We've got the latest developments in the war with Iran, including the sad news that a seventh US servicemember has died - state media Fox News is running cover for the President's disrespectful fashion choices

Democrats won't budge on funding the Department of Homeland Security, which means longer lines at some airport. Should TSA agents keep showing up to work even if they aren't getting paid on time?

Troy Henry's firm was selected to develop the old Six Flags / Jazzland site - now reports say they are asking for more money. What gives? Troy Henry calls in with the latest

How much is it really gonna cost to redevelop the old Six Flags? Can Troy Henry really turn around New Orleans East's economy? Another rare Fox News apology for misleading their audience; Iran war claims a seventh US servicemember as a victim

Send a textPart two of my interview with Barbara Adler is as juicy if not juicier than part one and I did not expect that. I start by laying out every single one of Epstein's 46 shell companies — the real estate holdings, the aviation companies, the offshore financing vehicles, the pass-through shells, and the master trust with 40 secret beneficiaries named for his birth year. I name the three people who ran his in-house accounting and compliance — Richard Kahn, Bella Klein, and Harry Beller — and ask why none of them have been brought in front of Congress when Bella literally pleaded the Fifth. I break down Liquid Funding Limited out of Bermuda that was loaded with the exact mortgage-backed securities that caused the 2008 financial crash — and then play you the clip of Epstein bragging about being on the phone with Bear Stearns and JP Morgan simultaneously during the crash FROM PRISON. Then Barbara and I go deeper than part one. She tells me about Naomi Campbell trafficking her best friend Sky to Russell Simmons — LSD, Bahamas weekends, threesomes, and how Russell would pay for their apartments and then replace them when they got boring. She brings up Vladislav Doronin and the mystery island he supposedly built for Naomi in the shape of a horus eye — there are architectural drawings in magazines BUT... I found out who Barbara's modeling agent was — Faith Cates who founded Next Model Management — and when I dug into the Epstein files what I found made my jaw drop. Faith had social emails with Epstein, invited models to his dinner parties, and he's telling her he's spending Thanksgiving with Trump and others in 2017 — years after his conviction. Epstein donated to her cancer charity and a tennis center where her son worked. And Faith is the agent who introduced Stacey Williams to Epstein — and Stacey is the woman who alleges Trump groped her at Trump Tower with Epstein watching and smiling. Jean-Luc Brunel owned 25% of Faith's company. I tell Barbara about Ruslana Korshunova — the Russian model who jumped from a ninth floor balcony in 2008 after visiting Epstein Island two years before. No drugs or alcohol in her system. Her mother believes she was murdered. I tell her about Karen Mulder — one of the biggest supermodels  I connect Paul Marciano from Guess to Mohamed Hadid and explain how the shadow mansion network worked with girls. Barbara tells me about Epstein speaking to her directly — how he was non-emotional with a creepy smile and asked very specific questions about her upbringing and background.  And what about the second Island...Full episode only available at Dishing Drama Dana Patreon, it's only $6.00 a month, join the fun! https://www.patreon.com/cw/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkeySupport the showDana is on Cameo!Follow Dana: @Wilkey_Dana$25,000 Song - Apple Music$25,000 Song - SpotifyTo support the show and listen to full episodes, become a member on PatreonTo send Dana information, show requests and sponsorships reach out to our new email: dishingdramadana@gmail.comDana's YouTube Channel

Part of the problem with New Orleans' being stuck in the past and underdeveloped is that some people would just rather nothing good happen if they can't be a part of it

City Park doesn't get enough credit for being as fantastic an amenity as it is - and big improvements are coming. What memories do you have there?

Cam Newtown has 9 kids but says he's staying single because marriage is a trap. Is he right? What are the reasons for one to be married nowadays, anyway?

What did President Trump think was going to happen? By his own admission, death is part of war, so why is he so bent out of shape about reporters reporting?

Hegseth and Leavitt have had it up to HERE with pesky reporters telling the American public that six US servicemembers died in Operation Epic Fury

Iran's attacks aren't just attacks on US allies and interests anymore - the entire region is having to swat down missiles, rescue sailors and more as Operation Epic Fury burns on

Kristi Noem is out as DHS Secretary and plenty of conservatives are joining liberals in celebrating the end of her disastrous run

Hot off the presses, President Trump has fired Kristi Noem and appointed Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her. Within moments, the average IQ of the US Senate jumped 10 points

KRISTI NOEM OUT AT DHS; Who is gonna peel all these crawfish? Not Americans, no sir; Trump and the GOP are knives out for LEGAL immigration, too; Presidents need to be OK with the media reporting on war deaths; What's the point of getting married, anyway?

