Welcome to the program. One of my favorite things right now, ladies and gentlemen, little U2, God's Country. because it's perfect. All of these Europeans that have come to the United States following around the soccer teams or football teams. And they're in Alabama, they're in Louisiana, going through New Orleans, they're in Houston, and they are discovering.
America. And there are a number of these accounts.
Some of them are German, some are French, some are Spanish, there's some Scottish people. that have come, Cain. with their bagpipes. And they've been moving into Airbnbs and playing their bagpipes. of a morning.
And they love. America, once preparing some of the video. These are the scales. This is how they started their mourning. Across the street at an Airbnb.
Playing the pipes. In a kilt? Don't call it a skirt, 'cause they'll kilt ya. I mean, it is just great. It's so, but they love it, and watching them go.
To different places that we all go to regularly. I love seeing familiar things through new eyes.
So they go, there's one couple that they discovered, and I have been laughing my head off about this because they had ranch. They've never had ranch before. I can't remember if they were like German or French or what they were. She was blonde, I know. And they were like, What is this?
And someone said, Is this a gravy? It's a white gravy to go with you. I'm like, No, it's one of the Americans at the place was like, No, no, no, it's dressing. And they're like, Wait, what? And I guess, I mean, they surely they, wait, hold, they have dressing over there, right?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up, hold up. Wait a second. Do your own peens call salad? I think they call it sauce.
Well, they kept saying gravy.
Okay, so they do not actually say the word dressing. Usually, it's called, so in French, especially if there's oil and vinegar in it, it's a vinaigrette. But then apparently Uh they just use like olive oil and stuff.
So the dressing is Not Really, a thing. And then apparently, in the UK, according to Reddit Askabrit. It's a salad cream if it's like a creamy, but no one calls it dressing, I guess.
So There was somebody who told this couple That and it's not a big account, but it just ended up coming up in all of the stuff with World Cup. But they were like. What's a dressing? What? This is a gravy.
And they're like, no, no, no. And the guy was like, a sauce? They said, no, no, no, this is, it's a dressing. It's a salad dressing. They're like, what?
So think about it. They were trying to compute. You're putting something, a gravy that you say is for salad, but you're using it for chicken.
Now I get how that would That would break a European mind. I get that, right? I get it. Just like how you have to pay for water in Europe usually. I get that.
It you know breaks the breaks the mind a little bit, but I love How they're discovering this and they love it. There's a German guy who's been named Freddie who's been going through, and he went to a Buckies. He's one of several, and all independently, it's not like this is organized. He went into a Bucky's and was like, This is a gas station. Oh my gosh.
And he could not believe it. Going in to the gas station.
So, this is their hall. They had dinner. Because they're following the teams around. I love the corn table. But and then they can't get over the prices.
They're like all of this for only, I can't remember whatever amount. And then we've got was this guy Scottish one, the g s the guy who went to the barbecue? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Watch this. This guy had some Texas barbecue, had some brisket.
And he is just You can tell he's in heaven. Watch this. This is amazing. You gave a word, we gave Scullins. Scullins of the meteor behind.
Oh, yeah? Colonel Blue. Look at that. Oh wow, that is some meat. You guys don't mess around.
No, sir. Holy boy. Yeah, Texas takes pride in there. Yeah, good stuff. Smell is delicious.
Can't smell it. You can't smell it anymore. Can't wait to try some. What have we got here? Ribs, got a big, big ass pickle there.
Ribs, some brisket underneath there.
Okay, we've got a saucepan. Look at that. Oh, and then he put, and then he's here. Keep it going. He's got the potato salad.
He's trying the brisket. I don't want to offend anyone here. I talked over that part. That was an important part.
Sorry. He was like, do I eat it with my hands? I don't want to offend anyone. Hmm. Not as dautic.
You wanna try a bit of sauce? Right, let's try this sauce on this, this rib.
Okay. Kind of like a sweet sauce. I love it. No, I saw it on my phone. My phone.
Risk it.
Alright. This is the big stuff, the good stuff, the brisket. This is what we travelled. 5,000 kilometers or however far we travel to get to this stuff with barbecue sauce in it. Mm-hmm.
That is a taste detector. Oh, he's pleased. He's not a very emotional man, but he's very, very pleased, you can tell. I love it. Oh man, it is ugh.
And then all these people, they're discovering all of this and they love it. They're seeing all of these old neighborhoods and the big trees and they're all going, I could live here. This is amazing. Somebody was shocked. About the um uh lending libraries There was a guy who was talking about how certain towns have like a lending library of books.
And you just open the little door and take a book and leave a book. And he was like, I cannot believe that there is this here. And I can't remember where in Europe he was from, but his mind was blown. And he also could not get over places, and these are in smaller towns that he would visit where you, like if it was like a roadside fruit stand. If the person wasn't there manning to stand, it was the honor system.
And there was a video of them pulling over on the side of the road, and they're getting like peaches and things like that. And I don't think the guy had ever had a peach.
So they were traveling with an American, and the American was talking to them about. Um Their, you know, the fruit, and I can, they were, I think they were in Georgia, and um. It said, like, oh, you know, peaches, whatever. You know, I think I can't remember how much they said, but they had a little basket. like what you would put your your fruit in, little basket and you could just leave the money in that.
And they're like, we cannot believe that, that just happens here. That you can just leave that this money is here on the side of the road and no one's taking it or no one's taking all this fruit. They could not Wrap their minds around it. And you could just see they turned into the emojis where the little faces have hearts for eyes. They were like, this is amazing.
