Here's what's interesting. There's a book that you need to read called While Israel Slept, and it gets into how October 7th happened. And it gets into in the beginning when they were looking at how the border was immediately. Uh breached. The It's there's a unit, they have a name for it, but Informally, it's called the Observers, and it's a female.
Idea female staffed unit. And their job because they've done different assessments of aptitude for men and women. And women are a little bit, I mean, it's just the nature of things. Everybody knows this. I'm not trying to be sexist.
Women notice things more than men. They can read a room a little bit better. It's just the nature of women, right? It's that nurturing instinct. Women are really good observers.
We can see things, we pick up on body language that men might miss. That's why I always say girlfriend is way more. Multi-level than how dudes fight. Dudes fight and they get over it. Women, no, they'll hold grudges for generations.
They're like crows.
So. They they had this female Uh Group within the IDF, the observers, that were watching the fence, and they noticed all kinds of stuff happening in the days leading up to October 7th. And by the way, I will have you note that October 7th was just the fallback plan. They actually were going to attack in April, and they were trying to organize it with Hezbollah. That didn't happen because Israel got wind of it.
So they launched their plan in October, and because of different Egos and all of that within the communities, the Arab communities with Hamas and Hezbollah, Hezbollah did not join in. Had Hezbollah joined in, I don't know that Hezra would be standing there today. The thousands of rockets that they lobbed over, and that's how it started. Hamas changed up their tactics. They fired all these rockets over so that everyone would retreat into where are their bomb shelters?
So then Hamas knew where everyone was, they were captive, then they come in in person. That's what Israel was not prepared for. They thought it was going to be like tunnel warfare. They were going to come up through the tunnels. That's why they were basically using all of their concrete to fill in all these terror tunnels.
And by using all their concrete, I mean they were literally blowing through concrete. The plant that they have that's between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv could not keep up.
So you had these group of observers that were watching the fence. And they immediately saw stuff happening. They saw them coming through. They had made. sent up repeated reports.
to the upper echelon of the IDF that were dismissed. That's the truth of it. I talked to the Brigadier General of the IDF Reserves. He Confirmed everything. The book, While Israel Slept, right in the first chapter, it's incredibly powerful and informative.
You should read it. There is this. I think this godlike mythos that has been created Around the IDF and their capability, and they've been, you have to be very defiant, you have to win. You have to win because the option is: well, you can't even entertain the option of not winning. Annihilation is the only other option.
So they have to win. But I think that also made them very, very comfortable with expected victory. and they didn't expect everything. And so when October 7th kicked off at like 6:30 in the morning, they sent a barrage of these rockets and they immediately noticed it was heavier. In fact, one of the interviews with one of the NOVA survivors that is live now on my social media, that's what she said.
That when they first heard the rockets in the morning, they were so used to it, they just kind of shrugged it off. But she said she immediately did notice that it was more than usual. And they kept coming, thousands and thousands and thousands. And The After they started doing that, that's when they breached the fence. And those observers were like, oh my gosh, they put it up, they said, you know, confirm receipt, and they were sending in, like, they had their phrases that they say.
to denote a serious Breach of border and a serious invasion and they were at everything that they could. But by then it was too late. All of those women were killed, by the way. Hamas came in, surrounded all the checkpoints immediately. They knew exactly where to target.
Um They flew into they like I said they earlier when I talked about this, when they flew in over the Nova Festival, they did not know about the Nova Festival. They actually stopped and were radioing other Hamas fighters circle back because we have a bigger target now. They were actually going to a different kibbutz, which is their name for a town. Kibbutzim is the plural of that. They were actually on their way to a.
One of those different villages, and they saw this, you know, thousands of people here. You ended up, I think it was like over 350 fatalities. They had two security people. One, two. Two security people.
So It was pretty wild uh to see And and the the border and There isn't a lot of rough terrain. It's a pretty I mean, they had bulldozers over. The other thing too that came in is that you had people running from Gaza in flip-flops. When Hamas knocked the fence down, you had just Gazans. Running over.
Hamas was shooting up the town and they were looting. There's video of it. If you don't believe me, you don't have to listen to what I say. There's tons of video of it all over. Which goes back to my point of how do you How is the coexistence work with that?
How does that work? I think everybody has this couch crusader sitting on their fat ass in the comfort of the greatest nation in the world. and they can pass judgment. without ever having seen it. I think everybody should have to go over.
And and look, just to have a better informed opinion of what is actually going on. Um The challenge is that I really don't know how you resolve that. Without Total annihilation. Of an ideology that is so. Prevalent It is a culture of religious zealotry.
It's not even a political structure. They were talking about they're trying to incorporate education. And teaching people how to be able to speak to each other, and you know, et cetera, et cetera. Do you do you as a secure state have The runway? to see that through to its end.
With the way things are right now? That's a million dollar question. I say no. I don't know what the resolution is. Aside from A very difficult one.

And now, with a newborn in our family, I'm all about finding safe, stylish, and affordable car seats and strollers. And that's where Joy comes in. What started in the UK as an award-winning baby gear brand and number one car seat made its way to the US two years ago and it's quickly becoming a household name.

