Questions about whether you are moving closer, you believe the U.S. is moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities. Where's your mindset on that? I can't say that, right? You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question. Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component in what time exactly, sir? Sir, would you strike it? Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch? I mean, you don't know that I'm going to even do it. You don't know. I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell you this, that. Iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate.

And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before? All this death and destruction, why didn't you negotiate? I said to the people, why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done fine. You would have had a country. It's very sad to watch this. I mean, I've never, I've never seen anything like it. It's so, you know, everyone thought it was going to be the reverse.

I didn't, I didn't think so. And I was telling him, you got to, you got to. You got to do something. You got to negotiate. And at the end, last minute, they said, no, we're not going to do that. And they got hit. Remember 60 days? And then came the 60.

61's going to become a very famous number. That was one hell of a hit. That first hit. That was one hell of a hit. Not sustainable, to be honest. That's where it ended, it ended on the first night. Yes. Is it too late, though?

Do you think it's too late to now? Really? Nothing's too late. The only thing too late is Powell. Powell's too late. Too late Powell. Have you, Ronnie, has reached out to Mr. President? What?

Have you wanting to reach out to you? Yes. And what's the same? I said it's very late, you know? I said it's very late to be talking. We may meet, it's, it's, I don't know, there's a big difference between now and a week ago, right? Big difference. I'm not going to lie to you.

My first, when I was watching this video, the first thought that I had, it was a very girl thought. thought. I was like, how many hats does this man have? And I wasn't, I wasn't questioning it. Like I was making fun of it. I was, I was, because I'm, I am an, an accessories person. And I'm like, how many hats does POTUS have? Because that's the white hat now with the black. And then he has the white hat with the gold. And I, hands to sky, I've seen the white hat with the silver. And I'm like, there's a drip for every metal. Who knew? You know, like, so I, that was my first thought. Then I was like painted tears like oh that's a hot Jerome Powell but my hands to sky The girl came in and took over

You can take the well there's no saying for it welcome welcome to the show welcome to the show We're in our first hour of the program and it's Wednesday It's a weird Wednesday in Texas because the rain is back and we're done with it where you wanted to go away We got a lot of stuff to cover because we've got the Scrametti ruling which I literally read as the skeir ruling as it pertains to transgender. I don't want to say treatment, but the process of like transitioning, that whole thing. So we're gonna touch on that.

We, I mean, we've gotta hit a bunch of stuff. I'm going to talk about sportsball today. Also, we're gonna get in the latest with Israel and Iran. It's basketball though. I like basketball, baseball are what I know. You asked me a question about football and you guys are gonna be like,

it's like watching Joe Biden talk about guns. We don't. Don't send, and can I just, we're a quick sidebar. God love you people who send me the emails trying to explain it. You are doing the Lord's work. God love you. Doesn't work. It's not going to happen. I just, there is a disconnect where it's like I'm watching someone explain whackbat.

It's not going to happen. But I really appreciate the gents out there that have given it the good old college try. My husband's tried for years. Heaven help you and bless you for your service. All right. So a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of stuff to hit because the latest, it's kind of like hurry up and wait as it pertains to Iran. And you heard Trump right there talking about Jerome Powell. He hates me. I think he hates me. You know, I've called him every name in the book. I think, I don't know, I don't necessarily think that he hates him. But I do think that he is, I think that he is waiting for, I don't know, I guess more, I think that he's waiting and seeing what other deals come in. Because quite frankly, as it pertains to a lot of the tariff and the trade, there hasn't been a lot that's come in. I'm going to be honest, there hasn't been. We've had a handful and that's great, but there's like

70 deals that have to be made. So that has to be done. In addition, we have the Senate fighting over the big, beautiful bill right now. There's not a lot to report there because right now they're going back and forth on different things in committee. They're arguing over salt caps. They're arguing over some of the AI portions that we were talking about weeks ago. So there is, there's quite, there's quite a bit to get into. As it relates to the latest, though, with Iran, I don't know if you've seen, but what is it? They're quote unquote Supreme Leader. He, I'm bewildered still that he's on X. So wherever, whatever little, you know, Hobbit hole he's hiding in, he's still tweeting. Do you say tweeting or is it just posting on X? Because if you say posting,

people don't know what that means, but if you say tweeting, they're like, oh. And I think you can say say that and then they know that you're talking, right, talking about X. I'm so, I confuse myself on this. So he had tweeted, and this is the, this is a comedy. He tweeted, oh shoot, this is how he has, quote, the U.S. entering in this matter, and then he does parenthetical's war, is 100% to its own detriment. The damage it will suffer will be far greater than any harm that Iran may encounter. Okay, so first off, I retweeted this with the gif of Bain. Remember when Bain was talking to the politician and he goes, Do you feel in charge?

That's the first thing. Then the second one was that movie with Tom Hanks on the boat going through the Strait of Hormuz. Or he's like, I'm the captain now. That one guy telling Tom Hanks, which, by the way, Iran has also threatened to do. They've also threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz. Now you guys know this is where I mean everything passes through this The Strader Ormoos

If they were successful in doing something like this Yes you could see Prices increase You could see something I don't know how high do you think it could go $100 a barrel Yeah Because there was something like

This is similar to 73 So which I read history It wasn't alive then but I read history So This This Pulling this up the Supreme

leader threatening that he would close the Strait of Ormuse, I don't know, like I said, I don't think that that would happen because then you're going to have the Saudis get involved. And the last thing that they want is for that to happen. The last thing that they want for that to happen. You would have to have, the Navy would be involved in order to reopen the Strait.

And I'm just speculating because this is what he has said. He has said, has hinted that maybe it would be the Strait of Hormuz. So I'm just looking at, what you would see, I think, of the global supply that goes through the straight, I think you would perhaps, I think it's like 20%, I'm pulling up my notes here. I think it's like 20% that goes through.

Again, I just don't, it's not going to happen. It's just not going to happen. They've lost every ally so far. Now, the Strait of Ormuz, as you know, it goes right around by the UAE, by the way. and I there's there's too much there's too much there's too much there the UAE signed the Abraham Accords so the UAE Dubai is like right there on that peninsula that goes up into the Strait of Ormuz the UAE is is a signatory to the Abraham Accords I'm just saying there is a lot against them even thinking about doing that Iran is the regime only let me I want to

rephrase this. The Iranian regime is on its own. I cannot emphasize this enough. And I was actually rather shocked to look at some of the commentary yesterday. The history of Iran, years ago, I really got into the history of it. And I started reading a lot about Jimmy Carter and his mess that he created because Iran was such a different place than it is now. And beautiful. And the culture, beautiful. And people traveled there. And it was hospitable and welcoming. And then you had the most. mullahs come in, thanks to Jimmy Carter and his CIA op, and they decided to switch out the Shah and install the mullahs. And then now we have this, you know, this insane Islamic fundamentalist death to America regime that's been in place ever since. And they have been funding,

they have been funding much of the terror and destruction that we have grown up with seeing in that part of the world. So I just, like I said, there's no way, because you have the Saudis, you have Bahrain, you have UAE, all right there. They are way, realistically, they're way more powerful than Iran is, especially right now, because they're entirely on their own. Russia made it incredibly clear, we are done with you. They're out. They are out.

There is no hope of Russia coming. And China might be a wild card, but they're not going to do anything because their economy, barely hanging by a thread. All they can do at this point is try to build, you know, crappy man-made islands on shoals out in the South Sea so that they can try to claim the sovereignty and the waters as territorial to China. That's literally all they can do. So for all the bluster, Iran is entirely alone right now. Syria was the last ally that it had. It's done. There is nothing else. There is going to be a regime change at some point. Now, that's where

we get into. Okay, well, then what is the strategy? As you've seen, they've been talking a lot about the bunker busters and whether or not they're going to go after this one specific, I mean, it's deep within, deep underground, this one enrichment facility. Now, we've got a lot of assets that are heading over there. We've got the Nimitz that is, I told you this the other day, was diverted. Now it's heading over to the Middle East. It's going to be joining the USS Carl Vinson. It was going to be replacing the Vinson, but now for a period, both of those carriers are going to be over there simultaneously. We dominate, well, actually Israel right now dominates airspace in Iran. They absolutely dominate. Syria has closed all airspace to Iran. There's no hope of them getting any kind of

relief over that airspace. They are isolated and alone. Everything that they have is what they have. That's it. And most of their weaponry has been more than decimated. It has been destroyed by over half. the last few remaining missiles that they have, if you notice, they're just shot errantly. There's really no, it's very different from how previously how they would launch them. And now also, like they were striking, they were trying to strike what they thought was like an IDF command center. And it ended up like, you know, completely so far off base into a residential area. They can't even control what they have anymore. They have been utterly crippled.

So that brings us to, okay, so they have. All of these things against them, what is going to be the natural move? All of the people saying that there's going to be boots on the ground are the dumbest people on God's Green Earth. And you need to just completely ignore them. They are just the turd and the punch bowl of rational discourse. That's never going to happen. It is not this. It's not World War III.

