Hot take! You can disagree with someone and not hate them. I know, really groundbreaking stuff. But lately, that line seems blurry because hate is rising across communities in all kinds of ways, and Jewish communities are getting a lot of it right now. You don't have to agree with people, you just have to not be awful.
The Blue Square is a simple way to say, I'm with you, and I don't tolerate hate of any kind. Go to bluesquarealliance.org, get a pin, share it, and stand up. Welcome to the program. Uh all right, so I wanted to play a couple of things for you. Where to start?
Because We've got The fight's over. I really don't want to get into the woke Reich stuff again. I don't want to talk about 60-year-old ex-Fox people trying to make a go of it in the podcast realm by. Uh hating Jews for clicks. And that's kind of what it is, right?
Sponsored by Insure and Internet Explorer. It's another episode about to Jews. Starring Tucker Carlson and Podcastistan. Who else are you gonna get? Two guys who have been accused by a ton of women of sex trafficking.
who are going to trial. And then let's talk to this guy who just wrote a book about Christianity with that cusses, and he's actually again going to trial for sexual assault. And he sells crystals, and he has a cross made of insects on the cover of his book. I mean, But you know why we talk about it? Because they're fighting to control the rudder of the right.
That's what it is. That's why we talk about it. That's why we you know that's why we whole thing that we that's why we do it.
So I guess let's just this is so insane. We uh went on Tucker Carlson's show. And I don't dislike Thomas Massey at all. Um I didn't until he started getting real fruity. I mean, I supported him against Trump.
For a long time, as Kane knows, Massey came on the show a lot. Every time, and Massey would ask to come on the show all the time, and we always had him on. And I don't know if it was because, you know, he lost his wife and he's having a midlife crisis. I don't know. But I don't really know if I want to play, do I want to play any of this?
Because he went on Carlson's show and they were repeating the stupid hoax. about the Epstein files because Marjorie trailer green. Insists that Trump threatened her over the Epstein files, which literally never happened. I don't know why we're believing, you know, some lady who, some female, don't want to sully the good title of lady. I don't know why we're believing some female.
Who I mean, I'm assuming it's insider trading. You go in with what, $70,000 to your name, and you walk out with $25 million, and you're trying to make everyone believe it's just because you're that good at trading, which no one believes that. Because then, why did you wait to only do it when you got into Congress? And then, two days after her pension vested, she left. Uh so she made her money off of all the rubes.
And she got mad because She wanted to run for Senate, and POTUS said, Nah, you're not going to win. Look at all the internal polling. You're not going to win this. And that really upset her feels. And so she's been having a tantrum about it the entire time.
So I don't know. I mean, I guess we should be happy because it's like finally, although they did talk about the Jews. No, what? What? I mean, but it wasn't the whole focus of his show for once.
It was like maybe half of it.
So that was like the most that he hasn't talked about to Jews since he started his program. Go ahead and play Cut 13. Golly, it's a slow news day. Why not? Thanks.
He was he said to me, he said, you're moving too fast for me. Like he couldn't keep up. There was only one of him. And I was moving around and getting people to put their names on it and getting people not to take their names off. By the way, I have to give credit to the three.
Absolute three bravest. There's nobody. If I go back to Congress next week and somebody comes up to me and says, I saw you on Tucker Carlson and you didn't say I was brave, I'll say, too bad because you weren't. There's three women, Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert signed their names on that discharge petition. And all now, Lauren, I think, can be kind of a wild, a loose cannon.
But Nancy Mace, I just think is funny. She's the lady who went on the floor of the house and ran her mouth about her ex-boyfriend during a breakup. Because if you do that, you can't be sued. You can't be held liable for defamation or for slander because you're protected on the floor of the house.
So she went on the floor of the house and ran her mouth about her ex. Said all kinds of stuff about him, where probably in any other context or in any other place he would have sued her. They had a big, that's the one that she told the Christian group that she just fornicated with the morning that she went to speak to all of them. And she was the one who wore literally the scarlet letter because it was a tight shirt and she wanted to show. I mean, let's be real.
I don't dislike Nancy Mays, but don't act like you're not trifling. All right, let's not. Let's not do it. Uh but For him, like he's talking about green. And Green's just trying to get her licks in.
So she's going on MSNBC all the time, going on CNN all the time. She's just, she's on a vengeance tour. She is like a scorned female. She's not bunny boiler level yet.
So, but she'll be getting there probably soon. She's just mad because she wasn't given a Senate seat. She didn't want an election, she wanted a coronation. She wanted Trump to give that seat to her. They gotta remember her district.
She did. She didn't really do a whole hell of a lot to turn people out of her district. I mean, she had some one of the lowest of all the solid red districts, her district in Georgia had one of the lowest turnout rates, which I just think is inexcusable if you're a fire brand. But No, that's the truth of it.
So I just thought it was interesting. Massey was saying that the White House was persecuting him. Trump and Massey disagreed on a lot of stuff, and they've agreed on a lot of stuff. But what's weird is that I think now he feels, Massey feels like he has allies against POTUS. And so he's really leaning into that because whenever he's disagreed with Trump before, and some of it was on legitimate things, some of them were not.
I mean, he is fallible just like everybody else. But I he didn't really have a lot of support before because Green had her lips surgically implanted onto Trump's butt cheek. She did. She's an ass kisser. And then when when you but she wants a return on the investment of her lips.
So, when you don't give her the Senate seat that she wants, she's going to go full-on ham at you. She's gonna show you what too much moonshine looks like.
So And that's what you're seeing right now.
So he is looking for allies, and he wants allies because he's tired of feeling like he's been alone. On some of these things.
So he's, he's, I don't know, I just think that there's a lot of stuff that he's gone through in the past year. Past couple of years. And that's kind of you're kind of sort of seeing that. Because he's Really leaning into this. Like he was defending What's Her Face?
Miss Sextape California. What is it? OnlyFans Pre-Gene? Yeah. Who lost her crown because she made a bunch of sex tapes?
as it was reported, and got that you can't do that and be a beauty queen.
So and then she tried to act like they came at me because I'm a Christian. That's not why they came at you. They had no problem with you. I mean, Trump owned the damn organization for crying out loud.
So he leaned into that and started defending her. And she's out there saying, like, she's legit bunny boiler level. And he's out there defending that stupid woke-reich nonsense.
So I don't know. Now he's found the woke right. He's finally, you know, I think settled in. He has some teammates and he feels braver now as a result of that. That's why he's leaning in so much.
