Welcome to the program. Can I just ask a question? Who has a favorite drag queen? I didn't even know that they had favorite drag queens. I didn't even know that there was I mean, I didn't How many drag shows must one go to to be very, very familiar with drag queens?

I'm talking about James Tallarico. You know, Mr. I Love Jesus and all that, who really doesn't? This is cut 12. Listen.

Mr. Tyler Eco, so nice to meet you.

Sorry, Brooklyn Hill. I was there when you defended the drags. When was your favorite drag queen in Texas? Oh my gosh, probably Alyssa Edwards. Alyssa Edwards, I love Michael Mays.

Thank you so much. Thank you. I don't even know who these people are. Are we on the out because we don't know? Yes.

So I have to live with that. Are you going to be all right with living with that? I think so. You think so? How do you know?

Like, I'm sorry, I can't get over this. I saw this sound, I saw this last night, and I can't get over it. How in the hell do you know? Wait, what's your favorite drag queen? Does he spend a lot of time in at drag sh drag shows?

I've I'm made of questions right now. Who also who thought to ask him that like what if he didn't know was that gonna be a gotcha? If they ask James Tallerica, Well, who's your favorite drag queen? And he's like, I just don't know. I mean, were they going to drag him for it?

I'm really curious. I'm made of questions right now.

So Tallarico says his favorite drag queen, he's got one.

Now this, I just look. This guy is trying so ho hard to attract the Normies. But I don't think that it's going over successfully, as successfully as he wanted to. Because at least, thankfully, Some Texans and people who came from California to Texas Don't quite trust it yet. They don't quite trust him, and with good reason.

With good reason. I feel like the Inauthenticity is really starting to shine through with Tallarico and his campaigning. But I'm just trying to wrap my mind around how in the world that's like a thing.

So if he didn't know, would that have Would that have cost him support? And the fact that he does know, is that going to cost him support? I mean, it's really weird. I've just never seen anybody just think, yeah, well, my favorite dry queen is. You have to be pretty, I think, embedded in that culture.

in order to be able to answer. the way that he did, right? And I think that that kind of tells you all of his talk about being a normie. He's not really a normie. I just don't know.

I just don't know. I mean, for Crying Out Loud, most people struggle naming their maybe one of their favorite athletes. Who's your favorite director? It's just weird. What a weird question to ask.

As though that's some sort of metric in society.

Now We'll come back to this. Mitch McConnell was seen. Leaving his residence yesterday.

So I first saw on X. All of this hubbub. about Mitch McConnell. Maybe something's happening at his house. They had aides there and police and everybody was swarming.

And then he was Well, I don't want to say remove rolled. out of his home in a wheelchair. And my first thought was, do they not have a back door? That was my first thought. Then my second thought was: well, maybe he wanted to make a show of this for the public.

And hey guys, I'm alive. But does that really help? Because he's in a wheelchair and he's having trouble like even moving his arms. And I'm just. I don't know if that It's not a flex.

I think he was trying to assure people that he was around or trying to quell questions, but I don't think it did any of that. I think it now there's great, there's more questions. Like he's barely able to get around. And I'm not going to jump on the train. I've been super critical, probably more so than any other conservative, definitely any other broadcaster on air.

And I'll say that with full snottiness. I have been more critical and called balls and strikes with Mitch McConnell than any single one of my contemporaries, bar none. That being said. I'm not going to jump on this like pile on. Because I mean, we have our Supreme Court and we have half the judiciary.

to the reason we have it is because of Mitch McConnell. Remember during the first part of Trump's term, first term, actually, second part of Trump's first term, excuse me. I had said at the time that he's got to move towards a judicial agenda, meaning. because he ended up losing power in Congress. He needed to switch.

And He needed he he ended up losing Uh uh actually a lot of seats in Congress. And he needed. After midterms, his first term, so that was in 2018, he needed to sort of shift. to a Judicial footing. And he needed Mitch McConnell to be able.

To help him do that. And McConnell is probably, I mean, for all of the discussions about him, he's a very smart parliamentarian. And He was able to not only, I know everybody knows Kavanaugh, everybody knows, you know, all of these other justices that are on the Supreme Court that came up through Trump's term, but what people don't realize is that there were appellate judges, there are judges at lower levels of the judiciary that. Trump has to appoint, McConnell has to shepherd through. There, and it's very, very tricky.