We love America.
Now, I want you to contrast that. With what you've seen. Over the past few weeks. of podcastan podcasti people Going to Russia. and acting like This Dictator-controlled country with a 75% divorce rate run by alcoholics is somehow the uh gold measure of traditionalism.
And compare and contrast. It's amazing. They go over there and they sit here and play up Moscow and Russia while bad-mouthing the United States from overseas. They go over to Russia. Out of all of the opportunity, freedom, and privilege of the United States.
And go to Russia and badmouth the United States and say that the United States needs to be more like this dictatorial alcoholic run, 75% divorce rate, where, by the way, church attendance in Russia is less than church attendance in France. and act like that's like the gold standard of traditionalism. And that's something to aspire to. I remember there was a time here in America where we didn't appreciate people who went overseas and trash-talked the United States of America. But I guess certain people want you to move the goalposts.
of your principles and expectations of how people behave abroad. I don't. I'm still in the same spot I've always been in. But the contrast could not be greater. You have these people that they love it.
They're falling in love with it. I think I'm trying to pull up this link. where they were talking about the The ranch. And then you, I mean, it's just amazing. It's amazing how you have this.
They are falling in love with it. been to Alabama, they're going to Georgia, they're going everywhere. And apparently so, uh, they you know, the war eagle?
Okay. They released the War Eagle in one of the stadiums, and the Freddy, the guy, was like, There's an eagle flying around the stadium. He could not get over it. He was like, It's an actual eagle flying around the stadium. It was amazing.
And everyone's like, Welcome to Freedom, Freddy. And all these Europeans are like, this is the most American thing I've ever seen. I love America, I love it. What are we doing? What are we doing to Britain?
This is amazing. I mean, it is hysterical. I love it. And at that time they were in Auburn. It's so great.
But they're It's so nice to see people appreciate it. I think that's one of the things that everyone really, really loved. When Twitter decided to have auto-translate of Japanese tweets. And you had all these Japanese people that were so polite. They're so incredibly polite.
And they were going, is it true that you guys barbecue giant quantities of meat? And the questions were so wholesome. And lovable, and I'm like, are we all becoming best friends? Because that's sort of what it feels like, you know? But then one of my sons was like, no, X needs to stop that right now.
Protect Japan. They can't get infested with wokery. No, don't let them see the wokery that the Marxists have implanted in Western culture. I'm not kidding. My kids are, yeah, you can only imagine.
But it was, I love it so much. I love it. But yeah, the Europeans could not believe they're like, war eagle, what is that? And they're like, I don't know what they thought, but I love that the reactions were so genuine and unscripted. Watching people fall in love with the Republic.
is and see w what freedom brings. To see Just sort of the perks, I guess, of freedom. is amazing. I love it. There's an eagle flying around the stadium.
I love it so much. It's just great.
So I've been really pleased to see all of this stuff.
Now, as long as it's a republic, if we can keep it, you know, the other thing that it reminded me of is when Boris Yeltsin, when he went to Randall's in Clear Lake, Texas. You guys remember this story? We've talked about it before on the show because it was one of the things that really kind of ended the Soviet Union, really. Boris Yeltsin, it was in 1989. I was in elementary school, and I remember hearing about him coming over.
It was in September of 89, and he was just elected to Soviet parliament. and they went to the Johnson Space Center. And it was sort of, it wasn't a planned trip. Yeltsin, uh, they decided that they were going to stop by Randall's, and Boris Yeltsin went into Randall's, and he could not believe all of everything that he saw, even Yeltsin. You know, he's there and he's like, this is not what we were told about by the United States.
No one told us this. Like, he could not believe all of the different brands, all of the plenty. There are photos of him walking through the store where he just is like gesturing. I put some of one of them in Slack. He's like gesturing.
to the um the you know the the middle If you're in the frozen food section, you remember the middle, what do you call that? It's frozen, but it's open, and you can just reach in and grab stuff. He was standing and just looking at it like, I cannot believe that. And he had said, That he told his entourage, his Russian entourage, that. And Moscow in Russia, if people saw the conditions of U.S.
supermarkets, that there would be riots. and watching these people From Europe, go through America is a lot like this. This is Boris Yeltsin at Randall's in September of 1989. right after leaving the Johnson Space Center, and he could not believe what he saw. And it stayed with him for the rest of his life.
He even said, he goes, even the Gorbachev, he goes, talking about the politicians in Russia, they don't even have this choice, not even Mr. Gorbachev, he said. And then his interpreter, told him that there were thousands of items in the store. And They, yeah, these don't even exist in Moscow. There's like one store that they make up to bring all of the people to, and that's where they take the podcast to stand people, and the podcast to stand people are too stupid.
They're not serious. These people are not out in search of truth. They want to make a buck. It's all about clicks because they would have asked to see more than just the one in Moscow that everybody is taken to. And so They he could not believe it.
And he actually they gave him um a little bag of like snacks and stuff to take for his trip. But his he had asked his interpreter, are Is this the only store like this? And his interpreter had said: no, these stores are all over the nation. and there's thousands of stuff and every thousands of items in every store. And that stuck with him.
He actually wrote about this in his own autobiography. And Yeltsin said that it was this moment that Really? Couldn't that really basically shattered? his whole view of communism. It ended it.
Yeltsin left communism. in the aisle at Randall's. And so you have all these Europeans coming over here and seeing all of this amazing stuff in the United States, and they're taking that, those seeds, back with them.

