Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. You can find
Dana everywhere d lash or Dana Lash Radio, on x
on Twitter, all over television. She's everywhere, very very famous,
popular human being thrilled to be on her show. Let's
get to it. Joe Biden pardoned his son hunter in
one of the most ridiculous about faces, one of the

(00:22):
most ridiculous I lied to you for a while things
that has ever happened in the history of our government,
mostly because of how far reaching this pardon is. It's
any and all crimes from twenty fourteen onward. How dare
you even go after him for something tangentially tied to this?
You assume probably that Joe, our president for another couple

(00:45):
months or so, another month or so, is going to
actually pardon other members of his family proactively. And the
weirdest thing too, And I know I saw this a
lot of places reporting on this is the fact that
no one would have recommended a pardon for Hunter by
And because that's one of the bigger claims and the left,
And I'm gonna get to a bunch of audio in
a second, if they had actually looked through cases and thought, hey,

(01:08):
these are pardons you should give out before you leave
the office. And it wasn't the president's son. He's served
zero time in jail, so he's not the type of
person that would traditionally get a pardon anyway, No matter
who tells you that that's true, it's definitely not. But
let's start with this. This is audio from earlier today
Corine John Pierre, the White House spokesperson who is almost

(01:30):
arrogant in how she responded to questions for months asking
about whether or not Joe would pardon his kid and saying,
of course not. Of course the president wouldn't do that.
Was asked today about all the different times she and
this administration and the current president said they wouldn't do this,
and if that's kind of lying. I left the question
in because I like it from the reporter. And then

(01:51):
we'll get to the answer to you have.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Said repeatedly yourself since the election, the President has said
for months no pardon was coming. I just I wanted
to could those statements now be seen as lies from
the American people? Is there really a credibility issue here?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Given now this announcement.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Here I'm going to stop it before cariin John Pierre
actually speaks and tell you the answer to the question,
could you consider those lies?

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yes, you could consider those lies. I don't know what
else lies would be. If they're not. I won't pardon him.
I won't.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
I'll respect it. How dare anybody ask us this? He
went ahead and pardoned him.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
First of all, one of the things that the president
always believes is to be truthful to the American That
is something that he always truly believes. And if you
see the end of his I assume that you've read
his statement and you look at the end of that statement,
and he actually says that in the first line of
the last paragraph.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
And okay, well, don I also really like the fact
that she's asking for you to read the entire statement
that Biden put out pardoning his son and get to
the very bottom of it, because there right there, toward
the end of the statement, you're going to totally understand
and agree with him. Now, I can read that part
to you, and she's going to paraphrase it here in
a second. But guess what, a whole lot of Americans

(03:05):
won't agree with her. Shocking and respects.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
The thinking and how the American people will actually see
this in his decision making. And I would encourage everyone
to read and full a president's statement. I think he
lays out his thought process, he lays out how he
came to this decision. He came to this decision this weekend,
so let's be very clear about that.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
He's agonized about it. He went back and forth on it.
It was tough for him to decide to partn his kid.
And also, by the way, the thing that crying John
Pierre is not saying, but she is referencing, is that
he says as a father. So he puts it out
there on the emotional scale as to how could you
if you were someone's, you know, parent, and you were
in the position he's in, how could you watch your

(03:48):
kid go to jail, even if they deserve to go there?

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well, darn it.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
A lot of parents would say it would be a
tough thing to do, but it probably would be better
for the person to learn from their mistake by actually,
you know, paying the price, whatever that price may be.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
But donn it.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
I just love every part of this. I love the
ridiculousness of it. Biden doesn't care, and I don't think
there's any reason he should. I'm not saying that he
should have done this, But if you were him, if
you got shoved in the closet by your own political
party and told you're not allowed to be a candidate anymore,
even as you defiantly said as president of the United

(04:23):
States that you were the candidate, I think all.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Rules would be off for you.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
They say that Trump coming into the White House in
about a month or so will have no guard rails,
and that's a scary thing. Biden for the rest of
his term has no guard rails. He doesn't care about anything,
his legacy, none of it matters. And I think we'll
see more pardons for more family members, especially his younger brother,
because that's the only way to keep all of them

(04:48):
out of jail, and maybe even keep himself out of jail,
as those investigations would be more wide spread, more far
reaching once Biden isn't in the office of president himself anymore.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
I do love this.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Tom Elliott Grabian incredible at putting together the supercuts. I
knew he'd have one for this, and I'll just play
it's like nine minutes long. Because media said so many
times that this wasn't going to happen. And Biden said
so many times this wasn't going to happen, and everybody
around him said it that it's just too easy to
put together the supercut. But Tom's the expert. Here's what

(05:22):
he did.