It's very weird to see. TDS, because I've disagreed with Trump on issues, but I'm not a moron and I don't get TDS because that's what morons get. And I'm not going to offer any more of an analysis of it than just simply call it moronic because these people don't put any more effort into what they do.
So why should I put any more effort in describing it when just the basest word will do, right? That suffices.
So I don't know. It was weird to hear their conversation. A lot of it centered on Iran and how Iran basically, if you listen to the podcast, Distambrose, Kane, Iran was just this happy little country. living its life, right? living its life.
Not doing anything to nobody, lottie daddy. Irwan came to party, ain't got no beef, they ain't hurting nobody. That's... Yeah. Say, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That country, you know. I mean, sure, they throw some gays off rooftops, but I mean, you know, who among us? I mean, not us actually, but you know what I mean. I mean, sure, they send out. The morality police, like quite literally.
I mean, heaven forbid you show an ankle. That may may make some backward Islamist think of vagina.
So, you know, can't show an ankle.
So they gotta arrest you and take you to the pokey. You gotta get going. I'm not kidding you. That's, you know, blowing up our soldiers, yeah, you know, taking hostages in embassies, yeah, you know, funding Hezbollah, funding Hamas, funding the Houthis. I mean, you know, but other than all of that.
Just living their best life, man, you know? And now look, they've got a gay, one-legged. Effeminate, possibly dead. Supreme Leader. We don't really know.
Nay, nobody seen him. But They were living there, they weren't hurting anybody. Why we couldn't have been best friends with them, it's clearly all of our fault, right? That is the analysis. I saved you a click.
I saved you. You know, they'll take f four hours talking about this stupid stuff. I saved it for you. I saved you some time. Thank you.
You're welcome. But it's like listening to the left when they drone on and on and on about it. They're doomers and they're trying to scare you into thinking, oh my gosh, it's so bad. Really? Is that why now the petrodollar, now why our currency is the currency that's sitting in more banks around the world?
Is it that's why more countries are using our currency? We utterly destroyed China's move. We utterly destroyed BRICS. We boxed them out of all of the choke points. Are you kidding me?
Because I feel like you have to be ignorant of all of these indisputable facts in order to claim this narrative. I get it. People are mad at Trump because he didn't do what you wanted him to do. Right? You wanted him to, you have your one issue that you wanted him to do something on.
Well, you know, get in line, Buckaroos, because I've had issues that I would love for him to do things on. And he's done some things on some issues and hasn't done things on other issues. But I'm not going to go and enable a Marxist to get into office or Marxists in midterms because I'm going to stupidly take my ball and go home because I'm an idiot on strategy. Good heavens But their strategy isn't your strategy. It's not our strategy.
Our strategy is love of country. Our strategy is making sure that the Republic is preserved and that we are, I mean, it's an incremental fight, and it's a fight that you always have to have. People, Republicans stupidly think, oh, we won high fives, let's go. No, and they give up after that. They quit and they go home.
The left is relentless. And every 10 years, you have a new generation that's coming to vote. And the left is relentless. You have to always, always, always, always be as equally relentless. in in fighting to preserve the republic.
So that's our strategy. Their strategy. is to try to make up for the income that they lost from Fox. That's their strategy. They got to shake down sponsor dollars.
They got to shake down investment dollars. And you got to show investments, you got to show, look how many clicks we're getting. That's why they incorporated stupid X views as a way to inflate that. The same way that gun control people will literally incorporate common crime that happens blocks away and then label it a school shooting so they can get those numbers up. Right?
I mean, that's what they're doing. They're trying to make up for their loss of Fox revenue because Fox pays their host millions of dollars.
So they're trying to make that up. That's what this is.
So their strategy and their end goal isn't the same as yours. We got a lot on the way as we move. We got headlines coming up. Our partners that help bring you the program, they're on a mission. To save lives, 1,000 ultrasounds by Mother's Day.
That's just this weekend, ladies and gentlemen. Pre-born wants to reach their goal of 1,000 life-saving ultrasounds before Mother's Day. Each one could be the moment a heartbeat changes everything, and it's very easy to donate. Just visit preborn.com/slash Dana or dial pound250. Say the keyword baby, because when a mother who is facing an unplanned pregnancy hears her baby's heartbeat, that chance, if she's considering abortion, the chance that baby has at life doubles upon that moment when she hears the heartbeat.
And you know how much it is to run an ultrasound machine, to have a tech, to have somebody do that? $28. $28 is all it takes for you to work with pre-born and save a life. That is the best $28 you will ever spend. You're saving not just a life, you're saving a legacy, you're saving a family.
And who knows what you're saving for all of us in the future. In addition to that, because Pre-Born has saved over 80,000 lives just last year alone, they also stand as the gospel leader of the pro-life movement. Last year, over 10,000 women gave their hearts to Christ. They have a passion for saving babies and ladies.
So join Preborn in their mission to sponsor 1,000 life-saving ultrasounds before Mother's Day because one heartbeat can change a life forever. Visit preborn.com/slash Dana or donate by dialing pound250 and say the word baby. It's preborn.com/slash Dana. Dial pound250, say the word baby. One thing about the locker room, it's a mix of everything.
Different races, religions, backgrounds, opinions, all of it. And yeah, you argue, you joke around, you disagree constantly. But when it actually matters, you've got each other's backs. No question. That's just being a good teammate.
And honestly, that shouldn't stop when the game ends. But right now, hate is rising across communities in different ways. And Jewish communities are getting hit hard by it. And hate doesn't stay in one place. It spreads.
So this isn't about agreeing on everything. It's just about showing up for people. The blue square is a simple way to do that. Just saying, yeah, I'm not cool with hate. Go to bluesquarealliance.org.
Grab one, share it. It's not complicated. Just be the kind of teammate you'd want in your corner. Your social media feed says eat more protein, track your sleep, boost your VO2 max, wake up and cold plunge, cleanse yourself of parasites. You're intrigued but confused.
So where can you turn? Welcome to Health vs. Hype, the show where we take the loudest wellness trends on the internet and ask the questions only science can answer. What's real, what's exaggerated, and what is completely wrong. I'm Trace Dominguez.
Each episode, we show the science behind viral health claims, from high-protein diets to cold plunges, detoxing to sleep tech obsession. And we talk to the people in the middle of it all: influencers, the curious, but more importantly, doctors and researchers. Not to cancel the trend, not to hype it more, but to understand it. Listen to Health vs. Hype with the American Medical Association on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Slow the scroll. Start asking better questions.
So we're getting you set up for the weekend. Nothing really of importance happened today. Caroline Lovitt had her baby and Marco Rubio gave the Pope a crystal football. I'm not kidding. Oh, and then there's a virus on a cruise ship.
