Girl, guess what? Hey, what's up? I'm looking into prep for HIV prevention. Prep? I didn't think that was for women.

Same. Then I asked my doctor, and she said anyone who is sexually active should know about prep. Really? And there are long-acting injectable options. Long-acting?

I like the sound of that.

With you, and we are at the top of the second hour. I don't know if you guys saw the story today. Actually, it started off yesterday. Dallas Morning News ran an op-ed for a Democrat campaign right before an election that involved a paid editorial, and they think that a little bitty editor's note at the bottom. Added hours later is apparently sufficient for disclosure.

the The whole op ed ran on November.

Well, yesterday was it yesterday? Yeah, yesterday. And the author, Suzanne Bell Schneider, was paid fifty seven thousand dollars. In consulting from Gina Enosa's campaign, according to completely available on the internet public records, she is a paid operative with Gina Enosa's campaign, and the Dallas Morning News did not disclose that. They ran the editorial under the headline "I'm a Republican, but Gina Enosa has my vote," and they did not at all.

At all, tell their readers that the author was a paid operative for that campaign. It shows that the Beltsnider Group entity received a fifty seven thousand dollars. They got twenty two thousand dollars most recently on September eighth from Gina Hinosa's campaign. They also got another twenty two thousand dollars. They, I mean, they were.

She was making fat bank. She was making a lot of money, a lot of money, and so I just look at this and I'm like, huh, huh. If that had been, I hate doing this, but if that had been a Republican, what might have the left's reaction been? I think you guys would know, right? I think you would know this.

Yeah, in the media.

So they added this little at the very finally after it was online for an inordinate amount of time. They wrote, "quote." After the publication of this column, and this was at 3 p.m.

Now, keep in mind that this editorial ran that morning.

So, at the end of the day, they wrote, "Quote: After the publication of this column, the author confirmed to the Dallas Morning News that she's a paid consultant of the Ina Hosse campaign. She did not disclose this at the time of submission or during the editing process. Our expectation is that readers be aware of all conflicts. Blah blah blah. Had we been aware of the conflict, we would have declined to publish it." We regret that we were not.

First off, that is an absolute cop out. I worked at a newspaper back in the day, back when I was in my early twenties. I had a newspaper column. That's how all this started. And there, you have a copy editor.

Your copy editor. Not only that, but your editor. When you get your editor gets this. When you get editorials like this, you have the editorial duty. And the expectation, and really, the professional requirement to double check and make sure that that person's not getting paid.

Do you know how easy it is? It literally took me sixty seconds. That's why everybody was like, "Wait a minute! What? All you have to do is just run their name through like Open Secrets or Transparency USA." And bada boom, bada bing, there she is, right there.

Cash and checks, big old checks from that campaign.

So that tells me one of two things, and they can one of two things. That's the only way that either of these things can exist. The first is that the editor and the copy editor are both completely incapable of meeting the professional expectation for this job, and they need to resign because. This is you. You know who you're running editorials like this for.

That is part of your job requirement.

So they failed to meet just the basic standard op. They failed to complete the basic standard operating procedure that happens when you run editorials like this.

So that's no excuse because they're supposed to know. You're actually you're literally journalists supposed to be. They're saying, "Well, we just take stuff from anybody and run it." They got to disclose it, and you know what? Because there's such a storied history of people refusing to disclose this stuff, that's why you have all of these editorial layers to prevent something like this from happening. Which brings me to the second possibility: you knew and didn't care because it's easier.

To just do it and ask for an apology later than it is to ask for permission in the first place.

So you you then ran it and you just didn't care because you knew it's one of the two. You're either completely so unbelievably embarrassingly unprofessional that you should resign, or you knew and you didn't care, or maybe both. But there's no other option here, and these are the people who love to position themselves as your moral butters. Wow, insane! This is crazy.

But that's how they ran it. Didn't they get bought off by like the same people who do, who did, who run the New York Times? I think. I think it's now the same company. But they did not, they did not disclose this.

