Welcome to the program.
Alright, so the other thing... Two hit. has to do With this interview that the vice president gave, he was speaking with Joe Rogan. And they covered a lot of different things. Um that but there was one sound bite in particular.
We're gonna go through some of this. There was one sound bite in particular that Yeah. How do we put it? Concerned? people, or I guess maybe was one of the ones that They found they had the most objection to.
Let me pull up my audio list here because this is going to be.
So let's start with this. This is cut three. And they were talking about. Specifically. The negotiations with Iran, right?
I want you to listen to this because we're going to unpack this sound bite. This is cut three. This is the vice president yesterday. Listen. But I definitely think you have seen this very discreet, extremely well-funded campaign to try to derail the negotiation and try to derail the deal.
And there was, again, there's this Time article that came out yesterday. A friend sent it to me. It's like worth reading because it lists a bunch of people who have quite literally been paid. By a former Trump campaign person who was himself paid by certain elements within the Israeli government. And those people are attacking me viciously for quite literally trying to accomplish the negotiation objective that the president set for the country.
So, what is their position? Like, are they attacking you how? Oh, it's social media posts. It's either they're leaking to reporters. They're attacking me obsessively, saying that we should not be negotiating with Iran.
We should just keep the military campaign going indefinitely. And that is their explicit position. And coming after me, saying that, you know, people have come after me and say that I'm influenced by Qatar, that I'm influenced by foreign governments, that I take my marching orders from Tucker Carlson. And there's just so much bullshit out there when what I'm actually trying to do is accomplish what the President of the United States told me to accomplish, which is a settlement of this. That accomplishes our objectives.
Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon. We have the free flow of oil and gas.
So, what is he talking about? He's talking about this. Let's start with this Time magazine article, because, first off, I thought that this, I thought his answer here and what he just told Rogan was absolute BS. That is ridiculous. And I don't I'm ambivalent.
I don't it takes me a lot to dislike a politician, unless they're unless they're Democrats. But it also takes me a lot to really like a politician, if that makes sense. Like, it's equal opportunity there. What aggravates me about what he just said here is because it sounded like Tucker Carlson wrote it. And I'm going to get to this Time Magazine article here in a second.
One of the things that he, I felt like this was controlled opposition, his answer. He's trying to. And in some ways, disassociate himself from Carlson, but yet still repeat all of Carlson's talking points.
So there's this think tank called the Quincy Institute, which is something that Vance has been a part of. And a lot of his advisors are those people, and they are very much like the Typical Carlson line of thinking. There is a faction of people that come from that mindset, and that's one of the reasons why they all sound similar when they talk about this. And I feel like he's trying to disassociate in some ways. I'll put some distance between himself and Tucker.
But He still has all of Tucker's talking points. And the other thing, too, is that no one believes that they're not close. I mean, you have to remember: the vice president of the United States, his deputy press secretary, was Tucker Carlson's son. I mean, and Tucker Carlson's son was able to get that job because his dad's Tucker Carlson. And he worked there, and only until it became uncomfortable because of the stuff that Tucker was saying did he end up leaving.
And then, even though he's never run a campaign before or done anything else, he decided to create a firm on K-Street, dime a dozen, right? Nepo babies run them, they line, they litter K-Street.
So This Blaming this on influencers Before you blame it. On jihadis? that aren't interested in negotiation. is a mind job. And I find that to be not very America first.
So here's this piece that he's talking about, this Time magazine piece.
Now, do you guys remember this guy, Brad Parscal? Is it Parscale or Par Parscal? Parscal? I have never met him in my life. And apparently They had this Time magazine piece where they get into Trump's ex-campaign manager is running an Israeli influence operation targeting the MAGA base.
Which I find interesting considering All of the completely Equal influencers that get paid from for fact, from Qatar and everywhere else. Uh but I don't know. I and it gets into Parscal's how he helped POTUS in 2016 with Facebook. and helped with his Facebook reach. And did all of that.
And he was apparently really good with the AI there, et cetera, and helped the president tremendously with that. What I think is also weird with this. Is, I mean, I was reading this piece and it talks about all the tools that he uses and how Parscal acknowledges the piece said that his operation was intended to prevent people from drifting away from supporting the ally in the Middle East, et cetera. And he talks about he's never funded or undermined Trump ever, et cetera. And it gets into, I guess, the pace structure.
The influence, and just so you guys know, and this is on the right and left, people get paid to post. I hope you know this. They absolutely get paid to post. I have been offered tons of I've been offered a hell of a lot of money to post. But I don't take it because, even if I agreed with it, because what's the point?
I don't need it. What would be the point? And I get people who are like, you're just leaving money out there. Why would you say no to that?
Well, why would I say yes? Anyway.
So But they do. They get paid. And I have friends who are on X that are very like-minded. Who gets paid to post? I know for a fact also that there are people that I absolutely do not agree with that pretend to be on the right, that make fat bank by getting paid to post.
There are literal firms out there created just to do that.
So The Pay structure, it gets into, you get however many views, you get a bonus for it. I mean, it can be thousands of dollars.
Now, he says none of the money from his FARA registered contract is used to pay influencers because then they would have to disclose their funding. And he says that. Like he wouldn't def he wouldn't identify some of the people that he works with. They were trying to name some of them, they named a few of them. Uh but He said, he talks about his initiative.
I don't even know why he agreed to even do this article, if I'm being honest. I don't even know why. We had some of you pull this up. We had somebody. Let me grab this.
This uh Who was it? I can't remember if it was Wall Street Journal. I'm looking for it because somebody had texted me. It was a reporter that had texted me, and I don't think that they were associated with Time.
