Here's something good on women's health and longevity. To learn more, go to lifeemd.com slash iHeart. Hey, it's Bobby Bones from the Bobby Bones Show. The comfortable and reliable heydo shoes you love to wear all weekend are now ready for the work week. Meet dudes at work.

So, why do these guys put so much care into their work shoes? Because, hey, dude, they give a shift. Find them online at heydude.com. Welcome to the program. I don't know why everyone's having an existential crisis over it.
Because we've known about this for quite some time. I keep telling everybody, we've known that they've been going this way for quite some time. And now I think the rest of the nation is finally maybe waking up to it.
So the big question. When you're talking about al-Saeed, when you're talking about some of these elections, whatever it is. The big question. is going to be How effective? Are those these smaller wins in these states that you know, typically are pretty left-leaning.
Is that going to be? that win, is that going to set up an uh you know, maybe a trend? for the rest of the country. When the discussion was, oh well. The wind in Michigan, that's in America's heartland.
I did a thing last night. I was looking and trying to see how many different stories. I could pull up that said that, right? Oh, this wind, America's heartland. They really, really, as you know, they really want that whole America's heartland.
Trent, they want to be able to say that. They want that keyword. They want to be able to say and showcase, look, Look at all of these Islamists that are winning in these states. It's showing that it's effective and we're finally making headway. But that's in like I keep that's why I call it little Mogadishu.
It's in that area where you have a crazy diaspora of Islamists. I'm not going to save people from doing, I mean, just straight up Islamists. That's like the culture, the religion, the government, you know, everything. And so And I don't really want to I think it's getting an undue amount of attention. And people are act.
I mean, yes, it shouldn't have even spread that far, but that's been spreading up there for quite some time anyway. I just note how these little narratives are being built. Just note how they're because the way that they're talking about it And Michigan. has been voting pretty reliably blue. for quite some time.
Trump has been one of the only Republicans that has been able to pierce what they call that blue wall. And That blue wall. That's always been that firewall for the Democrat Party. You have the Blue Wall states, right? You have California and you have Oregon and you have Washington and you have all of these states that have been reliably You know, pretty reliably um Democrat.
You have Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois. I mean, pretty much much of the, almost all of the Northeast, even though it's weird, like in places like New Hampshire. You know, you have. A sizable number of people who vote Democrat, but yet that whole area, that whole, because of the way that it's gerrymandered, ends up taking the state fully, entirely Democrat.
So It's This, these blue, the blue wall states, Trump was like one of the only candidates ever to really get in there and be super competitive. And Okay. Democrat, that's one of the reasons why they keep saying, oh, the heartland, oh, Michigan. They're trying to make a show to their Donors That Oh look, we're winning some of this back. We're winning some of this back.
So these states, they're incredibly important. And they really I mean, when you lose a blue when a Democrat loses a blue wall state, that Democrat typically loses the election. Al Gore, right, he didn't take New Hampshire in 2000. John Kerry hadn't won a couple of these states. Joe Biden was actually struggling until Uh you had Clyburn save him.
with South Carolina. I mean, that's all. And Reagan carried it. Reagan, I mean really not since Reagan. Had any Democrat really broken through?
Reagan carried all of those states except for Minnesota in 1984.
So, because I saw this trending, and I was fascinated as to why they were trying to really plant that. in your minds. And that's why. They're doing a couple of things. They're signaling to their donors.
They're also trying to pick away at the Republican morale. And they're trying to make it look like, look, this state where Trump was like pretty competitive. You know, look, it voted for an Islamist. Look at it. It's kind of, you know.
That's what they're looking at. That's what they're looking at. So Oh, it's just primaries. Come on. I know it's just primaries, but think about it though.
When has the DSA ever had a candidate that ever made it that far in a primary, especially in one of these incredibly important states? Never. That's a good point.
So that is significant. But also, when have Democrats themselves not have anyone they can put up to the plate? Because that's exactly what we're seeing here. I don't know how much it's going to count. Right?
