So, welcome to the radio program. Dana Lash with you. And you can watch it on YouTube and X. Rumble is absolute garbage. And the moment I can delete my entire account and everything off of Rumble, I will, because it's just trash.

Uh, it's literally worse than like the most progressive dumpster fire ever. I hate Rumble with the burning passion of a thousand sons, it's a POS. Anyway, moving on, and everyone thinks it's okay just because it's conservative and it's run like absolute feces. By people who have no idea WTF what they're doing, and I'll tell them to their face. Anyway, so as soon as we can, we're gonna delete everything off of Rumble because it's literally just like the anus of the internet.

All right, you can quote me on that.

So as we move. Because this with Lindsey Graham. Who's gonna I mean did you know let me just tell you a couple things. I really, I like Lindsey Graham with the Supreme Court stuff. With Kavanaugh because he really helped shepherd Kavanaugh through all of that, and he was a real.

I know people have their issues with Lindsey Graham, and I know it's the hot thing for Ditzy cable news rejects to be like, Lindsey Graham, when they've never said anything about it before. And they're just like, they're repeating what they hear on the internet. God help us. We live in the stupid era, stupidest era ever. But Um the Background of him.

He was 33 years in the Air Force, a retired colonel that had earned a bronze star. Did you know that? I didn't either. And he also apparently was the poorest person in the Senate. And stay that way.

$170 something thousand a year for his salary, and he just stayed that way. He didn't care about Megan.

So he wasn't doing the insider trading that the rest of them were doing, apparently.

So he I mean he served for over 30 years. and the military. He's and then he was in the Senate. He got into the Senate in 1994 with the Gingrich thing. when they had the uh conservative rev uh revolution there.

Uh and they had the uh Gingridge wing take over the House.

So he started in the House in ninety four and then he ended up going into the Senate. But man alive. And Bronze Star, but he voted for a long time, and one of the poorest and stayed one of the poorest in the Senate. I mean, I think that what are they? They were comparing him to the richest guy in the Senate, which I think is Jim Justice, and he's worth way over $16 million.

and Graham, nothing.

So he's I mean He's got a, and he was air force, he was a lawyer as well in Air Force.

So he was. I I mean served consistently. And apparently, you know, I mean, the people in his district voted for him time and time again for a reason. But they were called the paramedics were called to his house. The 911 call apparently was released, and I think TMZ had images, which I'm not going to repost here in this medium because it's a little, I mean, the dude's intubated and he's on a gurney coming out of his house.

But 71 years old, apparently, they had a 911 call, and he apparently had said prior to collapsing that he was feeling unwell. And the call came in, said he was 71 years old. Everybody knew it was Lindsey Graham's address for his house. But apparently it was an aortic dissection.

So it was basically a tear in the inner layer of the aorta. And in his case, plaque buildup weakened those walls, which apparently. created the tear. And so they are still doing the toxicology report. They said microscopic testing.

And that's fine. I think that's well and good to do. I mean, just the day before he was on camera, he actually met with Zelensky and was discussing issues with Russia and Ukraine.

So I know there's a lot of theories. And then they had a bunch of FBI that showed up to his house, to his residence, and there's tons of photos of that. And Cash Patel said that they're going to make sure any investigation, et cetera. But it's not there. They're not doing it, I think, for suspicion.

I think that FBI just wanted to show that they were there, the scene was secure, et cetera. But I know some people were saying, oh, he died out of the blue. He died out of the blue. Um I imagine you There were obviously some flags there. suggesting that not all was well with regards to his health.

I mean, clearly.

So, this was cut eight. Listen to this. This is just some of the. Apparently, he kind of brushed it off when he was told to go see a doctor. Watch.

Grueling trip.

So if he has the, you know, heart, if he does have heart problems and that that's something that maybe they didn't pick up on or they didn't know about before, then that can be, that can be tough. And then you land and he's called, he, you know, called a few people and he said, I'm not feeling well. I'm not feeling great. If I don't feel great, after he had an interview on Sunday morning, if I don't feel great Sunday afternoon, I'll call the doctor and I'll go to the doctor. And then he died on Saturday night and the EMS had to get to his house.

I think a staffer called after he complained of some chest pains and they get to his house and they had to knock down the door because it was dead bolted. He was already in cardiac arrest. That's right.

So they tried to work on him and they pronounced him dead at the hospital.

So they're finishing up that autopsy. The toxicology part of that isn't done, but as we get more detail, they plan on releasing that to the public.

So And this, you know, obviously, because apparently he had heart issues, I and look, I understand the conspiracy theories with it, especially since somebody, you know, Alexander Dugan, who is the ward on the back side of Russia, Alexander Dugan said that he, four months ago, he said that Lindsey Graham should be, quote, flattened. That's what he said verbatim.

So I know a lot of people read that and they're like, oh my gosh, was he killed by the Russians? Because this wouldn't be the first time that they did something. I know that all of the gutter trash that political OnlyFans on podcastan, that they did they like to wax. fantasy about Russia and communists, but I mean, you know, just saying, we're just asking questions.

So I get why there's some conspiracy theories. The conspiracy theories, by the way, work against podcastist stands.

So I'm going to be fully honest with you. I'm inclined to lean into that because I loathe these people with the burning passion of a thousand sons.

