I have a tweet here. Which one's this? What I would love is to have you read this in your voice. If you'd like to just take a shot at it. Well, I mean, wow. Tomorrow history will be made. Now, I'm not going to be as effectively as the person that you may recognize is on true social. But in this case, we push this out on Twitter.

Caroline Levitt will have no answers. Well, hold on. I don't need to breeze right through the brilliant go on. It's not just Carolyn Levitt. Caroline. Caroline Levitt. No answers for the supposed fake media about California's beautiful, big beautiful maps. People are saying, people are saying, they're the greatest maps.

They're just saying this. They are, Brian. People are saying the greatest maps. Many people have heard them ever created. even better than Christopher Columbus's. Donald will the failure, Trump, be warned that tomorrow may be the worst day of your life, all because you missed the deadline. He misses a lot of deadlines.

Liberation Day for America, G.C.N. I should have said, thank you for your attention to this matter. He is such a snarky little... He is a snarky person trying really hard to be somewhat kind and FCC compatible for the lack of a better way to put it he's dramatically reading these like true social things that's what he's doing

and he's making fun of you know he's trying to make fun of the redistricting and everything and the DC crime and all of this stuff the um it's kind of amazing this uh the post that he put out well it was him but it was his

press office did you see that the other day where he literally he typed it all in caps lock and then said thank you for your attention to this matter you know he's it i didn't think oh i i tweeted it and i said i would like to report murder by cringe because that's it was just really cringy and i just don't think that that i don't know if he thinks that that's going to be a way like a great way to talk to people or to reach out to voters or whatever but it's it's not going to be welcome to the program dana lash with you that's that's right at the top, that's Gavin Newsom. You guys know Mayor Gavin Newsom. And the ongoing battle over the

issue of crime and cleaning up DC, one of the reasons, and I was thinking about this last night, one of the reasons that they're so unbelievably mad about it is because it highlights the, they're in action, not just, you know, recently, but for all of these years. Because people are asking, like, well, we're paying all these tax dollars and what are we getting for it? We're getting carjacked and we're getting our houses are getting robbed and it's a nightmare. What are we getting for this? And they're realizing

this is like one of those moments when Democrats' policies, the reality of their policies are come to the surface and it's impossible to explain it away or deflect it. And you know, attacking Trump isn't

going to be the thing that does it. I hate to tell them that, but well I do. I love to tell them that what I'm talking about. It's not going to be the thing that that's not going to be the thing that does it for them. So welcome to the program. We got some things to set up because you have POTUS, Alaska today. Today is the big day. And so that is, he's supposed to be talking to Putin in Alaska today. We're going to dive into all of that. We've got some of the latest too with, we got foreign policy. We got some culture. We got all of that. So welcome. And if you see me in my eyes look swollen. I'm going to address it now.

Your girl had a serious allergic reaction. We don't get days off. So there you go. Don't. It's allergic reaction edition of the show. That's what it is. I wore the rain. Horrible news?

Are you allergic to horrible news? Oh, I'm allergic to apparently like almost every type of makeup. Yeah. It's super fun. That's like a whole wellness episode that I should do one day. So when everyone's like, oh, you had this done or that done, I'm like, I can't have anything done. I'm allergic to everything.

I can't have anything done. What are you talking about? What are you talking about here? All right. So this, let me pull this up because I've got some stuff. I was watching this too. I'm opening this up now.

So headline that stuck out to me yesterday was this where they were taking this, I almost said, I almost made up a word, POTUS deployed spy planes of worship and a sub in an escalating response to a massive threat in the southern the southern caribbean sea now i saw this this is like one of the first stories i saw this morning and i thought what is the threat and you know how when you wake up you're not you're not all the way i wake yet and you're you're just sort of you know coming to and you kind of roll over and you know i'll read some you know my my daily devotional and i'm flipping through the news and i saw the story and my not all the way their brain you know what i thought came

Kaiju. I'm like, there's a threat in the Caribbean. It has to be a kaiju. Like some attack on Titan kind of stuff. No, it's dealing with the cartels. So last week, if you remember, Potus had ordered the Pentagon to prepare military options in the region. And now DOD's ordered the deployment of U.S. air and naval forces.

And I, that's going to be to classify them as, or to classify the cartels, rather, excuse me. as a terror group. That is, it opens up a whole new way to deal with these entities. And the admins said that they had deployed at least two warships to help in border security efforts and drug trafficking. Remember, they offered to Claudia Shinebaum down there. Can I, is it not PC if I ask what Claudia Shinebaum's family was doing during World War II? Okay.

Does that mean, don't care. So they had offered her. the use of some of our troops to help combat drug trafficking and the fentanyl and all of that. She was all indignant and she refused. And she said, oh, she declared that the country's never going to accept the presence of the U.S. Army in their territory. So except when we took Texas. So the, I would think that if you, because she's a cartel puppet, let's be real. I mean, you can't really get up anywhere in Mexico without being one. Wouldn't you welcome that? well, I guess unless you're worried about the cartels coming to visit you, then you would welcome it until

that point. So they said that they are looking at specially designated narco-terrorist organizations in the region. So they're really getting serious with the cartels. Do you think came that the cartels are going to be swayed by the presence of, I mean, military? I mean, we sent two warships down there. Are they going to go, wow, we could die? and take a gander around? Possibly, or because there's a lot of drugs and a history of them having control, that it'll probably end the only way it can. I mean, you really only need, like, a couple of teams to send down there.

You could get that area in shape. You're reading my mind. You know what I mean? It's all you need. That's all you need. So, excuse me, so we're our, that's definitely one interesting development. Now, obviously, we're keeping our eyes on that. Now, in the meantime, you have POTUS going to be talking with Putin. A high-stake summit. It is a high-stake summit. They're going head-to-head, as the Wall Street Journal says, head-to-head with clashing objectives. And it's the in-person, it's the first in-person meeting since the start of their full-scale invasion of Ukraine. And they've had conversations on the phone since then, but they've, they haven't been, you know, talked, they haven't spoken in person. So they're going to be

talking. This sounds like a Mission Impossible movie. It's a high stakes talk at a military base on the outskirts of Anchorage. It's going to prove a revealing test of wills over which of the two presidents will back down. I really don't think Trump will. I know a lot of people who hate Trump think that he's going to back down to Putin, but I don't think that, I don't think that he will. And the reason I don't think that he will is because out of spite. Trump has more spitefulness than Putin does. And if absent anything else,

that's a great motivator. It is a great motivator. So they're meeting, high stakes meeting, and they are coming together to discuss, well, they've been talking about it. This is Audios somebody 13. He was asked specifically about guarantees for Ukraine.

Listen. Just one thing. What about the possibility, the United States providing security guarantees, to Ukraine, maybe, along with Europe and other countries. Not in the form of NATO, because that's not going to, you know, there are certain things that aren't going to happen. But, yeah, along with Europe, there's possibility of those.

Oh, possibility. I saw this as well. You know, we talked about Sergei Lavrov, who's, he's the guy who met with Hillary Clinton and she gave him that reset button. He's their foreign minister. This is such. So petty. Sergei Lavrov, he showed up wearing a gray sweatshirt.

And the gray sweatshirt was emblazoned with the letter CCCC, which is the Russian letters for USSR. And he had a black puffer vest over it, but that's what he was wearing. He was wearing a USSR shirt. He's trying to troll over Ukraine. How old is he? How is LeVos? I don't know. Yeah, I think so.

He was the guy who got the, and here's the video of it, Juan, showing you, this is how he legit showed up. He comes in and he's got the USSR sweatshirt on. Yeah, that's the CCCCC stands for USSR. So that's, he was trolling. Comes in wearing that. And he kind of, he sort of obscures it with a black puffer vest, but he makes sure that it's kind of open in the front so you can still see it. That guy's a brat. That is a brat. You know what I would have done? I wish POTUS would have thought about this. When someone asks how petty are you, I turn into Richard Petty. Yeah, turn into Tom Petty.

Yeah, turn into Tom Petty, any one of the amazing Petty's, you know. I would have had a guy somewhere out there with like signs or T-shirts or something. The KGB's still watching you or something like that. Like I would have like all the memes like in Russia, you know, I would have had a guy with signs or selling merch. engaging in some kind of capitalism, you know, right out, right outside there. And then maybe, you know, just because it would make Putin mad have like a picture of a, I don't know, like a, like a Reagan picture or play the Reagan speech or something like that would have had something. So Ukrainian officials are not invited to Friday morning, to the summit this morning in downtown

Anchorage. Now, Trump has said that his goals are to convince Russia to agree to a ceasefire in a meeting with Putin, Zelensky and himself so they can have formal peace negotiations. But the fact that Lavrov showed up there, and he wouldn't have done that, by the way, if he either didn't have the clearance from Putin or if he thought that Putin would have a problem with it. Because he doesn't want to get, I mean, he doesn't want to get fed to dogs or be, you know, a snack for some Siberian bears. He doesn't want that to happen. So that was with, he did that. That's a, they did that on purpose.

And that's fine. You guys can wear your sweatshirts. you know, that's fine, you know. By way, how's that pipeline up north? Oh, wait a minute. Anyway, all right.

Now, Rivian is losing $41,000 for every car sold. That is not a business model. Check out the watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Foreclosures rock. They're up in Vegas after some rip-off prices, but you know what? I was talking to a friend of ours, our Vegas Larry friend who lives out there.