They were able to do it, and I really do think one of the reasons why. we're seeing, whether it's Roe v. Wade, whether it's a lot of these congressional battle or sorry, legislative legal or legal battles with men and women, sports, et cetera, is because of the judiciary that McConnell really did help shape. I mean, I think there is something to that. And there is, absolutely.

And he deserves a lot of credit for it. But that said You know, a lot of people, myself included, were very un unhappy after gang of eight, etc. But I think that he's really Assisted, I mean, really helped his reputation. And I think he he saved Republicans with the judiciary the second half of Trump's term.

So The I know, it's kind of like a a Love-hate kind of relationship, not hate, but love-l-dislike kind of relationship, right? I mean In 2018, remember, Trump lost Congress. I think that I can't remember the number of seats that Democrats did. They needed 23 to flip the chamber, and they went over that. I remember that.

They went far over that. And we remained we retained control of the Senate.

So the Senate had the power. Trump nominates, the Senate handles all of the hearings, and that's how you were able to get a lot of these justices, a lot of these judges through, not just at SCODUS, but also lower levels. That's significant. That's incredibly huge. And a lot of the decisions, a lot of the good decisions that have been made have been a direct result of that.

So I give Mitch McConnell credit. That said, you can't sit here and hide in your room and hide in your house. and not tell the people what's happening. We all know something's going on. We saw how well this didn't work with Joe Biden.

It does not work to do this to the American people. Keeping people in the dark, good heavens, if anybody realizes this yet, particularly within the establishment, keeping people in the dark only Makes room for conspiracy theories and conjecture. You're inviting at this point. You're absolutely inviting it at this point.

So This is not good. It's not a good look for him to be silent about it for so long. They just need to come out and say: look, the senator either had a stroke or an accident or something. But trying to cover things up just never works well. We have a lot.

Hi, I'm Andy Richter. I might not have won the Mirror Ball last season. That was so true. And I did win the best gig ever. Hosting the Dancing with the Stars official podcast.

Woo! Get ready for all the inside scoop from the cast.

All right, well, let's get to work. Behind-the-scenes secrets, and more from every episode. That was smoldering! It's gonna be iconic. Oh, my.

Dreams are coming true. Dancing with the Stars official podcast. New episodes every Thursday on Disney Plus and Hulu and wherever you get your podcasts. Uh Some days, it's the little things you look forward to most. And with Pepperidge Farm's thoughtfully crafted cookies, there's always something worth savoring.

Maybe it's a milano made with premium chocolate between two delicate biscuits, a sausolito baked with rich milk chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts, or the simple buttery goodness of a chessman.

So pour the coffee, find a comfy chair, and take a moment to treat yourself to a cookie. Or two. Pepperidge Farm. Have a little taste. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. A Pennsylvania man was charged with planning an ISIS-inspired terror attack. The guy was taken into custody as he was apparently preparing for a mass casualty incident that they were saying that could have, this is coming from the Department of Justice, that they were saying could have taken many lives. He apparently, the only thing though, is they act like they said that he had 190 rounds of ammunition. I'm sorry, but that's not a lot.

That's literally not a lot. I know that people who have no idea about guns think that that's like an asinine or an astronomical amount. It really isn't. I mean, you'll go through like triple that. Just, you know, training at the range.

That's it.

So it's kind of stupid. But they said that this guy apparently had plans to carry out a mass casualty incident and that the DOJ announced the capture of the suspect. He's accused of planning this ISIS-style inspired attack. In Pennsylvania. They announced that this morning.

Of course, Waymo is going to bring autonomous ride-hailing to Vegas.

Now, I'm curious as to how this is going to work. And the reason I say that is because Vegas is notorious, they have their cab unions, right?

So they Like if you're doing rideshare, you have to go to like a weird part of a hotel or somewhere to even get On to get a right share.

So I don't know how the Waymo is going to work because they change the way that they go in all the time. Depending, I mean, Kane and I know you know this. Tell the fuck. I mean, they they you have to go like you have to go to a separate part of the hotel outside, and then these ride shares, right? You know, whatever one you're you're hailing is going to be coming to you.

I imagine that's how Waymo is going to do it: where you get on the app and you order a car and it comes to you in those areas. But what happens when they change the way that they go in? Like, sometimes, like, for instance, like MGM or somebody, they have a big event. And they'll change the way the ride shares come in. What happened?

