Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Danish show.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about out
there in the world today. Dlash, Dana Lash, radio, on
x on Twitter are great ways to stay connected to her.
This was a question yesterday to the White House Press Secretary.
I can't remember if I played it on this show
or another show that I do in radio, So I
apologize if this is stuff that I'm bringing back from yesterday,

(00:23):
but it's still great. This is a back and forth
or the reporter where Caroline Levitt says the answer that
a lot of us are thinking, and I do think
that this is absolutely the right next step, the pivot
in the conversation about what was horrific about Minneapolis, Minnesota
and what needs to be done to get to the
root of the actual problem, the things causing these issues,

(00:44):
and blaming those who are in even some way responsible.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
This is the second shooting involving a trans identifying shooter
who specifically targeted Christians and Katlack kids. What kind of
consequences do the gender affirming therapists, doctors, for even the
parents of these shooters After these types.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Of shootings well as for the parents and potential therapists
in this case. Again, all of that is still currently
being investigated by the FBI. I know the Secretary of
Health and Human Services this morning said that HHS is
investigating perhaps links between some of these drugs and these
prescription drugs that some of these miners may be taking
in an increase in violence. Obviously, we have mental health

(01:24):
problems in this country that this administration and Secretary Kennedy
will continue to speak out about in the work that
we're doing to solve it.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yes, that is good and actually yes, Robert F.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Kennedy Junior said yesterday, and I'm sure I played this
audio on the show that one of the label aspects,
one of the warnings on some of the medicine that's
given to people that say their transgender is a suicidal
and homicidal ideation, which is a terrifying thing to say
out loud again and to consider as a likely aspect

(01:54):
of some of these discussions, some of these points. So
one hundred percent makes sense when we look at this
and talk about this and how awful all these kind
of things are, and it's really insane that people refuse
to talk about that part of the discussion about how
right now you're being told that something that is not
attainable a man cannot become a woman, that you can

(02:16):
be that, and then when it doesn't work out, the
person who is mentally not doing well is mentally doing
even worse and does something horrific like shoot children in
a school. Also, of course, targeting people for religious reasons
with for some reason media hates to talk about. All right,
let's move on to something that's more uplifting, although apparently
making CNN upset even though they are celebrating something without

(02:39):
giving credit to the people who deserve the credit. If
you're planning on driving this holiday season, guess what. Gas
prices are way down. Things are going way better. And
then we're going when you had a guy in the
White House who was in a war against oil and gas,
who campaigned that he was going to do things to
harm oil and gas, When you have someone who's saying, drill, baby, drill,

(03:00):
apparently things go best.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
If you're planning a road trip this holiday weekend. Gas
prices at their lowest level for a Labor Day weekend
in years. In some states, they are below three dollars
a gallon Matt Egan is here with the good news.
We have say goodbye to summer, but we're going to
do it and save some cash.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
That's right, That's right, Erica. Look, you are in luck
if you're hitting the roads this holiday weekend. Gas Buddy
is projecting the national averages labor Day three point fifteen
a gallon. That's the lowest since twenty twenty. Of course,
back then the roads were pretty empty because of COVID.
You can see the trap.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Wait a minute, I know that COVID was one of
the reasons that gas prices were low. But who was
in charge for some of the time going on there
when gas prices were good before someone else took over
and then gas prices were horrible for a while.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
What policies we're dictating that sort of stuff? I don't know.
Go ahead, tell me more.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
In the past few years, the expectation is that personal
will be a little bit lower than last year, but
significantly lower than three years ago when we were looking
at almost four dollars a gallon. Of course, prices had
gone to record highs.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
And man, I wonder who was in charge in twenty
twenty two, who was causing some of those issues?

Speaker 6 (04:07):
More good news. Drivers In fifteen states across the country,
the average there is now below three dollars a gallon.
That includes Iowa, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
And yeah, things are pretty good in Texas where I live.
By the way.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
What I think is really hilarious about this is media
and a lot of politicians will tell you that the
president doesn't affect gas prices. Nothing he can do to
make prices go up and down. It's something you don't
even understand how it all works. It works very differently
and internationally and with all this other stuff. And yet
if our country changes how much a gas it's creating,

(04:44):
how much you know, oil and sweet, sweet delicious things
we're drilling, apparently it does impact things somehow. Things do
change when there's more supply to meet demand. Because our
country is one that's uniquely capable of putting out a
significant amount of supply. I have something that's weird that
that somehow actually has an impact.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I thought that was impossible. All right, some.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Other things out there that I wanted to play. This
is sad, and it goes back to starting to react
to some of the beginning of what we talked about
when I opened the show, and the horrific thing that
happened earlier this week where children were the target and
two children died because a deranged lunatic with mental health issues,
a transgender man I decided to shoot children in.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
A church at school.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
The left is trying to tell you that this is
not a hate crime and that essentially this sort of
thing isn't really happening. People aren't motivated to hurt people
of faith. Well, here's a problem with that. Apparently the
data doesn't support that. Apparently the incidents of attacks on
people in churches or seems like somehow, you know, the

(05:54):
focus on harming people that are people of faith, it
has gone way up. The data and over the last
couple of years demonstrates that there is in fact a
quote unquote war against people of faith, as less and
less young people even think that they do I believe
in anything. Here's a little bit of data on.

Speaker 7 (06:10):
That their board called hostility against churches in the United States,
released this month by the Family Research Council, found that
last year there were four hundred and fifteen incidents of
hostility against three hundred and eighty three different churches across
forty two different states, mostly vandalism in arson, but at
least twenty eight cases involved guns. Twenty twenty three saw

(06:31):
the highest number, four hundred and eighty five, but last
year's total is still more than a four year span
from twenty eighteen combined.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Wow, that's crazyy eighteen to twenty twenty one, two hundred
and eighty six, twenty twenty three. For some reason, four
hundred and eighty five now four hundred and fifteen in
twenty twenty four. What could possibly be going on that's
causing people to do this. This reminds me of a
conversation I had with a relative, a niece of mine,
who blamed religion and seem to have very specific information

(07:02):
on very specific aspects of things and the history of
how religion was created and certain religions, but blamed it
for being the reason that people are radical in our society.
And here's what I actually think is happening. There are
certain discussions, whether they're in the world of politics or
somewhere else where two people disagree. There's a lot of
conversations where people disagree, but there's certain ones where they

(07:25):
disagree where the person that is on one side of
that argument goes, well, I believe what I believe because
of my faith, and the person on the other side
gets mad because there is no counter argument, there's no
response to that that they've come up with. Yet the
person believes what they believe because of their faith. I
believe that people shouldn't commit abortion, that abortion should be
something we prevent in our society because I believe that

(07:48):
all life is important because of my faith, et cetera, etc.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
You get the idea.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
There's some of these arguments where it goes that way,
and I think this is the byproduct of being mad.
You don't have a better counter argument. And do I
believe what I believe because I'm a person of faith.
I don't even really need data to back up some
of the faith based things that I believe. I'm not
saying it's not out there, and I'm not trying to
dismiss the significance of data.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I actually laugh a whole lot at people who do that.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
But I will say that there are certain things in
my life that I believe because of you know, my religion,
because I'm a Catholic, and I believe it regardless of
if you tell me that you can disprove it, things
like does God exist? And people do try to disprove
that in all kinds of ways, although at the end
of everything you really can't. There's no real definitive way

(08:36):
to say no there and so that is what faith
asks me to take that leap at some point to
believe that certain things might have happened, like you know,
Jesus came back from the dead, and people try to
disprove that and whatnot. Again, all of this, I'm not
trying to make this an overly fa faith based show
fundamentally misunderstands to me and the people who don't have

(08:59):
a faith. This may make sense to me, but the
whole point of it, and even now when they're saying
that you can't have prayer be something that you offer people,
I just want to say as clearly as possible, the
families that lost loved ones, or the families that had
their children injured when a deranged person shot up a
church that the kids were inside of, have asked for prayers.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
They want prayers.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
They're people of faith who are praying for the other
people who are involved in this. And so how dare
we as a society say that prayer is inappropriate when
the people who are the actual victims, experiencing the actual
thing are asking for that, How dare we disregard that
desire of theirs and say, no, it's not important, it's
not appropriate, it's an excuse. We don't like the fact

(09:45):
that it's an excuse for people to try to avoid
what we think the only solution to this problem is again,
even if there are multiple potential solutions, and if the
one that you throw out all the time, that taking
the guns away thing wouldn't actually work. And we know
that because well darn it, we've had federal ban on quote,
assault weapons in the past and it didn't do anything
to help us. All Right, I'll take a break, a

(10:07):
lot to talk about. We'll try to have fun. It
is a holiday show, so we got to have as
much fun as we possibly can, because, darn it, the
truth and the serious and all this other stuff all
the time, it just gets to be a lot to handle.
So let's do some things where it's just about silly.
That's coming up in a bit. Craig Collins filling in
on the Dana.

Speaker 8 (10:25):
Show partners at Bernagun Because a lot of college kids
under the age of twenty one, they live by themselves
and they're not old enough to carry a handgun on
constitutional so they still have to protect themselves in some manner.
This is one of the reasons why you like the
burnagun because of the legal flexibility of it. First off,
if you're unfamiliar with what it is, bernergunn shoots chemical
irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to fifty

(10:47):
feet away. Two versions. They have rifles in that, but
I think for this the purposes you need to look
at the SD, which is their best selling pistol, or
the CL which is thirty eight percent smaller than the
sdre not losing any of that deterrence. You're not like,
it's still easy target acquisition, zero recoil. When you think

(11:07):
of stun guns, you got like one or two rounds
in that at best, right, But with the burn gun
you I mean, good grief. With the CL you got
fifteen rounds, So that's a fifteen round shock capacity per cartridge.
They have different projectiles, different accessories, but it gives you
a way to protect yourself when you are disarmed, either
through private property restrictions municipal restrictions. It does not care

(11:31):
about gun free zone signs. There are no background checks,
there are no permits, there are no fees. It can
be sent right to your door, so it's accessible to everybody,
even if you don't have a welcome at because you
didn't think about it, Sons. You can find it at
burna dot com slash data. That's where you can find
the CL. Also check out the SD but the CL

(11:51):
thirty eight percent smaller, more concealability b y r in
a dot com slash data burner.

Speaker 9 (11:56):
Ready when you are.

Speaker 10 (11:58):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
That's right, it's time for the Quick five on the
Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in d
LASH Dana Lash Radio and X on Twitter. Micah Parsons
is now a Green Bay Packer. He's no longer Dallas
Cowboy and many people are calling it the worst trade
in the history of Cowboys'.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Team history. It's hilarious to me. And here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
The Cowboys should have traded this player or at least
demonstrated a willingness to trade this player several months ago,
let's say four or five months ago. Because of the
unique talent of this guy, the ability for teams to
compete over getting that talent, thinking that there might be
a chance that he stays in Dallas or he goes elsewhere.
The worst kept secret in football is Mike had desperately

(12:47):
wanted off of this team, so much so that the
guy started eating nachos when he's supposed to be playing
during the NFL preseason. I know this isn't a sports show,
by the way, I'm just quickly trying to talk about this.
I think it's interesting that the Cowboys continue to and
that Jerry Jones might be the catalyst to a lot
of that spiraling.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
At this point.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
He hires head coaches that seem like they'll just listen
to whatever he wants them to do. He puts himself
in front of cameras and microphones at a time when
most owners would be very quiet about a star player
having a contract dispute, publicly reacting to the things that
Michael wanted was not a good way to retain the player,
which they would know, which made things worse and crazier.