Why does everybody think that Vegas is just the strip? Like all of the rat pack stuff is outside the strip. You know, like actual Vegas, it's all outside the strip, and that's where they're not like nickel and diming you for absolutely everything. Vegas, though, and a lot of it was previous

Democrat policies where with the housing market. So they've seen some foreclosures. Some people said that Trump boycotts are also behind some of it. But what? That's so dumb. That is so dumb. Clark County, again, all Democrat areas, like Democrat ran. They had 200 default notices filed in June. But they said it's high rates. And by the way, the uncertainty, this precedes tariffs. This is just an excuse that they're using. It's so stupid. And any kind of reduction in tourism would be related. That's still a tail off of the pre-pearl. We're still not out of the Biden economic era. I don't know why people think that we are, but we're trying to punch out of it. But it doesn't happen like that. It's not a switch that you can just flip. We're going to have to explain this with Carol Roth at some point in the future.

Let's see here. Apparently, now they're saying gay dating apps are threatening to expose Republicans. Wait, do they think that there are no gay, like identifying as gay Republicans? I'm curious about this. Because there are actually a lot of gay Republicans. They're going to try to use that overfell and versus Hodges case. That's going to be something they use as this SCOTUS tries to figure out whether or not they take that Kim Davis case.

But the, they were, this argument how, that somehow you're going to have dating apps that are threatening to expose Republicans in the face of this. I think all of them are pretty out there anyway. You know, that's the, that's the thing. They're all, I mean, everybody's not like, ooh, this isn't 1990. Shut up. Let's see. Ooh, Shanday O'Connor Biop is in the works from the slow horses folks. And I think it's going to be called Nothing Compares. You know, Prince wrote that.

And then he gave it to her. He loved her voice and he wanted to hear her singing and it blew him away. So apparently they're doing a buy-up of Shnade O'Connor. And it's the Irish production company that's done Slow Horses, Power of the Dog, Lady Macbeth, all that stuff. So it should be pretty good. Also, let's see here.

Oh, my heavens. Would you do those ladies? Woman has her late husband's tattoo cut from his corpse and framed as a cool tribute. She says it does so much more than a picture. She doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve. She wears her husband's tattoo that was on his arm in a frame on her wall. They, it's, wow, it is, yeah, it was his first sleeve tattoo and their favorites. Is it weirder than ashes? Because I think it kind of is.

Yeah. I mean, I don't know. They said they used a marker to outline the tattoo they wanted to preserve and then the mortician carefully removed the skin, put it in a special preservation kit. inspired by an Ohio company, and then they sent it off before his body was cremated. And it's his, it's very, I don't know what, I don't know. I mean, everybody mourns differently, so I don't know about this one. We have a lot more in stores. Stick with us, bottom of the hour.

That's pretty queer.

Wow. I can't stand. So that guy's not a pastor, but he's pretending to be a pastor. He's not a real one. Man alive. I'm going to tell you something, these people that do this stuff that claim to be shepherds, when they get to the gates and they're expecting admittance, clearly they have not read scripture where it talks about shepherds misleading people. I would, I mean, you want to talk about shoes I would never want to be in. Oh, boy. That's what this, this progressive, somebody called him an imposter,

which I think is great. That's, wow. And stands up there and he's got the rainbow flag and all this. I don't even know what other stuff he has up there. that's just a major problem. A major problem. There's false shepherds everywhere. Tons of false shepherds.

You have this guy who, I mean, I'm looking at his setup. It's all like identity politics. Like he's got the pride flag up and all this other stuff. Pride's the sin, by the way. So it's fitting, right? I mean, even the devil can cite scripture and apparently can stand up and pretend to be a pastor too. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you, bottom of the second hour. I feel like they see, you know, this.

they see everything through the lens of sex because it's all they think about. Absolutely all they think about. I mean, that's pretty blasphemous to stand up there and act like what you're doing is a representation of faith. I'm going to tell you something else. I found it no different than that nun than George Stephanopoulous's sister. And there were some of these, I call them digital Bacabazi that get out there and they were having fits about because we had Shadi Kulul, who is an actual Christian who lives in Israel. and part of the Mother George Stephanopoulos's arguments were something like how there's, you know,

there's just no Christians there and they're treated so much better by Hamas. I mean, you know how this pastor can stand up there with the pride flag and say all this stuff? So can Mother George Stephanopoulos put on a nun's habit and say the same thing. It's no different than a man who dresses up as a woman. She's a trans nun, a trans Christian, someone who isn't but pretends judge them by their fruits. you have the power of discernment. You can see. So I was looking at some of this yesterday. I will triple and quadruple down. I mean, I'm not sitting here trying to flex, but clearly some of these

people don't aren't, aren't familiar with me because I will not only dig the trench, I'll bury you in it. This idea that you're going to hold up someone who is pushing division. And that, you know, interview, one of the things that the discussion with shoddy, I think, highlighted. And, And you have to forgive me today. I've got allergies. And, you know, we're not Fox. So we don't have all these little little things. You know, we got cameras for three hours.

So the thing that stuck out to me was just how purposefully divisive she was. She can sit here and call herself a nun, but I'm not going to call. I don't recognize her as someone who shares my faith because she's out there pushing Qatari narratives. It's a, it's Qatari propaganda. My speculation is that Qatar is paying a lot of influencers, including some on the right. to divide alliances in the Middle East and push a Shia Islamism that serves Iran and Qatar. That's honestly, I mean, it all makes sense.

And usually Occam's Razors, that, you know, the most, the simplest explanation is typically correct. I feel like that is applicable here. And this is, there are a lot of these false pastors. You have Lorraine reminding us of James Talariko. He calls himself a pastor. that guy's not a pastor. If you're out there misleading your flock, I mean, look up what about the millstones and depths of the sea.

That's what's waiting for you. But there are a lot of people who misrepresent. There are people who fall short because we're all imperfect. There's only one person who did not fall short, which clearly this pastor is missing in the audio that we played coming into this segment. But this idea that, and I watched this, I saw this unfold in comments yesterday and I saw it this morning. Oh my gosh.

How dare you criticize that George Stephanopoulos's sister, mother none? How dare you? How dare you criticize Mother Hamas? Sister Hamas over there. She doesn't even live there for 20 years. She lives in like, I think what, like upstate New York or something like that? New Hampshire. That's where she lives, I think.

She doesn't even live there anymore. But the point is that it was a lot of very easily debunked narratives. and many people have, and we talked about it on the show, kind of blew it apart. But you have these people, and they are on the woke right, and I've been talking about them for a while, and I say that they're on the woke right because they use identity politics just like the left does. The same way that the left uses identity politics to try to stake a claim or to try to increase victimhood or do anything like that, that's what the quote unquote woke right does. And they hate when you use that phrase, but that's exactly what they are.

They are just like the left. They just think that somehow it's more virtuous because they claim to be on the right. And it's not. I mean, these are also the same people that are pitching you, the idea of paying women to have babies and a standard, like a national minimum wage. They're the exact same people who promote those things. So yes, judge them by their fruits. Use your Christian discernment. But there is an absolute effort. And it's so blatantly obvious. I think that there's a bunch of Qatari bots. I think they've compromised a number of people on the right. If I was a betting person, I would absolutely put money on it. Absolutely. You would be surprise the people on the right in commentary and in politics, some of them names that you know, how easily it is for people to be corrupted when they spend just enough time in D.C. When they spend just enough time being flattered by people with money and people who are in power, pretty much anybody will turn. I have seen it happen so many times. It's one of the reasons why we stay where we are. We stay in the Midwest, Missouri, to Texas, and I will not move east of the

Mississippi for nothing. Love Florida. Florida might be a little different, but otherwise, I am moving east to the Mississippi. I like staying here away from all of that perversion because I've seen it happen to too many people. It's just weird. I don't know about Tucker's background. And, you know, full disclosure, I consider him a friend. I've known him for years. He helped elevate the school board fight that we had here. But I've got to call balls and strikes. And I don't have blind allegiance to, you know, just anything. And I just find it, you know, I just, with something like this, I feel like you have a responsibility to disclose people's associations, especially when it's a Stephanopoulos, especially when it's someone who has benefited from Clinton power. It's widely

reported that George Stephanopoulos helped his sister using his power that he got from Bill and Hillary Clinton numerous times to help her with specific things. I mean, that's privilege. That's entitlement. And anytime there's destabilization anywhere or an effort to destabilize anything, why is it always related to a Dame Clinton? There's always a Clinton involved. Whether it's Libya with Sid Blumenthal and how as Secretary of State Clinton was trying to get in there and they were trying to maximize and exploit everything. They wanted Gaddafi out. I guess they thought they were going to take in and install a puppet government, but they completely underestimated the factions of the different terror factions in the area. Gaddafi, for all of his faults, was the only

person keeping them together because they recognized a brutality greater than their own. That is the only thing that they respond to, a brutality greater than their own. And it showed an absolute illiteracy of foreign policy in that area to do what they did. De-stabilized a whole damn region. In the vein of Jimmy Carter and the Shah, every single time there's destabilization. in a modern era since Carter's now dead. It's always a Clinton. In Egypt, same thing, getting behind the Muslim Brotherhood. In Honduras, same thing.

Back in a dictator. Every single time. In Iran, they ignored the people in the streets. And they back the Ayatollah. Every single time. So is it truly shocking to see them trying to undermine the Abraham Accords? Because it's exactly what this all comes down to.

