Today's Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. This is a fundamentally new principle, and it's a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States. the only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone. This decision today has continued the court's attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation. So I don't know what he thinks he's getting to there. He's talking about, obviously, the Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity.

And I think every legal scholar worth their, our brain cells has disagreed with him on this. Because it's, I mean, what they're claiming is just stupid. I mean, it just doesn't, it doesn't make any sense. We all read the ruling. And that's the thing that just kind of, you know, blows my mind. It's like, you know, we all read the ruling. We all know what it says.

You can try to tell us that it means that, I mean, they're acting like, oh, my gosh, this means now that, you know, the president, that Donald Trump could do whatever he wants to do. And we'd kind of made fun of it a little bit yesterday because their first thought was to immediately go to nuking people or murking them, right? Like the sending seal team six to go and get them and take care of them, right? I mean, that was, I don't know. So welcome to the show. Dana Lash here with you. We're at the top of our first hour. And there was the president speaking last night. And he had a couple verbal kerfluff. last night as well

with his speech. There's some there's some rough parts. You think that they would go above and beyond to make sure that that didn't happen Kane. That he would just speak without any kind of you know

but he wasn't able to do it. Went able to do it. In fact this is audio where's the work because oh yeah audio sound by three golly help us all Sodomayor's dissent today. She hears what she said.

She said, in every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law. With fear for our democracy, I dissent, end of quote. No, he didn't have to read that. That was not a part that he had to read. He's like Ron Burgundy. Don't put it in the prompter. Ron reads everything. That's what he's doing.

So I don't know. I mean, it's, he doesn't look good and it's not getting any better. And that's one of the things we're going to talk about today. So Dana Lash with you, top of this first hour, the, you can listen all over where we're X, Rumble, YouTube, Facebook. There's the discussions that Rumble. And later on, because we have a Pact show, later on London Roberts is going to join the program. And she's going to be coming up in our second hour. And just that is the daughter of Navy Joan.

or the mother of Navy Joan. Navy Joan, the little girl that doesn't get her stocking on the mantle for Christmas. Navy Joan, the little girl that Hunter Biden was fighting against having to be financially accountable for, we're going to talk to her mother because I, you know, I get it. I mean, I was, you know, raised for a significant portion of my life by a single mom. I understand how hard that, you know, she's got a claw to, to make sure her daughter has an existence. And I, for all of the, the talk that exists, I have to say, she's not gone the route that you would see a lot of women go. She's never gotten hyperbolic. She's never done anything like that.

She's just trying to fight and get what is her daughters, which is what any good mother would do. So we're going to talk to her coming up. And then Jennifer Van Laar is going to be joining us at perfect timing too, because I and I just saw another one of these stories floating from a different reporter, literally. just now as we're talking. So there's a lot of discussion right now. So yesterday, Democrat governors, just what we were talking about with Joe Biden's speech from last night, Democrat governors held a phone call and they were trying to figure out what was going on with the presidential race. And I've heard this from a number of people. And these were Democrat governors, right? And it didn't include members of their staff. It didn't include, you know, AIDS, anything like that. It was just the

governors. And the Democratic Governors Association organized it per Tim Walz, who's governor of Minnesota. And what did I say yesterday? And I made mention of this last night on Fox Business that you can't count on Joe Biden's family. to convince him to leave the race. You're not going to be able to really count on the left-leaning pundits to say that he's got to leave the race. That's not going to happen either because those people, Democrat pundits by and large, don't hold as much sway with Democrats as right-leaning pundits hold with Republicans.

It's a weird dynamic, but that's how it is. Because the Biden campaign had come out with a, I guess, like what, like it was supposed to be some kind of, I don't know, memo that was explaining, you know, what people need to do. And they were saying that the Democrat, the donor class needs to chill out. That didn't make the donor class happy at all, at all. so they have this list of non-negotiables that they're sending out. And so now you have these Democrat governors getting together on this phone call. And they were talking about, okay, if they come forward publicly, will that make Biden dig in more? So this is what they're, because none of the other politicians, as we talked about yesterday, none of these other politicians have been able to contest Biden's, you know, hell-bentedness on running for all.

office. And I know that there are some critics that say, well, that's no different from the right with politicians with Trump. But there's a difference, though, because this isn't about, they're worried about some sort of Biden retribution. They're worried that Biden will dig in even harder because Biden and Trump are motivated by entirely different things. Trump is motivated by, you know, he likes public odulation. He likes to know that he did a good job. He's a positive affirmation guy. And there are people that's the, that's his currency. Biden's currency way different. He didn't care.

He didn't care about that stuff. He doesn't care. Clearly doesn't care if the public loves him. He wants to enriching himself. He is all about putting money in his pockets. Now, a lot of people on the left say that that's, oh, that's Trump's currency also. It's not, though. They're very different.

Trump likes to know from the public that he did a good job. He wants the public approval. That is his currency. Joe Biden doesn't care about public approval because he doesn't care about the public. I mean, clearly, how the hell am I? much are you paying for butter? I mean, ask yourself that. He doesn't care about the public. He cares about Joe Biden. Joe Biden is Joe Biden's currency. So it's really difficult for Democrats to figure out how to navigate this because if they challenge him, I don't, yeah, he seems like this old,

you know, discombobulated grandpa on TV, but oh my gosh, I'm telling you, do not underestimate the pettiness and vengefulness of this man. I feel like people who disregard this have never gone back on the YouTubes and have ever watched videos of a younger Joe Biden. And by younger, I mean, like when he's, you know, just maybe after 10 years after qualifying for the early bird menu at Denny's. I mean, he's, you know, he's still, he's been old my whole life. This guy's been in office. He has literally been an elected office longer than I have been alive. He has been there forever. Wasn't he pre-Carter? Didn't he get in there before Carter? Crazy. He's been there longer than I've been alive. He's always been old.

me. Now he's like super old. And he's always been, he's always looked like that. But he had a different voice. He had more vigor. And he was meaner. He's still mean, but he was meaner. I will never forget. And I was thinking of going back and forth and if I wanted to play it here for you, but it's such a long piece of audio. Because I feel like Clarence Thomas played the, really was playing a long game and just finally dunked on Joe Biden because he just outweighed him. and out-healthed him. But there was this clip, and it's really long, and I don't know if I want to play it, but it was going around, it's been going around on the internet for quite some time, but it was Joe Biden who was trying to question Clarence Thomas about some sort of like legal originalism.

And you could tell by watching it, Joe Biden had no idea what he was talking about. But he was younger, right? He had, he was, if you can believe this, smarmeier than Gavin Newsom. like Gavin Newsom looks like a vanilla wafer in terms of smarmingness compared to Joe Biden. I, you people do not, some of you all remember how ignorant he is. I just know from videos. I'm like, gosh, this guy was a, he was a jerk. And he was so patronizing to Clarence Thomas. And when the Clarence Thomas hearings were happening, I was a little kid.

And I do remember this jerk that was questioning Clarence Thomas. Because I always thought Clarence Thomas, he had a thick professor. glasses. You know, he was sitting there very quiet and polite, listening intently, which he said later, you have to do, even if they don't know what they're talking about. Joe Biden's, you know, he's, he's being so theatrical with his hands, and he's sitting there in the Senate confirmation hearings, and he's being so, so theatrical, and he's, you know, gesturing and gesticulating, and he's staring Clarence Thomas down. And he really is high on his own supply, right? He really thinks that he knows exactly what he's talking about, and you can tell from Clarence Thomas's

that he wanted to just pound him into a hole in the ground with his knowledge, because Joe Biden had no idea what he was talking about. He sounded like a loon. Now that I'm older and I'm watching the video, I'm like, he sounds like a moron. What is he talking about? But that's Joe Biden. And he was too much. He is like a male Karen. And I'm not, don't send me emails about Karen names. Come on. It's Cynthia. How about that? Is that better? You get what I'm saying. He was like a male. Can I speak to the manager? And most men don't want to deal with that when that. attributes bubbles up in the personality of a man. They don't want to deal with it. They don't want to deal with in a woman. They sure is I don't want to deal with it in a man. And that's how Joe Biden is. So my point is that don't feel bad for him because he made his bed.

This is what he's always wanted. And don't think that because he looks confused most of the time, that he's not mean. He's still mean. Like Kane says, old people aren't innocent. And Joe Biden is like the least innocent of them all. You know, Kane's got a problem with old people. And I don't, you know, we're talking about it. I want to stop fighting you on this.

I'm just calling it accurately, my friend. Just, you know, I mean, we talk about how much you don't, you don't trust them all the time. It's not all. That's all. All. Just all of them. That's all right. So they had so anyway, they had these Democratic governors.

They had this call. Some of them brought up about having maybe Kamala Harris talk to him. You know, could they, could they maybe talk to somebody in the White House? Could they get someone in the White House to talk to Joe Biden? and they were trying to come up with some sort of meeting, they've got to talk to him. And they're all like, well, if we say something, if I say something, will you say something? If you say something, well, I say, and they're all checking with each other. Like, are we on the same page?

Because it would take a ton of elected officials to come out. If Joe Biden doesn't want to relinquish the grip that he has on the resolute desk, they're going to have to come and pry his fingers off. I mean, there's, you know, I don't know what else. what else there would be today. I mean, that's what they're going to have to do. So we're going to get into all of this because he's supposed to speak here coming up as well. I don't, do you know, I mean, is he talking about the weather? Is that what he's talking about? I was looking at my notes here.

Jeez. Now, and then later on, we've got London Roberts, who's going to be joining us. And Jen Van Laar, who will also be joining us. Additionally, I don't know if you saw, the New York Times apparently hates America. We're going to share this op-ed that they posted. We've got some. some cultural issues. I've got some goofiness. It's just, it's going to be a weird newsday. Maybe you've come across this if you had to go and get a prescription filled. You know, maybe it takes a really long time to get it filled or maybe you're told by the pharmacy they don't have that in stock right now. You don't ever want to be without a medication that you need to get better. So do what I did and take control of your family's health with a medical emergency kit from the doctors at the wellness company. Now, this is not a first aid kit, right? The kit is filled with essential doctor prescriptions that treat over 30.