(13:27):
And so at the end of the day, I just
kind of feel sad. I'm not a Cowboys fan, far
from it actually, but I do think that when the
Cowboys are good, that helps the NFL, and when the
Cowboys are bad, that hurts the NFL. And this trade
hurts the Cowboys and thus the NFL for a while,
it's going to be a bit. Bill Belichick's company is
managed by Jordan Hudson, his twenty something year old girlfriend,

(13:51):
and that's hilarious to me. This company also did file
a trademark for gold Digger, and I think they're going
to be making some jewelry and some key chains and
whatnot that have a gold.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Digger as a part of them.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
So apparently Bill and his twenty something year old girlfriend
think that the jokes about her being a gold digger
are funny enough to monetize them to make money off
of it. A guy in his seventies dating a woman
in her twenties, I'm never going to judge the dude,
because that's a unique thing, and a lot of guys
in that part of their life would also love to

(14:24):
have someone of that age be romantically tied to them.
And if that even means that they're there for the
money and not for the love, I think at some
point you might.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Not care about that. Anymore.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
I love saying that out loud too, because there are
people that get up in arms and mad about it.
Even have a family member that told me how disgusting
the whole thing is, how gross it is. And yeah,
for Jordan, it's probably not ideal. I would think that
it's not great. But if you're Bill Belichicker envisioning yourself
someday being Bill Belichick's age, gross is not the word
I think of when he gets a shot to be

(14:55):
in a relationship with her again, even if he's helping
her create a certain jewelry and whatnot, and it seems
to be leaning in to the thing a whole lot
of people assume is already happening. Anyway, I feel bad
for Bill Belichick, That's the thing I can say out there,
But I don't think that he's the one participating in
the gross activity.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
All right, Another thing out there.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
A hacker used AI to automate an unprecedented cyber crime spree.
This is according to several experts, it's scary how easily
this was done and how AI can enhance the crime
spree to make it much quicker than a human could
do it and much more significant. Essentially, if you ask Ai, hey,

(15:33):
help me with this crime spree thing I want to do.
It pops up the little paper clip and it goes,
how would you like me to do that for you?

Speaker 1 (15:41):
What things do you need to get done?

Speaker 2 (15:42):
And then you go from there yet another version of
how Ai is probably going to ruin our society, not
help our society, and most of us should be terrified about,
you know, Skynets at some point taking over.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
One final thing, China.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Is building a brain computer interface industry, which also seems bad.
It also seems like the kind of thing you might
not actually want, and China, of all places, the location trying.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
To do this.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Look, I will readily admit on this very show filling
in for Dana that aspects of becoming a cyborg or
some version of half machine half man intrigued me. I
would like a power and capability. I'd like to be
a superhero essentially, whether it's mentally and or physically, and
if machines can help get me there. Part of me
is willing to change, or at least consider changing the

(16:32):
natural body that I currently have, and yet the other
part of me realizes how easy this stuff is hacked,
and the last thing I'd ever want to do is
have like my computer eyeball hacked in a bad way.
I laugh as I say that, but it would be terrible.
And so putting computers in your brain or using interfaces
that interact with your brain seems like a really bad idea,

(16:53):
and a lot of us know it.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
A lot of us are saying it, but darn it.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
The magic of feeling superhuman is also out there, the temptation.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Maybe you let several people barrel through this rabbit.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Hole before you even try it, and even then you're
probably doomed.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
We're all doomed.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Anytime I see an AI story right now, the first
thing I do is look to see the moment where
I'm pretty sure we're doomed, and if it's not there,
I take a nice breath. If it is there, which
it usually is, I'm like, all right, great, another one
of those all right, quick break. A lot to talk
about today, Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

Speaker 8 (17:24):
Web scammers just scammers in particular. It's gotten so much
more sophisticated now that we live so much of our
lives digitally. And it's not just you, right, it's your kids,
and it's your parents, and you know your whole family,
and if you're online, you need to have reliable digital
protection that's not going to slow you down. And this
is where Webroot comes in. It's affordable options for individuals

(17:47):
and families. It's like having a little digital secret service
right protecting you online. That's how effective it is. Because
they cover so many different points, so many fronts where
you could be vulnerable, whether it's identity protection, whether it's
anti virus and web protection like actual real time protection
against malware and ransomware and phishing and more. They have

(18:08):
built in firewall, they have a web threat shield that
blocks malicious websites all kinds of stuff, and you can
also get up to a million dollars in SEFF related
expense reimbursement. They have dark web monitoring, credit and financial monitoring.
You would be shocked at how vulnerable you really are digitally.
People always think it's not going to happen to them
until it does. And like I said, now you have

(18:31):
multiple you know, your kids and your parents that you
have to think of as well. This is where Webroot
comes in, and right now you can get fifty percent
off of webroots Total protection or Webroot Essentials by going
to webroot dot com slash data. Now that's the only
place to get fifty percent off. You will not get
it anywhere else but webroot dot com slash Data. That's

(18:52):
fifty percent off of webroots Total Protection. Start living a
better and safer digital life with Webroot.

Speaker 11 (19:00):
The Danish Show podcast You're fast, funny and informative news
companion for those always on the move. Subscribe on YouTube,
Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
This is the Danish Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff to talk about out there in the world. This
makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I'm going to play a
portion of this because it makes me very mad. This
is a talking head on CNN saying that the shooting
that happened in Minneapolis is not a hate crime for

(19:35):
dumb reasons, and then actually going even further to say
that it is a far right media narrative that it
was a hate crime, even if all of the information
is screaming the thing that he doesn't want to be true.

Speaker 12 (19:46):
Just gets a little nuance. And I teach a class
on this in Georgetown. This individual appears to be what
we call a nihilist, and not to get into too
much detail about their ideology, they believe that no lives matter.
I believe that calling this or investigating this as an
attack against Catholics, I believe is a little disingenuous and

(20:07):
it plays into the far rights narrative about Christians being
under attack in this country.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Which they are.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
By the way, there is a significant increase in the
amount of people who are attacking churches.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
But darn it, that data doesn't matter. None of that matters.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
They only want to be able to say that there's
unique victims of a quote unquote hate. If those victims
are on the left, if they're Democrats. If someone who
seems to be a Democrat seems to hate Trump and
writes on the gun, you know, kill Trump along with
other horrible things, and then targets children and takes the
lives of children, well that person has to be protected
as not someone who's motivated by hate, which is insane.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
It's fully insane, all right.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Something else out there that's really interesting and certainly garnering
more and more attention, is an obsession with going after
people that are helping President Trump trying to negotiate peace
between Russia and Ukraine. One of those individuals at the
forefront of this discussion is someone that for whatever reason
a Politico wanted to put a hit piece out about.

(21:08):
Steve Whitcoff is someone who has been doing tremendously good things,
according to a bunch of people within the current administration.
Within President Trump's White House, these include the Vice President,
the Secretary of State Jared Kushner, who's on the record
a bunch of people said things to Politico saying how

(21:29):
invaluable Steve is to the entire process. And yet a
headline came out the other day written by someone who's
pretty far on the left saying his inexperience shines through
Whitcoff struggles to manage Russia as Trump piece envoy. And
something that again in the article, a bunch of deep
background anonymous people are saying, is the problem is that

(21:50):
there's been things offered that aren't going to be delivered
on etc.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Etc. This is so significant that jd.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Vance decided to put out a long tweet refuting so
much of it. Here is part of what the Vice
President said. This story from Politico is journalistic malpractice. But
it's more than that. It's a foreign influence operation meant
to hurt the administration and one of our most effective members,
which is fascinating to hear him call Witkoff so utterly

(22:17):
different than what Politico wants him to be. And then
if you go down it's a big statement, he says,
it's some at one point to set the record state
he is, he is an invaluable member of our team.
He did not mislead anyone on what the Russians told
him and what the Russians conceded. Trust me, I've seen
the intel, the Vice President saying this. The fruits of

(22:37):
his negotiation are that we have narrowed the list of
open issues in the Ukraine Russia conflict to a set
of clearly defined issues, specifically security guarantees, territorial concessions. That
is it, that's what's likely to be the end result
of potential peace or the failure of peace. Will Russia

(22:57):
get the you know, terror toy that they want, will
Ukraine concede there? And will Ukraine get a guarantee protection
moving forward that they want, especially if they give up
more territory than they want to, or will they be
incapable of getting that from places like the United States. Finally,
Jada Vance on Twitter says, maybe we make peace, maybe

(23:18):
we don't. If we do, it will be because of
Steve and the President of the United States work as
they work their tails off in the face of outright
lies from the mainstream press cheering against the success of
the United States to negotiate. This piece is insane and
it's exactly what members of the left are doing. I
love in the tweet out there where Jadavance is refuting

(23:41):
a lot of this narrative, he also does say simply
the author is either an idiot or in on it,
in on trying to shape a narrative as something far
different than what the actual reality is. Because, Yeah, I
oftentimes believe that many individuals in media in today's world,
since media is a young person game, you'll see a

(24:01):
lot of people, especially producers in newsrooms that are in
their twenties. I do think a lot of them are
just useful idiots. Are there people who expect a certain story,
go looking for that story, and anyone who's willing to
tell them that that story is true. Those are the
people they trust and they ignore everybody else. But I'm
sure there are also people who are in on it
that get some sort of money, some sort of funding

(24:21):
to say these ridiculous things. But this is essentially Russian propaganda,
according to the Vice President, trying to undermine the authority
of an individual who is helping to get Ukraine and
Russia closer and closer to being countries that actually do
have a peace agreement. That just seems uniquely un American,
or just the kind of person who wants to hurt

(24:42):
society as a whole. The author of this piece, I'm
not even naming the person because I don't want to
give them any sort of additional publicity through this show.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
I could, it.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Doesn't matter, but it's just so annoying to me again
that these individuals are out there writing the things they're
writing and acting like the deep sources. The sources are valuable.
We've seen this game time and time again. We know
how stupid it is and how untrue it is, and
in all honesty, it's only helping to prevent something that
would be universally considered good, a piece between Russia and Ukraine.

(25:14):
All right, let's play some audio of the Mayor of
Chicago in Uptown. There talking about opening up a narkan
newspaper stand, narcan vending machines, all kinds of drug response
things are becoming more and more prevalent in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
I wonder what a year from now.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Will be like there, if you'll see a lot of
overcrowded attics, dealers, homeless people on the street close to
the narcan vending machines. But apparently this is more important
than actually fighting crime and removing crime from the streets
of Chicago. You want to say no to the president
who's offering to send National Guard troops to Chicago who
already live in the area, because that's how that whole

(25:54):
thing works. Instead of doing that, though, Chicago would very
much like to open up some ways to treat people
who are having drug overdoses and not deal with the
rampant crime in any other way.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Here we go important.

