Dana explains how people who are telling you that the U.S. is losing have a political objective. Did Tucker Carlson’s son leak the details of a phone call between JD Vance and Netanyahu? Dana shares a flashback clip of Trump’s commentary in 1987 talking about Iran to show his consistency on the issue. A Michigan Democrat Senate candidate told campaign staffers he wanted to avoid issuing any public statement about the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei because “Dearborn is sad” over the death of the Ayatollah.

SPEAKER 13 :
I tend to think that the people who are telling you that we’re losing this, those are probably the people who also believe that in words like Latinx and also cis and all of the other, you know, I mean, they believe in made up nonsense, you know, for the lack of a better way to put it. Welcome to the program. I was reading a story on the Ukrainian anti-drone technology, which has apparently been very effective against the Iranian built drones that Russia has been using. And they’re using these in the straight now. And they have to have the jamming turned off so that they can basically take them out. And apparently that’s been going quite well. And it looks like the United States’ position in these negotiations day by day just continues to get stronger and stronger. There were a couple of tankers that had LNG that were cleared to go through the strait. They were bound for India. India’s Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry says two Indian liquefied petroleum gas carriers are en route to India after transiting the Strait of Hormuz. And Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt are also considering a consortium to manage oil flows through the Strait. They’ve invited Pakistan to join. You’re getting all of these Middle Eastern nations together against Iran and on the side of the United States. This was a bad weekend for the we’re losing people. They really have to work hard to ignore all… You know why? They don’t understand any of this. They don’t understand any of it. You’re listening to absolute morons who don’t even view reading as a hobby. These are people who have no idea what’s going on in this part of the world. I mean, very slowly, bit by bit, the Iranians are seeding transit through the strait to Trump, bit by bit by bit. That’s going to ease oil markets when it’s fully open. And it’s already started. Again, this is the United States waiting them out. This is without having to do any other type of escalation. They know Trump is going to follow through on these threats. He just wants it done and done, in and out, get it done, knock it off. And I don’t know how you can think, unless you’re a moron on geopolitical issues, there is no way you look at this and think that the United States is the weaker entity or that the United States is losing ground on this. There is zero way. It is all incredibly strong. I mean, you have, what is it, these 10 tankers that were Pakistani flagged, they were released to the straight, gifted to Americans. And then it was, I think it was the $3.2 billion worth of oil on this. This is, that’s not a position of weakness. Where are all the people that rah-rah Trump, notice how many of them all of a sudden that are in podcast to stand. Immediately start parodying the left and the left. They’re no different from the left on this. The people who say we’re losing in Iran are literally the left. They are no different from the left. Absolutely no different from the left. So, I mean, you’ve had also in the past 24 hours, you had the specialist involved in Iran’s nuclear program who was killed in strikes. So this is the other line of their, I guess, the remaining of their hardliners. You had the Brigadier General Abbas Karami. He was a commander in one and he was killed in Tehran. The guy who was involved in Iran’s nuclear program was killed in a village outside of Tehran. The bashed field commander, he was killed. Another IRGC air defense operator, he’s out. He was nixed. The guy in the ministry of defense that oversaw the military dimension of the nuke program, that guy was also nixed. I mean, more and more, you have these very, very targeted strikes to take out these IRGC, the remaining. any of the stragglers left, score patrol as it were. They’re on score patrol, let’s just put it like that. Very successful. But there are people who want you to think that we’re losing. They need you to think that we’re losing. They want to turn the tide. They are trying to usher in multipolarity a communist idea, the multipolarity that is being pushed by the likes of Tucker Carlson and all of these other people in podcastistan, it is just a different, it’s the same tactic of a different subject. It’s very similar in terms of critical race theory and DEI. That looks at everything culturally. Multipolarity is that, but in a geopolitical sphere, in the context of geopolitics. It’s the same formula. It’s about division and weakening the West. It is the same thing. Now, in the meantime, this is interesting. Lorraine had a post that got into some of this that aired or that dropped last week. I think it was Friday. And I noticed this. It was a call that had been released, which I thought was very interesting. This Call that it was the, and this was the last post, this is the top post right now over at Substack, Lorraine’s, that gets into some of this back channel stuff with this released call, right? So out of Vance’s office, let me pull this story up. It was released that he had had a phone call with Netanyahu. And the headline is J.D. Vance’s intense call with Netanyahu as he rips Israel’s prime minister for selling the idea of an easy Iran war to Trump. Now, the individual who wrote this, Philip Nito. is the exact same guy who runs all of Tucker Carlson’s. He runs Tucker Carlson’s leaked stories at Daily Mail. Neto used to be over at