I'm like, are Waymo's going to be able to. They're going to be running people over. And then it's not like you're someone who is in security is going to be. That's another thing. Like, what happens if a Waymo pulls up?

I'm just thinking that's prime time to do something. You got a bottleneck right there. You have a Waymo that goes in there. What's going to happen if security approaches and is like, you need to move the car? There's not going to be anybody in there driving it.

I just, I don't know. I think that they're novelties, but I don't think that they're practical in all of these situations, really. Apparently, Poot Booty Jew says that, of course, America is ready for a gay president. At the president? No, like I guess I don't understand.

I'm gonna just God help me. God help me right now.

Okay. I really, this is a head. This is so stupid. This is why, honestly, I want a giant asteroid. I'm not joking.

Like, I want to go out in a blaze of glory asteroid hitting the rock. Because we deserve it. This is stupid. I mean, can't we? I don't know.

I mean, I would just imagine that you would say America's ready for a completely competent. A candidate from the Democrat Party who hasn't produced one in, I don't know, 30 years. But instead, he's like, no, America's ready for someone who chooses to have sex with dudes. A dude who has sex with dudes. That's what America is ready for, as though it's some kind of qualification.

Oh, look, Mr. Vladimir Putin, here comes this negotiator.

Now, I hear he has sex with dudes.

So, that's like really, you know, he's really gonna best you in this match of wits here. You see what I mean? It's stupid. Identity politics are retarded. Planet Mercury appears to have shrunken drastically, like a balloon left out in the cold.

You know why? It's probably Matt. Oh, wait, no, that's Pluto. Pluto is the one that gets left behind. But Mercury, they say it looks like it's shrinking.

We have a lot more on the way. We've got Florida Man coming up as we move. Our partners that help bring you the program. It's the folks that are over at Ghost bed, which I sleep on a ghost bed every single night. I love my ghost bed.

And look, they make these, these are like pieces of health equipment. is what really that's what the ghost bed is it's a piece of health equipment That's the ghost bed. And with ghost bed too. You it's made with cooling tuck that's included in the mattress. Everybody else, this is.

It's like some kind of Markup. It's always more expensive to ask for the cooling tech. And Ghostbed has it in their mattresses. They include it in their mattresses so that you're not overheating at night. It's just built differently.

You can tell that it's made better right out of the gate. The materials, the construction, the fact that, you know, basic things that should be a part of your mattress that you're not being nickel and dimed for by Ghostbed. And also with Ghostbed, too. Uh they give you 101 nights to try it in your home. Risk-free, and you're going to see.

I love this mattress. I can't, I was trying to think how many months I've been sleeping on it. I think it's over like four months now that I've had my ghost bed, but I love it. You're going to notice the difference right away: less tension, better temperature. You're not waking up stiff and sore.

Because if you are, if you're having those issues, folks, that's your mattress. I'm just here to tell you. Ghostbed will help with these exact issues. And with the 101-night sleep trial, try it at home because that's a real test of how a mattress works.

That was it. And I did win the best gig ever, hosting the Dancing with the Stars official podcast. Woo! Get ready for all the inside scoop from the cast.

Alright, well let's get to work. Behind the scenes secrets and more from every episode. That was smoldering. It's gonna be iconic. My dreams are coming true.

Dancing with the Stars official podcast. New episodes every Thursday on Disney Plus and Hulu and wherever you get your podcasts. Mm-hmm.

Some days, it's the little things you look forward to most. And with Pepperidge Farm's thoughtfully crafted cookies, there's always something worth savoring. Maybe it's a milano made with premium chocolate between two delicate biscuits. A sausolito baked with rich milk chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts, or the simple buttery goodness of a chessman.

So pour the coffee, find a comfy chair, and take a moment to treat yourself to a cookie. Or two. Pepperidge Farm. Have a little taste. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you.

We were talking on break about. Uh Congress. and how they're back for a brief. Um one week session right now. But then they're they're home.

And then they only go back. For What, a couple of weeks, November, end of November, going into December? And then That's it?

So here's the thing that really gets me. After November, The midterms are over. You would think that They would be In Session. During midterm, showing the people what they're doing. Just saying, welcome back to the show.

