In this episode of It Takes Energy, we delve into a range of heated topics. From a fiery debate on the eligibility of candidates in New York’s political scene to a detailed analysis on the indispensable role of natural gas in energy security, this episode leaves no stone unturned. Listen to spirited discussions on the ongoing shifts within political parties, the challenges faced by metropolitans, and the peculiar stories that lighten the mood amidst serious discourse.
Welcome to It Takes Energy, presented by Energy Transfer, where we talk all things oil and natural gas. Oil and gas drive our economy, ensure our country’s security, and open pathways to brighter futures. When it comes to meeting the world’s energy needs, more is better. What we mean is our world needs a wide range of energy sources to meet our increasing needs. Just wind or solar won’t get us there, as the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow. With our growing population and the increasing use of energy-demanding technologies like AI, reliability is key. And the reliability of natural gas is unmatched by wind and solar. That doesn’t mean we all can’t work together, but natural gas is vital to ensuring we meet our energy needs. Look around, and you’ll see the essential role oil and gas plays in our lives. Our world needs oil and gas, and people rely on us to deliver it. To learn more, visit energytransfer.com.
SPEAKER 13 :
I think that everybody who voted for this election This foreigner to be that, yeah, and I’m going to say it because he’s a foreigner. I don’t think that you should, I don’t think that you, I think you need to be born in the United States to hold elected office. And if people get mad about it, I don’t care. I have major issues with this guy. He literally just got citizenship seven years ago. He’s a nepo baby, and he’s now going to be taken over the mayoral office. Can you believe Eric Adams is considered the great hope against him? He beat out Andrew Cuomo in their little ranked voting primary thingy-ding last night. I know. You knew it was going to end that way. You knew it was going to. I think for that high up, I think, yes, you need to demonstrate you have to have citizenship. I think you have to be an American citizen, like a full on United States born in America citizen. We are at this point right now. Oh, but Dana, that’s so mean. That’s so weird because every other country does it. And I don’t hear those people wringing their hands at every other country, but it’s just a great way to kill the United States. I’m so tired of it. So tired of it. So that’s some of the latest. So all the people in New York that voted for him, I think they should be barred from leaving New York. I think they should be forcibly kept in New York. Everybody who voted for the socialist D-bag should be forced to stay in New York. I don’t want them to come into Texas. I don’t want to see them go into Florida. I mean, I don’t know if you’ve seen some of the betting odds with this stuff. But they’re talking about how the yes, it’s going to become a complete communist insanity, like ridiculousness up there. That’s that’s where they’re going for. That’s what’s going to happen. So he beat he’s like ahead of in a lot of the polling. This Zoran Mamdani, he’s ahead of even Eric Adams. Curtis Sewell runs every election and never wins. God love him. He runs all the time. I don’t even know why. This is not like anything else. New York is done. New York is gone. New York is going to be London. New York is going to be Paris. It’s dead. New York is a dead city. It is a city that is nothing more than a tombstone to former America greatness. That’s it. All of the slogans are merely epitaphs etched on the stone. That’s all it is. It is nothing else. Literally nothing else. It is a dead city. It is done. Get out while you can. But I don’t want you in Texas. And I don’t want to see you go to Florida. Go somewhere else. This is the way it is. I mean, can you imagine voting for that? So this is all the latest. We’re going to talk about the decline, the end of New York. New York City’s dead. And how weird is it that how many years, 20-something years after 9-11 came, you have a jihadist socialist, a socialist jihadi that’s now the mayor of New York? Oh, that’s absolutely accurate. It is so damn accurate to say that. He absolutely is. Then we’ve got this story because we were talking about this assessment of the nuclear sites. Who in the world in this administration is leaking? Who the hell in this administration is leaking the stuff? I think that’s a fair question to ask. It says you early U.S. Intel assessments suggest strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites. I don’t know if you saw some of that last night. You saw that headline came. I don’t believe that, by the way. You know why I don’t believe it? Because Mossad had eyes on this place for like two years. You’re telling me that they had eyes. They were able to smuggle in explosive drones and an explosive drone base. They were able to do all of this stuff. You’re telling me they were able to do all of this stuff. And yet they didn’t have eyes on the facility that they were staking out and they were watching and they couldn’t see whether or not anybody was moving stuff in or out of it. So not only is someone leaking this stuff, but there are morons on top of it. I feel like they should be dragged behind a truck on a gravel road. These people that are leaking like this, that’s just asinine. It’s just this doesn’t help anything. It doesn’t help anything. So this piece from it’s a couple of places. It’s not just political. It’s not just Axios. It’s also CNN. POTUS was saying, oh, well, this is, you know, a low confidence report. It’s it’s preliminary. I don’t even think it’s a low confidence report. This is the one where I’m like, yeah, I don’t believe the leaks, guys. I don’t believe it. And the reason I don’t believe it is because you cannot have Mossad doing what Mossad does and then also simultaneously, oh, the place that we have eyes on that we were bombing, golly, I guess they just got out when we blinked. No one believes that. I don’t believe it. Do you believe it? I don’t believe it. I think this is designed purposefully to hurt anything that they’re doing over there. First and foremost, it’s designed to hurt. And they said that the enriched uranium not being destroyed. Oh, the centrifuges are largely. I don’t believe any of this. I mean, I don’t even know what to believe anymore because everything is such a poonado. And, you know, you have grifters on the right, grifters on the left. The people on the right are just as bad as legacy press. You can’t trust a single damn thing that they put out. Oh, I’m going to go and pose with a binder about Epstein’s list and a bunch of grifty, thirsty ass influencers pose up. Look at us with our binders. Notice not a single one of them had a breaking story about it because there was nothing in it. But they lied just like the legacy press lies. They’re all liars, the same as all the legacy press. You can’t trust anybody. No one wants to ask questions. People have forgotten largely that their role is being antagonistic towards their government, not being a simp to it. They’ve largely forgotten their role in demanding answers from our government and demanding answers as to why we’re getting these conflicting reports coming out from these agencies. Press secretary said in a statement late last night that the assessment was flat out wrong. And she added that it was classified as top secret, but it still got leaked anyway by an anonymous low-level loser in the intel community. That was her direct quote. That means clearly someone was trying to hurt POTUS with it. And with something like this, because it’s a NATSEC issue, because it’s a NATSEC issue, I think that person needs to be found and hung up off the tallest building. That’s me. I’m so tired of this stuff. Who isn’t? I mean, there are people that are within these agencies that are desperately trying to get the administration to turn on itself and fight tooth and nail. So we’re going to talk more about these leaks coming up because it’s coming from somewhere. And it has a specific purpose. You know, the only people that that helps is the mullahs. The only people that that kind of stuff helps is the mullahs. That’s it. So where are these priorities in these agencies? That angers me almost more than anything else to see these reports coming out like this. Just asinine. And then lighthearted. Because we came in with all fire and brimstone. You guys want to hear something funny? All right. So you heard about the Diet Coke button, right? In the Oval Office. So apparently the vice president was sitting in the Oval Office across the desk from the president. They were talking about, you know, they were talking about some different policies, different, you know, foreign countries, etc. Apparently POTUS The vice president just witnessed POTUS in a tense diplomatic call in the Oval Office. And POTUS was arguing with this unnamed foreign leader. And then he put the foreign leader on mute, per the VP. Looked over at VP Vance and said, this is not going very well. And then he pressed the red button. And Vance said his eyes got really big and he goes, Mr. President, what just happened? Trump looked at Vance and said, nuclear. And then somebody came in with a Diet Coke. And that’s when Vance realized Trump looked at Vance and said it wasn’t nuclear. It was just a Diet Coke button. So for like a moment, Vance lost like five years off his life just from that. That’s actually hysterical. That is one of the funniest things I’ve heard in quite some time. So even when he’s like arguing with people, he still has, you know, he’s got some good humor. I appreciate that. Although, I don’t know. Considering my mood like today and dealing with these, if I had to deal with Emmanuel Macron on a regular basis, I think I would press the button. And it would not be an accident that it was not the Diet Coke button. Just got to say. Why not? Telling you. By the way, here’s an infuriating story. Lorraine brought this to my attention last night. How fun for us. Do you know that we’re still paying most of USAID? What? Yeah. Yeah. We’re still paying most of USAID. Oh, of course we are. You guys knew this, right? Everybody knew it? We’re still paying most of it. Yeah. There was a story, and it’s the New York Times that every now and then gets it right. because they do have a couple of people over there that actually can write, and they’re interested in certain things, you know, the truth being one of them. The headline, I’m going to make sure that you guys get it without the paywall, because I don’t like, I hate when people put stories about our national security that involve our tax dollars behind paywalls and try to grift off of it. But it was how much of the AID money still remains. What remains after that USAID money? A lot, in fact. An actual lot remains from it. And we’re still paying for it. Remember this while they argue over the big, beautiful bill, whatever, in the Senate right now. So far, all of these things are still in. Most of them are still in effect. We’re going to talk more about this here coming up. So let’s be real. Medical freedom isn’t just a catchphrase. It’s your right.

