RFK Jr.’s Congressional Hearing was chock full of viral moments, including calling Elizabeth Warren out for her big pharma donors. Meanwhile, Ben Shapiro absolutely dominates the CNN Thunderdome as he outsmarts the entire panel.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech. It's
his laugh mission to make bad decisions.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's time for Florida man. That's right, it is time
for Florida Man. This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in d Dana Lash
Radio and X on Twitter to stay connected to everything
that she's doing at radio. CRAIGZ if you want to
be one of only a very small handful of people
who follow my random Yankee tweets on social media, but
at Dlash at Dana Lash Radio to get the good stuff.
A boy was found at a Chick fil A in Florida.
(00:37):
So this is Florida boy. I guess he's going to
grow up to be a great Florida man. He's five.
He decided to leave his house in the morning to
get breakfast at delicious Chick fil A. So smart kid,
he knows value. Video went viral, audio and viral of
this because cops got the kid at the Chick fil
A and brought him back home and he had a
quote adorable reaction to the fact that I had to
(01:00):
pick him up and bring him back to the house again,
starting a trend that hopefully doesn't exist for the rest
of this young man's life, although he does live in Florida,
where police bring him back home.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We arrived on the scene and as we walked in,
we see a little kid sitting at the table eating
his breakfast with one of the managers. If we asked
where he came from, and he kept saying he walked
to Chick fil A.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
You know where your house is, right right?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I wanted him to there of my patrol car and
I no, I'm not going to put you in jail.
And we started checking the ear if he had a
white fence right here. Yeah, and that's when we pull
it up in the traub way.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
You have a sign, yeah, a little boy.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, yeah, he was down at the Chick fil A.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
No, we haven't bet our police party want him.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
You could just see the look on his face would
be for any parent, including myself, it's disbelief.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, what do you mean my kid was at the
Chick fil A? Yeah, he got a free meal.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Because a five year old walks into a Chick fil
A by himself and managers take care of that. Call
the police, please get the kid back home. I do
love the little boy being like, am I going to jail?
I hope not. I don't know if I am. But also,
this Chick fil a is delicious. Again, I agree with
him entirely. Some other Florida stories more the typical version
you expect. During this segment, a Florida woman was recently
(02:17):
in a court case about losing her legal license. She
might be disbarred because she missed a meeting. She is
a divorce lawyer who skipped out on a divorce lawyer
you know hearing, which is not usually a good thing.
The reason why, and this is probably what makes it
so Florida. She actually was in jail because she wasn't
paying alimony to her ex husband after her divorce. So
(02:41):
a divorce lawyer by the name of Dorothy Huffnagel decided
that she doesn't have to pay her own alimony. That
someone else got on her and that causes her to
miss a hearing for another you know person that she's
representing in a divorce. I gotta think that her advice
is going to be terrible. You probably don't listen to
anything and everything she said. All right, one last one,
(03:01):
this one just interesting. Twenty nine year old Michael Houdak
was recently arrested in Florida. He stole a sixteen thousand
dollars rolex from his neighbor's home. Well, his neighbor was traveling.
The negative for Michael is that he's actually a television
reporter for an ABC affiliate in Miami, Florida. So the
guy who got arrested and was talked about on television
(03:23):
is a reporter who used to work at that station.
I imagine you get fired after you steal a rolex out
of your neighbor's home when you're pretty sure they're not
catching you, even though I guess they have surveillance video that.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Showed what happened.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
He was suspended without pay, and again, I'm pretty sure
he's getting fired.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I wait a report in the news.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
By making the news, Bud, did you know that fall

Speaker 2 (04:46):
The Dana Show.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in a thrilled to
be with you. A bunch of stuff out there to
talk about.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
A Robert F.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Kennedy Junior is testifying in front of senators and they're
playing a game of ridiculous gotcha that's seen is very stupid.
Jade Vance, a vice president. Vance actually tweeted this out
a little bit earlier. When I see all these senators
trying to lecture and gotcha Bobby Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Today, all I can think.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Is you all support off label, untested, irreversible hormonal therapies.
Therapies is in quotes for children, mutilating our kids and
enriching big pharma. You're full of bleep and everybody knows it.
That is jd Vance Today. Let's play a couple of
these clips. First, Let's play this moment demonstrating how unserious
(05:31):
Democrats are in the way they're questioning and handling Robert F.
Kennedy sitting Robert Kennedy Junior sitting in front of them
and having a discussion about how maybe it doesn't make
sense for our medical experts or the medical people in
charge in our country to advocate for a bunch of
untested pharmaceutical things that we probably shouldn't be taking. Look.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
Two young ladies in Las Crusiste, Mexico to town Hall
recently gave me this starfish pin. I was going to
give it to you today, but after your questioning today,
I don't think you deserve it, because what this represents
is to remember that every one of us can make
a difference sir, to something as small as a starfish
on a beach that maybe got washed up. You throw
it back in the ocean. You might not save them all,
(06:15):
but you can save one. I'm sorry that you're not
worthy of this nice little pins or is a nice reminder.