Daily Caller. He’s known Tucker Carlson for a long time. He’s worked with Tucker Carlson. So I think it’s very not coincidental that he ran this story. The only way for anybody to know about this story is if someone in Vance’s office directly leaked it to Neto. My thought is it’s Vance’s deputy press secretary who happens to be Tucker Carlson’s son. Now there’s a couple of ways to look at this. So it really gets into the details of Vance’s call with him. I don’t know why anyone would leak this unless it’s to further highlight the tension between Trump and Vance. Because remember, for Vance to ascend, Trump has to be politically taken down. MAGA has to be entirely destroyed for Vance to ascend. Why is that? Because MAGA will go with Trump. When Trump’s out of office, MAGA will be out of office. I don’t necessarily think I’m part of MAGA. I voted for the president three times. I had a different choice in the primary. The only reason anyone knows that is because I told them. But I call balls and strikes. Trump’s base has been very supportive and has really been supporting him through this solid decision with Iran. Now, in order for the Vance ascendancy to take place in 28, Trump has got to be, his reputation has to be in tatters. And I feel like there is a faction in the White House that is using Iran to do it. I don’t feel it. I mean, it’s pretty obvious. How does this call get released? And then there were people who then started accusing Netanyahu of planting the story, which is one of the dumbest, most mentally aborted things I can think of. It doesn’t make him look positive. Why would he leak something like this? Who does it stand to benefit that that kind of a story would leak to the press? It stands to benefit Vance more than anybody. So now you see the purpose of having Carlson’s son as his deputy press secretary. Stories like this can get leaked out. Marco Rubio has been getting a lot of attention because he is Secretary of State. There is a lot of whispering that it steps on the toes of Vance’s circle because he’s supposed to look like the heir apparent. Guys, the 2028 catfighting has already started. This is further evidence of it. This was leaked out to make it seem like Vance was just as much as involved, is as involved in all of this as Rubio is. No one ever said he wasn’t. But it is… It’s a tell. Whoever leaked this story is not really good with political opposition and they’re not really good with controlling the narratives because whenever you leak stuff like this and whenever you decide to play these sort of palace intrigue games, you’re never supposed to make your principal, the person on behalf of whom you’re operating, look as though they are sensitive to any kind of competition or that they are even watching any kind of rivals because this just exposed it. This is one of the dumbest leaks I think possible. And to leak it to somebody who’s known to just constantly take stuff from Carlson and slap their name on it and run it in Daily Mail. This is one of the worst kept secrets, by the way, in media. I know all of these people. It’s one of the worst kept secrets. Remember, I’ve written columns for Daily Mail. The folks who help bring you the program are friends at Burner Gun. I’ve told you a million times before. You’ve heard me say it a million times. I have no problem using lethal force. to protect myself or my loved ones. But I also understand that in some instances, you are denied your Second Amendment right, whether it’s by municipal restrictions, private property restrictions, and always the individuals who do this never give you the ability to defend yourself, and they never give you any kind of armed security. So this is where Berna comes in. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. No permits, no background checks. No waiting periods. That’s the thing. It’s not a gun. So it doesn’t care about dumb gun-free zones. Doesn’t care because it’s not a gun. And it’s made right here in the U.S. of A. When you compare it to stun guns, which have maybe one or two rounds, the Berna CL, the compact launcher, it’s the only one you need to look at for this purpose, has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. And so you are able to still defend yourself, still have an ability to get yourself to safety, and you’re not completely left defenseless by these ridiculous barbaric laws. And you can buy it online. They send it right to your front porch. It’s amazing. So check it out. Burna.com slash Dana. That’s B-Y-R-N-A. Burna.com slash Dana.

SPEAKER 02 :
First of all, it’s important to remember the objectives of this operation from the very beginning. We are destroying Iran’s navy. We are destroying their ability, their missile launchers by a significant percentage. We’re going to wipe out their defense industrial base, meaning their ability to make new missiles and new drones in the future. because it posed a great threat to the region. This Iran that you’re seeing now, this is Iran at its weakest point. Imagine them two years from now if they had thousands of more missiles, thousands of more missile launchers and factories to make even more. That was an unacceptable risk. It needed to be addressed and President Trump is addressing it. Now, they are making threats about controlling the Hormuz Straits in perpetuity, creating a tolling system and the like. That’s not going to be allowed to happen. And the president has a number of options available to him if he so chooses to prevent that from happening. Obviously, I’m not going to discuss what those options are, and we’re not going to discuss military tactics. The Department of War would be in charge of those things. I refer you to them, but obviously they’re not going to discuss it with you either. But there is a way forward here to achieve our objectives. We are going to achieve our objectives in a matter of weeks, not months.