SPEAKER 14 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 13 :
All right, first up, a Norwegian tourist is barred from entering the United States. This is a fake story because they said that they found a meme showing that J.D. Vance had a bald head on his phone. He’s an admitted drug user. That’s why he was disallowed. Next headline, big balls no longer works for the U.S. government. Well, it’s true. That guy lied. He was a drug user. That’s why. It had nothing to do with his stupid meme. Yeah. Big Balls no longer works for the U.S. government. The technologist Edward Corzatine, who is a key operative in the so-called Doge, he has resigned. I mean, I would, too, because the nation was just… People were ignorant to him. He got a full-time employment status at the GSA last month, according to Wired, and they had his Google Workspace account. That is no longer active, according to a source with knowledge. Doesn’t his name isn’t anywhere. I could sit here and run down with all the lists, the places where his name doesn’t appear and it doesn’t appear in any of those places because he resigned, which means that he does no longer appears on White House contracts. He no longer appears on the list of current Doge employees. He no longer appears on federal payroll. He no longer appears on Google workspace. He no longer appears in the list of GSA. You know why? Because he resigned. So that’s why he no longer appears on all these places. Let’s see. Four out of ten Americans are thinking twice about traveling, particularly overseas, due to safety fears. Thanks, unfettered, to complete total illegal immigration. No one’s safe anymore. I wouldn’t go to Paris if you paid me. I have no desire to go to a city that looks beautiful but probably smells like wretch and urine, and you’re probably going to be attacked by somebody who came in on a boat. It’s true. People can get mad about it all they want to, and then they can go KISS, my backside. at kissmybackside.com. It’s a great new mail service and those people are welcome to go and check it out and send me correspondence there. Condo owners have woken up to the grim reality that their homes are worthless after a law change. In Florida, they’re having kind of a bottom out also because why would you want to live in a condo in a hurricane area? Must be DeSantis’ fault that he created the state of Florida and put it right there in the path of hurricanes. Blame him for the hurricanes, too. Why not? Sunshine State retirees, they flock there for affordable condos. They now find themselves stuck with these properties that are worth basically nothing. and they are desperate to escape. And HOA fees, mandatory repairs, it’s like bringing them up to a stricter code, are all running people out of that market. We’ve got a lot more on the way, including China has a new mosquito-sized drone, and Ma’am Danny wins the primary in New York. The folks that help bring you the program, It’s the folks over at Burn a Gun. I am always going to tell you to carry a gun and throw lead in defense of your life and in defense of your loved ones. I think there are certain situations, though, where you have to be creative in your response, because I would love to say that I only go where guns are allowed. But you know what? I got to be a big girl and put my big girl britches on sometimes because I got to go and earn a living for my family. Right. You do, too. And you have to deal with municipal restrictions, private property restrictions. and college students who aren’t old enough to carry a handgun, but yet still have to live on their own and be at the mercy of whatever idiotic restrictions are in their municipality, et cetera. They don’t want to be made sitting ducks. This is where I think the burner gun can come in as a way to diversify your weapons away array and still give you the ability to protect yourself. It’s like it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. Now there’s two versions. They have rifles in that, but for the purpose of self-defense in these restricted areas, I would suggest that you look at the Berna CL or the SD. The SD is their most popular model. The CL, which is new, is the SD but smaller. It is 38 percent smaller than the SD. Everything made right here in the U.S. of A. And instead of like, you know, one or two rounds with stun guns, et cetera, then you actually have five with the Berna gun. And it’s easy to conceal. There’s no recoil. Easy target acquisition. But here’s the other thing. Legal in all 50 states. No background checks. No permits. They ship it. No waiting period. They ship it right to your door. And it does not care about gun-free zones. That’s the key. So visit Burna.com slash Dana and get your hands on the new Burna CL. B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Dana. Burna is ready when you are.

SPEAKER 23 :
But tonight was not our night. Tonight was Assemblyman Mondani’s night and he put together a great campaign and he touched young people and inspired them and moved them and got them to come out and vote. And he really ran a highly impactful campaign. I called him, I congratulated him, I applaud him sincerely for his effort, and let’s give him a round of applause.
SPEAKER 13 :
I mean, I wouldn’t applaud him, but okay. That’s Cuomo, whose comeback was just ruined. He’s done politically. You cannot tell me that Andrew Cuomo isn’t done. Of all the races this guy should have won, it should have been this one. He’s finished. I mean, don’t you think so, Kane? I don’t know why the hell he thought he could come back from killing all the mole people.
SPEAKER 14 :
Is he qualified to run as an independent by any chance?
SPEAKER 13 :
They’re never independents don’t win in New York. They’ve never an independent has never won. They never win in New York. It never happens. So he’s finished. I don’t know what else he can do. And clearly the Democrat Party is not. Well, it’s not the Democrat Party that it used to be, that’s for sure. It’s it’s I mean, they’re full on Marxist now. I don’t think anybody would debate that. They’re full-on Marxists. And that’s just all there is to it. That’s the way the party is now. The party has changed. In New York, of all places. Right? And I just don’t know how else. What are they going to do? I mean, have you seen some of the stuff that this dude wants to implement? I mean, you can say, well, it’s New York. It doesn’t affect us. You’re actually incorrect. And also, it’s just the symbolism of it all, right? The imagery, the symbolism of it all that I think is incredibly impactful. So welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the bottom of this first hour. So he wins this primary and this ma’am damby. What does this mean for Democrats across the country? I… I think that it’s indicative of this major pull to the left, this repositioning of the party. I don’t know if you guys have looked at their – have you guys actually looked at their platform lately, Democrats’ platform? So they – hey, guys, it’s indistinguishable from Marxism. I mean at first – let me put it like this. Like previously, the Democrat Party would have – I don’t know, like, you know, they would they would they’d be squishy on life. You know, you used to have some pro-life Democrats and you would have some pro-gun Second Amendment, you know, Democrats like back in the day. And a lot of it was I mean, the great. push was it was economic policy that was the big divide between democrats and republicans it back in the day was economic policy and some domestic issues like uh you know dealing with uh you know the size and scope of government in terms of what it should be doing at the federal level and what should be left to the states there were things that democrats and republicans clearly disagreed on but then there were a number of things that were that they were on the kind of the same page with so they didn’t seem as crazy as they do now and then over the past like 40 years they’ve turned into this indistinguishable from Karl Marx’s monstrous entity that has no idea where money comes from and they don’t understand the basic structure of the economy and they don’t understand cause and effect and they don’t understand the market pool and they don’t understand inflation and they don’t understand wages and market demand and all of these other things. They don’t see how the ecosystem of the economy operates because they’re not in it. They’re all these trust fund socialists. All of them are. Like AOC, when she was saying on Twitter the other day, she was saying, well, I’m a Brooklyn girl and we eat Queens boys for whatever, lunch or breakfast. I can’t remember what she said. She grew up in Westchester. So I have a friend who went to the school that AOC went to. And my friend is in New York and comes from a very wealthy family in New York. and they work in real estate. And that’s all I’m gonna say. And that person went to the same school that AOC did. And they were there similar around the similar within this like same eight year period. And my friend was telling me this is a predominantly white affluent area. And for her to cosplay and pretend that she’s from Brooklyn is a joke or a Bronx girl. She’s from the Bronx and her to pretend that she’s from the Bronx is a joke. This is the tweet that AOC had. Yeah. And she was taught. Actually, this was in defense of Mandami. I’m going to say his name however I want. She’s like, yeah, I’m a Bronx girl. We can eat Queens boys for breakfast respectfully. Like, what does that even mean? You’re not a Bronx girl. You’re a Westchester girl. Like you grew up with boutiques and Starbucks is. That’s how you grew up. You’re not a Bronx girl. But this is like my point about bringing this up with the left is that they cosplay working class. This ma’am Danny dude, he cosplays as working class. He is from a very wealthy – he’s from very wealthy parents. And his mother worked in film. His father is a bougie professor at Columbia. He never, ever, ever in his life worked a job. How do you go from never working a job to you’re now mayor of New York? How does it happen? Or you’re going to be mayor of New York. I mean, he’s probably going to win over Eric Adams in the race. I would be shocked at this point. How is that possible? How and what does that say about voters? You are a moron if you’re voting for someone who’s never worked a day in their life. If you are choosing as you’re elected a full someone who has literally never held a job, I’m not exaggerating, guys. He has literally never worked a day in his life. He’s done like some advocacy stuff. And that’s it. That his parents have gotten him. Everything that he’s ever had has been from his parents. And that’s fine and good if you’re parents and you want to provide for your children. But it’s not good if one of those kids thinks that he’s entitled to the mayoral seat of the one of the biggest, if not the biggest city in the United States, one of the biggest cities in the world. What does it say about the voters? What in the world does that say about voters that they would choose someone like that? We are not the same. I think it shows that there’s a major divide in the psyche, in the hearts and minds of voters on the right and left in this country. There is no way that I could ever vote for someone who is that far left. I mean, I can’t even believe that we’re here. Say I have my friends going. Eric Adams is the last hope for New York. Can you just realize that for a moment? Let that hit you in the head for a second. I’m not… That’s because he’s running as… He’s challenging. He’s going up against… He’s indeed going up against Ma’am Danny. My friend Dave Burge asks this because, you know, one of the policy proposals that Ma’am Demi has is that he wants city-owned grocery stores. My friend goes, instead of spending time and millions of taxpayer dollars to build government grocery stores, why not just cut out the middleman and legalize all shoplifting? He should be mayor. He should be the mayor of New York. That’s basically what it is. Just legalize shoplifting. I think that’s a great point. Why have government stores and why force taxpayers to subsidize food for everyone? Just legalize shoplifting. It’s the same thing. You’re just taking out the middleman. That’s the taxpayer. Just let everybody. I mean, they kind of do that anyway, don’t they? In Los Angeles, they do that. And they actually I want demoted is not the right word, but for the absence of the correct one, they demoted a lot of these higher up classifications of shoplifting down to like basic misdemeanors or nothingness. You know how usually there had to be a monetary value in order for it to be considered class A, B, C, whatever, or a felony? They have done away with all of that in Los Angeles. So in some places, they’ve already started this. They’ve already started making this happen. This is crazy. Craziness. So in addition to this, now you start to see… You know, you’re you’re seeing why things are the I mean, how it’s as insane as it is. And it’s reflective in everything from law and order. It’s it’s reflected in medicine. Politics now is infected every single aspect of everything. So that’s the other reason why it matters. This New York thing matters because now. It’s going to be this is I think more of the far left people are going to be attracted to this guy and attracted to far left causes that make no monetary or logical or mathematical sense at all whatsoever. Speaking of the law and order, Carmelo Anthony was indicted by a grand jury for first degree murder of Austin Metcalf. He could face a possible sentence anywhere to 599 years or life in prison because of his age. He’s going to be ineligible for capital punishment. which I think is asinine, but there we, you know, where we are. Yes, he murdered someone. This guy, if you look at the eyewitness accounts and you also look at the accounts from his school and the days leading up to all of this, this guy was bringing knives to school. Carmelo Anthony, it was publicly widely reported that he was bringing knives repeatedly to school for which he had already been suspended. Then he brought a knife to another school to a track meet and And was an antagonist he was looking for trouble you can’t tell me that he wasn’t you’re already in trouble and you get suspended from your your your school for bringing repeatedly a knife to school and then you bring a knife to attract me and then you’re seeking out problems and you’re like daring people to get you. which according to numerous eyewitness accounts, if anybody ever read any of the charging docs, that’s what was cited. I mean, he’s like, yeah, try me, try me. Like gesturing to his open bag. And then he gets a knife out of it and stabs this guy to death. Yeah, so yeah, you’re probably going to get charged. You’re going to get indicted when you take a knife to school and knife someone to death. Spare me the oh, he was an honor student, whatever. Spare that for me because nobody cares. He killed someone. That is all irrelevant and meaningless. And when you see his trash garbage family get up there and try to make excuses for this brat, he’s a grown brat. then it makes all the more sense. His parents enabled this. I think they should be culpable personally. As we move, our partners that help bring you the program, it’s our friends over at Preborn, a great organization that helps women who are facing unplanned pregnancies. And you can help. They’re trying to make a big difference in the lives of unborn babies and their mothers. They are trying to get… to their goal of 1,000 ultrasounds by the end of this month. And they are so close to the goal. And they have until the end of June. Everyone can help them get to their goal of sponsoring 1,000 ultrasounds for pre-born. One ultrasound is $28. And when you consider that when a mother hears her baby’s heartbeat for the first time, that baby’s chance at life doubles, you are actively saving lives with $28. Five ultrasounds is $140. I mean, is $28 worth it to you to like literally save a life? And every cent of that $28 goes towards this purpose, by the way. All the gifts are tax deductible and Preborn has a four-star charity rating so you can give confidently knowing that their mission is being fulfilled exactly as they say it is. And they’ve been doing this since 2007, partnering with pregnancy clinics in the highest abortion cities, providing these life-saving ultrasounds. And they don’t just stop at ultrasounds. They also partner with women for the first two years of their lives to make sure that their young families get started on the best foot. You can simply dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby. That’s pound 250, the keyword baby, or visit preborn.com slash Dana, P-R-E-B-O-R-N. Their goal is to sponsor 1,000 ultrasounds for the month of June, and everyone can help save a life.