Get twenty percent off on joybaby.com's entire site from now until october fifteenth, twenty twenty six. That's joi baby.com. Use code POD20. That's POD20. I wanted to play this for you.
This is uh Audio Soundbite 5, so Hassan Piker, the Nepo Baby terrorist lover. had this to say about who the 2028 Dem nominee is going to be. Watch. Will you endorse the 2028 candidates if they are? Pro-Israel in a way that you don't like.
If you ultimately are about defeating fascism in this country as you describe it, surely shouldn't you get on board with whoever the main candidate is? Luckily, I don't think I'm going to have to make that calculation at all because there is 0% chance that whoever the elected Democrat is that wins the primary will be pro-Israel in any way, shape, or form. You'll see. Hmm. You're really gonna let the Nepo baby sit here and talk about this guy, like Nepo anchor baby, by the way, I should add.
I love people who are like, are we just, our family's been over here for a hot second, and now we're going to lecture to every single American about what they can and can't do and what all of their parties are going to look at, look like, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. It's gonna get weird. It's just only started to get weird, just FYI. It's only just started getting weird.
So, like I said, welcome back to the program. If you missed anything, the podcast, you can go download it from our previous two and a half hours. Also, I got stuff that's out over at Substack 2, which you don't want to miss, including all the Hamas stuff. By the way, this is cut three.
So, Netanyahu met with Trump, as you know. Trump now has been at Camp David with the cabinet. They've been up there discussing everything. This is an interesting soundbite in terms of alliances. Cut three, listen.
When the world, Israel is your only ally. that is willing to fight an enemy that chants death to America. And that is planning to lob nuclear bombs at our cities. Do we want to wait? Do we want to?
Do you want to bet? on the future security of the United States that Iran's Maniacal lunatics who run them will not throw a nuclear bomb at you. I mean, I don't think so.
So. We should do everything we can to prevent it. And right now you have the army of Israel, the young men and women of Israel, the public in Israel who stand up and say, yes, we're willing to stand up at this moment and stand in the breach with the United States. This is the ally that Mamdani and his ilk are vilifying. And what is he supporting?
Iran. Who is he supporting? Hamas. Was he supporting his balah? You know, how what moral What kind of cynicism?
What kind of What kind of absurdity is this?
So there's You know, also one of the things you touched on was nuclear policy and going nuclear with. For instance, the Saudi deal that I think we that that that kind of when was that? Like towards the end of last week was when news of that. It was the Saudi government they want to develop civilian nuclear energy. And that's kind of how it always starts, right?
Oh no, just for civilian purposes.
Okay, sure. But I know why the Saudis are wanting to do it because they're worried that Iran's going to be able to continue doing it. That's the whole thing. They're terrified. That's why all of these economic deals, that's why I call them Obama-esque.
All of the people that have been trying to pull Trump off of his trajectory, to pull Trump off his instincts. as it relates to Iran. They just want to flirt around with Iran and allow them to continue enriching, etc. And so, with that happens, you're going to have a nuclear proliferation that's going to be unmanageable in that part of the world. If they continue, the Saudis are going to want to do it.
And if the Saudis are going to want to do it, then the Emiratis are going to want to do it. Then the Qataris are going to want to do it. Then everybody's going to want to do it. Turkey, Georgia, everybody. Is that the path?
But people want That's the thing.
Now I will say Trump approached it. The administration approached it in terms of, yes, well, we will allow our help, but. You have to sign on and normalize relations with Israel and sign on to the Abraham Accords. I thought that was a very interesting pitch that pod us through. I think he got a lot of.
Now, I wasn't in, I was watching as closely as I could while traveling, but. I think he got some pushback for it. I saw a couple of entities. But really ultimately. If you're in that position, what other, you really don't have a lot of room to move, but that was a really good.
Caveat. to throw in, a real smart one.
So we'll see. But Iran cannot ever go nuclear. They cannot ever go nuclear. And I know, look, I mean, believe, we've seen this our whole lives, that they're this close to getting nuclear. They're this close.
Maybe they have been. Maybe they haven't. Do you want to sit here and flirt around? With that time span, I don't know. Here's the thing that I don't like.
I don't like the people that are trying to pull Trump off of his. Instincts Because Trump has always been We're not going to get involved in quagmires. We're not going to have mission creep. We're not going to sit here and prosecute long, unending conflict. We're not going to do it.
He's always been in and out. In and out. Venezuela was in and out, dealing with Syria, Soleimani, in and out. In and out, in and out That's how it has always been. And I think that that was the plan from the get-go until all of these other.
Soft, Obama-esque, post-liberal. Influences. started trying to whisper poison in his ear. Those are the people that get stuff dragged out. Those are the people that ultimately you get mission creep from their.
ideas You don't want to have anything bragged out. My gosh, if something has to be done. If something has to be done, you want it in and out, boom, bing, out. That's it. I like the idea of overwhelm.
If you're going to get involved into something, Which should be a last resort. And I think after 47 years, I mean, why are people acting like this is not a last resort? Where the hell have these people been? I love these people that think that the day that their balls drop, that's when history begins. Stop it.
Forgive the language, but it's true and you know it. Just asinine. I don't get it. I'll tell you too. You wanna hear something funny?