I mean, really, it's over. Theoretically, it's over. It's already done. There is no way that they can continue like this. You still have the barely, the remnants of a regime left. You have the quote unquote supreme leader who is already scurrying about like a rat hiding in the darkness. All of his military counsel are dead. Every one of them. And if you remember, the number two guy that he had that would have taken over after him is dead.

Everybody's dead. So is it to just make sure that their nuclear capabilities are utterly destroyed and then allow this toothless regime to kind of bob in place and let the Persian people do the rest of it. That's that's what what Trump is, I think, trying to determine right now. I don't think that the determination is whether or not anymore they need to act and drop a Moab on this bunker, this for now bunker. I also think that they're trying to figure out, well, do you allow this guy to remain? Or do you go in and clean out entirely? because then you got the pottery barn rule. You break it, you buy it. So that's something that we all have to consider. Well, that's what the administration has to consider. That's just what's happening

and landing on the table for you. Coming up, I don't know if you saw the gang up on Caitlin Clark yesterday. Holy cow. And Sophie Cunningham, I wanted to be my best friend. I love her. She's amazing. She's the kind of girl that you want in your foxhole. We're going to talk about all of this because if you guys miss that man alive, we got a lot to hit as we move the folks who help bring you the program, the burn a gun. Always, I always carry and I have no problem using lethal force to protect myself. The issue, though, comes from the places that do have issue with you protecting yourself. And heaven forbid they offer any kind of armed security to protect you too, right? Talking about private property restrictions, municipal restrictions, or college.

kids that are old enough to live on their own and go to school, but they're not old enough to carry a handgun for protection. This is where the burn a gun gun comes in. So most stun guns have one or two rounds. Burn a gun has five. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. There's no recoil. Target acquisition is super easy. And the big thing is that Burna is legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks. There's no waiting periods. There's no permits. They ship it right to your door. It's accessible for everybody. So you still have a means with which to defend yourself. This is why diversity with your weapons array is important.

You carry different calibers. You carry rifles and pistols. You have blades. Something like this in those instances is also incredibly helpful. Now, they have rifles, but I think for this explicit purpose, the Berna SD, which is their most popular selling model, and then the Berna CL, the CL stands for compact launcher. That's 38% smaller than the SD. Everything's made right here in the US of A.

and you can go and look at the different projectiles. You can actually go and look at how it works. Different projectiles, different accessories, the whole nine yards. But you have an effective deterrent still. And you also have the legal access. Visit berna.com slash Dana and get your hands on the new burner-c-L. That's B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Dana. Burnah ready when you are.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So now Tyler Perry is accused of sexual. assault. $260 million lawsuit from a dude named Derek Dixon. Now, I'm going to say I've heard some stuff. I've heard some things before.

I have friends that work in music in Atlanta. And I'm not saying, I'm, I'm just saying I heard some things. But sexual assault, like assault, that's one that I did not have that I didn't think.

You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? Like, okay, the rumors that he's a little light and loafer. That's what the rumor is. Okay. But whether that's, just because somebody's light in the law, I mean, I don't think that they're going to commit assault like that. I don't know. What do you?

It's Tyler Perry. It's Medea. What in the world? I don't know. So they said that, oh man, this suit, it was filed in Los Angeles. It said that he promised this dude career advancement during the time of his sustained advances and would try to retaliate when they weren't reciprocated. He sounds like a woman.

I could be honest with you. He does. doesn't he? That sounds like some of a chick would do. All right. The NACP says Trump is not going to be invited to their 116 national convention. They're still around? The NACP? Retail sales fell 0.9% in May, a little worse than it expected. Yeah, people came back because the media is scared everybody half to death.

No, I don't know the population.

You don't know the population in the country you seek to topple? How many people living around? 92 million. Okay. How could you not know that? I don't sit around memorizing population tables. Well, it's kind of relevant because you're calling for overthrow the government. Why is it relevant, whether it's 90 million or 80 million or 100 million,

why is that relevant? If you don't know anything about the country. I didn't say I don't know anything about it. Okay, what's the ethnic mix of Iran? They are Persians and predominantly Shia. Okay. No, it's not, you don't know anything about Iran. So, okay, I am not the Tucker Carlson expert on Iran. You're a senator who's calling to the overthrow of the government and you're the one who claims, you don't know anything about the country. No, you don't know anything about the country. you're the one who claims they're not trying to murder Donald Trump. You're the one who can't figure out if it was a good idea to kill General Soleimani and you said it was bad. You don't believe they're trying to murder Trump.

Yes, I do. Because you're not calling for military strikes against them and retaliate. So this back and forth with Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz was kind of interesting. There was a lot. I'm not going to play all of it, but there was a lot. It was a two-hour interview. By the way, oh my gosh, a two-hour interview. I can barely watch a two-hour movie.

I could not watch that for two hours. I'm just saying. So Cruz on X accused him of doing gotcha stuff. Like what did he say? How did he put it? He said he released a snippet playing a gotcha game on the population of Iran. What was the point of that? Like, so wait, what gets me is that Tucker Carlson is angry

that Ted Cruz didn't know the population of Iran, but yet Tucker Carlson did know all of the scandal that swirls around the Taint brother, sorry, the Tate brother that he had on his show. He was unfamiliar with all of the evidence and the accusations and even the admissions that he made himself about his own activity. So he was unaware of that when he interviewed

that Andrew Taint dude, but he was, Ted Cruz didn't know the population of Iran, so that's, you know, it's time to go apoplectic over it. Am I understanding that correctly? Like, where's the consistency? What it looks like? I just want to know where the consistency was. I'm sorry, I don't take, you can't, you can't get upset because somebody doesn't know the population of Iran when you interviewed a dude who is literally the wart on the ass of any kind of discourse in this world. And you're completely unfamiliar with everything, including all of the stuff that he admitted to with his own mouth on video. And you're completely unfamiliar with that.

And you don't find that to be inconsistent? Right? Yeah. Okay, so what? We don't know the population of Iran. Well, you Googled it right before the interview. Now, what's weird is the people who disagree with me will be like, oh, you just want war with Iran.

And I understand if you're the product of incest and that your mother is also your aunt and cousin, that you would come to that conclusion. That's understandable for people who struggle with listening comprehension or people who think that someone who says that I like pancakes immediately means that they hate waffles. I get it. Right. You know, we have, we have whole organization set up to help people just like you. But that said, that's not what it is.

I just think that this is inconsistent. I just think it's inconsistent. I don't understand the purpose of that. So what they're asking, so you want eight. Okay, so this is eight. Audio somebody eight. This is the other part of it. Listen.

And if you really believe that. We are carrying out military strikes today. You said Israel was. Right. With our help. I said we. Israel is leading them, but we're supporting them. Well, this, you're breaking news here because the U.S.

government last night denied the National Security Council spokesman, Alex Fyfer, denied on behalf of Trump that we were acting on Israel's behalf in any offensive capacity at all. We're not bombing them. Israel's bombing them. You just said we were. We are supporting Israel. It's high stakes.

You're a senator. If you're saying the United States government is a, we're with Iran right now, people are listening. Actually, this is just like semantics is what this is. point. It's just like a semantics thing. I mean, if that's, look, I don't think that the United States needs to be sent a boots on the ground, but I'm all for helping Israel with, you know, bombs, missiles, whatever, because nobody likes Iran. That regime has got to go. But the Persian's got to make it go. The people have to make it go. If you want to help destroy nuclear, the whole point for the United States should be to just destroy any kind of nuclear capability. If that's what we're going to get

into, that's what they got to do and they got to stick to that objective. But going back and forth with semantics like this? I mean, what purpose does that serve? Oh, well, you didn't, you had your preposition at the end of the sentence. You know, preposition grammatically is not supposed to go to the end of the sentence. You're a, you're a senator. It's not supposed to be like this. You know, you're a senator. I mean, you know, Senator, do you know how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck would? You don't know. Then why are we talking about Woodchuck? Senator, you're a senator, right? I just, I don't know. It felt like a Princess Bride skit. right? What wouldn't

meatloaf do for love? Not that. But you're a senator. I don't know. See, we can just do this all day. But the point is I don't think that anyone is saying that they've got to send boots on the go. Trump is not saying that. Why are there people

out there who are saying that Trump says this and that this is his position? It's not. It isn't his position. These are the people, by the way, who have been hypercritical of Israel for a little bit more than just their government. A little bit more than just their government.

You know what I mean? But what is this? Why would Ted Cruz sit and do it anyway? I don't know. I don't know why he would do this interview for two hours. Was this the whole two hours? Yeah, I hope not. Who had to watch that to cut clips up?

What did you make of that interview? Kane. It just seemed like, I don't know. Well, I'm not surprised to see these portions used as the tease for the, you know, the bigger interview. So I'm not surprised to see some red meat as the marketing push for it. Again, look, we do this all the time. Seeing this is just laughable to us because it's just noise.

