The accused Palisades arsonist says he was inspired by CEO murderer Luigi Mangioni and resentment of the rich. Massive home health Medicaid fraud is uncovered in Ohio. Will the GOP leaders there do anything about it? And congressional Democrats are already plotting the next government shutdown to demand changes to ICE and really to impact the midterms. I'm Greg Corumbus inviting you to join Jim Garrity of National Review and me each weekday for the 3 Martini Lunch podcast.
We'll give you the top news, some good laughs, and we'll be done in 30 minutes. Follow the 3 Martini Lunch on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. And I am deeply concerned about the reports. that your leadership has not been serious. We need somebody.
At this agency, who's focused on solving criminal cases, not passing out branded bourbon or jetting around the globe. Your job is to be reachable. And I know Senator Van Hollen asked you about this. Um, but I gotta say, if you want to pass out liquor or pop bottles, oh my gosh, stick to podcasting to people who really do care about justice and appearances. That is really critical, and it's what I am really deeply concerned about.
I'm in a good mood, though. That's the bad thing. If I have a lot of energy. And stuff goes sideways. Never good.
Welcome to the radio program.
So that was some of that. Insane. Pretty ex uh explosive. Insane. Yeah.
It was insane. Hearing Yesterday, that was Cash Patel, and you know what she's getting at, right? She's mad at him. Because of the Olympics. That's what they're talking about.
She's, you know, because they. He was there and he, um Drink beer. What what what was it? Like uh what he like chugged a beard with our gold medalist. Oh my gosh, no He could cure AIDS and they'd be like, Well, you know, it's so mean to AIDS.
How do you how dare you do that? You're so ignorant to AIDS Cash Patel. He could make Iran. Capitulate. And they're like, you're so mean to poor little Iran.
Haven't you met their gay, one-legged, half-dead Ayatollah? Just so mean. To they are Who was the broad that was questioning? I couldn't do this. Yeah, they had at some point, I probably will go testify at least on Second Amendment issues.
I know that they'd asked a couple of times, but I either was on air, I had something, I had to make a speech, or something was happening. But I'm gonna tell you what, you get You get bitchy with me like that. And we're going to have some issues.
So, welcome to the radio program. It's Dana Lash, and it's finally sunny in Texas, so my mood is somewhat improved because I'm tired of this British weather. I moved to where it's supposed to be hot and sunny because that's what I asked for. I don't know why I got Brooklyn there for a minute, but you know, it's care. Anyway, so uh welcome one and all.
And we're going to get you set up. There's nothing to report on with China. POTUS legit just landed. It's nighttime there right now, so he's sleeping at his hotel. He's not, they're not even awake.
He landed. He's, we're going to talk about the. Impressive entourage that he has Traveling with him. You're watching a little bit right there what Juan's showing you on the simulcast, you know, 347 or YouTube or Facebook. That's POTUS with his entourage.
And he's walking, and you got Chinese, you got Chinese students waving American flags, waving Chinese flags. Can I be honest? I didn't know that he was gonna get that kind of. Reception. I don't know what I expected.
I mean, it's China. I don't know what I expected. It's um he's there is a There's a big objective that Trump is wanting to accomplish. And he had said that they're going to be talking about Taiwan. But he was very clear: we're not talking about Iran.
He was very clear. He's like, We're not talking about Iran because we got Iran under control. And I agree with him. I think it would be stupid for them to talk. about Iran with them.
He says that it's, you know, he got greeted by this. You saw that not there as he went in. They're going to have a state banquet. And then they're going to have their discussions. And it's going to be a lot of business.
One of the things that he had said, too, and that some of these other. Lawmakers have said is that they want China to open up. And I'm, that's, you have all these business people there. The way the progressive media is talking about it, can you believe all of these corporate people are going to China to make their own deals with China? Can you believe all these?
