It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Woo! It's time for Florida Man. I had to take a screenshot of the drunk guy in the story and drop it in Slack before I could do anything.
So Christopher Johnson, he's forty four years old. Florida man was caught driving into oncoming highway traffic according to a video. He faces charges of DUIDWLS. I don't know what that one is, but... Probably driving while Literally stupid, I don't know.
He was taken into custody. He was seen driving straight up into oncoming traffic. Lady Lake Police Uh They Got police got a ton of calls about a red Ford car swerving, crossing lanes, almost striking a ton of other cars. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. That he couldn't even stand on his own. Officers saw tons of open containers, that's many of which still had alcohol. It's like he didn't even finish this drink. It's like that bothers me.
Like, finish one drink before you open another. But that's the least of these concerns right now. But he wasn't able to stand without help. You wanna know what his blood alcohol what his breast sample was? Oh.
Oh man. That's three times. The legal limit. And uh. One officer asked him to keep his eyes on the officer's finger.
They were doing the sobriety check. And Johnson goes, This is where I've always had a problem. It's actually hard to follow. And um The officer says, okay, well, um we do believe you're impaired. And then he said, Well, I had s a couple drinks earlier in the night.
And he, they looked, he had all these prior convictions for DUI. Oh, also suspended license. Oops. Yeah, so he got in big time trouble, but apparently he was driving like if you put a toddler behind the wheel of a car. And gave him a pixie stick and just let him go.
That's apparently what this guy was driving. Like, can't even imagine. It's insane. Let's see. Oh my gosh.
How do you lead people on a 36-hour foot chase in the swamp? That is what happened. A 37-year-old man in Florida was arrested after a 36-hour chase. 36 hours.
Now, WFLA said several.
Sorry, sirs. It was 36 hours. in the Gator's house. And I'm watching body cam video, dudes. This is straight up like in the swamp swamp.
Like they're not gonna find you. If you get lost out there. The 37-year-old man, Earl Dory, he fled in a stolen vehicle, ran over stopsticks, abandoned the vehicle, and then he ran off into the swamp. And then during the pursuit, deputy said he pointed a gun at them and then pointed it at his own head, threatening to harm himself. He has one stock.
And that was it.
Well, he had boxers, a sweatshirt, and he was wearing and sock.
So they had canine chase him down. Then they lost sight of him. Like, I don't know if this guy's like superhuman or what. They said he was he went into the swamp 36 hours. They finally got him.
And uh Dory said he was thirsty and his legs hurt.
So he got booked on aggravated assault on law enforcement, possession of weapon by convicted felon, fleeing. Oh, he had lots of meth. I know that's super surprising.
So methed up. Yeah, that explains a few things. Yeah. Let's see. A 79-year-old Florida man faked his own death and was arrested after 16 years on the run.
He's a sex offender. That's why you just, you know. death penalty. Death penalty for that. It's the folks at Keltech.

Terms apply. Yeah. Goodness. Welcome back to the program. Daniel Ash with you.
You can listen coast to coast terrestrially. We're all over these United States and also digitally as well. Channel 347 Direct TV joining us now. He's got a brand new book out. And I actually just saw that he was in, I think, the Oval Office yesterday with POTUS signing it.
The book is the revolution of common sense, which we need. How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western Civilization. What a great title, especially after watching that press conference. The author, senior contributor, host of the Scott Jennings radio show, Scott Jennings. He joins us now via video.
Scott, it's such a pleasure. I've never, we've never formally met, but now we kind of have.
So congrats on the book. Nothing like a first conversation to be done in front of thousands of people. Daniel, thank you for it. Of course. You know, I mean, it's the American way.
I got to ask you, especially considering the content and the focus of your book, I wanted to get your reaction to that press conference because it is not easy. You're balancing MBS. The Saudis that you're trying to make amenable to the Abraham Accords. You're pushing out, you know, the Islamism of Qatar and Iran. You have UAE, you have Saudi Arabia, then you're also balancing your ally Israel.
You're dealing with a super hostile press who's trying to make this Muslim Brotherhood supporting jihadists to be like this everyday journalist. It was very interesting. I thought Trump handled it very well. And I think it marks like another new beginning for relations with the Middle East. And I wanted to get your thoughts on all this.
