The Truth About Trump's Israel Funding Halt

I like things my way—my coffee, my schedule, and my treatment.

So I talked to my doctor about self-injecting with the Vivgard Hyaluril pre-filled syringe, which contains Efgartigamad alpha and hyaluronidase QVFC. It's injected under your skin, subcutaneously. It means I can inject in my space, on my time. It's my treatment, my way. Visit VivgardMyWay dot com.

That's V Y V G A R T MyWay dot com, and talk to your doctor about Vivgard Hydrolo. Brought to you by Argenix. A vacation rental shouldn't come with surprises. It should come with Verbo Care and twenty four seven life support. If the hot tub's broken, that's a Verbo Care thing.

If my teenager starts calling me Leslie, that's a family thing, Leslie. Verbo Care and twenty four seven life support. If you know, you Verbo. Terms apply. See Verbo dot com slash trust for details.

Happy Election Day! If you have not gone out and voted, I'm going to go find you, drag you out of your house, and actually physically take you to the voting place myself. I may not be joking. I'm actually kind of serious.

So welcome back. We are going to get into the Senate races to watch, the House races to watch. We have a lot to unpack. It's a little chaos here. I also wanted to play really quickly.

POTUS like lit this off right from the top. He was talking about the FMF. This is cut two really quickly. If we could play cut two, I'm going to address it, and then we're going to look at the Senate races.

Now, as far as paying Israel, the Bibi Netanyahu and I have made a deal that we give Israel four billion dollars a year, and we made a deal months ago that we're stopping. And at at their, they're fine with it because you know they've become a very successful country that are needed. And we won't be paying any more Israel, so it's just a wasted thing because we've already agreed that by the end of this year we won't be paying Israel. And we'll help Israel if they need it. You know they've been a great ally, and we've been the greatest of all allies to many, many countries.

We've been great to many.

So, Mr. President, you're saying you now control four billion dollars worth of weapons. You now have total control, Brian. You have total control of the Harmo trade. Total control of the Harmo trade.

Nobody thought that was possible. Our navy, our blockade, our military is incredible. We make the best equipment. We have the people that know how to use the equipment the best. You know, it's very complex stuff when you go to the Patriots and the Tomahawks.

It's very complex. You have to. You need smart people to operate. Highly, highly technical. Unbelievable.

So this was interesting.

So this was Podus, who this was one of the things that he dropped in, and this is the foreign military financing, and we've been psyops. Into making this a big deal, along with Iran, into our elections, we've been psyop'd into it, and a lot of people who don't really understand what it is kind of I think repeat some of it.

So let me just put like the lay of the land out here. I actually don't think it's a good idea for the United States. I'm going to be very honest. I don't care how it affects anybody else. I look at again to use my Jeremy Clarkson imitation.

How does it affect me? That is what I look at this.

So this three point. Eight billion dollars. This—it's a memorandum of understanding. It's not cash, though. I need everyone to understand that we're not no one handed cash to Israel.

That's literally not at all what it is. It was literally credit tokens. It's like a line of credit that must be only used on U.S. made weaponry. We have over twenty thousand jobs, roughly, that have been created by this FMF.

There's there there are places in, in fact, Alabama. There's a great hub for it as well. Thousands of jobs created in Alabama, for instance, as a result of this.

So this was a memorandum of understanding that was actually authored under Barack Obama. I should add back in 2016. Renewed there, it goes through 2028, and it is a 3.8 billion dollar per year line of credit. It's the foreign military financing, and we have joint missile defense. Systems like Iron Dome.

So, what do we get out of it? We get a hell of a lot out of it. First off, we basically get half of the IP, if not.

Some things we get all the IP on. Other things we get we own half the IP. We've already put a ton of the stuff that has been developed into use in Venezuela. We got like helmet displays, you know, stuff for F thirty five s, tank defense, all kinds of stuff. And the other part of the agreement is that Israel is not allowed to sell anything that they develop.

So they work with the United States. And by the way, there is no mutual defense treaty. And no, you are not integrating the military. That is something that a retard came. Up with and decided to just defecate it into TikTok as a talking point, and then the Tucker Toadies start parroting it.

That it's that is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. There's no integration military. It's literally, hey, we have this thing. Israel's like, we'll scale it up. We own the IP of it, and we bypass hundreds of billions of dollars in R and D that was cut by previous administrations.

That Trump has been trying to restore, but it's a little difficult right now because of our economy.

So they. Scale it up, we end up owning half, if not all, the IP. They're not allowed to even; they can't even offer to work with or sell their equipment or weaponry to any other country without the United States' approval. For instance, Finland was looking at David Sling; they were very interested in acquiring and scaling up something like that for their own defense, and they couldn't do it until the United States had looked at it and signed off on it.

So that's one of the things that we would lose. They would have to have a partnership. Whether it's us, whether it's India. I mean, they're going to have to have a partner, but you have people over here who don't like to Jews, and they would rather see us lose out on all these technological advances and have to spend hundreds of billions of dollars that we don't have on scaling up and R and D instead of having the FMF. By the way, the reason that I know it's specifically about hating Jews is because we have tons of other FMF agreements with all these other countries.

Some of them are more, and not a single one of them, not a single one of the Tucker Toadies or the Marjorie Trader Greens or any. Else have said anything about it? They haven't even so much as farted in the general direction of those other countries with their FMMF agreements. That's God's honest hashtag fact.

So this idea, and oh yes, there are lots of them. There are a lot of other. Different foreign military financing agreements that we have. We have different. That we have, like Egypt.

My gosh, we send billions of dollars to Egypt. We send billions of dollars to Jordan. We send tons of money to Taiwan. We have Poland, NATO, the Eastern Flank, the Philippines. But the only one that people disagree with.

And by the way, we don't get to own. We don't have all of this. Say so in those other agreements the way that we do with Israel. But the only reason that people have problems with the FMM with Israel. Because the Jews—that's literally it.

Literally it. Like they—they don't even understand that it's a line of credit. We're not handing cash. I had someone try to argue with me.

Well, the issue is fungibility. No, you meant abortion. The issue is not fungibility. It's literally ROI. Without using AI or googling, none of these people could tell me.