There's really nothing accomplished when you look at it from a strategic standpoint or a factual standpoint. What have we accomplished? What did Tucker accomplish? That is the million-dollar question. That's a million dollar question. I don't know. But it just seems, I mean, I don't know. I don't get the point of it.

I just don't get the point of it. So you're not supposed to, if you don't know the population of Iran, you can't want to get rid of their nukes. Is that what I'm understanding? I mean, that's what the promos would intimate. I would imagine the conversation was more nuanced and got deeper than that, but don't know yet. Hmm. Yeah, I don't know either. I, when you're, what does that have to do, though?

Is that that that's like, that's like, just something that's like parallel, not even part of that. What is the point? So if, if the population is like 9.2, you know, million or if it's 5 million, what difference does that have on the issue of whether or not Iran should have nuclear capability? I was actually kind of surprised that Cruz didn't say that in response. that would have been I mean he kind of did he was like what's what is why is it relevant is what he asked and then Tucker came back with well you're a senator you should know these things so that's how that would go but that but then that's still a dodge of his question right I mean if you're going to play the semantics game like I mean if he's going to play a semantics game then play it okay then what's that's still a dodge please state what what does this make does the population of Iran mean that the nuclear capability is greater or less than I mean, that's, what it is is it's a, it's a, it's a semantics, Rube Goldberg way of arguing in order to make it seem like this person is illogical on the issue when really the questions that you're asking have nothing to do with that issue. I just don't understand that. I, I, I, I don't know.

I mean, I watched a couple of these clips and I just thought, uh, that, how was that a substantive part of the discussion? Okay, define the discussion. the discussion, the issue that's being debated is, are you resolved that Iran should be able to have nuclear capability? Yes or no? And then that is the issue. So, and this is completely, and this is completely different from the question of, okay, how would you remedy that if your answer is no? But what people try to do is they try to conflate everything up in one question. and ignore nuance or ignore actually, you know, substantive things that are related to that debate. It just, I just watched this and I was like, what the hell? I don't know. I just didn't, I, it just seemed disingenuous. The whole debate seemed disingenuous.

So, I don't know. I, I feel like it was a lot of people were saying it was like that Dave Smith thing. Talking about guys. Oh, so you've never been? Well, I was... This is not like Iran or Iraq. Iran is not like Iraq.

These are very, very different circumstances. But I think there are some people who are like, oh, the Middle East is their country. So it must be the exact same thing. It's not, though. It is not, though. I don't know. I guess, you know, it's America first to go to Russia

and be taken to only the supermarkets they want you to see and marvel at the produce that they staged right before your arrival and then go to the one train station that they actually built with. migrant labor, you know, when they were trying to be like Soviets first and Marvel at all of that. That's really America first, Kane. I don't know if you knew that or not. I'm just done with this stuff. I'm done with it. By the way, it's not 92 million. It's actually 89.4 million, the population of Iran. So,

I mean, I guess that means that you're wrong about the whole thing as to whether or not Iran should have nukes. Wait a minute, Dana, that doesn't know. Those are the rules. Those are the rules. Right? Do you know the Supreme Leader's shoe size? Then why in the hell are you even arguing about this? Like, does he like one plier or two plier? Does he just right-hand hit? You don't know these issues? Then why are you talking about this?

You're a senator. I mean, OMG. You said, I mean? So we got to talk about this. What happened? It's basketball. I never talk about women's basketball because I've never been interested in watching it. I love basketball.

I can't play it to save my life. I was soccer. It probably kills one when I say sock. Well, maybe not. Football. And track and field. And I did classical ballet for 17, almost 18 years. So I, but I love basketball.

And it was crazy. I could do ballet. I did, you know, I was on point. I did crazy stuff in ballet. Could not play basketball to save my life. And I loved the game. loved it. I tried out every year. Every year I tried out. And I was varsity everything that I did. And I could not make varsity for basketball. And I'm one of those people that I'm a checkbox person. And it just burned my soul that I could not, the one thing I couldn't get. So that said, the way that the WNBA has been operating is just really, like nobody watches women's basketball because women's basketball didn't take women's basketball seriously. Well, now you have a star player. And she's bringing eyeballs in. And she's bringing eyeballs in. When she's not playing, ain't nobody going and buying tickets.

They have to slash them. They have to slash the prices of the tickets. They can't even fill their arenas. Well, yesterday, fever played. They were up against the suns. And all kinds that we're going to dive into it. Don't play it yet. We're going to dive into it coming up because it's a big long thing.

They were treating Caitlin Clark like a punching bag last night. But then, but then comes a teammate on the back of a white horse. No, Sophie Cunningham. this chick came she came in like Tony Twist and dealt with this situation and I'm like every girl needs a friend like Sophie Cunningham. God love her. And she's Missouri girl. She's Missouri. She went to Missouri.

Like Sands Through the Aller. Not able to catch So are the days of the United States. And are going to make sure that at least they get as much help as we can provide as New York City. as New York State can provide to help them avoid being separated or being detained. But then when we went back upstairs, again, we had these next two cases, this Yoruba

gentleman, and then, Edgaro, who we just tried to walk out of the building. And I think you saw the video. All I tried to do was just hold that Gardo's arm and ask the ICE agents, do you have a warrant? they would not show me the warrant and I said I'd let go of his arm as soon as they showed it to me and they did not show it to me and you saw

what happened. That is not what happened at all whatsoever. He you can't block ice. All right. You're not supposed to you can't block ice agents from doing their jobs. I don't know. What audio somebody was that? That was a

three. Oh three. So this, yeah, that's it. He didn't just ask all. I mean, when are people going to learn? No one is above the law, right? No one is. He's a candidate for mayor and they detained him. And he, I mean, that's embarrassing.

That's him. Like he was not cooperating. He was at the courthouse. He's the New York City comptroller. And he was arrested after he interfered with an investigation. and detainment. So this is, that's a, you know, and then you got this situation. Okay, I'm going to try to be nice.

Five, just play it, just play it. Oh, gosh. Go ahead. Do you want to know what I really think? Please. It's bo-h-h-h. How dare they take an elected official who's been going down there for weeks to escort people who are afraid to walk into a courthouse in the United States of America?

Because despite them having legal, status and following the rules and making their appointments that they don't know what's going to happen to them. So Brad Lander has stepped up. Okay, I get to interrupt her. Not just to warn her about just going with any injector, but also because, first off, why didn't they do this all the years that DACA was in place? Why didn't they do this when the Flores Agreement and all of those things were in place under Obama Biden? I mean, you had for years if people were going to start the process, they would have been shielded from deportation. And if they chose to not act then, it's not anybody else's fault that they chose to continue

to skirt the law, even when there was a moratorium on penalty for it. And they only waited until now and then you make a show of it. That's their bad choices and their bad timing. And it is not a constitute an emergency or any sort of necessity on the part of everybody else in the United States of America. Also, I think when women get to be a certain age, you can't darken your eyebrows like that anymore. It's not helpful.

God love Joan Rivers. she needs to come back and just like, you know, offer opinion on those things. So we've got a lot more on the way, including the WNBA. And what happened on the court? One of the most egregious things that I've seen in a while. I mean, I like aggressive sports, but this goes above and beyond. We got all that and the latest with everything else, stick with us pre-born. This is such a great organization that does so much for women and children and families

dot com slash dana anyone can help save a life and look what's going to happen here is that we're going to find that milk gets a lot higher because i don't know if any of you have ever been in a dairy farm it is god awful work we're going to see that groceries and vegetables are higher we're going to see an effect in our economy because whether people like it or not whether americans acknowledge it or not undocumented immigrants are an integral part of our society and our economy. And we're going to have to get used to seeing the videos of U.S. citizens detained, of U.S. citizen children being ripped from the arms of their mothers,

and while they wail of, you know, dads and moms and business owners. Yeah, we're going to have to get you. Okay. Okay. I am stunned. and I had a family member that was in dairy farming before they retired. That's Anna Navarro on the view. And I normally don't play the view, but that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

And I'm going to explain why. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash with you. Channel 347 DirecTV is the stream. The chats at Rumble, all kinds of good stuff. Holy wow. So first off, do you realize that dairy farming now anymore is mostly automated? It is.

It's mostly automated. And then there's even technologies that are progressing it forward from even then. Like the feeding's automated. Like they literally have robotic milking. Does she think that illegal immigrants are sitting on milkmaid stools just grabbing cow teats all day? Like I'm, is that what she thinks is happening? Tell me that you are completely removed from the realities of everyday people without telling me that you're completely removed from the realities of everyday people. Where does she think milk comes from?

