SPEAKER 17 :
That’s one of the things that I think a lot of times boys need is not just exposure to one guy. One dad. One dad, no matter how good the dad is.
SPEAKER 08 :
Dad is, he can’t be everything.
SPEAKER 17 :
He can’t be everything. And then that boy may need somebody to give the boy some perspective on the dad, right? One of the most valuable things I learned as a guy was I had a gay professor in college at a time when openly gay folks still weren’t online. who became one of my favorite professors and was a great guy and would call me out when I started saying stuff that was ignorant. You need that to show empathy and kindness. And by the way, you need that person in your friend group so that if you then have a boy who is gay or non-binary or whatever, they have somebody that they can go, okay, I’m not alone in this. So why are you gay?
SPEAKER 15 :
So Barack Obama says young boys need gay dudes in their lives. Yeah. And that interview, was that his wife’s podcast that he was on? I think so. Everybody’s doing a podcast. Kill me. It’s like everyone, I mean, the world’s going to be full of podcasts and no listeners. Welcome to the show, our radio broadcast. You can watch the radio broadcast on Channel 347, DirecTV. You can also find the chat at Rumble, X, Facebook, YouTube, all that good stuff. So what did I just hear? What did I just hear? He says that, well, they need, you know, because having a dad isn’t enough. I think having a mom and a dad is like enough. I mean, that’s, you know, that’s completely enough. You know, you don’t you don’t need anything else from that. It was so Michelle Obama and her. Is it her twin brother? It’s like her bald. I’ve never seen two siblings look more alike than Michelle and Craig Robinson. Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, her brother. I have never seen two siblings look more like in my ever-loving life. Did you Google it? I did. And? Yeah. Kane? Yeah?
SPEAKER 05 :
I have to admit, it does look like Mike. Michelle.
SPEAKER 15 :
So, her podcast is called Emo. I-M-O. In my opinion, super, super… Super original. But they had an hour long discussion about how boys need gay dudes to provide perspective. And then he talked about the gay guy that had influence on him when he was at Occidental College. Just saying. Just saying. I don’t know. It was. Didn’t he also talk about having a gay liaison when he was in college? I’m just like, I just remember there was so much stuff that was happening, like so many things that were flying around at the time. This is not going anywhere well. You know what I mean? It’s Friday. Stop it. All of you need Jesus. Anyway, he thinks that gay men help boys develop emotional awareness. What is emotional awareness? I hate these stupid buzzword phrases. I’m just like it sounds like like the Kylie Jenner thing. It’s me and my friends. We’re just like realizing things. We’re just like realizing emotions. You know, we’re like aware of them. What does that even mean? Our society is full of just stupid buzzword. All of it. Yeah, they need to develop emotional awareness and empathy in a broader perspective. That’s what they need. I don’t know. They just need a mom and a dad and to stop doing social experiments on them. Let them be kids. You know? You know, Malik Obama, Barack Obama’s brother, said that he was definitely gay in July 2023. He posted it on X. Why are you gay? He said he was absolutely, definitely. I’m just saying. I mean, here’s his brother. I don’t know. Maybe instead of saying specifically a gay dude, why can’t you just have like a man that understand like a compassionate male figure? And that could be anybody, not necessarily a gay dude. You know, being gay is not synonymous with being compassionate. There are a lot of absolute blank holes out there that are gay dudes. Marxist gay dudes are the worst. Right. Right. And then there are some that lean conservative and they’re not like that. But what it’s not synonymous with being gay is not synonymous with being compassionate. And I feel like for someone who brags about how educated he is, that’s a nuance that he would have been aware of before he decided to talk about it mistakenly for an hour on his wife’s podcast. It’s just so weird. This whole conversation is so weird. Basically, it all boils down to Barack Obama going, well, boys just need nice people in their lives. That’s it. You need to have a male and a female. That’s pretty much it. I think God had it pretty much in order when he was like, we’re going to give you a mom and a dad. That’s pretty much how it’s covered. There you go. I don’t know. A lot of people think Obama’s gay. I mean, he had kids with, unless I see evidence to the contrary, and I’m not really all that interested in it, it’s not going to make him a better president if he is or isn’t. It’s not going to make, I mean, you can’t get pretty, you cannot get any worse than what he was as a president. So you’re like, well, and he was gay. Like, well, he was already a horrible president. He ruined health care. They took health care, ripped the face off of it, defecated in the skull, put the face back on and sent it out to the world. That’s what they did with Obamacare. That’s what Obamacare is. Did you know that? Dana, why do you speak in such terms? I guess I didn’t have a gay man in my life. I don’t know. I mean, you see how goofy this is? This is so goofy. It also sounds like you need a babysitter in order to raise your child the way that the leftists want you to raise your child. It’s nanny statism. And I just also… have a major problem with anyone. If you have a problem with your family, I always think you find the solution within your family. You don’t go outside of it. Like if you’re a kid and you need, you know, parental help, you know, or you need, you know, you don’t go and seek strange gay men for influence. That sounds like it’s going to start off badly, right? It’s like, oh, we got to get this young boy some influence in his life. We need to find a nice gay man. Let’s go find him a nice gay man to get him some, you know, Steve, you’re not doing this to me right now. No, you’re not. I recommend against it. Do you?
SPEAKER 05 :
I do recommend against it, but I just want to make that public.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m just going to state. I’m not going to say it. What? No, I’m not going to talk about it. All right. It has to do. Steve, what did you say on break? Where did this go?
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, you said everybody needs a gay man in their life, and then I said what kind of gay man? There’s more than one kind.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah. And Steve was throwing up twink and then bear. And I have different directions. Yeah, I have a very interesting story and how I learned what a bear was. That’s not an animal in the woods. And it is. It’s like a burbs like Tom Hanks and the burbs. It’s kind of like that. It’s like basically in that vein. It really is. And I’m the Bruce Dern character. It was pretty much just like that. I came with the frame. I don’t really want to tell the story because there’s certain things you just don’t know if you want to risk virality with it. You know, it’s one of those situations. Are you encouraging me? Should I wait till the third hour?
SPEAKER 05 :
No, I’m saying I know it’s Friday and everything. Don’t get tempted. Okay. Okay.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, Steve brought it up and he literally said in Slack, explain your bear twink story. So there’s my story. I explained it. Are you outing me? There is a story. Huh?
SPEAKER 19 :
Are you outing me live on air?
SPEAKER 15 :
Juan and Juan just adds, I am today years old.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t think I fully learned what it is. The bear? Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s like the gay dudes that wear plaid. Oh.
SPEAKER 05 :
And they’re big. I see.
SPEAKER 15 :
They’re like more of the… Lumberjack-y? Yeah. Like if Paul Bunyan was gay.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, fuck.
SPEAKER 15 :
that would be okay that’d be a bear and I think and you could you could tell me Dana I think that the stereotype is applicable to like the hyper masculine like gays which I don’t think like being a lumberjack is hyper masculine it’s just you’re just a dude but I do think that there’s like a uniform with it oh I know there’s a uniform with it because there are literal patches that go with it and I really don’t want to explain how I learned that it’s a one of the craziest stories ever it beats the time that i got literally into a slap fight with a chimpanzee and uh the time that i got into a fight with goats i mean it’s all animals that i fought anyway so that’s it we’re just gonna leave that on the table there you go so moving on if i’m a listener i’m feeling really cheated right now do not do this Do not. Once the story’s out there, it never goes back. I didn’t do anything wrong. Sometimes you’re like, am I innocent or naive? Have you ever been in a position where you’re like, am I just that innocent or am I just super naive? It’s possible to be both.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s possible.
SPEAKER 19 :
Sounds like a Landis Morissette lyric.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, my gosh. Where she thought mistakenly that something was ironic and it was just a bad coincidence. Okay, so we got to move on here because I can’t. We can’t do this. Oh, my gosh. All right. So where do we go from here? Oh, my gosh. Audio. Somebody. Audio. So. Oh, I’m not playing the game of 14 questions with them. I still can’t believe that she is. How many times does she do this podcast? Michelle Obama. She like pitched and moaned about having to do stuff in the White House. And now she’s still doing stuff that’s like kind of White House related because she’s still talking about politics. I thought she hated this. Right. Good night. All right. So. Okay, a couple of other things that we need to hit because we got to move on here. Audio, let’s see, audio soundbite four. This is Kevin McCarthy, right? Kevin McCarthy talking about these, because we got to talk about the Epstein stuff, these Epstein files. He said Democrats never asked about them when he was House leader. Listen.
SPEAKER 16 :
Was this something the Democrats were clamoring for when you were Speaker? Never once. They never asked about it. They tried to hide from it. You know, they’ve got nothing going. It shows in the poll. They have no leader. They have no message. They have no policy. So they’re lashing at this. But what I love, even watching CNN.
SPEAKER 15 :
They didn’t they didn’t ask about it because they didn’t want it to be asked about. Let me tell you something. Here’s some of the fun stuff. If you want to learn something about the latest with Epstein, this Epstein letter. So the Wall Street Journal reporter that was behind it, per Intelligencer. also was behind the Stormy Daniels, the fake reporting about Stormy Daniels also. And Real Clear Politics broke the story just earlier about how this same reporter who wrote this story with the letter in the Wall Street Journal, this guy, his only prior reporting experience was with an entity called Maine Justice. Maine Justice is owned by Mary Jacoby, who’s married to Glenn Simpson. How do we know Glenn Simpson? Because Glenn Simpson founded and runs Fusion GPS. Fusion GPS is the entity that Hillary Clinton and the DNC, their law firm, Perkins Coie, hired to basically launder oppo through the press so that they could get a wiretap. They produced the Steele dossier that was central to the Russian collusion hoax. And Simpson and his wife also both worked for the Wall Street Journal before he launched Fusion GPS and she launched Maine Justice. So you tell me that’s not shady as all get out. I always think it’s important to be able to protect oneself. And I tell you, guns save lives. We have statistics out there every single day that highlight this. Defensive gun usage is actually over three times that of criminal usage. It’s just counted differently city by city, state by state due to existing local and municipal standards. And as a result, you get different numbers. But by and large, it’s always good to be able to protect oneself. One of the companies that makes a good product is Kel-Tec. It’s the PR57. It is a five seven chambered in five seven. It’s lighter than the other five sevens on the market. Forty percent lighter. And in fact, it has a very unique top loading design chambered in five seven. You use clips instead of actual magazines. That’s the top loading design that it incorporates that gives it a 20 plus one capacity. MSRP $3.99. Made in Florida in the United States of America because guns do save lives. Learn more at keltecweapons.com. That’s K-E-L-T-E-C, keltecweapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you.