That's why I was, I'm a little, because so the Pentagon thing that we, Started the first hour with.
So, right when we were getting ready to go on air, we had this, you know, Pentagon's own lockdown. And I was hearing from a couple of friends of mine who work in the press, and they're like, something's going on over there. But it looks like, because now multiple media entities are saying, yes, this is a false alarm, no reason. And we didn't, I mean, we weren't saying that it was anything regardless. We're just like, this is what's happening.
But they were saying it's a false alarm, no big deal. And if you missed what happened, they locked down the Pentagon earlier because part of their security system includes, how would you describe it, Kane? Like um Like it can detect. Biohazards in the air. Yeah.
Is that? I don't know what you would call that. I don't know either. Scent detector? I have no idea.
But okay, I have a Just an observation, a kind of a question observation.
So if it's a false alarm. What would trigger that? You know, I Gave the example earlier in the first hour. Like, what if I was on an international flight and I had to. coexist in the business cabin With a woman who thought it acceptable to spray herself with Oud, isn't that how you say it, OUD?
And it said it on the bottle. I can't remember what brand it was, but it was. It reached down into my throat and strangled me from the inside. And I'm like, would that like, what would set something like that off? Could it be somebody crop dusting when they were walking down the hall?
Can't ask that. I mean, legitimate question. That is a biohazard. legit question. I'm just curious because You know, and I wanted it also to be a false alarm because the idea that somebody could get Is that?
far into the interior of the Pentagon. And this area that they call the apex because that's like the center and it connects. Apparently, it's like a spot where a lot of things converge. Uh they have 17 miles of hallways there. I don't want to think that anybody can go to places sensitive in the government where I don't even have.
the clearance to go, right?
So I was like, please let this be a false alarm. But then if it's a false alarm. Wh who did it?
Somebody wearing stanky perfume or stanky cologne. Where somebody crab dusted. Or maybe somebody vomited. I don't know. Maybe somebody had a bender last night and they went out and began.
I don't know. Made of questions right now. Fair to ask, right? It's fair to ask, I think, Kane. When I was a kid, there were those little glass vials you could buy.
That had like the fart juice in there. And you would stomp on it, and it would make, you know, stink up the area that you were at. I wonder, you know. I don't know if they still even make those things. But I wonder if that could be it.
I mean you know you can also have I mean Like uh what is it? Deer scent. I don't know how else it my um All the dudes in my family, when they go hunt, that's what they do. They have like different scents, there's things you can get, different scents.
Some of them are nasty. Works, though. I mean, I'm not complaining. It works.
So, I don't know, I just got like... I'm just wondering what set off the false alarm. That's all. I'm not I'm not Wrapping my head in tinfoil, I'm now turning into cane. Right.
Not turning into him. I'm just we're just curious. That seemed unnecessarily hurtful.
Well, no, normally you're the one in this situation. Like, what is it? It's a false alarm. What do you mean it's a false alarm? How do you trigger something that sophisticated and sensitive?
How does that get triggered? That's usually Kane, and that's me right now. I still had that speculation, yeah.
Well, you're being very chill about it, which I don't appreciate because it makes me look crazy.
Sorry. I think, I mean, it could have been. Go back to talking about chemtrails and your bacteria tea. It could have been something from the chemtrails that fell right into the tea.
Okay, there we go. It's got an open. Thank you. It's an open top. Yeah, the courtyard in the middle.
Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. Okay, there you go. There you go.
So that looks like it's a false alarm. In the meantime, we're talking about taking control of Carg Island. And how would that happen? And we were playing some of the audio of that because POTUS is right when he says, I don't know if the American people are going to go for it. I think they like I said, I think they would have a couple of months ago, but as to this point now, I don't know.
I don't know. I don't I don't know if it if they would. But if it I mean, we're striking a percent comp. We're striking assets, IRGC assets.
So I don't know, but I like, I think people don't want to wait and see. If Trump says, look, You can't go from I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue, and they would, and people would love me too.
Well, I don't know if I can do this because the American people want, you can't do it. You can't do they if they think that he is decisive, and he's confident in his decision, the people are going to support him. I don't know any other politician that has engendered that sort of goodwill. from voters, right? I don't know any politician that has.
I'm just saying.
So I think if he is just decisive, and I think he needs to stop listening to the feet draggers. I'm not going to say, look, I clearly, I don't think that, well, I know the VP isn't on board with him. But I will say I g I give the VP credit for at least not making a big deal of it publicly, although There's a lot of question about ODI and Joe Kent and some of the stuff happening in those Intel agencies about power jockeying and whose camp that was.
So there's some stuff there. But at least publicly. He's been on, he's been supportive of POTUS, but he's, I mean, it's clear that, you know, Vance isn't on the same page. He's apparently going on the view for some reason. Why is J.
D. Vance going on the vehicle? Why is the vice president going on the view?
Now, I have a theory. I think that he needs to compete with Rubio's name in the headlines. Don't say, Dana, this isn't the time for that, because he's been going on a meeting with multi-million and billion-dollar fundraisers. Absolutely, or donors. He's been at fundraisers with billionaire donors.
And he has been, I know he can say. that he's not going to run in 28. He's absolutely running in 28. You don't have a very carefully manufactured ascension like he did, and then not run after. But it's tricky for him because VPs off of two-term presidents.
