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. A bunch of stuff out there to talk
about d Lash, Dana Lash Radio, two great ways to
stay connected with her and this show on x on Twitter.
Do that every single day. Check it out and everything
going on there and producer Steven putting up a lot
of awesome stuff. All right, let's do this first. The

(00:22):
back and forth between NBC News and the White House
Press Secretary Caroline Levitt is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
She's very good at this job. I'm going to be
honest about that.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
I don't think that's because she's on a certain side
of the political aisle that I happen to be a
fan of. I think it's because of the way you
react when people challenge you and they're wrong. When you
have someone who challenges you and you have to lie,
you have to figure out a really good way to
not sound like you're lying or avoiding the question. The

(00:54):
last White House Press secretaries we've had were really bad
at that part. They essentially sounded like they were avoiding
or I'll get back to you, I'll find more information out.
Being well prepared and being able to combat people who
want to convince the United States that what you're saying
isn't true, even when it definitively is absolutely are better

(01:15):
at this gig. Carolyn Levitt, for sure, is one of them.
Here is some audio of her back and forth with
NBC News at a White House press conference just yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Question, j sure the President showed a video that he
said showed more than a thousand burial sites of white
South Africans that he said, we're murdered. We know that
that was not true and that the video wasn't doing that,
So I wonder why did the President choose shows It's
not true that the video was showing a burial site.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
It is unsubstantiated that that's the case.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
No, it's it is true that that video showed the
crosses that represents the President claimed. The video showed images
of crosses in South Africa about white farmers who have
been killed and politically persecuted because of the color of
their skin. President, and those crosses are representing their lives.

(02:03):
Those crosses are representing their lives in the fact that
they are now dead and their government did nothing about it.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Look, the topic is horrible.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
No part of me is laughing because of the horribleness
of the conversation. The thing that I'm laughing about is
how ridiculous the reporter is starting to sound by trying
to argue this with the White House Press secretary, and
it's about to get slam dunk version of what you're
saying and what you're objecting to is been proven to
be wrong. And one of your colleagues in the room,

(02:34):
an organization that certainly is not right leaning even remotely,
has said that what we showed is real, even as
you claim to say it's false or unsubstantiated or some
ridiculous things.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Are you disputing that there's no the fact.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
That the video showed what the President claimed it showed,
because it did not show that. But even more, what
I'm asking you is who.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Did show that the white cross is representing people who
have perished because of racial persecution?

Speaker 3 (02:58):
The videos that the president shows, and what protocols are
in phase when there's unsubstantiated information being put out for
the world and more leadership.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Give mesh what's unsubstantiated about the video? The video shows
crosses that represent the dead bodies of people who are
racially persecuted by their government. In fact, the Associated Press
of all places, has a picture of that very monument,
and the caption from the Associated Press is each cross
marks a white farmer who has been killed in a

(03:25):
farm murder. So it is substantiated, but it's not just
by that.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
That's incredible. By the way that back and forth, it's incredible.
And then you get further further and down to the
minute details on which the reporter is trying to claim
that the whole thing is a lie, while not explaining
how she's trying to say that until the very end
of all this pushback she's like, well, it's not literally
a burial site. People's bodies aren't actually under the crosses,

(03:51):
even if they represent the exact number of people who
deserve to have a burial site with their cross, with
their remembrance for their families, you know, demonstrated to the
rest of the world is something that's bad, that's happening
that we should want to happen zero times in our
society or in the world.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
But honestly, this is a slam dunk by the White
House Press Secretary. And as I said, I think she's
uniquely good at this job. I did think that other
press secretaries that Trump shows we're good at this job.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Here's another one in other news, the Department of Homelands.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Another moment where Carolyn Levitt does a great job. I
should explain.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Security conducted a deportation flight from Texas to remove vicious
illegal criminals in the United States. All of these individuals home.
All of these individuals were sent or are trying to
be sent to a third country. And President Trump promised
to get vicious illegal alien murderers, rapists, and pedophiles like
these out of our country, and he is delivering trying

(04:52):
to deliver on this promise. But no matter how upset
this makes Democrats, we will continue to deport these monsters
to keep Americans safe. Here are the hetus of individuals.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Okay, honestly, it's going to make me real depressed just
before the holiday to go through all that, So I'm
not gonna I could play it, I guess if you
want the context of it. No, I don't want to
play it. This weekend is a holiday weekend. But there
are bad they do bad things, the people that got
removed from this country. My favorite part of that audio is, though,
no matter how upset this makes Democrats, we will continue

(05:22):
to deport these monsters to keep America safe, because that's
something we should be doing, and that's something that shouldn't
be an argument between sides of the political aisle. All right,
let's move on. Nuclear power is coming back, baby. President
Trump is going to sign an executive order to remove
restrictions to boost that industry. Stocks have rallied within the

(05:43):
nuclear power world because of Trumps signaling a willingness to
benefit and not harm that industry as every single one
of these decisions gets made, whether it's not trying to
put red tape all over oil and gas, something that
Biden did, for now this nuclear energy and embracing it.
What we're seeing is energy prices here in the United

(06:06):
States going way down, gas prices going down, and stuff
being awesome for all of us. Which is interesting, right
because we're often told when the Democratic politician is in
office with the policies that are hurting the industry of energy,
we're told that they couldn't possibly affect the cost of energy,
that it's not within the powers of the president to

(06:27):
do that. And then when Trump gets into office and
gas prices are at the lowest price they've been for
a Memorial Day weekend in twenty plus years. You say
to yourself, how is this possible if you claim the
other thing isn't. How is this guy actually impacting the prices?
And it's plans like this. It's stuff like this on
which we're going to pay less and less and less
in energy as we keep creating it here. And I'll

(06:50):
say one thing, as a millennial who was raised at
a time when schools taught you about global warming and
all that stuff, and this is my best point to
anyone that's up in arms about this is going to
ruin the world we live in as a reaction to
Trump's nuclear power policies. If we don't enhance our production

(07:11):
of energy, other places in the world will. They always will,
especially since some of this energy is provided from one
place to another place, all kinds of different ways that
that's done. If we don't embrace energy, we don't fix
the world. And even if say there's not some level
of what we stop doing someone else picks up doing,

(07:32):
there's still no impact on society as a whole. According
to all these scientists who say all the terrible things
they say. If just the United States makes decisions and
no one else in the world does.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
So if we're alone in.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
How we behave we have zero ability to do any
of the things that people claim they're trying to do
when they take over these industries.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
So all of that is just out the door.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
When people discuss this, we pretend as though if the US, say,
has less nuclear power somehow, all the people that are saying,
you know, global warming is upon us are satisfied.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
They're like, oh, no, things are great now, which is
not at all what they say.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I don't know if everyone turned off every version of
power and we went back to like candlelight at night,
if the fearmonger people in the world of the scientific
community that says that would shut up. I feel like
they keep talking. They'd be like, well, you don't know,
the candles are now the problem. It seems like they
just want us to have pitch black all the time.
But anyway, again, the fact that more energy is going

(08:29):
to be embraced, it means, at least on the simplistic level,
things are going to be less expensive for you and me,
And that's awesome. All right, one last thing I want
to play and then we'll take a break. This is
a back and forth between Robert F. Kennedy Junior and
CNN Caitlin Collins about why Robert F. Kennedy Junior says
you should be skeptical of him, and you know, skeptical

(08:51):
of his medical advice, and how awesome it is to
hears someone in a position like his saying that, because oftentimes,
when you have a you know, fancy doctor as the
secretary of Health and Human Services, they act as though
their opinion is the only opinion in the room that
ever has mattered and will ever matter. And to have

(09:11):
someone have such a different approach to that discussion is awesome,
but even more so as this back and forth becomes predictable,
how Robert F.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Kennedy responds to it is truly amazing.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
Here we go that you said that people should not
take your medical advice. Yeah, is that that's your position?

Speaker 6 (09:28):
Yeah, absolutely, people should not be taking medical advice. I'm
somebody who is not a physician, but they and they
should also be skeptical about any medical advice. They need
to do their own research. You know, you're a mom.
If you're a mom, you do your own research on
your baby carriage, on your baby bottles, on your baby formula.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
They don't have medical degrees. Obviously, if you're a mom
and you're looking at what science has been testing.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Let me break this down the way that Caitlyn Collins
wants to say it. They're all idiots. How dare you
say that anyone who's a complete moron can look into
information and figure things out for themselves. That's their position
all the time on these topics is that you're too
stupid to do anything they do.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
They trust their doctors and their pediatricians.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Well, you know, one of the responsibilities of living in
a democracy, where decisians and every sort of expert are
subject to all kinds of biases, One of the responsibilities
of living in a democracy is to do your own
research and to make up your own mind.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
So that's your message to mom, served to anyone your research.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
I would say, be skeptical of authority. My father told
me that when I was a young kid. People in
authority lie, and we've seen a lot of that in
our country, and people in the media lie. And people
need to make their own judgments and be skeptical and
maintain their capacity for critical thinking. And that was shut
down during COVID, and the media was complicit in that.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Disagree on that last part.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Ridiculous, ridiculous that she had to get that shot in
where she disagrees that the media did a whole bunch
of horrible things during COVID, but just excellent, excellent everything
that Robert F. Kennedy Junior said there at the end,
and how people in authority obviously lie and if you
behave as if they don't, they'll just lie to you
more and more and more. All right, Well, take a break.
A lot coming up. Creig Collins filling in on the

(11:17):
Danish show Our.

Speaker 7 (11:18):
Partners at Home. Title Locke, you need to protect your title.
I mean, if you haven't yet, good heavens, I don't know.
I don't know why. With our AI cyber era, you
definitely want to make sure that you have your most
valuable asset, like the most expensive thing that you own, protected,

(11:38):
because it is actually super easy. I'm not saying I
tried it, but it is easy to swap someone's title,
to swipe it. All it takes is a signature, and
people can criminals conform. They can forge your name, they
can add a fake notary stamp and for a little, tiny,
little bitty filing fee with the county, they can take
your home's title and you're not even gonna know what happened.

(12:00):
That's until you start getting collection calls and foreclosure notices,
and then you have to hire a lawyer and spend
thousands of dollars to prove that your home is in fact, yes, yours.
And it's easier with this cyber driven world. It's happening
more and more. You need to get Home title Lock.
In fact, you can get a title history of report
and a fourteen day trial of their million dollar triple

(12:21):
uck protection using promo Codata at home title lock dot com.
And what that happened. What that means is that's twenty
four to seven monitoring of your title, urgent alerts to
any changes, and should fraud happen, they'll spend up to
a million dollars to fix it. Visit home title lock
dot com today and use promo Codaina.