SPEAKER 20 :
President Trump keeps Iran guessing about possible U.S. military action. Maybe he will, maybe he won’t. The Supreme Court scores a win for kids and common sense by upholding Tennessee’s ban on trans treatments for kids. And even after last year’s election, some Democrats want citizenship for every illegal. Man, they’re slow learners.

SPEAKER 12 :
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 10 :
You know, my experience with him and my observation of him is he really doesn’t really like strong women.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right.
SPEAKER 10 :
He likes dutiful, obedient women who compliment him. I find. Even back in the day when I used to do jokes about his hair, you know, every male comedian did jokes about his hair, but he went after me in particular. Ah. And Rosie. Who? And Rosie O’Donnell. Oh, Rosie, yeah. He went bananas on Rosie. So he’s not going to like her. Somehow this type of woman really gets in his kishkis.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, he projects, too, also. I think he probably didn’t like you because you’re not funny. I mean, she says she wants to be Joan Rivers so bad. And Joan Rivers was actually smart, educated, witty. Everything that Joy Behar is not, Joan Rivers was. Like, don’t try to be her, right? Just because what’s her face? Yeah, Joy Behar. Because she’s not funny. There’s nothing more annoying than women who aren’t funny. She’s not funny. She’s just bitchy. How was that? Oh, he just went after me. Probably because you were also nastier than everyone else. The reason that he went after what’s her face, Rosie, is because she was nasty. It had nothing to do with the criticism. Maybe instead of taking inventory or maybe instead of blaming Trump, take inventory and note how you can you can joke about people without being as nasty as they are. And and unfunny people respond to it. I mean, with for comedy to work, there has to be a shred of truth. Unless you’re just I mean, even when you’re doing absurdum, you know, ad absurdum, it’s still there’s a shred of truth in it. Nastiness for the sake of nastiness is the laziest form of an attempt at comedy. And that’s why I’ve never gotten her. I’ve never gotten her shtick. Was she a comedian? I don’t even know what she did before she was placed on. I don’t want to know. It’s not an invitation. Don’t tell me. I don’t. My brain is not going to benefit from knowing anything about her. I just don’t – I don’t see the purpose of it. She’s just annoying and going after – we can talk about your hair or how – I get that your eyes are sisters, not twins, but at least make your eyeliner match. So the New York primary, we’ve got NATO, all the latest with NATO, and then these – This leak, we got some audio coming up that we’ll play. I’m not going to do it now, but we’ll play at the start of next hour, where SecDef Hegseth was answering questions from NBC, and they were trying to get him with this leak story of, oh, well, now it looks like there’s nothing that was destroyed, etc. Well, that’s not true. I mean, everybody’s disputing that. Everybody from Rubio to… Something is going on, though, in terms of leaks with regards to this administration or… some of these agencies, and we need to figure out who that is and why people are trying. I mean, that’s why people are trying to be so divisive. I mean, what would be the purpose of faking that? That’s so dumb. I feel like I’m asking a rhetorical question. I mean, yes, designed to specifically hurt the administration. Yes, that’s probably why. It just doesn’t make it, it just is asinine to leak something like this out there in an attempt to bolster a geopolitical foe. So we’re going to discuss all of this, as well as Rubio’s response on it, because he’s been working hard to set the record straight, too. Plus, I don’t know if you’ve seen this, the trailer to the Fantastic Four is out, and I think it’s the most garbage of all of the superhero franchises. I’ve never been a Fantastic Four fan. It’s Marvel, and Fantastic Four almost makes me hate Marvel. It’s just ludicrous. None of these characters are appealing. And the way that they changed the thing… Have you seen the way his head’s shaped? It’s weird. He just looks weird. I don’t know why they needed to redo it. And then why did they replace Chris Evans’ character? Why is it old-ass Pedro Pascal? Sorry, but he’s in this movie now. And I’m… I am such a not a fan of Pedro Pascal. I can’t stand him. I think he’s the most overhyped actor in all of Hollywood. But he fluffs all the big issues, so that’s why they like him. And he’s mean to all the people that they don’t like. His best role was when the mountain popped his head like a grape in Game of Thrones. That was, I thought, stellar acting. That’s on the sizzle reel right there, Cain. Yeah. That’s on the sizzle reel. So we’re going to discuss that because the trailer’s out and it looks horrible. And I think I would rather pull my eyeballs out fresh with pliers out of my head than be forced to endure watching anything beyond the 10 seconds of the trailer that I accidentally watched because the video auto-played on X. So… We’re going to dive into a whole bunch of stuff. If you don’t have anything nice to say about anybody, come pull up a chair by me today. Back in a moment. Don’t go anywhere because we’ll know.