Never win. The statistics are against them. Secondly, I think the court of public opinion is very divided on him. Remember, he wasn't winning Ohio. He was losing Ohio.
Until Mitch McConnell, of all people, spent millions of dollars and bailed out his race. Bought all of his ads, did all of it, funded the outreach, did all of it, bailed him out, and he barely won.
So I think that he's trying to. Because Rubio, by way of being Secretary of State, is all over. And Rubio, I think, has now come into his own. And I think Vance I think he feels the need to compete. with Rubio in the press.
At least in the headline.
Now they can be friends and all of that, but don't act like people are not. The machinations aren't underway for 08. They are 28. They absolutely are. They absolutely are.
So This is just I think, but he's, I think that's what this is. He doesn't need to go and defend any. If you're gonna sit here and go and make the case for POTUS. for the administration's agenda, you're not going on the view. You know what I mean?
You're going on the view. to stunt. You're going on the view. I don't want to say it. You know the phrases.
You know what the phrase is, Kane?
So you're going. You're going on the View to That's what you're doing. Sure. Yeah, that's all right. Juan, you agree, don't you?
Steve agrees. Y'all agree? That's what this is. Because if you're making the case, you're not if you're trying to have a serious conversation and trying to win people over about the administration, you're not going on the view.
So I think he's trying to do the most bang for the buck and uh have that Make it look like he's kind of competing, or at least his name, he's doing what he can to keep his name up there as much as Rubio's name is up there.
Now, Rubio's name is up there just because of the nature of his job. require I mean he's everywhere right now because that's I mean we're in a really weird time. internationally and that's just what's is b he's being called to do.
So I don't know. I mean, I I I just don't know why. Why I don't even think he needs to do this. They had a thing out where they added a chicken coop. Yeah, that's a great headline, but you got Rubio out there with the president and they're in the situation room and they're monitoring stuff.
And then Rubio's out there like, yeah, you know, you know, you got to people need to be able to defend themselves. Entities need to be able to defend themselves. He's out there giving quotes to the press. And it complicates a little bit. Vance is in a weird spot.
He's in a weird spot because he can't really make the case for running unless he actually tears down Trump. And he can't be the one to tear down Trump because then that's going to look like he's betraying the base.
So that's part of what the woke Reich is doing. And I'm not saying that they're doing it in collusion or anything, but I'm just saying that, you know, the guy whose favorite podcast is notorious woke Reicher Theo Vaughan. I'm just saying it's just convenient.
Sort of You know. Symbiotic, you could say. little convenient. relationship or convenient moves there.
So it's something to watch. I don't know why he's going to go on the view. I don't think that they're going to get the best of him. Because look, I mean, it's not exactly a brain trust. Right.
You're going to get some clips, you're going to get some sound bites out of it, and it's going to make him look like he is doing something. It's giving the illusion of doing something without doing something.
So that's the only thing where I don't. I don't understand these little hits like this. You know, if you're going to go make the case for something, hold a town hall. Make the case. Hold a town hall.
But going on the view? Who the hell even watches of you? Who do you think would watch more? A town hall in prime time? which you know networks would err.
or the view. A one hour town hall or the view. What do you think, Kane? Who w who what would get more views? I would say the town hall because nobody, I mean, these harpies do the same thing every day.
Once you get a dose of it, you're like, oh. Yeah, I don't need any more of that. And it's midday where people who aren't progressive welfare queens are at their jobs working. To pay for all the illegal immigrants that Biden and Harris let in. That's just weird to me.
It's weird. Our partners for the program. They help make it possible. It's the folks over at Relief Factor. Relief Factor.

Can I just make a note on that? That's a word that you don't say like with a smile. It sounds like you got a chicken wing stuck in your throat. Correct. Carg Island, it sounds fake.
So why are we talking about Carg Island?
Well, because the President's talking about Carg Island. First off, let me tell you about Karag Island. It is sometimes, so it's like right in there in the Persian Gulf, but it's. more to it's closer to where IRGC. can actually provide it support, which is why it's been a little, it's been a little bit of a trick.
It's been a little tricky. There. And so the idea, this is, let's see, let me pull up. You're going to forgive me. I know I have a four and a half foot wide screen, but you know, it's not enough.
More is more, right?
So He was, this is cut three. This is what the president mentioned. in terms of Carg Island, he's been talking about this legitimately for... What? My whole life.
Yeah, since the 80s. My whole entire life. He's always hated Iran. If you go back real quick and you look on YouTube and you just Google like Trump talking about Iran through the years. I have to question if people actually knew him, if they didn't know.
Where he stood on this. He of all the things he's never been inconsistent on, it's actually this. But let's play cut three. This is what he said today. Look, my preference has always been to take Carg Island.
That's been Brian knows that. I spoke to him a long time ago. Lawrence knows it. I spoke to him a long time ago. I said my preference would be that.
I don't know that America has the stomach for it, to be honest with you. You make a fortune, but I don't know that America has the stomach. I think they'd like to see us come home. Yeah. And that's that's the key.
whether or not America has the stomach for it. And This is what I'm talking about when I say that Iran is playing this game where they want to drag everything out and they're trying to, it's like a war of attrition, but. With information as part of, that's the OPSEC, right?
So that's the, it's all about. Information and the how do I put it? The custody of public favor, for the lack of a better way to put it. They want to prosecute this in the court of public opinion and, by dragging it out, wear everyone down and make them think that the length of time is somehow reflective upon Iran's victim nature. That that it's their bigger victims because it's being dragged out.