So, uh I didn't I did not have any Rokana moments. while traveling. I did not. I did not. And we went through a checkpoint.
Because they have checkpoints. going into Judea and Samaria, or what you might know as West Bank. Correctly, it's Jude and Samaria. They have checkpoints going in and out, although they don't really check you in. This is a photo I took of a checkpoint.
But going out.
So the cars that you see that are stopped there, they are exiting Judea and Samaria. We are going through and they usually have private contractors that handle it. Um but we didn't get they they uh They pretty much stop almost every car briefly. And they had opened the doors, and they just asked, you know. Because we have your information.
Are the people who are on the passports we have, are they in the car? And my name was said, and I'm like, hi. It was like class, like, you know, they call your name, roll call, and that was it. And they just I didn't have any issues. But you know what I also didn't do?
I didn't try to go to a military installation.
So, I know where Rokana was when he was there near the border, when he was by Gaza. I know exactly where he was. He literally was trying to drive into a military installation into that. Monitored zone right by the fence, which is right where Hamas broke through, by the way, too. You can't do that.
I mean, of course, they're going to stop you, especially when he did not coordinate.
Now, nothing that I did was coordinated with the government. And like I said, it was literally nothing was compensated. It was not planned with the Israeli government. I literally reached out to some of my friends who were Christians who'd gone over to Israel before to help us kind of like coordinate who can we get as a guide, how can this happen, et cetera.
Now he went over with an NGO. Rokana went with an NGO.
So that's a big difference. Also, when you're going, now, if I had wanted to go to an installation like what he had, I would have had the same experience. If you do not then Contact someone like you're going to a military installation. If you're expecting to be allowed in there, you're going to have to talk to their government. He never did that, and he did it on purpose.
He's a member of the U.S. government. He knows better. I mean, for crying out loud, if you're going to try to go to, you know, Fort Hood or Fort Benning or wherever, you're going to try to go down to Coronado and you're going to go to some sensitive areas that require actual security clearances to get passed. Yeah, you kind of need to talk with someone official in order to make that happen.
Rokana, tried that without talking to anyone beforehand.
So that's why he was stopped. And and then he tried to make it a bigger deal after he was stopped, like a drama queen.
So I didn't have any of those issues. And like I said, Juan just showed you one of the pictures of that, one of those checkpoints. And um they have those obviously for a reason. They're required.
Now we put out a video. I had a video, I think it was yesterday, where I talked about if you want to, the closest thing to what the left calls apartheid, if you wanted to have it there, was. You know, I couldn't go into Bethlehem. And that's true. Absolutely true.
Now You could walk there if you wanted to. Can you walk there unmolested? Probably not. And this was told to me. By Israeli Muslims, by the way.
They were some of the people who were like, yeah, you should not go there. It's not safe for you to go there. And I'm like, why? I'm an American Christian. And they're like, yeah, that's just exactly why.
How sad is that? I found that to be incredibly sad. I wish that would change, but I don't see it changing any time soon. In fact, I only see it getting worse.
So we'll see what happens. And a lot of it comes down to Iran. Cause who funds all this stuff? Iran. Who's been helping Iran lately?
China and Russia. That's the other big thing. And I'm sure that that's going to be part of the discussions today at Camp David. Because it's not just Iran. When you're talking about having strikes in Iran, it's not just them.
Who are they getting assistance from? How did they get a couple of drone strikes that landed on us just last month? That was because they had assistance, most likely, at least, what it's assumed. A lot of open Intel, a lot of publicly available data says, oh, it looks like it's China that's assisting them. with getting past some of the the some of that defense in Russia as well.
We'll see. But there's a really Interesting trifecta. that they are creating. Uh We also, do I have one more thing I want to make sure really quickly. Can we play 12 before we let this go?
This is Katanji Brown Jackson completely switching gears. Telling Michelle Obama. Judges should avoid. any impropriety of partiality. Listen.
You know, there are lots of limits on what judges can do. I hate her vocal. And I try to be very, very mindful and scrupulous with respect to that because, as you say, our obligation is to be unbiased in our approach. And so you have to then. Navigate all the sources that could.
Make for an appearance. of partiality, which you want to avoid. Um so there are lots of things that I end up not accepting for that reason. News sources, I think, you know, I don't have a lot of time, unfortunately, you know, but I do, you know, the normal general media sources are made available. And I think it's harder when you're talking about there's so much social media now.
No, this is a whole different whole different world and not everything is reliable. And the hardest part for judges is that we really cannot participate. Probably saving you some brain cells. Exactly. We need you focused on your opinions.
Yes. I mean, they're sitting here talking about avoiding the appearance of partiality while appearing on Michelle Obama's podcast, King. Seriously. We have a lot more on the way as we move. Our partners that help bring you the program, it's our friends.
Got super beats. Great Texas born and bred company, good friends of ours. They've been with us for a very long time, and I've taken their product for a very long time. I mean, I went through a whole bag and a half. Of Super Beets over there.
It's great, especially just traveling and wanting to make sure that I'm at my peak. I mean, it's just great for healthy blood pressure. It's great for overall heart health. I mean, it really deals with a lot of things, and it has clinically studied ingredients as well. I mean, you have to think about this.