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

Speaker 1 (12:45):
That's right, it's time for the Quick five on the
Dana Show.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
My name is Craig Collins filling in Dlash Dana Lash Radio.
Two great ways to stay connected to her and everything
going on with this show. First, this is kind of ridiculous.
ABC News, their news boss has told the view to
tone down the Trump bashing. Guess what, it's not good
for the ratings. Unsurprising this has continued to happen. And

(13:08):
actually what's also hilarious is that it's May of twenty
twenty five, and that's when news of this story gets out.
I don't know when Trump wins reelection by also winning
the popular vote, something people thought he couldn't do. You
feel like at some point the decision makers would be like,
you know what, we can just at least skip some
of these topics, just not talk about them instead of

(13:29):
continuing to make most of our audience or some of
our audience mad, because I doubt much of that audience
that cares would even be left at this point. But
nonetheless they're continuing to try to tell them to rein
it in. That story is interesting out there in the world.
Also revolutionary new contacts that are being created in China
that would allow you to basically have night vision without

(13:50):
ridiculous goggles on your face.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
That's another thing out there in the world.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
It sounds kind of intense, to be honest, if everybody
had night vision, I don't know if it all so
would ruin your day vision if someone just popped a
light on, would you have to rip the contacts out
of your eyes to see again?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
I'm not sure, but this seems rough.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
This seems to be something that's not going to be
invented for any sort of good reason. It sounds like
it's invented for ninja's or some other thing like that.
I don't mean to say that, but my brain couldn't
help me from saying that. That's where it went. And
darn and I'm okay with it. Another story out there
that I thought was amazing. A guy graduated from the
University of Buffalo in New York with a baby in

(14:31):
his hands. He asked before and I'll play some audio
of him talking about it, if he could bring his
infant son with him, And his infant son was dressed
up in his own graduation gown, so both people matching outfits,
walk across the stage to accept a diploma. But here's
the ridiculous part. He was being slowly chased by a
police officer because the day of the event, the venue

(14:53):
tried to not let him carry his baby on the stage,
citing some sort of safety concern. Stupid rules enforced by
stupid people who seem angry is something I hate in society,
and it seems to have plagued this whole situation here.

Speaker 9 (15:10):
I've asked lest semester if I could walk with my
baby and commencement prep session and they were like, yeah,
it's okay. No one's gonna tell you no. But they
said it was a safety hazard. They don't want the
baby on stage. I won't walk then, and I run.
That's what I did, you know, I promised him I'm
gonna walk with them on the stage. I run with
them on the stage. I have nothing against to Be.

(15:30):
I love you Be. I graduated from you Be. I'm
doing my master's right now at you Be. That's a
great college.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
He got a standing ovation from the audience when he
walked across the stage with his baby in a matching
gown graduation gown. So of course that made sense. And
some moron who's like, nah, the rules apply here. It
is too dangerous. This baby might not make it across
the stage. Is someone ruining things? And you know these
people in your life, they're angry, they're upset, they're they're

(15:57):
you know, horrible to be around, and they spread that
misery in whatever way they can, mostly by if they
have the power enforcing stupid rules at stupid moments. They
definitely exist. And I get so fed up with these
people and even trying to deal with them a little
bit or have any sort of conversation with them, because
it's an absolute nightmare. All Right, one last thing you

(16:18):
can tell them, uniquely mad about that, one last thing
that I thought was interesting out there. Jennifer Lopez is
suing for the cop is being sued excuse me for
copyright cases involving photos of her. So essentially, she put
up photos of herself in social media that she didn't take.
It is her, and she is like wandering around and
someone else who took them is like, how dare you

(16:40):
use my photo of you? This would be the weirdest
thing to deal with in the world of being a celebrity,
because no matter how much I understand the law would
allow someone to.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Sue for this, it would feel real stupid.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
If I was the person that was putting up photos
of me and someone was like, how dare you use
that photo of you that I took? I would be like,
come on, man, it's me. If I don't exist. There
is no photo. So again I'm not saying she's right
to be mad, but I'd be mad too. All right,
quick break a lot more. This is Craig Collins filling
in on the Data Show.

Speaker 7 (17:09):
Hey, folks, so I want to share something important that
every American should be aware of. We're seeing a lot
of economic uncertainty right now. You have the national debt rising,
global trade tensions impacting markets, and tariffs with higher prices
on the stuff that everybody uses every day. It's not
about panic, it's about preparation. So this is why I
partnered with gold Code, the top rated precious metals company,

(17:32):
to help you take a step towards protecting your financial future.
Smart investors look too hard assets like gold and silver
to help weather the storm. It's a strategy that's been
used for generations, and right now you can get a
free twenty twenty five gold and silver kit that breaks
it all down for you, and if you qualify, you
could receive unlimited bonus silver real silver match to your

(17:53):
account with no taxes or penalties. It's a smart move
that could help you feel more secure with what lies ahead.

Speaker 10 (18:06):
Writing up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show
podcast where every update comes with a little dash of
not so serious. On YouTube, Apple or wherever you get
your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Thrilled to be with you, d Lash, Dana Lash Radio,
two great places on X on Twitter to follow her
at Radio, Craig c if you want to follow me,
I need to get my Twitter numbers to be even
remotely respectable. I feel like there's members of my own
family that have more followers than I do there, so
I'd love it if you followed me. I probably also
need to put stuff more on X than I do.
All right, anyway, let's move on. Hillary Clinton was on

(18:43):
X and she puts something out. Producer Steven pointed me
in this direction, and it's ridiculously stupid. She says, this
Memorial Day, will you celebrate and also, and she doesn't
say this, but this is the part that should be there.
Remember those who we've lost, who defend the freedom of
our country. That's what Memorial Day is about. It's about

(19:04):
remembering the fallen soldiers who fight for us right now,
who fought for us in the past. The individuals who
are willing to say that you know, our safety, our protection,
our freedom are things that they're willingly letting themselves potentially
die for. They will give their life to protect those
things for us. That's Memorial Day. That's not what Hillary

(19:27):
Clinton wants us talking about. She wants us talking about
how Trump's budget hurts kids. She says, it hurts the
healthcare coverage of kids, food insecurities of children, Families are
going to be poor, There's other things. She says, The
AI dangers are going to be unchecked, so kids are
gonna be harmed. Let's actually dive into those claims and

(19:47):
see how real they are. One of the biggest ones here,
and I think the reason this tweet went viral is
Hillary Clinton referencing food and security and children and the
budget from President Trump. Here's the the part that you
need to understand about any cut that happens with the
federal government when someone like President Trump takes over and

(20:07):
someone like Biden steps out, and how it actually won't
be or doesn't have to be the extent to which
they claim. If certain things happen. So what's the difference
between policies for conservatives and liberals in this world? It's
a few more steps of paperwork to prove that what
you're doing isn't taking advantage of the system. What has

(20:29):
Trump's bill actually required. It's expanded work requirements. It's pushed
the age back to which you can receive snap benefits
without working from fifty four to sixty four, a, meaning
that you have to keep working into your sixties. If
you're getting a free government assistance to buy food, you
have to demonstrate that you're working in order to do that.

(20:51):
Beyond that, it reduces the exemptions that state and federal
government can place on people from having to seek work
and work in order to get these benefits. Able bodied
adults without dependence would be subject to rules unless they
meet certain exception exemptions, and able bodied adults with kids
over the age of seven would also have new rules apply.

(21:13):
So what happens when the projection is cutting the budget
and stopping spending by a ridiculous amount of money on
some of these government policies, and then media runs with it,
It's going to be you know, millions or billions of
dollars and tons of people affected. The assumption that people
can't prove that they're going to start working if everyone

(21:34):
that's on Snap right now follows all the new requirements,
which I'm not saying they will, and I am absolutely
saying that the government is anticipating they don't, and that's
why they're assuming there's going to be a projection of savings.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Now.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Granted it's over a ten year period, two two hundred
and sixty seven billion dollars could be saved over ten years.
If they're wrong, if everybody that's on Snap needs Snap
and is willing to work and is capable of working
and finds a job and still needs SNAP, that occurs,
we keep spending the same money on this.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
It doesn't just remove the system.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
That's the part that always annoys me when people talk
about this, and again it's probably something that's not necessarily
desired to be highlighted on other side. On either side
of the political aisle, the side that's telling you they're
saving you money wants to tell you that they're definitively
saving you money, and the side that's telling you that
this is a disaster and it's horrible, and everyone that's
impacted is going to suffer. Wants to tell you that

(22:27):
without the other part. But essentially, the government is creating
more hoops for you to jump through, and if you
jump through them, you retain your SNAP benefit. So those
eleven million people, those four million kids that Hills is
referencing in her tweet might all still get to keep
their benefits if they just do the thing that this
administration wants them to do.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
And to be honest with you, And this is just
a stat that I looked up.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Most people who take advantage of certain assistances in their
community as far as food goes. This isn't necessarily SNAP
ben specifically, but this is other things, things like getting
food from your local church, whatever. Most of those groups
of people, I think it's something like seventy percent have
a working adult that's in the household, which would make

(23:11):
them qualify for SNAP benefits and other things like that.
So it's really people who are using government benefits and
not even necessarily going the additional proactive step of say
getting the free food that might exist in your community
through certain non government programs or things that are tied
to and also not tied to government programs. And I
know I'm getting deep in the weeds to say this,

(23:32):
but it's interesting because essentially the conservative position has long
been stop taking advantage of our country. If you want
a benefit and you don't want to do anything to
try to get yourself into a place where you don't
need this government benefit anymore, you shouldn't have it. It's
not beneficial to you if you're relying on it without

(23:53):
trying to improve your situation. That's the extent of the rule.
And again you're called heartless and horrible for saying that
part out loud, for behaving as though that part matters
in the equation.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
And yet the more room you give.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
For society to take advantage of something, the more people
who do it. It's true of anything you do in
your life.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Anything.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
If you tell your kids that they're allowed to stay
up a little bit after their bedtime one night, the
next night, they're going to ask you if they can
do it again, and if they can do it again
and again. And so there is absolutely a need to
rein in a bunch of government spending through restricting access
to certain things that we're over spending on because there's
people who are taking advantage of it, and also of course,

(24:38):
people are just full on stealing money in all different
kinds of ways within the government, people who are corrupting
and changing all of those things too. But I just
find this so fascinating that it becomes such a dominant
conversation and so wildly misunderstood by so many people. All Right,
I've spent way too much time harping on this. Let's
do some other stuff. President Trump recently had a meeting

(24:58):
with the Health Commission, and he said some things that
are uniquely him that no one else does or says.
And these are reasons that people who vote for him
tremendously like him.