SPEAKER 05 :
It’s time for Dana’s quick five.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right. All right. All right. So I messed up. So I got to go back to my 11 o’clock headlines here. Puerto Rico law is now criminalizing hormone therapy and gender affirming surgery for transgender for people who are pretending to be transgender under age of 21. This is huge because their bodies aren’t even developing. It’s so incredibly important that we’re not doing this hormonal abuse to people whose bodies are still developing. The governor of Puerto Rico signed a bill that prohibits his hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries. The governor is getting a lot of criticism. Jennifer Gonzalez approved the law late Wednesday. A lot of similar legislation is passed across the United States. So it applies to people younger than 21, calls for 15 years in prison for any violators, as well as a $50,000 penalty and the revocation of all licenses and permits of medical staff. Perfect. So congrats to the governor of Puerto Rico. That is huge. Also, the number of first-time homebuyers is plummeting. This is bad, bad news, and it’s bad for the U.S. economy. Data shows that the number of first time homebuyers has dropped. Younger people are feeling locked out, but they’re also not embracing it like older generations did. So it’s a one two punch. It’s not just that they’re being locked out. They’re also not pursuing homeownership in the same way that previous generations have done. So the consequences of having fewer first time homebuyers will obviously have a major negative impact on the economy. And people who make up the largest price of store during the pandemic, they came back down. But still, it hasn’t corrected that. Gen Z, though, over millennials, Gen Z at first, three out of four Gen Zers were viewing renting a home as a smarter move than buying one because apparently they don’t understand equity. So hopefully that’ll change if we have a little bit more financial literacy out there. Coca-Cola is not quite sure that they’re giving up fructose for cane sugar, but they did say that they appreciated POTUS’s enthusiasm for their product. If you put sugar in it, I may not drink code zero. Steve Miller canceled all their tour dates because of weather disasters, which is code for our tickets aren’t selling.

SPEAKER 12 :
Have you heard and do you think that he’s going to end up going to Congress? He can’t revoke complete home rule authority for D.C. without actually going to Congress first. He can’t even extend this past 30 days without going to you all first. Have you heard that that’s what he plans on doing? And if he went to Congress and said, you know what, there’s this crime emergency. We need the National Guard out there longer. We need to take over Washington, D.C. Would you grant it?
SPEAKER 16 :
No way.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, my gosh. He’s so tough. His tough meter went up. You know, whenever his heart tries to stop because of his old age, he just spits out some F-bombs and it immediately triggers a hormonal response within his person that kickstarts his heart. Yeah, kickstart my heart. Oh my gosh, I just throw myself off a roof. Welcome back to the program. These are the people that are supposed to be leading our country. This is why Cain hates old people, man. This is why old people hate older people like Chuck Schumer. I’m saying, you know. I get it. I get y’all. Man alive. Welcome back to the program. We’re at the bottom of this first hour. It’s your living, breathing Daria. So, the… Oh, man. I got to get to this. Sorry, Wandslike. Are you ever going to get out of the first segment of the first hour? I swear I will. Guys, do you remember an esteemed actor… Named Juicy Sommelier. No, it’s not a fat wine expert. It’s Juicy Sommelier. Justice for Juicy. You guys remember this? So he’s back. I know you guys are so happy because you were counting the days. Juicy Sommelier. I don’t even know how you say his name, but we’re doing it the Dave Chappelle way. No, that’s wrong. It’s wrong, Kane. He slams the Chicago police, Rahm Emanuel, as villains. And then he denies that it was a hate crime hoax. And he says he’s mounting a comeback and his story has never changed. Oh, boy. Oh, man. Now, you guys remember what happened, right? You guys remember what happened to Juicy, right? So, man, he fabricated a hate crime. He fabricated hate crime. You remember what year this was? I remember it was in… It was during winter. It was during a snowstorm in Chicago.
SPEAKER 05 :
I want to say it was 2017 into 2018, but it was 2018 into 2019, maybe?
SPEAKER 15 :
So he said that these men in Chicago beat him up, put a noose on his neck, and yelled, this is Macca country. And it was something like, Oh, what? Like happened at like in the middle of the night, essentially. Right. Happened in the middle of the night. At 2019. And it was February. No, February. Well, he was charged in February. Yeah, you’re right. January 29th. He said he went out to get a sandwich in a bad snowstorm, as one does. You know. Yeah. Three in the morning. You know, got to get them meats. I get it. So he goes out. I don’t actually. He is out in the middle of a snowstorm in downtown Chicago going to get a sandwich, right? So these dudes, he said, oh my gosh, they were yelling that I was gay and saying homophobic slurs and racial slurs. They put a noose around my neck. And remember, he took a picture of himself with a noose around his neck. Like, didn’t he take it off? And nothing was adding up. And as they were investigating, they came across these two dudes, right? So weird. These two dudes. So ultimately, Juicy paid them. go in and do this he hired these two dudes to beat him up and then pretend to do all this stuff and then he was gonna make this this big you know claim he was gonna act like a victim you know why he did this instead of took acting lessons because this is how weak people get power weak people get power by pretending to be a victim It’s a rejection of meritocracy. They want the notoriety and they want the power that comes from trying to care for and satiate a victim. And they weaponize that and they use that as leverage to make themselves more famous. This was a PR stunt for him. And so he went to the Northwestern Memorial Hospital. They released him because he’s fine. But The investigation found out that he paid these two work acquaintances from Africa who were brothers to stage the assault. Then it came. They were on CCTV at a hardware store buying the noose and that like kidnap supplies. And they wrote a check for it. They wrote a check for it. You might as well just put kidnap supplies in the memo section. And so Kim Fox was in charge and she was trying to drop the charges and do all of this stuff. And after all this came out, Smollett fired a countersuit against the city of Chicago. He said that he was the victim of mass public ridicule and harm. And the city spent they spent six figures investigating this hoax. And he said he should not have to reimburse the city for his failed PR stunt. And he said, no, he’s the victim of mass public ridicule and harm. Well, yeah, you are because you’re a lying hoaxster and you’re a racist bigot. That’s why. I mean, can you, again, the jokes that were written about this in the middle of the night in a snowstorm in Chicago. And I’m really sure people are going to be out there going, and all this stuff is just the dumbest stuff ever. Dave Chappelle’s like five minute bit on it is still the best. So anyway, where the hell has he been? Nobody knows and we don’t care. You know why we don’t care? Because he’s just not valuable to our culture. I’m sorry, but he’s not. And then he does all this stuff. He tried to just actually kickstart a race war. He tried to do that. He tried to divide his country with this stuff. And I just find that absolutely unforgivable. I really do. So he pled no contest. Well, he came out… He’s had a little bit of a rap sheet. He pled no contest to some charges back in 2007. In 2022, he was sentenced to serve 150 days in jail, etc., etc. Anyway, so he’s back. And for some reason, Variety was like, you know who we need to go interview? Let’s go interview Juicy Smalley. And so… He still maintains that he did not fake it. Dude. Dude. I know. I know. And Smollett goes, he was saying that his story is still his story. And that, quote, we’re living in a world where the higher ups, their main mission in order to do all of the underhanded things that they’re doing is to distract us with the shiny object. Wait, that’s what you were trying to do. You were trying to distract people with, like, racial claims. Literally what you were doing. I mean, you… He made it up to the nth degree. It was disgusting. So he says that my story has never changed. Well, that’s irrelevant. That just means that you can keep to a lie. That’s it. And… I don’t know. He’s trying to make a comeback. He signed a deal with some record company that nobody knows about. And he’s coming out with a dumb song that no one’s going to listen to. Actually, I think it’s already out. No. Yeah, it’s already out. Nobody cares. Yeah, it came out a few days ago. Nobody cares. He’s only doing this because he’s still chasing that fame. Right. He’s still chasing that fame. But he says that he didn’t do anything wrong. And that the judge, remember the judge told him in his case that he was someone who, quote, craved attention. And he acted like he was this big civil rights hero. Do you know that when he was a kid, fun fact, he signed and was represented by Kirk Cameron’s mom? He was in the Mighty Ducks. Isn’t that interesting? Just wanted to point that out. I find that fascinating. So I just find this so sad. I mean, no one believes that you’re a victim. You’re a Hollywood actor. You were in very successful television programs. And movies. You are the epitome of privilege. Nobody believes that you are a victim of anything. They don’t believe you’re a victim of a single thing. It’s just nonsense. He wanted to be a victim, I guess, because he wasn’t getting enough attention in his professional life. So he’s actually trying to come back. I cannot believe that Variety thinks this is the time to launch this dude. It’s just unbelievable. So juicy sommelier. That’s like a true crime story right there. Good night. Now, a couple of other things. We were talking about POTUS versus Hunter Biden, and I really want to see that happen very badly. Also on deck, the… I’m going to get into the tale of two nuns, the nuns that are being forced by the courts to provide abortions, and then the fake nun that was being trotted out by some of the woke right as like this measure of Christianity. So there was a nationwide ruling via the Beckett Fund against the religious conscious rule. It’s a federal district court rule against the Little Sisters of the Poor because they’re trying to force them to provide abortion coverage in their health care plans. It’s nuns. They’re nuns. That’s like forcing Taco Bell to sell hamburgers. They’re nuns. They kind of don’t do those things. And this is crazy. Now, these are actual nuns. They’ve been caring for the poor for 200 years. This is a 14-year court battle. It’s a 14-year court battle. They’ve been in court for 14 years trying to fight back against this effort to force them. And it was under the HHS, a federal mandate under Obamacare. that was demanding that employers, employers provide contraceptives and abortifacients and their healthcare plans because women are apparently, you know, they just can’t help themselves. We’re all just giant whores and we can’t help ourselves. We can’t go out and pay, you know, the $9 to go get birth control at target. Or Costco or something like that. So we have to make health care more expensive for everyone else by demanding that we as empowered women have to have it paid for us like kept like like concubines. I mean, that’s what this is. All these people that are arguing for government funded abortion on demand, like taxpayer funded and taxpayer funded all of this. You’re just federal concubines. That’s all you are. Don’t sit here and like wax, you know, about how you’re so empowered. No, you’re not. You have to go to Uncle Sam with your handout and ask for money that that’s what prostitutes do. At least they’re honest about it. So they’re they they won protection against the federal government in 2016. But this has been going on this entire time, the entire time. And they just will not leave them alone. This has never been about, you know, you live your life and we’ll live our life. It’s never been about that. It’s always about forcing compliance, forcing people to bend the knee, even like actual nuns. Not like the fake nuns that were on Tucker’s show, but like an actual nun. We’re going to have more on that coming up too, by the way. The people who helped bring you the program, it’s the folks over at Patriot Mobile. Look, I’m just going to tell you like this.