I know you talk about it quite a bit. Absolutely.
Well, what the president is trying to do is nothing short of miraculous, and that's forge a real peace in the Middle East like we've never seen before. He's already started. He got the living hostages back from Gaza, which was a miracle and worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. He got all the Arab states to join in his peace plan for Gaza, which, by the way, passed unanimously at the United Nations Security Council yesterday. And now he wants Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, which, if they join, That opens the floodgates for all the other Arab states to join, and that'll bind everybody in the region together economically and from a perspective of their own security.
So he's juggling some really large issues. And then he has the press come along in the Oval Office today and try to throw all sorts of sand in the gears of this. And he kept focused on what's important, and that's lasting peace in the Middle East. He needs the Saudis to continue to buy into the economic partnership with the United States, which they have, announcing a $1 trillion investment, a defense partnership with the United States. We're selling them F-35s now.
And this long-term Abraham Accords economic and security relationship that'll bind the region together. This is all Trump's idea. This is all his legacy in the Middle East. And as you heard, he's going to stay focused on that, not like the press. Try to divide us from an important ally in the region, which is Saudi Arabia.
Yeah, and I just the snide tone that the reporter had, and I thought he played it off very well. And you bring up with the Abraham Accords and the reshaping of. The Middle East and what that power dynamic looks like. I don't know that, I don't think any other president has had that kind of impact in the Middle East as Trump has. No, look, a lot of presidents have made promises to Israel and never kept them.
This president did. A lot of other presidents have said they wanted peace in the Middle East, and they have meetings and they have summits, and then, you know, nothing ever happens. We go back to fighting. Iran develops a nuclear weapon. You know, Hamas flourishes.
Only President Trump worked with our ally, Israel, to defeat Iran and to defeat Iran's terror proxies and to prep the region for long-term peace. He did not put American soldiers in harm's way, but he did engage at the exact right time to get us into a situation where we are today, which is Israel is in a strong position and Iran is in a weak position. Look, that's good for the whole world. If you believe in Western civilization, having Iran on the way down and Israel and its Arab partners who want peace and security in the Middle East on the way up, that's a good thing. Trump maneuvered all of this.
And it's not just to the benefit of Israel. It's to the benefit of the United States and I think the whole world. We're talking to Scott Jennings, whose new book, Revolution of Common Sense, How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western Civilization, which is out today. One quick thing, and then I'm going to ask about the Epstein stuff, all of the drama with Democrats. One quick thing that POTUS mentioned, too, that I thought was really sharp.
And I... When he was visiting Saudi Arabia spring and they had that huge rollout for him and this great reception, and he was speaking at one of the business events over there, and he talked about rolling back these sanctions on Syria. And MBS stood up and applauded, and all these other Arab leaders did. And then, Scott, I know you remember after that, when we had the joint strikes with Israel on Iran, Syria closed their airspace, like something we have never seen before. This partner previously of Iran decided, nope, no more.
And I know that they have a new leader, and I know he comes from a background of brutality, but that is a different area. It's not the United States. It's geopolitics. I thought that, and Trump brought that back up. Up again.
And I was hoping sort of that more of the reporters there, Scott, would kind of like come back to that because that was major. That was so huge when that happened. I mean, talking about redefining that entire area, just your last quick thought on that before I get into the Epstein stuff.
Well, in the Middle East, you got to play the hand you're dealt. And the hand we're dealt in Syria right now is a better hand than we had. And yes, I agree with you. The new president of Syria has a shady background. I mean, we had a $10 million bounty on this guy's head at one point.
Uh Sorry, we got some sound going on in here, but you're fine. But yeah, but the point is. We now have somebody who wants to work with us on peace. Before we didn't have that, separating Iran from its former allies, that was strategically a great thing. Yeah.
I read actually I saw a video of you earlier. where you uh deconstructed The narrative that has been coming from the press about the Epstein story and how it really is such a major distraction. Correct me if I'm wrong, Scott, but I would just think if ever there was anything to come out about Trump with this, wouldn't they have done it before the guy became president? Like, why would you wait until after he becomes president? It doesn't make any sense.
