Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Dana Show.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in Thrilled to be
with you over the holidays. Dana is back in just
a few days, a well deserved vacation for one of
the most successful people in this industry. D Lash and
Dana Lash Radio two places to stay connected to her
on X on Twitter, Let's start here. Donald Trump put
out a series of truth social posts that also then

(00:24):
are shared on other social media platforms like Twitter, saying
all kinds of things. It's something he's done every year
around Christmas, and I found these to be wildly entertaining.
I imagine a whole lot of Trump supporters did I
imagine a lot of people who hate Trump. I thought
they were the worst thing they've ever read in their
entire life. Part of the reason I personally think that

(00:45):
these were such interesting things to say in a collection
of things, especially during a Christmas season in which news
media is almost always lazy, like over the last couple days.
In the next couple days, almost feels like it happens
in a lot of news places because they're not really
looking for anything. They don't really want breaking news for

(01:07):
a variety of reasons. I imagine, and so Trump putting
out what he did and making people talk about some
of these things was kind of amazing. But I'm gonna
start it this way. Instead of playing audio of Trump
or reading some of the tweets and things he put
out there or truth social posts, I should say, I
want to play audio of CNN and Scott Jennings saying
how much he hopes we actually do buy Greenland, which

(01:28):
is one of the things that Trump referenced.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
I just really enjoyed this. Here we go, Yes, we
need Greenland. Greenland is an amazing thing to have.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
It's like you ever play monopoly, you know, like the
first row of properties like that they're cheap. Maybe I
don't know you need those, those are vital properties. You
want it for Greenland. I wanted him to do it before.
I want him to do it now. And I am
personally and on television applying to be the military governor
of Greenland if in fact we do take control of it.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
This is I don't think that they actually picture Scotty
Sorry about that, but nonetheless, I love this and I
love the reaction. At least one of the things that
Trump referenced, he called the Prime Minister of Canada, the
governor of Canada.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
This was Trump on his post.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I can't help finding it this funny because he has
said a couple times now that it wouldn't be the
worst thing for Canada if they became the fifty first state.
It's not going to happen, but it is an interesting
way to troll the leaders up north and maybe get
them to play ball like That's the whole point. All
of this is just to get people to be more
willing to give in to more of what Trump would

(02:28):
want from you, name the country or situation by seeming
as though he's serious in some of these very ridiculous
things that he's threatening to do. Greenland is not for sale.
We're not likely to convince Denmark to give it to
us or sell it to us in any capacity, even
though we'd very much like that and it would be

(02:49):
a good deal for the United States. Apparently Russian media
was all over it to supporting the idea of Trump
buying Greenland, which is interesting but nonetheless not necessarily a
reason for US to think it's a good idea if
their statewide media is in support of it. But also
there's another thing that gets referenced. The taking back of
the Panama Canal. And this is all in his tweets,

(03:12):
his you know things that he was saying over the
holiday that's getting talked about, and people still afraid that
Trump might try to forcibly take back the Panama Canal.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Here's what's true about this.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Most Americans did not even think about what it costs
to get across the Panama Canal, what the fees would be,
why Panama might have raised them recently and said that
it's tied to some sort of drought that that country
is facing, and how it might make places like the
United States mad, because well, darn it, that was a
gift that we gave you, and you're not being very

(03:45):
nice about that gift. It is interesting to have that
be at the forefront of anyone's mind because, as I
said before, Trump is re elected and still not actually
in the White House, but just talking about stuff enough
on social media and saying it in a way that
mainstream legacy media can't ignore. They're obsessed with demand, they

(04:06):
talk about them constantly. They do have Trump derangement syndrome.
But if he's going to make a reference to taking
back the Panama Canal, people can't help but be like, h,
we got to talk about this, and it makes you
and I aware of just how much money it costs
or how the fees have changed recently at the Panama Canal,
and that's again something that Americans would not have given
a crap about or even known about if not for Trump.

(04:30):
The buying of Greenland I find to be uniquely entertaining
because I saw some coverage of you know, how good
of a deal it would be depending on how much
we pay for it. I think one point five to
one point seven trillion dollars is the high end estimate
of what it would cost us, and people are comparing
it to like the Louisiana purchase. And it's just amusing

(04:50):
to me to see people actually, like legitimately talking about
things that happened so long ago as if they could
happen again, as if the United States could buy some territory,
because it's been a bit since we've done any of
that during the Trump presidency, and as Scott Jennings says,
it would be a legacy defining move for Trump. There
was one other thing he talked about. This was in

(05:13):
both his tweets and then actually some videos that were
put out to talking about his strong stance against people
who harm kids, specifically people who traffic miners and children.
You might think, and mainstream media, legacy media, seems to
think that this is.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
An extreme take.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
But I have to tell you that one of the
most universally agreed upon things for most people is an
individual who harms children deserves to be punished to the
full extent of the law. I've been doing this on
some other radio platforms I've been today, and it's probably
not a good idea to do it, but like even
a quote from the Bible attributed to Jesus talks about

(05:52):
the significant punishment that people deserve if they hurt kids,
something like being thrown to the bottom of the ocean.
Again not usually wise the day after Christmas, to paraphrase Jesus,
but nonetheless, it's it's fairly universal that punishing those who
harm innocent kids should be about as extreme as any
punishment we have in society.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
It's something that Trump is saying here.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
When I am back in the White House, I will
immediately end the Biden bordered nightmare that traffickers are using
to exploit vulnerable women and children. We will fully secure
the border. I will wage war on the cartels. Just
as I destroyed the ISIS Caliphate one hundred percent gone,
one hundred percent destroyed, they'll come back now because we

(06:34):
have a weak administration. I will use Title forty two
to end the child trafficking crisis by returning all traffic
children to their families in their home countries and without delay.
And I will urge Congress to ensure that anyone caught
trafficking children across our border receives the death penalty.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Immediately, immediately, the death penalty immediately for anyone that is
trafficking kids. Again, not exactly as an saying of a stance,
when you think about what he's saying that we should
be standing up against as a country in the world,
the harming of kids, specifically that that seems probably to
make sense to a lot of people. Just after Biden

(07:13):
commuted the sentence of thirty seven of forty death row inmates,
some of them convicted of horrible things that involve children.
So you know, one more time, I can't say it
any differently. Not something that sounds as controversial when you
hear the full context of it, as it's likely to
be reported on other places. Many people would hail that
as a good thing. The thing in the middle is

(07:35):
the thing that entertains me the most about what Trump said,
And I'll go ahead and play that again.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Destroyed the Isis Caliphate one hundred percent gone, one hundred
percent destroyed. They'll come back now. Because we have a
weak administration, I will use Title forty two to end
the child trafficking crisis by returning all traffic children to
their families in their home countries and without delay.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, it's that part too, the whole returning people to
their home countries and without delay thing. Of course, Trump
has been challenged before the kids in cages, which you
remember was actually something that happened during the Biden or
excuse me, the Obama administration, not the Trump administration, but
something that he was attacked for. So not keeping kids
here but returning them to family and loved ones that

(08:20):
we find in foreign countries would be a way to
mitigate that complaint. Necessarily, I don't know if that'll actually work.
I don't know how many kids that I get brought
across the border here are going to be people where
we can locate other family members for a variety of reasons.
But nonetheless, I think again to say it as crystally
clear as I can. Punishing those who hurt kids not controversial,

(08:44):
not usually considered controversial to a whole.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Lot of Americans.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
One other thing out there, and this just amused me
because of the ridiculousness of it. So two women, I think,
two twenty somethings are in the backseat of a police
car in California, and one woman seems surprised to find
out that theft is now a felony again in California.
Granted you have to be caught doing it more than
once for the dollar amount not to matter and for

(09:11):
the misdemeanor charge to be up to a felony, but
completely different than what the rules were just a short
time ago in that state when you saw an incredible
rise in smash and grab crimes and just like brazen
theft happening all throughout California. Now in the back of
a police car with their hands cuffed behind them, the
one woman is finding out how much trouble they're in

(09:33):
and seems shocked by it. And I just love the
response from the other person that also has caught, you know,
stealing stuff with her. Yeah, stealing is a felony now
and that you know, bleep word new laws is what
she says to her friend, being like, they changed some

(09:53):
stuff and if you weren't paying attention, we were risking
ourselves quite a bit, and how much trouble we'd get
in also goes on to say Orange County not playing,
meaning that apparently she's been arrested and in troubled here before,
which is part of what it takes to enhance the
charge to a felony. But one more time for anyone
out there that needs the information, especially throughout a whole

(10:13):
lot of California.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Once again, illegal.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
And seriously illegal to steal stuff and take stuff that's
not yours, and probably a good thing to finally cause
people to don't know follow laws. But that's a lot
of the context of this entire opening segment of this
show is that Trump or you know, California or whoever
it might be, is actually trying to get back to
a place in which laws matter.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
And that sounds good.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
That sounds like that will benefit all of us, right
quick break, A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in
on the Danas Show.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
Our partners over at Preborn Greater Organization that's out there
saving lives right and left, and they're meeting with mothers
and they're helping them as these mothers are facing an
unexpected pregnancy, are unplanned pregnancy, I should say, and a
lot of people are searching for hope and all a
lot of people feel like this is that's you know,
a lot of women they think that that's their last
resort and it's not. And that's what Preborn Ministry steps

(11:05):
in to help with. They meet these women, they introduce
them to their babies ultrasounds, they listen to the heartbeat.
When that happens, studies shown that a child's chance of
surviving doubles at that point.

Speaker 6 (11:17):
But that's not all.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
They partner with these women up until the toddle are
years making sure that these families get the best start,
and that just goes so much. That's exactly what is needed.
They steward these women, they help this new life, and
they're able to do it because of your generous donations.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Let's do a quick five.

Speaker 8 (12:40):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
That's right, let's do these rapid fire. The first one
very weird. First it was just women in China that
we're doing this. Now women throughout the world are doing this.
Apparently they're going to social media and taking photos of
themselves with fake baby bump. The reason that they're doing
this in China was to celebrate a anniversary of the
No More One Child policy and also to look good

(13:09):
for when they in the future both have a relationship
and get pregnant. They want the fake version of the
baby bump photo to be better than the real version
because they're younger. This is something that other women now
throughout the world they're doing on social media. It's a
viral trend, terrifying boyfriends everywhere. I imagine as far as
the thing goes, if they even have a boyfriend at

(13:29):
the time that they're taking the photo. Apparently some do not.
Another story out there that I thought was interesting. It's
called the Christmas gas prank. Mostly it's women pulling this
on men. They call their husband or whoever and they say, hey,
I was running out of gas, and I stopped by
the gas station and I got the Christmas gas because

(13:52):
it was cheaper. And then the husband usually goes, what
are you talking about? What's the Christmas gas and the
woman will say the one with the grain handle, which
would be d And then the woman usually says something
to the effective And now the car's running weird and
seems like it's about to stall. Do you know what's
going on? If you believe them, they just ruined the vehicle.
They just destroyed that engine. There's a lot of problems

(14:12):
that you're gonna have. The Christmas gas prank making the
Internet laugh and your loved one terrified for a short
amount of time.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Is something out there.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
That I guess people are doing and then putting up
the reaction on social media because you can be a
jerk as long as you do it virally out of
the people you care about to the amusement of total strangers.
That's the world we live in now. But the Christmas
gas prank is out there. It's real. Some find it humorous.
I'm gonna be honest, I find it a little funny too.
I'm glad that I wouldn't think of anyone in my

(14:42):
life as dumb enough to actually do this, so I
wouldn't be that afraid that it actually occurred. Another story
that I love out there as far as a viral
Quick five moment. A guy who drives a cyber truck
decided to take it with his wife to go see
his in laws in rural West Virginia at a farm.
When he got there, he found out that the farm

(15:03):
had no way to charge the cyber truck. There was
some discussion about maybe some things that got done. The
parents didn't exactly get it figured out, so the guy
had to plug it into a regular outlet. And if
you don't know, a cyber truck will charge one to
two miles of distance per hour when plugged into a
regular plug. So it took six days to recharge the vehicle.