Well, what is it that we actually? What? What is it that? What do you think that happens here? What can you tell me about all of the products that we actually own and that we're able to like use and has given us a major advantage in the battlefield?

Over right by the way, all of this stuff is ITAR controlled. That's it's all federally controlled. We the U.S. Defense Article specifically says that that Israeli IP becomes partially ours. We are able to come up with so many things: medium range interceptor capabilities.

We have drone interceptors. There are a hundred different companies across 26 states that are sustaining over 20,000 jobs. There are tons of industries that use this now. Israel can now they can do their own weaponry and they they can design and do their own jets and they don't have to wait on approval from the United States. And if they want to go out and what if China decides to make overtures and make a partner out of Israel?

Do you think that that's going to go work really well for us in terms of national security? What are we going to do? Where are we going to get the money for the R? To scale up the tech as quickly and efficiently as they do, none of these people can answer any of this stuff to me—not a single one. But it's—but hey, you got your digging onto Jews.

But let's go ahead and fund more with FMF agreements with other nations, and we have FMF agreements with Arab nations. But it's okay if it's Muslims, because the Red Green Alliance. I'm just being very, very, very caustically honest with you. That is the lay of the land. I mean, for cry not loud, the spike in LOS that was made in Israel doesn't use GPS at all.

It has cameras that it uses for advanced imaging. I mean, there's so many things that we have: the Kratos, the low cost interceptor. That's something that's up for collaboration. The laser cannon, the iron beam. It's amazing the stuff that we've been able to do.

We co-developed David Sling with us with Israel, and also too, they have to when Finland was doing. They had to literally use. It was our U.S. foreign agency. They had to get a number of lawmakers, a number of different agencies, to even sign off—not even on the acquisition, but even discussions of the acquisition.

We're losing all of that. We're going to give all of that up. That's it. I hope people are happy. Like, look, I don't care about how it affects anybody else.

I only care about how it affects the United States. We used it in Venezuela. We absolutely—we've used it in Iran already. We it it's it's been a absolute net positive for the U.S., and that's a fraction of what it has cost for one early learning center. We pay more for Medicaid and entitlements and everything else than we do on this.

We have FMF agreements with other nations that are far more than this, and don't even have all of the oversight and restrictions that that exists with this one. But hey, Tucker Carlson told all of the circle fapping clowns out there to go ahead and hate Jews.

So I guess that makes it okay, right? Good job, good job to dunk on yourself. People can get mad at me all they want to, and they can blow it out their ass. I don't care. This is the truth of it.

And if you don't like how forthright I am, if you don't get angry over foreign psyops that are actually having a negative impact on your country and your national security, if you don't get mad over that, what are you saving your righteous indignation for? You can do everything right for your health, but if you're missing key nutrients, you may be leaving your body without the support that it needs.

So that's where cowboy colostrum comes in.

So colostrum is often called Liquid gold—it's the first nutrition produced after birth, naturally containing peptides and growth factors.

Now, these nutrients help support your gut health and your immune system. Cowboy colostrum captures the natural goodness of first milking colostrum from grass-fed cows and is ethically harvested only after the calf has received the colostrum that it needs. Cowboy colostrum has no fillers, no unnecessary additives, and it's a very simple way to add nutrients. Your everyday wellness routine. The chocolate, the vanilla, the strawberry flavors all make it super easy to mix into your hot or cold drink of choice.

And for a limited time, you can get twenty five percent off your entire order at cowboycolostrum. dot com slash thedana show with code thedana show. That's cowboycolostrum. dot com slash thedana show. Use the code thedana show for twenty five percent off your entire order.

Tell them you heard it here. Your support makes a difference. Hey y'all! It's Lauren La Rosa, and y'all know I always have the latest.

So on my new audio series Love Lately, I'm getting into the conversations we're really having about love, relationships, and our sexual health. Every week, it's me and Dr. Contessa Metcalf, my big sister with a medical degree, breaking down what the culture says versus what the doctor says, and helping make sense of it all. Get into it. Another thing me and my friends don't really talk about is like how you're having conversations with people about getting tested.

I'll be honest, so many women don't feel comfortable talking about it, and they don't feel comfortable advocating for themselves. But let's go ahead and just put you in a position to where you can kind of empower yourself, and it it isn't something. It's not a judgment thing. It brings that peace of mind that y'all can just do what y'all do and have a good time. Yeah.

I say, get tested together, and that's beautiful. Brings you closer together. Listen to Love Lately with Lauren La Rosa from iHarts Ruby Studio on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Brought to you by Gilead Sciences. I think Rogers may bring it home for Michigan.

It has been really crazy. You know what? I have to thank you, Chunk Uger, Uger Chunk. I have never seen such a self-own in my life. You know, right when Abdel El Sayed was trying to get away from the Muslim Brotherhood stuff, that tubby turd comes in and drops this ad and just links him right back, puts the Muslim Brotherhood and all that stuff right back in the headlines and creates an inescapable situation for El Sayed because Chunky Ugar has the political acumen of a turd.

So this was.

So you are—he might be. Who's going to be the MVP loser of the night? It may be him.

So we're going to have some fun categories for you guys tomorrow too. Let's play though. Couldn't have done it either without Hassan Piker. This is cut ten. They're so mad about Haley Stevens.

I want you to listen to what the spokesperson for the DNC, Hassan Piker, big fundraiser and best friend of Abdul El Sayed, what he has to say here. Cut ten. But imagine if Haley Stevens came out and made that demand. Imagine if Haley Stevens came out for months and said, "Sorry, Abdul, you really have to be in favor of a full-blown abortion ban." Would the media cover it in the same way? Would the media lend credence to this argument, or would they treat her as a r*cker and as a spoiler?

Making ridiculous demands like a petulant child. Wow, he went on a really bad. He doesn't like Haley Stevens, I think. I get that he doesn't like this. He's uh huh.

Yeah, Abdul was getting angrier and angrier. That's very interesting, fascinating stuff. What gets me though is why is this? This is weird. This is Megyn Kelly on cut eight.

Let's play cut eight because I'm tired of the APAC stuff. Let's go ahead and play this.