39 different medical issues. They have strong antibiotics for infections of all types, including pneumonia, strep throat, ear infections, all kinds of sinusitis, like sinus infections like I always get. It's like having a little urgent care without the $75 copay right at your house. And you don't have to wait to see a doctor. You don't have to wait in a waiting room. And everybody knows it's like one of the sickest places to be. You don't have to wait at a pharmacy. Every home should have at least one of these medical emergency kits. And they put it all together in your little kit. They pack all up and they ship it directly to you. I've used it myself. I've used it several times myself. I ended up getting a sinus infection that turned into strep throat. And I could not from the airport,

traveling, doing everything that I could do. And then of course, my doctor's office is closed. I did not want to have to go and wait into urgent care. I was too sick. And I went, I remembered I had my medicines. I went in. I took my medicines. And I was literally, and Kane remembers, I was like back on the road to better health. And I was able to actually do my job and be on air the next day, which is incredibly important for, you know, what I do. You can actually visit twc.com. That's TWC for the wellness company.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick five. So Americans say that they need to earn about $186,000 a year to feel financially secure. It's a new survey from Bankrate, and that's the magic number that they hit. And they said that apparently only 6% of U.S. adults make that amount or more now, according to Bankrate. The median family income falls between $51 and $86,000, according to the latest federal data. And that's people are wary of inflation. And so because 35% per the Federal Reserve Bank of Philly, 35% of Americans are worried about making ends meet.

That's up 29% from a year earlier. You know that 186,000 numbers are only increase as inflation worsens. So Gen Zers are so disillusioned with the economy that they think it's okay to commit fraud. This is a new article from MSN. And it talks about the latest online fraud trends and consumer behavior making purchases online. Like they talk about where they dispute a purchase with their payment provider despite the purchase being legitimate. I've had people do that to the newsletter sometimes because they forget that they sign up and they don't read the fine print and all the other stuff where it's like you are the only person that controls your stuff. Like I can't sign you up, all this stuff.

They forget that they sign up. Then they don't recognize substack. And then they try to say it's fraud and it costs like $80 every single time they do it. They said that this is, that's not Gen Z. They said it's Gen Z respondents that know somebody who's participated in payments. fraud or have done so themselves. That's kind of, so they'll dispute those like third party purchases. That's kind of crazy.

Let's see. Thousands of homeowners about to get slain with higher monthly payments because adjustable rate mortgages are adjusting upwards. Yay. Thanks, Bidnomics. The Boston Celtics Ownership Group plans to sell the majority stake. The, it's led by Yager's spec, they're planning to make the franchise available for sale. They purchased the team in 2002 for $360 million.

And homesteading is growing. Why? Because the economy is so heinous. Stick with us because I have a headline about Biden that I can't just say like this. We need more time with it. Stick with me. I agree with Annie Oakley who said, quote, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.

Now, I myself regularly concealed carry 9mm. Now that said, not every woman is like me has had the hours of training that I've had or feels comfortable around firearms due to years of use, or maybe they're by a gun-free zone. I'd like to change that what I can while encouraging self-defense at the same time. So this is where Berna comes in. It's kind of like a starter weapon. It's, they make a non-firearm firearm.

I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women. And the Berna SD model shoots chemical irritant projectiles, 68 caliber rounds that can deter threats in their tracks, up to 50 feet away. I mean, it is hard. Easy target acquisition, zero recoil. Burna is legal in all 50 states.

There's no background checks, no permits required. It's shipped directly to your door. Gun free isn't applicable to Burnah. It's great for wherever guns are banned.

and Dana's absurd truth podcast. posted daily from the Dana Show. The problem is, is it's all about power with these folks. It's not about this understanding of what the rule of law is and what is ultimately going to happen if you determine a president can be immune. I mean, honestly, and he'd never do it because he was a decent man. But if Joe Biden decided to use Seal Team 6 to go after his political rivals, according to this case, he may be justified in doing that.

At least it would have to go to the Supreme Court. Does anybody else think that his collar just keeps? getting tighter and tighter. Adam Kinsinger, right? He does. He's just a hateful little dude. Dude, cut back on the carbs. Welcome back to the shit. I said it. You want to go? You want to go outside?

Catch me aside. How about that? Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. We're at the bottom of this first hour. And they're still going with that stupid thing. Tell me that you didn't read the ruling or that you have the reading comprehension of a dolphin without telling me that you didn't read the ruling or that you have the reading comprehension of a dolphin. Actually, I'm sorry,

dolphins are smarter, but they are as much of nature's jerks as Joe Biden is, apparently, and Adam Kinzenger is trying to compete. So I wanted to share this. One of the guys who broke Watergate, Carl Bernstein, he was talking about Biden's mental acuity because he had a piece that, or he was, there's a piece out about him

on the hill. He said that it was a horror show. Joe Biden's debate performance said that the sources are trying to say, you know, they're trying to insist that it's a one-time problem, for real. Come on. That's, I haven't made a joke about this. Bernstein said he's been talking all kinds of sources in Biden's sphere who say they love him, they support him, blah, blah, blah, but they said that this is not a one-off. Duh, like we don't need to be told this.

The media needs to realize, y'all don't need to tell us this. We're not morons, okay? We're not your base voters. We know what's happening, all right? They said, uh, Bernstein's, Tony told Anderson Cooper last night that he said that there's been 10 to or 15 to 20 occasions in the last year and a half when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show. And he said this, audio sound like 17. This is how he further described it. Listen, we're clearly dealing with with two sets of one person. And it really needs to be explored according to the people I'm talking to. And I think an awful lot of major Democrats believe this, including some of. who have made statements to the contrary. But this is a problem that's not going to go away unless it's explicable. What? Because it is.

I mean, you know, again, this is not a one-off. This is who he is. You can't tell us otherwise. Audio sound by 13. Jennifer Granholm was saying that it's so frustrating because they keep going. And I said on Fox last night, they keep saying, oh, well, it was just 90 minutes. but he's got a four-year presidency. That 90 minutes was the epitaph of his four-year failed presidency.

That's exactly what it was. Audio's on by 13. Jennifer Granholm, Department of Energy, who has no idea how to charge a car. Or she could even go on a road trip with it. That was a whole other story from last summer. This is her latest stab at the spin. It's just so frustrating that people are automatically willing to dismiss 90 minutes of a bad performance and compared to three and a half years of an excellent president.

Can we just talk for a second? What do you think of bad performances? You think of bad performances? He had to screw up. He got a fact wrong. I mean, is that what you think of bad performances? Because what we saw was a guy who almost, I mean, it seemed like the only other place that he could go was to ants on live television. Right?

You know it. That's just saying. There's only one other place to go there. Only one other place. So it wasn't, what do you think of a bad, what is a bad night to you? What is a bad night? Because the bad night that we saw was, is, is, that's what we've been seeing this entire time. He couldn't, he sounded weak, he couldn't speak, he couldn't even walk down steps.

He couldn't remember basic details. He had no idea about tone. He couldn't read it. It was just an absolute mess. It was a disaster for him. That wasn't a one bad night. It wasn't, oh, I forgot some facts or I messed up or I just didn't perform as well in the debate as I thought I could have. This is, oh my gosh, he's seriously not mentally fit. And we know he's not mentally fit. Why? Because the AG, the IG report or the investigation in the her report, the transcript, they won't release the transcript. I mean, the House just voted. I mean, basically... They won't release the audio. They released the transcript. They won't release the audio. Because remember, they edited the transcript.

They said, oh, we took out, you know, like some redundancies. Like if he said, you know, a few extra prepositions or conjunctions or something like that. No, I don't believe you. Because if you remember, what was the finding? Why didn't they charge him? Why do they not charge Biden for the classified doc stuff in his garage? Why? Because they said that he was not...

fit to stand trial. So we already know that he's not mentally fit. Like you're apparently not mentally fit to stand trial, but you're mentally fit to be the leader of the free world. How does that happen? So we already have that, that basis, that standard of measure. So you don't need to gaslight us about it anymore. What we saw in the debate last night, can you imagine sitting down doing a one-on-one, you're interrogating this guy about classified documents? And then you walk away from the interview going, gosh, he's too old and feeble to even charge. That was the conclusion. That's why they never charged him. So yeah, we ought, we want, we deserve to hear the audio because I don't trust the same government that told us that this laptop was Russian disinformation. I don't trust

the same government that had 30 some odd intel officials lie actually commit. I mean, they actually lied to the American public and they signed their name on a document lying to the American public. I just want to let you know as we approach Independence Day how far we've come. We had the founding fathers that signed a document declaring our independence from the crown. And then you fast forward now to current era and you have, you know, a handful, you know, several dozen intelligence officials that sign their name knowingly to a fraudulent document and affirm their support for a false premise so that they can protect this guy. That's how far we've come. So no, I don't trust a president. I don't trust a government that does that in case

anybody's wondering. I want the damn audio. I paid for all of these people's jobs. I work my ass off. So do you. We pay a butt ton in tax. I want a return on the investment of my tax dollars. Or by God, tea in the harbor won't be the only thing going in there. I want the audio. I am owed it.

It is my deliverable as a taxpayer. Give it to a meeth. I want it. You deserve it. I don't want to sit here and screw around anymore. Give us what we want or get out of the way. You're not going to sit here and hide this stuff from us. You're not going to gaslight this from us. You're not going to do this.