Speaker 11 (25:08):
I'd like to ask Oz in particular, because you and
I know each other. He's a very tough mbre, this one.
He's tough as hell. And so if you can lead
the group, and it's not going to be easy, you're
gonna have to get in and you're gonna have to fight.
If you do it, you can have within a period
of weeks, you can have drug costs that drop like
a rock. Okay, so you as a group, I have
great confidence. And if you don't do it, I am

(25:30):
firing every single word.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
That's the part I love and Honestly, that's the part
that you no longer see in most political places because
politicians don't wield power that way, and if they do
will power, they're said that they're a dictator and something
horrible and terrible. And then also they simply don't make
jokes like that. They don't, you know, lighten the mood

(25:53):
in a fairly strong way. But every part of that's amazing.
And I actually believe Trump if his Health Commission does
doesn't do the things he wants them to do, he'll
fire all of them and find other people to do it.
Because it's a uniquely beneficial to all Americans' policy to
want pharmaceutical prices, drug prices, you know, all kinds of

(26:13):
medicine prices to go down. That's uniquely beneficial to a
lot of us, and it should be wildly popular in
this country. It shouldn't be the kind of thing that
people are like, well, I don't know if I want that.
I don't know if it's a good idea for me
to pay the same amount of money that every other
country in the world pays for these drugs, or at
least some of them pay for these drugs, or get

(26:34):
even closer to it if I'm not paying the exact
same amount as some of the well developed places in
the world. All of those things are just crazy to
because the argument for the left can't actually be the
substance of the discussion because they know they're losing there.
They know that the average American wants the thing that
Trump is offering. So they can't tell you that, you know,

(26:54):
he's going after drug prices because it would be beneficial
for us. They have to tell you that he's acting
like an authoritarian and he's trying to do things through
abusing the powers within his position as the president, so
that you believe they're bad even if what he's doing
is good, because it's the only way to combat him.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
All right, there's one other thing.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
I'll play this too, actually before we take a break,
and this is pretty great as well.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
This is ABC.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Channel twelve WISN in Milwaukee in Wisconsin, reporting on that
judge Judge Dougan, who initially was charged with helping someone
escape authorities. She let an the legal person sneak out
of a back door at her courthouse, and when this occurred,
most of mainstream media said it was President Trump imprisoning

(27:42):
his political enemies. People said that there was not going
to be any proof of this, that this was terrible
and the beginning of another authoritarian move by the current
president as of yesterday for the first time, as you'll
hear in this news coverage. Sadly, this is radio, so
you won't see it, but you can go find it
for yourself. For sure, there is video evidence of the

(28:03):
judge doing exactly the things she is charged with doing,
meaning that this is not at all a Trump going
after a political enemy, but someone who committed a crime
on videotape getting caught for it.

Speaker 12 (28:15):
Here we go, for the first time. We're seeing Judge
Hannah Dugan outside her courtroom April eighteenth, wearing her black robes,
appearing to confront several federal agents there to arrest Eduardo
Flores Ruiz, a Milwaukee man and Mexican national charged locally
with three counts of domestic battery. This video, released by
Milwaukee County through an open records request, is part of

(28:36):
the evidence in the case against Judge Dugan, who's charged
with obstructing a federal investigation concealing Flores Ruiz allowing him
to leave her courtroom by a different door after sending
the agents to speak to the chief judge. What Flores Ruiz,
dressed in black with his attorney, he is seen in
several of the videos leaving by that other door, one
prosecutors say was used by jurors and not open to

(28:58):
the public.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Can't be possible.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
There can't possibly be proof of the thing that she's
accused of doing that has no connection to a politically
motivated charge that you can't actually prove occurred. I thought
all of those media outlets told me this didn't exist,
and yet it does. And it's hilarious and amazing that
this is a thing that's out there in the world
for you to see and for me to see, and
for us to react accordingly. By the way, just real quick,

(29:23):
the fact that they call people who are here illegally
the place in which they live, and then their sex
is hilarious. They call him a Milwaukee man and then
a Mexican national, as opposed to a guy who's currently
in Milwaukee. That's what Milwaukee man means. This is a
dude that's not from Milwaukee, that's not from the United States,

(29:44):
that doesn't have the right to be there legally, who's
currently in that place. And yet when you say it Milwaukee, man,
it sounds like somebody who has every right to be
in Milwaukee and sanitize that language on purpose to slowly
convince you that what what's happening is horrible, as opposed
to saying, here's a dude in a courthouse in Milwaukee
who's from Mexico, who should be in Mexico, who got

(30:08):
in trouble and while honestly the judge is in trouble
for sneaking him out of a courtroom that he was
probably going to get arrested in. All right, quick break,

or wherever you get your podcast.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about. I was just talking
to producer Stephen during the break about the NBA. It
has been a fun playoffs this year. I know at
times people say they don't watch certain sports anymore because
of all the ridiculous wokeness that exists in those sports.
The NBA is certainly one of the worst abusers. I

(31:54):
said wokeness in just permeating every part of that process. Still,
if the games are good and if the play isn't interesting,
I get suckered back in, especially the Indiana Pacers, out
of all the stories out there, and there is a
Game two happening tonight between them and the Knicks, and
a whole lot of New York fans that absolutely want

(32:16):
to see a win after the epic crumble in Game one.
But Pacer comeback games have been a unique thing this
year and even in the playoffs, and the historicalness of
the last one makes you want to see that part.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Honestly.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
I have a lot of friends who actively currently don't
like the NBA because of the political stuff, who were
messaging me if I watched that Pacers game and saying
they regretted they didn't see it because they like to sometimes.
And maybe this is a sports fan thing in general.
I'll just throw this out there and we'll move on
to some other stuff. But I think it is true.
Historic moments and sports force you to pay attention if

(32:53):
you care about them at all. It doesn't even matter
if it's like your favorite sport, second favorite, if it's
a team you love or team you hate. You know,
the home run chase, whatever it might be. Those historic things,
those things that you know no one is done, or
only one group of people or one dude has ever done.
They grab your attention because it's the like the one

(33:14):
percent of the one percent of success in that world.
Because already the professional athlete is someone most of us
will never be. And then the professional athlete who does
something that no one's ever done is you can't you.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Can't get away from it. And actually, you know what, I'll.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Say this, and this might make me sound, you know,
woke to some and I promise it's not that I
occasionally check in on the stats of Caitlin Clark. I know,
the WNBA just started. I don't watch the games. It's
not something I do. I'm not trying to say that
you shouldn't or you should. It's not exciting to me
the way the NBA is no offense, even if Clark

(33:47):
is shooting from half court occasionally. But I do check
in her stats because I'm curious about that. And if
she becomes the most dominant player in that league clearly,
which you already might be, it will be interesting. There
will be something that'll be interesting about it, and maybe
there will be a demand to watch, especially if say
she makes it to a championship game, a championship round

(34:09):
where she's playing multiple games.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
I think that you know, there might be a chance.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
And I think two point five million people watched the
opening game between them and the team out of Chicago,
the Chicago Sky, I think because of interest in it.
So again, something where athletes transcend their sport by being
the best of the best and doing things no one
else has done are always captivating. All right, Other things

(34:33):
out there quickly before I take a break that probably
matter to you, might not matter to you. What meat
you're going to be choosing to cook for Memorial Day
based on where you live was a giant survey that
went out into the world, and I thought it was
somewhat hilarious, mostly because of a bunch of terrible decisions
that certain states are making. All of the Midwest just

(34:54):
cooks brought worst. This is Chicago, Indiana. A bunch of places.
The top fighting item that they'll be making for Memorial
Day is cased meat and that's just wrong. Man, if
money is no object, which is the premise of the question,
you have to choose a more interesting, tastier, a better

(35:15):
version of meat than just choosing a.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Version of a hot dog or a brought worst. That's wrong.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Some of my favorite places that made decisions that I
more understand. Florida went with fla mignon. Also, I think Washington,
d c. Threw on the flame mignon. A bunch of
places on the West Coast actually chose ribi and fancier
versions and cuts of meat and steak.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
That's a better decision for me.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Even beef Tips, which was out of California, makes way
more sense than simply buying and eating the broad worst
in the hot dog.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
I'm not shaming you for doing it.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Delicious food, but if money is no object, improve the
meat people. Greg Collins filling in on the Danish show.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
filling in Thrilled to be with you. So much stuff
to talk about out there in the world. First, just
a kind of sad and maybe a little bit confusing
of an update out there. Billy Joel has been diagnosed
with a brain disorder. I don't think that it's life threatening.
It does cause him to lose his balance, struggle with

(37:31):
some hearing stuff and other things.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Normal pressure hydrocephalus NPH is what it's called.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
But Billy Joel has canceled all of his upcoming tour dates,
all of his concerts as he gets treatment physical therapy
for a brand newly discovered brain disorder. That's just a
thing that recently hit the news that I figured i'd
throw out there. All right, let's talk about something that's
causing a rift and even some pushback from his own
side of the political aisle. President Trump's fight with Harvard.

(38:02):
This is the latest move. A DHS letter from Christy
Nome to Harvard says that they're no longer going to
be able to have foreign students. In fact, students that
are currently there with F or J visas are going
to have to transfer to another school to keep the
visa or the visas being taken away. How is the
Trump administration validating or at least how are they claiming

(38:23):
that it's valid that they're going to do this. They
said the campus is unsafe, and this part I easily
agree with. The Trump administration says that Harvard has allowed
for a very anti Semitic, very anti Israel sentiment to
exist on their campus, that certain students who come from
other countries enhance that problem. And this is probably the

(38:44):
most important caveat of it. Harvard has been absolutely unwilling
to work with the Trump administration in some of its requests, demands,
whatever you want to call them, to gain more information
about that. The Trump administration, this government, they want DHS
information about what students are coming, what countries they're coming
from that go into Harvard, and more background information about it.

(39:08):
And Harvard is unwilling to give that information until say
it would be too late and people are here in
this country and the United States.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Wants to stop that.

Speaker 13 (39:17):
Now.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Look, I get every objection to this as like this
is too far, this is trying to act like a dictator.
I understand those or saying that, you know, penalizing certain
students or whatever it might be. But here's the part
that I find good or uniquely interesting about stories like this.
Trump is absolutely willing to make someone the demonstration of

(39:40):
why you should follow the rules so that everyone else
behaves differently. And Harvard is trying to stand up against
him for whatever political or you know, I guess optic
when they think they're getting But Harvard doesn't get as
many federal dollars if it decides, if it decides to
fight the federal government. That's simply true. It doesn't mean

(40:03):
that the United States is shutting Harvard down, of course,
it's not doing that. And it doesn't mean that Harvard
can't recover the money and funds and all the things
that are being taken away from them by the federal
government some other way. And it's not even a huge
part of the money that exists in that university anyway.
But this is just showing them the extent of power

(40:24):
that the US government has. And essentially all of this
goes away if Harvard starts playing ball as far as
the DEI initiatives go, as far as any of this stuff.
But they want to stand firm, They want to stand
tall and say we can resist, we can say no
to you. And this is the byproduct of doing that.
Within the rules that exists in this country. It's not

(40:44):
going to go further. No one's breaking any laws though,
and deciding to change things this way or that way
and counching them. And I'm sure that'll be challenged in
court as to whether or not what I just said
is actually factually true, and we'll find out if someone
decides it somehow isn't. But nonetheless, and this is the thing,
I do support the idea that if you want to

(41:04):
mooch off of our government in some way, shape or form,
and you wind up getting kicked in the teeth for it,
especially if you're bragging about doing it, that it kind
of sounds like it's a self inflicted won't, even if
the way they're kicking you in the teeth is a
way I wouldn't personally do it. I don't like government
taking control of things that it shouldn't have control of,
but again, it's not really totally doing that.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
All right, let's play some audio. This is a CNN interview.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
This is a Harvard professor who melts down over the outrageous,
awful authoritarian decision by the Trump administration. Will this same
guy and people just like him, people who work at
that school would love to be invited onto television to
brag about the ways that they're fighting the trumpet menth
they'd love that. They want the publicity of that. They

(41:50):
want to be the tallest person in the room of
short people saying look at me, look at me. I'm
great because I'm fighting back. And sometimes when you fight back,
the bully punches.