If you missed anything previous two hours, you can go download the podcast. There's a great piece for subscribers over at chapter and verse. My sub stack, you should definitely go check it out. It's up there now. And then we have some more fun stuff coming up for you to dive into.

I had to talk about this because Kane and I were discussing: well, what are they going to do? Because we get the SAVAC, you get all this other stuff. If you have voters that are going to the polls. And they feel as though Members of Congress aren't doing enough. How is that?

Going to impact their vote, knowing that they're, I mean, they're, they're all, at the end of this week, they're all back. They're not going to be in session anymore at the end of this week. And then they're here till November. They're not going to be back in Congress until November. I'm just wondering how that is going to impact.

People's votes. Kana's typing. Share it with the class. What are you typing? How is the House not in session?

I mean, pending Johnson calling them back. I don't know if he's going to be doing anything like that, but. Until November? What the? What?

We just had an entire month of August where they were out. What's what? I know. I know. I think the Senate They have I think they're They have a three week.

stretch.

So we have one week and I think they have a three week stretch. But Yeah, I don't know how it's going to work. Uh Uh, yeah, I don't I don't I don't know. I don't know how that's gonna work out. I really don't.

I just I think it's going to be difficult. For voters. I mean, there's so much that's happening right now, and especially, and I just want to touch on some of these headlines, especially. if we start having higher energy prices. And that's because we were talking about how Costco.

First off, I gotta, I hate bad reporting. Yeah, well, yeah, I. I know. But with the Situation with Iran, so just a couple of things. They're saying, oh, there's a munition we keep hearing about munition shortfalls.

By the way, I've been talking about the munitions issue since Biden was in office because it's been an issue since then. Just FYI. But you have the Houthis. that have attacked now Saudi Arabia. And Iran is now through the Houthis threatening a huge pipeline.

And an oil facility because the Houthis have decided to escalate their attacks on Saudi Arabia. And I'm waiting for the woke-right Tucker Carlsons who think that Algebra is Jewish to try to figure out some way to blame this on Israel. you The Houthis are believed to be, well, they've kind of claimed it already, behind the attack on what they call the East-West pipeline. They say it's an easy target for them. It's the Panama Canal of Global Energy Markets.

Ab Cake. and that they have The Bab Alamendeb Strait that's going to fall under Houthi control now, and they're threatening the pipeline. And 745 mile long pipeline. world's largest Oil. Processing plants.

So, this is now going to be affecting. how people move as it pertains to energy. Prices. I mean, it's large. fixed infrastructure.

Uh And they violated the ceasefires, they always do, these groups. But they are apparently, I mean, they're look at it, they're an intermediary, they're a little militia arm for Iran. That's what it is. And they said that they're going to shut down this Bab el-Mandeb Strait. And they have also been sending in fighters into port cities.

to try to take control of that straight. And now This, they're really targeting Saudi Arabia with everything now. And so we're gonna see. How that Falls and what that does because this is the oil supply. We're looking at our, you know, they're threatening our oil supply.

Not our oil supply, the world's oil supply, which is going to affect all of our energy prices.

So that's why. globally the price on crude is where it is right now. And they're saying it's going to escalate because the risk is escalating that, that's going to increase. And so Market Watch had a story. It said the oil market is sending an increasingly loud warning about gas prices at the pump.

Uh the story says that This is specifically because the tension that they're seeing. And it's taking longer to get it delivered.

So there's now we have a warning sign that the markets may not exactly be able to keep up with demand, which we could actually fill, and we have been. As long, look, we can step up and do this just as easily as. They can. And so I mean, we I don't know by how much, but I'm uh pulling up a story here. Bear with me.

on my giant four and a half foot wide screen. But it is, it's going to affect, like I said, it's affecting overall prices.

So, this is not, that does not bode well for. Midterms. That's also going to be rough for midterms, is having high gas prices like this.

So we'll wait and see.

Sorry, opening this thing up. I hate some of these things that they make you do just to like archive a story because I'm not going to pay for the paywall. This attack All the other oil facilities, easy targets. Saudi Arabia has been asking the United States for some assistance on this, and I think the United States has been providing assistance on this. In the meantime, you have this story with how does this affect you?

You got this story with with uh Costco, right?

So God, this story makes me mad. They're rationing Kirkland motor oil, raising the price to $57.99. It's their full synthetic motor oil. This is being used as an example. I've already seen it tweeted out like a million times already.

