Episode Date: June 30, 2026

Dana shares commentary on Tuesday’s Supreme Court decisions including guaranteeing birthright citizenship to ANY child born in the United States, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. Dana slams the decision and asks why the woke GOP members of Congress didn’t pass a single thing knowing this ruling was coming?

Maldani endorsed Marxists dominate New York City Democratic congressional primaries. Texas Senator candidate James Tallerico says his whiteness and masculinity limit his imagination. His masculinity? Really? And Tucker Carlson leaves the Republican Party. Good riddance and don't come back. I'm Greg Corumbus, inviting you to join Jim Garrity of National Review and me each weekday for the Three Martini Lunch podcast. We'll give you the top news, some good laughs, and we'll be done in 30 minutes. Follow the Three Martini Lunch on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to the program. This is what's happening on the right, by the way. It's mostly an online phenomenon, but more and more it's carrying over into reality. I had a story where, let me pull this up. It was an Axios poll. And it was more and more, it says the Republican Party from Axios is starting to turn on Israel. Israel. And it gets into this, everything that podcast to stand talks about, right, which is kind of the goal. It's the goal of it, right? That was the whole goal of the podcast to Stan movement.

It is a red-green alliance. And I think that the people, some of the people I think are, are tools of it. And then I think others are just desperate to supplant their aging cable news audience with Zoomer Woffen. That's what this is. Like the cable news. news rejects that decided to adopt podcast, the podcast format and get it and become podcast to stand. They're trying to supplement their audience is aging out. They're cable news people. And, you know, I mean, you're talking about upper 50s going into their 60s, these cable hosts that are now podcast to Stanis. And they have got to figure out a way to boost their audience, to propagate their audience, to supplement it. And that's what they're doing. That's why they're bending

into the Zimmerwaffe and clickbait. And so they're buying into it. But Axios, which I normally don't like to bring up, but I think this is the only thing that I've even seen that discusses it. It looks at Republicans, according to a number of surveys, particularly the younger ones, have turned on Israel.

They've bought into the Hamas propaganda about Gaza, right? They completely bought into it. They said that, the one thing I don't like, and this is how you can tell it's from a leftist perspective, is because the piece says that Netanyahu offset, that kind of contributed to collapsing Democrat support by cultivating Republicans. No, Democrats decided to become so far left.

It's horseshoe theory now. So you have podcast to stand, which is basically just the left. It's horseshoe theory. They're just the left. But it gets into some of the, and I've seen this, I'm seeing this in real life, right? there are people that call themselves anti-interventionists, but they're not intervention.

They're not non-interventionists, really. They just don't like one entity in particular. They also say that they're about America first, but they're not about America first because they have, and they get mad and they accuse people of dual loyalty if they're Jewish, but they say nothing about them owning houses in Qatar or owning property in Bahrain or anywhere else. that's a or turkey having dual citizens they don't even get into that so israel what axios notes has become the new litmus test that the red-green alliance has successfully made Israel the litmus test

to determine falsely like what is old and what is new republicanism and it's a sci-op like back during the tea party days grassroots was we don't want big government, period. We don't want bailouts. We don't want big government. Now, the left has successfully co-opted that and made that instead of big government. It's about Israel. That's it.

And that's why you see these podcasts to stand a host. They increase their rhetoric. They do all those because they get more and more views. It's crazy. And it's something else, too, because I have friends that work in this industry that I've known for a long time. and they suffer if it's weird. I've seen them suffer because they don't take the Zoom or Woff in line.

But then the content that we do that I've seen when we talk about this stuff, it's very high visibility. It's very odd. But this absolutely, there's always been this Republican position on its allies in the Middle East and there are cracks in that now. So there's a point, and I've said this before, when something can exist online and it's only an online phenomenon. Like you saw the woke right that got its backside handed to them in elections because the Republican immune system, a conservative immune system kicked in and checked it. So a lot of their boomer waffin and zoomerwaffe and candidates didn't make the cut.

So they got their backsides handed to them electorally. Last two elections. Last every special election so far that's been happening or these local and municipal or state. run elections. They've been getting their back sides handed to them. But that's just because the survey is measuring sentiment too soon. It's still building. There was a Quinnipiac University poll this month that got into Republicans and their position on supportive Israel and one in five say it was too supportive. That is three times the number after October 7th. It's growing. It's an online phenomenon until it's not. And that's the whole goal of it. This is the red-green alliance that's

looking to bust the Republican Party and bust the right. Now, while this is happening simultaneously, I absolutely believe that there's a Russian op underway to try to target Christianity, target the West, by reinventing Christianity in the manner that the Russian Orthodox Church has reinvented it, where it is merely an apparatus of the state and exists to sanctify state actions. And that is what Tucker Carlson and these other people are attempting to implement. here by introducing these ideas, by having, you know, Victor Bout, who's literally an arms dealer that made weapons that killed Americans, and we traded Britney, we traded him for Britney Greiner.