SPEAKER 22 :
First of all, all this stuff about the intelligence, this is what a leaker is telling you the intelligence says. That’s the game these people play. They read it, and then they go out and characterize it the way they want to characterize, and they’re leakers. This is the game they play. So that’s number one. Number two, here’s a fact. The conversion facility. What you can’t do with a nuclear weapon without a conversion facility. We can’t even find where it is, where it used to be on the map. You can’t even find where it used to be because the whole thing is just blackened out. It’s gone. It’s wiped out. Then we dropped 12 of the strongest bombs on the planet right down the hole in two places. Everything underneath that mountain is in bad shape. And I refer you to the statement of the IAEA, Mr. Grossinger. You know what he said? He said there was Iran the way it looked the day before the attack. and what their nuclear program looks like now. Two very different things. They are way behind where they were just seven days ago. Now, anything in the world can be rebuilt, but now we know where it is, and if they try to rebuild it, we’ll have options there as well. But all this leaker stuff, these leakers are professional stabbers. That’s what they are. They go out and they read this stuff, and then they tell you what it says, against the law, but they characterize it for you in a way that’s absolutely false. There’s no way Iran comes to the table if somehow nothing had happened. This was complete and total obliteration. They’re in bad shape. They are way behind today compared to where they were just seven days ago because of what the president did.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, I told you what I thought. I think these leakers should be chained up behind a truck and dragged down a gravel road. I got some I got some I can suggest some if anybody if they’re taking any suggestions. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of the second hour. That’s Marco Rubio, who is addressing at a press conference. The I mean, it is insane that these leaks are coming out the way that they are and that they’re all designed to undermine the position of the United States. I mean, it’s almost like Hominis. What’s his face? Ayatollah Hominis doing this himself. Like he’s he’s the one who’s writing these narratives himself. That’s what it’s like. But they at NATO, they were answering these questions. Now, SecDef Hegseth has said that there is a criminal leak or that it’s a criminal leak. And therefore, they are going to investigate. And apparently the FBI is involved in looking at some of the latest headlines on this. The FBI is going to be involved in investigating the source, the origins of these leaks. It is a defense intelligence agency report. And again, it’s low confidence. And they were saying that these attacks weren’t particularly successful. This is why I think this narrative is so incredibly stupid. I think this narrative is so incredibly stupid. Because think of how long it took for the attacks in terms of launching these explosive drones within Iran. This was a a subterfuge that was two years in the making. You know that Mossad and IDF had eyes on Fornow and these other nuclear facility sites. You knew that they had their eyes on this. So to say that Iran was able in the days prior to just quickly move everything out is one of the dumbest things that I’ve ever heard. Because in order to believe that, you have to also accept that Mossad and IDF were like, OK, we’re going to stop watching these areas now that were this close to, you know, launch date. We’re just going to close our eyes and not pay attention to anything that’s happening to both of these sites that we have spent two plus exhaustive years monitoring. So we’re just going to close our eyes for right now. And if, you know, whatever happens, happens. You have to accept that as a true premise in order to believe the garbage that is being sold here. This is entirely irrelevant from whether or not someone lives Trump or hates Trump. No one cares about anyone’s personal preferences. This just has to concern with fact, logic and Occam’s razor. That’s what this is. I don’t believe that. I don’t believe that they just closed their eyes and didn’t pay attention and that the Iranians were able to get this stuff out. I don’t believe it. You shouldn’t either because you’re not stupid. No one is. I think it’s designed to undermine the U.S. and the position, regardless of whether you agree with it or not, it’s designed to undermine the U.S. at this particular point. The fact that it was low confidence, meaning that they can’t actually, with any kind of veracity, certify the accusations made in the report. It was still a classified report anyway, and it was leaked. So someone leaked classified information designed to harm the United States. I think that’s an act of treason, and I think the person who leaked it should be put to death. Hey, you know what? These laws, in order for them to work, have to have teeth. And at some point, the bill comes due. And I’m tired of us not pursuing this in the manner in which it should be pursued. So they said they’re doing an investigation right now, trying to figure out maybe perhaps where it originated and run it down. SecDef Hegseth was dealing with it on NBC, Audio Sunbite 8. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 05 :
There’s a reason the president calls out fake news for what it is. These pilots, these refuelers, these fighters, these air defenders, the skill and the courage it took to go into enemy territory flying 36 hours on behalf of the American people in the world to take out a nuclear program is beyond what anyone in this audience can fathom. And then the instinct, the instinct of CNN, the instinct of the New York Times is to try to find a way to spin it for their own political reasons to try to hurt President Trump or our country. They don’t care what the troops think. They don’t care what the world thinks. They want to spin it to try to make him look bad based on a leak. Of course, we’ve all seen plenty of leakers. And what do leakers do? They have agendas. And what do they do? Do they share the whole agenda? information or just the part that they want to introduce. And when they introduce that preliminary report that’s deemed to be a low assessment, you know what a low assessment means? Low confidence in the data in that report. And why is there low confidence? Because all of the evidence of what was just bombed by 12, 30,000 pound bombs is buried under a mountain. devastated and obliterated so if you want to make an assessment of what happened at four dough you better get a big shovel and go really deep as iran’s nuclear program is obliterated and
SPEAKER 13 :
I mean, they act like we don’t have satellite imagery. That’s the thing that just is stunning to me about this. You know, you have these news agencies that are running these headlines and you have they they’re able to access satellite imagery. In fact, the latest satellite imagery shows the widespread destruction of the Esafan nuclear facility. and that was done by a U.S. Navy Tomahawk missile strike, super widespread damage. That sub, by the way, is 400 miles away, and they struck this site with two dozen missiles, and then you had the B-2 bombers that took out the Fornow facility. But you, I mean, in the latest imagery, and the metadata is already in an image, et cetera, et cetera, the, I mean, it’s obliterated. I mean, there’s black marks on the thing where buildings were. So… These news agencies that are able to access all this information at any other time suddenly are completely helpless to verify that the accusation that is being made by these leakers is false. Now, I think the question that at some point will need to be answered is by how much does this set back the regime? And then if the regime is still in place, how long until they start trying to recover the information? their enrichment process i think those are now those are completely legitimate questions unfortunately the legacy press isn’t asking those questions because they’re more interested in trying to ding the administration they’re acting on behalf of democrats who wanted to placate the iranian regime with pallets of cash they wanted to pay them off by sending actual actual currency over on wooden pallets in the dead of night. They wanted to placate them by loosening sanctions and allowing them to make money off of previously sanctioned crude sales. They wanted to give them the world on a string. That’s what they were trying to do with Iran. And I think it’s because they wanted to be allies because they are hostile towards Saudi Arabia, the left. Because remember, Marxism plays into this to a very, very strong degree. And a lot of people discount that in this whole Shia versus Sunni, in this whole geopolitical sphere. It absolutely does. In fact, that whole ideology was part and parcel of the Shah versus the Mullahs. So… the questions that they could be asking are ones that they’re not asking. Because I think in order for them to ask those, they kind of indict themselves and their favorite party’s history with that area. And I think they don’t want to self-incriminate. So they don’t really ask any of those questions. But I think it’s fair to ask. So what does that mean? If it is the… If it’s been set back, by how long has it been set back? If the regime is going to remain in place, if it doesn’t look like the Persian people are going to get rid of the regime, then what is the estimation on how long it would take for them to rebuild and recover some of this enrichment process? I feel like that’s a legitimate question. We’ve got more on that coming up later. So I saw the trailer for the new Fantastic Four, and it looks heinous. Out of all of the superhero franchises, I hate Fantastic Four with a burning passion of a thousand suns because it is the stupidest. It is dumb. We don’t need another iteration of, you know, here’s our ragtag Avengers team. Here’s our ragtag, you know, space cowboys. Here’s our rag. We don’t need it. And then you have Pedro Pascal, who’s the most insufferable, talentless hack in all of Hollywood, who is playing Reed Richards in a completely unbelievable fashion. He looks like a doucher. I accidentally watched like 10 seconds of this trailer and I just could not bleach my eyes fast enough. I’ve never liked Fantastic Four. It makes me hate Marvel. Fantastic Four is so bad. It makes me hate Marvel. Why this franchise? Why this one of all of them? And isn’t this like the third time that they’ve tried this? Yeah. The third time. So it has Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby. I don’t know. Joseph Quinn, actually, I don’t dislike strictly because he was in Stranger Things as Eddie. And he did this sweet Metallica or no, sorry, Slayer. Was it Metallica? I can’t remember anymore. He did that sweet solo. when they were in The Other World. So I just, you know, I thought that was cool. So I’m less opposed to him. I just feel bad that he’s in it with, you know, Pedro Pascal and all of this. I just, I’m not, and I don’t dislike Vanessa Kirby. I just don’t like her in this role, really. And I really cannot stand Pedro Pascal. I can’t stand his big, thick glasses that he doesn’t need, that he wears for fashion. I can’t stand that. I’m just not a fan of him to the point where I hate everything he’s ever done, except when he got his head squashed in by the mountain. Do you like Fantastic Four? It’s the worst aspect of Marvel. It’s the worst one. No, not really. I watched the original one with Jessica Alba and I was like, kill me now.
SPEAKER 14 :
I don’t know that I’ve seen even one of them.
SPEAKER 13 :
I watched one of them when they came out and I never watched another. Like the one with the silver surfer, I’m like, this is stupid. It’s so dumb. I’m not watching it. It’s dumb even for a comic fantasy. It’s dumb. And Pedro Pascal, this is right after. It’s really smart to sit here and attack people and say I don’t like bullies and bullies are anyone who has a viewpoint with which I disagree because it’s essentially what he said while you’re promoting your movie. I guess he didn’t learn of the Rachel Zegler thing. yeah speaking of which did you hear what she’s apparently doing she’s in talks to portray uh maria and sound of music kill us all sound of music cane don’t you have to be able to sing like well i think so yeah i don’t think she’s got a good tone i’m not a fan of her either Yeah, we’ll talk more about this coming up because they’re just ruining everything out there. There’s nothing original in Hollywood anymore. And as we do so the folks who help make the program possible, relief factor, relief factor is a product that a lot of people take because they’re tired of dealing with pain every single day and they don’t want to have to go on like pain meds either. You actually have a way. to manage pain, a daily drug-free supplement designed specifically to help manage those aches and pains naturally. I know my husband uses it because he has sports injuries that he’s dealt with his whole life, like knee pain and things like that. And it’s helped with inflammation a lot. And he has to worry less when he goes and lifts weights and he’s in the gym. And Relief Factor uses A number of very powerful ingredients, turmeric, omega-3 fatty acids, resveratrol, and it’s designed to target that inflammation and support joint health. And it’s 100% drug-free. And you can try it as well. They have a three-week quick start that you can try for just $19.95. That’s less than a dollar a day. You don’t have to live with pain. So try their Relief Factor’s three-week quick start. And you can support a veteran-owned company. And then you can see the difference for yourself. Visit relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF. That’s 1-800-4-RELIEF.
SPEAKER 14 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 13 :
Because scientists changed the gender of one mouse to make it go from a chick to a dude. And then they were able to have a baby mouse from it with another male mouse after. Now they’re saying that that’s a total scientific way to pave the path for gay men to have kids. Remember the Tower of Babel? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. There you go. Why are we doing this? Why? Like, stop it. I mean, you could cure AIDS, but, you know, you could cure cancer. You could cure Alzheimer’s. No, no, we got to change this she mouse to a he mouse and make it have a baby. That’s what we’re doing instead. Meanwhile, aliens are like, this is why we’re not coming. And this is why the Sasquatch stays hidden. Because if I were a Sasquatch, to hell with you all too. I would say the same thing. A clown mask burglary suspect was identified by the parent. This sounds like a clown horror movie that I want to watch. It’s, where’s this at? They said that it’s in Kentucky. The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office took a juvenile suspect into custody. It was a series of break-ins at Saturday. He was wearing a clown mask, but an adult was able to identify the suspect. You’re always identifiable. Don’t wear a clown mask because I feel like that just brings more attention to your shenanigans. A man was arrested for DUI after he crashed into a Fresno backyard and fell asleep on the patrol car. Wow, that’s like really drunk. Drunky McDrunkface ran right into, he also ran right into a kid’s treehouse. It’s so sad. And he was arrested because they suspected that because he smelled like a keg and was slurred in his speech and also ran into someone’s house that he may have been under the influence. I mean, he crashed right through a brick wall. Don’t tell Dan Patrick because he’s going to blame the pot bears. One gummy bear will give you marijuana AIDS and you’ll walk in front of a train and die. That’s a real quote from Dan Patrick. Real quote from him. Should wearing deodorant be a part of the social contract? That should even be a question. As president of the United States, I will mandate that everybody has to wear deodorant. And if you don’t, I’m going to shoot your armpits off. That’s what’s going to happen. That’s going to be the punishment right there. So, yes, please, for the love of all things holy, be nice. There’s aluminum-free deodorant. Wear it. Tom’s of Maine doesn’t count. That smells like a dirty Birkenstock that hides a dead raccoon smell. Don’t do that. Stick with us. We’ve got a lot more on the way. Recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis legalized gold and silver as acceptable currency, meaning that Floridians cannot make transactions in gold and silver, thus creating an alternative to the U.S. dollar. So I guess all the inflation and national debt that’s spiraling out of control, not to mention the recent credit downgrade for the United States, has finally opened up all lawmakers’ eyes. The writing has been on the wall for a long time, and it’s time to protect yourself against the declining value of the dollar. And that’s exactly why I partnered with Goldco, the top rated precious metals company. and move forward with confidence.

