot of folks who pushed us down the wrong path and then tried to cover it up. And I said this last night actually on CNN of I gave deference to Fauci and others. And I still would for the first few months. This was a novel
Starting point is 00:31:46 coronavirus. We were not experiencing this in our lifetime. And there were going to be mistakes. The question is when you realize they were mistakes, when the science very clearly was saying something different than what we were being told, when did you pivot? And why did it take so long to pivot? And in some cases, they didn't pivot at all, right? We learned very early on that kids are barely impacted by COVID unless they were already really sick to begin with. We knew that the biggest threat were to folks who were older or morbidly obese. And we didn't change any of the guidance whatsoever. And we had people's lives and careers destroyed as a result of asking, in some cases,
Starting point is 00:32:25 honest questions and others pointing out the science wasn't necessarily matching with what we were being told. I don't know if ever any of us will be satisfied with any kind of punishment towards the people responsible. I'm not going to hold my breath and think that there's going to be any consequences to Anthony Fauci beyond. And I think this piece is important, publicly calling him out and exposing precisely what it is he did and what he was saying behind the scenes in the diaries versus what he was saying in public. I think there's a huge chunk of the American public who have no idea who aren't actually tracking this story very closely and are still following for a lot of the left-way media spin
Starting point is 00:33:03 on what it is he's doing. If you watch certain coverage or read certain coverage, yesterday he was the victim. That's how he's being portrayed, that he was the victim of these evil Republicans who were trying for no reason whatsoever to throw them in jail. And that's all they know. And so the more we're able to highlight what it is he did and how he did it, I think the better it is for everyone. And it helps at least ensure that something like this doesn't happen again. Yeah, well, I hope so. And I think that's, how much of that also weighs into the sustaining anger that people have? Because I look back, I, you know, I had a son in college, and he was stuck in his dorm for months and months and months. And I look back on
Starting point is 00:33:42 that period and I'm like, why didn't I as a parent just bust down doors and just drag him home and say enough is enough? And I, how much of that factors into this like anger? Because the left is like, why is everybody still so angry all this time? And it's well, it's because people, as you just said, you know, they lost their businesses, lost their livelihoods. People were suspended on social media for asking questions. But then a lot of it is kind of a personal inventory. Like, did we resist enough immediately? And how does that play into the future? I mean, give me your thoughts on that. Yeah, my guess is we're going to be more resistant to something, and something like this will happen again within our lifetimes, most likely. There's going to be another pandemic, and how we
Starting point is 00:34:21 respond is shaped entirely by what just happened to us over the course of several years, and that's not good for public health, right? I mean, they brought this on themselves. There's going to be a time in which we're going to get good faith, honest guidance that we should be following, but people are going to be skeptical as to whether or not we're being told the truth because of how much lying they did. And they could step forward today and make a lot of this a little bit easier. If Fauci comes out, he doesn't have to do it under oath. He can do it in an interview.
Starting point is 00:34:53 And just says, sorry. He simply says, look, I made decisions, whether or not we believe this is another thing. But he could say, I made decisions that I thought were right in the moment. And I said some things with the good intent of trying to save lives. I got a lot of it wrong. I got some of it right. I got a lot of wrong. And I am sorry, I apologize.
Starting point is 00:35:13 If he said that, the people in charge said that, it does take away, I think, a lot of the anger, because the American people are overall, we're very forgiving his people. We're happy to forgive people who are apologizing in good faith and have learned something. But he hasn't apparently learned anything.
Starting point is 00:35:30 And I think he's just trying to, again, pivot into him being a victim, which then makes him a whole lot more money, because I'm sure there'll be another documentary about the persecution of Anthony Fauci. Yes. And he'll get another any leave of its spread in what was it, in style magazine or something like that.
Starting point is 00:35:46 We're talking with our good friend Jason Rance. He hosts his own show on Seattle Red 770. You can watch him on Fox and CNN. I want to pivot with Iran. The president met with Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday. It seems like they had a pretty good conversation. But then the headlines came out today about the division within the administration.