I'm going to pray for you, Secretary Kennedy.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I hope we do better.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
I want you to do better, but today was a
failure for you.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Man.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'm not giving you my pin. Man, That's what I'm
not doing. This is so dumb. You can't have my
starfish pin. I'm sorry. I'm taking my toys. I'm going home.
I'll see you guys next time. You're also not invited
to my birthday party. It feels like that's a version
of things. Here is Elizabeth Warren going back and forth
with Bobby Kennedy about a variety of topics, but among
(06:49):
them is her demand that he go back on some
of the changes that have happened with COVID, even though
the vaccine is available for almost anybody still, even though
very few Americans want any version of this anymore, even
the ones who got a multiple jabs. You know, a
couple of years ago, I no longer have interest. But
(07:09):
Elizabeth Warren and the money she makes from pharmaceutical companies,
I mean she has to be irates and Bobby calls
it out at one point here we go, you are.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Effectively denying people vaccines, not going to recommend a product
for which there's no clinical data for that indication, which
is that what I should be doing. What you should
be doing is honoring your promise that you made when
you were looking to get confirmed in this job like
this is you promised that you would not take away
(07:40):
vaccines from anyone who wanted them. You just changed the
classification of the COVID vaccine.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
I'm not taking them away from people, Senator.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
It takes it away if you can't get it from
your pharmacy.
Speaker 9 (07:53):
Well, most Americans are going to be able to get
it from their pharmacy for free dollars. Most Americans will
be to get it from their pharmacy.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Question is everyone who wants it? That was your promise.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
I never promised that I was going to recommend products
with which there is no indication.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
What you said, and I.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
Know you've taken eight hundred and fifty five thousand dollars
from pharmacy.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Did you hold up a bit on you know what.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
You know what's amazing about this too, And this is
something that I think Vice President Vance was trying to
get to in the discussion. The Democrats want you to
believe two things. They want you to believe that Republicans
are the bad guys, whoever they are. President Trump of
course is the big, horrible bad guy, He's the devil himself,
and then everybody else is also a bad guy. And
they want you to believe that Democrats are fighting the
(08:42):
bad guys. That's the whole job of the Democratic Party.
They're the good guys. They care about you. They want
to give you know, money and support to you through
the government. That's the entire narrative that they want. And
so when they get mad and yell at a bad
guy a Republican, you're supposed to like whatever the thing
is that they're yelling about. However, the problem with that
(09:03):
is when you actually look at the topic itself, you
remove the assumption of bad guy and good guy and
do what every American should do as a intelligent, well
thinking individual, not biten brained human being.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Is the best way to say it.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
You should think about the topic first, and in the
discussion here, what Robert F. Kennedy Junior is saying is
that he would not like to recommend things that have
no medical basis as a treatment for whatever the issue
is that you're trying to treat. Meaning there's no test,
there's no information, nothing proves that there's a value to
this medicine being put in your body. That's a very
(09:42):
simplistic a line to draw. It's actually one that a
lot of people would ask would be even harsher than
if you can give me some medical studies that prove
the value of this, I can go ahead and continue
to advocate for it. That's all he's saying. When Trump
is trying to send National Guard troops into cities that
have a huge problems with crime, all he's saying, and
(10:03):
it's very simplistic, is I'd like crime to be eliminated.
Here's a way that I think we can do it.
And again, all these other avenues where you go down
this road. In that road, the question itself or the
conversation should men play women's sports, should men be able
to go to the bathroom in women's restrooms? All of
these topics, if you remove bad guy and good guy
(10:24):
and just think about the the conditions and the context
of the discussion. You can't support the Democratic position. They
know it, we know it. You should know it if
you pay attention closely at all. It's just not a
position that's supported. So instead of that, you're not supposed
to think about the topic itself. You're not supposed to
think about the you know which side of this common
(10:46):
sense issue do I deserve to be on. You're just
supposed to perceive the Republican position is bad and the
Democratic position is good, and nod and say thank you
more of that, please, even if what they're fighting for
is medicine to be readily available for free through doctors
where pharmacies get a ton of money for it that
has no medical reason to be given to you and
(11:08):
no proof that it's going to help you at all,
for whatever the issue is, COVID or other things that
you're being treated forkel.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Tech the PR fifty seven. It is a rotary barrel
pistol chambered in five to seven percent lighter than the competition.