By the way, speaking of Carlson, I want you to listen to Six. Listen to Cut Six. This is crazy. Are delusional for a bunch of different reasons. I don't think that's an Israeli-specific phenomenon. We felt a little bit of that after 9-11. when people bought the lies about 9-11, but the net result was to convince Americans

that they were under siege from global Islam that there were a billion people trying to kill them. I felt this way myself. And many times I said on television, the problem is Islam, the problem is Muslims. Like they all want to kill us. They're all crazy. They're all in this lunatic suicide cult created by Muhammad

in the 7th century. And I believe that. I was hysterical. I believed that. No, that's not true. Nothing about that is true. But I believed it. So it's a little harder for me to judge Israelis when they're like every Arab Christian or Muslim, it doesn't matter. Arabs are by definition committed to the extermination of Jews and we must kill them before they kill off.

Well, that's a straw me an argument because he's just making that up to try to have something to argue. I've never heard anybody particularly in Israeli government because you have Arabs that serve in Israeli government. Do you have Jewish people that serve in Arab governments? Oh, no, you don't. I mean, it's kind of hard to see a sex cult essentially that was created by a pedophile as anything but what he was describing. But okay, sure, everybody's entitled to their own opinions. But by the way, this is cut seven.

You want to talk about consistency. Just listen. By the way, like, I did see something that you were on a podcast yesterday, he said you think Israel killed a car. I did not say that. What was it? Did not say that. Okay.

What was the clip then? I said, I've never said that. Okay. I know a lot of people, including in the Trump administration who think that, however, there's no proof of that. Yeah. What I said was two things. One, I don't know when the command came down and from whom that we have to trust everything federal law enforcement says, but I'm not obeying that.

So he was saying that he didn't say it. We have the montage. Where's this montage at? I put it in yesterday. Because there's cuts of him saying it. Yeah, yeah. Can we play that? Because he says that he never said these things, but he clearly did say them.

Go ahead and roll tape. Raise some eyebrows this week when you said that Hamas is more like a political organization than a terror group. I didn't actually. I didn't say that. Hamas is, you know, group of jihadis, they're Islamic extremists, which they also claim constantly, which I don't I don't know if that's true, by the way. It seems more like a plodding organization. I didn't say that. You know, you've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the

Antichrist. I have not said that. On your show, you said, could this be the Antichrist? I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist? Could this be the Antichrist? I don't know where that comes from, but I know that those words never left my lips. You were on a podcast yesterday. He said, you think Israel killed Charlie Carter. I did not say that. What was it? Did not say that. I've never said that.

Charlie Kirk was murdered. He was, I believe he was most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel. I've never said that. You said in our previous interview, the future that I imagine is not a future in which we're yelling at each other about race. It's a future in which people are legitimately revolutionary, maybe even violent. I'm amazed that you have a tape of me saying that and I just want to disavow it.

Ah! Really? I arrest my case. As we move, our partners that help bring you the program. It is the folks over at Superbeats, Cholesterol Health Daily. You know the company behind Super Beats. It's called Human and then it's two ends. But you don't say the second one.

I think I think it's silent. But Superbeats, the company based in Texas leaders in cardiovascular health, and now they have the new cholesterol health daily. A cardiologist recommended approach. All about supporting your good HDL cholesterol with clinically studied ingredients that work. that can increase your good cholesterol levels that also can help maintain healthy triglycerides and overall lipid metabolism.

The birthright citizenship, and we're going to get in. of the transgender stuff, which I wasn't surprised on that at all. I think, I actually don't think any other of the legal experts were surprised by that one either. The one that did surprise me, and again, legal experts were trying to be very narrow, and they, I think this kind of fulfilled

what they expected. But as it pertains to birthright citizenship in the 14th Amendment, I think it is a stretch for the liberal justices, along with Robert. and Barrett to have come to the decision that they did. And I know this gets into the 14th Amendment, et cetera. I mean, it does. But the argument comes down to this. The jurisdiction thereof is what they keep relying on. And I think that there's some fast and loose, fast and loose interpretations.

of that, right? I think there's some very fast and loose interpretations of this. So basically, you know, an illegal alien can come here to the United States and can give birth, and that kid gets, is an immediate, just as much of an American as George Washington was. I find that to be absolute nonsense. And just so you know, the United States is one of a very few number of countries that even have this.

France does not have birthright citizenship. Ireland does not have birthright citizenship. Morocco does not have birthright citizenship. Italy does not have birthright citizenship. Greece does not have birthright citizenship. Japan does not have birthright citizenship. Bahrain does not have birthright citizenship. Saudi Arabia does not have birthright citizenship.

