In this episode, we delve into the aftermath of a poignant commercial aired during a big game, highlighting the subtle appearances of hate, and the symbolic effort of the Blue Square Alliance against it. Our conversation navigates through the turbulent waters of Middle Eastern political dynamics, with a focus on Lebanon’s contentious position and how these complexities influence international relations. As tensions simmer, the narrative explores misinformation, mistributations of intent in diplomacy, and how geopolitical influences shape global perspectives.
SPEAKER 06 :
This is Chelsea Handler from Dear Chelsea. After the big game, like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials and there was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate and it wasn’t loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who is Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn’t always announce itself, but the impact is still huge. If you saw the blue square spot during the big game, it’s worth thinking about. And if you want to show support, sharing the blue square is one small way to do that.
SPEAKER 07 :
Welcome to the program. What you’re dealing with is an insane amount of misinformation. that deals with who was party to this, not really an agreement, the approach to an agreement, the framework, and who wasn’t. And you’re hearing a lot about Lebanon, because Lebanon, as you know, Israel’s neighbor to the north, decided that they were going to full-on start launching rockets towards Lebanon. or towards israel from lebanon they were going to start launching rockets over towards israel and this was you know right after we had the initial strikes on iran now lebanon is not israel as they check in correct it’s not israel it’s not israel and so this is not a party that can be i mean away and i mean they’re not privy to this They’re not privy to this at all right now. And so, as a result, you have Hezbollah in southern Lebanon that’s attacking their neighbors to the south. This was after the first strikes in Iran. So Israel responded, as one would when they were attacked, right? I mean, if someone’s attacking you in your home, are you going to respond? Are you going to sit there, I don’t know? You’re going to respond. It’s just the way it is. So… As a result of Israel responding, Iran has decided, well, we’re going to pretend, we’re going to retcon them into existence. We’re going to retcon Lebanon into existence as part of this agreement. And that’s just not, I mean, they were never part of the agreement. It wasn’t even mentioned as part of the agreement by the president of the United States. It wasn’t even part of it. So this whole thing is just nonsense. They’re trying to, Iran is trying to insist that Lebanon is part of this so they can protect their terror group friends. That’s the whole point of it. They want to protect their terror group friends. They want to be able to protect Hezbollah and Hezbollah’s actions, their terrorist actions, and they want to retcon them into existence as being somehow part of this agreement that they were never part of. And so if you’re a subscriber, like I said, I did a deep dive on that yesterday and Now, as it pertains to a couple of other things, the leaking with the pilot in Iran, apparently they got the guy last night. Kash Patel said, So they apparently got… the guy who, or the person who was leaking. And there’s a question on, you know, you’ve got free speech and you’ve got leaks and you’ve got all this stuff, but there’s a question, you know, if you’re talking about hampering the military and compromising the safety and security of the military, that turns into a big question as to whether or not that’s a journalistic exercise or not. But they said, we got him. It was that missing… They got the guy who was leaking about the missing pilot. Because that’s when, remember, Iran was… They were looking for him. 7,000 feet stuck in a crevasse with just a pistol and a prayer, as it was reported. So they were able to find the guy. But, I mean, they had to fight against the media. They had to fight against the left. They had to fight against Iran looking for them. So… This is there’s a lot of a lot of pieces, a lot of moving pieces in this. And it really does feel like the administration’s not just having to deal with Iran, but they’re also having to deal with some of the people that are in the coalition that aren’t necessarily conservatives. And they’re not Republicans, but they’re in the coalition and they’re creating problems now because they’re undermining POTUS. So he’s fighting all of them. And he’s also dealing with NATO. So the Wall Street Journal had this piece last night discussing the administration looking at punishment for NATO countries that didn’t support the U.S. response in Iran. It said that U.S. troops could be shifted towards alliance members that are actually, that have remained in the president’s good graces. So they’re considering a plan, is what I’m saying, to punish some of the members of the NATO alliance. I think there should be a penalty. There absolutely should be a penalty. You already had France that sided with Russia and China. You had France that sided with Russia and China. And then