Can we talk about this for a moment? Dana Lash with you, by the way. Welcome back. The Hantavirus. I'm not going to lie, I did not pay any attention to this, and I still probably won't.
Because you know what I thought for a moment? Don't laugh at me. is I thought I was like, the soda? That was my first thought. Hantavirus, the soda.
And then I thought, I remember those Hanta commercials. Phanta. My husband's like, Dear, sweet summer child. It's Fanta. The Fanta soda.
It's like, oh, because I'm. Thought it's like a so it's a vi I just I didn't think. I was just it was you know, it was last night I was tired.
So It's the Hantavirus.
So basically, it's from rats. It's like the plague. Because well the plague was from the fleas on rats. This is a deadly rat-borne virus.
Sounds like vermintide, dark tide vermintide. I have a little bit of experience with rats because of my time in vermintide, guys. Two people out there are going to understand that reference. Not including Kane or anyone on staff here. It is Apparently, so they're on this Cruise ship.
This is another reason why I got really weird about cruises. They it's now an international health thing.
Now, they say it's typically spread by rodents through urine, droppings, and saliva.
So, let's first talk about what is the Hantavirus. That's what it is. It's a grody little thing that is spread by basically rat droppings, right? And I It's just, and apparently, it's like they had a number of people on the ship that had it. It can be fatal, I guess, if you're immune compromised.
I mean, it's kind of like the stuff that we heard with. COVID. I ain't shutting down for anything, by the way, just to let you know. I don't care if people are bleeding out of their eyes, it's not going to happen. Not gonna happen.
Go do that on your own time. We ain't shutting down nothing.
So I noticed that the headlines started getting more and more vicious. Hantavirus, now it's the rat virus. I mean They come from the grossest things.
So they said that I was reading the story of a passenger who was on the cruise ship. They said they were not well informed by the ship's captain of the risks after the first person kicked the bucket on the crews.
So there are 150 people aboard the luxury M. V. Hondias. When the virus struck last month, they said eight people were infected and it's going to, it claimed the lives of three people on board. More than 100 passengers had a quarantine.
A 70-year-old Dutch dude was the first person to bite the bullet, so to speak. And then the captains, the ship's captain, was reash. I'm reading this. I Story, this interview with this passenger. He was out reassuring passengers that it was due to natural causes and showed no threat.
So the passengers are mad at the captain because they said the captain downplayed the threat. Right. I just, I'm going to be real with you. They said, oh, we weren't informed. I can completely see why it's easy for this stuff to spread on a cruise ship.
I went on one cruise, and that was because MRC, I went with them, and they were very nice. And it was up to Norway, it went to Norway.
So we were in the North Sea for a significant part of it. And that was kind of like an academic cruise. I spoke and we had workshops and stuff. It was really fun. Um Am I a cruiser?
That's a whole different breed of person. Can I tell you guys the scariest thing that ever happened to me in my life happened on this cruise? Do you want to hear it? Yeah. The scariest thing ever.
So We're on this cruise, and I love MRC, and it was a very nice cruise. And if given the choice, if I had to pick between a cruise of people my age or a cruise with blue haireds, I'm going with the blue haireds. I got to be real. Right? The old people are in bed by like 10.
They have good food. They have better wine. I'm going with them.
So We're on the scariest thing that ever happened in my life. I had never been on a boat like that. I was walking around, I felt like a Martian. I was walking around like a new planet. I didn't even know what anything was, I couldn't even believe it.
It was just Too much for me. I just want, you know. A canoe. There's a lot. And then they were like, Okay, well it's you know, it's lunch time.
You can go to deck whatever for I don't even know what it was, get your lunch, etcetera.
So we go up there. And my husband and I both had different reactions to the horror that awaited us when the doors open. Scariest moment of my life. It was a never ending buffet. Uh oh.
Buffets are terrifying things. I don't like buffets. I don't like Eating by other people I don't know. I don't like being in the germ. I'm just really weird with germs.
I got a little better at it over during COVID out of spite. Because I thought the government doesn't want me to do this, so I'm going to do it.
So, I mean, Kane, it was from like How do I like the whole from end to end? It was a buffet. And people were running to the buffet like cattle to a trough. And I'm like, I can't do this. And the sh the sh the people that are serving the food were very nice.
They all had chefs' hat hats on. They weren't all chefs, but you know what I mean. They were all very nice. I'm just like, I can't do this. And they had like a sushi part and then a barbecue part and then a something I all these and I just Couldn't deal with it because there were so many people with the hands and the grabbing of the food and it.
I immediately could not eat. I was like, I have no appetite now at all whatsoever, right? Nobody, nobody, you don't need those things. You don't need to worry about that with me. I'm like, I can't eat it now.
That was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my life, Kane. And I watched a dude take like a square of something. I'm getting very uncomfortable right now. And then Th there's a reason why there's the glass there. In front of the, and they hand you the food.
So it's not like you can, only with the bread and certain things could you grab it. Everything else, you can see it, and they hand it to you. But this guy ducked his little hand underneath a little. Divider. And grabbed it and pulled it out.
And I immediately wanted to perform a citizen's arrest, even though we were in Amsterdam. Terrifying.
So I could see, although that ship that we were on was the cleanest thing I've ever seen. And I'm one of those people that I will run my finger along the chair rail. I am that person. I will look, I will tear apart my room with a portable blue light before I so much as like allow my suitcase to come into the rest of the room. If you, my husband's like, it's like traveling with Michael Jackson, but like a non-pedophile way.
Yeah. He's like, it is the most bizarre thing. He cannot, he just is used to it now. And everyone gives him these looks of sympathy, like, oh gosh, your wife is one of those. Because I'm like, wait a minute, I can't, I can't deal.
If you're a passenger sitting next to me, I'm totally going to wipe your stuff down like you're a toddler. I don't care if you don't like it, it's happening.
So I can see back to my the story why these things happen. Because people are gross. And also, this ship, if there's that many rat droppings and all of that stuff, because it's supposed to be a zoonotic virus, meaning it's between animals. But now there's questions as to whether or not it is also transmissible between humans.
Now here's where it gets super creepy.
So this is why this is so high up in my first hour, Kane. This is what I did last night. It was 12:32 midnight. Last, I should not have even been on my phone, but I went to check the weather. Then I'm like, mm, let me see what some of the news stories are.
and I went to see what was trending. Cain, would you like to know what was trending? I sure would.
Okay.
So if you look. On my rundown, Kane, the second link that's there. I just want you to pull that up for me. It's a little tweety tweet. Juan's already laughing.