Spain does not have birthright citizenship. Belgium does not have birthright citizenship. Netherlands does not have birthright citizenship. How long would you like me to go? Finland does not have birthright citizenship. Sweden does not have birthright citizenship. But the United States is expected to. The United States is expected to be the country

where the third world can dump its garbage and people can have anchor babies. And if you think that's an insulting statement, you can pack up your Marxist ass and I will buy you a plane ticket to whatever gulag you belong into. This is the truth of it. the idea it's subject to the jurisdiction thereof it is the jurisdiction clause that people argue

translates to immediate territorial birthright citizenship soil now there are some countries in fact by the way i will say france used to be birthright citizenship but they changed so did spain so did a number of countries they changed quite a long time ago long time ago. But they're arguing that regardless of the immigration status of the parents, that from the soil on which you're born, you have birthright citizenship. You know what's funny is that doesn't apply in the United States. Here's what I mean. If you're born in Texas, you're a Texan by birth. If you move to Texas, you're not. It's interesting, right? You're not considered that. Status is irrelevant here, apparently, for this thing.

They are trying to argue that the jurisdiction clause is what extends that birthright. I think that that's a poor interpretation. I think that to say subject to the jurisdiction thereof, especially when you're talking about illegal immigrants, to argue that someone is subject to the jurisdiction thereof is also, first off, you have to be, you're assuming and recognizing that sovereign entity's system of laws, illegal immigration completely disregards. So that is not a good faith argument to assert that subject to the jurisdiction thereof,

particularly when it comes to people who enter the country illegally, they enter the country illegally, to skirt the jurisdiction thereof. So how are you simultaneously arguing that someone is subject to the jurisdiction that is rejected? This is asinine. You had Roberts, with the majority opinion, you had Clarence Thomas, I think his dissent was like twice, almost three times as long as the majority

opinion, which should tell you everything that you need to know. And he's stating similarly. He is stating similarly with us. I mean, this is a shocking thing to have this decision. I I also have this this is cut 19 Shannon Breen was sharing that Alito was fuming over this listen back to Shannon who's got more yet again Shannon all right this this comes from justice

alito who brought this up during the arguments this is his separate dissent he said the court's interpretation also has national security implications suppose that a person's only connection to this country is that he was born here to a mother who was present just long enough to give birth and then quickly return to her native country. Suppose that country is a strategic adversary or enemy of the United States. Suppose the child never visited the United States while growing up and was inculcated with hatred of this country.

According to this court, now that person is a citizen of the United States. He can enter and leave the country as he pleases. He can travel the world on a United States passport. Even if he plots to harm this country, he cannot be deprived. of his status as a citizen, at least under current precedent. He goes on to say that this decision today also provides a powerful incentive to enter or remain in this country illegally. He goes on to say, in my judgment, the court has made a mistake that will seriously affect

the country's future. He's right. So the leader is right. Clarence Thomas is correct. And now the way it is, the status quo is that anybody can come over here and pop out a baby and bibbidi-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-d-boom. That's it. That's what you got. I'm almost without words on this.

I just hope the people who support this, I feel like you should be forced to allow people to claim birthright ownership of your property then. So how does this go? Where do we go from here? Because this is disastrous, and it will, I mean, unless something severe is done, we are already well in our way to France and the UK. Because if a country cannot make determinations about who can live within its borders,

then that country is not sovereign. Not sovereign at all. Now, here's the thing. I understand the people who say, well, Congress should be legislating this. I mean, Congress should legislate. it. This is, I mean, ultimately what should, they should be the ones legislating it. And that's the narrow loophole through which, or the narrow path through which Scotus was trying to go with us. That this is, it's not for, it's for Congress to do. It's not something for the president to do with executive order after executive order. Now, I've been warning you about this since 2016. Trump is being used by the GOP because they're too lazy and they are too worried about main they're so they're more worried about doing nothing to maintain power than do anything to

risk losing it. These people are desperate to remain in there. They think that by delivering on anything that you've asked for that you voted for that somehow that's going to be a bigger threat than doing nothing. Yes, I completely agree. I've been talking about this longer than some of the people opining about it. You can't just rely on Trump and say, oh, Trump will have an EO on it. Congress has to legislate, but here's the problem with the decision. You can't do that now. Congress can't just pass a piece of legislation with us. That's never going to happen. It's never going to work. And why, pray tell, is it never going to work? It's because Roberts tied the ruling directly to the Constitution. It would have to be literally a constitutional amendment to change it at this

point. That's never going to happen. If you're a parent or grandparent, you already know what's going on. Our kids are being flooded with messages about gender ideology, sexuality, and sexual exploitation from social media, Hollywood, and even their own schools, often without parents knowing. So that's why I'm grateful for the work of concerned women for America. For more than four decades, CWA has been fighting for faith, family, freedom, and parental rights, and the protection of our kids. And they're taking the fight to state legislatures, to Congress, and even the Supreme Court to defend our girls and preserve common sense. This Title IX month, CWA has launched its Defend Our Girls campaign. When you give $20 or more, you'll receive one of CWA's educational resources on gender identity or sexual

