A common form of lung cancer accounts for 85% of all cases, and patients are living through every single day. Meanwhile, the conversation around it too often stops at the biology. In the Middle East, Iran is trying to get around a blockade, and the United States is taking control of the situation. In Florida, a man is accused of canceling his boss's flight tickets to Vegas by using her personal information. A Florida man was arrested after a truck with a toddler crashed into a Florida church playground. A Florida mayor was arrested for stealing 20 packages of sausage from a Walmart. A Florida man assaulted his mother with ice cream. A 13-year-old boy found royal Viking treasure on a German island, and archaeologists uncovered necklaces, pearls, rings, and 600 coins.

I want alien overlords. I want SECA State and everybody else to stop playing around with it. Tell us. Whether or not they exist, so we can get on with our sad, insignificant little lives. You know, I'm just saying, like, make it easy for us.

You know, are you guys all tired of dealing with Islamists? Are you guys tired of seeing the woke Reich welfare queens slap each other's veneers out of their faces? Are you tired of all of it? Because if you are, then welcome. This is a show for you.

You found your people. You found your tribe. It's us. Come and pull up a seat and let's hate on everything together in a very fun and edifying way, shall we? Did you have a nice weekend, Kane?

Sure. We're rejoining. Sure. So, yeah, I'm just saying. It never changes.

Give a damn juice today. It's you know, it hasn't it's not going to change probably for well, because we're gearing up not only the reason why we all feel like this is because we're going into a midterm cycle on top of dealing with all of this stuff. And it's made it even more insufferable, believe it or not. I mean, it's really, you don't have a choice, you gotta believe it.

So it's made everything even more insufferable.

So we have over the weekend Guess what? We still have. The Straight of our moves still have Iran trying to, they were trying to. Get some stuff in past that blockade, but it didn't really work out very well for them, I don't think. because Poe just said if they keep trying this stuff, it's gonna get even funner for them.

But he said they wanted to close it up. They're not going to blackmail us. That's what you just heard him say. They're not going to blackmail us into doing this. He says, you know, maybe I'm going to extend it.

Maybe the blockade's going to remain. I don't know. We're going to have to start dropping bombs. Bombs over Baghdad, man.

Well technically, you know.

So I don't know. Gas prices. Have peaked what we're hearing. Everybody's very upset over gas prices. Believe me, I also understand the issue with gas prices.

But I also think eh. If it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take these sketchy bastards off of the world stage, then I'm all for that. Because they've killed enough people, I think, right? I mean, our whole lives can have been because of. revolved around all of this.

So You This this Issue with the straight because we had a cargo ship that was trying to get past the blockade. This was happening over the weekend. And uh I d think that they need to realize do they know what a blockade is? I know we do. I mean, I know we do, but do they know what a blockade is?

Because they were trying to get past it. They were doing this yesterday. One of their cargo ships. Trying to run through the blockade in the strait. And he said, yeah, it was an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named the TO USKA.

I said 900 feet long, weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, try to get past the blockade. Dirt, dirt, dirt. It didn't go well. It didn't go well for them. This is so dumb.

Why even start why they had it? We had a destroyer there that intercepted them. Gave them fair warning. Their crew was stupid, wouldn't listen, so the Navy stopped them, blew a hole in their engine room. Marines have custody of the vessel.

I do not feel bad for Islamists who don't follow orders.

Next. I'm just tired of everybody wringing their hands over this. You realize this is the problem with most conflict. You have all these sensitive sissies that get involved.

Someone think of the Islamists and they beg and plead and then everything gets dragged on f forever and you have mission creep. That's ultimately what ends up happening. And I think we need to work on preventing that from happening now.

So I'm looking at, by the way, our social media team, Radio America, hired them. God love them. They want me to talk about all this book, right, nonsense. And I would rather literally choke to death on live camera than have to go through the sewer of the right and entertain everything like Russell Brand, who is literally the hair in a shower drain that's sentient. All of that, so I'm not going to bore you guys to death with all that stuff, Kane, because I think we'd all rather die.

I swear to God, and I'm not saying that, I'm literally pleading to God right now. Please make that stuff go away so it doesn't dominate our news cycle anymore. Because actual, intelligent people want to figure out what the hell's going on in their world. We don't care about broke grifters who have been run out of every venue on God's green earth to where they have to resign themselves to the stinkier parts of the podcast sphere so that they can peddle their cheap crystals and conspiracy theories. Please, dear heavens, for the love of all things holy, spare us.

Yeah. I think we got that out of the way. No, I want everything in the Middle East to get situated so that gas prices go down and we don't have to worry about the price of jet fuel. But I do love the fact that we have every tanker that's coming to the Gulf of America, refilling up and then going back out and circling the globe. I do like that because that's really, I mean, that's money for us.

