(00:00):
This is the Dana Show. Myname is Craig Collins, filling in,
thrilled to be here with you forthe day. And actually I'll be back
again tomorrow, and then Dana isback next week. Lots and lots of
things out there in the world todiscuss, including an absolutely awful song from
the Stars, some Star Wars TVshow or something that's out there. I'm
(00:22):
going to play that audio a littlebit later on. Let's go to this
first debate. Everybody's talking about what'sgoing to be happening in the debate about
a week from now. The Presidentof the United States is hold up a
camp, David probably being prepped overand over again on the most basic of
things, and then from time totime maybe you shot up with amphetamines or
(00:43):
other stuff and then given practice roundsof said debate. But let's play this
audio. This is CBS News preppingus for the shocks, the owz,
the craziness that's going to happen aweek from today. But I'm also told
that we should expect some surprises aswell, because this is such a critical
performance for President Biden, not onlyon the content but on his physical performance.
(01:07):
Yeah, if he says words right, or if he says words wrong,
if things go terrible, which alot of people are expecting. It
is interesting to think that in thefirst debate last year, or excuse me,
not last year, last cycle,so twenty twenty, you had Trump
interrupting Biden a lot, and peoplesaying I think even recently that Trump even
regrets how often he jumped in.But I would think you'd want to do
(01:30):
it a lot. I know they'regoing to cut off the microphones and make
it impossible, but that would rattlethe current president more than anything else would.
Is just throwing him off a littlebit. So we'll see if that
happens. We'll see what else happens. I saw that It looks like Biden's
plan, at least according to some, is to lean into January sixth,
which will be annoying to a lotof people that don't care about that anymore.
(01:53):
I don't think a lot of Americansput that high on their list any
longer. And Biden, when hedoes that might back from Trump about well
Hunter and all the stuff Hunter's beengoing through. Biden may also target Trump
for being a quote unquote convicted felon, which is a sort of ridiculous thing.
And honestly, you don't have tobe a giant Trump fanboy to admit
(02:15):
that. And when I say it'sa ridiculous thing, sometimes the people who
are the Trump haters, the derangementsyndrome people, they get out the pitchforks
and they scream and yell and theygo, how dare you he's been convicted?
Well, he was found guilty inManhattan of what is typically a misdemeanor
crime and most likely, if itis overturned at some point by a higher
court, most likely to be foundto be ridiculous that it was inflated to
(02:38):
a felony charge. So I hopeTrump does well in responding to that.
I think he might, but wewill see. That debate is coming up
a week from today, as Isaid, and there is a no fly
alert around Joe Biden and his sevenday prep time at Camp David. You
know, if I was a realcrazy tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist, I would
be making sure that no one wholooks irre like Biden is sneaking into Camp
(03:01):
David so that that guy can comeout and do the debate. But I'm
not that guy. I don't thinkthe doppelganger is a thing that we can
really pull off in our society thesedays. I know some people do.
I'm not judging you. I'm justsaying, if I see anybody that looks
a lot like Biden, I mightbelieve that more. RFK Junior did fail
to qualify for the CNN debate.He also wasn't invited. That was one
(03:22):
of the president's rules. And I'vesaid this a couple times. I doubt
have said it here filling in forthe filling in for Dana Lash on The
Dana Show, and by the way, Danaradio dot Com, at d Lash,
at Dana Lash Radio, on Twitter, all the places you can find
her. Amazing human being and justincredible radio talent. I'm not kissing up.
I genuinely mean that. But anywayto get back to it, I
(03:45):
think in the third debate, thedebate that Biden has said he's going to
refuse, he's only doing two andthis is the earliest one we've ever seen
in a presidential cycle. If thatcontinues, if Biden says I'm only doing
two debates, I won't do athird one with you. I think Trump
should debate are I think he shouldput pressure on Biden to show up at
that by demonstrating his differences from someonewho may or may not cannibalize votes from
(04:09):
both candidates, but also willingly havehim in a conversation, which is what
Biden is terrified to do. AndI might assume that that would create pressure
strong enough for Biden to show upat that third debate with RFK Junior there,
but who knows, and if thisfirst debate goes as terribly as some
expected to go, although we allexpected the State of the Union to also
(04:30):
go terribly and it didn't, shockinglydidn't. And the cocaine, I think,
is what Trump joked about recently beingmaybe the reason for that. By
the way, real quick, beforeI play any other audio, the Vice
President is going to be traveling forsome reason. I'm not really sure why
she's hitting the road or hit theroad earlier. This week. She has
(04:51):
events in Maryland and Arizona. She'sgoing to be talking about all kinds of
stuff, probably also telling you againand again that we cannot be unburdened by
what has been and we have tobe some blah blah blah on what the
future will be. I don't rememberthe whole quote, but she says it
so much. So they're sending Harrisout off into the ether, and they're
(05:13):
putting Biden in a hole for aweek, and they're really really confident in
their capabilities. All Right, anotherthing I have out there. I just
thought this was interesting. This isgoing viral all over the place, and
to be honest, it's actually kindof old. I think this might have
been on TV yesterday because it wasJuneteenth, but I think it was first
(05:34):
on TV maybe over a year ago. It's an episode of New Amster,
New Amsterdam. I think I don'twatch this show, and the premise of
the episode is that a young blackteenager has tumors that were caused by racism.
I'm not making this up. It'sgoing viral today, probably because people
(05:56):
are finding it hilarious, the premiseof this, the ridiculousness, the wokeness
of this. I'll go ahead andplay a little bit of the audio.
I don't know how these actors don'tlaugh through this scene, Like, I
don't know how you can do thisseriously unless someone has brainwashed you to think
that this is actually something that canhappen. But here we go. I
think so comfortable there's a couch overthere. See Okay, yeah, yeah,
(06:19):
he's okay. I had cephas answeredsome questions from a Harvard test known
as unrest. It is designed tomeasure someone's level of social resistance. Social
resistance when people like us oppose thevalues and policies of the dominant culture.
Okay. By the way, thatis a black actress that's playing one of
(06:39):
the other doctors standing during this conversationwith Mom, and she says, people
like us, we defy the nonwoke that are out there in the world.
This is what this is about us, right? What does that have
to do? He feels threatned.You know, most of the audience watching
that TV show was probably like,what is what does this have to do
with this? And on a dailybasis, like everything he's earned can just
(07:00):
be taken away. He's disenfranchised.Oh my god. No. But because
his life is seemingly free from allthis, because he can't name it,
he's internalizing it. Oh my god, that's even worse racism. I think
his son's tumor was caused by racism. Racism gives people cancer, is what
they're saying on New Amsterdam. Theydive deep the entire episode into this,
(07:26):
I think the medical community rejects theirnuanced approach to treating someone. I would
feel bad for anyone in that hospitalif it were real, because you got
to use actual medicine to cure peopleof things. I don't think that's actual
medicine. I just can't get overthe fact that it's going viral now,
probably a year after it was initiallyreleased, And maybe it went viral then
(07:46):
too, and I just missed it. But that is insane, and it's
catering. It's catering, and it'spandering to whoever will tune in and be
like, yeah, see, Iknew that this could give me this.
And actually I also have this songfrom a Star Wars actress, I think
on one of those Disney Plus shows. Now. She put it out just
(08:07):
recently. It's all about how sheis also subject to a lot of horrible,
terrible treatment in her life, eventhough she's now a famous actress who's
probably worth a decent amount of money. This, this horrible world we live
in, has also ruined you know, her and so many others. Although
I'll tell you not that I likethe song. There is a stanza.
(08:30):
There's a portion of this song thatI actually didn't hate. Not that I
agree with how she's saying it,but I think that she's right when she
criticizes journalism. But here we go. Hey, now you're listening, I'm
not telling you something as opating.Let's try to book or something nights,
(08:50):
all right. I don't know ifyou can tell what the words are being
wrapped there are. But she's singingabout how we have ruined the word woke.
We took it away from the culturethat created it, and now we're
using it in order to attack thosewho disagree with us. I'll play a
little more, and they usually cantdescribing it, but they then maybe even
putt in this I nice to listenabout that. People recognize that they could
(09:13):
see the pellet in the tea upsidefor your both speaking. Okay, actually,
this is the part I don't hate, when she says, speaking of
which journalism looking at you. You'resupposed to tell the truth, and you
don't. I'll stop playing it.I'm sure a lot of people don't love
it. I don't know what happenedto the days, And maybe this is
why I've started to gravitate more towardcountry music than I ever used to.
(09:33):
In my life where you just singabout your truck, or you sing about,
you know, losing somebody in arelationship or somebody alike that doesn't like
you. Back, these were thethings we used to sing about, and
now she has to sing about howcultural appropriation of the word woke has further
harmed her community, even though againshe is a famous actress making a whole
(09:56):
bunch of money in some sort ofStar Wars TV show that I'm probably not
watching, but yeah, that's onething out there. TV is telling us
that you can get cancer from racism, especially if you're confused and don't know
how racist the world is treating you, which is a premise of that show.
You know what, I'm finally comearound to the idea that AI could
just wipe out the Writer's Guild ofAmerica and just write these shows for us.
(10:20):
They might be as terrible, butat least we don't have to subject
ourselves to you know, all ofthis again and again and again, and
we can just write it off asthe computers being more on. All right,
quick break, a lot coming up. This is the Dana show.

Oh Dana Radio dot com at dlash or at Dana lash Radio on Twitter.
Just so many ways to find her. Watch her live on YouTube,
Rumble, Facebook. I like thefact that she's on X two. That's
probably the way that I watch thisshow the most often when I do quick
(12:16):
five. Time. Let's do aquick five and now all of the news
you would probably miss it's time forDana's quick five. Forgot about that all
right. Hurricane Alberto the first namedhurricane. Not sure that that's something you
want as an achievement. There ismoving through Mexico right now on its way
to Texas. Heavy rain, heavyflooding in parts of Mexico and Texas.
(12:37):
There have been three deaths so far, so this hurricane is officially deadly and
it's going to move throughout parts ofthe United States at some point. There
remains a threat from tornadoes or twoother things across the Deep South, in
Texas, So be prepared wherever youare if this is something that's going to
go through your own area. Justa story that we hear every so often,
(13:00):
and of course a lot of peopleprobably talking about hot weather and all
weather related stuff, and I'm notgoing to reposition it to be about something
else. Weather happens. This isone version of it. San Francisco has
a new tourism pitch that is interesting. It's not that you could pick up
some free neatles on the ground ifyou want them, or there's some homeless
people you can make friends with whoare hanging out, or even that they've
(13:20):
left some gifts along the sidewalks thatare human in nature and things you don't
want. It's chillier there than ina lot of the rest of California.
They say they see temperatures in thesixties around now. So you should go
hang out in San Francisco because youcan cool off a little bit and then
also wind up in a trashed,very interesting version of a US city.
