Top of this third hour here, Monday. And if you missed anything in the previous two hours, which if you missed the previous two hours, you missed a lot because we went through Texas.
We went through the early voting. We went through Tarrant County, particularly why that is important for the rest of the nation and how actually could affect the Senate majority. We went through the fight over the the closed polling station in my county and all of that. We also dove into Abdul El Sayed, so go and get the podcast. Also, make sure you subscribe over at Substack.
I have a big deep dive piece coming out later today, all about some of the stuff that we just talked about with resources for you.
So make sure, chapter and verse, you are subscribed. Coming up at the bottom of this hour, my friend Stephen Yates, who is a foreign policy guru, is going to join us to talk about what went down with Brazil and also what some of the stuff that's happening across Europe, which is where. We're going to start for the top of this hour.
So, with Europe, everything that was going on in France is now spreading. I don't know if you saw some of the video from over the weekend, but you had rioters actually now marching into the Colosseum, the historic Colosseum. There were fights breaking out, but the Italian police were not playing. As you remember, their Prime Minister Maloney, Georgia Maloney, has said that they're going to crack down on this stuff, and so they were. You didn't see all of that destruction and everything that you were seeing in Paris because Emmanuel.
Coron is allowing it in Paris. He is allowing them to bully and intimidate and destroy and set fires, and it's just crazy. But they did. They, they had people were were protesting. They were they were carrying around the Gaza flag, which goes to show that this this has never been about education, and it's never been about students, especially when you see mostly fighting age males waving.
Gaza flags and running around, screeching and hollering. It's all this red-green alliance, and you're seeing it not only in Paris. You're seeing it in Spain. You've obviously you've been seen in the UK. You've been seen it now in Milan and in Rome.
You've been seen it in Albania in a quasi similar form. It's been happening absolutely everywhere.
Now, what's interesting is that. You have Europe that has been really, really leaning this way and buying into this propaganda. Latin America has really been rejecting it because you had Argentina's election results. You've had some very interesting shifts in Guatemala, but then Brazil, which we're going to talk about with Stephen Yates, very interesting. I think everybody thought that Bolsonaro was going to win, but then of course you know they ended up.
Extending voting, and then suddenly it changed. It's crazy. We're going to dive into all of that here coming up. But the riots elsewhere, what you've been seeing—it's they've been destroying. Even like in France, you've been seeing that they they closed the Louvre.
They've closed a lot of these historic reactions, tourist attractions. They were the protesters. Interestingly enough, have been targeting a lot of French iconography. Which is very Mao esque, with the Cultural Revolution that they saw in China, to completely tear apart and tear down the old culture to replace it with a new communist tyranny, and so you have this red green alliance with the waving their, their gods and flags. They forced their way into Rome's Colosseum.
They were trying to start fires. Europe has been gripped by these protests across major cities. There were the and they and you know what they were calling for. The protesters, when they they forced their way into the Colosseum, they weren't calling for better educ more educational reform or better education. They weren't calling for more books.
They weren't calling for anything other than Gaza. Yeah, they were saying all of the you know free free Palestine stuff and from the river to the sea and all of that other stuff. They were talking about Gaza, because that's all this is. That is a Rorschach test. It is a Trojan horse.
It is the cudgel that is being used to foment discord and push the red green alliance. And you know why they're pushing so hard? I'll tell you why they're pushing so hard. You have two years, a little over two years right now, of Trump in office. You have two years to lock down American success to expand our energy.
We haven't built a refinery since 1977. We need to do that immediately. Do you realize that you would take Iran completely off of the table if the United States could actually live to its its full skill set? And be able to produce and add to the world energy market, not only sustain itself, but but also sustain our allies. Iran wouldn't even be a player at this table if we were operating at full capacity.
If we had expansion of refineries, this would not even be an issue. But it's very interesting how one party on the ballot has consistently fought that expansion, has consistently fought that progression, has consistently fought. The ability of the United States to achieve its full potential as a net energy exporter. We they've been fighting. It's been Democrats.
They've been fighting us every step of the way. It's almost like they've wanted to aid Iran by keeping us at a certain level artificially, by by refusing to allow the United States to achieve its full energy potential. They wanted to aid Iran and keep Iran at a player and hold the rest of the world hostage. You would not be having any of this stuff. You wouldn't be having this stuff with the Houthis.