(15:23):
The guy said it was an awful six days to
spend with the in laws because he was stuck there
couldn't do anything. I imagine they had a bunch of
vehicles on the farm they could have used to tow
the cyber truck to some sort of supercharger and get
them out of there, but the in laws obviously didn't
want to do that. They also probably complained for days
about the extension cord going outside of their house into

(15:44):
a car outside, and who knows if it even was
turning off like the.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Lights on the Christmas tree.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I kind of hope it was because the amount of
fighting I now picture being a thing that happens would
just be all over the place. Fighting with the in
laws is never fun. The simmering tension of this one
sounds Hallmark movie worth to me. And then one last one.
As far as quick stories go, thirty two thousand dollars
per person was the amount of money spent for a

(16:08):
recent bachelor.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Party trip to the North Pole.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Over a thousand people were surveyed asking like, what's a
very expensive thing you did for someone? This was the
number one answer. A very stupid use of thirty two
thousand dollars to me. They had thermal equipment to protect
them from negative thirty one degree weather, They got to
experience a few different helicopter rides and polar guides and whatnot.
But just think thirty two k per person if you

(16:34):
spend that somewhere like Vegas, how much fun that's going
to be and how uncomfortable you're not going to be
having to deal with negative thirty two degree weather. But
that was another big story out there that went viral
and a lot of people made fun of it. As
just a total waste of time. Quick break a lot
coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
And our partners over at Burnegun the non firearm firearm,
And it's always good to diversify your self defense arsenal
because you know, I would love to I carry all
the time, and I have zero problem using lethal force.
You come at me, ufa ufo. That's kind of how
I look at it. But I know that there are

(17:14):
areas that are gun free zones or gun free buildings,
private property or whatever it is. And sometimes you know
you don't have the luxury of declining to go there.
Maybe you got to go there as part of your job,
but you also don't want to be a statistic This
is where Bernagun comes in. Stun guns. Regular ones are
restricted to like one or two shots. Burna's most popular model,
the Berna SD, has a five round capacity and shoots

(17:35):
chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to
fifty feet away. They have a whole carry bundle that
you can get. This is a great holiday gift too.
By the way, you can get defense spray. They have
la launcher carry bundle. They got all kinds of stuff,
but it provides to you instant writiness, no recoil, easy
target acquisition. It's legal in all fifty states, no background checks,

(17:57):
no permits. They can ship it right to your front porch,
and it doesn't care about gun zone signs. It's an
effective deterrent, and it's another option that you can have
for self defense, particularly when the state's trying to deny you,
or maybe a property owner wants to deny you. You

the world.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Dana.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
I thought this was really interesting a few tweets over
the holiday, even some earlier this morning showing just how
deep of a attempt was made by the Biden Harris
administration to hide any information about a potential lab leak.
Fe As early as twenty twenty one, the FBI was
the only agency that said without a supreme amount of

(19:07):
confidence that they thought that potentially the Wuhan lab in
China leaked COVID nineteen since it was a coronavirus lab,
sort of famously made fun of by John Stewart, who
then complained that he got attacked by the left for
saying it. But it's sort of ridiculous that it took
that long for a lot of places to admit the

(19:28):
likelihood of this, and apparently this was intentionally done to
the current president.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Although you know what, I pause a bit.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
This is all leaked information, and it seems that there's
likely some truth to it. But there's additional information that
shows where the Biden Harris administration silenced these types of claims,
because the first claim is that he didn't even know
about it. Essentially, at a briefing in early twenty twenty one,
when agencies would have been giving their report on what
they thought happened to President Biden, the FBI was doubt

(20:01):
not that many agencies typically show up and represent themselves
in this, but even the reporting by the FBI was
left out. Essentially, they're saying in some of these leaked documents,
the biggest reason that Biden was so confident in his
opinion is that they simply didn't even tell them about
the belief that something else existed.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Now that could be true.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
They kept a lot of information directly from the President
of the United States, because he doesn't seem like he
was actually running the country at all for four years.
The Wall Street Journal also reporting on that somewhat recently.
But the fact that the administration probably knew and took
steps to hide this information or hide this you know
theory also seems to be more than plausible, but tremendously

(20:41):
likely based on what's been leaked so far. So truthfully,
anyway to try to you know, make the president seem
like he was unaware and that means he deserves some
level of forgiveness for not acting more informed about this
is actually a fairly straw man argument because the administration itself,
actual power that was in charge, seems to be the

(21:02):
issue with covering up and hiding so much of this.
But the latest details once again providing us sort of
the two things that you can know together about so
much of what happened during the early and middle parts
of COVID. They knew they were lying to us, and
they did it anyway. There are some that believed that
they didn't know they were lying, but just kind of

(21:24):
like we're guessing it stuff, And as some medical things,
I believe that that is likely to be more true
than not. They were probably guessing knowing they could very
well be wrong, and not caring about that and not
telling us that part. But any study, any information that's
come out over the last few years on a large
variety of this information, has proven time and again that

(21:45):
they willfully told us something was definitively a fact when
it wasn't, and more times than not knew the exact
opposite was true. So horrific I say that to set
up this other piece of audio. Joe Manchin is on
his way out. He's done with politics, or at least
being someone in the Senate. He has long been a

(22:05):
person that people would point to and say, well, he
was a Democrat. He's actually been a Democrat for a
long time before becoming an independent. And he's willing to
say the thing out loud that most of his Party
is not willing to say John Fetterman might be taking
the baton from him. I'm not sure, but it seems
that way sometimes. But Mansion did to sit down, you know,

(22:26):
over a beer discussion with CNN. I don't know why
they had to do this in a bar. It's stupid.
But as they're talking, a Mansion gave the strongest indictment
yet of the Democratic Party that anyone who's been a
part of it has ever given. And so I want
to play part of that audio of just how bad
things have gotten.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Here we go.

Speaker 9 (22:43):
I am not a Democrat in the form of what
the Democratic Party has turned itself into the national brand.
Absolutely not. And they know that they're all good people
on both sides.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
But what do you think is the reason for you
said you're not a Democrat?

Speaker 4 (22:59):
What because Joe Mansion to divorce themselves from Here's what.

Speaker 9 (23:03):
I told them. I said, you got to figure out
how you lost somebody like me.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
I was born by the way, I could stop it
right there.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
You also should figure out how you lost someone like
Elon Musk, someone like Joe Rogan. There's a bunch of
people that said they were long term Democrats who just
don't understand the party anymore and see themselves as still
the same level of down the middle independent person who
is more captured by the discussions on the right than
by the discussions on the left as far as their

(23:30):
beliefs and who they.

Speaker 9 (23:31):
Aligned with as a Democrat. Because my grandfather's love of FDR.
I was a very strong Democrat. Because of my family's
lover of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, I came through the whole iteration,
and I was a Democrat in West Virginia, and it
has always been a seventy five eighty percent morality a
democrat right, not anymore, But there was a split. I

(23:54):
was never in the liberal side of it. I was
never in the establishment side, so I always had to
fight way through.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
But it is I love the fact that you're this
far into this discussion and the person doing the interview
is still not sure he's gotten the right answer. But
what is it that makes you not want to be
a Democrat and not the fact that you feel utterly
unwelcome and that your entire life, what you've thought of
a Democrat as being is not what it currently is.
Ane of that, give me, give me one more, give

(24:21):
me the thing that we can play as the short clip.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Is it a shift.

Speaker 9 (24:25):
Yeah, the brand got so bad. The D brand has
been so maligned from the standpoint of it's just it's toxic.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
And the brand, the D brand, the Democratic brand, the
Democratic brand, excuse me, itself is toxic. You know what's
really interesting about this, as I dive a little deeper
into the thought of all of that, you have a
lot of rhetoric on both sides that people call extreme.
They claim that this is extreme. Things that people say.
When you look at the stuff on the right that's extreme,

(24:56):
it's almost often always tied to Trump, and a whole
lot of it. Stuff like I want to take back
to Panama Canal, a lot of people know isn't actually
going to happen, or if it does happen, Like honestly,
I don't know that it would be all that bad
for the United States if it did again, I.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Doubt it it would.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
But you know, taking Greenland another example of stuff recently
out there, they would actually benefit us if we owned
it and we bought it somehow. But I dicress that
rhetoric is not usually what shapes the actual policy, and
when you're actually trying to get extreme rhetoric to shape policy.
For the most part, what conservatives are trying to do
is limit the amount of money spent in DC in Washington,

(25:34):
limit government itself, a long running, very simplistic conservative stance
that a whole lot of Americans agree with. They think
that Washington is wasting our money, over spending and causing
things like inflation. And when you look at the left,
yes there's extreme rhetoric, but that also seems to work
out as extreme policy decisions. Oftentimes, the craziest thing said

(25:55):
by the conservative is not the thing that inevitably gets passed.
The craziest thing said by the a Democrat is the
thing that they try to pass, and they try to
shame people into believing that it's the only way to
move forward. It's actually usually why I think rhetoric on
the left is more emotionally charged than it is on
the right. If you want to try to validate a

(26:16):
wide open border to the entirety of our country, the
Democrats have to tell the story of a mother with
two kids who crosses the border because she can't afford
to live and support her family somewhere else, And the
Democrats choose to leave out the story of the people
who are coming across the border and hurting people, and
there's a lot of people who are doing that that's
left out. The emotional narrative is all that matters. The

(26:38):
same holds true with abortion, for example, one that I
use a lot to talk about some of the more
extreme ways that stuff gets argued. The Democratic position on
this is that women's health is at risk and women
could die because they're not going to be given a
certain a treatment in scenarios where their life is in jeopardy.
And you had an obgyn in Texas go viral for

(27:00):
saying that that was crap, saying that I work here,
I work in this place, I've worked in this place
for a long time, and I know the narrative that's
emotional and not true, and how often you see it
in all these other places. But that's essentially the place
we're in right now, where if the most extreme stuff
on the right you can simply smile and ignore it,
if you're someone that's not in agreement with that sort