Keep your finger on the pulse with the Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis. Whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 13 :
Welcome back to the program. I’m trolling. I got a screenshot of the ambiguously gay duo and a screenshot of the Human Torch writing the thing on Fantastic Four, and I just tweeted it out because it’s literally the same thing. Anyway, hi. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. So POTUS, he’s in the Netherlands. He’s in… Kane. He’s in Greta Thunberg’s home country. He is. It’s Greta Thunberg. She’s from the Netherlands. She tried to enter the Gaza. But audio somebody for he NATO chief called him daddy. Wait, actually, do we do four or five first? No, do five first and then we’ll follow up with four. We’ve got to do this in order. Audio somebody five first.
SPEAKER 03 :
I mean, we may do papers on it, Marco. Maybe we’re going to do papers. I don’t even know if you need them. They’re not going to be fighting each other. They’ve had it. They’ve had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard. You know, they fight like hell. You can’t stop them. Let them fight for about two, three minutes. Then it’s easier to stop them.
SPEAKER 25 :
And then daddy has to sometimes use strong language. You have to use strong language. Every once in a while, you have to use a certain word. I think we have to join the house.
SPEAKER 13 :
huh huh so he just he he did kind of call him daddy there audio some bite four trump noticed that immediately well listen mark ritter the nato chief who is your friend um he called you daddy earlier
SPEAKER 01 :
Do you regard your NATO allies as kind of children?
SPEAKER 03 :
No, he likes me. I think he likes me. If he doesn’t, I’ll let you know. I’ll come back and I’ll hit him hard, okay? He did it very affectionately. Daddy, you’re my daddy.
SPEAKER 13 :
I really want… Can we just save this for forever? That’s pretty funny. He called me daddy. Hey, there’s your daddy. There you go, right there. You’re my daddy. That’s not what he said. It’s not… I mean, you can go with it, you know. And I was reading, somebody was noting his one-liners today. Yeah, that’s my daddy. Call me daddy. Heads chopped off all over Africa. Did you get that one? I think you’re listening to it. We do have that. Yeah, can we? Let me just play this real quick. I got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, it’s right.
SPEAKER 1 :
No, it isn’t.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh, it’s not because it doesn’t want to play.
SPEAKER 03 :
It hates you. We have coming in. The Congo is coming in and Rwanda is coming in. That was a vicious war that went on, a machete war. Heads chopped off all over Africa. They’re coming in. We did two others in addition to that. Nobody’s ever done anything like this. No, I consider him a person that’s… Heads chopped off all over Africa.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, I mean… All over. I’m not, I actually like it. I just think it’s funny the way he just says it so directly because you immediately, there’s no dancing around the issue. They just immediately have to go, wait, what? Wait, what? Yes, that’s what he said. That’s what he said. You’re my, oh, I’m totally saving this. Thank you, Steve. We’re going to have to make that a stinger. part of the show forever just saying yeah yeah i’m just saying it’s gonna have to go uh it’s gonna have to go on the soundboard if it goes on the soundboard man that’s legit so the uh i NATO, I think they’ve agreed tentatively to an increase in defense spending as a percentage of GDP for each nation. Yes, Cain? Yes. And this was a huge win, I think, for POTUS. And this is the Secretary General of NATO. Listen to this. I mean, it’s kind of shocked to hear them say this. I was actually kind of surprised about this. Listen.
SPEAKER 25 :
For too long, one ally, the United States, carried too much of the burden of that commitment. And that changes today. President Trump, dear Donald, you made this change possible. Your leadership on this has already produced $1 trillion in extra spending from European allies since 2016. And the decisions today will produce trillions more for our common defense to make us stronger and fairer by equalizing spending between America and America’s allies.
SPEAKER 13 :
You’re my daddy. That’s right. That’s the way it is, man. I didn’t have enough audio in that cane. I’m going to need it again so I can… You’re my daddy. That’s right. You’re my daddy. That’s what he just said to him right there. It is. Yeah. And then he goes, you know what? Go ahead and… Oh, now it’s not playing. We’re going to Drax. Timing’s everything. Just ruined it. Timing’s everything. It’s just ruined. It’s over now. Forever. The moment’s passed. It’s long gone. So, yeah, that’s very, I mean, I’ve never, I don’t think NATO’s ever said, you know what, you guys are doing all the work. Can we help? That’s never been said.
SPEAKER 14 :
Also, I’ve been paying attention to the news all morning, and the media hasn’t said anything about NATO thanking Trump for increasing the spending in defense, therefore lowering the United States’ responsibility overall.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, and you know, and that’s funny because they always say, Trump’s trying to end NATO. He’s a Russian stooge. Wow, he’s like the worst Russian stooge that’s ever stooged because he just got everybody to agree to an increase to spending on defense per GDP. So he’s like really the worst, the worst Russian stooge then. I mean, you’re fired as Russian stooge. It’s just bad, you know? I mean… Mm, that’s just not very good. So I think right now, so far, it seems like it’s going fairly well for NATO, but NATO not so much for New York City. Mm, mm. What to say about New York City? Audio soundbite 13. Well, listen to him right here. He’s a jihadist who’s only, what, I think what he’s been here, not born here. I think he’s only been a citizen for, what, seven years? Yeah. Audio soundbite 13. Listen.
SPEAKER 16 :
Ameya Mamdani, would you welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu to New York City for whatever he comes for, given the US is not the signature to the ICC, so he can travel to the US, unlike a lot of other countries. Would Ameya Mamdani welcome Benjamin Netanyahu to the city?
SPEAKER 17 :
No. As mayor, New York City would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. This is a city that our values are in line with international law. It’s time that our actions are also. Even though the U.S. is not a signature of the ICC? No, it’s time that we actually step up and make clear what we are willing to do to showcase the leadership that is sorely missing in the federal administration.
SPEAKER 13 :
Why would he arrest him, though? For what purpose? Just because they don’t like him? He’s changed his accent again, I can say. Yeah, it’s so weird. He’s changed his accent. He’s not pandering anymore. Interesting. I’m just curious as to what he would what he would charge him with. Oh, wait. Is the accusation like genocide or something like that? I mean, let’s ignore what Gaza has done. I mean, historically for we’re going to relitigate this again. I noticed that all of the people who whose big grift is hate to Jews, that they that’s one of the things that they overlook. You know, we still have like hostages, right? There’s still hostages from that October 7th genocide. But hey. Just saying. Why? What? Like, what is the what would be the stated? What’s the what’s the violated law? He just says stuff because he thinks that that’s what his base wants to hear. He’s not a bright man. He’s a nepo baby. He is where he is because of his parents. I don’t think his parents are bright people, but it is, you know, just that’s he’s where they are. What a what a in swan song for New York, though. Just wild. We’re going to talk more about this coming up. Also, a couple of other things. Let me pull up my rundown because I want to make sure that we’re touching on everything today, too. We were talking about U.S. aid money still. I mean, it’s still being funded. I also wanted to touch on this mosquito-sized drone. China, they said that they’ve made a mosquito-sized drone. It is an inspect-inspired micro-drone. And it’s apparently going to compete with the Robo Bee, which I like that name better, and the Black Hornet. And it has a range of military and civilian uses. It’s barely the size of a human fingernail. It looks kind of like a toy. And it’s made to resemble a mosquito. It has two yellow leaf-like wings, a black vertical body, and three hair-thin legs. It was developed apparently in the Hunan province. And it is a new drone. It’s going to… It’s suited for information reconnaissance and special missions on the battlefield. Now, I think that you definitely could use it for information gathering. That’s for sure. But I don’t… I mean, it’s not really going to be able to actually be used on the battlefield. It would mainly be used in reconnaissance. So… When you think of this, I think that the balloon was just a stunt to see… how the U.S. would respond to something so egregious. I mean, if they can do this, if they really wanted to do reconnaissance, they wouldn’t send a balloon like that over. There’s a million things they could do. They could send little drones like this all over. That, you know, could easily skirt detection if they really wanted to. They wouldn’t just float a balloon over the continental United States. It’s a big old dumb balloon. It’s easily visible from everywhere. That was just a test to see how the United States would react. Now, I think Trump himself would walk out on the White House balcony and shoot it down with a with something. But I don’t know. They the drone warfare, the future. This is all pretty unbelievable. The micro drones. So they said that in China, they’re talking about using drones to spy on neighbors, individuals of interest. I think they already use this. I think that this is something that’s already implemented. But now they’re like maybe signaling it for use in the wider market. And the size of the drone limits the amount of tech that it can carry. So it has super small batteries. It has to be charged regularly. They can only carry tiny sensors. So the operator to any kind of micro drone would have to be nearby to And you would have to cycle them out and recharge them if you’re going to conduct a longer reconnaissance mission and redeploy and sift their data and all that stuff. So there are limitations to it. But I think the potential for it is pretty. This isn’t the first mini or insect-inspired drone either that’s been out there. Harvard did the Robobee. And then there was – it’s similar to this thing that’s out. And the Robobee was barely the size of a penny. And it had four razor-thin legs and two flat little wings. And some of these micro drone models can swim underwater and fly. So and then you have the palm sized Black Hornet. They’re bigger and they’re used currently by military. So we have those that are in the U.S. military in the UK and they look like a little like a little tiny little helicopter. They look like a little tiny helicopter. And so that that kind of bridges the gap between, you know, the drones as we know them and then the limitations of micro drones. And apparently Ukraine’s special forces, they’ve been using Black Hornets for reconnaissance in Kursk since, I think, 21, 22. So they’ve been using them for quite a long time. Interesting, though. As we move, folks, our partners that will bring you the program. It is the folks over at Super Beats, the Super Boreen product. You guys know the Super Beats R2s. And now you have the Super Boreen product, which is about healthy metabolism and blood sugar support. And you can invest in that for less than a dollar a day when you buy Super Boreen at Sam’s Club. The Super Beats is all about healthy blood pressure support. And the Super Boreen is about supporting your healthy metabolism and blood sugar levels. And they use a clinically studied Boreen, a Berboreen. And it delivers nearly 10 times higher absorption than standard berberine. And this means that there are fewer pills to swallow because higher absorption means you get metabolism and healthy blood sugar support benefits and one highly concentrated, easy to swallow capsule. No GI distress because it includes. grapeseed extract for greater tolerability. There are a lot of pretenders out there that use just basically whatever they can white label, but not super beats with super brewing or the hard shoes. And you can find both of these at Sam’s club, restock your heart health support with super beats, hard shoes and expand your routine with super brewing for healthy metabolism and blood sugar support. Start today and get on the road to better cardiovascular health support.