You wouldn't be having this stuff with the IRGC. You wouldn't be having this stuff with Hezbollah. You wouldn't be having this stuff with Hamas. Not if the United States is able to reach its full energy potential, we would be kneecapping them. And Trump has been trying to get us there.
I know people look. I criticize where due, and I give credit where due. And I'm probably the only person in my field who has consistently been that. But I will say. Diving forward on energy the way that he's been doing has been a net boon for the United States, but even he cannot achieve in one term or even an interrupted two terms what has taken Democrats multiple terms to destroy.
It's difficult, especially when you have a Congress that decided to dismiss itself and not even go back until into November, well after voting. Crazy that, right? Or having a Congress that's unable to do anything, which means that you have to basically rule by executive order.
So much of which can be reversed if we don't follow up with a Republican administration.
So these two years on the clock are everything right now. That is why it feels so intense. That is why you're seeing all of this stuff that you're seeing, and there's just so much more intensity. This is cut five. Trump talks about this.
Watch. Americans did not spend all these years fighting communists and terrorists in order to look and just watch it all burn down and come down to the ground. And we're not going to surrender America to communists, jihadists. We're not going to do it here. I'm not going to do it.
We're not going to do it in this state.
Now he mentioned communists and jihadists, which is the red-green alliance.
So he's aware of this; he sees it. Not every Republican is aware of it, and it doesn't help him that there is a divide that has that the right has been baited into. The right has been infiltrated. What you need to realize, and this is something we're going to talk about even more later this week, is the right has been absolutely infiltrated. Our institutions have been infiltrated.
Even our conservative publications have been infiltrated. Big name, you know, big marquee publication names, big media entity names have been infiltrated. That's why you're starting to see, honestly, some of the most ridiculous progressive leaning, identitarian takes that you possibly could have, because it's all about pushing the United States Republicans, even. To more towards a more authoritarian type of governance, that's what it's all about, and they're exploiting the red-green alliance and that weakness as a way of doing so. They're not doing.
These are the people that are focused more on complaining about Gaza and Israel than they are about their own republic. These are the people who have Christ as king in their bios, but they ignore the massacre on the hands of Islamists of Christians in places like Ethiopia and in Nigeria and in Sudan. They ignore the Islamists in Jordan that opened fire on a church over the weekend, killing scores of Christians. Jordan's leadership said that they were going to respond with a closed iron fist because they're not tolerating that, which is a lot more than you're going to hear from the woke right, which is why they're so aptly named. A lot of stuff is at play here, and the right is the weakest that it has ever been.
This is the weakest that Republicans have ever been, and I say that not in terms of numbers. I'm saying the coalition. It was a coalition, but it allowed some bad actors to come in and infect some of the thinkers and the think tanks on our side, and that is why you are seeing this. There is a lot here. We've talked about it.
We've talked about it with multipolarity and Alexander Dugin. We've talked about it with the Red Green Alliance. There is a lot at play here, and so you are seeing this play out in France. You know, you had four hundred thousand people that marched in major cities across France on Saturday alone.
Now they're saying that oh well it was this is the way now Daily Mail to their credit have been one of the only publications that have accurately talked about the red green alliance and the the what these protesters are actually talking about I will say they get it wrong in the beginning here it says the French movement which started last month I'm reading a piece in the Daily Mail that was initiated by students over their quality of education has been co opted by ultra left organizations no no no they were not co opted that's what it always was. They just—they had the veneer of being students. They pretended that it was a student thing. It wasn't a student thing. They just merely pretended that it was.
That's how that worked. And so, that's what you're seeing. All of this, now the truth is coming out. That's the truth of it. It's—I know it's crazy stuff right now.
Now, one of the other things that we saw. Over the weekend, and I don't know what you can say about this. I had this in my twelve o'clock hour, but obviously, as you know, I went very, very long, so I am very behind in everything.
Some of the stuff we're going to have to say for tomorrow. The Pentagon. This was trending. This was trending eleven hours ago on X. Everett the O'Neill's letter, which I've been talking, which is a good account to follow.