So I'm really inclined to lean into that and accuse all of them of murdering Lindsey Graham. That being said, I'm going to be very honest with you about it. I'm just telling you how I feel. Because I think all those people are absolute trash and they're a stain on humanity's existence on this rock. That being said, I also think that.

You know, cardiac issues rarely give. I mean, they do have advance warning. There are some red flags there. And it seems as though it was a perfect storm of ignoring it. And he was apparently a workaholic.

I mean, he didn't feel well, and he was, you know, taking international flights.

So, you know, I there. coming through it, Trump really liked him.

So I will say this: if, and I doubt that Trump is going to allow. Lindsey Graham to go under the dirt. Without a full and thorough investigation. And some of the other people in Trump's orbit, because Lindsey Graham. Was viewed as sort of the avatar of, the best way I can put it is maybe the, I don't want to say interventionist because I feel like that's a little bit of hyperbole in describing his position, although we never really didn't line up entirely.

But I would say the interventionist faction. He was sort of viewed as the avatar for that.

So there's some questions there. I understand all of it with the conspiracy theories. We're going to come back to this. We also have the media reactions. Ro Canna pulled a stunt in Israel and tried to spark an international incident.

We're going to talk about that because just as you wouldn't have. A member of a foreign government, be it from the UK. Israel, Ireland, wherever the hell, France. You wouldn't have Emmanuel Macron go down to the southern border and then walk into an active operation involving border patrol and then be detained, meaning you're just paused and asked questions. But Roe Cano thought he could do that in an exclusion zone over near Gaza, and then he decided to make a big thing about it.

We're going to talk about that and break that down. The latest with World Cup, we've got Islamism, immigration, and so much more as we move. Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service in the nation, they want to save you money, right? Patriot Mobile. I'm not kidding.

and sort of brush them off. But it was, what was it, aortic. It was basically tear in his aorta, and it was due to the buildup of plaque. And so he had a major cardiac event, and that's ultimately what killed him. And POTUS.

has now said that his sister should be the individual to finish his term. Darlene Graham Nordon. to be his temporary replacement in the Senate.

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster announced around the same time as Trump's post that he was going to make an announcement about who he support who he's going to appoint to the Senate. That's going to happen 4 p.m. Eastern, 3 Central today. that that announcement's going to come. There's There is a benefit of I think McMaster picking Graham's sister.

Apparently, she was.

Now, just let me lay it out. I'm not weighing in on it either way. I'm going to just tell you kind of what I think, what some of the thinking is here. She was very involved in Graham's campaign. He apparently raised her after they lost their parents.

So she's that was kind of her surrogate parent. And she worked apparently every step with him since the beginning, since the 90s, with his campaigns. They Also, think, I mean, yes, you could say it's a reliable choice because it's going to make sure that his priorities are carried out, et cetera. That's fine, but. I mean, I understand that reasoning.

But she's kind of viewed as being Well, let me put it this way. When you consider all of the other candidates that are being thrown out there, some people have suggested somebody like maybe Trey Gowdy or Nikki Haley, or I'm like, no, I don't wait. No offense to Trey Gowdy, but no. Or Nancy Mace really wants the seat. Dear heavens, spare us.

But What? Yeah, someone said Scott Bessant. No.

So I would like for there to be a good old-fashioned election.

However, they're going to have to the process is they're going to appoint somebody just to fill out the end of the term. But if they go a very non-political way, and that's sort of how she's viewed. Because She's a she's, I mean, really essentially Lindsey Graham 2.0. And I don't think that she has any inclination to serve in the long period for a long period. But if they had her as a placemarker, What that does is it doesn't Politicize further.

any kind of special primary. Does that make sense?

So The It kind of gets rid of all the infighting. Imagine what the infighting is going to be like, especially going into a midterm election. That's going to be kind of a lot, so it's a little tricky.

So by doing someone that's viewed as being Non-hyper-political, which is sort of what I guess she is viewed as. then that doesn't disrupt you're not pulling from any other office. It's not disrupting any other office holder. It's not creating an embittered special primary. It's not doing anything like that.

Which also, you know, you can't have a sitting member of Congress. Moved to serve in the Senate because it's a razor-then majority as it is. And we just can't, we can't keep doing this musical chair is nonsense.

So it would kind of negate a lot of issues. And apparently, so Tim Scott initially went out for Trey Gowdy and then POTUS. Said, yeah, I like this idea of having Graham's sister. And apparently, Tim Scott's like, Yeah, that's actually the better decision.

So that makes some sense. to have that issue sort of solve. I mean in the interim. I get it. But this is what, I mean, we'll find out today at 3 Central, 4 Eastern.

And apparently, Trump said that it would be a quote: fabulous tribute to Graham to have his sister. serve out the rest. Of his term. Graham was, I think, 22 years old when their parents passed, and that's when he. took over as caretaker for his sister.

and basically just raised her, essentially.

So, this is by the way, this is cut three. This is POTUS talking about Lindsey Graham right here. Listen. Around the time, it couldn't have been much longer. It could have been his last call.

I don't know exactly, but. I got a message about one o'clock in the morning from One of the people at his office that he had passed away. I said, You got it, I just can't believe it. He was like a member of the family to me. It's very tough, actually.

It's amazing. Mr. President. He was. He was such an advocate.

He was you know, if he if he wanted to get something, And you know, he had a unique ability. He was able to deal with Democrats and Republicans. If I had a problem, a real problem, I wouldn't often ask. But if I had a problem with a Democrat, he could work it out. He was a great, he was a great politician, actually.