We're getting a lot, I mean, that's cash money in our pockets.

Now, the IRGC, didn't they say that they had their gay one-legged Ayatollah, their misfigured gay, one-legged Ayatollah that just keeps adding, we just keep adding descriptors onto this. Didn't he had issued a statement that nobody paid attention to, and then they followed up with some Z-list IRGC scribe? Because they were trying to issue warnings to POTUS, which he immediately disregarded. I do think, too. They were saying that they were taking full control of the Iranian side.

Now, if you read the press, the press is telling you, my gosh. Poor little Iran, they're just totally decimated. And also, poor little Iran that we said were decimated a half second ago, completely control everything. And Trump is just so bad. I need them to pick a lane so we can, you know.

We can figure out which side of the team they're on, right? Which team they're on. I need them to pick a lane.

So now it's the IRGC, they have full control of the straight. Is that what they think? You remember how Bain laughed and said, oh, you think you're in charge, right? Because that's what we're doing right now to the IRGC. They well, they've taken control of the military.

They've always had control of the military.

Well, they j yeah, but they oh, and the negotiation team said analysts. Who are these genius analysts? It's always been IRGC. Do these people just wake up, scratch their backsides, and then determine that the sequence of events began when they developed consciousness? Seriously, this has always been this way.

They talk about a sudden hard line shift. They've always been hard line. Every one of them are hard line because they're a bunch of crazies. They're ideological nuts. They be they believe they're on a religious war.

They that's what they think this all is.

So where is this?

Well now there. They're, you know, they're hardliners. Yes, them and all their cross-side inbred soldiers. Yes, you know, the IRGC. Sure.

So They said that they had reached consensus with POTUS, which doesn't really seem that way. But we still have total control.

Now, in the meantime, Shreveport. I don't know if you watched or heard about this horribly sad story. A man killed. This AP says seven, but everywhere else says eight. They said eight children total.

This one says seven.

So Shreveport. A Louisiana father shot, yes, eight of his children, seven of his own.

So Sophie Bates and all these five people who it took to write this story, not a single one of you geniuses could get the headline correct. Geez, you guys deserve to be in a breadline. It's one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent years, and they're all siblings. Seven of them were siblings, and then there was an eighth child. Everybody, the kids ranged from ages three to 11 years old, and it's a horrifically sad story.

But what's even sadder is this guy was able to still do it, despite the fact that he was a repeat violent offender and a prohibited possessor, who was let out on probation after he shot up. A school. Is that not insane? He was on probation already.

So I I I just am shocked. But this is the way that the left works. He's a beneficiary of that restorative justice, if you know. The restorative justice that thinks, well, You know, the problem is that we're not nice enough to these. To these criminals, and we have to be nice.

We have to be nicer to them, and that will make them stop doing the crimes. But that's not necessarily the case. This guy, six years ago. he was accused of l of of Uh, well, in March, sorry, March 2019, three years after he was already on probation, he was arrested again for a charge of illegal use of weapons. He took a gun on school property and he fired five rounds at a car in the direction of the school as it sped away.

He pled guilty to the illegal weapons charge. He was placed on probation for 18 months, and then they just dismissed the other charges, and then later on that one. You see what I'm saying? The restorative justice that everyone says is going to get criminals to stop doing criminal activity is responsible for eight fatalities right now. Because these people thought they this is what I'm talking about the left acts like that they they talk such a great game about gun control, right?

Oh, let's just ban all the guns because see guns the inanimate object of a firearm that somehow transposes an evil quality on a person who possesses it and an ordinarily decent and good person once they are in possession of an inanimate object like a firearm the evil that quality immediately transfers to that person and they also become evil. This is what the left believes This is the stuff they believe. Because how else do you explain this? They talk about banning everything, but yet when you have these individuals who have violent records. They give them a slap on the wrist and let them go on their way.

The guy literally fired a g he was shooting at a school. And He was given probation. You know the prison term for this? He should have been in there for 10 to 15. Because he had violated the terms of his probation and the felonious criminal activity included an enhanced charge because he had a firearm on school property, which has been illegal for over 30 years.

Furthermore, he discharged said weapon recklessly, which you could then argue endangered the lives of all of the other children that were at the school, which could be an additional charge, all enhanced because it's on school grounds. And yet, what did they do? They gave him probation. and let him walk.

So, these people don't give a rat's ass about lives. Spare me your fake tears. Gavin Newsome goes out there and talks about gun violence. This guy, again, was already. Already?

Already. Suspect. He was already suspect. He was all ready. A violent record, a prohibited possessor.