If you're looking for something for concealed carry, and the
way that they accomplish this two ways. The innovative rotary
barrel that makes it light but also a unique toploading
design that replaces the traditional magazine with a stripper clip
or a slimmer carry profile and a twenty plus one capacity.
(11:39):
It's a super fast and easy field strip. It's also
really affordable. MSRP is only three ninety nine, so it's
can be an everyday carry. Because it's smaller, you're not
losing any stopping power and made in America. Keltech Made
in America, based in Florida. You can find out more
(11:59):
about the fifty seven chambered in five seven at celtech
weapons dot com. That's k E l t Ecweapons dot com.
Tell them Dana sent you.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
It's time for Dana's Quick five. That's right, it's time
for a quick five on the Dana Show, a d
Lash a Dana Lash Radio and x on Twitter to
stay connected everything going on with her. One in eight
Americans or overthinkers. According to a brand new survey, forty
one percent of us say that our daily decisions are
second guests by us that we're not really sure what
(12:31):
we're doing there, But one in eight of us dives
real deep into all the different things that we contemplate.
If we did right wrong. Second guessing is kind of normal.
As I said, almost fifty percent of people do that part.
But I think that more often than not, your first
decision is usually the better one. Whenever I've gone to
the second guest decision after doubting my first decision, things
(12:54):
end up worse, not better. Twenty seven percent of people
admit that they're regularly stressed over simple decision that stuff
like anxiety at the supermarket on what you buy there.
There is also a portion of society. I'm not saying
it's just younger people, but it feels like it is
a lot of younger people who are stressed by things
that everybody else isn't stressed by. Maybe because you're less
(13:16):
conditioned to work in the real world and more condition
to see the internet version of society as some portion
of the real world. I really think that's a problem,
or that's the cause of some of the issues we see.
You shouldn't be nervous when you say, order a meal
at a restaurant. Just pick what you want, man, and
if it doesn't go well, pick something else, order a
(13:37):
second thing. Do life, however you need to do it
in order to survive. Other things out there a man
bug sprayed a couple. This is because they had cut.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Him in line.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Sixty five year old guy got upset he was cut
in line. He was like, how dare you do this
to me? His name is Daniel. He actually was in Florida.
I should have saved this as a Florida story, but
I'll do more of those later. But he was in
line at the public's grocery store and after they decided
that they weren't going to change, he just started whipping
out and spraying them with bugspray right.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
In their faces too.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
He then ran off, which is my favorite part of
the aggravated battery and bodily harm assault.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
One of the victims was actually hospitalized.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
They're both going to be okay, but bugspray to the
face is not usually a good idea. Daniel seemed to
think it was appropriate after he got cut in line.
And then finally, I'm going to play a quick game
with you. I know we only have about a minute
to do this, and I know you can't actually respond as.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Well as I hoped you could.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
The game is called is it TikTok or Medieval health Tips.
I have a list of six medieval health tips and
a list of like ten TikTok tips. So I'm going
to throw one out there, wait for a second for
you to decide which it is, and then move on
to the next one. You should shove garlic in your nose.
Is that medieval or is that TikTok? The answer is
(14:54):
actually that that's a TikTok trend. And it also is
quite dangerous that you should put a vinegar ask on
your face for glowing skin.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Is that medieval or is that TikTok? That one's actually
a medieval trend.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Apparently they used to rub vinegar, flour and oil on
their face to make it better. Finally, and this is
my favorite one dead vulture to cure everything. You decapitate
a vulture after you catch it in the wild, and
then you use every portion of it to do certain things.
One of them tie feathers to a woman's leg to
induce labor. Yeah, okay, find that one's medieval. Maybe I'll
(15:29):
do this more later. Ben Shapiro crushed CNN. It was
hilarious to watch on a multitude of issues. Ben Shapiro
was seen even just making faces sometimes when the Democrats
were talking. But what I think is really funny is
when you show up unprepared and you're going up against
(15:49):
a guy like the Ben Shapiro, and he has all
the goods and all the receipts and you do not,
it doesn't go well for you. And I'll play a
couple of these pieces of audio. We'll play more of
this throughout the show. But here's a couple of moments
where Ben sparred with talking heads on CNN.
Speaker 10 (16:06):
Those pictures around It was about patriotism. It was about
trying to get people excited about what could happen in
this country. This president is trying to raise money by
putting tariffs on our adversaries and allies alike in ways
that don't make any sense. There is no.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Largest tariffs in America.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
Nothing, nothing.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Spent most of his administration ripping on what he called
the malefactors were great.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
Well, we're still living off of a lot of the
public works we were building.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
By the way, what WHI are you against what Trump
is doing? Because he's doing a much lesser version of
what Fdr.