Sorry, I just thought of this. I'm going to pull this up real quick. Let me scroll through. The message that I had received, when where was this? Gosh, I don't even know this.
person They had reached out and said, asked for comment about a piece. I guess I don't know if it's another piece that's coming out or what. Oh, here it is.
So the person's name it so it's Natalie Andrews from the Wall Street Journal. And they reached out and said, We're working on a story on influencers and your name came up in some reporting, so I thought you'd go straight to the source.
Now this was June 26th when this happened. And I texted back. I said, Hi, Natalie. I'm not sure how my name came up in an influencer story or how my number is out there, but sure. Mike, I'm on air until this time.
We can talk after that if that works. And then I didn't hear back. I didn't hear back from them. Because I get violently angry at reporters when they try to do hit pieces on me. And it's there was who was it one time during the whole Alex Jones Sandy hook thing, there was a reporter from Rolling Stone who was trying to fake me out, who had texted and was like, Oh, yeah, well, somebody had created a fake email account using my name.
And they were sending out crazy, horrible stuff about the Sandy Hug stuff. And somebody, it was from Rolling Stone, Messett had emailed me and said, We saw your email. Would you like to comment on this? And I unloaded. I CC'd two of my attorneys.
And I was like, I am going to spread your backside like theater curtains if you proceed down this path. I'm like, because A, this is not me. B, I don't ha this is not it's literal it was like not a Hotmail account, but it was like the equivalent of a Hotmail account. And I'm like, I will own everything you have. If you do this, including your birth certificate, if you have one, I will take your family home.
I will take your dog. I'll take your car. I will throw you and your wife and children in the street if you proceed down this path with me. And I CC'd both of my attorneys and I'm like, you let me know how you want to go. And that was it.
That ended it.
So I was anticipating the same thing from this.
So that's the fun thing about being completely unpurchasable. Is that I can say whatever the hell I want, and it's my two cents. None of, there's so many people out there who can't.
So You want to know who gives me my talking points? It's me. It's me. So anyway, I haven't heard back from Natalie.
Now, I don't know if she's a friendly or not. I don't know, but I just don't treat anybody in the press as though they are. I am immediately hostile.
So I was looking at this Time magazine piece back to this, and I'm reading it. I'm like, why, first off, why the hell would he agree to do this piece? And secondly, why is Vance blaming his failed? Approach to Iran on influencers instead of on the Iran, the Iranian jihadis. You have a bunch of Twelver jihadis that are the ones that tanked the negotiations because they're not interested in negotiating.
And the Vice President of the United States pulls a John McCain and blames the Hobbits. Are you kidding me? That's what he did. Am I wrong? No, by the way, I love making it.
But I I did ag disagree with her dad on that. But no no harsh feelings. That's what it felt like. You're sitting here telling me that that seemed incredibly thin skinned. to have that response.
to blame it on that. on influencers. Which I would think that pretty much now we're now everyone's an influencer. It's like how the left says everybody's racist.
Okay, everybody's an influencer now, apparently. I don't know. But the other thing is that he's got so many people in his orbit that you could say the same thing about. I mean, for crying out loud, there's, I, I, I, that doesn't make any sense. Like people with the Quincy Institute or some of these other individuals, PSQ Impact, 25%.
are non-U.S. persons amongst its investors. That's a firm he works with. Which is also a very easy way to get around having to register under Farah. I'm just saying.
So I'm just very. Like confused about why he decided to take that route. I thought that that answer that he gave, I don't know if Rogan made him feel very comfortable. And so he was just like, I'm gonna let it all hang out or whatever. I don't know.
But I this is it this sounds like Tucker talking points. We're not going to do this old establishment boomer con shtick. Where we are going to say, well, if you don't like my failed policy, I guess it's because Israel's paying you. You're going to blame Americans over the 12 jihadis that have zero interest in negotiating? How is that America first?
You're giving the jihadis a pass. That's not America First. That's Red-Green Alliance. That's Dugan. That's Tucker.
And now you see why some people have some serious concerns about some of the stuff that the VP has been saying. including yours truly. I felt that this was immature, it was petty, it showcased thin skinnedness. And I think that they're now getting a little too far ahead of themselves. This op to try to spring a certain campaign on us going up into 28, they're getting way too confident and they're getting sloppy, and they're showing all of their cards way too early.
I mean this is I I was just shocked to see that as an answer in an interview. Especially considering his associations. We've got a lot. I mean, I haven't even started digging in on this. We've got a lot more on the way as we move.

We were having a discussion about this interview that the vice president gave with Joe Rogan, and it was pretty crazy.
And how. I, well, let me really quickly, because I got a couple of audio soundbites for you. Can I just really quickly have number three again, Juan? Just so I can wrap this point up, and there's a couple of other things we have to hit, and we're going to get to this other stuff as well.
So, this is cut three. But I definitely think you have seen this very discreet, extremely well-funded campaign to try to derail the negotiation and try to derail the deal. And there was, again, there's this Time article that came out yesterday, a friend sent it to me. It's like worth reading because it lists a bunch of people who have quite literally been paid. By a former Trump campaign person who was himself paid by certain elements within the Israeli government.
And those people are attacking me viciously for quite literally trying to accomplish the negotiation objective that the president set for the country.
What is their position? Like, are they attacking you how? Oh, it's social media posts. It's, you know, they're leaking to reporters. They're attacking me obsessively, saying that we should not be negotiating with Iran.
We should just keep the military campaign going indefinitely. And that's what no one said.
So that's a lie.
So already I'm a little angry at J.D. Vance because he's lying. And we deal with that enough from the left. No one said we should just keep this going indefinitely. Those were his words.
He said that twice before. That's an absolute lie. Show me where someone said we should have an indefinite military campaign in Iran. Show me. Or shut up.