(13:45):
But hey, ignore that stuff becauseit feels a little cooler. Another thing
out there for a quick five employersare trying to lure the remaining employees that
don't want to go back to officeswith fancy desks or just desk spaith and
maybe an office space of your own. They're also doing something called hot desking,
which is where you sort of sharespaces. Nobody has their own office.
(14:07):
Everybody uses other spaces occasionally. Apparentlythis is a thing that people think
is going to work. Maybe evensome fancy coffee, some yoga classes,
a DJ party in the office.I am glad I don't work in places
that do any of these things,because that is horrible. I would not
want to see a DJ come ininto a party during my work day.
I feel like that would throw alot of us off. Another quick five
(14:30):
thing that I thought was really interesting. An entire playground was stolen in Jacksonville,
Florida. I'm not lying about this. An entire playground was taken,
and from autistic kids too, whichmakes it even meaner. Here is an
executive director, a Melissa Kramer,talking about how you show up at school
one day and the playground's gone andyou don't really know how to evaluate that.
(14:52):
Let's try that out again. Herewe go else We're shocked. A
couple of them got here before me, and they were, like Melissa what
are you doing with the playground?It was just gone. I don't know
how you take a thirty foot playground. They took the swings, they took
the slide, they took the monkeybar, like everything. It's just fun.
Why, really bizarre? Why dothat? I don't know if you're
selling it for metal. If there'sall of a sudden now a playground at
(15:13):
some sort of other spot that itshouldn't be at, like somebody's backyard where
you're like, wait a minute,that really seems like the playground from that
school. But nonetheless, yes,an entire playground stolen in Florida. These
are the things happening in the worldin which we live. They are horrible.
One last one for the quick fivethat I like a lot, A
brand new piece of advice for anyoneto stay in shape, to stay healthy,
(15:37):
if you're older, if you're inlate stages in life, lift heavy,
bro really gets swollen, Really workout as much as you possibly can
with the heaviest weights possible. Theydid a study. They had different groups
of people do different kinds of workouts, all within a certain age range,
and the people who lifted seventy toeighty five percent of their total body weight
(15:58):
for even less than anybody who isdoing anything else, apparently gain the most
benefit from it. So if youwant to be healthy and your elderly,
I hit up your local gym ormaybe even your CrossFit place and lift the
heavyweights with the guys in the corner, and probably slam them and scream too,
because that's pretty good. I'm notjudging anybody that lifts heavy I probably
(16:18):
should do it more than I do. I'm just saying that I can't really
see Graham and Grandpa in that sectionof the gym going out with everybody else.
It feels like it might be morerisk than reward. But I guess
they're saying there's reward there too.All Right, I'm going to take a
break. After the break, Ihave a whole bunch of more information about
debate coverage CNN talking about Elon Musk, Lots of stuff to get to.
(16:40):
Craig Collins filling in on the DanishShow. I agree with Annie Oakley who
said quote, I would like tosee every woman know how to handle guns
as naturally as they know how tohandle babies. Now, I myself regularly
concealed carry nine millimeter. Now that'ssaid not every woman is like me,
has had the hours of training thatI've had, or it feels comfortable around
firearms due to years of use.There by a gun free zone. I
like to change that what I can, while encouraging self defense at the same
(17:04):
time. So this is where BURNAcomes in. It's kind of like a
starter weapon. It's they make anon firearm firearm. I like the idea
of incredible force sending chemical irritants towardsa threat as an additional option for women,
and the Berna SD model shoots chemicalirritant projectiles sixty eight caliber rounds that
can deter threats in their tracks upto fifty feet away. I mean it
(17:29):
is hard, easy target acquisition,zero recoil. Burna is legal in all
fifty states. There's no background checks, no permits required, and shipped directly
to your door. Gun free isn'tapplicable to Berna, It's great for wherever
guns are banned. Visit burna dotcom slash data for ten percent off.

(17:52):
of the Dana Show, check outthe best highlights from every show and Dana's
Absurd Truth podcast posted daily from theDana Show. All right, this is
the Dana Show. My name isCraig Collins filling in. Visit Dana Radio
and subscribe to her Chapter and Versenewsletter. Get all kinds of information from
Herdanaradio dot com. Also d lashor Dana lash Radio on Twitter are the
(18:14):
best ways to follow her too,and she even live streams the show on
Twitter or X which is really cool. Hi, let's do this. This
is about X. Actually, thisis an interview CNN was doing talking about
how that platform is just full ofconspiracy theory. It's terrible, it's horrible,
it's all the things you don't wantit to be. I guess here
we go with their take first,and then I'll respond Oliver Darcy here with
(18:37):
the details. Oliver. Yeah,John, this is quite the advertiser metamorphosis
for Elon Musk. He was atken Lyons yesterday trying to convince advertisers,
major advertisers which have fled his platformX in drove to come back, and
he's pitching this as a platform thatis brand safe. But of course we
know that there are major problems withX and namely Elon Musk's own behavior.
(19:03):
You know, John, he promotesconspiracy theories. He uses his platform as
the most followered person on that siteto launch ugly attacks on his critics.
Yeah, I'm done. I'm good. Here's the thing. I don't know
why and when advertisers needed to beso obsessed with whatever they think they're associated
with, because if that's true,and I don't know that it is,
because people didn't flee X or Twitterthe other things. The Facebook thing,
(19:27):
whatever that was called, didn't takeoff. People are still on it,
they're still using it. All thepeople who did their viral quitting of the
platform are still hanging around, stillpaying attention. So if you want to
advertise to humans, to people yourproducts, and you don't have to say
that you support what any one individualis saying on social media, then you
(19:48):
can do that and you can advertiseon X and you can be successful.
I honestly don't know when some companieseven needed to assume that I would think
like that, you know, likethat, don't care what Elon Musk says.
If I'm on X and I seean advertisement for like a car I
want to buy, I'm not goingto think to myself, well, this
car company is supporting Elon Musk somehow, and I'm supposed to hate him,
(20:11):
so I'm not buying that. Itmakes no sense. The companies needing to
have political positions is one of thebiggest weaknesses of the society we live in
now for their own sake, andchoosing to still not advertise on X when
the platform is absolutely full of eyeballsand full of humans is well stupid.
All right, let's move on.This is in the news. I thought
(20:33):
this was interesting. Stephen Colbert doesa lot of softball interviews with people on
the left. He did a ridiculousinterview with doctor Anthony Fauci the other day.
He had Jamal Bowman on his showlast night. Jamal Bowman, of
course, is the guy who's famousfor pulling fire alarms because he feels like
it and then lying about those sortsof things thinking that their door handles.
(20:55):
I would hate to live in anysort of place that Jamal Bowman is in
all the time, because you'd probablyjust have alarms going off constantly, if
we're to believe this man. Buthe said his wife got real, real
upset that someone actually tried to runagainst him in a primary race. Politicians
having to deal with politics is somethingthat made his family, you know,
just absolutely frustrated with this system thatis designed to have checks and bounces in
(21:19):
it. Here we go. Campaigningcan be exhausting. Campaigning can be exhausting.
It's sort of a never ending whenyou're a member of Congress because you're
running every two years. Do youinvolve your family in the campaign this time
around? Yes, because my wifegot really pissed off when they challenged really
so, she got so mad,she was so upset about everything that how
(21:41):
dare anybody try to challenge the greatsmall ball in this election? And we're
going to have record turnout just likewe did in twenty twenty. So my
wife literally, like for the firsttime ever, like gave a speech at
a latinos from both Yeah, Okay, I don't care. I already I
don't care about this. You've mademe very bored very quickly. I love
the fact that people complain about themost basic things that happen within the political
(22:03):
system. Now, the politicians,I should say, because most Americans do
agree that they don't do anything that'sin our benefit in DC Washington is not
helping the everyday American. And sothere's a certain level of arrogance, a
certain level of how dare you Iam above this to not even want to
be primarily challenged, which apparently issomething that Bowman House felt very strongly about.
(22:29):
All right, other things out therethat I thought were interesting. James
Carvil has been popping up, Hepops up more often than I ever thought
he would at this time in ourlives, talking about how Biden's pull numbers
are so so bad they're well,like a very horrible mental photo or mental
image. Here we go. Idon't think people really appreciate how bad Biden's
(22:52):
pulling overs are. When you lookat him, it's like walking down your
grandmother nick no unseeing. Why doeshe say that so often? Why is
that his go to James Carville thatBiden's pull numbers or whatever it is you're
talking about is the same as seeinga site you'd never ever want to see
and you'd want to have burned fromyour brain. But he's saying that yet
(23:14):
again, it's out there, it'sin the world, and you can find
it if you want to. Andhe is right by the way, that
Biden's pull numbers are terrible. Andyes, I know there's a couple polls
recently, including one out of Foxthat says that Biden is now tied with
Trump on a registered voter scale.Trump is still doing well in states that
(23:36):
are likely to actually decide the election, which I think is very interesting.
Trump will likely, I assume,be doing well after this first debate.
I can't imagine that Biden will actuallybe successful when he is asked to respond
to things and not just speak withsome sort of canned speech the entire time.
But we will see. That issomething that I guess will be determined
(24:00):
about a week from now. Andas I said before, he is holed
up in Camp David practicing everything hecan possibly practice to be as good as
possible for this individual. But again, I think that we will see a
stark difference in the mental capability oftwo individuals, both of which who are
in their seventies plus or eighties.But honestly, it's not just how old
(24:22):
you are, it's how well yourbrain works. And I do love all
the cheap fakes. I loved alot of what Dana was saying the other
day about the cheap fake videos andhow stupid all that is. And honestly,
whether or not that was just anaccidental misspeaking by Krin John Pierre that
she meant to say deep fakes,but her brain stopped her because they are
real videos. So what came outwas cheap fakes, which is ridiculous because
(24:47):
there's so so many of them.All right, For some reason, CNN
called Brian Stelter and put him onTV the Ghost of Brian Stelter, whatever
you want to call this, sinceStelter was fired by CNN and he was
talking about the cheap fakes himself.And of course this is one of the
fear monger, stupidity, far leftguys during the pandemic that told everybody how
(25:11):
horrible they were if you decided notto get vaccinated. And then oh yeaht
comes out that everybody was transmitting COVIDeven if you had the vaccine. Again
again, all these things, andactually Stelter hasn't had the apology tour,
not that it's actually a full apologytour that Cuomo has had. Cuomo is
now somebody who's vaccine impacted or hasa long term illness due to the vaccine,
(25:36):
by his own statement, so thethings he says are now more nuanced
while not apologizing for the past.But here's Stelter being Stelter, well,
one of the presidents defecating in public. Imagine we're going to be by October,
you know, the whayhouse Perserre.I use the phrase cheap fakes,
the idea of cheap fake. Letme explain what that is to people.