What would you have done to make it illegal? If you don't have a ghost bed, you're sleeping on basically like a hobo pallet. I don't even know what to tell you. If you don't have a ghost bed, you're probably just, you might as well just sleep in a dirty street somewhere because your mattress is gross. Ghost bed is the only mattress worth sleeping on.

It's the bed of patriots. If it was around back when our founders were alive, they would have all slept on the ghost bed. It is just made differently. First off, they don't ghost bed, they're nerds. They don't build like mattresses like regular mattress companies do.

They build what they call engineered sleep systems.

So they treat them like health equipment designed for relief and recovery. It's not just like for floof, right? That's what you use your bed for. You spend a significant number of your life on this mattress resting and recovering.

So your body should be comfortable. You should not be tense. You should not be like overheating or waking up with aches. And if you're doing this, your mattress is trash and you need to immediately switch today. Ghostbed is made to help with all of these issues, support cooling, real comfort, so you can actually rest.

And you get to try it 101 nights in your home. And if you don't feel the difference, you can send the whole thing back. I mean, the whole mattress, risk-free. Send it back. If you don't like it, which you're going to like it.

So, if you guys, so my grandmother always watched Days of Our Lives, and then what was that other soap? It's a ridiculous name. The Bold and the Beautiful. They were bold and also beautiful. The intros were ridiculous.

Anyway, one of the dudes. That I remember being on Days of Our Lives. He was the Austin guy, he was like the love interest for. Two of the Chicks That were the lady who got possessed, her daughters. I don't know.

Anyway, he's dead. He's dead, 57 years old. He had a heart attack. He also was in, let's see, who's Save by the Belly did that. He was in Days of Our Lives.

That's where I remember seeing him. Starship Troopers. He was in Starship Troopers. He was the love interest for Denise Richards. And he has a crime thriller that was supposed to be out later this year.

So he's passed away. That's kind of sad. I mean 57? That's Like young now. You get on the peptides.

Probably vaccinated. I'm just going to say it out loud. Are you serious? Yeah. That's why you need peptides.

Everybody needs peptides.

So your peptides is gonna be the probiotics. Oh, dude, I'm ordering peptides. I ordered some already. You make fun of me with probiotics. I'm going to make fun of you.

Bacteria in a jar. I got headlines here. I got headlines. You know, the people need to know this stuff. All right.

Where were we at? For we were so rudely interrupted. I think I ended up losing my whole thing.

Okay, here we are.

So we're making fun of my peptides. We also have. Uh, Gatorade, they're making big changes. Less sugar, fewer dyes. Cool.

No objection. A skydiver was rescued after crashing into the Virginia Tech scoreboard. See? I feel like if God wanted us to jump out of planes, he would have physically made it to where we would have had that ability without having to strap on backpacks and all this. Crashed into the Lane Stadium scoreboard.

They said he was safely secured, currently stable. But that's, that's, it caused their start of their spring game to be delayed over an hour. Man, then it had to, you know how embarrassing that had to be for that dude? You're hanging on the scoreboard in front of a pack stadium. Yeah.

Let's see, over 5 million bees were discovered under New York Cemetery. Scientists think it's one of the largest populations ever. Uh, they better leave them alone to let them doing it. And then there was a truck in Knoxville that was carrying a million bees that crashed. I hope that bees are okay.

Because the bees, I mean, we keep hearing all these horror stories, and I just get, you know. But a truck carrying a load of bees crashed. The bees were escaped. They were swarming the area. They had to get beekeepers out there and try to get them all together and get them to safety.

And it was just a big, crazy mess. We have Stephen Yates coming up. Stick with us, our partners that bring you the program. It's the folks over at Chapter. Chapter wants to make your life easier.

They want to make your life easier and they want to make sure that you're not uh you're not overpaying for bad health care because with Medicare So apparently, when you're going to when it's time and you got to go sign up for that great government-run Medicare, you either go to the government site or you trust some rando insurance agent. And then typically, your plan doesn't cover Pretty much anything that you need, and uh, everybody's you know always very surprised when they're overpaying and undercovered. This is it's confusing on purpose, and that's how people end up in the wrong plan.

So, you really need to find somebody that is on your side, that can advocate for you and can walk you through this and remove the confusion. And that's what Chapter does. They don't sell you on like one or two companies, they are the only advisor that compares every Medicare plan across the country to find out what actually fits your doctors and your prescriptions and your budget. It's an honest translator for Medicare, they explain all of your options in plain English, they help you avoid plans that are great for insurance company profits but terrible for actual living people. And so, people who work with Chapter on average save about $1,100 a year on healthcare costs just by getting into the right plan.

Instead of just rolling with whatever was pushed at them, it's really fast and free. It's free and fast to talk to chapter. Like under 20 minutes, they can review your current options or answer questions if you're about to enroll.