SPEAKER 13 :
That is Secretary of State Marco Rubio. His office doesn’t have leaks. Interesting, isn’t it? Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. He’s speaking there about, well, you know, look, this is going to be a week’s thing, not a month’s thing. I mean, we’re simply just waiting out a few things. And we were talking about that previous hour. And this is not… I know that… There’s a faction of people that are trying to make this. They want Iran to win. These are the people that are wanting to continue the Obama-Biden doctrine as it relates to dealing with Iran. And they’re livid. And some of these people are on the right. You know, the Tucker Carlsons of the world, they very much are in line with the Obama-Biden policy. with Iran. They think, you know, there’s no issue with giving them money. There’s no issue with allowing them to enrich whatever. Let’s just do what we have to do to keep Iran happy, because apparently that projects strength. I don’t know. It sounds like weakness to me, but, you know, just, you know, asking questions. But that is very much the Obama-Biden doctrine. And I see a lot. I see some of these people who pretend to be on the right who are adopting this position. And they’re also saying, well, they’re the ones promoting this idea that we’re losing. They’re the ones that are promoting this idea that somehow the American people are turning on this. I just saw a really one of the dumbest polls. And this is, by the way, you can tell the people who migrated over to digital from cable news. You can tell who had all of their prep done for them by their producers and who didn’t. because no one looks at this pollster and sees them as anything legitimate. It is so easy to game it. It’s a survey I had. I’m not really on Twitter as much as I used to be because they did away with the ability to actually use Twitter very well. And my account’s so throttled, so I’m not really on it as much. I saw this survey go out. I’m pulling this up. I saw the survey and I thought it was very interesting, the survey, because they’re trying to argue that the administration’s response in Iran is somehow hurting us. It’s this interactive poll. It’s a YouGov poll. It’s YouGov. Oh, boy, it shows people don’t like Trump. Boy, that looks like a super scary poll, doesn’t it? Doesn’t look like a super. Oh, my goodness. Look at the margin with which these people don’t like Trump. Don’t don’t look at the crosstabs. Don’t look at that. Don’t look at it. Whatever you do. That won’t be helpful. Oh, my goodness. It’s crazy. Look at this. Let’s let’s I mean. But if you actually looked at it, yes, you’re oversampling leftists. They don’t even have their full crosstab data up, by the way. The margin of error is insane. It’s like 4%. They oversampled the left. And it’s barely 1,000 people. These are not even voters. It’s just random 1,000 people. They didn’t even survey likely voters. They didn’t survey registered voters. It’s just 1,000 people. Any Tom, Dick, and Harry. By the way, this same pollster is the exact same pollster that predicted that Kamala Harris was going to wipe the floor with Trump in 2024. Oh, by a huge margin. That’s what they predicted. That’s what this pollster predicted that. Oh, my goodness. Kamala Harris is going to wipe the floor with POTUS in 24. It’s a real thing, except it is a that was also stupid. This was they literally projected. We pull back because I saved all of this stuff. I always like to go back and look. This is a YouGov poll. They conduct they looked at a thousand people, oversampled the left, by the way. It was not even voters. It was just a thousand random people. And they said that Kamala Harris and this was back. This was one week before the 2024 election. They projected that Kamala Harris, they surveyed, they surveyed people and the survey showed that, oh, Kamala Harris had more of a greater approval than Trump. And this was October of 2024. They predicted that, oh yeah, that Kamala Harris was enjoying a double digit lead over Trump. And they also, as a result of their surveys, they projected that Kamala Harris would take 240 electoral votes and Trump would only end up with 218. That’s the same survey. except Trump got 312 electoral votes and Kamala Harris only got 226. So there are people right now that are citing the survey as though it’s gospel truth. They’re not telling you any of the crosstab data. First off, it’s a tiny sample size of random people, not even voters. They oversampled people plus five, a little over five, as to how they identify politically. And this is a survey that is so hysterically wrong. Since its inception, they have never accurately gauged who the president’s gonna be since their creation. So it’s a stupid poll. This is not even, this is not even in any way accurate, but a lot of people are trying to run with this as a way to influence Trump to act differently. And they’re warning every, you know the people who are endangering midterms? It’s the people that are out there saying that we’re losing. They’re the traitors that are gonna be endangering midterms. Oh, I’m gonna throw their language right back at them. You know the people who thought you were a traitor if you had a different primary vote? Right. Even though you voted for POTUS and the general. These are the people now that are undermining him, leaking on him. And they’re they’re regurgitating Iranian propaganda. while they’re simultaneously trying to pretend to be ombudsman for America First. It’s fascinating. But there are people out here, including people who host podcasts, that are promoting the survey as though it’s gospel truth. This is how you know people. Again, I go back to my original point. You can tell the people who had their producers prepare everything for them and the people who have always done the work in digital diligently themselves. Because no one who is in any way familiar with the history of YouGov is going to legitimately cite this as a significant find and a reason to change course. It’s just asinine. You got to be real careful what these people are selling you. And here’s the thing. Public airwaves are regulated. My radio program is regulated. Digital is not. I’m not arguing for digital to be regulated. But my point in telling you this is that people can say whatever they want without cause or concern. You have to be discerning. You have to be discerning and know that what’s trash and what isn’t. But I go back to that leak from the Daily Mail to one of Tucker Carlson’s longtime writers over at Daily Caller and then went to Daily Mail. I’m sure it’s going to make people mad that I simply observed it, but it’s still true. It’s no less true. This whole thing, this story where, oh, there was a tense phone call between Vance and Netanyahu. He’s ripping the Israeli prime minister for selling an easy war to Iran. Have you ever heard Trump? I mean, there’s so much video. There’s another video that popped up of him. And this is like, golly, like back in the 80s. This is cut six. I want you to listen to this cut of Trump talking with Barbara Walters about Iran. Apparently this is from 87. Now, remember the one that we played last week was him in 79, right after, or sorry, 80, literally months after the hostage situation kicked off. This is him in 1987, still the same consistency. Listen.
SPEAKER 04 :
because I’m running for the presidency. I’m here because I’m personally tired of seeing this great country of ours being ripped off.
SPEAKER 19 :
But as far as Trump is concerned, our allies are only part of the problem. The real culprit is Iran.
SPEAKER 04 :
Why couldn’t we go in and take over some of their oil, which is along the sea?
SPEAKER 03 :
How would you do that? Would you send in the Marines? Would you take a chance in a war? Let them have Iran. You take their oil. That’s what I… How? How? I mean, do we want a war?
SPEAKER 04 :
What do you mean we take their oil? You go in.
SPEAKER 03 :
How do we go in?