We now please about AI deep fakes, that computer generated images are going to
(25:57):
trick pizza work. It's something that'stotally false. Cheap fakes are a little
bit simpler. They're cheap. They'rejust distorted, out of context videos,
chopped up in certain ways, constructedin certain ways. That's what we're seeing.
That's what the Biden administration, inthe Biden campaign is so worried about
right now. But made no mistake. They are worried about this. This
is a real problem. This isnot it's a real problem because it's a
(26:17):
real thing that Biden does. Myfavorite one, actually, if I can
talk about it for just a second, is the one with the parachuters.
You probably saw this one, andyou've probably now seen the debunking of this
video. It's where Biden is turnedaround and all the other world leaders are
pointed at just one person, onetrooper who's parachuting into an area where world
(26:37):
leaders are. Yes, there areother people parachuting into that area, and
Biden seems to be paying attention tothem. But the problem with understanding the
dynamic of all this. You're aworld leader, You're in front of other
world leaders. You know there's acamera rolling, because they do that on
purpose whenever they do any of thisstuff. And everyone else is looking one
(26:57):
direction at one person, and you'rethe only guy off in the corner doing
your own thing, and you don'tnotice. That seems to be mentally bad
no matter what you're saying. Andyes, the Internet made jokes that he
was just looking at ghosts or justveering off into the nethers and didn't know
at all what was going on,but even in the real context of the
(27:18):
video, it still looks horrible,and he has to be grabbed and turned
around in order to pay attention towhat he's supposed to be paying attention to.
So this refuting of cheap fakes isjust the most ridiculous new hunter Biden's
laptop is Russian disinformation thing, becausethat's the thing too when mainstream media and
(27:40):
the left, which I guess youcan also just call mainstream media, but
when politicians on the left are inuniform in rejecting something and telling you it's
a lie. Most likely that's themost true thing you're seeing right now in
your life. And all those videosare real, and there's so so many
of them, and it's just afew moments. And I think I heard
(28:02):
said on Fox and Friends either thismorning or yesterday, but you all have
somebody in your life, or atleast a lot of us do, someone
who's getting older, someone who youstart to worry about more, whoever that
might be. And these little moments, these little reflections of things not being
what they used to be, atleast for the person mentally, are the
things that you obsess about, thethings you tell their doctor about, because
(28:26):
they're the signs that you know everything'snot okay. And we're seeing these on
world stages from our president, evenif it's for a few moments, and
even if people like Barack Obama arehelping pull him off a stage somewhere,
the recovery doesn't matter. It's themoment itself that's terrifying, because this guy
is in charge of the entire country. I don't know how to say that
(28:48):
differently. Actually, I do lovethe fact that people say, at least
I hear them say that. Youknow, the far right media, the
conservative media, the crazy media iswhat the left wants to call it.
Essentially is overinflating these issues. Whenthe person we're discussing is the president of
the United States. It's not likeyou're picking on your boss who's showing up
(29:12):
at work and getting confused every sooften. That wouldn't be great. I'm
sure you'd want to discuss that withthe other people in your office, but
that's not something that needs to benational news. This should be These are
the kind of things that news shouldbe reporting to us, should be telling
us that this is what we're worriedabout. They should be peeling this onion
back, not pretending it's an onionthat no one should be talking about at
(29:34):
all. That's why people lose somuch trust in the media now. News
media is so transformatively different than whatit used to be. If you saw
a president do any of these thingsthat Biden has done and you were winding
the clock, I don't know,maybe thirty or forty years a news media
journalists would be all over this.They'd be talking to doctors on their TV
(29:56):
shows, asking what are these signsof how bad does this look to you?
Now? They're simply admonishing those whodiscuss it as if there's some sort
of giant conspiracy theory out to trickyou into thinking a genius is actually moron.
Because that's the other thing. Theyoversell the cognitive abilities of Biden to
(30:18):
a degree that's laughable, And that'swhy so many of these videos wind up
going viral on social media because ofhow different they are from the narrative and
how easy it is to disprove thenarrative this time along. I don't know
if they just expect us to allbe lazy and all not really try that
hard. I know a lot ofpeople who listen to this show probably try
much harder than people out there whodon't. But nonetheless, just using your

is Craig Collins, filling in Thrilledto be with you, d Lash or
Dana Lash Radio on social media,on Twitter, on x a bunch of
(32:10):
other places to find her YouTube,Rumble, Facebook, Direct TV channel three
forty seven, all over the placevia the First TV. I'm thrilled to
be here, Dana. We'll beback on Monday. Women are shelling out
thousands of dollars for ladies only campingtrips this summer. They're swapping out quote
juice boxes for wine boxes, whichI find to be hilarious. Apparently this
(32:31):
is a trend mostly going on onthe East Coast. Six hundred dollars for
two night stays in the Pocono's orwherever you're going. I don't blame anybody
for wanting to do this. Idon't blame, you know, women from
wanting to take the girls trip outand hang out with ladies and get hammered
in the forest or in some sortof camping ground. I feel like that
(32:52):
might be something that you want tomake sure you take certain precautions on.
But nonetheless, I think the reasonthis is going viral is both the cost
of it and then also how it'sa response to quote epic loneliness. A
lot of people are feeling, Sotake your friends out to a campsite and
get hammered on boxed wine. Thatdoesn't sound so bad. Another thing out
(33:13):
there that I saw that was interesting. A woman in New Zealand decided to
take her boyfriend to court because hequote failed to show up to pick her
up at the airport. I didn'tknow you could do a lawsuit over this.
She's suwing him. She said thatshe wound up in a horrible situation
and had to figure out for hourshow to get from the airport to whatever
place she wanted to be at.No news and if they're broken up or
(33:36):
not. I assume they are afterthe lawsuit came out. But the woman
wants compensation from her boyfriend, notjust because he stayed in her house and
took care of her dog. Iguess she wants to get paid for that
somehow, but also because again,she had a horrowing trip trying to get
home when he didn't show at theairport. I like when people take their
fight to the internet, just becauseI can kind of enjoy reading about it,
(34:00):
you know, like somebody goes toReddit and tries to figure out who
the jerk is and who's not thejerk I like watching from afar. I
don't know that the courtroom is theright venue for that. I feel like
the court of the internet was goodenough and never wins you an argument,
but certainly you need to go nofurther. Another one call this in All
about Ladies segment all of a sudden, But a lot of these stories are
(34:21):
out there today, so I can'thelp it. And this is salacious in
nature, just to tad so I'lltell you. I'll warn you upfront.
Adult topic apparently, according to abrand new study and often thought of misconception,
is obviously wrong. Most people thinkthis is right, though depending on
the size of a woman's you know, her upper area, her wilder boobs.
(34:47):
I'll just go ahead and say it, she sweats less, not more,
which is what people thought. Thereason this is out there, And
I don't ever judge mainstream media forwhat now that's not true at all.
For what it gives us as faras tips to deal with the heat.
Apparently, if you're larger chested anda lady and you're sweating less, you
might be retaining more heat, soyou might be in more danger. So
(35:10):
literally, one of the pieces ofadvice out there, not just check on
your elderly neighbors, but check onany of your larger female neighbors of a
certain variety to make sure that they'redoing okay. And I'm sure there's a
whole lot of dudes listening to theshow like I can do it. That's
no problem, that one I got. I'll be on board to make sure
(35:30):
that no one is overheating because ofsize of something. It's a real study.
It's not just me trying to bea juvenile. I think this came
from the University of Southampton. Idon't know what scientists they have there and
if they're, you know, justthe creepiest of dudes or not. And
also it was published in the Journalof Physiology, which I hear has a
great swimsuit issue. All right,I'll take a break. I'm kidding a

all over the place, the firstTV Direct TV channel three forty seven,
YouTube Rumble, Facebook at d Lashor at Dana Lash Radio on social media,
on Twitter on x Fox News interviewedone of the guys who caught the
(37:21):
horrible individual illegal migrant or immigrant orjust illegal alien, whatever you want to
call him, who raped a thirteenyear old girl and videotaped it. So
a group of dudes decided, ifjustice isn't going to be served in New
York, we're going to go aheadand serve it ourselves, which I think
a whole lot of people would absolutelybe on board for. And as I
(37:42):
said, they sat down with DanielRamos, one of the guys who decided
to take matter into his own hands, essentially to act like Batman, you
know, in the best of ways, along with his buddies. I thought
this was one of the more interestingparts of the conversation where they were asking
just how many of you guys werethere all willing to go ahead and beat
the crap out of this dude,this this you know, piece of I
(38:04):
can't say that word in the radio, but I want to Here we go
this is what it sounds like whenyou're like, well, there's like ten
of us, and he knew betterthan to even put up a fight.
Daniel, how many were you atthem? I'm gonna say, like ton
ton of us, Kennedy, Anddid he put up a fight or did
he say anything? He moved?He knew better not to put up a
fight. He couldn't really put upa fight because if he was out of
numbered and probably would have went worseif he did. It was better that
(38:29):
he didn't. And he was justtrying to copplet like trying to say,
you know, let me explain,I could explain. At first he tried
to say he didn't he didn't carewhat he did. And then he tried
to say, let me explain,but we wasn't trying to hear any of
it. And yeah, he waslooking really to explain. What he did
was horrible and he did that toa thirteen year old, innocent little girl.
So we don't we don't condone that, not for a while, we
(38:49):
don't condone that. We don't acceptthat. In New York sometimes we go
ahead and just out our own punishment. I love this. I'm a huge
fan of this. They called hima hero as they interviewed him and the
other guys who helped apprehend this dude, this piece of crap that shouldn't have
even been in this country, notjust because he's not in illegally, but
because, just like a whole lotof other people that you're hearing about in
(39:10):
the news now, he was caughtand put within our system for other things
that he did on more than oneoccasion, and still wound up out and
available in order to do something horrificagain. I hope that we see more
of this. I hope that ifyou continue to see the failed version of
giving us our most basic protections inthis country, protections from the truly wicked
(39:34):
and horrible of the world, thatsomething else happens, that again the American
people demonstrate that they're not going totolerate this. And so I thought it
was absolutely incredible, to say theleast. All. Right, Another thing
out there that I saw was thisvideo from twenty sixteen. The reason I
think this is so interesting, andyou've probably forgotten if you even remember this
(39:55):
existed at all, is as webarrel toward the debate, and as we
barrel toward the election, there's alikelihood that if the Democrats lose, they'll
somehow say something about it was stolen, just like they criticize the Republicans or
Trump for doing and honestly, tryingto imprison your political rival does seem like
(40:17):
you're trying to steal another election.But this is sort of amazing because in
twenty sixteen, a whole bunch ofHollywood people begged the Electoral College to not
vote for Trump. And I dolove the way they did this because if
you remember, they didn't even tellyou to vote for Hillary. Just vote
for anybody and understand that you can'tlet a demigogue or whatever else they called
(40:38):
Trump back then wind up taking controlof the country. None of the fear
mongering stuff they told us was goingto happen did happen, even though they're
telling us it's going to happen allover again. Just as a reminder,
here's how Democrats responded in twenty sixteenwhen they lost an election, and how
the Hollywood elite responded. I lovethese demonstrations of the hypocrisy that exis in
(41:00):
the world of politics. Republican membersof the Electoral College, this message is
for you, as you know,our founding fathers built the Electoral College to
safeguard the American people from the dangersof a demoguard. And okay, hold
on, I got to stop itright there. What he means to say
is that they developed this, inhis opinion, to prevent the American people
(41:20):
from having a voice and who actuallygets to be president. Ensure that the
presidency only goes to someone who isto an eminent degree, endowed with the
requisite qualifications an eminent degree, someonewho is highly qualified for the job.