They did not disclose it. They ran this. I'm a Republican op-ed. Suzanne Bell Schneider was the author, and she got a lot of money and consulting fees. And then after it was up, all after everybody already saw it, then they added the note.

Now there is yes a statute. It's a just a misdemeanor. It's not like a felony. This because it's not on airwaves, so this isn't. It's not the same thing as like a Paola sort of thing.

But technically, if it was found that that transparency was rejected in favor of making this a political stunt, then yes, technically it could be a misdemeanor under Texas code under our state statutes. But do you honestly think that they're going to investigate that? No, because people just expect that their media is trash. That's all it is. They just expect that it's trash.

Now there's a bunch of other stuff that we're going to get. We've also the decoy Dan stuff out of Alaska. They're still fighting this. The decoy Dan Democrats have been so shady. This is why turnout is so incredibly important.

All of the tricks that these people have been doing. Not only that. But you also have this story, and I told you that I think that this is so much about the. I think that so much of this is is about the demoralization of the voting bloc.

So I saw this over the weekend with Tucker Carlson, who I haven't spoken to. It's been over a year now since I've spoken to the last time we we spoke. We were in an argument about his. Misunderstanding of scripture and how it applied to certain political arguments. He was claiming that Benjamin Netanyahu was pushing Trump towards a nuclear strike on Pickaxe Mountain, and that Trump could decide by November seventh.

Now his sources, we don't know. He wasn't he the guy who said that all this that we that we were going to have like ten thousand boots on the ground and all of this stuff? Like the stuff that he has said before, none of it's actually ever come true. And everyone is saying that that is actually like a ridiculous thing. They they were talking about Trump doing strikes.

Everybody's been talking about that. You don't need to. You know, everyone's wondering when when and if that's going to happen. But what's interesting is that it's also starting to pull in Pete Hegseth.

So keep the Carlson thing on the burner here for a moment, because let me pull this story up.

So I saw this over a Daily Mail.

Well, actually, it's everywhere now.

Somebody's leaking from in the Department of Defense. I feel like if you are leaking about things that make America weaker, you are committing an act of treason. And Potus is—they are claiming that Potus is asking advisors whether or not Pete Hegseth and General Dan Cane should be fired after midterms. They say he's been quizzing allies on the performance of his defense secretary and his joint chiefs chairman, and listen to how they do this. They say, "Well, the two men who assured him that the war would be wrapped up well before the midterms." This is an operative story that was planted in the Daily Mail.

They say the fresh round of strikes could come within days of Tuesday's vote, and now what this article is trying to do, based on thin to nothing sourcing. Is they're trying to make Pete Hegseth the scapegoat, while simultaneously arguing that if Republicans do poorly this election, it's going to be because of Iran. That's this is what they're doing. They are trying so hard to make that the litmus test. And I have to tell you, there are enough dumbasses on the right that are buying into it.

And if I sound mean, it's because I don't care about making friends with everyone. I only care about saving the republic. Being honest, it is an absolute op. Why do I say that it's an absolute op? Because let's look at what else came out.

Apparently, Cutter got blown up in terms of information over the weekend. New publicly available foreign agent disclosure filings show Cutter recently paid a firm called GRV Strategies over a half a million dollars for media outreach. Huh? This is what's being reported. It said that the firm was pitching Fox, CNN, and NBC, and offered a "quote unquote" independent podcaster a meeting with Qatari officials.

Now, there's all kinds of stuff. There's stuff that's mentioned human events. They've there have been other people that have been mentioned. That people are talking about segment timing. There's a lot of stuff on social media about this.

It's been trending most of the weekend. None of this surprises me.

Now, some people say that it was just routine PR outreach. I think that that is a myopic hot take. I think it's a hell of a lot more than that. That's just what I'm reading. And remember, Cutter finances Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and apparently, it shows them reaching out to a lot of people.

Why would they reach out to people unless they thought they were going to find a friendly audience? That's kind of weird. And why is it always Cutter? And why is it always people in Carlson's circle? That's what's so.

