The White House is considering a housing bill that could lead to high-density housing in suburban areas, potentially changing the voting base and leading to a loss of control in Red America. Meanwhile, tensions are rising in the Middle East as Iran is accused of violating a ceasefire in the strait of Hormuz, with a cargo vessel being attacked in Omani waters.

I love basketball and I When I was in school, I did every sport, right? I did soccer.

Well, I didn't do softball, but I did soccer, I did track and field. I, you know, I could not do basketball for some reason because I just did not have it. I tried, I tried out every year, and it was very frustrating because I was varsity everything all day long. And that's like my thing, right? I got to be varsity.

I got to be number one. I got to go to state. I got to, that's, I'm very, very competitive. And I could never, Kane, I didn't even make JV. Basketball.

If you ask me, Dana, what is your biggest, most humiliating thing that you've ever experienced in your life to this day? I will say every basketball tryout. Every time. And I knew that I wasn't as good as some of the other players. I knew that.

I had no, believe me, I did not live in a fairy tale. But I'm like, well, maybe I loved playing it and I liked watching it. I'm like, maybe at least I can do maybe at least I can be JV with basketball. No! Oh man, I was so bad.

And every time I'd come out, I'd come out of school until I could drive on my own. My mom would pick me up. She'd pull up in a Honda Accord. And she'd have a cigarette hanging off her lip. Like Uh Clint Eastwood or somebody?

just hanging off her lip and she'd pull up. My mom was a very j is a very Gen X parent.

Well, she's a boomer, but she's like the stereotype, from the Gen X perspective, she's that stereotypical parent.

So. She'd pull up and she'd be like, Didn't make it? I'm like, No. She's like, At some point, are you going to stop trying? I'm like, Oh mom, you're killing my soul.

But she always picked me up. You know, she'd go to as much stuff as she could. 'Cause she worked a lot.

Now I say this because I love the game and it takes a lot to get me. to not watch something. And I never really got, I don't know, I just started getting out of it. I didn't watch a lot of basketball after a while, you know, just got busy, all this. And um never really got into the WNBA until They started getting some real standout players.

I mean, they had some talented people, but then they started to get some real superstars. has nothing to do with race or even sex really. And then, what really thrown me off is Caitlin Clark, the way she's been treated lately. And I tried watching one game, and I was telling Steve and Kanawan on break. I can't even remember.

I just. The way that Everything was act, I would say normally the way that plays were being called, or rather, no calls happening with some clear, obvious fouls, made me, it just diminished. I'm trying to figure out how to put this. Respect for the game itself. Right, they were not treating the game or their players with respect, and it Diminished it to the point where the viewer could feel it.

And I just had no interest in watching it. I had no interest in watching Caitlin Clark get her ass kicked on the court physically, literally, not in the game, but by other women who are jealous of her because she's a white straight player. And now, honestly, you can't convince any of us otherwise. We did not go in thinking that it was, you know, completely racial. But honestly, I got to say, it really is feeling that way.

Case in point, Alyssa Thomas. They didn't how okay, can we show this or do we just show the picture? Are we gonna get sued if we show the video even though it's newsworthy? Mm-hmm. I don't know how this is not a foul.

How is this not a foul? This, watch this. I think Juan's got it ready. I mean Caitlin To the ground. They took her to the ground.

Took her to the ground. Yeah. Hand to the neck, and then Alyssa Thomas steps. And then that's the. We can only show the freeze.

So they take her to the ground. She's, I mean, she's literally pushed to the ground by force. And Alyssa Thomas has both her hands on her at one point, pushes her down. She kicks her knee when she gets up, but she purposefully. slides her fist.

from Caitlin Clark's shoulder onto her neck. And like Hits her neck. That's on purpose. That is on purpose. Purpose.

And I They do not. They do not call her the way that everybody else is. That fist in the throat.

Now, Fever's coach Stephanie White, she went off on officials. She said that those were two cheap shots on Caitlin Clark. And then the WNBA is wondering, like, well, why do people not like us? Why do you think? Listen to this: cut 21.

This is fever coach Stephanie White. Listen to this. And then number two? You're coming in here aware of what happened two nights ago? And that still happens?

Absolutely unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable. And the reckless closeout that they actually reviewed. And the foot still comes down on top of the defender's foot? That wasn't upgraded?

Absolutely disrespectful. We have A generational talent. And a W NBA superstar. Who had two cheap shots right there that weren't called? Mm-hmm.

And I just say again, absolutely unacceptable. That's insane that this even has to be said. I mean, how was that? Steve how in the world could that not have been? Called.

Like what I was I don't get that. I was trying to see if the ref was looking the other way because it looked like the chain's possessions, but they saw it turn the other way. And then Thomas took a step, like an Alan Iverson step over her, too, like double down. And it wasn't called. Yeah.

This is one of the craziest. The way that they treat her is horrible.

Now, That coupled with the fact that I'm gonna pull this up, this story up. That she wasn't even included.

So they did this. Um The rosters and all the promotional materials and all of this stuff, they left her off, for instance. They left her off the national team roster for Paris Olympics. And then they were leaving her off. Like like a lot of the promotional stuff.

Which I don't understand why. I mean, is she not? The like the most Visible Player in the WNBA right now? Am I missing something? Steve, is there anybody, and I'm asking Steve because Steve follows all of this religiously.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but she's the most visible player, right? If not her, then her teammate Sophie. I mean, they're the two biggest stars. It just doesn't make any sense. This just doesn't, and they may, they, what did they name?

Um, When they did a list of their most marketable, they said Aja Wilson was their most marketable player, and they had Clark listed third. I don't even understand this. They, this doesn't make any sense. Why they keep trying to. Shove Caitlin Clark.

To Like the floor, let me not just like physically, but also. Like in all of their promotional materials, optics, league recognition. She's the one she draws the ratings. I have never seen anything like this. ever.

This is just Uh crazy.

So I, you know, I get. Why Stephanie White went off on these officials the way she did. She was like, these are two cheap shots. She was like, there is a pattern of her. Being officiated differently.