SPEAKER 08 :
What if the miracle you needed came before you even knew how to ask for it?
SPEAKER 11 :
Six months probability is what they told her. She prayed the prayer, if there is a God, let me know the truth before I die. And that evening, about nine o’clock, a man in a white lab coat came in and asked her to get out of the bed. And he said, I find no disease in your body.

SPEAKER 14 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 13 :
All right, so first up, there’s a couple here. One of them’s sad. I don’t really want to do it because it’s a sad one. This, though, there’s a Florida man who was naked in a mud cupboard and he vandalized a van and he was arrested. Yeah, I mean, in the middle of the day, a 35-year-old named Saeed Khan told deputies that he was following the sun under guidance from a higher power. And he was arrested because he was vandalizing a work van and trespassing on private property while being completely covered in mud and totally nude. He emerged from a barn. It was like way out, looks like it’s in the middle of a swamp on the map. 31 years old. They had to blur him out on all the body cam footage that they released, but he literally came out of a barn and they took him into custody. And of course they were also checking him to see if he was on any kind of mind-altering substances, which, to be quite honest, it kind of seems like he was. A Broward, Florida man and a gas station clerk got into a fight over the price of beer, and it ended up with one being shot. I mean, there’s better ways to solve disputes. The Broward Sheriff’s Office said that it was at a Valero, and 46-year-old Abdullah Monther got into an argument with the customer over the price of beer. The customer, he threw an unknown object at Monther, and the clerk took out a gun from under the counter and shot the man in the right calf muscle. It showed him take his pistol out. He called the wounded customer, something I can’t say. And then he proceeded to follow him around with it. And at that point, Look, you’ve got to be careful in those instances, even in Florida, because the moment that you become the aggressor and that you have the total power, you’re going to have a prosecutor come after you and argue that you are the antagonist in that situation, and therefore you’re not using it in self-defense, that you actually are the agitator, and then they’re going to charge you. So this guy, because he was following this guy around, that’s exactly what happened. So he was charged. I think he bonded out, though. They didn’t say what his bond was, but… He was able, he apparently bonded out. A Florida man got busted with a stolen car while he was literally pumping gas.
SPEAKER 14 :
He’s putting gas in the stolen car?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah. I mean, it’s nice of him, I guess. He’s going to return it. Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. They were tracking it after getting an alert. And then they tracked it, found the guy, literally found the guy just at a Shell gas station. He stopped really close to where he stole the vehicle. And then they even got aerial footage of it. And he was standing outside filling it with gas. And they were able to quickly, immediately take him into custody and recover the vehicle, which is something that never, doesn’t really happen when you get your car stolen, right? Like, it very rarely happens that you get it back or you get it back to where it’s not completely trashed and destroyed. So that was the good news for that guy. Let’s see here. We also have this individual. Wait, where’s this at? I almost lost it. This 74-year-old Florida man, he fought firefighters with a shotgun because he was trying to steal their fire truck. Of course it was a bad choice that he made. This is why Cain doesn’t like old people. 74-year-old Floridian man. He went on a rampage. He chased paramedics with a shotgun, punched firefighters, and then tried to steal the fire truck.
SPEAKER 14 :
How old is he?
SPEAKER 1 :
74.
SPEAKER 14 :
Good God.
SPEAKER 13 :
He’s from Ridge Manor, and police had to call for backup, and then they had to get medical in. The 74-year-old, he fell once, but when he fell for the last time, he couldn’t get up because he was super drunk. And then as he was trying to get up, they were trying to help him, and then he got very combative. and he was chasing them out of his house, and he hit one firefighter with his shotgun, like he just used it as a melee weapon. And then he ran to the fire truck, climbed inside, and a first responder was still in the passenger seat. As the dude tried to drive away, they pulled up as the truck was pulling out, and they intervened. The deputies had to climb literally on the moving fire truck and pull the man out. And then as they were doing that, he started punching cops. How do you go from being so drunk that you can’t get up to I’m climbing in a fire truck and I’m punching out cops as they try to get me out?
SPEAKER 14 :
And you’re 74.
SPEAKER 13 :
How do you go from being so drunk you can’t get up to that? I don’t understand that physiology here. We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us. Third hour. Next. The folks who helped make the program possible. We have Kel-Tec, the PR-57. It’s one of the new ones that Kel-Tec came out with at the start of the year, the PR-57, which is a rotary barrel pistol chambered in 5.7 available now. And you can go to your FFL, order it online, have it shipped to your FFL. Made in the USA from a Florida-based company. And with the PR 57, they achieve the smaller stature in a number of different ways, not only with the rotary barrel, but also the unique top loading design, which uses stripper clips instead of, you know, traditional magazines. So if a leftist talks about clips instead of The magazine in this case, they’re going to be accurate. It has an MSRP of only $399, so it’s super affordable for everyone. Quickest and easiest field strip available. Low recoil for ease of use and accuracy. It’s very similar to my G43X magazine. in terms of lightness and all of that. And so if you like 5.7, this is an interesting option for you. But it’s made in America from Kel-Tec. You can learn more at keltecweapons.com, K-E-L-T-E-C, weapons.com, Innovation Performance Kel-Tec, keltecweapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you.
SPEAKER 04 :
Say that he is far too extreme on economic issues and even issues involving Israel. I’m curious what your thoughts are on him ideologically. Is that does he does he have an ideology that you would want your candidates in 2026 to have?
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, from the standpoint of House Democrats and what our focus has been, clearly we have an affordability crisis in the United States of America. And our focus will continue to be on driving down the high cost of living in this country. Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Costs haven’t gone down. They’re gone.
SPEAKER 13 :
Wow. So somehow, wait. How is it? So he, wait, is he blaming ma’am Donnie on Trump? Hakeem Jeffries?
SPEAKER 14 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 13 :
Boy, oh boy. Oh my gosh. I got to gear up for this kind of stupid. Let me stretch. I got to stretch. Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER 14 :
Is there anything they won’t blame on Trump?