exploitation. Give $35 or more, and you'll receive both. These are practical tools to help you navigate today's culture with truth, confidence, and clarity. And your gift helps protect parental rights and defend opportunities for girls and ensure that families have a voice in the policies shaping our country. Join the fight today and visit concernedwomen.com.org slash Dana. That's concernedwomen.com slash Dana. And together, we can defend our girls, equip parents, and protect the next generation. You know it's bad when I'm playing Bruce Springsteen. Born in the USA, I'm telling you, we're on the struggle bus today. We don't have anything nice to say about anybody, and if you don't either, then I would invite you to come and pull up a seat and sit with us. Welcome back to the

program, Dana Lash with you. Make sure you find our substack. We've got some stuff coming out about this. We've been talking about this birthright citizenship ruling, which is going to change irrevocably the United States. I mean, this is insane the way that this, I think this has happened. And I think it's a, I get that you have legal scholars that were out there expecting this and they're crowing about it today. But it gets into that 14th Amendment under the jurisdiction thereof. So the idea that a child born in the United States, regardless of status, soil gives you immediate birthright. I mean, not even our founders believed that, especially if you read Hamilton in the Federalist papers. So I'm not quite sure how this isn't. It's weird because SCOTUS is usually like, well, you know, we don't have to do it the way we always have done it. Well, that's the way we've always done it. I mean, you can't argue both things simultaneously.

Thomas's dissent, Justice Thomas, Robertsworth, the opinion on this, Thomas was, he was pretty hardcore in his dissent. His conclusion said, quote, the court has repurposed the 14th Amendment to protect its own set of preferred rights that the reconstruction Congress never contemplated and that cannot find support in its text. Today, the court does so again by recognizing a constitutional right to citizenship for the children of all foreign birth tourists and illegal aliens. And he also adds, quote, As for the evidence in support of my position, it is substantial. Representative Bingham, and this is if you're joining us, Justice Thomas's dissent. Representative Bingham, he writes, the architect of the 14th Amendment,

believed that the citizenship clause would not apply to the children of temporary visitors. Senator Trumbull, a principal champion of the amendment, agreed. He also added in this that Jacob Howard, who introduced the citizenship clause, agreed. Congressman after congressmen during the legislative debates, agreed. Congress in 1870, agreed. President Grant's Attorney General, agreed. President Grant's Attorney General before that, agreed. The Supreme Court in 1873, agreed.

State legislatures, agreed. The executive branch decision makers over the course of multiple decades, agreed. Justice Miller, agreed. Thomas Cooley, agreed. A battery of other eminent scholars, agreed. And the Great Justice, John Marshall Harlan, on three separate occasions, agreed. that is Justice Thomas's dissent, which, I mean, that was an education for these other justices. Everybody wrote their own dissents. Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, you know, he, I think I've heard this over.

I think it was Jonathan Turley, was it Turley or Bream who said that it was Kavanaugh who was trying to split the baby, Abraham style, or trying to split the baby. and the I think Kataji Brown I'm going to go God help me I'm not reading Kantajie Brown Jackson's opinion on this she wrote an opinion Did she write it herself or was it

Chat GPT? I think we all have questions about her ability to form a coherent sentence but there it is Thomas his I think it could probably be published as its own novella it is such, the decision is such.

So this has been something, this is pretty amazing, this decision. Now, I said earlier, and this is obviously this is a huge blow to POTUS as well, because this was, I mean, I, it's just, it's kind of, I'm just still, I can't roll my eyes hard enough. And this is the Trump v. Barbara case, the birthright citizenship, children born in the United States, Justice Roberts is the one who tied it to the Constitution. So I was saying earlier a lot of people have been asking, well, why can't Congress just legislate it then? Well, they can't now unless it has to be amended.

They're not good, because Roberts has tied it to the Constitution, saying that it's just an immediate constitutional right. So as such, this has to be a constitutional amendment. Let's, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm just shocked because this is the extension of citizenship, birthright citizenship, far beyond what the Constitution had ever intended. I don't know how, especially with everything that Thomas has cited, anyone who's even familiar with the drafting of the Constitution knows that there,

I mean, you can't tell me that there's no reasonable doubt that the founders were accepting a birthright tourism. They weren't looking at nation building that way. I mean, and that's pretty evident if anyone who's ever even read a paragraph of the Federalist papers or even read the minutes of debates that were taking place in Philadelphia. And for crying out loud. But now this is going to require a constitutional amendment, which is never going to happen. Because Republicans can't get it together. One of the reasons Trump has to do executive orders is because Republicans can't get it together.