SPEAKER 04 :
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 11 :
There’s a lot of memes of J.D. Vance on the internet.
SPEAKER 04 :
There are.
SPEAKER 11 :
What’s your favorite meme? Or a funny joke about yourself after the Pope. There’s a lot of options to pick from these days.
SPEAKER 20 :
So my favorite meme was, and this is very inappropriate, but maybe it’s not too soon. But there was the whole thing about how I was into couches. Yep. So awkward. And right after the Pope died, did you see this one? No. There was just a meme of the Pope, Usha, and a couch. And it like took me a second to get it. And then when I got it, I was like, man, that’s pretty good. That’s pretty good. In fact, I like to think the left isn’t very good at memeing. So my hope is that a right winger came up with that because that was a very funny meme.
SPEAKER 15 :
That is kind of funny. That’s the way that you should respond to it. Not like, this is petty. Like his response versus Kristi Noem’s response is… That’s the way you got to handle that stuff. I just, it’s like when it’s funny, if it’s funny, I would have people that would make like stuff about me. And I was only offended when the person thought it was good and it was really bad. Like if it’s funny, I’ll allow it. But if it’s not funny, then I actually feel slighted. It’s worse to me than the original intent of the offense. It’s actually more offensive when it’s not funny because I’m just like, I thought that smart people were disagreeing with me. Right. smarter people i would like to think that i had a better quality troll and then it made me feel like not as worthy of better trolls and it’s just like a whole like existential crisis so i was just like that sucks like these are really they’re just not creative people so that’s funny and that’s the way that you should if it’s funny it’s funny they had so he’s in the cotswolds right And he’s out near Chadlington where Jeremy Clarkson’s – and I love Diddly Squat Farm where he’s got his farm. And you’ve got the Beckhams that live out there and Gordon Ramsey and Tony Blair and all these people. But he’s like vacationing. J.D. Vance and their family, they’re vacationing out there. I guess they have like a country house out in the Cotswolds. And – People are mad, but they don’t know what they’re mad about. And Clarkson’s been making fun of it on Instagram, showing the beautiful, quiet countryside, birds chirping. And he goes, look at this absolute mess. This is all this chaos is from J.D. Vance. The people are complaining, but there’s nothing for them to complain about. That’s what’s so amusing by this. But someone did rent a truck with one of those giant J.D. Vance memes. It’s the one reason he has a giant fat face and corkscrew curls and his big old eyes. And they put that on the side of a lorry and they’ve just been driving it around. But the problem is that the truck is so big. And bulky that it’s creating a traffic problem for people in the Cotswolds. So it’s having the opposite intended effect that they that they wanted it to have. They thought they were going to be making fun of JD fans. And now everyone’s mad at them because this truck is so big and bulky and it’s making snarling traffic in these little villages. It’s actually quite funny. our friends over at Super Beats, the Super Boreen product, which is a great product. They have it now also at Sam’s Club along with the Super Beats heart shoes.

SPEAKER 18 :
Rosie O’Donnell, she went on Chris Cuomo’s show recently. She blamed you for the fact that she’s overweight, depressed, and drunk. What do you say to that? Do you think PDS is going to ever be a guest in Five Nights at Freddy’s?
SPEAKER 14 :
I don’t know about Rosie. I watch Rosie. Rosie’s a mess. She’s a mess. But she left our country, which is a good thing, not a bad thing.
SPEAKER 15 :
She made her really mad when he said that. I don’t want her to come back. Don’t talk about her. Maybe she won’t come back. All right. Welcome back to the… What? It’s like Beetlejuice. Yeah, if you say her name, if you go into your bathroom and you close your door and you stand in front of the mirror and you say her name three times, Rosie, she’ll appear behind you and complain until you die. What happens? It’s very real. Forget Bloody Mary. It’s rude. OK, can’t say it again. Got to wait until the quota runs out. You got to wait for like an hour. I never understood that, by the way. Sidebar. Welcome back to the show. Blah, blah, blah. All the good stuff. I have a pressing issue that’s very important. How does the Beetlejuice rule work? Like, you know, can you only ever say it three times or does it expire? That’s a good question. Right.
SPEAKER 05 :
Because if you said it twice, how long do you have before it resets?
SPEAKER 15 :
Exactly.
SPEAKER 05 :
That was never answered. I don’t know. I have no clue.
SPEAKER 15 :
Huh. Huh. Well, I know someone that could find out, but how weird is that for me to just go, by the way, out of nowhere, is there a Beetlejuice rule? So anyway, all right, all right, back to the professional politics radio. Good to be with you. We’re at the top of the second hour on Monday. We’ve, yeah, no, that was POTUS on. He’s just trolling her and I think it’s fine. She’s easy to be trolled. She’s so emotional. Super emotional people are easy to manipulate. It’s so easy to manipulate emotional people because, you know, their currency right off the bat, right off the bat. You know what it is. And so she’s kind of one of those. Right. She’s one of those individuals. The POTUS was speaking with the NATO head from the White House earlier. And we’re going to cover more of that later on with Stephen Yates. Here’s a big question for you. We’re going to completely flip the table here. Because I know we’ve got other issues, but I also think that cultural issues are important as well. There is a big dust up right now with the Gaines. Chip and Joanna Gaines. I don’t know if you’ve ever been to Waco, but Waco is basically Magnolia territory. Like right when you get into the town of Waco, everything is about Magnolia territory. Here are the silos. Silo there. Good to see you. I mean, it’s Waco, Magnolia. Really, it’s just Magnolia. They’re probably going to rename it. Who knows? I mean, they own the town. They control everything in the town, basically. It’s a cutie little town. But they’ve gotten very, very famous. They had their HGTV show. And they’ve gone on to… Go leave HGTV and create their own media entity, which I think has been very successful. And there are a lot of people that are big fans of them. And I’ve been down – I’ve taken my mom down there before. And it’s – they’re very faithful people. They’re Christians. They’ve talked about their faith. And now they’re kind of in some – Hot water. And it’s not hot water the way you think it would be, right? Because they’ve previously been in trouble because they’ve been Christians. Now they’re accused of going woke because they feature a same-sex couple in their new series. It’s a series called Back to the Frontier on that new network they created, Magnolia Network series. It premiered on July 10th. And they… I guess, select the couples that are going to be the people that are going to be on the show. And they I haven’t seen it, the show, but they go to the frontier. That sounds like camping. That’s too close to camping to me. And you guys know how I feel about that. Sidebar, if you’re unfamiliar with it, we invented the house as a people. I don’t like appropriating my ancestors way of living because we have all of these new innovations. And, you know, I mean, I hate modernity, but I love electricity and hot water. So, you know, there we go. So anyway, they have a Texas couple that appear on the show with their two sons and their two men. And they’re one of the three couples. They live like 1800s homesteaders. Sidebar. Sidebar again. Sorry. There’s no social media in the 1800s. So that probably… That’s a big selling point for me. Would you like to get away from influencers selling you the exact same stuff that you can find at HomeGoods? Yes, you do. Want to get rid of… Okay. You want to get away from all the white… Okay. Let’s go be homesteaders in the 1800s. So… They they’re getting a lot of heat because they featured the same sex couple in their show is one of these three couples. Right. They’re getting a lot of heat for it. And to the point where you have the American Family Association that has Babylon B has said something about an American Family Association. There are people that are concerned because they. expected the gains to continue to upholding biblical values and make that part of what their work is. And the AFA said, quote, it’s sad and disappointing because they’ve been very influential in the evangelical community. They’ve stood firm on the sanctity of marriage, et cetera, said they’re not sure why they’ve reversed course. And the comments have been very interesting. They’ve gotten a lot of heat in the past. I don’t know for not having gay couples on their shows. Like when they were doing their house flip, like the show where they flip the houses. Apparently they had never had like a gay couple on their show and they were getting heat for that. I don’t know if this is to maybe satiate some of those criticisms. But I do think that it poses a problem for them. And here’s why. I think it poses a problem for them because first off, I don’t I think that they need to handle it better on social media. Social media is a poor place to. mitigate things number one especially of this nature because everybody’s immediately defensive because social media by entering it is a defensive place that’s why everybody’s miserable everybody only wants to show you the pretty curated side of things because everybody’s so judgmental social media is where people go especially instagram and they they they want to either uh jealously lurk or they want to flex it’s like one of the two So, that’s why I hate social media. That’s why I’m not as active on Instagram as I used to be because I just can’t. I don’t know. But they have been getting a lot of criticism from a lot of pretty influential people on the right. I think the problem that they have is when they started building their new business, when they started in this industry, they really came out very strongly as a Christian family and a Christian couple. And that’s how they promoted themselves. They talked about faith, they talked about family, family values, and their work as kind of like a mission, basically, like an extension of their ministry, so to speak. And they really leaned into that. And that’s great. The problem is, is there are certain demographics that when you lean into you can’t compromise it after you lean into it if you’re going to go the evangelical route if you’re going to go the Christian route you cannot temper it by including like a same-sex couple because a that’s not your base and and the your and it’s not your base and be it looks inconsistent and authenticity if there’s anything that we’ve learned with the advent of social media and And oversharing is that authenticity is king. People like authenticity. They are gravitating away from the highly stylized curated stuff and they just want the real thing. They want authenticity. This looks highly inauthentic. It does kind of seem like they’re doing it. And as a way to maybe insulate themselves against some of the criticisms they have received. And I’m just speculating