Speaker 6 (05:23):
I think Joe Biden has a chance here to stand
up for the rule of law, to say the rule
the law is the law, no matter who it is,
no matter if it's Trump or Biden. And remember, part
of trump ISM's dangerousness is that it tears down institutions,
important institutions of our democracy. So there is an opportunity
here for Biden to say, you know, the jury found.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Him, will tear it down Base, this is how it's.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
Supposed to work. Period, paragraph end of store. Have you
ruled out a pardon for your son?

Speaker 8 (05:52):
Yes, As I said last week, I will accept the
outcome of this case and will continue to respect the
judicial process. As Hunter considers it a feel you know,
the President said he won't touch it. He said he's
not going to pardon his son. And it seems that
Mayor Garland let it go through. How can the Justice
Department be weaponized against Trump when all of that is happening.

Speaker 9 (06:11):
But Democrats stand for the rule of law. Remember law
and order.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Oh my god, you know. And we've been.

Speaker 9 (06:16):
Saying that Trump's not above the law. Hunter Vinen's not
above the law. No one is above the law, and
it is.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
That's something that our president even tweeted, no one is
above the law. But it doesn't work out so well
when some people are.

Speaker 10 (06:26):
A politicized Justice Department, Biden politicizing it and so on.
What happened today the Justice Department convicted the president's own son,
mainly living son. You heard the President say he would
accept the outcome of the case. I know no other
word for that, but presidential.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 11 (06:48):
He even went so far as to say he wouldn't
pardon his son. That's how much respect he has for
the system.

Speaker 7 (06:53):
President has said that.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Oh my god. I'm sorry. There's so much more of this.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I could play this for another ten minutes and enjoy
it probably is whuch as you do. I enjoy it
with anger. I should say it that way. It's not
just enjoyment. I'm not just happy about it. I'm seething internally.
You can't tell. I don't want you to be able
to tell because of how ridiculous this all is, and honestly,
and I hate to do this, like genuinely, I do

(07:18):
hate to make this turn in this conversation, but you
can't not make it. The election itself demonstrated how many
Americans understand the lies they've been told by the side
of the aisle that claims to be the good guys,
in my opinion, the winning of the popular vote, which
we hadn't seen a Republican do, and even as Democrats

(07:40):
try to claim that it means something else now a
very silly semantic argument is occurring. But all the different things,
the winning in a landslide, even though again you're told
it was really really close as well. All of that
demonstrates that most Americans have become wiser to the crap
that they're dealt on a daily basis by mainstream media,
legacy media, whatever you want to call it, and by

(08:01):
Democrats specifically, and trying to convince you not even to
look into them, not even to be skeptical of the
things they say, which is when people do the worst
stuff is when they tell you there's nothing to see here.
That's usually when you can see a whole lot. I
love the fact too, and again love with rage. I
guess that the pardon is so sweeping, so significant that

(08:24):
comparing it to anything in American history, you have to
go back to Nixon to talk about something where someone
actually pardoned an individual with the level of stop looking
at all in this direction or toward this person in
any way, shape or form. Hunter Biden and former President
Nixon can be in the same sentence. They can be
in a very different version of Mount Rushmore. There's just

(08:46):
something unique about that. All Right, I need a palate cleanser.
I don't know if you need a palate cleanser, but
I do after that discussion. This one, to me is crazy.
This is a young woman. She went viral on social media,
not only claiming that she has to punish and women
in general have to punish anyone that voted for Trump,

(09:07):
anyone that voted Conservative.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
But saying it's already happening. Like a matter of fact.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
She says, of course, any sort of Republican man out
there is no longer enjoying himself in the bedroom, I
guess is the way to say it.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Let's let her say it as well.

Speaker 12 (09:22):
So who's going to tell these Republicans do too voted
for Trump, and then can't get laid because women don't
want to sleep with men anymore because you lost her
reproductive rights. In Project twenty twenty five seeks to eliminate
all forms of contraceptives. That Project twenty twenty five also
bans portn.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Who's gonna tell him that?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Who's going to tell him all the things they've lost
now because of what horrible stuff has happened. Even though, again,
in a whole lot of states, the one thing she's
saying exists does not exist. You have, at least as
she describes them, reproductive rights. I'm not sure that's exactly
what I would say about it, But nonetheless, a whole
lot of states, our abortion is still legal. And I
love that she's saying out loud, and a whole lot