Does she think that her milk that she purchased at Whole Foods was put in that carton by an illegal immigrant sitting on a milkmaid stool who is squeezing a teat? I'm just curious. I mean, the need for manual labor and dairy farming has been drastically reduced, and that's something that's been a trend for. Oh, my gosh. I mean, when I was a kid, our family member that had, I mean, it was already automated and I was a kid. so and that was in like the early 90s so that's been a while came i can't even imagine what the technology is like just from like the late 80s and the 90s to now but they have automated feeding that's like everything literally is like automated so i don't know what she thinks is happening here i am oh my gosh

i'm just oh my gosh i'm so embarrassed for her can you imagine if you were actually an educated female or a male. You would never say anything like that on live television. And she's like, I don't know if any of you've ever been on a dairy farm. It's got awful work. First off, I don't think you've ever been in a dairy farm. I don't know

of a dairy farm where they just pull up a milkmaid stool and just do you, wait, wait, wait, wah. Seriously, do you? Where does it happen? We've got to get these thousand gallons to market. Oh my gosh. Where does it even happen? And how ignorant is that? First off, she has no idea what she's talking about.

And then she doesn't, she doesn't, that's also just so ignorant and bigoted. I am almost speechless with this. I don't know. And by the way, if there is a company, you know, a dairy company that is using illegal labor for this, they should be fine. That's why you need verify and all of this. So it's why we have work visas.

They should be fine for that. I think that the penalties for companies that do that should be so astronomically detrimental that it is so prohibitive and that it eliminates their ability to even consider that. Oh my gosh.

She just thinks that would you all like to come out? Like dairy farmers are going to Home Depot. Like, hey, would you guys like to milk some teats? Let's go. she just sounds like an old rich woman that once indentured labor that's what it sounds like doesn't it listen to all these people talk they're all upset because they're losing their indentured workforce that's what they sound like oh my gosh am i watching jingo unchained is this are these all cutscenes from this because that's exactly what it sounds like oh my gosh i can't imagine saying that kind of stuff on television and not thinking through how that looked oh my gosh. The mayor of Los Angeles did it just the other day. She was saying that Trump doesn't understand that our economy depends on the labor from illegal immigrants. Notice that they're not

talking about improving wages here domestically. They're just like, no, we want to bring in illegals to work for slave wages. That's what they're saying. And you had that story yesterday where when the town got raided or when this business got rated and all of the illegal workers were out, they had an influx of American workers here, homebound workers. And, um, workers ready to take those jobs in an instant. So for her to even say that in that context makes no sense. I was going to, I have a really, really mean comeback that's very clever. It's one of the meanest things I've ever said.

So I'm not going to say it. But I will tell you can on break. It's really good. It's so mean. I'm like, mm, Jesus may hit me with a lightning bowl. Can you type it right now? See, no, I cannot. All right.

Don't forget then. Don't forget. Cannot. But I'm just, whenever I, I hear these people say these things, that's what I hear. We want illegal labor coming in to work for pennies doing work that we think is beneath us. That's what I hear. And then I look at all of the people who came to the country legally and joined us as Americans and they create these amazing businesses. And I mean, I will never forget one of the people that impressed me the most. I was

an RGV, our K-U-R-V affiliate, and met an elderly Hispanic man who came to the country legally when he was a teenager. I think he was like 16-17. Fought for this country. Came back, started, not one, but like three businesses, had a boatload of kids with his wife that he was, God love her, married to for like 11 million years. She passed away a few years ago. And then his kids bought, they became ranchers and his kids bought, I mean, they created an amazing legacy. why is that not ever held up as the example of all of the amazing things you can do when you come into the country illegally? But this is what they go to. Well, we need cheap illegal immigrant labor to work for slave wages.

They talk about that, but they don't talk about all of the amazing stories of people who come to this country legally, join us as Americans and achieve the American dream. Because those stories, there are so many of them, but they don't, but they're Marxists. They can't give any credit to those stories. They can't talk about anything. They can't talk about any of that. They don't want to because it goes against their purpose of stateism. I just, when I saw that, my jaw hit the floor and I had to send it to the members of my family who grew up on said dairy farm. And I'm like, remember when you had to go out?

They were just dying. They were like, it's literally all automated. I'm like, yeah, I know. But they apparently don't think so. In New York, you literally have people who are paid a lot of money to sit on television. television and tell you that there's illegal immigrants on milkmaid stools, pulling cow teats day in and day out. Audio somebody to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who normally isn't my favorite person, but he

kind of pushed back on some of this rhetoric on the schmoo. Look, audio somebody too. You were an immigrant in this country. Did you have a visceral reaction to what they're doing, what ICE is doing when you see the videos of it? Well, I tell you, I would you say that the immigrant, I'm so proud and happy. that I was impressed by the American people like that. I mean, imagine they came over here with the age of 21,

with absolutely nothing. And then to create a career like that, I mean, in no other country in the world, could you do that? Every single thing, if it's my bodybuilding career, if it's my acting career, becoming governor, the beautiful family that have created. all of this is because of America. That's true.

And so this is why I'm so so happy to see firsthand that this is the greatest country in the world and this is the land of opportunities. But the key thing also is at the same time that we got to do things legal. That is the important thing, you know. So you got to do things legal and those people that are doing illegal things in America

and they're the foreigners, they are not smart. because when you come to America, you're a guest. And you have to behave like a guest. Like when I go to someone's house and I'm a guest, then I will do everything I can to keep things clean and to make my bed and to do everything that is the right thing to do rather than committing a crime or being abusive or something like that. So that doesn't really work in this country.

So I think the important thing is when you become an immigrant to think about, okay, go to America because I want to use America for the great opportunities that America has, in education, in jobs, creating a family, all of those kind of things. Then you have to think about, okay, if I get all of those things from America, then I have to give something back. I think that's actually a good point. I have to question the moral construct of people who ignore that aspect of immigration, because I always found those stories to be just an amazing. stories. And so many people, the backstory of their families are woven with stories like that,

right? And why, I don't know why the left that pushes illegal immigration is so against uplifting those stories, those success stories of achieving the American dream. Because the American dream, they forget e pluribus unum. Do you know what a threat that is to Marxism, by the way? because Marxism is opposite of that. Marxism is out of many one. And you might say, well, wait a minute, that's not, no, it is, though. Because it's not about the strength. We bastardize it today.

People say, oh, well, strength and diversity. It's actually strength in the commonality. And the commonality is that of liberty. That's the whole purpose, as it was espoused in the Declaration of Independence going forward for there. I mean, that was e pluribus unum was all. of the colonies coming together to form a single powerful entity under the banner of liberty. Out of many, one. Out of many who want liberty, you have one stronger entity that seeks liberty.

And it's that shared identity of wanting to be free. And that is what is so dangerous to statism. Look at it. Marxism, and it is a cultural Marxism that is being pushed, where you have to play into identity politics, right? It is all about, this is why I hate identity politics. This is why I hate identity politics that I see cropping up on the right. It's so practiced, heavily practiced by the left. I see it on the right.

The identity of the American is that of freedom. It is not of a religion. It is not of a race. It is not of anything else but of freedom. That is the American identity. It's why I always say, like in an homage to Reagan, you know, you can't go to France and be French. As much as I love, you know, Italy's food and their culture, I can't go to Italy and be Italian. I can't go to Spain and be Spanish. I can't go to Ireland and be Irish,

even though I have Irish ancestor. I can't do any of that. But every one of them can come here and you can become American, right? You can be American. You can be a part of these United States. And that's and share in that culture because the identity is freedom. And so uplifting these stories where you have people who come to this country against all odds, they do it the right way, they become Americans, it absolutely destroys that leftist ideology. They want a subjugated class. They want a group of people that have to be reliant upon them. These are people who do not get their power or authority from things that they do themselves. They get their power and authority by how well they oppress others. That has been the common theme with leftism since the beginning of time,

since the beginning of this nation, and it has not changed. We have a lot more on the way. We've got headlines coming up as we move. Our partners that will bring you the program, Gold Co.

network combined it's the first time this has happened especially over a full month so this is the future television is on its last legs and it's the first time it's happened This is from Nielsen. They began comparing streaming viewership with traditional cable and network TV. They started this in 2021. The gap was huge at the time, and it's been a rapid ascent of her since. Two-thirds of TV time was spent watching cable and broadcasts, 26% with streaming, but that's collapsed now. So now it's the, I mean, even viewers over the age of 65, so the generation, the baby boomers,

they, in the past month, actually it's been building since then, but they have been graduating towards streaming things instead of just watching television or cable. And now it's completely done. Now that's it. This is the first time. They said since 2023, viewers over the age 65 are the fastest growing age group for watching YouTube off of a TV set. That's very interesting.

I so want to know what they're watching. I so want to know what they're watching. I think this is interesting. That's fascinating. So, you know, we were telling me this for a while. But let's see. an ice protester was injured because they got shot by a rubber bullet to the jimmies oh that's what happens when you uh fafo right and you're out rioting it's not a protester

but somebody literally who was out there rioting our kelly was hospitalized oh after a prison overdose nobody cares and an alleged murder plot nobody cares does anybody care nobody cares this is fascinating a spectacular viking burial site has been discovered in denmark They said it was that of a Viking noble family, and it's packed with a trove of ancient objects. They said it came when they discovered pearls, coin, ceramics, and a box containing a gold thread. And it's in our house, the second largest city in Denmark. So coming up, that fight on the court last night, ooh, we got that and more. Stick with us.