for on my part here, because I don’t know why they would do it. I mean, there’s certain things you can be as loving as you want to. And it has nothing to do with being mean or loving, you know, a lot of Christian people. They think, well, there’s multiple different kinds of sin, and one of the reasons that people try to speak about it is because they love people and they want people to be able to join them in heaven. I remember Penn and Teller—I think it was Penn who had said, because he’s an atheist— And he had said that he actually, of all of his friends, he loves his Christian friends. And he was saying that someone asked him if he was ever annoyed that they were trying to witness to him. And he said, no, I would be mad at them and think they were inauthentic if they didn’t. Because if they really believe this and they really believe in this kind of life after death, then why wouldn’t you want someone that you care for to take part in that? And so they’re reaching out to me. So that I can experience that. And he and he had said that that was, you know, it it really he he kind of uses that as a basis to determine someone’s validity and their belief set. And I think that makes a lot of sense. And I apply that to this situation as well. And I think that Christians, especially those who have followed the Gaines’s this entire time, they have every every belief. reason and justification to question why are you doing this now? It would be one thing if they started and they came out as, what am I thinking? Not agnostic in terms of belief, but agnostic in terms of their content, what they talked about their content and the perspective through which they wanted to show you their content. And They didn’t take that route. And that’s why it feels like a 180 to so many of their base, because now it kind of seems like regardless of where you’re at, it kind of seems like they’re doing it. It would be like, you know, it would be like a gay couple all of a sudden, you know. Going back on and going the other way. It just it’s inconsistent. It doesn’t make sense, especially if you’ve built your career on this. Right. It would be like that show Queer Eye for the straight guy just having like all straight stylists or something. You know what I mean? It’s just different. Why would you why would you flip like that with your base? And I think that this is what a lot of people are asking questions on. And I’ve never met Chip and Joanna Gaines. I know his sister. And they’re the sweetest family. And I don’t think that anybody’s doing this or having this position or expressing defense of their position out of meanness or cruelty. But I do think that he’s coming across as a little bit too defensive on social media. And you got to be careful with that because social media does not allow for a lot of nuance. And when you seem overly defensive, you seem hostile and you really want to avoid that, especially as it concerns this topic. Um, and the, what I get from them is they’re saying that, you know, uh, It’s about showing love and it’s about, you know, including people, showing love or whatever. And this is the defense that he has given in a couple of different tweets. I understand the Christian criticism of it that you don’t show love by mainstreaming what? the Bible has declared to be a sin. And you don’t show love and acceptance by making someone easy in a behavior that goes against the scripture you claim to uphold. And I understand the criticisms that these individuals have. And that’s not The media misrepresenting it, and it’s not these people misrepresenting their intentions. You cannot create an entire industry based on faith and as an extension of your faith and then be seen as compromising it to the people who help build your business. That’s the real problem here. And it does seem like whenever people get to a certain point in success that that tends to happen. It is very, very hard to stand your ground. And there’s all different types of ways that people try to use to justify it. But it is a very unpopular thing to say that the Bible says what it says. And that’s what the Bible says. If people have a problem with it, they can take it up with God, not the people who are reading the Bible and just simply repeating what it says. It has nothing to do with a feeling of hatred or anything else. Again, you either believe or you don’t. You don’t get to pick and choose what parts of Scripture you want to believe and what parts of Scripture you don’t. And everybody falls short, by the way, of perfection. There’s no such thing. I mean, that’s why, you know, churches are oftentimes viewed as a spiritual hospital, so to speak. But… I don’t know what their motivation for doing this is, but it doesn’t look good. And I think they need to find a different way to address it than what they’re doing now because this is going to really hurt them, especially now with younger generations being more conservative and demanding more authenticity and consistency.

SPEAKER 05 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right. First up, man, this one headline totally distracted me and I apologize. Well, I’m just going to say it’s it’s a story from the New York Post. This is daily showers are purely performative and have no real health benefit. Did a landfill write this? Did an actual physical landfill write this? But yeah, what in the world? I don’t know. I don’t even know. But they said that, yes, you know, you don’t have to take it. They were the experts, whoever these experts are. We’re trying to say, oh, you don’t have to take them every day. You know, you don’t. It’s not really necessary. You know, maybe, you know, a few times a week. Instead, you can. Some say that you could actually spray yourself with good bacteria that neutralizes your smell making chemicals. That sounds disgusting. No, no. I haven’t heard of this. A hippie who lives in a landfill wrote that. That’s, I mean, that’s truth.
SPEAKER 05 :
Being clean, guys, is not what it’s cracked up to be.
SPEAKER 15 :
A gym, this is a, I think this is a gym in Britain. Of course it is. It’s a UK gym. They banned women from the age of 24 from working out during peak times. Like they banned. It’s a 36 year old woman reported it. They her gym banned women over the age of 24 from working out during peak hours. So the gym from 4 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday is reserved exclusively for females age 12 to 24. I have no idea why. Also, just because you go to a gym doesn’t mean every guy wants to hit on you. Get TF over yourselves. Not everybody wants to hit on you. And also, if you’re doing influencer stuff in the gym and hogging machinery, I would be absolutely one of the people who would bully you about it. Stop it. I don’t know why people are so ridiculous. So she’s leaving that gym, by the way. I didn’t even know. That’s horrible. Let’s see. Superman opened to 123 million. Also, a flight from London to Cancun landed in the U.S. after a fight broke out on board. We’re all real excited about that, I’m telling you. Sure. It’s the people over at Burnagun. I’m telling you, if you’ve got young adults that are… living on their own, maybe they’re going to college. They’re not old enough to carry a handgun, but they’re old enough to live by themselves and be targeted. You want to make sure that they’re able to defend themselves, especially if you’ve got municipal restrictions, private property, whatever. This is where the Berna gun comes in. Berna shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. There’s two versions, the SD, the most popular model. I prefer the CL because it’s more concealable. And it’s lighter, and you’re not losing any of the ability for target acquisition, any of that stuff. There’s no recoil with this at all whatsoever. And when you consider that stun guns only have one or two rounds, that Brenna CL, you got a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. Legal in all 50 states. There is no background check. There is no permit. There is no fee. And it can be shipped directly to your door. It doesn’t care about gun-free zone signs. It is accessible to everyone. And I think it is incredibly smart to diversify what you use in terms of self-defense instruments. You have different calibers. You have different blades. You need and have an option when you are entirely disarmed. But you got to be a big kid and you still got to go there. So this is where Burna Gun comes in. Visit Burna.com slash Dana. Check out the new Burna CL. B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Dana.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s clear that Sunfresh at 31st and Prospect is struggling. This is the first section people see when they come in. There’s barely any produce. A lot of the coolers and shelves around the store look the same way, empty. So shoppers have been asking us, if the store isn’t closing, then where is all the food? A rotten smell comes through the door, and anywhere you turn, you’ll see products that need to be restocked. No hot food or deli.
SPEAKER 14 :
I watch people walk in and walk out.
SPEAKER 01 :
The grocery store has received financial assistance from the city, but has been unable to keep those shelves stocked in an area that in the past has often been referred to as a food desert.
SPEAKER 14 :
Around here, a good thing don’t last too long. It will impact a lot of people and a lot of families.
SPEAKER 09 :
The city owns the Linwood Shopping Center. A non-profit operates the grocery store.
SPEAKER 15 :
What does his shirt say? I need to go back and have a freeze frame on that fella’s shirt. Juan, if you’d be so kind. The man’s shirt who said, from the gutter to the butter? What? What is that? What is that? What does that shirt mean? From the gutter to the butter, you… What does that say at the bottom? You… I don’t know. What is that?
SPEAKER 05 :
Steve was the one that told us.
SPEAKER 15 :
Steve, what’s his shirt say? Steve was like, you guys need to watch his shirt.
SPEAKER 19 :
We ran the clip. We always discussed what was the clip to run. And I was like, just pay attention to this guy’s shirt from the gutter to the butter.
SPEAKER 15 :
From the gutter to the butter.
SPEAKER 19 :
It’s like started from the bottom. Now we’re here. You’re in the gutter. Now you got the butter.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right. I kept thinking that there was going to be something. I was like, oh, I think I see butt. And I just was like, man, this is going to be one of those stories where we got it’s going to be something inappropriate. I’m just saying, like, that’s the shirt. I mean, you know, you know, they ask you in advance if you want to be on camera, you know, when they show up and do this stuff. I mean, good for him. I mean, if he made some of himself. But, you know, I’m just at least if you’re going to wear a shirt like that, don’t cover the bottom with your hands. Because then we’re going to be all doing this. Like, wait, what does this shirt say? What does that say? Because it almost looks inappropriate. And you’re on, like, you’re on TV, man. And it’s a story that’s going to go national because of what they’re talking about. I really want to know what the bot… Cain, look at… Not that I care. I don’t need people Googling it on.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, it’s actually lyrics from Old Goody Mob from 1998, back in the late 90s.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh.