I'm sure it's just all a coincidence, guys. And none of this means anything. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. The Carlson ties with Cutter. I'm sure it's just a coincidence with all of his stooges and his orbit.

All of these Qatari ties, and now all of this public, publicly available information, talking about someone from this media outlet seeking a meeting with a Qatari official, huh? Interesting. I'm sure it's just all completely coincidental, right? Like all the Hillary Clinton stuff was completely coincidental, right? All of her foreign lobbying and the influence that was brought up on the Clintons and Obama and Valerie Jarrett and everyone else.

I mean, I'm sure it's not like the exact same thing at all whatsoever. Just behind a veneer of being on the right, right? Hmm.

So putting this all on the table. It looks like they're targeting Hegseth, that faction that is trying to drag Trump away. Remember when Trump first started this? Trump was hot on going after Iran. He's hated Iran forever.

He has hated the regime. He has hated what they've done. He has hated the way that they have destabilized the Middle East and how they destabilized the energy market. And all of a sudden, it was very uncharacteristic that he was like pulled off, and then you got to see some of these other people within the administration start talking about, "Oh, we need to do peace talks," as though we haven't been doing those for decades. We need to do peace talks.

We need to do this instead. They drug it out. They took Trump off of the target, and they drug it out. I think it was done on purpose. Because I think that there are people on the right that need Trump to be tanked really, really hard this election, so that they can get a more authoritarian candidate in place and reshape the right.

And I think Carlson' his demoralization op is part of that. And I think some of these people did not expect all of these accusations about Cutter and these filings to become public. Very interesting. There's a lot of very interesting things that play here, and we are not even remotely done. We've got a lot more on the way as we roll towards headlines.

Prep can be about 99% effective in preventing HIV through sex when taken as prescribed, and it comes as a long-acting injectable, which might mean more time between doses.

Long Beach shut down its coastal waters after a sewage spill.

Well, wastewater pipe burst and dumped nearly thirty thousand gallons of nasty raw sewage.

So the whole what makes me think like how I just is it wrong for me to assume that like that whole area probably has some kind of sewage in it. I because this how often does this happen? This is like a problem that I swear to you, I we have a headline about this like every month, right? Yeah.

So it it kind of yeah, it sort of feels like that's happened all. I mean, this is like thirty thousand guys. We had another one a couple of months ago, was like something like almost the same, like twenty to thirty thousand. Nuts. Do does studying joy make people happier?

Apparently, happiness researchers are agreeing that one factor matters most. What? This is a goofy study. They looked at one point. They looked at thirteen scholars.

They looked at the founders of happiness. They had one point six million citations, and they said that happiness seems too fuzzy to study scientifically, and that they can't really. This is the like most worthless. Why? I'm done with it.

I hope nobody paid for it either, because basically they were like, "We don't know." Ultimately, I'm not even kidding. They're like, I don't know. There's like some different caveats, but an aging NASA telescope is expected to crash back to Earth in days. Finders keepers, man. If there's anything worth like salvaging off it, finders keepers.

I'm just calling dibs right now. Let's see. Michael Mann, who was behind the movie Heat, accidentally shot himself at a range. I don't know what happened behind it. I don't.

I didn't look into it. He's 83 years old. He was behind the film Heat that came out in like what the 90s. He was at a range in Los Angeles. It was.

A training accident. He accidentally shot himself in the leg. He was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, and I hope he recovers quickly. As we move, the folks who help make the program possible—it's our friends over at Preborn—they are saving women's lives, babies' lives every single day. Fifty over fifty thousand so far saved this year, and what they do.

As they go in to these, they they go to places where they know that women are going to be preyed upon by society, and they're facing unexpected pregnancies. And they meet these women where they are, and it's gotten harder to save babies and to counsel women because now you have telehealth. I mean, for crying out loud, three out of ten abortions happens through telehealth, and they can get abortion pills online, have them delivered right to the door, and then all this decision making process. When she feels overwhelmed and unsure of what to do, Preborn connects mothers with care. Mothers who are considering abortion can go to a Preborn Network clinic, and they can receive compassionate care, encouragement, and then they get a free ultrasound.