Show me. You can't because it's a straw man argument that is being invoked to make someone look as though they are the empathetic victim in this situation. I just find it incredibly thin-skinned. Republicans should not be acting like this. I do not want to see my VP complaining about Randos on the internet.
And it's not very, don't sit here and tell me about America first when you're blaming, if you're gonna blame. influencers for derailing negotiations within a jihadi regime instead of the jihadi regime that for over forty years has had zero interest in good faith negotiations, you're not very America first. You're giving the jihadis a pass. And I read this Time magazine article. Apparently, there's only like a handful of these.
I don't even know who some of these people are. I've never even seen some of these people on social media.
Now, if you want to sit here and talk about people who are paid, I mean, we can talk about Vance's connections to Viktor Orban's government in Hungary, and how you had people like Gladden Papin and Rod Dreer, who literally were paid by the Hungarian government to push Orban talking points in the United States. I mean, that's why this is stupid to do. The problem is that you have a regime that's not interested in good faith negotiation. That has nothing to do with some rando influencer on X. Are you kidding me?
Well, you know, the Iranian regime, they were going to come to terms with us and they but then they read what uh Big MAGA seven zero one nine four said on X and they decided they can't do it. you know, because they didn't like what he had tweeted. That's what I We're supposed to accept that. That doesn't even make any sense. No, they were just not interested.
Because they're a bunch of ji jihadi twelvers, that's why. You know, they believe in that whole 12th themam apocalyptic. Like nonsense. They believe in that.
So that's why. It has nothing to do at all whatsoever with what Rando said on social media.
Now, here's the other thing I keep seeing a lot. Everyone's trying to deflect criticism of these remarks by saying that it is an op to criticize not just the VP, but any elected official that agrees with him. In reality, the people that are saying any criticism of the VP or any elected official is an op are the literal, actual op. Hashtag Fact. We all know the firms.
that exist in DC. that send out the talking points. We know the little groups. We know them because these people are stupid. They brag about it.
They all get together and they take pictures and selfies of themselves and put it up on social media. And then they take offense when they all tweet the exact same thing at the exact same time repeatedly over the course of a couple of years. I mean, I'm not saying that all the receipts are. We could spend the rest of the week. and all of the next sub subsequent weeks talking about this with receipts.
So no, the people who are saying that criticism is the op, they are the actual op. But that's not the only thing you I feel like it's My opic to think that To expect even. Good faith. negotiation from Iran. That hasn't happened in our lifetimes.
Now There were a couple of other things. that they came out with that I thought was very interesting. Um for instance He went into, let's see. I what was it? I think getting into.
The Epstein, he got into the Epstein stuff. This was cut seven, which I thought was crazy. Listen to this.
Well, most people think he was Mossad. Yeah, Mossad or CIA or some other deep state, whether in America or Israel or another country or both. You know, look, was he he clearly had connections to the upper s the highest levels of American ill intelligence. He clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence. I mean I don't know.
I mean, well, we know he had, we know, I mean, we know he had contacts pretty much everywhere. I mean, remember, one of his dearest friends was Steve Bannon. Didn't Bannon's kids call him uncle? Yeah, that's what I had read that they had called him uncle.
So we know that he had connections to a number of places. I mean, what the thing is, the videos that are out, though, and I will say with this one, and it's not because of our team, it's because of the video, the way it was clipped. The part of the video, the next part of the video, Vance admits that there were zero documents connecting Epstein to any intelligence agency.
So. I don't want people to, so I want to make sure that that's understood. And it's not you, because that's the way the video was clipped and released. I think probably for sensationalism purposes. Literally, like Rogan says something.
They cut it off right after Vance answers, but then right after that, when the video continues, if the video is continuing, Rogan says something or like makes an exclamation, and then Vance says, Yes, there's no. Actual, there's no documentation at all that connects him to any intelligence agency, be it. Mossad, be it CIA, etc.
So he says that in the video, which is omitted in the clip. That Is circulating.
So the clip circulating makes it sound like Vance is saying this, and he's speculating in this early part and comes back and says there's actually nothing connecting there. Uh but There's a lot of, I mean, We know, for instance, I mean, there's a lot of stuff out there, a lot of indirect evidence, I would say, especially with Jelaine Maxwell and some of these other friends. Like Epstein was very close with the former Israeli Prime Minister Ewud Barak. And that Didn't have a mossad element, but the relationship continued after Ewud Barak left office. And that is one of many Either former leaders or party leaders that Epstein had had a close relationship with.
The Mossad thing and the CIA thing, that's the one thing that has not been. proven. But there's tons of absolute hardcore proof stronger connections. With Bannon and some of these other ones, which is interesting because Bannon was one of the guys that first launched the whole thing that Epstein was working with Massad. And remember, Bannon.
Was best friends with Epstein. I mean, I had read that his kids called Epstein uncle. They had tons of photos together. They hung out together all the time. And all of these emails came out.
And they were released. By Trump, by the way, by the Trump White House, and it showed Bannon. Eagerly, zealously working with Epstein to rehabilitate his image after his convictions for predation, right? And they were talking about how they could get Trump out of office. In those emails, you see Bannon's real true self.
You see his true hatred for Trump. He never liked Trump. Just like, you know, he always rode the coattails of everyone. When Sarah Palin was coming out back in 2008, Or before that, going into that presidential election, he glommed onto her and told everybody. And I remember this because I was in the tea party at the time, and I've heard him say it.
Like he glommed onto her and promoted this idea that he made her. My late friend and former boss, Andrew Breitbart. He acted like he made the Breitbart website. Steve Bannon acted like he made Breitbart. He didn't make Breitbart.