The rage I feel right now. towards the people who have made a circus and a mockery out of governance and have focused on everything but the issue at hand? Where the ever-loving hell was Thomas Massey during all of this? Where the ever-loving hell was Marjorie Trader Green? They knew this was coming. Everybody has known for forever that this decision was on the way. did any of these people use their esteemed platforms to try to sound the alarm?

Did podcasts to stand? Have they even discussed immigration at all? No, because they get into a circle jerk about the Jews every day. Not a single one of these people have ever used their platforms or their large voices to touch this issue, to talk about this issue, to plead with their fellow members of Congress to perhaps maybe legislate. Instead, we've seen stunt after stunt after stunt after stunt. We have seen these lawmakers turn Congress into the political equivalent of only fans, watch me do my brain dead stunt and get clicks and donate to my re-election effort.

Every single day. We have stunts about, here's the Epstein binder. Here are all these people that are talking about Epstein. You have massing some of these other lawmakers out there. Anna Paulina Luna and some of these others that sit here and talk about, well, we're going to talk about the names. They never deliver on anything that they've ever promised. And I be damned, they haven't said anything about birthright citizenship.

We've talked about it on this show. And we, I mean, you know, we've covered the oral arguments, but that's about as much as you can do. We're not members of Congress. what have we gotten for the investment of our vote? And then you have Tucker Carlson, the audacity of Tucker Carlson to say, well, I'm leaving the GOP.

I didn't even know that you were a part of it because your statement suggests that you've actually done anything worthwhile to move the needle. A lot of people really love believing their own hype. And then reality hits and the outsized influence is limited to just the digital sphere

and all of the bots that they've purchased. to try to bought up replies and make it seem as though the influence on social media is so great that it must transcend. It must also be applicable to meet space, but alas, it's not. Hmm. No, now, this, we're going to have to have a constitutional amendment, which as we know is never going to happen. I mean, there are absolutely a million references and discussions to sit. citizenship with the founders. I mean, this idea that this is going to be applicable here in the United States when not even Europe does this, we're actually going to make our immigration

worse than what you've seen in the EU. This takes Angela Merkel's heinous decisions with immigration in Germany, which really kickstarted a lot of horrible things over there. This takes it to the next level. Yes. So, and we're going to talk more about this and dive into it more and do some comparisons, historical comparisons, but just to address the whole thing with Congress can legislate it, we're past that. And you guys know that they don't have the stomach to do a constitutional amendment. You know this. They couldn't even repeal Obamacare. They kept, after they told you to vote for them because they were going to repeal Obamacare, then when people voted for them, they said, oh, we're just going to make it better. It was a system designed

purposefully and structure purposely to fail. How are you going to make a structure that was a system designed purposefully to fail, quote unquote, better? That's stupid. So this is, I mean, it's a bad thing. There we go. Like I said, we're going to come back to this. We also have, there was a win with the trans issues. I mean, I can't believe we had to have the Supreme Court come out and say, look, if you got a wean us, you can't be on the girls' sports teams. This is how stupid we've become as a society. It's like, I mean, it's like all the worst aspects of a cafe society that's running D.C. now. It's stunning. It's running politics in America. We actually have to say this. And we actually had to have this argued all the way up to

the Supreme Court. But I mean, at least it's a win. What scares me is that we are leaving so many things to the Supreme Court when it's really supposed to be the citizens with their vote and their lawmakers in Congress. When it is so bad that the Supreme Court is literally your last line of defense, there's something seriously wrong with the way the citizens are administrating their power within a republic. We'd love to blame everyone in D.C. and believe me, I hate everything about D.C. I love the buildings. I would like it more if there was no one there. But it's not all D.C.'s fault because that's just a reflection of us, the people,

and we all know it. It's a reflection of us, the U.S. of A, the people within. We've got a lot more on the way. I've just begun unpacking this as we move. The folks who help bring you the program, burn a gun, B.RNA, it's not a gun. They have other models, but I don't care about a single one of the other models, because the only one that you need to know right now is the CL that stands for a compact launcher. I have zero problem pumping lead through a threat.

I will sleep like a baby at night while a threat to my life bleeds out on the sidewalk. I don't care. This is an option for the people who are denied to carry, whether it's by private property restrictions or municipal restrictions, whatever. Take your pick. You need to have a diverse range of defensive options. I mean, for crying out loud, you carry different calibers and you carry blades. So when you are barred because of a gink-free-vune, then you need to have some kind of option.

And this is where Berna comes in. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 60 feet away. The CL, the compact launcher is about the size of an iPhone. There's no recoil, easy target acquisition. And unlike the tasers and stun guns that have one to two rounds, this is 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. And it doesn't care about gins-free-zun because it's not a gun. and there's no background checks, there's no waiting periods, there are no permits, none of it.