So you got it. Tucker's got to be condemned. Abdul's got to renounce his own rhetoric on the subject of Israel, a foreign country that is not the United States of America that has been behaving very controversially, and it is fine to have negative opinions about, just like we do about our own government. Hello, hello. He's got to disavow allow his earlier comments, and I'm sure it all has nothing to do with the fact that Haley Stevens has received 39 million dollars from APAC, which is the lobby, the lobbying group supporting Israel and its interests.

39 million dollars.

So I think that the two. Offenses that Haley Stevens suffered that caused her to.

So first off, I get that you know when you don't have that built-in Fox support, you got to go get your audience from somewhere, and there is this huge. Like rush from some of these like former Fox News people to they're trying to get eyeballs, and I think that they're trying to play into this like gory or nonsense because they think that that's going to be a shot in the arm for their audience, and it just looks dumb.

So let's address the Apex thing first off. I need people to understand what this. If you're going to dislike something, dislike it based on a base a knowledge set. Right. By the way, this is one of the reasons why I do not have people prepare packets of information for me.

So I never sound like that.

So I actually sound informed, and I'm not just reading stuff that people like staple together for me on a sheet. That is literally a group of Americans that advocate for. American interests, and they think that working with them on technology advancement and counterterrorism and cyber warfare, and having that alliance is beneficial for the national security of the United States. I agree with that. What is wrong with people who want to use their free speech to advocate for that?

Notice that none of these Fox News groupers have ever at all said anything about care spending tons of money, millions of dollars on Canada. It's this election. Care has spent tons of money on Abdul El Sayyed, but they're Muslim. They're not Jews, so I guess it's okay. It only gets clicks and it's only hot if you hate on Jews.

That's what it's all about. If you got clicks hating on Muslims, they would flip on that in a hot second, and that's God's honest fact.

So this, I the ignoring of all of the money that Care has spent on all of these candidates in this election cycle, the fact that that's ignored is hysterical, and it goes to show you exactly. What the intention is here and the purpose is here.

So, this idea that everybody's owned by APAC—I'm so tired of hearing this mental abortion, like proffered as a talking point. One other point for this: this is cut nine because I don't know who dislikes Haley Stevens more, Meghan Kelly or Hassan Piker. I don't know. He ejected her. He does not want her to come to his unity event.

Who could blame him? Can you imagine if you had? Won the primary over this mini, and she was like, "I'll go to the uni event as long as you say the following five things exactly as I want you to." Off, you lost. That's what I'd be saying too. And then she changes it to to his sin wasn't ejecting; it was injecting.

What injecting? What I'm anger and lack of kindness toward her.

So. She's mad because Haley Stevens. They wanted to use Haley Stevens at a unity event to help paper over their ridiculousness. The Democrats in Michigan and Haley Stevens. She had some.

She had some requirements in order to make that happen, which she holds the power here. By the way, and they just allow her to hold the power because they don't know how to deal with her. It's Abdel El Sayed's fault that he's in with the Muslim Brotherhood. It's Abdel El Sayed's fault that he literally gets financed like campaign donations from one of the unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial, terror trial. That's his fault.

It's his fault that his name is in a phone book along with Hamas terrorists that were found in in Muslim Brotherhood in the were found in a Hamas terrorist's house in Virginia. That's his fault. It's his fault that he cannot disavow. His radical Islamism—that's his fault. That's not Haley Stevens' fault.

Haley Stevens doesn't owe it to anybody to come up and and paper over their offenses. She doesn't owe it to anyone to come and make and and and correct all of their errors and fix all of their mistakes. She absolutely has the upper hand in that and say no, no, no. That's the difference. People need to realize this.

You can make demands when you have that type of outsized influence, and they've given her that outsized influence because they've treated her the way that they did. They made her. It's Frankenstein's monster for people who don't understand this dynamic in politics. She has that influence. She has that right.

Girlfriend can ask WTF she wants, and if you don't like it, you can blank off. All right.

So we have more. I wanted to get. This cut from Mike Rogers. This is cut twelve, guys. I'm going to tell you why are we why are we talking about this kind of stuff in a midterm?

Because after tonight, we're going to know how much of a role this is going to play in 28. That's why. Watch this. I see it, because I see it on campuses here where the rhetoric is causing huge problem. The next generation of kids thinks it's really cool.

To be against the Jews, but what are we doing? He's not wrong. I've been having discussions with my kids about this. This is an absolutely true thing, and I think a lot of it is—it's really—it's social media. It's the outsized influence on social media from China, from Qatar, and we're allowing our geopolitical foes to program our youth, program our youth against allies.

I'm hearing the same stuff that you know I was reading about in the history books that happened in the 30s. It's the craziest stuff ever, like the stuff that they're talking about right now with the FMM, and and they're trying to use that as a way to kneecap Trump. You realize that, right? These people want to kneecap Trump because people like him stand in the way of more authoritarian's. More authoritarian type politicians from rising in the GOP, so they have to utterly destroy him as not being hardcore authoritarian enough.

That's what part of this is. That's why I say one of the reasons we talk about this in context with midterms is because it has an outsized influence in midterms. They've been trying to psyop the conflict with Iran and act like and kneecap the administration over that. It is a real problem. With the youth, and the youth today, I got to tell you, every generation has had a really difficult time.

You had the greatest generation that put up with a lot of stuff. You had the generation before them, the silent generation. My gosh, look at all all that they saw. You had the Great Depression. You had World War One.

Everything. Same thing with the with the greatest generation. Gen X, we saw it with our. My parents are Boomers. I'm Baby Gen X, so I'm literally in the final year of Gen X, but I claim it all the same because I will literally cut you open from stem to stern if you call me Millennial, rhetorically speaking.

But Gen X, we saw the complete breakdown of the American family. We learned what it was like to come home to a dark, cold, and empty house, and kind of raise ourselves. We knew what it was like to make our own dinner in the microwave. We knew what it was like to not have a parent in the stands cheering us. We grew up with all the cynicism in the world.

We grew up with with a lot of resentment, and then we were completely forgotten. We were the ones that we didn't start off like I didn't have the internet when I was in junior high, but by the time I was in high school, I literally was doing getting email and doing stuff like that. I mean, literally, we acclimated to all of it, which is why I think Gen X is like the healthiest generation. We're also super suspicious of any kind of authoritative anything. We are the Red Dawn generation.