He glommed onto him and wrote his coattails. He has a habit. His entire life is hopping from one person who's ascending to the other and then trying to take credit for their rise that was going to happen with or without Bannon. And he did the same thing to Trump, he told people that he made Trump. Bannon told people that he made Trump.
Are you kidding me? Good heavens So He was very, he got dismissed if you remember. from the White House and Trump turned on him. And he went after Don Jr. He called Don Jr.
a verbatim traitor. And he promoted that New York Times story, remember, where they were accusing Don Jr. of meeting with Natalia Vedaleskaya or whatever her name was, that Russian agent who was working with Fusion GPS to lobby against the Magnitsky Act back in the day when Hillary Clinton was running all of that stuff back in 2016. And the New York Times ran this completely debunked now story where they were saying that Jr. met with her, you know, excuse me, in Manhattan.
And he promoted that. And he called him a traitor. And then he was subsequently dismissed. After Trump was elected and he allowed that one guy to come into the White House, what's his face? The guy who wrote the book, he allowed this guy complete access of the White House.
And I know for a fact that there were people in Trump's circle that were livid that Bannon was letting this reporter, this Michael Wolf, walk all through the White House and talk to everybody he wanted to talk to. There was a lot of fighting about that behind the scenes. That's a fact. And when all of that busted out, that's when Trump dismissed him and was like, Sloppy Steve, get out. Bannon was enraged.
And so he and Epstein were colluding to try to get Trump out of the White House.
So those are those receipts. And I think it's interesting because he and Carlson, they're all the same people. They're all like, you know, of that, that, that Quincy Institute Hive Mind. And they have their own foreign influence connections. If you remember, Bannon was arrested a couple of years ago on the yacht of Miles Guo, who is literally a CCP stooge.
He is a guy who's high up in the CCP. And he ended, and Bannon ended up getting arrested on the CCP assets yacht.
So you want to talk about foreign connections, there you go. And that's all part of Vance's circle. That's all his.
So I just think it's interesting going back to, I think it's incredibly dangerous to attack everyday Americans and try to chill dissent by claiming that any legitimate criticism is an op. I also think it's very, very bad for the nation and not America First to blame Randos on social media for the failed negotiation with 12 or jihadis in Iran when it's the 12 or jihadis in Iran that have never had any good faith intention at all whatsoever of engaging in or concluding negotiations. That's what's crazy about this. And there's a lot more of it. Also, coming up, we've got to get into the left losing their minds over blue angels.
Apparently, I... Thought everybody knew that the Blue Angels were like down in Pensacola and they did this stuff and they did training flights and they did fly pasts and all of that. But apparently there's like a section of the left in the United States that had no idea about this guys. And they're losing their minds and they're going off. They have no clue.

We're at the bottom of this third hour as well. A number of things to jump into.
So we were talking about, for instance, the whole situation, the whole just gonna like wrap this up with J.D. Vance and his interview on Rogan. And I, you know. I just think To blame, because he said in the interview that the reason that the negotiations with Iran failed is because, apparently, of influencers that are paid by Israel and the United States. Not because of the jihadi twelvers.
that run the regime. But apparently, because of like Randos on X named Big MAGA 09271, who were like, I don't wanna, I just wanna keep on bombing Iran. I mean, he was saying in the interview, and we were playing it, that. You know, apparently, there were people that just wanted perpetually forever bomb and then nuke Iran. I don't know of anyone who said that.
He never actually said who said that. He just like made it up whole cloth to have. I mean, he's very good at festering up, like feathering up a little straw man to argue, but that's, I just could not. Just the weirdest thing. the weirdest thing.
I don't know. But Tucker Carlson loves him, cut nine. I have all, I mean, I've, you know, this is, I think, publicly known, but I advocated very aggressively for J.D. Vance, both. to get Trump's endorsement when he ran for Senate and Uh for VP.
In the summer of 2024. And so, I mean, my views on J.D. Vance as a man, I think, couldn't be clearer. I think he's a very decent person who loves the country. who has the right values and has Pretty much the right ideas.
And that's why his son was his deputy press secretary. And so you can understand why, because considering all the stuff that Tucker has said lately. And done lately, you can understand why people would be a little bit concerned about that. But here's the other thing. When he was speaking with Rogan and they were talking about Iran and the negotiations, I mean, first and foremost, the fact that you would blame people on social media in the United States over the jihadi terrorists that run the Iranian regime for the failure of negotiations is just mind-blowing to me.
And I think it portrays a A naivete. Completely. On How that how foreign policy He doesn't, I mean his experience is very limited, right? He was in the Marines and on combat. In a non-combat role, and then he practiced law for like, what, 18 months, went on to become Senate, and then he's.
So he's had a very fast, very, in so many ways, he's very similar to Obama. And I was, you know, looking for instance. When you look at his foreign policy, one of the things that he and Obama come to a very solid point of agreement on, and this was very well explained in his interview, is that the belief set that Iran is one bailout away from becoming a decent nation. or a decent regime. The regime is one bailout away from behaving like a legitimate government.
I just don't believe that. They really do believe they think that economic integration and diplomacy, that is the way that you deal with Iran.
Now how long have we tried that? I'm not s by the way, I think it is. a mental abortion. To go from, well, that doesn't really work to, well, why are you wanting to nuke them? I mean, you realize that those are two completely polar opposite things, and it's absolutely retarded to say.
That because economic integration and diplomacy in Iran has failed for over 40 years, then I guess we must nuke them. You realize that's retarded to say. I just want to establish that because a lot of the drive-bys on social media is what they push. But that is literally how Vance has repeatedly framed his negotiation strategy with us. Is that well, if we are just able to better integrate them economically?