From all of these other players. And we've been talking about this for a while. Yeah, and Lorraine reminds me she also need Caitlin Clark in the groin as well. She was out. All last season.

That's right. Because she had a back injury. And some people were trying to say, oh, well, that's not because the end, you can't. She was getting her, she was getting her S beat on the court. I think she got injured on the court not from playing, but from these other broads.

That's what I think. I mean, this is pfft. The way that they're treating her. You're not going to get any more women who want to play with WNBA by treating your golden goose like this. By treating your star player because you're mad that she doesn't fit the stereotype, I guess, of what they think a WNBA player should be.

I mean, she left the game after that. There was over five minutes left in the third quarter, and she didn't come back. And they had asked White, and you heard that in the exchange, whether it impacted her health. And she said that she wasn't sure, but they were egregious. That look I felt like I was watching MMA.

That wasn't a basketball game. That was something that you'd see in the UFC. what I saw in the court. That's Wild. to see this.

Are they just wanting to run her out? What is the end goal? They're mad they want to teach her a lesson? We don't want any white street chicks in WNBA. Is that what it is?

What's the lesson though? Yeah, like what is yeah, what what Kane, what is the lesson? What is it? No straight white chicks in WNBA? I mean, what what else is the point?

She worked hard just as everybody else did to get where she is. And the hatred for her is insane. Never seen anything like this before. This is just something. I mean, this is a league, by the way.

They ought to be they ought to be treating Caitlin Clark like a goddess because this league has been entirely subsidized by the men, and now you have a woman that actually could make it financially independent, but I guess they want to be welfare queens and they want to treat the NBA like a sugar daddy. The way that this is being officiated, and the way that these players are acting and behaving towards her, and the bigotry that they're demonstrating on the court, they are making themselves second class. They are making WNBA look like a joke. They're making all of it look like second class. It is trashy.

It's not a basketball game. It's a bunch of bitches on the court who are trying to do a beat-down high school style. That's what it is. Ridiculous. And they all ought to be kissing her backside because nobody would have eyes on them if it wasn't for Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham on the court.

Nobody would be watching you. This is crazy. I know we have some friends of ours, and we hear about this from our friends that have daughters that are younger and still in school and play sports. And They're the ones who are very athletic. Like the jocks are very aware of this.

And these girls are like, I'm not kidding. Like, one of our friends had told my husband: my daughter would never want to play in WNBA. Like this, turned her. She's would never want to go and pursue a professional career in basketball because of this. Because this is what happens.

If you don't fit the mold, then you get treated like this. That's what happens. How sad is that? Like all of these young, you would, this could have been an amazing opportunity for them to attract. All these new players And remember what Mia Ham did for women's soccer in the 90s?

Like when I was in school, I was in high school when you had Bendit like Beckham and all that stuff and the big soccer craze. And I remember Mia Ham, everybody knew Mia Ham. Mia Ham did a lot to really elevate women's soccer and everybody followed it. And they didn't treat her like that. There was, they lifted her up, she lifted her team up, and it attracted so many girls to play soccer.

And it really, I mean, not that it was delegitimatized, but you know what I mean here. Really legitimatized it, legitimized it. I'm talking like Candace Owens, it legitimized it. That's what happens when you make fun of those videos too much. Legitimate has.

They legitimized it.

So She went from They're they're delegitimizing Basketball with WNBA. by treating Caitlin Clark like this. They should be celebrating her and realize that a rising tide lifts all ships, but they're not doing it. I mean, are they that stupid? And so, can I ask for one of y'all getting it?

Where are the league officials? Why is nobody else calling this out? Why does it feel like it's Caitlin Clark and her coach against the world? Am I missing something? This is horrible.

And you can't tell me. I mean, you can't tell me this isn't about race. It is. That's what it seems like. Am I wrong, Steve?

I'll let you wait. Is that wrong? I don't want to be wrong and cry racism where it doesn't exist, but what else do you got? You are the commentator, but that's not a bad observation. I mean, good heavens.

Steve tries to be Switzerland so bad, but then we'll go to break and he'll be like, and you know what? We're all laughing because we know it's true. God love 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. 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.

Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. We are at the bottom of the second hour going through everything from the Second Amendment SCOTUS ruling and the impact with that vampire rule out in Hawaii.

The spirit of aloha met the spirit of the Second Amendment injustice. And then, of course, there is this. We talked just a little bit about it earlier this week because I was talking about how in our town we've been fighting high density development. And we have like some city council members that have betrayed voters and we're looking into whether or not it's actually a violation of law because they apparently went and met with these, got wind and dying on taxpayer dollars, meeting these big developers. And they were going to come bring hundreds.

It's a development of hundreds of apartments, rentals, right? You will own nothing and be happy.

So we've been fighting that. That's where we were. It's where I was night before last. It's what we've been dealing with day after day.

Now, when I was talking about this on social media, I followed. this bill, but I hadn't done a deep dive into it just yet. But my friend Daniel Horowitz did. And this bill, just so you know. There was a housing bill that POTUS was expected to sign that he now is refusing to sign because he wants the SAVE Act passed.

And there's been a lot written about this bill. It's been called a landmark housing affordability bill. It's bipartisan, which is a word that's thrown around like you're supposed to celebrate it. But I immediately, my red flag goes up when I hear the word bipartisan because we have the power. I don't want to be bipartisan in anything.

So he's not signing it right now. And I'm wondering if that's a good thing. Because there are some things that I'm hearing about this bill that are really, really bad news and affect zoning laws and actually would make what we are doing here, our fight in my town, harder if this is passed.

So, joining us now, my very good friend, Daniel Horowitz, who you can follow on X at RM Conservative. He's a senior editor over at the Blaze, and he has his own podcast, and he's a policy analyst. He joins me now via Video CR podcast. Good to see you, my friend.

So, tell me, because I've read a little bit about this bill, and then I had people saying, Okay, you need to talk to Daniel Horowitz about this because he's followed this bill very closely. And you heard what I was just explaining. This now is very of significant interest to me. A lot of people who live in these suburban areas, especially my red district, Daniel, in Texas, the last large red urban county in the entire country, and they're trying to flood it with high-density housing. And I'm told that this bill is going to make it easier for them to do so.