Yeah. I mean, I don't. Yeah. And and and Trump made Michigan fall. When he, this was back in 24, he took that step, he took Michigan, and that was a rarity.
So That's they're like, look, Trump was so competitive and he was so victorious in 24, but look what happens now, two years later, and we've got a socialist candidate. They're going to target Mike Rogers. Just saying.
So that's one of the things that I kind of want I I I want you to be aware of how Because I'm watching these narratives be built. I'm watching them get built, and I'm just.
Now a couple of other things, uh Fauci looks like they're gonna hold him in contempt. They pass that referral.
So, the Senate that was led by Rand Paul, or sorry, the Senate committee that was led by Rand Paul, they voted. To hold him in contempt because he wouldn't answer a single question. Wasn't one of the questions that they asked him, and we didn't play all of them. But wasn't one of the questions they were asking him literally like, Can you read the Fifth Amendment? And he was like, I would like them to take my limit privilege.
I can't stand him. That Hoggle from Labyrinth, who at least was helpful. Hoggle was helpful. Feel like it's mean to hoggle, shouldn't make that comparison. Gonna do it anyway.
But The Wall Street Journal reported that they also now have a copy of his iPhone that he was using while he was managing and advising POTUS about the pandemic. I really want to know what's all in there. How much do you want to bet that the man has an entire folder in his photo collection of just like press clippings of himself where he would, you know, he does. I he has a very kind of Sort of psychotic. Aesthetic to him, right?
So, I don't know what all his phone's gonna show, what all it's gonna show, but that's apparently that could be a sideshow because you know, his diaries, they're still pouring through. I've never seen a man keep so many diaries. Dear diary.
So they're voting to hold him in contempt. And you know ultimately If there's going to be any kind of legal penalty, that's going to be something that happens not nationally, that's going to be a state issue.
So I'm really hoping that these AGs get on the ball with this.
So, you know, we'll We'll kind of see with that whether or not They make that happen because it's ultimately going to be them. It's going to come down to these state AGs, and that's one of the reasons why they had that big discussion about whether he was perjuring himself, et cetera, et cetera.
So, but holding him in contempt and considering Like some people were saying that there there could be charges. Brought against him. They're betting on it right now. Polymarket, I think, has a 37% chance that he's going to be charged by Christmas. That doesn't seem Encouraging.
So POTUS has told leakers. Because all of these stories that are coming out about the missile supply, and we talked about that with General Kellogg earlier. POTUS said, We have plenty of missiles, but your supply of freedom is about to dwindle, basically, is what he's telling them. He was saying, No, we're not running out of munitions. And this was something that SecWar also said.
I leaked or leaked this. I linked it to you in your prep chapter and verse over at Substack that came out this morning.
So, POTUS is batting down those leaks because media outlets have been running with this story, another narrative that is being crafted. They've been running with this story that. We're out of all of these munitions, and this is horrible. And so, the United States better not say anything to Iran. And I just find it hysterical that people like Katucker Katarlson have jumped all over it.
And Gal Sharpton, the sentient ward on the backside of Al Sharpton, that popped off and became its own race hustler and began doxing conservatives during Gamergate and married a gay, you know, not even hereditary titled fake lord over in Britain. But I digress. Those people have been really, you know, the Red-Green Alliance, they're rooting for America's downfall, and they've really been pushing this. But the problem is that this is old hat, as we've discussed. And it's even being disputed.
If I was the United States, I would want my enemies to think I've depleted things. Do you honestly expect Secwar to come out and go, guys? Look, I went and I counted them by hand. Here's exactly how many. And by the way, here's where they're stored.
And here's also the fob that you can get just used to bypass security, take them if you want. I I don't want them to let us know how many we have.
So them coming out and going, guys, especially when I've seen this weaponized during the Biden-Harris saga. I just don't put a lot of stock in it.
Now, do I think that we need to constantly make more? Yes. I want to have so many that people, you know, are, you know, we have to make statues out of them or totems out of them, or we have to, I don't know. I just want to be overrun with interceptors and long-range missiles and all kinds of other ordnance.