So they're all freaking out right now. You see the riots going on in France? They're mad just because the election didn't go their way. The leftists are mad. They don't even know how to properly riot. They stormed the Bastille when the damn thing was empty. This, I'm just telling you, I've had enough of it. Release the audio. We deserve to know what's going on. Because all of this stuff that we're hearing from the inner circle, we know this. And if we've seen this, imagine how bad it is when the cameras aren't on. Imagine how bad it is when he isn't in front of people. Do not forget that that debate was when he was fully rusted, guys. That was a rested fresh off of a vacation, Joe Biden. He is on. Remember, he has taken more

vacation time than anybody else. He, what did they say? I mean, it was over half of his presidential time. was on vacation. He's on perpetual vacation. That's around 40% now, I think. So it's up. He is on constant vacation. He went on vacation again. They went back. They were in Delaware. And they had any leave of it's common, photograph his family, and do all this stuff. So, I mean, he's

been on vacation. He went to France, then he came back and was on vacation. Did the debate and then went back on vacation. When is he? And then I guess now he's going to, he's going to speak, of course, here for a little bit. And then to probably go back on vacation again, because, you know, Independence Day. Constantly on vacation. So all of this stuff. So again, it's really bad from what we can see. So imagine how bad it is from what we can't see. That should tell you everything. So I don't know. I don't know what they're going to do. I do know that there's going to be an optical nightmare if it's not Harris. I saw this story. Let me pull this up because they were discussing, you know, potentially the people that could step in, right? You got Gavin Newsome, who. who's just, he is just itchy. He's over there in the corner.

He's going to a state right now. He's headed to New Hampshire to campus for Biden. And I think that's kind of interesting. He's going to New Hampshire. Trump is in New Hampshire. According to a poll that was released yesterday from St. Anselm College, Trump is apparently plus two over Biden in New Hampshire. And the last time that a Republican won the state was George W.

Bush in 2000. So Gavin Newsom is going to New Hampshire. It's kind of interesting. It's called the Blue Summer Campaign Kickoff. And it's being hosted by New Hampshire's Democrat congressional delegation. So they're welcoming Governor Newsom there on behalf of Biden and Harris. And he had said that he's never, he's not running a secret campaign. And he's never going to turn his back on the president. I mean, if you've turned your back on your wife, I totally believe that you're going to turn your back on, you know, the boss of your party. But I just think it is interesting. Do you see any of the other Democrats going there? Because that's the things. The Hill has a list of seven. Seven Democrats that they say are being discussed. I believe that

they're all being discussed because I know I have Democrat friends and I've heard they don't tell me everything, but they're like there are a lot of calls. And the donor class is out of their minds right now. So they said, obviously, you know, Harris comes up in the forefront of everybody's mind is the most obvious choice because she's VP, but do not forget, she's a DEI pick. She was so unpopular. She came in last place during the Democrat primaries. And there were other women in the race. That's when you had, what's her face, salad fork, Clobuchar. You had Amy Clobuchar who was running. She was beating. Amy Clobuchar was beating Kamala Harris. She wasn't super popular in California either.

She doesn't resonate. She's got a Hillary Clinton likeability problem. And she seems disingenuous. And everybody knows it. But the weird thing is, is there was one survey that came out that said that she outperforms the other candidates. I just think that that's with name recognition with some of these other Democrats. So obviously Gavin Newsome, Big Gretsch was the other name that was being promoted. And she's always been kind of on my list as someone that they would probably try to fast track Big Gretchen Whitmer.

She was she got to office in 2018. Put booty juice never going to happen because he is a, he's there because he's gay. He is in his position because he's gay. Can you imagine that be your only qualification because you were a shoddy mayor? They made, they called him pothole Pete for a reason. And he could not get elected outside of South Bend. He's there because he, because of how he has sex. That's the only reason that he's in that position.

Are we going to actually seriously use that as the litmus test to determine whether or not someone's qualified to run for office because right now we got a piece of Swiss cheese in there. You want to get this guy in there? Bob the builder, Bob the builder who can't fix the damn pothole, but he's there because he's sex with dudes. That guy, now come on. They got Pennsylvania's governor, not going to happen. J.B. Pritzker, not going to happen because he literally looks like a Gotham character. He looks like a villain from Batman. He's like the penguin without the fins. Nobody wants a Pritzker there. Andy Bashir out of Kentucky. He actually might have a future because he's in Kentucky, right?

He's a Democrat in Kentucky. So he's not like a, I mean, he's a Democrat, but he's not a super annoying Democrat that would make the moderate Democrats mad. But they're not ever going to want him because Democrats have forgotten how to win stuff. They really have. They're barely holding on by their teeth right now.

So out of all of this, Newsom, I think, is in the best position. And you've got to remember, coming in this late in the game, it's going to be who can bring the cash. And out of all of these cats, that's Newsom. Because he can fundraise,

and he's super rich. the only Christian conservative cell phone service in the country. And Patriot Mobile just wants to save you money. And they also want to make sure that your money is not working against you at the ballot box. Because I don't think people realize a lot of these cell phone companies, they have these like political action committees and they donate to whether it's gun control or DEI initiatives and they fund school board races and all this kind of stuff. you don't much your hard-earned dollars going to that in this Biden economy, particularly since your dollar stretches a lot less further than it used to. So when you switch, not only are you saving money because they have plans tailored for every kind of need possible, but you're also supporting your own rights

because Patriot Mobile shares your values. They, you know, they're not for DEI. They're not for gun control. They're not for any of that stuff. And they work diligently to make sure that that stuff is defeated and they can help those grassroots activists where needed. You can keep your phone, number of upgrade, the choice is yours.

Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Democracy is the essence of who we are. We're the most unique nation of the world in that we're not united based on race, ethnicity, geography, we're based on idea. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all women and men are created equal. It's in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. They're the two things that are the guardrails to make sure democracy is able to be sustained. It's all about being able to show up.

and vote, be able to have an opportunity to get a fair deal, even chance. It all rests upon our Constitution and democracies, the vehicles. One down, don't cut. I mean, even when he just talks into the camera, you're just like, dude, it's rough looking. It's rough, right? It just doesn't, it looks bad. He's struggling, even just standing there looking into the camera with his C3PO arms. It's rough, dude.

come on it's super rough welcome back to the program danel lash here with you now coming up next hour the mother of joe biden's granddaughter hunter biden's ex london roberts joins us and this little girl i always thought you know can you imagine growing up kind of in the public eye like that because of who your dad is and who your grandfather is and the media knowing that you know they have an acknowledged you, that they want to acknowledge you publicly. What does that do to a kid? Growing up with that. I mean, I know the struggles of, you know, growing up with, you know, being raised by a single mom. I know what that's like. I can't even imagine. Couple that with the intense public scrutiny and a public rejection by, you know, what it seems like your dad and is his family.

and when the family is, you know, the first family and the grandfather is the president of the United States, that's pretty wild. And I just, how do you even prepare a kid to deal with that? We're going to talk to London Roberts. She's got a new book that's coming out in August, and she gets into the whole story in her history with it. And I think that she's well deserved to do it. And why shouldn't she set the narrative straight about a daughter that, you know, the first family. won't even acknowledge. I mean, just what, and I have to tell you, if you did not, if you don't hate the press, if you hate the press, you don't hate them enough. The fact that they just let this

slide, can I just want to put this out there, can you imagine if Donald Trump had a grandkid that he refused to acknowledge? Can you imagine? Like, you can dislike Trump for whatever reason you want to, but all those kids get together at family events. All those kids and their spouses and their exes and their currents, they get together at family events. You don't see anybody doing any of that stuff. I'm just saying. Nobody's left out. Even the ex-wives and girlfriends are brought in.

So it's just miles different. Can you imagine if he had had a granddaughter that he didn't acknowledge? How do you not acknowledge your grandkid either? I don't understand that. I don't get it. And it sounds like, I don't know, maybe she's better off not being around the Bidens. You see how they've raised their kids. we got a lot to get into second hour on the way more of the dana show coming up in moments stick with us some really good coffee veteran owned veteran run there are a lot of um

There have been moments like this that people have seen in front of the cameras and other, and other moments, but with cameras not. So that was Senator Coons on with a C&Ns. And I think honestly, sometimes that's done.

I don't want to give Tapper too much credit because I think he's just trying to look like he's playing both sides. It's safe to do so right now. Welcome back. Dana, last year with you, top of the second hour, coming up at the bottom of the hour, London Roberts, mother of Navy Joan, daughter of Hunter Biden. We'll join us.

This, and of course you can listen coast to coast, terrestrially, Channel 347, DirecTV, the simulcast of the radio program, as well as X, Rumble, everywhere else. There's always a discussion at Rumble. this when they say well it's not honest

to say that it was just one night because it's it's not it's not honest to say that it was just one night and I know that that's like the talking point that they're going out with and I think that they're doing that

to try to satiate the donor class to try to make them feel a little bit better because it's been you know the donor class is kind of freaking out and the only thing

the Biden campaign has said is to chill that's it audio Sunday 12 Jennifer Granholm was asked about this And she's like, well, I can't really, I don't know her. I don't know her. Listen. Any talk of him pulling out among the inner circle?

No. He is moving forward. And that inner circle that sees him every day, including his family. How often do you see him? Do you have personal interaction? Well, again, I'm here in my personal capacity, so I can't really talk about what I see. But I can tell you this. Everybody who is saying he should be running again knows and sees the president on a daily basis. And so people, I mean, going forward, he's got to prove, right, that he's up to it. And he started that on Friday. He continued that on Saturday. And he's going to continue it going forward.

And it's just gets worse. It's just gotten worse. I mean, the video that he did, how many jump cuts was in that video that we played last hour came for days of these United States? Like 30. Somewhere in that range, 35? So this just in, the first Democrat politician has called on Biden to withdraw. Oh boy. It begins.

Democrat Representative Lloyd Doggett. What did I tell? What have I been saying in the past two days? That it's, you're going to have to have a lot of politicians that are going to have to pressure him. And it's got to start. Somebody's got to jump on that landmine. Somebody's got to do it so that other people have the shade to stand in so that they can do it. Oh boy.