But it's Iran that's been dragging it out. And Trump started getting criticism from home. You can't have a a sitzkrieg. You know, that's not possible, and you can't have a proportional response. These people only know brutality.
When you're dealing with thugs that only know brutality, you have to speak their language for them to get the point. Because everything else they view as weakness. They view diplomacy as weakness. I know that's crazy for our developed Western minds, but these Bronze Age bastards, that's how they view things. And so now we got round three.
And this uh We have the. He tweeted out. Let me pull this up because he put some of this stuff on. on X where he was talking about Carg Island. And it was a threat.
He didn't say we were doing it. But it was a threat.
So now we have, and Hex Seth spoke about this yesterday. He arrived at CENTCOM to oversee the new strikes and the. He threatened when Trump threatened to seize Carg Island. He said the United States will be hitting Iran, whose Navy, Air Force, radar, anti-aircraft, and all other forms of defense, together with its most offensive capability, are gone. Very hard tonight, he said.
And at some point in the not too distant future, he added, we will be taking Carg Island and the other oil infrastructure points, assume total control of their oil and gas markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both. Venezuela and the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Now, like I said, he's. I mean, he's been in the 80s. There was an interview that he did with Barbara Walters where he went in depth. It was like 30 minutes of him talking about Iran. That may have been at least 20 minutes of him talking about Iran.
And he's talked. before about how really You know, one of the quickest ways to end all of this is Carg Island, right? Because that is the. It's like the linchpin for their oil, their exports. It's for their oil exports for Iran.
That's a linchpin. And It is, I mean, when you consider, that's a hell of a lot easier than trying to do something. going into Iran other than airspace, right? And so I know that there's other islands that are in the Gulf, but Karg is the big one. And really Would be the only one that you would need.
But this is an argument that the administration is going to have for the American people.
Now, he's correct in assuming Americans don't know if they have the appetite for it. Maybe they did, maybe Americans did. Um, you know, a couple of months ago. But It's been dragging out, and this is part of the problem with when you're dragging things out. And I'm not saying Trump is doing that, but I think they allowed to an extent for Iran to do that.
Now, Karg is a little bit more complicated than some of the other islands out there.
Some of the islands the Emiratis claim, so that's a little bit tricky. There are a couple of the islands, the little island clusters that are there in the Gulf that actually are the Emiratis, the United Arab Emirates, and not really Iran. But Karg Island, it's. Um More I I guess you could say more northern. Into the Persian Gulf.
And so, by that, it's a lot closer than all of the other islands to IRGC support.
So that makes it. I mean, not tricky for us, but there is that layer. It's not a complication, but there's an additional layer to consider that's involved in it.
So to go into CARG. You gotta have boots on the ground.
Now, this is the r this is the rub. Trump had said he doesn't want boots on the ground. I mean, technically, give or take, you're training people here and there. I get it, that counts as having boots on the ground. But This would be a little bit different.
And would it be us, or would it be just us? Would it be joint operation? I think that. If it comes to that, I think you have to press upon the Saudis to send. And that's going to be tough for the Saudis because Saudis and Iran, you know, you're playing a very delicate power balance over there where you don't want to alienate Shia because you're trying to have influence in that whole area.
So you're trying to triangulate and play all sides.
So that's kind of a different, I mean, I think the Emiratis or Bahrain would probably be more. more conducive perhaps, but It would require boots on the ground.
Now Trump said there's not going to be boots on the ground. And There's not going to be any courtesy of nuance afforded him. I'm not saying that, I'm just calling it out. That's that's and you know that. There are going to be people, and there are people that are waiting and salivating over this, and they are waiting for him to do it so they can say, Look, Trump betrayed you.
So this is the gamble. He absolutely has an option to go in and bust. He absolutely does. And I think the United States, because I mean, it's our military for crying out loud, this would be an exercise for them. Let's be honest about it.
It would be an exercise, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if they skipped with lollipops into Carg Island and everyone just dropped dead up on the side of our armed forces on the ground there. It doesn't matter. What people would say is that Trump lied and betrayed Americans and put boots on the ground, committed boots on the ground. Tucker Katarlson's already.
structuring that argument with his drunk red-faced brother. Right, other people, other clickhors in Podkastan, they're already setting this up. They're trying to eliminate all options on the table. This is where I think. The one mistake that Trump made was taking any option off the table.
I didn't like it when Barack Obama did it either. I was incredibly critical. Whenever any leader gets up there and they say, okay, well, we'll do this, but this is where we draw the line. You never tell your enemy what you're willing to do or not do. You want your enemy to think that you're willing to burn down the world just to melt their face off.
You want the enemy absolutely scared out of their mind as to what you would do. That's why I like Crazy Trump. I like it when Trump, you know, when people are worried about him spouting off on social media, and you think he may press the button because he damn well may. He could get mad enough and do it. I like that.
I like that uncertainty. I like the lack of predictability. And when you take something off the table, you're taking an advantage. away from yourself.
So I never liked that, even though nobody wants boots on the ground, but at the same time. And I'm not arguing for this, I'm just telling you how it is. At the same time, if you want a mission over. There are a lot of variables that can change the ground, and a lot of variables that can change the trajectory of the mission, and you have to be able to move nimbly and adapt. And when you are boxing yourself in, That can actually make it trickier for you in the court of public opinion than not.
So I think he made it a little harder for himself. with this situation. By saying he doesn't want to have He doesn't want troops on the ground. This is what he said during, he has said this before in interviews, although he also has said. You know that and who knows?