The Electoral College was created specifically toprevent an unfit candidate from becoming president.
(41:42):
There are five hundred and thirty eightmembers of the Electoral College. You and
just thirty six other conscientious Republican electorscan make a difference by voting your conscience
on December nineteenth. I love it. They're like, all the Democrats are
going to do this, so ifyou guys do this too, we're in.
To be honest, I would liketo replay this video if somehow,
some way Biden wins reelection, whichI still don't think is possible. I
(42:06):
know some of the polls coming outsay it's closer. You just got to
look at this guy. You gotto look at the level of lack of
popularity he has within his own party. Those are things that matter quite a
bit. And once you can't keepputting Trump in courtrooms and he gets to
be out on the campaign trail again, where he's wanted to be the entire
time he's been in courtrooms, hewill do better and better and better with
(42:29):
just his core group. And also, I think a lot of independence they
are shocked, they being legacy mediaor politicians on the left, at just
how much Trump has mobilized and gainedsupport from say, minority communities or communities
of younger voters that typically Republicans don'tgain. But again, I'd just like
to play this audio ifen even honestlyright now, I know it wouldn't be
(42:52):
the electoral College that would remove him, But if you're trying to say that
for the greater good of our society, we need to remove those who are
incapable of doing the job as soonas we realize they're incapable, that would
be Biden, and that would benow cheap fake videos or not, whatever
it is they're calling them. Butagain, I just thought this was so
interesting. I find a little moreand thereby shaping the future of our nation.
(43:14):
I'm not asking you to vote forHillary Clinton. No, I'm not
asking you to vote for Hillary Clinton. No one is. I'm not asking
you to vote for Hillary Clinton.Right, as you know, the Constitution
gives electors the right to vote forany eligible person, anybody they want.
I want you to vote for KanyeWest. I want you to vote for
whoever you feel like. Put yourselfin there, put a foot, fictional
character in there, whatever you wantto do. Just do something that's not
(43:36):
Trump. That was twenty sixteen.That was Democrats in Hollywood. And now
they get up on the high andmighty bandwagon and say, how dare Donald
Trump ever question the integrity of anyelection? This is something we would never
do. By the way, doctorAnthony Fauci is continuing to do a media
tour of his own. There's abook out. Fauci is quite happy about
(43:58):
whatever. You know what I'll sayabout doctor Anthony Fauci, And you've probably
heard all this before. Outside ofall the making stuff up and definitely lying
in ways that more and more we'relearning, he absolutely knew what he was
saying was not just a bad guessbut utterly untrue. But how much he
loves the camera. Fauci wouldn't bethe discussion point he is today if he
(44:22):
didn't choose to be everywhere during thepandemic. He wouldn't even if he had
done that in a few of thosepress conferences where he stood up well quote
unquote stood up to the former presidentand disagreed with him in that public forum.
If he didn't go about it bythen trying to be on every radio
station, every television station, Idon't know, in maybe the airport,
(44:44):
talking to people as much as hecould, we wouldn't all have strong opinions
about him. And he gets soupset and he says, it's, you
know, the objection to science itselfto question this man who made himself the
face of COVID willingly and intentionally andis now all over the place just before
this first debate. But here's alittle bit of what he said on the
(45:05):
view, talking about Trump, talkingabout the CDC, talking about everything,
and again just go away. Well, I mean, I would like to
see him get in trouble. Iwould like to see Congress continue to haul
him in and ask him questions thatwe need answers for. But other than
that, I don't think he needsto be out there anymore. And if
he continues to complain that people hatehim or people you know, want to
(45:28):
see bad things happen to him,you think that his response would be to
not be everywhere again and put hisface on every television he can get it
on. It's very threatening. Ithink it's intrepardy. It's intrepardy. So
you dedicate a chapter in the bookto your dealings with Trump. It's called
the chapters called he loves Me heloves me Not? And you describe some
(45:52):
angry, ranting, expletive filled phonecalls where he would be rate you and
flatter you in the same breath.I'm wondering. You just said you worked
with seven other presidents. Did anyone, any one of them, ever speak
to you the way he does?Or did? No? Of course,
not even close. Okay, letme stop it right there first. No
(46:12):
one that he worked for had anythingquite like the pandemic that was shutting down
businesses everywhere happened, you know,during that tenure. So what other presidents
have gotten mad at Fauci and someof the stuff he was saying, especially
if they had information that demonstrated thatFauci was providing an opinion and acting as
though it was a medical fact ata time when medical facts were not possible
(46:35):
in all honesty, Like if youreally talk about it, right at the
start of the pandemic, anything theytold us, we should have questioned,
and a lot of people did questionsimply because you didn't have enough information yet,
no matter what you were saying,no matter how well versed you were
in these sort of things, youneeded more time, more data to study
it. And all that data that'scome out has only told us we made
a tremendous amount of mistakes. Butwhat other presidents have gottens mad Trump did
(47:00):
if he even really did get thatmad during this moment with this amount of
undercutting his message to the American people, of course they would have. It's
ridiculous to say they wouldn't. Let'shear a little bit more from the annoying
fauci. Well, you know whatI meant by it loves me, he
loss me not. You know,early on in the beginning, you know
he's he is an engaging character abouta certain raup pool with each other.
(47:22):
I was trying to figure out whatit was. I think, is that
two guys from New York City.You know, he was from Queen's I
was from the Bronx, and wekind of had that, you know,
New York. He calls it swaggerwith each other. That was fine and
all that was really okay. Igot to stop it right there too.
Actually, I love how quiet theview goes when Fauci says anything nice about
(47:42):
Trump, because mainstream media also likesto take everything Trump says as if he
means it one hundred percent seriously.He's trying to say it the way that
boring, stiff non you know Trumppeople say things, not the way that
a guy at the end of thebar might say something, which is how
Trump does a lot of his debatesor a lot of his appearances, a
(48:05):
lot of his rallies. So Iunderstand what he's saying right there and believe
it. But then he started tocrap all over him publicly, again and
again and again, question his message, tell businesses to stay locked down,
tell people to keep masks on,tell people to get COVID vaccines at times
when we probably needed more information aboutall that stuff, and then also resoundingly
(48:27):
reject, although you claim not tohave rejected it now the idea that Wuhan.
The Wuhan lab is where COVID camefrom. And Trump said it in
a few of those press conferences,and you got real mad about that.
That is probably where the swagger went. That's probably why it stopped. But
again, I just thought it wasinteresting that he would actually say something like
that, and then his forceful opinionbeing pressed on a president of the United
(48:50):
States is what caused the disconnect betweenthe two. And then while a whole
lot of American people right finding outjust how many things he lied about.
All right, tell take a break. A lot coming up. This is
Craig Collins filling in on the DanaShow. Maybe you've come across this.
If you had to go and geta prescription filled, you know, maybe
it takes a really long time toget it filled, or maybe you're told
by the pharmacy they don't have thatin stock. Right now, you don't
(49:10):
ever want to be without a medicationthat you need to get better. So
do what I did and take controlof your family's health with a medical emergency
kit from the doctors at the WellnessCompany. Now, this is not a
first aid kit, right. Thekit is filled with essential doctor prescriptions that
treat over thirty nine different medical issues. They have strong antibiotics for infections of
(49:34):
all types, including pneumonia, strutthroat, ear infections, all kinds of sinusitis,
like sinus infections like I always get. It's like having a little urgent
care without the seventy five dollars copay, right at your house, and you
don't have to wait to see adoctor. You don't have to wait in
a waiting room, and everybody knowsthat it's like one of the sickest places
to be. You don't have towait at a pharmacy. Every home should
have at least one of these medicalemergency kits, and they put it all
(49:58):
together in your little kit. Theypack it all up and they ship it
directly to you. I've used itmyself. I've used it several times myself.
I ended up getting a sinus infectionthat turned into strut throat and I
could not from the airport, traveling, doing everything that I could do,
and then of course my doctor's officeis closed. I did not want to
have to go and wait into urgentcare. I was too sick, and
I went I remembered I had mymedicines. I went in. I took
(50:20):
my medicines and I was literally andCane remembers, I was like back on
the road to better health, andI was able to actually do my job

experts in health and wellness say thatthe TV twelve brand is actually pretty good
(51:51):
and Tom Brady's a decent example ofit. It going well for at least
him other things out there for quickfive, I think I forgot to say
that this is a quick five.A basketball tournament at a high school in
Jersey has been canceled. Barstool Sportsand a bunch of other places reported on
this thing. I thought it wasreally interesting because school's out for the summer.
Of course, you can play thesongs you want to, but school's
(52:14):
out for the summer, so they'resetting up this event not for the school
kids themselves, not that that makesit really all that much better, but
for I assume paying adults. Itwas called the Nutting, but is azz
basketball tournament where four teams of thongedwomen. This is a real thing.
I'm not making any of this up. I would have competed for ten thousand
(52:36):
dollars the top team, the winningteam in the basketball tournament, ten thousand
bucks. Ticket prices for each gameor maybe for the weekend of events ranged
from fifty bucks for standing room onlyto five hundred dollars for floor seats to
watch women play basketball in thongs.The craziest part about this is that like
(52:58):
the school approved it, it wasa thing. It took the marketing campaign
for the parents to react in outragefor the event to then be canceled.
I think that's in favor now ofa community basketball night, which hopefully is
sort of like what they do lateat night when they're trying to get troubled
youth off the streets and they justhave like a youth pastor somewhere and they
play basketball and talk about stuff.A transformatively different event than the one that
(53:22):
had been planned. I don't knowwhy anyone would have thought this was a
good idea to hold this in aschool. I'm sure there's a whole bunch
of people who might have bought ticketsand wanted to go to this and I
assume the nutting, but as peopleI will find a different venue for their
basketball tournament that's not actually one that'soften populated by people under the age of
eighteen. Another story out there that'sjust so crazy and I guess I'll have
(53:45):
to get to more of it lateris a guy from Wales claiming to have
been rescued by wild boars by TomCruise. It's one of the craziest stories
out there. He goes about howhe's really good buddies with Tommy. Him
and his friends were on a boarhunt that went wrong. The wild boars
were about to eat him in hisbuddies and Tom Cruise and a helicopter saved
the day. It has gone viral. The dude's name is Johnny Turnip.