And he had said that he. Had just spoke with him last night. This was cut too. Trump said, I thought he was fine. I just talked to him last night.

Listen. What are your thoughts about Lindsey Graham this morning?

Well, it's devastating. I thought he was fine. He called me last night. He just got back from Ukraine. And uh he had a great trip.

He was telling me about the trip. He was Pushing very, very hard. You probably know he wanted to do the Save America activity. He was talking about that. He was full of vim and vigor.

He was tired. He said, I'm tired because it's a long trip. But other than that he was He was fine. And he called me, I guess, just moments before because he called me like at 6:30 or something. The uh The medical people got there a little bit later, right after that.

What a terrible loss it is. He's a great politician. He was a natural. There are very few of them who's a natural politician, got along with everybody. POTUS also had said, cut one, that.

He said that he got when he talked with Graham last night. And he said, Graham said that we are all set for the Save America Act. Listen. President Trump, thank you for joining us and my condolences to you.

Well, thank you. He's a tough one to lose. He was great. He was unique and Every way, actually. He was, Mr.

President, and I know that we are all just absorbing this news. We are all in shock. Can you tell us, Mr. President? how you receive this news.

So what makes it even stranger is that I got a call last night sometime at, you know, the early evening. Maybe in the sevens. And he called and he said we're all set for the Save America Act. He was pushing the Save America Act.

So he was already, it was business as usual.

So the business as usual, what happens with this process? Because as you know, he was already in his reelection cycle. His term ends in January.

So the way. that it happens. With South Carolina laws, you're going to have two. Two Different and distinct tracks under South Carolina law because you're going to have to have someone apparently, I mean, you have to have someone be an interim placeholder.

Now, if his sister is selected to be the interim placeholder, she's just there till January.

So that does not mean that she gets the next term. That has to be a fast-tracked process. And I was actually looking for the deadline on that because the one-week filing period for a new candidate that's going to open on the 21st of this month and close on July 28th.

So, July 21st through the 28th is the one-week filing period for any new candidates that are going to go after this seat, right? And they're going to have to have a snap primary, a snap primary election that's going to be held on August 11th so that Republican voters can choose the new nominee. When you hear his sister being discussed as a placeholder, she's only going to be there until his current term expires, the one he's in, expires in January.

Now, then they're gonna have to, while that's happening, while she is there as this interim placeholder, what happens on a different track at the same time is this. SNAP primary election and the filing process.

So the July 21st through the 28th, that's when the candidates file. Then August 11th is when they have that SNAP primary election to choose the nominee. And then if they don't have any, they have their runoff.

So if you have a candidate that doesn't get like 50% of the vote on August 11th, then later on that month, they're going to do a runoff for the one, the top two. And then whoever wins that goes to the November 3rd general election. And the Democrat nominee is Dr. Annie Andrews. Democrats are really watching this race because now an opportunity has opened up as a potential way to maybe flip a seat.

Now, there hasn't been any polling, obviously, since this just happened, but I would imagine by the end of this week, we're gonna have some surveys on the lay of that land because this was a seat that was pretty much a done deal already. How much? that throws how much that goes you know how much that jeopardizes it I don't know, 'cause from what I understand, that's a pretty solid red district.

So, but it all also depends on the quality of candidate because you have to remember. If they're filing the last week of July and they're having a snap election in August, that's a really short time. To build the type of war chest and name recognition that you're going to need to maintain that seat. And if Democrats think that they can flip this district, You know, then they're going to try to flip that district, and that's going to be a lot of money. uh that goes in there.

That's that's I mean, goodness, they're going to spend a lot of money on this.

So we'll see. By the way, this is one of Graham's. his kind of defining moment, the Kavanaugh moment. This was the moment that helped shape the Supreme Court and helped define actually it helped radicalize a lot of young dudes towards conservatism. This is cut seven.

Watch. The good character to pray for Dr. Ford. To my Republican colleagues, If you vote no. You're legitimizing The most despicable thing I have seen in my time in politics.

You want this seat? I hope you never get it. I hope you're on the Supreme Court. That's exactly where you should be. And I hope that the American people will see through this charade.

And I wish you well. And I intend to vote for you and I hope everybody who's fair-minded Will. Remember when he had said, boy, y'all want power and I hope you never get it. He unleashed, and this was after Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh went in, and it was really Graham until Kavanaugh had that Clarence Thomas moment.

It was really Graham that kept Kavanaugh afloat during that period. And he was the one in Trump's ear: You're gonna have to come out swinging for this guy. But Trump wanted to make sure that Kavanaugh was a fighter himself. And Kavanaugh absolutely did. He availed himself of all of the ridiculous attacks, all of the smears, and he came out swinging Clarence Thomas style, which I think pretty much has cemented.

The blueprint for how to deal with Republicans how their nominees should deal with this going forward. And I mean, it was a home run. And after Trump weighed in, then Graham put the cherry on top and just seared him. And that, I think, was his defining moment. I think for all of the disagreements that people have with other parts of Graham's policy, the one thing that you can say without reservation is that I don't know if the Supreme Court would look the way it did, look the way it does without Lindsey Graham.