This is what Dana saw at 1232 last night. It was a tweet. That was made, I think this was what, 2012? If I could get the internet to work, that would be great. You know, it's more like doing a show.
But it was from 2000, I think it was like 2012. Oh yeah, I found it here. Do you have it there?
So The funny thing about it is, they, I think, is this the one that's from 2012? I would open it if I could, but our internet's not being cooperative. Yeah, that's the one from 2022. Oh, sorry, 2022. There was another one from 2012.
This one's 2022.
So a guy named Soothsayer says, 2023, Corona ended. 2026 Hantavirus. The time stamp on this is 12.30 a.m., june 11, 2022. How the heck now. You could say, because it has a community note.
The community note does nothing to help me. It says this is a known tactic.
Someone creates a private account, posts a bunch of predictions, and when one of them happens, the account is put public, and it's nothing more than fear-mongering. Is it though? I don't think so. I think that's kind of dumb. I think in the tweet it would mention a lot more things.
In it, right, to try and make that prediction. But it clearly says only coronavirus and only hantavirus.
So I see this at 12:32 last night, and I'm like, And you didn't go to sleep last night, did you? No, I was up to like 1:45 in the morning because I started running down hantavirus.
Sounds right. I couldn't help it. And then I was like, oh, it was horrible.
So. I'm just saying.
Someone else said, and the one of the the tweet that was back from 2012 said uh you know if you really wanted to go at people make uh hand if you really wanted a pandemic make hantavirus transmissible between humans. That was the other one. That was from 2012. I'm just saying.
So Apparently My understanding is that there were enough dirty, rat, disgusting things that were on the ship. That it act like people actually got it from that. That has to be a lot of Grody rat stuff, right? I mean Grok was not really helpful because I said, How much grody rat stuff do you have? I literally typed that.
I was like, I'm not. Do you have to be exposed to? And Grok was very, was trying to really encourage me to not. Like, I don't look. I'm not gonna lock down.
I will literally, I will walk out in the road with my eyes bleeding if that's what it does. I don't care. I'm not locking down. I'm gonna go and do my things. I'm gonna go to the croaker.
I'm gonna go and get my groceries. You know, I'm gonna go pick up my dry cleaning. I'm gonna do all this stuff to hell with any pandemic. But how nasty is it that apparently there was that much rat stuff? on that cruise that all these people were were exposed.
You so much as sniffle next to me. on a boat. I'll put a bag over your head. You know, for your own protection and mine. Just saying.
I can't. How bad did it get? Oh no, one person died. It's all right, passengers. Just go back to your you got a dead dude on board What?
He's just what do we know that he was? Being 70 is not a compromise of your immune system. That's just being 70 years old. I think that's there's a lot of healthy 70-year-olds out there that would beg the difference. I make the argument being 70 is a comorbidity.
That's not a comorbidity. A comorbidity is like having bad health elsewhere.
Now, if he was like 95, 103, he'd be like, well. He's a little long in the tooth. Oh, I think seventy is an age. Probably is a negative for him. I get that you hate old people, but that is inapplicable here.
That is so unfair. He's so suspicious of them. He always thinks that they're going to get him. can't go to sleep at night. They're going to show up and take his medicine.
Is that ageism? What do they call that? No, I'm just saying, I'm being the opposite of ageism because the guy's a 70-year-old Dutch dude.
Now, they say that there are three of them. They haven't released the ages of the others, but I'm just saying.
Now, does this make me want to go? on a cruise again. It does not. But I don't know. I just it does not.
It does not do anything to do that. But they said that they're going they they were trying to get ports they were trying to actually disembark at a couple of other places and several of the ports of uh uh call denied them. They would not allow them to disembark.
So all the way back in April 24th, they flew some passengers, dead wife, to Johannesburg. And it was April 11th, and it was somewhere between Argentina and South Africa that the first person kicked the bucket. And it left.
Well, actually I think it was what? Was it? Did it leave Peru or Paraguay? It was like the very southern, well, near the southern tip of South America. And so Now they're expected to arrive at um some of the uh islands off the coast of Africa because they weren't able to get Ports of they weren't able to disembark elsewhere.
They had to fly three other patients to the hospital in the Netherlands. There's another guy in Switzerland who's hospitalized.
So here's the thing: some people were allowed to leave. And they think that other people have been exposed to this, and even some in the U.S. I'm just saying, I ain't locking down for nothing. keep your stuff clean. I just with that many again, I'm not.
Like a microbiologist. I'm not a disease expert, but I'm just thinking for it to be that bad, that means that ship is nasty. If there's that many Rats, and there was that much stuff that it affected that many people. That is super bad because you literally have to have close contact with the animal, according to everything. That has to be, you know.
That's nasty. I I don't lock the world down. May people clean up their nastiness. That's grody law. I find it easy to lead a relatively rat-free life.
So I don't think that's a difficult thing to do. Yeah, I agree. Rat-free life. I agree with you. It is so easy to work with fast-growing trees.

And yeah, you argue, you joke around, you disagree constantly. But when it actually matters, you've got each other's backs. No question. That's just being a good teammate. And honestly, that shouldn't stop when the game ends.
But right now, hate is rising across communities in different ways. And Jewish communities are getting hit hard by it. And hate doesn't stay in one place. It spreads.
So this isn't about agreeing on everything. It's just about showing up for people. The Blue Square is a simple way to do that. Just saying, yeah, I'm not cool with hate. Go to bluesquarealliance.org.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you.
So they were announcing some of the people who won the Pulitzer. And apparently one of these people who won it for the New York Times for news photography. Had to admit that it was a hoax because they ran with this Gaza Boy famine photo. Remember, it was this woman who was holding her child, but the child actually had like a. Was born with a health condition, and its sibling was born with a health condition, and then one of its other siblings, or two of the kids' other siblings, totally fine, fat, and happy, and they try to act like it's because Israel is starving us, and they lied about the medical condition, and they made this whole femin hoax.
One appeal that's there for it. You can literally run Hamas propaganda, terrorist propaganda. and win a Pulitzer for it. That's insane. And it was a, they literally staged the photo with terrorists.
Sahir Al Ghoura literally staged the photo with terrorists. And so now the New York Times, they've been trying to defend the integrity. It's a Gaza-based, it's a Hamas photographer. If you work with Hamas to stage photos, you're a terrorist. End of And They also worked to stage different photos with Hamas.
Like, for instance, they had one where they were supposed to be carrying the remains of an Israeli hostage, et cetera. But then it came out that they actually worked to multiple shots, multiple angles, and worked with Hamas to get the photo. That's insane. And winning a A Pulitzer for it. This is you don't, however much you, you don't hate the press enough.