What do you know about this bill?

So, so Dana, obviously, this bill, I followed it from its inception in the Senate Banking Committee about a year and a half ago. Elizabeth Warren with Tim Scott, they got together just so you know. 100% of Democrats voted for it, meaning there was not a single dem no vote in the House or Senate. Five conservative senators and 32 conservative House members voted no. It expands every single HUD program that the president and his OMB director, every single annual budget, promised to either trim or eliminate altogether because we understood that, A, we shouldn't even have a federal housing department, but that these programs were tools for social transformation.

This is what Obama was trying to do, if you remember in the second term, create a sort of national zoning standard to, let's just say, create what I like to call ghetto stone to gerrymander Red America. You're absolutely right. What you're observing in your... County If I had to distill the biggest threat to our existence in Red America into one thing, it's this. You know, because of the monopolies, the lack of free market, we don't have anything.

The technocrats, the big tech, big ag, big food, big pharma, they control everything. The one thing we have. That the bad guys don't is land. We still have what Jefferson envisioned as a small time land ownership society, particularly in red, rural, ex-urban, and some parts of suburban America. There is a multi-frontal assault on that.

Whether it's the wind, the solar, the data centers, the Section 8, the high densification. And It cuts to the core of why Red America is not really red. Because most, as you well know, 90% of elected Republicans in these areas are terrible. And rather than looking at whole of the people, quality of life, broad-based prosperity, they use this term called economic development, which is targeted special interests. And they work with their land developer builder donors to go and basically, this is how you have refugee resettlement in red areas.

It's cultural, it's demographic, it's quality of life. Um, so this bill is a loaded gun. On all of that. It's like dropping lighter fluid on that multifrontal assault. It creates a national standard for zoning that is not mandatory.

But the but HUD creates it. Um to loosen Zoning.

Now, I understand we have targeted areas and circumstances where sometimes zoning or restrictions on what you do on your property could be too much, but you gotta deal with that locally. The last thing you want is to denude ourselves of our self-defense. Two. To block the social transformation, zoning is the one thing it can do. And what it does is it creates.

Multiple programs to shovel money to local politicians and developers. To densify and overbuild, the criterion are things like transient. Transit-oriented housing, duplexes, limited setbacks, smaller yards. It's all in there. I mean, you know exactly where this is coming from.

I'm looking at this and thinking: this is like the Obamacare of housing. And there's nobody on the field. This is bad because I'm trying to wrap my mind around a national standard for zoning. Why would that even be considered at the national level?

So I think Well, I know why the Democrats are doing it. Um Republicans got a couple things like Easing environmental regulations. I mean, they got a couple things in return that Elizabeth Warren had to give to buy them off. But in general, both parties buy into this. And it drives me nuts.

I've been talking about this for two years. This erroneous premise of what is causing the housing affordability crisis. At its core, In the aggregate nationally, we do not have a supply problem, particularly in Red America. Actually, Texas. Florida, Tennessee, there's exceptions, but in general, they're overbuilt from the COVID buildup.

We have 10.3 months of new supply, which is above average. The problem is, we all know what caused it. It's what caused the 06 bubble. It's the government fiscal and monetary policies, the 2.6 trillion in MBS purchases by the Federal Reserve, the near-zero interest rates forever, which were artificial. Then, when inflation came because of all the spending, then rates had to come up.

So now you have this generational trap that's freezing the market. And the proof is in the pudding. Two days ago, the housing report for the new month came out. And for the first time, Resales are more expensive than new homes because owners are just trapped because they don't want to lose that low interest rate. But the good news is, it's gradually coming down if the government doesn't bail it out.

Unfortunately, the president has said multiple times he wants prices to be affordable, but he wants them to remain high for those who already have them. I wish we can do that, but that's life.

So, under that premise, They're doing it. It is true that parts of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut might choke off supply, but you know what, Dana? Why should we socially transform Red America and hand the next Democrat a social transformational tool? To build in places that, frankly, we shouldn't want to incentivize people to live. Exactly.

I think that's a great point as well. And if you're just joining us, we're talking with our very good friend Daniel Horowitz, who's been following this. It's the housing bill that Trump, when I first saw the headline, because all of this happened right as we had these town hall hearings and we had our spin program hearing and all of this. And then everyone's like, oh my gosh, you got to talk to Daniel Horowitz about this. And then I see, oh, Trump's mad and he didn't sign it.

And I was very excited and hopeful for a minute, Daniel. Like, oh my gosh, Trump thinks that this is also trash and he's not going to, but that's not why he's not signing it.

Well, I'll look, I'll take his opposition anyway we can get it. But I think if you could indulge just a political point here. I think what disturbs me, I said on my show that we are now at a point where there's nothing behind the drywall. We don't have a movement that even knows what it believes in. You could have Obamacare.

in an alternative universe that didn't pass 15 years ago, pass overnight. And if it's not put on the algorithms, or Trump doesn't talk about it, or the cool algorithmic podcasts don't talk about it. People wouldn't know, wouldn't care to know. Right. Yeah.

And this is because this is not the only thing I've seen this with. I'm talking about fundamental things. God forbid, should we be fiscal conservatives? I'm not even talking about the spending and the expansion of HUD. I'm talking about the cultural things that, Magon, we all say, yeah, get your refugees in Section 8 out of my thing.

But then when the ball comes into play, It's all good. Yeah. Well, and because I would, because I like how Tommy Tubberville, Senator Tubberville, was on record opposing this, and I'm so glad that he was. And he said he did not vote for this, you know, Road to this Housing Act because he says that it's basically a blank check to blue cities and it's going to fund illegals. That's what he actually does.

Let's play this for Daniel real quick, and I want to get your reaction to this, watch. $139 trillion in debt. We're giving more money to a department that to me is just pushing money out the door and we don't know where it goes most of the time. Right now, most of it's probably going to illegals living in this country. It's not going to help the middle class.