So you know what you're picking and why. Take control of your Medicare, Dow, pound250 on your phone, and say the words, My Medicare. That's Pound250. Say the words, My Medicare, to get your options reviewed with Chapter. When I first heard the words, you have lung cancer.

We're at the bottom of the second hour, and you can listen coast to coast, watch terrestrially as well. You know, we were talking about one of those tankers that was turned away. That was a it and it was seized. There was an Iranian flag ship. And it was interesting because it's part of a fleet of ships that very frequently.

would visit China. Interesting, that, right? They would go through the Arabian Sea and they would go around the southernmost point of India, and then they ended up. in the South Sea and they would visit. China.

Very interesting that, Kane.

So it seemed like they were trying to get around the blockade. Huh, and that was the one that we seized in the Gulf of Oman. Ah. Look at that very important backer. It was described by the Wall Street Journal today Ron.

Joining us on this and others, our very good friends, Mr. Stevie Yates, Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, who served in not one, but two presidential administrations. And he joins us now from his torture den. As you can see, just on the other side of him, behind the camera, is the wall with the chains on it, that the bad people who promote commie stuff for China. That's where he keeps them.

I just only somewhat. Don't get me. It's good to see you, my friend. Thanks for joining us. This tanker, that was very brave of them to try to, they were testing, I guess, America's resolve with this blockade.

I don't think there's any other way for me to interpret it, but they were unsuccessful in doing so. Is that going to make China upset? What are they going to do if they get riled up over this? They were told. I mean, they were told nothing's coming through.

Well, China is expert at ignoring instructions at sea.

So they have some practice at trying to ignore the lines or make up their own lines. And they are also pretty perfect at when someone else draws a line of stepping over it. Just ask the Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, any number of others.

So this can't come as any surprise, but it also kind of highlights one of the big challenges. I remember 20 plus years ago when I was in the White House, there was a retired Navy captain working for me. He just left a heavy, heavy impression on me how much of our life. Is on the high seas, and those of us land-dwelling animals don't really have any sense of it. And the rules are very different.

And so there's lots of flags of convenience: vessels that belong to particular people, but they have another country's flag for whatever purpose.

So this one was flagged for Iran for whatever reason, but obviously had some other affiliations, shall we say. Oh, good news is that just like a traffic cop, if you don't follow the instructions, you have the opportunity to de-escalate. And if you don't, I guess the president announced to the world you get a five-inch hole in your hull. Yeah, exactly. That it's well, and I mean, we can't really do anything.

We seized it, we took operation, we took control of it. Actually, yeah, we did. We blew a hole in their engine room, I think is what POTUS said. And then the Marines took possession of it.

So they, I mean, if China needs gas and oil, They can just bring their tinker through to the Gulf of America and they can buy it at market price just like everybody else, or they can go and get it that thick crude in Venezuela. But they need to get it at market price, just like everyone else. Although, personally, I think, you know, see, because they were trying to sell, I guess, some more of their anti-radar junk. To the gay, one-legged, misfigured, disfigured Ayatollah that's in Iran. I feel like we should just be, no, you can come through this, but you're gonna have to pay a toll, and only you are gonna pay a toll.

And then, if you wanna come in the Gulf of America, you have to pay a toll because they essentially do the same thing in reverse.

So, I just feel like turnabout's fair play. I think reciprocity is an underappreciated principle.

Some people might even call it the golden rule.

So, if they are going to treat other people a particular way, then they should expect to have reciprocal treatment, get the same treatment back to them. I think that they like the golden rule so much that Confucius even reversed it and put it into a fortune cookie.

So, it has to be true. I noticed as well that Spain keeps inching closer and closer to China. You would think that. After seeing China humiliated as part of the op in Venezuela. As well as seeing them kind of put in their place with the Panama Canal and these other choke points around the world.

that maybe they would have thought twice, especially after they see the disaster that comes from all this Belt and Road initiative nonsense and the equipment that they gave in as well. Any country that relies on any kind of operational anything from China, it always backfires and it just doesn't perform or doesn't work at all. But yet Sanchez is still inching closer and closer to Beijing, even backing a role for them in the Middle East, which China doesn't need to be involved in this. They keep acting like they're a part of this multipolar world when it's still American dominated. What does that tell?

I mean, first off, how long is that going to last? Because I feel like, you know, Sanchez. I mean, Spain is lost, it seems. Spain is, I think, the most far-left country in all of Europe, perhaps. What does this mean for the United States?

And are we ever going to should we ever anticipate them trying to control that Strait of Gibraltar the way that they've tried to Panama and elsewhere?

Well, they can try. I think that the lessons of Venezuela and Iran are: you can try. And the United States, sort of like a cat with a mouse in its paw, might play around a little bit, might try to see how everyone else reacts when they see what's happening to the mouse. But I think the United States is proving that when push comes to shove, we're going to make sure that we have access to what we need. We have the best technology, we have the best capability, we have the best trained forces.