They want a divide in the Middle East between Christians and Jews because somehow they want you to believe that Hamas and Islamists have been better to Christians than Israel has. I don't care how much of an anti-Semite you are. If you can't acknowledge that that's just a bunch of hogwash, I mean, the only thing that can explain your absolute lack of education and stupidity is that you are a product of inbreeding.

There is no other way to explain it. Now, I will suffer someone's wrong opinion if it's predicated upon something, you know, that all the, they got a criticism with the Israeli government, et cetera. That's not what this is. These are just people who are morons or who are ticklers for Qatari overlords, and they just hate Jews. And they want to find something that confirmation bias so that they can feel justified and just hating Jews. That's what it's all about. That's the new thing.

That's the new trend on the woke right to hate Jews. And it's always people who are really leftists that are pushing it. Again, judge them by their fruits. but it is an absolute effort you need to be aware of. And there are a lot of pretty, you know, high-placed people that have been compromised. This stuff just doesn't come out of nowhere like this. And it's very interesting. I feel like the Qataris think that they have to compete against the Saudis.

Qatar is such a small country. They feel like they got to compete with the Saudis. The Saudis are getting involved in, you know, sports and all of this other stuff. And all of these people have been accusing the Saudis of like, I think I heard the phrase, sandwashing their past sins of a previous ruling leader, but you know, let's ignore that. But I feel like they're trying to sandwash their past offenses. That's what they've said. They're trying to sandwash their past offenses.

Or maybe you could look at it like the Saudis doing film and fashion and gaming. They're doing e-sports and soccer and all the football, all of this other stuff. Maybe sports is washing them. Maybe Western entertainment is washing them. Maybe gaming is washing them. No one thinks about how it goes, you know, the other way. But there is a, this is all a power play in this region because it's between these factions. The Qataris, the Iranians, and then their little subgroups of Hezbollah and Hamas,

and they're facing off against UAE and Saudi Arabia. They're facing off against all of the Abraham Accordinations and the nations that have indicated that they are willing to sign the Abraham Accords. That is where the division is. That is where the division is. And it's very interesting that they're now trying to divide the biggest supporters for the Abraham Accords, people on the right, including Christians and Jews, and they're trying to find someone that they can use, that they can hold up.

Oh my gosh, how dare you criticize Mother Hamas? Sister Hamas, how dare you? She's a Christian. She's no more a Christian than Bruce Jenner is a woman. So she puts on a nun's habit. And, I mean, there are men who use the women's bathroom here in the United States and they call themselves women. And what's your point? Even the devil can cite scripture.

If there is going to be a real offense against that in the Middle East, they have to divide that group into two factions. And that's exactly what they're doing, what they're trying to do. I think most people are smart enough to see that. But then you've got a lot of thirsty influencers on the right. They would be happy just to gobble up Tucker Carlson's crumbs. It's so desperate. These people are absolute clickhors. And they would be happy for those crumbs.

And so they try to get in on it. No, they amplify it. If you notice all, like on social media, and a lot of you who don't live on social media, I understand. Don't change that. Some of us, because the nature of our work, would have deleted our accounts a long time ago, but we stay there. But that is where this stuff is

fought. And that's where you can see these narratives. It's the germination of all these narratives. Before it hits your television screens that you might catch at night, before it hits the discussion at your workplace, before it hits, you know, the discussion between classes at your kids' college campus, it happens there. And there is a real intent. There is an absolute organized effort to drive this division. So be very, very discerning on this stuff. Because this lady, this, sister Hamas, like I said, she hasn't even lived there. She's been busted so many times pushing Pallywood, false stories that anybody else, if you got caught doing that in your place of work, you would be fired. You'd be fired after the first defense, fired definitely after the second,

definitely after the third. And then you have Shoddy. who was on the program yesterday, a Christian who lives his faith, and he calls balls and strikes, and he criticizes the treatment that Christians have received in Arab nations. And he tells the truth about how he lives in Israel. And these people lose their minds because he is a living affront to their narrative. I'm telling you, this is a big problem on the right right now, this effort, organized effort to divide. And too many people are scared to speak out about it. but because they're not independent.

They all get a check from some media entity or this media entity or they got a sponsor here or there. They're terrified to talk about it. Note the ones who do and the ones who don't. This is the time when you are just a much of player in this as any of us that are talking to you on screens. Because your discernment is where the key is. We have more on the way. The folks who will bring you the program. Burn a gun.

It's always good to diversify your weapons array. because, you know, you carry different calibers, you carry blades, you carry pistols, you carry all this stuff. So why not have something when you are completely disarmed from basically doing anything due to private property restrictions, municipal and local restrictions? This is where Burn a gun comes in. I think it's a really good remedy for any kind of, for the issue of, can your college student who's not old enough to carry a pistol but still needs to protect themselves, protect themselves. Burn a gun is, it's a pistol, but it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50. feet away. And it's easy target acquisition, no recoil, legal in all 50 states, requires zero background checks, zero permits, zero fees, zero anything. It can be shipped right to your front door. The SD, which is

the pistol, it's the best-selling model, and then the new CL, which is more compact. It's smaller than the SD, but you're not losing on any kind of power with it. You can go and choose your color, the accessories, all kinds of stuff. But it's a great way to diversify. your weapons array and make sure that even when, you know, you're not able to carry or maybe you're not old enough to carry up, but you're like living out of town for college.

Geez, take a cough drop. STF you. Jeez. Like, I'm just worried about climate anxiety. Oh, my gosh, you're entitled. B-I-S-H, please. I'm upset because of the weather. I've got weather anxiety.

We'll get an umbrella. You know who that is, right? That's Kamala Harris's stepdaughter, who got a modeling job because her mother was the vice president, her stepmother was the vice president of the United States. That's why. She's a Nepo baby. Yeah, she legit got a modeling job.

Dude. For me. Yeah, I don't even know, man. I don't even know. even know. It's just really wild. But that's what do you? I have climate anxiety. That's weather anxiety. It's weather. Stop. I think she just has regular anxiety. I think she just is a brat. I think she's just an entitled brat. You know, other people have anxiety. They have anxiety about being able to afford stuff from her mother's term, her stepmother's term. They have anxiety about

crime. They have anxiety about inflation, making sure that they're saving a nest egg, making sure that their kids are taken care of. All she does is just sponge off of her parents.

And she's like in her mid-20s. She works as a model. And she has anxiety about weather. Spare us. When I hear people say that, if I was president, I would like sign a

executive order that they can get slapped. Free slaps. We got a whole other hour on the way, stick with us. Are you tired of doctors telling you no? Can't get affordable off-patent medications?

In the office with President Trump on Air Force One, heading in, what's your initial feeling, how are you feeling about what you're going to get out of this? I think we're going to do very well. Our country is doing very well. We're setting records economically like we never have before, including the stock markets are all at a record high. We're taking in trillions and trillions of dollars with tariffs. We're going for a meeting with President Putin in Alaska,

and I think it's going to work out very well. And if it doesn't, I'm going to head back home real fast. I mean, if it doesn't, you walk. I would walk, too. Ooh. Well, yeah, and I think you will. I actually, I do think that he will. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you.

We are at the top of this second hour. And that's Trump on the, he's on his way to Alaska. He's on his way with Alaska. Audio Sunday at 14, this is him talking a little bit more about this, too. Listen. We were the hottest country. We were a dead country, a dead like doorknails, a dead country. One year ago, we were dead as a doorknale.

And now we have the hottest country. and he wants a piece of that because his country is not hot economically. In fact, it's the opposite. And China's not doing well economically, but we're all, look, I want everybody to do well. The war's going to stop and the killing's got to stop. Well, there you go.

We'll see. I mean, this is the first time that they are meeting in person since everything with Ukraine began. And they've talked on the phone, but that's not the same thing. so we'll see but he says yeah you know it's uh you know he's got he's got business he wants a piece of the american economy i'm going to tell you that is that's important that is incredibly important to be able to do that that's i mean that changes nations look at japan they wanted a piece of the of western economy i mean look at the look at sotid arab emirates and they wanted a piece of

the of western economies and they they wanted to get in and be players so now they've got expansion and doing all of this other stuff. It's the way it is. Audio Soundbite 16. Journalists from the Kremlin's media, the Provda, like all their papers are government run. There's

not a lot of hotel rooms, so they have to stay in makeshift accommodations at a local sports arena. Look at this. Still better than Soji. It's probably better than what they usually get, I would think. That's a lot of cots in there. It's better than Soji.

Remember that at the Olympics? And people were talking about stuff falling down. It was like a Jacques Tadi film. The whole, like, all the hotels that they, if you haven't seen Playtime, it's this, one of the funniest films I've ever seen in my life. They don't talk in it at all. It's not a silent film. They just don't talk in it.

It's French director Jacques Tati. It's one of my son's favorite movies. And they, they're making, fun of, you know, snooty people and ridiculous traditions that we invent just with my, it's just goofy. But he makes, it's a, it's satire. And I just felt like Soji was the satirical real life extension of that, of that playtime film, especially the restaurant scene where they had just built this restaurant and everything's falling apart and it's a very fancy restaurant and they're trying to keep up, you know, the, the optic. It's very interesting. But yeah, that's, they got a lot of

people, they got a lot of people staying there. Now, the, he was talking about, he, here, it's, I feel like Trump already cut the idea in case anybody was talking about NATO and Ukraine. It's not going to happen. But when they were asking, I wanted to play this once more, when they were asking him about security guarantees for Ukraine, because I already see people on social media trying to, like, go at him over this. And it's like, he literally just said that there, it's not going to be NATO. Listen. Just one thing. What about the possibility of the United States providing security guarantees to Ukraine? Maybe along with Europe and other countries. Not in the form of NATO because that's not going to, you know, there are certain things that aren't going to happen. He just immediately got that. Yeah, along with Europe. He's right there. I think he's correct there. I mean, we've got enough welfare recipients on NATO. We don't need to add more on there. So he's correct with that. So this was, this should be very interesting. Then you have Nancy Pelosi.