We're the generation that started seeing all of the real politic. Morph into the digital sphere, and we could recognize it. We we were outside of it enough in our youth that we could see it as we grew with it.

So we didn't fall for some of the stuff like millennials and Gen X did or Gen Z did.

So Gen X, we I mean we have a lot of rage. We saw what we saw them make college unaffordable. We saw what, and and it's not. By the way, I reject the fact that it's like the boomers that did this, or it's this generation. It's the left, and the left is trying to bait you into generational warfare to get themselves off the hook, and you have a lot of these dilly bar heads out there that are like ooh, and they go right along with it.

It is the left, and there's leftists in Boomer generation. There's leftists in Gen X. There's leftists in Millennials. There's leftists in Zoomers. Nobody knows what the hell's going on with Alpha.

They could be eating glue by the time they're ten. We don't know. We'll see what happens. Just keep an eye on them. But my whole point is that they're baiting you for generational warfare.

Every generation has had a tough time. This generation that thinks that they've had it the toughest, and look, it sucked. Gen X, we've been the Qui Gon Jins for you. Of the Star Wars comparative trilogy of of this whole thing, we've advocated for you. We have voiced the same opinions about things, but we also are realistic, and we're not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

We see what the country needs, and we're willing to take the steps to do that. And we just need all the other generations to just stop navel gazing for half a second. We had to. I know what it's like. We navel gaze too.

Don't get me wrong. But every generation has had its own mountain to climb. You got to learn how to ascend. Got a lot more on the way as we roll towards headlines. Our partners that help bring you the program, it's the folks over at Superbeats now.

With CoQ10, I take these every day. But now they have the Super Beats Super Beats Heart Choose Advanced. It's about supporting blood pressure, healthy blood pressure, circulation.

It's Lauren La Rosa, and y'all know I always have the latest.

So on my new audio series Love Lately, I'm getting into the conversations we're really having about love, relationships, and our sexual health. Every week, it's me and Dr. Contessa Metcalf, my big sister with a medical degree, breaking down what the culture says versus what the doctor says, and helping make sense of it all. Get into it. You know, the thing me and my friends don't really talk about is like how you're having conversations with people about getting tested.

I'll be honest, so many women don't feel comfortable talking about it, and they don't feel comfortable advocating for themselves. But let's go ahead and just put you in a position to where you can kind of empower yourself, and it it isn't it's not a judgment thing. It brings that peace of mind that y'all can just do what y'all do and have a good time. Yeah. I say, get tested together, and that's beautiful.

Brings you closer together. Listen to Love Lately with Lauren La Rosa from iHarts Ruby Studio on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Brought to you by Gilead Sciences. So this is a really interesting soundbite, and welcome back. It's election day, midterm election here, and we're going over here momentarily some of the House races you need to watch because honestly, it's very close.

We can only stand to lose, like what two seats? And yeah, it's. Can only stand to lose about two seats. We're going to go over some of the House races that could, I mean, actually decide all of this. And we're going, we're covering over some of these Senate races as well.

And there is, there's, it's just we, it's just going to be, it's firehose time. But I wanted to play this audio soundbite. This stands out to me for a couple different reasons.

So this is. Honestly, I said second, but I went. Was going through my notes. I always do notes of things that are trending or that are kind of popping off in the morning, and it looks a little interesting. And with this, this is like the third or fourth time in the past forty-eight hours that I've seen "poop booty juice." I'm using Biden's pronunciation, so don't give me no, don't give me nothing on it, because you're going to make.

Don't you make fun of his stutter? Anyway, he has. He obviously he has 2028 ambitions. What's really weird to me is they're making him Democrats. There is, I think, an organized effort to make him look like the moderate, like they're trying to plan something for 28 already.

I am so I am so suspicious. Never more so on election day. Everyone's a plant to me on election day. Anyway, I want you to watch this because he was being asked about Abdul El Sayed. And his association with Hassan Piker.

I went listen. Just listen to this exchange. Don't you think some of the comments that you've seen, or some of the the association with Hassan Piker that El Sayed has, wouldn't that be disqualifying for you? Because everybody comes on and says, "No, it's a big tent, and I want to win 51 seats in the Senate," and they they're really holding their nose in in some of these races. And I'm just wondering, would would you distance yourself?

At least from his comments or his association with Hassan Piker, not. I mean, he's disavowed it after the primaries were over. He's disavowed some of his positions, but not really Hassan Piker himself, Mayor Pete, Secretary Pete. Yeah, the answer to your question is is yes.

Well, should he be? Disqualifying, yes, his association should be. The rest of the party doesn't think that though. And here's the thing: you're never going to go anywhere in the Democrat Party until you get on that bus. The DSA is running the Democrat Party.

The woke Reich, the post-constitutionalists, they want to recreate the DSA on the right. They want to run the right the same way. They're the right's version of the DSA. That's the Tucker Carlson's, the Gayle Sharptons. It's all those people.

And it's interesting the fights that they pick. They lose though. When they go to the ballot box, they lose. The right constitutionalist leaning side of the country, their immunity kicks in, and it's very interesting to see this.

So, a couple of things. Let's look at some of these races.

So, we were looking at Alaska. There's a great piece that Lorraine has up at Chapter and Verse right now that gets into the latest with Alaska and Decoy Dan, and this is um mm mm. It is really crazy that it went that long, that it was going this far, and Voters are—it's on the ballot, and voters are confused. I'm like, there's so many steps to get your name on the ballot, and I just don't know why there wasn't more of an effort before to keep this decoy Dan's name off of the ballot. But one of the things that Lorraine's post notes is that Mary Palotola's campaign—they, I mean, this woman is involved.

There's no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

So what does that mean?

Well, it's not going to mean anything till after the election. The damage is done. That's they don't care. They don't care if anything happens after the point. They just want the confusion and the chaos, and they want to kneecap any kind of victory before.

That's what this is all about.

So that's the first thing.

So some of these other races, because I told you, with the House, you really, we can only afford a loss of two seats. Any more than that, if we lose three or more seats, that means Democrats take the majority. We have to have two hundred and eighteen, right? And the currently the way it is right now, I mean, we have a razor thin working majority, is what they call it. Working majority, it's two twenty to two fifteen, and we have a couple of independents that caucus with Democrats.