So POTUS says: quote: The U.S. has massive amounts of munitions. Especially certain types, he says. And additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed.
Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country's history. The other question that no one actually answered is when they're talking about taking ordinance from, like, running out, is this just in certain theaters? Nobody in the press has actually been able to. Identify that or answer that question, and that's important because you have different theaters, different hemispheres, different Storage of munitions, ordnance, et cetera. And I'm just wondering if that's one for one specific area.
Are they talking about in totality? Because nobody who's leaking to the press seems to know enough about it to actually leak the right kind of information that would be the most damning. I love working with the crew at fast-growing trees, especially at this time of year when everything's in full bloom and you can actually, you know, see your yard come to life.

Miss North Carolina had her title removed as Miss USA bosses condemn racism, homophobia, and transphobia.
So Brittany Bolton House, 27, won the contest last month. She was going to compete nationally. but her title was revoked by the event organizers and the runner-up is gonna take her crown in place at the competition.
So apparently they said the decision to revoke her title wasn't made lightly. They did a thorough review of recently surfaced information based on the totality of circumstances, blah, blah, blah. What's that information? Apparently a screenshot from X that shows posts from an account that is believed to have belonged to her referencing the N-word in 2017 and 2019. And they uh I don't know where the other trans stuff or other stuff comes from, but apparently that's.
They said that we don't tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, or anything like that.
So they took they took the title.
So. I don't know. I don't even know what.
So it's not about looks so much anymore? No. I mean, I don't think you should say stupid stuff online. Obviously, and don't play into the left's identity politics, but I just don't know that I trust anything anymore. Honestly, the way that it's, I don't know.
Gene edited bagels. may solve a future option for people that have dog allergies. Beagles? People would be allergic to beagles? I love beagles.
But now they're trying to, that's kind of interesting that they're that this is what they're that's the breed that they're using for that. I just hope that doesn't mean more increased testing on beagles.
So they talk about a guy who sneezed with dogs, and then they he got now he's gonna be able to get a hypoallergenic gene-edited beagle or maybe just take a flippin' Benadryl. Uh Or get another breed. Yeah, or get a different, yeah, or maybe don't have a dog then. I can't, like, I don't really, I'm not a cat person at all. And I'm actually pretty allergic to cats.
I'm super allergic to cats. Cats. Chicken feathers, so I can't do any down feathers and anything like that. And cedar, I'm super allergic to those three things.
So I can't actually be around cats. Like if people have cats, I can't go to their house. If they have cats. No joke. And also, I don't want to go to their house if they have cats.
Just not. It's one of those things that's like convenient, you know. Anyway, let's see. Mountain lions improve California road safety.
Okay, mountain lions. Are they smacking the cars back on the road? I don't know. I'm wondering. California drivers, apparently they hit 100,000 deer each year, but now without the mountain lions, that could even be more.
They're eating all the ground carp. They're eating all the deer.
So that's really what it is. They're just eating deer. Nature's working, and all the people in California are shocked. Like, oh my gosh, look what happens when you don't over-regulate predators and you just let nature take its course. It's crazy.
Puerto Rico begins water rationing in San Juan and other major cities as a crisis deepens. This is a crazy story coming from the Independent. Residents are going to lose running water for up to 48 hours at a time. They're having a rotating rationing schedule. Dang, Juan, I hope your family's not.
Going to be hit hard by this. Good heavens. If you're a parent or grandparent, you already know what's going on. Our kids are being flooded with messages about gender ideology, sexuality, and sexual exploitation from social media, Hollywood, and even their own schools, often without parents knowing.
So that's why I'm grateful for the work of Concerned Women for America. For more than four decades, CWA has been fighting for faith, family, freedom, and parental rights and the protection of our kids.

These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Welcome back to the program Dana Lash with you. I saw this video and I put it in Slack. I think we should have it in Slack, but it shows. This um I believe I put it in slack.