This is the first, uh, I think isn't this the first one? one first politician I believe I think so I think so too for this is the first elected poll to do so I think hmm interesting so he's called on Biden because I'm curious as to so theory then you'll start getting all of these other Democrat politicians and it'll be a pile on no pile on pile on pile on pile on and everybody's been pushing this. I mean, I discount the pundits on this. Isn't there? Hold up.

I wanted to see this because I think wasn't there like you even had people like James Carville saying he's got to get out. He's got to go. He can't stay in here. This is bad. And to have the punditry class, like the commentariat do it, you can't because it's it's just they're not going to they're not going to be enough to move the needle it's going to have to be these elected officials because here's the other thing you've got to think of

the depressing effect down ticket on all these down ticket races is going to be incredibly significant incredibly significant that's you know i can't believe in but jake tapper a audio somebody 14 i mean this is uh well i mean i don't even need to play this he just says that there's i mean you can see that there are democrat officials that are trying to do you know, tell you to not believe what you're seeing. I mean, we know this is true. They're trying to tell you, don't believe this. Don't believe what you're seeing.

This is, you know, but it's really, it's not everything is a deep fake. The video with the A Million Jump Cuts that we just played last hour, that's not a deep fake, or sorry, Karin-Jean-Pierre, Ameri-Ti-How did she say Emeritus? Emeritus.

The Nordstrom pipeline. So, of course, she gets deep-fake wrong, calls it cheap fake. Good heavens. I mean, it's, it's, of course. So now you've got a Democrat Lloyd Doggett. He said in a statement, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, he's done. He's served his country. Blu-blah, blah, blah.

I don't care about that. He says that basically he's baiting him. He says, recognizing that unlike Trump, President Biden's first commitment has always been to our country, not himself. And I'm hopeful that he'll make the painful and difficult. decision to withdraw. I respectfully calling him to do so. So he's telling him, you need to put the priority of the country in the party first. And you see how he couches that with an insult to Trump? And then he's like, well, you know, Biden's commitment has always been to the country. So it intimates that, well, your commitment is into the country if you stay in. So it's, it's, he's trying to, he's

goading him on here. So interesting, is it not? So there we go. That, that. That, looks like it's the first, the first one. Now, the first CNN post debate poll has Trump 49, Biden, 43, matched up against Harris. It's 47 to 45. Trump matched up against Newsom. It's 48 to 43. Bootie juice, really, 47 to 43. Whitmer, Trump, 47 to 42. I actually think if there was a debate, if the worst person that Trump would have to debate in all of this, I think would be Whitmer. here's why I say that. I find her abrasive. I find Amy Klobuchar abrasive.

But Amy Klobuchar does not know how to not be abrasive. I think that that Big Gretch, Gretchen Whitmer, can roll it back a little bit. Does that make sense? Like I feel like she can, you know, slow it down a little bit and soften it. and she has her moments.

I don't like her as a politician. I think it was ridiculous how she was arresting people if they wanted to purchase seeds. We wouldn't even let them purchase seeds at a store or whatever. Remember during lockdown? But I think in a debate, I think that because she can be abrasive and I think Trump would be aggressive with her

and I think she would turn up the abrasiveness so that would let her bypass. Because if women are abrasive, they just look like bitches. And I think she gets around that if she can match Trump's aggressiveness. in a debate. Do you see what I mean? And that only benefits. It's a psychological thing. It only benefits her. I think that's the more dangerous debate. I think with Newsom, I think that Trump makes him look like a goofball. I think that she would actually, not that I don't, I don't think that she would

actually match up against him well, except maybe in her own state. But with a debate, I think that's the, but I don't even know if it's going to get to that point, because you have the big roadblock called Kamala Harris. Now, do you honestly think that they're going to strip that from her and give it to a white woman or a white doucher out of California? What does that look like? Do you honestly think the Democrat Party would do that? Do you think they would go for it? I mean, even though that they didn't reverse with Barack Obama, do you think that they would go for it? They already didn't reverse with Barack Obama. They told the old white lady to move aside. Let the man walk through. So, I don't know. I don't know. We'll see.

It's fascinating stuff But I'm just telling you I think it's I don't know That you think that he would not I keep going back to the debate I think that would be his most dangerous That's his most dangerous turf

Would be in a debate with her Because we've seen her talk And she can be aggressive When she wants to be Yeah and plus him attacking Quote unquote a woman You know how the left Always plays that

All it takes is a four second clip Maybe he could just say that he identifies as a woman just for the purpose of the debate. This runner is headed to the Paris Olympics just for doing that. I don't know if you guys saw this. Transgender NBC News, I hate your pop-ups. And I really just sidebar whenever I get a pop-up for a business when I'm trying to read it. In my head, I mentally burn them down.

Let's see. Transgender runner Nikki Hiltz is headed to the Paris Olympics. It's a dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So ran the second fastest stuff. time of any American in the women's 1500 meter. Of course he had a 35533. Jiminy. Why was he second to anyone?

Well, I think it's kind of one of those incredible things where it'll probably slow the down. I don't know, 29 years old. And it goes by the they-them pronouns. Right. What does that even mean? So you go by the, what a? scientifically incorrect pronouns. Okay. So this, so Hiltz is running going to the, going to the Paris Olympics. So it doesn't matter anymore, women's sports, right? Does not matter.

Going to the Olympics, running, going to the, qualified for the 1500 meter. And it said that Hiltz, who uses they, them pronouns charged ahead of L. St. Pierre and Emily McKay in the final stretch of the race. Hmm, you think? You think? Just saying. Just saying. He's a biological man. And he's running in the women's races.

There's a story where he had said, I get tired of being misgendered by sports announcers. You were born with a dong. So get over it. You don't get to force people to call you she and her and woman and lady and all. of this stuff. I mean, you're a white dude demanding that everybody else call you a woman. I mean, if that's not privilege defined, I don't know what is. I demand you call me something imaginary. I demand that you affirm my personal fantasy. Well, my personal fantasy is being a billionaire and driving a 1970 black challenger with black tinted windows, everything black, black, black, black,

glue my will wells. I want everything black. But does that mean I get it? No. How unfair. I've been denied my equity. Just saying. So, I don't know. I just, I feel bad there's a woman who's not going now to the Olympics because this dude has taken her spot. And oh my gosh, if you missed it. So what are they going to get mad? How do you, like, if you're in France, can I just point out the incredible, it's not really coincidental, but it is ironic. You're going to France. Like any Latin based language, you realize that it's based on like male-female, right? La, lay, et cetera. How are you... You're going to get mad if they do that?

It's binary. You're going to get mad if they do that in France? Now, DEI and all of that isn't been successful totally everywhere because now, tractor supply company, they've backtracked. So it's July, so they can backtrack now. Tractor supply company is backtracked after they face disappointment. Because you're a tractor supply store, okay? Just, you know, they offer home improvement and gardening equipment. They have 2,400 stores.

I didn't know that. So they had all a bunch of DEI stuff. And there were, apparently this guy, these tweets came out about this, about this company, because they had the alphabet training for employees, funding for pride drag events, climate funding, funding sex changes, pride month decorations, the obvious. DEI hiring practice LGBTIQIA events at work I don't even know what is the I and the A

is A for A double snakes hole Because I don't, is that what it's for? A's for ally I think I is for inclusive I think A's for A hole Because they're jerks They're being jerks about it. That's what I think You know I'm right

It's true isn't it The B stands for barbecue, right? I wish What is the T's for Tators? I just this and then the plus is just for all you other dumb letters. They just like they just are bridget. Oh, here are these and then you people are the plus. Like what if you're what if you're, you know, or what if you're not even, what if you

identify not even as a letter but as a simple prince did it? Whoa. Gonna have that represented on there. I'm just saying. Only if you can play the guitar like Prince could.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So a quick correction to one of my stories that I had. I was going off this in B. Actually, I think it's in your prep for the substack readers.

It was in, it was an NBC piece that it was identifying this Nikki Hiltz going to the Paris Olympics. And they said she's trans or that he's trans. I'm like, okay, trans, you're a female. Then you were born a dude. But apparently she's not trans. and she was, quote, unquote, assigned female at birth and says that she's non-binary. So then why is NBC saying that she's transgender going to,

you know why? Because they want the headline of saying that they want a transgender or go into the, anyway, I just feel like if you can call yourself whatever you want to call yourself, then I can call you whatever. I want to call you, right? So a quick clarification on that. No thanks to NBC, which still has not corrected this piece. And I actually did send that out to your email prep.

So apologies on that. Also, coming up here, we pulled this. up a few other things. No, I'm not doing that one. I'm not doing that one either. New York is banning phones in cities' classrooms because they said that kids are completely addicted to their

cell phones and it's affecting their mental health. Adults need to check themselves with this too. I'm tired of seeing people constantly on their phones, especially when they're at the dinner table with their families. Let's see here, San Francisco grocery stores temporarily closed due to a rodent infestation. This comes after needles,

feces, homelessness, and now rats. and Apple Watch is becoming doctor's favorite medical device. It's helpful, but I've had a cardiologist tell me you can't totally bank on it, but it is helpful.

And you can check out the simulcast as well, Channel 347, direct TV, find us on X, Rumble, all of those good things. So this is obviously a story that we followed for quite some time. And stories like this, because you have the politics of it, but because of the nature of this story, there was something that resonated within me about this story because I was raised by single mom. And so, you know, this kind of story hits me a little bit more. personal than I think some of the other stories that I talked about because I know, you know,

the struggle that kids feel when they grow up and, you know, you have daddy daughter's dances and you have all of these huge issues in your life. You get married. You have these huge issues in your life and you don't have a very significant person there with you to take part in that. And it's even worse when it's a decision that that person makes, not because of death or anything else like that. So, and I think I've talked to you guys about this before. And I've always just felt, um, very enraged on behalf of my next guest because of this. London Roberts, I think, is an incredibly brave person because I can't imagine stepping out into the storm of this political, you know, catastrophe, whatever you want to talk, however you want to call it. And she's just doing it to fight for

her daughter. And I think it's safe to say that she's motivated entirely by fighting for her daughter. We've seen all kinds of stories and seen all kinds of women, you know, try to get things and, you know, all these Gloria Allred and all this stuff. Her pathway has been very different. She has a new book out called Out of the Shadows My Life Inside the Wild World of Hunter Biden. She's the ex-girlfriend of Hunter Biden. And she's the mother of beautiful little Navy Joan, who I think everybody first saw on the cover of this book. And she is a gorgeous little girl. And London joins us now via Skype.