And they're mad because they're CEOs. There's a bunch of CEOs that are going with him to this, and they're upset. Because They don't like They don't like businesses. They just don't like anybody that they don't believe that. That these people are legitimately successful because the way that you are legitimately successful, according to progress the progressive formula is that You are born in like Section 8, and then you stay on government welfare and do whatever Daddy Uncle Sam tells you.
And that's it. That's how you be successful. That's how you're successful. That's what they think.
So they're mad at all of these people.
So you have Elon Musk. The only two people, apparently, that are traveling with him are Musk. And Jensen Huang, who is the NVIDIA CEO. And then you apparently also going over there, you have Tim Cook, Apple CEO, Larry Fink. BlackRock, Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone, Kelly Oortberg, Boeing, Brian Sykes, Cargill, Jane Frazier, Citigroup, Larry Colt, GE, David Solomon, Goldman Sachs, Sanjay Merota, Micron, and then Cristiano Amon, who's with Qualcomm.
And now, Trump says there are, quote, many other. I'm looking at like the readout, and I'm looking also at one of his other. Quotes, not just per Trump, but also Caroline, or not Caroline Levitt, the chick filling in for her. that there are many other CEOs joining him that have y not yet been disclosed.
So they're going their own way there. And then Musk and the NVIDIA dude, they're traveling with POTUS.
So Interesting on this, very interesting.
So, we're going to see how this goes. But I was, I mean, it was a nice little cane, it was a nice little reception that POTUS received. Wasn't little. Do you remember Let me Google this, let me google this, let me google this. I just thought of this.
Remember when um I was a kid. The George H. W. Bush, when he vomited.
Okay, that was in Japan.
So that wasn't in China. But remember when he was he literally like fainted under the prime minister's lap? Remember that whole scene? That was nuts. Do you remember that, Kane?
That was in 92. I think I was in seventh grade when that happened. And I remember it was everywhere, and we were like, oh my gosh, is he all right? They were having this big. Dinner, and apparently he had gastroenteritis.
So he it was pretty bad.
So he had like a little, you know, short. little Inflammation there of his GI, GI sis, his tract.
So I just thought of that.
So POTUS is there. He's got a whole bunch, a whole group of people. And they're going to be having their state banquet and then they're talking about everything, but Iran. Which Again, that makes sense.
Now. His little, whether I don't know how many in the coterie they're gonna have talk. I don't know if they're gonna talk separately, if they're going to talk to other CEOs that are there in China. I seriously doubt all these CEOs are gonna have a one-on-one with Xi Jinping, but I do think that there will probably be like some. Kind of, I don't know, something that they'll have, but it'll be interesting.
But Iran's not on the table because that is not, they don't need no help with it, POTUS said. And I agree.
Now, here's where the media comes in. Let's switch gears to this a little bit because the media, I've been watching some of the stories on this, and they are incredibly angry. over the way That The um They they're just mad. They're mad and they're going at POTUS. over Everything from the economy to fuel prices.
And look, with Iran, I do agree. I don't want mission creep and I don't want it to get stalled out. But all of these other lawmakers are going to do everything that they can to stall this out. Democrats want to stall it out because they need POTUS to have a loss here. They need the American people to be.
Distracted from how much has been accomplished in Iran. And the reason that I think it is a slow progress is because if he's gonna go shock and all part due over there, you're gonna have people lose their minds. People are only as tough. as you know they're they pretend to be tough And you have a lot of people with spines of mashed potato that have absolutely no intention of really stepping up and getting the job done because it costs political capital. And honestly, it's really one of those things that you can only do if you're in your final term as president.
Um, and Democrats really want this to hurt Republicans going into midterm, so they're really hitting things like, oh my gosh, inflation, you're great. Look, we understand. that we're dealing with certain inflationary aspects. I also agree that Republicans are as bad as Democrats in terms of spending. I mean, the Trump administration, the first go-around, they spent as much as Democrats.
There was literally no reduction of spending. And then you also had the problem with COVID.
Now, I will add that part of that spending was defense because it had been so anemic and so torn down. This is something that one of the things I will say nicely about George W. Bush is that he did increase military spending after you really it was kind of languishing. And under Barack Obama, it very much languished. And so POTUS increased defense spending.