(27:21):
of thing because you believe that the policies at the
end of the day won't reflect it, or if you're
someone that's extreme on the left and you are upset
because the policies don't always reflect what you want to
see done in the world. That's the big issue with
some younger voters on the left is they didn't think
that they went far enough in the degree they wanted
to go. Then, yeah, the Democratic brand becomes toxic, and

(27:42):
a lot of people who think they're in the middle,
like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan, now think that they're
part of the you know, ven diagram or whatever it
is that Kamala Harris would love to talk about in
relationship to this that fall on the Republican side and
not the Democratic side.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
And actually some thing else by Mansion that I thought
was really interesting.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
And you've probably said this before or thought this before yourself,
if you've had a conversation like this with a loved one.
Some of the marquee Democrats in history would be conservatives
by today's standard, people like Kennedy who Mansion mentions, those
are individuals that if you look at the policies, at
the speeches, at the discussion points, so much of it

(28:23):
is echoed by people on the conservative side of the
aisle now And that was a vastly popular Democrat. So
what has changed there. It doesn't seem that if you
look at the history of both parties that what you
see is extreme rhetoric getting more extreme on the right
based on you know, who falls into that bucket now

(28:43):
compared to the left, the left feels like it's moving
off into a corner and the right feels like it's
absorbing some of that middle sort of by happenstance, you know,
because you just don't believe that the next policy decision
by a Democrat involving your school is something that would
be good for your kids, And you think whatever is
happening on the right, at least it'll get government out
of the way and you can decide for yourself what

(29:05):
you want to do. So it's just very interesting to
hear and see them say and you know, crap all
over Democrats one last time on the way out on CNN. Well,
for some reason, being at a bar and having a
beer again, mansion looks more normal than most. Not quite
as uncomfortable as people like you know, Polcahontas as Trump
would call her. But so many people out there that

(29:26):
seem to need to do this like human part will
do in the political part, just just tell me the
political stuff. You don't need to pretend to have a
beer or to pretend to be having fun while you're
talking about this. I don't need that, all right, quick break,

D lash or Dana Lash Radio two great places to
stay connected on X on Twitter, Americans are tuning out
political conversation an all time high, according to the Associated Press.
There's a couple of reasons why the Associated Press says
they're doing that. The first one is that places like

(31:21):
MSNBC and CNN have terrible ratings. I think that's more
the quality of the product than people just not wanting
to pay attention to politics.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
At all, But I digress.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Also, in a survey, seven out of ten Democrats and
six out of ten Republicans said they've had enough. They
don't need a daily barrage of this information, and I
imagine that's for very different reasons. Of course, Democrats are
probably sick of it because I don't know, they've been
convinced by their own party to be afraid of everything
that could happen over the next four years, regardless of

(31:52):
the legitimacy of that, and so at some point boy
cries wolf enough and you just get sick of the
whole thing. And Republicans, I think, more so than not,
are just annoyed with bull crap versions of political rhetoric
and the fear mongering that exists whenever Trump says anything.
Trump uniquely good, even better now than ever before, at
manipulating media to talk about the things he says in

(32:15):
a way that I think will benefit him, especially when
he sits down and has conversations with other world leaders.
But nonetheless, what I think is so interesting about this is, Yeah,
a lot of people are sick of it because a
lot of the political rhetoric and storytelling and coverage that
exists in our society is just truly broken. Another thing
out there that I thought was interesting as far as

(32:37):
I don't know if this is an uplifting or not
a version of a thing. People were asked how to
rate twenty twenty four as a year, give it a
one through ten, and how it compares to other years.
Of course, not as bad as some of the worst
years we've faced over them recent four to five years
or so. Of a twenty twenty four got a six

(32:58):
out of ten for most people, so an ah rating.
The things that made it a good year, I thought
were really interesting because you have a lot of ability
to do this whenever you feel like it. It's not
something that you have to wait for a specific year
something to have happened, or that can change if something
bad goes on. But things that made people likely to
rate the year higher is if they reconnected with an

(33:20):
old friend or family member, if they had some sort
of personal or creative growth of some kind, if they
got a pet.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
I was one of the ones on this list.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
I learned a new skill, volunteered somewhere, or visited a
new place. All stuff you can do at any time.
You don't have to wait this year next year. You
could do some of that right now. A little twenty
twenty four still exists if you want to. And those
are the things that made us rate the year.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
The best.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
So what I love about that, if I'm doing the
like Kumbaya hopeful moment in all of it is we
have a tremendous amount of power to make any year
a good year just by doing those kind of things. So,
if in twenty twenty five you want to have a
better year, some of that stuff at the top of
that list I just mentioned, and boom, you're gonna feel
great about it, even if some horrible stuff happens too,

(34:06):
which is interesting. A whole lot of us feel, you know,
as though we're not in control of a grand amount
of things that make us happy or not happy. But
the reality is very different from what you might think
according to this data. Also, I guess this might make
you feel good and not maybe make you rate the
whole year is good. But Burger King has given away
free stuff. This isn't an advertisement. I just saw this

(34:30):
shared enough places that I thought people thought it was interesting.
Thirty one days of Deals is the promotion. You can
get a free chicken sandwich today and then on Monday
you can get a free bacon cheeseburger. Here's the reason
it's going viral on the internet.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Though.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
A way to game the system, you have to be
a member of their app like anybody else does, and
you've got to buy at least one dollar worth of
actual menu items in order to get the free item.
And people said, you can just buy four sauce packets
and that'll equal exactly one dollar, the cheapest way to
get your item for free, and not exactly the thing
that Burger King is trying to promote. I think probably

(35:07):
why this is not an endorsement for them, because they
don't want this information out there, but just a uniquely
like sad thing that a lot of people are doing.
You buy the four sauce packets, whether you want them
or not, and you get yourself the free chicken sandwich
or the free bacon cheeseburger which probably only costs a
couple bucks as well anyway, instead of just buying like
something from the dollar menu that's actually food. But that

(35:29):
is a real story that's out there that people are
reacting to. And then one final one, I just thought
this was interesting. A woman quote unquote revealed the genius hack,
according to the Internet, to get guys to stop hitting
on you. She was on a beach in Australia. A
guy walked up to her and asked for her number,
She turned her phone toward him, said that she was
live streaming and said she wanted her potential new husband

(35:52):
to meet her mom, who would have been watching the
live stream, and the dude just walked away. That was
too many pieces all added together. Whether the guy wanted
to be on live stream or not for reasons that
may not be you know, good. A lot of people
were guessing that was the issue, or just the fact
that you're trying to meet mom within the first few
moments of meeting someone is not.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
A great move.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
We don't know what it is, but women are saying
this will work, and it's also kind of insane, but
we'll see if you try it out.

on X on Twitter. Very very popular and successful human being.
A lot of ways to stay connected to Dana's stuff.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Let's do this. There's a story out.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Of Houston that's causing a lot of people to have
different opinions. And the only reason I think that anyone
has a remotely different opinion than the one I'm about
to share, the one I have about this issue is
the age of the people that were committing the crime.
The people that were trying to rob another man again
in Houston, Texas, are between the ages of twelve and fourteen.

(38:11):
Three out of four of the individuals trying to rob
someone were injured. In what I'm about to play as
far as the news audio how this happened, A one
is reportedly in critical condition, but nonetheless, four teenagers twelve
to fourteen sadly their ages.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
I walked up and tried to.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Armed and dangerous rob a guy on the streets of Texas,
and what happened might have been more predictable to some
of us than others.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Here's part of the audio, Good morning Amy.

Speaker 10 (38:40):
In the course of the investigation, deputies learned those kids
were just between the ages of twelve and fourteen years old,
and they tried robbing a man with a gun. Witsa
At least three of those kids were.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
By the way, not one gun. Actually many guns were
recovered from the scene. So out of the four teens
that were holding weapons, three of them were shot.

Speaker 10 (39:00):
One of them is still in critical condition at last
to check. When Harris County sheriff deputies showed up here,
they found one of the kids with several gunshot wounds.
He was taken to a nearby trauma center in critical condition.
As I just mentioned, and as paramedics were attending to him,
two other kids were found with gunshot wounds. Both were
taken to the hospital and are stable.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Shortly after that.

Speaker 10 (39:20):
The suspected shooter, who deputies believe the teens were trying
to rob, returned to the scene and turned himself in.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
He is also cooperating with authorities. In every part of
this conversation, there is an interesting part. Another reason this
story probably went viral out of Texas is what a
witness says he saw and what he did in response
to it. Again, Texas estate where you could assume that
the person you're trying to attack with an gun might
actually also be armed.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Here we go.

Speaker 11 (39:47):
Some gunshots sound like they were basically at my front door.
I mean, of course, as you can see from behind me,
they were down the whale. They be Frank and uns
with you. I grabbed my gun, which is in a polster,
and walked outside to see what it was. Good and all.

Speaker 12 (40:00):
And it's believed the incenter and kurt due to an attempt
at aggravated robbery that involved the juveniles attempted to rob
the adult male.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Okay, so there's a few things here. The first thing
I would say, I'm a gun owner. I've only been
a gun owner for the last couple of years and
definitely enjoyed learning how to one you know, utilize my
second Amendment right, but also how to fire a weapon.
It's it's fun as far as the thing you could
do if you choose to do it. But the thing
I know and most people who've had any amount of

(40:32):
you know, even a simplistic course, I'm not pretending I
have training like actual human beings who you know, serve
and protect our country or our community, but any training
at all is that if you if you draw a
weapon on a person, you have to be willing to
use it. And thankfully that the you know, man that
was getting robbed wasn't injured. It sounds like these kids

(40:52):
twelve to fourteen years old did not intend to use
their weapons. They just intended to frighten someone with them. However,
the guy, the adult who had a weapon, knows that
if you draw it, you use it, so he defended himself.
He has every right to defend himself when armed robbers
approach you. Yes it's sad, Yes it's upsetting if they're
twelve to fourteen. But there's an aspect of this too

(41:14):
that I couldn't get over, and all the things I'm
reading about it, for anyone that's saying it's horrible and terrible,
and you know, with the Christmas season and everything being around,
to be dealing with your child being in the hospital
for the one kid who's in critical condition, the thing
I can't get over is like, what is the person
supposed to do If it's not that stuff, what is
the person who's you know, being attacked by four guys

(41:38):
kids or whatever. And I don't know exactly how old
the twelve or fourteen year olds look, but that are
armed and threatening to shoot you. And if you have
a gun and you know how to use it, what
are you supposed to do? You defend yourself. That's the
whole reason of having it, that's the whole reason of
carrying a weapon is to protect yourself from dangerous situations.
Now again, I guess the big fallout or discussion about

(42:01):
this is what else you know could have or should
have happened in the first place to prevent these kids
from having guns to be on the street robbing someone
like where the parents is a valuable question, et cetera,
et cetera. But what I can't get over again is
is the entire intention of being able to protect yourself
as if you're put in a life or death situation,