you had the leaders, I saw this this morning, We had a number of these European leaders that released a joint statement on the situation in Iran. You had France, Italy signed it as well, Germany, the UK, Canada, Romania, Denmark, Iceland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Slovakia, Greece, Spain, Norway, where there are a bunch of socialists and they’re committing seppuku up there, Finland, even Japan, along with the EU. Now, some of the reasons that some signed was because they’re just posturing. Others, they’re signing it because they just don’t like the United States. It was all signed by the leaders of these respective nations. Of this list, the only ones that I would have anything to do with are Italy and Japan. Everyone else can go pound the deepest sand in the Sahara. They don’t get a say. In fact, I think that, you know, Trump should say, you know what I would do if I were Trump? I’d say, yeah, go ahead. Let’s have tolls. I’d charge a million dollars a barrel. Go ahead. Because you know how many barrels are loaded on some of these tankers. Go ahead and charge a million dollars a barrel. I would structure the most advantageous deal possible to Iran just to bend NATO and Europe over a barrel and brutalize them viciously on the international stage and let everyone witness their shame. That’s what I would do. And then walk away because we don’t get anything out of that. That straight is meaningless to us. We just don’t like China and we want to box China out. We get it that, you know, podcasts to stand on those low-T flaccid morons have an obsession with crusty old Alexander Dugan because they’re trying to remake Bakabazi in the style of Russian communism. I get that. But still, you know, the whole point is about boxing out China. And so maybe he should do something like that, Cain. I would do that. I feel like Aldo the Apache from Inglorious Bastards. I’d take that deal. Would you take that deal? Oh, I’d take that deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s what I’m looking at. I mean, just to spite them, we don’t need it. You have a bunch of sniveling, anemic, just ridiculous little Europeans over there that live on the generosity of the United States taxpayer. We have bailed their asses out and wiped them up every single conflict. We have helped them out in the Falklands War. We’ve helped them out with Ukraine. We’ve helped them out with their own little civil conflicts. We have been there to wipe their noses and dry their tears. as we have ascended to become the dominant force on this sphere, and the thanks that we get from these questionably sentient, absolute, just, they’re nothing more, these people are nothing more than epitaphs of a lost, dead society that was better than they are, and they’ve been allowed to decay in the luxury and the legacy bought by those before them. And the only thing that we get from them is condemnation for keeping them free this entire time. And now they have the audacity to say that they don’t like how we keep them free? The hand that is fed doesn’t like how the hand feeds it? Seriously? That sounds like a them problem, not an us problem. You know, I’ve never been against NATO. But at this point, I don’t see the purpose of it because right now it’s just a waste. It’s just an absolute waste of resource and power. It’s a waste of our valuable resources here in the United States. It’s a waste of power. It’s a waste of our time. It’s all just performative nonsense at this point. That’s all it is. So they said, well, we must have a goal to negotiate a swift and lasting end to the war. Well, you know what doesn’t help with that? Cutting little side deals to get your oil and gas with Iran because you’re such a gluttonous people that you don’t even have enough reserves up. You don’t even have enough in your reserves. I don’t think that anybody in Europe should ever look down their nose at the United States again. In fact, I’m going to be snotty on steroids about it. I don’t know if you’ve seen me on X, but God help you if you’re a foreigner and you dare wade into my mentions and try to sit here and lecture me about stuff my country does. I will slice and dice you like a butcher. I’m so tired of these dumb foreigners that are trying to weigh in to United States politics. If I wanted to hear what some whore in Spain had to say, I would go to the brothel and knock on the door and have her come out disheveled and give me her opinion on politics or his opinion on politics.

SPEAKER 12 :
This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. I want to take a second to talk about something that’s personal to me. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time, and one thing I’ve always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate. As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of, but I also know what it feels like to be singled out for it. That’s why this new commercial for the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate that aired during the big game really hit home. It’s about showing up for someone when they’re targeted, even if you don’t have the perfect words. And sometimes standing next to someone is enough, and you can show support by sharing the blue square.