And people are saying, oh my gosh, look, this is how bad it is. It's because of what the United States is doing and the way that they're talking about it. And these are all like the Tucker Carlson acolytes. They're arguing. Let me type this in here.

They're arguing that this is just more of what Trump's foreign policy, and this is what's happening, and this is the effect. But what the Costco story doesn't say, and what I'm really aggravated about, is that. They're like, oh, well, later on in the story, they're like, oh, well, regulatory and licensing costs have added a separate layer of expense. What? They said that, well, it displays The Dexos 1 Gen 3 certification, that's GM's proprietary specification, and earning that mark is not free.

And manufacturers have to put their formulations through GM's independent testing protocol and obtain a license from the automaker. This is coming from Finance and MarketWatch. Paying separately for each product and for each union sold. And then there's the industry API SP category that took effect around 2020. And you have several additional laboratory tests with no oh my gosh, Kane.

So they're rationing it because of some BS regulation? But they want you to believe that it's Trump's irresponsible attack on Iran. This is so dumb. It's literally big government. It's big government that's pushing us.

It's not Trump. But Honestly, the people like Tucker and that want you to believe that it is Trump. They want you to believe that it is Trump and it is Iran. But look, you would you were going to have this issue regardless because the Houthis in Saudi Arabia the Houthis are just mad this is again about who has power in the region. This was going to happen to some extent already.

Alright, a couple of other stories. This is crazy.

So, I know you guys have heard at this point, and I've retweeted it. Let me look at my big long list of a thousand cuts here. This issue of a Parent. That And I don't actually know if we have that particular one. But There's the story of uh And it's happening right now.

of a couple that got referred to, parents that got referred to. Like division their division of family services because they wouldn't allow The Transine. or affirm the pronouns of their child. I'm sure you guys have seen the story. This is a crazy Thing.

This is a crazy concept to think about. And Daily Wire has like this ongoing series. It's pretty Still I mean, it's still happening at an egg at an egregious Pace. There's one story that looks at Oregon, Oregon Department of Human Services. They took a teen a year ago and into protective custody because they were investigating, I'm reading the story, whether or not her mother was causing said teen a quote mental injury because she would not affirm.

her gender identity. And there's a story in Massachusetts where something else similar. happened. And I you have these states that think. That These children that you have, that we raise, are theirs and not Yours.

There are a handful of these stories. And it all starts with, well, they didn't affirm. They didn't affirm The gender identity, so DFS was called in. Oh my gosh. There's a Massachusetts, let me pull this story up.

This ma th what this one latest story is out of Massachusetts. There's one from Oregon, there's one from Illinois, there, oh my gosh, there's quite a bit. Quite a bit of them. That's wild to me. Absolutely insane.

This one family They said that the state took custody. Of their teenage daughter, and they're a Catholic, it's a Catholic family. This just happened this week. Their court hearing is set for October 29th. The parents said that a school counselor socially transitioned their daughter without her knowing?

And then, without telling the parents what was happening this entire time, they had no idea their daughter was going to school and being brainwashed. And I think this is grooming, by the way. This school counselor groomed this child. I think this school counselor is a child predator. If you have, it does not, this is crazy.

This counselor groomed this daughter, this young woman, this teenage girl, into. prete thinking that she's trans. And then when the family found out and they were like, Wait, what? The counselor reported them and then the state took guardianship of the teenager. They rest they had put in a restraining order that disallows the teen's parents or even her brother from contacting her.

Now The family's fighting the case because the judge has only temporarily blocked the state from administering high-dose testosterone. This all happened within a year. They're going to jack her up with hormones. And the family's doing s she's been kidnapped by the state. We're going to talk more about this story coming up.

There are A lot of these stories in the United States. It sounds like UK or Canada. We have a lot. Stick with us. Relief Factor is a way to get relief from everyday aches and pains driven by inflammation.

They want me to tell you about a testimonial they received from a man named Pastor Bill. Pastor Bill wrote Relief Factor and said that he had strained his back around Christmas of 2025 and he was in tremendous pain.

It's time for Florida Man.

Alright, so hang on, I gotta find my window. It lost everything. I don't know where it's at. Ah, and it was me. All right, so first up.

No, I got one. I got one for you.

So, this story. Man, this guy's Margate, Florida. I had to look this up and make sure this is a real story. A knife-wielding man threatened to kill Denny's customers and rape the manager. Market Police Department.