Speaker 13 (26:06):
Narc cann is a safe, legal medication that can reverse
an opioid overdose and it saves lives. So we want
to ensure that everyone here in Uptown and around Chicago
has access to life saving medication. And that is why
my office, working with all the women, Clay and Commissioner

(26:26):
Ega are working so hard to make nark cann widely
available through vending machines and stands like the ones that
you see here on display today.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
All Right, real quick, I lived in Uptown for a while.
It's just on the north side, like the near north
side of the downtown area. A wele a little bit
further than that. It's just past Wrigleyville and whatnot. But
the thing about that area and that place, as you
get further and further away from, say that the heart
of downtown or even the south side, because there's a
lot of not bad things going on, you feel fairly

(26:57):
safe even walking around late at night, at least you
did a certain amount of years ago.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
And I couldn't think of something.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Worse to add to some of these neighborhoods than a
narcan vending machine. Because if the overdoses aren't happening in
great numbers in Uptown, and I'll have to look into
if things have changed since I lived there last, if
they're not happening there, and even if they are happening there,
I'm not sure this is the right response to that situation.
As you and I both know, it's probably going to
make things worse, not better. But nonetheless, it does seem

(27:24):
to be creating an incentive for people who are on
the South side causing a lot of drama and chaos
to move to the north side, to relocate to another
area and cause more drama in new places, and so
there seems to be an ulterior motive in all of this.
This is somewhat horrible and terrible, mind you, again, for
people who probably no longer would want to say, go

(27:45):
to the bar late at night and take the train
home late at night, as where he's standing is actually
uniquely close to the train as well. All right, some
other things out there that I wanted to talk about.
I do find this fairly interest too, And just again,
so many of the different versions of how people have discussions,

(28:07):
they seem to demonstrate the truth of what's going on
and how afraid they are of talking about the truth,
whether it is the Minneapolis shooter or what have you.
Gavin Newsome was asked a question in a press conference
about crime in California, and he was asked a real
question with a significant need for a actual answer. He
seemed to get mad at the idea that the question

(28:29):
was asked, and then he was ushered away before any
follow up questions could get more specificity from the governor
about the actual problem of crime and how bad it
is in places like California.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Here we go at the same time. We're here because
you're surgery law.

Speaker 14 (28:42):
Enforcement across the steam.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
So do you believe that crime is a problem in
California or not?

Speaker 15 (28:48):
Well, sort of curious question. I made the entire point
that crime is an issue and we want to tackle it,
and we continue to do more in that space, announced
and highlighted some of the expansion. What is not contradictory, respectfully,
is that we're doing it in partnership with our local communities.

(29:10):
We did it in partnership with the Biden administration prior.
We're not talking about the nationalization, the militarization of the
Guard and militarizing United States cities.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
So here, let me ask you a question, mister Newsom,
and I think this is what the reporter was getting to.
And again you're going to be ushered away from this
platform after the end of this answer, so you can't
answer anybody's questions anymore. But I would like to say
to him as a folve to that everything you just
bragged about, all the working with communities, working with Biden's administration.
It obviously failed who obviously didn't get the results you

(29:42):
need because guess what, crime still exists and it's still
a big problem in California. So, like the other reporter
was trying to ask a second ago, I'm going to
repeat his question, do you actually care about solving the problem?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Because if you keep doing the.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Same thing over and over again and claiming you're expecting
a different result, you're insane. If you actually know you're
not getting a different result, then you don't think it's
a problem, or you don't care about getting a solution.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
It's either or.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
You're either insane, which I can accept, or you're someone
who definitely knows the things you're doing won't work and
the things you're saying no to would work, and for
some reason you don't want that to happen. But go ahead,
let's let him usher away the contrary. Oh yeah, right,
we're done now, And now you can't ask the question
at all. You got to leave because someone actually wants

(30:29):
to challenge the individual, challenge the human. This is just crazy,
And again a part of me, I can't help but
say that there has to be a reason that they
like crime in these areas that the big cities want
you to be dependent on the politicians who run them,
who are overwhelmingly democratic. And by the way, the AI
for Twitter owned a lie that JB. Pritzker told. I

(30:53):
will get to that a little bit later on in
the show because it's so amazing. But these democratic run
cities that are rampant with crime, it seems to be
one of the best ways for the politician to keep
you dependent on them is to not fix it, to
claim they're doing everything they can, to ask for more
of your money, and then to let it get worse,
not better. And maybe just like in places like Mexico,
maybe some of the criminals are sending some money some

(31:15):
certain directions. I'm not sure, But nonetheless, this just seems
like the kind of moment where you ask yourself do
you actually care? And the answer is we have to go.
We have to leave, all right, A quick break, A
lot coming up. This is Craig Collins filling in on
the Data show.

Speaker 8 (31:28):
As we move our partners that he'll bring you the
program Relief Factor is a great way to manage everyday
aches and pains without having a prescription medication to do so.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Lots of stuff
out there to talk about, Dlash, Dana Lash Radio and
X on Twitter to stay connected to all things and
Dana A great job done by her and the team
on everything they put up on social A woman was
charged for driving with a steel metal staircase on top

(33:06):
of her car, which is a really weird thing to do.
The woman was in Canada, not Florida, Otherwise this would
have been in our Florida Man stories that we do.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
In about an.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Hour, she was caught with the giant staircase on top
of her car in something that many people described is
very unsafe. At least one onlooker had a reaction on
a video because instead of calling the police, the thing
we do now is we take out our camera and
we put up a social media reaction video and then
hopefully somebody else is calling the cops.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Here you go, oh.

Speaker 15 (33:35):
Can you dive like this?

Speaker 9 (33:38):
This is not what's a license plate that is so bad?

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Like yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
To the Indian lady that's very upset about this, I
don't know how you can drive like that.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
The only thing missing from the giant staircase on top
of the regular car was the dude whose hand is
out the window holding it. Because my favorite is always
the guy with the mattress or whatever it might be,
who thinks that his physical strength is enough that if
everything goes wrong the item on top of the car
becomes untied and it starts to dangle in the wind,
that you'll be able to hold it, Or that if

(34:08):
you know, you crash or something and it tries to
shoot off the vehicle, that again you'd be able to
restrain it and stop it from going anywhere.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
It is the only thing missing.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Otherwise this would have been absolutely perfect. But yes, in Canada,
a woman driving around in crazy way she shouldn't. A
baby was born in a McDonald's parking lot.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
I do like part of the story here.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
They're mclove and their little nugget is that's terrible is
something that someone wrote. But a Michigan woman gave birth
in a McDonald's parking lot to their brand new baby.
The baby's nickname is a nod to the fast food chain.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
At least Rotunda had her fourth child.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
The famous Rotunda's a daughter named Matilda on August eleventh,
and to honor the Golden Arches entrance to the world,
they gave her the nickname.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
They gave her nickname a slight adjustment.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
The Rotunda's apparently always planned on calling her Matilda, but
the nickname Tilly her on her birth certificate, and they
changed it to Mick Tilly because darn it, if you
have a baby in the McDonald's parking lot, I think
you at least are required to add a mick out
of that situation, which is hilarious to me. I do

(35:15):
love that a lot. But anyway, again, I don't know
how the baby gets born in the parking lot of McDonald's.
Why you decide not to go anywhere. She's got several kids,
so I've heard some things about the more kids you have,
the quicker you go from the beginning stages to the
end stages of birth of a child.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
So maybe that was it. I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
The woman also has Type one diabetes, and so there
might be some other things.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
That they were worried about or what have you. But
she's fine.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Everybody's doing okay, and she popped out mctilly in a
parking lot, which is something else. All right, one other
quick story before we take a break and move on
to other things. I do love a list online of
the stuff you shouldn't say in an interview.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
It will most not help you get the job.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
There's like four or five tips out there for things
you shouldn't say, but one of them is you shouldn't
ask about having a work life balance. This is not
because it's not important to say not have to work
twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, but
you at least want to pretend in the interview that
you're someone who's going to dedicate yourself to the job.
Later on, if someone's asking you to work on the
weekend and you don't want to, you can say no.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
It seems like a bad.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Idea to negotiate a I'm already employed to hear conversation
before you've been given an offer and a job to
work complace. So I thought that was an interesting tip.
Is the next time you think about having an argument
with someone over something that would only be relevant after
you have a position, maybe wait to have the gig
first before having said discussion. All right, we'll take a break.

(36:44):
A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the
Dana Show.

Speaker 8 (36:47):
Our friend's over at super Beach the super Berene product,
which is a great product. They have it now also
at Sam's Club along with the super beachs Heart Shoose.
So if you are healthy metabolism and if this is
one of your areas of concern and also helping to
control your blood sugar levels, metabolism link to everything. Blood
sugar levels incredibly important. This is where Superberine comes in.

(37:09):
It's plant based, doctor formulated, it's a unique form of
high absorption berberine. And then you have all Italian olifort
extract as well for antioxidant cardiovascular support and that olifrid
extract also helps to minimize any GI distress. Now, the Superberine,
it's highly concentrated. That means one easy to swallow capsule

(37:30):
a day. It's been clinically studied to deliver ten times
higher absorption than standard burbering. You can find the new
Supermarine and the number one best selling Superbeatsarchoes at Sam's
Club and that's where you can rastock your heart health
support with the Superbeats arches as we just said, and
the Superberine for healthy metabolism and blood sugar support, start
to day get on the road to better cardiovascular health support.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Creig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff to talk about. I do love the fact that
people are up in all because the former vice president
will have her Secret Service detail taken away from her
just before her book tour gets going. The President said
she doesn't need it and she'll probably be able to

(38:11):
fund something on her own with the massive amounts of
money she raised and then somehow ound up in debt,
and so the Democratic Party's still given her caseh I'm
sure she'll be fine. The thing I find funny about
this is that I can't possibly imagine that Kamala Harris
is going.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
To have a successful book tour.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
There's so many people who couldn't want to hear her
speak as much as she's claiming people want to hear
her speak. She's going to roll through Houston along with
other areas, and I know there's some people who are fans,
and I've actually like talked to people who live in
this city who believe that she lost because of racism,
which is insane to me because.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
I'll look at someone and I'll ask them a question.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
I'll be like, well, what do you think the things
she did were that really showed how good she was
going to be at the job.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
And they're like, well, I don't know, I don't know
what that is. There's nothing. There's no hallmark moment.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
There's no I'm really great at speaking into a microphone
a sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
There's none of that.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
There's just a bunch of being terrible and talking in
what I like to call drunk fortune cookies. And apparently
now that version of thinking has been put into a
book and she's going to do a whole book tour.
But yes, her secret Service security detail excuse me, has
been taken away. It's also nice that we're saving some money.
We're trying to do the best we can. But it

(39:23):
doesn't mean that she's going to just wander out on
the streets alone and hope to be okay. I'm sure
they're going to figure out another way to make sure
that she's protected and safe from the droves of people
that are not expected.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
To show up at any of the events that she's
going to be a part of.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
But that is something that's just sort of amusing to
me that that becomes a headline because people just want
to vilify anything and everything Trump does, even if again,
those things are going to have very little impact on
the actual existence of how people behave in our society
and whether or not Kamala comes up with the money
to protect herself. Another way, all right, the Press Secretary

(39:59):
made a pretty hilarious admission when talking about the people
that have been leaving the CDC. Yes, of course they
fired some people. Some people went the other way.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
A Robert F.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Kennedy Junior also uniquely honest about what was going on there.
I have both of those pieces of audio that we
can play. But here is Caroline Levitt being asked a
question about additional individuals who are leaving the CDC beyond
the ones that are high profile and in the news,
and she has a unique response to how it's totally
fine with her if these people lead.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
I understand there were a few other individuals who resigned
after the firing of Miss Monarez.