I think that's true to say. He really fought for Kavanaugh, and Kavanaugh has really delivered on a number of issues for POTUS. And Graham also worked with McConnell, which, by the way, we've got to talk about that photo of McConnell. He also worked with McConnell to help shape the court and make sure that Trump got the nominees that he wanted to get. Trump would not have had the judicial overhaul that he had the latter half of his first term, were it not for Graham and McConnell.

So interesting to see that. And as far as. Who, I mean, when you look at His seat. I mean, it's considered a solid R stronghold. I mean, it's been.

Gosh, I think decades. Since there has been a Democrat in that seat. But I don't want Republicans to feel apathetic and think that. they don't have to be very careful about who they whom they select. To fill this as far as who's gonna file, who they're gonna get behind for the snap primary.

So, we're gonna keep up with this as we move. Our partners that help bring you the program, it's the folks over at Ghostbed.

You know, one of the things that I was looking at when, as it relates to this Lindsey Graham situation, his passing, I don't want to say the Lindsey Graham situation, that kind of sounds weird.

But The way that the media always covers stuff like this. And you know, it's just more par for the core. When uh Albek Dadi when he was killed and he was known as the butcher for ISIS, right? Washington Post. called him a quote austere religious scholar.

They called Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. austere religious scholar. Butcher of ISIS. Butcher for ISIS. That's what Washington Post referred to him as.

when Fidel Castro kicked the bucket. The New York Times called him. a quote Cuban revolutionary who defied the US. And the way that They decided. to cover Lindsey Graham.

It's pretty. It says that History will judge the complicit. They went back, they all went all this way, and they've been they were resharing this one essay that was done about him and the Atlantic back in 2020, and Applebaum, who is just an absolute broad. was accused him of collaborating with regimes that they knew were immoral. That's how the press decided to do this.

I and Kane and I were just talking about this on break. I think it's safe to say, you can call Lindsey Green. You could have referred to him as a neocon. I know that there are a lot of people on the right that use that phrase and they have no idea what the heck it means. Graham was.

Was he a jackwagon? No.

Did we disagree on policy? Yes. But I've never understood. The need to be so heinous. when somebody kicks the bucket.

And it's always whenever anybody on the right passes, the left is they cheer along with the rest of the demons. They cheer, and it just never makes any sense to me. I mean, Lindsey Graham differed with people on international conflict. He never went out and called names. He didn't do any.

I mean, I mean, I can name a number of senators that have done that, but he never did anything like that. By the way, This is again why it was so shocking. This was him. This is cut. 6,100.

It's cut 6. This was one day ago. Watch. So when I get back to Washington I'm going to go with Senator Blumenthal. to the Republican, the Democratic leader.

to see if we can find time to move this Russian sanctions package. that would give tools to President Trump to help end this war. Hmm.

So he had some health issues. Did he sound a little. He sounded almost. I don't know. I could kind of tell he sounded a little not well, I think, right?

Wasn't as l usual level of uh Energy. But still, I mean, he was traveling all the time. What were you saying? Like blood clots and long flights and things like that? It wouldn't surprise me because I've worked with some people that have passed away in this manner where they take a longer flight.

And then they are at home, and then they pass away from major, you know, like a blood clot issue.

Now, I don't know that this is the case with Lindsey Graham, but I do know the pressure changes in the cabin can dislodge clots sometimes for people. Let's talk about this Rokana situation with Israel. This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. I mean, my gosh, you guys.

So, what ended up happening is RoCanna, as you guys know, Canna Cana Rokana, he was the guy that he actually helped bankroll Grant Plattner as well.

So, he's really trying to get himself out of the headlines as it relates to Grant Plattner because Plattner was an absolute. Apocalypse. An election electoral apocalypse for Democrats, and now they have a mess on their hands in Maine. And Roe Conno was one of the guys that was involved in. prolonging Grand Platinars.

Continuation in that race, right?

So now he decided to go, I guess he was in Israel. And I love how he immediately talks to the press, etc.

So He goes to Israel and pulls a stunt, immediately informs all the leftist media and tries to create an international incident.

So, what happened?

Well, he went up, he went into what they call the exclusion zone. And that's basically in layman's terms. It was in the southern West Bank, and that's where you have Hamas that likes to fight with IDF, right? And we all know that there would be peace in the region if Hamas would just lay down their arms, but they absolutely refuse. And they've told not one, not two, not three, not four presidents, not five presidents.

They've told five different administrations that it's never going to happen, going all the way back to Clinton. Never going to happen. They're never going to stop.

So we have this ongoing situation.

So he goes over, Ro Khanna decides he's nobody even knows he's over there. He's over in Israel. He goes to West Bank and he is detained by IDF who want to know why there's like a little tourist group in the middle of a damn exclusion zone. kind of a no man's land. And There's he, I mean, he sent the video.

He had all this. He was immediately notifying the New York Times, which ran this story on it, called An American Politician is blocked by Israeli Settlers in the West Bank, because people were wondering, why in the hell are you over here? Who are you? Why are you over here touring private property? Why are you walking around on everybody else's private property?

You're trespassing on private property, number one, in an exclusionary zone, number two. And then, and Rokana is acting like, well, Israel detained me. What do you guys think would happen if Emmanuel Macron, without notifying anybody, went to the southern border and immediately started walking around an active area where you know that Border Patrol was surveilling and running immigration enforcement? What do you think would happen? Any guesses?