I was telling you guys earlier, I don't do football, but I love, I like soccer, I like baseball. Cardinals. It's God's team. And I love basketball. I always, I was varsity athlete. I did soccer, I did track and field. I did ballet for 18 years. Classical ballet for 18 years. and love basketball.

For whatever reason, even though I had great coordination with ballet, I just could never make it with basketball, but I love watching it all the same. Never really got into WNBA, though. They didn't have like, like when I was, when I was younger, Mia Hamm was the player in soccer that used.

She was sort of like the best, the best way I can put it, she was kind of like the female Beckham in a way. I mean, David Beckham's in his own league. Come on. But Mia Hamm was a powerhouse. And I grew up with Mia Hamm, right you didn't have really anybody like that for women's basketball i mean did you need anything

like that i don't know because you know we all like larry bird michael jordan you know we all watch you know we all watch everybody play but we did there wasn't like a female basketball can't right i don't remember anybody i don't yeah i didn't there wasn't anybody that you know nobody's merch you could go out and buy like i got me at ham stuff like like like there was nobody's stuff you could go and buy. You know what I mean? So I say this because now with the WMBA, you've got Caitlin Clark, and I feel like the WMBA does not know how to handle this at all whatsoever. So unless this is all like K-Fabe that they're doing with the rivalries, which I don't think it is. So they got Caitlin Clark and he and a fever. Man, they were playing the Connecticut Sons last night, guys, and holy

cow, we can't show you the audio because they'll hit us with a copyright claim. Man, she got beat up on the court. She got, I mean, she got our, what's her face? Stuck her fingers in her eye. Then she got shoved to the ground. This was crazy. Look at this. They were treating her like a damn punching bag.

This was wild. And the whole game, look at it. She got poked in the eye. And then I love, what's her face? I can't remember her name. Was it Sheldon who came up, Jackie Sheldon, who came up. And then she like shoved her to the ground but she like had her hands up like oh this was an accident there were so many angles of this there was the other angle where you can see uh no sheldon was the one who poked her in the

eye and it was mabry who like just literally shoved her to the ground and you could see the from the other angle when she came up to her like she like bopped her and then held her hands up like oh no it was me i didn't do that so then sophy cunningham who let me just say sophy cunningham's a missouri girl right she went to missou born and raised in columbia missouri girls just do it different Sophie Cunningham has a black belt in taekwondo

like legit she's the enforcer she sees what's happening man she grabs Sheldon and just goes ham I want to show you the video for this but we'll get hit so bad by copyright she puts her in a clinch

drag drags her down puts her in a clinch Oh my gosh, it was amazing. Everybody needs a Sophie Cunningham. Every girl needs a Sophie Cunningham as a friend. Oh my gosh. You know what? And what they ejected her. I didn't see no foul. I didn't see that. I mean, hell, if you're not going to, if you're not going to kick out Mabry for what she did, even the announcers were like, wait, why is Marina Mabry? Why is she just, she's getting fouled and she, but Cunningham's getting ejected. Like that was, she that was, she that was, she that was, she that was. intentional. I watch that play from a million different angles. There was no reason why girlfriend needed to have her hand up with her fingers out like that. That was intentional. I mean, she straight up got jumped on the court. So Cunningham gets out. Man, she came and she was like Tony Twist going on the court. It was amazing. And I loved that. They are really, I think fever's really trying to change it.

I know that they brought in Sidney Colson to back up Clark. They brought in some of these other veterans because they're trying to change it so that Caitlin Clark's got a little bit of backup and that they have a little bit more cohesion as a team.

The WNBA needs to learn how to manage this, right? They need to learn how to not just manage this rivalry because honestly, I think a lot of this is just some less talented bitches who are trying to do this as a way to offset their lesser skill.

Caitlin Clark is a gifted player. All these ladies are good players. But it is really bad sportsmanship to be some jealous bees on the court like this. And I also think I don't want to put race into it, but I think for some of them it is race. Like Britney Griner, who is a Baylor embarrassment. She's an embarrassment to Baylor University.

She gets out there, she calls her a, you know, you blank and white girl, all that stuff. Please, please. There is an element of wrong. race in it. There absolutely is. There was an element of race in the very beginning with Larry Bird. That went away. But there's an element of race in this. And instead of looking at this like a rising tide raises all ships, all these other players, it's like they're trying to go out and get her injured. And then what happens? What happens when Caitlin Clark isn't playing that night? Your tickets aren't

selling. Your seats aren't filling. Nobody's watching you. Instead of taking it personally, figure out how to make it better and how to capitalize and maximize that. WNBA does not know how to handle this. You cannot let your players get roughed up like this. I'm not saying don't be aggressive. Hell, I would spike a girl on the track. Oh, I would throw elbows on the pitch. Hells, yes, I would.

I have no problem doing that. Me and my five, six buck 20 self, I'm like, in my mind, I'm way bigger. I have no problem with aggressive. But that's egregious. And that's just bad sportsmanship. I don't think anybody would disagree with that. I'm all fine about being aggressive and, you know, throwing elbow. Whatever.

That don't bother me. But this is repeated. And it's almost like every damn game now, right? Every game this is happening. They're going to get her injured seriously. But thankfully, they've got fevers figuring it out. And they're getting a good team together. Man, I would not want to go sideways with Sophie Cunningham.

You see that girl with her blonde ponytail coming for you? You best run. You better. run. But that was, I mean, Mabry, she, when she didn't just bump her to the ground. And I, I dispute the way that the press is putting that. If you

see, I think there's, Kane, there's one angled video out there. And it was a little, it's not the best quality, but I mean, she's got her hands down right here. Like she was just a, a, a blink away from using her hands

and she shoves her. That wasn't a bump. That was a shove to the ground. So how is it that Mabry, she just gets fouled and she wasn't ejected. Cunningham? Cunningham just brought it to the open what Mabry was trying to do in the dark. What came? And that's a hard foul. Whenever you're doing something like that in the play of a game,

what happened with the other girl pushing Caitlin, that was after the play was blown dead. Yeah, that's after they called it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the foul that Cunningham was called on was just a hard foul that you do in the game. It's like when a pitcher in baseball, you know, hits the batter. I'd be honest, I didn't see a foul with Cunningham. I saw fair play cane.

I just saw it. It was a hard foul. It wasn't an ejectible. It didn't look ejectible to me. Although what happened right after that foul, you could maybe argue. But it was entertaining a matter what. Oh, it was.

But it's not WWE, you know. I mean, you know, these are, these are, these are seasoned, you know, well-trained athletes that are out there. I was just, I mean, I was shocked. And then when the, after the rough, and that was after, what is it, Sheldon poked her in the eye, Jackie Sheldon poked her in the eye.

And that was egregiously on purpose. You can't tell me. I've watched, I've literally watched every angle of that play. I'm almost embarrassed to say how much time. I was like, what? Watching this, like, obsessively. You cannot tell me, you guys know,

anybody who's played basketball, you guys know. But then after the rough blew the whistle and after, you know, got in, that is when, what's her face? Marina Mayberry came up and shoved her to the ground. Like Clark is still like pressing on her eye because it hurt. And then Mabry comes up and shoves her right to the ground.

And then later Sophie Cunningham, she's got her eyes on Sheldon. And she gets her in a clinch, like a legit clinch. It was amazing. I was like, oh, she's done for. That girl's done. Call the nurse. I want the professional lip readers to tell us what was said. I would pay money for that.

You know what I mean? I'm not even exaggerating. Because you can tell she's saying something to her when she's clinching. And she's saying like a full sentence of something. Oh, she is. Oh, my gosh. I just want to know what that is. Why don't they have lip readers?

See, now you know what? You could have somebody on X, open an X account. You could have a lip reader at these games. You know how much money that would make? If they just put it behind a subscription, I would pay. I don't subscribe to X accounts, but I would that one so I could see what was said. Because you know, oh, man. Even if it was bad lip reading, I'd still take it.

Oh, dude, I would stay. Where's the bad lip reading at with that, by the way? That's what we need. Oh, my gosh. But they've really been working hard at building a good team, I think, Fever. And I think that they made some good choices. Colson up there having Sophie Cunningham. I think they said Colson, she's a free agent for one year.

And then bringing in some of these other players that I think want to play with Clark as well. But it's, I mean, if you're a young female and you're watching this, and if you see that your team is not protecting you, what incentive, no matter how much you love the game, what incentive do you have to expose yourself like that and play in a league that's not going to have your back because you might be white or you might be better than the other players? You know what I'm saying?

And I hate that it's even like that. My gosh, it's 2025. This stuff used to not matter. When we were younger, this stuff did not matter. It was like, are you a good player or not? That was it. and then you have all of this cultural Marxism from the far left and they get in there and they start driving race as a substitute for class warfare and here we are. Now all of a sudden it's a big thing.