They arrested they arrested Robert Roy Hinyon. Just the other day, following a chaotic scene, Uh And apparently, he was threatening customers and just generally trying to fight with everyone. He got tasered. He was ordered to get to the ground. He was placed in handcuffs.

This is according to the probable cause affidavit. They said that he entered the restaurant. He entered a restaurant, began, in this Denny's, and began pacing aggressively near a table where five people were eating. Then the affidavit says that he was agitated, talking to himself, pulled out a knife, raised it, pointed it towards the group, saying, I'm going to kill you all. When the manager tried to intervene, he's like, I'm going to rape you to death.

Oh my gosh, this guy was absolutely arrested and taken to Broward Maine Jail. $10,000 bond.

So that's a pretty serious. That's pretty dang serious right there. Let's see. This is super so creepy. Honestly, I'd do you how many of you, when you go and you check into a hotel, How how many of you also look under the bed?

I don't. You don't look under the bed? No. It's like solid. You can't, there's nothing there.

Well, if you sometimes you can't, sometimes it's. I'm just saying. And here's why you should do this.

So a Florida man was arrested. For burglary, but he was caught hiding under the couple's bed while they slept in the hotel. He was underneath the bed while they were sleeping. Oh my gosh, how do you not know? I would know, I would know something is up.

I would know. Wouldn't you know? You'd have a gut feeling. You're like, I don't think we're alone.

So imagine you're going to sleep and then there's a man under your bed. Apparently, that happened. They had to call police. Apparently, and this was TMZ, it was the Provident Doral. In Miami.

And this couple, they were going to take a nap, they closed the blinds. To the sliding glass door. Oh, no, they were going to bed, not a nap. They closed the blinds, everything was secured. And then at 4 a.m., the woman felt movement in close proximity to the bed, but she went back to sleep.

She felt it again, and it didn't seem like it was coming from her husband, who was sleeping next to her, but rather maybe from underneath the bed. She didn't check it out yet. She finally peered under the bed an hour later. And because she thought, well, maybe, you know, when I got up to get water or something, I cooked something under the bed. And that's when she saw the guy under her bed.

His name is Richel Calaver. Ritual? That's a new one. He dashed out of the room and they contacted, or the couple dashed out of the room, they contacted police. Cal Vair was promptly arrested for burglary and resisting without violence.

He had hopped the fence, slipped, and got into the room through the sliding door, and concealed himself under the bed while they slept through the night. Wow.

Now, he was a previous guest at the hotel and was told by the staff not to return, but he allegedly returned two days later. Wow.

Would If there was a possibility that there was an opening under the bed, I'm going to look. You know what I mean? I'm looking. That's just wild to me. Just wild.

So, oh my gosh, this is. Thank you. A Florida DUI suspect dropped an infant and a toddler in Gator-infested swamp water while running from the police. A Florida dad was running from the cops and he stumbled through a swamp with his baby and toddler and dropped them repeatedly into the water. I want to beat this guy up so bad.

Isaac Kinsey crashed his car, blew through a road closure, and into a construction area. He ran off, had his kids with him, a two-year-old and a 10-month-old. And there's video of him going through the marsh. And falling multiple times, dropping the kids like completely in standing water. And then he left the two-year-old.

Just left the two-year-old behind in the swamp. And held onto the infant and kept going. Oh my gosh. And then he kept falling again and again. They finally got the children, got them out of safety, got them to safety.

Both were taken to the hospital for treatment. This guy, obviously. He admitted that he was drinking. And they said he also had a suspended license. They took him to custody.

Wow.

And apparently, it is a place where. Like it is known for Gators to be pretty active in that area.

So, by the grace of God, these kids did not become Gator snacks. But I can't. Oh my gosh, you guys, this is way too much. All right, so let's see. The ooh, a Florida man files a lawsuit against an airboat company after a Gator bit him in the face.

Maybe you shouldn't have gotten that close. I'm just saying. A Brower County man said that he was bitten in the face by an alligator while attending the alligator encounter. Uh they said that he was handed to the plaintiff and uh uh they didn't super blah blah blah. I he's once fifty thousand dollars.