They were saying that the Pentagon was preparing every major U.S. military base to operate for at least ninety days without outside electricity, fuel, or water, water or supplies, anticipating a major war that could cripple power grids, etc. They said the plans included portable nuclear reactors, large-scale battery storage, and microgrids able to disconnect installations from civilian the civilian electrical grid entirely. Even Fox News. Reported on it.
This was yesterday evening. They called it Fortress. It's an initiative in documents that they reviewed that said they envision portable nuclear reactors, massive battery storage, etc. Sean Parnell, Pentagon chief spokesperson, said, "Quote: Power is combat now. Without electricity, you lose communications, logistics, etc." Now it could just be prevention.
It could just be always a part of preparedness because. I mean, you could say preparedness is offense too, not just defense, and that the Pentagon is ordering a stockpile of all of this.
Now you see this; it gets reported on, and everyone loses their mind. We're going to talk to Stephen Yates about it because people are going. What is? What do you suppose that means for what Trump knows is coming? That was one of the sentences from one verified journalist.
They're talking about a 90-day power grid. That would be a lot to wipe out. By the way, how prepared are you? Like, do you got your all? I mean, if you you know, you got bottled water, you got a mart, you got all this stuff, you got ammo because you're going to need that.
Just saying, power goes out. I mean, you see how people devolve on Chris, like Black Friday shopping. What if you had a power grid go down for ninety days? What does that look like? We got a lot of stuff to talk about with our guests coming up at the bottom of this hour.
We have more on the way as we move our partners that bring you help bring you the program. It's the folks that are at Alliance Defending Freedom. They are there on the tip of the spear. To I mean, really. Fight all of these good cases.
There's a lot of cases that they've helped with, that they've dealt with. Freedom is not a gift from the government. Our rights come from God, period. And the government doesn't grant those rights, and it certainly doesn't have the authority to take them away. But preserving those freedoms, the responsibility falls on we, the people.
And right now, those God-given rights are being challenged and threatened like never before. And ADF relies on people like you to continue fighting those battles in the courtroom. In the state legislatures, wherever your freedoms are under attack, and now there's an opportunity to make your support go even further. Every dollar you give will be matched by a special grant while the funds last.
So that means your gift today can have twice the impact in defending the freedom we hold dear.
So don't wait for someone else to stand up for your freedom.

Well, this is a crazy story.
So, per TMZ. A teacher accused of holding a naked man down and sending a thousand dollars in Apple Pay. New Jersey middle school teacher was accused of running a prostitution scam that involved her allegedly pinning down a dude, but claims that she was quote strictly there to party, and that is literally direct quote from the affidavit. It's a New Jersey computer teacher, and it happened at Caesars in Atlantic City earlier this month, per the New York Post. The victim says that yeah, she absolutely was using.
His Apple, his Face ID to open up Apple Pay, and then she sent payments to herself totaling more than twelve hundred and fifty dollars.
Now her team say says that she that that they are denying her involvement in pinning him down, and they are rejecting the claim that about knowledge of prostitution. This is such a weird story. Moving on, firefighting continues after a reported explosion at a Cedar Rapids Quaker Oats. Toasty oats, right there. There, okay.
So this is not a true story. I'm not. I'm going to have to spend the headline on this, correcting it.
So a they.
So Vice was saying that a baby was born with a full mustache, and the internet was losing its mind. No, it wasn't. It was an AI mustache drawn on a baby. Dear God in heaven, can we not? Ah, let's see.
An ex astronaut says that UFOs are actually demonic beings hiding in plain sight. I don't know if I buy that necessarily. A 91 year old who walked on the lunar surface during Apollo 16 believes that the mysterious craft—they're not actually aliens from distant galaxies. Does that make you more scared or more disappointed? Because I really, you know, hold out hope for an alien invasion.
Humans are so boring. You think you're disappointed? Like I wanted an intergalactic fight. Like I wanted to be able to use a laser cannon on some illuminat. You know what I mean?
We have proof that's equal for both, you know, theories. Like, do we really know for sure? We don't. I don't know. Charles Duke, though, is trying to just burst all our bubbles, saying that well, they're just regular old demons.
Not aliens. I mean, not that that's not bad, you know. But I'm just saying. I think we were all kind of crossing our fingers for a little bit, you know, more of an intergalactic kegger, so to speak. I don't know.