You know how he talks. Who knows? It could happen. I think people need to give him some grace. Because Here's the issue.
How he campaigned and talking about conflict, Trump has been very consistent on this. And there is a pattern. When he wants to prosecute something, he goes in, knocks them on their backside, and gets out. We're not staying over there nation building. We're not doing any of that dumb nonsense.
We're not committing. Our time and treasure and resources, and treasure meaning our people. to you know foreign wars in distant lands. I think the people who disregard the threat that Iran has posed to the United States throughout the decades have their head up their backsides. I mean, it's true.
You either believe it's a terrorist state that has killed hundreds of Americans or you don't. But all of the instability in this region has been from that entity. Our whole lives. I don't even know how to live in a world where Iran's not the jackwagon trying to destabilize the Middle East. What does it even look like, Kane?
No nobody knows. But my point in bringing this up is that Is It got to that point in order to just take them off the table and be done with it. What how is I I I think that they need to Bet on a successful op. As a way to make good. for no boots on the ground.
Would you agree with that, Kim? And we have boots on the ground in Carg Island. I'm not talking about going into Iran, I'm talking about Carg Island. going in a carg island, boots on the ground. Then If it's quick, successful, you're in and out, and you achieve your objective.
then that is going to go a long way. And making up with anyone who would have been critical over Trump saying no boots on the ground and then there's boots committed to the ground. although he's modified it. He said. You know, and Lorraine shows the piece.
From a news uh, what news channel is this? W A and E? It's in DC, where it says, yeah, he won't rule it out. He said, no, he doesn't want them there, but he's not going to rule it out.
So there's a bit of a modification, which I think is normal. I mean, you've got to look at it. We don't live in a static world with static threats, things change. But what instead of being super highly critical of a leader, I think, that's really trying to solve the problem with minimal loss of life and resource, I think people need to start being a little bit more critical of the entities that are trying to box in the leader of the free world and Americans on what we can and can't do. While the Iranians get to the Iranian regime gets to do whatever the hell they want to.
They get to fire rockets at allies and try to act like they're the victims when those allies strike back. Don't get played. And as it relates to Trump and Netanyahu, that op, remember, I told you this yesterday, they're trying to put daylight in between them. They want to but I think they have a good cop, bad cop. I think it's any discord is all performative.
But it's very interesting right now. And we'll see what happens. But Iran, they have no interest in making a deal. They never have. No one believes this.
Iran has no interest in making a deal. They're never going to make a deal. ever. Folks, our partners that bring you the program. It's the folks over at Super Beats that make cholesterol health daily.

It's repainted. Holy wow the difference It's a new aerial photo. I saw it while it was refilling, but I haven't seen like one where it's been. Wow, Kane, how is this not night and day difference? Oh my gosh.
It doesn't matter what old footage you go with or how far back you go, it's looked. I mean, it looks currently, right now, better than it's ever looked. I'm I'm even thinking that the day it was put in is about as close as you're going to get to where it looks today. It's I mean it looks so pretty. It looks really nice.
It looks really, really nice. And so I'm just saying, looks like he was right on this, doesn't it? Looks like POTUS was right on this. Maybe they should not have been giving him such a hard time. And how much, um Who was it that I was talking to?
I think I actually told my mom this because she was asking about the reflecting pool in that. And it was something like how many thousands of gallons a day was it leaking? I can't even remember. Juan is showing you right now. That's the old photo if you're watching the simulcast, and that's the current.
Oh my gosh, it's so much better looking. It's not even I mean it's so much nicer. Oh yeah. I bet it smells better too. And by the way, it was hundreds of thousands of gallons a week.
So we were at I think it was 16 million gallons a month, I think they estimated, that we were leaking out of that thing before. Wow. Wow, that's Crazy. That is absolutely crazy.
So good, that's I mean it looks so nice. Oh, except for that tenth there. All right, so welcome. Oh, welcome back to the program.
So, we were talking about the Carmelo Anthony story.
So, here's where it gets really bad.
So, I was showcasing for you how the parents refuse accountability. They think their son was done wrong. They apparently think that. in the United States. If you want to walk up into a tent.
If you want to take a knife to a school, And you want to cause problems and purposefully seek out and try to provoke because you know that you have a blade on you, so you're going to come out on top. and uh be the antagonist. then they think that that should be pr protected depending upon your skin color.
So what they want, they're racists. Carmelo Anthony's parents that are trying to, they want racial inequality to be codified, apparently. And this is where it gets even crazier. Did I make a joke about it? I don't think I made a joke about it.
I said, well, I hope that they don't do something like this.
So apparently, the jurors are not afraid for their lives. Remember Carmelo Anthony's mom when she got in her new car after she gave her impact statement? She didn't stay for sentencing. She didn't say she loves her baby so much, but not enough apparently to use some of the money that they were raised to hire a lawyer. Instead of using the public defender, she loves her baby so much, but apparently not enough to use the money that she used to buy a new car and a new house on a better lawyer.
She loves her baby so much, but apparently not enough to even stay there in the courtroom for sentencing. She loves her baby so much, she apparently not enough though to tell him goodbye as he's led away by the bailiff to go behind bars.
So spare me. And then she goes outside and says it's racism. That's what it all is. And the dad says, oh no, it's self-defense. I mean, how dare you?
So now... because of their behaviour, the ungodly behavior of his parents.