Speaker 10 (16:38):
No Trump Trump Trump has again, the left hand doesn't
know what the right hand is doing. Let me give
you an example. A ship building ship if you're a competent,
you better well you're just this is this is rhetoric,
but shipbuilding is.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
A great Okay, I really love that if you were competent,
it would be better as opposed to being incompetent. About
how he's adding tariffs to society and how fdr him
very much believe the tariffs with the right road to
gain money for the government, not necessarily to take a
whole bunch of our money via taxes, which is what
Trump also believes. And by the way, I do love
(17:10):
that everybody pretends as though this is all willy nilly,
like it doesn't make any sense, but all of it
is an aggressive This is how I understood the math,
an aggressive version of whatever our deficit is as far
as trade goes with the country, We're going to go
ahead and fix that by having a tariff that corresponds
to that deficit. And then you're like, well, wait, some
of the countries we added, you know, tariffs to we
don't actually have a deficit with them. Well, we kind
(17:32):
of feel like we do in other ways, whether it's
red tape and things that block the amount of goods
that we think we should be sending into those countries
that are not actually going there, the inability for our
you know, companies to make a lot of money when
going into other countries.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
There's other ways that we do. The math.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You can call it girl math if you want, which
is a funny thing from social media, where you decide
to buy something based on all the money you're saving
by not buying it more expensive later down the road,
Like if something's on sale, you have to buy it.
Is what I've heard is the version of girl math,
because if you buy it when it's not on sale anymore,
twice the cost, so really you're saving the sale money.
(18:09):
We could have done a version of that with tariffs,
but who cares, by the way too, because the effective
part is that it's creating a bunch of deals, which
is all Trump really wanted. And for anyone that's not
doing a deal, we're waking in tons of money, hopefully
money that the judicial system doesn't make us go ahead
and refund and send back places.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
But I just love every part of that one. Here's
another one.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
This is Ben Shapiro blasting CNN and their tone deaf
stance on Trump's crime crackdown. This is something that even
amazingly David Axelrod is all four. He's saying, again and again,
just accept the help from Trump. Stop saying that you
love the crime that exists in cities. So we'll go
ahead and play the Shapiro clip.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
We'll probably play axel Rod a little bit later on
in the show today. But here we go.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
What is to stop that? Ben?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
I mean, I think that, to be fair, the exertion
of more power by the executive branch has been an
ongoing process for the course of the last twenty years.
Minimum And you saw the Obama administration declared national emergencies
something like twelve national emergencies or under President Obama, something
like nine under Joe Biden. And they've had President Trump
declare a why variety of national emergencies. This isn't a
unilateral problem. I think it is a bilateral problem. With
(19:21):
that said, I think that we should separate a few
strands here. One is the legal that Eli was talking about.
One of the other things here, though, is I think
what Van was referring to, which is President Trump does
have a habit of wrongfooting his political opponents in a
unique way on this sort of stuff. There are five
hundred and seventy four murders in Chicago last year, and
you can make the argument, I think a plausible argument,
that National Guard troops should not be on the ground
(19:41):
enforcing crime, both legally and just as a matter of
general policy. But if the position you end up taking
is that there is no serious crime emergency in Chicago
on rhetorical level, not on a legal level, on a
rhetorical level, or you make the case that actually crime
in Chicago just isn't that big of aid deal, which
seems to be the mistake that many Democratic politicians are making. Yeah,
Trump is going to win that battle all day long.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
I mean, I hear you, but I also think I hear.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
You, but I don't want to listen. I hear you,
but I don't want the thing you said to be true.
That's evidently true.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
There is the rhetorical level which we could focus on,
but I mean I also want to focus on the reality,
like the actual things that are happening. And even to
that point, I mean, voters are not I think we
treat voters as stupider than they are. You ask them
the goals and they say, we think crime is a problem.
We don't like the way Trump is handling it in
(20:32):
the way that he is sending the National Guard.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, why do you think some voters are saying that,
Not all the voters, by the way, just some of
the voters. It's because of the way Democrats are reacting,
pretending as though this is some sort of authoritarian takeover,
when the reality is that if you just accepted the help,
if the National Guard came in assisted Chicago, assisted all
these places and whatever fashion that looked like, worked with
(20:54):
the police there instead of working instead of the police
in certain places. Whereas U Shapiro is starting to talk
about the legal problems in that world, Yes there are laws,
there are things that prevent a military from behaving like
local police forces, but it doesn't prevent them from assisting
local police forces. So a willingness to accept help, which
(21:15):
again even David Axelrod is begging Democrats to start doing,
makes all of this problem go away. It's the defiant fight,
the refusal to take the support, that is the only
problem in this entire situation as of right now, and
it is something where the American people definitively believe, I'm
not a fan of crime. I want less of it
(21:35):
wherever I live, all right, quick Break, a lot coming up,
Craig Collins filling in on The Danas Show.

Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech. It's
his laugh mission to make bad decisions.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's time for Florida man. That's right, it is time
for Florida Man. This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in d Dana Lash
Radio and X on Twitter to stay connected to everything
that she's doing at radio. CRAIGZ if you want to
be one of only a very small handful of people
who follow my random Yankee tweets on social media, but
at Dlash at Dana Lash Radio to get the good stuff.
A boy was found at a Chick fil A in Florida.
(00:37):
So this is Florida boy. I guess he's going to
grow up to be a great Florida man. He's five.
He decided to leave his house in the morning to
get breakfast at delicious Chick fil A. So smart kid,
he knows value. Video went viral, audio and viral of
this because cops got the kid at the Chick fil
A and brought him back home and he had a
quote adorable reaction to the fact that I had to
(01:00):
pick him up and bring him back to the house again,
starting a trend that hopefully doesn't exist for the rest
of this young man's life, although he does live in Florida,
where police bring him back home.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We arrived on the scene and as we walked in,
we see a little kid sitting at the table eating
his breakfast with one of the managers. If we asked
where he came from, and he kept saying he walked
to Chick fil A.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
You know where your house is, right right?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I wanted him to there of my patrol car and
I no, I'm not going to put you in jail.
And we started checking the ear if he had a
white fence right here. Yeah, and that's when we pull
it up in the traub way.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
You have a sign, yeah, a little boy.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, yeah, he was down at the Chick fil A.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
No, we haven't bet our police party want him.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
You could just see the look on his face would
be for any parent, including myself, it's disbelief.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, what do you mean my kid was at the
Chick fil A? Yeah, he got a free meal.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Because a five year old walks into a Chick fil
A by himself and managers take care of that. Call
the police, please get the kid back home. I do
love the little boy being like, am I going to jail?
I hope not. I don't know if I am. But also,
this Chick fil a is delicious. Again, I agree with
him entirely. Some other Florida stories more the typical version
you expect. During this segment, a Florida woman was recently
(02:17):
in a court case about losing her legal license. She
might be disbarred because she missed a meeting. She is
a divorce lawyer who skipped out on a divorce lawyer
you know hearing, which is not usually a good thing.
The reason why, and this is probably what makes it
so Florida. She actually was in jail because she wasn't
paying alimony to her ex husband after her divorce. So
(02:41):
a divorce lawyer by the name of Dorothy Huffnagel decided
that she doesn't have to pay her own alimony. That
someone else got on her and that causes her to
miss a hearing for another you know person that she's
representing in a divorce. I gotta think that her advice
is going to be terrible. You probably don't listen to
anything and everything she said. All right, one last one,
(03:01):
this one just interesting. Twenty nine year old Michael Houdak
was recently arrested in Florida. He stole a sixteen thousand
dollars rolex from his neighbor's home. Well, his neighbor was traveling.
The negative for Michael is that he's actually a television
reporter for an ABC affiliate in Miami, Florida. So the
guy who got arrested and was talked about on television
(03:23):
is a reporter who used to work at that station.
I imagine you get fired after you steal a rolex out
of your neighbor's home when you're pretty sure they're not
catching you, even though I guess they have surveillance video that.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Showed what happened.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
He was suspended without pay, and again, I'm pretty sure
he's getting fired.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I wait a report in the news.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
The Dana Show.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in a thrilled to
be with you. A bunch of stuff out there to
talk about.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
A Robert F.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Kennedy Junior is testifying in front of senators and they're
playing a game of ridiculous gotcha that's seen is very stupid.
Jade Vance, a vice president. Vance actually tweeted this out
a little bit earlier. When I see all these senators
trying to lecture and gotcha Bobby Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Today, all I can think.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Is you all support off label, untested, irreversible hormonal therapies.
Therapies is in quotes for children, mutilating our kids and
enriching big pharma. You're full of bleep and everybody knows it.
That is jd Vance Today. Let's play a couple of
these clips. First, Let's play this moment demonstrating how unserious
(05:31):
Democrats are in the way they're questioning and handling Robert F.
Kennedy sitting Robert Kennedy Junior sitting in front of them
and having a discussion about how maybe it doesn't make
sense for our medical experts or the medical people in
charge in our country to advocate for a bunch of
untested pharmaceutical things that we probably shouldn't be taking. Look.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
Two young ladies in Las Crusiste, Mexico to town Hall
recently gave me this starfish pin. I was going to
give it to you today, but after your questioning today,
I don't think you deserve it, because what this represents
is to remember that every one of us can make
a difference sir, to something as small as a starfish
on a beach that maybe got washed up. You throw
it back in the ocean. You might not save them all,
(06:15):
but you can save one. I'm sorry that you're not
worthy of this nice little pins or is a nice reminder.