This was founded, the whole Super Beats company, out of UT's Health Science Center. This was research that was focused on blood flow and nitric oxide. Athletes use this. It's trusted by more doctors, pharmacists, and cardiologists than any other beet brand. And that's healthy blood flow, which supports heart health, healthy blood pressure, circulation, daily energy.
Two chews a day is all it takes. And these clinically studied ingredients that I mentioned deliver two times more effective blood pressure support than diet and exercise alone.
Now, the watermelon flavor is new. It's great. I got a bag of it. It's gone because I took it over with me and I ate all of it. But it's refreshing.
It's great for summer. It's limited edition, though. I ask them, I'm like, can we please make it permanent? I don't know if that's going to happen yet. I'll ask again.
I'll aggravate. But right now, it's limited edition.

Visit human.com/slash Dana right now to get a free 30-day supply before they sell out. Remember, the watermelon flavors limited edition, and I'm already told that they're running low.

Use code POD20. That's POD20. Welcome back to the show. It's Friday. I have a top knot.
We don't care. We're just going through the hits, going through the news. And then Kane's trying to scare me half to death about 6G and his cyclos. I'm just saying. Just saying together.
Conspiracy theories. Keep your mind open. I'm going to get into all the meat and potatoes here in a hot second. I need everyone to bear with me.
So, what this man is just telling me on break is that it's 6G that's making everyone defecate themselves to death, and that it's 6G that's getting in there, and it's specifically making the field workers deuce all over all of our lettuces. And I don't know how I feel about this. That's literally what you got from me. That's what you said. I think people understand now.
They've listened to the show a long time, and you misrepresent my positions. And what you do is. Like with old people. You don't like them. No, I say, just not old people are innocent.
Not all of them. See, you just said just not old people. And you're like, you hate old people. No, I don't. No, that's literally what you said, though, about the 60s.
What I said is that we do seem to, if you go back in history and you see when we introduce new frequencies and signals into the country, whether it be all the way back to where TV started, radio started, TV started.
Now we have Wi-Fi, we've got all this 2G, 3G, 5G. They're about to introduce 6G, which I think they already have it out there. But I think they're seeding the the ground here. I think people have physical reactions to those things. And that's it.
Like a punado? That's the reaction? That's I would think it's like headaches and stuff. Quite a picture. But you're like, no, they're dupes in all over your cilantros.
We've gone through all that headache stuff before. I think this is a little different. I think the more they introduce, the worse it gets for us.
Okay.
Well, I mean, it could just be like people being gross out in the field. Like, you know, I don't want to go back to the porter jobs. I'm going to deuce right here by some lettuce.
So, people being gross in the field just started? I mean I think it's o but I think it's more. I don't know. It just is more believable to me than like frequencies all of a sudden rewiring people's guts to make them. Like, you know, I need you to respect my tinfoil hat more.
A turd canoe out there in the fields. It's just really. We need to write down these words. I mean, I d there is there aren't any. Ladies and gentlemen, we are in unchartered times and therefore we need the vocab to to help us ferry along.
Fair point. I'm trying to just fill in those gaps for us. All right, so. Yeah. We were following everything at Camp David.
We were talking about the situation with Hamas disarmament. We're going to get into some of the latest with Iran as well. And then, of course, we've got all the people in Spain. I will say, so I was looking at this island. Let me pull this up.
Oh, wait, no, wrong platform there. Let me pull this up. So I was looking at this. This uh invasion, right? that's in Sutta, which is this island Off the coast of Spain.
Now, there's a little nuance here. Yes, it's Spain, but there's There's a little nuance, and I'm not getting my nuance from actually any of the. Legacy press, by the way. I'm looking at geography.
So in this, they said that It is I think total, they've had 41 fatalities. But so far they're estimating 60,000. Of these illegal immigrants. I'm not saying the word migrant because that's stupid. We're not talking about people who do what I do and who are like, here's my passport.
I'm going to scan it and go through. And no, I do not have anything to declare, Mr. Customs, or yes, I have something to declare.
Well, they're not doing that. They're literally swimming, or although there was some guy who had major props to him. Uh he was swimming with his bicycle. And dragged it. There's a video.
I saw it. I watched it this morning. He dragged his bicycle onto. I mean, that's like some dedication.
So they had like 60,000 of these illegal immigrants. That Poor, it's like if you step on a pregnant spider and all the baby spiders go, wah, it's like that. I know that's a gross analogy, but I don't have anything else right now. It's Friday and I have a top knot. I don't have anything else.
I'm gonna mention my top knot one more time.
So they are they're rushing through this island of Sutta so Where's the nuance here, Dana? You're asking.
Okay, well, let's look at the geography just a little bit.
So, this is a Spanish enclave. On an island that's actually closer to Morocco than it is Spain.
So that's probably the level of ease. that gives you insight into the number. I think The Lampedusa story, where back in September of 2023, you had Not as many. I think you had 3,000 people. That island I think had 12,000 people total as the population.
And in September of 23, you had 3,000 illegal immigrants that came from North Africa.
Now they actually had to go across the Mediterranean a little bit more to get to that Italian island.