And really, it's just a question of when and how the president and the military leadership choose to deploy them. We have delayed establishing freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz for reasons I don't completely pretend to understand because we could have just made this, I think, clean from the get-go at a minimum two weeks after major military operations. I think the president has tried to make a wider point about the fecklessness of some of our European air quote allies who weren't behaving like allies. And then they have meetings where they make arrogant statements that they can't back up. And so I think that there's a realignment of geopolitics that he's trying to accomplish in this, a realignment of energy flows that he's trying to accomplish in this.

And maybe that's why it really didn't matter as much to him to get it open urgently. But I think global markets are making it imperative. It's got to get going now. But the fecklessness of old Europe, I mean, look, we've got a neighbor to our north that's playing around about, should I dance with China? These are all people who are not wedded to outcomes.

They're wedded to virtue signaling and fake churches. It seems spiteful. Like they're doing this out of spite.

Well, the United States is showing that it's too powerful.

So we need to try, let's align with China. I mean, I just don't know how they think that that's in their nation's best. Interests, whether it's Mark Carney in Canada, whether it's Sanchez in Spain. I mean, you even have France, Emmanuel Macron.

Some people say that's because Trump overplayed his hand, but I don't think it has to do with Trump overplaying his hand at all. I mean, I think it's just exposing the communist rot in these countries. It absolutely is. And even if President Trump had overplayed his hand, what is overplaying your hand more than saying that climate change is the number one threat to national security and mankind? That somehow we're afraid that in 100 years the waters may go up a few inches and we're going to lose shoreline while you allow your industries to get hollowed out.

You have no military. You get together and you blather in Brussels, but you're not really shaping world events. And then when big things happen, you're sidelined. Then you go cry in the corner that somehow you weren't consulted. But consulted about what?

You've made yourself a completely empty suit. And that, I think, is actually a threat to humanity because you used to matter. And we had privileged relationships where people can access us by way of you. And that's what's going to have to change. We're not going to be able to have the same permissive intelligence relationships.

We're not going to be able to have the same defense relationships if they won't get right on immigration and national security and about being serious. About taking care of their own responsibilities and some of the global responsibilities. It's what they used to do, but they've long since forgotten it. We're talking with our friend Steve Yates. If you're just joining us at Steve Yates on X, I wanted to ask you the last thing about this.

port in Peru that Apparently, it was a dual usage port. And now Trump has said that we're, well, at least per congressional member, that Trump is going to help Peru take this port back. I was not even aware that they had lost a port or that China had kind of hijacked it. What happened here? That's one of those things where China goes in and offers a lot of capital, infrastructure build out, and then they seek some privileged market access.

And there's two layers of it: one is just the control over the port, and there are some serious resources. The other is all of those fishing vessels that people forget can go pretty far from China's shorelines. And on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coast of Latin America, there are thousands and thousands of fishing vessels that may or may not have dual use, also. And every once in a while, they form straight-line barriers, just accidental-like. They form a straight-line barrier, which serves somewhat of a military security function.

So they actually are taking control of waterways that Japan, Korea, and others might otherwise need to rely upon. And it's the same old story where they get an advantage for themselves, but the locals don't tend to profit. From these investments.

So some people in Peru and elsewhere are starting to get buyers' remorse. I think the United States is now planting the flag that we're serious about our own hemisphere. And I think that's a welcome move. I hope that our allies in East Asia and the Gulf We'll lend some capital to balance out China's non-market financing and other kinds of moves that are complicating here. But this is a step in the right direction: A, awareness, and B, that something's going to be done about it.

Yeah, well, I'm thankful that something is going to be done about it. I mean, just the way that this and some of these other, like Panama and some of these other choke points, the way that previous administrations allowed it to drag out and allow them to grow and assume control and over-influence the areas really. It's pretty shocking. Steve Yates, who always is up to date on this, is why you should follow him on social media. Always a pleasure, my friend.

So good to see you. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you, Dana. Take good care. You too.

I was in shock. This week on a special episode of Health Discovered. We're taking a closer look at a common form of lung cancer that accounts for 85% of all cases. And Janet Freeman Daly. And I've been living with non-small cell lung cancer since 2011.

Non-small cell lung cancer. It's a diagnosis that changes everything, and yet the conversation around it too often stops at the biology. and misses what patients are actually living through every single day. There are some things you used to be able to do that you can't do anymore. It's easy to become depressed when you're dealing with all those losses.

So mental health plays a really big role.

So uh Florida, man. We were looking on X. Apparently, X unfollowed everybody for us over the break. Kane and I had unfollowed Yates, had unfollowed Kane, everybody.