Now It looks like They're look they're the the um jury members are worried for their lives. There's a couple of different headlines on this. There's a listen to this somehow a trend for retaliation as it relates to the verdict. And none of them want to speak publicly. They're gagged from speaking publicly anyway, but it's also for their safety.
So now, according to a couple of sources, there are fears for the Anthony Jurors. because a disturbing viral trend of agitators That have been attacking people around the country, claiming that they were part of the jury that convicted him. And so, Anthony's supporters, they've had, they said he was discriminated against. And the judge has a gag order for the jurors, so for their safety, because. They'll be found out.
They will absolutely find who they are. There was a For instance in Jacksonville, Florida. A guy on a bike confronting another person who looked like he was homeless sitting on the sidewalk, and the cyclist goes, Wasn't he on jury selection? and then hit him. And they've been attacking people.
Uh there's a I mean I it it's just awful. Awful. Awful stuff. And This was something that was confirmed by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. There was a woman who was a witness, and she intervened.
and said he was not, he is a veteran. and leave him alone, and she went in there to defend him. And Now, I mean you've had the jurors. That I mean, this is wild.
Now they want to target the jurors. I'm surprised they're not targeting the family.
Well, in fact, some of them were. When the family was leaving the courthouse, Carmelo Anthony supporters were screaming threats at the family. It's all on video. I don't want to, I don't know, I really don't want to give air to any of it because it's awful. But they were, and they were screaming at his twin brother, you're next.
One of them was caught on camera saying that. We're not dealing with humans. These are demons. I don't know what. Good heavens And the family acts like, well, Austin met Calf, he impaled himself on the knife.
That's what they brought up in the trial, you know that, right? Did you hear that game? No. Yeah, they were arguing that Austin Metcalf. They were.
implying that Metcalf impaled himself on the knife. Why was the knife out? Right? There is no way you can argue this. That makes Carmelo Anthony not guilty.
No way. But hey, I'm going to tell you somethin'. If you're tellin' me That we have a protected right to go around getting people that we don't like. Dear God, you better pray. Because there's a lot of us out there that choose peace every day.
We choose it. doesn't come naturally to us. It's something we work hard. to choose. And those are the people you do not want to give a get out of hall, get out of school, get out of jail-free pass to.
So That I can't imagine being the family. The Metcalf family. and sitting in there and listening to that. That nonsense. That's just awful.
Awful. There was at one point. during the trial. Where They were showing photos of Austin Metcalf's Injuries and the jurors audibly gasped in horror. He apparently, what was it, a Swiss Army knife?
He Pierced he got through bone, into the chest cavity, into the heart with that knife. He brought a backpack to a track meet.
Well, that's always weird. and would not leave the tent. All the witnesses says he was the aggressor.
So, Lorraine has a good piece written up about it at Substack, about the trial and the verdict. And Now it's they they've appealed it, but now it's the Now it's the family. That is making all these problems. It's the family and the mother. They're going on doing the television rising.
What do you, if you're, you bring, if you go. and carry a knife to a sports event. And you walk into another school's tent. It's not really a tense, like the covering that was on the side of the track. And you walk in there.
And they tell you, they're like, what are you doing here? You need to leave, you need to leave, and you're there being an aggressor. Trying to get into people's faces? like looking to start a fight, that's not normal. That's not behavior of a good person.
That isn't behavior of someone who didn't intend to hurt anybody. People who don't intend to hurt anyone, like the mom said. They don't take a knife to a track meet. People who don't intend to hurt anyone, like the mom said, they don't go to where they are not supposed to be. People who don't intend to hurt anyone, like the mom said, they don't stay in that place where they were not supposed to be.
And after being asked approximately 15 times by every other person in that tent, that included a number of black students. You don't intend to hurt anyone, then you leave. But Carmelo Anthony didn't leave. And if you don't intend to hurt anyone, like his mom said, you definitely don't bring out your Swiss army knife. And if you don't intend to hurt anyone, like your mom said, you definitely don't plunge it into someone's chest.
So forcibly that it goes through bone.
So his mom is a liar. And She's a liar 'cause she lied about the make up of the jury. She's a liar because she they try to act like all the witnesses were white. Over half of the witnesses were black. And they all said the same thing.
And I I mean Wild. Just wild, and they want those jury members. They want to find out who those jurors are. That's You don't get You don't just get to your your skin color does not give you. a pass to go and stab people and start problems.
It just doesn't do that. It's a couple of other things. Moving back, you know, I was talking earlier about all of the Europeans that were coming to the United States and touring the United States because of World Cup and all of this, you know, the biggest competition, probably the biggest match in matches in World Cup history. And uh They're trying to say They had to come up with some way to make it look bad. I don't want to say the name of it, but it's this Washington, D.C.-based.
Media entity. They're saying the 2026 World Cup could be the hottest and dirtiest ever, the most polluting tournament ever. They've gotta make they gotta ruin it somehow. Mm-hmm. They have to try to make it better.
I'm surprised they're not trying to milkshake duck any of the Europeans that are over here. That was one of the things I had in the back of my mind when I was reading all of their different Accounts of where they were going and watching the videos of everywhere that they were visiting. I kept thinking the media is going to try to milkshake these people, aren't they? They're gonna try to get these folks, aren't they? I hope they don't, but 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. The strength is real. 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.

So we're still watching all that stuff with the Pentagon. CNN is saying that it looks like a false alarm, which I'm kind of inclined. I mean, I would like for it to be. Otherwise, it's super spooky. But that's.