That was, you needed to cut spending elsewhere, which wasn't entirely done.
Now we're here in the second term. People need to see some relief from this because you have high fuel prices that's going to affect people traveling over the summer. When you cost people a summer vacation, they're not going to forgive you for it. When you make it exorbitantly expensive to go anywhere, even go on a road trip, people aren't going to forgive you for that. Kids aren't going to forget that either.
So those are future voters.
So this is all stuff to keep in mind. But Republicans still have a lot of runway left. They just need to not be scared of their own shadow.
So ABC had this story. I'm going to pull this up because I first saw the tweet. ABC had a story up where they were saying President Trump said Americans' financial situations was not even a little bit of a motivating factor for him reaching a deal to end the war in Iran, despite a new report that inflation rose for a second consecutive month and hit a three-year high.
So what is the question here? I mean, personal, I mean, finance, even national finance, is not the same thing as foreign policy. And it's going to be a hell of a lot worse if you allow Iran to continue doing what they're doing. I mean, one of the reasons we're in this position in the first place with fuel and have been historically is because of the way that they've traded the Strait of Hormuz.
So you either want to end that or you just, or you want to jack around and make it all. you know, incredibly, incrementally worse. And Democrats want that because they would rather everyone suffer. They don't care if everyone suffers so long as that means a change in the White House or in Congress coming up in 26 and 28. They don't care.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right, so first up, Eagletown, USA, the Eagle's Nest. The actual Eagle's Nest has viewers hooked. I've actually watched these before. And then the next thing I know, I'm like watching 20 minutes of these eagles sitting in their nest.
It's a YouTube channel that streams bald eagles live 24-7 from their nest in Big Bear Lake. It's about 100 miles east of Los Angeles. It's the only place that the junkies haven't left needles and feces in.
So, you know, spare the eagles. But you can watch sometimes they come back with fresh fish, they feed the little eaglets, they it's really cute. A Russian ship that sank off of the coast of Spain was carrying a nuclear reactor to North Korea. Hmm, I wonder what caused the blast. Nobody knows.
Nobody knows. So crazy how that happened. Such a bummer. Wow. Uh, let's see, this.
Uh, oh no, I'm wrong thing. Uh, Um This is, I don't care about this story, but there is this one Turkish Airlines flight, 288 people on board caught fire as it landed. Hello. I don't like that. I wonder if there was like mass hysteria.
He never fails. But apparently, it landed okay. There were no, I really don't care. It's turkey. I don't care.
Am I supposed to care? I just don't. I wanna talk about the Waymost self-driving car that could not get around a dead end London street and it got itself caught. Does it like bleat help or something when it gets caught? They had, and the residents are mad.
They said Waymo went rogue. Self-driving cars are just driving residents nuts.
So it was four in the morning, and one of them got stuck in a dead end street. And they said that it happens like two or three times a week that they get stuck. You would think that they would fix it. Four in the morning. It was trying to drive down the road with dead end, and three times in one week, it got stuck.
They said that it tries to reverse out, and I guess it makes sounds. And then it did the same thing, it just does the same thing over and over again.
So, Waymo is testing a fleet of white Jaguar vehicles. And apparently it's not going over very well. Apparently one of the Waymost plowed into a taped-off crime scene in West London one month. I know. Look.
Everybody. This is for you, Jen Z. Your body starts producing one to two percent less of collagen every year. That means if you don't get a handle on it, all of your nice attributes are going to sink down to your ankles. No, collagen is the protein that keeps bones dense, cushions your joints, firms your skin.
You get strong nails, luxurious hair, all of it. And Native Path was developed by an actual doctor, Dr. Walding, because he spent years looking for clean collagen. He wanted grass-fed, he wanted clean, he wanted good collagen for his patients. And he always found like there was always something, and there usually is with all the collagen out there, different brands.