Now, the one place that they do differ is funding because Barack Obama, remember, that's the $1 billion pallets of cash that were given to Iran and the unfreezing of assets, although we did unfreeze some assets as well under the administration. But Vance likes the funding coming from other Gulf states, whereas Obama wanted funding to come from the U.S. But Vance also believes that reducing or ending sanctions on certain things. is a factor that can be entertained as well. Otherwise, there really may be like one or two things that they differ on, but the JCPOA from twenty fifteen is pretty much where Vance is.
in terms of how he views Iran. Because what he says and what Trump says are entirely different things. Trump goes out there and is like, look, they're not going to negotiate in good faith, so we're going to blow their answers up. That's I mean, that's the stuff that he says. Whereas Vance is like, well, you know, he talks about economic development and things like that.
That's not the issue. I mean, the issue isn't money. The issue is that they are radical 12er gi hotties. And that's first and foremost how they see everything. They see it all through that lens.
So I'm very nervous. that This is Vance's outlook. And just as Trump has been super consistent. Vance, even though I think he tries to dress it up to appeal to certain audiences, he's been very consistent. I mean, he has blasted Trump previously.
It wasn't until Carlson began promoting him. For Senate. that Vance stopped blasting Trump. Um I mean, he literally verbatim said that he's Hitler. His own mouth, he said the word Hitler.
We played it on air. He has blasted him with a number of other things. And then he says, Well, I was wrong or I was misled. I think it's that's. Fine, I'll accept it, even though I don't really, because I think that if you think someone is Hitler, you don't really go from that person's Hitler to, yeah, it's okay, I was just misled.
I mean, that's. It's a pretty big deal. You know what I mean? But For the purpose of moving on, I question the Authenticity. And I don't think that he's on the same page as POTUS, which is why they have very different.
Narratives when they go out and speak. And I kind of wonder: is I mean, POTUS just not like hanging him out to dry with us? Like, okay, well, we tried it your way and it didn't work.
Now we're back to my way. This interview just created a lot of questions and it underscored my belief that he is I know because I know he wants to run in 28. He says he doesn't, my gosh, his whole life has been trying to get him in the White House. He wants to run in 28. I don't think he's ready for prime time.
I don't. And this interview, every interview he gives, it just makes it worse. It's just, it keeps getting worse, and I just need him to take a beat. Let Trump accomplish because it's distracting, I think, from what the President is trying to accomplish.
So, we don't need any distractions, especially going into midterms. We got to be really careful about this. I want to talk about data centers for a moment because New York became the first state to ban data centers for a one-year. It's a one-year moratorium. They're trying to create a regulatory regime there, which who knows what that's going to look like.
The issue with data centers, though. I think so much of it is a psyop. I think that there are legitimate, absolute concerns about data centers. I think that there are areas of the country that have built and implemented or incorporated data centers, and they've done so disastrously. I don't think data centers should be giant resource hogs and jacking up energy for anyone else.
There are definitely smart ways to go about it. And I have a lot of experience with data centers. We've had data, like my hometown, they fought and kicked, they stopped a data center being constructed. I have a dear friend who their property, they're going to have a data center literally in the field across from them.
So we've seen it, we've been dealing with it in Texas, in Missouri, they've been dealing with it. It's a big deal. But here's the other thing: I also think so much of it is overblown. I mean the The electricity is greater. I think, what is it?
4% of total electricity consumption in 23, a little over 4%, is the usage from data centers. And they said it's going to be by 2028 about 12%. But it's 0.2% of the 322 billion gallons of water that Americans use every day.
So there are some things that are. kind of overblown. I don't think that they I think that the zoning is a big issue for data centers. Zoning, and there are, like I said, there are areas too where. It has been horribly implemented.
But the backlash against this. I think it has been fueled by China for the purpose of allowing China to take the lead, like they did with rare earth elements. Just like they did. We bought into.
Now, I understand you have environmental protections, all of that. You have worker protections, I get it. In the United States, though, we created such an oppressive regulatory structure for the extraction of rare earth minerals that we can't extract them. I think we've got like one mine that's kind of going online and another one that's been 13 years in the making because it takes that long to even get it. Just to even get to break ground.
I'm not even talking about it being fully operational yet. And in China, they don't have environmental protections or worker protections or anything like that.
So they don't give a rat's backside. I get that. But we created this really oppressive regulatory structure that makes it super difficult and expensive and not worth the effort of extracting them ourselves. And we bought into all of that. And so China took the lead.
And now here we are in an economy where we are doing more and more solar this and we are using all of these rare earth elements, lithium for batteries, all this stuff, and China controls the monopoly of it.
Now, the same thing is going to happen with data. If we don't figure out the smart way to do it and stop buying into the TikTok PSYOP, we are going to find ourselves in an even more dangerous position with data because we are, I think, the PSYOP is making it difficult for local areas, localities, and municipalities to get it right. There are absolutely unique problems and challenges. that are presented by all of this, but.
So much of this is overblown. I mean, think about it. They're looking at. They've had I mean, there are people blasting it. I really think it's with Gen Z that it's the, it is really like the most opposition, is with Gen Z.
I think that they said that there are 770 data centers that are in the development pipeline right now. Looking at some government figures. I mean, that could be anywhere in the pipeline. That could be, you know, surveying. I mean, I'm not saying operational, but like in the pipeline.
They're like, it's in that process. And The They look at electricity demands, they look at water demands, they look at all of this. That also presents. another opportunity for innovation and figure out to figure out energy efficiency, to figure out power generation. There are I mean, I can give a ton of bad examples, but I can also give some really, really good examples.
Like for instance, they were talking about some of these other ones. They have I think what in Washington? How many? There's a bunch of data centers near the Beltway. Did you know this?