White House's hand was forced into bombing Iran, according to White House; Hey maybe we're getting an office shower; Georgia high school shooter's Dad convicted on his kids' murder charges; Anti-war left finds themselves in alignment with North Korea, Russia; What's the Greatest Rock Song of all time?

Entertainment Tonight has named their pick for the Greatest Rock Song of All Time. We have thoughts about it - and apparently, so do you, too!

Turns out "shoot first, ask questions later" doesn't guarantee you have good answers when it comes time to answer the questions

Marco Rubio and Mike Johnson were on-message when they told reporters that they had to strike Iran because Israel was gonna do it first, forcing our hand. Then, Trump says, no, that's not what happened. Nice

At times when our country is at war with another country - we should put politics aside and support the President of the United States. But under the current political climate in America that is much easier said than done.

Colin Gray was convicted by a Georgia jury after his 13 year old son shot up his school. Is it the beginning of a new era of accountability for family members when their kids commit gun crimes?

The US and Israel struck Iran over the weekend, killing the Supreme Leader and effectively decapitating the regime. Is this going to get worse before it gets better? Could it become another quagmire like Vietnam or Iraq?

Trump and Hegseth are both reading from the same page, trying to assure Americans that this attack on Iran won't become a drawn out conflict with no good options for exit

What impact will the war on Iran have on the 2026 midterms? How will 2028 hopefuls sort themselves out over this contentious issue? Dr. Bo Kabala from Tarleton State University has more

After he got loaded and picked a few fights over Mardi Gras, actor Shia LaBeouf is having a moment - but we shouldn't have to put up with his shenanigans here

We're at war with Iran - what comes next? What's the vibe shift on an aircraft carrier when war breaks out? Is the tail wagging the dog? Who is REALLY paying for the war against Iran? Can someone make Shia LaBeouf go away already?

Yes, the US and Iran are the ones doing the bombing runs - but lot of other countries in the Middle East have a lot on the line when it comes to Iran. Who is really calling the shots?

Why can't we see Hillary Clinton's Epstein testimony? No free speech for Robert DeNiro, apparently; Bill O'Reilly is back and is a big snowflake; Some people just can't understand what they are hearing; David in Covington is on a low vibration today; What's it like dating in New Orleans?

A new list of the best dating cities in America is out - how does New Orleans rank, and what's it like to try to find a mate in the Crescent City?

Does it matter if politicians cheat on their spouses? Often the most moralizing politicians are the least moral; Is it possible to lead the nation if your own spouse can't trust you? The GOP Senate Primary in Texas is weird and getting weirder; Comer's committee wants the truth about Epstein - just not from Trump

Hillary Clinton wrapped up testimony to the House Oversight Committee yesterday, to tell them what she knew about Jeffrey Epstein and when. But why wasn't the media there?

Robert DeNiro said something about Trump on MS-NOW that Bill O'Reilly didn't like so now he thinks DeNiro should catch a charge

Don't know who needs to hear it, but just because one politicians may have assaulted a minor doesn't mean anyone else is off the hook for cheating on their wife

An increasing number of men in politics who have been caught cheating are not losing much ground with their constituents - is it possible we just don't care any more?

What is it about the devout among us that leads them to act with such hypocrisy when it comes to adultery and lust? Marcel has a theory

They've been testing it out at UNO and now it looks like a program is coming together that could mean autonomous vehciles on New Orleans streets delivering hot food. What could go right?

Scoot talks to Elmo in New Orleans East about tonight's State of the Union speech, and when a President automatically deserves the respect of the American people - or not

All eyes are on the President tonight - his allies are preparing America for a glorious victory lap but Democrats are telling a different story

The boil water advisory is over, but it's really only a matter of time before we have another one. Is this just a sacrifice we have to make for the privilege of living here?

Amid reports of Democrats boycotting the State of the Union and widely held expectation that Trump will use the platform to bully and denigrate his political opponents - does anyone expect any better?

New reporting shows about 53 pages of Trump-related documents are missing from the DOJ's Epstein Files release, because of course they are.

The boil advisory is lifted, hallelujah! What do we sacrifice by living in New Orleans? Do you have to respect Trump to respect the office of the President? Politicians need to lead and set an example of decency and respect; What's up with these missing Trump pages from the Epstein Files?

Angry attitudes about immigration have led to harsher immigration policies that are tearing at the country's social fabric - and raising the price of crawfish

Law enforcement officers close to the investigation and new analysis makes it increasingly impossible to believe that the iconic Nirvana frontman died by suicide