So that was a little bit more, uh. This is not that. And and yes, it's still a Spanish enclave, But When you look at the map, there's a little bit more nuance there because of where it's located. I mean, when you look at this island, it is legit. I mean, it's right there.
Off The coast of Morocco. I mean, it's just barely separated by a waterway.
So it's. technically still kind of at least geographically. I mean, it's like, I don't know, what is it, a couple hours from Tangier? It's like right there in Morocco.
So that's why I think you had 60,000.
Now, if they didn't float across the Strait of Gibraltar, right, that would have been insane. They literally just kind of like drove around and then got, they went around. There is a barrier, a land barrier. that separate Suta from the rest of Morocco.
So it's still technically. You know Right there, and for the lack of a better way to put it, attached. Does that make sense? It's still there, and it's still.
So that's, I think. Why I want to talk, like, focus on that nuance there is I don't want people to freak out and be like, oh my gosh. It's, I mean, it's. It's It's pr it's attached. It's like a Like almost like a jetty that juts out.
I don't have a way to like a like a peninsula. It's all attached.
So, what but the difference is that there's a land barrier, one might say a border wall. And if they didn't climb over it, what they did is they went into the water around it, or they took these little dinghies and just went around.
So it's not the same type of like. Harrowing trip That you saw with some of these boats. like in going to Greece.
Now Lampedusa is literally between Tunisia and Malta.
So it's a tiny little island. It's an Italian island. And it's literally right in between Malta, which is its own tiny little island, and Tunisia. And that's You know, uh I would say the southeast portion of Sicily, that's off the southeast portion of Sicily.
So that. That is why you only had like 3,000 people that went into Lampedusa. And from my understanding, there's like 12,000 people again on that island.
So As far as the number, I just kind of wanted to put that into some context as to why there were 60,000 here and why there were only 3,000 here, because you're not going to see that type of number, at least all at once, invading these other entities. Is it right to call it an invasion? I mean, technically, yes. Technically, yes, because that's still part of Spain's territory. It's still Spanish territory.
And I'm not getting into the back and forth of should they have it or all that. But I just think it's important to put that in context to understand why it was that amount. Because apparently, there were people who think that there's giant cruise ships of illegal immigrants going around the Med, and that's not the case at all. I mean, it's literally still, I mean, you could walk it. You could walk from Morocco, never have your feet touch the water, and walk right into Ceuta, but over the wall, but they didn't want to go over it.
They went around into the water.
So that's why so many people were entering from the water.
So that explains a little bit that number. And That's not to downplay the number of people that have been coming in from North Africa at all. I just think it's important to have that context because. It's not that this illegal immigration invasion. Has suddenly ramped up.
I think it's been consistent over the period of like eight, ten years now. And it's not all of a sudden you had just in the span of two days 60,000. It's all of a sudden, it's an increase. Everybody, I mean, It requires attention and it requires A response, but that's why there were so many that did it that particular day, so, or in that span of time.
So, anyway, just to give you a little context for that, we were talking, and we're gonna get into this more. Uh the situation with this Hamas. Um Ceasefire proposal, which I don't think is a ceasefire proposal. I don't think it's I I don't really put a lot of stock into it. We were talking about the president who had announced at the Board of Peace, which is this.
You know, you have this the board of peace, which is This UN organization, basically.
Well, it's a peace board, it's this international organization, and it was. Named in one of the UN Security Council resolutions dealing with. Overseeing that Gaz in peace plan. And so the president had announced on X and on Truth Social that. There, you know, Hamas is going to disarm.
If you read the details, and I included a lot of this in this, the latest piece over at Substack for you. The Yep. I don't know how you can say it's disarmament because they literally say they're not disarming everything. By the way, there are Hamas, different factions of Hamas are already saying that they're not going to abide by any of this.
So that's your immediate. This is not. I don't know if this is just to try to sue things over with while Iran's being dealt with or what it is, but they're not going to disarm. They're not going to disarm. And then, what's more is that they're talking about putting their weapons, and I have no better way to state this other than to call it a terror escrow.
Like they're going to have their weapons. basically be put into the possession of like some sort of Palestinian directed committee? What does that mean? They said that, oh, and they also demand Arab states, they want Arab states to pay retirement compensation. That's not happening.
Hamas isn't getting any compensation. Look, remember what Bill Clinton said. I can't believe I'm, I cannot believe I'm throwing this to Bill Clinton. This is where we're at. Remember what Bill Clinton said: that he had worked with Yasser Arafat, and they had offered them exactly what everybody's been talking about now: this two-state solution.
They offered that to them, and Israel had agreed to it wholeheartedly, and they rejected it. They've rejected it every single time it's come up. It's been rejected.
So they've already had this offer to them. I was in high school when this was going on. Just to give you some, you know, I'm in my 40s now. I was in high school when this was going on, to give you an indication as to how long this has been going on.
So the idea that they're going to disarm I think is a fairy tale. Especially when the details of this proposal literally say they're not going to disarm everything. And they're going to keep some of their heavier weapons.
Some of the stuff is going to be placed in this like terror escrow that this. I don't know. I don't know where the committee is going to come from because the Palestinian Authority is corrupt and basically Hamas runs that as well.