The whole point of things like this is that you are supposed to, as a member of government, particularly, but anybody with two brain cells to rub together, is going to notify. The government of the area which you're visiting, and let them know beforehand that standard operating procedure. I mean, this is just ridiculous that he did this. And he tried to make a big stunt about it. He tried to make a big an international incident.

He was apparently here's the other thing, he was invited while he was over there.

Someone got wind that he was over there and they invited him to meet with the freed hostages and survivors of October 7th, and his team refused to even respond to the repeated requests. They were also told they could meet with Druze civilians.

So that's another group that's in northern Israel, southern Lebanon. In fact, they fight with Hezbollah quite a lot. And there were Druze civilians in Golan Heights. And they wanted to brief him on how they were dealing with aid getting into Gaza. And Ro Khanna's team absolutely refused to respond.

Now If he thinks that Israel is lying about aid to Gaza, wouldn't you want to immediately go and meet with the people and try to? Either Confirm your narrative or disprove it. Why would you not even want to go? He didn't want to meet with anyone. This is like the equivalent of Tucker Carlson flying over there, not even leaving the airport.

This is lazy.

So he just goes over there, and purposefully wanders into an exclusion area and then. Decided to make an international incident. He ignored all other requests to meet with anybody else. And he didn't tell anyone in any higher-ups. He did not at all whatsoever.

try to coordinate his visit to that area. with anybody in government. He just decided to go. And it became this thing. If I see somebody walking into an area that's considered exclusionary, that's also private property, I sure as hell am probably going to detain them too.

And by the way, detain doesn't mean that they just nailed you down to the ground in chains. They stopped him to ask him some questions and he acts like he was prison raped. This is ridiculous. I mean, this is, and he did this only as a way to get the grand platinum stuff out of the press. That's the only reason he did it because he's getting hammered.

He's getting absolutely hammered by this. And the only reason that he did it was so that he could get that out of the press. Why wouldn't he go to a briefing on how Aid's getting into Gaza? I'm curious about this. Why wouldn't he do that?

He's going in too. a heavily monitored exclusion zone. does not at all coordinate it with Our government, with the United States government, with the Israeli government, doesn't notify the ambassador's office, doesn't notify anybody, and just wanders over there and then tries to make it this big stunt. I just, and he blew off all of these other meetings. New York Post has this story.

He blew off meeting former Israeli hostages. He blew off meeting groups organizing aid. Because the media likes to pretend that, oh, it's Big Bad Israel. Oh, they're not there. Israel, not Hamas.

The only reason that people in Gaza eat during times of embargo or anything else is because Israel gives them food, just like they gave them everything over there, the dwellings, the greenhouses, and then Hamas decided the moment they were overwhelmingly elected into power, systematically destroy everything.

So Apparently When Conner's staff. They only told because apparently when got out that he w might be going over there. And apparently, the Israeli embassy had inquired about it, and his staff told them: no, it's not their business. Quote, it is a private trip, end quote. They told them that it was a quote private trip and that he was not meeting with any Israeli or Gazan politicians.

Hmm.

Does that sound like it was a private trip? You're going to a restricted militarized exclusion zone? Does that sound like a private trip? Because that does not sound that sounds like you're Just saying. But he refused to meet with any of the people that were trying to alleviate the situation.

He didn't go there to learn anything about the area or the situation. He went there because he wanted to pull a stupid stunt, because he's a pathetic Cretan who basically is the reason that Grant Plattner even lasted that long in that main primary and in that election cycle in the first place. That's all on him. He not only helped finance it, but he campaigned with Plattner and he promoted it. And so now he desperately needs a way to get that out of the headlines involving his name.

So he decides to do this. And after Khanna's people said no, it's a private trip, then apparently the Israeli embassy reached out and said, we can organize meetings with Druze communities in Golan Heights. We can organize meetings with Israeli border communities. We can organize meetings on all of the groups with all of the groups that are working to get aid into Gaza. I mean, they offered like apparently everything, and Khanna's office refused to respond to repeated requests.

And the next time they heard from him was through the New York Times because he pulled this stunt. And then he immediately contacted the New York Times that were on standby. And they ran with this headline to create an international incident to get his name out of the press as it relates to Graham Plattner.

However much you load these people, it's not enough. It's ridiculous. Can you imagine going up? That's not anyone who wants to understand anything. That's not any.

That's not any of it. This is, by the way, this is cut 14. Because the Israeli ambassador to the U.S. just blasted. What Rokana was doing.

Now, this is a little bit long, or should we play 13 first? Half as good on 14. If we just want to do the last half of it. 14.

Okay, let's first off. Let's let's let's start with 13 real quick. Just play 13 so you can see how he's really like organizing this stunt and how he's trying to promote it. He's still trying to promote this watch. This is 13.

Hi, I'm home safely and I just wanted to thank everyone who reached out. Honestly, it's still quite raw and I'm still processing things. Replaying the images of the armed settlers who detained us. And the four IDF soldiers who helped them blockade our van. Uh it was quite scary.

But you know, I also have just been thinking about All the Palestinians I met and their stories, they don't have. Uh the platform I don't know. You know what gets me?

So his the body camera footage that his own goofy team released shows that nobody was actually detained. They were just told they could not enter a fenced off military area. And he apparently had been warned multiple times prior that he couldn't enter that area. But he decided to instead lie about being detained.

