Welcome back to the program Dana Lash with you. Top of this third hour. If you missed anything prior, you can go back to the podcast and download. one of the One of the two first hours. Good to be with you.
So we get you set up for the week, ladies and gents. I don't feel bad about the media being banned. From the white. Isn't a constitutional right. To walk into the White House and be able to ask questions.
Now, I say this.
Now, the media has moved now to ban. POTUS from all the things. I don't know if you've seen this or not. That's Kind of the latest, they've decided. They announced this they announced earlier today, Daily Mail.
All major T V networks end. End is in caps lock. Trump on-camera coverage is bitter battle over media ban. explodes. Before I dive into this, I have a question for you all.
Um Do you Think that that's going to hurt their ratings. Because They helped make Trump because it got them ratings. Is this not? I mean, don't you think that this is going to hurt their readings? Whatever are they going to do, friends?
I just don't know.
So he's visiting the UN General Assembly. They're not going to televise it. They're all boycotting. His Ejection of CNN and Lumiznau.
So, the pool, they're like, they're not going to dispatch camera. I don't really think it matters. Does it matter? I love how they think that no one's going to know if they're not there because no one gets their news from them anymore. When's the last time you heard somebody go, I saw it on CNN?
I never hear that. I do not, I don't watch TV. At all. I haven't watched TV for, I've not been a regular television viewer. Golly, I don't know.
I really don't, honestly, don't know. It's been that long. I can't, I don't know when any of the shows, when people talk about reality shows, I'm like, I have no idea what we're talking about. I don't watch any of that. I never have.
Um I I don't.
So do they think that Then People are not going to know what Happens because they're not there. People get their me their stuff from social media. That's their number one driver of news. Turn out. They The uh Fox News Washington Bureau chief, who's the Chair of the TV pool and deals with the logistics of all the coverage and the Uh everything.
confirmed the decision that they're not sending out any T V personnel to the UN in an email that was sent out this morning. They said effective today, the T V pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President.
So they said there will be no replacement pool put in place. And I see a lot of people. There's someone on the right saying that this is maybe a bridge too far, etc. That is I don't look at it that way. I don't look at it through the perspective of this is a free press that he's Keeping from going to the White House because I don't view them as being part of the free press, I view them as being a propaganda network.
I mean, I showed you, for instance, oh, he fell down, and the Secret Service is helping him back up. That was like an actual headline. that they had for Butler, Pennsylvania, when that all happened. The idea that they're somehow doing this to the free press That's it's not a free press. And it's not a free press because they've made it to where they're not a free press.
They're the ones who have inhibited their ability to objectively report the news, not the Trump administration. Do you remember? Wait, what didn't I send you? Let me see. I think I put this in Slack.
Isn't there Do you okay, yeah.
So do you remember CNN ran? A story about A reporter finding And releasing an innocent man in one of Assad's Syrian prisons. And it was a giant fake story and it didn't turn out the guy was actually a terrorist. Pretty sure it turned out that the guy was a terrorist, and they ran with us. I mean, that's like one example.
There's stuff that, I mean, we can sit here and go on and on. the stuff as it uh for COVID. When you can't be shocked by this, I've been saying that there should be riots outside of the AP offices forever. I mean, I've been pretty consistent on my loathing. of the of the way that the press behaves.
And here's the thing. I don't care if someone's biased. You just say that you're biased and don't be a jackwagon. Right? We're not idiots.
I appreciate the people who are like, you know what, we are biased and we're leftist. And here's the story, because you know you're getting it through their perspective. I can still read a story written by a leftist, and I can sift through the garbage as I'm reading it and know that this is where there's shades of opinion here. This is, that's it. I also think that you can be.
Uh politically one side or the other and still write a balanced story. But a lot of people don't do it because that's not what the algorithms reward. You rip. If you really was, it's okay, two things. You could say that corporations determine our narratives in the country.
And you wouldn't be wrong. Because it's the tech corporations, it's the TikTok, it's the Facebook, it's the X, it's Instagram, it's the algorithms that reward engagement and the things that are the craziest get the most engagement. That is Gal Sharpton's entire business model, it's Tucker Carlson's entire business model. I could go out there today after the show and start saying all manner of crazy things on social, and I will get Buku engagement. I don't know, like maybe it'll help my c my uh reputation score on X.