So I don't know what they think they're going to do. Have you ever noticed that most laundry detergents smell like something you'd use to scrub a toilet? I mean, no thanks. Nobody wants that. This is why I love and personally use laundry sauce because it doesn't just get your clothes clean, it makes them smell absolutely incredible for days.

We respect IP. Uh Guys, I gotta ask a serious question. I've only been to Maine, I think, for like five seconds. I think I'm trying to remember. I've been almost, I think, I've been in every state in the Union.
Except for North Dakota Montana and Idaho. Yeah, I've been to every other state. every other state. having not spent a lot of time in Maine. I need to ask you all.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. is going on up there.
Now here's why I ask this. Y'all remember Grand Plattner, right? Y'all remember that dude, Graham Plattner, the guy, the oyster farmer? who wasn't really an oyster farmer. He just like.
Farmed oysters for his mom's restaurant on his friend's island. He was a Nepo baby, grew up in a real nice house. Also, a Nazi, literally, had a totem comp on his tattoo, bragged about it. He's a fruit, right? And all of his girlfriends were like, he's abusive.
See had him Then you have This Ashley Webb feller. Who looks like You know the toad and frog? Stories. Central casting. for one of those characters.
It's like a thumb with hair. You have the Ashley Webb feller. Remember remember him? I know, his name is Ashley, because he wants to be not because he's named after a Gone with the Wind character, because he liked that name 'cause it was a woman's name and he wants to be a woman. And he was running for office.
We got this. Can we roll tape real quick on this? Just to remind you. Because there's way more. This is that Ashley Webbfeller, again from Maine.
Right? Was this the debate question? There's a lot. Yeah. I don't even know which one you're going to get hit with, but...
Just roll it when you got it. I know we're getting ready. He was at a debate several times. Didn't win, but he did run. And then I'm a songwriter, and then I write my own books, and then.
I s suppose my transparency I wouldn't lie to the people and I wouldn't deceive the people like we're being deceived right now. Oh I I'm so. I don't even know what to do with my hands. I'm so, I'm so awkward. He's trying to deceive us.
I can't even get by the mic. He's literally trying to deceive us now to make us believe he's a woman. He is You he's one of those d you know how in the Warner Brothers episodes, like, they make a blink noise? Blank, blank? Like, it's him.
So we got this Ashley Webb feller, right? But wait, there's more guys. I don't even know. What's happening here? I can't believe I'm having this conversa it is Friday.
So In Maine. Again, back in Maine. You got a guy, a feller named Troy Jackson, who's decided to run for Senate. Yeah. You're like, I hear you.
Please be normal. Mm-mm. Mm. Mm, there's a catch.
Okay, he's a Democrat Senate. Oh my gosh. He's with his second cousin. Oh yeah. What do you mean by that?
Like he's b bred with his second cousin and they've had kids. Oh Yeah. I'm going to need a lot of help here because we're going to have a. That's him. He and his partner are second cousins.
I don't know if they're married. But they got two kids. They've got the same great grandparents. I mean, I guess it makes it easier. You know, family reunions and that, because you only got one place to go one time.
Let's go to the family reunion. It's the same family. Right? I mean, for Christmases, you just go the same spot? Is that the logic?
I don't know. Um It's his second cousin. They've I don't it doesn't describe them as being married He's just he's They've never legally married, but he's described her as his wife in the past. But they're second cousins.
Now They In 1985, hold up. I know, I know, I hear you. Maine law prohibited marriages. To parents, grandparents, kids, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles. They banned first cousin marriage, but then two years later they passed an amendment.
Allowing unions If the would-be betrothed presented a certificate of genetic counseling signed by a physician certifying that potential children would have a low risk of being all Yeah. Uh You know, Yeah yeah yeah.
So yeah.
Now he this is after Graham Platiner withdrew.
So this is the guy. That they are apparently going to get, they nominated him July 25th at a special party convention. to challenge Susan Collins. This is the guy challenging Susan Collins. The guy Who's at with his cousin?
Having kids with his cousin. Cain Okay, so Ew. That's all I have. Yeah. What?
Yeah. Where do you go?
Well, when you read the comments on X and stuff on these posts, then you realize there are probably a lot of inbred freaks out there.
Well, shut up. Yeah, or at least supporters of. There are some people that say that it's not that bad. to get with Your second Um When I don't know what's going on, I'm not sure. I can't I can't wrap my head around.
That idea. But I guess some people can. I Sometimes you just gotta throw your hands up. You're like, I don't know. I'm gonna tell y'all a story.
I'm gonna tell y'all a little story. Pull up a chair.
So my family's really big. I have a huge family. I am one of 23 grandkids. And that's just on one side. It's a huge family.
And everybody's from southern Missouri.
So the rule was. As if you were gonna date someone, you, I swear I sound like I came from the 1800s. I did not. I came of age in the 90s, in the late 90s, I promise. Our family was just that big.
So the rule was, if you were dating someone, You called grandpa and you told him the family surname of the boy or girl you were dating. Or you were going to date. I'm not kidding. I don't know if it was just, I don't know. And so there was one, I was a freshman in college, and there was a guy that asked if I wanted to go.
you know, on a date, obviously, and play mini golf. And my first thought was, I hate mini golf. This is not happening. But I'm like, oh Uh let me check my account. Let me check and see make and that was me saying I gotta call my grandpa.