It was not like that. Now it is. I just, I mean, I love the rivalry and I love the aggression on the court. I don't mind that. But it has been targeted to her towards her to such an extent that it's inexcusable. And the WNBA, if they want to be half as good as the NBA, they need to start managing this stuff a hell of a lot better than what they've been managing it. You cannot let your players get beat up like this. And you also, you know, you're trying to also, you got to think every game is an opportunity too to recruit people in the future. You got to think of that. I mean, fans don't want to watch somebody just get their buck kicked around the court, you know, with flagrant fouls all night. They don't want to watch that.

They don't want to see that every game. So I was glad when Cunningham, man, she's got a whole new bunch of friends and fans. I love it. I love it. So I don't know. If Fever keeps making some good decisions with their players and their team and how they're structuring their roster, I actually may start watching it a little bit more consistently. But they got to get, I mean, WMBA's got to get serious about this stuff.

I mean, Fever at least I think is with how they're doing their roster. The rest of the league needs to get serious with this. This is just, it's embarrassing. It's embarrassing to watch grown women do this kind of stuff on the court, you know, because this is above just like regular athletic competition and aggression. This is, this is petty and it's bitchy. And we see enough of bees in real life. We, we want to see better than that on the court.

But Sophie Cunningham, you're a real one. All right, we got a lot more coming up as we move our partners. We've got Florida men on the way. that I'll bring you the program. Our friends at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service in the country. Patriot Mobile wants to make sure that you have affordable cell phone service. But also, they want to make sure that, you know, you're supporting what your values are and what you believe in, that you're not handing money, you know, hand over fist to companies that are supporting things like DEI or gun control

or a number of other things that have nothing to do at all whatsoever with your beliefs. You don't want to compromise your beliefs, you know, just with your cell phone service. And with Patriot mobile as well, you get a free month of service using promo code Dana. It's nationwide coverage that operates on all three major networks. You're connected wherever you go. I've been around the country. I've been all over everywhere. I've been in the middle of a, in the Caribbean on a boat with nothing around.

And I still had cell. I have no idea how, but I did. I had coverage. I was able to rage tweet because someone said something dumb about gun control. So I was able to do that. you get seamless switching. I'm going to tell you this, if you haven't switched your cell phone service, but yet you complain about Amazon and Netflix and what they donate to the left, you're like part of the issue. You're donating more money than anybody who would ever buy things off Amazon or Netflix,

because think about how much you pay every month for your cell phone service. That is consistent, that's consistent money going in. So why not switch? Pay less. Work with a company that shares your values and actually empower what you believe at the ballot box instead of undercutting it. call their 100% U.S.-based customer service team. They're going to get you set up. PatriotMobil.com slash Dana. 972 Patriot is the number. And don't forget to use promo code Dana to get that free month of service.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. All right. First up here, I have another crazy story. add this is a little bit of a last minute this one florida man's dialed oh my gosh nine one one over 16 000 times yeah 72 years old uh in the first oh my gosh during the first five months of this year alone he placed 3,400 calls to 911 16 000 calls to the to 911 uh he apparently was they arrested him because he was stalking a neighbor and abusing the 911 system

so he would call in and claim all kinds of stuff and like for instance he called in last week claiming someone was shooting a rifle in the road outside of a st petersburg residence and he was just mad at his neighbor because his neighbor was having a family barbecue and they had small children and that was literally it uh the neighbors were like that never happened what is going on who called and made that uh so his name i don't know how you would say this well the person who was targeted told told cops that he's had unfortunately hundreds of interactions with the police because this guy Samuel Lee Thomas who lives across the street constantly calls 911 on them to maliciously harass them and their family for no reason. So he was stalking false report of a crime, resisting arrest,

abuse of 911. Wow, he's got a lot of calls. He's free on bond. and he's got several charges. He also has in his rap sheet battery convictions, DUI convictions, bad check, check fraud, violating probation. Shockingly, he hasn't been busted before until now for abusing the 911 system. How is that possible? Right. I've got some questions. I'm like, wait.

I did the math, and that actually averages out to about 23 to 25 times per day, per day, Saturdays and Sundays and Sundays. that he's calling 911. Wow. What the heck? I have no idea. Okay, so this argument in Florida over mangoes ended with one dude pulling a firearm and another guy. Rodrigo Mendezable, 29. He was arrested after police said that he pulled a gun on a dude with mangoes in Miami.

Oh, my gosh. Mango's in Miami. That sounds like a fruit dish at a healthy breakfast place. The 29-year-old's been accused of aggravated assault on a person 65 years or older. I read another piece that said he actually is a, he's a prohibited possessor, so he was in a legal possession. But he got no fight with another guy who was picking mangoes. An elderly man was driving by Miami home. He saw a mango tree.

He decided to go and get some. But you really can't do that, though. You can't pick fruit off of a tree in somebody else's yard. That's actually theft. But the police say the woman who greeted him allowed him to take some. Then she became impatient. And she called Mendezable and he showed up and I don't know.

Then it, long story short, it got out of hand over mangoes. This is just idiotic. We have a lot more on the way. Don't go anywhere. Third hour next, Caltech, the PR 57. It is chambered in 57. It's the lightest, thinnest 5-7 that is on the market. And with the PR-57, a couple of things that make it so

Family-owned company made in Florida. KELTEC is where you can find the PR-57 chambered in 57. It's innovation performance KELTEC-EWapons.com. Tell them, Dana sent you. POTUS has his new flagpole. He's spending about $50,000 for each of these. And this is one of them that's going up. That's like a $50,000 thing in case you wanted what a $50,000 flagpole looks like. Like that flagpole is like half the size of like, you know,

it's a that's a huge flagpole. Look at that beautiful flag. So two new flagpoles. He had said, I always wondered, why doesn't it have a flagpole from the grass is what POTIS said. So they're also renovating the Rose Garden and this he's paying for this one it's 50,000 per each and look how big that flag is okay so here's a very funny thought that I had you know how hard it is to fold a fitted sheet like what happens when you got to take that down and launder it and fold you know what I mean like I'm just saying you know like how hard would it be to fold that oh my gosh but that's uh that's at the White House earlier today welcome back to the program being a lash with you I actually did not realize that it, I've got to be honest, that it didn't have one already on the grounds, like they're in the lawn. I didn't know that. So they have been doing new things with the Rose Garden and he's doing some things that he's paying for. I think the ballroom, isn't the ballroom they're getting, he said the White House doesn't have a ballroom and it's something that he actually talked about with David Axelrod. Trump said that he talked about it with David Axelrod before.

But is this one where he's also, is he footing the bill for this? Or is this like a private, a partnership, private and then Trump? So again, how does the White House not have a ballroom? Why would you not have like balls there, right? Because you, I'm just thinking about this. Like at all of these other grand places of government elsewhere that I know, they have like those facilities there. within those buildings, yes.

Yeah, it looks like he is. He says here, compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump, the White House will be installing and inspecting the site of a new ballroom. Well, there you go, right there. Well, that's good. Look at that. So that's going to be interesting to see that all finished. I'm curious to see how it's decorated and what's done.

So welcome back to the program. Also today, a 6-3 decision. The Supreme Court has upheld Tennessee's law that bans the genital mutilation of minors and what they call health affirming, or what does that even mean? Someone said, I've heard gender affirming. What does health affirming mean? It's more semantics is what it is. It doesn't even make sense.

It's like nobody's even trying to make this stuff make sense anymore. The Supreme Court ruled that the quote, the court's role is not to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic of the ban on surgically mutilating minors, but only to ensure they didn't say surgically mutilating minors. They were talking about the surgery, but that's what it is. They said they want to make sure that the law. law does not violate equal protection guarantees and it does not. Questions regarding the law's policy are thus appropriately left to the people,

their elected representatives, and the democratic process. And that is a, well, and they're right on that. They were trying to argue that it somehow did violate equal protection. At least the attorneys did for this. And it just simply, it just does not. So that would, that's good news indeed to see that upheld. Although the way that I was looking at Thomas's, Justice Thomas's concurrence, he said, quote, the case carries a simple lesson. In politically contentious debates over matters shrouded in scientific uncertainty, courts should not assume that self-described experts are correct. I mean, we have immutable truths of sex. So, you know, that's, you know, the way that that works. But that's a very interesting indeed. Very interesting indeed. So that. That's a very interesting indeed. So that. That's. That is huge, I think.