Apparently Grok told me my rep I'm because I'm suppressed. I've been suppressed for forever.
So my engagement is very suppressed on X. And it's been that way pre-Musk. I think it's improved a little bit, but there's so many layers of it, you'd almost have to blow up the whole system, which they can't do.
So it's a thing. Anyway, but. It is true, you know, they they this the algorithm rewards the craziest stuff. And so That's really what is determining. how our news are running.
And I've even seen cable news. reward the things that are trending on social with coverage. I've seen it.
So, yes, you could kind of argue that the big tech algorithms are controlling narratives in this country, that and the foreign influence ops, like from the Qataris, et cetera, which we know are true. This is all these are all very real things, very true things. The a couple of other I want to touch on. I think it's amazingly huge that the President has announced an agreement with Denmark and Greenland. That gives us, and I'm reading his tweet that he had, permanent control over security and.
It addresses all of our concerns and also assists Greenland. He says there will be no cost to the United States. This is, by the way, different from any other agreement that we've ever had with them. And he goes on, talks about the strategic importance. I think that this is incredibly interesting.
Because And he, there's this post there. He says it, he, it, the people of Greenland and Denmark are wonderful. They are, they're lovey-dovey now, guys. They're all getting along. Everything is great.
That is, I think, significant. when you look at the strategic placement. of Greenland. And going in the Arctic. I know that Juan has a map, and it makes sense, really.
I mean, it makes sense anyway, but it really makes sense when you see. the map. because it's very different from the Canadian Arctic perspective. There. I'm pulling this map up on my servers on my computer as well.
That is think of it. I mean right there. It makes a lot of sense. from a strategic position. You get it.
You understand it. It is it's a buffer, it's a it's you know security. And He was able to do it with a business agreement. Right? He was able to do it with a business agreement and I mean, I I don't see their I don't see any I was looking at this.
Let me pull this stripe. The New York Post. Not only did we have we are establishing a foothold there, but also the New York Post says that this follows. A U. S.
firm's purchase of a rare earth mineral mine. there as well. The Greenland security deal, the Post reports, comes 17 days after a U.S.-based company quietly closed a deal to purchase a Greenland mining company. That would produce more than a third of the world's rare earth magnet supply outside of China.
So we beat China to acquire these rare earth elements. The company is going to produce NDPR oxide. It's a compound of some things that have lots of valves in them. And basically, what you need to know is that it's used for magnets, for EVs, wind turbines, as well as defense capabilities, too. And they said that they plan to produce about a third of the amount refined globally outside of China.
And that. Puts not just us, but our allies in a position to access these vital rare earth elements without having to do the song and dance for China. It's over $2 billion, the estimated value of the project per the company that acquired it. The preliminary was SARFARTOC. Stephartic Rare Earths project.
And Now we have security and economic ties. with green lid. I think that that is And I mean, to secure that, I think, is, I mean, the military rights there, barring China, barring Russia. Ever. ever getting any type of military base.
on this you know vital Arctic position. And we have you we have permanent access, basing and overflight rights, plus we have the ability to build new military installations without needing approval from Denmark or Greenland. The deal has no expiration date. It's designed to survive even if Greenland eventually becomes its own independent entity. That's a good deal, guys.
That's a very good deal. I think that's a good deal. And I remember too when they were saying that Trump was crazy. For doing this, and now look.
So he was able to thwart them. This is a good move. Very good move for POTUS and I'm pleased to see it happen.
Now, as it relates to Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, which we're going to be talking about with Stephen Yates. I think it's fascinating that because we've always heard about this like North Korean model. A friend of mine was writing about the North Korean model to get a nuke, create sufficient conventional deterrence so you cannot be challenged. By acquiring one, it's the soul hostage problem, right? That's one of the reasons that everything has to be careful choreography with North Korea because souls are right there and they got everything pointed towards them.
So this North Korea got nukes because Seoul was within artillery range. That's what Iran was trying to do with its ballistic missiles. which it lied about having and it lied about their capability and their range, by the way. Iran wanted, and this is what Marco Rubio talked about. Iran was stockpiling these missiles, stockpiling drones.