I've told you before; numerous studies have proven that when a woman meets her baby in an ultrasound, that baby's chance at life doubles. That's the power of that ultrasound. Twenty-eight dollars. Over fifty thousand lives have been saved so far this year, and that's all of them. Every single one of Those over fifty thousand started with a twenty-eight dollar ultrasound.

It's a gospel in action because they're not just providing that; they're counseling women in Christ, and they're also helping to provide support for the first two years of these babies' lives, so that these women don't turn into a statistic. They get started off on a strong foundation, and they become a success. Every Every gift counts. These clinics need help to continue providing free ultrasounds and reaching these babies before the mothers are making a decision about the lives of these babies. Twenty-eight dollars is one ultrasound.

Fifty-six is two. This is just—I mean—that's so little to save a life. Twenty-eight dollars provides one ultrasound. Two eighty can provide ten. Reach a mother before the abortion pill does with your generous gift today.

Dial pound two fifty. Say the word baby. That's pound two fifty. Say the word baby or. Preborn.

Please drink responsibly. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash. With you, we're at the bottom of a crazy third hour. It's election eve. It's only going to get nuttier, and we've got a lot to kick off with.

So our next guest, our very good friend, Mister. Stephen Yates, you know him from X at Steve Yates. He is a senior research fellow with the Heritage Foundation. He was in not one but two presidential administrations, consulting with his big brain, and he's also the host of Nation States with Yates, which you can find on X and wherever you get your podcasts. My good friend, always good to see you.

So we're going to go fast. It's going to be fire hose time because. There's a lot. All right, so I'm going to start with Poland. Poland, crazy because they ended up being plunged into this massive constitutional crisis, because the prime minister, Donald Tusk government, they were trying to apparently orchestrate like the way it was described by Newsmax is this judicial coup against the highest constitutional court, and there were street clashes and riot police and all kinds of stuff, and they had a one of the deputy.

Constitutional Tribunal President, he had to surrender, weeping and gnashing of teeth. Dogs and cats living together. What in the world is happening?

Well, I think it would be something familiar to the audience in the sense that this is the knife edge of the battle between the globalists and those who don't believe in sovereignty and the people who believe in culture, tradition, and national borders. This wasn't a migration issue, but it had a lot to do with sovereignty in that the EU was weighing in on a constitutional issue inside of Poland. That is sort of that supranational layer. That I think most of us are saying big no thank you to. And so, yes, it also gets animated with lawfare and clashes on the streets.

All the things we've come to expect from when the left strikes, and what do we have to do to try to push back? Yeah, there. I mean, it's this was insane. They ended up having the police that secured the building in Warsaw. They were blocking access.

There was demonstrations. This was it was a different type of protest than what we were seeing in like Milan and what we've been seeing in the streets of France and. And all of this over the weekend, but it really is. It does seem. That a lot of things are coming to a head, not just you know in in Europe, but also now in the West with the elections that are forthcoming, you know tomorrow.

And I kind of wanted to go. I'm going to like jolt from a lot of things here. I want to go from Poland to now we're here in the United States. We were watching this in Poland, which has been considered, you know, I know a lot of people have been holding it up as like one of the beacons of sort of Western jurisprudence or thought in that part of the world, and then now.

Now here we have a lot of races running very very too close for comfort, and one of the things that seems to be kind of like the specter in every single race is Iran, and I'm seeing. Potus, who I think you and I agree in the very beginning, he was exactly a hundred percent right on handling this. You know the exact way that he should. I feel like he was sort of pulled off course by people who I would say those are the nation-building neocons, if we're going to correctly use a term that kind of expired after the wall came down. I kind of think that that those people were sort of pulling him off of that.