London, thanks so much for coming on with us and to just really kind of really humanize this story, kind of pull it out of the political world and really sort of humanize it. And I know you're doing it for your daughter and I know that one day she'll see all this and think that my mom was so incredibly brave for doing this. So congrats on the book. I know it comes out August 20th. And just thanks so much for joining us. I appreciate it. Now the first question, this is a big step to come out with a story like this. Why did you feel this was the time to do it? Well, I mean, for a lot of reasons, but you know, the main reason for me is throughout this book, you know, there's, it starts off with my relationship with Hunter and all these wild crazy things that happen, all these wild crazy stories. And then it goes into the paternity suit.

And this is kind of what I tell people, you know, the healing journey is a process. Yeah. And it's not something I would have been able to talk about a year ago or, you know, two years ago. Because, you know, if you think about it, I didn't file the paternity suit until my child was, what, 10 months old? because that was a healing process that I had to go through. I wasn't ready. And so, you know, I'm at a point now where it's taken a lot of healing and a lot of time that, you know, I want my daughter to know that I stood ten toes down and was able to tell my story

despite whatever narrative was held against me and who was held against me. It doesn't matter. I want my daughter to know that, you know, her story matters. And I want her to always be able to tell it. And so I don't know what better gift I could give my daughter this year than, you know, my book for her birthday. It comes out the week before. Oh, wow. That's beautiful.

And the timing for that, that is a great birthday gift. And it's called Out of the Shadows My Life Inside the Wild World of Hunter Biden, because you get into all of that. And this, I know that, you know, because you guys have settled, you, you had a court battle. And we were all kind of watching that. Like, who wouldn't, who would want to deny or not be accountable for their, you know, their daughter, especially the sweet little girl? do you feel at this point, are you in a good, are you in a good spot with that relationship? Do you feel like he's done enough to kind of acknowledge and affirm her place with him? Um, you know, a public statement was given and, you know, he, he does Zoom calls with her, but, you know, there's always that little Zoom call where she'll throw in, okay, and maybe we'll come by and see you sometime.

You know, I, it's difficult because she's your daughter and, you know, you want what's best for her. And you want exactly what she wants in life. And she yearns for that. Right. So, I mean, I think he's taken step forward, forward. But it's, it's tough to say that he's done all he can. And I know he's in a tough place, you know. Yeah.

Going through so much right now and so much is on his plate. But, you know, they always say family first. And they always put their family first. And they can take weekends to Camp David and go on all these places. And there's one little Biden that doesn't get in. on this trip. One little Biden that doesn't get to go on the trip. And that's the other, the other, she's never met her grandfather, has she? No. And I know you haven't, you haven't met the president. She's never met her grandfather. Has she met any of her half siblings or?

No, no, she's not. She actually found out she had half siblings when, um, back in the day when the news would be on. And I've, I've gotten very protective about putting her in places where the news is on, because these days you don't know what's fixing a show on the screen. Is it something from the laptop? Is it, you know, something with her family that just seemed like, you know, a slap in her face? And one of the last times that, you know, we were around the news, it showed, I don't know what they were talking about, but they had the family picture there from their inauguration. And Hunter was holding his son.

And Navy's like, that's my dad. You know, who's he holding? And I have to tell her, you know, that's her little brother. and you know and and then she's well who's that and who's that she's asking down the lines well those are you know those would be your big sisters that's you know hunter's other children she said do they live with my daddy and I live with you and you know I'd say I don't I don't know I don't know where they live says like I can't tell you that well how come they get him and I don't they must live closer to him than I do and I'm like that's probably what it is yeah and that's

And the questions will probably grow, the older that she gets, because she's so young now. She's like five years old now. The questions are only going to grow. Right. And, you know, I talk about that. And towards the end of the book, there's a lot of hard conversations that I have to have with her. She's so intelligent for her age and so brilliant. And, you know, she wants to know who her dad is.

And she's like, you know, one of the stories in the book she asks, she comes up to me and she says, can I hear my daddy's voice? and, you know, what do you do? So the only thing I could think of was to Google the eulogy that Hunter gave at Bo's funeral, where, you know, he says when he woke up from a car accident and he says, you know, he can hear Bo saying, I love you, I love you, I love you. And my daughter's looking at this phone screen watching it and she just whispers back to him, I love you and kisses the screen. And of course, you know, it's heartbreaking because,

She just, he doesn't even know how much she loves him. Right. And it's sad. This, we're talking with London Roberts, who's the mother of beautiful little Navy Joan. And she's the one of the littlest Bidens. And I think everybody knows London's story. And she's been so brave in talking about this. I know that there was discussion about the name, like whether your daughter was going to have his name. And he had said that he wanted to protect her. It was like for security, security purposes.

And that's why he didn't want her to have his last name. everybody knows that that's his daughter, which seems sort of like a defeating argument for him to make. How did how I mean, what is the resolution on that? Is she ever going to have the Biden name? The last time and I talked about it through the child support dispute, which was also the first time I had talked to him since I'd been pregnant. And this was last year. We sat down and he said that, you know, he felt like it was for security purposes and her living in Arkansas, it probably wasn't best. And, you know, at that point, I didn't care. I just, you know, he wanted, he wants to, you know, develop a relationship with her through Zoom and through art. And at the end of the day, you know, I felt like my daughter won because, you know, that was Father's Day that she got to, she was getting a dad.

Like, whether it's over Zill Falls or whatever, this person that she has yearned for so much and wanted to meet, she's finally seeing, even if it is on a phone screen. and we'd actually decided that, you know, one day when she's old enough, she chooses her last name. That's, yeah, and that's good for her. I'm glad that she's getting that, that she's at least getting, like, somebody there, like something that, you know, he's taking that spot. You mentioned when you were pregnant. And I read, and I know that this was something that was discussed, I think, during your court battle, the time that you were pregnant, because I know that you worked at Rosemont Seneca. And there was a story that I don't think a lot of people, know about that it just seemed to sort of just flutter out of the press. And it was the story about how, I mean, you were on the company insurance and then you got kicked, you're pregnant and you get kicked off the company insurance. And there are all of these text messages where, you know, Hunter apparently, you know, was kind of behind removing you from being insured while you were pregnant. And I was reading this and I was really angry on your, I was absolutely livid on your

behalf because, you know, I've got kids and I know how terrifying all of that is and you're dealing with, you know, health insurance and your doctor's checkups and you don't want the added stress of that on top of it. Can you talk about that? And how did you even find out about it? Well, I found out because his assistant had text me and told me that this would be my last week on the payroll and stuff and Hunter wanted to relay that message, you know, because he couldn't talk to me. He couldn't address me because he knew what he was doing was wrong. He knew that that, you know, he had a child on the way and it was, he knew all that. And so he had someone else tell me and the rage, the heartbreak, it was just like, I knew that he was never going to take

accountability and he was never going to step up. And it took time to process all of those emotions because it was, I was in a dark place myself because I'd come home and, you know, I'm pregnant with a man who's literally abandoned me. He's not talking to me anymore. I know he's suffering from addiction and he's in a dark place. So I'm making excuses for him. It's possible that I'm carrying, you know, one of the next first grandchildren and think of the scandal, you know, that this is going to cause. And then you come home to this small town and there was, I didn't go out. I was in a really dark place. So I didn't really go anywhere. I tried to stay home. And there was so many rumors around the small town about, you know, me being pregnant, not who know, no, no,

who the father was and being ashamed. And it's like, no, I was doing that to protect him. I thought by me coming home to Arkansas and not telling anyone who the child's father was protected him. And I took all that backlash. And, you know, then you have a child. And you become a mother and you're like, there's no way when this child gets older and she asked me who her dad is.

I'm going to tell her, I don't know. Or I'm going to tell her, don't worry about it. No. You know, from the beginning, I'm going to be honest. And I'm going to fight for him to take accountability. and own up to his child because a child doesn't just go away. And that was something that I wanted to make very clear, especially when all those things were happening,

like from insurance to, you know, the payroll to just not acknowledging her, you know, and I'm sending messages letting him know, you know, she's here, she was born, and I just get left on red. There's nothing. Left on red, and when you were told that there wasn't any money to help, you know, with your medical, with the medical expenses or to help with Navy Joan, you know, he's, he was buying some nice cars and spending about half a million dollars on women and there were a lot of expenses that were going out on his end. He's going on nice vacations. I mean, that's

kind of jarring to see, you know, things like that in the press and then you're dealing with everything, protecting him, dealing with what you're dealing with in Arkansas. How did that make you feel? Hurt. There's a lot of times throughout the book, you know, like I contemplated suicide at that time in my life. I knew that, you know, I wasn't. You know, I wasn't. I wasn't going to do that as long as I was pregnant. But there's a chapter throughout the book that was really, really tough for me to write. And without my co-authors, I don't think I would have gotten through it because it was, I talk about how I become the scandal and it's possible, you know, Hunter had invested his trust in me and I let him down because I became pregnant.