Speaker 14 (42:01):
This decision that Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students,
and existing foreign students have to transfer or lose their
legal status. What's your reaction to this.

Speaker 15 (42:16):
I think it's awful and it's outrageous. It's another pattern
of the Trump administration taking authoritarian actions in the United States.
The president does not have the power to punish people,
target people for punishment because he doesn't like their politics,
and he's targeting Harvard because he thinks he politically disagrees
with them. It's a political vendetta. And he's doing this

(42:38):
on the back of students who were admitted to Harvard
from around the world for their merit, for things that
they accomplished in life.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Here's what's amazing about this being a thing that people
are saying, because on its face, I agree again that
you shouldn't try to enforce your will by any means necessary. However,
they're literally talking about the guy who was almost sent
to jail in New York for a case that absolutely
wasn't a felony, has never been tried as a felony

(43:06):
before a business you know, accounting error, if that's what
the Trump companies would say it was, and if New
York says it's something else that got inflated from typically
you know, a misdemeanor charge to a felony without the
explanation of what it was, to try to throw the
political opponent of Biden into prison so that he couldn't

(43:27):
run and the only case that actually got that far.
So politicizing and fighting and showing strength by using any
sort of you know, loophole you can find is absolutely
something that the left constantly does. That Harvard I'm sure
does all the time. They find a way to maximize
every federal dollar they get, even when they don't need
all the federal dollars, even when they'd be just fine

(43:48):
without them. And a lot of organizations do it, and
a lot of organizations feel they're smart for doing it.
But when you depend on that, when you you know,
use those sort of things. You can also stand up
in the middle of the room and say, by the way,
I hate you, now give me more money. He usually
winds up being a thing that causes conflict. And so again,
I know that Harvard's being made an example of, and

(44:10):
I know that Trump is trying to tell the entire
United States play by our rules, especially our DEI rules,
which I firmly believe in. I think he's absolutely right
in trying to get rid of DEI. Let me say
something else actually about that. So, the mayor in Chicago,
his name is Brandon Johnson, has been viral multiple times
over the last few days for crazy stuff he is saying,

(44:33):
mostly because he seems proud that he hired a bunch
of people based on their race. He hired a bunch
of people into this administration, the one currently running Chicago,
because they're black and he's a black man too. And
so now that he's getting in trouble for that, even
though he bragged about it as he was doing it,
he's upset.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
He's like, how dare.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
The Trump administration comes after me because they also disagree
with me. They also, you know, politically don't like me,
and find something that I actually did wrong and try
to hold me accountable for the thing I did wrong.
Let me play a little bit of Brandon Johnson's audio.
But this is amazing.

Speaker 16 (45:09):
Well, as far as you know the president's animates towards women,
people of color, working people, we have always known who
he has been.

Speaker 17 (45:22):
This is not a surprise. He's a monster a period,
end of statement. We have the most diverse administration in
the history of Chicago, and he is threatened by that.
You can tell when someone is fearful is because they
act out. We have a president that is screaming and

(45:46):
having tantrums right now because we have an administration that
reflects the city of Chicago, but he would much rather
have administrations that reflect the country globe.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
It is ridiculous. Every part of this is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
My favorite part is when he says that someone who
behaves at all is you know, someone acting out because
they're afraid. So that means anyone who takes any action
for anything is afraid, and that's why they're behaving the
way they're behaving. Even say, like a cop who's stopping
someone from killing someone else, that cop was terrified. That's
why he did what he did, And that cop might
actually be scared. But nonetheless that's not why you take

(46:18):
the action. Sometimes you take action because people are doing
things that are bad and you want them not to
do the bad things anymore. And by the way, when
he says that his current administration reflects the population of Chicago,
oftentimes an excuse used by people to say they do
things the way they do them. The truth is that
the majority of people that live in Chicago are actually white.

(46:40):
About thirty six percent of Chicago is white people, twenty
nine percent is Black, seven percent is Asian, zero point
one percent is Native American, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
There's other races.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
A lot of people who describe themselves as Hispanic might
also describe themselves as white.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
By the way, so.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Significant population and diversity, they're not exact actly reflected in
the Brandon Johnson administration. And so here's what's so funny
about all the virtue signaling and all the ridiculousness of
these sort of conversations. They don't have to exist. And
what I mean by this, and I'm not trying to
help the bad guys do their bad stuff better. Politicians

(47:18):
need the political win of hiring people that don't look
like me, a white guy. They desperately want it because
if they didn't tout it, if they didn't brag about it,
if they didn't celebrate it, they could do it and
no one could object to it. If they told us
everyone they hired got their jobs solely based on merit,

(47:39):
I'd have nothing to be upset about. Now, I could
be suspicious that that's not true, and I could talk
about it in a different way. But the fact that
they admit it, and they admit it because they know
that it's politically advantageous to them with their voters that
they want voting for them, is the thing that causes
the problem. Because when you use simple logic, you understand
easily it's not a good policy. You shouldn't hire anyone

(48:03):
based on their race or their sex. That's not why
they should get a job. They should get a job
because they're good at something. And anyone who wants to
yell at a radio or me or anyone else saying that,
how dare you? If that's true, then the people that
have these jobs won't get them, Well, then they don't
deserve them. If they can't get a job based on merit,
they shouldn't get a job based on something else, and

(48:25):
if you think they're not getting evaluated fairly, we can
have that discussion by proving it, not just saying that
you think it exists. You have to prove that it's true,
which means that whoever gets the job, you have to
demonstrate how they're not as qualified as someone who didn't
get the job. And then we can do this on
a case by case basis and we can figure it
all out.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
But anyway, I'll stop ranting about this.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
I just think it's ridiculous that this is the kind
of conversation we have in society so much, and it
emboldens so many people on a certain side of the
political aisle to say things that are like evidently racist.
I know people that will look at me and say
they hate white dudes to my face, and like, I
can't fathom saying that to someone else, to look at
them and who they are and whatever their race, sex,

(49:08):
anything is and be like, hey, I hate everybody that
looks like you. And yet people could do it to
me to my face and not worry about any ramifications
from it because of the current version of the world
we live in, and that is nuts. Quick break a

they race around the Indianapolis five hundred Motor Speedway, competing
in a first time ef for event. Not sure which
wienermobile will be the fastest and what sort of bragging rights,
if any, will be provided to the region of the
country that it represents. I'm not sure anyone that will

(51:29):
be proud of their Wienermobile for winning the Weeni five hundred.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
But that's a real thing out in the.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
World, and again not connected to the next story I'm
talking about. The UK has passed a brand new law
that punishes people who are found guilty of pedophilia by
castrating them. That's a real thing out there. A whole
lot of people are actually celebrating this, and I'm not
saying that I'm upset about it at all, but they're

(51:54):
celebrating this as a harsh punishment for uniquely discussing criminals.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Actually, they often that.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
People who have sex crimes against children that go to
jail get pretty horrible treatment in prison because of how
disgusting the rest of the.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
World thinks that sort of thing is.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
But the UK said that in order to crack down
on any sort of cases, it's finding that are disturbing.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
And I'll actually I'll go one step further.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
I know police officers who at times have told me
they've been involved in a uniquely horrible case where certain
things come to light and the anger, the rage they
get and how much impacts them that like parts of
humanity can be so horrible and evil it makes you
understand this law, the reality of this law, and the
value of laws like this, and the hope that it

(52:41):
causes people to not do the thing in the first
place that makes so much of our society mad. But
I just thought that was uniquely interesting and again not
tied to the weeny five hundred story.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
All right, other things out there.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
A urt company, this is the real thing.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
A Urdle went bankrupt.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
Apparently it's caused a whole lot of people to be
ticket lists and also accommodation list for a music festival.
It sounds very similar to the Fire festival. Ten thousand
to sixteen thousand euros was spent on a luxury yurt
that would have been set up at a local music
festival in Willshire coming up in just a little bit
in that country, the Glanstonbury Festival. Now, the people who

(53:24):
paid sixteen thousand euros to Yurdl are no longer going
to have tickets to the event or an accommodation to
be under during their fry festival like or excuse me,
fire festival like experience.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
This is the dumbest thing I've heard.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
I would never buy tickets and a luxury yurt from
a yurt company. Go to Ticketmaster like a normal person,
Quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on

Speaker 2 (55:07):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there in the world to talk about, and
yet there's a really weird thing that's been going viral
from a little bit earlier today. This is a discussion
on Outnumbered on Fox about a comment Michelle Obama made
in a podcast. Again, this is raising people's eyebrows because

(55:31):
of how weird it is that the former First Lady
is thinking about stuff like this.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
But here we go.

Speaker 18 (55:39):
Her latest comment to Airbnb CEO is certainly raising some eyebrows.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Watch this.

Speaker 13 (55:47):
You know, I have to say, Brian, if I'm a
single girl out there and I find out that Brian
Cheskey is single, and I can like stay in his house.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
Thank you. The relations Brian, you don't you don't have
to feel.

Speaker 6 (56:05):
Have you ever heard try to set me up before?

Speaker 19 (56:08):
So yeah, I'm very I'm very invested in Brian's love life.

Speaker 17 (56:17):
Right here.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
A couple of things about that.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
First, a reaction to the thing Michelle Obama was trying
to talk about. She's saying that if you're a single
woman and you find out that a person that you're
interested in rents out their home on Airbnb, that as
an interested woman, you would rent the Airbnb and spy
on the person you're interested in having a relationship with,

(56:42):
which is uniquely terrified, Like, first and foremost, the craziness, uh,
the stalkerness, the all the things news that would hit
you if some lady that you've asked out for a
blind eight, maybe you've met them on a dating app
all of a sudden pops up on your Airbnb as
someone who just rented your house out, You'd be like
what and then they're going through everything that seems uniquely crazy.

(57:05):
So first, just the premise of the comment is kind
of weird. But the other thing that people said is
raising eyebrows is Michelle Obama saying how interested she is
and a unique man's love life and the stuff going
on with him, and the fact that the guy kind
of couches it by saying, well, she and Barack have
been trying to set me up on some kind of
a date or something anyway, But how weird is every

(57:28):
part of this, but especially the part where Michelle is
essentially telling young women, this would be a great way
to spy on a significant other you might have interest in.
Just go ahead and rent their house and then you
have everything you want all to yourself to do, all
the spying, all the craziness that is. That's insane, And
that's really a thing that happened on a podcast out

(57:50):
there in the world.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
So many weird.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Comments happen because people who go on shows think that
they can't go viral, and then the rest of us
get to talk about it no matter what show it's on,
because it went viral.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
All right, this is interesting to me.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
This is a discussion about the big beautiful bill that
passed the House.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Of course, it is not yet past the Senate.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
There's I think a lot of assumption that that's going
to happen and the president will sign it into law.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
I think Hillary.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Clinton and others are tweeting about all the terrible, horrible
things they think are in it. One of the most
significant reactions, though, and even for some conservatives, for some
Republican politicians, has been that they think there's going to
be a increase in our debt, that there is going
to be a lot of spending and a lot of
bad decision making as far as that's concerned. Well, in

(58:39):
order to try to quell potentially quell those concerns, the
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant went on Fox News and talked
about how this could actually not be as bad as
you think it is, because we have this other plan
to make money. We want to make more money, We
want to have more success, more things created here. And

(59:00):
when you do that, if you proportionately raise your debt
to your GDP, then you're you're kind of doing okay,
or even if you do better with one than the
negative one, you're doing even better than okay. Something that
Democrats never do. When they increase deficit and debt spending.
They do not find a way to make money elsewhere.