And so he just was like, okay, I'm going to do it myself. I'm just going to make one. And that's how Native Path collagen came to be. It is great. I mean, it dissolves in coffee or water.
The biggest complaint that I have with so much collagen out there is that there's this, I think there's this chalky taste to it. Native Path does not have that. And I really don't care how they don't. I don't care if you use sorcery. It doesn't have it.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, and we are, of course, at the top of this third hour. There's still a lot of stuff to get to, actually. Ahuku talking about the Hanta virus coming in. I heard.
By the way, if you missed the first two hours, you can go get the podcast and catch up. Also, Substack, I got a lot of stuff up there that I discuss. I read I saw a thing where somebody came said that Um, it's not really transmissible, and also the hantavirus, and that everybody just needs to. I'm not worried about it, but they're saying people stop freaking out. It's like the people.
who went through all the COVID stuff and freaked out. And they're probably still some of the lingering face mask people. Like that that need to wear that don't need to wear it. They're the ones who, it seems like, that are very eager to freak out over this. Yeah.
I mean, we've been. We've known about it and we've been tracking it since the 90s, Hantavirus. We get 100,000 cases a year, something like that on average, and very few deaths from it. Yeah, I don't think panicking is the way to go. I think clear thinking here.
I know they do. It does seem like They Enjoy, how do I put this? They enjoy the attention that they get from panicking. I feel like that's fair, right? And they enjoy the actual community that comes with it, too.
Because if you're out there and you're like, Karening everyone at the grocery store because they're not wearing masks. You will find other people that actually align with you on that. And it's silly, but it is also the community. Yeah, that is uh that's true. Yeah, I uh Yeah.
They feel it. Oh man. Yeah, I'm just not concerned about it. I'm just really I'm not concerned about it at all. Not at all.
All right, so we also POTUS, who's heading to China. He's sleeping right now. He's in the what time is what uh I'm googling something.
So it's two in the morning over there.
So China is 12 to 16 hours time-wise ahead of the United States.
So, and they don't observe daylight savings time, so they're pretty much always 12 hours ahead of Eastern, the Eastern time zone.
So it's two in the morning. over there right now and um POTUS is sleeping. Everything kicks off tomorrow. We'll see what happens. But he's got a bunch of executives over there with him.
And we were talking about all the people who went uh to China with Trump. And you've got, I think, Elon Musk and the NVIDIA CEO. Who went with him? Marco Rubio's with him, Pete Hegseth. Do you think it's interesting that Vance isn't with him?
Does he need to be? He doesn't necessarily need to be. Isn't there some Senate business going on? I mean, we've had some really close votes in the Senate. I keep the VP back for a tiebreaker, but.
I don't, outside of that, I have no idea why he's not part of it. I don't know why he's having a press conference that I'm not taking right now. Yeah. I don't know why. I'm not.
I don't, don't misunderstand me. I'm like this with everybody. A little tube manufactured that makes it almost precious, right? He is so manufactured that it's like precious. Has the book that he came out with and the race.
He almost didn't win his damn Senate race in Ohio. And for every all the bitching and moaning that people do about Mitch McConnell, Mitch McConnell went in and bailed him out with a couple hundred million. Otherwise, he'd have lost it. He'd have lost that race. He wouldn't win it in his own town.
But my whole or state, but my whole point is, I just, I feel like he's having a press conference right now just to stay in the press. Because he's talking about the investigation. But there's nothing like from what I understood, and I was looking at some excerpts of the speech that he was giving, they were embargoed, but the full speech wasn't released. It's not anything entirely new. It's all stuff that's already been publicly reported.
Yeah, the only new thing is that the White House task force to eliminate fraud. But that's not even new. We knew that months ago. Like they announced it months ago. He already had a press conference over it.
Yeah, we're definitely expecting it. Yeah, I feel like he's doing this just to stay in the news. I can see that. And you know that the fraud conversation has been sort of ramping up too over the past week or two. I think this was all kind of, you know.
coordinated in a way. But but He can't do it while POTUS is awake and doing business in China because. Or, I think he can't do it after everything kicks into gear and is underway because then it looks like he's detracting from that.