200 data center facilities that have a physical footprint of 47 million square feet right around the Beltway. They also have, in the wider Northern Virginia region, they have 13% of the entire world's data center capacity. And that supports a huge percentage of the global internet activity. Amazon's web servers, just so you can tell where I'm getting this from, this is from Virginia.gov and the New York Times. This is New York Times.
Amazon's web servers, data centers, they had a brief disruption in 25. That hit Venmo. It hit even the British government's tax services went down. All of that.
So they're trying to figure out the best way to zone these. They're trying to figure out the best way to implement them. You don't want them hogging power and resources, but at the same time, Um We've got to figure out a way to live with this because this is where the future is going. And When you're talking about AI control and data control, Who do you want? to be filtering that.
Do you want it to be the United States? And this is not a fear-to-scare tactic or China. China is building data centers at an unprecedented rate. Again, it's easier for them because they don't have all the regulation. If someone objects to it, they don't give a rat's bag, they don't care.
So it doesn't mean that we do it sloppy. What it does is we do smart zoning. And I think that when we have these meetings, you really need to be involved in your town hall meetings. There has to be a way, especially if there's opposition to where they're going to go, et cetera, that people can work with their elected officials of their locality and figure out a better way to implement it, a better way to structure it, and maybe some more innovative ways if there are concerns about electricity or water. There has to be, this is something that we're going to follow in the weeks to come.
because I do worry about this. It becomes a national security issue. Data is the future. This is where everything is going. And it does not serve us any good purpose to pretend that it doesn't exist or to pretend that it is not a problem that we need to deal with, or to think that we don't have to have any of these in the United States.
Just let everybody else do it. Because then we will immediately, we will literally fulfill that dugan multipolarity thing, that whole theory, if we continue to turn our backs on this. This is again also part of the red-green stuff. It all dovetails in together.
So we got to be really careful about that. I mean, when they look at, for instance, one of the things, this is a Virginia Assembly's Joint Legislative Audit Review and Review Commission. They discover that most data centers use about the same amount of water or less than an average large office building.
Some, depending on what they're doing, require more.
Some require less than a typical household. And it gets into the different ways that they consume water, cooling, generating the power they consume, all of that stuff.

So I'm reading this New York Post piece here that gets into The blue angels. And they had a low-altitude fly past, which they do these. I have friends that live in Pensacola Beach. And they love their blue angels. I mean, do not come for the blue angels because you will have all of Pensacola coming for you.
And I'm not kidding, they're losing their minds on social media right now.
So, this was yesterday. It was a low-altitude fly past. And apparently, when a plane flies past, you know, umbrellas typically might be upended, things like that, you know, nothing crazy. It was the Breakfast with the Blues flyover.
So, it was part of the Pensacola Beach Air Show, and they had a low-altitude fly past. Um People, I guess, were They lost their minds. Apparently, some of the in the crowd. Sight. That I mean, they had like the sand when you know, when you have a jet that flies past, sand gets put in the air, you know, a tent might fly up, things like that.
That's you know, to kind of be expected. Um but They were like, yes, you know, it was, we're going to remember this for the rest of our lives. But the left is freaking out.
Now there's like an investigation into it. They're investigating this. For what? This low altitude. It might have been too low of an altitude, so they're looking.
I don't know, they're investigating. When you search it, When you look at this online or on social media, it sounds like it's punitively done, that it's like a. Like a the investigation is punitive, right? And I've had some people, so one of my friends who lives, who literally lives in Pensacola Beach, was saying, I don't know why people are saying that this was ultra-low. This has happened before.
It's the Blue Angels for crying out loud. Every now and then it's like a special treat, right? But although these people are trying to compare it to every other. Anytime there's been an air show disaster, all of these people are now trying to compare the Blue Angels to previous around-the-country air show disasters, which I feel is a specious comparison because you're talking about these Navy pilots that are the best of the best compared to like some Rando who's taken his plane out the barn and flew it too low during, you know, the county fair in Kansas. You know, I'm just saying.
That seems to be a very In well, what not in authentic, what am the word I'm looking for? disingenuous comparison.
So apparently, I guess they're having an investigation. CBS says the Navy's Elite Blue Angels say they're reviewing circumstances surrounding the low flyover in Pensacola Beach. And I don't know if you guys saw what SecWar said. He says the flyovers will continue until morale improves. He tweeted that.
That was funny. I mean, I've seen the videos. You know, this happens, this has happened before with Fly Past. Every time? Yeah, I mean, guess what?
It's a beach. Guess what happens? The air hits the sand. Sand's going to go in the air. A tent might come up.
And people were like, it was complete I mean tents flew up and there were I mean it was you know you have to be expected but who goes to an air show and is anticipating a low fly pass and puts up like a four-pole Pavilion. I'm just saying, you know, there's things that you just don't do. That's and by the way, I'm completely quoting one of my friends They had this, what, sky, this one air disaster that got 77 killed, 500 injured. It was a Sky and Live air show of 2002, an SU-27 fighter. It's not the same thing, but they're the ABC, they were comparing it to that.
They're attacking and that was they're trying to argue that it was too low Remember the helicopter pilots that got in trouble and SecWar had to step in? I feel like this is going to have to happen again.
So now they're like, oh, it's a safety review, guys. Stop it. This is kind of ridiculous. I I I I mean I don't know. I just feel like the people are, and I, you know, you see all these different videos of it.
Honestly, I don't really think it's like, I don't know why they're calling it ultra-low. What my friend who lives there was like this is not ultra low And by the way, her husband was in the Navy, huh? Ultra low. Ultra low is when you crash.
Okay. That's when you crash. Yeah. I mean, they had other video of them practicing ahead of it. And it looked Pretty much the same.
as the day of. There was video of where they were. Actually, that's what Juan has in the monitor.