So he was he was lying and telling everyone that he was arrested by the IDF, and he wasn't. They literally on camera told him that he could not enter a closed, fenced off military area. He and Tucker Carlson are the same person. They really are. I know we got to get moving.

We're going to here, save 14 because we're going to deal, we'll deal with 14 here coming up at the top of the hour. We have a lot more. To come as we roll towards headlines, our partners that help bring you the program. It's the folks over at Burn A Gun. Burn a gun, the Burn of CL specifically.

I've told you before, I'll have zero issue throwing lead down range to defend myself or a loved one. And I'll sleep like a baby at night. I don't care. Sleep soundly like a little happy baby. But I also understand that sometimes you have to go to places where firearms aren't allowed, right?

You can't carry whether it's private property, municipal restrictions.

So, you, what are you going to do? Because you don't want to leave yourself at the mercy of criminals because heaven knows that the entities that are restricting your rights aren't going to do anything to protect you.

So, this is where you have to diversify. You need to have a smart person's got a workaround for everything. You're a smart person, you're going to get a workaround. The Berna CL, now they have other models, disregard all of them right now. CL stands for compact launcher, it's about the size of an iPhone.

There's no recoil, easy target acquisition, and it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 60 feet away.

Now, you might say, Yeah, that's great, but I already have a stunt gun or a taser. I love that journey for you. You got one or two rounds right there, you know. Backpats. This is a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge, so it's way different.

It's effective, and like I said, it doesn't require any permits. There's no background checks. Does it care about gun-free zone signs? Because it's not a gun. It's not a replacement.

It's an option that you'll be glad to have when your options are limited. Diversify your defensive options today. Visit burna.com/slash dana to learn more. That's byrna.com/slash dana. Ready when you are.

Great food fast with SolerInfrared at besthotgrill.com. A couple of things to touch on. We've been following all of the Graham stuff and getting into how that works in terms of. The two tracks until they have the SNAP election, the SNAP primary. The filing begins at the end of this month that lasts a week.

And then in August, they have the primary. If they don't have, they'll have a runoff if they have a candidate that doesn't get 50%. And then they'll do that until they have the November 3rd general election. And then in the meantime, POTUS has suggested Lindsey Graham's seat be an interim placeholder until his current term expires in January. This does not give his Graham sister the seat for the next election.

It's just until this current cycle expires in January, because he was in the middle of his reelection bid for next year. Which was going to be decided this November.

So we've got all of that. We've been also getting into the latest with Iran.

Now, what's interesting is Yemeni forces have struck Houthi-controlled, a Houthi-controlled airport to prevent an Iranian plane from landing.

So now you've got the Saudis that are kind of getting involved in this a little bit as well, it's being said, because they have been joining in with it. Very interesting. Yemeni forces issued a strong statement over what they said was Iran's blatant violation of Yemen's airspace and sovereignty. They gave a stern warning to Tehran and vowed severe consequences. If They do this again, if they try this again.

So they struck back. Very interesting. Riyadh is the main military backer of the anti-Houthi Presidential Leadership Council.

So it's the Saudis that are getting involved in this now. Yemeni forces struck the runway, so they're backing them, struck that Houthi-controlled Sana'a International Airport because there was an Iranian plane trying to land. That's according to the Yemeni Defense Ministry, which is very anti-Houthi. Anti-Houthi media reports in Yemen also indicated that Saudi Arabia's air force was responsible chiefly for the strikes. That's pretty significant.

But you know that Saudis in Iran, they hate each other. You have sectarian tension, they loathe each other. And the Saudis in UAE, they're very like-minded. They're very pro-Western. It's not like it was in the 90s.

They got a whole new, like, whole. I don't want to see, say, a regime, but still, they have new leadership, you could say. You have the king there in UAE, the Emiratis, and then you have Mohammed bin Salman, who's Saudi Arabia.

So, yeah, Riyadh is the main military backer of this.

So, it was Saudi planes that carried out the strikes. They said that their patience has run out, according to the Yemeni defense industry. And they said that this is, they're violating Yemeni sovereignty, which is true.

So, it's interesting to see it accelerate to that. Of course, this isn't the first time that you've had actions against Iran, but now they're being very, very public about it, and they've had airports, or sorry, warplanes flying over the city. But Houthis also took a Red Cross aircraft hostage as well. That was, according to their information minister, they detained an international committee of Red Cross aircraft at that airport, so they stepped up their policing and enforcement.

So lots of developments. POTUS is saying that they're controlling the Strait of Hormuz now and they want to levy a 20% fee, 20% cargo tax. If the United States, if we got to keep that area open, then we should get paid. I agree. We're not in this for welfare, for all these other countries that get all of their energy out of the Strait.

We're not in this for the welfare of these nations. You can pay us. Pay up soccer. Pay us. I'm all for it.

I think that's great.

Now a few other things to watch. And I got a couple of things.

So we've got ongoing issues with ice. And illegal aliens that keep trying to run ICE agents over with cars. You had that situation in Houston last week where everyone was running out, everyone, meaning people on the left, running out trying to act as though ICE was here, ICE is murdering people, but it was an illegal alien that tried to run over another ICE agent with their vehicle and they were shot and killed, surprisingly. I mean, you know, that's what ends up happening when you try to use a vehicle as a lethal weapon.

Now, Another thing with this, this was in Maine.