(59:21):
In fact, they're usually also losing money while spending more money.

Speaker 6 (59:23):
But here we go moment there this bill adds trillions
to our debt.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
How is that acceptable to this administration?

Speaker 20 (59:31):
Well, again, you're referring to the CBO scoring, I believe,
which is tenure scoring and it's DC style scoring. So
we think that we can both grow the economy and
control the debt. And what's important, Bill, is that the
economy grows faster than the debt. So what I would

(59:53):
tell your viewers to focus on is what I'm focused on,
is what Secretary Yellen was focused on, is what is
the total debt to GD because we can grow our
way out of this. That if we change the growth
trajectory of the country of the economy, then we will
stabilize our finances and grow our way out of this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
All right, here's the thing, first and foremost, don't mention
Janet Yellen when you're trying to make a point that
makes me believe you and hear you more. Janet Yellen
is most famous to me for saying that inflation would
transitory a ton of times when it absolutely was not,
and she probably knew it was not and she was
lying to us. But the thing that is simplistically true
from an economic standpoint is what he's saying, you can

(01:00:35):
grow yourself out.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
But how do you actually do that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
You have to create a lot more stuff here, and
the Trump administration is actively trying to do that. You've
probably heard today about how Apple faces unique, specific tariffs
to its company if it doesn't create more products here
in the United States. Now, a lot of people will
say this is government overreach, And I wouldn't totally disagree
with you when those sort of things happen, when the

(01:00:59):
government does everything again to invade the space of our
private sector. And yet at the same time, if I'm
standing even further back and thinking to myself, does this
net benefit the United States and the American people, the
answer is yes. When Democrats do things like go after
oil and gas and they tell you the benefits for

(01:01:20):
the world, and the benefit is fighting climate change, and
it doesn't make your life better. It makes your life
uniquely worse and substantially worse. And then you realize even
more so that if the US does things alone, even
the climate fearmonger people out there who tell you everything's terrible,
I won't say we made a difference, won't say anything
got better because things are more expensive simplistically in the

(01:01:43):
United States. And yeah, Trump today actually also made news
President Trump because he's going to go ahead and pull
back restrictions on nuclear power, So we're going to have
more energy and more cheap power here in the United States,
which is going to make our lives better in the
short term. But all of that is so interesting to
me and so valuable to talk about and have appropriate
discussion about. Because sure, on paper, every time the government

(01:02:07):
maps out a plan, they can tell you how they
get from point A to point B, and it winds
up being good for all of us. But there's a
whole lot of times where you look at the paper,
you see the squiggly line that's gone all over the place,
and you go, yeah, that's not gonna happen. Every part
of this is terrible and not going to happen. But
the truth is that if we do simply enhance the
amount of things we create here, we can have a

(01:02:30):
surplus of product going throughout the world instead of a deficit,
and that would be a good thing, especially since our
country is so uniquely qualified and skilled in the world
of the things it creates, in the world of the
people who can create things here, and also in just
the world of the amount of wealth and money we
have to buy our own stuff. If we make our
own stuff, that would all be great, that would all

(01:02:52):
make our lives better. And it's a thing that used
to exist in our society that doesn't exist anywhere near
as much as it should, which again is part of
the way that the rest of the world has subsidized
their growth based on our back.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
All right, let's play this.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
This is interesting, totally out of the world of economics,
and I should probably get an economic expert at some
point on to discuss this stuff with me when I
fill in on this show. But Jennifer Lawrence said something
that went very viral a few days ago about how
kids have changed her life. And the reason I want
to play this audio is this is a core tenant,

(01:03:29):
a core belief of the Conservative Party of your friend
who votes conservative, or you whoever you know that votes
on a certain side of the aisle, and in fact,
obviously you know yourself. This is the reason that a
lot of people say that when you're a young person
eighteen nineteen twenty, just start voting, you're sucked into the

(01:03:50):
narrative of the left that tells you that if you
have a heart, you need to vote Democratic. But as
you get older, if you have a brain, you wind
up voting conservatively because you buy a home and see
how much advantage the government takes of you for owning
a home or even just having a job. And then eventually,
when you have kids, you again notice how the things
you want to fight for and the things that are

(01:04:11):
important to you shift and change, and how the side
that actually is focused on that isn't the side you
thought it was. If we had a lot more of
this in Hollywood, and then a lot more admission of
how some of the things that are called radical by
the left come from this foundation of caring about family,
caring about certain things, we'd be so much more capable

(01:04:34):
of coexisting and enjoying things like Hollywood. Again, you just
need more of this sentiment and then the one two
three step of what it provides to a lot of
the discussions we have where people retreat to their corners,
but here we go.

Speaker 21 (01:04:47):
Having children changes everything and changes your whole life. It's
brutal and incredible. And so not only do they go
into every decision of you know, if I'm working, where
I'm working, when I'm working, they've taught me. I mean,

(01:05:14):
I didn't know that I could feel so much, and
my job is has a lot to do with emotion,
and they've opened up the world to me.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Look all the time, I'll say this all the time.
There are certain things you can understand until you experience them,
and once you experience them, you will always understand them
differently because now you get the thing that you couldn't
no matter how much you envisioned yourself in that space,
you couldn't get there until you actually experience it. She
is basically saying that, and saying that on some of

(01:05:53):
the most profound things that happen in people's individual lives.
And of course, of course most people agree with this. Now,
the reason that this is such an important thing in
the world of political discussion is because of how much
this is at the bottom level, the basement level, the
foundational level of a lot of the beliefs that come
from it, that exist within a side of the aisle

(01:06:15):
that mainstream media often calls nuts, an insane and radical.
This is a core part of that family, faith, freedom,
all things that people care about. Patriot Talk nine twenty.
By the way, an affiliate of the Danish show that
I have a show on, I believes in those things too.
It's actually the tagline of their station. But I think

(01:06:36):
it's just very interesting again that Jennifer Lawrence is saying this,
and that so many people on a side of the
aisle that she's not on embraced it and played it
and liked it because they never even hear this from Hollywood.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
And how simplistic it is to just admit this. I
get to us a.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Step closer to at least having a conversation without you
refusing to listen, even if you don't wind up agreeing.
All right, quick break a lot more. This is Craig
Collins filling in on the Danish.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
That's right, it's time for Florida Man. This is the
Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in thrilled
to be with you. First Florida Man is Olivier Riu,
who is a seven foot nine Florida basketball player for
the Florida Gators. He didn't actually play this season, even
though they won the championship. He was redshirted because he's
developing some of the skills that might be lacking fundamentally

(01:08:40):
and a guy that's seven foot nine inches tall, but
they expect him to be very good next year for
that team. He met President Trump, Florida man in the
White House, seven foot nine, hanging out and having a conversation.
Here's how Trump reacted to the giant human that stood
next to him for a sec.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
Beautiful looking guys, I think, come on over good he is?

Speaker 9 (01:09:07):
He a good player.

Speaker 11 (01:09:10):
Florida Pink's advantage.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
What a big advantage that's going to be in life.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
Trump is not short and his son is not short,
and still Olivier Riu is gigantic.

Speaker 1 (01:09:21):
He's huge.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
He's actually the kind of dude who can cut down
the championship nets without getting on the ladder at all,
which is something you might have seen after Florida won
the national championship.

Speaker 1 (01:09:30):
If you were watching, you're like, who's that giant dude?
They weren't playing.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
That's that's this guy out of Canada who is hopefully
going to be good, but at least going to be
ridiculous to see regardless for that school. All right, other
things out there, as far as Florida man stories go,
a Florida man was accused of setting fire to a
strip club and throwing a urine filled bottle at a
police officer. This is the kind of story that only

(01:09:54):
comes out of Florida. It actually is coming out of Tampa.
The Pink Pony Showgirls strip club in Tampa had a
crazy thing happen at five am on a Wednesday. You
feel like anybody who's hanging out at Pink Pony Showgirls
at five am on a Wednesday is the kind of
person that might make certain life decisions.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
This guy's name is Arvin. He's twenty nine years old.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
He did as I said, set fire to the building
because he was upset and experience he had inside the club,
and he then started to throw urinated empty bottles that
he had urinated in at officers as they were trying
to arrest him. For being an insane, horrible, terrible person
who does horrible, terrible things and makes all the other
people that were at Pink Pony Showgirls at five am upset.

(01:10:42):
I don't know how many people that is, and I
don't know what the plan is to respond to it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
But I feel like this isn't over.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
I feel like Moore's coming out of this story and
none of it's going to be good and all of
it's going to be terrible. There's a simple rule that
nothing good happens after like two am, and it's usually true,
and I feel it's especially true in Tampa on a Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
All Right, another story out there, one last one for
a Florida man.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
A Florida woman actually struck a man in a maga
hat at a Largo park before battering an officer. Sometimes
women seem to think that the rules don't apply them.
I guess Laura Elizabeth Garrett, who's thirty three, thought she
was allowed to get mad at a seventy year old
seventy two year old dude in a maga hat. And so,
after a confrontation and Laura demanding that he think what

(01:11:28):
she thinks, no matter what it is they were talking about,
I'm sure it was a lot of stuff, she hit
him and she attacked him and that's going to cause
some issues. And then when the police got there, she
also attacked them. Which is probably going to compound the situation.
It will be unsurprising to many people, but Laura has
blue hair, entirely blue hair that looks sort of ridiculous.

(01:11:51):
I don't know that she went the expensive route in
getting it dyed that color. But she's also someone who's
obviously very much of a certain side of the political
which is not common in Florida. By the way, I
feel like Laura lives her life fighting with a lot
of people a lot of the time.