They were creating a deterrent. A fact.
so that they would be able to Create and produce and manufacture and enrich everything towards having nuclear capability, and you couldn't do anything because of that. That missile deterrence.
So that was what Rubio was talking about when the United States went after their missile stockpiles. That's what this was about. And remember, they already had those long-range ballistic missiles that can reach. that can reach France that just happen to get shot down. We talked about that.
That's this was about stopping them from doing that. We're going to talk with Stephen Yates about this more and the issue with the Saudis, because one last thing. For all the people who are like, oh, well, we shouldn't have, we can't go to war for Israel, we can't go to war for Israel. Couldn't you say that that's what we're doing for Saudi Arabia right now? We'll talk with Yates about that.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
Okay, check out this crazy headline. This is what, this is, I'm not kidding you. They said that CIA is accused of using Ancestry, like ancestry.com, and 23andMe to quote, hunt down alien bloodlines in millions of DNA tests. What? Yeah, they're looking for alien life on Earth.
They're being accused of this. Jason Giorgiani, a philosophy PhD and science fiction writer, claimed that he spoke with a retired sergeant who served as a psychic spy.
Some of this, I don't know if I can believe it. Honestly, I want to because I'm bored with humans, but They said that apparently people now listen closely guys. People who have ancestry tied to the Nordics, apparently, are aliens. That means I have alien DNA. If that's true, I'll just tell you that I got Nordic ancestry.
in addition to American Indian and Irish.
So that means that I got I got some alien DNA. I always knew I was special. Just saying, like special, not like, you know. A McElturd way, but you know, like super awesome. Anyway, I don't know.
Like, do you, is that something that you would believe? Never showing this to my mom. Ever. Because she is now gonna she will literally run around and tell everyone we're aliens. Swear you did not.
Shut up. I told you about this. Kane needs to stop encouraging it. Let's see. Oh my gosh, there's a lot here.
Oh, this is huge, and we're gonna talk about it at the Greenland situation. That we're gonna get hit that also. Paramount settlement has cleared a path for the Warner Brothers Discovery merger. It's an $81 billion equity deal. And it's combining all the studios, cable networks like CBS, CNN, everything, everything.
And by the way, isn't that all gonna put it under Barry Weiss's? Jurisdiction. Oh, you can see now why they ate her so bad. Oh man, this is gonna be so big. We'll come back to it.
Let's see, a woman was found dead inside of a suitcase, brought to a fire station in Kansas. Police are investigating. The victim was 67 years old. They identified her. They're looking at it as a homicide.
But two people arrived at like 6:30 p.m. Wichita police or fire station with the suitcase and they said, There's a body in here. And they, you know, pronounced the body dead. I mean, there was a dead person in the suitcase. They interviewed the people.
They haven't released any information, but it's an ongoing investigation. And that's, I don't know, I just feel like if you're bringing a suitcase with a dead body in it and you're like, okay, someone was murdered and they're in here. I feel like you didn't do it. Right? Okay, you like.
I mean, that's pretty ballsy, but we've seen crazier things. Let's see. Second recall, the brand Clear Eyes Eyedrops have been recalled because they said that they may not be sterile. We also need to kill all mosquitoes. A third person dies after a mosquito is reportedly trapped on a plane to Germany, an airport malaria phenomenon.
But Kane says that he doesn't believe this. You don't believe this story? I have a healthy tinfoil hat, but this one's hard to believe. I know. They said that they had a, it's a rare outbreak of.
I mean, does it work that quickly? The malaria? Apparently, it said that the malaria killed three people. A mosquito got aboard a flight to Germany. I just can't imagine that that.
Is the case, right? I don't know. It's all very odd. We've got Days of These United States on the way, our partners that bring you the program. It's our friends over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service that's out there.

Dana Live's with you, bottom of this third hour on Monday. You guys are like, don't say it like that. It's horrible. We don't like Mondays. That's okay.