SPEAKER 07 :
No, that is absolutely the Cardinals baseball song. If you’re listening terrestrially, the bumper tracks, I hear it and I’m like, baseball? Immediately. It is. You can’t hear it. What is it, Wing Chun? Yeah. Yeah, you can’t hear Wing Chun and not be like, yep, that’s just saying. All right. Let’s see. Oh, but I didn’t close this thing out, which I probably did. We’re going to get into, well, we’re going to talk about this amnesty bill that’s, believe it or not, actually being co-sponsored by a Republican here. I know. We mentioned it a little bit briefly yesterday, but it’s wandering through the process in Capitol Hill, and we’re going to discuss that because it absolutely is amnesty. Also, birth control for men apparently prevents pregnancy and apparently is safe and can be reversed. Or just like paid attention to your cycles and stuff like that. I’m just saying. I don’t know how I feel about that. They said that because women do shoulder most of the, well, depending on, you know, prophylactics. But they said now apparently they’re looking for one for dudes. Let’s see. Oh, my gosh. A woman was charged with manslaughter after a man drowned during baptism. I mean, female pastors stop. No, this is why I’m slightly joking. Not really. But Robert Smith, 61, not of the care during a baptism ceremony held in Birmingham, Britain. He apparently drowned. You know, you’ve got to bring them up from the water. They can’t just stay down there in it. They’ve got to come back up. So the family is suing. Apparently it was three years ago when this happened. And they’re suing the woman who apparently was involved with baptizing him. They said negligent manslaughter because she was a pastor and apparently… That’s a first. I mean, I’ve never heard of something like that. Also, we all knew this, that Egypt was full of Christians long before Islamists came and colonized it and then sold everybody into slavery and created slavery. An ancient monastery dating to the dawn of Christianity was uncovered in an Egyptian desert. According to officials, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced that in March that the monastery had been found. In, well, part of the desert. That’s the important part. It’s a mud brick building. They found a lot of artifacts in there. We have a lot more in store. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 07 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. We’re going to get into some of this, this Dignity Act, the Dignidad Act. It has a Spanish name. We’re going to talk about that in a moment. But I saw this and this is incredibly important. So apparently this is new. Lebanon has rejected Iran negotiating on its behalf. Very interesting because, you know, we opened the show discussing the timeline and how the You had the president who came out with a statement saying that specifically there was discussing Iran and response to Iran said nothing about Lebanon. And then less than an hour later, the prime minister of Pakistan. says, oh, yes, the United States has agreed and, oh, Lebanon’s part of it. They’re part of the ceasefire. That was never agreed to or even put forward by the administration. And that was further clarified and confirmed by the White House. Cut 23. They corrected that that lie immediately. Listen.
SPEAKER 05 :
Danny.
SPEAKER 08 :
Thanks, Karen. Would President Trump like to see Lebanon included in this peace deal? As you know, there have been increased Israeli strikes on Lebanon today with dozens of casualties there.
SPEAKER 05 :
Sure. Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire. That has been relayed to all parties involved in the ceasefire. As you know, Prime Minister Netanyahu put out a statement last night in support of the ceasefire, in support of the United States’ efforts, and he’s also assured the president they’ll continue to be a helpful partner throughout the course of the next two weeks.
SPEAKER 07 :
Now, remember, If you missed this last hour, you can go back and listen to the podcast as well. Remember that with the timeline of this, POTUS came out and said, you know, I’m holding off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran. He didn’t mention Lebanon when he was talking about this. And it’s not an agreement to end hostilities. This is just a framework of an agreement to get to the negotiating table. There’s a lot of people that don’t know what the hell is going on here, and they’re trying to tell you wrong information because they don’t know what’s happening. Now, Pakistan’s prime minister less than an hour later came out and said, oh, no, the U.S. has agreed and its allies have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon. That was never part of it. So the country that that harbored Osama bin Laden. excuse me, and their prime minister, Shabazz Sharif, lied. Sharif lied. Pakistan was only involved in this to help get Iran to the negotiating table, not to broker a final agreement. That’s what Wyckoff, Kushner, and others are actually flying out to the Middle East to do right now. Pakistan was just there to bring Iran to the negotiating table. Now Sharif is acting like, no, no, no, we’re brokering this whole thing. He has mucked it all up. He came out with a lie. And then Pakistani media, Iranian media, Russia Today, the Qatari Al Jazeera, they all began running this lie because they’re trying to bully the president into compromising. And they also are trying to make it look like he doesn’t have any credibility because, look, now he’s going to pretend that Lebanon’s not included. It was never included. It was never included. And so this really kind of made a mess of