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
I lived in Florida for a few months.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
I had planned to live there Logger, but I lived
there for a few months and then eventually I moved
to Texas in Houston, where I am now, and I
remember one of the first things I saw when I
got there was a dude shirtless driving a motorcycle with
a tump Trump flag attached to the back of it,
just waving in the wind, and that dude was feeling
good about himself. And I think it was like two

(01:12:30):
or three am, since I was driving from somewhere else
when we were relocating to Florida for a bit, which
is a story for another day, but I remember seeing
that and thinking to myself, Yeah, I'm in Florida. I'm
in the place that Dana talks about a lot on
the radio, and I wasn't sad about it. Laura, this
person in this story probably is quick break a lot more.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
Greg Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

Speaker 7 (01:12:51):
Hey, folks, So I want to share something important that
every American should be aware of. We're seeing a lot
of economic uncertainty right now. You have the national at
rising global trade tensions impacting markets and tariffs with higher
prices on the stuff that everybody uses every day. It's
not about panic, it's about preparation. So this is why
I partnered with gold Co, the top rated precious metals company,

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. So much stuff
out there in the world to talk about, and yet
one piece of viral audio that I just love, love
it today is Robert F. Kennedy Junior sitting down with
CNN for a chat that has an epic, epic back
and forth in it. So Caitlin Collins seems to think

(01:14:10):
she's got Robert F.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
Kennedy Junior.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
She's trapped him, She's concocted the perfect plan in order
to get him to say a thing that she thinks
is uniquely embarrassing, because how dare anyone be even remotely
humble as a human being whatsoever, especially someone in charge
of our health as a country, or at least in
charge of directing what we do with our health as
the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services. And

(01:14:34):
so as this back and forth goes, the reasonableness of
Robert F. Kennedy Junior and the mildness and how he
reacts to the stupidity of this challenge is it's incredible.
It's like, this is the kind of stuff they should
teach in debate classes.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
I think here we go that you.

Speaker 5 (01:14:49):
Said that people should not take your medical advice. Yeah,
that's your position.

Speaker 6 (01:14:55):
Yeah, absolutely, people should not be taking medical advice. I'm
somebody who it is not a physician, but they and
they should also be skeptical about any medical advice. They
need to do their own research. You know, you're a mom.
If you're a mom, you do your own research on
your baby carriage, on your baby bottles, on your baby formula.

Speaker 5 (01:15:15):
They don't have medical degrees, obviously, if you're a mom
and you're looking at what science has been tested, they do.
They trust their doctors and their pedia real quick.

Speaker 1 (01:15:22):
I have to stop it, you know what.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
To the left, doing your own research sounds like it
sounds like we're proposing that they run the studies themselves.
That we're saying that everyday people got to go out
there in the world create studies that are perfect and
could be published in medical journals throughout the country, and
in those studies, make sure to examine whether or not
things work. That's their version that or you're just a
moron and an idiot and you couldn't possibly read the

(01:15:45):
opinions of six or seven people and decide which one
you believe most, or research the people to decide which
one you believe most, or even more so, maybe go
to a few doctors and have conversations with them as
part of doing your own research. There's all different kinds
of ways to do that, but I love that to
Caitlin Collins, what Robert F. Kennedy Junior just said is,
you know, break out the beakers, get all the stuff

(01:16:06):
you need to do the testing yourself people, otherwise you
won't know for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:16:09):
Tricians.

Speaker 6 (01:16:10):
You know, one of the responsibilities of living in a democracy,
where decisions and every sort of expert are subject to
all kinds of biases. One of the responsibilities of living
in a democracy is to do your own research and
to make up your own mind.

Speaker 5 (01:16:27):
So that's your message to mo ob serve to anyone.

Speaker 6 (01:16:29):
Is to your researches, say, be skeptical of authority. My
father told me that when I was a young kid.
People in authority lie, and we've seen a lot of
that in our country, and people in the media lie.
And people need to make their own judgments and be
skeptical and maintain their capacity for critical thinking. Amen was
shut down during COVID, and the media was complicit in that.

Speaker 5 (01:16:53):
Disagree on that last part to agree.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
I love how she had to get that in, by
the way, where he says that we need to have
a capacity for critical think A lot of that was tried,
was attempted to and actually successfully shut down during COVID,
and media played a huge role in that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
She's like, I don't agree on that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
I'm incredible and everything I did and everything media did
was amazing, even if we actively didn't tell people things
that were true and instead trusted the government to be
giving us the only version of the truth, which in
fact it was not by any study that we have now.
But I digress as I say that I love this.
This is so good because it should not be remotely controversial,

(01:17:31):
and it will be that anyone in our society encourages
you to be a critical thinker that utilizes the freedom
of information that exists in our country to go look
for information that is not remotely If you said that
to a founding father, they'd be like, great, no matter
who they were. That's the core of what we want
in the United States of America. People that feel like

(01:17:53):
they can get the truth on their own by looking
for it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:56):
However they look.

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
And again, if you want to go ahead and break
out the turn it into like an episode of Breaking Bad,
just make sure that you don't get arrested and do
a bunch of years a hard time for whatever test
you're doing. But I love every part of this, and
again I love the response by Robert F.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
Kennedy Jr.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
Because if he got madder, if he acted crazier, that
would be the narrative. And I'm sure the simple clip
of you're telling the American people not to trust your
medical advice will be used a bunch of places and
all of the explanation part will be removed from it,
even though that's the part that actually matters. And they
want the simple quote so they can say that the
person in charge of health in the United States says

(01:18:35):
you shouldn't trust him at all, even though that's not
what happened. But nonetheless, again, it's one of my favorite
pieces of audio I think I've heard in a while,
and also tremendously interesting when you think about the impact
Trump has had on our country simply by who he's
chosen to put in positions of authority within the government,
within his cabinet, including Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who thought

(01:18:58):
he was a Democrat of his life and now realizes
that the Democratic Party has absolutely left him behind. All right,
I got to play this audio two. This is from
ABC twelve WISN and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is footage which
I know on radio you can't see, but also a
description of the footage on the television and a local

(01:19:19):
news team that I'm guessing is always on your side
or you know, in the heart of the city, or
whatever the tag might be for them.

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
But it's Judge Dugan.

Speaker 2 (01:19:28):
You might remember that name as someone that got arrested,
and all of media said that Trump was imprisoning his
political enemies, that he was essentially doing the thing that
Democrats were trying to do to him, and that it's
horrible and terrible, even though a whole lot of those
media outlets cheered it on as they hoped Trump would
go to jail. Now we're seeing actual evidence of the

(01:19:49):
thing this person is accused of doing, meaning it's fairly
likely she gets found guilty of this crime now based
on this information. But we're seeing it for the first time,
which essentially means that the places that want to cover
up these sort of things hope you forgot about this
story and aren't paying attention anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:20:08):
Will the actual truth breaks that it definitely.

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
Was someone deserving of being accused of something bad because
she absolutely did it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:17):
Based on this video, here we go.

Speaker 12 (01:20:19):
For the first time, we're seeing Judge Hannah Dugan outside
her courtroom April eighteenth, wearing her black robes, appearing to
confront several federal agents there to arrest Eduardo Flores Ruiz, I,
am Milwaukee man and Mexican national, charged locally with three
counts of domestic battery. This video, released by Milwaukee County
through an open records request, is part of the evidence

(01:20:39):
in the case against Judge Dugan, who's charged with obstructing
a federal investigation concealing Flores Ruiz, allowing him to leave
her courtroom by a different door after sending the agents
to speak to the chief Judge. Flores Ruiz, dressed in
black with his attorney. He's seen in several of the
videos leaving by that other door, one prosecutor say was
used by jurors and not open to the public. For

(01:21:02):
the first time, we saw judge Hannah do.

Speaker 2 (01:21:05):
Yeah, shocking, right crazy, that that's something that actually happened,
that actually occurred in our society, and that most of
media told us this was definitely not true. This definitely
was not real. And it's the beginning of you know,
Trump is a dictator, only to eventually find out that
it one hundred percent absolutely is perfectly accurate. Right, There's
another thing I want to play, and it's probably audio

(01:21:25):
that I'm overly kind of intrigued by. It's just it's
weird and I can't help it, you know, And actually
i'll save it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:32):
It's it's audio.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
Michelle Obama at a podcast that she recently a comment
she made. We'll get to it in about twenty minutes,
but it is audio of what she thinks women that
are single would do if they find out the person
they want to date also has an Airbnb listing available.
That's all I'll tell you for now. I'll save it
because I've been talking about it too much. But also
play this. This is Jade Vance, the Vice president, speaking

(01:21:57):
to the Naval Academy's graduation ceremony and demonstrating why people
in positions of authority who have unique you know, reverence
and connections to military wind up being so important and
why we need more leaders who have military backgrounds or
who have you know, versions of understanding of the sacrifice

(01:22:20):
that men and women make and the importance of things like.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
Memorial Day as our leaders.

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
This is something we need more of, not people like Walls,
who run away and hide when they're supposed to be
serving our country and then claim things that didn't they
didn't do as stolen valor claims that make everybody go nuts.
But here's Jade Vance at the Naval Academy's graduation ceremony.

Speaker 22 (01:22:44):
For all of about one hundred and twenty days and
this summer, I will celebrate my.

Speaker 8 (01:22:49):
Forty first birthday.

Speaker 22 (01:22:52):
But I have never in those forty one years been
so proud as I am today to honor you, to
celebrate you, and to congratulate you on a job well done. Now,

(01:23:17):
I'm sure some of you share my politics and some
of you don't.

Speaker 23 (01:23:21):
But I know today I speak for a grateful nation
when I say we are rooting for you, Naval Academy
class of twenty five. We are proud of you, and
we depend on you.

Speaker 22 (01:23:34):
Congratulations, godspeed, and do great work.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
A freaking men out everything he just said there. And honestly,
with Memorial Day coming up on Monday, the fact that
people in our society all the time say that they're
willing to put their life on the line for our protection,
our freedom, our safety, it is so important to think
about it, remember it, and there's a lot of ways
you can do that. By the way, you can absolutely

(01:24:00):
tell someone thank you for your service. You can absolutely
honor those who were lost, either people that you know
in your own family, people in your community by simply
going to things. If you've gotten to a military funeral before,
even one where you didn't know someone, but you saw
a procession happening and you decided to attend part of it,
you know how moving they are. You know how horrible

(01:24:23):
some of the family impact and loss of individuals is,
especially for those who lose their lives defending our country.
But because of that, again, you also should have an
appreciation for what these men and women do and what
happens in the world all the time to these individuals.
And honestly, another thing I'll recommend is an honor flight.

(01:24:45):
There's a bunch of honor flights throughout the country. You
should show up at the welcome home to one in
your community if you have one, and just feel what
it's like for these veterans that are being honored at
the Honor Flight to come back from a day trip
or a weekend trip to Washington, d C. Where they
get to see all the monuments to the wars that
our country has participated in, and then they come home

(01:25:07):
to their community and usually it's a heroes welcome back,
and that will move you.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
That's just one of a couple things.

Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
I'm sure there's a lot of other worthy organizations you
can work with and experience, but that's my recommendation. Do
something like that, tied to maybe celebrating Memorial Day and
honoring those Immemorial Day and again, very happy that a
US Marine as our vice president and someone who says
things like that. All right, quick break, a little bit
more coming up. This is Craig Collins filling in on

(01:25:34):
the day in.

Speaker 7 (01:25:34):
The show Our Friend's over at the burn a gun
burn agun b Yrna. Just so you understand how it's spelled.
I'm always going to tell people to carry I'm always
going to tell you to carry lead. And I have
zero issues at all whatsoever using the lethal force to
smack down a threat to me or my family. But
I understand also that not everyone wants you to be safe.
The people who pass these gun free zones and gun

(01:25:56):
control they don't care if you're a statistic. They don't
care about your family, they don't care if you live
or die. They just want to virtue signal about this stuff.
So this is where bernagun comes in, because they understand
certain places are disarming you legit, and you know, we're
big kids. I would love to be able to pick
and choose exactly where I go all the time, but
I can't. So as a result, you know a lot
of my friends have gone out and gotten the Bernegum right.
You always it's good to have a diversified weapons array.