We're going to get you set up so you have every idea of what's happening this week. We were just talking about. This insane story. And my first thought was, oh my gosh, gotta ask our very good friend, Mr. Stephen Yates, about this, who served in not one, but two presidential administration, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, and his new podcast, which is a very, I love the assanence here, Nation States with Yates.
Love it. And he joins us now in his bunker. Mr. Stephen Yates, always a pleasure.
So, this, let me just lay this out. I know you're aware of this story. It does not seem particularly common to me that A shipment of F35 components, particularly the canopy, in which there's valuable sensitive. Technology that is in that, that the Chinese we know would love to be able to have, that it just kind of went missing on its way to the United States for repairs. And just, would you believe it?
It wound up in Hong Kong. I'm sure that was just a crazy mistake, right? This was a pretty big eye popper to me, and of the order of magnitude that someone really ought to go to jail for this, because it's really hard for me to think how this happens unless it's someone on the inside that makes it happen. And that is deeply, deeply troubling. I don't think there is any way you accidentally send some of the more sensitive machinery to a place like Hong Kong.
And I love Hong Kong in the past. It was a great bastion of freedom, sort of at the intersection of total control in communist China and the free markets of the world. But nowadays, it's all people's republic. And so this is a major, major boo-boo. This is one that, like I say, there's got to be some serious accountability for this.
And I think someone needs to do some time to stop this kind of inside thing happening. How would... I don't even understand how they would physically be able to get it and direct it. To Hong Kong, because I just don't believe that we have F thirty five parts and we know that China is seeking any information about any of the tech that's used in this. I mean, it's fifth gen.
One pilot described it as, quote, sneaky. And that there's a lot of sensitive stuff we don't want them to have. I mean, we track these shipments.
So, you know, I don't believe that we just didn't know about it and that we just woke up one day and boom, it's in Hong Kong or that, and even then, how did that happen? Like, did the did Chinese like intercede? Like, I don't even know how this would be pulled off. Yeah, it's hard to understand how an accident could happen. That's why I think there had to have been a nudge.
You'd also like to think that there would be at least as much care and attention and technological monitoring as there is for, say, your average Amazon purchase that would look at where some of these things are as they make their way. And in fact, I'm sure there is an accountability trail that an audit is going to have to uncover about where things go. And look, things that are on an F35, I'm sure there's some things that are not at all sensitive, but there's plenty on the platform that the Chinese would love to have, and they'll take anything. Uh, and and we should be giving them nothing, not even the easy, innocuous stuff.
So, I don't think that there is a way for this to have accidentally kind of been rerouted. Maybe there was bad weather, so maybe there was a problem, a mechanical problem with a plane, and you've got to land somewhere. But if you know you've got something sensitive on board, you don't just land anywhere and you don't let just anybody have access. Yeah, last question on this before we move. How compromised are we because of this now?
Well, I don't know. This is in the context of us having opened our kimono pretty wide on some things in the past.
So, I mean, for years we let some researchers of a certain nationality go to our advanced nuclear research laboratories. And there have been, I think, from the 1990s forward, pretty well-documented compromises on some pretty important things. And every once in a while, we'll find some mocked-up designs on the Chinese side that they like to shoot at or just show us that they took from us.
So there have been advanced aircraft and ships and submarine designs that have been compromised in the past.
So in the grand scheme of things, can I say this is a game over? Probably not. But this is pretty shocking. The F-35 is a pretty important, expensive, modern platform. We have sunk a lot of tax money into it.
There should be no freebies for the likes of the Chinese. Yeah, there shouldn't be. We're talking with our friend Stephen Yates at Steve Yates on X. I wanted to ask you, switching from. Looking at China and Southeast Asia to now going over to the Middle East, the movement over the weekend.
And we kept hearing headlines about movement. The president came back from Camp David and SEC War flew back to DC. And we know that the Houthis have, I don't want to say, I guess, expanded their aggression against the Saudis. And the Saudis were asking for our assistance. They were going to do strikes on the Houthis, and they wanted the United States to join them.
I wanted to get your thoughts on this because, I mean, the Saudis. Am I mistaken? I mean, they can handle the Houthis on their own, can they not? Or is it, you know, it's more gas and oil and their military capability isn't all that's cracked up to be? Yeah, Dana, there's a lot rolled up into this one, more than the average bear might have thought.