Speaker 9 (40:35):
One of those individuals.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
Wrote in his departure statement that he identifies pregnant women
as pregnant people. So that's not someone who we want
in this administration anyway. So if people are not aligned
with the President's vision, in the Secretary's vision to make
our country healthy again, then we will gladly show them
the door.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah see, yeah bye, not going to miss you at
all if you don't understand that babies come out of
women and not other men, and that's just a weird thing.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
By the way, Actually, you know what, I just remembered.
I have this audio too.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
This happened on CNN where you have the one individual
on CNN who's willing to actually say stuff that sort
of makes sense, Scott Jennings or oftentimes actually does make
sense now and the rest of the group who are
just terrible, horrible people saying terrible, horrible things. It's honestly
the best way I could possibly say that. That's the

(41:26):
best way I could summarize the things that actually occur there.
But Jennings did get in an argument with several people
about the whole can men pop out babies?

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Which just real quick before I.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Say anything else about it is one of the more
amusing things to me that has become a discussion point
between the left and the right, because if you rewind
a certain amount of years and you say to yourself, man,
I wonder what the political arguments are going to be.
Not many people would come up with the idea that
men and women are going to be debated as to

(42:00):
whether or not all of them can make babies, whether
or not it's a thing that men can do at all.
That's that's not a discussion point that you have any
level of expectation eventually being a reality in the world,
and yet, darn it, it currently is. And so when
the left wonders how they're losing support with people, it
may be just a little bit because they seem to

(42:21):
blatantly disregard very obvious facts if they think that it
somehow hurts them and their political opinions or the optics
of their their you know, opinions. And it's it's insane
to watch these things happen. But here a case in
point is this back and forth with Scott Jennings where
he's talking to people about, you know, if men can
pop out a baby, and it's just again to me,

(42:44):
sort of amazing that this is the kind of thing
where where people want to you know, object to the
to the style of conversation or the focus on these issues.
They're acting as though this isn't important and it obviously is.
I'll tell you why in a second.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
I just I just have to say he did use
the term pregnant people in his risk.

Speaker 16 (43:06):
I'm sorry, I.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Question is that. Yes, I love that sound.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
I love that Scott is saying and it is actually
really annoying, so I don't I don't love the actual
sound of it, but I love the fact that it occurred.
That's maybe a better way to say that. What's so
awesome about this, in my opinion, is that he's saying
that I don't trust the professional opinion of a medical
person who doesn't acknowledge that women are the only people who.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
Can have babies, which is very rational.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
If I were to be sitting down with a doctor
before check up, new doctor, trying them out, seeing if
this is somebody that I'm gonna like or not, and
we're just having a casual conversation about some of their
beliefs and they mentioned to me that they think men
can have babies. I'm pretty sure they didn't get their
degree from any sort of real medical college.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
And immediately leave, I'm like, you know what, we don't
need to do the physical.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
I will maybe see if something needs to be worked
out down the road. But you have a good days there,
but a very obvious moment where you're like, Okay, this
person has abandoned medical opinions for the sake of some
sort of political loss that they think is a win.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Continued talking about it.

Speaker 17 (44:22):
Are you serious? Come on, no, no, no, are you serious
that this is that? Of all the things that we're
talking about here, immunizations, vaccines, autism, about on communicable diseases,
on cancer, and you are the most concerned about someone's use.

Speaker 9 (44:41):
Of the word people.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
No, no, no, birthing people, not just the word people.
I'm sure that there's a lot of other times where
this guy had used the word people that I would
not have a problem with, and Scott Jennings would not
have a problem with. The deterioration of the respect for
the difference between men and women is hurting women, and
they know it and they don't care about it. It's
crazy to hear them say this stuff though. It's crazy

(45:06):
actually to watch a white man argue with anybody, but
argue with women about the fact that they're the only
ones who can have babies.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
It's insane.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
In the society we live in, because people want to
vilify the white guy for not being woke, not you know,
caring enough, not wanting to watch the WNBA because it's
not as good as the NBA, whatever it might be,
even if Caitlyn Clark is uniquely interesting to watch. And
this is the version of propping women up, being like
you are special, you do something we can't do, and
being like how dare you sir?

Speaker 6 (45:37):
No.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
But even better than that is the argument that you
really want to talk about this simplistic topic instead of
the more difficult things where we think we have more
of an argument against the things you're going to say,
you really want to focus on the easiest thing.

Speaker 18 (45:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
And the reason why is that if I can demonstrate
the craziness of someone with a very obvious point, if
I can say out loud that this person doesn't just
respect medically because of their insanity in how they think
about who does and who doesn't pop out a baby,
then all that other stuff doesn't matter. I'm not going
to take math lessons of an advanced level from a

(46:12):
guy that can't add. If I sit down in the
math class and the guy's like, all right, we're about
to get into imaginary numbers. But before we do that,
just a quick demonstration of the capability I have as
your math professor. Two plus two equals seven. I get
up and I just leave. I leave the room, and
I'm like, we're good. It's fine, because again I doubt
that he got an actual degree from any sort of
real place. And that's essentially the argument the left is

(46:34):
trying to make here, is that you need to listen
to the more complex points that we're having, that we're
discussing based on this person or people at the CDC,
and we don't want you to focus on the very obvious,
easy one that discredits the whole rest of the conversation,
because we don't want that. We don't like that part.
All right, One last thing I do want to say,
and I have a bunch of audio. I'm choosing not

(46:55):
to play it, and not because I want to shy
away from this topic. I think it's a vitally important
that you defend people of faith from the attacks that
are happening right now to them. Whether those are just
simple verbal attacks of people saying that thoughts and prayers
are inappropriate after a horrible thing happens in society, or
the actual attacks is more data is showing that more

(47:17):
churches are the target of.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Crime, a violent crime.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Something like two to three times the amount of churches
over the last two years have been the target of
things like this compared to what we had seen in
the past three or four years combined.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
And so as you say all that, as.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
You reflect on being two days removed from another transgender individual,
a guy, a biological man choosing to attack a school
and children and a church, a place that he had
gone before, a place that he uniquely hated, and in
his manifesto says that he wants to see children in pain.
When you see all that, you just say to yourself,

(47:55):
how horrific it is that this is a conduit for
people to have a common conversation where they try to
tear down religion because it does feel like the devil.
And again, I'm not trying to be overly religious on
the show today. I'm not trying to force that down
your throat if you're someone that doesn't care about this
sort of thing. But there is no better example to
me of the power of any sort of side of

(48:20):
you know, good and evil that wants to tear down
good than trying to say that prayer something that actually
the victims of the tragedy are asking for is an
inappropriate solution or an inappropriate you know, path to at
least being emotionally maybe capable of healing at some point,
who knows when if families are even capable of doing that,

(48:41):
but through prayer, through faith, being able to go that
road to do it. Saying that that's useless, saying that
the kids were already praying in the church and didn't
do anything like all the horrible things they say about it.
To vilify religion only makes that worse. And so it
does seem to be important as a pundit to want
to come out and defend a religion and people who
have a a belief in faith today because it does

(49:02):
feel like a conversation between you know, good and Satan.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
All right, I'll take a break. A lot coming up.

It is a rotary barrel pistol chambered in five seven
forty percent lighter than the competition. If you're looking for
something for concealed carry and they 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 where a slimmer carry profile
and a twenty plus one capacity.

Speaker 9 (49:35):
It's a super fast and easy field strip. It's also
really affordable.

Speaker 8 (49:40):
MSRP is only three ninety nine, so it's can be
an everyday carry. Because it's smaller, you're not losing any

Speaker 10 (50:05):
Now all of the news you would probably miss. It's
time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
This is the Danish show.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
My name is Craig Collins filling in d Lash Dana
Lash radio on x on Twitter to stay connected to
her at radio CRAIGC if you want to find me somewhere.
But it's time for quick five, let's fire some off.
Should we find people who blast loud music in public,
on public transit and other places. That's a question being
asked by Metro dot co dot UK to people in

(50:33):
the UK. But I've got it. I'm doing this story
and I say the answer is yes, I think you
should get a fine. May be a bare handed beating
is another thing that was out there. No no knuckles,
no version of brass knuckles. You can just beat them
with your bare hands. Yeah, it's uniquely annoyed that people
would disrespect you by blasting some sort of loud thing

(50:53):
when headphones and all different kinds of earbuds are so
very easy in society. I also don't want it, by
the way, when people that you're supposed to interact with
they're wearing headphones and don't hear anything you're saying. But
it's a very different kind of annoying. It's an annoying
that comes and goes, and only when we have to
interact the blaring the headphones they are blaring the speaker
thing or whatever you're doing.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
That's very different.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
So yes, even if I don't like government overreach, I'm
totally fine with finding these people because they're monsters who
deserve to be in trouble.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Other things out there that I thought were kind of interesting.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Judge in Lisa Cook Cases set Friday, and this is
a hearing on Trump's effort to fire a federal governor.
I do hope that the end result of this is
that he's allowed to fire all kinds of people for
all kinds of things.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
For two reasons.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
First, I would like to see a return of The
Apprentice where Trump fires people on television because it would
be hilarious. And second, I do think that if you
shake something up, if you're at a company for a
long time and a lot of people are there a
long time and you want to shake it up, you
want to get changed, the best way to do that
is to can somebody. The more people you can, the
better that things could go with the people who remain,
and if they don't, you can more people.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
That's how that works. But I do love that.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
By the way, a Tesla's cyber truck crash was so
hot it disintegrated a driver's bones.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
This is uniquely terrifying.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
I wasn't exactly thrilled to read this story, but burder
Those batteries can burn hot, was one of the reactions
to the story, And the answer is, yeah, they sure can.
This is scary stuff, and sometimes those batteries just explode
and do all kinds of things on their own. Too,
So this does seem like the kind of thing you
we at least should know going in. Someone may be

(52:35):
at the Tesla dealership when you're debating whether to buy
that or a beautiful gas powered vehicle, I might casually
mention that sometimes this car has been so hot that
they couldn't even find the remains of someone who crashed inside. One,
which is again uniquely terrifying in a different way. And
then finally one last one. Tourists have been pouring beer

(52:57):
down an elephant's trunk in Kenya. This is sparked anger
all kinds of other thing. There's bacterial issues and whatnot
at play. I don't know why people think it's uniquely
funny to get animals drunk, Maybe because in some ways
it's sort of his I'm not recommending it.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
I'm not condoning it at all, because it's me. It's
they don't know what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
The one thing about drinking that I like is a
person that I think is a professional drinker at this
time of my life, just before a holiday, is that
I know what I'm doing when I'm doing it. I
don't want to be tricked into this sort of thing,
and animals cannot agree to be drunk with you, even
if your dog might be your best drunk friend.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Ever.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
I just pictured the idea that my dog could willingly
go on like a drinking a run with me, and
how fun that would be.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
But that is not okay. You shouldn't do it. I
don't get the elephants drunk. And actually, also, I'll say
one other thing about this story.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
If the size of the animal is that much bigger
than you and you get it hammered, it's going to
end poorly. There's no scenario where it's good. I'm not
encouraging you to get small animals drunk. Instead, leave all
the animals sober pleased. That would be good.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
But if you had to pick between who to get.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
Hammered and who not to, I would much rather prefer
an animal they can't fall over it on the side
and squash and murder me. That seems much worse as
far as someone for an animal who's no longer in
control of what's going on for them. So an elephant
is a uniquely bad choice for the people in Kenya
who seem like they just need a better friend to
party with. You just need a different drinking wingman and