She is immediately saying, I just don't know why he's going there to do this. Listen to this. But I wish him well on that. I don't trust Putin at all. I don't know what Putin has on the president that he just be coming to Alaska. I shouldn't be going to Alaska. Russia claims Alaska. Oh, for crying out loud.

Is she drunk? Notice how none of these. people had, they had no condemnations when Hillary Clinton was meeting with a head of Muslim Brotherhood to push them to take over Egypt while they were a banned entity. Let's, let's ignore all of that. Unbelievable. This is so goofy. These people are so goofy. But she, I mean, the reason that he's going, that he's talking to him is because it's, regardless, it, you, sitting down a meeting with someone isn't an endorsement of your perception of their trustworthiness. just because you don't trust them doesn't mean you shouldn't keep the lines open.

I mean, in fact, I would think that that means that you want to be able to have that access more, even if you don't trust them. But this sitting down and engaging in diplomacy isn't a statement of faith in their trustworthiness. That's so stupid. What a horrible, what a dumb argument to make. That's just a bad argument. This is diplomacy. The fact that you have to engage in it at all, I would think, kind of in a way, signals the fact that there isn't trust.

there because you wouldn't have to have diplomatic negotiations if you could just fully trust the other individual, correct? Exactly. So we'll see. We'll see how this all, we'll see how this all goes out. So a couple of other things to discuss because we've talked a little bit about, and you can see our interview with Shadi Kalul, an actual Christian who's living in Israel, who was disputing the narratives that were being spewed by Hamas apologist and trans nun, I mean, meaning that she's like not really actually a shepherd. George Stephanopoulos's sister, sister Hamas. She's got decades of saying this crazy type of stuff that's been debunked, et cetera, et cetera.

Anyway, you can find our interview with Shadi Kululul. It's up on YouTube, Facebook. It's clips, some clips of it are on X as well. So you can check all of that out. Now, in the meantime, this, I wanted to share this story from the Washington Examiner that were in yesterday. If you get the prep over at Substack and Chapter and Verse, you got this. A lot of people questioning whether or not you can trust the statistics coming out of D.C.

That measure crime, the answer being no. And the story of the police chief that was fudging these stats to under reporter, just really undercount crime at large, that's been making the rounds. But so is this. This headline, a man went to prison for assaulting me. D.C. police crime stats show he was never arrested. What? Yeah, it's a true story. That's, this is another example of why it's incredibly difficult to say the monitoring statistics for crime there. The reporting of this, apparently this is like they're grossly under reporting violent crime in D.C. So this person was saying, saying how they were walking. It was Saturday morning a couple of years ago, leaving their apartment on Capitol Hill. They were going to mail a package at the post office, and it was just a couple of blocks from the Capitol. The writer says she puts on her, she put on her black sweatshirt

and sweatpants and headed out the door. She never made it to the post office. She said just one block from my apartment building's entrance, I was attacked by a large man well over six feet tall. She says he charged at me for a reason I still do not understand in broad daylight on a well Travel Street. It was Second Street, Northeast, next to Union Station. She said, I fought to get away as he sexually assaulted me. She said if it had not been for others in the vicinity, including a construction worker who heard my screaming and ran to my rescue, I don't know that I would be here today. And she said that even though she has a background working with federal law enforcement, she writes, it was only through my experience as a victim that I learned personally of two ways that D.C. police and courts failed the public. She says her attacker was arrested on the street months later, charged pled guilty to sex abuse, nearly two years later. The crime cards, she says that the Metropolitan Police Department, their online statistics page supposedly counts, omitted it though. They just didn't even count it. She asked MPD why the incident was not on its crime map, and they said that it only includes first-degree felonies under its crime stats. That would mean for every person robbed or assaulted or sexually abused in anything

less than egregious ways, you would not have been counted into the total tally. If your pain isn't severe enough. If your injuries aren't severe enough, she writes, basically, well, I mean, she says the pain if you suffered wasn't severe enough, according to MPD standards. Now, just pause on that for a minute. So they were saying that her suffering and what she went through wasn't enough to count that as a stat. She kept following up on it. And she said that her attacker, the crime against her landed him in prison, but yet he still was not listed. Including, she said she was at least trying to get the map to represent or at least log all of the sex abuse cases and convictions and charges. And they said that the impede crime cards states on its page,

OCHRA provide more clear information about the more serious sex assaults that are closely aligned with public perception of rape and attempted rape. Public perception, what? They said that they only include these most serious abuse categories. And all of the left-leaning reporters, they use these stats as a way to communicate to people that, oh, well, no, look, the crime is actually not bad. People aren't getting, you know, there's no, like, sexual assault or anything like that. She said that the D.C. police did do something correct. On the day of her attack, they collected her clothes for DNA evidence. They said they had a match of a DNA of a homeless man who had been previously arrested. But then when they arrested him, he was immediately released

from jail by the judge who presided over the case. And they said they didn't want to keep their jail from overcrowding. She's a single woman who's attacked one block from her front door. And they weren't going to jail him until trial. Now, he lived basically in a tunnel just two blocks from where she lives. Now, how are they going to ensure her safety if they can't even get, you know, sexual predators off the streets? The George Floyd riots happened.

They were delayed his trial. It was set to begin in. fall of 2020, but then they delayed it by a year. And then it got delayed by another six months. And the, she thinks it had to do because of all the January 6 cases. Yeah. And then the man who attacked her was still out there. She tried to move across town. And he was arrested. After he attacked her, he attacked other women. He was arrested in five separate incidents. Every, this is after he attacked her and every single time the judge allowed his immediate release, even when he was caught swinging a machete in public. So they said that, she says, D.C. police must have been as aggravated

as she was because he keep arresting the same guy over and over again. So this is, that's, I mean, her story is, there are a lot of people that have not had any justice. And it's because of the way that they run this in D.C. Now, remember the case being delayed over and over again. And, Remember what I told you. You have federal courts. Basically, it runs like a federal court. And the judgeships are, I think, what, 20% at a disadvantage. They have a lot of empty seats.

And they're just not, nobody's paying attention to that. That's a major problem because now you have justice delayed for her case. I can't imagine being attacked a block from your door. And then the guy who did it not only is allowed to. stay out there before his trial. But then until his trial, he attacks five other people. This is, crime continues because

elected officials and weak judges and bad prosecutors allow it. I think that they are just as culpable. I think the city is responsible, especially because he has, you know, all of these priors. You're a violent offender. I think that violent offenders, if they are released by these judges and they're allowed to go out

and offend again, I think the judges should be culpable as well. I think the judge is, should actually be arrested for not doing their due diligence and allowing these violent offenders back on the street. Because if this guy was to attack a female judge, holy hell, they'd throw the book at him. If he was to attack a judge, oh my gosh. But since he didn't attack a judge

and he'd just attack some random women, it's allowed. You know, believe all women or whatever on the left. It's just sickening. Yeah, there is a... I'm glad that they're doing it because this is what happens. You don't do your job. The National Guard will get sentenced. to do it for you. As we move, our partners that will bring you the program based in Florida,

you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So everybody's favorite pastime is to talk about how hot it is where they are in Israel, it's 120 degrees apparently. Yeah, they've got Jim and Christmas. That's crazy. It's a record-breaking heat wave, like one of the worst that they're talking about. Unusually high.

It's going to decline over the weekend. That is insane. 120 degrees. That's like Phoenix at its worst for a week. Woof. Mississippi may require age verification and parental consent for social media, according to a Supreme Court. Let's see here.

I don't want your stupid pop-up ad. It makes me hate the company. Supreme Court allowed Mississippi to enforce the state law that requires the nation's largest social media companies to verify the age of the users and obtain parental consent for minors. They said they want to protect kids

from online predators. Apparently since parents are just like, yeah, go ahead and get on the internet. I don't know, what? Yeah, they said that it's like, apparently Kavanaugh said that in a brief concurrence, that it's likely unconstitutional, but that the companies who sued

had not sufficiently demonstrated that they would be harmed by a temporary order from the state. So that's kind of interesting. Also, an object resembling a helmet was spotted on Mars's surface by rover.

Well, I think it's pretty sick and pathetic. And it just said everything you need to know, the setting that we're under, that they chose the time, manner, in place to send their district director outside right when we're about to have this press card. Should everything you know about Donald Trump's America, and that was top down, you know that for a fact. They'll deny it, I'm sure. Maybe they won't deny it. Should everything you know about the authoritarian tendencies of the president of the United States, I said in a moment ago, wake up America. Wake up. You will not have a country if he rigs this election.

You will have a president that will be running for a third term. Mark my word. I wasn't exaggerating when I said that I received in the mail a Trump 2028 hat from my first. He's one of his biggest supporters. These guys are not screwing around. The rules do not apply to him. The most corrupt president in history. He doesn't believe in free enterprise, crony capitalism. He is wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. It's a lawless president. Wake up America. Wake up to what's going on.