(54:08):
He says that he's got a nicknamefor Cruise and everything. Tom Cruise has
not confirmed this story, but ifyou find it, it's one of the
most incredible fake versions of events thatI wish happened that I've ever read in
my life. Even the music blastingfrom the helicopter as they're being saved by
the Hollywood celebrity. I quick breaka lot more Craig Collins filling in on

CEO of the Greater Peoria Honor Flight, which is one of several different honor
(56:19):
flights within a network that exists withinour country. Welcome to the show,
Luke, Hey, thanks for havingme. Greg thrilled to have you on.
So the reason I asked you todo this is one I got to
go on an honor flight with youand a group of heroes just this past
week. And also we just hadthe eightieth anniversary of D Day. At
the beginning of this month, Junesixth, you saw a lot of veterans
(56:42):
if you were watching TV, anyoneout there showing up and being honored.
And if you look at the ageof veterans of World War Two, you
know that we have a finite amountof time left to be around heroes and
to hear stories from heroes who foughtin that conflict. So your organization,
the organization and network itself, focuseson bringing individuals from World War Two,
(57:07):
from you know, Vietnam, fromany of those wars where health is a
concern, and getting them on atrip that seems to transform them. Tell
me a little bit more about yourexperience with this organization and what you do
well. So I'll preface it withthis. So I am a veteran myself,
you know, and knowing knowing whyI serve and knowing what I went
(57:29):
through. You know, I'm anAfghan Iraq kind of guy in my service
time. So these are right now, we're heavily in the Vietnam guys.
And for most of these guys,you know, part of our honor flight,
you know, we take them outto DC for their day of honor
is what we call it. Andit doesn't matter how many flights I go
on. They come back and youknow, we give them a big welcome
(57:50):
home. And these guys look atme, and most of them have tears
in their eyes and they're saying thismeant the most getting a welcome home because
we know how bad it was forthem coming back through you know, know
that the West Coast when they werecoming back and getting shipped back home after
their time in Vietnam, and it'slike they were called horrible things and now
they're getting sank. Now they're gettingthat kind of gratitude they deserve. And
(58:13):
what's great about that is we getto be a part of that and we
get to experience that. Yeah,I'll tell you that. Getting to go
on one of those flights with youvery kindly inviting me to be on it,
it was so moving to see theseindividuals slowly, I don't know if
crack is the white right word,but slowly softened throughout a day that seems
(58:34):
to just have so much meaning tothem. At the beginning of the day,
before you're getting even on the planevery early in the morning, a
lot of these guys seem to notknow what to expect, seemed to be
very happy that they're getting to goon their flight. Some of them wait
five, six, seven years,especially in mid to smaller markets like the
Peoria area. I know you've toldme before that you have a tremendous waiting
list and a lot of fear thatthe health of some of these individuals might
(58:57):
not allow them to ever take oneof these on our flight. Maybe you
can talk to me a little bitabout that, about what the goals are
for organizations like yours to make surethat everyone gets this this day that that
veterans so deserve and so seem tobe you know, changed by Yeah,
So we are taking every flight,when we're doing about three flights a year,
(59:20):
we're taking a veteran and a guardian. So for the seat capacity we're
sitting at, you know, bytime a veteran falls out for health reasons
or whatever, we're taking on averageseventy five veterans to DC on each flight.
Well, the sticker price is onehundred and nine thousand dollars. We
are charging the vet or not theveterans. The veterans we fundraise for the
guardians, we charge five hundred andfifty for their seat, so you know,
(59:43):
it does offset a little bit ofthe cost. And where I'm sitting
at right now is I have fourteenhundred Vietnam veterans on our list. Now
I'm going to go you know,we go through that and try and see
if there's some duplications. Right,So, even if I sat there and
said, you know, there's onehundred eager guys that signed up, you
know a couple of times, yeah, I'm still sitting over a thousand veterans
just exploring veteran Is it too late? No, it's not too late.
(01:00:05):
Like you know, you're on,You're on for September, you know,
but what does that mean for whatdoes that mean for those guys that have
signed up? You know, we'reworking on guys that signed up in twenty
seventeen. You know, you're thesetwo years of COVID and you have more
people signing up. Our our leadrecruiter for our and only recruiter. If
you ever meet Bob Reid, ifyou're a veteran, you probably met him
in the central Illinois area because he'strying to get everybody signed up. But
(01:00:29):
he's like, should I just stopsigning up? I said, no,
Bob, that's not our problem.We need to fundraise more. We the
problem is we need more seats,more flights. That doesn't mean we stopped
recruiting because what he's not what alsohe's doing is even if it's a veteran
that's already signed U oh yeah,I'm signed up, He's like, Okay,
well, then where's your health thatdo we need to prioritize you?
Because that is where we are atright now. We are prioritizing health first,
(01:00:52):
and I wanted I wanted to talkabout that a little bit more too.
So what's interesting to me. Iwas on this flight, as I
said, and I met a NormLusher, who was one of the guys,
one of the veterans from Vietnam thatyou took on the flight. Norm
has health issues because of agent Orange, which a lot of guys from that
era have, which makes their healtheven more scary in the sense of do
(01:01:15):
you have enough time to get allthese guys in a flight if you have
fourteen hundred waiting and take about threehundred a year. And there is a
way to donate to Honor Flight oreven a greater Peoria Honorflight dot org.
They have an online donation, andit wouldn't take a tremendous response to this
conversation to even facilitate a few moreveterans getting to take this trip. But
(01:01:36):
Norm had some bad health news recently. Norm's not sure if he'll be here
a lot longer. And the otherthing that really sort of moved me about
him is he had to be convincedby his brother to even take the flight
because he didn't really want to doHe's like, I don't really want to
do it. And then by thetime we got to the Vietnam memorial specifically,
he seemed to have been so impactedby it. And you know,
(01:01:59):
a claiming he's not a hero andthe heroes of the guys that lost their
lives fighting in the conflict he wasa part of it just moves you so
much. And so there's something aboutthe specialness of being able to demonstrate to
any veteran, like we did onD Day this year, but like society
should all the time, just howimportant they are and just how grateful we
(01:02:20):
are. And as you said,specifically the Vietnam veterans, out of everything
you've done now running in part ofthe honor flight, what are some of
the things that jump out to youas far as the experiences you've had with
these veterans, or even the schoolkids in DC who come up and say
hi to the veterans and ask themquestions, What are some of those moments
that jump out for you? Youknow. So we're sitting in this real
(01:02:42):
divisive world right now, where youknow, everything's political, everything's this or
that, and if you don't likeone thing I like, then we must
be enemies and we got to bemad at each other. Right We've got
generational gap right there where you've gotgrade school kids or eighth graders, freshmen
or whatever that are on these DCtours and the tour guides. I had
three different tour guys. I thoughtI was talking to one, because you
know it's all DC you know,sell numbers. I'm like, didn't they
(01:03:07):
already send you a text and letyou know what time? And it's like
three different tour guides just somehow gotmy number from on a flight hub,
which I loved because you saw thefaces on those those veterans when they walk
that line and all those grade schoolkids were saying thank you for your service.
Now does an eighth grader or afreshman high school. Know what,
you know this means right now?No, but they got to see an
(01:03:29):
impactful response from those veterans, andas they grow up, they'll that'll be
in the back of their mind,playing like this mattered to somebody, and
then they can start building on that, because the biggest thing we need to
make sure we have in this countryis unity, right, you know,
Unfortunately it's always a conflict that causesus. But if we can utilize this
organization to say, hey, thepast veterans honoring them with the younger generation
(01:03:54):
or the younger generation getting to honorthem, maybe that instills a little bit
of patriotism in these you know,younger generations to where they say, you
know what, even if I don'tserve in the military, I need to
serve my community. You know.No, I always say, if you
want to, if you want tosolve a problem, starting your community first,
because you can't make a big blanketpolicy for everybody. And just getting
(01:04:15):
to see these kids show up andhelp, like maybe that'll instill a little
bit of I want to serve somehowfor my community. Now you say,
you say something really powerful there,and I kept thinking about my grandfather who
fought in Korea, and how littlehe talked about any of the experience he
had, but how meaningful that daywould have been for him if he had
gone on an honor flight. Idon't think. I don't know if the
organization was around before he sadly passedaway years ago. But what I what
(01:04:41):
I keep thinking about, is howmoving it would have been for me as
a little kid to watch my grandfatherbreak or have an emotional response or tell
me a story about his time inconflict, and how it would have instilled
patriotism, as you just stated,in me and this younger generation, the
twenty somethings who are on college campusesprotesting the ongoing conflict between Israel and a
(01:05:01):
terrorist organization and saying death to America. It's so devastating, it's so upsetting,
and I think that something like thehonor Flight, even with all the
impact it has on the heroes,the most deserving people who please they deserve
more than one day to be honoredthe way that you guys do it and
the way that the organization does it. But the kids who get to see
(01:05:23):
them, get to see the compassionof them, get to see the joy
in the interaction of the older veteranwith the young person. It does it
promptly transforms everybody. And so there'ssomething that's really moving about it. Why
do you think it's hard to getpeople to buy in, at least to
some extent, to supporting stuff likethis, to making stuff like this?
(01:05:45):
Is like I would think that ifyou told any community, Peoria or any
other one that veterans need more moneyso more of them can be honored before
they pass away, that you wouldget flooded with millions of dollars within a
week. And yet that's not whathappens. Do you think that is?
You know what? And maybe it'sbranding, you know, maybe it's maybe
it's getting the message out. Andso I've always so I think of some
(01:06:08):
of the you know, Hollywood seriesthat we've done for you know, war
conflicts, where they got the storiesfrom the person and then built built a
storyline and you know, try totry to reenact. That's great, right,
I've always being a pure guy mywhole life. Obviously moved around for
the military a little bit, butyou know, born here, raised here,
(01:06:30):
uh, and still trying to makea difference here. And the biggest
thing that I have learned about justour peory areas. We're not good at
telling our story very often, youknow, we do amazing things. Yeah,
and and so I I've always said, I've never other than you know,
needing a million dollars, right,Other than that, if I've ever
asked somebody, hey, I needsomething, we need to do that for
(01:06:51):
the veterans, it's not hey canyou go do this? Somebody says,
hey, I can help you withthat. So we have it's it's just
kind of getting it a line.And like I've been a part on on
this more administrative side for the kindof learned everything or tried to learn as
much as I could last year.Then this is a year where we're actually
I'm I'm taking some steps into figuringout, okay, what where's the next
(01:07:13):
ten years? You know, startingto map out these plans because you saw
the day we had, you know, all the different memorials we stopped.