(54:26):
you won't be trying to get any animal drunk in
any sort of scenario like that. This seems like a
better a plant. Just find your drinking wingman, We'll hang
out with you. T'll three am at the bar and
enjoy having fun and doing the same thing you're doing.
It's a precious friend in life to have that guy,
even if he might need some help in some way.
All right, quick break a lot more. Craig Collin's filling

Speaker 1 (55:49):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Two wrongs have been righted in the world of the
January sixth rioters or whatever you want to call them.
Certainly not insurrectionists. That's insane word to be used with
people who showed up to the capital to protest some
things that didn't bring any weapons with them. It's hard
to overthrow a country. I'll keep saying it every.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Time this comes up. Without any weapons at all, that
seems difficult.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
But anyway, a judge has reluctantly authorized the refund of
restitution paid by January sixth rioters. That's the first time
a January sixth rider who was convicted and then pardoned
I will get some sweet, sweet gish back. The authorization
for two two hundred dollars to be refunded to those
who were convicted of certain felonies that have since been

(56:33):
dropped after President Trump's blanket pardon to anyone from that
day also writing or wrong. Ashley Babbitt will get a
military funeral. The Air Force has confirmed that Babbitt, thirty five,
who was shot and killed that day and did not
get the appropriate I think treatment that she should get
for being someone who served in our military, will inevitably

(56:56):
get that. So I think that that's a very good
thing again, and that more very good things should happen
here in response to this, And Ashley Babbitt's story is
uniquely set in our society and what happened and how
that all occurred, and if you don't remember for some reason,
which feels almost weird to say she was shot after

(57:17):
she went through an area in the Capitol building by
a Capitol police officer, and it made no sense at
the time, and it makes no sense now. And that
was the only person who actually died by the actions
of someone on that day. For a while, the New
York Times tried to claim that other people had passed away,
and a couple other people did die actually, but a

(57:39):
lot of medical reports found that had nothing to do
what was going on as far as the rioting goes.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
And so it's sort of insane to be there.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Trump eyes a Chicago ice and National Guard move into
a naval base.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
I love this story.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
I love things like this and conversations like this a lot.
And one of the reasons I niquely kind of like
these sort of things is because when the President of
the United States gets sold no by some guy who
wants to be the actual story in JB. Pritzker and
doesn't actually want to stop crime. Because he's in fact
the president, he has some unique moves he can make

(58:16):
that will demonstrate his ability to have power that you
don't want.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
Him to have if he needs to go that road.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
So here's a little bit of Channel seven ABC News
in Chicago are reporting on this crazy thing that's going
back and forth, as chess pieces are getting moved and
pawns and whatnot, and it seems like the president continues
to win. And I would say also with the American people,
because if the end goal is to remove crime from
cities that are rampant with horrible crime issues, you'd have

(58:45):
to think that something the American people would support.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
He is considering.

Speaker 18 (58:50):
But today a published report indicates it could happen as
soon as next week, raising the stakes surrounding a possible
Guard deployment. Naval Station Great Lakes is not preparing to
house fit immigration agents and also possibly National Guard troops,
according to our report in the Chicago Sun Times. That
paper cited an email from the commanding officer to his
leadership team that said there were not many details on

(59:12):
the operation but that it would focus on downtown. Chicago
had groundbreaking in Maywood.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
Governor J. B.

Speaker 18 (59:20):
Pritzker said there has been no communication from the federal
government about any Guard deployment. He's just hearing rumors.

Speaker 11 (59:26):
We only know so much right now.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
It's hard to tell.

Speaker 11 (59:30):
We haven't seen troop movements no yet. We also haven't
seen any call up of our National Guard, but we
are on guard hoping that that does not happen.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
But this is so stupid, by the way, because the
other thing that they haven't seen yet or for a
while in Chicago is safe streets, especially on the South
side of the city late at night, terrifying the amount
of people who are shot and killed every single weekend.
So again, if you want those things to get better,
if you want improvement to be done, hey, maybe embrace.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
The idea that this could occur in your city. In
your state or throughout the country.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
And I'll say this again just to be uniquely clear,
and it is sort of in response to the Ashley
Babbitt story too, and the sad aspects of that, and
the fact that the military funeral was denied so long
to someone who's served in our Air force. I am
not afraid of the men and women who serve in
our military. I'm not remotely afraid of them. I'm gracious.

(01:00:26):
I have gratitude towards the things they do. I'm uniquely grateful,
I think is the word I was looking for. There
is I going to go for their willingness to volunteer
to serve and protect our society. And if I were
living in a dangerous city, which actually I am. Houston
has a lot of crime problems itself, and the National
Guard were used as a catalyst to create change, I

(01:00:46):
would welcome it with open arms. I'm thrilled to see
police officers in line in front of me at like
Starbucks and whatnot. Usually buy them a coffee and it's
not just to be a kiss up. So the next
time they pull me over for some sort of beating situation,
I'm like, hey, come on, maybe you're the guy I
bought a coffee.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
It's because you're supposed to honor and you know, see
value in these individuals. And if they did, by chance,
get told to do something that they thought was uniquely wrong,
I have faith that the military men and women of
our country would say no to that. Other reason we'd
never be anything like you know, Nazi Germany is because
our military would stand against a radical, actual, you know,

(01:01:27):
authoritarian dictator leader, which Trump is. Of course, none of
those things, no matter what liberal left leaning media wants
to tell you, and they would say no to that.
If someone actually ordered you military men and women of
our society to round up people based on their race,
which is one of the things that the fear mongering
left tells you, it's basically happening. We're one step away

(01:01:49):
from all the black people being rounded up in the
streets and taken to you know, concentration camps. That's something
that actually thought leaders on that side have said, which
is insane. But if that actually were to occur, believe
that our military would say no. Let's pretend that the
craziest things that they claim could happen did happen in
some facet and let's point out where that link would break,

(01:02:12):
where they think that, you know, we would inevitably turn
into a place where Trump is Hitler two point zero,
and that just doesn't occur. And I think it's so
easy to find those moments of break, and it's why
I again believe very significantly that this is how we
would never ever get to the places that they claim
we'd be at. So one more time, as clearly as

(01:02:32):
I can state it, I would be thrilled to see
military men and women in my city or you know,
in uniform in an area that I think is unsafe,
because it would instill the belief that it will be
a safer place and that they would be willing to
protect good people from bad guys who want to hurt
them or do bad things. It's not necessarily taking over

(01:02:53):
the job of police, but it's doing something to aid
and assist those who are trying to enforce the law,
which is good. And also the thing that the military
said they're willing to do is is, you know, protect
the people in our country who deserve to be protected,
although they protect everybody when they go abroad, which is great.
All right, Another thing I want to play and I
think this is interesting. It's definitely not political news, but

(01:03:15):
who cares. An Irish traveler, an influencer is being blasted
online after they recorded and posted video of what they
claim to be a cannibal tribe that may or may
not be cannibal. It is a remote tribe. There was
a representative for the tribe trying to tell the influencer
they weren't welcome to do video.

Speaker 13 (01:03:35):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
A lot of aspects in the story or moving pieces.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
First, if they actually are cannibals, I really don't care
what their you know, spokesperson is asking for. If they're
not cannibals, I don't know. I am annoyed by the
influencer traveling to a certain place and trying to get
a lot of clicks. The influencer doesn't have any real
desire to help anybody. They just have a desire to
be more famous and they thought this was an avenue

(01:04:00):
toward it. But there is some audio that goes with
this story of the Irish traveling social media you know
influencer person trying to uncover the remote cannibal tribe and
put it all over social media for views and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
This this is weird.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
I almost want no one to win in this, uh
you know, this side versus that side, because again, I'm
not going to cheer for the cannibals if that's what
they actually are.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
And I'm not a big fan of a lot of
the influencers. Here we go, I think they're going blowing
out for as well.

Speaker 15 (01:04:31):
This is terrifying.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
They're huge bulls.

Speaker 14 (01:04:33):
I've gotten offering for them, basically bargain our way and
try and make them accept us. Put it in and
it just pulled it in your hands, pooled a bit.
Oh god, Okay, he doesn't look like he likes that. Careful,
he doesn't like it. All right, guys, so let's move back.
Maybe we have to go out. It's not into that,
not really welcome. It's really injured. I'm not gonna lie.
I thought it is absolutely terrifying. Tell me they're scary.
I'm sorry, I'd take you here.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
Yeah, that's real stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
By the way, that sounds a lot like and I'm
not trying to crap on somebody else, but the crocodile
hunter whenever he was in front of a crocodile saying
like this crocodile seems mad.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
I'm gonna make it angrier.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
The crocodile hunter, may he rest in peace as someone
that definitely seemed to be willing to risk his life.
I think the same is true of a social media
influencer who wants to out the cannibal tribe in a
remote part of the world. That seems like a dumb thing.
And I don't know why. The frat guy reaction of
these two kids made me laugh even more. Thank God
they're okay, but they're like, yeah, they don't really like that.
Yeah they seem mad at us. They're getting their bows

(01:05:28):
and arrows out, and things seem like they could get
scary fast.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
Yeah they could.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
These people would have no hesitation in harming you if
they believe that you're someone who's a threat to them,
because society used to work that way for quite some
time in the past and they haven't changed.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
So I just don't get any part of this.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
If I was the influencer or the team that's supposed
to advise this influencer, if it exists, when they got
to the idea about trying to infiltrate the cannibal remote tribe,
I'd be like, no, let's not do that one. Let's
do anything else, Let's do a marshmallow eating challenge instead
of going to the remote tribe and seeing if they

(01:06:06):
in fact eat people. That seems like a bad choice
for our Saturday night. All right, A quick break, A
lot to talk about today on the show. We do
have Florida Man coming up in just a little bit.
I do love some of the Florida Man stories. One
of the best ones I've seen in a while involves
a man who lives in Florida, of course, and a
pair of Batman pajamas. That has made me very, very

(01:06:30):
happy and also somewhat, you know, jealous, which is weird
because there's aspects of this story that I'd easily want
to make fun of, and there's other aspects of this
where I have to tip my hat and say, way
to go a Batman pajama guy, adult man and Batman pajamas.
I'll explain more in just a bit, but that's coming
up in quite a bit. More here on the Dana Show,

(01:06:50):
on all the different places that The Dana Show airs,
and also find it on social media at a d
Lash or Dana Lash Radio and x on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
My name is Craig Collins. A quick break more coming
up in a bet. It's his life mission to make
bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. That's right, it's
time for Florida Man.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
This is Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show
A d Lash a Dana Lash Radio and x on Twitter.
A great ways to stay connected to her. I love
all three of the Florida Man stories that producer Kine
sent along. I'm gonna go ahead and count them down
in reverse order though, because this is the radio and
we like countdowns of things, and actually, you know what
I have audio, I'm gonna like, Casey Casem help me
count these down. So number three, as far as the

(01:07:38):
best Florida Man stories of today according to me, Thank
thank you Casey for saying that out there. Number three
is a Florida Man that woke up a woman by
mumbling stuff next to her bet. The man who was
a stranger to her had broken into her house. That's terrifying.
And then once he got there, he I guess got
close to the bed and didn't get in.