And if it helped the middle class, I'd be all in. But I think this is a bill that might touch a little bit of the middle classes, but it's going to go to a lot of people that are here illegally to build houses for them. If you want to fix housing, drop the interest rate. That's how you fix housing and make it more affordable. That makes sense.

So Chip Roy made a similar point that If it once you're going to do this, at least, you know, so. We're already on the second term of Trump, and we have not done an 80-20 issue in budget reconciliation. And it's not even being proposed in the next one, if they do it, to cut off funding the sanctuary cities.

Okay, that was pretty basic.

So at least the new funding. At least have a condition that if you're a sanctuary, you can't get it. It doesn't do it.

So, one of two things will happen: either it will all go to blue areas, or what I'm saying, it might be even worse, it will incentivize decrepit Republicans. And I'm telling you, nothing gets between a local Republican politician and a federal grant. It is the kryptonite of Red America.

So, while it doesn't mandate it, it sets a standard, and then it has funds if you adopt the standard. That's essentially tantamount to a mandate. Yeah, that oh, that is a good point. It is like a mandate. I mean, the zoning laws on this.

Which basically turns, I mean, it the way it's been written about is that it turns suburbs in rural America into a bunch of Section 8 housing. Like in my area, and this is where I'm hoping at least that the administration and other Republicans deciding this would react. And I wanted to get your thoughts on these statistics.

So, I so in my area, again, like I said, we're the last large red urban county in the entire United States. If this district, if my county, Tarrant County, flips, Texas is gone. That's why our city council races are thousands and thousands. School board races, thousands of dollars, state races, hundreds of thousands. The amount of money to fight over this is crazy.

And they're starting to gain ground.

So, when they want to change zoning here so that they can put, because we don't have, it's all single-family homes. We voted against it for over a decade repeatedly. And now they want to come in and put all these hundreds of, you know, hundreds of apartments in here.

Now, Daniel, you know what happens when you start introducing high-density and only and hundreds of rentals into solid red areas. I've seen a couple of things. You've written about it like a year or so ago. What happens to the voting base if it's solidly read and you introduce that?

So, as you well know, it might surprise you, but I'm from Baltimore County, Maryland. I hope to get out of here. Um in the 1980s It was kind of like where Tarrent County is. It was actually, it had Republican executives. And In the late 80s, early 90s, that's exactly what they did.

And now it's a super duper majority. Democrat went to 50-50, then 60-40, then all Democrat, and then now like Mamdani. You know, crazy communist Antifa Democrat. And that is the slippery slope. You got to be crazy to go for this stuff, even without the fiscal cost and things like that.

That is, that's the single biggest threat to Red America. And I got to say, this is one of the things DeSantis has done in Florida to leverage state policy to make sure we reclaim metro areas we've lost. Because what we're starting to find in a lot of red states is that any place with more than three people in it is turning blue.

So if we're relegated to the most rural counties in the red states, we're done. We cannot lose places like Turant County. This bill is a nuclear bomb on that. Oh boy, we got to follow this so closely. I am so happy that you've been right there following this because, you know, if they're not going to, if they can't flip it through voting, they're going to try to flip it through another way.

This is just another back door. And I can't believe so many Republicans are biting into it. It's blowing my mind. It's like Sepuku. What are they doing?

I'll give you the last word. Yeah. Well, I mean, look, we're living in a time where whether it's foreign labor, whether it's marijuana, whether it's the abortion pill, whether it's big tech owning American land and ranches and farms, whether it's solar and wind grants that all but one Republican governor supported it, actually more so per capita than Democrat governors, whether it's Iran, Turkey, Qatar. I mean, I didn't mean to throw a bunch of things there, but I'm just saying this is the listless vessel syndrome that we're facing that the dark forces could take over the right without firing a shot. And I don't even think people would even know what to care about if they don't have a chat GPT to ask.

Right. That's a good point. Daniel Horowitz, you can find him on X at our M Conservative and senior editor at The Blaze. Check out his podcast, The R Podcast, as well. My good friend, thank you for all your work and your clarity.

It's good to talk with you. We'll talk again soon. Speak to you later. Of course. If you're a parent or grandparent, you already know what's going on.

Our kids are being flooded with messages about gender ideology, sexuality, and sexual exploitation from social media, Hollywood, and even their own schools, often without parents knowing.

So that's why I'm grateful for the work of Concerned Women for America. For more than four decades, CWA has been fighting for faith, family, freedom, and parental rights and the protection of our kids. And they're taking the fight to state legislatures, to Congress, and even the Supreme Court to defend our girls and preserve common sense. This Title IX month, CWA has launched its Defend Our Girls campaign. When you give $20 or more, you'll receive one of CWA's educational resources on gender identity or sexual exploitation.

Give $35 or more, and you'll receive both. These are practical tools to help you navigate today's culture with truth, confidence, and clarity. And your gift helps protect parental rights and defend opportunities for girls. Ensure that families have a voice in the policies shaping our country. Join the fight today and visit concernedwomen.org/slash Dana.

Backstage, on the road, it's loud, messy, real. And that's the best part: whole crew, no plan, just moving. Good thing Nissan builds for that kind of chaos. Not just test tracks, real life scenes, late nights, road trips, all of it. That's why it holds up.

It is that season. It's summer. We're heading into Independence Day. And for the first time ever, we have the Great American State Fair, which kicked off last night.

Now I got to tell you something. I love big I don't want to say spectacle, that sounds like a pejorative, but I love demonstrations. I love big demonstrations of. Patriotism and celebrating this nation. And I have to tell you, I have never.

Seen the events like we have seen that have been celebrating this country's greatness. It's been unlike anything other. And everybody's getting so excited about it. Like our kids are going, Do you know what's going to be at the fair? And they're watching the UFC fight night, and everybody's watching and waiting to see the Washington Monument all illuminated.

It is so well done and well executed. And I have to say, I really think that the people who put on the UFC fight night ought to get Emmys or Oscars or something. I've never seen anything so well executed in my life.