things, this lie, this narrative. Iran wanted Lebanon to be involved because Hezbollah, which is in southern Lebanon, has been firing rockets. By the way, there’s more video of them loading up and firing rockets at Israel this morning. They they they want to protect Hezbollah. So Iran wants to protect its terror proxy and they’re trying to retcon all the discussions to act like it was part of the deal when it never was. And then now that’s why this is interesting. Lebanon, and this is Middle Eastern media that’s reporting this, multiple Middle Eastern media, including Al Monitor. They said Lebanon is rejecting Iran negotiating on its behalf. The prime minister of Lebanon says only Beirut handles talks. And it’s also interesting to note that the prime minister of Lebanon, Or actually, the prime minister of Lebanon came out and said that Israel was doing very targeted strikes. And if they were trying to annihilate, you know, everybody there, they would have. They’re going after Hezbollah specifically because Lebanon has a Hezbollah problem. Lebanon could do a little bit more to disarm and disable Hezbollah, but they haven’t. So this is the result. But they said, but the prime minister… Nawaf Salam said, no, no, no, negotiations are solely done by the Lebanese state. And he was saying this is only done in Beirut, that Iran has, they just pretty much threw all this back at Iran’s face. Now, how many of the people that have been promoting the lie that Lebanon was included as a way to make Trump look like a liar and cost him credibility and try to convince you to be against this response, how many of them are going to go back and correct their lies? None of them because they’re just like legacy media. In fact, legacy media at least has the FCC overseeing it, whereas these digital whores do not. Very interesting. So keep all of this on your burners, on your stovetop. Keep all of this up there because this is going to change, especially as the negotiations start progressing and we see what’s up. This is going to start changing. And I mean, at some point, maybe they’ll get an agreement. But I just don’t think that they’re going to. I don’t think that Iran is going to. I don’t think Iran is. They’re trying to wear down the United States by convincing all of their all of our European allies to stand against us. And Europe is weak and indulgent and worthless. It’s true. It’s very disappointing. Beautiful countrysides, great rich history. But what is the point of a history if there’s nothing that you’re doing in modern era that is upholding the values of that history? It’s just an epitaph at that point. So, I mean, we’ve degraded the power projection of Iran, but how it comes down to Hormuz, we’ll see. Now, a couple of other things that I want to touch on. We’ve got, oh boy, I don’t know if we’ve learned. I don’t know if we’ve learned with some of this stuff. Let’s get into this immigration issue. I mean, amnesty issue, excuse me. It is Maria Salazar’s Dignity Act, which is an amnesty act. And it’s rough because, and by the way, Byron Donalds apparently co-sponsored this bill. That’s a disappointment. Because people have been reading the bill and it is absolute amnesty. I mean, there’s no other way to discuss it. It’s just straight up amnesty. This, pull this up. It is the Dignity Act. The bill includes provisions to establish taxpayer funded regional processing centers in third world countries designed for quote-unquote family reunification. That’s under Section 1503, Screening and Processing in Western Hemisphere. Huh. Huh. Can you know what that sounds like? Sounds like amnesty. Sure does. That sounds like amnesty, 100%. It’s bad. It is really bad. And she’s getting a lot of… And she’s a Republican. I mean, she’s a Republican. I’m looking at this bill and I was going through it last night. You in fact, it grants conditional lawful permanent resident status to all illegal aliens. And this is these are the criteria who, quote, have been continuously. This is starts on page 162, continuously present in the United States since January 1st of 2021. If they entered before they turned 18. If they had, like, certain education or whatever, and if they can pass a criminal background check. How are you passing a criminal background check when you just committed a crime, injuring illegally? And Section 2102, Subsection B3, DACA recipients, DACA is the Deferred Action Childhood Arrival, they get fast-tracked for green card status. Kane, does that sound like mass amnesty to you?
SPEAKER 04 :
A little bit.
SPEAKER 07 :
But wait, there’s more. So beginning on page, hang on, do my notes. This is two, bottom of two, they’re going into 204, 204. If illegal aliens don’t qualify for the DREAM Act and they were present since December 31st, 2020, if they pay $1,000 restitution fee and they pass a background check and they don’t have any felonies, then they get a deferred removal for seven years and they’re authorized to work and travel fully throughout the United States. So what they’re saying is they call it the Dignity Act because they want to grant a dignity status. This is like Barack Obama wrote this. So they’re giving they’ve created a whole other non a whole other status that you can renew like in perpetuity and you get work and travel authorization. Right. Right. And anybody who qualifies for it, any chance that they their deportation is entirely suspended. This literally would end all mass deportations in the United States. And it is being pushed by a Republican. Maria Salazar and apparently Byron Donald’s is co-sponsoring it. I mean. So, yeah, Democrats. So, Cain, say what you just put in Slack.
