Future of Warfare: The Rise of Drone Threats | Anna Paulina Luna DSH #1133

That point to happen.

And it's sad that all of this contributed to, I would say, largely the polarization that we have in this country now that led to President Trump getting shot.

And then a second assassination attempt.

So I think this country is in a process of healing.

I think as we move forward after this election, you'll see that there's going to be a lot, especially because they got rid of the fact checkers, especially because we have free speech now on X.

All right, guys, Ana, Paulina, Luna here.

We are in D.C.

About to be a big week.

Thanks for coming on.

1,000%.

Looking forward to it.

Yeah, there's been a lot.

There's been two years for this.

Yeah.

Yeah, you must have had a long two years, then.

I mean, serving under Biden, it's mainly because you're basically just blocking and tackling all the BS that comes down from the machine, but it was definitely rough not having a core group of people.

So it's good to have them back.

I want to start off with the health stuff because there's been a lot of exciting news in the health space lately.

Red 3 got banned, and you were part of that, right?

Well, so that was the FDA decision.

When I first got in, I would consider myself someone that tries to be a little bit more healthy.

But I'd say from probably the time I got in, because of my committees, because of my investigations, I went from being somewhat just distrusting of the FDA to completely not trusting them at all and just advocating to my close friends, families, and also to people that follow me on social media.

really how corrupt the institution has become.

So if I can just elaborate real quick, it started on a questioning that I had with the FDA on the infant infant formula crisis.

So, I don't know if you remember a couple years ago, but they had actually pulled all the infant formula off the shelves.

A lot of people were being told by the government not to make their own formula, etc.

But really, what ended up happening is during COVID, the FDA actually stopped inspections of some of these formula production facilities.

And a lot of people don't know that there's only one or two manufacturers in the entire country for all the formula.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, so typically, corporations are required to self-report.

Well, they weren't self-reporting.

And so, by the time the FDA found out that there was an an issue and then they pulled it off, by that time it was essentially too late,

according to the bacteria and the type it was, about 20% of infants exposed to it would have died.

Whoa.

And so that was during the COVID reporting number.

So we really don't know how many children were impacted by this.

But what was even worse, and it was insult to injury.

So you have this happening to our kids here in the States.

The Biden adamant pulled all the formula and then they sent it to actually the border facilities for migrant children.

So we can talk about wherever you're at on the political spectrum for borders, right?

Like I'm a border hawk, border security, I want it.

Yeah.

But I don't want to send tainted formula to these kids.

And so to me, once I saw that happening, I kind of really pulled back the layers on what the FDA was doing.

And then you realize that with things like

thalidomide, that they'd actually encouraged women to take that.

It was to prevent nausea during pregnancy and it was causing massive deformities for children as well.

So question everything the government tells you.

Man, there's some evil going on there.

Yeah, that's true.

I did not know it was that bad.

They need an overhaul.

That is crazy.

That's where Doge comes in, right?

Doge comes in, people like RFK, but I think too, just legislators trying to at least educate, use our platforms.

But there's the way that this system is engineered in Washington is it's on seniority, it's on people that have been here the longest of bureaucracy.

So to come in and make change right away is a lot harder unless you have people that are outsiders.

And part of the reason why I supported Trump so early on, back in 2016, and then even in 2020 and now in 2024, is because of the fact that he's probably the only person right now in our lifetime that has the profile and the ability to continue to fight and actually bring that change.

Absolutely.

You're starting to see a little bit though, right?

Steak and shake is using beef tallow now.

The red free band.

People are talking about seed oils.

Yes, we don't want seed oils.

I actually had a conversation with Sardar who is actually the owner of Maxim Magazine, but he also has a large portfolio.

of steak and shake.

And so we were actually talking about the beef tallow stuff.

And I mean, I think being health conscious, if you look at the way that we treat our food system here in the United States compared to other countries in the world, you would find that if you're looking at the obesity rates and kind of just the overall health of Americans compared to other countries, it's really terrible.

And that's largely because of the fact that they are adding in all this stuff because it's cheaper to manufacture, it's easier to manufacture, whether we're talking about glyphosates, whether we're talking about genetically modified food products, or whether we're just talking about using artificial dyes as opposed to using natural dyes.