Now, when I was running down the jobs of all of the people that make this possible, there's one that kept sticking out. The title is the Ambassador and Chief of Protocol. Of the United States. That sounds like a very stern title. And then I realized that's Monica Crowley, Ambassador Monica Crowley.

Everybody loves Monica Crowley. She is like one of the most joyful people I think we've ever seen. And she is the ambassador and chief of protocol for the United States. She is there to set the tone, make sure all of this stuff happens seamlessly. She receives all of these foreign leaders and dignitaries, and she does it with such grace and she makes it look so easy.

And I really just need her to plan my life. She just joins us now via video. Ambassador Monica Crowley, who I have to say, you're like America's hostess and boss. Like, beside, like, aside from POTUS, you make what you do look so easy, and I just want to give you effusive praise for it because I know that it is a hard task, but you do it so incredibly well, and you're behind all of the America 250 stuff. And I just think now you need to plan things for America forever.

I think that needs to be your job because you've been doing such an amazing, it's just wonderful. Thank you so much for joining us, and congrats on all of this success and the kickoff of the Great American State Fair. Thanks so much for joining us on this. Oh, Dana, it's such an honor and a joy to be with you today. Thank you so much for having me.

And also, thank you so much for those beautiful words. You know, this is a true labor of love to help plan and work with our extraordinary teams on the inside and on the outside to bring all of these events to life for the American people to really celebrate America's exceptionalism, our exceptional history, our God-given freedoms, and our real love of country. You know, there's a lot of indoctrination going on, and we're seeing a lot of communists and others getting elected in our great cities. And so, what we decided to do is try to restore that shared sense of patriotism and a renewed sense of civic pride in our very exceptional nation.

So, it's just an honor and a joy to be part of it. And it all comes from my heart. I don't know about you, Dana, but I was a very, very little girl back in 1976 for the bicentennial. And while I don't remember every single detail of that special Independence Day, What I do remember is being down the Jersey Shore with my family and having a small American flag in one hand and a sparkler in the other. And I remember the fireworks overhead and being at the beach surrounded by friends and the community and our neighbors, just being enveloped in this sense of great pride in our country.

And that is the kind of feeling that we want to restore now, try to bring the country back together in a common point of celebration of our great, great nation. And making the most excellent use of all of these spaces in DC, I mean, with the National Mall going all the way up to the monument, because by the way, folks, the Great American State Fair, it's running all the way through July 10th, and they're going to illuminate the Washington Monument at night. And that goes from the 1st through the 5th. From my understanding, Ambassador, we have booths representing every single state, so visitors to our nation's capital can basically travel the country by just walking the mall. Yes, exactly right.

I mean, this is the first of its kind once-in-a-lifetime experience, Great American State Fair. It's really a World's Fair experience that we wanted to create on the National Mall. Again, to bring the country together. Visitors from around the world are descending on our glistening capital city now for these experiences. And yes, all 56 states and territories are represented on the National Mall, each with their own pavilion, highlighting what makes their state so unique and special.

How do they contribute to the health and greatness of our great republic?

So it's a lot of fun in all the pavilions. And then, of course, Dana, we have an unprecedented 110-foot Ferris wheel right in the middle of the National Mall, which will take you way up.

So you're getting a vantage point of our capital city from this Ferris wheel that is not to be believed. And if you take it up at night, oh, the Capitol just glistens. And then, of course, we're going to have rodeos, musical performances. A lot of programming on the main stage. I'm going to be taking part tomorrow, starting at 2 p.m.

and then again at 2:30, on some great discussions on the main stage. Ton, a ton of really great programming, fun for the entire family to celebrate America. I love that you said this is so much like the World's Fair because I live in Texas now, originally from St. Louis, and we had the 1904 World's Fair. That city, my hometown, still to this day talks about.

And so, to see something like this at that level and in our nation's capital is just an amazing shared moment. We're talking to folks just joining us, Ambassador Monica Crowley, who is chief of protocol in the United States. I have to tell you, one of my favorite things when I watch the president meet with foreign leaders is I immediately look for you because I know that you're part of the receiving and you watch the protocol and the tone for this. That has to be an incredibly difficult job because POTUS meets obviously with so many foreign leaders and foreign dignitaries. Can I ask what does the average prep look like for Ambassador Crowley going into one of these meetings, going into receiving one of these foreign dignitaries?

Well, thank you for that question, Dana. First of all, I want to acknowledge my extraordinary team. I can't do any of this without them. They are a group of just incredibly dedicated and committed individuals who support our mission in the Office of the Chief of Protocol, which is to manage the diplomatic engagements for the President, the Vice President, and also the Secretary of State.

So anytime there is a foreign dignitary visiting the White House or the State Department, we handle all of that.

So we arrange, we work very closely with our foreign counterparts, the embassies here in Washington, D.C. I'm on a first-name basis with pretty much every foreign ambassador as part of the diplomatic corps here in D.C. We work very closely together to plan and then carry out the visit. And when we're abroad, it's the same thing, only the host nation is hosting us. But in both of those cases, we want to make sure that everything is done properly.

It's all done according to Protocol, because the joke in protocol Dana is that when everything goes great, nobody really notices because it goes off without a hitch. It looks beautiful. But when something goes wrong, everybody notices.

So we want to make sure that to the extent that we can make it as perfect as possible, we do. And it's all about creating the most optimal environment so that the most effective, robust diplomacy can take place on both sides for the president and also for the visiting head of state or foreign minister to make sure that they have the access and resources that they need to do their jobs well, to make sure that our bilateral relationships are as strong as they can be. I hope everyone appreciates. The monumental task that you just described, because even before POTUS shakes the hand of a visiting foreign leader, that tone for how all of that's going to happen and what how everybody feels going into it is set by you and your team. You guys set the stage for that.

So, if there's something missed, or if there's which clearly there hasn't been, that is immediately felt.