Let's see this. Oh boy!
So in in a Scottish village, the locals are terrified because a man has a Texas chainsaw massacre Halloween display. It's actually quite innovative, but they're terrified of it. The man, the lad's name's Craig Voss. He put up the scary seasonal decorations in his garden in Olness, and they said that everybody's terrified of it. It shows a fake-blooded corpse with the guy, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the killer holding a chainsaw, and that's it.
And people, the locals are all over social media. Saying that, oh, it's the youngins walk past it, terrifying sight for the youngins. Ah, then someone else said it's just a normal day and illness.
So they said that.
Someone else said it could be real. I mean, it is illness after all. I don't know what that means, but I mean, I hope that would not be considered something that could be real there.
So yeah, and the homeowner said, "Oh, the kids around here would be disappointed if I didn't put on a scary show Halloween." Or Olazev, is what they would say.
So there you go. I really don't think it's. I mean, obviously, it looks like they look like dummies. They look like mannequins that you would get at like Spirit Halloween.
So I just think that these people are kind of being a little soft. As we move, the folks who help bring you that bring you the program, it is the people over at Burna. It's called Burna Gun, but it's not a gun, so I'm going to call it Burna. There's several models that they have, and I'm going to explain. But the only one you need to care about is the Seal.
Burner CL stands for compact launcher. Burner shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to sixty feet away.
Now the CL is about the size of an iPhone. And super concealable, and if you have like a stun gun or a taser, that's great for you. But this has a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge compared to one or two rounds from a stun gun or a taser.
Now, here's the thing: because it's not a gun, it does not care about gun free zones. There's no waiting period. There's no background check. You order it online, and they send it right to your house. And if you're like a college student that lives off campus, maybe you're 20 years old, you can't carry a handgun yet, but you can carry full auto overseas in service of your country.
I don't know. I don't make the rules. You can carry a Berna CL because it's good to have an option when your options are limited.
So you can check it out byrna.berna.com/dana. Again, it's not a replacement because I carry and I have no problem using lethal force. This is an option that you're going to be glad to have when your options are limited. Berna.com/dana to learn more. I'm Alonso Morning.

Now we were we were touching on everything domestically and a lot of this early voting stuff, and then of course we started the third hour discussing the craziness that you saw in France and how it's exploded to Milan, now Rome, I mean the Colosseum, which is crazy. But then in Brazil, this is what's weird. We see the red-green alliance gaining ground in Europe, but we were thinking, oh, maybe in Latin America, it's not going to be so bad. We have Argentina, right? Look at how some.
These elections are going. You know, at least you know in El Salvador they have someone who's willing to work with the United States. But maybe you know Bolsonaro could win in Brazil, and it looked like he was going to. And then Alex Soros got involved.
So now the latest is that their election could be annulled. That's what the New York Times was saying. They said it's a very extremely serious and critical situation because there was a last minute voting extension. Bolsonaro was leading, and a guy, a Lula-appointed justice named Cristiano Zanon, decided that they were going to extend voting. And of course, then all of a sudden, Bolsonaro starts losing when they start doing that.
Isn't that crazy?
So, what is going to happen in Brazil on this and a million, eleven trillion issues? You know, our very good friend, Mr. Stephen Yates, who's a foreign policy expert. He worked in not one but two presidential administrations. He's also senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, and his new podcast, as you can see by that sweet logo behind him, Nations.
States with Yates, which is super fun to say, you can find on X or wherever you get your podcast. My good friend, it's always so nice to see you.
Okay, what is happening in Brazil? I am just shocked. They're like, okay, go ahead and let's vote a little longer, and then all of a sudden, Bolsonaro, who's been leading, starts tanking, and now they're saying that he lost, and now they're talking about arresting him.
Well, it's a familiar script to anyone that maybe thinks of six years ago. We have an election outcome that seems mathematically impossible for the first time in the history of Brazilian presidential elections. The candidate who won in the first round did not win the runoff. Ten million new votes were mysteriously found. This, despite the fact that in the multi-candidate first round, the Other candidates, were center right candidates that you would think would be votes that either didn't vote or would move towards our preferred candidate, the common sense conservative candidate.
But no, somehow Lula, out of magical fairy dust, came up with 10 million new votes, and we have legal machinations that are probably illegal that have happened.