Totally. Look, if there was something to know about Donald Trump, we'd know it. That's number one. Number two, I'll tell you what we're finding out. There's something to be known about Democrats.
I mean, look, Larry Summers, the former president of Harvard, Bill Clinton's Treasury Secretary, is soliciting dating advice from Epstein. That's number one. Stacey Plaskett, a member of the Democratic House Conference, getting programmed by Epstein after he was a convicted sex trafficker. She's getting text messages from him. Say this, say this.
These are Democrats. This has nothing to do with Donald Trump.
So the Democrats that want to try to tie up Donald Trump with this story. They may be careful what they wish for here because I think a lot more Democrats had a lot more to do with Epstein than Donald Trump ever did. There's not a shred of evidence Donald Trump ever knew anything or did anything untoward or unethical or worse. That's what the Democrat narrative is, but I think it's going to blow up in their face. If you're objective and you look at what we know right now, A lot more Democrats had ties to Epstein than Donald Trump ever did.
Exactly. And it seemed to me, just from looking at some of the earlier materials, it sounded like he was a whistleblower. On Epstein. He banned him from Mar-a-Lago, and he was the one who told the FBI: this guy's a skis. Totally.
He excommunicated Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago and from his life. Howard Luttnick, who is the commerce secretary, did a podcast the other day talking about how he one time went to Jeffrey Epstein's apartment. It was, they were neighbors, and he looked around and he walked out and he said, I'm never coming back here again. All the Trump people knew and got rid of Epstein out of their life. It was the Democrats after Epstein was convicted who continued to communicate with him, take instructions from him, work with him.
And basically, it was all in service of hating Donald Trump because they hate Donald Trump that much. They decided to align themselves with a convicted sex trafficker in the hopes of somehow trying to take Donald Trump down.
Well, they never did. They never did take him down, but I think they're going to have a lot of mud on themselves when all is suddenly done here. I cannot believe. This Stacey Plaskett business is not a bigger story. She's getting instructions from Epstein about what to say in a congressional hearing and then just reading it off her phone?
That's crazy. And not a single concern from the press that didn't come up in that White House press. Our last question for you. You talked about Marjorie Taylor Greene. We were talking about some of the people who've been critical of Trump.
I'm worried that there are some who are going to try to do these like soft broadsides against POTUS as he gets closer and closer towards the end of his second term. And I'm kind of wondering if that's not what some of this is. I've seen Marjorie Taylor Greene referred to as Marjorie Cheney Greene, which, you know, kind of funny. But I wanted to get your thoughts on this because I'm trying to figure out why she's so upset with him other than the fact that he won't endorse her for the Senate race. Look, I met with the president in the Oval Office yesterday.
I gave him a copy of my book, by the way, and signed one for him, and he signed one for me, and that was fun. But we talked about Marjorie Taylor Greene. And bottom line is, back in the summer, she wanted to run for statewide office in Georgia. He heard about it. He saw a poll.
He sent her the poll. The poll said she was going to get humiliated. She was down 20 points to John Ossoff. He didn't hurt her publicly. He did it discreetly.
He did it privately, but he was giving her information. He was trying to do her a favor. And since that moment, she has opposed him on the Middle East. She opposed him on taking out the Iran nukes. She's opposed him on deportation.
She's gone on The View and attacked Donald Trump. I mean, she is following the well-worn path. And you know the rule, Dana. The easiest way to get on television in Washington, D.C. as a Republican is to crap on Trump and crap on your own party.
And that's what Marjorie Taylor Greene is doing right now after he has made her. She's nothing without Donald Trump, all because he tried to do her a favor and save her and the Republican Party from a humiliation in Georgia. That's it. She's become a policy and a political opponent of the president. And it's sad, and I wish she wouldn't.
But of course, we've seen a lot of Republicans do that over the years. We have. We have. The book is, I mean, this is great, especially for all the news today, a revolution of common sense. You're looking at the entire revolt against, I mean, really the swamp, everything happening in D.C.