You order it online and they send it right to your front door. Diversify your options so that you have an option when yours are limited. Visit berna.com slash Dana to learn more. That's b-y-r-na.com slash Dana. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the bottom of this third hour. Now tomorrow will be our Independence Day Eve show.

And then the whole crew, we are out until Tuesday. We're back Tuesday after celebrating Independence Day. So I don't say, do we say, are people offended if you say Fourth of July? I feel like that's become a thing now. Yeah. Why? Like you have to say Independence Day, which I don't care either. I mean, yeah.

One's a declaration of our independence and the other one is a date. True. And they both mean the same thing to me. I agree. I agree with you. I think you're, I think you're, absolutely right. I think you're absolutely right. The only thing that I do not like about living in Texas, don't come at me, is the fireworks prohibition. I mean, it's been, you guys know the story. It's been a

right of passage, right? Like my whole goal in life, it was very simple when I was a kid. I wanted to be able to purchase my own Roman candles and hold them with my hands. My mother never let me. So let me tell this story real quick Nana would always tell me this story about this dude she grew up with I don't want to say his name because it's a real guy What should I call? I can't say his real name We'll call him Gus for the lack of a better way to

I don't have any other name by head we'll call him Gus Yeah yeah yeah Every warning that a parent could give a child Nana based it around this dude named Gus right Gus one time smoked one too many

marijuana's and it put scorch marks on his brain that's a true story he almost died from overdosing on the marriage awanas cane he drank so much alcohol

he almost died almost died again I mean this dude he held a Roman candle and almost blew his hand off I mean every bad thing in the world has happened at this guy it's I mean it's

I'm trying to think what it reminds me of. Hang on. Do you remember this, don't be a Mr. Bungle? Do you remember this, Goofus and Galant and Mr. Bungle from Highlights for Children? Do you guys remember that magazine way back in the day? You had Goofus and, or Goofus and Gallant, rather. Goofus was the bad kid who did everything wrong. And Gallant was the well-mannered child who demonstrated proper etiquette every day. I don't know if you guys remember. This was like a big thing in highlights for children, goofus and gallant, right? So, or Mr. Bungle, which was on Pee Wee's Playhouse, don't be a Mr. Bungle. So that's like, this guy, Gus will call him, was, that was like my Nana's, that was Nana's avatar for how you should never be, right? So this dude, I wanted to hold a

Roman candle one time, because my cousins were holding Roman candles, but Anna was like, no, because you're going to be like Gus, Gus blew his hand off. I'm like, what? She's like his whole hand gone. From what? A Roman candle. I'm like, oh, so I never held a Roman candle. Not only, but Kane, he probably blew his hand off holding the Roman candle because he smoked one too many pots and he got scorch marks on his brain. And I remember one time I learned what acid was because some kid got expelled from school for having it in a classroom where, you know how kids all talk. Oh my gosh, it was like the big thing. It was in junior high and this kid got caught. with acid. And I was just like the kind that burned, I did not even know. I was like in seventh

eighth grade. And I asked my mom, what is this acid stuff? And my mom was like, oh, stay away from that. Gus did the acids. He did the acids. Burned his lips off. I'm like, whoa. So in my mind, and I'm going to bring this story beautifully to shore. This towbo's coming to shore. So just wait for it. state of the end. So in my mind, this Gus guy had like no hand from the Roman candle. His brain was all like crusty because he did too many pots, cane, and he burned his lips off from the acids that he took. And I'm thinking, this guy and Mom and Nana was like, he's in a rest home in the little southern town where the family lives. He's in a rest home there. He's, He can't even help himself.

He can't even help himself, is how she said. He can't help himself. You know, he's just, he's in a bad way now because he never listened. And I'm like, I am never going to be like us. So fast forward, 10 years. I was like 19, 20 years old. And we were down helping to take care of my grandparents. And we stopped at the one restaurant in the town, a very tiny town of like 300 people.

And it's like the restaurant that everybody goes to, Fancy night out, not fancy night out, whatever it is. It serves the purpose, right? It's been there forever. Nana used to waitress there, and she was in high school. So as we were going towards the door, it opened, and this mysterious man came out. And he, you could tell he wasn't entirely all there, but he was very nice. And I noticed that he opened the door with one hand, and he was cut, he was clutching a two-go-go- coffee with the other hand. And Nana goes, well, hello there, Gus. And I went, what? You know what it's like when you catch your parent in a lie? Right? Everybody, you know, even if it was meant for your own good, you know, right? Everybody has, everybody knows. And Nana just said very matter of factly,

like someone had popped her balloon. Well, hello there, Gus. Like how the, what do you do it? You know what I mean? and he sees her and he says her name and he's like hi and he wasn't very talkative and nana did the polite thing introduce me and i said hello to him i noticed that he was still holding his coffee cup as i shook his other hand and then he walked away walked down the road he was going back to the convalescent whatever adult home that he was staying in and i looked at nana and nana gave me a look because we were in public and it is an applicable look still to the this day. And everybody everywhere, you know what I'm talking about, right? It's the look that a bald eagle just has on its face, you know. It's a look where it's just, and it just looks right at you. And it's