So he's got to do it. before it really kicks off. And so this was kind of like the day to do it, have his press conference, you know, get up in there. It's a populist tactic. Remember, populism is not a set of beliefs.
There are people who have no idea what it means. It's not a set of beliefs. It's literally a messaging tactic. That's all it is, it's a tactic. That's not a set of principles or beliefs.
It's a tactic.
So it's a populist tactic, stay in front of people all the time. And I just say that because this is like the second or third time that he's done this. POTUS takes Rubio, Rubio's Secretary of State. It makes sense that he goes up there. But by nature of Rubio, and this is all 2028 palace intrigue, by nature of Rubio going, He's immediately, it looks like he's more preferred by POTUS than Vance.
And I feel like Vance is doing this. Press conference, news that we have all known for weeks, and we've talked about on the show, and I'm not against it. But I'm just saying it feels if he has not, if he did not have a history of having everything be very choreographed to the point of it being precious. I wouldn't blink an eye. You know what I mean?
Is that mean? No, no, no, I think it's fair actually to say that. You're right. I try to be very measured.
Sometimes I'm caustic, but I try to be very measured because I just The benefit of not liking anybody. is that nobody's BS takes you in. But if it's B S that I can live with because it gets me a a certain voting uh priority that I want, then I'm okay with it. You know, I could be I could be like Nicola Machiavelli, I can be very, you know, I get it. But I I just I don't know, it just it just seems just I don't know.
Like I said, a little. too precious by one just saying So we'll watch all of that. I just think some of it is. I don't know, some of the palace intrigue. I'm trying not to get into a lot of the drama with some of these primary runoffs.
Uh oh boy. Stop.
So here's let me just tell you I feel like I In some ways, I'm in a weirder position than most. I'm not some network person who was exiled into digital. I was born in it. You merely adopted the digital. We've been here a long time.
We've been consistent. But I I know a lot of these lawmakers. And I have to actually say, of all of the lawmakers that I know. I can actually own and I'm not to hurt anybody's feelings. Only one is a friend.
Everyone else is a lawmaker and they're an associate. And the reason that only one is a friend is because I knew the one long before they ever ran for office or actually had an interest in. running for office. And so I get and I've had my start in the Tea Party, so I grew, literally grew up in politics. Like I started in my early 20s and I'm in my 40s now.
I started in my early 20s, so I literally grew up on digital, on camera, behind the mic. It's very weird. And I got to know a lot of these lawmakers, and I've known some of them for a very, very long time. But they're still lawmakers. And I have a role that If someone that I know, I try to be very New Testament, book of Matthew about, or not book of Matthew, but you know, I try to listen to Paul's instruction about how to deal With Differences of you know an agreement.
And I always talk to people privately before I say things publicly. There are some lawmakers, and I don't want to name names just yet. With this one instance. There I feel like some lawmakers When they make unforced errors, they need to stop. And I get that in some runoff, primary runoffs.
They feel like they have to go and talk to every single person possible. in order to be competitive. And It is Sometimes that ends up hurting them more than helping them. I don't know. How far do I go with this, Kane?
Well, you're committed to not name a name. I know, I know, I know. How far do you want to go with it? I just think that. Bottom line, with a lot of these Republican primary runoffs, you've got to look at the business of the country.
It's show business of the country, not show friends. That's how I look at it. You can't have unforced errors.
Now I'm just going to get into it. I don't care. So the AG runoff in Texas is very weird. And I don't dislike either of the people That are running. You have Mays Middleton, you have Chip Roy.
I've never met Mays Middleton. I don't know him. I had a couple of people invite me to various fundraisers that they were having, but I don't like doing that because it's an implied endorsement. And if I'm going to endorse someone, I will come out and say, and I don't really endorse a whole heck of a lot. And I don't endorse as like You know, I'm not playing strategy.