I mean, obviously. Is it me, am I overstating it by being concerned that a third of our Supreme Court believes that minors should be able to do this? I don't think, I don't want to speak for them because they're leftists, so they probably do. I mean, if they were, if they were being, you know, unbiased jurists, then it would be whether or not. Because the argument, the cases it's presented before the court isn't. whether or not they think this should be allowed. It was always about whether or not it violates equal protection clause. And the court found that it did not. So I don't know what logical gymnastics. Yeah, the dissent is jumping through in order to come to the conclusion

that it did violate equal protection clause. I'm not, I don't know about that. Then remember they, and we're in Supreme Court season. So they had, they said, that they were going to hear these challenges to this ban, the Tennessee ban on gender affirming care for minors. And they're on a 6-3. And the majority opinion written by Chief Justice Roberts, and they sided with Tennessee allowing it to remain in place. And that means not just for Tennessee, but the other states that have passed these bans, those rulings and that legislation is also going to stay in place. And the argument that I'm seeing, I mean, I'm trying to under, they, I don't even understand

what they were arguing, how in the world. The language is very specific that this is about minors. Yeah. So what? It really felt like, though, that the lawyers for arguing for it were really trying to conflate that with like adults. Because I was reading some of their arguments. And it was actually that, their conflation.

in order to hide the fact that it specifically was predicated upon minors made it kind of difficult to follow. Because you had to constantly go, wait a minute, this is about specifically minors. That's what Tennessee's case was about. That's what all of these cases are about. You're talking about people who are not, they can't sign contracts, but they can't go to, you know, get their ears pierce, but they would be able to actually consent to a surgical procedure that would irrevocably change them forever and make them entirely for the rest of their lives dependent upon pharmaceuticals in order to function. And the hormonal abuse isn't even part of this. That's the other thing. The amount of hormones that they give to kids, guys, the adverse effects of this, there is no long term, not that you need one, but there are no long term studies on the adverse effects of pumping prepubescent children full of seriously dangerous high levels of hormones. there is none.

It is crazy. I mean, you keep hearing, like, what is it? Like bodybuilders that do, that get hormonal treatments. And then they come up with, they have these, you know, horrible effects that they discover years after they've been using these hormones. I mean, I can't even imagine what it would be like with someone who hasn't even completed gone through puberty. You know, it affects everything from bone density, your muscle mass, your, the chemical

balance in your brain. I mean, it affects everything. And there are literally no long-term studies that show this. So how is that informed consent? When you're not informed on what the end result is going to be, no one can say with 100% certainty what the long-term effect of that sort of abuse, or if you want to call it treatment, what that would be. So that's what I don't understand. informed consent, isn't that like a key element in all of this stuff? So how was that informed consent? It doesn't even make any sense.

So I I mean I can't I mean the argument that the people promoting those that they had was unreal to me. Now of course on the left you have lawmakers that

everybody from Chuck Schumer to goodness this woman this is representative summer lee there's so many she's on oversight committee she's democrat Pennsylvania this is how they've been

saying I'm just using her as like the avatar for all of these lawmakers that are saying the same thing this is what they're all saying talking points literally have gone out she says quote trans youth and their health care I know trans youth youth and their health care are under attack

and our highest court has joined in on the assault. She says, while this ruling is no surprise from a right-wing court stacked with extremists, it leaves families and young folks vulnerable. Our kids deserve to live authentically. I want to stop at that last line for a moment. What do you mean live authentically? You are who you were born as. That's the authenticity. They are arguing that you should live in authentically while arguing that it is somehow authentic. You see that? That doesn't make any sense. The authenticity is who they are. They are already perfect. They do not need any other, you know, they don't need to be chemically castrated or surgically castrated. They don't need to be,

have their systems overloaded with abusive, dangerous levels of hormones. That is an inauthentic existence. So why are they trying to redefine what it is to live authentically? This is like some 1984 Wong speak kind of stuff. This whole idea of gender affirming care. You don't need to have surgery. You're not affirming your gender by changing it. You're doing the opposite. I mean, you're not affirming your gender by mutilating genitals. That doesn't make any sense. sense. So are you surprised that the court did the way that it did? I don't know. Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that three fell on, you know, the wrong side here. I think it's the wrong side here. We don't have any long-term data. These are kids. They seem to not have a problem,

you know, adding more vaccinations to kids' schedules. So to me, it just seems like there is no real care unless we decide that there's care for these kids. No one's going to protect them. Like Big Pharma has a big hand in a lot of this, whether it be the legislation or any of the media push on this, Big Pharma's got a big hand in it. And I don't like it. I think in some respects, I think maybe at least I think the conservative justices also saw the detriment in making a determination about this case at that level.

because when Dobbs was decided, or before the Dobbs decision, Roe v. Wade, abortion was the issue of abortion, which if it's not an enumerated right of the Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, then why is it being determined at a federal level? I mean, that's actually unconstitutional. You're talking about taking issues that voters should resolve at the state level, that honestly families should resolve in the home, but for, you know, the purpose of discussion, that voters should solve at the state level. You're talking about removing that from any accessibility and ensuring. shrining it at the federal level. And that's what they did with abortion. That's what the left was wanting to happen here. They were wanting the federal, they were wanting the Supreme Court to with one decision, remove this and make it untouchable to render it completely inaccessible for everyone at the state level. And the court said, no, this actually should be, this is for this democratic process in this republic. And Sotomayor, of course, she wrote this dissenting opinion. opinion and she had to read it from the bench and all this stuff. But I just, I don't, I don't understand the, the argument that this was somehow a violation of equal protection. It was one of the

dumbest things I've ever read. It was similarly, intellectually void in the same way that arguing that abortion was a privacy issue, right? Even if the court would have decided this at some point, I think it would have been overturned with another case, with another challenge. because they were making, the left was making the exact same mistake with this case as they made with Roe v. Wade and they were trying to straw man a completely different issue on which to predicate this argument. And Ginsburg warned them about that. And she said this is going to be overturned at some point, and it was after her death. This was very similar. They've not, they haven't learned their lesson with making these intellectually and logically and legally shaky arguments. They have not. We have a lot,

which goes to show you there's not because they can't i mean when you have to go to that extreme to to try to make then maybe you need to re-evaluate whether yours is the right one to make we have more to come as we rolled awards headlines our partners that help bring you the program it's our friends at superbeats the new products super brein from the makers of the superbeats heart shoes which are all about healthy blood support you can invest in metabolism and blood sugar support for less than a dollar a day when you get superboreen at sam's club it supports that healthy metabolism and healthy blood sugar levels.

I wouldn't go here to this cafe. It's a, I mean, just because they kind of scare me, owners of Florida's Capabara, Capi Barra Cafe, they get 100 customers today, a day.

I don't know, they're like, they're giant rats, though, aren't they? Capi bars are apparently friendly. Aren't they? Apparently. I mean, this is the description. feed pet and snuggle the world's largest rodent. They're native to South America, capybara's. And

you actually can meet them and hold them and pet them. I mean, good for you. I just, I don't know. I don't know about that. The cafe is owned by Noah's Ark Sanctuary. They're like, if you had a rat that you mixed with a dog, it would be a cabibara.

Yes. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Are they good eating? Oh, no, I don't want to eat them. I just don't know that I would want to pet them like that though. But anyway, they have one and they have a little hay barrel in there. I mean, look, I'm all for it. Me personally, probably not my jam. Just like I'm not a big fan of bug meat and I don't, you know, I'm not really into like giant reds. Although I did have a field mice that I secretly kept in my room for three months over the winter and my mom accidentally found it. Granted,

I was 15 when this happened. And I fattened this thing up and my mom's like, great, you fattened it up to be a snack for a snake. And I'm like, you're, you're. the meanest woman alive. But anyway, I don't know what. I just took this whole segment to talk about that. Let's see. Oh, somebody drove a Mercedes down Rome's Spanish steps. That is a big bad note.

You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question.

Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component in what time exactly, sir? Sir, would you strike it? Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch? I mean, you don't know that I'm going to even do it. You don't know. I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.

I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble. trouble and they want to negotiate. And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before? All this death and destruction. Why didn't you negotiate? I said to the people, why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done fine. You would have had a country.

It's very sad to watch this. I mean, I've never seen anything like it. It's so, you know, everyone thought it was going to be the reverse. I didn't, I didn't think so. And I was telling him, you got to, you got to do something, you got to negotiate. I love it because Sir, what time are you going to do? Can you let us know so we can come and watch? That is the perfect.

Remember Barack Obama used to telegraph everything. They would telegraph absolutely everything. And I think making it to where you want their quote unquote supreme leader over there to not have any idea what Trump's going to do. You want him to think, oh my gosh, this dude with his giant white hat is going to push the button at any second. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. part about this video was the construction guys behind him. Because the moment they asked that question, the guy that's standing to Trump's right had this look on his face. And you could tell he was trying so hard to not like laugh. And he's like you can see even though he's got a beard, you could see

kind of his little cheeks go in. He's trying so hard. He's like, oh, they did it now. They did it now. And then Trump kind of looks around to them like like, like, really you expect me to tell you this? that is it's actually funny I think some of this is about the pressure campaign to the Ayatollah and look what gets me is that there the United States has not even fired a single shot

and just with Israel doing what they're doing and then Trump you know saying well I may do this I may not do this you don't know their whole regime fell apart that's it their whole regime fell apart that's it

their whole regime fell apart. Now China's kind of, they're not saber rattling, but they're going, oh, well, you know, you've got to stop this. This is bad. Even Russia said you have to stop. Israel needs to stop. Well, really stop what? They were the ones who responded to aggression. So they're responding to the attack that Iran had perpetrated upon them when they fired missiles.