So I apparently just unfollowed like. A big chunk of people.

So, we're going to try to figure some stuff out in the meantime. We got Florida, man. This might be the most normal part of our day.

Okay, I. Florida woman Amber sent me this story and I'm not reading it, Kane. I'm not doing it. You know why? You know why?

I'm going to just. This is why. I swear this woman sends me. The craziest just Wait, no, that's not the right one. They s she sends me the craziest stories.

This one is a very inappropriate of a sexual nature, but it's so horrific. There it is. Yeah, I can't we can't do that one, but that's probably one of the crazi Yeah, one of the crazier ones. She does this, I think, just to see if I will read it. A Florida man is accused of canceling his boss's flight tickets to Vegas.

by using her personal information. That's a level of petty. Vero Beach, Florida man. That's a level of petty to which I. I uh I don't think it's legal.

I don't think that's legal. No, they. He canceled his boss's flight tickets to Vegas by using her personal information. He was arrested on allegations of using it without her permission. Isaac.

Finsick, 29, was arrested, charged with criminal use of personal identification, et cetera, et cetera. Why did you do it? She said she arrived at the airport with three other employees and discovered an email from her carrier that said the itinerary had been canceled. And she said she did not authorize it. She went back and forth, and he finally admitted to canceling the flight and said, I apologize for the extreme lapse and judgment, which he spelled incorrectly.

And we'll ensure nothing like this happens again. Yeah, I don't think so.

So they apparently he was mad at her. And I mean, that's what came out, and he did it as a way to. I guess get back at her. Which is I mean, don't be surprised when you get fired as a result of that. Let's see.

A Florida man was arrested after a truck with a toddler crashed into a Florida church playground. Why do people do this stuff? He looks a little out of it in his mugshot. It was a Florida church playground pulling this up.

Now everything's acting, is running slow. Yeah. This is Punagorda, Florida, WFLA, the 29-year-old Nathan Faust III. His last name is Faust. Dropping off two kids, ages two and three, at the Church of the Good Shepherd.

He got out of the truck with the three-year-old to walk her into the school, leaving the two-year-old alone in the vehicle, restrained only by a seatbelt. Yeah, you gotta have like a car seat. Or a booster seat, or something like that. And anyway, the kid was able to climb around, and that's ended up what I've lost the story because everything froze.

Well, what happened was he so he had two small kids, like one was two and one was three. He was dropping the three-year-old off. And when he was out of the car walking the three-year-old, he apparently didn't put this car in park.

So he just lets him. He left the kid in there, and the car rolled into a ditch there on the property of the school. of that daycare and he um Took off. He got in, took the other kid into the school, went back to the crashed car, which was in the ditch, and then he drove off. And then it's like, wait a minute, you didn't even stop.

You didn't even say, hey, look, I got a little property damage here, guys. Let's take care of this. Nothing. He drove right off. Yeah, just drove right off.

This is. Ha ha ha ha. A Florida mayor was arrested for stealing 20 packages of sausage from a Walmart. And clear water? The total value was over $100.

Of all the things that people choose to go to jail over, like, why are you in here? Sausages. Deputies say that Kente Jenkins, 43, entered the. Like Leroy, entered the store with an empty cart, a backpack on the lower rack, and apparently loaded it up with sausage before moving out of the scope of the surveillance cameras. Then he reappeared wearing the backpack and exited without pain.

He sped away. on a bicycle. Yeah. He got he was arrested for petty theft and trespassing. Don't they have loss prevention?

Although, what is it? Like, if they steal a package of like meat or something like that, you don't really, you can't really put that back on the shelf at that point. You know, there are some grocery stores that are putting their meat behind these like locked things. You know, like you see at Walgreens where you can't get any deodorant. You have to ask somebody to unlock the thing for you.

Yeah, and I don't understand that. Like, how are you going to do that with like meat now? Basic everyday things. Remember, we used we had it so good. We had it so good.

And no, that's what they took from us. They did. We also had a Florida man who was apparently arrested. He assaulted his mother with ice cream. Yeah.

Um Margate Police, Darryl Haste Hasty, Hasty, 62, domestic incident. Police say an argument between the two turned physical, and he grabbed the victim, shook her, forced her into the bedroom, and then he got a fudge pop and apparently beat her face with the fudge pop and smeared said fudge pop literally all over her face. When the police arrived, they astutely noted that she had chocolate all over her face from said fudge pop.

So he was already served with a protection order, so he violated that and he was taken to the Broward County Main Jail. Of all the things. Was that a. Was that a Bill Cosby endorsed Jell-O-Pop? Ooh, that makes it even weirder if it were.