Now, you're going to start hearing a lot about this as a way to also cover up for the Graham Platiner stuff. And as a, they're probably, they're already trying to fashion this as some sort of mechanism to incite anger and use that as a get out the vote mechanism too. There was a person killed in a shooting that involved an ICE agent. This was Monday morning in Maine, according to the House Speaker up there. It happened in Bidford, Maine, and one person was killed.

ICE was involved. Maine state police are involved. And apparently, the left has been trying to find some kind of narrative as a way to go after ICE for this, but In every instance, it has always been an illegal alien that decides that they're going to try to run over an ICE agent. And according to witnesses, this is not any different. Apparently, ICE agents were trying to stop a car that was out of control.

So you have another issue of someone trying to run down ICE agents, this time in Maine, and agents are forced to use lethal force as a way to stop, save themselves, and prevent more destruction and potential death to anybody that happened to be passing by.

So, this the left is already trying to turn this out as a way to incite rage in that area because they are desperate. Susan Collins is probably going to win now. Susan Collins, I mean, was so neck and neck with Graham Plattner previously, so the left has no. They don't have a substitute, they have no backup, and they're freaking out because that was a shot at chipping away at Senate majority that they really needed, which is another reason why they're looking at South Carolina, Lindsey Graham's seat. But again, it looks like this individual, this is another individual of a guy who was trying to drive over agents and agents had to respond.

I don't know what people need to be told, but every single time you try to run over an ICE agent with your vehicle, you're probably going to end up getting hurt in the process.

Now, there was a Democrat lawmaker that went out there. I think there was, I had tweeted about this, there was like video of it over the weekend where, let me pull this up. This Democrat lawmaker was out there trying to argue that, well, you know, these people need to just shoot at the tires. They need to just shoot at the tires and not the actual illegal aliens that are trying to run them over and kill them. I'm not kidding you.

This is literally what they've been saying, which is completely ridiculous. You don't shoot at the tires. No one that has any knowledge of firearms or use of force is going to tell you to do that because it doesn't work like it does in the movies, right? Just like silencers, suppressors, they don't work like they do in the movies. Yeah, this was Democrat Representative Sylvia Garcia.

And this was, I think this had to do with Houston when she was saying that, you know, if they really think a car is going to hurt someone, then, you know, maybe, maybe shoot the tires. You don't shoot the driver. No, you're going to, why don't you just shoot the key out of the ignition, Sylvia? While you're at it, you idiot. Shoot it into park.

Yeah, shoot it into park. Just if you get it there, depending on what kind of car it is, you can shoot the lever that can actually take the car out of drive and put it in park. Right. I mean, just go like fool out, right? Gosh, I was not a V8.

Yeah, full, you know, just like, just do that instead. Don't shoot the tire, shoot the key out of the ignition. Or if they have a button push, just like shoot the button. Watch her. This is so stupid.

Oh. The message is the same message that I gave to the director that, you know, this is a grieving family. It could happen to any of us, especially if we have, you know, I'm Weta. They may not stop me, but they probably might stop some of my friends. You know, this is about making sure that civil rights are protected, human rights are protected, constitutional rights are protected.

If you're illegal, you don't have to protect. Because it is today here in our country, I mean, our city. But it could be any other city. And we saw it happening in Minneapolis. We saw it happen in Chicago.

In terms of ICE presence, I'm sorry.

So we have learned some lessons. Apparently, ICE has learned nothing. If they really think that a car is going to hurt somebody. I mean, even a kid would tell you you shoot the tires. Are you a moron?

Even a kid would tell you. Why would a kid wow, why would a kid know about any of this? A child is going to tell you to shoot out the tires. Who says this type of stuff? What a moron.

No, you don't shoot the tires out because it doesn't work like that. It doesn't work like the movie show. You think, I mean, yeah, and who's going to take a kid's advice? Let me go ask seven-year-old Tommy over here. Tommy, yeah, what would you do in an instance of an illegal alien trying to mow down an ICE agent with their vehicle and use it as a deadly weapon?

Oh, I'd shoot the tires out, Representative Sylvia. No one's gonna ask that. You're a Horrible lawmaker. That's you absolute lawn flamingo. You don't just shoot out the oh my gosh.

Stop. You know what? Don't be an illegal alien trying to run over an ICE agent, or you're going to get shot. How about that? End of story.

You don't get to sit here and go, I claim rights. You're not an American. You don't live here. You're not domiciled here. You didn't come here legally.

You don't get to come over here and plant a flag and go, I'm from law. I get to claim rights. No, you don't. You don't get to claim any of that. We don't recognize that.

And we're the people who determine whether or not we recognize your legitimacy as a status claim or not. End of. There's no nothing else around it. Golly, this is just so asinine But here we are. Here we are.

So that you had the Houston, now you have this one in Maine, and they're really trying to use the Maine situation as a way to incite. Uh because they're in such a A pickle. with Graham Plattner. Just like the nicest thing you could say about that, really. A few other things to touch on.

So I know, oh, by the way, really quickly, World Cup, Norway's out. I watched Norway versus England. that was really hard, although I knew it was going to happen that way. It was a really good game. There was, and I think it was like the least that Erling Holland played this entire series.

But now England advances. And I who is it? Is it Argentina and France? Yeah, uh no, France's with Spain. France and Spain, sorry.

Switzerland.