Guys, they sent me a hat. Can you believe they some one of his supporters sent me a hat. I mean, it's a meme. They're trolling him. rolling him and he's so he takes everything so seriously can you believe that one of the supporters sent me a hat 2028 hat because they're they're stunting on you man that's why welcome back to the program dana lash with you or at the bottom of the second hour it's big my gosh it's Friday there is not enough we do not have enough patience to deal with that man child today oh my heavens so gavin newsom he's having this press conference and he's i thought i just thought was hysterical that he

a meme hat. I mean, anybody can make a hat, but he somehow took that to mean, well, he's going to rig the election. How are you going to rig the election? What do you mean, midterms? He's going to rig. This is what Democrats are setting up. No one wants them. No one wants them. They're the annoying person at the bar guy or girl who won't leave you alone. You know what I mean? Guys, you know what ladies, you know who I'm talking about, right? Just imagine. Men, it's that annoying chick, right? She's, you know, she, you don't want to jump on that landmine. You're not going to allow your friends to jump on that landmine, but she will not take no for an answer, right? And or ladies, the man who won't take no for an answer.

He keeps insistent on buying you a drink and he wants to talk to you. And no, they don't get it. Democrats don't get it. They don't understand that the American public is not into what they're selling. It's why they keep losing and losing and losing and losing. Nobody wants these policies. Come on. It's just

But now he's there So he's there And he's whining You know he's saying What did he say that he's He's not for a free market Yeah Not for free enterprise

He's like the Sister Hamas For Democrats Gavin Newsom is You know George Stephanopoulos's sister Who puts on Maybe no one will notice

She puts on a habit And then spits poison Gavin has less of a mustache But yeah True. But while he's there, ICE got busy. They, well, audio sound about 11. Border Patrol Chief just, they were arresting people right outside of this press conference. It's just hysterical. Listen to this. We don't know. What happened?

No, we're here making Los Angeles a sacred place. Since we won't have politicians that'll do that, we do that ourselves. So that's what we're here today, as you can see, already making it a safer place. We're glad to be here. They're not going anywhere. And you know, the governor's inside right there. I didn't, I don't know where he's at. He's about 100 feet behind us.

Do you have any comment from him or anything? Any message? We're making Los Angeles and California a safer place. We're going to continue to do that. And they can take that one to the bank and cash it. So Gavin Newsom has a press conference and ICE shows up and starts arresting people who, like, repeat offenders here illegally. And arresting, I mean, that's what happened.

If you and I break the law, we get arrested. Why are people who enter the country illegally allowed to break whatever laws they want? That's the question. So Karen Bass was very mad about this. So she shows up. Audio son by 10. My gosh, this is like a sitcom. All this stuff is happening outside, right?

Kevin Newsom's inside. I can't believe it. Someone said they were going to send me a red hat. I mean, he's going to steal the country. And then ICE shows up outside. It's like a sitcom plus South Park. And they start arresting everybody. And then Karen Bass shows up from wherever the hell she's been.

And she sees all these ICE agents. Well, just watch. I cannot believe that this just happened to be a coincidence. There is no way this was a coincidence. This was widely publicized that the governor and many of our other elected officials were having a press conference here to talk about redistricting. And they decided they were going to come and thumb their no in front of the governor's space. Why would you do that?

That is unbelievably disrespectful. It's a provocative act. They're talking about disorder in Los Angeles, and they are the source of the disorder in Los Angeles right now. This is just completely unacceptable. This is a administration. This is a customs and border patrol that has gone amok. This absolutely has to stop. There was no danger here.

There was no need to detain. They're enforcing the law. So wait, if I don't pose a danger to you, I can do whatever I want. Is that the new measure? Oh, my God. Gosh, there's so many ideas that I have, Kane. If that's the new standard for whether or not it's considered illegal, then I'm going to run like, I'm going to run amok with that.

A muck, a muck, a muck. I'm going to run crazy with that. If that's the standard, well, whether or not it was dangerous for you. I'll, yeah, I'll take those terms. Challenge accepted. She's just mad because they got played. They got spanked so hard. And they made a big point about it. So here they show up.

You've got I swarming. There's more. Audio Sumite 9. They're swarming. They're arrest and all kinds of people. These board, look at this. These are arrests right outside of his press conference. Rived just outside of the downtown L.A. venue where Governor Gavin Newsom was actually holding a press conference today.

And it appears that those Border Patrol agents are making arrests, illegal immigrants that I don't know if they were at this press conference, if they were in the area. But this is a very, as John put it, when we first saw this video, it very in your. face way to let, you know, Democrats know that you are going to do your job, that you're going to carry out these Trump policies. Can you just respond to this video? We're watching. I love it. I mean, they're doing their job. Karen Bass is so mad because they're not, she's not used to seeing people work and do their jobs. It's weird to her. They're like, what is this? Well, people didn't follow the law and they got in trouble. What? That's so mean. So are you saying that I don't have to follow the law. Oh my gosh. I've already thought of five laws I'd immediately break like in the span of 10 seconds,

Kane. And I was sad that it was only five. It should be more than that. I should have at least two laws a second that I would break because we have too many. We have too many felonies. We have too many all kinds of stuff. I'm just saying. So what law would you break, Kane? I mean, if that's the new standard on the left, by the way. Well, if I'm burgling something or stealing something like overnight, nobody's around in some empty business, wasn't dangerous for anybody or me. So I would be able to get away with maybe even stealing cars from a dealership overnight. We have, I'm not, I don't want to say too much. There's a neighbor friend of ours down our road that has the fattest, funniest-looking chicken, and I won it.

And they got loose one day. And I remember I pulled over on the side of the road. They were all these chickens were all over the road. You opened up your door, didn't you? Dude, I called my son. I was like, how fast can you run? run. And he's like, what? I'm like, I'm just down the road. And he goes, you mean run to you? And I go, no, like, after you get here, how fast can you run? And he's like, what are you talking about? I'm like, I got to get some chickens. He's like, mom. I'm like, no, there's some chickens in the road. And he's like, are you trying to get them to safety? And I'm like, in my car, yes. He's like, I'm not doing that. That's illegal. I'm like, ah, hang up. Finders keepers. I see a chicken. It's my chicken. I take that thing and run so fast. And then I crochet it some pants. I just want a pet. chicken. My grandpa had a pet chicken. His name was dumpling. I swear hands, all hands. If I had more hands

to throw up, I would, we ate it. I swear we ate that thing. My grandma, I think she just got old and we ate it. Did you have dumpling with dumplings? My grandma would make homemade chicken and dumplings. And one day, Dumplin was no longer there. She used to sit on the porch swimming with my grandpa, and he would sing, oh gosh, what is that song? Cranbone. He'd whistle Crambone. And they'd swing on the porch with this chicken. And the chicken would do it. I swear to you. and he he would the chicken would bother its head and he'd swing and he'd whistle crambone for for dumpling this the funniest thing she would peck anybody else to death but she'd love my grandpa anyway so as you can see early on I had a weird relationship with animals

so so you at Steve what law would you break if you know since it's if you're not hurt nobody you know that's the measure of whether or not the law the legality of the law is determined by whether or not it may hurt somebody. What would you do? I've lived in Virginia most of my life, and their open container laws are so annoying because the government controls every liquor or beer sales in the whole state.

I just want open container just to walk around and enjoy my summer. Wait, walk around? With a drink? I thought you meant in a car. I was thinking that you were talking about driving. No. So you can't even walk around with an open container?

In Virginia, you have to drink your drink in a zoned off thing with a rope with a liquor license to be able to drink it outside in Virginia. Wait a minute. What? You didn't know that? America. No.

Is Virginia in America? Yes. Okay. Are we sure? Weird to me. So you, okay, so let me ask, what if it's like in a Yeti or not a Yeti? You can try and get away with it, but. A stany.

Yeah, you hide it, obviously, but like, there's not, they don't enforce it that much, but it's annoying. Is it, I'm just suddenly, you guys, the audience will have to forgive me. It's Friday and I'm suddenly fascinated. So is it like, just, just, like, just. Just liquor or anything? If you're in a public bar, you have to be in a zoned off spot to have alcohol. You can't just walk.

Lorraine just said in Virginia, you cannot be in your front yard with a beer. Correct. No, what? What? That's not real. Is that real? What? That is the craziest thing I've ever heard.

So, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, full stop. Everything. Everybody just stop. We need a Richmond listeners to chime in because they'll, that's where I grew up. Richmond. What in the world? Oh my. So, so say you're doing some yard work, right?

You're cutting your grass. Which does happen. You're like weeding your flower beds, you know? In the summer. In the summer. It's hot outside. Like my favorite pastime used to be to do some yard work, have a cold one, sit on my porch, and watch my neighborhood.

And then I'd go inside and watch cops when it was on because that was the best show on TV. And I learned so much about policing. So anyway, you're telling you're telling you. me that in Virginia I could not, you know, do my yard work, weed my garden, you know, pop open a cold one, sit on my porch and watch the street.

I could not drink a cold one on my porch and watch the street. I'm not in a car. I'm in like a chair or a swing. Is that what you're telling me? They don't enforce it that much. If you're out at like a bar bar, you can't walk in the park a lot with it. That's essentially what they're talking about.

Is there no nuance though? Like you can be on your porch but you can't be in your front yard? probably can you be on your porch but not be in your front yard like this is all sounding really weird and crazy to me uh how are you not in your own property able to do that i don't get it oh my gosh it is including a front yard if it's visible visible to the public it's a class four misdemeanor and so lorraine adds yeah in the backyard have all the beer you want and the front yard no are you well how do i What if I go to the front yard with a beer? What if you only have a front yard?