I'll try to be quick and somewhat clear about it. But one of the first things the Biden administration did when they came in on Inauguration Day and shortly thereafter was to stop American arms sales to Saudi Arabia that were in support of Saudi operations against the Houthis in Yemen. And that's not just sort of picking at the previous administration. That affects a pipeline of who has what at this point.
Now, the Biden administration also chose to take a giant diplomatic dump on Saudi Arabia and threaten them with sanctions, which is not exactly the best motivation for them to be prepared to deal with things on their own peninsula.
So the Trump administration began in a deficit that was unnecessary and self-made, but has tried to move things forward. And the Saudis, in their infinite wisdom, also decided to take a shot at the United Arab Emirates, who is very Very capable, despite being smaller geographically. And the Saudis tried to get the Emiratis to knock off what they were doing in Yemen that was helping with this.
So the Saudis sort of have an own goal for themselves. The U.S. courtesy of the Baid administration made this worse.
Now, yes, the Saudis still have what they should have by way of capability, but they need to have, I think, what Madeline Albright called cojones to go in and do what is necessary and recognize it might not be clean and easy, but they should, and it should be on them. And if the United States needs to help, then the Saudis sure as heck ought to pay. And I say pay double. Yeah, I thought that's odd because I always thought the Saudis and UAE, which I'm learning maybe, you know, they weren't as close as we thought, but I thought their leadership, the leader of UAE and MBS, I thought they were kind of buddies.
Well, as one can sort of draw from real life, lots of families have fights on the inside. And sometimes things can be close, and sometimes people can have moods. And so I think that we're dealing with one of those periods of transition. But right now, I'd say that the Emiratis are punching way above their weight, but they aren't looking to do any free favors for people that don't respect what they are able to do. And I would imagine that they're going to be watching the meeting that POTUS has with the Xi Jinping.
What What are Middle East leaders looking for in that meeting? What are they going to pick out and pull away with?
Well, first, in terms of for their own region, I don't think they have high expectations of the president putting the bat to the ball for the Chinese. What I mean by that is that the Operation Economic Outcast was supposed to be applied equally to all, and that would seemingly apply to Chinese entities, maybe some named and famous Chinese entities, if it was going to be a comprehensive blanket. And that would put some pretty serious pressure on Tehran. But a lot of people from the broader Middle East, those with real capability, think that if the president will simply apply it across the broader Middle East, including those he'll be meeting with, but also include Turkey and Pakistan in Operation Economic Outcast, that if we really took that seriously, that would also cripple economically the remnants of the IRGC. And I guess the last piece of this is the leader of Iran is going to these meetings.
It's possible President Trump will meet because he meets with anyone he wants. That's kind of the cool thing about President Trump. The leader of Iran is not actually anyone with power to stop this economic terrorism and real terrorism we've been dealing with. That's the Revolutionary Guard. They aren't coming to the meeting.
And so, if there is one with the leader of Iran, I have pretty low expectations that anything deliverable can come from it other than messaging. Interesting. And that is: if this meeting even happens, is Xi Jinping sick? Yeah, I do think that he has some health issues. I don't believe the recent gossip about potential stroke and other kinds of things.
Could be true. I'm not a doctor and don't play one on TV. And I certainly don't get close enough to Xi Jinping to check him out and don't want to. Can I just say that nation states with Dr. Yates sounds awesome also?
Exactly.
Well, if Joe Biden's a doctor, why not? Right. You can be too, right?
So, I mean, I went to school too, but I don't know. But so I, but I do think that he's not in the greatest of health. He was never the most educated dude there was in the room. And I don't think he has a healthy lifestyle. I hear he can drink with the heaviest of them.
And while I don't cast aspersions on people who imbibe, it isn't the best thing for brain health over decades at high quantities. And so I think that he's getting to that point. And the travel is stress on him.
So I don't think that he's at his peak, but I don't think that we're fortunate enough to have Winnie the Pooh go to the other side of the rainbow just yet. I mean, I am hoping and praying for something. I mean, when POTUS met with Putin, And the reception was what it was. I mean, it was like Top Gun went in and just choreographed it. Do we what can we expect from I mean, it's Xi Jinping, and this is Trump.