Something on the red number three, they knew that it caused cancer for years.

You still have red 40, which is even worse, causes autism.

And it's largely being packaged in food products that's targeting kids.

So it's like you're wondering why one in however many children are now autistic and why there's an increase in child cancers.

I mean, it's terrible that it's so expensive to eat healthy, but that's exactly why I've been pushing for some of the legislation that I have to clean up our food supply.

Absolutely.

It's needed.

I've heard as high as one in 26 in California.

If starting the new year off with a fast feels a little daunting, you're not alone.

Shout out to today's sponsor, CroLon.

They're an entire community of individuals that want you to make meaningful differences in health.

And it makes fasting so powerful because you have a group of people around you.

I'm joining their January Fasting Challenge, which is a coach-led program to set you up for fasting success.

It's a five-day program.

It's filled with snacks, soups, and beverages that are designed to keep your body in a fasting state with no guesswork or planning required.

Got the box box is laid out right here so you guys can check it out.

It's also great for so many things.

It enhances your skin, it enhances fat loss, and it improves your energy.

All their meals are pre-packaged.

Like I said, no guesswork, and it's perfect for after the holiday season where you stocked up on a lot of heavy meals.

If you're ready to make 2025 your healthiest year yet, you can order your Prolon five-day kit at prolon.com slash DSH and join in on their fasting challenge today.

New groups start every Sunday in January.

Plus, Prolon is offering digital social hour listeners 15% off their five-day program.

When you go to prolon.com/slash DSH, that's prolon.com/slash DSH.

California and kids.

It's so sad.

It's so sad.

We also have a bill that we're introducing that's going to remove fluoride.

Had a lot of people that told me that I was going to be responsible for an overall increase in cavities in this country if I removed fluoride.

I would say that if you're still using fluoride toothpaste, that should be your decision to buy that toothpaste, but you don't need to have it in the water as well.

Right.

Yeah, I switched off the toothpaste even.

I did too.

I don't use anything with fluoride.

Yeah, and people don't even know this, but you're bathing in fluoride with the tap water.

When your body absorbs that, your skin is the biggest organ in your body.

And so to be constantly exposed to that, I mean, just long term, it's going to add up and you're going to end up with some form of disease.

Yeah.

And now it's been proven it lowers IQ too, right?

That too?

Three points.

Three points.

That's not just made up.

That's an actual study that was done.

And then I know in the state of Florida, which is where I'm from, I think our state legislature is talking about removing it altogether.

So there's been a lot of support of that, but I would like to see that nationally.

Look, we want the best and brightest coming from the United States.

It starts with not just our water, but our food supply.

Yeah.

How do you feel about the Department of Education possibly going?

Going away?

Yeah, going away.

I would be in favor of that.

I think it would be a heavy lift because I think some people in Congress might be a little bit queasy or skirmish on the subject.

But for me specifically, it should be a state's rights issue and up to the states to decide what's best for their kids.

Not to mention, you know, my background, I went to seven, seven high schools.

Yeah, I did not have a normal high school experience.

But when I talk to people, they're like, you know, how did you end up being so conservative?

How did you find the military?

Like, what brought you to where you're at today success-wise?

And I joke that there wasn't time for me to be indoctrinated.

But I'm in part being serious because I feel like the current education system right now, instead of teaching kids how to think independently, to teach them how to be entrepreneurs, to teach them life skills like balancing a bank account or

what does a credit score mean, right?

Like these life skills that you would typically need as an early adult starting at 18.

Instead, they're focusing on things that we really don't necessarily need.

And so I feel like an overhaul of the education system is absolutely needed, but I'm always in favor of keeping it at the state level.

Yeah, you get punished for critically thinking.

Yeah, but that.

And then they just engineer a bunch of people as doers instead of entrepreneurs, owners.

They want you to stay in the box instead of thinking outside of it.

My school suspended me for selling candy.

Are you serious?

I look at you today.

I know.

I'm in fifth grade.

What kind of candy was it?

It was, I went to Costco and bought the king-size bars.