And there are a couple of vacancies, so Democrats have to gain three seats to hit 218. We can only lose two to maintain the 218 seat like majority or tie, right? But a loss of three or more, and you're going to be seeing a Democrat Speaker of the House tonight. That's what will happen. And I don't, I'm not looking at like the projections like on Cowshy and Polly Market because I think that can be gamed.

But some of these races, the House races to watch on this, there are several, and it is. I'm just saying, I'm a little nervous. I'm just you know, just saying, I'm a little nervous.

So we've got some states that have been thrown into toss-up or leans Dem, like in North Carolina. They were trying to get a new map, and there were they were Republicans were looking at the. Incumbent Democrat, two-term Democrat Don Davis, who is in their first congressional district, and he's starting to do very well there. Cook rates it though as a toss-up. Sabato's crystal ball gives the Democrat an edge, but he's known as, according to operatives in the state, he's known as being a moderate Democrat, which I think you kind of have to be in some of these states, like.

Think of a Joe Manchin type, right? Like one of those type of guys. But there's been a lot of there's been it's hasn't been it's still a contested race. It's still a battleground state, Pennsylvania. They have four battleground districts where they have four incumbents that are fighting to keep those seats.

And we can't again. You can't. What did I say? You can't lose any more than if you lose three more, that's it. That's it.

One of them is very challenging. That's the seventh district. Then you have the eighth congressional district, the tenth. All of those right now.

Some of them you have McKenzie, Brushnan, and then you have Perry. There, according to Cook and Sabato, those are leans Dem. In the first district, you have Fitzpatrick. Cook has rated his race as a toss up. The Democrat has the edge, but still, it's so close, razor thin, so within the margin of error that Fitzpatrick could potentially turn that out in Iowa.

Democrats have been trying to target Republican incumbents in Iowa. The only thing that's going to make that a reality for them in Iowa is if they have a turnout that's greater than what they had in 2024 and in 2020, and On trend, it's not looking that way.

So we'll see. Florida, can you believe it? Remember, Florida was a swing state. It only went super red under DeSantis because DeSantis, who is the best conservative governor in the country. And that the way that they handled elections, the way they handled flipping the state, the way they handled paying down debt and making sure that their budget was in the black, should be a blueprint for the rest of the nation.

But you had too many butt hurt, super sensitive, sour grapes Republicans who were who care more about their own ego than they do the health of the nation, and a lot of people just sort of disregarded them. But the way that they have it in Florida, there is. They had they were looking to flip four Democrat seats with their house map with redistricting, and they think that they're going to be able to get some of those flipped. Although one in the ninth district, that one is that is Representative Darren Soto. He is predicted that's Democrats.

He's predicted to lose his seat. That's going to be one of the seats that Republicans think that they're going to pick up, and that has to do a lot with the redistricting.

So the RGV. We were the first Republican state in Texas to redraw redraw our map this cycle, and we wanted to pick. We wanted to flip five Democrat seats that were in the South, particularly where we have our KURV affiliate down in McAllen, Texas, and the RGV. And the party made a lot of inroads with Hispanic voters in 2024, and so all of the new redistricting was specifically designed to. Take advantage of that, and let's see.

We already see the shift has already helped.

So I think Quayart is going to survive his redistricting process. This is it's it's going to be tough. This is going to be tough, even with the redrawn map.

So we're ever a lot of people for the house races. They're looking down to the southern part of Texas. You have, let's I mean we could sit here and go on and on and on and on. There are a lot of races. Michigan, Michigan's seventh district, that's the seat held by Elisa Slotkin.

She jumped to the Senate. She was replaced by Tom Barrett, who is a kind of a moderate Republican. It's a lot harder in some of these super blue areas to be a more like a Texas type Republican. You. Have to be a you have to be a moderate Republican to get it, but they caucus with Republican Party and he'll be a reliable vote.

So Democrats are hoping to make him a one-term lawmaker. They've got a super ridiculous like green dude, William Lawrence. He was he's a DSA candidate. Oh, he just very conveniently right before he filed decided I'm just going to disassociate with the DSA, but the association's still there.

Sorry, your DSA plant. He's one of those super enviro greenies, and then of course they think he's just. I mean, it's a purple district, but he is so far left that there are Democrat voters. I think he's too far left for their purple seventh district.

So that could be. I mean, he's a DSA guy.

So there you got Virginia, and then I'm going to look at the Senate real quickly here because it's not just. Texas. You also have Iowa. You have Ashley Hinson. She's been.

It's been a little tough in Iowa because Iowa, they're upset over the cost of diesel. They're upset over the cost of fertilizer, and that's something that Republicans, they have distanced themselves from POTUS. Honestly, they haven't done a lot of races. This is something that even conservative organizations have written about. But they are very.

It's a. It's a. It's closer than what we're. Seeing in this race with Henson, it's closer than what you're seeing in Texas and Ohio and in Michigan, etc. Because agriculture has such an outsized role in Iowa's economy, so that's one of the things that makes it a little bit different.

Kansas is another one: diesel fertilizer. It's very similar in that regard. And then you've got let's see, obviously Texas with Tarico and Paxton. I think Paxton. I I think Paxton's going to pull that one out.

In Maine, you have Susan Collins. She is she Susan Collins might be a moderate Republican that infuriates everyone, but I will tell you she's very savvy when it comes to electioneering, and she knows how to win tough races. Never, there's a saying that they have: always beware of old soldiers. Always beware of politicians that have been there for forever too, because there's a reason why. Never underestimate them, and then of course we just spoke about Alaska, and then Ohio is very interesting.

Sherrod Brown, I'm sorry, Sherrod Brown's a jackass. This man, when I one time when I went to an event, and I was going to interview him back. This was back in like 2012. I was going to interview him about his support for Obamacare being a determining vote. Back in 2010, he screamed in my face, pointing his finger in my face, and my friend got it on camera.

I'm not talking to you, and that's when I worked with Andrew Breitbart, screamed in my face. I have not forgotten that.

So I, and it was in front of a whole auditorium of people. That's a fact. I have not forgotten his unprofessionalism and his hot-tempered nature.

