Hello and welcome to the DSR Daily.
other hosts, Riley Fessler and Minustine. How are you doing this morning, guys?
“So good. So proud to be an American after the Republican convention.”
Depressed I wasn't able to make it. Yeah. Well, our friend Ed Lewis was there and later today on deep say, ready. We'll talk to him about what it was like to be there in the room as Donald Trump. Well, why don't you tell us what Donald Trump did? He made a big promise to send every American adult a $5,000 Trump dividend if Republicans maintain control of Congress following the term elections. Economists and policy experts in the proposal would cost over $1 trillion,
exacerbating the national debt in annual deficit while legally requiring congressional approval.
J.D. vans quickly attempted to clarify the pledge by suggesting the payments would exclude the wealthy and be funded through tariffs, though current tariff revenues fall far short of being necessary amount. Well, let's just examine this proposed bribe from the president of the United States and make them stick about it. It is a proposed bribe. But if you are sucker enough to fall for this, you deserve what you get. In fact, if you're sucker enough to fall for this,
you probably voted for Trump in the first place because he keeps offering this again and again. He said when they save money by cutting back on what people are getting for the ACA, you'll get an ACA dividend. Did you? How just bend it? How did you spend your ACA dividend? He said when the tariffs went out and we got all the tariff money, you'd get a tariff dividend. Did you? How just bend it? He said when does cut spending, you'd get a doge dividend,
same thing, 5,000 bucks straight to your house. Did you get it? You never get it. Furthermore,
not only is it complete bullshit lie that he's offered over and over and over again, not only is it illegal and requires the approval of Congress, it is also, you are money. Where do you think the money comes from? It's like a guy's robbing your house. He's got his moving van in front. He's taken every item out of the house. You walk it because tell you what, let me finish robbing your house and I'll give you 5,000 bucks. That out, you know, from your
“safe. That's what it is. Come, please lunatic bullshit desperation because he's got nothing else.”
What's he going to do? Talk about how he's lowered prices. Talk about how he's ended forever, wars. Talk about how he's got the government working better. Talk about how he's improved America's standing in the world. Talk about how our education programs are better. Health guarantee America is better. Talk about any of that stuff. I don't think so. You know why don't think so? Because he can't. Because it's all lie. He has failed. And the best thing that he can
do is just sort of offer you a bribe with your own money. Opponents of Missouri's redrawn congressional map filed an emergency application asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block a federal judge's order that mandated using the GOP favored 2025 map in the upcoming midterms. The emergency petition follows conflicting rulings after Justice Kavanaugh initially left intact a Missouri Supreme Court decision,
paring the new map, only for a federal judge to issue a temporary restraining order forcing its use anyways. The maps opponents are U.S. federal courts' sudden intervention override state constitutional authority and creates widespread voter confusion on the eve of the election. Yeah well there's no doubt about that. How could you not be confused? You've got one set of courts saying one thing and another set of courts saying another thing the Supreme Court saying
something that another court saying something after the Supreme Court says it's thing. So where's it all going to end up? Back at the Supreme Court they're going to have to clean up this mess. Of course usually the Supreme Court says we can't do this so close to an election so we'll do it after the election leave things just the way they are. You think this Supreme Court's
“going to do the right thing? This Supreme Court? Have I reminded you who's on the Supreme Court?”
Should I introduce you to Justice's Alito and Thomas and all the rest of them? No.
We can't count on them to do the right thing but it's back with them and fran...
are the only ones who can sort this out one way or the other.
“Well I've got another big surprise from the CHUP convention because Pennsylvania”
Democratic and for our audio listeners I'm doing air quotes around Democratic Senator John Federman made a surprise video appearance at the convention to introduce his colleague Republican Senator Dave McCormick addressing the crowd in his signature hoodie, Federman described himself as a common sense in Democrat and pled to work alongside McCormick and President Trump to protect local steel jobs while rejecting political extremes.
The appearance comes amid of Federman's growing alienation from the Democratic party
reflected in recent polling showing he now holds a higher approval rating among Pennsylvania
Republicans than Democrats because he's a Republican. He's not a Democrat. He got elected under false pretenses. I don't know what extent this had to do with any neurological difficulties he's at in the interim and I don't want to pick on him for his neurological difficulties but on the other end he is showing a lot of sign of neurological difficulties. You know what I mean? And you know we've had recent stories that he's like
Dodge doing his job and told people who had a right to see him that he was sick or unavailable or whatever because his staff is turning out of why? Because they all signed on to be with the
“Democratic Senator and you know how the last act of this play turns out right?”
If after the November elections the Democrats picked up enough seat to gain a margin of one in the Senate, guess what Federman's going to do? It's going to be so ugly. So ugly. Produce such a backlash but buckle up because that's just where this little drama is had it. The Trump administration has proposed restricting Trump Trump Trump. All we do is here about Trump. Okay, go on.