By time we get to my generation, we're not going to be stopping at
some of the memorials we do.Now, We're going to be stopping somewhere
else. And maybe we've got afactor in more time at Arlington. So
just as much as things have changedin the last ten years. I think
we got to revisit that message ofsure, these these are your veterans in
(01:07:38):
your community. These are some oftheir stories. This is the impact this
organization makes. Now tell me youdon't want to open up your checkbook,
you know, because that that.I've got so many stories, like some
of them I've shared with you,like the guy with the narcotics story,
you know, to be I lovethat as you know you can. I
(01:07:59):
love that as something just say withoutexplaining the guy with the narcotis. So
go ahead, real quick, tellme about what a veteran told you during
an hour flight. So, tobe fair, this veteran had to go
to or join the service because itwas jail or service because he was he
gotten a few too many scuffles inhis small town. Then it turns around
and he gets sent to Germany.Okay, so he get lucks out again
not going to Vietnam. Then runshis mouth to a German general and then
(01:08:23):
not shortly after that, gets shippedoff to Vietnam as his punishment. While
he's there, and mind you,he became a military police. That was
the job they gave him. I'mlike, oh, so the guys you
used to get in a fight with, now you're getting via one fight and
he's like, yeah, I waskind of playing how that works. But
then he's telling this story or thisyoung group at in DC's like, these
(01:08:45):
kids come up, thank you foryour service. Can you tell us how
your experience And he's like, well, it was terrible, And then the
teacher's like oh no, and thenthey're like, well, can you tell
us a story about your time inVietnam. Yeah, so there was this
time I was I was buying heroinand cocaine and the teachers like okay,
kids, move along. Yeah,I get away from this guy. Yeah
exactly. And then he's like,because I was an undercover officer or I
(01:09:08):
was working under cover to try andfind out where the drugs were amazing limited
and but it's like I was like, you had a pause for effect,
didn't you. He said absolutely.So most of the stories I get from
these guys, and maybe it's becauseI'm a veteran, they will they will
dig into those like so there Iwas in the first stargeant hay on the
outer I was and the MP's almostarrested me. But because I was shipping
out you know, they left mealone. But you know you mentioned something
(01:09:31):
about the stories and how they're they'rea little harder, you know, a
little reserved on talking. I knowone of my old commanders, his dad
and him went and you're talking abouta service member who has a father who
served in Vietnam. Never held heardstories about Vietnam from his dad all those
years, and he served in Afghanistan, he served, you know, and
the dad still never told him untilafter she shared a few stories during the
(01:09:58):
day. And that's what I alwayscall to him to do, like share
your stories. We have to knowstories so your legacy can continue. And
then he turned around and I justsaw him the other day and he said,
my dad still talks about that,and he's like, there's just something
a little different, and he's like, and it's a good thing. So
I mean, that's what we're herefor. It's all about the veterans and
making them feel good and getting theawesome stories from these guys. Amen,
(01:10:18):
And honestly, man, just onelast thing, because I know I got
to take a break and I gottago. The veterans are guys that really
respond when you show them. Youdon't say things words are only so meaningful.
Actions are so much more meaningful,and this day is just full of
actions that demonstrate the I love howDC responds out of veterans when they land
(01:10:39):
there, which they do every singleday at that airport for honor flights that
are being scheduled from all over thecountry. They applaud, they cheer,
they say thank you for your service. The same thing happens when these veterans
go home to wherever they're going intheir community. It's just it's a meaningful
day. So again, whether you'redonating to the Greater Honor Flight Network or
Greater Peoria Honor Flight, which asa long list of veterans that they need
(01:11:01):
to get on flights before it's toolate, you can do that Greater Peoria
Honorflight dot org. There's a donationpage there. This is something people should
be looking into and paying attention tobecause of how meaningful it is and how
those actions matter and are just demonstratedthrough a day of gratitude. Thanks man

(01:12:35):
Florida Man. This is Creig Allin'sfilling in on the data show a couple
quick ones. Florida man was arrestedfor hurling chairs and planks of wood off
a roof of a midtown Manhattan skyscraper. I had no idea how the guy
got all the stuff he was throwingoff the top of the roof up there.
I feel like somebody should have noticedthat. I mean, he's just
throwing it out there and getting arrestedfor it. Another Florida man bought a
(01:12:58):
mask at a gas station so thathe can had crossed the street to a
bank to try to rob it.That's a real thing that happened. The
guy was like, oh, Ineed I need one of them masks right
now. What are you gonna dowith that, sir? It doesn't matter.
I'm just gonna go over to thebank across the street and with draw
some funds. He was also arrested. Deputies cracked that case because well,
it was very very easy to findout who it was. All right,
(01:13:20):
that's an abbreviated version of Florida Man. Greg Allen's filling in on the Dana

All right, let's talk about somethings out there. First. I wanted
to play this audio that's been unearthedby the guy who actually started one organization
I then got kicked out of itand now is doing his own thing,
(01:15:08):
James O'Keefe. He is very verygood at creating, you know, conversations
with leaders of companies, including asenior vice president at Disney, which is
what this audio is and getting onthe record and stuff you can share with
the world about how crazy and wokeninsane some of these people are. And
(01:15:28):
here is a real conversation happening withsomeone undercover for O'Keefe media group talking about
how Disney out loud says, we'renot hiring white people for this, We're
not hiring white people for that.Whatever the thing may be, the job
in question may be, it's goingto somebody that's not a white dude at
the very least here we go.Certainly, there have been times where you
(01:15:53):
know, there's no way we're huntingaway help those kind of unspoken. There
are times when it's spoke, buthow would they say it. There's no
way we're hiring on one helmus.We'll be wow, it's so nuanced the
way they say that. By theway, there's no way we're hiring a
white dude to be in charge ofwhatever this thing is, because we've got
to have somebody else to do it. You know what's interesting about this too,
by the way, and that's MichaelGiordano, a senior vice president and
(01:16:15):
team lead at twentieth Century Television theWalt Disney Company. I sat in a
meeting one time in a radio placethat I was and heard a boss say
out loud that the next gig theywere hiring for a role at the company
would not go to a white dudebecause we had too many white guys in
a part of the company. Thisperson said that out loud, and in
(01:16:38):
a Chicago or in a you know, New York, or in a California
for Disney, I think that alot of the staff winds up not really
reacting to that, being like,oh, okay, it's fine, that
seems right, whatever you want todo, that seems appropriate for us too.
And then you hear about this throughouteverywhere else, and I'm sure there's
a lot of people in those placeswho do react. I am someone who
(01:16:59):
thought that it was saying that Iwas hearing it when it was said in
a room that I was in.But nonetheless, there's a lot of people
throughout the rest of the country thatthink to themselves, why would anyone not
only say this out loud, butalso think that this is a smart way
of doing business. Just hire thebest person for the job. Whoever the
best person is, just hire them. It also undercuts the I think significance
(01:17:19):
of people who get jobs sometimes tosay that, well, we weren't going
to hire a white guy for thatrole, because it makes you and everyone
else question, well, hold on, was there somebody better out there that
just so happened to be the wrongskin color or the wrong sex, and
so you didn't hire them other thanthis individual that we're now praising and saying
is the right person for the role. It takes away from all but it's
(01:17:42):
insane and James is so so goodat getting that audio. So that's the
newest one viral earlier today. Also, I should mention just quickly sad news
for anyone who's a fan of him, for sure, but Donald Sutherland passed
away earlier today at the age ofeighty eight. He had two Golden Globe
Awards, Critics' Choice Award, PrimetimeEmmy Awards to his name, someone who
(01:18:02):
became very well known as being ananti war activist, among other things,
of course, famous for stuff likethe Hunger Games movies or Bash. But
he passed away earlier today. Iwould be remiss if I didn't at least
mention that during the show. Allright, let's move on to this.
This is doctor Anthony Fauci on theView talking to the ladies on the View
(01:18:25):
about how Republicans are dirty, dirtypeople and investigating him for well, what
seems to be a whole bunch oflies. He told his emails seemed to
indicate that he was very aware ofthe reality of the Wuhan Lab not only
being a place that likely leaked COVIDnineteen, but also a place where money
was going from organizations that Fauci wasin charge of to study coronaviruses and whatnot.
(01:18:49):
All these things were true. Allthese things were denied as conspiracy theories
by Fauci and others. Even ifhe says now he never outright rejected that
theory. He often called it aconspiracy theory while discussing it. But here's
a little bit of the back andforth in the View with Fauci. So
good to see you. Before retiringfrom government in twenty twenty two, you
(01:19:11):
served under seven presidents of five partisanadministrations, fighting diseases like AIDS, a
Bolazige, and of course COVID,where you and I got to know each
other. You had addressed so manyof these ailments before and never faced the
backlash that you did from part ofthe country when you were working on COVID.
Did you see that coming. Wewatched it in real time. Now,
(01:19:31):
No, it was really unexpected because, as Alyssa said, I served
and advised seven presidents, Democrat andRepublican, both sides of the aisle,
and there's always been disagreements. Ofcourse, I mean, that's why a
country is a great country. Youhave people who have different ideological views.
But the disagreements were always associated withcivility, with respect for each other and
(01:19:58):
for respect for institution. Okay,here's one thing about that. When you
say that the disagreements were more respectfulback in the day than they are now,
I think part of the reason whyis more of those disagreements happen behind
scenes. Fauci was openly disagreeing withthe President of the United States and an
almost daily basis, will trying tocouch it, and I'm not, you
(01:20:18):
know, exactly doing that, butabsolutely that's what you were doing, which
almost seemed intent to embarrass him.The amount of respect for the office seemed
to have completely evaporated, not justfor Fauci but for a lot of the
anti Trump, the Trump arrangement syndromepeople out there, which is laughable.
Then to hear him say these sortof things, it's sort of like equating
(01:20:39):
it to a sports team. Andhow you know, back in the day,
any of the drama that's going onfor the team, no matter how
well they're playing, it's not happeningin front of the fans. They're doing
it at practice, They're doing itways where it's not heavily reported on,
and that keeps something in house,and I think that gives you the ability
to fix some sort of friction thatexists within members of a team better than
(01:21:03):
if it's all out there and beingcovered on the tabloids and whatnot. But
Fauci was willingly throwing himself anywhere hecould and saying things that seemed to fly
in the face of what Trump wassaying at the time, a little bit
more from Faucio in the government.So you could have a disagreement, but
at the end you try and compromise. What happened with COVID, as I
(01:21:25):
think was represented by the hearing afew weeks ago, was just pure at
hominem and vitriol, and that reallytook me by surprise. I thought that
it would be that kind of giveand take and respect each other's disagreements.