(42:22):
which if someone points a weapon at you, that is
a life or death situation.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
You don't know if they're willing to use it or not.
You have to assume they are.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
And your response to it doesn't deserve the amount of
debate it's going to get. And it's only because again
of the age of the kids and that that's horrific
for a different reason, and I'll tell you what that is.
You're seeing a lot of very serious crimes committed by
younger and younger people in our society. You have a
lot of like you know, auto grand theft, auto or

(42:53):
whatever you're supposed to call it, where people are joy
riding and stealing cars and things. They learned on TikTok
on social media, and it winds up being under the
age of eighteen individuals who are doing this, and sometimes
as young as some of the people in this story. Yeah,
I would feel horrible for anyone involved, including the guy
who used the gun to defend himself, because anyone who

(43:14):
does that in a certain situation doesn't usually do it
with joy. I mean, cops and people who wind up
using their weapon in the line of duty wind up
dealing with a lot of the mental fallout of that.
But it is the only decision you have in that moment.
So I'm sort of dumbfounded by some of the discussion
on this topic, even though I understand if you're trying

(43:35):
really hard to get to a place where if I'm
equating it to like a twelve to fourteen year old
I know, and not one approaching people with a gun
threatening to shoot and rob them that you wouldn't you
want to see anyone you know be injured in this way,
But it's decision making that put them in jeopardy, and
not something where you got to blame the guy who's

(43:57):
defending himself, but a lot on social media doing it
like you should have known because they're younger, that they
weren't going to actually shoot you as they're pointing a
gun at you, which is insane to say out loud,
and yet people are saying it all right. Another thing
this deserves some coverage. There were several truth social posts
from President Trump soon to be again president Trump, but

(44:18):
president elect Trump, and they got a lot of coverage
in media, and I.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Haven't read them at all today.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
I've just been kind of like throwing out some of
the pieces of them, but I could read more of it.
What I do like about the Trump posts on Christmas
is he usually starts a lot of them with Merry Christmas,
and then he's also usually targeting people that he does
not like as part of his Christmas wishes. The first
of the posts he put up said Merry Christmas to all,

(44:47):
including the wonderful soldiers of China who are lovingly but
illegally operating the Panama Canal where we lost thirty eight
thousand people and it's building one hundred and ten years ago.
Always making certain that the US puts in billions of
dollars in quote unquote repair money, but will have absolutely
nothing to say about anything. Also, the governor Justin Trudeau

(45:08):
of Canada. This is of course, in reference to how
Trump thinks that Canada might benefit from becoming the fifty
first state of the United States, whose citizens' taxes are
far too high. But if Canada was to become the
fifty first state, their taxes would be cut by more
than sixty percent, their businesses would immediately double in size,
and they would be protected by the best.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Military in the world.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
He went on to also say, likewise, the people of Greenland,
which is needed by the United States for national security purposes,
and who want the US to be there, and we will.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
That was one of a few.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
He also tweeted a lot of things or actually truth
social and then it gets put on other platforms, a
lot of things about some of the decision making of
Biden recently. This obviously is somewhat designed to be talked
about by a lot of media, and in doing so
you wind up asking yourself, well, why would why would
Trump even want to take back the Panama Canal and

(46:02):
the amount of fees that we pay, and the fact
that those fees have risen recently because Panama has a
drought and they're trying to gain money to help with
their drought by charging more money for people to go
through the Panama Canal or whatever it is with Greenland,
and how resource rich that place is, and how it
might be possible for the United States to negotiate some

(46:22):
kind of deal to get access to more of those resources.
All of these have a purpose. All of these are
being obsessed about by mainstream media as the latest examples
of that Trump's a terrible person. And then there's one
last one as far as Trump is concerned, And this
one I find pretty interesting because it's in essence part
of a second or third message he put up on

(46:43):
social media, but also something he put up via video.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
So he spoke as.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Well about the punishment for people who hurt kids. Anyone
who traffics miners will be given the death penalty. Again,
tough words, but not necessarily words that I think a
whole lot of Americans would actually disagree with, because when
you hurt kids, you wind up having a universal kind
of feeling that person deserves the fullest extent of the

(47:12):
penalties of the law. Here's what Trump said exactly.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
When I am back in the White House, I will
immediately end the Biden border nightmare. That traffickers are using
to exploit vulnerable women and children. We will fully secure
the border. I will wage war on the cartels, just
as I destroyed the ISIS Caliphate one hundred percent gone,
one hundred percent destroyed.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
By the way, I want to stop it real quick.
I thought that was a really interesting thing to say, too.
He's mentioning how he wants to secure the border, there
will be people that will be deported, all this stuff
that winds up getting him attacked as a racist or whatever,
and he says that he would actually fight the cartel.
My wife is from Mexico. Her family still lives there.
I've been there a tremendous amount of times. If the

(47:55):
United States actually did directly fight the cartel more significantly
than they've done so far, which sounds like a tremendously
challenging thing, for a variety of reasons, it would be
good not just for the people of the United States,
but for the people of Mexico. So I thought it
was interesting to put that right in the middle of
this part of the statement, because essentially, you're saying something
that would be wildly popular with our neighbors to the south.

(48:17):
Using our military r resources to fight the drug dealers
and horrible people that exist, and hav an an overwhelming
amount of power in the South.

Speaker 4 (48:27):
Continue they'll come back now because we have a weak administration,
I will use Title forty two to end the child
trafficking crisis by returning all traffic children to their families
in their home countries and without delay. And I will
urge Congress to ensure that anyone caught traffic in children,
of course our border receives the death penalty immediately.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Look, I got to be honest, even though he's being
used by some on a certain side of the aisle
as being like too extreme, too crazy, too insane, and honestly,
I'm Catholic and I'm not trying to throw my faith
into the equation. You know, for no reason whatsoever. But
the death penalty is a tricky one for people to
talk about in general. But when you talk about kids specifically,

(49:10):
and people who would traffic or harm children, the idea
of putting those people to death or having the death
penalty be the punishment to deter that type of thing
is something that I think a lot of Americans actually
would agree with because even and.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
I've I've quoted it a couple times now, and I
probably shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
My faith keeps making me think of it as a
thing the Bible as a quote from Jesus about how,
you know, people who harm kids deserve to be thrown
to the bottom of the ocean. So even Biblical scholars
would say that there was some sort of universal not
the death penalty per se, but some sort of universal
acceptance and belief that those who harm children are the

(49:46):
uniquest and worst of sinners or you know, criminals that
exist in our society. So again it's going to be
covered as this horribly radical thing that gets said, But
if it's actually designed to truly protect children, I wonder
how many parents are really going to be upset when
they hear that message said in that way. Right, quick
break a lot more. This is Greg Collins filling in

Speaker 7 (51:26):
Makes some common sense of the crazy headlines. With a
Dana Show podcast, you're on the go guide for getting
up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube,
Apple or your favorite podcast platform.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins.
Filling in. Let's try to do a real quick quick.

Speaker 8 (51:42):
Five and now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quickfive.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
All right.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
First, an Amazon driver abandoned eighty packages in the woods
in Massachusetts because he said he was stressed with holiday deliveries.
You probably shouldn't be an Amazon driver, especially in December,
if you're going to get stressed out by having too
many packages in the back of your vehicle, and you
also shouldn't ditch them all in the exact same place
for cops to find them and be like, hey, what
happened here? An easy case for them to solve, by

(52:11):
the way, because you left all eighty things in your
own route, not even that far into the woods, so
you didn't even do that part.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Well.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
But luckily that's why people were going to get their
stuff just after Christmas, because cops found a bunch of
unattended packages just lying around. Another story out there, flight
times or indeed getting longer. People might think that their
flights are taking longer, that everything about flying is getting worse.
They're right about that, about twenty minutes longer on average,
mostly because of the increase in amount of traffic in

(52:40):
the air causing people to take less direct flights or
circle longer around airports before.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Landing, etc. Etc. This is something that people would like
to have fixed.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Also, the amount of carry on luggage that's gotten so
large that it feels like regular luggage out of people
taking up.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
All the space in the overhead bins.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Another complaint about airlines, But those are things out there
that apparently are actually happening. Another story of a couple
that went viral saying they moved to one of the remote,
most remote islands in the world. It's so far from
society that they have to spend six months planning and
then purchasing items to have them shipped in time for

(53:18):
things like Christmas, so you're buying all your Christmas gifts
in June to make sure that they get.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
There in time. But they said they would not go
back to regular.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Society, regular civilization, that it's so much better where they're
living now, being away from everybody and everything. I imagine
there's a whole lot of people that agree with them
that that kind of makes sense for whatever reason. It
might be maybe ba humbug some of the family members,
but you can't go anywhere because you're in a completely
remote area.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
And then, finally, one last thing.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
A survey found that people over the age of fifty
five are still very active in the bedroom.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
I don't know how to say that cleaner for the radio.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
Surprising to the people who are studying this is the
amount of fifty five and old who once a week
have a romantic time. They're saying that this is a
combination of different things, but maybe also just the fact
that and this is the uplifting part of it. The
best is yet to come. Yes, I could have made
dirty er jokes. I didn't make any during this whole segment.
But your life will not yet, you know, less interesting.

(54:17):
It might get more interesting as you get older, especially
if you even wind up living in a retirement home
where apparently a lot of the romance is occurring for
people over the age of fifty five.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Something that might.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Haunt your dreams is a piece of information if you
started to think about your own family members above that
age group. I apologize for it, but hey, good for them.
Quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on

Speaker 2 (54:53):
filling in. Dana is back just after the holidays, thrilled
with you. You can find her d Lash or Dana
Lash Radio on x on Twitter. The Hill is resurrecting
a very weird argument that Congress should prevent Trump from
taking office. This is something that Jamie Raskin has talked

(55:15):
about before. The moron who sometimes has been Dana on
the top of his head. But anyway, Jamie Raskin has said,
how you know this could be a move that Congress makes.
I can play the old audio of him making the argument.
What's so interesting to me, though, is every time that
Democratic talking heads or whoever they are, want to essentially

(55:38):
fulfill a conspiracy theory. If you're someone who believed the
twenty twenty election was stolen from Trump, or you know,
at least some stupid stuff or weird stuff, or you know,
stuff that should have been illegal but was claimed wasn't happened.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
You were not alone.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
You're very much in a giant group of individuals. And
so if Congress attempted to block Trump from the coming
the next president in the final hour, at the last minute,
in whatever way they attempt to do it, according to
the Hill or anyone else, how they could try to
do it, it would fulfill another of those conspiracy theories that
people think and also things that they yell and scream

(56:15):
about when Democrats hear that, Republicans say, you know, this
is something you might do.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
How dare you, sir?

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Say those things right up until they really want to
do it. But here's Raskin again talking about this idea
that has been resurrected today by the Hill.