SPEAKER 04 :
So Democrats let in millions upon millions of illegals and rhinos on the Republican side want to get them all butting in line in front of the people who’ve done it correctly and they’re currently waiting in line.
SPEAKER 07 :
I have a friend who has been waiting for a handful of years who works in the United States. has fulfilled all of the obligations, even returns back, like in order to satisfy the requirements of the working conditions, like you have to go back to your home country every, what is it, like every couple of months or something like that, fulfills all of that and has been waiting because they want to become an American citizen. And they have been doing, I mean, this has been like a five-year thing. Five years. And then their visa is going to be expiring soon and they’re going to have to reapply. And our friend was joking like, well, maybe I should just come over illegally. I’m like, honestly, that almost might. I mean, I’m not going to tell anybody to do that. But if I mean, this is how stupid this is. He’s been trying to do it legally this entire time. And how crazy is it that he could go back to Mexico? Go over the Rio illegally and then self-deport and then get expedited three weeks back. That’s by the way, that’s the other thing that’s happening. If you self-deport, then there’s another guy who’s already been if he’s a pastor. I can’t remember what state came back within three weeks and was immediately like like fast track. So we were joking with our friend. I mean, this is do you know how many and this is a person that we want here? He wants to create businesses and has been like really like he has a business degree and all of this stuff like really wants to add to the tech. I’m all about adding to tech space. I’m all about bringing in like valuable business. And how insane is that? And his visa is going to be expiring. So he’s going to have to go back and do it all again. And in five years, been waiting for this. And now the Republican Party, through this stupid dignity bill, they’re going to end mass deportation. And they’re going to I mean, I’ve read the damn thing. I’ve literally I’m looking at the notes that I’ve highlighted and sent to myself in a Google doc. And I have screenshots of the damn thing. That is the that’s the proposal. That is the law. I am reading verbatim from this. It is full-on amnesty, and any Republican that tells you it is not is a shameful, evil liar. Shame on them for that demonic behavior of lying to you about what’s in this bill. That is shameful. And then they have the audacity, like Maria Salazar has the audacity to start going off on people who are disagreeing with this. You have this. She was talking about this on TV. Juana has this queued up. Listen.
SPEAKER 02 :
We give them dignity. At some point in the future, another legislator will write another law. How do they not have dignity? Right now, what we need to do is to buy peace for these people, allow them to stay, to continue working.
SPEAKER 07 :
We don’t have to do anything. Because they’re needed. We don’t have to do anything. We don’t have to buy peace for these people. They could do it the correct way. the way that so many people we know have done it. Everybody that I know who has done this the right and legal way, they’re the ones who get punished basically. And then these people get the red carpet thrown out for them. Does that sound like you’re actually being welcomed to immigrants if your big thing is pretending to love immigrants? That you’re actually almost you have a punitive process for the people who you want in this country, who desperately they they understand they want to adapt to freedom. They want to assimilate into freedom. They want to be a part of the American family. Doesn’t it sound like it seems like that’s punitive? All the things that, you know, the way that we have them operate and then we just roll out the red carpet for people who come here illegally. This is a damn Republican doing it. Republicans doing it. This is, you know what, I know people are all like, but Israel, shut up. This is the big threat. You keep doing stuff like this, Republicans, you won’t have another 250 celebration. Hell, you won’t even get to 275.
SPEAKER 09 :
Are companies finally starting to stand up to AI? Certain companies are now advertising that they’re not going to use any AI-generated imagery. Could this be a brilliant idea to draw in more sales?