I'm going to pray for you, Secretary Kennedy.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I hope we do better.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
I want you to do better, but today was a
failure for you.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Man.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'm not giving you my pin. Man, That's what I'm
not doing. This is so dumb. You can't have my
starfish pin. I'm sorry. I'm taking my toys. I'm going home.
I'll see you guys next time. You're also not invited
to my birthday party. It feels like that's a version
of things. Here is Elizabeth Warren going back and forth
with Bobby Kennedy about a variety of topics, but among
(06:49):
them is her demand that he go back on some
of the changes that have happened with COVID, even though
the vaccine is available for almost anybody still, even though
very few Americans want any version of this anymore, even
the ones who got a multiple jabs. You know, a
couple of years ago, I no longer have interest. But
(07:09):
Elizabeth Warren and the money she makes from pharmaceutical companies,
I mean she has to be irates and Bobby calls
it out at one point here we go, you are.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Effectively denying people vaccines, not going to recommend a product
for which there's no clinical data for that indication, which
is that what I should be doing. What you should
be doing is honoring your promise that you made when
you were looking to get confirmed in this job like
this is you promised that you would not take away
(07:40):
vaccines from anyone who wanted them. You just changed the
classification of the COVID vaccine.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
I'm not taking them away from people, Senator.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
It takes it away if you can't get it from
your pharmacy.
Speaker 9 (07:53):
Well, most Americans are going to be able to get
it from their pharmacy for free dollars. Most Americans will
be to get it from their pharmacy.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Question is everyone who wants it? That was your promise.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
I never promised that I was going to recommend products
with which there is no indication.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
What you said, and I.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
Know you've taken eight hundred and fifty five thousand dollars
from pharmacy.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Did you hold up a bit on you know what.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
You know what's amazing about this too, And this is
something that I think Vice President Vance was trying to
get to in the discussion. The Democrats want you to
believe two things. They want you to believe that Republicans
are the bad guys, whoever they are. President Trump of
course is the big, horrible bad guy, He's the devil himself,
and then everybody else is also a bad guy. And
they want you to believe that Democrats are fighting the
(08:42):
bad guys. That's the whole job of the Democratic Party.
They're the good guys. They care about you. They want
to give you know, money and support to you through
the government. That's the entire narrative that they want. And
so when they get mad and yell at a bad
guy a Republican, you're supposed to like whatever the thing
is that they're yelling about. However, the problem with that
(09:03):
is when you actually look at the topic itself, you
remove the assumption of bad guy and good guy and
do what every American should do as a intelligent, well
thinking individual, not biten brained human being.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Is the best way to say it.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
You should think about the topic first, and in the
discussion here, what Robert F. Kennedy Junior is saying is
that he would not like to recommend things that have
no medical basis as a treatment for whatever the issue
is that you're trying to treat. Meaning there's no test,
there's no information, nothing proves that there's a value to
this medicine being put in your body. That's a very
(09:42):
simplistic a line to draw. It's actually one that a
lot of people would ask would be even harsher than
if you can give me some medical studies that prove
the value of this, I can go ahead and continue
to advocate for it. That's all he's saying. When Trump
is trying to send National Guard troops into cities that
have a huge problems with crime, all he's saying, and
(10:03):
it's very simplistic, is I'd like crime to be eliminated.
Here's a way that I think we can do it.
And again, all these other avenues where you go down
this road. In that road, the question itself or the
conversation should men play women's sports, should men be able
to go to the bathroom in women's restrooms? All of
these topics, if you remove bad guy and good guy
(10:24):
and just think about the the conditions and the context
of the discussion. You can't support the Democratic position. They
know it, we know it. You should know it if
you pay attention closely at all. It's just not a
position that's supported. So instead of that, you're not supposed
to think about the topic itself. You're not supposed to
think about the you know which side of this common
(10:46):
sense issue do I deserve to be on. You're just
supposed to perceive the Republican position is bad and the
Democratic position is good, and nod and say thank you
more of that, please, even if what they're fighting for
is medicine to be readily available for free through doctors
where pharmacies get a ton of money for it that
has no medical reason to be given to you and
(11:08):
no proof that it's going to help you at all,
for whatever the issue is, COVID or other things that
you're being treated forkel.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Tech the PR fifty seven. It is a rotary barrel
pistol chambered in five to seven percent lighter than the competition.
If you're looking for something for concealed carry, and the
way that they accomplish this two ways. The innovative rotary
barrel that makes it light but also a unique toploading
design that replaces the traditional magazine with a stripper clip
or a slimmer carry profile and a twenty plus one capacity.