Because I threw the football over the house into the front yard and I had to go get it. What if there's like a monster in your backyard and you've got to stay in the front? You know? You just, oh my gosh. Oh, man. And I'm not even going to go to Reddit because everyone's like, my neighbor got ticketed from drinking on the porch. What? All right.

So hear me out. If you put your front door in the back door and you just switch them, can you make your front the back. Like, can you make your front yard the backyard technically? You know what? I mean, if a man can say that he's a woman, I mean, I'm sure that you can say my front yard identifies

as the backyard. That's the spirit in which I'm asking. Wow. Wow! This is wild. I just looked to see if they had a castle doctrine law in Virginia. Interesting. They have a version of it. So I'd be like, I'd put a castle doctrine sign in my yard, sit on my pores and drink my beer.

I cannot believe I did not know this. So Steve gives, so that's right, I would break that all the time. Yeah. So, well, the other thing is, too, depending on whether or not you can enforce it, technically, you'd have to put it in like a stani. Right. And then, and what is somebody going to do?

Like, they're going to be driving by like, wait a minute, you look like you're drinking a beverage. It's in a stanny. My stany is locked. You've got a warrant for that. Look, it's locked. It's locked up. What? I have a big inflatable beer on my front lawn.

That's how I'd break the law. And pretend to drink the big inflatable beer? No, I'd actually not pretend and drink real beer. I would literally dress up as a PBR for Halloween and just walk all around. I would actually do that as an open PBR. Just a troll. I cannot even believe this in Richmond. That's crazy.

We have a big affiliate out there. I am floored. I cannot believe I didn't know this. I thought y'all were free. PBR is number one market. Richmond, Virginia. Fun fact. Are you serious?

I just like the bottle shaped red, white, and blue, you know? I mean, it's interesting. Woo! All right, we got more on the way, although I don't think we can top this. This is something else.

Well, a Florida man is in trial this week because he went out on a date and then had a dispute with his date over the dinner bill and then shot his date. What? Sounds like always sunny in Philadelphia. I swear. CBS says that Jamal Morland is charged with attempted armed robbery and attempted first degree murder.

He met his date on Grindr. Oh, God. And he apparently got mad and shot and killed the dude, or almost killed the dude. because they went to a bowling alley and in a liquor store. What a date! Going to the bowling alley and then heading to the liquor store! There's a date right there.

Every boy's dream. That's like the non-gayest date I've ever heard. He's a horrible gay dude. These are some bad gays. This is his year all bad gays. Going to the bowling alley and the liquor store, the hell? So he ordered food, wanted his date to pay. The date refused, and then Morlin became mad.

And then he dropped Morlin off, texting him. him up, picked him up and asked for $45 that he just got in a ticket. And then apparently he decided to shoot the dude striking him in the arm and chest. Good night. So he's that story has everything.

Like this one. A man is shocked, I tell you. Shocked because he discovered that he's had, he lives in Tanzania. He's had a knife in his chest for eight years. Apparently, he's had literally a large

knife blade lodged in his chest for eight years. Now, wait a minute, this is, is this a Florida man? It's in my Florida man story. Maybe, well, we'll claim it is. But, oh no, maybe it's a different one. Hang on, I may have messed up. All right, and I'm scrolling too much. Let me do this.

Oh, 25-year-old Florida man says he was driving 120 miles per hour because he thought he was racing the cops. Okay, you can't do that. You're not racing them. They're trying to catch you.

That's 1-800-the-number-4 relief. I've actually spoken with a number of grocery store owners

and made clear to them that I both recognize and appreciate the work that they have done, the fact that they are a critical part of our communities. And there's so much partnership that we can still offer those same stores in assisting them on the skyrocketing rent. that they are facing the questions of insurance, so much of that which creates instability in their business model, while also ensuring we're using every tool at our disposal to create a more affordable city for New York.

He does not understand any of this. So remember, he got in trouble when all of this first came to light because he clearly had no concept of how grocery stores worked or subsidies because he wanted to pay for the city-owned grocery stores in New York with money the city didn't have. that fun math. Welcome back to the program. Daniel Lash with you. Top of this third hour. Channel 347 direct TV, the chats at Rumble. We're also on X. He actually thought he was going to redirect city funds that didn't exist into doing this.

And he was, he was, I think it was the New York Post actually that blew him up. He thought he could take half of 140 million in subsidies to pay for his whole like government-owned grocery store scheme. But that money didn't exist because he read an infographic on a web website. He was doomed scrolling and he just read this graphic on a website and he's like, oh, it says 140 million was invested in a New York city's economy through fresh. That's the city's tax and regulatory program that for food providers. And it was all private investment though from the corporate grocery stores, right? The city only gave itself like, I can't remember what it was. It was like around three million in tax relief or something like that annually. And then Washington examiner said that it

would take 42 years for New York City to reach 140 million in tax breaks. He actually believed the tax breaks. That would mean like that you would not get the above and you would not get the investment from private companies. So his whole thing was he could. He could not understand basic numbers. That's how I can't. Oh my gosh. And now he's saying, now he's tripling down on it. And he's saying, well, you know, Kane, the store owners, they can be partners.

Wait, what? Yeah, the store owners can be partners. And what does that mean? Why would they do that? Yeah. He says he wants a partnership with like grocery store owners. well yeah why would they do that that's one of the stupidest things i think i've ever heard that's that no my dude experiment was done in kansas city

where the government funded this grocery store completely to the tune of nearly 20 million dollars and now today no food on the shelves things are stolen completely failed horrible horrible i mean i what is good night good night this is just so this he just does not

understand this how is he night he's 19 points ahead I was actually looking for the latest polling and I think it showed he was like plus 19 how

how is he he said he wanted hang on let me look at this quote part of a vision of public option for produce because for many

New Yorkers groceries are out of reach why would that be it couldn't be because your policies right it's because of big food It's big food, isn't it?

Big food wants to keep you from getting food. It has said there has to be a boogeyman. He's got to produce a boogeyman so he can produce a way for you to pay to save yourself, but not really from the boogeyman. That's what it's all about. He said that New Yorkers deserve the same access to produce as they do fast food restaurants just around the corner. So is he saying that big fast food is keeping out big, is keeping out little produce?

or what? Is that what he's arguing? I am so confused right now. Kane? I think that's by design because then if you're a constituent of New York who's just confused and you're like, government, you figure it out.

You figure it out government. And here's Mom Donnie walking in and be like, well, hey, let's partnership. Hey, that sounds good. All right. So far, what they've done in New York, by the way, they've done these partnerships, quote unquote.

They've never worked. They've never worked. And it hasn't worked anywhere else in the country. They know that this is a failed policy and they're just going to push it. They don't have big margins anyway and I feel like he doesn't understand that. I mean, they have like the tiniest margins. Slimest of margins in retail anywhere. I would not, I literally would not be in that business.

There's no way. I mean, there's just no way I would be in that business. You don't get rich selling groceries. It doesn't work that way. But it's big food though, you know, Kane. It's big food. Everywhere that they have been tried, they've failed. everywhere that they've tried these.

You know, we've talked about this before. They've, they've failed every single place, as Kane was talking about in Kansas City. Remember, he also said, too, I'm pulling this, this is the story I'm pulling up, where he acted like he was going to, he would have these stores buy things in bulk to save you prices, to save you on at the, on price. What an idea. No one has ever had that idea before. He came up with that just a couple months ago. Came up with it all by himself. It's never been done before.

Who would have thought of buying mass quantities to sell to people at lower prices? I've just literally never heard that, Kane. It's so wild. Who's done that before? Hmm. Everyone? Yeah. Yeah.

I mean... Just everyone. That's all. But that's... What do you expect from a guy who's never worked a day in the private sector in his life? His only job, I mean, that we know of anyway, unless he was, you know, an escort. The only job that we know that he had was he did a wreck. video that his mom directed. He's a nepo baby. And then don't forget his big old wedding in

Uganda where he talks about banning guns for everybody else. But then he had, you know, hired military. They had like spec op teams over there defending him from what? I don't know. There's a lot of problems with us. I want to, I want city-owned grocery stores that don't make a profit. And they don't want to pay rent or property taxes either. So, wait, what? but do people think that the reason that you pay more for food is because big grocery stores big like they're just greedy because I feel like that's the argument they have no idea how that works I was looking at this this is the food association July 2024 in 23 the profit margins in the

grocery industry hit 1.6% the lowest level a whole 1.6 oh my goodness The lowest level, excuse me, since it was 1% in 2019. And then the, I mean, I can't even believe this, NPR. NPR. What? NPR even. Quote, for almost all companies that NPR analyzed between 2018 and 20203, the margins either declined or grew less than 1%.

What? That's big pimping money, man. Spinning Gs. What? That's not price gouging, and that's no way to become rich. Well, tell that to man, Danny, because he apparently thinks it is. Yeah, oh, there's, but wait, there's more with the purchase of one slap shop. You get a new one.

They, uh, they, apparently they think that the reason why food costs so much is because the grocery stores make large profits. There was a, pull this up. Give me one second. I'm going back in. So this website is called Grocery Dive. This is an actual headline. June 6.25. Grocers need to do a better job of explaining prices.

How about, that's what shoppers say. Grocers need to do a better job of explaining prices, shoppers say. Shoppers need to be less stupid, say grocers. I will see your headline and raise you with a shoppers need to be less stupid, say grocers. Have they heard of competition? That's exactly how competition works and why this system of capitalism is even as successful as it. Guys, the future of New York is going to be determined by people who can't do math. Oh, my gosh.