SPEAKER 04 :
You’re going to have a war by being weak.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, how do we go in? What do we do? Excuse me. You’re going to have a war. And it’s going to start in the Middle East. What if the Soviet Union said, you do this to Iran, we’re going to come in? I don’t believe they’d do it.
SPEAKER 04 :
The next time Iran attacks this country, go in and grab one of their big oil installations. And I mean grab it and keep it and get back your losses because this country has lost plenty because of Iran.
SPEAKER 13 :
Sounds pretty consistent. I feel like a lot of people who were rah-rah-ing didn’t know his history and his consistency on this issue. So the people who are criticizing him for Iran now Oh, I am going to play this guy. Do you remember in the very beginning in 2016 when I was a little concerned about 2A because he didn’t have a record on 2A? And I was called a traitor by so many people. So these folks, the same ones, are now trying to undermine his entire administration because they disagree with this. So does that, I mean, same thing applies, right? I guess they’re traitors. I’m just going by their rules and I’m going to make them play by them. Just curious. We’re not losing, despite the leaks, despite everything else. I think the leak from Daily Mail, I just think it’s interesting that it came from the office of the vice president, where the deputy press secretary is Tucker Carlson’s son, and it leaked to Tucker Carlson’s former longtime reporter at Daily Caller, who’s now at Daily Mail. I’m sure that’s a coincidence, right? Do you see what I’m saying? All of the intrigue for 28, all of the movement, the power jockeying has already started. It has already started. So with this, because this leak happened, And then you had the situation, which we’ll get into more, the situation with the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and how that was a whole, that was an op. It was trying to make Israel look bad, like they were shutting out Christians. You had a lot of people, including some of the, there were some people who were associated with TPUSA who were out here promoting this idea that, well, you know, clearly Israel hates Christians. Christians because they shut this down to Christians. The way that they worded a lot of their posts, which I saved, was that, oh, well, they blocked Christians because they don’t like them. The whole area, it’s close to Jews, too. Do you realize that one of the fragments from one of those rockets landed 1,500 feet away from the doors of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre? That was what they had closed down on Sunday because they were worried about the people going there being hurt in these cluster bombs and rockets? 1,500 feet away from the front door. No joke. Other remnants landed near the Western Wall. All of these holy sites, they closed them because they had no ability to protect the people who were going there. And the streets are so narrow, there was no way for EMS to get through there. at all in order to get anybody injured from it. And can you imagine had they just allowed everyone to go, if they allowed everyone to go and something had happened, they would be blamed for it. They’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t. But it was really evil for a lot of people who went out there and said that, oh, well, it’s Israel that closed it to Christians. They left out all this stuff. Don’t you think that’s important when forming an opinion? If you still dislike it after you get the whole facts, fine. But it is a mental abortion to come to a conclusion without all of the facts. That is what the propagandists want you to do. That’s what the legacy media wants you to do. That’s why these propagandists are no different. All of these influencers out there pushing this. And in fact, the Israeli police, they posted a photo with Cardinal Piazzabala, who also came out with a clarifying statement, saying they had a productive meeting. They’ve established a framework for Easter. And due to the reality of Iran’s rocketing of the area, they’re trying to coordinate to make sure that people are protected and that they have an ability to respond in a life or death situation. So I don’t know why people couldn’t have reached out to each other before all of this happened anyway. But the fact that you had people running to the press, the leftist press, and you had influencers amplifying it by omitting everything that I just highlighted for you, you should be very wary of these people. And remember, sometimes the bigger the cross they wear, the bigger the Pharisees they are. Patriot Mobile is the only Christian wireless provider in the nation. They’ve been backing freedom-loving causes for, what, over a decade now? When we first moved down here to Texas in 2013. It was within that same year that we started migrating over to Patriot Mobile and we have our whole family that’s on it. I have in that time, I’ve been around the world. I’ve been in the middle of the ocean. I’ve been in the North Sea. I’ve been everywhere. And I’ve never had an issue with my cell phone service. And the crazy thing is that I actually have more issues. in terms of services associated with my account than my previous cell phone provider, but I’m paying less than what I did, which is kind of nuts, but it’s just better. They also have a US-based customer service team that can help you with getting your new account set up, or if you want to switch, whatever it is. And if you’re, by the way, if you’re stuck paying off a device, because you’re in a contract, Patriot Mobile offers a full buyout to free you up. So there’s no long-term commitments. There’s no hidden fees. It’s just values-driven support. They think like you. They’re like-minded. And when you’re out there spending your hard-earned tax dollars, your hard-earned dollars on services, you want to make sure you’re working with someone who’s like-minded, and that’s Patriot Mobile. for 12 years now, top-tier service on all the best U.S. major networks, and you’re getting premium nationwide coverage, and they give you better service than your current carrier.

This is a very interesting story that came out of Michigan. And, of course, there’s the audio to go with it. A Michigan Democrat Senate candidate was caught in audio telling people that he wanted to avoid making a public statement about the death of Hominy because there were a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad. This is cut 11. Listen to this. This is little Mogadishu. Listen.
SPEAKER 16 :
So this is going to destabilize the region. I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. So I just don’t want to comment on Khomeini at all. I don’t think it’s worth even touching that.