SPEAKER 05 :
Got a butter.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right, there you go. Interesting. All right, so welcome… Back to the show. And that, by the way, was… Lorraine found the shirt. She did? Yeah, she did. She literally found it already a minute ago. She’s a robot. She’s like, wait, here’s the shirt right here. I got it. For purchase, if you want to… So that’s what the shirt says.
SPEAKER 05 :
From the gutta to the butta, you make the choice.
SPEAKER 15 :
Good for him. There you go. That’s hysterical. All right, so this was… What city? This is in Kansas City.
SPEAKER 05 :
Hold on, I’m ordering a shirt.
SPEAKER 15 :
Are you serious?
SPEAKER 05 :
What?
SPEAKER 15 :
You’re ordering the shirt right now. This was in Kansas City. All those store shelves were bare. Can I get a shot of the store shelves real quick? City-funded grocery store. It’s a city-funded grocery store. And I have never seen… I have never seen… That’s a store that’s, like, open. I have never seen… I have never seen shelves like that. That’s crazy. Look at that. There’s nothing in the middle. There’s nothing in the end caps. There’s nothing. There’s no fruit. There’s no onions. There’s no nothing. There’s nothing on them shelves. And it’s a city. What is it? The sun fresh. And they’re saying it’s in decline. Well, you think it’s in decline? It’s already failed. It wouldn’t even open that long, honestly. So this sun fresh market. They’re still going there, but I don’t even know what you can… I don’t even know. Is that a kumquat at the bottom?
SPEAKER 05 :
This is one of Mom Donnie’s desires for New York.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I’m getting there.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, sorry.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m getting there. They have not stocked vegetables or eggs in two weeks. Empty coolers. And they said everyone said it smells rotten when you walk in. And apparently they say it goes through ups and downs. So like within a 30-day period, like they’ll get stuff in and then it just, they don’t have anything anymore and it’s ugh. That’s what happens when you have a city-run grocery store. Who would have thought that would have happened? And you know what’s crazy is Cain said, this is literally what Ma’am Dani wants. Socialized grocery store. That’s what you get with it. It’s like the DMV of the, it’s the post office of the grocery store. It’s the, that’s what it is. By the way, Our mail, it takes, if we send something to like Kane, if I send something from here to St. Louis, it takes a month to get there. I know.
SPEAKER 1 :
I know.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s crazy. One of my kids that had her birthday this spring just got their birthday card a couple weeks ago. Not kidding. So this is like the USPS of the grocery stores. Wow. They said it smells like rotting corpses in there. Oh! How would you know what that smells like? But also, eww! Wow. Oh, that’s so bad. This is what they’re going to have in New York City. This is what they’re going to have in New York City. Well, the city runs it. So if the city runs it and it’s entirely, you know, they don’t have to be dependent upon, they don’t have to, they don’t have to ensure good customer service or anything like that because they don’t have to meet a specific standard. There’s no demand for that standard. Totally shocked. It’s already failed. When do they get more food in? I was trying to find that on social media. It doesn’t look like they’re going to get anything. I mean, food desert. We need food deserts. Or maybe you just, I don’t know, need to have an environment that grocery stores that already operate on tiny margins can actually operate in. It’s not the government’s fault. I love these people that, like it’s in downtown St. Louis. Let me just talk about downtown St. Louis. And I don’t want to hear no smack from nobody. My husband worked and he did a lot of historic renovation in St. Louis and built a studio. He got blacklisted in his industry by a bunch of jealous drug addicts who ended up… They were all Marxists. But… They ended up in St. Louis, a beautiful city like St. Louis is known as Brick City. I mean, a beautiful architecture that German wire cut brick, which is so valuable. And St. Louis made tons of it, exported it around the world. It’s incredibly valuable. People wanted they want to buy it. We lived in downtown St. Louis for a number of years because of work, homeschooled our kids. And I never understood why. The disconnect that people had. They all bitched and moaned about not having like a supermarket, supermarket downtown. You remember this, Cain. Like the closest supermarket when I lived downtown in St. Louis was I would have to go to like near the Bevo Mill area. I’d have to go down. I can’t remember what highway that is.
SPEAKER 05 :
The Schnucks. Yeah, on 9th Street. They had a Schnucks there. And then the one you’re talking about is another Schnucks down there.
SPEAKER 15 :
But it was a tiny almost like wine and cheese supermarket. It wasn’t like a full-on supermarket. Yeah, yeah. It’s where you would go if you were having some wine and cheese. Let’s maybe make some charcuterie and let’s get some hors d’oeuvres. Let’s do that. That’s the kind of store it was. There was one in Soulard that had a lot of stuff, but they’ve closed. And I used to go there and get some things. It was a tiny little market. But people complain. Well, you know why? Because supermarkets already operate on such small margins. St. Louis had an earnings tax. They had all kinds of taxes, all kinds of fees, crazy structures that you had to, you know, weave yourself through in order to even operate a business in the area. And then the property taxes, everything else, they made it so inhospitable. And I just couldn’t get over the disconnect from the people that would joyously go and vote for the individuals that put up all these barriers to creating your wonderful supermarket in the middle of the city. And then they would bitch about we can’t believe these people that said they were going to do all the stupid status stuff when they were campaigning and we voted for them are doing all this stupid status stuff. It’s like I voted for the leopards eating faces party and I can’t believe that these leopards broke into my house and they ate my face in my kitchen like they are shocked about this. It’s like, well, what did you think was going to happen? Right. You voted for this. You created this environment. It’s not a food desert. You are just a moron that votes for moronic policies and moronic status lawmakers. That’s what you do. Good night. So that’s you know, I it just blows the mind with all of this. They can’t stores can’t stay open. They’re not there just to be charitable. It is a business. People work there. There are people that work to bring it, all of these things to you. I don’t know. It’s something else. So can we just have a quick convo about why Pedro Pascal is in every single film right now? I’m tired of him. Tired of him. He did What is He in Fantastic Four, which I’m not going to go see because I like that least out of all the superhero stuff. I’m so tired of the superhero movies. There’s nothing in theaters right now that would persuade me to go see it. I don’t know. Every movie is a Pedro Pascal movie. I saw this video online where it’s like, do you want to go see a Pedro Pascal movie, a Pedro Pascal movie, or a Pedro Pascal movie? He’s in like three movies. Can we talk about 22 real quick? Audio Sun by 22. Fans are really confused. Pedro Pascal is on a press tour. His married pregnant co-star, Vanessa Kirby. She’s lovely. She looks like a lovely lady. She’s very pretty. What behavior is this? This is weird. Watch this. This is so weird.
SPEAKER 07 :
These are gorgeous. I think this is my favorite image so far. Just our hands. Yeah. That was our very first day. As long as you don’t have to see my face. Terrible confession to make in front of Gordy. Why are they so easy?
SPEAKER 15 :
Some of the best men in the world, so they don’t count. Why are they always so handsy? That’s so weird. What is up with that? And why does he come off like an infant that needs to be mothered? Right? Am I reading too much into that?
SPEAKER 05 :
No, he has admitted as such that he’s like, you know, codependent. Matter of fact, I know I saved this somewhere. Let me see if I can find it.
SPEAKER 15 :
What do you mean? He’s admitted that he’s codependent?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. Juan, this is it here. I don’t know if you have a chance to drop this. I’m going to drop this in right here.
SPEAKER 15 :
So he needs to act like a freak on his press tour?
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s exactly what he admits in this clip. I’m like… So he understands where his insecurities are, and he’s, I guess, just being open and honest about it. And these people that are with him, I guess, on these movie tours are willing to accommodate his emotional illness. Let’s listen to what he has to say here. He’s like a dude I can’t stand.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’m already like judging his vibe. I’m using my discernment.
SPEAKER 15 :
And he’s a guy that I could I would not get along with. I can tell that immediately. I don’t he needs to be mommied. And he’s I don’t know. I just think that’s all weird. That’s all weird. Not only is he all over the theaters, I don’t like him because of what he did to Gina Carano and how he was real silent about all of that because he has a brother who’s trans. And then he like said something pretty nasty about people who were questioning like women’s women, men and women’s sports, etc. He just seems like nasty. And he’s so eager to kiss the backside of whatever Hollywood executive will give him his next role. He comes across as like is like a desperate fame whore. That’s what he seems like.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I noticed that. And he’s very touchy, handsy-feely.
SPEAKER 15 :
I would punch him in his face.
SPEAKER 05 :
I just put in Slack this video of when, I guess it was Willem Dafoe was getting his Hollywood star of fame here. Love Willem Dafoe. And he actually, Pedro Pascal touches Willem Dafoe’s wife on the chin lovingly. And then Willem Dafoe scolds him for this.