And that's the thing that worries me, not only about what I have to
face, but about the direction ofthe country and the social order in our
(01:21:46):
demodocras. Okay, this is comingfrom the people that were telling individuals who
didn't want to get a vaccine thatyou were the problem and you were killing
grandmothers. That group of individuals wassaying that you need to do your patriotic
duty, the duty to your fellowman, to go ahead and get yourself
vaccinated, because otherwise we're never gettingthrough this horrible pandemic that's taking lives,
(01:22:10):
and it's one hundred percent your fault. These same people are now saying civility
needs to return to society, evenas information has come out, information that
they knew that said that people whowere vaccinated were transmitting COVID just as much
as people who were not vaccinated.So they lied, and they lied again
and again, and they turned Americansinto the enemy of fellow Americans. And
(01:22:32):
now they're saying, how dare anyonetarget their anger at me? It's so
self serving, it's insane, LikeI would actually diagnose a lot of the
people in the world of our politicalsystem or celebrities, any of them as
clinically insane for the thoughts and thingsthey say, how willing they are to
be all about themselves and how they'redoing this. A Fauci seems almost indignant
(01:22:57):
to the idea that people would stilllike to challenge and his assertions during COVID
when again he basically told half ofthe country that you're evil and killing people,
and the other half of the countryneeds to make sure you know that
and treat you as such. Andnow those individuals want this to all go
away. They don't want us totalk about any of this anymore, because
how dare you have this conversation nowthat you were having, you know,
(01:23:21):
years ago, when your freedoms werebeing taken away, when you know,
stores were being shut down and livelihoodswere being taken away, and people couldn't
put food on the table for avariety of reasons. And absolutely one of
the after effects of all of thatshutting down is the inflation we see today.
Absolutely, you could tie those thingstogether fairly easily, and it's making
(01:23:44):
the lives of so many Americans very, very hard. The Supreme Court will
release a lot of decisions this week. I think Friday is when we're likely
to hear a lot of them.The Supreme Court did uphold a Trump era
a tax on foreign earnings. Thisis something that seems to be somewhat praised
by the left right now. It'sinteresting the things that the left seems to
(01:24:05):
like that Trump was actually responsible for, and there's a bunch of those.
But there are likely to be moredecisions on quite a few very important cases,
whether it's low profile abortion rights cases, social media cages, and of
course the Trump ability to prosecute orhis ability to have presidential immunity case.
(01:24:27):
Those are things that we'll probably bepaying attention to and looking out for over
the next few days. The SupremeCourt continues to make news. I usually
say it this way in some otherplaces that I do this gig. You
don't know about because mainstream media doesn'ttell you about the decisions that this current
makeup of the Supreme Court mate decidesthat are actually on the left that benefit
(01:24:51):
what the rhetoric is from that sideof the political aisle, and the reason
why you don't hear about it isit makes it much harder shape those decisions
that lean to the right as beingpolitically motivated. And you've got to stack
the court, and everything's so terribleand people need to recuse themselves. But
this Supreme Court actually has a fairlyinteresting track record of making quite a few
(01:25:13):
decisions that are not all over thenews, that wind up leaning the way
that say, the Democrats would likethem to go. Yes, they overturned
Roe versus Weight. Yes they didthings that wind up being the giant screaming
points, and even the stuff thatthe President attacked the Supreme Court for during
his State of the Union. Butif you pay close attention, you will
see that there are many more decisionsthan most people know about that actually demonstrate
(01:25:38):
the ability for this Court to operateon both sides of the political aisle,
which I think is obviously an intentionalthing that we're seeing done in order to
continue to bring a narrative out ofthe forefront of conversations. But keep your
eyes on a lot of the thingsthe Supreme Court decides this week, because
I'm sure some of them and notall, will be talked about ad nauseum
(01:25:59):

It's time for Dana's quickfive. Ido love this segment, all right.
First, a euro pm millionaire whorecently won the lottery. She's twenty
(01:26:42):
three years old, decided to hauloff and beat the crap out of her
boyfriend, even using a wooden chair, during what is called a furious drunken
argument. Her boyfriend's name is Jack. She apparently got very very mad,
harper for some reason about something.I have a genuine question, and I'm
gonna not answer it. I'm justgoing to ask it. How many dudes
(01:27:02):
would stay in the relationship as longas you weren't hurt too badly by a
woman acting like a WWE fighter andbreaking a wooden chair over your back.
If she's got a million bucks.She's not the best looking woman in the
world. Not trying to be mean, just saying, and it's a factor
for some. But do you staywith this level of crazy because the money
is there? I don't know.I don't have an answer. I'm just
(01:27:24):
throwing it out there. But that'sa crazy story in the news. Also
this there's a New York City mystery. A Porsche fell off of a This
was surprising to me, target parkinglot, a second floor level of a
target parking lot and flipped upside down. Cops not only found the broken Porsche,
they also found tons of money inthe undercarriage of the vehicle, along
(01:27:46):
with a cell phone that seemed tobe hidden there too. No answer as
to why the Porsche was pushed offof the second floor of the target parking
lot, who it belongs to,why there's money under it. Authorities have
a lot of questions. They haveno answers. The Porsche was stolen at
some point, they're saying, atleast they know that crazy. You're definitely
looking for somebody that's probably connected tosome other people, maybe someone that looks
(01:28:12):
like a character on The Sopranos.I don't know this is coming from an
East Coast Italian as I'm saying this, but a porch with a bunch of
money in it that feels like somethingyou should figure out. I have a
little bit of audio. This audiois of a woman who's very upset that
her coworkers took her very fancy pensoff her desk. I'm gonna play just
a little bit of it. Shestarts getting salty and using some bad language
(01:28:33):
towards the tail end of this viralvideo, so I can't play all of
it. But there's something about howupset she is over people taking pens that
I'm pretty sure she should have expectedgoing in. Here we go. I
need somebody out there to tell meif I am missing an office life social
cue. Here I went and Ibought myself some very nice and very unique
(01:28:55):
pens. Shouldn't done my desk itwork, yep, should have done use
Yeah, I guess within a coupleof days are disappearing. Yep. This
happened very casually. Mentioned to someof my coworkers, like, hey,
if you see my pens, ifyou can bring them back, that'd be
great, you know, maybe givesomebody an out of like, oh,
they took one and they don't wantit, but they took it. I
got you. They're not going todo that. I found it on someone
so's desks. Yeah, they're notgoing to tell you that. And by
(01:29:15):
the way, they probably all madefunny when you walked out of whatever room
you were in for trying so hardto get your pens back that you spent
way too much money on. Youdidn't need to go that road. But
she went viral and she's upset andpeople shouldn't take your stuff. I'm not
trying to advocate for it. I'mjust saying, this is the world we
live in, lady. I don'tknow how you didn't know that. One
last quick thing. A study foundout recently that women who answer questions in
(01:29:38):
surveys that say they prefer taller guystypically because they say there's some shoulder to
hip ratio a thing that's out there. When they say that, they also
seem to evaluate themselves as rather attractive. The study found that they said I
want a guy this much taller thanme, and then how good are you?
How good looking are you? Excuseme? And they said, ah,
(01:29:58):
I'm pretty good. I feel prettygood. So ladies who demand height
also apparently think of themselves in verypositive terms. Just putting it out there.
Don't shoot the messenger for the message. Quick break a lot more.

channel three forty seven YouTube. Brumbleeverything all right, real quick. One
(01:30:44):
of the debates going on yet again, this is not new. You've heard
this before. Actually, a lotof politicians seem to bring this up every
year, whether or not women shouldbe drafted. So I think it's Senate
Democrats are right now trying to makethe latest argument that women indeed need to
also be subject to forced enrollment ina draft, and if we ever needed
(01:31:05):
to draft individuals for a conflict,again, both women and men would be
at risk of being drafted. Thisis often something that never makes it all
the way to actually becoming a law. However, there are interesting variables to
this, and I always remember ChipRoy, I think it was last year
whenever I talk about this, sayingfiery things on the house floor in which
(01:31:30):
he claimed that if anyone tried todraft his daughter, they'd have to do
it over his dead body. AndI'm sure a lot of fathers agree with
him. They're like, you know, that's not happening out of my kid.
But the reason I'm mentioning this isbecause of some other viral audio from
the other day. This is nottalking about the draft specifically, but this
is Senator John Kennedy talking about thedifference between boys and girls, and at
(01:31:55):
some point I think he actually brokeout some crayons to help in his demonstration
of how biology, in fact,does you know, demonstrate that we're not
all the same, no matter whatsome in certain places of our society are
trying to tell us. I willplay some of this audio, and as
I said, at one point,there are crayons. I know it's the
radio so you can't see it,but I think it's a really interesting way
(01:32:18):
to tie two topics together. Theright for women to compete in women's athletics,
not against you know, biologically superiorathletes who are men that are saying
they're now women. But also theidea of this draft and why, in
fact it does make sense that it'sjust men who get drafted. But here
(01:32:40):
we go a little bit with SenatorKennedy between biological males and biological females explode
during puberty. Girls during puberty developedfourteen percent smaller hearts. Their lungs are
(01:33:00):
twelve percent smaller than girls. Youcannot debate that that's just a biological fact.
Yes, it is one of themany helps boys take in oxygen and
pump blood more efficiently than girls can. That gives boys a clearage in endurance
(01:33:25):
sports like swimming for example, cycling, right rowing, or I think actually
fighting and protecting our country. It'sone of several things that's obviously different about
men and women. But here's thething. So often in our society there
are people who want it both ways. They want you to say, yes,
absolutely, we do things in thiscertain way, with this certain set
(01:33:48):
of rules if it makes sense tous for whatever woke reason, we want
it to make sense. But thenwhen we flip the rules. When we
change the rules, we don't wantto abide by all the same things.
It's not to say that women can'tfight in our military. I don't want
anyone to run with whoever. Thatidiot was filling in for the Dana Lash
on the Danish show said that womenshouldn't be on our military. Of course
(01:34:08):
they should be, especially in aworld where it's a voluntary service. Those
who want to fight and protect ourcountry, I admire all of them.
I don't care if you're a manor a woman. If you want to
do that right now, if youwant to put your life potentially on the
line for my freedom, I supportyou. I respect you. And I've
seen people do amazing stuff with theright training, regardless of who they are.
(01:34:31):
And that might sound woke to say, but I've seen it. I've
actually seen it on a military basisbefore. And so as you say that,
you then realize that there is anutter difference between forced service and the
opposite of that, you know,voluntary service. And then, even more
so with this conversation, the willingnessto admit that, Okay, in some
circumstances, men and women are infact different. Actually this is my probably
(01:34:56):
favorite group to target this question withthis. I was in a college course
and I had a nutty professor orwhatever you want to call them, who
was going on this long rant aboutall the woke stuff. And I'm in
my late thirties, so this wasalmost twenty years ago now, but it
was the same rant that probably happenson college campuses throughout the entire country about
(01:35:18):
how there's no differences in this andthat and everything. And I remember I
just raised my hand in that classroomjust to ask the question. I don't
think I intended to troll everybody asmuch as it happened to do it.