Yeah, this guy, he's a terrorist. He is a photographer. I mean, he's a Hamas photographer. There's no other way to put it. Here's a Hamas.
photographer.
So I don't know. I'm like, you know, I look at this and I It calls into question all the whole Pulitzer organization. But the New York Times is desperately trying to defend it. The uh there's a watchdog group called Honest Reporting. And they're this.
You know, they're not a political group. And what they did is they said that the guys Pulitzer is, quote, a prize built on staged scenes. a manufactured famine narrative. and intimate access to Hamas terrorists. And the New York Times said that you're attacking his work.
But the photo Is of a child that literally was born with a health condition, like a. a a serious health condition. and its terminal. And all of his other siblings were fat and sassy. But they wanted the sick kid, and then they tried to.
That's the photo Juan showing you right there. I mean it turned out And It turned out that the the photo, it was a hoax and The kid was has a terminal, has an illness. I think it's cystic fibrosis, is what the kid has. I think the kid has cystic fibrosis. And so they tried to say they showed a kid that wa has cystic fibrosis.
and even Snopes. which is a left-leaning trash bag Had to. Say that it was false, but they were trying to be very careful about it. They were saying that, well, it's just, you know, we got to contextualize it.
Now, there's no contextualizing it. It's fake. But the kid, from what I understand, what was reported is that the kid has cystic fibrosis. And It was They said that it was because it uh the kid was uh Being starved by Israel ultimately. It's the Israeli famine, even the telegraph, guys.
The telegraph, which you know is so conservative, Kane. They even had to say, yeah, this was a completely manufactured image. And they never would correct it. They never corrected it. They never...
Uh Offered the context of, oh, this child has cystic fibrosis. other journalists who were there. Actually, had the mother in some of the other photos, and it showed her with her other kids who were just fine. That's how it ended up being really quickly debunked. Because some of the other foreign the foreign photojournalists that were in Gaza said, Yeah, that's actually not right.
But of course, this is a guy who's from Gaza. He is BFFs with Hamas. They hired the New York Times hired a Hamas, a terrorist photographer. To take pictures literally of like cystic fibrosis kid and act like the kid, oh, look, this one kid, this means Israel is starving everybody. didn't show them on with the other kids.
By the way, it's interesting that this dude. This Hamas photographer How are you a real journalist and you see the terror group that you elected? raining hell, killing its own people, shooting them if they approach an aid truck. You don't take those pictures or write those stories. You absolute rat bastard, scum of the earth, dog terrorist.
There is no level of hell that is deep enough for these people. None. And I don't want it in my country. Sickening. Speaking of Islamis, that event in Grand Prairie was canceled.
Yeah. So, a lot of people, a lot of ignorant people don't understand public accommodation. Look, I'm really cool. With different conversations on social media, but I really feel like it's disrespectful to jump into a debate when you know nothing about it and try to argue with people. If you don't have that courtesy, don't expect courtesy to be reciprocated because it won't be.
Uh, but they canceled the event after Governor Greg Abbott said, We're going to have to look at the federal grants or the state grants that are going to this because it's a public accommodation. Here's the thing: you can lease. Eight. publicly owned facility. But the moment You start advertising it to the public?
Opening it to the public and trying to make money off of it and selling tickets. You can't discriminate against other religious groups or disabilities or anything like that. That's how the law works. Because I had people like, Well, what if I wanted to have my wedding there? You idiot.
Are you going to advertise it to the public, your wedding, you stupid idiot? Are you going to advertise it to the public? Are you going to sell tickets to it? Are you going to discriminate against Christians at your wedding? If not, shut up.
Not everything is about you, Cynthia. Mm-hmm. It's so, I don't have a lot of patience because there were a lot of. apologists for this stuff. Saying that, oh, this is just Texas bigotry against, people were actually saying that it's like, no.
It's a group. That is affiliated with the East Plano Mosque. They rented out a public facility and then they advertised it all over social media locally and it was on their website verbatim for Muslims only. They had a link where you could go buy tickets for Muslims only. You cannot do that with a city-owned taxpayer-funded entity.
So as I said, the moment you start advertising it to the public and selling tickets, you have to abide by anti-discrimination law because it is a city-owned entity.
Now, there's two ways, and they even changed their signage. They removed the Muslims only off of their signs. They didn't take it off of the website, though.
Now If they had not. said Muslims only. All over? and threaten to enforce a strict religious dress code. Because let's be the burkini is not about modesty.
It is stupid subjugation. It is an idiotic costume designed to subjugate women. Don't talk to me about feeling comfortable in 90-degree Texas heat in June wearing a hood. long sleeves, a giant dress and long pants, swimming. No.
And if you don't like my opinion, you can go back to your third world hellhole, because I don't care. But When you enforce a strictly enforce a religious dress code and you say Muslims only had they not done any of that, it wouldn't be a problem. But it's a problem because they did that. And you cannot do that with a public accommodation.
So, you can lease it out and you can have your private event there, but the moment you start opening it up for tickets, And sell it and advertising it to the public and selling tickets. You can't say Muslims only, you can't say Christians only, you can't say Shinto only, Buddhist only, you can't say any of that stuff. You can't enforce strict religious dress codes. You can't do that. That's considered discrimination.
And you can't tell me they didn't know this. They just thought they were going to get away with it. And so they canceled the event.
Now maybe in the future They won't come and bring their Islamist bigotry. to the Republic of Texas. Because we don't want Islamist bigotry here. We don't want any of that. And that's what they did.
But like I said, all they had to do was not advertise it like that. They didn't have to advertise it as Muslims only. They didn't have to say, all they had to say is just modest dress. But on their website, they were like burkinis, this is the dress only. I mean, they were very.
explicit about you have to cover your whole body up like this. That's a religious And that's what Abbott noted in his. Uh statement on it. that is the enforcement of a religious dress code, to the exclusion of others.
So, no. Although I told Kane somebody ought to go on a burkini with the boobs cut out. Put some red, wet, and blue pasties. Dana, that's don't sit here and tell me about modesty, by the way, with all this stuff. I hear people go, well, you know, they just said for modest dress.
You know, it's very modest. We talked about this yesterday. It's a very, you know, it's just a very modest religion. Is that why it sounds like a sex cult upon death? Yeah.
I mean, we did talk. I mentioned this a little bit yesterday because it does. It sounds like a sex cult on death. You get to go to heaven and you get to screw 72 virgins every single day for forever. Isn't that a little weird?