SPEAKER 15 :
I want to watch this. So here’s Willem Dafoe standing up. Pedro Pascal, too. Pedro Pascal’s wearing clown pants. He touches it. Oh, yeah, I see it. Willem Dafoe immediately gets it. I don’t like that. I don’t like people who are handsy like that. I’ve come across some of those people. And like you’ll see them and they’ll try to give you a hug and then they want to like hug you a little longer. And I’m like, you know, I’m being civil, but I’m also giving you a warning sign because you’re going to get kicked in the Franken beans. I just don’t like that. I don’t like that stuff. It’s weird. It’s weird to me. And she’s married. It’s weird. Is that I mean, I’m not trying to read too much into it. But also like when you display it out there on a publicity tour, you invite that. Just be a little bit more self-aware. I just can’t stand him. Also, I really don’t like him. I we were in school. I bully him. I think. i don’t like him i don’t know he just seems to he’s a pick me girl it’s his life mission to make bad decisions it’s time for florida man oh boy so uh a couple of different stories here first up oh by the way the chucky cheese dude that we told you about well the guy dresses chucky cheese you know how they they uh arrested the Chuck E. Cheese Mouse. Anyway, so he was arrested for credit card fraud. Apparently a lot of it. So I found another story. Actually, it was just filed. I mean, literally it was filed like 10 minutes ago. He got arrested for credit card fraud. So remember, we were like, oh, he’s got these felonies that he was arrested for. And they never actually said what they were, which made me think he’s got bodies in basements. No, it’s credit card fraud. So I needed to update you with that. A Florida man drove to a rival insurance agency and threw Molotov cocktails at it. Yeah, well, he drove his Toyota over to the Una Vista agency in Lake Wales, Florida, attacked it and threw Molotov cocktails because the rival agency moved in too close to the competition. Are you serious? That’s how you… What year do you think this is, my dude? Yeah, he threw a ton of Molotov cocktails in it. They tracked him down because guess what? He was caught on surveillance footage. and and he did it and then went to work and they went right to his work and arrested him after they they checked his car’s registration it went to a low it belonged to a local lab testing company and he worked there and uh yeah so they found him at work great job guy you’re so smart you’re so smart uh let’s see oh i don’t want to read okay i don’t like iguanas i mean i they’re pests but also they have feelings too tastes like chicken uh florida mayor was arrested after he he didn’t just kill an iguana he tortured it to death he allowed his dog to chase it and then he brutally killed it so he’s facing a half dozen charges on this sorry that’s the auto thing he’s uh oh my gosh shut up He’s facing a half dozen charges because he tortured it. It’s a $5,000 bond. So he let his dog chase it, and then he picked it up by its tail and then started slamming it against a rock and then a sidewalk and all kinds of stuff. And everybody – he did this in front of witnesses. So, yeah, you can’t do stuff like that. That’s just – you’re a psycho. Stop it. Just quit. A couple of other ones. A – Apparently, everybody left their baby in a bar or a baby in the car while they went to a bar. A Florida couple was arrested. They left their baby alone in a running car while they went to go drink at a bar. Flaker County. Oh, my gosh. You know how hot it was, how hot it is outside and how humid it is outside there. They were arrested. Child felony, child neglect without great bodily harm. And they apparently he went and checked out. The dad went and checked once on the baby in the vehicle. before going back inside and drinking. They just said it was an infant. They didn’t say the age. The baby’s okay. And then a teen mother was arrested because she left her baby inside a hot car so she could go watch a Smurfs. 18-year-old woman in Florida. The child was flushed and crying. It was 107 degrees in there. They rescued the baby. The mom went to jail. Good night. Stick with us. Third hour on the way. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of this third hour. We got a lot of stuff to get into. We got TSA stuff to hit. We got immigration stuff to hit with the ambushes. Can I just get this out of the way? Because it’s like summer. You’re supposed to have summer blockbusters that come out, right? Oh, by the way, real quick. Chats at Rumble. You can stream also the radio program channel 347 Direct TV. Okay, anyway. Isn’t this the time that for the summer blockbuster? I had to explain to my kids what blockbuster meant. Blockbuster is like when, isn’t that when they stood around the theater, like lines around the theater, like everybody wanted to go in and see the film. And so it was a blockbuster because they were lined up around the block. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Has, I don’t know, has there really been one? Like I watched the last Mission Impossible and that was great. And I went and watched Ballerina. And then I watched it again. I’ve seen it twice. It’s fabulous. And I appreciate it. I told you how she’s not like a woke Mary Sue. It’s like Linda Hamilton type, Ripley type female, like a heroine. And I want to get back to those days. I don’t really know if there is one. I think they were wanting Superman to be like the next one. And it’s not going to happen. Are you done with superhero movies, Cain?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, pretty much. There’s so many. I think they’ve extended it. They went even into the anti-hero portion of it. And I think they’ve exhausted that, too.
SPEAKER 15 :
Like, I see it advertised. I’m like, damn, not you again. You know, I just saw you. Go away.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well… Well, if you look at the statistics of the highest grossing movies so far in just 2025, it’s Lilo and Stitch is like number two.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, after the… horribleness with Snow White and everything I don’t know I don’t know why people decided let’s do this with Superman let’s have Superman be woke I don’t know y’all but it’s getting absolutely savaged in some early reviews and I think it really does it deserves it so James Gunn is directing this film. He was Guardians of the Galaxy. James Gunn had his own problem. Let me just give you some insight a little, some little bit of time ago. He got fired because he had some really nasty posts on Twitter. And this was back in like 2018. He, I don’t even know if I can read some of what he said about, I don’t think I actually can. It’s like like he said. Oh, how do I how do I just really inappropriate stuff? He had one tweet where he talked about boys. And another tweet where he was mocking like literally rape, like saying, oh, the best thing about rape is when you’re not being raped anymore. Like he actually tweeted that out. I don’t know. And he had a bunch of these. So he had said, you know, my words at the time totally failed and unfortunate. I was trying to be provocative and I failed, blah, blah, blah. And he was like, I’m so, you know, I take full responsibility, whatever, whatever, whatever. And remember, they were firing. They were going to fire him off of Guardians of the Galaxy and everybody like pitched in and they were all defending him. All the actors, everybody, even Chris Pratt, everybody’s defending him. So he was kind of quiet for the most part, just doing his job. And then he’s behind the camera for Superman. And it’s supposed to be out when? July 11th, I think, is when it comes out. And it’s woke, apparently. Apparently even more so than Snow White. Well, how is that possible? So he’s decided to make the story about immigration. He said, quote, well, let’s go ahead and hear what he has to say. This is audio soundbite 11 million. Go ahead and play this.
SPEAKER 03 :
It is exactly what the movie is about. I think that like we support immigration. Our people, you know, we love our immigrants. We love. Yes. Superman is an immigrant. And yes, this is his brother. Is this not his brother, Sean, that we support in this country, our immigrants. And if you don’t like that, then you’re not American people.
SPEAKER 15 :
So that was his brother. But he also said, quote, he did an interview with the times of London. He said that Superman is the story of America, an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country. And it says it’s a story that for me says basic human kindness is a value and something that we have lost. OK, well, I don’t I don’t know if he’s read the room when you look at polling on this issue. Especially, I mean, when you’re looking at Democrats and you’re looking at Republicans, people have no problem with immigration. It’s illegal immigration that they have a problem with. And whenever you have Hollywood celebrities or politicians that pay lip service to this issue, no one cares enough about the issue, apparently, to offer that nuance, to provide that distinction when discussing it, which then I think they do that on purpose as bait. So that they can say, look how mad you are talking about immigration. No, you’re conflating two separate things, legal immigration and illegal immigration. They’re two entirely separate things. And you’re conflating both of them. And so that’s what we’re seeing here. I really don’t want to go see it. I don’t even know who… I mean, the majority of the country feels this way about immigration. And I don’t understand… Why you would make a movie that intimates that if you don’t support their vision, then you’re somehow… Yeah, a bigot. I wasn’t going to go see this movie just because I’m like, I’m so tired. I don’t like Superman. I’m not a big DC guy, right? I mean, I’m not a very big Superman fan. And I get it that, how was it put, that Superman is essentially… almost kind of a mockery of humanity because he has to pretend to be weaker and lame in order to fit in with everybody else, right? And has to hide who he really is. It’s really like an exposition on humanity. But I just, I don’t know. I’ve never been in, I don’t know. I’ve never been into it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Even as a kid, I find it hard to believe that just a pair of glasses somehow keeps him from being noticed as Superman. Okay.
SPEAKER 15 :
Can I interject on that? Not to interrupt you. I’m going to let you. So I’ve been to events and if I have my hair pulled back, nobody has no idea who I am.
SPEAKER 05 :
Seriously?
SPEAKER 15 :
Nobody has any idea. What? Yep.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 15 :
Nobody has any idea. It’s hysterical.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know. But I didn’t, I’ve never, even as a kid, I’m like, this makes absolutely no sense. How do you not know that’s not Superman? It’s Clark Kent. Sure. But does he not lower his glasses once? Like, can you not?
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, there he is.
SPEAKER 05 :
There he is. You look just like like none of that ever.
SPEAKER 15 :
I went. I will never forget. I went to an event somewhere. I was supposed to speak at the event and I got there the evening before and they were doing some kind of reception and I had my hair pulled back. You know, I was going to style my hair for the next day and they weren’t going to let me in because they had no idea who I was. And it was the keynote and it was hysterical. And then I was like, wait a minute, it’s me. And I undid my hair and they were like, oh, my gosh. I swear to you this happened. And I have always been endlessly amused by this. And then I thought maybe I should be a spy. Maybe I could have been a spy if I could just like, you know, hide my appearance that easily. Maybe I’m in the wrong line of work. I don’t know. So that’s not the only one apparently that they’re having problems with the Superman reboot. I mean, first off, I just think that you’re you’re immediately running afoul of the majority of the country and how they view this issue. But apparently where’s this other story? So apparently they also have the issue of what one is this Pixar? Let me pull this up. So this is Toy Story from what I understand. It’s Disney, so are you shocked? So fans are upset because Disney got woke. And they said that it’s supposed to be Disney and Pixar. They left fans in a panic. It’s the fifth one. This is the fifth one, really? And it is a snap. If I can pull this up, which I’m having a little difficulty doing. They said that, I guess, like Jesse the Cowgirl or something is missing in this story. I don’t know. I don’t care. It’s a damn kids animated movie. Why are we making anything woke? Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head are out. No Potato Heads. Buzz and Woody are back. Let’s see. And I guess people are mad because it’s a binary. I don’t know. Kane. Didn’t some of those voice actors die?