Starting point is 00:36:02 And it seems as though Trump's instincts because if there's one thing that he's always been consistent on, it's been Iran. And I joke, I'm like, I feel like he's had this position since we, before we were alive. I mean, he's always had this viewpoint on Iran. And he started out strong, and then it seemed as though he got stuck in the weeds. And how much of that is from the other voices in his administration. I think we're starting to see that, like it'll come to fruition. A lot of it seems like 2028 posturing, but that's another issue. But I wanted to get your take on the push forward and the strategy forward because it seems like America's patience for conflict is tied directly to how many
Starting point is 00:36:39 pauses we have between like this kinetic action. What is your thought on this? He's caught in a tough spot. There are politics at work here. And it's obviously different for president who's not up for re-election, but we're heading into a midterm in which his agenda could be completely stymied with too much power going to the Democrats. That's what the reality is for him. Is there some jockeying for 2020? Probably a little bit. I have no problem with members of his administration debating this fiercely.
Starting point is 00:37:10 They should be debating it. And I don't want him surrounded by people who are saying just one thing. I think we are all better off if he's being challenged. His preconceptions are being challenged, even by people who are just challenging it for the sake of challenging it.
Starting point is 00:37:23 These are big decisions that come with enormous implications. I don't like that it gets leaked. I don't like that it gets into the media. I don't like that it then gets framed as this kind of division that's anything outside of the ordinary. I imagine there's always division within every single administration, Democrat or Republican in issues of war.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Again, I'm okay with that division. I want that kind of division because it at least makes people question whether or not they're making, yeah, it gets you to question whether or not you're making the right move when lives are on the line. I think his instincts on this are correct, but I do think the American public are not interested. whether or not we think they could have done more to, you know, quote unquote, sell this to the American public is a valid debate. But clearly the public isn't buying it. And that includes some
Starting point is 00:38:11 Republicans, loud voices within the Republican Party. I think some of those loud voices are the crazies, are the fringe who believe that America First is inherently isolationist, which it never was about isolation. It was, you can be America first while also engaging in wars that help America It doesn't mean that Israel never gets help. It doesn't mean that any of our allies don't get help. It's a simplistic view of people who just are anti-war to their quorum. That's fine. But it shouldn't be dictating policy.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Right. That's it. I completely agree. Before I let you go, we were in Israel last week. And we were, I was joking. I mean, we were that we spent, I mean, up and down the entire country in a very well air-conditioned sprinter van. Thank heavens.
Starting point is 00:38:57 But I'm curious, one thing I did not ask you when we were there because, you know, we would see each other at dinner and that is what was the thing that really just rocked you the most that you saw, that you are going to really take that with you going forward? And I think for, you know, and I would encourage anybody to go over and walk through the amazing history and see everything. I mean, it just is mind-blowing. But for you personally, what had the biggest impression on you? it wasn't necessarily a single moment. It was the entire experience of being within the culture and kind of living in a place that is under constant threat of not existing. And certainly the history of Jerusalem, the city of David,
Starting point is 00:39:42 visiting, you know, Judea Samaria, going up to Medulla, the northernmost city. And then technically, although for just a moment, stepping into Lebanon, like, That was a little nerve. It was. Knowing the threat that exists, when we were in the West Bank, it was like the next day there was a terrorist attack not too far from where we were.
Starting point is 00:40:05 And just seeing people go about their lives and speaking so passionately about what it is they stand for, what it is they believe in the pride that they have in their country and in their communities, that's what sticks with me. It's the pride, you know, as a proud American, I have that. pride of this country and I would fight to the death to protect it. We're just not under that kind of threat. We're under different threats. We have crime crises in our cities and our communities and there's obviously the political stuff, but living in a country, I couldn't imagine living in Israel under that threat and being as calm as everyone was. Right. And just going out and getting your coffee and then
Starting point is 00:40:46 walking past like a house that had been bombed in, you know, just like going on with your, you're right. It is, that is very drawing. But there was something very American about that plucky, joyful determination to just like, no, no, no, we're going to live free. There was something very American that I recognized in that. So that was neat. Well, I'm glad that we were, that we had that experience. And it was, it was very fun.