That's some of the latest reporting that they're waiting to get confirmation, I think, from the Pentagon. NBA, the finals, score, the largest game three audience since the Jordan era. ABC's telecast averaged almost 24 million viewers Monday night. That's huge. 26.3 million viewers.
That was what they clocked at 11:15 p.m. Eastern Time in the closing minutes. That's pretty wild.
Now, the series is going to go at least five after San Antonio's win Monday.
So, they said that the finals are averaging over 19 million viewers. That's pretty that's pretty that's only second to they said to the 2017 finals that was Maybe just a little bit over for the first three games.
So, there's a lot of ad sales happening on that. World's largest graveyard, this is Sogoth, discovered by a sub at the bottom of the ocean. They say it's totally unexpected. Yeah, nobody unexpects the ocean bottom graveyard. You're right.
But they said it was found in the Indian Ocean by Chinese scientists, and that means CCP.
So, I don't believe it. Humans prefer to walk anti-clockwise. Scientists find, but the reason is unclear. And I have no idea why they even decided to study why humans prefer to walk anti-clockwise.
So that's counterclockwise. That's the actual phrase that smart people use. I know everyone's like, what is this anti-clockwise? It's counterclockwise. But they said that there's a left turn bias, not me.
I will turn right just because I am so allergic to the left. I only make right turns. I only turn right. That's right. If you turn right three times, it's the left.

Dana Lash with you.
So, we give you the update about Iran. Apparently, We are not Going to be bombing after we said we were bombing. I don't know. That's not happening.
So he's, POTA says. I I mean, he said that they're coming close to a deal, but he didn't say that a deal was made. Uh And this isn't the first time that we've heard that a deal is. I guess close enough that military action isn't required. But we've I'll watch this before.
Like I told you, Iran has zero interest. In making any kind of a deal. They have no interest. They never have had an interest in making any kind of a deal ever. They never will.
They don't want to. They have no interest in it. It's not anything they want to do. And this is just a song and dance to stretch it all out as much as possible. That's all this is.
And so POTUS says, I don't know.
Some people are saying, well, maybe the Carg Island threat worked. It's not the first time that he's brought it up though. It's not the first time. Apparently, so Axios, and I don't like this guy, I think the guy is an Iran stooge for Iran over at Axios. And he's always the guy that all this stupid stuff comes in.
Like he was the guy who was pushing the Lebanon stuff. About Lebanon being involved in the ceasefire for Pakistan when it was never involved. He's saying that Iran made some key concessions.
Well, what? What are the concessions? Apparently, the gaps narrowed for three key issues: the mechanism for releasing frozen assets, which is apparently important to the regime, arrangements for reopening the strait. and then n nuclear program, how those negotiations over the program will be conducted during the 60-day ceasefire. I'm done with it.
Now this is not a peace deal, by the way. Don't think it is. It's not even like a full-on ceasefire. at all. This is just a framework for negotiation to do that.
Yeah. I don't know. Iran has always said they're not giving up anything on nuclear. That's it.
So I mean, they've already kind of walked, they already walked back on the Strait of Wormuz, they already walked back on ceasefire.
So, I mean, I don't know why we're giving them another chance unless there's something, look. I'm waiting to see. Because remember, the last time they were going back and forth on this, the Saudis, that was to buy the Saudis' time.
So the Saudis could get this alternate pipeline in place and bypass. uh the straight for at least a portion of crude so That gave them enough time to do that. I don't know what this is, but Uh I don't know. I mean, the oil prices. They've been, you know.
They've been kind of going, drifting, they've been kind of going downward. descending, so to speak. But, you know, SIMCOM says the straits open. Yeah, until, you know, we got, they got drums there, though. That's what our Apache Apache helicopter was.
surveying the area when some Iranian drones took it down.
So We'll see. Maybe we'll have some more insight tonight. But You know, I'm telling you. Uh I don't know where we're going with this. Because, how long has this been going?
I mean, we've had two months that a deal was all but set. That's what we heard for the past couple of months.
So I think people need a little bit more insight. That's all I'm saying. They're going to have faith that POTUS can negotiate a deal. And we don't need to see everything right away? But we need something different than what we've been told for the past two months.
I think it's fair to say, right, Cain? I think that's fair to say. I think it always is an issue of messaging because Trump is not only the guy that we expect to hear the messaging from, but we also get it from the media after the filter. And so he's got a double battle there.
So he's got to be articulate and he's got to spell this out for people like you and me, who actually are like, wait a minute. Yeah. We need a little bit more. And, you know, the other thing, too, is that. He's a really good messenger, which makes me wonder who's pulling him back.
I again 10-4, I think that somebody is Trying to pull him back from this. Again, I think that's the anti. Yeah. Yeah. I think that he also is.
Look, this is a military operation, so I'm gonna intentionally not say a lot about it.
So I don't need to, yeah, we don't need to know all the cards yet. But The American people to support things going forward are going to need more insight than that. All right, today in Stupidity. All right, Democrat Rep Summer Lee says: if black Americans don't get reparations, they're just not going to vote. Wow, listen to this.
But yeah, it's absurd. And that's what they do. Because again, they're trying to disenfranchise you. Because if you believe that you're never gonna get reparations from this system, then you tap out. Oh, don't vote.
And then you won't for sure get any representation. That makes sense. I mean, if it's the left that's saying they won't vote, I'm okay with that. Don't vote. Don't do it.