And I asked about this. Iwas like, well, if we're not
any different, why are just menthe ones who get enrolled to, you
know, potentially be drafted and chaoserupted. And a bunch of the woke
(01:35:41):
women in my class that were eatingup all the things the professor was saying
were upset with me. They wereso so angry. How dare I say
something like that? And I thinkthat's where these conversations can be destroyed.
I think that's where the ideology ofsome can crater. And I do think
it'd be a lot of those,say suburban house moms who would be on
the same team I'm on in thinkingthat it would be wrong to draft their
(01:36:06):
daughters if they don't want to gofight in a conflict, to go fight
in a conflict. And yet atthe same time, there are a lot
of those very loud voices in certainplaces in our society telling us we have
to do this different and that different, and everything has to be a certain
way and it can't be any otherway. It's just interesting to think about
when those ideas start to crack,start to break, and start to profoundly
(01:36:30):
change other things out there in thenews. I thought this was interesting.
Russia, I think, very desperately, has turned two of all places,
North Korea, not exactly the partnershipthat's going to make as big of an
impact on Russia as it will onNorth Korea, and signed a partnership of
mutual aid, saying that if eitherof them are to face aggression of any
(01:36:50):
kind, the other country would stepin and act, similar to the NATO
agreement that exists between the United Statesand our allies. This is something of
Vladimir Putin turning to Kim Jung un, the tiny man I think as some
have described him out of North Koreaas one of the only people China,
(01:37:12):
of course a much more significant threatin partnering with Russia to stand in and
fight if there were ever to bea more significant conflict. And I wonder
if there's a aspect to this,because you've been hearing a lot in the
news that United States weaponry has beenused to attack things within Russia, something
(01:37:34):
that the US had claimed they wouldnot allow Ukraine to do. But it's
happening. And could that be interpretedas Russia has alluded to an attack by
the United States and Russia? Andthen would that kick in any sort of
desire, say, for North Koreato be in direct military conflict with US,
a military conflict that oftentimes Trump himself, who did also say he had
(01:37:56):
a good relationship with Kim Jung un, would would be a absolute horrible mistake.
And obviously it would be by NorthKorea because they cannot fight power as
strong as ours. But what Ithink this really screams. And I know
this might be a repetitive thought,I know you might hear it a lot,
but it makes sense to actually backit up with those things that happen
in the world that show us whatpeople are saying to you are in fact
(01:38:19):
true, just how weak Biden is. There's no fear between Russia and North
Korea to make a pact like this, an agreement like this, make it
public, demonstrate a willingness to fightoff whoever it is that they were to
be in conflict with. And Ido think that the reason we haven't seen
things like this before was a beliefthat the US military would act. And
(01:38:42):
it's not that our military has gottenweaker, it's the commander in chief is
someone that people know is a papertiger, if he's even someone who's aware
of what's going on at all.And so I find it absolutely fascinating and
utterly important to again point out howrare the these kinds of moves were by
China, Russia, North Korea,China insinuating that it might at some point
(01:39:06):
invade Taiwan, and even having militaryoperations that surround Taiwan. All of these
things are things you saw far lessoften just a few years ago. It's
not just the economy that was better, there were other things that were very
different. And it might be good, if this is the right way to
say it, to think that theperson in charge in our military is unpredictable
(01:39:28):
as opposed to utterly predictable and utterlyweak. But we have yet another example
of that here all One last thing. I just thought this was interesting.
Tom Elliott of Grabian, who's agreat social media account that you should absolutely
follow. He puts out these supercutsthat are hilarious and demonstrate a lot of
ridiculous things that happen in the worldof media. But he used his service
(01:39:50):
to look up how many times inthe last three days corporate media has talked
about cheap fakes, White House cheapfakes. Claim that these videos of Biden,
which are real, are you editedin some sort of way to make
you more convinced that his brain isbroken than it really is. Typically I
(01:40:10):
think they just zoom in on Biden, or they you know, are shorter
than they should be. But they'reall real, So you can't call them
deep fakes. You can't say theydon't exist. You're just saying that it's
it's inappropriately edited, which is tome hilarious. That's the weakest win anyone
is ever trying to get in theworld of political political back and forth.
(01:40:31):
But forty nine hours have been spentdiscussing cheap, fake talking points on mainstream
media. In the last three days, forty nine hours collectively, they've done
segments and conversations about how it's terribleand it's awful, and you know,
society and the political system that wehave is being absolutely upended by those who
(01:40:57):
do not tell the truth and lieto you. It's interesting because this feels
very similar to the Hunter Biden laptopstuff, where media and the left were
in lockstep on telling you that itwas fake, that it was Russian disinformation,
that Rudy Giuliani was horrible, andhe's the one who found it,
so you can't trust him. Theyshot the messenger, not the message,
(01:41:18):
and they're trying to do that again. They're trying to say that the people
putting out these videos that again they'readmitting are real, have a dastardly purpose.
They have a horrible, terrible purpose, and that purpose is letting you
know that the brain of our currentpresident is broken and it's not getting better,
it's getting slowly worse. And ifyou were a human, which all
(01:41:40):
of us are, you would wantfor his own mental health the guy to
go away. But if you're alsomad at the political system we're in and
lying, you would want them toat least admit the fact that he doesn't
even know how to get into ansuv that's the newest one. It takes
him way too long to get outof a plane, walk as a platform
and get into an suv. That'sthe current guy in charge of the country.
(01:42:04):
That's the guy that's so unintimidating thathe allows Russia and North Korea to
have a joint press conference announcing theirsupport of each other from a military standpoint.
In North Korea to say that theywant a lot of help from Russia
in developing nuclear weapons. That's theworld we're in because of the person that
we put in the White House.Well, I know a lot of people
(01:42:25):
don't think we did that legitimately,and that's fine with me. But the
person currently in the White House whohas so so many individuals and countries looking
at him and thinking, yeah,this guy's not that scary, and that's
bad for us. A quick breaka lot more Craig Collins filling in on
the Dana Show. Don't let Fomoget the best of you, stay in
the loop and ahead of the curveby following Dana on Apple, Spotify or
(01:42:49):
wherever you get your podcasts. Thisis the Dana Show. My name is
Craig Collins filling in. You canfind Dana all over the place. She
is a massive media celebrity. DanaLash or Dlash excuse me, on Twitter,
on x Dana Lash Show, aswell as one of many ways to
find her. She's or Dana LashRadio excuse me. She's on YouTube,
(01:43:13):
Rumble, Facebook, everything, andshe is back on Monday for anyone like,
who's this idiot of filling in forher for a couple of days?
All right? I love this veryquickly. A gen zer a woman who
is admittedly rather attractive. Her nameis Emily. You can look her up
if you want to Emily Web.I guess she's twenty five. She lives
in Australia. She had a hottake recently on the Internet where she said
(01:43:34):
if you're attractive as attractive as sheis, of course there's no such thing
as being homeless. She has nothad an apartment for quite some time.
She said that even though she's gota high income from some websites she works
on, she can't find the rightspot in Australia. But luckily, because
of her looks every single night thatshe goes out, she's got somewhere to
(01:43:55):
stay because of some very kind guythat's letting her, I assume crash on
the couch. We all know whatI'm actually saying there, what she's saying.
But she said, this is somethingthat all hot women need to know,
that you're never homeless. There's alwaysa free place to stay, there's
always a free evening to be had. To just live that life. She
no longer has any interest in findinghome quickly. She'll just keep going out
(01:44:17):
into the evening. People have othernames for this, by the way,
but she just calls it pretty privilege. I guess, so that's what that
is. I find that interesting.It was a hot take. Not everybody
agreed that being attractive means you're notactually homeless if you don't in fact live
anywhere officially. Also, this storywas just strange. The oldest wine ever
(01:44:39):
discovered apparently contains a horrifying ingredient.It's humans. It's cremated human remains.
This is from the Journal of ArchaeologicalScience. Amazing swimsuit issue for that journal.
I'm kidding, nobody has a goodswimsuit issue anymore. Anyway. The
University of Cardoba recently found that thiswine had really really creepy soilent green type
(01:45:02):
stuff in it. We don't knowwhy, we don't know what benefit that
provided to anyone that consumed it,but it made it even more horrific or
just stranger that this is the kindof thing that existed at some point in
our world. I guess things canalways be worse. As the lesson you
might learn from that sort of storyis that no matter how bad society seems
(01:45:23):
to be getting, at least we'renot drinking a wine that is soilent green.
All right, I know that withjust the last minute or so here
left, we do some news ofthe stupid, let's go ahead and fire
that off. Hey, Creig,are you doing jump it in here?
Anthony Fauci's on the view. Soyou had a lot of cuts there,
but I think this is the bestone so far. He was talking about
(01:45:44):
his disagreems with the Trump and nowthis is what his quote was. It
was is that when the CDC cameout and made the recommendations that when you're
indoors, we should be wearing masks. That was at the time that the
infections were going like that right,and when he got up and said,
well, it's a recommendation, butI'm not going to do it. I
choose not to do it. Iconsidered that a missed opportunity to use the
(01:46:08):
bully pulpit of the presidency to getpeople to do things. Yeah, yeah,
I remember that one, to usethe bully puppet of the presidency to
get people to do stuff that hewants you to do. Also, in
fact, all the studies came outto say that wearing masks was incredibly ineffective
at helping any of this. Sothat is today and stupid doctor Anthony Fauci
(01:46:28):
still defending himself. I think he'sone of the only guys that was a
face of COVID, or one ofthe only medical professionals that is admitting the
fewest mistakes. Even doctor Deborah Burkesin her book said there were things they
oversold, things that they misrepresented theAmerican people by a large. Fauci says,
everything they told us was science,and it was backed up by science.
(01:46:49):
But yeah, so that is todayand stupid. I have one too,
actually, if I can play itreal quick. A bank robber walked
into a wide open bank during noonand found that he could steal stuff,
so he did that. This wasin Florida. He actually got caught because
the cameras and whatnot. But opendoor, open bank. Hey man,
(01:47:10):
this is my free ticket to money. Here we go. We don't know
whether at noon when the bank employeesleft, if the accidentally left it unlocked.
We don't know if a cleaning crewcame after the fact and left it
unlocked. We don't know why.Blame the cret cleaning crew. By the
way, that was a mean shotby the Martin County sheriff. His name
is John. We don't know wholeft the door open. We know that
at least when Florida man tried totake all the money, Luckily he failed.
(01:47:31):
All right, that was today andstupid Craig Collins filling in on the
Dana Show Talk to Tomorrow.