How is that modest? How is that in any way modest? or in any way Uh morally upright. And then to sit here and talk about women's breasts and describe them in great detail in the Quran when you're advertising the sex cult after. Women, they just have to deal with it.
They don't get any kind of say in that. That doesn't.
Sounds real moral, right, Kane? The peak of morality. It is. Oh, and you get 72 virgins and then apparently after you lay with them, then they go through a magical process wherein they regenerate their virginity again and you get to do it all over again tomorrow. Crazy.
Did they say female virgins? Yeah. They do? Yeah, very specifically female, yeah.
Okay, just making sure. Yeah. Why, you, you. No, I'm just saying, I wonder if there was some sort of loophole or something in there where, you know, they weren't guaranteed female virgins. Maybe they were just given Virgins.
I don't know. But, like you said, this is the ethereal realm we're talking about after you die. Why would you have earthly desires in that realm? It makes no sense to me. Why would you even bring any of this.
Degradation from Earth to that realm. It makes no sense. A million dollar question.
Now, speaking of Islamism, I'm going to pull this up. This came from Texas Scorecard. A Muslim university calling itself Tex Am University is opening in Richardson, Texas, and they are. Are wanting to blend STEM degrees with mandatory Islamic studies, and they have a special focus on attracting Pakistani students. I'm sure that's gonna go real well.
Let's gonna go over that's gonna be that's gonna be Text AM, text AM.
So like Texas A and M But not. But not end. Yeah. Okay.
It's marketing itself as the new Dallas-based Texas American Muslim University. STEM with mandatory Islamic studies.
So two completely contradictory things.
Okay.
And you know, they have their first Muslim mayor there in Richardson, Texas.
So they said that, yeah, they it does sound like I can't believe AM hasn't sued them actually, now that you said that. I cannot believe that they haven't sued them. Because you look at it and you're like, oh. Yeah, they advertise themselves as Tex Am University at Dallas. And they say they have Islamic ethics that guide their framework.
for how the students are trained to work in technology, finance, and other sectors.
So I am made of jokes right now. No. No, you got to go. You have to learn everything through the scope of serious strict Islamic studies. Oh.
Yeah. I see.
Sounds like a bomb-making class, I'm not gonna lie. No, it's clocks. Clocks, that's right. We're just learning how to do clocks and pencil cases. That's all we're doing.
We have more on the way as we move. I know we really need to move, but can I just add one more thing for the people who say that they, oh, well, I'm convinced to question stuff with Islam, probably maybe because of Israel. No, I would think it's because of the suicide bombings and the raping of women and the beheadings and the kidnappings and, you know, basically, you know, just hundreds of years of warfare. That's kind of what informs me, not anything with Israel. We've got a lot more on the way as we move.

Slow the scroll. Start asking better questions.
I have to tell you, I know that a lot of people don't really pay attention too terribly much to.
some of the slap fights primary stuff in California because We all kind of, let's be honest, we all kind of written the state off. Right. Ridiculously dominated by Democrats that you pretty much, it's impossible. It's very rare, but it's, I mean, it happens, but it's very rare. It's impossible to be elected if you're a Republican.
Which is why I'm just. Amazed that you have what Steve Hilton in the gubernatorial race, and then you have Spencer Pratt in the LA mayoral race. And It seems like they're getting a really good response. I mean, I don't know if that's necessarily going to translate. to actual votes.
But I mean, it could. A lot of Pratt's stuff, you're going to really see a test of the strength. of doing things Online. A lot of the older voters, I think, that do more reliably turn out than some of the younger voters in these sorts of like primaries and then municipal races. they're not going to see a lot of the ads and stuff that Pratt's putting out there.
Right, they're not really going to see a lot of it. They're following like old school local TV, old school radio, they're following old school newspaper. That's what they're looking at.
So, and they still are the ones who more reliably turn out than other. generational demos, right?
So this is it's going to be really interesting to see. How If Pratt's campaign is going to be able to at least outperform. I would love to see him win. I don't know. You guys know Spencer Pratt was on that reality show.
What was it called? The Hills, or something like that. And That was quite, that was a couple decades ago that he was on that. And I don't know what, I mean, maybe he's popped up in California and the news since then, but I haven't seen anything of him until this race. And he's been a pretty formidable.
Debater. They had their mayoral primary. or their mayoral debate. It was their rank voting.
So they he was he was on with uh Karen Bass and then the other Marxist. And he just, this is cut eight. He came prepared. It wasn't all just slick digital ads, which apparently I'm told he ad-libbed all those. They shot it in two hours.
Like his most famous video, the one where he's standing on his burned-out lot in his airstream, he shot that in like, what, two or under hours? Listen to this, though. This is cut eight, where they were debating. Karen Bass was being very, very dismissive throughout the entire debate. And I actually watched some clips of this.
He just body slammed her rhetorically. Cuddy, listen. Uh to the mayor Karen Bass is The thousand firefighters that were available, but there was no engines for them because of the $17 million that Chief Crowley had asked the mayor for nine weeks before, and Mayor Karen Bass denied it.
So they may have been available, but they didn't have the equipment they needed. Not to mention Janice Quinonez, who Mayor Karen Bass put into her position of power at the LA DWP. She drained both of these reservoirs that these firefighters needed to put out these fires. A lot of people will talk about climate change and hurricane forced winds. The winds in the Pacific Palisades never reached higher than 40 miles per hour.
For those first six hours, they didn't go above 27 miles per hour.
So without those two reservoirs filled with 117 million gallons and 5 million gallons, these firefighters had to fly all the way to Malibu and Encino to get water.
So that to me is the most dangerous thing that the mayor put us up against. Mr. Proud, a follow-up here, though. you do moving forward that would make this better two years from now if we face the same situation?
Well first off as mayor I will never drain the reservoirs that we need for wildfire protection. There is this conspiracy now that they're empty, that they were for drinking water. But if you research it, they were actually made for wildfire protection. He knows He knew his stuff. They were entirely unprepared for him.
And that's the thing that I think makes him a compelling candidate. Like, he showed up in a suit. He didn't wear a tie. I mean, it's like the perfect. You know, he's interviewing for a job, so he showed up to interview for the job and he did the, you know, he played the part.
But He's not just. Uh slick digital. He really knows his stuff. And he is not going, he's not going to be trolled. Of course, you know, when you see your parents, when you have your parents' house burned down, your house burns down, your neighbor dies burning to death.
That really affects people. That's going to affect you. Listen to this because cut 11 They were trying to the socialist candidate, Nithia Rahman.
Some Marxist broad. She tried to dismiss him. And say you're MACA. You know, that's that, they've been trying to say, you know, Republican, basically, Republicans have no place in California. I mean, Karen Bass essentially said that in a local interview two days ago.