I was in like fifth grade, and I was selling it for like a dollar each, making 10 bucks because the box was 20 bucks.

That's awesome.

And I got suspended for that.

I hope my son is like.

Yes, it's just crazy, though, that they punished that mind, that mentality.

Yeah, they should have encouraged it.

What did your parents say just out of curiosity?

I don't know.

My mom was weird.

She's strict on academics.

I'm half Asian.

Okay.

But my dad was like, he didn't care, you know.

Well, that's pretty cool.

So that's, I always joke with Andy, but I'm like, I hope Henry learns to be a young entrepreneur because it really, I think you just have it.

It goes with your natural instinct.

You have different personality types and talents.

And I think something like that, I mean, we need more of that, but they shouldn't have punished.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think you're definitely born with it and definitely your environment.

Yeah.

I saw what my dad did growing up.

What did your dad do?

He sold books on Amazon.

Oh, that's awesome.

Yeah.

So we would go dumpster diving, we would go to book sales, and he would just, he had a good eye for what was worth a lot of money.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

What does he think about what you do today?

He loves it.

He's a huge Trump supporter.

Oh, my God.

So this is like unreal for him.

Oh, he's probably.

And also, too, I mean, you're a lot younger than most people that are kind of in the up-and-coming, well, in the legacy media now, up-and-coming media tends to be younger.

I was actually talking to Alex Bruzos about this.

But when you talk about getting the message out to younger people, having younger conservatives or just people that are involved in politics, it helps to have platforms like yours.

So I'm really stuck on what you're doing.

Yeah, it feels like there is a really young generation now getting into politics with the TikTok stuff and the debates.

You know,

I know that there was a ban on TikTok.

And for me personally, if TikTok can protect the data from it being accessed by the CCP, I'm all for it.

In fact, I was one of the early users of TikTok.

And then when we got to DC, there were some concerns that we had that it would be weaponized.

Now, I know that there's a lot of people with livelihoods on it, but it looks like there might be a solution on TikTok.

I heard that someone's looking at buying it for $20 billion.

Mr.

Beast or Mr.

Beast.

If he does, I mean, I'd be happy to use the platform because I know it's been incredibly influential, especially in President Trump's reelection, but more importantly, getting the message out there.

Do you have to be missing?

Absolutely.

I do want to ask your take with the fires because that's still going on right now.

Oh, in California.

How it was handled and what your opinion on it was.

So I don't know if you know this.

I grew up in Southern California.

And so I remember being out.

I remember when California was a governor, was a Republican state, which is crazy.

I do not.

I didn't know that was ever.

Yeah, so

when was that?

That was back in the the early 90s so arnold schwarzenegger was a republican governor of california that's kind of my era when i grew up there um but what a lot of people don't realize is california is a desert a and b we have something called the santa anna winds so in addition to mismanagement in addition to having people that were not qualified for their positions but were hired because they checked certain boxes um you have all of those that was basically the perfect recipe for what happened.

It's really unfortunate though.

I'm seeing that a lot of people are now dealing with the headache of FEMA.

So I hope that we have a great incoming FEMA director.

I know President Trump's been considering Kevin Guthrie, who's Florida's current FEMA director.

But when you're in these times of crisis, you would hope that your local officials as well as your governor would, you know, A, put the citizens first, but then also to understand and what goes into managing a crisis like this.

And it seemed like that ball was completely dropped.

I mean, there's no reason that there should have been fire hydrants that didn't have water, that there were that many people that were defunded for actually being able to respond to those.

It was just, it's a headache, nightmare disaster.

Seems like there was a lot of those little things, and they just added up.

Yeah, and of course, I know that a lot of people are like, well, you know, California voted themselves into this, but there's still a lot of great people in California that did not deserve that.

And so, what I would respond to people is, you know, I hope people realize how important those local elections are, but also how important the governor's election is.

Gavin Newsom, the guy's...

The guy's a little weird, okay?

And so how he responded to it, it's not really going to impact him, how it would impact someone like myself or someone like you.

So definitely hope that California can reset itself because it's a beautiful state.

I love Cali.

Yeah, I was talking to Alex before you.

It's like the best weather in the country.

The best weather.