SPEAKER 05 :
Probably.
SPEAKER 15 :
Maybe that’s why they’re not coming back.
SPEAKER 05 :
Probably. I still am upset at the fact they can’t originate something new. They can’t create something new. Why are we always redoing stuff? That’s literally everything.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s not what makes people mad when they redo those. I saw a thing on streaming services where it was Anne Boleyn And it was a black actress playing Anne Boleyn. Which, okay, then have a blonde Norwegian play Mulan. I don’t care. If that’s what you’re going to do, then go ahead and do that. Let’s go ahead and completely remake Black Panther and make it all pasty, pale, white, blonde people. Right? Go ahead. Let’s just go ahead. I mean… Also, we just need more original content. I mean there’s so many great stories from so many different corners of the globe. Like why are we rehashing the same stupid stuff over and over and over again? I just – it’s so frustrating at this point. So I – I don’t know. I’m not going to go – I probably – I don’t even know when I’m going to go back – To the theater to see another movie. I’ve seen everything I want to see.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t suspect it’s going to stay in the theaters very long. If they’re not going to get the revenue from it and they see that it’s just fallen off a cliff immediately, they may pull it themselves. Like Snow White.
SPEAKER 15 :
Didn’t that get a theatrical release and it came and went? Yeah, exactly. Now it’s gone.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’ll be on Netflix.
SPEAKER 15 :
Lorraine goes, to be fair, Superman is an undocumented alien. Lorraine, he’s a Martian. He is literally like from space. Now, if someone shoots to Earth in a rocket from space for the purpose of studying him, I’m going to let him cook, okay? Let him go.
SPEAKER 05 :
She’s right. I haven’t seen any Superman.
SPEAKER 15 :
What in the world is Chat talking about? That’s what they’re coming up with.
SPEAKER 05 :
I haven’t seen any Superman paperwork. She’s probably right. He’s undocumented.
SPEAKER 15 :
I haven’t seen any Superman paperwork. It’s Clark Kent. I’m an American named Clark Kent. That’s what it is. I don’t know. He’s an alien. That’s like saying, are we really doing this? That’s like saying Predator is a movie about undocumented immigrants. Are we really doing that? Because let’s take it to the full and final. The Predator was also from space. The Predator was a movie about undocumented immigrants, Kane. Look at all these ignorant people that were fighting him and being rude.
SPEAKER 05 :
The Predator didn’t have any paperwork either.
SPEAKER 15 :
So mean. He didn’t. Did he have special Predator paperwork? No. Did he have a special Predator light? No. He was an undocumented immigrant, Kane.
SPEAKER 05 :
Alien. Alien.
SPEAKER 15 :
Whatever.
SPEAKER 05 :
Undocumented alien.
SPEAKER 15 :
Literally an alien. Or what about the actual alien? Well, they were in space. Aliens, aliens. The xenomorphs were in space. I have no idea how I know that. But they were in space. But you know what I mean? Just saying. What is it? What was the one that Richard Dreyfuss presented? He made the Mashed Potato Mountain. Close Encounters.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes, yes, yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
That was a movie about undocumented aliens. They were just snatching people up to be friendly. Like, how dare you? You see what I mean? Like, this is so stupid. It’s a movie about a guy who flies with a cape and he wears an adult onesie. Okay? Stop trying to be like, it’s a movie about immigrants. Just shut up and make a stupid movie, one of a million, about your superhero dude. Stop trying to make this about a political issue and sucking the joy of life out of everything that we know. Just quit. Please.
SPEAKER 05 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 15 :
I need a karaoke Zeppelin for the rest of the show. I’m telling you, I’m such a… Then I gotta tell you about my soft serve thing that I got. We’re just so weird here today. I have no idea what’s happening. All right, so first up. Oh, Poland has reintroduced border control, border controls with Germany. Now, remember, let’s go back like a year real quick. When you had different European Union nations that were freaking out over the absolute deluge of people coming in from North Africa, etc. And they were going into Germany and Germany was like, we’re not going to respect borders. We’re just go ahead. You’re part of the EU. We’re just going to let everyone filter through. So Poland has reintroduced border controls with Germany in a crackdown. Their president said it’s a polls first agenda and they are not messing around. Carol Nowrocki ran on the slogan of polling first, polls first and defeated the more liberal candidate. And now they’re taking a very, very tough approach, similar to what Italy has been doing on immigration. So very interesting. A man’s in custody after he made a bomb threat on a plane that was leaving St. Petersburg and Clearwater International Airport. Yeah, you can’t do that, right? Have you ever watched Meet the Parents? Because you can’t even say the word bomb, bomb, bomb. You can’t even do it. You can, but not like that. 27-year-old Taj Taylor told another passenger that his laptop was a bomb during the flight. Clearly, they didn’t watch Key and Peele either because that passenger immediately went and told one of the airline attendants. I mean, you would, right? You would be like, this guy’s got a bomb. This is like really crazy. And they were getting ready to take off. Guy’s 27 years old, told the passenger his laptop was a bomb. And like I’m just saying, I really.
SPEAKER 16 :
We’re going to Drax and Elm. Scouts.
SPEAKER 15 :
They’re not talking about no Terry Bradshaw or no Terry Klaus. You know, I’m just saying, you know, you got to track them clowns. A man setting off fireworks. This is in Boston. Killed himself. I mean, I was just telling the show. Congratulations. Everybody got here with all their fingers and toes intact. Seven-year-old Robert Spagnuolo. Well, he was apparently killed by a firework Friday night, according to Channel 10 Boston. It was a fireworks incident, and it was Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office. They confirmed it, and they said that he was identified, and it was directly involving fireworks. They didn’t say, like, what. They didn’t say if it was, you know, a rum and candle or what it was. Yeah, it was a big one. You’ve got to be careful out there. I do not want to talk about the eel one. Can we just not? Okay. Are you going to meet me? No, you don’t have to. You don’t have to. You can read it. Share this one. This is yours. No, I triple dog dare you. All right.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, scientists have found, doctors have found a live eel swimming in a man’s abdominal cavity. It was in him. Swimming around in the abdominal cavity.
SPEAKER 15 :
You’re welcome. Okay. This is so gross. The world’s largest time capsule. I love how that was just the story. Opened in Nebraska 50 years later. Do we know what’s in it? Probably Cornhusker stuff. I don’t know what’s in it. No, they just said it was the world’s largest. They had pet rocks, artwork, a teal suit, Chevy Vega, all that good stuff. It’s already tough when you’re flying, right? You’re on an aluminum tube and you’re in the sky. And I just get real antsy when I’m in, feel like I’m being held captive with a bunch of people. I don’t even know how I’m going to do a cruise later. the academic thing with MRC going up to Norway. I mean, it’s not like I can scale up the size of a fjord to get away or anything. But being on a plane, like, where else are you going to go? Like, open the door and fall to the ground? Like, where else are you going to go? Hide in the bathroom? Hide in the lavatory? So I get it. When it’s time to get off the plane, people want to get off, especially if you have connecting flights. That can be tricky. Or if you got to use the loo because using the restroom on the plane is probably one of the nastiest things ever next to riding the subway in New York. It’s horrible. They’re always so bad. Like you got to use it first and then just give it up. Then you just give it to God after that because that’s, you know, only he can help after that point. So I get it. You want to get off the plane, right? But I think there’s like ways to be polite about it. But also people don’t want to be polite in today’s society for whatever reason. It feels like there’s less of it. I think there’s less of it because people are tired of putting up with stuff. They’re just tired. People are just tired. There’s too much. There’s too much happening. So Audio Sunbite 17, this is at Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood International Airport. This woman… went on a tirade because she was getting criticized by passengers for getting up and moving forward to get off the plane before the passengers in front of her were able to get off. Now, I don’t know how all of this kicked off because, you know, it’s always, we have all of these, it’s like Bigfoot. We have phones and all these video recording things, but, you know, nobody gets Bigfoot. So I don’t know exactly how bad it got to get to this point, but Audio Sunbite 17, this is what happened. I want to wake up the people in front of me to get up.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s how we do it.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh my God, you’re all whining for no reason. That’s where you go.
SPEAKER 19 :
Let the people go.
SPEAKER 07 :
Just get up the way you want to. You’re just a Karen and that’s just the way it is.
SPEAKER 09 :
Just deal with it, people. My God. Why don’t you all shut up? It’s not affecting any of you.
SPEAKER 15 :
You guys are so funny. You’re the Karens about it because you’re the ones who are making noise. I’m sorry, do you have my permission to record me? Yep, because you’ve never said one. I can tell you have. Yes, I can. That guy wouldn’t even do nothing. He just sit back there and she gets eaten. Don’t put your finger on me. No, you’re not gonna insult someone because of an accent. We’re not doing that. Don’t put your finger on me.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay? This is a low IQ review.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, it is.
SPEAKER 19 :
You ain’t gonna change this.
SPEAKER 15 :
I love when they say ain’t and they talk about low IQ.
SPEAKER 10 :
I use aids and I’m in a doctoral program. Oh my gosh. That’s a big deal. I’m a lawyer. I don’t say ain’t. You’re racist. I’m a doctor.
SPEAKER 02 :
I’m sorry, but everybody on this plane is insufferable. They’re all horrible. Everyone is horrible.