So, this was a practice run. that they were doing one of one of a couple of practice runs that they that they had Uh well that one right yeah and and There's Yeah. But they're uh they're really going after Sec war. They're mad at Sec War for this. And then also, didn't he come out with this like low T or high T, whatever, department of T?
thing People don't understand how important testosterone is to men and instead of making fun of it. Like You either are for men's health or you're not. And especially with guys in the military, because they are under so much stress for such extended periods, that is an adrenal drain, man. And I think it's great that SecWar is focusing on this. I mean, this is something, guys, I'm telling you.
In my family and in my friends, we have a lot, a lot of veterans. And This is something that the wives talk about, and they'll be like, oh, well, he's tired or stressed or fatigued, and there's these. things that they deal with when they come back from duty. That It's not um like um How do I put it? It's that stress and it's that hormonal drain.
They deal with a hormonal issue when they come back. And I don't know why there isn't a lot of discussion over it. One of my friends whose husband is a Marine. Was saying that this was something that her husband, and he's like 42 years old, right? that he's had to deal with and he's working with his doctor.
for the hormonal Aspect of it, and this all came up when Hexeth was announcing, you know, testing troops for low testosterone. I feel like, and the left is making fun of it, and that's part of the problem. It's hard for women to talk about it when they deal with it. And men, especially when they are I feel like expedited into it because of Military service and the stress that they're under, that should not be something that our veterans should be ashamed to discuss. Yeah, that is One of the things that comes with a type of service, especially if you're in combat or if you're doing stressful operations or whatever it is, they should not at all.
feel embarrassed to talk about it and people should not be mocking it. Doesn't that kind of shock you that the left mocks it? Because these are the people that act like you're the heartless one if you don't believe that a guy flaying his dong and pretending that it's a female copulatory organ if you're not exhibiting or demonstrating the right amount of empathy for that person, right? It just feels like the left really betrays themselves on this.
So I've been looking at all of these headlines and all, I mean, the left has been going, did you see some of the stuff that they, they were really mocking this? Like low-T, the low-T military and all of this other stuff. And no, I mean, I think it's crazy that it's 2026, and this is the first time we're actually addressing this with the military. publicly. A demystification of this so much.
This needs to not be like a precious thing to talk about. Lorraine makes the point. She said, for air shows, they have to be low, or you can't see them. But to the low-tee thing, I love that SecWar is focusing on this. This is a huge issue for these service members coming back.
So I love that they're addressing real things and they're being proactive and preemptive about stuff.
So that ongoing testing. Think about it, that affects so much with dudes, their health, their physicality. I mean, not just their libido, but everything, their ability to be able to function to the highest level. And you don't want to have to pump them full of pharmaceuticals to match something that. You know, what do they call it?
HRT horm. Or eight. T TRT. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The hormone therapy or whatever, that that can fix without.
all of the big pharma stuff. That to me, that sounds like a win-win.
So The left being so antagonistic towards it. I just get really, I get really aggravated. What the hell is wrong with these people? What's wrong with them? I think that's a huge thing.
So, good on SecWar for doing all of this. I have a couple of other things. Like, switch it up because I've got some crazy stuff. I'm a little behind with all of this.
So. Let me scroll back up. Netflix thing 'cause I forgot to get that last hour. Love Gone with the Wind. Do you want to know what Netflix how Netflix described Gone with the Wind?
You ready for those? Probably not.
Okay, you're not. Not gonna be ready.
So it says Gone with a Wind, 1939, Drama. Let me, I'm gonna read it verbatim. A 1939 American Civil War epic known for its racism. To learn more about Black Lives in America, search Black Lives Matter. Yes.
Yes. That's where we learn about black lives? That is literally. Hang on, that is absolutely exactly 1,000%. They had that up.
Now, Amazon had something similar. But then they deleted it. They had it wasn't as far as that, but uh they had something r relatively similar. Uh What? Is that That's apparently what their synopsis that they had.
By the way. It was so racist that Hattie McDaniel. She played Mammy. in Gone with the Wind. She was the first Black woman to win an Oscar in February of 1940.
And there were Hollywood celebrities because there was A fight over which door she could enter if she could go on stage. And there were Hollywood celebrities in that audience that were threatening to boycott the Oscars if Hattie McDaniel did not get her due.
So they can sit here and act like that. First off, it was. Accurately portraying what was happening in America. You're not glorifying something by accurately portraying it. People have got to be stopped being so damn afraid of acknowledging history in this country.
It is important to know where we come from so you can understand where the hell we're at today. Why do people try to retcon history? It's like they want to keep perpetuating the very thing that they claim that they want to fight.
So She won. She won an Oscar. She was so good in that she won an Oscar. These other cats said she won an Oscar. Hattie McDaniel.
Famous actress, first black actress to win an Oscar in 1940. I think it's a very interesting film because First off, Rhett Butler is just pff. He is the archetype, man. I'm telling you what. But I always felt like Scarlett was such a brat.
I loved. Her roll the sleeves up, and I'm gonna work hard, and I'm not just gonna, you know, be pretty and enjoy indulgences. She really got in there and worked, but man, alive, I wanted to just swing her around by her hair a few times. Telling you what. But that literally is how they had it listed.
They didn't even tell you about the movie. It's known for its racism. What?
So stupid. If you want to learn more, search for this racist group. Black Lives Matter. That would be the last thing. That would not be the thing that I would recommend if you actually wanted to learn about that in the United States at all.
So I just stunning. But like I said, Amazon did it. They deleted. that description.
Now Netflix apparently pulled it off. Hold on. I think they did pull it off. Hang on, let me look real quick. Because last night I checked, and I did, I searched it once last night, and it came up.