Speaker 1 (01:07:56):
Thank god.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
I've just started saying stuff that was incoherent and he
definitely seemed intoxicated. The woman when she woke up yelled
at him. Excuse me, I just sneezed there. The woman
yelled at him, and then I might have to sneeze
again during the show. I'll do my best to try
to handle it. But anyway, he decided to leave because
of the yelling and whatnot, but he didn't go very far.
The guy opened up her car, which I guess was unlocked.

(01:08:18):
That's kind of her fault, and then went to sleep
in the backseat. When the cops eventually arrived, they arrested
the guy who refused to get out of the car
on his own, and Elijah Spencer was charged with multiple problems.
Bergley occupied of an occupied dwelling, he took fruit, snacks
and stuff from her house, burglary of an unoccupied conveyance
that would be inside the vehicle, criminal mischief, and then

(01:08:40):
resisting an officer without violence for just saying no until
eventually he was pulled out of the car. What a
weird dude, But he only comes in at number three
on my list. In casey again, glad to have you
with us. Let's do number two on this list, Thank you, sir.
A Number two of the best Florida Man stories of
today is the Florida Who's Trump House has gone very

(01:09:02):
viral until social media, on TikTok and other places. He
lives in an elite neighborhood in Florida. He fought the
county several times for these giant signs, these huge like
things banners that he hung up on his house that
are all Trump things. Some things say like legend, bulletproof.
There's a bunch of other ones. He's been dealing with

(01:09:23):
this since twenty twenty one, fighting back and forth with
the city. Eventually he won a lawsuit saying that any
tried any kind of fines they tried to charge him
were inappropriate and they actually had to pay his legal fees,
which is like forty two thousand dollars, which seems great
for the guy. But now he's even more popular than
ever on social media and continues to put out new banners,

(01:09:45):
more American flags, and all kinds of things to be
pro Trump. Some of his banners, which all have photos
of the President, say things like who's your Daddy? Trump
coming home in twenty twenty five, and as I said again,
a ones like bulletproof, a whole bunch of peace. People
reacted on social media recently, some of the videos he
put up by saying how much they love the house

(01:10:05):
and how much they liked to stop and take photos
with him or at the house when they pass it.
It's literally becoming a tourist attraction. The guy with the
pro Trump house that tried to be fined and stopped
by a city council and they inevitably failed.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
All right, that was good for number two, Thank you,
Casey Kase.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
The number one story in the world of Florida Man,
the best story out there to me is the guy
in Batman pajamas who stopped a criminal. Florida Man described
what it was like to be woken up and noticed
that his car was being robbed. It was in his
neighbor's part, in his neighbor's garage, I think, he'll tell you.
And unfortunately a bad things were happening, and so he

(01:10:44):
sprung to action, and he just so happened to be
wearing his Batman pajamas when he did it, which is
hilarious to me.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
You want to make fun of.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
An adult man wearing Batman pajamas, but you want to
respect a hero who apprehends a bad guy and hold
him until cops arrive.

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
So it's a little bit of like, I'm not sure
what way to go with this story, but here it is.
She checked it and she woke me up. She said, Hey,
someone's rummaging through your truck. So I called him.

Speaker 19 (01:11:07):
I said, hey, your garage is open and my truck
was just broken into.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
So I'm going to sit outside until.

Speaker 6 (01:11:14):
You guys secure your garage without the person seeing me,
and I grabbed ahold of their shirt and their right wrists.
I said, listen, don't try to get away.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
I have plenty of experience with this.

Speaker 19 (01:11:23):
I'm really glad I had my Batman pajamason because I
gave me the extra confidence that I needed.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
That is hilarious that he said that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
At the end there too, and the guy was rocking
actual Batman pajamas, and it's real. It looks like the
Batman outfit with the fake utility belt and everything.

Speaker 13 (01:11:40):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
Yes, nine times out of ten, or I would go
even further ninety nine times out of one hundred. I'm
making fun of a friend of mine who admits they
still have Batman pajamas as an adult man. The one
time I'm potentially not doing it is if the guy
also happened to stop a robbery of his own vehicle
and keep a man in custody until police arrived while
wearing the Batman pajamas. This is fantastic, And I do

(01:12:03):
really like the fact that he says that it added
in his confidence, because that's usually not true of adult
men wearing Batman pajamas. Confidence is usually not the byproduct
of that decision, but it is here, and it is
to a great degree. So again, I love that story
so much. Thank you Casey for everything he did to help. Sure,
all right, that's fine, he seems excited. Quick break a

(01:12:23):
lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in.

Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
Thrilled to be with you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
A lot of stuff out there to discuss. There is
a leaked phone call that involves Brian Kemp, the governor
of Georgia. It's raising questions and someone curious as to
how the phone call even leaks in the first place.
So there's multiple things that deserve to be said here.
But I do think so there's some interesting moments in
the audio that's inevitably been leaked. This includes Kemp demonstrating

(01:12:55):
that he thinks people in politics who have a voting
record that is closely tied to the things President Trump
would like to see done is somehow bad, somehow that's
going to be a negative in any sort of midterm election.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
Here's a little bit of that audio.

Speaker 16 (01:13:08):
Again, the defeat a Democratic can come that who has
and will have unlimited resources in a midtime election. Another
congressman from a heavy Republican district where the congressional baby
record isn't going to work. I know, in respect both
Congressman Carter and Collins, this is not an attack on them.

(01:13:29):
It's just the way that I feel. Also often, as
you all know, I have hundreds of millions of dollars
to define anybody's baby record in the worst possible light.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Okay, you know it's really hold on, pump the breaks there.
But you know what's really interesting about this to me
several things. Everyone knows a candidate with no record is
far easier for the left to define and destroy than
someone who actually supported certain things. These would be things
like the stuff that President Trump wanted to do, the
Lacol and Riley Act, one of the first things he

(01:14:00):
signed to the law on his second term. Mike Collins
was a champion of it, so it's interesting. The bottom
line is that Republicans can't trust Brian Kemp, according to
the person who posted this on social media. I don't
necessarily know if that's true or not. The audio doesn't
make it sound very good as far as what's going
on here. Kemp uniquely also has kind of supported President

(01:14:21):
Trump as far as the National Guard and using them
as concerned something that protesters recently were up an arms
and upset abount in Georgia. But it is interesting, and
the first question that does need to be answered is
how does this stuff leak? Like, where is he, what's
he doing, who's he talking to, and what people could
have inevitably leaked it. I'm always curious about that because

(01:14:43):
what's the agenda of the leaker? Sometimes the agenda of
the leaker might show what the actual intention of the
reaction to the leaking is and whether or not they're matching,
whether there's context missing from any of this, all that matters.
I do think there's a whole lot of politicians we
probably can't trust. There's a whole lot of politicians who
very very likely are people that are rhinos or people

(01:15:06):
that are, you know, in it for some sort of
specific reason that has nothing to do but doing good
for us.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
And I know you believe that too. I know that's
a very obvious and simplistic.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
Statement, but in saying that, when you point to me
who the rhinos could be, I'm willing to think it
could be anybody. I guess the only person that I'd
be surprised if they're a rhino is Trump. That would
be That would be like a brain twist. That's like
Quentin Tarantino directed this movie. So I'm definitely not saying
that I think that's true, because I don't think it is.
Although you know what, I'll say this, this is funny.

(01:15:36):
So I have friends on both sides of the political aisle,
having lived in places like Chicago. I also have some
family members or who are younger people, and some of
the twenty somethings that I know, whether it's friends of
my family members, just people that I work with in
some capacity, not in some of the radio stations I'm
at now, but.

Speaker 1 (01:15:54):
Just other places.

Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
There are these like far right young people, and that's
how I describe them. They're people who really want some
extreme decisions made within the conservative party to be more
of the norm for the way we govern. It seems
to match the far left people that are young. When
you're of a certain age, maybe it's more appropriate for

(01:16:17):
you to think that there's really only one answer, one
right and wrong, and no a version of middle ground
or any of that. And the reason I'm bringing this
up is some of the guys I know on the
far right, or at least what I would describe is it,
often tell me they think Trump is in the middle.
They think Trump is a guy who's actually at times
really appeasing the left. And I laugh at that, not

(01:16:37):
because I think Trump is some extremist. I actually agree
with them on that, but because it's funny to think
that he would do anything other than whatever Trump wants
to do. I don't really think he's ever done anything
in his roles, either time in the office of president
to appease anybody but him, And I actually like that.
By the way, leaders who want to lead by having
their own version of things actually occur seem like people

(01:17:00):
who will be successful in this life. All Right, another
thing out there that I wanted to refute, and I'm
annoyed that I have to do this. I'm thrilled that
I get to be on a show as big as
the Dana Show to play audio like this and have
a discussion about things like this, because it is ridiculous
and it is crazy. But there is a big narrative
on the left right now that says that any discussion

(01:17:22):
about a violent crime being done to people of faith
because of their faith, essentially that what happened in Minneapolis
was obviously a hate crime. They're saying that that's completely untrue.
There's no way that you could even you know, confirm
or demonstrate the accuracy of that, and some of the
ways they go about trying to make this claim or

(01:17:46):
prove this argument, it's so incredibly flawed and kind of
awful that you don't even really know how to respond
to it, like you have a version of all right,
I'm going to have to talk about this now, but
not maybe the degree that we should. So I want
to play some audio and I'll demonstrate to you what
I mean. We're talking heads on CNN are saying that

(01:18:07):
it's the far right narrative and not the actual fact
based obvious conclusion that the person who attacked children in
a church that were at a school that he had
gone to who was a transgender man. I was doing
it for reasons that were specific to the faith of
the place he was attacking, and also his manifesto which
said that was exactly why he did it. All of

(01:18:27):
this can be discredited because the left is going to
come up with some stupid narrative that seems to want
only some people to be the victims of hate, not
all people, which is a very weird thing to have
people you want to exclude from that situation.

Speaker 12 (01:18:43):
I teach a class on this in Georgetown. This individual
appears to be what we call a nihilist, and not
to get into too much detail about their ideology, they
believe that no lives matter. I believe that calling this
or investigating this as an attack again it's Catholics, I believe,
is a little disingenuous and it plays into the far

(01:19:04):
rights narrative about Christians being under attack in this country.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
All right, let's see if this plays into the narrative
of Christians being under attack in this country. This is
a stat that Fox News aired this morning demonstrating that
Christians are under attack in this country.

Speaker 7 (01:19:18):
Their port called Hostility against Churches in the United States,
released this month by the Family Research Council found that
last year, there were four hundred and fifteen incidents of
hostility against three hundred and eighty three different churches across
forty two different states, mostly vandalism and arson, but at
least twenty eight cases involved guns. Twenty twenty three saw

(01:19:38):
the highest number, four hundred and eighty five, but last
year's total is still more than a four year span
from twenty eighteen combined.

Speaker 1 (01:19:46):
All right, so that seems to easily be true.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
It definitely seems as though churches are under attack, that
people are turning people of faith into enemies for some reason.
And I think the reason why is that there's a
point in a discussion about two different sides of an argument,
or someone who believes in something beyond you know what
happens here on earth might typically say, you know what
I feel the way I do about abortion or whatever

(01:20:10):
the issue might be because of my faith, because of
something I believe in that's beyond politics. And I think
it makes the other side mad that that's an argument
that they're supposed to respect. They have no interest in
doing that, and I think that's where the anger comes from.
It's not just that though lying about whether or not
it was a hate crime specifically targeting people based on
their religion. It's also denying whether or not the transgender

(01:20:33):
man shooter had a mental health issue. He wanted to
kill children and succeeded in taking the lives of at
least two little kids, which is uniquely horrible, and for
some reason, the authorities, the police out there, want to
say they have no known way to figure out if
he had a mental health issue or not. The shooting
itself should be one of a few indications that the

(01:20:55):
person was not mentally okay.