We ended up getting mission creep, and now a lot of people are saying that. That's going to be the factor in these elections, from where you stand, and because you've been in there, you've had presidential ears before, and you know how tough it is. What is your assessment of of that issue on the election, and and what what should POTUS do? What should be the reaction?

Well, ultimately, I think he needs to do what he is actually better at than most presidents is. Are and time is short now, of course. But you got to seize the narrative back. I think the biggest problem over the course of this year is that the narrative seemed to get out away from the administration for a time, and a lot of what I think are false notions calcified among the electorate, either making them apathetic or to actually think that oh no, because we did this, prices are this way when the Fact of the matter is, prices are the way they are in the United States of America right now because we're still coming off of the catastrophic inflation high of the Biden administration, and so year-on-year increase rates have gone down. The president's policies are working, but it structurally takes a long time for that to change.

At the same time, there's this fight over the narrative over the price of gas, and we're on the right track on policy with that. Separate from whatever's going to happen with the trade. Of Hormuz, and I just don't think that the narrative has gotten exactly right. We are absolutely on an important course on policy. If you think things are expensive now, you've forgotten what reality was in the Biden years.

That was high without a war. And if we change course on policies now, energy, the border, tech, and this hemisphere, then we're catastrophically worse off financially. We've got the inflation bubble that's still inside us, and it just gets worse and re-inflated.

So that I think is the stakes. I don't think the president has gotten that narrative down in the last twenty-four hours. It's a A little bit late, but I do think he's done a lot of good. That people really need to stop, take a breath. This this war is not what's driving prices.

Productivity is going in the right direction. We just got a lot we're digging out from. Exactly. We're talking with our friend Stephen Yates. You can find him on X at Steve Yates, host of Nation States with Yates.

And that's really, I think, what you just said is like the perfect description for it because you know the way from from where I said everyone is making you know Iran sort.

Well, it's because of the situation with Iran and the pursuit of conflict in Iran has driven up all these prices. No, I mean we can't. Isn't it fair to say that we can go back even further? Like not building a refinery since 1977 has made Iran a player at this table. Not trying to be the net exporter of energy and achieving our full energy potential is what made them a player at the table and what is driving all of this.

Not the response to a geopolitical threat. That has promised to target us and has killed thousands of people. Absolutely, the the cumulative effect of harming ourselves because of the green new scam or whatever we want to call it, the the false theology of the sun god.

Sometimes I refer to it. That that has cost us a generation of productivity in some ways, and it's increased these prices. The president has flipped the switch fundamentally on policy and a lot of processes, and that is healing and improving. But it's going to take time for those new. Refineries.

It's going to take time for the new small modular reactors to be built and come online. It's going to take time for the right pipelines to be delivering things where they were meant to go. That we should have started a decade or more ago. I remember sitting in the in the West Wing in the the early part of the Bush administration with the Vice President lamenting how long it had been since we had permitted a new nuclear reactor in the United States, and that's absolutely pathetic because China and others run ahead. France has always run On nuclear, there was no good excuse.

We did this to ourselves. It put us vulnerable, exactly as you said. That's what's feeding these prices.

So we have to keep the policy change. If you throw President Trump's team out on its ear on policy, because you think, oh, my gas pump, well, you're going to pay more because they flip these switches back the other way. I'm curious as to your thoughts on the way that. You know, obviously, China. Everybody's watching what happens tomorrow, and we've seen.

I mean, heaven knows we've had enough foreign influence trying to influence people in this country, particularly the right in the lead up to these elections. What do our G, for instance, what does China look at if we end up losing our shirts tomorrow, and Democrats end up taking the House, and and say we lose this tonight? I think we can only lose like what two seats. How does China reposition itself? What is their reaction going to be?

Well, first and foremost, it then adds a degree of skepticism about whether a president who tries to make a deal with them can actually deliver on a deal, and they have some history to back up that notion. That's separate and apart from the personalities and record of President Trump. It's just if you look at the way things went in the Clinton years when Republicans took the Congress, in the Bush years when the Democrats took the Congress, and if you just look at this pattern, when there's divided government, the adversaries. Tend to draw out for time, and they don't show any sense of urgency on concluding deals or a belief that the administration can deliver a deal because the opposition in Congress says all kinds of things publicly to get in the way.