So, not a fan of Sherrod Brown. He looked at one point like a promising VP candidate. They were they were grooming him for a little bit. He lost to Moreno in twenty four. That's when Trump carried Ohio by over eleven points.

And he's the incumbent right now is John Huston. John Huston is a great vote. They've been attacking him for. I mean, they've been putting a lot of money. Democrats have been.

So now they're within the margin of error. And that's a race that could go to Brown. Preborn is a great organization that saves babies' lives. They've saved over fifty thousand lives so far this year. Actually, well over fifty, and they want to save more.

And the way that they started, the way that this works, is with one free ultrasound. They meet women where they are. Women that are hearing all kinds of things from society, like they can't, they can't say, they can't raise a baby on their own. They can't. They just need to make a an easy decision to abort.

Well, Preborn. Steps in, they counsel these women. They meet them with love and support and compassion, and they offer them the opportunity to meet their babies before making any type of life-changing decision. And that ultrasound is powerful because, for the most part, when a woman hears her baby's heartbeat, that baby's chance at life doubles, and that's why they're able to save so many lives. And they don't just stop with a ultrasound.

These are great stewards in Christ to our fellow man, and they don't get USAID money. This is all private donation. They work with these. Women for the first two years of these babies' lives to make sure that they don't become statistics and they get started on the right foot. It's a gospel in action, folks.

Twenty-eight dollars is one ultrasound. Fifty-six dollars is two. Eighty-four dollars is three. Think about it. You could be saving lives for under two hundred dollars.

You could save five lives. That's insane. That's that's a a gift that matters. Storing up treasure in heaven. Twenty eight dollars is all it takes.

That's where it starts. One ultrasound, and you can reach a woman before the pill does the abortion pill because you have to remember so many of the stuff is done telehealth now. Reach a woman before the abortion industry does. Use your generous gift today, doll. Pound two fifty.

Say the keyword baby. Pound two fifty. Say the word baby, or visit preborn dot com slash dana. Hey y'all! It's Lauren La Rosa, and y'all know I always have the latest.

So on my new audio series, Love Lately, I'm getting into the conversations we're really having about love, relationships, and our sexual health. Every week, it's me and Dr. Contessa Metcalf, my big sister with a medical degree, breaking down what the culture says versus what the doctor says, and helping make sense of it all. Get into it. Another thing me and my friends don't really talk about is like how you're having conversations with people about getting tested.

I'll be honest, so many women don't feel comfortable talking about it, and they don't feel comfortable advocating for themselves. But let's go ahead and just put you in a position to where you can kind of empower yourself, and it it isn't something. It's not a judgment thing. It brings that peace of mind that y'all can just do what y'all do and have a good time. Yeah.

I say, get tested together, and that's beautiful. Brings you closer together. Listen to Love Lately with Lauren La Rosa from iHeart's Ruby Studio on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Brought to you by Gilead Sciences. I don't even know how he's sitting and so calm.

I guess he's not. We're like going over data and looking to see what the temperature is at all these polling places. And you got Texas Governor Greg Abbott just chilling. You know, he's sitting there. He'll look at his phone.

I'm sure he just says one word and it's done. And he is. You know, I feel really. He's the one guy who's making me feel really confident about today. I got to say, Governor Greg Abbott from the great Republican Texas, sir.

It's good to have you. Thanks so much for joining us. And I I feel good about everything. For I mean, for your race, you are the bright spot in tonight. I have to say, we feel confident because you've done such a good job for Texas on behalf of Texans.

So thank you.

Well, let's. I feel good about today in general, and let me tell you why. What I do is I don't look at polls. I talk to people, and I've been crisscrossing the state talking to people, and I got a feel for the way things are going. And people are very.

Concerned about the far radical leftists who are on the ballot. I mean, just look at my opponent. Who, as governor, she would be in favor of open border policies, sex changes for kids, sanctuary cities. She even voted for an income tax in the state. I mean, how outrageous!

That's insane. No, I mean, I am not going to run you governor, but I won't. I, I, I moved here in twenty thirteen from Missouri, and I love my home state. But I don't love the pay cut that it would require because they have a state income tax. That's insane.

I mean, that is a proposal that would take so much money from working families' pockets all across Texas. It's insane that it was even proposed. Exactly. Talk about an unaffordability agenda that that would crush our economy.

So, listen, Texas ranks number one in America as the best state for doing business. Number one for jobs. Get this: since I've been governor, Texas has added. 2.6 million new jobs. That's more than the population of Dallas and Fort Worth combined.

Yes, and these are people, and their paychecks are larger than they've ever been. The poverty rate has gone down, crime has gone down, our our neighborhoods are safe. We once again have a secure border in the state of Texas. There's so much going right in the state of Texas. We cannot have these far radical leftists take over, and that's why I feel confident because I know that Republicans will turn out.

In droves today, and make sure that not only do I get reelected, but they will elect Republicans up and down the ballot. Yes, and that's that's incredibly important turnout. Everybody's a little nervous about it. Everybody's looking at Texas because without Texas, I mean, we don't get the White House. I mean, Republicans aren't competitive across the state, and we've seen a lot of effort.

I have to bring up this one quick story, and then we're going to talk about Sharia Governor. But I saw with the Dallas Morning News, for instance, and how they. This editorial from someone who turned out to be an actual paid operative by your opponent's campaign, and it wasn't disclosed for like all day until three o'clock when they finally put up an editor's note. You're used to dealing with this, but I just don't know how far that's going to go, Governor, in in deceiving voters. Listen.

It truly represents what my opponent's campaign is all about, and that is fraud. She's a fraud. She's a fake, and so is the Dallas Morning News. And they got caught red-handed in what they were doing, and all of them should be embarrassed. But most importantly, listen.

When a candidate running for governor thinks they can fool the voters, they pay the price every single time, and that's exactly what's going to happen tonight with Gina Hinojosa when she loses because she is a fraud. She's been lying every step of the way. She lied about her vote in favor of an income tax in the state of Texas, and voters voters have had it with her, and that's one reason why I will be reelected for another four years. We're talking with Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Governor, one of the things that I was looking at was the crime rate.