It's either this is the best person or it's not the best person. But in this aging pro I've never met this dude. I don't I would not know Mr. Middleton if I fell over him in my living room. I would not know.
I would not know him. I think I've seen a photo of him, but I've had people invite me to different fundraisers and I'm like, I'm not doing it because it's an implied, I'm not donating money, and it's an implied endorsement. I'm not doing that.
So Nothing against it, but he got endorsed by, and I put this up on Facebook, he got endorsed by Dustin Burroughs.
Now, you don't know Dustin Burroughs if you're not in Texas. And so Dustin Burroughs is, you know, he's some people would call him the swamp guy. He's the speaker. That the far left needs in Texas needs to stay in power because he can get. The um He gets Democrats appointed to different seats, right?
And it's kind of, it's, you know, I don't know why. I don't know why Mays Middleton would be championing Dustin Burroughs' endorsement.
Now, technically, I didn't see him tweet it. It was Dustin Burroughs for Texas that tweeted it. And he's the Speaker of the House in Texas who's a really lefty, he's like a lefty dude that just runs as a Republican.
So anyway. Long story long. Uh I thought, w whoa. You don't want that. I realize that you gotta do a power play, so maybe it's the best.
Move for him to stay silent on it and not say anything. But Dustin Burroughs, in Kane's right, was handpicked by Dade Phelan, the previous speaker, who once showed up drunk and then got mad and was officiating over a vote and then got mad when everyone was like, why are you drunk?
So, I don't know. You know, it's it's I would distance myself maybe from that because grassroots do not like that. And then you have Congressman Chip Roy, who has one of the most, legitimately, one of the he has one of the most conservative voting records in Congress. By the way, do you want to know who had the most conservative voting record in Congress? Yeah.
I want you to take a guess. Conservative voting records. One of the most conservative voting records in Congress. I'm double-checking the rating. Man, I would say, like Thomas Massey or Rand Paul or.
No? You are going to lose your mind when I tell you who had the most conservative score. None of you will guess it. You're setting this up like it's a Democrat. Dude, you are going to lose your ever-loving mind.
The person that had the most conservative voting record, who is not there any more, was George Santos. Get out of here, really? I swear to you, hands to sky. He absolutely did. He had, like, from a number of different, including like heritage and all these other, whatever you want to take it for.
Yes. He had like 100% with all these different. 100% with a number of different organizations that measure this. And they rarely all agree, but he had 100% with a ton of these, all of the organizations that grassroots look at. Wow.
Can you believe that? Is that not insane? How long was he there, though? How many years? Not very long, but you know.
That's. I would have never guessed it. You would have never guessed it. You would have given me 100 chances. I wouldn't have guessed it.
He told me that one time, and I looked at him and I said, You're a liar. I pointed right in his face, and I go, You're a dirty liar. I said, You're such a liar. And he's like, He goes, Google it. I go, You made the accusation, you prove it, or you made the point, you prove it.
And he did. And I was like, Oh my gosh. Anyway. Chipwy is a very conservative voting record. He does, legitimately.
I can't believe I'm saying this. It's not, what wasn't as conservative as George Santos is, but he had a conservative voting record. He has a very conservative voting record.

Okay, so oh my gosh, an Oregon teenager died. An Oregon teenager died after a doctor stitched, oh my gosh, stitched up the wound with twigs, pine needles, and moss inside. I mean, I know it's Oregon, but what? Ethan Cantrell 18, the family is suing the hospital and members of its ER staff because he had an infected wound. Um Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center.
They're suing the hospital, it's third-party emergency staff. They said that the complaint filed last week, he had twigs, pine needles, and moss inside the wound on his arm when it was sutured closed. He didn't, he only lasted five days after that. He had debris that stabbed his right arm while he was cutting wood, and they examined the wound, irrigated it with saline solution, and sutured it closed. But apparently, they said they ordered an x-ray, but it didn't show anything.
And they said organic material. How do you not see that? Right. If you're, so they're suing it. This is a horrible, horrible story.