Yeah, it's not. Folks, I knew that I had turned into an adult when I got excited about laundry detergent. I didn't think I was actually going to get excited about laundry products, but here we are.

So I don't know if you've heard of laundry sauce. This is legit what I use. And I have this one. They sent me because I've been purchasing this for several years now on my own. And the French saffron is like my absolute favorite.

The bergamot is so good. And I love that I don't have to think about any of it. The smell alone is next level. I mean, this is one.

So this is the Indonesian patchouli. And at first, I was like, I don't want to smell like a hippie. But then I open the box and it's amazing. Look how bougie this is, too, by the way. Kane, have you smelled this?

I have it. Do you want to eat one? I'm kidding. Oh, gosh. Oh It smells so good!

This is like what clean is supposed to smell like, and everything is so soft and it's so nice. I have eczema, and I have no problems in using any of their stuff. But here's like what really sold me. I mean, first off, you have these pre-measured pods, right, that you just saw, one and done. There's no guessing with it, but also, um, I really like the scent-boosting chips that they have.

And you can get it in the Australian sandalwood, the Italian bergamot, the Egyptian rose, French saffron. I mean, clean, warm. It's just the greatest scent ever. But, like I said, you don't have to overthink any of it. The pre-measured pods, the scent chips, there's no mess, no guessing.

It's super easy. And they have all of these extras with it. I mean, you have the dryer sheets, you have, like I said, the scent boosters, the liquid fabric softener, and your clothes feel incredible. And the dryer sheets, Which I have here, they just lock absolutely everything in. I mean, it smells clean and soft, and that you actually care about your laundry.

All the guests at my house, they love the way everything smells. And I know I'm not the only one, by the way, because apparently 90% of people feel the same way after they switch to laundry sauce.

Now, here's the deal: laundry sauce just landed in Target, or you can say Target. You can find it in select stores, or you can do what I do and grab everything online, including the boosters and the conditioner and more.

Swish, swish, swish. I'll do this. Like Barack Obama actually didn't know that song if you looked at him for a hot second. There's like a. A moment where he was like, now what comes up for Swish?

Oh, swish. That's uh Barack Obama and his protege Ma'am Donnie. They were singing the wheels on the bus. Uh-huh. But Bus.

Is that a that's not the free bus that he. No, no, no, it's not the free bus. He lied about that. That was just to get these rubes to vote for him. I don't feel bad for anybody who was like, Well, I thought all the free stuff that he said.

I mean, I can't believe it. I voted for the Leopards Eating Faces Party, and I can't believe these leopards just busted in my house and ate my face. They're very shocked by this. The the guys were making the point to me that Mamdani also visited with the Mets, the Mets players, and they haven't won a game since. He apparently Mr.

and Mrs. Met. Hugged Man Mam Danny. And he just ruined them.

Now the team is never going to, they can't win. Here it is. Oh my gosh, and they're cursed. From that moment, that very moment there. Yeah, that was it.

That was a matter of time. Not a win yet. 11 losses in a row so far. It's because the ma'am Danny. because he absolutely ruined it.

So that's why.

So he met with them, and now they're not winning anything because he put that commie stank up on them. And Now they all got that commie stank and they can't be winning. Mm-mm. It's a heavy, musky thing. Yeah, so very accurate.

So yeah. What did you say? His bus doesn't even have any wheels. The wheels on the bus on free bus. What was the point of him even what was the point of them in the classroom together?

Oh, I think it's about image. They're trying to rehabilitate him. Barack Obama being there with Ma'am Donnie shows everyone that Democrats love them some socialism. That's an endorsement. That's where the party is.

And Barack Obama's just happy. He can be like, oh my gosh, now I can stop pretending that I'm not a commie. Oh man. Try I did it for so long, even though we all knew better.

So now he's with the guy who he enabled to just be straight up, yes, I love socialism. In fact, that's actually what he said. Cut twenty. He's like, Yes, I believe it even in more than I ever did. What what?

Yeah, that's what he says. This is cut 20. Do you still believe in democratic socialism? Do you still think it can be effective? I believe in it even more than I did the day before.

Why? How? When? When is it? What did it?

What worked about it that made him think, wow, it's better than I thought? Was it when he was unable to fulfill his free bus, school, all this other stuff? Because he wasn't able to fulfill it because he's he's broke. They're all broke. I'm just curious.

Well, yes, I believe in it. That's a just a dumb Yeah. That's that's a dumb that's dumb. I have no words for it. I believe in socialism even more than I did the day before.

Great. I you know, might as b uh So it's going off a cliff, is what they said.

So, Democrats, this is who they are. I love how they try to go, no, we're not like that. But, yes, also, here's the San Piker, we're friends. Just love that journey with them. By the way, that Democrat Senate candidate, there's another one campaigning with this guy.