Speaker 13 (56:30):
What can be put into the Constitution can slip away
from you very quickly. And the greatest example going on
right now before our very eyes is section three of
the fourteenth Amendment, which they're just disappearing with the magic
wand as if it doesn't exist, even though it could
not be clearer what it's stating, and so you know,
they want to kick it to Congress. So it's going
to be up to us on January sixth, twenty twenty

(56:53):
five to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he's disqualified
and then we need guards for everybody.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
And so here I got to stop it right there.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
So the felony conviction is part of the reason that
they're trying to say that Trump is disqualified, which is
amazing for a variety of reasons, the first one being
Trump getting into office after that happening to him just
one case, just thirty something charges for the same crime,
all of which is almost always a misdemeanor, but in
the case of Trump, for some reason, was inflated to

(57:25):
a felony and then found guilty in a courtroom in
New York, although it's likely to be overturned if it
actually doesn't just get fully thrown out at some point.
But that would disqualify him from being the president, according
to Rascin, and according to The Hill, and that they
would essentially prevent him from taking power, which would cause
a lot of people to go well insane. This wouldn't

(57:46):
be a good thing for our country. It would be
horrendous thing for a country, especially since so many Americans
voice their opinion and saying how little they thought of
that case or any of the cases against Trump to
begin with, based on still electing him into office after
they happened. But this is a real thing. It's out
there as of six hours ago. It's an opinion piece

(58:07):
in the Hill, and I don't know, you know, what
it really says to me. And it's something that a
lot of people on the left would put their noses
up and you know, be mad about. If someone on
the right said, you know, I don't think the twenty
twenty election was entirely fair, or whatever version of that
you might say, the people on the left would say
in response to you, Wow, you're such a sore loser.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Wow, get over it. Get over whatever it is that you're.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Upset about that you think was a problem that caused
the election not to be one or at least in general,
a tremendously higher amount of people to turn out than
turned out this past election, Which is weird, isn't it
that all of a sudden you have numbers similar to
what we've seen in the past, as opposed to the
one election in twenty twenty where a whole bunch of
mail in ballots made the turnout ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
That's just strange, that's just but none in the law.
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
I don't want to have that argument in any or
dive any deeper there. I just want to say that
it's amazing that these same individual lves would also advocate
for preventing Trump from becoming the president when he was
elected by the people and even won the popular vote
the most you know, significant thing. I don't know if
significant is the right word, but they think it is
that conservative that excuse me. Democrats try to do to

(59:15):
conservatives is complain that they don't win the popular vote
when they win the presidential election.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
But Trump won it.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
He got the most votes out of anybody, even though
they say he didn't win the popular vote because he
didn't get fifty percent of the votes depending on who
you ask, if it's fifty or if it's just under it,
which is so stupid.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Some of those arguments are so dumb.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
But this is uniquely you know, risky to me or
stupid to me for a variety of reasons, because you
just don't care about being a hypocrite. Truthfully, there's no
way you can say this stuff and just even remotely
care about if people see you as just full of
crap when your side doesn't win a thing. And actually
there's another example of that. This is a talking head

(59:53):
on CNN, her name is April Ryan saying that you know,
Biden is protecting the the checks and balances system that
was created by our founding fathers by trying to preemptively
stop Trump from doing certain things or whatever that might be,
even though that's very far from checks and balances, because,
as she states, Trump is going to have Congress with him.

(01:00:15):
He's going to have the House and the Senate aligned
with him as far as you know, the R in
front of all their names, which means they're likely to
work well together. And so Biden has to do as
much prevent defense as he can, which isn't the checks
and balances system that she's actually advocating for. That would
be if the legislative and executive branch didn't agree on stuff,

(01:00:36):
which uh oh, she seems to admit they're going to
in just a month or so.

Speaker 14 (01:00:41):
The president, this President Joe Biden did not want to
give President to let Donald Trump a chance to add
more conservativism into our course, bottom line. I mean, you
have so many people talking about how everything is weighed
down right now, the White House on January twenty at
noon will be Republicans. The House, at the Senate what Republican,

(01:01:04):
and the Supreme Court leans Republican. So this Gerson wanted
to ensure checks and balances. He is that standard bearer
from what the founding fathers put in place. He wants
checks balances if he wants to make sure everything goes well.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
No, he doesn't want checks and balances because if all
three branches of the government are likely to work well
together on something, and it's not something where Trump forced
people to vote certain individuals into power in the House
or in the Senate. And I know Trump got I
guess lucky, if that's what you want to call it,
in the amount of appointments he got to make to
the Supreme Court. But I will till I'm blue in

(01:01:39):
the face actually tell people that the Supreme Court makes
a lot of left leaning decisions that you'd be surprised
they make because those don't make the news. Yes, they
make right leaning decisions too, Yes, some of those get
heavily talked about. But there have been several decisions by
this Supreme Court. Just look them up for yourself. That
wind up aligned with democratic ways of thinking and not

(01:01:59):
conserve ways of thinkings. Conservatives have lost arguments. It's not
like it's a rubber stamp version of a part of
our system and it gets acted like it is. The
judicial system is definitely not one that is heavily controlled
by just conservative mindsets, even if it has more conservatives
than liberals on it, although they're not exactly anyway, I digress.

(01:02:22):
What I think is crazy about that is to call
this checks and balances. It's the same thing as when
Biden said he would not pardon his son Hunter Biden
for crimes that he was found guilty of felonies as
well by the way that he was found guilty of.
Joe said he wouldn't do it, he wouldn't do it,
and people praised him for being presidential and understanding that

(01:02:44):
you're supposed to be above the needs of your family, etc.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
Etc. And then he did it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
And then he went ahead and he's like, yeah, I
pardon him anyway, and I pardoned him all the way
back to twenty fourteen for crimes he has or hasn't
been accused of.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
Which was sort of nuts.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
It also made you thing like, hey, what else did
Hunter Biden do that you're aware of that some of
us aren't as aware of yet, that you're trying to
protect him from also getting in trouble for that's insane,
But nonetheless, like these kind of things, they just happen
all the time, and so it's amazing to desire so
badly to think that you're the good guys, which I
think happens not just for politicians but more for voters

(01:03:23):
on a certain side of the political aisle, that you
will listen to anything and you will believe anything as
long as part of the argument is and we're doing
this because we're the good guys, regardless of how much
it makes us absolutely seem like the bad guys to
everybody but us. And it doesn't matter. We're the good people.
We're doing things for the right reasons. Everyone look away.
Another story out there that's been a big deal that

(01:03:46):
a boxer h the one in the Olympics who got
a whole lot of discussions about her because she had
male chromosomes in her body, essentially a lot of people
calling her dude. I'm not going that far not to
try to be woke or anything like that. As far
as I understand the story at this point, all this
time later, is she was born both male and female,

(01:04:08):
and I don't really know how to understand that situation.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
More.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
If she has a biological advantage, which it sounds like
she did, she probably shouldn't be boxing in women's athletics,
as no one who has a biological advantage should be
allowed to compete. But it's uniquely different than some of
the discussions we talk about as woke as it sounds
to say if you were born both, I don't know
how to say that different, and I'd rather not talk
about it any longer than.

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
I already have.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
But making her the number three female athlete of the
year seems ridiculous, and that's what the AP did. They
voted her the third most important female athlete. If you
were a female athlete that didn't have a biological advantage
tied to you because you're actually fully female, then you're
not going to be so thrilled that someone who would

(01:04:54):
not fall under that same category just beat you out
as a better female athlete than you. It's the same
discussion you have all the time. You can make this simple.
You don't have to make this sound like it's a
thing where even though I'm accused of being hateful, hates
actually involved. It's just matter of fact. I don't want
my baseball players taking steroids because I think it creates

(01:05:15):
an unfair advantage for the people who are on steroids
because they have a medical, a biological, or whatever you
want to call it. You know, a thing that they're
putting in their body that's making them more capable than
people who aren't doing that. The same is true in
these cases, even in the case of this woman, this
boxer who went viral during the Olympics because she was
disqualified from a previous event for having male chromosomes.

Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
Now, again, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Going as far as to call her a dude, because
I guess she was raised her entire life as a girl,
because again, when you're born with both, I guess somehow
that decision is made somewhere. But she's certainly someone who
deserves to have the discussion about whether or not a
biological advantage precludes her from the ability to compete in
a sport where she's beating the of other people. And

(01:06:01):
even more than that, you know, getting named Athlete of
the year or one of the athletes of the year
seems like a slap in the face to a whole
lot of other people. You can say that all of
that and not be hateful. I know, shocking, and I
know some people think I was just weak and overly
woke and what I said there, Hey, I can't help it. Man,
if you're raised your entire life as a woman, some

(01:06:22):
part of me actually respects the idea of calling that
person a woman, even if I can stay out loud.
They also potentially have chromosomes that make it unfair for
them to fight in a fight against a fully biological woman.
All right, quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling in.
This is the Dana Show.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man. That's right, It's time for Florida man
on the Dana Show.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in a Dana is
back after the holidays. First, this is I guess a
Florida people a more than just one Florida man. A
guy named Sam who's twenty two years old, went viral
on the Internet. He went to Reddit specifically to complain
he's actually the manager at a frozen yogurt stand in Florida,
where he said multiple employees who were gen Z much younger,

(01:07:15):
say fifteen sixteen years old, had marked bills fake that
were not fake ten dollars five dollars bills, things that
were older than, say, the late nineties, so they look
different than the bills of today, but were definitely real
actual currency. They even wrote things on them in black
sharpie like fake, do not accept, fake, reject, etc.

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
Etc.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
And the guy is really upset. He's like, why do
they not know that these are regular bills? I know
this is Florida's story, but this probably happens other places too.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
Not a great look.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
Figure out what a bill looks like from pre nineteen
ninety nine before you reject it and write all over
it because people were trying to pay with actual money
and had it confiscated, which probably made people go nuts.
But then eventually the guy steps in and fixes it.
That's one Florida story. Another one involves a gym teacher
in Florida in Schefner. This guy was arrested after he

(01:08:10):
shoved a student to the ground. The reason the gym
teacher did it and he shoved a twelve year old
He said was that he had.