And so I turned into this horrible, dark place mentally. And I think that, you know, after the pregnancy, I'll just, you know, if I'm gone, Navy will have a better life. And, you know, she'll be brought up by my parents who are, you know, great people. And she'll have this backbone of support with my family. And then there won't be no scandal for Hunter because, you know, it'll just, it'll go away. If I go away, it'll go away. And, you know, throughout the book I even talk about in that chapter, you know,

I wrote a letter to my mom and my dad and my sister. And like the first time I fed Navy, I talk about being so detached because my cousin was holding her in the room. room and they bring the bottle in for the first time you feed her. And I'm just like, you can feed her. It's no big deal. And they're like, no, the first feeding has to come from the mother. And the thing that went through my head was I probably should because one day, Navy's not going to have very many pictures of her mother and her, her and her mother. So it's probably best that I do the feeding. And at least one day she can cherish this photo. You know, like it, it got to a really dark place. And it wasn't until I found that love for my child and, you know, mother's love is the greatest thing on earth.

Powerful. And it wasn't until then that I dug myself out of that hole. And once I dug myself out of that hole, I filed for paternity and I knew that I would break down any barrier and, you know, withhold no pity to anybody when it came down to my daughter, because that was the one person I was going to protect and be there for until the day that time. I love that you had said you never once thought about abortion. And I mean, here you were talking about removing yourself from the equation, but never, but never, Navy Joan. We're talking with London Roberts, and I know we only have a few minutes left. I know that there's no protection, there's no secret

service protection or any kind of security afforded to Navy, even though everybody knows who she is. You've talked about your home getting broken into. And that obviously is a huge concern. No security, though, even though she's the granddaughter of the president of the United States. Yes. And, you know, the more I talk about it, the more it just doesn't make any sense because she is a first granddaughter. And quite frankly, you know, there's so much going on out there in the world that you don't know how far someone will go. Right. To get at, you know, that family. And I'll add to that the president has said, quote, all his grandchildren are protected by the Secret Service. And this is in multiple news articles. He has said this to the press publicly. And at least the White House has commented on it. And that's, that's, So that's, but Navy Joan is the one who is not afforded the same sort of protection as the other grandkids. No, Navy Joan has no secrets, sir. Goodness. This, what would you, you know, and we're talking to, again, talking to London Roberts, what would you say to, because they, not just Hunter, but maybe the first family.

Because it's also important that kids know where they come from and they know, you know, you know, the other half of their family, the other half of their, you know, genetics where, you know, who their grandparents are. who their aunts and uncles are. What would you say to the family? Because since she's, and the nation sees that she's always left out. And someday she's going to see that as well. I don't even know how you prepare her for that. What would you tell the family?

What would you say to them maybe to, you know, on her behalf? Well, you know, in the book, out of the shadows of the last, I end it with a letter to Hunter that I write to him. But, you know, to everybody involved is, you've missed out. You have missed out on such a beautiful, brilliant child. And those are years that you can never get back. You know, those are things that I wish they could have been involved in. Because those are, I mean, the best years of their life, it seems, as a mother.

And, you know, watching them grow and building this foundation for them. And, you know, you've missed a lot. And I just have to ask why. What's the point in that? She's a beautiful little girl. And you're such, you're strong fighting for her. And I appreciate that about you. And thank you for coming on and being incredibly transparent about everything.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Do you, can you wrestle a python or is it just about not getting killed by it? You know what I mean? Okay, so a man in the Everglades wrangled a 17-foot-long python under the moonlight on a dirty road in the Everglades over the weekend.

Matthew Kogo, 49, he's a python hunter, you know, because they're invasive and they're trying to get them all. There's legit video of him doing this. Y'all, this thing could kill him. It could wrap around him and kill him. Good night. He's all right. They got the thing, but, you know, we went long with our interview and that's totally fine, it's worth it. We have a whole other hour on the way. And Jen Van Laar joins us. There's some

movement in the background with the Dems. Stick with us. So folks know these resources are available to them and anyone who needs them. You got, I was telling the group who to brief me earlier. My brother has an expression. You've got to know how to know. What? This was, where was he out at the weather center? Something to that a fuck? And he's, I don't even, what, what? Welcome back. That was the president. Y'all know that. Dana Lash here with you. Top of this third hour. Good night. I don't even understand. I don't know. He's added again. I told you last hour, I was pulling this up, Democrat, Representative Lloyd Doggett became the first elected politician to say that Biden's got to go. Ooh. So it begins.

how many how many you know you do have some cover it's Independence Day weekend you know I mean you got some cover there couldn't they just like everybody just everybody just call for it at the same time on the the night of the third July 3rd or the morning of the 4th right just do it then just go ahead and get all your demands in then that'll help that'll help give you some cover I don't know how they're going to do this and that's one of the things we're going to talk about coming up with Jen Van Laar because I mean that's the million dollar question. How

do they there's a couple of different ways you could go about it. There's ways that they could kind of you know push him out of the as the nominee but it sort of all depends. I mean he would he would have to lose the he didn't lose a primary

he would have to lose pledged delegates because even though he's got some of them locked up, he would, you know, he would have to resign at this point to, quote, unquote, unlock some of them. He could resign after the primary. And that wouldn't, that would avoid the delegate fight to the death on the floor. And it would actually omit the role of delegates altogether. And then you just have the party powers that pick it, which is more fitting with their ideology, I think. Now, how does that, you know, know, he's sliding into, well, he is unelectable. I, again, I just want to remind you guys, the reason that he's not being charged in the classified document thing is because Robert Hurst said, eh, he's not fit to stand trial. He's this old geyser who's senile.

He can't even stand trial. He's not fit to stand trial. I maybe have added the geyser and senile part, but he said he's not fit to stand trial. He's just, but he's fit to run the country and fit to run a race. what I'm saying here. So don't gaslight us. We've already known this. That's why they don't want to release the audio. They give you a doctor transcript. They won't give you the audio for that. Now, they could as a result of that say that, and by they, I mean Democrats, they could say this meets the standard of measure for unelectability. So we're going to invoke some procedural

rules that they change back in November where we can fill a vacancy. We're going to talk to Jen Van Laar about that. I don't know. It's just, it really is something. We're going to see how this, I mean, how was this all going to go? I honestly think that nothing, I would be shocked if he resigned before the convention. Would you, Cain, if you had a pick before the convention or after the convention? No, definitely be after, because they still have some days apparently, right?

Oh, yeah, even after the convention. Yeah. So, yeah, I think that they're going to play this as long as they can because they have a different, if they're going to replace him, they've got to create some sort of narrative behind it first. And I think that's kind of where we're at. I think that's where we are. Yeah. I think that's where we are too. So, yeah, that's where we're looking at.

Now, they said that insiders are furious. They're livid. You know, the donors are trying to figure out what's going on. The donor class is upset. It doesn't help that the Biden campaign tells them to chill out. And that's literally what they said was to chill out. I mean, it's kind of crazy. Kind of crazy.

A couple of other things to get into before we talk more about this with Jen Van Laar coming up at the bottom of the hour. So I thought this was interesting. So yesterday we posted about the, I hate even saying this phrase. Can this be the last time I say it? The Hucketaw video. I don't even care about this thing. I made one video.

I said one thing about it. And I'm going to say one other thing today. because I don't even think this is about the chick that's in it. This is about a phenomenon on the right specifically. Now, I wrote, so I have a piece that I want to have coming out about this because I'm looking at the ideology of the right, which I think this is a symptom of. It's not even about this video or the chick in it or anything. It's not about the blowjob girl. Okay.

It's not about any of this. It's about how I think conservatives or even, you know, politically. agnostic normal people, for the lack of a better way to say it. I think that they've been so desperate for any kind of heteronormative event to save them from the deluge of rainbow everything that they'll make anything that even remotely kind of affirms that famous. So, and I think that that video was such a heteronormative event, right? Because that it coincided with Pride Month, which July ended, thankfully, was kind of ironic because we all justifiably complain, right, about the consumerist gay sex overload,

topped off by all the stuff that went down in San Francisco last weekend. But now you have hats made because of the saying in that video and probably shirts and maybe even those precious Stanleys that everybody walks around with, right? Everybody's got them, they got them Stanleys. So I think that it's a little bit more, you can't just say that it's just so it was just, one thing in the video. It's, you know, a lot more than that. And Zach Bryan concert appearances, interviews, there's a lot of stuff that it's been doubled and tripled and quadrupled down on. So it's not just like one moment that was in a video. It's, and look, I'm a capitalist, but so are all of the companies that just cis rainbowed us all to death for four weeks in June, right? My whole thing is,

can people just stop sharing everything about their sex lives? You know what I mean? Can we just stomp with the sharing of all of it, is it too much to ask? I mean, save something for the guy in bed. Can you please? Will you? Because, and I don't know, maybe some people say it's prude. And if you don't know what prude means, that's Latin for not a ho. And to ask everybody from like, you know, the Hucktaw horde to the Rainbow Mafia to stop oversharing everything. You know what I mean? And I also remarked that there are a significant number of people on the right who may vote Republican this round, right? But they're not religious people. It's one thing to be a disciple and it's one thing to just, you know, like Jesus, right? He's an okay guy. I mean, he turned water into wine and everything.

Woohoo. Now, some folks, you know, celebrating blowjobs on video and on hats and on concert stages and in interviews, you know, the press store is probably just starting is awesome and hilarious. So lighten up, you not a hose, right? But it's also a complete contradiction of the Tradd Revival. which sees women as women and men as men and rejects modernity, which I hate, and embraces and celebrates tradition, correct? Progressives host slut walks. And that was bad. We made fun of it, right? Did we not make fun of it?

And they're bad, but wait, what's the new rule? Because now conservatives publicly venerate BJs and merchandise the celebration. So what is bad? What's the new rule? I didn't get the memo. Is there a new rule? I just don't know. Everything's bad that the right does, or at least if anyone even possibly thinks it could be from the right, that's bad. Well, no, I don't, my whole point is I don't want us to start saying that this is good if we have our own version of it.