I think that's kind of dumb. Why did you handle a Gator? As we move, the folks who make the program possible is our friends at Pre-Born. Pre-Born is a great organization that stands in the gap and they are there to assist women who are facing unplanned pregnancies because those women have poison whispered in their ears by society telling them they're not strong enough to raise a child and really like pushing them towards the abortion industry.

Yeah, it's a lot of Democrats. 31 flavors. You're not even the only Californian. No, right. You got Rocana, Kamala.

Yeah, I don't know if she runs, but we'll see. I know she's called around. Yeah. But I wouldn't run if she ran. We're supposed to believe she's running.

If she runs, you will not. Of course not. Why would I? Jake Tapper went out to the city. I wouldn't do that to her.

I wouldn't do it to me. Why would I do that to you? I wouldn't waste everyone's time. Who needs that? What do you mean?

That doesn't even make sense to me. I just, I wouldn't, why I no, I wouldn't. First of all, electorally, it's a gift from God for everybody else. They enjoy the hell out of it. Mutual assured destruction.

It services no greater good. I mean, you do whatever you want. I don't care. But my counter-argument would be like, you know, she had a shot. Yeah.

And you've never run and she's run twice. Yeah. Uh that I mean that would be the That'd be the approach to the campaign, certainly. That would be the case you'd make. Pretty good one, actually.

You know, that's objectively true. I just, but I know what that means. I know. Her base is supporters. I know her friends.

He looks like he's got a ponytail sticking out of the back of his hat.

Okay, so Gavin Newsome and Jake Tapper want you to believe that they fly fish regularly. And they're standing there, and I don't know. All my friends who fly fish are going to know whether or not they're casting well.

Someone's like, who casts like that? That's what's so I don't know enough about fly fishing to judge it, but I do, I can say that it looks like that's a brand new shirt that Tapper put on. And also, Why does Gavin Newsom constantly wear deep Vs? Have you noticed Deep V t shirt? He he leaves his shirt unbuttoned.

It's just weird. Right. I find that weird. It's like I just don't At a certain age, I mean the dudes Like what, late fifties? I'm not trying to be mean, but I just don't Think that it does what he thinks it does, right?

Is it weird? Am I being picky, guys? Kane, am I being picky? It's weird. Right?

You're not going to go out there with a deep V and know like. Under ruse underneath it. I don't know. Just weird. But they're standing there, but he says he's not gonna run because, you know, if Kamala runs, that's him, like, feigning fealty.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. 10-year treasury yield hits 5%, critical threshold for the U.S. economy and for the markets. The news this morning, they have not, it's 10-year Treasury yield hit 5%, briefly touched in 23%. Otherwise, it hasn't done this since 2007.

10-year yields rise to multi-year highs. What does it mean for you? Higher costs. If you want to buy a house, if you're looking to finance a car, take out a loan, do home improvement, whatever it is. It's going to be mo expensive, mo problems.

Costco is rationing Kirkland Motor Oil.

Okay, full stop. I did not know that, so you know how Costco they have all the Kirkland brands. Kirkland's a sweet little brand. I mean, do they have Kirkland everything? They have Kirkland candles.

They have Kirkland snack foods. They have Kirkland milk.

Now they have Kirkland motor oil. May I be as diverse in offering products as a business one day as they are. Oh my gosh. Anyway, they raised the price to $57.99.

Now, The reason it has increased is they're saying regulatory and licensing costs have added a separate layer. They're trying to tie it to crude prices. But then why is the regulatory and licensing cost, why do we have that increasing the price? Why? Why is that?

Well I don't know, we're just reporters. We didn't bother looking into that part of the story. We just wanted to tie it to, you know. This is the crude oil, so we could bash Trump over the head with it. Oh, so you didn't actually look at why the regular you didn't look at any of that?

No, no. No, we're too busy being lame and G-H-E-Y gay.

Okay. Uh, let's see. Uh, Hayden Panatier. Apparently, she had had a fentanyl-laced Is that oxycontin? Oxycodone.

Oxycodone. I just asked my drugs expert. Also the SCOBY expert on tea, SCOBY, SCOBY, SCBI, SCOBY. That's kind of sad that she did that. Melbourne, a flight, two men allegedly claimed to have a firearm before they were restrained by a group and zip-tied to their C's.

So these guys just zip-tied this dude to a chair. It would have been much worse, I think, if my husband and I were on the flight with you. This is Chelsea Handler from Dear Chelsea.