In cities like Fort Worth, Dallas, even going down to McAllen, Texas, in Houston, and a lot of this, the precipitous drop in violent crime and also drug crime. There's a massive drop in drug crime, according to all federally available data. John Lott also has a separate piece where he was looking at this, and a lot of it is being attributed to your work with the president in making sure that our border has been closed. Your opponent wants to reopen that border. That Would send those crime rates surging.

Your thoughts on this? And and listen, this is important because voters need to understand that even if we do have a Republican House and Republican Senate, it's the governor who will have oversight of border policies. And what my opponent has stood for are are Gavin Newsom type border policies that would pose no barrier to illegal entry, would turn Texas into a sanctuary city. Which, by the way, my opponent voted for sanctuary cities, and so we we got to make sure that we. Got a governor in office who's going to keep our community safe.

Let me tell you one more story about this, about how my opponent voted, and that is, I passed laws that would crack down on the pushers of fentanyl that have led to the death of too many Texans, and my opponent voted against that. My opponent voted in favor of those who are selling and distributing fentanyl, as opposed to the victims of that. She is one of these Democrats who stand for letting criminals loose, letting them out of jail on easy bail, only to cause more crime. Texans want safe communities and secure borders. The only person on the ballot who will deliver that is myself.

Gina would eliminate all of that and pose great danger for the future of Texas. And one of the other big. Debates on Sharia because you've done a lot on for Texans as it relates to purging Sharia law.

Now a lot of people they're shocked when I mention this. This is this was like 2013, 2014, right when we moved here. Governor down the down the road from our studio where we are. Actually, I was at the Blaze at the time in Irving, and in that town, that's where a father had committed an honor killing of his two beautiful daughters, teenage girls, because they had become too Westernized. He went on the run.

They finally apprehended. And brought him in for justice. He was convicted, but then it was discovered that the community was supporting him, and then there was a lot of expressions of well, Sharia. You know, in Sharia law, they were trying to establish a Sharia court. And you remember Congresswoman Alba Van Dyne, who was mayor at the time.

She took a lot of heat for that. I wanted to get your thoughts because people think that it can't happen in their state. It's already been happening in Texas. We've been fighting Sharia. What have you been doing to help Texans on that front?

So let let me tell you what I've been doing, and also let you know that my opponent is directly opposed to what I've been doing. Yes, she is opposed. And and so listen, I signed a law banning Sharia law in our courts. I signed a law banning Sharia compounds and Sharia communities like Epic City, and we shut down things like Epic City. I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Care as foreign terrorist organizations.

My opponent is against all of those. My opponent is in favor of Sharia law. My opponent has been endorsed by Care, one of these terrorist organizations, and so this is a huge difference in the campaign. I know there are many people in Texas, especially up there in the DFW area, that are very concerned about the spread of Sharia. Listen, we're going to when I'm reelected, we're going to have a total ban on Sharia law in Texas.

If my opponent is elected. If the Texas House and Senate vote to ban Sharia law, my opponent would veto that law. If you care about banning Sharia law, you need to re-elect me as your governor. Yes, and we're talking with Texas Governor Greg Abbott. He, you also deployed the Texas Department of Public Safety to root out.

This is what you had stated: root out any Sharia courts in the state of Texas. And for the people who don't know, that's the Islamic jurisprudence that's actually threatening Western jurisprudence. They want to supersede our law here in Texas, Governor. It's just crazy, and so we've been seeking it out like a heat-seeking heat-seeking missile to make sure that there will be no Sharia courts, no Sharia law, no Sharia communities, no spread of Sharia in the state of Texas. Texas is is not welcoming that ideology, and we're pushing back harder and more than any other state in the entire country under my leadership.

If, however, my opponent were to get elected, that would all change, and she would be providing a welcome mat to the growth and expansion of Sharia law in the state of Texas. Yes, we're talking with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is doing quite well, I would say. Thankfully, this is the bright spot. I wanted to ask you really quickly, Governor, too, the data center stuff. I know it's a huge debate.

I mean, my family is half for, half against. It doesn't seem like there's any nuance in the area, and I know. That there's a there's a lot of discussion about it in Texas, and I think some lawmakers look and say, "Okay, well, there's there's a way that we can maintain a supremacy on the power of data, but." Working respectfully with communities to make sure we're not taking up their resources and taking up their land with eminent domain, and I know that you fall on the side of of obviously listening to the voters, but also making sure that America reigns supreme. There is a way to thread that needle.

So let me tell you what I've done. I put a moratorium on data centers at this time because they were seeking more power than what the power grid had, and they were taking water from our communities that they should not be taking. And so I I press pause. There's a moratorium, and I set these guidelines and guardrails. Number one, they must not be taking power off the Texas power grid.

They must be providing their own power, and they must do so in a way that reduces the cost of electricity for Texans. Number two. They must not be taking water out of our communities. They got to provide their own water for their own cooling systems, have closed loop systems for their cooling, and never take a drop of our precious Texas water. Number three, they cannot be building in our neighborhoods or in our rural settings that are disturbing the habitats of our fellow Texans around there.

They must get the support of local communities before they have the ability to build. Number four, they must not be taking any. Tax incentives from the state. I want to eliminate those tax incentives and use that as part of my program to bide down property tax rates in the state of Texas. Love it.

And then, then the the last one is is to make sure that we turn all of this into law in this next session to make sure that we are going to have ongoing guardrails and guidelines for data centers. I love that, especially paying down that property tax, because a lot of people just because I got to I have to defend the governor on that. He doesn't control that. That's your state and local, that or that's your local, your local municipalities that do, governor. But I know that you're doing everything that you can with your executive authority there as governor of Texas to make sure that these towns are not hurting people with higher property taxes, and we appreciate that.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott, we I look forward to congratulating you later this evening, governor, on a success. Full win. I feel very confident because I feel confident because I feel confident in your work for Texas.

So thank you, Governor. We appreciate your time today. Godspeed. You got it. Everybody go vote.

Yes, sir. Everybody go vote. Vote for Governor Abbott. Go vote. Yes, we appreciate it.

Oh my gosh! An ambulance driver is accused of abandoning. The patient said he was done driving for the day and called an Uber home. He was transporting a patient to the hospital in Ohio. It happened Wednesday in Cleveland.