So pretty clear that the Bolsonaro family has once again been. Robbed. I have to say that my my assessment is that that robbery is likely to complete the process. There's a huge advantage in a corrupt country with a corrupt judiciary to be able to complete the robbery. And so I hope, hope, hope that there is an annulment and they can do it right a second time.
But the very first thing that happened after this was, as you noted, a someone with the last name Soros cheering for joy, which always. Gives me the heebie-jeebies, and then the second thing is the threat that oh, the loser in this is a threat to the republic, and we must seize his passport because he belongs to a criminal family. That sounds pretty eerily familiar and toxic. What amazes me about this is that even after, from what I understand, the magical ten million votes that apparated out of the ether—like where did that even come from? We don't know.
That Lula only beat him fifty-one to forty-eight. After that, that to me suggests how far ahead Bolsonaro actually was. Right.
Well, as the old adage goes, they have to make sure that they cheat beyond their marginal error, or you have to win beyond the margin of cheating. And the other kind of comparison I forgot to drop in there. This is an 80-year-old candidate that somehow, after all these decades being in government and politics, is the must-win candidate once again. There were health issues that had dogged him in his recent term. There's a lot of questions about whether he should have actually run for re-election.
So I mean, there's just so many vibrations in the tinfoil hat international thinking on this, and I have to admit, I am fitting myself for one of those tinfoil hats as I read these results. Oh my gosh, you and Kane can craft them together. You can have craft time and make yourselves little.
Well, though I may join you, though that's the crazy thing because you know when Alec. At first, I thought this is obviously it's it's a it's a it's thievery, obviously. But then Alec Soros comes. Just to put the cherry on top, like yes, yay! Look, I'm so excited, and we know he was very, very instrumental in backing Lula.
And then Pedro Sanchez in Spain was congratulating him and saying, "This is going to be the same. This is going to happen in Spain as well." Is intimating that if this is a close election, then you know, obviously the far left candidate is going to win.
So he's getting some support from Spain's socialist leader. What does this portend? For Podus, because I know that he was really looking at boxing out China and any Russian influence and Iranian influence in Latin America. Is this enough of a? And I don't really want to say loss because I'll say theft.
Is this enough of a theft to rock that or to stop that conservative explosion that's been we've been seeing in Latin America? I don't think it is. Partly because, as the saying goes, I'm not tired of winning, and the wins so far have been substantial. And if you look from the North Pole to the South Pole, we are going to be gangbusters on fuel and resources from Alaska and Greenland down into the great middle part of North America, that is, the United States of America, and we have all of these other countries in. Latin America that have decided that they don't want crime, they don't want cartels, they don't want globalism.
They want family, faith, prosperity, opportunity, and that arc is stronger and it is growing. I think people now have the decades of the bitter fruits of what this leftist sales pitch delivers them, and basically the last gasp of this leftist movement is absolute. Corruption and thievery, so Brazil will remain a contested area. It's a shame that it didn't come into the right camp this election. But I think any reasonable person would have had to look at it and say, "Yeah, the Bolsonaro candidacy and family and promise is an attractive one, a good one." Younger people in Brazil should have wanted it.
Maybe they did, but we're up against one of the older, more practiced machines. You can never underestimate. The last gasp of these dying machines. And I was reading that one of the Brazilian journalists, Malu Gaspar, was saying that all of the superior electoral court ministers were against the idea of extending the voting by two hours. But it ended up that that one justice, the Zanin, was the one who I guess outranked them and could just overrule them all.
Are they going to arrest Bolsonaro now? Because that's what some of these underlings for for have been saying. That for Lula and others, they're they're saying, well, well, we're going to seize his passport. One of them tweeted this and said that they were going to arrest him. Do you think that's actually going to happen?
Well, it's sort of like asking, "Do you think the Democrats are going to vote to impeach Trump if they win the midterms?" So, I think the question sort of answers itself for all of us that have watched the movie. They've been frothing about the Bolsonaro family for a very, very long time, just like a lot of people in America have been frothing about the Trump family. And we've seen what what they are willing to do, and they can bend the the legitimate legal processes so far in some cases. It bounces back, and justice can be served in some form or fashion. But ask President Trump how he feels about what that journey was like, and I think the Bolsonaro family is going to keep going through there.