And it's a thing we did. And I told my mom, my mom called my grandpa and gave the guy surname, and my grandpa said, nope. Because we've got so-and-so that is with so-and-so, and yeah, they somehow fell in the family tree somewhere. Hans to sky two weeks later.
Somebody in the family kicked the bucket. My mom had to go to the Ozarks. To go to the visitation. Y'all know it's a big thing down there in those arcs. Y'all gotta go to the visitation, right?
Y'all gotta go pay your all respects. Respects. R-E-S-P-E-C-K-S. Respects. I kid you not, the dude's dad was there.
Cause my grandfather was right.
So when I met my husband, my husband's family, their original last name was Von Loch. They came from Bavaria. They have a family crest that includes a piece of coal, an axe, and a bear.
So I don't know what that means. and they dropped the Vaughan. They came over pre-Civil War. And they fought for the union. My husband's great-grandfather was imprisoned at Andersonville.
It was one of few that came out. Anyway. When I met him, I had to do the same thing. I had to run the name up. The grandpa.
My grandpa was like, we don't have any Germans in our family because our family ancestry is American, Indian, and Irish, heavily Irish. And he's like, we don't have any Germans in our family.
So we were all right. we're okay.
So what why are you making that face over there? Kane's eyebrows are at this point off his face and they're floating above his head. That's not fair. No, it's just it's shocking to I mean, it's Clearly, in history, we've developed ways to avoid this genetic mishap that could possibly happen down the road.
So, why aren't we sticking with it?
Well, and so, okay, if you found out, and this is my question, and you tell me what you think. If I, the moment that my mom was like, yeah, grandpa says that that person's like a cousin, like a second or third cousin or something, I think it was a third. I was like, like, and he. at all idea that I may have been interested, or there may have been, it was gone like that. That's how that back to the future scene when he's With his mom in the car.
You know what I mean? Steve just put, he has two kids with her in Slack.
Okay, so Kane, your question, or I'm asking that of you. If you were told, like, oh, no, no, this girl that you were thinking about going on a date with turns out you're third cousins or something. Yeah. You would you would would would you not be like, right? Yeah, I w but I would be like, oh, fam.
All right, so we can invite them over for like barbecues or whatever, but. That's where it ends.
Well, apparently. Apparently, not Mr. Troy Jackson. He was like, let me get some of that. Let me get on that.
Cousin Love, that's what he thought.
So I immediately am questioning right out of the gate. The judgment, right there. You know what I'm saying? It's a fair point to make. I feel like that is.
I feel like I mean, this is. This is, I'm dying because Lorraine just said that Ashley Webb looks like meatloaf and drag, and now I can't unsee it. Just give me a second. Just give me a minute. I'm a meatloaf and Neil Young had a baby.
Oh my gosh. Stop it. This is not waterproof mascara. It'll run down my face. Anyway, um It's Friday.
I don't even know what's happening. I just This is Maine. I You know, the stereotype is this only happens in Mississippi, right? This is Maine. It's cold up there.
I don't know what that means, but surely that factors in. This guy, like everybody else is like, no, that's kind of gross. This guy's like, mm-mm, mm. And it's second cousin, so they legit have like the same great-grandparents. According, let me pull this up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So they got the same great grandparents. Their parents, his parents, his mom and dad, her mom and dad, are first cousins. First? They've they've been around each other. They've had met when they were kids.
That's weird. That's that's weird. No, I don't. want that. I don't want do you want that in the Senate?
Can you I cannot believe that Susan Collins is going to be going to be able to go, yeah, well, I never screwed my cousin. That's going to be able sit that's going to be something she can say in a debate. Yeah, well, at least I never banged my cousin. At least I never, you know, was looking for tail at the family reunion. She's gonna be able to say that in a debate.
That's all she's going to have to say, every question.
Well, Senator Con.
Well, yes, well, at least I never decided to treat my family reunion like a live game of Tinder. I mean, she's good Right? I'm gesticulating for those not watching the simulcast. How is that? I don't know, my dude.
I don't know. Like, I I don't know. I don't know. I just This is something that only happens with the Habsburgs. That's why they got the jaw and the teeth, like that, and the big tongues.
The Habsburgs, Google it.
So Yeah. 100 plus thousand people voted for Graham Plattner. Not a single damn main voter voted for this cousin lover. Yeah. But this is democracy in the eyes of Democrats.
I don't know. And we're capitalists. God bless America. We can't do it without the people who make it possible.
So, one of those entities is an entity. That is a good option to have when your options are limited. Where it concerns self-defense. I'm talking about the burner gun. I carry and I have zero issue.
I will sleep like a little baby with a belly full of milk at night. With using lethal force against threats against myself or my loved ones. I have zero issue with that. I also know, though, that sometimes you gotta go to places where your rights to carry are abridged. Maybe it's private property.
Maybe it's a municipal restriction. We also support private property rights because we're not Marxist.
So, what do you do? Because you don't want to be defenseless. You want to make sure that you have some kind of an option. This is where Burna comes in.
So, they have different models. Disregard all of that, except for the CL. The CL stands for Compact Launcher. It's about the size of an iPhone. There's no recoil, easy target acquisition.