Okay, Argentina and Switzerland, and then France and Spain. As they go into Argentina just played Switzerland. They're gonna play England everywhere. That's going to be a match. That's going to be a match to watch.

So we'll see all the host countries are out.

So I was like, you know what? We could do just like go and invade any of these other countries, take it over. immediately incorporate in the United States, then the United States wins the next World Cup. I would like to go after the winner. I mean, you know, I'm just saying, I'm just throwing it out there, you know, like, yeah, just throwing it out there.

But, um, yeah, that was pretty. That was pretty. Yeah. It was nice to have all of them here. I kinda liked hosting World Cup.

Freddy the German's back. Remember Freddy, the guy who was from Germany and following his team everywhere and he ended up having to suspend his account because the people tried doxing him because he said something against terrorists and terrorism several years ago? And so now the internet being horrible, they try to milkshake duck him, although there was nothing to milkshake duck him over with. Anyway, he came back because he said he had a lot of nice messages, but he's just trying to be an anonymous guy who's enjoying his time in the U.S. And he said that Alabama is very different from New York.

I mean, obviously, but that's not the way that he meant. He's talking about the ideology, the politics, and the people. And he said there are definitely two different versions of the U.S. And he says he likes the one in the south when he was driving around and following his team.

So, very interesting. I think everything's going to wrap up before the end of the month, and we'll see who goes forward. Telling you, we've got a lot more on the way. We got headlines coming up. How much of your financial life exists as a number on a screen?

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. You guys, I'm really depressed about this one. Sam Neal. Yeah. Best, I mean, he was known for Jurassic Park.

He was known for Event Horizon. I mean, there's a million movies that he's been in. Passed away, 78 years old. My first thought was: he was 78 years old? When did that happen?

When did he just turn 78? Right after 77. That's just so weird to me. Because he's just seemed, you know how you have some of those actors that seem like. They should just stay the same age, like Laura Dern's another one.

Laura Dern is always going to be Ellie from Jurassic Park, and she's always going to stay that age. And I just don't see her as any, you know what I mean? It's weird. I don't know. But 78 years old, and uh, he apparently, I mean, he had health issues, but he wanted to make another movie, apparently.

Uh, bison, beware of them. Although, I will say, normally this has to do with people getting too close to bison, but not this grandfather. Uh, this grandfather named Carl and his grandson, they were in a campground. And then a bison charged them. They should not have run, but the bison charged at them, knocked the grandfather in the air eight feet, launched him up into the air, yeeted him into the air eight feet.

Crazy video. that was taken by a guy named Mike McLeod. And he said, I knew he was in danger because the bison didn't leave. And he was really angry. And he knew the moment it started taking a dustbath, it's like, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh, we gotta get out.

He went for the car. And then when he didn't get the car, he went after the grandfather. Holy wow. But the guy is like joking about it. He's in a great mood.

But he's, you know, he's got, he was injured. He was actually injured. But. That's, you know what I thought of immediately? Can we play it?

Do we have a video of it? I probably can't. I'll probably have to wait for it. Yeah, we'll share that later. And Conor McGregor says, I can only describe it as hell.

He broke his silence after his knee injury. That was heinous to watch that happen. It makes me hurt thinking about it. We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us.

So, Mick Jagger did an interview where he said that he's not going to sit here and lecture people about politics because he doesn't really think that that's not what he wants to do as an entertainer, as an artist. And I loved this little clip. If we can, yeah, listen to this. This is cut 19. This is so great.

But so you don't want to be trying to churn them up into get frustrated that they're not being demonstrative or you don't think they're having a good time because they might be quite relatively calm. They might be relatively, you know, they're having a good time. They're in there. I always say to everyone else, they're having a good time in their own way. But as you go to another place and they're going completely a, you know, so.

So and your job is to make them more ape. That's otherwise they want to go ape let's go ape, you know, so I want to dig a little deeper on that question.

So, you're talking about what your job is in those events: to make people have a good time, to make, you know, they want to leave the concert feeling like it was worth it and they can forget their trouble. And you don't want to lecture them. You don't want to lecture them. He said that my job in the live music world is for those people that come to have the best time, and you don't want to lecture them. And he had said, because the New York Times had said, well, Springsteen clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth.

And Jagger's like, we're here to have fun and like find a release from all of that. God bless America. I like McJagger. I mean, does he have a lot of kids from a lot of different women? Yeah, but he's not a jackwagon, right?

He does his job. He knows his job. Mick Jagger, you go up. and you sing and people have a good time and you make good music. And people have fun.

That's what it's about because everything is politicized. Good heavens, ice cream is politicized anymore. It's insufferable. Stop it. It's like everybody has to show a car.

Like, wait, what are your politics before we enjoy anything or have any kind of experience? Gotta check in. No.

No.

Sometimes opting out is the revolutionary thing to do. in some respects.

So it's like, no, my job is for the people that want to come and they want to have a good time. Because doesn't it seem like it's sort of few and far between lately? I'm just saying, it does. It does seem like that. Goodness.

So thank you, Mick Jagger. It reminds me of um Michael Jordan saying, you know, Republicans buy shoes. Right. Yeah. Jagger's background is very interesting.

You know, he really studied accounting too, so he could understand how to get involved in all their finances, and he double-checks all of his stuff. He's like a very smart dude. He's a very uh he does he's not gonna get swindled. It's very smart. All right.