Right. No, no, no. I say, okay, I see what you mean. Then you're right. It's trying to play the game that they've been playing this whole time. That is, yeah. That's my whole entire point. And I don't want to single anybody out, you know. But my, my My whole thing is I don't want to say, wait, no, it's only good if the right can do a version of it. And then if we have our version of it to counter their version of it, then it's okay. Because then if our version of it is okay, doesn't that then somehow make okay by its very presence what they're doing? Do you see what I'm saying? And then you can be like, well, that's one thing. And this is another.

Is it though? And there's another angle too where it's like, you know, the narrative of the right being so uptight all the time. It's not. Look, I'm going to tell you people, you're not uptight if you're not a hoback, okay? You're not being uptight. You're being classy. When something like this is said and is funny and it's in passing, I think a lot of this was the left capitalizing on it to kind of shove it in people's faces in a way. Because did you see the, remember when the story came out that she had a dad that was a preacher and that she got like fired? I've seen all kinds of stuff come out. But I've seen all the merging come from. Let's be real. I mean, I'm. I, it's one thing if it's like, oh, somebody said it in a video, et cetera. I get it. You're young. You're 23. You say something in camera.

That's fine. It just seemed like there was a lot of effort behind this one particular thing. I don't know that I agree with that. I don't know. It looked like it to me. It looked like that there's a lot of effort. But here's the biggest thing, though, part of the reason that we're in this mess, and hear me, part of the reason that we're in this mess is because feminism has sold sexual promiscuity as freedom and empowerment.

That's like the big reason why we're in this mess. I mean, your women were told to fornicate for freedom. Really, that's that was, that's kind of, you know, that's one of the, the core principles of feminism. And this has been, as you know, a great gift to families and divorce rates, right? Now, simultaneously, feminism has unyoked men from any kind of responsibility, any kind of accountability, or duty to the women empowering themselves through sexual freedom, right? A practice which hasn't at all, as you know, contributed to the classification of abortion as a woman's right or any of the sort.

So I think the point in this, there's like two things that I'm seeing. The first is that I think part of the right is becoming just progressively unchurched and more culturally left-leaning and entirely unaware of it. And then I also think that there is, is this idea that you can somehow remake something that is bad into a virtue if you do it simply because your bias alters your perception of whether it's good to do or not, if that makes sense. That's what I don't like because then you're becoming what you oppose, correct?

And it's not prudish, which again is Latin for not a ho. it's not prudish to say maybe you should I mean if you make one thing to an aside like in a private conversation that you don't expect to get out

you know I mean granted I could get really Bible thumper on you and I could be like well you know maybe you shouldn't see anything privately that you wouldn't want to express in front of the world

or say as my grandmother would say next to Jesus and then I got in trouble one time because I was like would you I heard you gossiping at lunch would you say that to Jesus and it was like the only time my grandmother got mad at me

that's an aside anyway, I just think that there's, it's one thing to be one moment, but it's another thing to like build it and keep pushing it and keep pushing it and keep pushing it. And this isn't even, this is not so much, this is like less about the video, more about the rights perspective on things, right? Now I look at this and then I see all the red pill stuff. Have you seen that like the trad wife movement where you have these chicks that are 23, barely married, never had kids? And they want to sit here and lecture all of you about what successful relationships look like. Never mind the fact that their nickname was Mattress when they were in college and in high school. That's, you know, I see that happening too, which is going to be a whole other topic of discussion. But I'm just curious as to what this sort of convergence looks like culturally for the right in the future. That's my whole point in this. Don't take something that you don't like on this side and think, I'm going to do it and make it virtuous because you're doing it. It's still not the best thing to do.

That's the whole point. Don't be prude about it. Now, we have a lot more on the way. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. Oh, this is so bad. Oh, my gosh, a town in Palm Fret, Connecticut. You've heard of when Blank hits the fan, right?

Okay, well, what happens when a manure truck rolls over, smashes into a car, and sprays it all over multiple vehicles and homes? And I mean, like, the white clapboard houses? Yeah, that's what we're talking. about here. Oh, but this is what happened in Palmfret, Connecticut. They said it was literally one of the neighbors said, quote, it was like literally a watcherfall of Brown. What can Brown do for you? When I see those commercials, I'm like, who? The driver suffered minor injuries. Workers from the trucking company were on the scene this week cleaning up

the mess. I mean, this house was coated in, just covered in it, covered in it. There's Literal photos and video. Fire demolition. There's no cleaning that. I mean, it's manure. It's NAS. Oh. Oh my gosh. That was your house. I can't even imagine the smell.

It's July now. Oh, my gosh. Theodore Roosevelt's timepiece was stolen and then returned. Okay. The Sagamore Hill National Historic Site on Long Island. It's featured in a new exhibit. It was stolen about four decades ago. And now it's returned to its rifle home

thanks to some local experts. It was his silver pocket watch. It went missing in July of 87. And it was on a six-year loan to the Buffalo inaugural site when it was taken. So now it's back. His watch is back. I know that's like breaks your,

makes your day, right? Five-year-old girl was left on the bus for the entire day in hot heat. I still have a story about one time I went to the bus shed because I couldn't see out the window. I was a little bitty tiny when I was in kindergarten.

I was in toddlers clothes. And I couldn't see to know I was coming home. And they didn't know I was there and I went all the way to the bus shed. It's true. story. Anyway, this five-year-old girl, she, I mean, she was on the bus for this 94 degrees. It was in Louisiana. Oh, humidity. And she did not leave the bus until school was out five hours later.

She was in the school all day, or in the bus all day, 95, 94 degree heat. So they, they're looking into what in the world happened here. How did this happen? We have more to come. Jennifer Van Laar with Red State. Yes, Democrats can replace Biden. Stick with us. Whether you're a policy walk, a news junkie, or simply someone who, hungry for insightful discourse that Dana Show podcast has your back. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. I love him coming out doing those rallies, but those rallies are scripted. The teleprompter, and he's working the crowd. You take this help prompter away, can he do it? If he can do it, everybody's going to calm down and get back to work. If he can't

do it, we've got a problem. Until we see him in an unscripted environment, until we get a week out from the polls. Nobody knows whether we should stick with Joe Biden or try to move away from him yet. What do you mean if you see him in an unscripted environment? That's Van Jones on CNN. I mean, I don't think it gets any more unscripted than the stuff that we've seen. He's been falling down and I

don't think it gets any more unscripted than that. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, bottom of this third hour. You can listen coast to coast, channel 347 direct TV as well where you can catch the simulcast of the radio program, find us on RumbleX, all that good stuff. So, you know, there's been, Gavin Newsom's going to be a new

Hampshire. He's campaigning in New Hampshire. That's weird, right? Because he's not really what I would think of as like a Biden surrogate. He's the only one of all of the people who's on this list of maybe potentials to replace Biden who insists that he's not going anywhere. Who's going to New Hampshire, which Trump apparently, according to a new poll, is plus two over Biden in that state. So what can we infer from this? I feel like the person best reading the tea leaves on this is Jennifer Van Laude, who's the managing editor over at Red State. And she's been on top of this from the get-go. For like two years, I think longer than that,

she's been warning everybody about Gavin Newsom. She's like, look, he's coming with all his hair products. He's coming. He wants to go to the White House. And everything that she says has panned out. She joins us now via Skype. Jennifer, so good to see you. It's kind of, so am I, okay, you'll,

you can tell me if I'm reading way too much into this. Because I don't think, I don't see Big Gretch going to New Hampshire. I don't see Pete Buttigieg going to New Hampshire. it's just Gavin Newsom. And that's kind of weird. But he says he's not running a secret campaign. And he says that it's silly to not back Biden. But he never said that he wouldn't consider maybe switching out.

What do you infer from this? That he's absolutely considering it. He's trying to play the statesman role and support Biden. So he can go back and say, oh, I never pushed anyone out. I rose to the call. I think you and I spoke about this like last year saying where I said he'll say that this is his duty to step in as a statesman and help the party and help the country. Yeah, and that he just looks like he's being a team player.

He's just being a team player and he's just out there supporting the president. What is interesting, I know he and Kamala Harris both come from California, but they don't seem to have done any kind of joint events. And he hasn't said a thing about her, which I think is even more telling. Do you agree? Agree. And they have it now, but they came up at the exact same time in San Francisco politics with the exact same donors and backers. And little known fact, back probably 15 years ago,

they mapped out who was going to run for what, when, so they wouldn't be running against each other. Oh, that's interesting. So, I mean, I'm wondering who, so she was going for AG, he's going for governor. Ooh, that's very interesting. So this list, I know the hills come out with a list. And I think of the list, because they were talking about Buttigieg,

Bashir out of Kentucky, Whitmer, obviously Newsom. I mean, everybody kind of skips over Kamala Harris. Would Newsom be, because there's a lot of discussion about the optics of kicking, you know, a woman of color off of, you know, out of the vice presidency and replacing her with this guy from California. Is Newsome aggressive enough to do that? Does he care about those optics at all? He cares about it only to the extent that it's going to help him and what he wants to do. So he's going to push anyone out of the way for anything that he wants from all of my research of him. one of the biggest narcissist that I've ever seen in politics, which, as you know, is filled with

narcissists. Yeah, that's like, that says a lot that he's like the biggest one. We're talking to Jennifer Van Laugh, managing editor of Red State. You've talked before, and I think this was the last time that you were on. We discussed this. And I actually just sent this video of our interview out in my substack a few days ago reminding everybody of the process of how that would work if they were going to replace Biden. They had Lloyd Doggett out of Texas. He was the first elected Democrat now to say that Biden has to go, whether the other ones line up, we'll wait and see. But until that time, if they can't convince him to relinquish, you know, his delegates and resign before the convention, how does that work after the convention? Because you've written about this. They can, they can

question whether or not he's fit enough. And I would just think, doesn't that her decision to not charge him because he's not mentally fit? To me, if I were a Democrat, I'd be like, well, there's my excuse right there. How does this work? Right. And I thought that was. going to happen whenever that her report came out that something might trigger Joe to drop out because they had a lot more time then. And I'll couch this answer by saying that they can change their rules anytime. Their committees are all meeting before the convention in the next few weeks. And they can continue to change their rules. So I would fully expect them to do that to do whatever is advantageous. But currently, after the convention is adjourned, if the president or vice presidential candidate is

vacant due to disability, and it doesn't say who determines the disability or how, then the DNC is the one who gets to pick the replacement. So they just shove the delegates out of the equation altogether, basically? Basically. Oh, interesting. And there's no, you said there's no, nothing that explains who certifies or makes the determination about the disability. It's very vague.