This is cut 11, his reaction to that. Watch. I'm not sure how to respond to that vision of Los Angeles. This is a MAGA Republicans' idea of what Los Angeles looks like. This is really not.
Bus He just kind of shakes his head and wait, so not wanting your neighbor to burn to death in their house is a MAGA Republican vision of what LA should look like? We'll have to wear that. He doesn't want people burning to death in their homes.
So, MACA. LA doesn't need this MAGA. Are you are you kidding? That's so dumb. That is so dumb.
But that was her lame. That's all they can do, is try to go, well, he's a Republican. He's a Republican. That's it. And I mean, that's he, she just had, they had no chance against him.
No chance.
Now, he was also the only one on that debate stage. Who said? If you are not a citizen of the United States. Maybe you shouldn't get to vote. This is cut nine.
Their social media teams, the Marxists, they went crazy after this. Listen. Non-citizens should they be allowed to vote in local elections? Is this a yes or no? Mr.
Pratt? No. Mayor Bess. It depends. It's not a yes or no.
Depends on what.
Well, first of all, when you say non-citizens, it doesn't mean they're here illegal. It doesn't mean they're undocumented. They could have green cards. They could be here perfectly legal. And there's a lot of states and cities that do that on very, very local elections.
We have to see what the councilman is proposing. Councilmember Bremen. Yeah, I would say, again, it does depend. In other places, school boards have non-citizens. It's a yes or no question.
I love how he gets in there. He's like, it's a yes or no question. They're terrified. The current term for Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve ends on May 15th, 2026, when leadership changes. The Fed's tone, priorities, and approach to inflation and interest rates can shift too.
We've already seen the dollar down around 9% over the last year, while gold's up near 25%. That's because investors are reassessing risk, not panicking, planning.

So they're terrified. He was like, no, it's a very simple question to answer. But here's the thing. I really feel like This is Exactly where American politics are generally right now. Normally, I wouldn't say that a candidate really, this really.
distills down The feel or the thoughts or the desires of this, you know, this particular voting block. But I think it does so succinctly with this. Because most of the country, if you look, That's the at Pratt and the way he's campaigning. He's not an ideologue. And I think that's where a lot of Republicans are.
That's where the coalition is. And then you've got problems with the coalition, as we're seeing. You know, you've got to manage it. But he's just. I would like to not have to pay a ton of taxes, and I would like to have my neighbors not burn to death in a wildfire and maybe, I don't know, do some wildfire prep.
How is that that's not extreme, right? They think that is actually extreme. And then they start talking about, well, this is what we're going to do with the homeless population. And they have these like utopia. And I told my kids the other day, I'm like, you know, that utopia is literally Latin for nothing.
That's what that actual translated, that's what that word means: it's Latin for nothing. Utopia means nothing, non-existent. There's a reason why it was chosen. That's what Plato wrote about it. for that purpose.
This was this question on the homeless population because. Bass and Ramen were trying to out Virtue signal each other on the homeless population. And Pratt, very practical, comes in with this answer: cut 10. Treatment first. I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with her, and we can find some of these people she's going to offer treatment for.
She's going to get stabbed in the neck. These people do not want a bed. They want fentanyl or super meth. These ideas cost us over $400 million to house 70, what did he say? 3,000 people for 400 million.
This is an absolute failure for both of them. They're a team. He's very honest. He's like, you're going to get stabbed in the neck. That's exactly it.
What's gonna happen? Kane, who was the lady that you were telling me about? And I mean, which I think is incredibly. Perfectly is a great example of this. She was in Baywatch or whatever.
Remember the one that was wa oh, and we saw her. And she dated one of the dudes that was in Baywatch, the young guy. I forget her name. That was a few days ago. It was off the air when we were talking.
Yeah, we were talking about this. And you said, wow, you were talking like she needed help. They did an interview with her. a few years ago, 'cause she's, you know, she's she looks very fit, but also very high. She's methed up.
I didn't even know super meth was a thing until I saw that clip, by the way. I didn't even know me neither. I did not know super meth existed. Anyway, regular meth was super meth. Yeah, I thought regular meth was like super meth on its own.
But they interviewed this actress, and she has not been acting in over a decade. And she's a drug addict on the streets. And they were trying to raise awareness and get people to help her. And she very flatly told them, I don't want help. I'm happy exactly where I am.
I'm doing exactly what I want. And she was like, leave me alone. She was like, This is how I choose to live my life. She, like, that's what she said in the interview.
So now they're just leaving her alone.
So that points right to Spencer Pratt's point, where it's like: look, all this help and this money that we've been spending has only exasperated the problem. It hasn't actually. Fixed anything, and that's his point. Yeah, she walks around with her she walks around with her shopping cart, but they. She got mad at them.
She was like, I don't want, I don't need awareness raised. I don't need money. I don't need anything you're offering me. I'm completely fine with how I choose to live my life. I'm fine on my own.
She did not want any kind of assistance, nothing. She did not want to get out of that situation. In fact, to her, that's the situation that she chose and she wanted to stay in. And she had said something telling. Uh where she said there are a lot of other people who share my my thoughts on this.
She's like, leave us alone.
So, what he's talking about are people who made a choice. I mean, think about it, though, being homeless. in Los Angeles is way different than being homeless like in Omaha. where it gets super cold. and you've got the all of the elements to deal with.
It's very different in sunny Southern California. You see what I mean?
So she's the way she looks at it, she doesn't have to pay for a roof over her head. She doesn't have to worry about the rat race. That's honestly how some of these people look at it. And and Those are the people you'll find under the bridge, and those are the people you'll find, you know, on Skid Row, and all this other stuff. And this, these people they act like they're such do-gooders, but here's the thing.
They're They're not because they did a survey and I think it was like over, it was over half, well over half of the money that they were using. It was like $400 million that they were using and spending on quote unquote homeless was just laundered through in GOs and pocketed by people like what's her face, Nithya Rahman. Pocketed by people like her. Nithya Rahman was with one of those groups that was supposedly helping the homeless. And her group pocketed like millions of dollars.
It's Unclear how much of that money went into her pocket, but she lives in a home that none of us here on this program could afford in Los Angeles. Her house is probably over $4 million in LA. It is, it's not a middle class, which even a middle class single story ranch is very expensive out there. No, she has like an, I mean, I probably what, a 7,000 square foot house out there in LA? That's what, that's easily over 4 million.
Oh yeah. Job, and she's on city council. Her and her husband are middle class. How is that even happening? It's my So because she's getting money from these NGOs, she's one of the people skimming off the top.