like the face narrows and the eyes get beatier and meaner. And it was like that. And I just didn't say anything. And I didn't say anything as we went in and we had lunch and I still didn't say anything until we left. And then we got in the car to make the drive back to St. Louis. And I go, so Gus and she just sat there and I said both hands and she said he's recovered I'm saying right because I was imagining like that it would have been blown up to meat ribbons and it would have looked like I don't know what I'm you know what I'm thinking of I don't know what I'm like just meat ribbons just blow the hell off because he had a Roman candle. And I didn't press.

But, you know, and she goes, before I could even say anything, she was like, and I'll have you notice that he was walking back to that convalescent home. And I'm like, because of the pots. You know, and she was like, that's just it. So I was like, okay. So I just took it, you know, but you know what I did. the first thing I did as a grown adult when I had my own house

and I was married and a grown woman I went to the first roadside fireworks stand that I could and I spent $150 on Roman candles. I'm not even lying and you want to know what I did with them Roman candles I stood in a friend's yard

and I lit every damn one of them suckers off and I held every single one of them and I got both hands just saying got both now I'm you raise your kids how you're going to raise them but I'm just saying I never felt more like an adult not even paying taxes

until I held that Roman candle and I mean my we had to literally run away from like I mean we're we're Gen X right we're baby Gen X and and our parents were boomers and they didn't care what the hell we did except Nana Nana was the only one who'd constant like you didn't because she'd murder you to death I just she would kill you to death.

I don't know how else to put it. So we would run away during Fourth of July. We would literally run all the way like down to like the next, like it's all rural area down where my family lives. We ran all the way from my aunt-uncles where they were having the Independence Day party and we'd go to some field and we would bring baskets

of bottle rockets and we would have the annual bottle rocket fight. And all of that means to say is we just literally set fireworks, bottle rockets on fire, and threw them at each other. That's what we did. And I don't know how we're not burned to death or not dead, but it worked. And we had some of the family that were rogue and they would help us.

Like my uncle would drink all the beer and he would bring one by one. He would make the trek down the road to the field and he'd bring empty beer bottles and we would use that as staging grounds, right? So we'd had to throw them at each other until the family got drunk enough and we had enough beer bottles. and then when we ran out of punks, we would have an aunt that would literally give us the rest of her cigarette to use to light the fireworks.

And then we had one cousin that would hurry up and smoke the hell out of it. And then also light the fire. So we were just like hoodlums. I mean, nobody cared. And if my mother knew what we had been doing, I would be grounded still. I would be grounded right now in my 40s and I would be grounded, Kane. You met my mother.

She's deceptively nice. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But that's the story of Independence Day. So, long story long. I have always, I love fireworks. Like I taught my kids that I do. It's like a thing in Missouri.

We do. I don't know. It's great, Kane. It's something we do there. Yeah. The first, though, when she said that bottle rock or the Roman candles would somehow blow your hand up, I think that's where I'd start the argument. Not after I saw Gus. Well, I didn't know. I mean, I was a kid and that was my

authority figure, you know, I'm, I didn't know. I'm going to get, so I hope she's not watching. We all also in the St. Louis area, I'm sure this is how it happens everywhere else too. But we'd use the spent ones to shoot the bottle rockets at other people. Right. That's how you do it with the Roman candles. Yeah, yeah, you would, you need a vessel. But we would have, it was just like, like by the end of it, it was like a symphony. We had all these beer bottles. Like we'd have 20 beer bottles before us. And we'd run down the line as quickly as we could.

Because when we were little, that was before we had the big lighters. It was like a torch. Now, I mean, that's what I did with my kids. I was like, here's a torch. And I'm like, run down the line and light them up. Now we can't do that in Texas because everything will catch on fire. Because it's Texas. It's like a deserty environment.

It has done to do. Climate change has nothing to do with that. It's just, there's Texas. And also, I'm a little hesitant to just go into random fields because of snakes, rattlesnakes, right? Got to worry. That's actually something you've got to worry about. But wherever you are, if you're able to do fireworks, I want you to appreciate that freedom. And you need to light a couple extra off for yours truly because I'm not getting, I don't get, I haven't been able to take advantage of that. Like my kids, I mean, my gosh, can you remember in St. Louis?

You go on a rooftop and you'd light off fireworks. and you weren't supposed to, but everybody did anyway. And it sounded like you were in Baghdad. It, damn near sounded like you were in the middle of Gulf War. It was, there were explosions and smoke and is that gunfire? Is that a firework? I don't know. It just, but it was fun, all the same.