The patient was had chest pain, was going to the Cleveland Clinic. The ambulance got lost. Told her he was done driving for the day and called an Uber to take him home. He worked for Linux EMS, a private ambulance company, not for Cleveland EMS. And once the driver left, the patient, a Cleveland EMS unit, had to respond to the scene.

They administered medical care and brought her to the hospital. And oh my gosh, that guy needs to never work in healthcare ever again, ever again. That's horrible. Let's see here.

Somebody took gates, stole gates, stole a whole giant gate. From a historic cemetery, they were a century-old wrought iron gates that were in Montana's oldest Jewish cemetery. They're really cool-looking gates. The whole thing is gone. That's a lot.

I don't even know how heavy that is. That's like probably a lot. And Oregon Coast Town is celebrating 56 years of their exploding whale this month. Partners, bringing you the program. It's our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom.

Do you are you familiar with this group? I've had them on my radio show before. Tons of times, and I love what they do. They are involved. They've been involved in eighty-eight Supreme Court victories.

They've had twenty victories in cases where it where they were directly representing clients since twenty eleven. They are a nonprofit legal organization that defends religious liberty, free speech, the sanctity of life, and parental rights. Let me tell you about this one case that they're doing right now. It's with Kelly Keeler. She was 15, and she competed against a male athlete in Washington Washington high school girls wrestling tournament without any any no advance notice to her or her mom.

And you guys have seen the video. They, you can see her face when she's being rustled by a man, and apparently his hands went some places that they were not supposed to. And she said it, and it was. I'm sorry, I agree. I'm not sorry.

It's a sexual assault. It was during the match. She was so distressed that she allowed herself to be pinned so she could get it over with. Her mom took the video. The school officials waited days to report the incident to law enforcement, even though there was a 48 hour reporting requirement.

ADF is representing Callie and her mother, and they're advocating for the safety of female. Athletes, parental rights, and accountability. They were there to help overturn Roe v. Wade. They were there to help defend the Baker, Jack Phillips, in Colorado.

They were there as well to protect pro-life pregnancy centers from compelled speech under California's requirements under Becerra. They have been there, making landmark cases a reality and protecting your rights. Do not let schools put ideology over the safety of girls in sports. Your support today can help Cali, can help other athletes, can help other parents. And they don't do this with USAID money, folks.

So on my new audio series, Love Lately, I'm getting into the conversations we're really having about love, relationships, and our sexual health. Every week, it's me and Dr. Contessa Metcalf.

It said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for reasons. Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to heighten taste? That sound seems to show everything happens for Reese's.

So, a couple of the measures that I look at still rate Texas as being toss-up. North Carolina is being tossed up in terms of Senate ratings. This is coming from Center for Politics, Sabato's Crystal Ball, also Cook Political Analysis, looking at some of the RCP averages as well. And then the House is going to be super competitive. Here are some things that you need to watch, and some of this is.

Some wider reporting, but then also I spent an inordinate amount of time last night looking at some different areas to see what are going to be some good places to see where we're going to be able to see some trends, and I think some of this. Looking Virginia is going to be very interesting because remember this is also the first test of a lot of our redrawn maps. Virginia is going to be interesting, and I think that that's going to be a really good gauge for the incumbents because that's really where the incumbents, every single incumbent in that in the Commonwealth of Virginia, is just being besieged. That is going to be a test of the strength of those incumbents, particularly against the narrative of that you've been hearing so much about Trump disapproval. Right, you've been hearing a lot about Trump disapproval in some states, like in Iowa, because you get into the fuel, the fertilizer, all of that.

Iowa and Kansas that's playing a lot in. But watching some of the incumbents in Virginia is, I think that this is going to be a bellwether. Also for Hispanics in RGV, the Rio Grande Valley area of South. Texas, there's been a lot of back and forth reporting as to it's not it's not a debate. I think of ICE doing its job.

I think a lot of this is the press, but the and the false narratives on this. But did they go? Did they do too much? I personally don't think they did enough. But that's that's me.

That's going to be very interesting because there have been surveys that shown that Hispanics in Texas have been shifting away from. They're they're trying to figure out if it's from specific. The GOP, or if it's just because of the administration. I mean, this is just data. There have been a number of pretty solid surveys that have come out about this in the past year.

So I think that that's going to be a very interesting. Area to watch that's Cuellar's district and the 28th, Vincente Gonzalez and the 34th. It looks like they're going to survive their redistricting process. Cuellar's been pretty solid as it relates to the border, though. I will say he's a rarity, but I think that that's going to be something interesting to watch, particularly as it relates to those subgroups.

Also, Texas, the Senate race, it's going to be interesting with Paxton and Tlaibico, and then a Michigan, the Senate race. You're Going to get a chance to see whether the strength of the DSA. And that's going to kind of set a lot of stuff, the tone for a lot of stuff going forward, because Trump approval is playing into the Paxton race, and the DSA is heavily. I mean, those are going to be two things to watch going forward. I'm going to have a lot more up on Substack later.

We're running out of time right now. Today's stupidity came. All right, let's go to Cut 19, Ana Navarro. Let me look at the transcript here. Apparently, ground beef is $6.30 a gallon.

What? Watch and listen. Ground beef is six thirty dollars a gallon. This is the he's talking about, guys. Please go out and vote tomorrow and vote these balls out.

I encourage you to vote against stupidity like this. Has she ever bought ground beef? She doesn't know to speak. I don't know, folks. That does it for us tonight.

Remember, find our election stuff up at Substack, chapter and verse. I'll be on social as well. And back to recap the entire midterms tomorrow. Have a great night. Go vote.

God bless. In business, there's the easy way with Staples or the hard way. Hard means Jen, did you get the weekend specials menus from the printer by any chance? No, they said they'll be done on Monday. But they're weekend specials.

Easy means Staples, same day custom printing, where same day means same day. Hard means our new brochures are back from the print place.

So how do they look?

Well, our logo is brown, but our logo isn't brown. It is now. Easy means custom prints, perfectly printed. Don't choose hard. Choose Staples.

That was easy. Shop Staples online and store in the app. What if you could get more from what you already do? As a Shell Fuel Rewards member, that's just a regular weekday afternoon. You get more rewards, more savings, and more special offers.