Let me put this. positive I did. It shows this uh couple that ended up This was in Judea and Samaria and Israel. These it's an Israeli couple. accidentally entered Jennin.
this town And or or village rather that is in Judean Samaria. It's in author like Section A. Of Judea and Samaria, or what the West calls. incorrectly, West Bank. But When I was over there, and the reason I am pointing this out, and we can show it without video.
So, these people they accidentally made a wrong turn and went into this village. They had no idea where they were going. And it does get weird because apparently, like at one point, there were certain roads that only these people used, and certain roads that only these people used. And there's a lot of construction that's happening over there.
So, I actually am not surprised that somebody would get. turned around quite easily. And they have those red signs there. But also if you're maybe not paying attention to the red signs. Then you end up going into Section A.
Now, Section A is the area that the quote-unquote Palestinian authority controls both the overall security and the day-to-day stuff there. B, it's Israeli security, and the Palestinian authority controls the day-to-day stuff. And then C is all Israeli control.
So this was in Section A.
Now, the car that went in there, they started, they ended up getting surrounded. They came under a barrage of stones, and people were throwing bricks. And they had to escape. Thankfully, they were uninjured. To a different area.
They had to like run and essentially leave their vehicle behind. And It's kind of crazy. Um to see that. And and again, that was Section A there. And one of the reasons that they knew that the car.
was Israeli is that even in Israel. even in Judea and Samaria and even in near and around Gaza. They have uh different colored license plates.
So, the Israelis have yellow plates, and the quote-unquote Palestinians have white plates.
So, if you look in that video, if you can throw that up again. If you look in the video, all the cars have white plates, and then you see the one white car that has a yellow plate. And that's how everybody knew, oh, that's an Israeli car. because it has a yellow plate and all the other ones were white. And the white ones again are Palestinian, and the yellow ones are Israeli.
So that's how they knew immediately.
So they began, they started like look walking up to the car. There's other video that's a little more graphic, but they like blocked them in. People with motorcycles surrounded them, and it got a little crazy. And that's just if you accidentally go in there. It's not like they even went in there and were trying to start trouble or anything.
It was just this couple that mistakenly entered Jenin and they came under this barrage of stones and brick. And the reason I bring that up is because. You're supposed to believe that. there exists some sort of moderate contingency. And When I was over there, it was because we talked to everybody.
There was one meeting that we had with an Israeli Muslim in Nazareth. We were in Nazareth, which is a Muslim-majority town. There's very few Christians there. And I know. And we met.
At uh In Nazareth with this Israeli Muslim activist. And I would say by the quote-unquote Palestinian, and by the way, I don't like using that word because, again, it's a made-up term. And if you want to know the origin, we've talked about it a million times before on the show. It was literally a term that was made up by Hadrian after the Second Judean uprising, and it was done to spite. The Jews.
By naming the area after one of their greatest enemies that hadn't been seen in the area for 200 years, and they weren't even from that area. They were literally seafaring people, the Philistines from Crete.
So that's where that name came from, as a way to like narratively divorce them from the land.
So, anyway, this guy that we met with, this Israeli Muslim activist, he would be by quote-unquote Palestinian standards a moderate. Right. Um he didn't really believe in Shree. There were a couple of you know, because I asked him a couple of questions. And I didn't like his answer on some of them, especially where it concerned like IDF and kids and you know, Judean Samaria and Gaza.
And he was very hesitant to give an answer on that. I immediately thought, Yep, I don't trust you. I'm sorry, but I did. That was my first thought. I'm being very honest about this.
But even he was saying, he was asked about Section A. I think it was Jason Ransk, who I was with, asked him about section A, and he was like, Yeah, you shouldn't go in there. even if you're an American Christian. Even if you're you shouldn't it's definitely if you're not if you're if you're definitely not if you're Israeli But if you're a Christian, you should not go. You should not go to these areas.
He told us that. He wasn't the only Israeli Muslim that told us that. Bedouins were telling us that, Israeli Bedouins.
So We didn't go into Section A because I just didn't want to get stoned to death. And we didn't go into Gaza. We were at the Gazan border. We didn't go to Gaza because I didn't want to get raped to death, like what happened with the Nova Festival.