He is the greatest troll that has ever been elected into office. I what can we get? Do you think he's going to do anything? I hope there is something. I don't know.
I mean, the president seems to feel differently about Xi Jinping than he does about Putin and other leaders. It would have been awesome if there would have been a UFC fight that was out there. That would be a nice bit of Americana. Maybe throw some red, white, and blue victors over red stars or whatever inside the octagon. That would have been fine with me.
You know, showing the Chinese about fireworks is a little bit tough since they have no standards and will blow anything up. But he's going to take them to the archives and maybe he'll show them an original copy of the Declaration of Independence. And at least the word independence makes the Chinese ticklish. That's good for me to start with. There you go, right there.
All I'll say is if I see anybody in a Winnie the Pooh costume out there protesting, that would be a chef's kiss. Would love to see that. Our good friend Stephen Yates, you can find him at Steve Yates on X and his podcast, podcast Nation States with Yates on X or wherever you get your podcast. Good to see you, my friend. Thanks for breaking it down for us.
We appreciate you. Burn a. They call it Burn a gun, but it's not a gun. I tell you, I carry, I will use lethal force and lead all day long to protect myself and my loved ones. I have no problem with that.
But I also understand that sometimes you're not allowed to carry certain places because private property restrictions. And we're not Marxists, so we like private property, whether it's private property restrictions or whether it is. Maybe even municipal restrictions as well. I get it, right? But here's the thing.
You need to still be able to protect yourself.
So that's where a Burna gun comes in because you know these entities that ban all of this don't ever have the security to protect you.
So you need to make sure that you are protecting yourself. This is where Burna comes in. Super easy to use. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 60 feet away. It's effective.
It's no recoil. It's easy target acquisition. And if you compare it to a stun gun or a taser that has like maybe one or two rounds, this has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge, right? Very, very simple. And it's like the size of an iPhone, the Burna CL, particularly.
The CL compact launcher, this is the one we're talking about. That's the only one that you really need. In fact, you can trade in your Burna SD and get a credit towards a new Burna CL when you go to the website, find out details. But this is not a replacement. It's an option that you will be glad to have when your options are limited.

Now he's facing a felony charge because he strangled her during an argument. Smoking Gun has the report on Anthony Gordon, age 32. We got our third hour next. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
So I thought that was hysterical. Is there a way to like zoom in on that?

New episodes every Thursday on Disney Plus and Hulu and wherever you get your podcasts. Hello.
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 sausalito 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.
Alright, so uh let's see. Oh no no no no, let's get this one. Uh apparently A US shipment of F-35s kind of went missing. What? Ed, this is another question for Stephen Yates.
Lawmakers in the Trump administration are investigating the odd disappearance of a U.S.-bound shipment of F-35s of components, sorry, fighter jet components. The headline's a little misleading. From Australia, they were originally meant to be repaired on U.S.
soil, according to reporting from Politico. Apparently, these three unnamed sources. Suggested that neither the Pentagon nor Lockheed Martin knows why the shipment ended up in Hong Kong. which is where it was diverted. Mm.
Hmm. You know, China's long been known to want intelligence on the F-35 program. And it's the F-35 Lightning II, which Lockheed Martin describes as the most lethal, survivable, and connected fighter aircraft. Huh. And specifically, the missing is the F35 canopy, a major component that contains sensitive tech.
How did that happen? They said it's the most costly weapons system in the U.S. military, and the Pentagon has spent around $200 to $250 billion on the program. By the way, some of the tech involved in that was from a collaboration with Israel. We scaled it up and took IP, or they scaled it up and we co-own IP.
Isn't that fascinating?
So they're trying to recover the missing components and determine what happened. Big question. Our first question for you is coming up. Let's see, it's Fat Bear Week. Grizzlies, fat bears, fat bears are searching for fat food ahead of hibernation.
So they're gonna get all chonked up. And everybody who is going out into the wilderness is told: please do not try to pet the bears. They're hungry, they're eating, they're preparing to go take a long nap. That's it. And so they're telling residents, golfers, hikers, everybody, please exercise supreme caution.
