Enabling a Static Route Causes Everything Else to Not Work

We currently have 2 WAN interfaces on our router. One is setup with a static IP and the other get the IP from the ISP via DHCP. Whenever I try to enable a static route to add the gateway for the former interface everything doesn't route correctly. No one can get to the 'net from the internal network.

Note: It says interface unknown because the interface and IP address are currently disabled as well.

try to do the following:
set add-default-route=no in dhcp-client, then add default gateway -- `/ip route add gateway=65.189.240.1,66.93.20.1'
should work

That allowed me to go out on our static interface but everything else still doesn't work. Even when I put in preferred sources.