I mean, you've looked at, you looked at deregulation, you looked at everything in this. And I think it's great to have not enough people spike the football. And you wrote a book where you did it.
So that's amazing. We needed to do that.
Well, the president used that phrase in his inaugural address in January, and I thought, boy, that'd make a great title for a book. I met with him in February. He decided to cooperate. I spent time with him. Marco Rubio, Scott Besson, Elon Musk has some eye-popping quotes in this thing.
You know, it's interesting. I've been planning my book tour. You know, there's a few places in America where you call and say, hey, we need to facilitate the purchase of a couple of hundred books for an event. Will you help us? And they won't do it.
And you know, it's funny, I hear liberals complain about book bans all the time. We've run into more than a handful of bookstores out there in some places that would not stock the Scott Jennings Donald Trump book. And so just know that some of the left out there, they don't want the truth out there. And the truth is, Donald Trump hit Washington before it got out of bed. 200 executive orders on day one, passed the big beautiful bill, eight peace agreements around the world.
He's having an amazing presidency. They're trying to tie him down on this Epstein garbage, but the guy's fulfilling the promises that he ran and won on last November. There you go. Scott Jennings, a revolution of common sense. Enjoy watching you on CNN.
You're the only person I will watch on CNN. Just saying that you're very entertaining. You do such a great job representing our values.

Japan's relations with China have sunk to a new low. They're experiencing their most intense diplomatic tensions in years. This after Beijing issued economic warnings in response by the new Japanese prime minister about a potential Taiwan conflict. And they had said previously any Chinese use of force against Taiwan could be considered a situation threatening Japan's survival.
So China doesn't like it when harsh language is used against them, but they want to be able to use harsh language against everyone else. I really feel like the Japanese prime minister will just take them and beat them about. Up and down their eastern seaboard, so maybe they don't want to do that. Just saying, just saying. But very interesting.
Very interesting, though. Beijing, they've been launching some broadsides against Japan in terms of their propaganda and their media narratives. Also, this is gross. Lab-grown milk is disgusting. If you have to drink lab-grown milk, you don't need milk.
Lab-grown milk? What is that? That's stupid. Can we just stop? Like, we have animals and protein and all of this stuff here.
We don't need to do all of these things. It's cow-free. This is gross. I don't even want to read this. Gross.
Who wants that? Thankfully, I don't think it's in the United States. I think it's India right now, but yeah. I don't care. Nobody wants it anywhere.
That's disgusting. I mean, I'm not even a milk drinker, and that's that. No. They said that it's, and it's going to be in Israel too. They're going to offer it in Israel.
They're offering it in India, Israel. They're offering it in several places. It is. Lab-grown energy. It's a food tech startup.
I don't like the terms food tech together. That's like robot food. That's what robots eat. I don't know. But they said that it's coffreed, 3% fat milk.
And they have a vanilla flavor version that's also going to be available under their new milk label Ball.
So I've grown fat. Yeah, nobody wants that. Wall Street in extreme fear as stocks plunge again amid fears of the world's biggest company. Might be a dud. This is coming from the Wall Street Journal and Daily Mail.
They had a lot of selling that hit Wall Street yesterday. A lot of people were hit by Dallas 1.2, SP 500. NASDAQ lost under just 1%. Bitcoin slid.
Well, I mean, the economy's bad. What else do we want me to say? It's a I mean since everybody was told Peter Thiel's fund offloaded NVIDIA The tech's so you think, is there going to be a bottom dropout in this? Yeah, just in the tech sector, from what I understand. AI's bubble is for real, and I think it's going to pop.
And we're already seeing the signs. Yeah. Yeah, we already yeah, exactly. I don't know. I just With some of that stuff, we had these two from yesterday, so I'm going to move on.
This, they said, and it does MBS is going to be at the White House. We have audio.
Well, we're going to talk about Trump lashing out at a reporter, and everybody's trying to get upset over that. As well. Also, WhatsApp has a security flaw that exposes three and a half billion phone numbers. A simple WhatsApp. I don't really, I don't use WhatsApp.
I only use WhatsApp when I'm like traveling overseas. And if I'm trying to like. Playing something.