You can go to the beach and go skiing in the same day.

Yeah, for real.

And they have In-N-Out.

Yeah, In-N-Out.

Oh, man.

I hope they switch to Tallow because I love Inn Out.

If they, I know there's like an In-N-Out fan page on X, and they're like, oh, we need Tallow Fries at In-N Out.

So maybe they'll see the X.

I always fall for that because I think it's the real In N N Out.

Yeah, but it's not, but there's an In N Out fan page on X.

I also fall it.

Because I used to love Chipotle, but like they use seedles, so it's like...

No, In-N-Out, but you know, we might have to switch to steak and shake if they say.

I'm going to try it.

I mean,

from a business point of view, they're losing money on that.

So I respect their decision because they value the health.

It's healthier.

Yeah, it's healthier.

We actually just had tallow fries last night.

I know this sounds weird, but I'm a foodie, so you get that perfect amount of like salty, crispy.

It's not soggy.

Tallow fries are words at.

I got some amazing chips.

They're called hala chips, made from beef tallow.

Have you had those?

No.

Oh, my God.

I'll send you some.

Yeah, they're good.

Unplugged.

Yeah.

They don't even pay me.

I don't know why.

I just picked that up.

Yeah, that fire stuff.

I mean, Biden's sending $700 to everyone.

It's like a slap in the face.

When he called me after my district, so I'm right in St.

Petersburg, Clearwater Beach Area, in Florida.

And so we had two back-to-back hurricanes that came in.

He called me and talked to him in person and he goes, you know, $700, because they're going to send roughly that amount to the impacted victims from the hurricane in Carolina.

He goes, that's a bunch of malarkey.

But it's like, what's $700 going to do?

You know, FEMA in total spent this past year over $1.01 billion on illegal immigrants.

Whoa.

Did it was not going to Americans literally went to people that never paid into the system.

And some people might say, well, why are you so anti-illegal immigrant?

Because it hurts people, like, especially people that are trying to come here legally, right?

So it just, you can't have both your cake and eat it too.

This is a prime example.

Americans need that.

FEMA's denying claims.

Our offices are helping to assist in opening up those claims that have been denied.

But if you think California is going to be resolved anytime soon, it's not.

And anytime the federal government says, we'll help, run for the hills, because the federal government tends to rarely help.

So hopefully the incoming admin can fix it.

Yeah.

And even the hurricanes in North Carolina, FEMA didn't do much there, it seemed like.

No.

In fact, we had a hearing.

So I sit on House Oversight.

And in our hearing, we had the FEMA director in.

And I actually asked her questions because I watch, whenever I'm...

looking at a hearing, right, or I'm cross-examining someone, I want to hear what the other side has to say as well.

So I actually watched interviews of the woman that was fired for discriminating against Trump supporters during the hurricanes.

And she said that FEMA was covering up, but she also then named names of other individuals that were under investigations and that were giving orders, not just in Florida, but in North Carolina and Georgia as well, to actually not help conservatives, Republicans, or Trump supporters.

Wow.

And I asked the FEMA director about that, and I could see her body language shifted.

She didn't want to go there.

She wanted to keep it just isolated to this one person that got caught and that they threw up.

I definitely think it was a bigger incident.

I think that when the incoming admin comes in, they have to investigate because how many people were impacted and denied help because of that?

Wow.

That's cool that you picked up on something like that.

Yeah, it's, you know, as part of my job, we can look you can Congress can be as difficult or as easy as you want it to be.

I take this job seriously.

And so because I am on oversight, I definitely use that to investigate.

I know earlier you were mentioning something about censorship, right?

When I first got into office, I I worked with an organization called Judicial Watch, and I actually was given access to some information that the Department of Homeland Security organized and worked with a division of it called CISA, CISA.

And what they were doing was they were working with Meta, they were working with Google, they were working with Utop, YouTube, and also Twitter 1.0.

to organize with the government to

suppress information, specifically with the president and all other conservative media influencers.

Wow.

And they were using a private cloud server known as JIRA to communicate this.

So when I see all of these CEOs coming in that are basically kissing the ass of the president now, they know that he's in control.

They know that he's not going to play games.