SPEAKER 13 :
He made these comments during a campaign conference call. And this was the day after it came out that the strike took out the Ayatollah. And it’s from the Washington Free Beacon. Abdul El-Saeed, he is the left-wing Democrat Senate candidate in Michigan. And he was telling people that he wants to avoid making the statement because or take he doesn’t even want to take a public position at all. It was a private campaign strategy call that the Free Beacon somehow obtained. And he said that if reporters pressed him to take a position, he would change the subject to Trump’s relationship with Epstein. He said, quote, I’m just going to go straight to pedophilia, frankly. He said, I’ll just be like, pedophile president decides that he doesn’t like the front page news, so he decides to take us into another war, end quote. Wow, that sounds just like podcast to Stan, doesn’t it? Sounds a lot like podcast to Stan. And he said, additionally, He said, quote, I want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. So, like, I just don’t want to comment on how many at all. Like, I don’t think it’s worth even touching that, end quote. Then he adds, we should have the moral high ground here. First off, again, Trump bounced Epstein. There’s no there there. That would have been immediately out in 2016. Hell, it would have been out in 2024. People keep doing this. The people who actually are really Compromised are people like Bill Clinton, majorly Steve Bannon, who was really close with Epstein, went to all of his properties, was advising him on how to rehabilitate his image after his pedophilia, his predator conviction, and then was scheming with him on how to take POTUS down using the 25th Amendment to undermine a free and fair election because he was mad. Remember, he got bounced out of the White House because he was so eager to have his name in print that he took that reporter, Michael Wolff, through the White House and allowed him to access, you know, everybody, everything, walk around, you know, completely unguided, according to reports. And then, of course, he wrote this. insane book on the administration that they had to stop and deal with. And that was because of Bannon. And he called Trump Jr. a traitor, all of this stuff. So he was mad that he got bounced. And he was trying to figure out ways to get back at POTUS. And this was one of the things that they thought of. So just insane, insane. He’s compromised. But for this guy, this Michigan lawmaker, doesn’t that tell you everything that you need to know? It’s a sad day. There are people in Dearborn who are sad that the Ayatollah is dead? People in Dearborn, the Ayatollah who suppresses people and arrests women if they accidentally show an ankle, who shoot men in the head if they even so much as barely criticize the regime. That Ayatollah? I am amazed that it’s colonization. Dearborn has been colonized. Minnesota, Minneapolis has been colonized. So this is, they’re colonists who are choosing what to address. And he went around, the stuff that El-Sayed is saying in this call sounds like Tucker Carlson. He says, oh, this benefits only Israel. He says, they’ve captured our politicians. This is what El-Sayed says. The far left Democrat candidate for Senate in Michigan. I mean, all this stuff that he says sounds like what these influencers say. Completely. He says the president has, he picked a war overseas at the expense of everyone back home. This is not a war, number one. And people who think it is maybe should stay out of any kind of military engagement because they don’t even know basic things. This is sad. It’s a response, it’s not a war. War Powers Act has been entirely followed. But all of this other stuff, I mean, it’s identical to what you hear from Podcastistan. That’s very interesting. But this is colonization. You can’t, he doesn’t even want to address, he doesn’t want to talk about it because people are sad about the Ayatollah? A brute? Interesting, too, also this came out. The Saudi prince, Mohammed bin Salmane, Remember all of the money that Obama, Biden gave to Iran? They gave, like, apparently some of the $150 billion that they received, they didn’t rebuild a single street, even though they were saying that it was going to be used for, you know, municipal projects, things like that. They made missiles and drones. And this is what the Saudi prince was saying in an interview. And they funded Hamas. They funded Ansar Allah in Hezbollah. And they offered safe harbor to al-Qaeda. including one of Osama bin Laden’s own sons who got indoctrinated into jihadism, and apparently he was one of those included of al-Qaeda that was given safe harbor. Remember, Iran, and this gets down to the authorization of use of military force. When people say illegal this or illegal that, I think a lot of people don’t understand this 2001 order that happened. We talked about it briefly after 9-11. I don’t understand the lawmakers that are upset over this authorization of use of military force, why they haven’t done anything to clarify or change it this entire time. including the capital L libertarian ones, in office because that use of military force, that authorization, that applied to, and the language didn’t specifically name Iran, but it specifically said any entity, sovereign nation or otherwise, that helps those who carried out 9-11, that gives aid to those that carried out 9-11, that is involved in the planning or in any way gives any kind of aid or comfort to that enemy, they fall under that authorization. Now, Iran, it’s very well known. They gave al-Qaeda, not only did they give al-Qaeda safe harbor, they allowed them to create their international headquarters in Iran. They were choosing either Qatar or Iran. They chose Iran. And furthermore, they were a transit. They allowed, they had, they were a safe passage for rockets and bombs and missiles, etc., So all of the politicians that are upset that the administration has cited that authorization for response here, why didn’t they change it? They’re decades in office. They didn’t even bring this up under Obama. Why are they only now bringing it up? Don’t you find that interesting? Because I surely do. I definitely do. But the crown prince was saying that Iran offered safe harbor to Al Qaeda and that Obama was one of the worst to be in office, etc. I mean, he really was not a fan of either Biden or Obama. Very interesting. Very interesting indeed. Now, in addition to this, I have to we have to talk about this topic. An