Starting point is 00:41:10 There was a lot of, there was a lot of fun moments. But it's so good to see you, my friend. I would love to have you back. Always good to see you. Jason Rance. You can hear him on Seattle Red 770, host of the Jason Rant show and go get his book, What's Killing America? inside the radical left's tragic destruction of our cities. My good friend, Jason, thank you so much,

Starting point is 00:42:46 And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Somebody decided to take a little souvenir from Fort Morgan down in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Y'all want to have any guesses to what that souvenir could be? It was some historic cannonballs. Now, it takes some big cannonballs to take some cannonballs, let me tell you. And that's exactly what happened. TSA found five cannon balls. It was on July 18th because the TSA officer was like, is that a medicine ball?
Starting point is 00:43:17 Like, what is this? On his x-ray machine? and they had no idea if they were explosives so they had to bring out the explosives people and all this other stuff and the sheriff's department and they ended up not containing explosive material because, but the official said the passenger had no idea how the cannonballs were taken.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Are you kidding me? I don't know how these cannibals got into my carry-on luggage. It's just a mystery. Don't even know. That's literally what they said. They had no idea. Didn't notice the weight difference? Nothing, huh?
Starting point is 00:43:52 Five cannonballs? Come on. A bride to be was accused of setting fire to a church building while preparing for a wedding. Bridezilla. Woman was arrested. She was sent up for her wedding. It was supposed to take place the next day. Lenita Joy Moreno was arrested facing aggravated arson charge.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Oh my gosh. So apparently they were setting up for the wedding and they were about to leave. The fire alarm went off. People were grabbing the fire extinguisher. And apparently, they, she did it with lighters, apparently. She grabbed lighters and she stole the lighters.
Starting point is 00:44:32 The fire caused more than $108,000 in damages. So, yeah. So she started a fire within the church while all these people were inside still. So she's going away for a lot of, she's got a lot of charges on her right now. Let's see, a woman wins a settlement after her bladder was removed during
Starting point is 00:44:49 a surgery for a benign cyst. What? Mm-hmm. Emily Mitchell, everyone's like, what's the hospital? It was in Kennebec County. It's in Maine. And it was at the Northern Light Inland Hospital and Northern Light Health. It's apparently one of the largest medical malpractice awards because she won in Kennebec County.
Starting point is 00:45:11 It occurred in March of 23. She went in for a benign cyst removal and they apparently took out her whole bladder. and wow I can't even imagine what that was like her life has been hell obviously and she has the permanent effects of the injuries after the original
Starting point is 00:45:30 operation she had to have she has to have a catheter multiple times a day I mean she is like in it so yeah they oh my gosh can you imagine is this what happens when you have like AI like everybody cheats on everything with AI
Starting point is 00:45:46 right like the doctor like the the college professor who hid white text in one of his exams and everybody failed it. Makes me wonder, everybody but two people, sorry. They said that now apparently, this is a sad story. There was a teenager who was killed by lightning in Denver, Colorado, while trying to protect their younger brother. It was a teenage boy, was killed, another seriously injured. There were two other adult males in the same group that had minor injuries.
Starting point is 00:46:13 And it was on Mount Blue Sky. and the family, how horrible a 15-year-old killed he was trying to shield his younger brother. They airlifted him to an area hospital. He didn't make it. They airlifted others to hospitals as well, but that's terrifying. They said that around every, if you're curious as to how many people are struck by lightning, about 300 people on average every year across the country, 30 of them are killed. So on average, you're talking about 30 people killed from lightning every year.