So that I think becomes a factor if that's the way the election plays out. I am an irredeemable optimist who is a deep pessimist about the reality of polls or betting markets or things like that. I. Still think that there's a good chance that we're going to hold the Senate in some of these key races, and I still hold out hope that maybe people will say, you know what, that Looney Tunes Congress before, I don't want to go back to that. Maybe I can just hold my nose and vote the right way.

Yeah, I hope that that's the prevailing thought. I really hope that people think that I'm getting a little nervous looking at some. But I also think that a lot of these surveys, I mean, obviously there's some that are better than others. They got they got it marginally. Correct by accident, I think a couple of them in twenty twenty twenty twenty four they were wrong.

Twenty sixteen they were wrong. Twenty eighteen it was still a little wobbly. I mean, it's just it's all over. You can't really. Everybody just needs to go out and vote because there's a lot of stuff at stake.

I'm going to give you the last word. What Because if you know we and I don't want to you know be doom and gloom and and and scare people and go and vote, but I really do think it's that unbelievably close. I mean, we would have impeachment palooza, all of the things that we have done in terms of foreign policy to really put America and keep America back on top. I think that you would have a Democrat Congress and a Democrat Senate that would undermine it, and then doesn't that just open the way for a Democrat to come in in 2028 because they can point at Trump's being a lame duck? Say well, that's more failure.

So now we need to just go all the way and have blue across board in twenty eight, and then I think that we would be past the point of no return in terms of America's strength and sovereignty on the international stage. And I'm going to get your assessment on that last word.

Well, fundamentally, just ask yourself: Do you think the Abraham Accords was a good initiative that got us out of a sort of stale funk about the approach to the Middle East? Do you think that the focus on our border in this hemisphere was a proper adjustment to, or do you want to let it go back to being run by Iran, Russia, China, the cartels, bringing all kinds of confusion and death into our country? Do you? Think that we want to use the resources that the good Lord endowed our country with, and just use them responsibly, or do you want to go back to switching off our own spigot and depending more on imports and technology from others? That's the broad directional change that this Trump adjustment has brought.

We can work and we can fiddle with the fine tuning of it, but that broad direction is survival or fatality. For our republic, in my point of view, and that's why I hope people sober up and make, I think, a wise choice. I hope so. I hope you're right.

Well, we'll know when we talk again next, my friend Stephen Yates. You can find him on X at Steve Yates Nation States with Eight Yates on X, or wherever you get your podcasts as well. And he's got a great piece out right now on Daily Signal too. I'm getting ready to retweet it. Always so good to see you, my friend.

Imported by Remy Cointreau USA Inc., New York, New York. Please drink responsibly. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man.

So I actually was waiting to see if anybody tried doing this. A Florida man blames his cyber truck, his self-driving cyber truck, for during a DUI arrest. That's not going to work. He was pulled over. The 53 year old in Florida.

The explanation came after he apparently his truck crossed into oncoming traffic and it forced him under the grass to avoid a collision. And he said that the police were overreacting to it and they were trying to submit, get him to do the breathalyzer, etc. But he said that no, no, no. He said that my cyber truck was driving. I wasn't driving.

My cyber truck was driving, and I'm I'm totally innocent. And in that, the police, the Eurogays are overreacting. He said, "No, no, no! It is a designated driver. It has a steering wheel."s He was trying to argue, I guess, the nuance of the law.

But yeah, he said that his phone, that was in the center console, was the key, and that the Tesla was driving him itself. But apparently, they they looked at the automated driving settings, and apparently, it looks like they couldn't confirm. What he was saying, but still, that's irrelevant. You are literally the you are in command of your vehicle. That's not going to get you out of.

A jam, especially if you go into oncoming traffic and hit somebody head on.