So, it is one of the most important jobs I think that you could have when you're dealing with all of these foreign leaders, especially in this day of age as well. We're talking with Monica Crowley, Ambassador Crowley, chief of protocol for the U.S., because she's planning all of the Freedom 250. Can I ask how many people are we expecting to come to the nation's capital? I know a lot of families that are traveling to DC, some for the first time, some for the first time during the summer to experience all of this, because as you said, it is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Yes, absolutely.

So we've got the Great American State Fair, which opened today, actually last night when we kicked it off on the mall, but it's running for the next 16 days through July 10th. And again, the website is freedom250.org. You can go there and find out all of the details. We'd like you to register, but you don't have to walk in, sir, welcome. You can just walk in on the mall.

Everything is free and open to the public to celebrate our country.

So the Great American State Fair with all of these great Entertainment, music, rodeos, the Ferris wheel, the pavilions-that's all going through from 10 a.m. to the evening hours on these beautiful, beautiful summer nights here in DC through July 10th. And of course, our tent poll event, Dana, is July 4th.

So, we have a couple of things going, and like I said, this is a nationwide celebration.

So, go to the website to find out what's happening in your state, in your community. But first, I want to mention New York. We are doing a parade. It's actually an international naval review with modern naval vessels. Very complicated to do, but also a parade of tall ships, about 30-35 of them, are going through New York Harbor and then up the Hudson River starting in the morning hours of July 4th.

It is going to be absolutely breathtaking. And there's a lot of talk now about New York and the communists getting elected. But I want everybody to remember that New York City was actually our first capital. And George Washington actually gave his farewell address from France's tavern. In downtown New York City.

So, New York is the centerpiece. But, of course, here in Washington, D.C., we are going to host the salute to America on the evening of July 4th, starting at about 6 p.m. We're going to have a long and absolutely beautiful program from the National Mall telling the story of America.

So, we have this gorgeous narrative that's going to go about three or four hours telling the story of America from our culture, our movies, our music, jazz, and RB that are uniquely American. We're going to have very special guests telling those individual parts of the American story. Innovation, Elon Musk going back to, you know, going back to Henry Ford and the Wright brothers. And we're telling every piece of the American story on the mall that night. We're going to have fantastic musical performances.

And the president, of course, will be addressing the nation at the end of the program. And Dana, since this is Donald J. Trump, he promised the American people the biggest and the greatest fireworks display in the history of the world.

So we are going to deliver that at the end of the night. I mean, it's going to be hard to top Mount Rushmore, but I know this is going to be equally spectacular, if not more so. I'm so excited. Last question for you, talking with Ambassador Crowley. I have to get your reaction to.

All of these World Cup visitors, all of these people from around the world that happened, they're going to be celebrating Independence Day. Are observing us celebrate it here in the United States, and they're seeing all of this for the first time. I mean, they're so excited about, I mean, everything America, the yellow school bus, the food, the free refills, you know, they love the small town Americana that there are flags everywhere. I just wanted to get your reaction to that because all of this, I mean, it's just a perfect way to radicalize all these people and send them back to their countries so that they can have experienced freedom and spread it there. Yes, well, President Trump knew what he was doing when he really fought for hosting the World Cup here in the United States for that very reason, Dana.

All of these international travelers are here and they're nationalists. They're cheering on their own team, their own country, as well they should. But the America that they are experiencing is so radically different from what their media, whether it's European media, Asian media, the lies that they have been fed about the United States and about the American people and who we are as a country and as a people, that when they get here and they actually experience us in person and experience our great food at Denny's and In N Out Burger, they're tweeting this. They're all in my algorithm. I'm sure they're all in yours too.

And they're saying, America is an absolute joy. What a blessing it is to the world. And we've not been told the truth about this country. That is the best and probably most effective diplomacy we could ever hope to have. Because they're going back to their home countries and they're sharing with their friends, their neighbors, their family.

And they will encourage all of those people to come and visit us here in America. It was just an amazing tour to force to be able to have secured that and to see this all happen right when we're getting ready for the 250. Ambassador Crowley, you've done an amazing job and you have represented our nation so fantastically well. And thank you so much for helping to plan this amazing celebration that we can all appreciate and attend. God bless you.

We're praying for you, safe travels, and continue to do such an amazing job. We're grateful for you. Thanks for joining us. Thank you, Dana, for the very kind words and for all of the support. God bless you and everybody watching.

And God bless America. God bless America. Happy Independence Day. Thank you, Ambassador. Folks who want to make the program possible, it's our friends over at Ghostbed.

I hate Rumble. I think it's a garbage platform that suppresses me, so I'm not gonna tell you to go there, avoid it at all costs. You can also watch YouTube, et cetera. As soon as we can get off Rumble, we're gonna get off Rumble. I cannot stand that platform.

It absolutely just puts a boot on the throat of this show. They hate us at Rumble. If you don't have a stake in ownership, you're canned.

So I'm like, I dealt with the legacy press and all the left cards my whole life. I'm not going to sit here and deal with it with a cross-dressing, wannabe, right-leaning platform, not dealing with it. Uh anyway, so that's my thought.

So, I would suggest avoiding that like you would AIDS and instead go to like YouTube or Facebook or X where you can watch the simulcast. And like I said, as soon as we can get away from that, we are.

Now, in the meantime, Let's see. We've got a lot of stuff to, well, we scouted it. Actually, we don't really have a lot of stuff. We have like Supreme Court, and we've been going over that. I don't know how deeply you guys want to dive into all the nitty-gritty.

I mean, we can sit here and get into all the legality and all that other stuff, or we can sit here and talk about Iran as well, because nothing's really so much changed over there, except now there's increasing questions on how close are we? with a cutter and then the straight that's a whole other A whole other situation.

Now, I saw this on, let me pull this up. This was on X just a little bit before. We went to air. And Apparently, there already was an attack on a vessel in Omani waters.

Now, when I say Omani waters, I mean. Uh so you have the strait of Hormuz. Which is to the north, and then when you go around the little peninsula, then you get into the Gulf of Oman as you go around the Horn of Africa, right? And you get out into the Indian Ocean and you get out to the Maldives and all of that.