airline is being slammed after introducing a fat tax that forces overweight people to purchase two plane seats. This is Southwest. Southwest is, they’re getting a lot of criticism over this because people apparently are being forced to buy second seats on the spot or they have to miss their flight. And they said that, I don’t know what the, I don’t even know what the threshold is. Overweight flyers now say they’re being judged by Southwest under the new fat tax. They have to buy an extra seat at the gate if the staff decide they’re too big to fit into a single one. And they said that one passenger experienced the system firsthand when she was stopped at the airport going to a conference in Vegas. She was told that she had to buy a second seat or she couldn’t fly. She said that she felt profiled at the gate because of her size. and she never had to purchase two seats before she flew. She said that she used an extender. She was like, she fits in a normal seat just fine. I’m looking at a photo of her and I’m going to say I disagree with this because she is morbidly obese. I’m not, you know, she’s just morbidly obese. It’s a reality. It’s like probably affecting her health in a lot of ways. But they said that the problem with the policy is the vague wording, how it is enforced. And some say that they’re being judged on appearance. So the way that I understand it, none of this makes sense. You can purchase your ticket online, and then you get to the check-in at the airport. And then they can tell you that you have to purchase another seat. I would think that a lot of people know, and that’s not even her, the photo that Juan, you’re getting ready to show, that ain’t even her. Here, let me get you, let me get you, because this woman, I’m sorry, she is, I’m not, again, I’m not being mean, but you cannot tell me, there you go, you cannot tell me that she has, that that’s not morbidly obese. I mean, God love her, she, for her own health. But shouldn’t that also be like your own personal, you should be able to recognize, okay, this might be an issue if you can’t fit into a singular seat, if you have like mission creep into somebody else’s seat, isn’t that kind of an issue? And you would know that before you got to the airline, before you got to the airport? This is what I’m talking about. I mean, I’m not, again, but she’s morbidly obese, and I hope for her own health that she isn’t having issues, but you would kind of know, I think, because you also have to consider the other passenger with whom you’re sharing a row. They said that customers that encroach upon neighboring seats have to purchase the number of seats needed. The armrest is considered the boundary. Now, I will say, I have been on flights with people where they were very sizably large. And I do remember, and it was a flight coming back from DC and it was like at the end of the day and I was tired and I wasn’t feeling well, I had to get home. It was just work, work, work. And I remember I had a middle seat and the person who was sitting in the aisle seat, they, I wanted, I like to have the armrests down and they pulled the armrest up because they couldn’t sit between the two armrests. And I’m immediately like, that’s not fair. I have to have my, I need to be able to have an armrest. I would like to be able to sit comfortably. They could not fit next to me in their seat with both armrests down. So they had to put, they put, and they didn’t, they put the armrest that was between us up. This person was like halfway into my seat. And it was very uncomfortable. I was sitting next to, not a guy who was morbidly obese, but a large man. And two dudes, by the way. And I was just… My back hurt so bad by the time I got home. I couldn’t even work. I needed to be able to work, but I couldn’t even take my tray down because there was so much volume over to my… I’m not even joking. So it was a horrific experience. I think it’s not anyone else’s fault if you are having an issue with your personal space. So I actually don’t think that this is a bad thing. And the people who act shocked over this, who are flying Southwest, you know what the policy is. If you’re not being real with yourself about your body, that’s not anyone else’s fault but your own. And why is it that other people have to be considerate to you but you don’t have to be considerate to other people when it comes to sharing this space in a single row? You know how most makeup makes you look done but not necessarily like yourself? I get so tired of products that cover everything up and it leaves product on my skin and it makes it dry and cakey and makes you feel like you’re wearing a mask. So that’s why I tried Jones Road Beauty’s Miracle Balm. You just warm up a small amount of product with your fingertips. you tap it on your cheeks, on your lips. You can even put a little bit on your eyelids if you want for some color. And it gives you this effortless, clean girl glow instead of that heavy makeup mask. And it can also replace so many steps and products. Like think of it, highlighter, bronzer, blush, your lip tint, but it’s all in one little jar. No brushes, no 20 frillion step routine. I mean, it’s great for busy mornings or school drop off or travel. If you got like an early morning flight, you want to look nice, but not overdone. Or when you’re running around after a workout and you just want to look fresh. And the best part is that Jones Road’s formulas are clean. So they look natural and they feel like you’re wearing next to nothing. Bring out your natural glow instead of hiding it with Jones Road. And for a limited time, you’ll receive a free shimmer face oil on your first purchase when you use code Dana. So just head on over to jonesroadbeauty.com and use code Dana at checkout. And after you purchase, they’ll ask where you heard about them. And please support The Dana Show and tell them that I sent you. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. You know, I forgot to tweet on Twitter because it’s garbage that the show was on, but they decided to to take away the I’m still complaining about it. Multi column layout after they’ve let you have it this whole time and charge you $40 while they throttle the ever loving hell out of you. I’m paying $40 to get throttled. That’s so stupid. Fix your stuff. So dumb. So I didn’t even tweet that out because I totally forgot. Welcome back to the program. Like I said, Dana Lash with you. A couple of things to digest because it’s, you know, we’re kicking off Holy Week and we had Palm Sunday. We have Good Friday. We have Easter coming up as well. There was like, I guess people love making things international incidents because apparently that’s what was happening here with this whole thing as it pertains to the church in Jerusalem, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. So they’ve had… like Palm Sunday events, things like that, every Easter it’s normal, except what’s a little not normal right now is the fact that you are in a conflict and Iran has taken to launching these cluster bombs purposefully with the goal of trying to kill as many people as possible. And that’s what they’ve been doing with a lot of these sites. And that’s what they’ve been doing here too. So this church, They closed a number of areas. I mean, a lot of these historic sites in and around Jerusalem because of the fallout, the damage that you could see from these cluster bombs. Because Iran, when they’ve been, you know, what’s left of the regime, when they’ve been firing these things off, they’re doing it for the purpose of killing as many civilians as possible. That’s all they’re able to do. They’re shooting off towards other Arab nations, et cetera. So they had parts of this closed to prevent civilian casualties from any of these bombs that have been coming down, etc. So while this was happening and people were making up stories about it. They were saying, well, Israel hates Christians and that’s why they shut these areas down. And that’s not at all even remotely what’s happened. And it’s stupid that we have to take time out of our day when we could be talking about China or Islamism and address the propaganda from these digital whores who are hell bent on creating another fight like we’ve seen throughout Europe between Catholics and non-Catholics. By the way, I hate saying Catholics and Protestants. For the people who read with pictures, promo code POSO, for the people who read with pictures, not every person who is not a Catholic is a Protestant. I don’t know why this is so hard for some people to grasp, but try to this Holy Week. So there was this false narrative that emerged, you know, a false narrative like you would normally see with the mainstream media, because they’re no different, where they were accusing Christians The where they were accusing Israel and specifically Netanyahu of closing these sites down to prevent people from going and celebrating Palm Sunday. And they had this one cardinal, Piazza Bala, who apparently he and two others were going into the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and they could not. They were not allowed to because it was closed due to threat of these munition, these cluster bombs. Can you imagine? But it’s like they’re damned if they do. They’re damned if they don’t. Can you imagine if they had allowed these all of these Christians to or anybody to go there? And then you have a bomb that goes off or they get hit by rockets or whatever. And then that’s all that’s going to be blamed on them. They’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t. I made this point over the weekend. So Piazza Balla. He went to the media at first and was asking, well, why is this happening, et cetera, and a big deal was made of it. And then he had to clarify after it turned into this giant international incident. And by the way, literally just a few days earlier, there was, and it was captured on video, an Iranian ballistic missile, a fragment that hit the old city of Jerusalem. It fell 400 yards from the Western Wall. So it’s hitting this area. This is cut nine. Piazzabala clarified the controversy after a lot of controversy was raised. Listen. He was saying that it’s true that any type of meeting had been suspended in places that did not have an ability to shelter in place or did not have an ability for people to seek cover from these falling munitions. And so I don’t know why, if it was such a, I don’t know why, I don’t know if either side reached out to the other. I don’t know if the Vatican reached out to Israel or vice versa or what happened or what, but it did not need to be turned into the international incident that it was. Because then you had all these people out there running around going, well, look, this is, you know, more Catholicate, more Catholicate. Look at this. But that’s, I mean, literally just two days before, I think it was two days, they had a rocket fragment hit precisely these areas, several of them. And it did not make any sense as to why this needed to be a big, giant, dramatic thing. I mean, there was a reason why it happened. Of course, you know, when he was first out and talking with individuals, he was wearing the Gaza picnic blanket thing. I don’t know. I just it seemed like it was a PR stunt for a lot of us that are used to being burned by the press. And now we see the digital prostitutes becoming the new legacy press just as dishonest. Just they hate America just as much, but they want to dress it up in colors of the flag. So, I mean, that’s also one of the other things that was noted is the streets are so narrow. If people were hurt by these fragments, there was no way for EMS or anybody to get there. There’s no way. I don’t even know how they deal with it now. These streets are so narrow. They’re so narrow. It’s a labyrinth. If they had a mass casualty event, there would be no way that first responders would be able to go through these streets with vehicles. There is zero way. And it just seemed like, you know, if you’re a Cardinal, you’re familiar with this, you’ve done this before, you would be aware of this. Well then, after this, and I don’t know what’s happening here, why? Why does it have to be like this? And by the way, I reject criticism that the people observing drama are the people causing it. We want the drama to stop. For the people who get upset that it’s being observed, tell the people creating it to quit. So then we had the Palm Sunday remark from Pope Leo. And a lot of my very dear Catholic friends are a little dissatisfied with this Pope. And they were very dissatisfied with this remark. They didn’t feel that it reflected. And apparently he was saying it outside of the church. It was his own part, whatever. But this was just not helpful. This was cut 10, where he was talking about Palm Sunday and prayers and conflict. Listen.
SPEAKER 09 :
Brothers and sisters, this is our God, Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying, even though you make many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood.