Remember where dad is; he's imprisoned. Yeah, yeah, he's in prison.
So I mean, I don't know. Maybe he'll have to come. Maybe he could be an actual legitimate refugee if he can't. I I hate. I don't want it to have to go to that because I feel like when these leaders leave and become refugees or or sorry, seek asylum somewhere, they never go back, and then that place stays statist.
You know, they never ever because they lost their bannermen for for freedom. Yeah, I agree. We want Brazil to be great for Brazilians again, not for sort of the the dying communist movement that sort of dragged Latin America into low productivity socialism. That jumped into the green new scam ideology of environmentalism when they're a extremely resource rich and productive country. If left to their natural endowment, there's huge opportunity and upside there.
That we just have. To sort of wait for Europe to have its awakening that has been called for by the president and two cabinet secretaries and the vice president, and Latin America's got to continue this. But we have to remember just. Two plus years ago, we were on the other side of this equation. This is the one part of the midterms that baffles me: that so many people have forgotten how much has changed in our hemisphere and our neighborhood just from the border to the broader hemisphere to the approach to energy.
I say border energy tech and this hemisphere are the areas where we're having the wrong affordability conversation. We can't afford to go back on those policies. You think gas is expensive now? We'll pay in lives and jobs if we go back on those policies.
So well said. We're talking to our friend Stephen Yates, host of Nation States with Yates, where you can see on X and where you get your podcast. I wanted because I feel like I mean, obviously this all ties into Iran. I first saw from the Hormuz letter an account on X, and they were saying the Pentagon's preparing every major military base to operate for at least ninety days without outside electricity, fuel, water, or supplies, anticipating a major war that could cripple power grids. I saw another one saying the prime minister of the U.K.
was advising people to stock up on tin food and bottled water. And then I keep, you know, seeing people watch.
Well, Trump hasn't done anything on Iran today, or he's not struck today. Are we? What is the latest with us? And are we anticipating a major move? I got to tell you, I don't envy Trump's position right now because you have a Republican base that's actually been baited half of it into believing all this nonsense about Iran from the Red Green Alliance, and then you have the other people who are like, if we just were able to just take this out because he's got two years on the clock, that is it.
And then who knows what's coming down the road after that? Is is that what he's preparing for? Is that the? Decision that he's grappling with right now. How do you look at this from your perspective?
Because you have the experience here.
Well, from my point of view, I am unequivocal that I think the president was right to hit Iran. I think that that was necessary and long overdue. I think he was also right to avoid the failed nation-building experiment of the past. That you throw away the the pottery barn lie that if you break it, you own it. We don't own to think we break.
You should just work things out so that we don't have to come into your neighborhood and break things. That may not be fair, but them's the apples. You got to eat them. And I think for now, my recommendation would be keep the the world historic economic pressure campaign in place, starve the evil regime that is the theocracy in Iran, the blockade, the financial measures, all of that, and have what I would consider to be maintenance strikes on nuclear sites. Maybe more fundamentally, with allies or maybe just the allies, degrade the IRGC over time.
I don't think a return to major military operations is in the cards. It could be. The president has a lot of options to do that, and it's certainly deserved. This evil regime does not deserve a breath, and we, you know, we've had a grievance sufficient to justify it since I was a kid, counting 444 days of hostages being held.
So, I, you know, I am firmly on the side that action is is justified. But I would keep the economic pressure. I would have targeted military strikes. Led by allies, occasionally by us, but the pressure is going to work. And I think after the election, the pressure on the president goes away.
And if we keep going with the energy policy, making things abundant in our country, prices come down too. And so I think getting our policies right, managing that overseas, is the way to go. But I've given up trying to predict where this goes. And the president, he could just declare victory and. And pull back and move along, or he could turn a civilization to glass as he's threatened a number of times.
We just don't get to know. I know. I have one last quick question for you of like one minute. I got to go along because it's. I wish we we could talk for another two hours.
Israeli elections are tomorrow. What does where did where does do you think it stands in in terms of the effect on the Western alliance?