(01:26:18):
You have blades, you have different calibers. With something like this,
when you are disarmed and you're not able to carry
in certain spaces, this comes in Clutch. It shoots chemical
irrit and projectiles that can deter threats from up to
fifty feet away. And instead of like one or two
rounds like a traditional taser or something, this is five rounds.
They have several different models, the cl which we'll be

(01:26:39):
talking about soon, but the SD. I have a lot
of friends that have gone out and gotten SD. They
have rifles in that. But I think you know, for
for this purpose, this is you know, the SD is
what you need to get, and that's what I would recommend.
There's no recoil at all whatsoever. And there's no background check.
This thing doesn't care about stupid gun free zone signs.
It's legal in all fifty states. No background checks, no permits,

(01:27:00):
it can be no waiting period. Ship right to your door,

Speaker 8 (01:27:10):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
That's right, it is time for the Quick five. This
is pretty funny. The Wiener five hundred. I was talking
about it a little bit earlier in the show. Today
we actually have the audio of the green flag drop
baby six Wiener mobiles. One iconic track, the Indianapolis five
hundred Motor Speedway. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is actually what
I should call it. And this is a real thing

(01:27:37):
that's going to happen every year. Now I believe here
we go. Okay, some things I already love about this,
and I know you can't see it because this is
radio and not you know, video, But I love the
fact that you're already hearing, like the dramatic music for

(01:27:58):
the spot they're creating for the Weenie five hundred, which
is incredible, and the history that they're saying will be
made as you hear cannons go off in the background. Hi, look,

(01:28:19):
this might be a gift just for me right now
that I'm watching, but it's a green flag to a
red flag symbol being dropped, and the wienermobiles coming out
of their parking spots and everything about it is epic.
So far, for just you, all I have done is
share the music, but you definitely will enjoy it. I
thank you for the producer, Steven, for sending it to
me because it is hilarious and you should check out

(01:28:41):
the Weenie five hundred in the near future on television
throughout the country. I imagine it's going to be a
cherished event that we all celebrate, along with the Indianapolis
five hundred, which is uniquely fun. By the way, if
you've never been to an IndyCar race at all in
your life, and you contemplate going to just one, you
should go to the Indianapolis five hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
That's the thing you should do. You should fly into Indianapolis.

Speaker 2 (01:29:04):
You should listen to a Dana affiliate WIBC in India
if you go there, and then as you're hanging out
and listening to the radio, you should also definitely enjoy
yourself some Indy five hundred time, because it's going to
be an incredible, incredible experience. All right, some other quick
things as far as the Quick five go. The last
pennies will be minted next year. President Trump said he's
done with the penny, and so we are, in fact

(01:29:25):
done with the penny. It costs us quite a bit
of money to make pennies. Fifty six million dollars a
year is the cost to us.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
So why do that? Why bother to keep creating them?

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
A part of the reason we make so many is
people just throw them out, so now they won't exist
at all. The bad news Nichols also cost us money.
I'm making nichols actually cost us fourteen cents each time,
So that's a.

Speaker 1 (01:29:46):
Lost leader two.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
At some point, maybe we'll just have everything in those
varieties be digital only. You only have digital versions of
pennies and coins and nickels and stuff. I'm sure it
would make people mad. I'm not telling you that it's
it's a great idea or a great solve to our problem,
but it certainly is an issue if all of these
different types of currencies cost way too much to be
created based on the thing they're being created on. We

(01:30:10):
can go to paper versions of quarters and nickels and
dimes and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:30:14):
We can try.

Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
It probably won't be any more valuable, but darn it,
it's a thing to consider.

Speaker 1 (01:30:18):
Other things out there that I thought were interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:30:21):
Before we take a quick break, there is this audio
of Aaron Paul where he talks about the fanciness of
his own life and now he books private concerts in
his living room because he's a famous person with a
lot of money. When he wants to see a band,
he just calls him and says, hey, can you do
a gig on Thursday at my house. This is part

(01:30:41):
of his discussion about that.

Speaker 24 (01:30:43):
We've been doing these shows for North of a Deck gag,
but the last one actually one of my favorite bands,
Cigarettes after Sex. No one has phones or cameras. Everyone's
just in the moment, and honestly, like ninety percent of
the time people say, yeah, I'm down.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
That's great.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
I'd love to go to your home and in your
living room watch a famous band perform music that sounds awesome. Dude,
all right, quick break a lot more. Greig Gallan's filling
in on the Danish show Our Partners that.

Speaker 7 (01:31:11):
He'll bring you. This is illustrious program. It's our Friends,
It's super Beats, the super Beats, the Superberine.

Speaker 15 (01:31:21):
Is.

Speaker 7 (01:31:21):
It's the new product that you can actually now get
at Sam's Club and you have the superb Beats Hart
choose there as well, but the Superberine product at Sam's
Club unique berberine that's been used a lot of people
are talking about metabolic health and the support benefits of berberine.
But you can't just like buy any like street berberine.
You're not gonna be like always Sunday in Philadelphia. Let's
get some of that good old Bridge berbering. You need

(01:31:42):
like actual quality ingredients and that's what this delivers. Superberine
the one that what that they use with Supermarine is
clinically studied to deliver nearly ten times higher absorption than
standard berberine. So this means that you have highly concentrated,
easy to swallow capsules. Then you just take one daily
because of the concentration. Now, if you are concerned about

(01:32:03):
burberine and GI distress, do not worry, do not fret
because the unique berberine in the superbarine they use includes
grape seed extract for greater tolerability. So it's now at
Sam's Clubs. You can go and get your all big
fountain drink and walk around and get your superberine to
support the healthy metabolism and bloods.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
Regret.

Speaker 7 (01:32:19):
It's my favorite thing to do is get a big
fountaindrink and walk around with my cart and it's less
for less than a dollar a day. Plus you can
get five dollars off the super Beat's hert shoose through
June First one quick stop to support your heart health

Not Able to catch all three hours of the Dana Show,
subscribe to the full podcast and get news and laughs
delivered in short, easy to digest episodes ideal for your
busy lifestyle on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:32:50):
This is the Dana Show.

Speaker 2 (01:32:52):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you, a bunch of stuff to talk about, and
this is just like uniquely weird. I can't get over
this audio. It amuses me a lot more than probably
it should. But darnk, that's fine. Michelle Obama was doing
an interview and she said something that has terrified me.

Speaker 1 (01:33:10):
Not that I'll ever be victim to this.

Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
I'm a happily married man and my wife has full
access to my home at all times, of course because
she lives here too, So it's.

Speaker 1 (01:33:18):
Not like I'm afraid.

Speaker 2 (01:33:19):
I don't want anyone to hear this topic and be like,
whoa Craig Collins is hiding some things in his house.
But Michelle Obama said during an interview that if you
were a single woman and you found out the guy
you were interested rents out his home on Airbnb, she's
the kind of person that would rent it to see
what's going on in this guy's life. And that I

(01:33:40):
find to be uniquely stockery, kind of creepy. That if
you were maybe about to go on a date with
a lovely young lady and the first thing you found
out is you look down at your phone, is your
Airbnb has been booked, and that that person wants to
stay a night in the house. And I'm sure they'd
be a little bit more secretive of it and not
actually go that road, and I'll probably have somebody else
book it and then be in there. But I think

(01:34:02):
going through the medicine cabinet, all that stuff is part
of the plan. Anyway, here's the audio. Fox News talked
about this and played the clip or Michelle Obama's contemplating
what she would do if she were single and found
out Brian, the guy they're interviewing, had a home on Airbnb.

Speaker 18 (01:34:18):
Her latest comment to Airbnb CEO is certainly raising some
li brosse watch this.

Speaker 13 (01:34:27):
You know, I have to say, Brian, if I'm a
single girl out there and I find out that Brian
Cheskey is single and I can like stay in his house,
you don't.

Speaker 14 (01:34:40):
You don't have to.

Speaker 1 (01:34:43):
He's have you ever heard try to set me up before?

Speaker 19 (01:34:48):
So yeah, I'm very I'm very invested in Brian's love life.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
So look, the thing that people are reacting to that
I'm very invested in Brian's love life thing is adding
to conspiracy theories or whatever you want to call them,
that there's not exactly happiness in the household for Barack.

Speaker 1 (01:35:05):
Obama and Michelle Obama. I don't care about that as much.

Speaker 2 (01:35:08):
That's not the part that intrigues me, to be honest,
I really don't give much of a crap about if
they're in a happy relationship or not.

Speaker 1 (01:35:16):
I don't know if I'm supposed to.

Speaker 2 (01:35:18):
It's not actually a thing I think about all that
often for any politicians. I'm not hoping badness on people.
It's not in my brain a lot. But it's that
first part. It's the idea that if you found out
that the person you're interested in rented out their house
on Airbnb, that you'd want to be in it when
they're not home. That is terrifying. There's something about that
that's I would absolutely think you would not want to

(01:35:40):
go on another date if that's a move that someone
pulled on you, and no matter when or how they
did it, no matter when this occurred, this seems like
the kind of thing that's just absolutely crazy.

Speaker 12 (01:35:50):
All Right.

Speaker 1 (01:35:51):
I have a piece of audio.

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
I have not screened this audio to make sure that
it's it's playable on the radio. But as a couple
of friends of mine in another show often say, you
got to risk it for the biscuit. But this might
be a warning for producer Steven that we're risking it
for the biscuit. This is a viral piece of video
that just popped up of a Democratic politician saying they
hadn't slept in twenty seven hours because they were fighting

(01:36:14):
the good fight. I'm not saying that I expect this
to have naughty language in it, but if you're awake
for twenty seven hours, you never know.

Speaker 1 (01:36:19):
Once again, I'm risking it for the biscuit.

Speaker 25 (01:36:22):
Just got back from the Capitol. I haven't slept in
twenty seven hours. Democrats fought all night, all day, and
into the morning today to try to stop the Republicans
from yanking healthcare away from nearly fourteen million people, from
making the largest nutrition assistance cuts in American history, all
in service to making rich people richer.

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
She's been asleep, She's been awake for twenty seven hours.
It looks like it, by the way. She's in like
a bathrobe and stuff, and her eyes are kind of
like blinky and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (01:36:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:36:53):
She's obviously playing this up quite a bit as well,
which is so stupid. But here's the other thing, and
I've reacted to the before, and I'll react to it
again on the show. The narrative that the biggest impact
that the Big Beautiful Bill will have negatively on our
society will be all the ways that it's pulling support
from tons and tons of Americans. And yes, there's a

(01:37:14):
bunch of projected savings in the budget for things like
SNAP programs or things like Medicare programs, But if you're
being truly fair about how you discuss that, truly honest
and fair, you're not talking about money that's just strictly
being taken away. You're talking about money that is creating
more hoops to jump through for people to get it.