I do you, okay, so here's another thing. What contributes to the cost of an item in a particular city? Think about those. Like different things in cities, what contributes to the cost of the cost of? those things. To answer directly would be regulations, taxes. Ah, okay. And it sounds like interesting.

Let's stop for that on this tax part. Let's talk about sales taxes, shall we? We shall. So with sales taxes in New York City, this is the New York City Department of Finance. And it's, it's pretty eye-opening. They have almost a 9% sales. tax. Their city sales tax is like four and a half five percent. They have the state sales. They have a four percent use tax. They have a metropolitan. I mean, this is commuter transportation district

surcharge. They have taxes on tons of foods and beverages as well. They, I mean, these are all like sales taxes that they have on this. New York State Department of Taxation and Finances has a whole, they have their listings of taxable and exempt foods and beverages sold and it gets into literally everything, grain products. Produce, by the way, bouillon cubes, baby food, cupcakes, fish, peanut butter, vegetables, vegetable juices, vegetable oils, everything, seafood, sausage, sandwiches,

everything. All of this is taxed. So they have pretty high sales tax in New York City. And that's one reason that they have to increase their food because think about it. If you have, not just NPR, but if you also have the food industry association saying that the margins are literally 1.6% for the grocery industry, do you think that grocers are going to absorb all of these, as Kane was saying, the regulations and the taxes and all of that stuff,

when they are only operating right now in a 1.6 margin? That would eliminate their margin with all of this stuff. And then also, let's look at the labor. When you have people that are working for you, in New York City, it is a hell of a lot more expensive. Their minimum wage is like one of the highest in the nation. I think it's like one of the top three highest minimum wages in the nation. It's something like $16 an hour or $17 an hour or something like that. And remember, Mandani had said that he was going to raise it to $20 an hour if he's elected. So do you think that that's going to make the stuff at the grocery stores more or less expensive. Considering all of these things, is that going to make it more or less expensive? I know. I mean, it's rhetorical. Of course it's going to

make it. Of course, it's going to make it more expensive. But this is a guy who does not, none of these people, they're all, they're all limousine liberal or limousine socialist, all of them. They're trust fund socialists. This stuff never worked. works. It never works. They had a store in Florida that closed after five years. And this was a city operated grocery store. It was in Baldwin, Florida. They closed in 2024 because they could not even break even. You mentioned the one in Erie, Kansas. They operated at a loss every year. There was one in St. Paul, Minnesota, that was, their manager said that they just, they oversee, they have like, No, they have, I think, less than 1.6 of a margin.

None of this. None of this works. It never works. So what, why do they think it's going to be different this time? This is what all these status always tell themselves. It'll be different this time. We have more on the way, including coming up, we'll talk about culture. We're going to talk to Gabe L. Taib, who is, he used to be with D.C. comics.

And I think more and more people, you've seen Justin Bateman kind of speak out, more and more people are feeling more more comfortable to speak out. We're going to talk to him about some of the stuff he does as well coming up. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Okay, so this is the headline that I accidentally read for Florida Man, but I figured you guys wanted to hear more about it because it's not every day that somebody figures out they've been living with a knife in their chest for eight years. Tasmania, 44-year-old, he had some discharge in his chest. It was weird. And medics were baffled. He had no other symptoms. He had no chest pain, no difficulty breathing, no cough fever, his vitals were totally normal. And then he recalled

an incident a decade ago and they were able to put a piece together. He had multiple cuts through his face, back chest and abdomen during a violent altercation. Doctors treated wounds at the time. And then life was uneventful ever since. Well, they did, I can't believe that they only then did do an x-ray, and they found a large knife blade literally lodged mid thorax. It entered through the right scapula, and it dodged any major organs. They took it out surgery, had to drain it because there was a lot of dead tissue there. He was in the ICU for 24 hours,

and he was there in the hospital for 10 days. And he's apparently, oh, gosh, I didn't need to see that. He's apparently okay. So, oh, my gosh, I can't even. Don't look at the pictures, Kane. Did it say in the article, like what it was? Like, I know it was from years ago, but. It looks literally like a carving knife.

like a giant carving knife. Wow. I am not showing you any of the photos of it because it's horrific, but oh my gosh. Let's see. Deputies were dumbfounded. They arrested a Lakeland duo because they faked a car crash.

This couple faked an actual car crash. A simple traffic stop turned into a comedy of errors and they ended up being arrested for it. Apparently they were trying to hide a probation violation and they were lying and acting like they were involved in a car accident. it's a very long story, but they figured it out, took him into custody, because you're not going to be able, sorry, nobody's going to be able to, you know, you can't come up with the story on the spot like that to hide the fact that you're violating probation and stick with it. It's not going to happen. Southern California man won't stop blaring horns from his house and the neighbors are infuriated. They say that they, he keeps blasting home alarms and a set of train horns every single day has no plans to stop. He's been doing it for months. It's an actual train horn. And they said that, uh, now, Now they're getting the police department's attention.

It is a noise, very much disruptive. Stick with us. Gabe Al-Taibe next. Not able to catch all three hours of the Dana Show? Subscribe to the full podcast and get news and laughs delivered in short, easy to digest episodes. Ideal for your busy lifestyle on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast. I was having a conversation with someone the other day. I'm talking about how, especially during COVID in lockdown, I just was so tired of everything, all entertainment.

Everything coming out of Hollywood is horrible. And I got really into anime. Like, I mean, I think I've seen almost every, everything for a monster to attack on Titan, manga, started getting into comics. And I wouldn't, I don't think it would have happened had it not been for COVID. And then what I realized is that there's so many great stories to tell. And now here we are in 2025. And Hollywood, which has never been, I mean, lately, it's been so incredibly derivative and predictable. I feel like they've been looking for things to ruin.

So they go back and they've been looking at like different series to ruin, different comics to ruin, different iconic characters to ruin. And I remember seeing this story. And it was a couple of years ago. And it had to do with Superman. And there was, how to put it, a storyline coming out in Superman, DC Comics, where they were talking about the man of steel and bisexuality and all this stuff. And I'm like, the hell does this have to do with Superman? This is true justice in the American way.

Like, what does this have to do with Superman? Come on. And there was an artist with DC Comics who was done with it. And it was very, very high profile. He was like, I'm done with it. I'm out. and he left and he's been doing his own thing over at big man comics. Gabe L. Taib is joining me now.

He's a writer-artist publisher of big man comics. And I love his story and I like how he just, he was done dealing with it and suffering that stupidity. And he said enough's enough and he joins us now. Gabe, it's so good to see you. Welcome. Finally, you reached, you were one of the first people to reach out to me those almost four years ago

this coming September, October. And I hadn't done a lot of media. So I was like, I don't know, I don't want to go on some show. You know, who's this lady or whatever, but sorry. Sorry, I'm here better late than never. How are you doing? Thank you for you. I'm doing good.

I'm doing good. I wanted to, like, tell people who might not be familiar with your story and talk about what you're doing now because I know you're doing some stuff with Dean Canning. You got a lot of stuff in the works, but you had your dream job. Like that, I can't even imagine how terrifying that you get your dream job. And then you realize, is it my dream job or is this the dream environment? Because it got real weird fast for you. It did.

you know, I've been drawing since I could remember, since I was like three years old, whatever. And I wanted to be a comic book artist when I was 12 or 13. I decided my favorite artist, Jim Lee. He's still there at DC Comics. He's a great illustrator, vice president of the company there. And he hired me in my 20s. I worked my butt off to earn that. It's an elite job.

There are less people that make a good living in comics than in the NFL or the NBA. It's so hard to get that job. And it wasn't woke at first, 2008. I started working for them. and as we know during like the Obama years, things started getting weirder and weirder and pronouns and all the stuff that start happening in media and comics and movies. And I just kind of kept my head down.

I didn't really tell them I was conservative, this and that. And it's like, well, it's not my book. It's not my book. And then eventually it was my book. And we're getting rid of Superman's truth justice in the American way slogan. That's disrespectful. And we're going to explore the sex life of Superman's underage son.

And I said, we're not going to do that. You're going to do that. I'm going to go and do my own thing. So see you guys later. Thank you. But I'm out of here. So that, yeah, that was four years ago, I think, this October. What was their reason for doing that? Did they think that they were going to bring in, like, other people who might not be into comics?