SPEAKER 15 :
If I was the pilot, I would have dove it into the ocean. gone doing mankind a favor oh my gosh where to even start she was trying to get off that she wanted to get off the plane before every I’ve been I’ve seen that before most most of the time people are nice the only time that I ever said anything on a plane when people were trying to rush forward was actually my oldest son was with me. Can’t remember where we were going, but there was an elderly lady who was right across the aisle from us. And she was like really elderly and apparently like talked to her a little bit. She, her husband had passed earlier that year. She was going to see her sister whose children had placed her sister in a nursing facility. So I’m already like, my heart is already hurting for this lady. Right. And we helped her put her suitcase up and helped her get situated because she had she wasn’t she didn’t have mobility issues, but she was like 80 something. She was very she’s still an independent lady, sharp as a tack. And she had every right to fly. But, you know, just have a little consideration. Right. So when the plane landed and everyone’s getting up and my son was actually making sure she got up and had her tote bag. There was a younger woman and then people just started coming forward. And one woman literally pushed past her to get to the front and almost knocked this woman on the other two passengers in the seat. And then everyone else, it was like, they saw this one lady going up and I’m, you know, I’m like immediately trying to help this elderly lady because the flight attendants were in the front. They’re opening the door. They’re not right there in your section. And I’m like, this woman is going to get trampled. And all these people came up. So I got up and I was like, can you please wait? You know, I’m still trying to literally get her up from the aisle. And this was probably like. in 2009 2010 and they kept pushing so finally I lost my cool and I did yell at people I was like can you guys just chill the hell out for five seconds I’m like we’re all going to the same place I’m like can I let her get up first because she got knocked down by one of you and I was so mad that they didn’t even notice that this woman was literally knocked over in the aisle and And I made sure she got out before us. So if they were going to like try to run her down again, at least they would, they would hit me and my child first, but you know, getting off the plane and she, she was just slow getting up. She wasn’t like slow walking. It was just, you know, she’s 80 something. And I was just like, and I think the people realized what happened and they saw her kind of trying to get out. Because when you fall in between those aisles, you know how hard that is to get if you’re not 80s. It’s like hard to get up anyway because you’re on your stuff. You can’t move this. You can’t get up. It’s awkward. And I think they realized, oh, my gosh, we got to chill. We knocked this little lady down. And then they were fine after that. But I literally did have to yell at people. That’s the only time I ever did. Otherwise, I just don’t care. I’m not in a rush to get off the plane. I always whenever we have connecting flights, there’s only been one time that it’s been close because there were not there was nothing else. But I always give myself tons of time if I had a connecting flight somewhere. A, I avoid connecting flights. But if I have to take one, I always give myself tons of time. And not everybody can prepare that, you know, plan that far in advance, but just try. But I mean, what is it going to save you a couple of minutes to rush forward? If that doesn’t make any sense. But the problem with this is that I don’t know if she had a connecting flight. I don’t know. She could have been a heck of a lot nicer. And everybody else could have been. But she didn’t say, Cain, at any point that she had a connecting flight that she had to get to or anything like that. She was just like, you know, whatever. I mean, why, lady, why?
SPEAKER 05 :
If I had a connecting flight, I would say, yeah, all right, you guys, you got me. But, you know, I have a connecting flight, so that’s why I got up here.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I’ve been on planes where they’re like, if you don’t have a connecting flight, can you let other people go forward? And it’s like, I don’t have an issue. I’m not in a rush to get off the plane. And my husband likes to get off the plane as soon as possible. But I’m like, ah, chill. We don’t got to be in a rush. It’s all good. It’s all good. Clearly, some people got places they got to be. Just let it go. It doesn’t really bug me. But what bugs me is like when I see older people like that lady, I don’t know if I’ve ever been that mad in public in a long time, like ever. I was so mad for her. I just could not believe that someone just like powered through and just, I mean, literally knocked her in between the seats. Like she was butt up and her, I mean, almost like a downward dog position. They knocked her in that seat and it was really awkward for her to get up. And the other seatmate passengers, the other passengers in her row were trying to help her. I’m trying to help her. But everybody on that plane was just, Not helping the situation. Not helping the situation. Clearly she felt entitled. She was snotty. You know, the point where it went really downhills where the other lady was like, I’m in a doctorate program. Oh my gosh, nobody cares. Just stop. Stop. Don’t engage with stupid because stupid loves it. And stupid feeds off it. You do not have to. I always tell everybody, you do not have to attend every fight to which you are invited. You do not have to. Just let it, some people just need to show their backsides. Let them do it. But it just got, and I’m like, there’s kids on this flight. I felt bad for the one dude who was just sitting there eating snacks. Did you see him? He was the only guy who would not bother in his soul on this flight. He’s sitting there just eating his snacks and she turns around and starts at him. I was like, that poor man. He’s eating his snacks. Probably eating them plain, whatever, the plain trail mix. Do they even offer it to the people with peanut allergies get upset? I don’t know. The whole thing is just just too much.
SPEAKER 05 :
That dude was my spirit animal. Right. I’m the same way with people are in a rush and they just let them go. If you’re in the plane and you’re not in a rush to get off the plane, having three or four more people in front of you as you’re herded off the plane through the jet bridge is not you’re not.
SPEAKER 15 :
You’re not going to get a special award.
SPEAKER 05 :
You’re not getting.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, they’re not going to be at the end of the thing. Like, you were the first stop. Here’s a million dollars. You guys are losers because you didn’t get off the plane first. No one’s doing that. There’s not those types of rewards.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, I’m not 20th in line. I’m 15th.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m a better person. Put that on my tombstone first off the plane. But it just, yeah. And I don’t like being in crowds where you’re jostling like that. I don’t. Oh, man, I can’t stand it. So I will totally just chill. Let them let it let them go by and then do what I got to do. Right. And because I already have I pack light anyway. I already have all my stuff. I only ever do carry on. So it’s like one one and I’m out. But there are a lot of nice people that they’ll see you because if you don’t go, then it’s like the current of people just. And then you just, you know, you just sit there until the whole plane gets off. But every now and then there are people nice enough that are like, oh my gosh, go ahead and go. Like you’re sitting here ready to go. I’m just not going to like fight with people to get off the plane because I don’t have that much patience in life. So I like to reserve it. You know what I mean? For like the times that it would really would matter, right? Like picking up an elderly woman who gets knocked over in the aisle. That’s, you know, things like that. But this, I see things like this and it makes me not want to fly. I already don’t like it. But I don’t know what I’m going to do on this cruise, guys. I don’t even know. I was looking at the boat, the boat ship. I don’t know. I literally, all everything I know about getting on boats is from lakes, fishing, canoes, and then having a power, little power boat, like in the Exumas and going, you know, driving around that. And I know how to, I know ties. I know how to navigate. I know how to read nautical maps because there was no way I was taking my family out in the open ocean without ever being able to do that. Cause insane. But we’re on a big boat and came, we’re going to be in the fjords, which is basically like, There’s no ground. It’s just you look around and it’s water and rocks. That’s it. Sheer cliffs that goats couldn’t even get on. Like a goat couldn’t even, like one of those weird ones couldn’t even get up there.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s not a carnival cruise you’re going on. No, no. I think you’ll be okay. I don’t know. I think you’ll be all right.
SPEAKER 15 :
All I’m worried about like food poisoning and everybody having diarrhea and like.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, God.
SPEAKER 05 :
I mean, I guess those are valid concerns.
SPEAKER 15 :
Or, like, what if, oh my gosh, I don’t know, what if the boat, what if there’s a drunk captain? That happened. You guys remember that story? What if there’s a drunk captain and they hit something and we capsize in a fjord and then a Loch Ness monster from Scotland eats us? I don’t know.
SPEAKER 05 :
Before he capsizes, you just drink with him so that he’s not drinking as much. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m just, it’s real, I don’t know how this is going to work. So, yeah, we’ll see. So, oh boy, this just in. All new. This is all new news. Yeah, that’s right. New news. So… Angela Paxton, who is a Texas state senator, posted, quote, today, after 30 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds. I believe marriage is a sacred covenant. I have earnestly pursued reconciliation. But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children or kin to remain in the marriage. I move forward with complete confidence that God is always working everything together for the good of those who love him and who are called according to his purpose. Now, Angela Paxton, she said Ken, that is Ken Paxton’s wife. He is the AG of Texas, and he is running against John Cornyn in the primary for that Senate seat. Wow. I also heard that apparently Cornyn was at the White House visiting with POTUS and at the White House, I guess, trying to get the White House involved in this race, which I always thought POTUS had a good relationship with Ken Paxton. I can’t see them siding up next to Cornyn right now, but all very man alive, very interesting. So what do you mean recent discoveries? What? Dude, I don’t know.
SPEAKER 05 :
Could she be getting fed false information? Or do you suspect this is accurate stuff?
SPEAKER 15 :
I have heard stuff before about… I don’t like to get into people’s marriages and personal businesses. I don’t know. People in Texas gossip more than anybody else I’ve ever… In Missouri politics, they gossip. But in Texas, it’s like an art form. It is a whole new level, and I have heard a lot of stuff, and I’m not repeating any of it because I have no idea whether or not it’s valid, but I’ve heard a lot of things. So I don’t know. She was accusing him of adultery, and that’s according to KUT and a couple of other sources. And they said that they, in her filing, it was apparently in the petition she was accusing him of adultery and said that they had stopped living together in June of last year. Wow. So what does that mean for that Senate race? Because Cornyn may not be the quickest, but his operatives are. So, man, that’s going to get real spicy real fast. Yeah. So we’ll see how that goes. That’s very… And she’s going to, regardless of what is happening in their situation, they’re going to go at her because they’re going to look at her as helping Cornyn. So… All right. We’ll have more on that tomorrow. I’ll have something up at Substack coming up that kind of looks at the lay of the land on that. Today in Stupidity, Cain.
SPEAKER 05 :
It looks like Michelle Obama and Juliette Louis-Dreyfus. Oh, God. She’s insufferable. They’re claiming that, man, life is difficult. Difficult life for American women. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 08 :
Women, we have so many landmines and barriers and don’ts and limitations. It’s, you know, I mean, Craig, you’re the guy at the table, but I think it’s important for all guys listening, especially men raising daughters, to realize that.
SPEAKER 05 :
This is what Michelle’s pushing these days in her IMO podcast.