Speaker 1 (01:08:16):
A dodgeball thrown at him.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
Apparently the kid did it by mistake, or even if
the guy did it on purpose, the twelve year old child,
it's a ball. You'll be fine as a teacher, and
I can't believe this would be the first time this
has ever happened. But the guy got mad and in
response to that, shoved the kid that his child abuse
and you go to a jail for that, And now,
granted pushing a kid down, if it's the only time

(01:08:39):
you've ever done anything remotely bad as a gym teacher,
it does feel like the kind of thing that maybe
some leniency could be found in the court system itself.
If you're the parents of the kid, I don't know
if you feel that way, because he got shoved to
the ground, could have gotten.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
Hurt, didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
But all of this being over a thrown ball is
one of the more hilarious and dumb things I've heard
in the world. The teacher's name is John Steele. I
lost his cool and obviously probably shouldn't be a gym teacher.
If you can't be hit with stuff during gym class.
That feels like a prerequisit of the situation. And then
one last Florida guy story, this one out of Indian

(01:09:14):
River County in Florida. First, a guy got arrested for
being just a piece of crap. He got arrested on
a domestic violence phone call in which it seemed that
the woman actually was injured. So the guy's just a
piece of crap. That part's not funny or amusing. It's
just a reality. But as they're hauling this forty two
year old dude off to jail, they have to do

(01:09:35):
a search of his body at some point to see
if he's got anything he shouldn't have before he gets
checked into the night or hopefully a while into prison.
And apparently, and this is a quote, he had cigarettes
hidden between his genitalia. I can't clean that up for radio.
That's the way I gotta say it. I don't know
what that means, and I don't want to know what
that means. I know what I think between could mean,

(01:09:58):
but the fact that they were less specific the other
part makes me curious as to where it was going
or what was being hidden. When asked why he took
that something that was not allowed in the jail with
him on his person the way he did. He said
he wanted to smoke him when he got to jail
because he wanted to, you know, think about what he'd done,
which does not make it any more allowed. If you're

(01:10:19):
trying to say that these are cigarettes, I'm going to
smoke to reflect on the decision making I've made in life.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
So that's why I hid them. Their officer. It doesn't
wind up being less illegal. This is still very illegal.

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
He added another charge to the crimes against him for
trying to smuggle contraband into a facility.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
But that is something.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
And the fact that the cops said they just got
a sense that something was off with this guy. I
don't know if it was the way he was like walking,
depending on again on where things were hidden, or the
decision making beyond it. And the guy is uniquely a
piece of crap for hitting a woman, but nonetheless or
at least accused of hitting a woman, I should say,
although they found the woman with visible reasons to think

(01:10:59):
that this was going on, but nonetheless beyond that too.

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
It's just the fact that you thought you were going
to get away with this. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
I don't why you thought this was something that they
wouldn't be able to figure out at some point down
the road, and luckily they did.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
And it just adds to the issues for this Florida man.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
And also I do wonder about one thing, like when
you hid this the place that it was hidden, because
it sounds like the cops were there for a decent
amount of time and you were being talked to and
then arrested, so it had to be hidden before they
showed up, which adds a whole bunch of layers of
questions to this conversation that I don't want answers to.
I don't want to know why somebody would just assume, Hey,

(01:11:36):
I'm probably going to jail later today, might as well
hide these things in this spot just in case, because
I would like to have them if I am in
prison later. A unique piece of crap there for a
variety of reasons. Also thinks he's part of a mafia
that doesn't exist, but I'll get to that some other day.
Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. This is
the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in.

(01:11:57):
Thrilled to be with you, Dana. Back just after the holidays,
d lash or Dana Lash Radio great ways to stay
connected to her.

Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
Someone.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
Actually, this is the Daily Caller did a deep dive
into the biggest lies that Korinn Jean Pierre told during
her time as the White House Press Secretary. Lots and
lots of fibbs and incorrect information shared by this White
House Press Secretary, even though she told the press that
she would tell in the truth. That was the big
thing that was going to change between her and people

(01:12:27):
who had that role when Donald Trump was last in office.
A terrible, horrible person that is Donald Trump. According to
a whole lot of people on the left, several lies
are pretty interesting. Of course, Saying that Joe Biden was
the candidate and not going to drop out of the
race is one of many that wound up being untrue.
One of my favorite ones that was listed here was

(01:12:48):
when a neurologist had visited the White House and Karin
John Pierre tried to say with a straight face to
the American Press that it had nothing to do with
any concerns about mental health for Biden or dementia claims
or any of that stuff. It was just it's, you know, uh, normal,
is the kind of thing that happens all the time.
It was pre planned, wasn't We didn't even really need

(01:13:08):
to do it. We just kind of did it. That
was amazing. That was not true. But then the best
one and the one that most people are citing as
the most egregious lie. Although to be honest, she was
told this so many times by the President, who would
say it is well out loud that she was just
kind of echoing a message that she was somewhat convinced
would actually wind up being true. However dumb that was

(01:13:30):
to believe this, But she said several times that Biden
would not pardon Hunter.

Speaker 10 (01:13:34):
But from a presidential perspective, is there any possibility that
the president would end up pardoning his son?

Speaker 9 (01:13:40):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:13:42):
I just said no.

Speaker 8 (01:13:43):
I just answered the president.

Speaker 6 (01:13:45):
Would not pardon or community sens for his son Hunter.

Speaker 8 (01:13:49):
I want to make sure.

Speaker 6 (01:13:50):
That that is not going to show in the next
six months.

Speaker 7 (01:13:52):
The President's say.

Speaker 8 (01:13:54):
It's still it's still always it's still an It will
be a no.

Speaker 10 (01:13:59):
It is a no, And I don't have anything else
to add.

Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
Except it's a yes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
Except that's what you want to add later on after
this happened, that goes on, there's like a two minute
video viral online right now resurfacing of all the time
she said no to that one, but just one of
several lies that was told by this White House Press secretary.

Speaker 1 (01:14:18):
And not even done well.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
The real knock on crying John Pierre, And I know
people get mad if you call her a DEI hire.
Even though the Biden administration, for anyone they put in
any position that was a minority or anything else, the
Biden administration told us about it. They said, look at
this person who's breaking this barrier and one of the
reasons we put them into this position. You can't ask

(01:14:41):
for credit for doing something a certain way and then
claim that's not the reason you did it. You can't
say no, she fully deserves the job, but also we
gave her the job because of this, because that kind
of shoots the first statement in the face. More than
any think what corin John Pierre was really bad at
that even Jensaki was better at, was lying convincingly or

(01:15:02):
lying in a way that made some amount of sense,
or dodging questions in a cyclical statement of word vomity,
stuff that at least you thought might have answered the question.
It was too transparent. Too often when Korin John Pierre
was lying, or when Karin John Pierre was struggling to
answer her question, and her favorite thing to say in

(01:15:23):
most press conferences was I've got nothing for you on that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
I'll have to get back to you. You have to
check with somebody else about that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Sort of thing, which really doesn't give you any sort
of confidence that any of the information you're being given
as well a valuable, important, or even accurate. That was
a constant complaint as well of this White House Press
secretary who stayed in the position far longer than people
thought she should have stayed in that position. But the
biggest reason why she was there was probably the other

(01:15:50):
thing that we're not supposed to talk about, the dei
higher part, which also made her harder to fire. I imagine,
if you want the political win for your side of
the aisle, however a weak or wrong it is of
putting someone in a position that you're happy to be
there for reasons other than their job performance. It's also
hard to fire them when the job performance is not
living up to whatever expectation you had. All Right, are

(01:16:13):
there something else I want to play? I kind of
contemplated not playing this audio today. But I do want
to rip it apart as just a tremendously dumb and
so for that reason, I guess we're going to play
it a joy read of the failing MSNBC. Its ratings
are in the tank, as most reporting is saying, and
Elon Musk is at least jokingly contemplating buying it, which

(01:16:34):
would be hilarious if that happened. I can't help laugh
when I say that. But Joy Reid is throwing out
a new theory. First, people on the left were trying
to get under Trump's skin by claiming that Elon Musk
is really the president and that he's not calling him
President Musk and whatnot, so much so that Trump did
respond to it in a statement over the holiday, saying

(01:16:56):
out loud that Elon can't be the president because he
wasn't born this country. So maybe that ends part of
that discussion.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
Maybe not.

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
Elon also tweeted out that anyone trying to bridge a
gap between him and the president or a president elect
will fail, because that's the whole reason for that rhetoric,
is just to try to create some sort of distance
between the world's richest man and the owner of one
of the most influential social media platforms in society, and
the guy who will be the world's most powerful man,

(01:17:25):
or at least if you're not Joe Biden, you wind
up being powerful because you lead the United States of America.
So there will be a lot of interesting intersection between
those individuals. But Joy Reid wants to go a step
further and accuse Trump and Elon of listening to somebody else,
somebody who's definitely not a person that we would want
in charge of our country. Here's her conspiracy theory.

Speaker 15 (01:17:46):
An interesting development that may have changed the calculation a
little bit today that we've found out that Trump would
be strong man is in a sense answerable to a
bigger strong man, not Vladimir Putin Elon Mutt, who also allegedly,
at least according to reports, has lots of conversations with Putin.
What does that do to the calculation on how Americans

(01:18:07):
should deal with Trump?

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
Nothing? First, I want to aswer the question myself. Nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
She goes on to say that she thinks Elon Musk
secretly is having conversations with Vaidimir Putin that shapes what
Elon Musk thinks about stuff, meaning Putin is pulling Elon strings,
and then Elon is pulling Trump strings. It's so stupid,
it's so dumb. The biggest reason why it's dumb is
no one who's even remotely familiar with Donald Trump the

(01:18:36):
person thinks he can be manipulated by anyone a case
in point, and Joy Reid would be thrilled to talk
about this, which makes me not all that thrilled to
bring it up. But is the twenty twenty election. The
biggest defense Trump was going to use in any courtroom
anywhere in the world to why he did any of
the things he did if they were going to claim
they were illegal, is that he believes the twenty twenty

(01:18:57):
election was stolen. He still believes that right now, and
even if people told him it wasn't, he didn't care
because he thought that what he was seeing was different
than what they're seeing.

Speaker 4 (01:19:07):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
I'm not trying to reltigate that discussion with you. I
don't care to anymore. Trump's back in office in twenty
twenty four, and if there's proof of certain things that
we haven't seen before, I very much hope that Trump
demonstrates that proof and releases that proof. But nonetheless, what
I think is amazing. And Elon Musk is the same way.
By the way, he feels like a fairly confident person.

(01:19:28):
So it's amazing to think that anyone, Vladimir Putin or
anyone else could just willingly control these guys to the
degree that they do, or just you know, trick them
into following their advice all the time. There is one caveat,
I'll say to this. I'm sure it's backing up joy
Read's statement, or at least what she thinks is true.

(01:19:49):
Trump has made jokes about wanting to buy Greenland, and
apparently media in Russia, state media said it was a
great idea. They threw their support behind Trump owning green
l And or the United States owning Greenland through a
deal with Trump. Now what's interesting about that too, is
that there would be another president at some point to
come along that you would assume Putin would get along

(01:20:10):
with way less than he gets along with Trump, and
we would still own Greenland if we got to purchase
it will Trump was in office. So it is interesting
for whatever reason, Russia would support that and believe that
maybe they can make better deals with US than with
anyone else.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
As far as you know, the resources that exist there.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
But it's just fascinating to me because anything like that
might back its way into being well, this means that
this is what Putin wants all along, even though a
whole bunch of people would say it would benefit the
United States for us to own Greenland or to own
other places. Not that I think it's going to happen.
Greenland does not for sale, but nonetheless, it's just amusing
and sort of amazing to me that these kind of

(01:20:47):
conversations happen, and that people like joy Reid can float
insane conspiracy theories and not be called out for them,
and then the minute that a conspiracy theory exists, on
the other side can attack it as though it's the
most insane thing they've ever heard, as if that actually
makes sense the whole Like, you know, you can't scream
fire in a movie theater, even though you actually can.