SPEAKER 13 :
Now, I don’t know. I don’t necessarily think we needed the Trump image up there because he didn’t say Trump’s name. He didn’t say Trump and he didn’t say that he was talking about it. He was speaking generally about conflict and prayer. And if you have… you know, if you’re engaged in conflict, et cetera, if you’re instigating, et cetera, if you’re warmongering, then your prayers is something to the effect of, you know, you’re compromising the ability to have your prayers heard. It wasn’t a verbatim direct quote, but still, it just seemed to stir the pot a little bit. And my thought, my first thought was, well, please, my dude, explain the crusades to me. If engaging in conflict is bad, and by engaging in conflict, I mean responding to conflict is bad, then please explain the Crusades. I think we would like to know about that. Because responding to a terror state that has only increased hostility since 1979, a terror state that has twice tried to kill the sitting president of the United States, A terrorist state that has killed thousands of Americans. A terrorist state that kick-started its hostilities towards the United States by taking our embassy staff in Tehran hostage in 1979. That had nothing to do with Israel, by the way. That was all Iran. The continual aggression and threat. Yeah, why isn’t any of that directed towards Iran? And the godless heathens that comprise the regime who think that they’re carrying on a holy war. And everyone else tries to prosecute this politically when it’s really a religious issue. This is why people get resentful, because when the people who are being picked on respond because they’ve had enough, they’re the ones in this current society that are victimized as the bully. They’re victimized twice. They’re victimized first by the tyrants that are doing the killing and are targeting them. And then they’re victimized again by the people who seemingly stand up for the tyrants that are doing the killing and the raping and the obliterating and the pillaging, et cetera, by criticizing the way that the barbaric behavior of the tyrants is being responded to by the innocent party defending itself. That is what I don’t get. That seems to be a misdirection. Some might say it’s It’s a fallacy. It’s false. It’s a lie. But this is where the resentment builds. And I get really tired too of seeing those people in podcastistan who say that you can’t criticize this because if you criticize these remarks, then you are creating an attack upon an entire subgroup of people of faith, which is the exact same thing that the left does to dodge accountability. It’s what BLM did this entire time to dodge any kind of accountability well we can’t you can’t do this because then you’re criticizing this this whole group of people or you can’t respond to BLM you can’t respond to this activist because well This is insane to use leftist tactics as a way to deflect from this. Why is it that other people have to be considerate to you, but you don’t have to be considerate to other people when it comes to sharing this space in a single row? We’ve got a lot more on the way. Headlines and Stephen Yates is going to be joining us as we move. The folks who help bring you the program. It is our friends over at GhostBet. I just got, I don’t even think I’ve had it a week yet.

SPEAKER 13 :
So 12 tons of Kit Kat bars were stolen in a heist in Europe, says Nestle. They came out with a statement promising everyone that it’s not affecting their supply. But it was a 12 ton shipment of Kit Kat bars stolen. And so there are some say that there was a shortage. Maybe it’s just in Europe, but it was in transit. They said it was over four hundred and thirteen thousand units stolen. It disappeared while heading between production and distribution locations. So they said they’re investigating it. They are still investigating it, but they said that the missing chocolate bars could actually enter unofficial sales channels across European markets, which would be kind of a… That’s a little crazy to have your repurposed stolen candy to appear like on these other markets. It’s interesting. So in addition to this, let’s see. We also have U.S. fighter jets escorted a plane out of a no-fly zone near Mar-a-Lago. This was over the weekend. A civilian plane… Violated the no fly zone that is over Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, and it was safely escorted out of the area, says the North American Aerospace Defense Command. It violated a temporary flight restriction that is imposed when the president is at Mar-a-Lago or is in the area. And they said that. There have been no reds that there was a number of these incidents similar to this since Trump got back into the White House. But all were resolved without any kind of reports of threats, etc. So Trump is also turning to an 1884 Supreme Court ruling to limit birthright citizenship in a lawsuit against an American Indian. This is it’s a very interesting case. which, I mean, I don’t know, we’ll see how successful it is, but it’s a very endless story disappeared. So we’ll, I’m going to pull that back up because it’s gone. That link was somehow broken. Tiger Woods is facing an uncertain future on the golf course after his arrest in Florida for DUI. This, I also saw the story where Secret Service said that he is no longer, well, he’s not allowed to drive any of Trump’s grandchildren. Secret Service came out with that over the weekend as well, or at least that made its way to the press, which is true from what I understand. But Now they’re wondering, what does this mean for golf? Didn’t he do really well after his last DUI? I’m not saying he should do this, but I just thought he actually won a couple of tournaments when he’s the last time this happened.
SPEAKER 18 :
He won the Masters after he got back surgery a couple years ago.
SPEAKER 13 :
So, I mean, wouldn’t this be similar? I’m just joking. He’s not going to play this year. I know he’s not going to win the Masters this year for sure. But hopefully he gets he gets if he needs help, he gets the help that he needs. Project Hail Mary becomes Amazon’s biggest box office hit. Sorry, Amazon MGM because it’s a partnership. This passed Creed III to become the company’s highest grossing movie ever. This thing had a budget of about $200 million. But it’s not a sequel and it’s not part of any kind of existing franchise. It’s based on the sci-fi book called The Martian, which they made into a film a decade ago, but now they’ve reworked it. Ryan Gosling stars in it.

SPEAKER 08 :
You took your four kids on this trip. You’re here in Alabama now. Why was it important to you to take them on this trip to red states and learn about the history in our country? That’s a great question. Well, I don’t think, or I know for a fact, that we don’t get all of this history in our schools. And it’s part of enlivening them, building their curiosity, expanding their hearts, their empathy, so that they themselves can be the change they wish to see in the world and recognize that you know, we have work to do and that we have healing to do and so that they can be, you know, use their voices to stand up and speak out when they see pain and suffering and bullying and racism and misogyny around them. You want them to see it so that they know. I do.
SPEAKER 13 :
I’m a truth seeker. So basically she’s like, yeah, we went to Alabama and that so my kids could see racism and sexism and bullying, all those things.