Yeah, and I think it's intentionally vague. Just like all the administrative state laws that Democrats have authored over the years, it's intentionally vague so they can define it however they want to at the time. And they changed this in last year, end of last year. 2020. So this, it's almost like they kind of saw what was coming down the road. They might as well go ahead and get, you know, get ready for it. If they, so if they do this after the convention, how soon after the convention?

I mean, because then you've got like what, maybe two months before the election. if that, how soon do you think that would happen? Well, given the news yesterday, things are up in the air. You know, they might try to nominate him as early as July 21st, according to Bloomberg yesterday and on a roll call vote on a conference call, basically. So their bylaws say after the convention adjourned, so does that mean at the end of the August convention or at the end of whatever convention air quote that they're doing with this nomination? that remains to be seen.

So if they, so I mean, it could be, it could be newsome. But then there's, and I think you've highlighted this before, you've mentioned it before, there's then the difficulty of if Biden is out, then who gets his campaign war chest? Because I think according to FEC laws, it could only go to Kamala Harris. But then again, they can just change the rules at any time, probably. Or they could just do one of those, or they just go ahead and do it and then see whatever fines they get later. Yeah. Or maybe a pack? Could they put it through a pack? Maybe, but the thing is on this fundraising hall that they just, I've got the numbers right here,

they just said that they raised $127 million in June, but that includes the DNC numbers and two joint fundraising committees. So those entities are not bound by the same rules that the presidential campaign itself is. Oh, that's very interesting. So that's a lot easier to transfer those funds over. We're talking with Jennifer Van Laar, managing editor of Red State. And she says, yes, absolutely that Democrats can replace Biden with Gavin Newsom or anybody else that they want to. So if you were looking, if you were a betting girl, how would you like, is it going to be a Newsom or a Harris? I'm just, I'm, I mean, I can't imagine it would be Whitmer because I feel like she kind of has a Hillary Clinton likability problem. P. Buttigieg is a DEI hire.

Newsom can bring cash. I don't know if Harris can as well, because I know that's a big factor to consider. How does this play out? What is your best guess? Because you haven't been missing with it. So I don't think it'll be Kamala because if it was going to be Kamala, they would have already made it Kamala. They would have already had Joe say that, you know, I'm not going to run again. Like you said, Whitmer is just completely unlikable.

Pete Buttigieg comes off as an idiot. And if you don't know Gavin Newsom, you don't know what he's been doing and you're just your average person that's been going to work and taking care of your family. family, you might like the things he says. Yeah. Because he lies without even, you can't tell the man's lying. He's so good at it. So this is the other, this is, this comes up with the other problem that you are actually tweeting about. And there is some tea here. Ooh, my gosh. It is a soap opera. It's like a California soap opera of all soap operas. So we, we were talking on the program a couple days ago or last week that, you know, if they do switch Biden out, you're going to see a honeymoon period from the press, unlike anything we've ever seen. I mean, it's good, they're going to, they're going to. gloss over everything. They would just fawn over him. But I feel like they would have to really work overtime, particularly when women are a very important demographic to Democrats. And then you have the whole story about his past marital indiscretions. And it apparently played out

very publicly on the internet. Tell us about this. Yes. So he had an affair with his best friend's wife, a best friend who was also his campaign manager. The wife was also his employee. He was married to Kim Gilfoyle, but she was living in New York at the time working with court TV. So he has an affair with Ruby, Rippy Tork is her name. And she was having issues with drug and alcohol addiction. So in rehab, she came clean that they'd been having this affair. The best friend said, screw you, Gavin, I'm out. And there was all kinds of publicity. Well, he had just started dating his now wife, Jennifer Siebel, who then went to be, you know, White Knight, her boyfriend, online and says, well, it was a few nothing encounters when she showed up, passed out outside Gavin's door, which sounds, and I'm not going to say that it is, but it sounds a lot like date rape. And, you know, she's obviously at that time getting the her news from Gavin Newsom.

She wasn't there when it happened. And if this is how Gavin explained that away, that's really concerning. But what's more concerning is that this has been out since 2007. These news articles have been up since then, quoting her. And that's how bad the California press is with holding this guy's feet to the fire. And the national press for sure would do the same. Wow. They would definitely, especially because apparently the wife, as you said, called this Ruby Lady the culprit in the affair. She got some blowback from that.

And then she kept trying to rehab herself online. just the woman did not know when did not over. She would not stop talking. It was like Christy Noem on steroids. She just would not stop talking. Yeah, and then she called Harvey Weinstein, who now she alleges had raped her before this for crisis management advice. How does that play in it?

We're all shaking our heads here. How does that play in a general election? That is such a nightmare. He's already got so much baggage. They're not concerned about this? I mean, the only thing we can hope is that someone like Gretchen Whitmer decide that they really want to go for it. And she starts slinging mud at Gavin

because the only hope we have of getting some of this stuff actually covered is a battle between Democrats. Wow. And you add too, in addition to revealing her terrible talking about Jennifer Siebel Newsom, her terrible crisis communication skills, her online rants reveal a lot about her character. She cannot be allowed anywhere near the White House. I can't even imagine,

because we are very concerned about the weaponization of bureaucratic agencies now. And that's just with Jill and Joe. I can't imagine what that would look like with Newsom. That would be child's play. Jennifer Newsom would look at Jill and say, you're such a pedestrian.

Oh, wow. Oh, everybody's, you're coming after you. Oh, my gosh. She might have to get herself to Texas or Florida. Oh, my goodness. Jennifer Van Laar with Red State. You always do such great work. And we're going to be waiting to see what comes

next and in your analysis of it. Thank you so much for all you do. Thank you. Of course. We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up this third hour of our show and, of course, roll on into today in stupidity. That is kind of terrifying to think of the Newsom's involved in that because, I mean, his wife, you're arguing with people about the women that he's had affairs with online. What is the matter with you? What is it? Oh, my gosh. All right. All right. Let's move on. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. Welcome back to the program. So tomorrow, because it's Fourth of July Eve, it's going to be Fourth of July bumper, bumper to bumper.

And so we already got that all planned out, very excited about that. Now, towards the end of the week, I'm going to be going on a little vacation-sy for the next week. And then coming back refreshed and super jack. up and everyone's terrified of that. The first week that I'm back from vacation is always like, everyone's like, oh my gosh, stop. So anyway, so just letting you guys know all of that. But no, we got our bumper track list also because it hasn't rained in a long time. I don't even think I, because you know in Texas, you can't do like the fireworks. And I always feel a little bit nostalgic about, you know, not having a bottle rocket war. I don't know if you guys grew up

like that, but we did. You know, when your family would go by the bar, everybody would stand by the barbecue grill and they drink beer, and you and your cousins would go out to whatever field, and you would literally try to blow each other up with fireworks, and that lasted like all night. Nobody got hurt. Nobody got set on fire. It was good old fashioned fun, right? Now it's, I don't know, you can't do that anymore. I mean, we, and if there were, if you were at the river or anything, because nobody, I'm sorry, where my family comes from Southern Missouri, we ain't got no pools. You were in the river or the creek. That's how it was. But nobody checked and make sure no one was drowning. I had a conversation with a friend of mine the other day and we're like,

do you know how no one ever thought like, we shouldn't check on the kids in the water? I was like, that's true. I would just hear Fleetwood Mac and people grilling and drinking and then nobody would come to. I mean, that's, you know, this is how it was, you know, and you'd be in the water playing, catching tadpoles. And then when you weren't, again, trying to set each other on fire with fireworks. The only thing that I was not allowed to do was hold a Roman candle. That pulls me away. I was never allowed to hold a Roman candle. mother used, which I'm pretty sure, is a made up guy named Augie. And she used to say that everything in the bad in the world from drugs to drinking happened

to this guy. Like he, like one time he had, he did some acid and it's covered his brain in scar tissues, what she told me. And it was one acid is what she told me. One acid. One acid is what? Yeah. She said one acid.

That's what she swore of what she said. He was this guy. And then she told me one time that he blew his hand off with a Roman candle. And then I swear I think I met him at the look. country restaurant when we were down there. And I'm like, you have all your hands. So, I don't know. I feel like she lied. So the first thing that I

did when I was a grown woman, I got a rum a candle. It's literally the first thing I did. When I was out on my own, I was like, I'm not going to drink wine. I'm not going to get a rum a candle. Still have all my hands. But this will be sadly, Kane, the last weekend that some people have all their fingers because of fireworks. So be safe, kids. Today is stupidity.

All right, it is our president. Even though it looks like Corrine Jean-Pierrez disappointed, the federal court has blocked Biden's ban on liquefied natural gas exports. But anyway, this is Biden saying this, right off the teleprompter. Listen. We've invested billions to enhance our power grid. Expand energy shortages. Whoa, expand energy shortages.

Why would anybody want to expand energy shortages? Tomorrow we're going to talk about how it's just coming in, that Hunter Biden is now joining meetings with his dad and top aides at the White House. NBC news reporting this. There was one staff member that said, quote, what the hell is happening? I think over the holiday, something is going to happen.

Dude, what? What? It's always when you leave town. I'll be back behind the mic with you tomorrow. You know, I do have to go on vacation. It's not my fault. That's something, everybody, that the world chooses to be goofy when I do.

I'll be back behind the mic with you tomorrow. Find us on Substat, Chapter and Verse, YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe. Have a great night.