Well, I'm triggered. I'm triggered. Okay, go on. Should we use a safer word? It's just like that. It's just like Trump was something else. Yeah, that's it's used our same port. Yeah, on on in the White House. See how you used to onk is very like you're very down very hip and cool. Yeah, onk. Well, we call him onk Chad. He's in the White House, right? And he's onk. Right? I'm very hip. This is all true. I'm very and surely if you can verify this.
Okay, I can feel in the end. I'm feeling all this. This is about the census. So we can talk more about the census than Trump. They're proposing to restrict the 2030 U.S. census to count only citizens and permanent residents, excluding both temporary legal visa holders and undocumented immigrants. The proposed rule change would also remove race and ethnicity questions from the questionnaire, marking a fundamental shift in how demographic data has been collected since 1790.
Civil rights advocates and demographers warn that the 30 day public comment proposal could skew political representation and strip federal funding from states with significant immigrant populations.

“Yeah, um, there's another problem with it. Do you know what the problem is?”
Just like take a wild guess here.
Couldn't even possibly imagine. Okay, well, let me first then like twice as long and taking money away from
well, that's had a question. It's not a question of words. That's clearly their objective. It's a question of whether this is legal to do and the Constitution not only requires that the census be taken, but the 14th amendment to the Constitution says that it has to be at
Whole count of persons and the clear implication of that and legal precedent ...
ever since that it means everybody regardless of citizenship status. So this will be challenged.
“It won't happen. They'll try to make it happen because they, you know, that's how they're”
playing this game. They're trying to keep people who, uh, you know, deserve the support representation of the United States government from getting it. Ending things on a foreign policy note, but not a particular cheery one around aligned who the militants have seized the key. Many of Port of Mocha expanding their control over this strategic Bob L. Mendeb, straight and further disrupting global energy transit,
already strained by the wider US Iran conflict in response Saudi Arabia warned Iran.
If you have Pakistani intermediaries to restrain the Houthis, while US and Iranian forces are traded heavy and retaliatory attacks on Gulf shipping. Despite crude oil prices exceeding $100 barrel, the onken the White House claimed the war would end shortly after the November mid-term elections. The top advisors reportedly warned that the conflict could persist much longer. Yeah, well, of course it's going to persist much longer. Though the chud and chief said yesterday,
I predict this will end right after the election, right? Um, I mean, he obviously is no credibility
on this. There are other stories in the news this morning that the Iranians are turning up the
heat on the straight-of-form moves and in the entrance to the Red Sea area in order to have more leverage for what they see as the negotiations that are going to take place. You know, the negotiations about the thing that we already said, we had a deal because Trump said we had
“a deal. Remember that deal that we had that was, you know, three months ago, but it's expired.”
That wasn't really a deal after all yet. That's why Trump has no credibility on this and the Iranians are just playing their hand at. The reason Trump says it's going to end after the elections because he knows the Iranians aren't going to stop till the election because he knows they can squeeze him by doing things that push up oil prices. He's put himself in this predicament. The sad fact of it, however, is that millions, billions of people around the world are
going to pay the price for his stupidity, his brutality, his disregard for international love. And some people will pay a higher price even than that because this conflict does continue. He may not want to call it a war, but if we keep shooting the people and firing missiles at people and have
“a lot of people in the region who are vulnerable to attack and yesterday there was another attack”
on US bases in the region that apparently destroyed a bunch of US aircraft. If that's not a war, I don't know what a war is, right? So we've got this ongoing war. It's going to continue and Riley will continue as the Iran War correspondent reporting in each and every day on the news of this thing that isn't a war that isn't over, that is over, that well, you know, we get conflicting reports from Uncle Chud. Well, you know, you get it. Anyway, we'll keep on these things later today.
You've got a DSR coming your way with that loose reporting from the midterm convention that was held in Dallas. We had a very good silicone consciousness that you can listen to. We've got think words matter with norm or in steam later today that you can listen to. There's so much stuff here of good nature, intelligent people trying to cut through the bullshit for you. And when I say good nature intelligent people, of course, I include Riley and Minna, who will join tomorrow,
actually one of you because the way this sub stack is structured, only one of you can join for our sub stack live tomorrow. Who's it going to be tomorrow? I've got it tomorrow. Okay, so Riley fans tune in and for all of you who are Minna fans, please don't complain. Sub stack only lets us have me and one other person I know. I shouldn't show up. It should just be Riley and Minna. Well, maybe you'll get that. Maybe in a week or two, it'll just be Riley and Minna.
It won't be me and see how you like that. Okay, I'm not better. We'll see you at all of these places. Here at the DSR network and sub stack at the DSR network or sub stack that need to know or YouTube or where you get your podcasts, you know, all those places that content creators spread their