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh wait, I’m talking to myself. Welcome back to the show. Top of the third hour. The chat’s at Rumble. Channel 347 is where you can watch the radio program. The point of him blaming Trump, I mean, then really what he’s saying is that they can’t say that the rise of this guy is like a consequence of Biden’s They can’t really say that. But it really is, though, if you think about it, it really is. I mean, it’s a consequence of Biden because Biden was considered establishment. And also, then when they ran Kamala, no one picked her. And I think they were mad about it. The other stupid narrative that I hear, excuse me. Is that I don’t think I know that there was a lot of audio. We don’t need audio about it, but there were a lot of Democrats and members of the leftist commentariat that argued. That Mamdani’s race or his is winning this primary race for the Democrat nominee for the seat for mayor is a result of immigrants being repulsed and they’re mad and they came out. That’s a lie. In fact, some of the data. You pull this up. That was published this morning and even like a lot of the polling going into the race that which showcases that it absolutely is not due to quote unquote, like this immigrant rebellion. You know who it is that pushed him over the top, that broke him, like completely put him over the line? Older white liberal women. Think Cynthia Nixon, that kind. Gosh, they’re a plague up on the earth. That kind. The older, white, liberal, and by liberal, I don’t really mean liberal. I mean Marxist women. The older, white, Marxist women. Those are the ones that put him over the top. That’s pretty something. So they’re trying to misrepresent it and act like it’s because of Deportations of people who are in the country illegally and it’s not at all. It’s Older white marks women female Marxists. That’s it. Those are the ones who were doing it That actually shocked me The turn even going into this he was leading with that demo he was double digits over Cuomo and You know, I mean everybody else was in the dust with that demo that demo specifically So what’s happening with the men in New York? What is happening with the men in New York? Because that demo was dwarfing even New York males going out to vote. Are they just, is this just the end stage of mandom because of third and fourth wave feminism in New York? Is that what we’re seeing? Because it’s what it seems to indicate. This is pretty fascinating. So the, my heavens. So now it’s going to be Eric Adams who is going to face off against Ma’am Danny. This is a guy, I don’t know if you’ve seen some of the stuff that he has said, Ma’am Danny. But he has said before, defund the New York police. He says queer liberation means defund the police. He said things like that. Some of his tweets are… pretty insane, if you’ve seen them. He said things like, we can tax the rich, heal the sick, house the poor, defund police, and build a socialist New York. We’re getting into the area of the left saying, well, finally, someone’s trying real socialism. It’s failed everywhere that it’s ever been implemented. The reason that but their their argument is that, well, the reason that it’s failed is because it wasn’t implemented correctly. How do you implement it correctly? That doesn’t make any sense. I mean, he’s and he was plus he was over plus 10 over Cuomo. That’s terrifying. He had a lot of the labor union support. MoveOn supported him. He endorses the whole phrase, quote, globalize the infantada. So he’s a jihadi. If you believe that, you’re a jihadist because that’s what that means. You’re declaring war on everything. People who think that it doesn’t mean that have never, they’ve never lived. They don’t live lives. He believes in freezing rent rates. Universal child care. So he thinks child care should be universally free and public, open to everyone. He believes in funding completely, quote unquote, transgender health care with tax dollars. So he believes in full. I’m like reading literally off of his platform that is available on his Web site. He believes in free gender surgeries for all transgenders in New York funded by the taxpayer. He’s also called for $65 million initially, and this includes minors to fund their transitions. He believes in an over 50% tax rate on top earners. What? Remember how they want salt? They want to be able to have salt deductions. But now look what they’re going to do. They’re literally going to they voted literally for this is why I don’t believe New York or anybody else should get salted. Screw you. No, they literally just voted for higher taxes for themselves. And then they’re going to demand that you offset that. We all have to offset it with salt and the big, beautiful bill. But they want they voted for higher taxes for themselves. Oh, my gosh. So they want to be able to pay less federally because they stupidly paid more by voting for more locally. Not kidding you. That’s how that works. They want to pay less federally and they think they should have to pay less federally because they voted for more higher taxes locally. Now, do you understand how the SALT debate, how that’s why people are mad about it? No, I don’t think they should get any kind. No, screw you. You just have you just elected to pay higher taxes across the board. There you go. Now, Adams is running as an independent. And he’s the only one who’s actually competitive. And that’s pretty much it. How is this going to work out? Prediction markets give him a 94% to 99% chance. He’s going to beat Adams, probably. So there’s just no getting around that. I mean, he’s, you know… But the narrative is that he took on the Democrat Party establishment and that he was able to edge out the establishment’s golden boy, which was Andrew Cuomo. Keep in mind, before COVID, Cuomo was on track to run for the presidential nomination. I think if the elderly nursing home of all those people hadn’t lost their lives in that, I think that he probably… would have been the pick over Kamala Harris to replace Joe Biden. They would have run with him. He was being groomed to be the next big thing within the Democrat Party. I mean, he backs Hamas. He’s tapped into the anti-Semitic vote. He’s a Nepo baby. He was raised in extreme wealthy privilege. All of that. So, man, New York is going to be utterly destroyed after this. I have no words. When you see all the stuff that he has backed, it’s insane. He’s literally said, no, we want to defund the police. He’s been saying this for years. Well, he’s only been a citizen for seven years. He majored in African studies. He says taxation isn’t theft. Capitalism is. How do you take Karl Marx and make it stupider? May I introduce you to Zoran Mamdani? He actually, by the way, he has actually said this. I’ll send you the tweet here. He has actually said this. This is an actual quote, kind of his. He says, taxation isn’t theft, capitalism is.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, my God. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 13 :
And his solutions to the increasing prices is to freeze all rent. So you remember the moratorium that we had unconstitutionally with the CDC after COVID and how they wanted to get involved with property owners and freeze rent and basically have property owners subsidize the living expenses of the people who are renting their properties. So they got free rent immediately. and had everything paid for, utilities, everything at the expense of property owners, who still had to pay taxes at the end of the year. They didn’t get a moratorium on that. So he wants to implement that citywide. So freezing rents, doing away with them entirely in some places, and owning all of the grocery stores. This guy’s a failed rapper whose mom directed his music videos. This is who they’re choosing in New York. I have no words, Cain. You had anything to add?
SPEAKER 14 :
I don’t. No, I don’t. This is just so wild. I can’t imagine a Cuomo losing in the primary to this guy. I don’t even believe the polling was real. Are they manipulating elections in New York or something? This is what I’m thinking.
SPEAKER 13 :
No one knows. It’s just insane. This is a good job, New York. So New York’s done. We got a lot more on the way. Our partners that are bringing the program Gold Co. Precious Metals.

SPEAKER 13 :
Wall Street Journal has an interesting story. It says goodbye, fancy bar. Hello, at home pizza party. Young Americans are cutting back. There’s a huge drive and decline of spending amongst Gen Z. They said we feel rich drinking free coffee. So the shopping spree for young Americans is over. There’s going to be a lot of things changing because of them. I think it’s fine. Is it going to affect our consumer culture and materialist, you know, predilection in society i don’t know maybe um but very uh very interesting so you know we’ll we’ll see how this goes uh let’s see skimpy men’s swimsuits are making a splash let’s not let’s not let’s not dudes i’ve heard that speedos for dudes they think are more comfortable than trunks is that true i can’t imagine why Well, every man that I’ve heard men debate this, like friends and family debate this, and everyone talks about chafing. I’m actually kind of curious. Is that really more, because not every man should wear a Speedo, like every woman should wear a bikini.
SPEAKER 14 :
I feel like that, like with shoes or socks, it’s like, oh, the tighter it is, the better. No, no. Yeah. No, it’s not comfortable.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER 14 :
I’m sorry.
SPEAKER 13 :
Place arrest a man whose name is literally Looney Tunes. After a three-day search. Oh, okay. Yeah, there we go. Literally, his name is Looney John Franklin Toon.
SPEAKER 14 :
Hope he goes by his middle names.
SPEAKER 13 :
Looney John Franklin Toon is his actual name. It’s not a Florida story. It’s an Oregon. K-A-T-U. Channel 2. They said that he was arrested on a search warrant. He was taken into custody without incident. And he had a warrant for his arrest. Just the name alone is shocking. I don’t know. A British groom was arrested for trying to marry a nine-year-old girl at Disneyland. Was he killed instantly? A British man was arrested for trying to marry a nine-year-old girl at Disneyland Paris. And he was a registered pedophile on the British sex offenders list, according to prosecutors. I wonder what his name was. It took place in front of 100 mortified guests at Sleeping Beauty’s castle. And this is Disneyland Paris. And they said that he was wanted back in his homeland. I’m pretty – yeah, he’s not a regular British man. Let’s just say that. I mean, he looks like a Muslim guy. I’m just going to say. He looks – that would be – I’m going to say what nobody else has the balls to say. Makes sense. Anyway, so, yeah, they said it was a fake ceremony. He had a wedding cake, chairs for guests, all this stuff. The nine-year-old girl had not suffered any harm. And an individual who was recruited to act as a wedding guest said, we thought we were all going to attend a wedding, and then we were shocked when they realized the bride was a child. Oh, I’m sorry. Please tell me this guy was immediately put to death. I’m just saying this is just and it wasn’t a joke. It was like he actually she had four inch heels taped to her feet. The four year old did. The four year old did. Oh, my gosh. Let’s see. Church wardens resigned over a botched restoration of a Virgin Mary statue. Oh, my gosh. It really wasn’t that bad. It’s the Virgin of La Macarena and it’s a Catholic effigy in the Basilica de Santa Maria La Esperanza in Seville. And I can’t even. They said it was a bad. Oh, my gosh. I can’t. This is what they said. Apparently, this is a measure that they use. They said it wasn’t quite as starkly awful as monkey Christ. But they said that her eyelashes were lengthened. They changed her skin tone. They changed her dress and jewelry. I mean, is it that bad? Is it that bad? I don’t think it’s that bad. But honestly, I would not have known if I would have just seen it. I don’t know. But they’re up in arms and they had two wardens that quit. So, I don’t know. We got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. More in store.