And that was going to, because you're alienating your hardcore base that supported you for so long. They don't want to read that stuff. Well, that's the cover story. Oh, we need to do the modern audience, the big audience, capture more people, more diverse, whatever. No, if you've ever read Atlas Shrugged, I ran Nails Six People. people, right? She nails the resentful leftists. And they hate truth and beauty. They're the kind of people where they see the quarterback and the cheerleader kissing and they're like, ah, when you see excellence, when you see success, when you see, you know, all that stuff,

you should be inspired and go, oh my gosh, how did they do that? I want to do that. How do I become a radio TV big shot like Dana? What's she doing? Instead of going, oh, Dana's dad probably owns the network, you know, she does like, so leftists, they see Batman, they see Superman, they see all this stuff that's awesome and they get mad and they, you know, they grit their teeth and like, let me destroy it. So the misery is a big part of it for them. They like knowing that they're ruining something you love. Oh, that's, that's good. We're talking with Gabe L. Taib, who's with Big Man Comics. And I'm going to talk about some of the other stuff that you had. That's a psychological deep dive. That's like a whole other topic of discussion, like why people

think that way. And they, like you said, they see success. They see exceptionalism, whether it's American exceptionalism, just individualistic exceptionalism. And maybe it's something that they don't have within and they feel like they got to destroy it or it's a threat to what i mean it is a threat to it's a threat to control exceptionalism is a threat to control right absolutely yeah they they uh i i feel like people either believe in god or they think they are god and it's like uh one of my favorite writers cormac McCarthy there's a villain in one of his books and he tells people that that that exists without my knowledge exists without my consent it's one of the most chilling things i ever read and it's like that's how the left is it's like if something is better than me and it's

not mine, then I have to destroy it. Instead of going, oh, how did they make Batman so great? Let me make my own Batman, my own original character, but like, no, I'm going to stick my agenda on it, my politics. In recent issues of Batman, they have him fighting billionaires and sticking up for Antifa, basically. You know what I mean? It's like they're just injecting their politics. They're moralizing their lecturing. And all stories have a message and a moral, but what you should never do is antagonize your audience. You should never have Superman saying, hey, audience, you're a bunch of racist and polluters and bigots. And this is why you're terrible. Because really, that's just the writers speaking through Superman trying to tell you why the

writer's a better person than you, instead of inspiring you the way Superman always has. So, you know, art is about truth and beauty. Art is just patterns. It really is scientific patterns. So when you write woke stuff and you put agenda ahead of just the patterns of how story and character work, you can't write good stories. And that's why the Marvel stuff that came out at first that everybody liked up to the Avengers thing was very normal pretty straight and then when they went with the the the M. She You were all the girl power woke stuff. Oh my gosh.

You see those movies just flopping over and over and M. she was not mine. That belongs to my friend Nerd Rorotic. He coined that term. That is so, yeah, I remember reading that. That is, that's true. I liked what you said too about when they were changing, you know, stuff like with Superman.

You were saying that your grandfather was reading this interview with you. He almost died in World War II. And, I mean, because that's, as Americans, I mean, we have like such, it's so ingrained, like everything to get this republic to where it is right now. And everybody's got a connection to that. And when you, when they do stuff the way that they've been doing it, it sort of feels like they are stepping all over that. It's like they're disrespecting everything that so many people have given for to create for what we enjoy now. Right.

Well, what is the lefts, one of their big mantras is smash the patriarchy, right? Well, what does Pater mean in Latin? It means father. These are people who are heartbroken and hate their father and they want to destroy. his world in everything he ever built. It's why they destroy Star Wars. It's why they destroy Superman. They hate their dad. That's what this is. And I'm not here to say whether their dad was right or wrong. But the whole thing stems back to family and fathers. It's your cultural patrimony is what this stuff is called, right? Yes. You are doing a project with Dean Kane, who is also signed up

with ICE. Tell me about this, because you started, this was announced. It's the all-American lawman. And I love the logo for this, by the way. Oh, that's a Glock 17, my first gun I ever had. And I know you're a big gun rights advocate. I work for San Diego gun owners. I speak at their events. So we're sympathetic on that. But when D.C. Commerce got rid of the slogan, Truth, Justice, American Way,

that was the first thing that made me really mad. And then it was the underage bisexual storyline. Like, no thanks. That's not why I got into drawing comics. And so the first book I made was analogs for Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. And we called the book Truth, Justice, American Way. Those were the code names of the heroes. people loved it and it was a classic throwback

and it wasn't lecturing you or if you were left doing either was an old Democrat suck I don't do that either I just entertain you like in the 80s the way you loved it I make fresh stuff that feels like the old Indiana Jones the old Star Wars but it's fresh because it's a new take for me and I'm not lecturing anyone

I'm just inspiring you and the first thing I'm doing is just entertaining it so we have Truth Justice American Way and then Dean Kane he noticed me on Twitter he saw what I was doing I got his attention so we became very good friends he's a really nice guy by the way we're actually friends and not just business partners. We came up with a James Bond, Indiana Jones kind of comic called Dean K, an All-American Lawman. And it's just a cool, a man of adventure, travels the

globe, beautiful women, awful bad guys. And it's like the stuff from the 80s where, like Indiana Jones from the 80s, where you could watch it as an adult and it's four adults, but you can let a kid see it and you don't have to worry that it's nasty with sex scenes and gore and perversion and cussing. So it's safe to hand to your eight-year-old nephew, but as a 40-year-old, you could read it and you're fully engaged and you love it. Yeah. There's something to that. The way that stories were told then where you could have multi-generations read them. You could be in the same room. You could be with your grandparents and your kids and your cousins or whatever. And everybody could watch it. No one's cringing because it's inappropriate. What happened to the art of storytelling where everything is so silent or everything is so hyper-sexualized that we don't, I mean, we don't see as much you're doing it. But there's so few people that are doing that type of storytelling anymore. Well, I think I'm a Christian. I'm never going to apologize for that. And in the Bible, that's out of the abundance of the heart of the mouth speaks is a verse, right? So what's in you is going to come out of you whether you like it or not? So when you have ugly, filthy stories, well, guess what kind of people they're coming out of? Right? That's what's in their heart. It's what they believe. All art is is is one thing only. It's self-expression. What do I think about the world? What do I think about myself and my place in it? That's what art is. I'm saying something about life and myself and the world.

So what I believe in truth and justice and heroicism, being a good father, you know, the theme of the first Dean Kane book is, you do the right thing no matter what, no matter how scary it is. That's the theme of that one. The theme and truth, justice, is the same thing. In the Tyrus book that I'm doing with Fox News Superstar Tyrus, it's about being a screw-up and finally getting things right. And the Imperion, Earth Illuminator, which I have right now, big mancom, go there and get it. It's about, are we living the right way? Are we being fooled? Is there a better world?

Is there a better path? That's my love letter to the old Star Wars stuff that inspired me. I was born in 78, started watching Star Wars as a very little kid, and that was the first thing that just ignited my imagination. The first things I ever remember drawing were Star Wars Space Battles in the back of my grandparents' Mexican restaurant. Nobody could watch me, and my brother was in a kindergarten, so I'd just pull out butcher paper and just draw spaceships all day.

And you will absolutely love this. It's a fresh take on sci-fi stuff, but it goes back to, you know, I'm 47, decades of me loving adventure and sci-fi. buying stuff like that. I love it. And so and you live it, you love it, and it comes out that way. Just, you know, pure appreciation for that genre and great storytelling, great art as well. We'd love

to have you back. Thank you. We'd love to have you back. Gabe Al-Tayeb. And make sure you go to big mancom and he's got all kinds of stuff up there. You've got merch, you've got your T-shirts, you've got your comics. You have absolutely everything up there. And you can see about Dean Kane, All-American Lawman. What did you say, Kane? The crowdfunding. Yeah, because I

and I definitely believe that people need to get involved and help bring the stuff to life because everybody complains about the stuff that comes out that's in the theaters or on TV or Netflix or whatever and it's like okay well then put your money where your mouth is and support this stuff so these other people don't come and take that influence over from you you have a duty it's like a duty like the opportunity and the freedom to be able to do that so big mancom gabe god bless you i so appreciate what you do thank you for doing the real art that you're doing because that's going to be appreciated for years to come it's iconic It's an arch. Can I say one last thing to you and the audience?

The reason I do all this is because I felt what you felt. Audience, Dana, I felt what you felt like my culture. It's slipping away. My dad almost died. He's an immigrant from Libya. They killed my dad's friends and relatives. My grandfather, that side has been here for hundreds of years, almost died in the Pacific of World War II. This country is the greatest country in the history world, the greatest culture, and it was fought and died for. And we just watch it melting away, turning a perversion, perverting kids, messing everything. up and I'm like, I can't be a part of that. I will not put my name on that as part of the people who made that mess. So I did something about it. And I gambled my career that I fought so hard to get.

I said, no, I can't do this. And the power of story, it is the most potent form of persuasion. And when I was quitting my job at DC, I was terrified. I live in San Diego. It's kind of expensive. And I didn't have a job lined up. But here's the power of story. Indiana Jones from 1989. He steps into that bottomless pit where there's the invisible bridge. You remember that? The one was Sean Connery, but he had to take the leap of faith. And I kept picturing that leap of faith when I was watching, when I was thinking about quitting and resigning. And I just prayed, I said, God, don't let me fall. And I was lifted higher than ever. You know what I mean? I'm making art that I'm so proud of, doing very good business. And I would challenge all of you out there to join me. You know,

They're all different sizes And it's weird Because it makes me think the little ones are kids But you know they're really not And then what is that? That's basically what happens on the pitch really You know one of them goes by one And then they pretend to fall down

Like they're murdered and I don't know how I feel about that. Look how many minders have to be there. That one just, what is the goalkeeper doing? I don't know. That's bad. This is the worst battle bots. I would be bored to death watching this.

I feel like there's a lot of room for improvement. You think? This, oh my, this is like watching the left try to meme. It's the same thing. There are more people that are more excited and they're cheering. Do you think the bots react to being cheered on? That's a good question. I don't know.

Okay, so I like went down this rabbit hole and I read this whole thing about how chat GPT now passes the touring test and that AI could actually be lying about its capabilities, et cetera, et cetera. Just saying, just saying, it's a little weird. I wouldn't be surprised to find that out. You know, what's going to happen? We're going to have like some big like AI robot battle and then we're all going to have to go back to the way life was before having any of that stuff. Your fridge isn't going to be able to tweet.