So I bring this up because how do you live in coexistence with that? That's crazy. And the roads, like I said, they're very confusing. They are confusing because there's so much construction and there's certain rules for certain pop I mean, there's a lot that you have to contend with just to keep a status quo. Right, like Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The status quo, I don't know if you know this about the church. It is down to who can even like Wash what step? Not even kidding you. They have this like stripped. decree that regulates Ownership and maintenance and worship and all of that that go amongst not just the six denominations but also.
Like the people who close I think the people who close it are Muslims. And they've been doing it for like oh fifteen hundred years. It's the same family. It's like a very they literally they're called the key holders. It's two local Muslim families uh that open and close the big doors every day so that Not be the, you know, why the reason they do it?
So that they don't want to have apparently like enter. Christian denominational fights over who does what. Yeah. There was there's this ladder. That's outside of the window of Church of the Holy Sepulchre that plays into the status quo of it.
And that used to be apparently there were a couple of priests up there that would like to get outside and smoke a cigarette. on this little tiny little almost like a false balcony, but it's like a little balcony above the main entrance. And there's this wooden ladder up there. And they had it because a while ago, people were doing like tuck pointing or something, and then they used it to get out there and smoke. And then that ended up having to stay out there for forever because a status quo fell over one time in a storm, a rare storm.
And everybody freaked out, and they were trying to figure out who's gonna put it back up. They've actually had to replace it a couple of times. It must be there. I mean, it is crazy. The status quo over how people fight over everything.
It's just one of the wildest things I think I've ever seen. But that's the status quo that. concerns the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is an amazing thing to go inside. It is truly Just unbelievable. Uh I mean there's literally a building within a building and there's all I mean it's w it's wild.
But I play that video. I put that video up to show you just how do you have people that How do you live side by side with that? How do you deal with that? I hope. And I have a column that's out this week in the Washington Times.
I hope the administration just gets out of their way. Just stays out of their way. It doesn't tell them what to do over there. There are a lot of people in the West who've never. I think you really need to go.
First off, you need to go for the biblical history alone. Which is amazing. but also to really understand a lot of the stuff that's happening in the news. And a lot of the issues that the administration is kind of watching and figuring out how it's going to step, depending on how Israel deals with this or that. I think it's important to have that context.
There's a lot over there that. Is I mean it's like you're drinking from a fire hose, the amount of history and then and then all all the other things that you're just merely observing day to day. I mean, it's stunning. Like when we were in Jaffa, and I was drinking my little, you know, lemonade slushy, and I'm. There's a monastery and a mosque right next to each other.
Everybody seemed pretty chill. Everybody seemed pretty chill. There's definitely a difference between Israeli Arabs and quote-unquote Palestinians. Way, way different. Big difference.
So I thought that video was very Um insightful. And not like insightine, but like insight.
So. Just crazy stuff. We were talking a little bit about the yesterday, the income tax. situation. in Missouri.
and that amendment that failed. And I was talking to some of my family about it. They were sad about it too. They also. They were discussing the issue of the wording because when you look at the wording of the proposal.
of this. Proposal to change the amendment and get rid. Actually, it was a gradual phase-out of the income tax. They made sure to mention that, oh, the tax revenue is 63%. Of the state's general revenue in fiscal year, what did they say, fiscal year 25?
Oh, they made sure. They made sure to try to scare everybody half to death with that language. And I was looking at the uh way that it was worded on the ballot.
So the ballot language, it was: shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to require legislative phase out of the individual state income tax based on revenue growth and authorize the expansion of sales and use taxes, curtail the constitutional limits on taxing goods and services, and require local tax rate cuts without reducing school funding if local sales tax revenue increases. The proposal has no direct impact on state or local tax revenue, blah, blah, blah. And the fair ballot language was the expansion of sales and use taxes. Everybody made sure to be like, oh, 63%. People see, oh, wait, entitlements are this?
This is how much entitlements are funded by, oh, we can't vote that. I mean, it immediately. is is authored in a way. That Is going to, if you're not deep diving into it and reading between the lines, you're going to be, you're going to question, wait a minute. Is that really what we want to do?