So This is actually in Omani waters, so a little different. But apparently, they already had a vessel that was traversing the strait. that ended up Apparently, it was the United Kingdom maritime trade, it was the United Kingdom maritime trade operations. They issued an attack advisory because they got. The initial reports that there was a vessel that was struck on its starboard side by some kind of unidentified projectile.

Off of Oman, and it caused damage to the bridge. And so it was just right around that outcrop there. They said there was no casualties, no environmental impact, meaning, so this was a cargo vessel, so it means that they didn't have anything that was like leaking into the ocean, et cetera, but it was a cargo vessel that was hit.

Now we have attacks now in Owani Waters.

So, and we have apparently a number of tankers there that are active, et cetera.

So, immediately.

Now I know everyone's being careful. They're like, well, it's unconfirmed. That The Iranians are responsible. Are you serious? Like it's unconfirmed that Al Gore is a pervert.

Like it's unconfirmed that Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile. Like it's unconfirmed that Steve Bannon tried to stab Trump in the back when he fell out of favor and tried to rehabilitate a convicted, you know, sex offender and try to undermine the last administration. I mean, what? We know. Who else would it be, Kane?

Keep telling you. Oh, it's the Mormons. The Mormons did it. Or it's probably the Buddhists or some of the Shinto followers, I'm sure. Who else do you think it is?

It's the Girl Scouts, they did it. What do you mean?

Well, we don't know whether the Iranians are responsible or not. Uh They so the way that that Iran would previously warn Well, has Not previously, but has always previously warned other vessels, is that They've always had these strikes, live ammunition, but it causes little damage, and apparently that's what was involved here.

So This, um, it sounds to me, Cain, would you identify that as a? Violation of a ceasefire. Yeah, I mean it sure sounds like it. That's what it sounds like.

So it sounds like.

Sounds like that to me.

So, no casualties, etc. Iran wants everybody to know they own the strait. That's their straight. And that's what they kept seeing. Saying over and over again.

They want to harass everybody. And they want to remind everybody in every way that they can that they're in the position to do this, right? I mean, so ask what you're asking in Slack. Genuinely. Concerned, and I want to know how much of this is just empty flexing.

Like, sure, they've got a couple of probably missiles here and there. They've got proxies in so many different areas in that region that it makes sense that they may have some. Armaments that they can do these little things with.

So, is this just empty flexing and the media is just. exaggerating this? Who knows? Because obviously they have an agenda. It wouldn't surprise me.

Yeah, I mean, I don't doubt that. I mean, clearly they do. But. The I mean, I would say that this would be This isn't a ceasefire if this is happening. There's no ceasefire being observed if this is happening.

What aggravates me is why don't we make as big of an issue of every little thing the way Iran does?

So Iran tells Hezbollah to attack Israel. And all the Jew haters out there, they stop, they stop smoking meth long enough to get on the computer and rail about the Jews because they heard that Israel responded to an attack coming from Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. And then Iran hears, oh, we can't commit to the ceasefire. We're not going to have any more negotiations. We're going to implement a toll now in the strait because Israel is attacking poor little Lebanon.

Meanwhile, Lebanese government officials are going, We hate Hezbollah. Blank them to hell. We hate them. Kill them. We don't like them.

I mean, and they repeatedly tell the world: Iran does not speak for us. Stop it, stop it. Everybody ignores it.

So I think That the United States should say, this is Iran violating the ceasefire. I wanna be as bratty and I wanna be brattier and pettier. It's like that one dude at the city council when he was like, when they go low, we go lower. I'm just saying, we can wine too, right? We can do all of that too, Kane.

That's how it can be. Brattier and pettier. Trump is not being brattier and pettier, Kane. You no, no, no. He put in slack.

No, I'm going to tell people what you put in slack. You put brattier and pettier is how Trump has been operating. No, he hasn't. Not with those. I want Brady Trump.

I want Brat Trump Summer. That's what I want. Brett Trump Summer. I want that.

Well, the only reason I say that is because of, you know, in his comments on Maloney, I thought that was petty. You know the stuff uh The back and forth with her, it was completely, to me, unnecessary. I don't know. That was moronic. Yeah, I thought that was really dumb.

So, that pettiness I'm seeing.

So, he's- Oh, I thought you were talking about like with this. No, no, no, no, no. That's not what I mean by Brat Trump summer. I want Trump to be out there and be like, I want to talk to your Ayatollah. Why am I negotiating with you, you scumbags that are just barnacles on the backside of the mullahs?

I want to talk to your Ayatollah. Where's he at? Show me that Ayatollah. You know how it'd be like instead of show me to Malians, show me that Ayatollah. And they could be like, well, sir, no, no, no, I don't care if he's got one leg and he's burnt gay.

You know, show me. Show me the Ayolla. Show me your one-legged burnt-up, gay Ayatollah. Let me talk to let me talk to this Pf. Let me talk to this guy.

Okay. Hey, Kane, I can't say On air, can I? I can, but I didn't say it. Although it works with that guy. It does.

You know it does. That's what I want. Just be go in there, like, no, no, no, I'm done talking. I'm done talking to you, Todies from Cutter. Yeah.

You guys, I'm done talking to you. I'm done talking to you to you, little stink bugs from Pakistan. Get out of here! Get out of here! Done talking to all of you.

I want to see. You're Ayatollah. Gimme the guy in charge. Because it's been IRGC, it's been Galbraith with IRGC. Really, I think the the the the how many how many is dead how many juniors dead And it's the IRGC.

But if I were Trump, I want to see Brat Trump Summer be an absolute About it. That's what I want. That's what he excels in. When he does that stuff, I'm like, I don't want to hear him, I don't want to see him fighting with Maloney. I want to see him picking on the burnt, one-legged, gay, maybe dead.

Hominy Jr. Who We have not seen sense. When's the last time wait when's the last time we saw this guy? Let's ask the internet: when is the last time we saw hominy. Junior Do cardboard cutouts count?

No. It does not. It does not count.