And that was the escalation. I even told you guys at the time, I was like, ooh, they've been. bypass the Houthis and Hezbollah and Hamas over this. They, they, goodness, that's very interesting. They bypassed all of this stuff. And they just immediately went at Israel. And that was the first escalation because they, they had not, that had not been done before. So for Israel to respond the way they did, it was totally well within. They were well within their rights. Stop off. They were well within their rights. This is all assonine. This is all crazy. So I liked his response there. Now, the U.S., in the meantime, I'm going to bring this up, because Lorraine flagged this for me, moving towards the Middle East for Iran. You know, we have the USS called Vincent over there. They were supposed to be relieved by the Nimitz. Later, the Nimitz was going to be in Vietnam for some ceremony on June 20th, and that's been canceled, and they are currently en route to the Middle East where they're going to join the Vincent. So at some point, they're going to be there simultaneously. Now,

The other thing that's happening is another carrier. The USS Gerald Ford is being deployed. That is our newest and biggest aircraft carrier that is being deployed. Now, the Vincent, I think that, I think the Vincent was supposed to be decommissioned in 26 because it is an older carrier. However, just because it's an older carrier does not mean, you know, that it's not, you know, still a, a badass carrier. When we were in Pearl Harbor and we were on the USS Missouri, that battleship,

I mean, it's old, but didn't it get, I don't want to say retrofitted. What am I looking? Maybe it did get retrofitted. What am I looking for? They improved. Like they did some improvements on it when they were in Iraq and it was sent out to Iraq. So, I mean, now, obviously, it's, you know, retired.

But even though it's an older carrier, It's still going to be better than anything they got over there. But now we're sending the USS Gerald Ford, and that's going to be a third carrier. And Lorraine thinks this, and I think too, I think it's going to replace the Vincent. Because the Vincent was already in the Persian Gulf. Nimitz was going to replace it. Now the Nimitz is going to be out there, I think, with the Ford, and then they'll send the Vincent back. So that's – but at one point, we will have three out there simultaneously.

which is kind of interesting. So we've had also this New York Post piece, several other warships have left the U.S. naval base in Bahrain as a part of increased military movements. Now, that doesn't mean we have aerial refueling tankers already sent. That doesn't mean that that's all being, you know, designed for use of force. Having those assets in the area, just merely the presence of these assets in the area by itself is a show of strength.

And what is the phrase? Peace through strength. I don't, that's what I ultimately think that this is, this will be for. Peace through strength. Now, what is, what is Iran going to be able to do? What are they going to be able to do? Who knows? Not much.

Because a lot of what they have has been utterly destroyed. Whether or not we, um, get involved with the, uh, bunker buster. If we go into four now, if we go into that, uh, try to, to, which I think, Israel would be able to. I keep reading conflicting reports as to whether or not they would be able to, but I mean, I think they have the ability to do it, just stay out of their way. But this is going to be, it's a very interesting, and I mentioned this in the first hour, this is a very interesting choice that the administration has because the conflict at this point is over, really. The hard thing is over. The regime has been completely defanged. They, and it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it,

I think the regime is secondary and it's more of a mission to Israel, although it benefits everybody because before the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis and before, you know, the late 70s with, you know, with Carter, you know, it was a Persian nation. And then you had the Islamic revolution there and the uprising. I made note of this to Kane. I'm like, you know what's interesting to me is that the, all of these movements, everything, whether it was the cultural revolution in China, or whether it was this Islamic revolution in Iran in the 70s, it all began where college campuses. Go back and look at history. All of these revolutions, especially the bad ones, began at college campuses, particularly in Beijing, and then in the 70s in Iran,

where the Shah immediately was viewed after he went to the United States for some treatment. He was in the hospital in the U.S. It was viewed as, oh, well, he's a U.S. puppet. The Shah is a U.S. puppet. And then we had Iranian students, and they called themselves the Muslim students following the line of the Imam. They were the ones who stored the embassy in Tehran and took 52 Americans hostage. Those were students. And that lasted for over a year.

and then you had the overthrow of the Shah, and all of this was laid in place by Jimmy Carter, and it was a CIA op. It absolutely was. Speaking of the Shah, I had tweeted this. This was kind of interesting. The son of that Shah, if I can get this to work, which it's not going to work.

The son of the Shah, it was very interesting. It was tweeting about the Iranian people rising up and pushing back against the failed regime. He said, quote, the Islamic, it's Reza Pahlavi. The Islamic Republic has come to its end and is collapsing. What has begun is irreversible. The future is bright. And together we will turn the page of history.

Now is the time to stand up, the time to reclaim Iran. May I be with you soon? Whoa. Look, they had no king's protest. And now they're going to get a king. No, I do think that's interesting. That's incredibly interesting. Hmm.

So I That's very interesting But the people over there The regime is not its people And the people are not its regime And they They had the IRCG out there And I'm hearing

I've been hearing from a lot of We have friends that have I like Iranian spouses Or some Iranian family members And they won't I have one friend in particular Who is from Iran and will not go back Will not go back

Will not go back, would not even go back for his mother's funeral, would not even go back. Because he just, he's like, that regime, he's like, if they think you're too westernized, they target you. And that's what a lot of people don't, I think a lot of leftists

apparently don't realize. The people over there, every single time they try to rise up, that regime just, it comes down on them so hard. Like right now, there were reports of them when they were being told, when the president announced a couple of days ago to get out of Tehran, they were trying to block

the roads and prevent people from leaving. They were trying to shut down the internet in a lot of places. They do not want their people seeing video of other Iranians rising up and like burning pictures of the Ayatollah and all the stuff which they have been doing. They don't want to show any of that stuff. They're definitely not going to show that on their propaganda TV. They want people thinking that they are entirely alone and isolated. And I think that that's something that needs to be taken into consideration because they want them to think that the United States is is like it was under Obama, where Obama turned his back on the people when they had the green revolution over there. But this is all incredibly, I mean, again, it's something to watch.

But this, it was that Islamic revolution. And then you had the rise of the Aitola and then all of the anti-American sentiment and that sentiment. We've been dealing with us the entire. time for years. So the regime change is kind of secondary, and I think that's more, might be more of Israel's. I mean, obviously nobody wants a nuclearized Iran, but the regime change is something different entirely. And that's what Trump, I think, I don't think it's so much an issue as to whether or not he wants to aid Israel with giving munitions. I think it comes down to that pottery barn rule. You break it, you buy it. So if you break the regime, you're going to have. to buy the cleanup. And then that gets into, you know, how does that work? What, you know,

who would it be? What does that even look like? There's so much stuff to discuss there. And is that, I don't really believe that that's something the United States should be involved in. I understand the arguments from some of my dear friends who say that it benefits our national security and we absolutely should. But that, it just gets, you have to understand, and I say this to some of our older listeners, although our older listeners have been right there too the entire time. We have always grown up with us. Like Kane, our entire lives have been nation building. That's true.

And it's not just Democrats. It's also Republicans that have done it. We grew up with that Bush doctrine. And I'm not, I'm just saying that we get very, I had, for instance, in my family, we had more, we had two generations of my family that fought the same war in Iraq, the same war. For some of you out there, maybe it was three. So we just are very, very hesitant on stuff like this for good reason. It's because we've been burned so many times.

So be very kind to people who are very hesitant on this stuff because all of, like my friends are kind of split. Although I will say, wait, where's the story yet? There was polling that was taken. Let me pull this up. Polling that shows the majority of Americans actually do. support Trump aiding Israel and by majority I mean 86 percent. It's higher obviously with hardcore Republicans. But in general, when you include independence, it does not fall like you think it would. The majority of Americans actually do back the aiding of Israel, you know, bombing

like these nuclear facilities and, you know, doing all this stuff. because I think that people realize having a nuclearized Iran is very dangerous.

There was an Iranian government jet that was captured on satellite fleeing to Oman as the country is now dealing with power outages and internet blackouts. Interesting. Who do you think was on that jet? Could have been the Ayatollah? I'm just wondering.

It landed in Oman, which is, by the way, also the site where we, the U.S. U.S. and Iran had their nuclear discussions, their nuclear talks. It's Al Jazeera, so take it for, you know, but they verified the flight data. The Iranian government didn't release any details, but it was seen as an Iranian presidential plane. It was, apparently there were three aircraft that landed in Oman, and interesting. So, hmm, and in the meantime, Iranian-funded Hezbollah, threatened to launch terror plots on U.S. troops and naval targets. It's not going to go well for you. They got really rocked by Israel last time.

You guys don't have Syria backing you anymore. Bashir al-Assad is gone. You don't have that anymore. You do not have that safety net. I suspect it's probably the I-tola that's on one of those jets. Yeah. I mean, you flee to escape prosecution or escape death. Exactly.

There's the two reasons. So they are fleeing. They are fleeing. So, hmm, very interesting. We'll continue watching all of that. the meantime, make sure you subscribe over at Substack, all kinds of good stuff that comes out there on the regular.

And that's why the state of New York is providing $50 million to cover legal services for people who are fining themselves in this situation. How much money?

$50 million. Is that, uh, to defend illegals? Is that, she paying that herself? No, that's taxpayer money. Yeah. Oh, it's taxpayer money. $1. Yeah, you get to us.