Well, it really depends on how one of the most complicated political systems turns out in Israel. Election is not the not the end of a process in many ways. It's the beginning of coalition forming, and so whether it's Japan or or Israel, I think those are the most complicated systems to try to read. If the whatever comes after this is a departure from the priorities that Bibi Netanyahu has had, regardless of whether he's prime minister or someone of his cloth is prime minister, it's really do his. Priorities continue.
That's I think vital to where the broad Abraham Accords coalition has been and could go, where the good parts of American-Israeli cooperation have been demonstrated in recent years. That's the vital part. If instead it goes back to Palestine and a two-state solution are the beginning of every Middle East conversation, then I think we're in dead end territory, and and there'll be real uncertainty in the. Middle East—that I think is what needs to be avoided. Hopefully, voters of Israel are wise to that.
Yeah.
Well, we're going to watch it, and we're going to also check out Stephen Yates' podcast, Nation States with Yates, because he dives into this—you know—even deeper than we're able to on this segment here. We so appreciate your time, my friend. You can go find him at Steve Yates on X, Nation States with Yates, the podcast, and his daughter is well. Been praying for you, my friend, because I know it's been the one year since you lost your sweet girl because of. Three years.
Sorry, I'm so sorry. Three years.
But I know this is the this is the observation of that. We've been praying for you and fentanyl and the entities that have been pushing this to poison our youth so bad. I'll give you a final word and then I'll let you go. Thank you, Dana. Anyone who is interested, I did do a special series of episodes last week on the Nation States with Yates podcast.
One is the personal story of what it was like to go through twelve days from an overdose through ICU, through an honor walk, through hospice, through the last breath. It's a brutal story in some ways, but it's one I hope people will listen to and understand what hundreds of thousands of American families have gone through. The second one are some of the personal lessons and policy lessons learned. That that I hope will inspire people to have informed conversations with those who seek your vote about what we need to do better to stop this scourge and also to uphold our friends and neighbors who are dealing with some of life's worst challenges. Maybe we, as families, can be better prepared.
I certainly wasn't, and these are some of the lessons learned that I hope put others in a better position. But thank you, Dana, for honoring Christina and honoring the cause. Of course, we learned a lot from you on this. A lot.
So, thank you for being so transparent and sharing that. We're praying for you and your family, and we miss beautiful Christina.
So, God bless you, my friend. Thank you so much for sharing that with us, and we'll talk with you again. Thank you, Dana. Take good care. You too.

Boy, oh boy! I got to be quick here because we went long. I will make it up for you tomorrow. A man allegedly attacked a fellow Uber passenger because that feller took up too much space in the shared ride. Because you know how sometimes you can pick shared rides.
A Florida man was arrested. He attacked another dude that he said was taking up too much space in their shared Uber. Marion County Sheriff's Office responded to a Walmart. After report of a disturbance, they spoke with the 60-year-old Burton McDonald and the 65-year-old victim. The victim said he and McDonald got into an argument over the amount of space that the victim's items were taking up in the shared Uber, and it was this argument.
After this argument, that McDonald then began throwing hands. Don't you catch? He's only hands, and battered the victim in the back seat of the shared Uber.
So he's being held at the Marion County Jail with a thousand dollars bond. Apparently, he hasn't bailed out yet. And the records show that he's expected to appear in court in November.
Now, maybe don't do a shared ride, especially if you're, you know, I don't know. I don't. I've never done a shared ride because it's hard enough to get into a vehicle with somebody you don't know driving, much less share the passenger space with someone that you don't know. And if I'm in Florida, risk of getting a Florida man like this feller, you know, I don't know. I don't know that I would be up for that.
I just tomorrow, what I'm going to do is tell you because I got a couple of other. Crazy ones! I will tell you how to not shop for cars in Florida. As we move, we have headlines on the way. Our partners bringing you the program.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
Remember, I was the United States senator, so I know what happens in those rooms. And in those rooms, and your mom knows, in those rooms, there are conversations that happen, where it is important for certain people to stand up and speak, to help at least, to help at least encourage a certain conscience about what we should care about, in terms of the work we do in the halls of Washington D.C. and with some clarity about how it will actually play out in the streets of America. Chris is the kind of person who will be in that room thinking. All the heroes out there on the campaign trail.
What is she saying? I just wish we need.
So what we're. It's like you're going to have to have like um, like a translator, like your own sort of Rosetta Stone to figure out what she's saying. Although I don't even know what she's. She's like words. There's time that I have to fill with words from my mouth.