Alright, so this is what I'm told. We're going to do this together. Supreme Leader. Uh Mohar Bahamini has not been seen in public or appeared on camera since the well, okay, we know that.

So it's been February 28th.

Now, they said that he has been recovering from injuries sustained during the airstrikes. And all of his statements have only been made, have only been read. Like anytime they say, oh, here's a hot news statement from Hominy Jr.

So they said he had suffered severe leg injuries and others, you know. other things and because of his prolonged absence uh they They've basically been doing the written statement thing.

So they've been doing written statements for him. He hasn't been seen publicly.

Now, apparently, the Iranian president. Confirmed that he met privately with the Supreme Leader for a lengthy discussion. No one believes that.

So if I were Trump, I would say, okay, now because I, the last that we heard, CNN had back in March that he had a fractured foot. Sure. These dudes love being seen. And even if they couldn't be out in public, you know what they did? They went out on video.

They like recorded video messages. This guy doesn't even do that. 'Cause he's probably dead. or in a coma. And he's all burnt up and one-legged in K.

He better be careful. They're gonna throw him from a rooftop. Just saying.

So they had this. Let me pull this up from the New York Times. This was, hold up, let me get a date on this. Because I believe this was just a couple of weeks ago. All they can do is Procure these statements.

Right, so they said that the supreme leader, according to again another statement. He has distanced himself from the agreement. putting responsibility for it on Iran's president and said it does not mean acceding to U.S. demands.

So this is the latest that was from June 19th.

Now He has not said this himself. It's been from a statement. And it was his. If you believe that it was his first pub I think the theater on this is so funny. In his first public comment on a deal, in a statement issued late Thursday, Mr.

Chamini said that he assented to the deal, but did not agree with signing it. As a matter of principle, nobody believes us. Show us your burnt up Ayatollah. We went to see him, warts and all. Show him or no deal.

That's what I would if I was Trump, that's what I would say. I would call them on the stagecraft. Oh, we're trying to get that we're at the United Flipping States of America. I am done cajoling these third world backwater hellholes to come to the table and act like civilized people in 2026. Either come to the table or we will kill you and all your families.

How about that? Dana, you're so mean. Shut up. This world is not civilized enough for the type of lunacy that the progressive left wants. You're dealing with barbarians who think that they're in a war of Armageddon.

This isn't a policy war. You think their objections have anything to do with oil or traversing the Strait? People who think that are myopic and stupid and should not be anywhere near these negotiations. You have to have people with balls the size that you've got to carry around in a wheelbarrow and a spine of steel to be able to deal with this stuff. Not these little simps out there going, well, I don't know.

I mean, we want to make sure that the hominy can be a part of the new booty Ethan. Shut up. People like you are why all of this, you have mission creep, and why conflicts escalate into cold escalates into hot. That's why. I'm so tired of this.

How long has this been going on? Months now. Our whole summer is tainted. with this ridiculous Shia nonsense. Enough.

I have never been a fan of the heavy caked-on makeup look. And like you, nobody has time for a 10-step routine.

So that's why so many people are looking at Jones Road Beauty's Miracle Bomb. It enhances your skin instead of covering it up. And you can use it as a blush, as a bronzer, as a highlighter, even as a lip tint. And it gives you that natural, healthy glow in just minutes.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. This is crazy. An oven exploded in a pizzeria in New York, and two people were sent to the hospital.

How does that happen? And they were, I love how Fox 5 New York, pizza oven explosion with like the giant headline. They haven't released any other details. They just said that apparently it looks like gas built up in the ovens overnight, and then when they were turned on in the morning. Yeah, you gotta make sure that that gas is Yeah, that's a...

His statue got burnt. Dude, you know that dude got burnt. I'm just saying. Maybe as much as much as hominy. But there you go.

Let's see here. We got a couple of other. Oh my gosh. I can't. This three-year-old.

Did you hear the story of this three-year-old? This is a horrible story. This was in, again, upstate New York, parents of a three-year-old girl. The girl died. She died because of lice infestation.

It made her anemic and actually caused her organs to fail. That is how horrible this is. Her ridiculous parents, Matthew and Samantha, Diolwiski, Dialski. Yeah. They were handed maximum sentences, the criminally negligent homicide and condition.

In relation to the passing of their daughter, apparently the house was absolutely filthy. When first responders came to their apartment in Corinth, New York, their daughter was having trouble breathing. They took her to the hospital, but she ruled it a homicide immediately. But I mean, it was squalid. Squalid doesn't even do it.

The photos are horrible. Uh, let's see. We got a couple of other. Oh my gosh, now there was a fire at a funeral home at that where future funerals are now in question. KIRO, this is out of Washington.

They said that it was a Jewish funeral home in Seattle Seward Park and extensive damage. And what are they going to do with their other? How does that work?

I used to go to a lot of state fairs. I used to like them when I was a kid. although my mom would never really let me ride the rides, so Um So anyway. I um I did anyway. When I would go out with my friends, I'd write all those writes anyway.

Sh, don't tell her. She can't hear me. She heard you. No, she didn't. She heard you.

No, she didn't. I whispered it. If I whisper it real low, she's got to turn the volume up. And then maybe you guys, when you upload it later, you could like flub that part of the audio so she can't hear it.

So, anyway, just saying. I totally did. That was always so fun. I love to I love I we just can't blow stuff up here in Texas. That's the only thing I don't like about Texas.

I can't have my fireworks and I'm a big pyro person. Like, man, bottle rocket wars, it's a rite of passage. You know, tying a bunch of Roman candles together. Don't do it, kids. All right, Kane today's stupidity.

I want to get people in trouble. Already done it. I don't think we have time to play this, but it's Michelle Obama on Barack Obama. She's claiming that, you know, that whole. Dystopian building they built.

Somehow, Obama is uncomfortable with it being about him. Do you ever get that from Obama that he's ever uncomfortable about anything being about him? No, everything is about him. Yeah, so no. Yeah, there you go, right there.

All right, folks, that does it for us today. Make sure you find us podcasts, YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe. Where else was I going to say? Oh, Substack as well. We'll be back tomorrow.