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
And is there any kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
Mental health diagnosis that everyone There.

Speaker 18 (01:21:03):
Is no diagnosis that I'm aware of that I can share.

Speaker 15 (01:21:07):
I can tell you we are not aware of any
state ordered mental health commitments for this individual. Chief.

Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
We're not aware. We don't know anything about it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
In fact, there are people that help treat and give
drugs and all kinds of things to the individual, drugs
that one of the labels, one of the warnings say
could cause suicidal or homicidal ideation, and then boom, this happens.

Speaker 1 (01:21:27):
This is absolutely horrible.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
This is uniquely a terrible, terrible thing, and I just
think it's amazing that you know, so often, so many
people want to keep whatever the issues are that they
think are making them a victim in society specific to them.
It's so weird that you're going to say, you know what, No,
not everybody can use the defense I use or the

(01:21:52):
excuse I use for whatever the problem is going on
in my life, even if this is not the thing
the other person is doing this for, even if other
people are saying, you know that this is obvious, that
the reason this occurred and why it occurred, and we
need to talk about it so we can actually prevent it,
and just you know, behaving as though that's something that's
somehow inappropriate to It's so crazy. I'm so I get

(01:22:15):
mad during this part of this discussion, and so there's
not a lot of other roads for me to go
than to just get angrier and angrier on the radio,
which I probably shouldn't do. But all right, let's move
on to another thing out there that's just uniquely weird.
This is the mayor in Chicago, Brandon Johnson, being very

(01:22:36):
very proud not of doing anything to help fight crime,
but being very proud of the fact that he's going
to add some narcan vending machines to more parts of
the north side of the city where they're not seeing
as many overdoses of drug use.

Speaker 1 (01:22:50):
But darn it, hey, everybody needs one of these. Let's
add it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
Let's see if a year from now you have a
bunch of drug addicts and homeless people and drug dealers
all hanging out near the narcam vending machines in Uptown.

Speaker 1 (01:23:01):
Here we go important.

Speaker 13 (01:23:03):
Narc cann is a safe, legal medication that can reverse
an opioid overdose, and it saves lives. So we want
to ensure that everyone here in Uptown and around Chicago
has access to life saving medication. And that is why
my office, working with all the women, Clay and Commissioner Ega,

(01:23:24):
are working so hard to make narc cann widely available
through vending machines and stands like the ones that you
see here on display today.

Speaker 7 (01:23:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23:33):
Way to go.

Speaker 2 (01:23:34):
Way to have your priorities aligned perfectly, sir. There's a
crime epidemic. You're refusing to allow the National Guard to
help assist and make things better, which we see is
absolutely working in places like Washington, d C. And in
response to that, you want to open up some nark
hann vending machines. That's just weird, all right. One other
thing before we take a break, just very quickly, Thanks

(01:23:54):
President Trump, is what CNN should be saying because of
the ridiculously low gas prices that are out there. Somehow
missing from the way they covered how cheap things are
in the world of gasoline before the Labor Day long
weekend holiday. I wonder how they could have forgot to
mention that Trump and drill, baby drill, or a reason
that things are looking so great.

Speaker 5 (01:24:14):
Gas prices at their lowest level for a Labor Day
weekend in years. In some states, they are below three
dollars a gallon. Matt Egan is here with the good news.
We have say goodbye to summer, but we're going to
do it and save some cash.

Speaker 6 (01:24:26):
That's right, that's right, Erica. Look you are in luck
if you're hitting the roads this holiday weekend. Gas Buddy
is projecting the national averages Labor Day three fifteen a gallon.

Speaker 9 (01:24:36):
That's the lowest since twenty twenty.

Speaker 6 (01:24:38):
Of course, back then the roads were pretty empty because.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
Of COVID Tlanaminute, and also who took over who wound
up being in charge of twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:24:45):
I wonder what's there.

Speaker 6 (01:24:45):
You can see the trend in the past few years.
The expectation is that personal will be a little bit
lower than last year, yah significantly lower than three years
ago when we were looking at almost four dollars a
gallon of.

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
Wow, what's weird again is in twenty twenty two, who
was in charge and what were they doing and who
did they say they were going after? Biden literally ran
on a campaign promise to a disrupt and harm oil
and gas companies, and then Trump says drill, baby, drill.
And for some reason, the gas prices seem to be
a perfect reflection of who's in charge. And I thought
the president couldn't impact the price of gas. All right,

(01:25:16):
quick break, A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in
on the Danas Show.

Speaker 10 (01:25:20):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quick five.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
All right, let's try to actually rapid fire these This
is the Danish Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Someone wrote to a Dear Abby Page and asked a
simple question. They said, my fiance might be cheating on me.
I wonder if I should still go through at the wedding.
I usually the answer is no to this, but here's
the caveat. The fiance said that they might be cheating

(01:25:46):
with a female friend, meaning that the woman in the
relationship might be with another woman on the side. And
the thing that I think is interesting about this is
the way that social media talked about how if it's
a dude getting married to a girl and then finds
out that she might have a female friend.

Speaker 1 (01:26:04):
That's more than a friend. Part of your brain, the
man part, tells you that you can make this work.
You can figure this out.

Speaker 2 (01:26:11):
This can be fine for everybody involved, especially if you
think the friend is attractive too. But again, this is
probably going to be horrible. So the end advice is
exactly what you think it is. You can't get married
to someone if you think they're already cheating on you
before you're even married.

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
That's usually a bad move.

Speaker 2 (01:26:27):
But I do love the fact that a lot of
men out there are like, wow, wait, let's really think
this out before we make any rash decisions, before we
go any certain roads. The worst fast food items in
America have been revealed. McDonald's did quite well on the
list of least healthy items, but the absolute worst thing
to eat is apparently the McDonald's chicken tender, not even

(01:26:49):
the chicken nugget.

Speaker 1 (01:26:50):
The chicken tender did even.

Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
Worse than the nuggets as far as value compared to
calories and whatnot. Second worst was Chipotle's rice bulls, which
are apparently very unhealthy, and then KFC chicken tenders came
in at number three, and finally the Popeyees chicken sandwich
and the KFCA chicken sandwich rounded out the top. Liz, yeah,
I don't care. The point is, whenever you eat any

(01:27:11):
of these items, you're checking the health at the door.
You know that it's not going to be healthy. No
one ever tried to trick me into thinking that these
items were healthy, so I'm good about them not being it.
And finally, a study revealed which generation would most like
a four day work week. Unsurprising, it is the youngest generation.

Speaker 1 (01:27:27):
It is gen Z.

Speaker 2 (01:27:28):
I would like to see this happen, as they're in
the workforce, you know, fairly new compared to everybody else.
Maybe other people have gotten more used to it. Although
gen X is almost as excited about the idea of
a four day work week as gen Z. And then
millennials and boomers coming in at about the same percentage,
just a little bit behind.

Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
Of course, I'd love a four day work week. Who wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
No one's going to say no to it. But is
it actually going to work out for the company. The
answer is probably not in the long term, but who cares.
Let's try it anyway, all right, quick break a lot more.
Craig Collin's filling in on the Danish Show.

Speaker 11 (01:28:00):
Writing up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show
podcast where every update comes with a little dash of
not so serious. On YouTube, Apple or wherever you get
your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (01:28:12):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff,
a bunch of stuff out there.

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
To talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
I almost said something way different than the stuff, and
I'm glad I did not say that. But again, Craig
Collins filling in. Dana is back next week. Well, actually no,
she's going to be back after the holiday. He will
hear a best of tomorrow, but she's getting some additional
time off. Very well deserved for the very famous, very
talented Dana Lash. D Lash Dana Lash Radio on x

(01:28:40):
on Twitter, a great way to stay connected to her.
President Trump is lost in a court room again. A
lot of people are calling this activism activism within the
judicial system. Let's play a little bit of Fox News
discussing this breaking story of another way in which Biden
was allowed to do one thing that's give a legal
individu Jewel's legal status. Trump's not allowed to do the opposite,

(01:29:04):
which is taken away apparently, at least according to one federal.

Speaker 20 (01:29:06):
Judge into US right now, a federal appeals court Channon,
has blocked the Trump administration's plans to end protections for
six hundred thousand people from Venezuela who have had permission
to live and work here in the United States. Schannon,
this was a three judge panel from the ninth US

(01:29:26):
Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld a lower court ruling
that made temporary protected status for those Venezuelans while the
case proceeded through the court.

Speaker 21 (01:29:35):
Your thoughts on that, Yeah, I haven't had a chance
to read it yet, but coming from the Ninth Circuit
and not surprising, it's one of the places that you
would go if you want to challenge a Trump administration policy,
you're going to look for those judges in California that
tend to lean more liberal than Ninth Circuit certainly has
that reputation as well. But it sounds like what they're
saying is that for now, those people who have some
legal protections to work and live in the country, that

(01:29:57):
when Secretary Nome of DHS tried to wipe those out
with a blanket proclamation, they're saying they don't think she
has the power to do it, that the way Congress
wrote the statute doesn't allow it. This administration has argued
she absolutely has the power. DHS has the power to
revoke this status. So I think it's yet another thing
we'll watch Sandra on a collision course headed to the
Supreme Court.

Speaker 1 (01:30:17):
Yeah, it's going to be at the Supreme Court. That's
what happens with all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
To be honest, and yeah, if you have a Ninth
District Circuit Court of Appeals out of San Francisco, California,
you're uniquely hoping that the people there are willing to
help you get whatever you want across the finish line
the way you want it across the finish line.

Speaker 1 (01:30:35):
It's said that that's true it's said said that we
can't have law just be law.

Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
That one of the things that shapes your ability to
say yes or no to the legality of something in
the society we live in, it is the likelihood that
a whole bunch of people believe something on a certain
side of the political aisle. The other reason that it's
important to talk about this stuff, at least to me,
is how often the left will say that Trump has
rigged the court, he's put too many judges in, he's

(01:31:02):
got too much power in too many places. Of course,
the Supreme Court is one of the options or one
of the examples they use for that, and Trump does
lose in court a lot, not all the time, and
certainly the Supreme Court has made big decisions that seem
to be aligned with the things Trump wants. But even
the Supreme Court has shot down and rejected stuff that
the Trump administration things is the appropriate way to go

(01:31:24):
in regard to any individual stories that are out there.
So it's just fascinating to me how to watch that
play out and to watch people say consistently that, you know,
we got to do this, we got to stack the court,
we got to be crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:31:37):
Because if we're not.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
Then unfortunately, Trump gets everything he wants and just disregard
all the stuff that actually happens.

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
All right, I'm going to play a little bit of
this audio. I don't want to play all of it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:46):
This person is unhinged and I think absolutely disgusting as
far as a human being goes. This is an older dude,
white dude with a bunch of rainbow flags and stuff
behind him as he's talking into a camera on social
media and saying how happy he is to watch children
get killed in a mass shooting. This is real in Minneapolis, Minnesota,

(01:32:07):
from just a couple days ago. Because he thinks that
the Catholic schools or the religious schools need to experience
the same kind of pain that has happened in public schools.
So he thinks that it's appropriate for the horrible thing
that happens sometimes in society to now be happening in
this part of the community instead of that part, which

(01:32:27):
is a tremendously big problem for people who think anything
like this much less when you're talking about children being
shot by a deranged, lunatic and a disgusting, evil human being.