If there's one thing President Trump respects, it's loyalty.

But also two, he wants to root out the issue and never have it happen again.

Like the one thing that he continues to say is this should never happen to any other president because what they did to him was terrible.

But we had evidence that they were engaging in A, something illegal.

It's known as a joint state actor.

But then when I was questioning Yoel Roth, he lied to me under oath.

Whoa.

And so we had the evidence, we had the information, but we didn't have the DOJ, we didn't have the AG's office, so what can we do about it, right?

So we exposed it, it was out there, people understood it, but it just sad that it took to that point to happen.

And it's sad that all of this contributed to, I would say, largely the polarization that we have in this country now that led to President Trump getting shot.

And then a second assassination attempt.

So I think this country is in a process of healing.

I think as we move forward after this election, you'll see that there's going to be a lot, especially because they got rid of the fact checkers, especially because we have free speech now in X.

Kudos to Elon Musk.

But, I mean, the fact is, is that there was elected officials that were doing this.

There were CEOs that were doing this.

They were working together and coordinating.

And the federal government was a part of it too.

And so that should never happen again.

Yeah, dude, the censorship was crazy.

I remember even just taking a photo with Trump Jr.

They must have some AI because as soon as I post that photo, my views went down 80%.

Yeah, they had a way of scanning on the back end, but it wasn't just that.

I mean, I'll give you another, another, I guess, information nugget because it's already passed now that it's happened.

But before Janet Yellen had left, after there was the fall of the San Francisco bank.

Do you remember that?

Yeah.

Okay.

You would figure that there would be a plan in place instead of a bailout to deal with this.

I was on the call with the House and the Senate when this took place.

Representative Lauren Boebert had actually put out a statement on it, but their solution to prevent there from being massive panic was to organize and orchestrate a censorship campaign online to prevent people from going to the banks and essentially running on the banks.

Wow.

That, when I heard that, and I heard there's not actually a plan in place to fix this problem.

They're just going to censor their way out of it.

I realized how bad the rot was.

So I know the incoming teams are going to correct that.

But when I say that it is the obligation of every American to pay attention to what's happening in politics, whether it's at the local level or whether it's at the national level, I genuinely mean it because there are people that come to Washington and they'll stay here 20, 30 years.

There's been a member of Congress,

you know, God bless him, that has been here for 40 years.

That's longer than I've been alive.

And when our founding fathers wrote the Constitution, when we wrote wrote the Declaration of Independence, they weren't anticipating that people would look at this like a long-term career, but it was a civil duty and an obligation to one's country.

And they were in their 30s.

So I think we need to bring in some of that new energy back to DC.

Absolutely.

You recently had a whistleblower with some adoption case, right?

Oh my gosh.

This, yeah.

If you want, can I elaborate on that?

Yeah.

This, by far, I've told you about some of the other investigations I've run, but this has been probably one of the worst cases of corruption at the State Department I've ever witnessed.

I now sit on Foreign Affairs that has jurisdiction on the State Department.

I had a Marine officer, he's a special operator in the Marine Corps known as Marsock, that came forward with a case that not only did the State Department under Biden intentionally overturn a custody ruling that the Trump admin had put in place to prevent his adopted daughter from being sent back to Afghanistan.

So, this is a very long drawn out cat, long-drawn out case, but essentially, this officer had been in a firefight.

This little girl had two parents that were working with the Taliban as terrorists in Afghanistan.

A firefight takes place.

The little girl's parents kill themselves.

His team rescues this little girl, brings her back to the United States.

Trump admin helps.

They keep her here.

She's essentially being raised as an American child.

Biden admin comes in, State Department takes custody of that little girl, sends her back to Afghanistan where she is then sexually assaulted at

about one and a half years old.

Wow.

They find her in a village being raised by a young teenage girl, bring her back to the United States, and instead of giving that little girl back to the family that adopted her, they then try to give her to an individual who's a known terrorist on the terrorist watch list here in the United States.

What?

The officer, and I'm not going to get into names yet because we're still onboarding information, but the officer obtains the terrorist watch list profile.

The State Department then erases it and tries to hide it.

And they are currently in a massive custody battle right now.