It's a whole racket. They don't want to help people that are homeless. In fact, they would like for these people to stay homeless so that they can pretend to help them. And pocket the money. That's what all of this is.
Not just the NGOs with the homeless in California, but also with the Medicaid stuff that is in Ohio and in Minnesota, all of it. 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 be.
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. One thing about the locker room, it's a mix of everything. Different races, religions, backgrounds, opinions, all of it.
And yeah, you argue, you joke around, you disagree constantly. But when it actually matters, you've got each other's backs. No question. That's just being a good teammate. And honestly, that shouldn't stop when the game ends.
But right now, hate is rising across communities in different ways. And Jewish communities are getting hit hard by it. And hate doesn't stay in one place. It spreads.
So this isn't about agreeing on everything. It's just about showing up for people. The Blue Square is a simple way to do that. Just saying, yeah, I'm not cool with hate, go to bluesquarealliance.org. Grab one, share it.
It's not complicated. Just be the kind of teammate you'd want in your corner. Your social media feed says eat more protein, track your sleep, boost your VO2 max, wake up and cold plunge, cleanse yourself of parasites. You're intrigued, but confused.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Disneyland is going to ditch gas engines on iconic attractions because of a crackdown from stupid California regulators. This is so dumb. Stop it.
Stop making things suck. You know what? Just stop. Go to Mars and you can make it suck out there. But stop doing it here on Earth.
Leave it alone. Nobody cares. It's a nominal amount of gas that's used. And you know what? Gas is a naturally made thing.
You absolute lunchboxes. I'm so tired of it. This is more gas for me. Kane and I, we're going to do a big giant bonfire with all the gas. That's what we're gonna do.
More gas for us. But they're gonna, dude, I don't go to Disney because I'm terrified about meeting perverts. And I hate theme parks because of germs. I just can't stand it, right? I've just, there's people touching stuff and just, gosh.
But I'm just saying, I. This is stupid. What? Valid reasons. These are all incredibly valid reasons.
Also, most Americans would give up their entire paycheck for peace of mind. I get weird when it's calm. I don't like a calm. It does not suit me.
So I wouldn't do this. That's dumb. You could do it, but I'm not going to do it. I have a peace of mind. Who needs that?
Create it yourself. I'll just go blow some stuff up at the range. That'll give me, and you know what I can use to do that with? Money. I'll buy the blowy up stuff and I'll go to the range and I'll explode some tannerite or I'll, you know, kick in some door, whatever.
Uh, let's see. I got one more. Oh, let's see. Uh, politics is destroying Americans. We're gonna come back to this, is destroying people's friendships because they're horrible, horrific people.

Chapter exists to cut through all of the confusion, which is on purpose with Medicare, right? Because people are told, go to the government website or here, talk to rando insurance agent. And then, you know, after all is said and done. They discover, people discover that their plan that they picked doesn't actually cover what they need. And it's all purposefully confusing.
That's how people end up on the wrong plan, overpaying and undercovered.
So you need someone on your side to cut through all this nonsense. That's what Chapter does, they're the only company. The only advisor actually that compares every Medicare plan across the country. They're not going to give you one or two companies. They're looking at all of them because they want to find what actually fits your doctors and prescriptions and budget.

Now, on average, people who work with chapter save about $1,100 a year on healthcare costs just by getting onto the right plan instead of going with whatever was pushed at them. It's easy and free and fast to talk to chapter. In under 20 minutes, they'll look at your whole situation, walk you through your choices.

So, Kane and I were talking about it on break.
So, apparently, with the afterlife in Islam, it describes, you know, because you get the 72 virgins. It because it's not about Getting to know God better and living with God in the afterlife. It's just a giant cosmic brothel. That's exactly what it is. It's all about celebrating men's only carnal pleasures, which sounds so modest.
But. Here's the thing that really sticks out to me because it says they're the it describes their tradition And the hadith is recorded, it says it talks about women. And the women apparently Um They don't uh go to the bathroom. And it literally says that they will neither urinate nor defecate nor suffer from phlegm or mucus, and their sweat will be musk. And then it talks about their boobs a whole bunch.
describes them in detail. And then apparently it says, oh, and then the men, you'll have stamina forever. I don't know, man. I got I got some questions.
So modest and morally upstanding, though, am I right? Yeah. I mean, it literally says they will be hairless except for their eyebrows and eyelashes. What? They're bald?
Apparently.
So So they're bald? They only have eyebrows and eyelashes? This is like super specific. It acts like this is the most important thing about the faith. But the virgins that I get, do they got hair?
Like, you know what I mean?
So they're constipated, they can't pee. They're bald. Their sweat smells like musk. They're bald. Apparently, except for their It says eyes and eyelashes, eyebrows, and eyelashes.
Because they're virgins, they don't know what they're doing. Hmm. Which some of them, some comedian said, isn't that kind of its own hoe? Yeah. It was actually Jeff Dunham's, if you remember the Ahmed the Dead Terrorist pump out of heaven.
Oh gosh, yes. I think he made that joke about the 72 Virgin. He said, so if you're faithful, you just get a giant cosmic brothel to the end of time. I guess. Yeah.
Dum dum dum dum dum. Moving on. It's time for today in stupidity. Is it already? It is.
Okay.
Well, let's do this, because Jensaki was saying stuff. Cut six, Juan, just let's let her say it. But what is exciting about it is that you, the people out there, get to choose. There is no, thank God, dark room in Washington where people sit around and they decide here's who the nominee is going to be. Typically, that's not how it happens.
That's literally how Democrats do it, though. There's a dark room in D.C. and they decide who's going to be the nominee. That's literally how Democrats do it. Yet she's saying, thank God, there's no dark room where that happens.
Sorry, that's stupid. We know better. Yeah, that's exactly how it works. Folks, I will be back behind the mic with you on Tuesday. Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there, myself included.

Terms apply. When Kohler, global design leader in luxurious kitchen and bath products, asked me to be their ambassador for timeless, elegant, durable cast iron, I said, I'm in.
Soon after, I was in their Kohler, Wisconsin foundry, watching molten iron poured, enamel applied by hand, and the beautiful finished pieces ready to ship. Since eighteen eighty three Kohler cast iron has been crafted by incredible artisans, and seeing it first hand gave me a whole new appreciation for their craftsmanship.
Now, I'm proud to lend my stamp of approval to my favorite Kohler cast iron products for their durability, beauty, and enduring style. Shop my curated pics at Kohler dot com. As the Kohler cast iron ambassador, I say, Long live cast iron.