So that's literally the only time I've ever used it. Because everybody over there in Europe uses WhatsApp. But they said that 3.5 billion phone numbers. were were exposed. Apparently it was like their biggest ever like security flaw their security breach there.
So Let's see here. Also, a wife of an astronaut pled guilty to falsely alleging a crime in space. Summer Warden lied to federal agents when she accused her spouse of illegally accessing her bank account from space.
So she faces up to five years in prison. and a half million dollar fine. Fine for that. She's an intelligence officer in the Air Force. And uh, I'm on from the article from the New York Times, it sounds like her spouse is a woman, so it seems like they're lesbians, but she said that the other lady accessed her bank account.
From space. Like illegally? Like that's I mean you're That's pretty hardcore. Little bit of faith no more. I feel like that right now when I, this is actually perfect, by the way.
Perfect track. For those of you watching, you can't hear it because of licensing, but for those listening terrestrially, you could hear it. Welcome back to the program. I try not to get into a lot of them. Like these new people that get online and they're like, politics began the day I started my X account.
And there have been people who I feel like this one guy looks like the Timu Matt Walsh. I don't know who this guy's. Joel Webb on. I don't even know. I don't want to say his name anymore because he's probably going to hyperventilate it.
He's getting 15 minutes. Gag me. But I cannot stand these tough dudes. when they're just for men beards. And I like facial hair, but you know what I mean?
You know, they're like manscape to the point where you're questioning their sexuality. And they get up and they try to lecture you about Christianity while not living it themselves, right? I don't Christians are imperfect, but I think if you're gonna call yourself a pastor. or try to be a shepherd. then you need to be more pr less imperfect than the next person, you know, or at least make an effort to be.
Okay. Anyway, I just ended up seeing this. It was a documentary. Documentary. It's basically.
A I don't know how to put this. There's no, I can't say that. I'm going through my, sorry, my mental Rolodex of how I want to describe it. And I can't describe it in any of the ways I was thinking, Kane, because none of them are appropriate for air. It's basically like uh some dudes sitting around and they're None of them have ever lifted weights, and they're all talking about how they're just so hardcore, and this is what Christian nationalism is.
And they're talking about Christian nationalism. And I saw this from the Babylon Bee. One of the guys over there, Joel Berry, said of Christopher Guest, and you know Christopher Guest, he's the guy. Who did best in show? Oh my gosh, what's the one that he did?
That's the spinal tap. He did spinal tap, best in show, which was hysterical. And Barry said: if Christopher Guest wrote a mockumentary making fun of Christian nationalists, he couldn't write something funnier than this.
Now, when I first saw this clip, And I really don't know who any of these people are. I thought it was satire. I am not kidding you. I. Thought.
Wow, somebody really clever. Is making fun of this like leftist identity politic movement within Christianity, and this is brilliant. I actually, I legitimately thought. That Babylon B did it. And then that's why Joel tweeted it out.
And I said, be real, you did this. And I actually kind of wasn't joking when I said that. And he was like, I hans this guy to not. He's like, I did not do this. He didn't say it like that, but he's like, I did not do this.
I'm like, this is real. And The way they talk is so pretentious and intellectually shallow, and I love making fun of people who try too hard. I'm just gonna play it for you. It's like 20 seconds, and it's the most cringe thing ever. Go ahead.
What do you see as the greatest threat? to Christian nationalism as it's as it's trying to Make it roots. Christians. Yeah. Hustle.
Christians are gay. Uh fake and gay, to be more precise. Christianity is a feminized religion. To be more precise, they're fake. And game.
To be more precise, words that One might say if you were round Burgundy and you were trying to Sound intelligent. And deep intellectually, to be precise, Kane. Dear sir. What is up? First off, the mixing on the audio of this, the films, is heinous.
Like, who did the audio for this film? Because they should be dragged behind a truck. Who did this? I say that rhetorically. But Like who's like, Yeah, let's play this like So like bad this bad acoustic underneath.
And then you what is up with the camera angle? You just have this one guy who's drowning in all this headroom. And he's like, so what? What do you think is the biggest threat? To Christianity today.
And then you have the Timu Walsh sitting over there.