(11:39):
It's a super fast and easy field strip. It's also
really affordable. MSRP is only three ninety nine, so it's
can be an everyday carry. Because it's smaller, you're not
losing any stopping power and made in America. Keltech Made
in America, based in Florida. You can find out more
(11:59):
about the fifty seven chambered in five seven at celtech
weapons dot com. That's k E l t Ecweapons dot com.
Tell them Dana sent you.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
It's time for Dana's Quick five. That's right, it's time
for a quick five on the Dana Show, a d
Lash a Dana Lash Radio and x on Twitter to
stay connected everything going on with her. One in eight
Americans or overthinkers. According to a brand new survey, forty
one percent of us say that our daily decisions are
second guests by us that we're not really sure what
(12:31):
we're doing there, But one in eight of us dives
real deep into all the different things that we contemplate.
If we did right wrong. Second guessing is kind of normal.
As I said, almost fifty percent of people do that part.
But I think that more often than not, your first
decision is usually the better one. Whenever I've gone to
the second guest decision after doubting my first decision, things
(12:54):
end up worse, not better. Twenty seven percent of people
admit that they're regularly stressed over simple decision that stuff
like anxiety at the supermarket on what you buy there.
There is also a portion of society. I'm not saying
it's just younger people, but it feels like it is
a lot of younger people who are stressed by things
that everybody else isn't stressed by. Maybe because you're less
(13:16):
conditioned to work in the real world and more condition
to see the internet version of society as some portion
of the real world. I really think that's a problem,
or that's the cause of some of the issues we see.
You shouldn't be nervous when you say, order a meal
at a restaurant. Just pick what you want, man, and
if it doesn't go well, pick something else, order a
(13:37):
second thing. Do life, however you need to do it
in order to survive. Other things out there a man
bug sprayed a couple. This is because they had cut.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Him in line.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Sixty five year old guy got upset he was cut
in line. He was like, how dare you do this
to me? His name is Daniel. He actually was in Florida.
I should have saved this as a Florida story, but
I'll do more of those later. But he was in
line at the public's grocery store and after they decided
that they weren't going to change, he just started whipping
out and spraying them with bugspray right.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
In their faces too.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
He then ran off, which is my favorite part of
the aggravated battery and bodily harm assault.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
One of the victims was actually hospitalized.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
They're both going to be okay, but bugspray to the
face is not usually a good idea. Daniel seemed to
think it was appropriate after he got cut in line.
And then finally, I'm going to play a quick game
with you. I know we only have about a minute
to do this, and I know you can't actually respond as.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Well as I hoped you could.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
The game is called is it TikTok or Medieval health Tips.
I have a list of six medieval health tips and
a list of like ten TikTok tips. So I'm going
to throw one out there, wait for a second for
you to decide which it is, and then move on
to the next one. You should shove garlic in your nose.
Is that medieval or is that TikTok? The answer is
(14:54):
actually that that's a TikTok trend. And it also is
quite dangerous that you should put a vinegar ask on
your face for glowing skin.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Is that medieval or is that TikTok? That one's actually
a medieval trend.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Apparently they used to rub vinegar, flour and oil on
their face to make it better. Finally, and this is
my favorite one dead vulture to cure everything. You decapitate
a vulture after you catch it in the wild, and
then you use every portion of it to do certain things.
One of them tie feathers to a woman's leg to
induce labor. Yeah, okay, find that one's medieval. Maybe I'll
(15:29):
do this more later. Ben Shapiro crushed CNN. It was
hilarious to watch on a multitude of issues. Ben Shapiro
was seen even just making faces sometimes when the Democrats
were talking. But what I think is really funny is
when you show up unprepared and you're going up against
(15:49):
a guy like the Ben Shapiro, and he has all
the goods and all the receipts and you do not,
it doesn't go well for you. And I'll play a
couple of these pieces of audio. We'll play more of
this throughout the show. But here's a couple of moments
where Ben sparred with talking heads on CNN.
Speaker 10 (16:06):
Those pictures around It was about patriotism. It was about
trying to get people excited about what could happen in
this country. This president is trying to raise money by
putting tariffs on our adversaries and allies alike in ways
that don't make any sense. There is no.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Largest tariffs in America.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
Nothing, nothing.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Spent most of his administration ripping on what he called
the malefactors were great.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
Well, we're still living off of a lot of the
public works we were building.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
By the way, what WHI are you against what Trump
is doing? Because he's doing a much lesser version of
what Fdr.