So that's something that I miss. That's something that I miss. We have more on the way. We got today's stupidity coming up as we wrap. Oh, tomorrow we got a very special guest. I'm not going to say who it is. yet. You won't want to miss it, though. That is, it's appointment viewing. You're not going to want to miss it as we rolled awards headlines.

Is anybody surprised? No one's surprised by this, not at all. Ford says it's hired back some of their human engineers because AI could not match their skills and experience. In a bid to reap the benefits of tech, they said that they were going to try to cut cost and increase productivity. Guess what didn't happen? Any of those things?

So now they, according to BBC, because they were such. They were writing a piece of garbage. I'm just horrible today, just so you guys know. This decision has me so mad. They said the firm has rehired more than 300 veteran quality inspectors. I hope that those people bent them over a barrel for their contracts. I hope they did.

A jet blue plane collides with a drone during a landing at JFK. Just days after United pilot had a narrow miss. It's still happening. I see a drone on my property. I'm going to either do one of two things. I'm going to strap an IED to it and send it back to his origin, or I'm going to shoot it TF down. And then when you try to come to claim your property, I will meet you at my property entrance with a 12 gauge. That's how that's going to work.

I'm so tired of the drone stuff. Because the people are flying in mere airfields. One drone hit a plane right above the cockpit at 3,000 feet. Oh, my gosh. One in the world. One flight was originated out of Vegas. It was approaching JFK airport. It said we collided with a drone, blah, blah, blah.

It's bad. Stop it. It just has to stop. Just people be smart with your stuff. Also, a 12-year-old was injured in a bison encounter at Yellowstone National Park because their parents are probably morons. According to a press release from the National Park Service, it occurred around 9 a.m. near mud volcano. The minor was, they were apparently, was transported to a hospital for treatment. Current conditions not known. They're still investigating it. I mean, you're told to stay 25 yards away from bison and other large animals. I mean, everything. Big Horn sheep deer, moose, elk. You're supposed to keep 100 yards away from bears, wolves, and cougars. But apparently, people from the city go out to the country and go, I'm going to pet all the things, and then they end up getting gourd to death and sent to the hospital.

I'm going to pet that bassin. Stop it. Stop it. A tourist was killed by a crocodile, a Puerto Vallada Beach. This is kind of crazy. I mean, it's score one for the gator, or the crocs, right, as opposed to the cartels. I'm actually surprised it wasn't a cartel member. We have more on the way. Stick with it. us. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. Lorraine's got a great piece up right now over at Substack that gets into SCOTUS, some of these SCOTUS decisions, because it is SCOTUS season, as you know, and as such, there's a lot to unpack, and I'm going to have something up just on birthright citizenship here, probably like later on today, getting into tomorrow, and I got a couple of other drafts out for you guys. as well to hit.

And tomorrow, like I said, we're going to have a special guest tomorrow. It'll be fun. And it's our Independence Day show. I know I'm in blue today. Normally, I took a break from my summer black and we're in blue. Tomorrow, I may wear another color. Don't expect it. This is just Independence Day.

That's all it is. It's not going to be a pattern. So red, white, and blue, right? You can't, although I don't have to have something white. I don't know. But anyway, so that's what's on deck for tomorrow. But it's a really good piece that gets into some of these decisions that we, because there's been a lot coming out.

We've had the decisions yesterday. And, of course, got into the ballots, mail-in ballots, all of that. And then obviously we had the trans dudes and women's sports today, as well as the birthright citizenship case. And the ability for Congress to move around on that, for my understanding, and I have a friend who is in law, constitutional law, who agrees, because Roberts has it predicated upon the Constitution, this is going to have to be an amendment. It's going to have to be an amendment. That's, it's not going to be able, they're not going to be able to just pass a bill. They're going to have to amend the 14th Amendment.

and it comes down to subject to the jurisdiction thereof, which I don't think is applicable when you're talking about illegal aliens and this, you know, birth tourism. And we're going to have to get a handle on H-1Bs. We're going to have to get a handle, you know, we've been talking about the whole situation with the Chinese birth tourism. And you're going to have a whole generation of people who have been raised in communist China,

but they were born here, so they have birthright citizenship that are going to be coming over here to change the face of the country because of voting. So all of that and more. All right, Kane, today, and stupidity. All right, we have a UN expert. This is cut 16-1. She's the health expert, play it.

The failure of states to adopt an interracist, anti-colonial, and dignity-based approaches to extracts of capitalistic practices, pillaging of resources, colonialism, genocide. Is she, I think she's pillaged some resources. She looks like she's pillaged. Under the weight of indignity, she says.

Well, how much indignity is she under? I've pillaged a few resources in their day. Yeah, I feel like that's a lot of resources that she's pillaged. That does it for us today. Find us over at Substack. Find the podcast as well in case you missed anything. I will be back with you tomorrow. God bless.