(01:21:09):
That's a misunderstanding of how that actually works. And she
seems to be screaming it on the daily, but then
also yelling at anyone else that she accuses of screaming
a fire in a movie theater. All right, I want
to play this audio too, just because I mentioned Greenland
and I find it interesting. Scott Jennings, a guy on
CNN who says a lot of stuff that the rest
of CNN hates him for saying, said that he'd love

(01:21:31):
it if Trump took over Greenland bought it from Denmark,
because it'd be great for us.

Speaker 3 (01:21:35):
Yes, we need Greenland. Greenland is an amazing thing to have.
It's like you ever play Monopoly, you know, like the
first row of properties, like the O they're cheap. Maybe
I don't know you need those, those are vital properties.
I am for Greenland. I wanted him to do it before.
I want him to do it now. And I am
personally and on television applying to be the military governor
of Greenland if in fact we do take control of it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
This yeah, I don't think that's gonna work out, By
the way, I don't know if I would equate it
to like the cheapest properties in Monopoly, is going to
cost us like one point seven trillion dollars out of
buying Greenland, even if it is cheap compared to other places, territories,
parts of the world. If Denmark actually put it up
for sale, it still feels really expensive. So I think
I would equate that more to the boardwalks and park

(01:22:18):
places of the world than anything else, just because the
number is too high for me to consider it one
of those purple ones at the beginning.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
But anyway, Scott Jennings offering.

Speaker 2 (01:22:29):
To have his services died deeply to Greenland if so desired,
and again even Russia on board with that plan, which
are possibly or probably convinces Joy Reid that that's what's
going on. It's all a dirty plan and Putin's actually
in charge. Four more years of Russia Russia Russia would
be incredibly annoying, but it's probably likely to happen, and

(01:22:49):
we'll see how many of those desperate moves are made
by the side that is so so upset that someone's
about to take power at about a month, right, quick break,
a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

Speaker 8 (01:23:19):
And now all of the news you would probably miss
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
That's right first, apparently according to at least one quote
unquote experts, although I'm not sure this guy's an expert
at anything. If you want to make New Year's resolutions
that work, turn them into a goal bingo board this
holiday season, meaning you put all the goals up on
a board, and every time you get a bingo by
putting a row or something in there, you get some

(01:23:45):
sort of prize.

Speaker 1 (01:23:46):
That you give yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
I think you could just award yourself without the bingo
concept if you need a prize to do stuff. But
the New Year's resolution bingo board is an idea that's
out there. I think ABC News reported on it in
the morning with one of their more on experts who
said this would work somehow better than something else. Another
story that I love a lot, granted a little bit
older from December is about a sweep free encampment that

(01:24:11):
popped up near City Hall in San Francisco. This was
billed as a place that the police had promised not
to sweep, not to essentially remove people from. Two days
after it popped up, police swept it and removed everybody
from the area. The thing that organizers did not tell
anyone is that they kind of hoped that sweeps free
would be a thing they could just say that the

(01:24:32):
police would follow, and not something that they'd actually agreed
upon what the police about. That does not work if
you just advertise a location as something, Hey, they're going
to leave us alone here. They don't actually listen to
you as if you make the rules and they don't.
A fisherman hooked a woman that was drowning. He actually
tried to cast his fishing rod on purpose. He didn't

(01:24:53):
catch her with the hook like in the body. It
actually stuck to her jeans pants and he was able
to reel her into safety. This is a real story
that happened. I think it happened in South Africa. When
the woman got to waste deep water, other fishermen jumped
out of their boats and helped her get out. This
guy missed an opportunity. He should have taken a photo
with the lady holding whatever version he could of the

(01:25:16):
string the fishing line that attached her to his fishing rod,
because that's the best catch he'll ever have in his
entire life.

Speaker 1 (01:25:24):
He literally caught a woman. I don't know if she's single.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
I don't know what's going on between the two of
them now, but he saved her life. She was drowning
and authorities weren't able to respond quick enough.

Speaker 1 (01:25:33):
The dude reeled her in.

Speaker 2 (01:25:35):
By the way, if I was ever saved by a
guy that was fishing, I would never tell anyone. That
would be the kind of secret that would die with
me because of the amount of embarrassment I would feel
for being reeled to safety.

Speaker 1 (01:25:46):
But darn it, if you're dying, you don't care, and
I'm sure she didn't care, and she might have posed
for the photo.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
So again, the biggest miss on the Internet is that
we don't have that photo with the two of them
standing next together and him holding her up like he
caught her, because darn it, he did all right other
things out there. A living no stra damis a dude
from Brazil who apparently claims to have predicted COVID nineteen,
the death of the Queen of England, the Russian invasion
of Ukraine, and other stuff. Has made his predictions for

(01:26:13):
twenty twenty five. Three of them have made the news.
He thinks that humans will get genetically modified to be
resistant from diseases that will happen this year. That sounds interesting.
He also thinks the robot uprising will happen, artificial intelligence
will be out of control, and the digital apocalypses upon
us all this year. Oh and then also aliens we're

(01:26:34):
going to make contact. So a lot of things happening
according to the nostradamus who made other predictions for twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:26:41):
I feel like he's the kind.

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
Of guy that says a lot of really crazy stuff
and then if one of them works out, says that's
the only thing he predicted. But he's pretty much thrown
everything at the wall with those three predictions. If they
all happen, darn it, I'll be thrilled the Trump's president
for that stuff, because I did say, my biggest disappointment
if we had contacted aliens during the last four years
is how terrible the a press conference Biden would have done,

(01:27:04):
But how glorious it would be with Trump if he's
standing next to an alien, depending on how the alien
feels about him.

Speaker 1 (01:27:09):
I feel like I could go anyway we want it
to go at all.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
And then one last one that I guess I'll get
to a little bit later on schools in places like Poland,
or convincing teachers to be ready for fights by giving
them gun training doesn't seem so bad. It seems to
be working there. More on that in a bit. Creig
Collin's filling in on The Dana Show.

Speaker 7 (01:27:28):
Keep your finger on the pulse with a Dana Show podcast,
delivering timely news with insightful analysis whenever you want, straight
to you on YouTube, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Bunch of stuff
to talk about. There is some debate online about a
story that happened in Houston, Texas, just about a day
or so ago. So a group of kids is the
way they're being referred to by mainstream media, although even
though they're ages twelve to four teen, they were holding

(01:28:01):
guns and robbing people at gunpoint. But these group of
individuals walked up to a man and attempted to rob
him at gunpoint. He happened to be a gun owner
himself and defended himself by shooting three of the people
that were threatening to kill him. Now, granted, since the
ages of the kids, again, how they're being referred to
media is twelve to fourteen. A big fallout portion of

(01:28:24):
this conversation, even if the man acted legally in defending
himself when he was standing there with people pointing guns
at him, is because one of the people is in
critical condition. But the discussion becomes like, did this man
do something wrong because the age of the victims or
the age of the people who were the criminals in

(01:28:45):
the case, has become at the forefront of the discussion.
I'll play some audio of at first, then I'll react
to it. But I do think that there's something sort
of insane about the way this discussion is going.

Speaker 1 (01:28:57):
Where you.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Have to who have won variable in order to even
get to the place that a lot of people are
getting to.

Speaker 1 (01:29:04):
But here we go.

Speaker 10 (01:29:05):
Amy In the course of the investigation, deputies learned those
kids were just between the ages of twelve and fourteen
years old and they tried robbing a man with a gun.
Deputy say at least three of those kids were shot.
One of them is still in critical condition.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
By the way, there were multiple guns recovered at the scene,
not just the one used by the man defending himself,
So multiple of these twelve to fourteen year old people
was holding a gun when they came up to rob.

Speaker 10 (01:29:32):
At last check, when Harris County sheriff deputies showed up here,
they found one of the kids with several gunshot wounds.
He was taken to a nearby trauma center in critical condition,
as I just mentioned, and as paramedics were attending to him,
two other kids were found with gunshot wounds. Both were
taken to the hospital and are stable. Shortly after that,
the suspected shooter, who deputies believed the teens were trying

(01:29:53):
to rob, returned to the scene and turned himself in.

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
And by the way, they then cut to audio of
a neighbor. And this is what's really interesting about this story.
It is Texas. It is a place where you might
assume that people are more likely to have a gun,
and say other parts of the country where it's harder
to have a weapon to defend yourself legally. Those who
do it illegally never care about the laws. And of
course twelve to fourteen not allowed to have a guns,

(01:30:18):
but they do.

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
But here we go.

Speaker 11 (01:30:20):
I heard some gunshots sound like they were basically at
my front door. I mean, of course, as you can
see from behind me, they were down the whales with
did it be Frank and uns with you? I grabbed
my gun, which is in a holster, and walked outside
to see what was going on.

Speaker 12 (01:30:35):
And it's believed the center and kurt due to an
attempted aggravated robbery.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
Yeah, I'll stop it right there. First, I'm not surprised
that more people are holding guns. The other guy's like, well,
I grab my gun to protect myself. Second, this is
uniquely sad. I'm not going to pretend it's not. But
we've seen a lot of stories out there where younger
and younger people are committing crimes like this. Twelve to
fourteen years old is not as abnormal as used to be,

(01:31:01):
especially when it comes to like, you know, stealing cars,
joy riding in them and causing all kinds of damage
and potentially putting people's lives at risk. You're seeing lots
of stories of younger people doing that, but you are
seeing violent crime, a gun related crime, and even shootings
between people in those age groups too.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
So what do you do.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
I'm a lawful gun owner, proud to be a gun owner,
and someone that's learned how to shoot over the last
couple of years. And if you're holding a weapon to
defend yourself in case someone you know threatens you, and
three or four people walk up. I'm not sure exactly
what they look like because the individuals haven't really been
shown on any sort of camera that I've seen, so

(01:31:40):
I don't know if they look their age or if
they look older. I don't know if that's something that
runs through your mind when you're thinking, is this person
going to fire on me even though they're threatening to
I don't know at what point it would be justified
in the average everyday american's mind for an individual to
think that they were in harm's way. But I would
think that it's justified because someone's pointing a gun at me.

(01:32:02):
And one of the first things you do learn if
you are someone that takes any level of like gun class.
I'm not talking about like you know, cops or military
and the level of training they get, but just regular
every day training. And one of the things that you're
told is if you point a gun at someone, you
should be willing to fire it. So don't point a
gun at anyone that you're not willing to fire upon.

(01:32:23):
Is part of the reason that you never point a
gun at anybody in your day to day life, even
if you think it's not loaded or something like all
of those things. So if people are pointing a gun
at me, I would assume they're willing to fire, and
if I have a way to defend myself, I would
think that it was my right and it is my
right to do it. So this conversation is causing a
whole lot of fallout and other discussions, and I doubt

(01:32:47):
that there will actually be any charges against the man,
but some demand for.

Speaker 1 (01:32:51):
That simply because of the age of the individuals.