And then I searched it again like an hour later because I was getting screenshots for, I was going to put it in headlines that I. collect the night before and I send out that morning. And it was gone. I think they took it. Or The like their library.
Okay, yeah, that's right.
So now they took it off.
So it's not currently available to stream right now. Wow. If you want to watch it, the only place you can get it is HBO Max. Yeah. said they took it off.
Instead of just being like accurate, like this is a historical, I mean, for Crying Out Loud, it takes place during a certain period. in our country's history.
So That's This is so stupid. It's so stupid. I think it's, I love the story between Scarlett and Red. I don't like how many times she gets put in her place. And I love, like, you know, Melanie with her sweetness, and there's some very interesting contrast in this.
Oh, it's long. First time I ever watched it. was one night before Thanksgiving. And I was up to like 2:30 because I was baking and all that. And I was up to like 2:30 in the morning watching Gone with the Wind, had to get up at make sure that everything was ready by noon the next day.
It was crazy. But it's very, I mean, what do you think is gonna happen? It's during the Civil War. What kind of story do you think is gonna be told in the South during that? You're going to have these particular elements because that's a part of history.
Also, a part of history is the quarter of a million lives that we spent. To settle that debt.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right, first up. Argentina is facing FIFA punishment over a banner after the England World Cup win. That was a really hard match to watch, by the way. I felt really bad for the Brits because it was, you had Beckham up there and he was like crying practically.
I don't think I've ever seen David Beckham cry, but it was really sad. But they're facing, there was like.
Somebody was getting mean with Messi. Oh, yeah. I can't remember. It wasn't Bellingham. I can't remember the other player that was getting really snotty with Messi, and then Messi became a meme because he had this expression.
But Argentina won those finals.
So now, I guess what? England and France play to see who's the first loser? That's only 18. Oh, also, yeah. This, oh I'm gonna pull this up, China as it pertains to China here.
They're introducing rules to rein in AI companion bots because apparently their population that has them is getting emotionally dependent upon them. AI companion services, which have been used from everything for customer service and mental health, people are becoming too dependent on them. And they said that there aren't enough clear boundaries. I don't know why people thought, especially after you see the dependency upon social media and influencing and all that stuff, why they thought that AI bots would be any different. Like, how did you think that that was going to go?
Clearly, humanity is not ready for this. I mean, you see the way that people are addicted to social media and doom scrolling and how it's affecting mental health. This is like the latest. the next stage in that dependency.
So just saying Dogs are the absolute best. God love dogs. Heroic dogs saved a dog walker from an attempted rape. After this masked man tried to chase her and corner her in a tunnel. This was in Australia.
She was walking eight dogs, and this guy literally leapt out of a bush in Melbourne. And two women were walking there, eight dogs between them. And he grabbed one of the women, grabbed her by the neck and upper shoulders, and was trying to drag her into the tunnel. And the dogs went crazy. They chased the guy away, and there's video footage of him fleeing, and these dogs growling and barking and going after him.
That is amazing. But now they're looking for him. I mean, it looks like he's probably an illegal immigrant in Australia. He's definitely what they would term a migrant for sure. And so they're now on the lookout for him now.
I hope they find him and he should be publicly hung because these people aren't, you know. This is one of the funniest things ever. Do you know Lenny Kravitz works out in leather pants? He works out leather pants, jeans, and boots. That doesn't seem practical.
And he's 62 years old and he's got a 10-pack.
Now, do you know why he does it?
So, this photo of him working out, or a video of him working out in leather pants last year, went viral. And now, he did an interview with Men's Health. He's on the cover because he says he doesn't do testosterone, he doesn't do peptides, he just sleeps and eats incredibly healthy. He's a very healthy eater, and he works out religiously. But he said that he works out in leather pants and jeans and boots because that's what he performs in.
And so that's, he wants to be able to control, like, have his body temperature, the feeling of everything. That's, he's, that actually makes out that that tracks. Because if you've ever seen Lenny Kravitz in concert, I mean, he's really good.
So that tracks. Prince, from what I read, used to do something similar. With like his costume pants, he would work out in his costume pants because he wanted to be able to kick and do all that stuff.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. I saw I was asking that. Baltica, that's what I was thinking of. Baltica 9.
That's the bear I was thinking of. I asked the guys on break because I saw the story about this Nantucket official who had open white claws, she's a Democrat, in her car, and she had this very cringe DUI arrest video. And I'm like, do people actually get drunk off white claw? I I don't know anything about it other than it's like Zema. And then we were talking about Like some of the most alcohol and because you were saying it's like similar to a beer, and I'm like, oh, and then I mentioned La Fin du Monde, which is no, no, no.
And then Baltica 9 is the strongest lager that I've ever had in my life. But that's like, I think it's 9% ABV. But then they had this Scottish one. Kane did not believe this, but it's true. I'm not going to say it right.
It's B E I T H I R Bither Fire. That's 75%. How would that's not even beer anymore? At that point. 100% alcohol?
Yeah, ABV. That's it. Yeah. No, thanks. Dude.
All right, today's stupidity. Woo!
Alright, how about this one? We do cut 20 Minnesota's Governor Tim Walls, who pardoned a rapist, a child molester. To keep him in the country, thank God Secretary Rubio revoked this visa and now he's out of the country. But listen to Tim Walz's response when he's asked about it. Did that make us any safer?
Did that make the children that are left behind any more stable? Did it improve? Uh the idea that We can't all be judged by our worst day. And I want to be very clear: these are horrific crimes. They often are.
Yeah. Okay. Did a pardon make us safer? Yeah, exactly. That's the question I would ask.
That's the pardon. Stupid. Folks, tomorrow we'll talk about how Canada's smoking everybody out. Literally, like with wildfires because of poor land management. We're going to have that for you tomorrow.