That's the problem that Republicans grapple with. I mean, they could easily reduce or eliminate income tax across the nation. They would have to cut spending and cut entitlements, and nobody wants to do that. I can't tell you how many Republican elected officials and candidates to whom I've spoken where I say, Do you know how easy you could just make this case? And they say, Well, you know, we're not going to do that.
We're not going to go out there and tell people we're going to cut their entitlements. That's just a losing proposition. And just keep in mind that these elected leaders are merely just reflections of the people that send them to DC. But I I think Voters Trusting their state legislature is a very difficult thing. Because after COVID, I don't think that there is a limitation on public cynicism.
Right? and for good measure. I don't think anybody, no jury would, would. discuss it. One of my friends said there was no organic support for the amendment.
and there was a lot spent to pass it. And I mean, because I couldn't believe the difference, 80 to like 16 or something, 83 to 16, something insane like that. I have never seen that much of a difference on any amendment ever. And on something that has to do with income tax, that's the other thing. I'm like, how, what is wrong with, and I know people had questions on it.
As a conservative, my immediate default is: yes, I want no income taxes. Yes, I want to, because my understanding of it, and I talked with a lawyer friend of mine back in Missouri, is that. You know, technically, because people were worried about where they were going to get the other taxation from, where they're going to get the other methods of taxes, but. subsequent tax proposals and increases still Have to navigate through and be passed by the legislature. And then people that which then created the flaw of Well, where do you get the number that the income tax brings in?
And they said, well, we're going to expand sales tax to reach services. that have never been taxed previously. And then we'll raise that rate slightly.
So it's going to expand the scope of things that are going to be taxed in terms of sales tax. And then that percentage is going to be slightly increased, which I don't think that there was. I don't think that they provided specificity on what that number would have been. And it was a five-year phase-out. And they were going to phase it out as it was essentially being written and implemented.
So That's That's how it was. And Essentially That's how it was structured.
So it's I think there was some fear-mongering about cuts to public services for sure. We can talk more about this in the next hour. I also think that man Where was Republican messaging, though, on some of this? It's very interesting. Because I follow all of these issues, and I actually was pretty certain that this would pass.
I got that one wrong. I was pretty certain this would pass because I'm like, people are going to read between the lines and surely they're going to know that they can be able to, they're going to peddle, like pepper their legislators with questions on this stuff.
So, I don't know. There's a lot, like, what?

You're gonna get beaten to death. That's gonna happen.
So now they say, we had two calm hurricane seasons in a row, apparently. I don't like that. Does anybody else feel really weirded out? Because it feels like there's a giant hand slap coming. I don't like it.
I don't like it. I don't want to talk about the Perez Hilton thing, not to be confused with Perez Hilton. He's this like gossip blogger. And he ended up live streaming himself on TikTok, holed up in his Miami apartment. apparently having a complete and total mental breakdown where he was like superficially cutting himself with knives.
Buck naked, and it's disgusting. And oh man, apparently his kids that he had gotten are not there in the apartment, but good heavens. But that guy needs, I hope he gets help. Let's see. We also have a video showing a bison chasing a child at a Yellowstone boardwalk.
These bison seem super sassy this season.
So the kid was on. The boardwalk. Footage was captured by another park patron, and they shared it with a news agency. It shows one woman safely walking past the bison, moving near a boardwalk, several children, then began walking towards said animal. According to the witnesses, and then one kid broke into a run, and the bison gave chase for several seconds, but that kid was able to get to safety.
I mean, I would just tell my kids, you know, and they said he's not aggressive. He was not having problems. You know, they were talking about the bison that was there. I mean, and he didn't pursue the kid anymore, but it was sort of like he did it just to kind of warn the kid off. But have your kids not charge wildlife?
At giant national parks, that would be super great if we could all tell kids, your kids particularly, otherwise, some other parents are going to tell your kids to not have your kids play chicken with the bison at Yellowstone because we don't want anyone else yeeted into the air above the pines.