We've got a lot of stuff yet to hit. Don't go anywhere because we're hating on everybody today. Stick with us. All right, folks.

So I want to tell you about something that actually works. This is the world's number one expanding garden hose and their newest upgrade. It's the pocket hose ballistic. I like anything that has the word ballistic after it. I don't have time for cheap, stupid equipment that fails after one season.

I am done fighting with it. I'm done with the kinks, Eric Swalwell. I'm done with the tangles. I'm done with the leaks. I'm done with all of it.

It's a waste of money. It's enraging.

So that's why.

The pocket hose ballistic, that's why you need to have this thing because it's built different. I could beat somebody to death with this. It's made, it's reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer.

Now, you don't know what that is, but you do know what it's been used in before: bulletproof vests.

So, that means, my friends, the strength is real, real durability, no nonsense. It's not going to mess up your garden, it's not going to like tie a knot around you. If you're tired of replacing your cheap hose every year, this is your fix. The ballistic is lightweight, it's super easy to handle. And I like what comes with it.

It comes with the pocket pivot.

So, no more fighting the spigot. And ladies, it's gold. Where it moves, you move, you move, it moves. It's so simple, it's smart, you're done. For a limited time, when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you're going to get that free.

You see it right here: 360-degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. Just text Dana to 6430s. That's Dana to 64000 for your two free gifts with purchase. message and data rates may apply. When I first heard the words, you have lung cancer.

Terms apply. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

This is actually pretty awesome. This uh 13 year old boy. Was just in his back, was like on this quiet little German island with his little metal detector. And apparently, he stumbled upon royal treasure. This is crazy, this story.

Royal Viking treasure, by the way, it led to a full archaeological dig, and there were a number of artifacts that they could link to: King Harold Bluetooth Gormson. That's That's some.

So I'm always curious as what the protocol is with that. If you find this, I'm all finders keepers. Yeah. Does he have to give it up somewhere? Like, if it's if he's on a German island, does Germany take control of it?

Like, how does that work? Good question, but I like the finders' keepers thing. I want to keep the finders' keepers thing. Yeah, they said that the artifacts they can link them to this famous Viking king, this Bluetooth, this herald Bluetooth Gormson guy. And it's uh Viking silver, a whole bunch of stuff.

Oh, I mean, medieval treasure. They found, listen to this: archaeologists uncovered necklaces, pearls, rings, 600 coins. The oldest coin is a Damascus dirham that's real that's dated to 714. Oh, wow. And a penny from 983.

Wow. That's insane.

So 100 specifically date two of those coins from 958 to 986. AD. I don't say common era because that's why it was a racing crisis out of it. Thousand-year-old coins plus. Yeah, that's.

That's pretty insane. And they have a picture of all of it. I mean that's Of what they were able to get so far. They think there's more.

So that, I wonder if he gets anything. Like, does he get. I'm just curious.

Again, finders, keepers. He did the work. He found it, right? I don't know. It feels like that's how the rules should be.

Do you remember when the media were complaining about lobster? I thought about this over the weekend when I saw this story.

So, uh. Both DOD, CENTCOM, everyone said that this was Fake. But they were trying to say that the U.S. military was serving poor food to their sailors. And they were show, I mean, we're like the stuff that they were showing, they were saying that they were rationing and it was on the USS Tripoli, and it was a lunch tray that contained shredded meat.

And literally, like a little tortilla, and then one had just like a gray slab of meat. I don't know. But they said that it was it was a fake story. That they denied, they said, no, they're getting exactly exactly all of the nutritional requirements that they need, etc. This is not real.

Makes sense that it's fake. And the media had no problem jumping right on it and playing both sides of the state.

Well, and it's like they were mad when they found out that they were getting lobster and steak before they were going in the, you know, what? And then now they're mad because I don't know, like, pick what you're going to be mad about every damn day. These, it's the left, right? Let's see. A Chinese man lived for eight years with a chopstick stuck in his throat and he resisted surgery due to fear.

I don't know, this comes from a communist newspaper, so I don't know if I believe it, but it's China, so anything weird and like, you know. Wizard and potions as it relates to healthcare. That seems right. Cruise passengers witnessed a terrifying rescue at sea. As a stranded man and his cat were pulled from a failing sailboat.

He had been drifting for days. before the cruise ship.

Now what kind of cruise ship was it? Oh, it was a carnival cruise ship. Invisible. Would you rather stay on the boat? And just drift.

The distress signals, the Carnival cruise ship caught the the distress signals and the crew members noticed the emergency flares as they were sailing a Caribbean itinerary, said they deployed uh send out a little tender to bring the guy and his cat to safety. And they said they were doing well.

So they get. I wonder if they get like meals and stuff on the cruise. I'm just curious.