So now that we have the incoming Secretary of State with Marco Rubio, we have Harmit Dylan that's been appointed to handle these humanitarian cases, and we have Trump, we are going to fight like hell to ensure that that little girl,

her case, can never be overturned in a next administration.

But the fact is, is that, you know, when you're in a position of power, whether you are a member of Congress or Senate, whether you are an appointee at the administrative level, or whether you're at the State Department, your decisions have consequences.

And to have them make a decision to undermine the previous administration, not because it was for the betterment of this little girl's life, but because they couldn't stand Trump, resulted in her being assaulted.

That's crazy.

I wonder why this isn't as a child.

Why would they erase that?

That's like well, they wanted to erase it because they don't want to show that they're trying to A, give this little girl up, but also to think about it.

The Biden administration has knownly allowed people on the terrorist watch list into our country.

Right.

Those people are not here.

They're not going to ever assimilate.

They're here to essentially kill us.

Like, to think that those people are somehow going to just say, I just want a nine-to-five job and that's it.

They should never have been allowed here in the first place.

But now I think the problem that they're going to have is: we have all this information.

I'm going to ask that all these people are fired.

And if I find that there is deeper-rooted corruption, I mean, I think that there needs to be an actual criminal investigation because of what happened going forward.

Also, to who ordered the profile to be erased.

And so, I mean, it went all the way from the State Department to the FBI getting involved and basically weaponizing an investigation into this officer.

You had members of the JSOC command and then also to his own team that were making statements to actually defend what was happening to try to defend this little girl.

So it shouldn't ever happen.

That's terrible.

Do we know a rough number of how many terrorists got in illegally?

Right now, illegally, no.

But what we do know legally is within the last couple of years, it's been close to 10 people on the terrorist watch list have been allowed into the United States by the Biden administration.

Yes, allowed in.

That's not including the ones that never made it to our radar.

That's crazy.

Why would would they allow them in?

What was their reasoning?

I think that's the question that everyone wants to know.

Why would you allow, right?

Normal people have to go through TSA at the airport because of 9-11.

I mean, you have to literally purchase, or if you want to purchase alcohol or cigarettes, you have to have an identification, right?

Why would they allow them in unless it was more nefarious?

And I just don't see any case in point where you would ever allow people in without the expectation that they're going to do something.

You know, you have a lot of things that don't make it to the news about threats against elected officials, etc.

There have been reports of sleeper cells in the United States from terrorist organizations.

It's not unheard of to think that something like that could happen and be organized on a mass scale.

What's a sleeper cell?

Individuals, whether they're working together or they're being told to work individually, that will activate kind of stay normal people, right?

You would think that your neighbor is a normal person and then they activate to carry out a terrorist attack.

Wow, that is scary.

And people are really uncertain about all this drone stuff going on, too.

Well, so there's hobbyists, right?

But then there's also, I think, you have cases like the Chinese spy balloon that traversed, that they were telling us, oh, we don't know what it was.

The Chinese spy balloon was

collecting information and data over the entire US.

Should have never happened.

And then you get into the issue of UAPs, which is completely separate.

But, you know, right now,

I think that it would be probably naive to think that people wouldn't start using drone warfare, kamikaze drones, against adversaries, against possibly President Trump.

So taking security serious is definitely, it's a new playing field.

We haven't had this experience before.

But I think when you're looking at what's happening right now with Russia and Ukraine, drone warfare is what they're fighting with.

And so I think it's changing the battlefield for sure.

Yeah, I mean, they're so advanced now.

I had a guest come on.

He said there's some drones the size of a fly.

Yeah, I believe that.

Spy drones.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Crazy times run.

Well, Ana, it's been really fun.

What are you working on next?

Where can people find you and keep up with you?

Yeah, you can follow me on my personal social media at RealAna Paulina.

But also, if you want to see what I'm doing from a ledge perspective, it's luna.house.gov.

And I think the biggest thing for us in the next two years is President Trump's agenda for his 100 days in office.

But I would say just stay vigilant, self-educate, question everything, and you know, have faith in your government.

But you know, make sure that you're doing your own research.

I love it.

Thanks, guys.