Florida Man was arrested because he used an AI video, apparently, to prank a deputy. The 25-year-old, he now faces charges of fabricating evidence. This is Seminole County Sheriff’s Office. They said the deputy was at Academy Sports, where this guy, his name is Alexis Arizala, 25 years old, approached him. He said, oh, people were getting into your car and doing all this stuff, and he showed them this video that was fake. The deputy checked his patrol car. Nothing was wrong. Surveillance showed nothing. Nobody had approached it. So they issued a warrant for the guy’s arrest. By the way, they found him in San Juan. He ran away to San Juan, but they got him. Now he faces charges of fabricating physical evidence, making a false report to law enforcement. Wow. Unlawful use of a two-way communication device. Dear heavens. Giving false information. Blah, blah, blah. He’s held on a $7,000 bond. Seminole County. Why would you do that? Why? Yeah. I mean, that’s so dumb. Just so dumb. A Florida man, Florida man, tourists were charged after hauling a dead alligator strapped to the roof of the car. This is like Chevy Chase family vacation vibes. You know what I mean? The guy, he’s of New York. It was in Florida. So he’s a tourist in Florida. They said, oh, we picked it up. We found it as roadkill and we wanted to have it taxidermied. So they had it on top of the car. They said, well, we didn’t. Apparently, they finally had to admit they knew it was illegal to take possession of this gator. They bonded out of jail.

This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. I want to take a second to talk about something that’s personal to me. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time, and one thing I’ve always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate. As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of. But I also know what it feels like to be singled out for it. That’s why this new commercial for the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate that aired during the big game really hit home. It’s about showing up for someone when they’re targeted, even if you don’t have the perfect words. And sometimes standing next to someone is enough. And you can show support by sharing the Blue Square.
SPEAKER 10 :

SPEAKER 12 :
Redone. Point State Park. Oh, yes. Everybody OK? We are all fine. Everyone is fine. This is such an exciting announcement that the world is falling apart.
SPEAKER 07 :
Betsy Ross is over here freaking out. So this was this was apparently Josh Shapiro. They were. They were talking about the Constitution. They were on stage, and they’re getting ready for the 250th Celebration of America. They’re announcing their concert series. Who’s he on stage with? Guys dressed up as Franklin, Betsy Ross. Oh, the other guy’s just in a suit. Okay, never mind. I was like, who’s this other feller? It’s just him. Well, because I saw the back of his head, you know what I mean? And I’m like, oh, he’s got that Ben Franklin skullet. Okay. I don’t mean that to be mean, but… Apparently, the backdrop fell down and hit Josh Shapiro or he almost got hit by the falling backdrop. There’s just something there’s something to this. I’m just saying. But interesting. Did did Kamala Harris go and cut it to Democrats? Were they back there cutting the strings on it? I’m wondering. I’m just just curious. I’m just asking for myself and a few million friends.

SPEAKER 04 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 07 :
So apparently the LAPD got hacked also. Hackers stole and leaked sensitive documents, personnel files, internal affairs investigations. et cetera. One of the people, a group who hosts the data said, blah, blah, blah. There was a group called World Leaks behind the data breach. Why can’t we do this for like all of the fraud, all of our money that’s being used for like early leering centers and all of that other stuff? I’m just, you know, I’m very curious. Why can’t we just use it for that instead of this? A mother and toddler escaped after their car plunged into the Atwa Kechi River. Can Elizabeth Warren pronounce it? I’m made of jokes right now about that. This is terrifying. You know, I watched a whole video. So I have a thing where I like to watch videos about survival techniques in very odd situations, whether it is a car in the water or falling out of an airplane or bears a bear attack. Like if you’re falling out of an airplane without a parachute, you’re pretty much screwed. But, you know, there’s like a point eight percent chance that you won’t be made. Yeah. But firefighters say mother and her young son, their car ended up submerged in this river Monday afternoon. her two-year-old son was strapped in the back seat. The mom got him out. They were holding onto the vehicle as it was floating downstream and they were able to get to shore. Thankfully, they’re okay. They’re trying to figure out what caused the crash because it was a crash. I mean, she like slid and fell and plunged into the river. That’s crazy. Yeah, okay. So here we are another, we got another instance of, you can’t be drunk on a horse in Kentucky. I thought this was America. The horse isn’t drunk. Now, if the horse is drunk, OK, but the horse isn’t drunk. The horse isn’t going to go and cause a problem. A 48 year old Kentucky man was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle that is not a motor vehicle and being under the influence in Bowling Green. So now the guys he’s he apparently also had a liquor store bag tied to the horse’s saddle.