Speaker 1 (01:32:37):
Here we go.

Speaker 19 (01:32:38):
You know what, there's going to be a lot more
of that coming up, you know, especially with these religious areas.
You know, hey, we've had enough of your kind coming
after public schools, right, It's about time. Yeah, churches in
Catholic schools and religious schools, it's about.

Speaker 9 (01:32:55):
Time they get their turn.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
Wow, that is insane, or someone say, and to be
proud of it and happy about it, it's actually insane.
It's a level of anger you have inside yourself that's
similar to the anger that the shooter had to do
the horrible thing that he did, But as a level
of anger you have and you found a thing in
your life for people that you get to interact with

(01:33:18):
in some capacity or see or whatever, that you want
to put that anger on, whether they deserve it or not.
And in this case, the person wants to place it
on the kids in school in Catholic schools because he
thinks people who have a faith are making arguments that
he doesn't like in public places. It's horrific. And it's
these same individuals that will go out into public whenever

(01:33:40):
something else happens in a different way in our society
and tell everyone that we should love everybody, that we
should care about everyone, that why can't you have the
compassion and the mercy that a human is supposed to have,
and then they go out and celebrate something as horrible
as what happened a couple of days ago. It is
uniquely disgusting, and it's the reason to a degree that
we have this continuing to happen in our society now

(01:34:03):
that we're seeing this grow in the amount of people
who are targeting faith based individuals for crimes like this.
This is a byproduct of this type of rhetoric. And
I know the Left says that all the time, and
oftentimes I actually shoot down the idea that anyone is
responsible beyond the individuals themselves who are responsible for the awful,

(01:34:26):
horrible things that happen in our society. But I will
say that occasionally you have a story that demonstrates to
you exactly how risky some of this stuff is, and
how it can help to radicalize someone who's probably already
a lost cause anyway, and how the real solution to
all these problems is addressing mental health in a more

(01:34:48):
significant fashion and not trying to just take people's guns away,
which is what they usually say. One thing that I
always believe and still believe is true is the deranged
lunatic person is that person mostly from their own life,
not from just the TV or whatever it is that
they consume. But there's certainly a way to believe that
they go from being somewhat likely to do something horrible

(01:35:11):
to incredibly likely to do something horrible based on people
reinforcing the belief that it's not them but someone else
that's the real enemy or the real problem, when they,
in fact are the one causing all the hurt and pain.

Speaker 1 (01:35:22):
All right, let's play this.

Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
I do like the headline California is lost. A newly
proposed build would expand options for people to seek temporary
garden ships excuse me, guardianships.

Speaker 1 (01:35:34):
That's the word I was trying to say.

Speaker 2 (01:35:36):
Adults who are not relatives would be allowed to make
short term educational health care decision for kids without parental consent. Man,
I wonder what this is about. I wonder what people
are talking about here. But you can you could potentially
fight for temporary control of children in order to allow
them to do medical things that the parents think you
should not do.

Speaker 22 (01:35:55):
Here we go, well, California lawmakers are moving forward with
a b that some critics are calling legal kidnapping. It's
called the Family Preparedness Act. It would expand options for
people to seek temporary guardianships or step in as caregivers,
and that means adults who are not relatives would be

(01:36:15):
allowed to make short term educational healthcare decisions for those
kids without parental consent. Critics are warning that it could
allow virtually any adult claiming a quote mentorship to step
in even against a parent's wishes.

Speaker 2 (01:36:33):
Yeah, someone like a teacher who has a unique belief
that they're more important in the life of the kid
than the kid.

Speaker 1 (01:36:39):
A lot of people could do this. This is horrible
as an idea as a conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:36:45):
Look, so often in society, people out there say that
parents need to be more involved in the lives of children,
especially kids who are on the wrong side of doing
certain things, like the kids who are out there and
harming other people or just doing anything that's bad. That
one of the things that you wish were true is
that parents were more active in someone's life to guide

(01:37:05):
them to a different path, whether it's faith and other
things that could help do that too. Parents are a
vital part of it, and California wants to do the
exact opposite. They don't want to help prop up parents,
help get them more involved in kids' lives. They want
to say out loud that, don't worry, I will go
ahead and pass the law that would even strip parents
of rights in certain situations if we think it's appropriate

(01:37:26):
and we believe that it's the right thing to do
for whoever this random person is and the child, and
not the people who are actually the rightful, you know,
people raising someone. It's amazing to watch I've said this before,
and I'll say it again before I take a break.
It's amazing to watch people in certain parts of our country,
or in certain you know, arguments and conversations that happen politically,

(01:37:50):
no longer want to try to have that argument with
an adult. They think to themselves, this too hard, there's
too many varials, variables, too much push back. Let me
go ahead and rap my conversation through a child and
try to win the argument by brainwashing the child to
disagree with their parents on a myriad of issues, so
that in the future, what I think is true becomes

(01:38:12):
the prevalent opinion. Not because I've defeated any of the
adults who want to tell me I'm wrong, but because
I just go immediately down a.

Speaker 1 (01:38:19):
Step lower to kids.

Speaker 2 (01:38:21):
And it feels very often that the people on the
side of the argument that don't want to do that
are the more honorable people who would rather have an
argument adult to adult.

Speaker 1 (01:38:29):
And this is just terrific.

Speaker 2 (01:38:30):
This is horrible, and certainly the kind of thing that
I hope doesn't actually become a law anywhere, much less
in California. But yeah, that is a place that sounds
uniquely lost, because especially if you're a parent who's already
not active, like say you're a parent who is failing
your child, you're not doing enough to prevent them from
going down certain roads that you don't think they should
be going down. And then you hear about this, it

(01:38:53):
gives you even more opportunity to be like, all right, fine,
I'm done, I'm out. Somebody else can handle it, somebody
else can be in charge over here, which is another
thing that we don't need. The breakdown of the family
within our society seems to be something that some are
cheering for, and you have to wonder why what possible
value could come from that other than the one I
just said. Controlling the opinion of younger people to get

(01:39:16):
them to believe something more consistently than people of the
current generation who are say a voting age or older,
disagree with Try to change the argument by changing the
perception of someone when they're vulnerable is uniquely horrible. All right, well,
take one last break, we'll come back. We'll close up
everything for today. Thrilled to be with you, just before

great ways to stay connected to her at radio. Craigsy
if you want me to feel like I have a
few more followers than I currently have, which is not

(01:40:14):
very many, And to be honest, I need to try
to do more on Twitter and I'm not very good
at that. All right, let's talk about a couple crazy
things that are out there in the world. First, this
is just funny. The Democratic Party has a unpopular dark
money group that is apparently helping to fund all of
the influencers who are trying to make Democrats cool again
when they're definitely not, or if they ever were. What

(01:40:35):
I find funny about this is it must have been
like a year ago or so, the Republican Party was
outed for having a group of companies that were giving
advertising dollars to certain social media influencers, and it was
a big deal.

Speaker 1 (01:40:50):
Mainstream media talked about it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:51):
How you know people on the right were taking this money,
and multiple people went out and said, you know what,
actually I had a meeting and didn't take their money.
And then other people like, well, it took money, but
I didn't actually do any of the things they asked
me to do, which I thought was funny, But now
it's true of the left. The left has finally been
outed for doing the exact same crap and having just
a bunch of money funneled to people like eight million

(01:41:12):
dollars a month to disseminate left leaning talking points, and
for some reason, we got pupkiss. As far as people
talking about this, a lot of crickets, a lot of silence,
but it seems to be a big thing, and some
of the data that was put out seems to make
it a massive, massive amount of individuals who are getting
this money, even if they don't seem to be all
that influential. And guess who's seems to be connected to

(01:41:34):
this too, that's right, George Soros. So something that a
lot of Republicans have known for quite a while that
it seems that Democrats, who probably aren't even going to
pay attention to this, might be subtly admitting at least
some of them. Yeah, Soros is in control of the
party and does a lot of things, but it's unique
how much money you've got to spend to get the
influencers to say the stuff you want, because it's not

(01:41:56):
stuff that makes you a more popular person. Right now
in social media, which I find funny, scientists are studying
something they call mirror life. These would be synthetic organisms
that have the same molecular structure as living organisms that
are not created synthetically, but they would essentially flip the
DNA where some parts of it are quote left handed

(01:42:19):
and other parts are right handed.

Speaker 1 (01:42:20):
In how they arrange it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
The amino acids and sugar molecules, they would essentially do
the same structure, but in reverse. So Bizarro Superman is
something that they're actually talking about in real terms. That's
the best example I can give. In the world of science.
A bunch of scientists, including Nobel laureates, recently said this
is a horrible idea.

Speaker 1 (01:42:39):
Don't do this. It could be the end of society
as we know it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
It seems like we've learned nothing from COVID and all
the other horrible things that happen. The most devastating potential
problem of creating synthetic organisms that have a reverse version
of our genetic makeup is that they could be patriotishes
for all kinds of horrible bacteria and illness. Is that
we'd have no ability to treat and cure. They would

(01:43:04):
be completely able to evade all of our immune responses
because they do exactly the opposite of what they're supposed
to do, which again seems horrible. Please don't create Bizarro
Superman in the world in which we live. Science, even
though I'm worried that science doesn't give a crap about
people who say this, as we all know. And then finally,
one last one, a Saudi company has created an artificial

(01:43:27):
intelligence that is quote the Islamic chatbot. It also steals
all of your information, which just seems like a nice
extra kick in the gut on top of this, but
apparently the future of the Islamic culture, values, and heritage
would be alive and well within the Arabic language AI
chatbot created again by a Saudi AI company. A lot

(01:43:48):
of people are worried about some of the potential things
going on here and how it could even be further
manipulated to be potentially horrible. And then again, just any
AI out there created by any sort of government also
has that unique caveat of you're gonna get spied on
and they're just gonna do it no matter what you say,
they don't care. That does seem horrible too, So it's

(01:44:10):
one of the better reasons to choose not to do
anything with the world of AI as best you can
avoid it, even though it's almost impossible in our society
now to do it, because you're just one more avenue
to which you're surrendering any level of privacy. Although the
idea that we actually have privacy now is probably somewhat
sadly laughable anyway, which makes me a little bit sad.
All right, one last thing, I just want to mention
this very quickly. I am relatively new to Texas, only

(01:44:33):
been living here a while. I recently found out that
O Hoosts Locos is not in fact a family friendly
Mexican restaurant, although it could be. It'd be fine for that,
but more of like the Mexican restaurant version of Hooters.

Speaker 1 (01:44:45):
I took my wife there. It caused a whole big fight.

Speaker 2 (01:44:48):
So I just thought it was hilarious because I just
found out today that they'll be having the final round
of their bikini contest that we may or may not
witnessed a part of on the quote accidental journey there.
And so I wish I could get listeners of this
show to answer the question, I gotta bring the wife
back to find out who wins the bikini contest, even
if she hated.

Speaker 1 (01:45:06):
Going the first time. It's a story we don't have
the end of. You gotta get the end of stories, right.
That's a question. I'd love to have you answer it.
I know what the answer should be. Craig Collins filling
in on The Dana Show. See you later, everybody,