Speaker 10 (16:38):
No Trump Trump Trump has again, the left hand doesn't
know what the right hand is doing. Let me give
you an example. A ship building ship if you're a competent,
you better well you're just this is this is rhetoric,
but shipbuilding is.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
A great Okay, I really love that if you were competent,
it would be better as opposed to being incompetent. About
how he's adding tariffs to society and how fdr him
very much believe the tariffs with the right road to
gain money for the government, not necessarily to take a
whole bunch of our money via taxes, which is what
Trump also believes. And by the way, I do love
(17:10):
that everybody pretends as though this is all willy nilly,
like it doesn't make any sense, but all of it
is an aggressive This is how I understood the math,
an aggressive version of whatever our deficit is as far
as trade goes with the country, We're going to go
ahead and fix that by having a tariff that corresponds
to that deficit. And then you're like, well, wait, some
of the countries we added, you know, tariffs to we
don't actually have a deficit with them. Well, we kind
(17:32):
of feel like we do in other ways, whether it's
red tape and things that block the amount of goods
that we think we should be sending into those countries
that are not actually going there, the inability for our
you know, companies to make a lot of money when
going into other countries.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
There's other ways that we do. The math.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You can call it girl math if you want, which
is a funny thing from social media, where you decide
to buy something based on all the money you're saving
by not buying it more expensive later down the road,
Like if something's on sale, you have to buy it.
Is what I've heard is the version of girl math,
because if you buy it when it's not on sale anymore,
twice the cost, so really you're saving the sale money.
(18:09):
We could have done a version of that with tariffs,
but who cares, by the way too, because the effective
part is that it's creating a bunch of deals, which
is all Trump really wanted. And for anyone that's not
doing a deal, we're waking in tons of money, hopefully
money that the judicial system doesn't make us go ahead
and refund and send back places.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
But I just love every part of that one. Here's
another one.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
This is Ben Shapiro blasting CNN and their tone deaf
stance on Trump's crime crackdown. This is something that even
amazingly David Axelrod is all four. He's saying, again and again,
just accept the help from Trump. Stop saying that you
love the crime that exists in cities. So we'll go
ahead and play the Shapiro clip.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
We'll probably play axel Rod a little bit later on
in the show today. But here we go.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
What is to stop that? Ben?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
I mean, I think that, to be fair, the exertion
of more power by the executive branch has been an
ongoing process for the course of the last twenty years.
Minimum And you saw the Obama administration declared national emergencies
something like twelve national emergencies or under President Obama, something
like nine under Joe Biden. And they've had President Trump
declare a why variety of national emergencies. This isn't a
unilateral problem. I think it is a bilateral problem. With
(19:21):
that said, I think that we should separate a few
strands here. One is the legal that Eli was talking about.
One of the other things here, though, is I think
what Van was referring to, which is President Trump does
have a habit of wrongfooting his political opponents in a
unique way on this sort of stuff. There are five
hundred and seventy four murders in Chicago last year, and
you can make the argument, I think a plausible argument,
that National Guard troops should not be on the ground
(19:41):
enforcing crime, both legally and just as a matter of
general policy. But if the position you end up taking
is that there is no serious crime emergency in Chicago
on rhetorical level, not on a legal level, on a
rhetorical level, or you make the case that actually crime
in Chicago just isn't that big of aid deal, which
seems to be the mistake that many Democratic politicians are making. Yeah,
Trump is going to win that battle all day long.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
I mean, I hear you, but I also think I hear.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
You, but I don't want to listen. I hear you,
but I don't want the thing you said to be true.
That's evidently true.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
There is the rhetorical level which we could focus on,
but I mean I also want to focus on the reality,
like the actual things that are happening. And even to
that point, I mean, voters are not I think we
treat voters as stupider than they are. You ask them
the goals and they say, we think crime is a problem.
We don't like the way Trump is handling it in
(20:32):
the way that he is sending the National Guard.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, why do you think some voters are saying that,
Not all the voters, by the way, just some of
the voters. It's because of the way Democrats are reacting,
pretending as though this is some sort of authoritarian takeover,
when the reality is that if you just accepted the help,
if the National Guard came in assisted Chicago, assisted all
these places and whatever fashion that looked like, worked with
(20:54):
the police there instead of working instead of the police
in certain places. Whereas U Shapiro is starting to talk
about the legal problems in that world, Yes there are laws,
there are things that prevent a military from behaving like
local police forces, but it doesn't prevent them from assisting
local police forces. So a willingness to accept help, which
(21:15):
again even David Axelrod is begging Democrats to start doing,
makes all of this problem go away. It's the defiant fight,
the refusal to take the support, that is the only
problem in this entire situation as of right now, and
it is something where the American people definitively believe, I'm
not a fan of crime. I want less of it
(21:35):
wherever I live, all right, quick Break, a lot coming up,