Speaker 2 (01:32:53):
And you can't change other people's behavior, no matter how
much you want to. What I mean by that is
just because these people are twelve to fourteen, and you
might know somebody that's also in that group that you
couldn't even imagine being in a situation where they'd threaten
harm with a gun on someone else. It doesn't mean
you can add those attributes to these individuals who.

Speaker 1 (01:33:14):
Made this choice.

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
They acted like adults, whether they are the age of
adults or not, in the crime they chose to commit.
And the way in which the response to the crime
happened is one that again and I don't mean this,
you know, trying to be judgmental or whatever you'd say
it is.

Speaker 1 (01:33:29):
But but Texas is a.

Speaker 2 (01:33:31):
Place where more people are likely to defend themselves this way,
and that I think is actually a good thing, and
it would be a deterrent to people doing this to
begin with, although it wasn't a deterrent for these young men.
But three out of four individuals were shot, one in
critical condition last I saw. I'm not sure if still
in critical condition now. But a big story and one
that a lot of you know, regular everyday people are

(01:33:53):
reacting to you online with different takes. All right, there's
another story out there that's fairly big. I'm not trying
to do this story woke. I have no reason to
be afraid of saying it differently. I just truly believe
this to be the case. So I'm going to refer
to it the way that I think it deserves to
be referred to. As far as the individual in this story.
So there is a woman who was a boxer that

(01:34:14):
made a whole lot of news as part of the
Olympics because she's got male chromosomes. The way that that happened,
as far as I understand, and the reason I call
her her is because she was born with both. She
was born away that very few people are ever born
and then raised as a girl, So I will refer
to this individual as a woman. However, I will admit easily,

(01:34:35):
as anyone should, that you have a biological advantage in
boxing against women if you have male chromosomes in your body,
which is a thing that she has. So anyway, she
was named the AP third place female Athlete of the Year.
She didn't get first or second, thank god, like when
Caitlyn Jenner I think, won Female of the Year a while.

Speaker 1 (01:34:55):
Back, which was odd.

Speaker 2 (01:34:56):
But she got the third most significant female athlete. And
that's got to make people mad who I don't know
don't have male chromosomes in their body and feel like,
how did I lose to this person? But anyway, that
was almost like a Seinfeld moment. I was trying not
to well, he would never joke about that, but the
sound of it. But nonetheless, what I don't understand about this,
what I don't get about this, is how we can't

(01:35:17):
have that conversation. You know, in that way, and you
can say it whatever way you want. You can call
her a man, if that's your prerogative. I don't really care.
I'm not telling you not to do stuff, But what
I am saying is that if you're sitting in front
of people and trying to explain to them why you
think something is unfair, and all you have to say
is there's a biological reason that someone can't compete with

(01:35:40):
somebody else, that should be enough to win the argument
that this is unfair.

Speaker 1 (01:35:45):
It's the same thing.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
I've equated it before and I'll do it again to
taking steroids in baseball, which I'm very against and I
love baseball. People who took them had had an advantage medicinal,
I don't know as biological, but yeah, over people that
weren't taking them, you got big or stronger, recovered faster,
all that stuff. Those are some of the caveats of
this discussion. It just can't be had in our society

(01:36:06):
without a whole bunch of people yelling like racist, sexist, homophobic,
whatever you want to yell, and then other people give
awards to individuals that again, if I was the father
of a female athlete, or if I was a female athlete,
which is a weird sentence to say, I'm not, I
can't be I got male chromosomes. But nonetheless, if I
was I would be very upset that she won third

(01:36:27):
and not me because I'm without the male chromosomes that
she has. But that was a big story that's out there,
that's all over.

Speaker 1 (01:36:34):
It just seems stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:36:35):
Honestly, it seems like it's a way for us to
argue and create more controversy, anyway to have those discussions
when they don't need to be had, and to you know,
try to fight each other over stuff that isn't terribly
important to most of the people who have the loudest voices. Again,
if you're actually an athlete or the parent of an athlete,
you have a reason to be in on this fight.

(01:36:57):
If you're everybody else, I don't really know what the
point is to be yelling and screaming about it. I'm
not telling you to shut up, and I'm sharing my opinion,
and I didn't fall into those categories. But nonetheless, I
just I don't get part of how these topics wind
up dominating what a lot of people talk about. Like,
you could sit down at Christmas dinner or Thanksgiving dinner
earlier this year, or be around people for New Year's Eve,

(01:37:20):
this story could come up. You'd want to say a
tremendously rational thing. And I don't really think it's fair
if there's a biological advantage for one person and not
the other, and people would just attack you, they'd go cray.
How dare you say those things out loud that are
true as statements and not at all inaccurate as statements?
How dare you say them because they mean something else?

(01:37:40):
I think that's the problem. And I've complained about this
before a lot of times. In these discussions, people want
to add some words that you may or may not
even be saying because they want what you say to
mean something worse than just being simple matter of fact.
Men and women are different. Is a simple statement of fact.
It's not anything other than that. All right, quick break,

A little bit more coming up. Craig Collins filling in

Speaker 2 (01:38:18):
This is the Danish Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in a thrilled to be with you. A bunch
of stuff to talk about and very little time left
to do it. I do love this story as far
as stuff I left on the cunning room floor until now,
or at least I think I did. A kid wrote
an angry letter to her parents after she found out
something about Christmas that she thought was true was in
fact a lie.

Speaker 1 (01:38:39):
Someone that's not real. So she went to the parents.

Speaker 2 (01:38:41):
She asked a question after a little boy in school
told her some things, and when they admitted to her
the yes, that's not in fact real, that this is
a lie, she said, I need to collect myself. I
need to take some time in her father's den and
write a letter. And so she wrote a message to
her parents, calling them back stabbers, liars and saying that

(01:39:02):
she'll never trust them again. It's actually kind of adorably sad.
She said her heart was broken to learn the truth,
but also that she now knows that people would lie
to her for as much as eight years her entire
life before she finds out the truth. She was very upset,
to say the very least. The parents are amused by it.
The kid will eventually get over it, of course, and
at some point it'll probably be used. I think the

(01:39:24):
parents even responded to a social media reaction to the
story by saying that they are going to frame it
and roll it out at the wedding to show how
passionate their young child is about a lot of things,
including the truth. But it reminded me of something else
that's gone viral on social media, just because I think
this little kid would love this audio. Kamala Harris back
in twenty seventeen got mad at the idea of people

(01:39:46):
saying Merry Christmas, and this audio went viral this year
on TikTok, with people laughing at the fact that she
almost became our president and that she had some hot
takes and a whole lot of things when she was
a senator out of California. But this is the all
You can find it all over TikTok, all over social media,
of people even pretending to say it themselves or laughing
and reacting to it. And this little eight year old

(01:40:08):
girl definitely needs her version of the video up where
the letter gets posted and you hear this.

Speaker 1 (01:40:12):
And when we all sing happy tunes and sing Merry
Christmas and wish each other Merry Christmas, these children are
not going to have them Merry Christmas. No, she's not
the eight year old how dare we speak Mary Christmas?

Speaker 14 (01:40:25):
How dare we?

Speaker 2 (01:40:26):
How dare we spend no no, no, comma please stop?
How dare we speak Merry Christmas to each other?

Speaker 1 (01:40:31):
How dare you? How dare I? How dare anybody? The
kid who's calling her parents.

Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
Backsta everys and liars probably feels the same way that
the you know, vice president does, which is saying something
about one of those two individuals, and it's not the
eight year old kid. Another story I saw, it's not
op ed. I think it's in the Guardian. I was
about how virtual reality has gotten more convincing. This is
a technology guy who writes about this stuff. He said,

(01:40:56):
many of the glitches of virtual reality have been removed.
Actually can now work in a virtual reality space where
he puts on goggles and thinks he's sitting at some
other desks somewhere and interacting. And he said that like
this is a tipping point that we're about to be
in a situation where more and more people might abray,
might embrace virtual technology because of how convincing it is.

(01:41:18):
I don't think that's a good thing. I don't think
any part of that's going to be a good thing.
I think we're barreling toward more and more bad things
and not good things, and eventually we'll be like the
movie Wally, when we're all just riding around in our
own chair that's doing our own virtual reality stuff and
no idea what.

Speaker 1 (01:41:33):
Real life is like.

Speaker 2 (01:41:35):
You already have people that claim they can't have face
to face conversations. I don't think we should make it
worse by going this road with it instead of any
other road with it. But darn it, this guy is
saying that things are getting better in that field of
that technology, so expect more, not less, in the future.
And I feel like this connects to the guy I
mentioned a little bit ago, the nostradamis dude from Brazil

(01:41:58):
that said that we're likely to have the road about
Uprising happened this year. I know this is a hell
of a way to end the show, hell of uplifting thing,
but nothing sounds worse to me than robot Uprising plus
virtual reality, because then we just become the matrix. That
movie just becomes a real life thing then for us,
and that's not good. I feel like that didn't end
well for anybody involved. But maybe I don't remember all

(01:42:19):
the three movies as well as I thought I did.
But they're out there and they're a thing, and we
can check on them because at least one an Nostradamus
person is saying to pay attention. One last story, really
truly last story. It's a ba humbug woman. There was
a woman that went viral on social media because she
said she wanted some free gifts from her local church
for her kids. She said she's in need of the

(01:42:41):
free gifts. She however, didn't like the idea that she'd
have to attend church to get them, which seems uniquely strange.
She said in order for the church to know that
she needs the gifts, she'd probably have to go, and
that members of her community urged her to go to
church to be a part of the service to then
get free stuff from the church. And she's said that's inappropriate.

(01:43:01):
How dare charity have strings attached to it, like going
to an hour of mass once in order to get
free stuff from a church that you don't actually go
to that you want free things from, which is insane,
by the way, to me, I think that this is
the most ba humbuggy thing of any bahumbug I've heard.
I don't think it's that big of a deal if
you actually had to attend a service, even if you

(01:43:23):
don't agree with or believe in anything, or walk out
of that church feeling any different about anything, if you're
asking for free stuff from them and you're not on
their radar already. I don't know why you thought you
would be, But I love how angry she is. It's like,
how dare I have to do anything? I want the
free stuff, and I want it for no reason whatsoever
except for the fact that I need it, and I'm

(01:43:43):
telling you I need it, and therefore you should give
it to me. I am happy that a lot of
people online did react by saying she was nuts and
saying she was insane and saying it doesn't seem like
it's that big of an ask as far as anything
else is concerned. And maybe at some point later on,
if you even develop a relationship, even if you don't
change your religion and go to the church, then maybe
you could donate toys to other kids if you wind

(01:44:06):
up in a better situation in the future. All these
are possibilities if you just go to church once for
one hour and then leave with a bunch of things.
But again, She said, the deb's inappropriate and not you
know what should be the rule at all, and darn it.

Speaker 1 (01:44:20):
She wants these things to change, which is the society
we live in. People.

Speaker 2 (01:44:23):
It's horrible in a lot of ways, but it is
what it is, all right. That's it for me for today.
I am back with you guys tomorrow. Dana is back
after the holiday, thrilled to be filling in for her.