(01:37:36):
And the design of those hoops is to prevent people
from misusing our system. Two of the biggest changes that
will be happening for both SNAP and medicare the age
in which someone who is receiving these kind of benefits
will go up from in the fifties to in the sixties,
for which you have to be a working adult if
you are able bodied, if there's no restrictive reason that

(01:37:57):
you're not working a job and you get some kind
of gig and then still a need assistance, you would
qualify for it under trumps. So it's not that it's
you have no access to it. It's that you have
to do some things in your own life to give
yourself the additional ability to have that enhance how you're
you know, living your life, or what you're doing to

(01:38:19):
make ends meet to get by. That's one aspect of
it that really matters. The other one is that if
you do remove waste, fraud, and abuse in our society
in all kinds of ways, which democrats even agree with,
depending on what the topic is, then you definitely save
the government money and that should be a good thing.
And when you don't do that, when you don't put

(01:38:40):
a prevention mechanism in place to stop people from misusing systems,
they do it, and they do.

Speaker 1 (01:38:46):
It more and more and more.

Speaker 2 (01:38:48):
And I know I'll get some kind of anger at
least some places for saying it this way, but there's
no other way to say it. If you have kids
and you give your kids the ability to not follow
a rule one time or two times, there's a chance
that they're never going to want to follow it again.
So the more you give in, the more people who

(01:39:09):
you give in to decide that now's the opportunity to
take advantage. So simply creating a work requirement for some
of the most generous support systems that exist within our
country is not the same as fully removing those systems
from our government's payrolls. And that's how it's going to
be represented by politicians and by mainstream media that the

(01:39:31):
money was just taken away. It's projected to not be there,
but it's projected because of waste, fraud, and abuse, not
because people who are deserving of some of this assistance
won't be able to get it. That's just a point
to put out there. I know you might still not
be happy that there's a path to still get these
things if you have other issues with certain programs, but nonetheless,
I think it's important to at least have a conversation

(01:39:53):
honestly when talking about this stuff. All right, one other
thing I do want to play before we take a
break and shift gears, because darn it, we can't do
serious stuff the entire show, and this isn't all that serious,
but it is amusing. President Trump is such a unique
person that there are times when he'll say or do
something even if you hate the guy, even if you
think he's the worst politician that's ever existed on the planet,

(01:40:15):
where you can't help but admit that was kind of funny.
It just happened there that was amusing. So he's sitting
and talking to the Health commissioners. He's talking the Health
commission excuse me, and he's talking about how he'd like
to see the price of medicine go down, something that
almost all of the United States would like to see.
There are not many Americans who make the argument, who
don't work for pharmaceutical companies, that we should have these

(01:40:36):
prices continue to be ridiculously high compared to the rest
of the world. And so as Trump is talking to them,
and as he's calling some of the individuals on that
commission out by name, he also says something that only
Donald Trump, as far as someone in an office like
this would say, or anyone in general, like sometimes the
comments he makes your friend at the end of the

(01:40:57):
bar doesn't even say them. Not that that's bad, it's
just certainly unique about him, and I think it's probably
what gets people to do more of the stuff he
wants them to do.

Speaker 11 (01:41:05):
I'd like to ask Oz in particular, because you and
I know each other. He's a very tough umbra, this one.
He's tough as hell. And so if you can lead
the group, and it's not going to be easy, you're
gonna have to get in and you're gonna have to fight.
If you do it, you can have within a period
of weeks, you can have drug courts that drop like
a rock. Okay, So you as a group, I have
great confidence and if you don't do it, I am

(01:41:27):
firing every single one.

Speaker 1 (01:41:29):
Is that last part.

Speaker 2 (01:41:30):
It's that if you don't do this, if drug prices
don't go down, I'm firing every last one of you.
And it's set as a joke and everybody in the
lure room laughs. But it's the kind of thing that
Trump also kind of means. And if you had another politician,
say a Biden, who probably would forget halfway through his
sentence what he was talking about Obama, anyone try to
make a similar joke to that, it would be very different.

(01:41:51):
There would be no undercurrent of threat that exists there.
That absolutely is a byproduct of the way that Trump
is talking about those sort of things that again, as
I said, makes him uniquely effective when he's negotiating with
other countries in the world, when he's talking about a
wide variety of issues, or in this case even threatening
not just people getting fired on a commission in the government,

(01:42:13):
but he's also going to add tariffs potentially to Apple's
products or the things they use and the things they
import into our country to make these products if they
don't start making iPhones here in the United States. I
think it's something like a fifty or a sixty percent tariff,
And that actually seems like a good thing too, because again,
more production, more creation here will lower the amount of

(01:42:35):
trade deficits we have with the rest of the world,
will increase our GDP. We'll do all kinds of things
that help us be a more wealthy country, a country
that should be ridiculously wealthy, or we should have a
huge advantage if I'm trying to sound like Trump for
a second, that we simply don't have because we've subsidized
the rest of the world for a very long time.
And that is one of a couple things that is

(01:42:57):
absolutely at the forefront of Trump's his policies and trying
to pull that apart, and it certainly is aggressive, and
certainly people can have problems with some of the things
that are happening now, but if the end result is
the success that they're hoping it is, I don't think
I'm going to look back on this time period all
that mad if we wind up in the place that

(01:43:17):
we could be in in the very near future. All right,
quick break, A little bit more coming up. Craig Collins
filling in on The Dana Show.

Speaker 10 (01:43:25):
On the go and need a quick news fix with
a fun twist. Follow Dana's Absurd Truth podcast for bite
size and formative episodes perfect for your busy schedule on
Apple or wherever you get your podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:43:37):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. So many things
to talk about, so little time left to do it.
I do love a list of things that went viral
on the internet. Is sometimes I do enjoy even the simplicity.

Speaker 1 (01:43:52):
Of a list.

Speaker 2 (01:43:53):
These are all the top one hit wonders from the
two thousands, according to several people. I think Rollingstone dot
com among the places that rank these things. The number
one one hit wonder teenage teenage dirt Bag.

Speaker 1 (01:44:10):
I love that song. That's pretty great.

Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
Will of Ford made the list of number two, I
Want to Be Bad, Ja Kwan and Tipsy as number
four on this list. Excuse me, yeah, Number three was
will of Ford, number two Lipcloss, Little Mama, and number
five The Reason Hoopasnak. Now here's what's funny about this.
Since this is specific to the two thousands, I bet
you a whole lot of people have no idea what

(01:44:33):
most of these songs are, even though they're the biggest
hits of the two thousands. Because even like the one
hit wonder list that exists out there, just the fail
when you compare them by generation to one hit wonders
of say the eighties, the nineties, the seventies, any of those.

Speaker 1 (01:44:52):
Generation one hit wonders. It's just kind of sad.

Speaker 2 (01:44:55):
As a person who is in my late thirties almost
forties now and does fondly remember many songs in this list,
it also makes me realize how worse music was during
my generation than passed, because like come On, I Lean
is a top song from the eighties as a one
hit wonder, Take Me On Another one eight six seven,

(01:45:18):
five three oh nine by Tommy two Tone is a
one hit wonder that makes the list. If you're looking
at the eighties as far as like top ten songs go,
there just better.

Speaker 1 (01:45:27):
That music's just better.

Speaker 2 (01:45:28):
And I'm sure somebody's yelling at their radio that I
should do the seventies or the nineties as far as
one hit wonders go for how successful those songs are. Fine,
I'll relent, I'll be controlled by you. I never promised you.
A rose gard is a number one one hit wonder
from the seventies, five, ten, fifteen, twenty as another one

(01:45:50):
from the President's which is pretty great. Afternoon to Light,
Come On, that's been parodied and a few different things,
and that's pretty great there too. That's number three on
the list. All right now, Babyface Beach Baby a bunch
of songs that also make that list. So again, my
generation of music, while I enjoy this, probably has a
bunch of one hit wonders you've never heard of before.

(01:46:12):
But the reason is you by Hohopa Stank Come on,
that's not such a bad song, all right. A bunch
of people probably just yelled it definitely is. Let's move
on some other things out there. I just thought this
was interesting as well too. There's a couple big movies
being released this weekend, Mission Impossible, Final Reckoning I will
be in theaters starting today, and also the live action

(01:46:34):
version of Leelo and Stitch. Now, the reason I found
both of these interesting enough to talk about is I've
really enjoyed the Mission Impossible movies, and every time that
Tom Cruise decides to make a new one, he does
something dumber than the thing he did in the last one,
and it's awesome to watch. So I hope that this
one has a lot of stupid stunts that didn't need
to be done by Tom Cruise but were done anyway,

(01:46:56):
because it makes me appreciate the movie more.

Speaker 1 (01:46:59):
And then the other thing, Lee and Stitch.

Speaker 2 (01:47:00):
So this is a Disney live action thing, and of course,
after the horribleness of the last couple Disney live action
things that came out, and some of the crazy also
controversies that surrounded them, like snow White specifically and its
lead actress and the things she said about the terribleness
of the movie, the safest bet you might be able

(01:47:21):
to make is to put out Lee Lo and Stitch,
which was already the plan. And I don't know how
many live actions are coming after this, but I'm wondering
how successful this one's going to be because it's uniquely
appealing to kids. I think it's probably uniquely appealing to
parents too, because there's no wokeness that I'm aware of,
although maybe there is some sort of controversy. I would

(01:47:41):
be unsurprised if one does exist or did exist, but
I'm not familiar with it at all, because it's an
alien that comes from somewhere else that doesn't exist, that
looks like it's real in a movie about a little
kid who has the alien as a pet dog in
the movie. That's as far as I understand so far.
I know a few more things about Lee Loo and
Stitch Act actually, but I wonder if this will be

(01:48:02):
a template for Disney to not completely do away with
remaking things but instead kind of shy into the corner
where you can't possibly inject wokeism into these things. And
I say it will, realizing you totally still can't because
the Buzz Lightyear movie had woke elements to it, and
when you foss watch that first toy story back in
the day, I doubt you thought there would ever be

(01:48:24):
a woke version of Bud light Year in the future,
and yet one exists, so who knows.

Speaker 1 (01:48:29):
But I do think that's interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:48:31):
Tom Cruise verse an alien from space, which I think,
based on his belief in scientology, he kind of thinks
he is too. I will see who comes out the
victor there, and we'll see how well everything else does
at the box office. I do still go to movies.
I know a lot of people don't, but I do,
and I like going. And hopefully you go out and
check out something for the Memorial Day holiday. All right,

(01:48:53):
One super last thing, as far as the last topic
before we get out of here, half of people who
have a cleaning service in their home clean the house
before the cleaning service gets there. Half fifty three percent. Actually,
you pay someone to do work you don't want to do,
but then you do it so you're not embarrassed by
how hard the work is. Anybody doing this should stop.

(01:49:16):
The rest of us can laugh at you. All right,
this is it.

Speaker 1 (01:49:18):
I'm out.

Speaker 2 (01:49:19):
Dana's back after the holidays. Craig Collins filling in on