That I have to say out loud for you people, just don't know. That's what I feel like whenever she talks. She just seems, I. It's either a lack of preparation or just total apathy. She doesn't care.
I will never forget how when she was in France, when she went, when she was VP, and she was over there meeting Macron and all of this and. I think there were a million other things that she could have done, but she went to that one store that Julia Child used to always go get her copper cookware, and she walked into that store, and that turned out to be the big thing. Right? She walked out, and I get that you want to sightsee, but you are on there on a like an official thing. Maybe do that on your own time, like on a separate.
You pay you pay your own way trip because I just remember that completely overshadowing her whole trip. And you can't tell me if you're really like a cook, you know what you need, and you would be like you would send a staffer, be like, I need this sauce pot, or I need this, or you know whatever. And it just seemed really. I don't know if she did that on purpose because she thought it would be a good photo op. Or what I don't know, but I just remember finding that incredibly awkward.
And then the press was asking her about it, and that was also awkward. I think she's a bit better of a cook than Chuck Schumer, but other than that, every time I hear her talk, I just find it. Remarkable that she could follow instructions to like make a you know a complicated meal. I don't know. Just the whole thing's weird.
She's not helping any candidate. I'm actually surprised that candidates have her on the campaign trail. That's how you know Abdel El Saeed is in trouble because he's bringing out Barack Obama.
Now, what's funny. Is nobody wanted a campaign with Barack Obama when he was in office? I will never forget Claire McCaskill when she was in the Senate was turning down a campaign event with Barack Obama because his negatives were so high in Missouri, and she just did not want to tank it because she was trying to pretend that she was a moderate.
So she actually did not; she refused. That was a big scandal at the time. He had no coattails.
Now they're having him come out, but does he really still have any coattails? I mean, being popular is. One thing, but he never was able to lend any of his shine to another candidate. And also, people are looking at Abdel Elsaeed, especially with this latest ad that he released, and they're scratching their heads, going, "Well, Abdel Elsaeed talks more about Israel and Gaza than he talks about Michigan. He and the woke Reich—they're all the same damn people." All right, class.
I got to tell you about a product that you don't realize that you need until you actually try it.

So, new headline from New York Post: Orthodox Jews are fleeing New York for Florida amid rising anti-Semitism. I actually know more friends than I can count who have left New York specifically because of this reason. Because they have been, they're upset over it. They don't feel safe in New York, so they talk about how, for instance, a hundred Orthodox Jewish families, a hundred different families, left. They're joining the 60.
Who this is like one neighborhood in New York, so they said that they are they are all fleeing for newer communities in Florida. And by the way, they're voting. They're voting Republican. Although I think people in the media need to learn to differentiate between different segments, even in the Jewish population, because. It's it just I mean even this post is even this story is kind of getting it wrong.
Early voting is surging in a number of battleground states, but Democrats are outpacing GOP gains.
Now I've told you before that Democrats usually outperform Republicans in early voting. This has historically always been the trend. What you want to see is increased Republican voters for early voting, but we're having a bit of an issue with that. I'm going to explain that coming up. But this is that's one of the latest from the Hill.
Let's see. This you have pulling this up. The Trump administration is evaluating mass pardons for junior staffers now. Why is this? Maybe because after Lisa Slakin went out there and said that she's looking forward to going after conservatives, young conservatives who are looking to get involved and participate.
In their government processes and elections, maybe they didn't like being targeted by her so much.
So apparently, the White House says that they are evaluating. That was the word used per the Washington Sun, which came from a report Saturday. They said the White House is evaluating this story, so it may happen. Banks are preparing for the aftermath of an unprecedented catastrophe that they think.
Well, it looks like they're trying to plan for a market crash caused by AI. This is something that Elon Musk is also kind of echoing. But they're saying that the AI apocalypse is no longer just limited to outbursts from a couple of tech billionaires.
Now there's American banks whose policies are dictating the flow of capital. They're starting. Starting to worry about rogue AI, and they're preparing contingency plans for the day after any kind of theoretically AI-driven, theoretical AI-driven catastrophe. This is according to a new post from Axios, elevated by Futurism. Hola, es Mr.