Starting point is 00:46:41 That's terrifying. So remember all the times your mom and granny? we're telling you get out of the field get out of the pool get out of whatever when it's lightning listen to them because they know a little something about little something right it's called statistics so that's a horrible story and if you missed anything
Starting point is 00:46:56 make sure you go back to the podcast and check it out because there's all kinds of we have everything saved and some of it's already out on social media don't forget the substack either and I think I'm going to be on with Jesse Waters tonight I think it's going to be about Hunter Biden
Starting point is 00:47:11 oh he's so gross He sweat. He looks like one of those, you know how you see some people and you're like, you're one of those perpetually sweaty people? You know what I mean? Like him? Like he just can't scrub him clean enough. I don't know. But I'll let you know. I'll be on X or Facebook and we'll have an update on that. In the meantime, definitely make sure you check out Substack because there's all kinds of new stuff that's gone up over there, including some of the hand-wringing about the Ken Paxton Senate race as it relates to cash money. And then, of course, some of the video you might have seen that I did just like, because we have longer versions of this coming out, some of the people that I talked to when I was over there in between looking at all the holy sets where my Lord and Savior was walking, also talking to hostage families and survivors and kind of getting, you know, like an actual in-person view of the lay of the land over there instead of relying on activists or whatever, somebody else's. agenda. I will say, I think most of it's bots, but there are a couple of real ones out there. The ridiculousness and the comments on that is always entertaining. So I will remind people, especially the drive-bys. Those of you who fellowship with me every day know, but for the drive-bys who are out there, I will monetize the ever-loving hell out of you, and I will take all that money and donate it to A-PAC or buy myself a buttload of ammo. So try me. That's my pronoun. Try me.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Be a daisy if you do. I'm so not even joking. I am so ridiculously serious about this. Because I already had some Canadian that was like your, and it was true. Like I said this yesterday, I couldn't go to Bethlehem because my security could not be guaranteed. And I had actual like Israeli Muslims going, yeah, that would be really stupid if you did. So I didn't. And I'm like, that's, you know, you want to, if you want to have like the, for the left to say that everything's apartheid, that's the closest thing to the apartheid they're talking about over there.
Starting point is 00:49:14 there were some people there's some canadian that threatened to get froggy and i'm like i just showed him my ma dues like you still want to get froggy foreigner you don't get froggy with me because it's glaca clock time i trained for that kind of excitement so you just let me know i'm your huckleberry anyway that being said i had to put that out there i don't get silent i get louder and i get you know i'm part irish so what do you think is going to happen like for real how well do you think that's going to go. I got Viking ancestry and a part Irish. How the well do you think that's going to go? You know, I mean,
Starting point is 00:49:50 for crying out loud. All right. Today's stupidity came. Well, we can just say Democrats and then call it a night. But these people. I'll be more specific. The DSA, the socialist wing of the Democrat Party, which is getting crazy. I mean, they started crazy. They're just
Starting point is 00:50:06 getting worse. For some reason, Democrats are seeing this as a need. They need these people. Cut five, one, Senator Dick Durbin. He seems to love him. We'll see. Let's see. There's a progressive wing within the Democratic Party. We have seen it demonstrated in a lot of elections. That's right.
Starting point is 00:50:26 We are a big tent party and there's room for progressives as all of those who have a different point of view. I would say to Bernie Sanders, we need your help in a constructive way, and I'm sure you're going to give it as you have in the past. Mr. Federman, John Federman, my colleague, I respect you very much, but we need to be a good need a big tent to bring this party together. He's the only sane Democrat in existence at the moment. So, yeah, thanks. Yeah, I appreciate all of your exactly. Yeah, thanks, thank, Urban.
Starting point is 00:50:56 That guy with his precious moment's eyes. I don't care. All right, folks, that does it for us tonight. I'll be up on Fox. I think the top of the 7 p.m. Central hour. Find us on Substat, Facebook, YouTube, like and subscribe. Have a great night.