So it's already not fair, and also just like it isn't the most important thing. In the world, over someone's human rights, or getting to play, or being cool to people, so I am just like I don't know. I've won everything at every level, basically, and played, you know, in sort of every competition, and like I've just kind of like. I'm the one who can speak to it. Like I, I'm okay.

Gosh! Shut up, you stupid! I'm so done hearing you. I am so done hearing this little this Peter Pan. She looks like who is the chick that played Peter Pan at the Muni every year?

She was like fifty something years old. We're gonna no. We're gonna Google it. Hang on, lady. I'm doing this right now.

I'm done. Uh. There, she was like the older one. It was at the Muni. Remember that?

And I remember, like, how long is this lady thinking? How long is this lady going to be playing Peter Pan at the Muni? I can't remember. She was like an older lady. Maybe I don't remember.

She was an older chick who did it though, and I just look at Megan Rapinoe with her little Lord Fauntleroy haircut there, and. I'm just. I'm done with it. What? What does she do anymore?

She literally does nothing. Sandy Duncan. It was Sandy Duncan. Thank you, Sandy Duncan. Megan Rapinoe is in Sandy Duncan, Peter Pan territory with that whole simple Jack hair.

Is what it looks like. I'm just tired of hearing her talk. She doesn't do anything anymore. All she gets out there and does is like I'm mad about Duran's. She tunes out over.

People who over the same thing. She has no relevance outside of this. She wasn't good enough of a player to have better relevance than this. She wasn't. Get mad, but it's true.

I'm right, and everyone who disagrees with me is wrong. We all know this. I'm tired of it. I don't want to see any Meghan Rapino audio ever again, ever again, ever again. I'm so done with her.

She's uh, she's like, I can't wait for trans athletes. You know, sports isn't fair, etc. You got beaten by a high school boys soccer team in Dallas. It's going to lay that out there. We have more on the way, folks.

We're leveling up, bro. New phase, new experiences, and our taste is leveling up too. Mira tú, tres compas leveling up. Remy Martin 1738 Accord Royal. Hi, I see you.

And you can enjoy it your way, neat on ice or in a cocktail. Fags, bro. Let's raise a glass. Brindemos por los nuestros. Para arriba con los nuestros.

Remy Martin Cognac, fine champagne, 40% alcohol by volume, imported by Remy Cointreau USA Inc., New York, New York. Please drink responsibly. And now, all of the news you would probably miss—it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, Senator Chris Murphy was hospitalized after a stroke. This is Nancy Pelosi's best friend in the Senate. He was apparently at his son's hockey game, and this took place on Sunday. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered that he'd experienced a stroke. They transferred him to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring.

They said he's doing well.

Some were looking at him as a potential twenty-eight. Candidate, which I'm going to tell you now, was never going to happen even before this. But I mean, you want you want people to recover. You don't like you know nobody likes seeing anybody go through anything like that. I mean, unless they're terrorists, and then you know you're totally okay with it.

Let's see here. We also have this is an interesting exploration of VFW and different veteran organizations that are giving a lot of money to Democrats. There's a big deep dive about this on social media where they looked at it's the Veteran Action Group, and they were looking at through Open Secrets who was giving a lot of money, who was giving basically money to Democrats, etc. The thing is, these are individual gifts, though, by affiliates. It's not the actual organization itself, and people have to be really careful how they read stuff on Open Secrets because it—you can, as an individual or someone who's affiliated with the org or like an affiliate of the org—give, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the whole banner is giving.

It's just people underneath it. But I think it does go to show you that there's probably a lot of people in the organization that lean left, and that's. You know that's something else. Trump calls Elena Habba's 50 million dollar deal obnoxious. She married someone who's like 20 years her her junior, and apparently he POTUS found out that she was trying to put together a 50 million dollar deal for a presidential pardon.

He called it quote obnoxious and outrageous to the press over the weekend. Girl, guess what? Hey, what's up? I'm looking into prep for HIV prevention. Prep?