And if you think of like stun guns, You know, you got one or two rounds with the stun gun, but with the Berna CL, this thing shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 60 feet away, and you have a 15-round shock capacity per cartridge. 15 rounds compared to one or two with a stun gun. I think that kind of answers your question for you. It's another tool in your kit. It's something, it's not a replacement.
It is an option when your options are limited. And the other thing doesn't care about gun-free zones because it's not a gun.
So no gun-free zones apply to that. There's no permits. There's no background checks. You literally order it online. They send it to your front porch.

Use code POD20. That's POD20. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. I just need him to have a different voiceover person.
So apparently, Bobby Kennedy is going to host a cooking show. Dude, I don't know. He's launched a cooking show geared towards teaching Americans how to cook healthy and expensive meals. There you go. I'm not against it because I like food stuff.
I'm like, what are you doing though? It aired Thursday on YouTube. He was working with chef Andrew Gruhl.
So they're doing like, for instance, crispy salmon cakes with apple white. I don't like white beans though. I don't like that. No. I only like black beans.
Sounds very easy. And refried beans. That's it. And green salads.
So they have all of this, you know, they're talking about how to incorporate everything properly within the proper food pyramid.
So that's going to be kind of interesting. I'm sorry, but I'm getting a Martha Stewart Snoop Dogg kind of vibe from this. You know, if you've ever watched them cook, Missouri, our home state, show me state, could be the next state to eliminate its income tax and give everybody a raise. Look at that.
So, August 4th ballot measure would phase out the individual tax based on revenue triggers. That is actually super awesome. I mean, one of the reasons I love living in Texas is because I gave myself a raise because the tax structure in Missouri was no thank you, ma'am. But they could change this in August, so everybody better get out there and be voting. A Dead Space X rocket is about to slam into the moon at 5,400 miles per hour.
Yeah, I mean, okay. Five-story chunk of spent rockets been tumbling through space for over a year with nowhere to go, and on August 5th, it will finally arrive, slamming into the lunar surface near the Einstein crater at roughly 5,400 miles per hour. No parachute, no atmosphere to slow it down, just several tons of dead Falcon 9 upper stage. That's it. That's it.
So it's basically seven times the speed of sound, is what apparently it's going to hit at. I want to see that video of it happening. I do too. You know that they're going to have it. Is there going to be one of them little rovers up there?
Oh, that's Mars. That's a little Mars rover. Oh, yeah. Let's see. We've got more on the way as we roll, including.

That's j-o-i-e-baby.com. Use code POD20, that's P-O-D20. So Lorraine caught the story about how the court has stunned with a ruling that hands Trump a major immigration win. A panel of two Biden appointees and one Trump appointee ruled on the TPS for those quote-unquote migrants from South Sudan and Ethiopia.
So a federal appeals court handed POTUS two immigration victories, reversing a separate district court order that had delayed the termination. The TPS is that temporary protected status. program. For the people that were specifically from South Sudan and Ethiopia. And so they, that's a shocking.
Yeah. That's really shocking.
So did not expect that. I thought that was going to be something we were going to be fighting about for quite some time. But here. It's not. A couple of other things.
Let's see. We may have to have more of this tomorrow, but I had this under Islamism.
So in. you know with the full burqa there was this picture of an a lawyer in nigeria that I guess became a uh a barrister. Or even a uh Judge, they have the full burqa on and then the wig on over it.
Now, this came right at the exact same time that in Britain. They had a woman who ended up I guess she was like, What, British Woman of the Year or something like that? and it was a full burqa. Youth Club founder that was given an award for quote unquote empowering young women. And she's in the fool.
black thing with just the slit for eyes. How is that empowering? How is that empowering? I've never I mean, I'm all for modesty, but that's like. You're It's almost like a veil of shame.
Like you're ashamed. And so you're only going to have your eyes out. The men are only going to allow that. It's like what a vampire would wear to be outside during the day. Yeah.
It's there's literally no skin showing. Zero. You can't tell what it is underneath. No. And then there's a parliamentary wig on top.
Yeah. And then the British woman.
So there's been a lot of polarizing opinion about that over in Britain. uh because they she was Awarded for empowering young women. Um But I just don't think a burqa is a is a benign article of clothing. It's a tool submission. the tool of suppression.
It's this claim that, well, you have to be modest and this is the only choice that you have. It's a logical fallacy. But we'll have more on that next week. In the meantime, today in Stupidity Cain. All right, Juan, this is cut 10.
There's a Dem Senate candidate in Michigan. And by the way, I spent a couple years myself up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Great hunting areas, great land up in Michigan. It's just unreal. This is what she has to say about The Second Amendment.
This is unconscionable. The assault rifles have had their day. That is what I'm hearing from people throughout my district. They're saying that it's time for the assault rifles to go, that we need to ban the bump stocks, and we need to protect our community. Rick, what are we doing?
Does she think that's the heart of crime? Are those items that she just? It's literally the least used. Also, good luck with getting past the commonly owned and commonly used, which was upheld not just in Heller, but also in the Bruin decision as well. Yeah, good luck with that one, meaning no luck at all.
It's not going to ever see the light of day. That does it for us today.