SPEAKER 02 :
They took bits and pieces from a leaked top secret intelligence report. And by the way, I understand the FBI is investigating who was the source of that leak because it’s an illegal leak to CNN. And this is the same fake news CNN reporter who wrote the story alleging that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, which we know is one of the greatest political hoaxes this country and the American public have ever seen. And that CNN story does not to the facts. There was a total and complete obliteration of Iran’s nuclear facilities. And because of the president’s strike, Because of the precision of our United States military in this perfectly executed mission, Iran no longer has the capability to produce a nuclear weapon as imminently as they did prior to the strike. The American people and the world should be grateful for that. And it’s disgusting that CNN and the New York Times are disparaging not just the president, but our brave men and women who helped conduct this highly successful operation. What kind of consequence could the leaker face?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, that’s a big thing. What kind of consequence could that leaker face? Because, I mean, it was classified information. And, of course, we’re talking about the story that started. This started, like, building up last night. The leaker were… It’s a report. It’s a classified report. Defense Intelligence Agency. It’s a classified report that was… It’s low confidence, meaning that there’s no… There’s no vetting of it and there’s no, they’re saying that it’s not accurate because they didn’t look at the accuracy. There’s no way to, there’s no accuracy, there’s no assessment to it. And it was just a low confidence report that was classified that said not a lot was ruined by the striking of these nuclear facilities. And another part of that narrative was that, well, somehow Iran had moved a lot of the materials out before it was bombed, which is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. And I say this because we know for a fact that Mossad had infiltrated and had set up these, you know, these drone bases that they could detonate remotely, these drone bases within Iran. They were getting trucks in Iran. They had eyes on all of these facilities. And this was a two plus year long. reconnaissance op. And they had eyes on this. So you’re telling me that they in the days leading up to actually kicking off the mission, the conclusion, the denouement of the mission, you’re telling me that they just decided to close their eyes and didn’t pay attention to these sites that they’ve had under surveillance for two years? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. They would have known. And that’s the argument that’s being made is that, oh, well, in the days leading up to it, I ran, hurried up and got everything out. You’re telling me that they were able to get past all of the eyes that were on this? I don’t believe that. But that’s what you have to believe in order to believe that these… that the accusation wrapped with these leaks are accurate. And it’s not. So I don’t believe that it is. I just want to see people punished for leaking classified information that seeks to undermine the United States on an international stage and weaken our national security. That’s what I would like to see. It’s the fact that I guess not a lot of people know what that means for it to be low level. So I don’t know. I don’t know what that means. Why they think that that’s unimportant. That’s a significant thing. So again, welcome back. Dana Lash with you. I was looking at this thing when I wanted to add on the story that we’ve been watching this week, this push to sell government land, government owned land out west, which I think the federal government owns too much land. But I also believe that The part in this, why isn’t this just relegated back to the states, the land that is under federal control in each of these states? And I said this earlier this week and there were some drive bys that missed that entire point. Then give it back to the states and allow the states to determine what to do with the land within their state. That should be I think that’s a that’s to me, that’s like the most obvious way to handle this situation. But I don’t know why there are Republicans that are not supportive of that. Like people like Mike Lee that seem to think that the federal government can just sell it without any input from the states. And there’s no guarantee that it wouldn’t go to like BlackRock or CCP or etc. or anything to that nature. I don’t know why. There was… I’m going to pull this up. The accusation that it’s because we have a shortage of homes. The data doesn’t support this, though. In fact, it shows that the monthly supply of new houses in the United States has actually increased. And this is from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and the U.S. Census Bureau as it pertains to the housing inventory estimate. And it looks at total housing units in the United States. And that’s actually on an increase, significantly increased. The drop between 2010 and I would say maybe 2018 really kicked up into gear, even kicked up during COVID and is still on an upwards trend. So this idea that it’s a housing shortage is a lie. It’s not a housing shortage. There’s no data that supports the accusation that it is a housing shortage. The problem is, Cain and I have discussed ad nauseum, is cost. It’s expenses. not just cost of living, which has been driven by reckless government spending, printing of money, quantitative easing, inflation, etc., etc., etc., but also the cost of goods and materials, the cost of living, inflation, etc. All of that, that is the problem. It’s not because there are… I get so aggravated because they act like there’s not enough houses for people that are in the country, and that’s actually… All the data… from not just the census, but the federal assessment shows that it’s false. It’s false. Again, all the false narratives today. What is up with that? Get the false narrative with the For Now facility. And by the way, Lorraine’s got a piece that’s running here in a moment over at Chapter and Verse on Substack where she gets into some of those accusations, particularly as it pertains to the Fornow facility. Because at first they think that they actually put a lot in that facility because they, and by they I mean the Mullis, believed that it was impenetrable. And they kind of had all their eggs in one basket. I’ve read, and this kind of goes into one of the other things that I was reading, that because they believe that that facility and that storage entity was so impenetrable that they actually, there may be more resources lost than what everyone is estimating publicly, which that would be a good thing. That would be a good thing to see, to have that. That would be a very good thing. Now, POTUS is in the Netherlands. He’s there for NATO meeting with world leaders. One of them already called him daddy. Already said he was like daddy. He did meet with Zelensky. Was Zelensky in a suit for this meeting? Because I saw a photo of him in a suit. And someone said, oh, my gosh, Zelensky is at NATO in a suit. Was he in a suit for POTUS’s meeting? Audio sent by two. POTUS said that he did meet with him. This is what he had to say. I think we had Zelensky.
SPEAKER 03 :
Did you discuss any ceasefire in this Russian Ukrainian? No, no. I just I wanted to know how he’s doing. It was very nice, actually. We had little rough times. Sometimes he was couldn’t have been nicer. I think I’d like to see an end to this. I do. I think what I took from the meeting couldn’t have been nicer, actually. But I took from the meeting that he’d like to see it end. I think it’s a great time to end it. I’m going to speak to Vladimir Putin, see if we can get it ended. But look, these are brave people. They’re fighting these wars all over the place. You know, last week they had, I guess, close, I told you, close to 7,000 young soldiers. Russian and Ukrainian soldiers were killed, 7,000 in one week. It’s crazy. It’s crazy. So I’ll be speaking to Putin. No, I had a good meeting with… With Zelensky. And I had a lot of good meetings. We had a lot of good meetings with a lot of people, a lot of great leaders. But he’s he’s fighting a brave battle. It’s a tough battle.
SPEAKER 13 :
Hmm. Hmm. So and he was apparently in a suit is what the. I know he does actually own a suit. He doesn’t just own, you know, his his cosplaying fatigues, just saying. Now, to the point of the nuclear strike, there’s a nuclear watchdog chief, UN nuclear watchdog chief, who said there’s a night and day difference between the nuclear capabilities before and after the strikes. It’s a free beacon piece that ran just a little bit ago that gets into disputing that narrative. I’m curious. I am curious as to who it is that’s leaking this stuff. They’re going to have to tamp down on this. They’re going to have to get this under control for sure. A couple of other things before we wrap up our third hour as well. We had a discussion about the Fantastic Four trailer and how bad it looked. I wasn’t joking when I said that Rachel Zegler, it’s not confirmed, but she is in talks to play Maria in The Sound of Music. Why? Do they hate us? Do they not learn their lesson? I don’t think she sings that well. I’ve heard her sing and I don’t think that she’s a great voice. Sound of Music is iconic. It is an iconic film. Rodgers and Hammerstein. I think everybody had to watch that in elementary. Isn’t that when you watched it? Or in school, junior high or something. Everybody had to watch that. Rachel Zegler is not Julie Andrews. Do not even think about messing with us unless it is someone who is on par with Julie Andrews. Otherwise, it’s going to be a horrible experience for that person and the rest of us. I mean, it’s an Austrian story. You know? It’s like saying we’re going to tell Pocahontas and we’re going to have Paris Hilton stars Pocahontas. You know what I mean? It’s like an Austrian story. It has to do with… And I don’t… Is Rachel Zegler the only actor who can poorly play other characters? I don’t understand it. What is this obsession with trying to make her a thing? It’s not going to happen. And she’s not a great voice either. I could understand it if she were a great voice and she could… play this character convincingly and everyone would forget about this stupid stuff that she said in the past and they would be like oh my gosh the voice makes up for it you know I get but she’s no no why would you have why would you no that doesn’t make any sense at all to have her play Julie Andrews’s role as Maria von Trapp in The Sound of Music that’s now again it’s just discussions But still, you know what that means. If they’re already leaking out that it’s discussions, there’s probably a good chance it might already be dry on the contract. I mean, it sounds like it might be for a film, right? And on a in a play, maybe a stage production, maybe, but not in a film. Let’s not do this to everybody for the love of all things holy. We’ve already endured enough with her. She was like they marketed her as being the pretty one in Snow White. Imagine you’re facing off against Gal Gadot in Snow White and she’s supposed to pretend to be the ugly one. Oh, my gosh.
SPEAKER 26 :
Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of Not So Serious on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 19 :
I think we should choose the motto, make NATO great again. I would like to extend my gratitude to President Donald Trump, because without his engagement, I can imagine that we would discuss probably the level of 2.5%. With no clear outcome and positive outcome, probably those discussions will lead to nothing.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, I was told that Trump was ruining NATO and that he was a Russian stooge. We were all told that. That’s what we heard.
SPEAKER 14 :
They were laughing at him on the world stage.
SPEAKER 13 :
Right. We heard this repeatedly over and over again and that he was going to end NATO, et cetera, et cetera. I don’t know how many times you heard this. Now it looks like these countries are increasing their own. They’re spending a percentage of their GDP on their own defenses. So they’re boosting their defenses and not relying constantly again on the United States to do it for them, which was finally acknowledged, I think, in actual blatant terms that the United States has been picking up so much slack. In fact, we didn’t replay this for so long about this. And it’s been good to see this. In fact, I hear somebody 30. This is literally what they said. This is the secretary general of NATO. Finally, it’s been acknowledged. Listen.
SPEAKER 25 :
For too long, one ally, the United States, carried too much of the burden of that commitment. And that changes today. President Trump, dear Donald, you made this change possible. Your leadership on this has already produced one trillion dollars in extra spending from European allies since 2016. And the decisions today will produce trillions more for our common defense to make us stronger and fairer by equalizing spending between America and America’s allies.
SPEAKER 13 :
Finally, I’m happy that this has been acknowledged. It’s been a long time coming. Do you remember in POTUS’s first term when he went and he got into a fight with Angela Merkel about Germany increasing just to meet the bare minimum requirements for NATO that had not been enforced up to that point? Just please spend towards your own defense. Germany had, ugh, they hemmed and hawed. They dragged their feet. Angela Merkel was very upset that this was being asked of her. She faced off against POTUS. That’s where that famous, that’s where that famous, A photo came where he’s sitting at the table and she’s leaning across the desk and he’s got his arms folded. He’s just glaring at her. That’s where that came from. So now now everyone is is stepping up to do their part finally. So where is all the left after all the years of, oh, NATO is going away. Oh, he’s literally Hitler. He’s getting rid of NATO. We heard that over and over again. Where are they at now? Are they are they congratulating our nation on achieving this, on having our NATO allies actually finally step up and meet the minimum requirements of percentage of GDP for spending on their own defenses? Because I haven’t seen that. I see people trying to leak and undermine while NATO is underway. I see people with, you know, gutless, baseless narratives. We’re going to follow that. In the meantime, today in Stupidity, Cain.
SPEAKER 14 :
Speaking of those narratives, not only the New York Times, but CNN named. This is Erin Burnett of CNN. Cut 11, Juan. She says that there’s a friendliness to the Iranians when they chant death to America. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 24 :
I remember, Dan, at one point being in Tehran years ago, and they’re chanting death to America all around me, even as I say, oh, I’m an American reporting for CNN, and they were happy to speak to me. So those two sort of jarring realities of the chant, and yet the friendliness have existed.
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, the chant and the friendliness of the Iranians. What was that chant again?
SPEAKER 13 :
Death to America.
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, there it is. The friendliness of that chant.
SPEAKER 13 :
Death to America. Like, I mean, you know, psych. Mostly peaceful. Folks, that does it for us today. Find us over on Substack, Chapter and Verse, YouTube, Facebook. Like and subscribe. I’ll be back with you tomorrow.