(09:59):
of people commenting, like, you go, girl, we're going to
do that too, a version of things, and actually, if
you dive into the data, which is also kind of amusing,
there were quite a few young women who voted for
Trump across the board, not as many young men. Young
men actually favored Trump to Kamala Harris. Young women did not.
They favored Harris to Trump, but nonetheless some of them

(10:20):
voted the other way, I wonder what she says to
those ladies and their happy relationships that they're in, and
I imagine a whole lot of other people in happy
relationships too. One last thing, you know, I played a
palette cleanser, but I'm going to play this as well,
and I can't help it. And maybe we'll talk about
it more as we go here, just because it's so amazing. Well,

(10:41):
of course we'll talk about this more. Cash Betel is
actually a huge conversation over the last however many days,
it's been since this weekend when he was nominated as well,
and there's so much fear mongering, so much craziness, and
so much discrediting of his actual career, which Cash has
had a significant career in the world of you know,

(11:05):
the FBI, being a federal prosecutor, add chief of staff,
a member of the NSC, it goes on and on.
So certainly a qualified individual, but someone who's a terror
to the left and left media, and also a terror
to anyone that wants to just claim that he's a
loyalist and not significantly you know, experience for the job.

(11:27):
And by the way, i'll just mention this, several former
FBI directors never worked in the FBI, so that's that's
interesting that the ones that were nominated in the past
didn't have the type of qualifications that cash Bettel has.
But let's not say that too loud. But here's a
little bit of MSNBC getting just mad about this nation.

Speaker 13 (11:45):
You have to feel to pay people, you need to
be able to execute massive plans, and you know, it's
just a massive busting. It's a huge agency is it's
sprawling all over the US with various you know, offices.
It's so much more more complex than one, you know,
forty four year old former public defender who put up

(12:07):
a memo, you know, saying that the FBA bought the
Russia hoax.

Speaker 7 (12:12):
It's like, you know, you need credentials.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Fits kind of job, You need credentials. How dare he
have them?

Speaker 1 (12:19):
And us not say out loud that he has them,
because he's got more than others who again are leading
or have led that organization in the very very recent
past and currently of course as well. All right, quick break,

Speaker 1 (14:11):
filling in. Let's do a quick five.

Speaker 17 (14:16):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quick five.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
I know that yacht rock is a term that actually
does offend a lot of people in the world of music.
Certainly it defends at least one member Steely Dan Donald
Fagan was on a phone call with a producer for
a documentary titled yacht Rock, and apparently this made him
quite mad.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
The audio has gone viral.

Speaker 7 (14:40):
Here we go, Hello, mister Fagan. Yeah, this is this
is Tea.

Speaker 18 (14:44):
Yeah, Hi, this is Garrett. I'm the one making this
yacht rock documentary. So I've been talking to a lot
of people that have played with you and Steph Ganner
over the years, and I was wondering if you'd sit
down with me and talk about your music in this
genre and what genre is that?

Speaker 7 (15:01):
Yacht rock? Oh yeah, well I'll tell you what do
you yourself?

Speaker 4 (15:11):
He did hang up on you.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Other members of Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, one of them
actually did take part in a documentary that's coming out.
But I love that a yacht rocket term actually coined
in two thousand and five to connect certain music to
southern California and voting, and not as something that Steely
Dan would describe themselves as creative, or at least some
members of said ben Women are getting sterilized after Donald

(15:34):
Trump's victory.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
This is according to Newsweek.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
They put out an article they interviewed some women who
had their tubes removed and all kinds of very horrible,
sad stuff. This is crazy, And of course, of course
I hope that people in these people's lives are telling
them it's crazy to make a permanent decision like this,
But some women are claiming it's the only option. And
that's the world we live in right now. By the way,

(15:58):
not all bad news for women in the world. I
guess I should say Belgium. Their sex workers won maternity
pay and pension rights in a world first. That's being
praised in certain places on the internets as a good thing.
But now not only do you get sick leave, you
also get a pension, and as I said, you get
maternity pay if you have to take a long amount

(16:20):
of time off in that profession, in that place.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
That is an interesting thing to say out loud. And finally, one.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Of the other crazy quick five stories that I might
actually get to sooner.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
I was the world of college football a lot.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
You had a lot of really fantastic things and interesting
things happened. You had an eight overtime game that sadly
george Is still won. I was definitely cheering for Georgia Tech,
the underdog at that point. And then you had Michigan
defeed Ohio State yet again. Ohio State was the number
two ranked school in the country, probably not going to
be that after losing to Michigan.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
An unranked team that just owns them.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
It reminds me as a Yankee fan of Yankee fans
cheering Who's your Daddy at Pedro Martinez because Michigan could
easily chant that anytime they're matched up against Ohio State,
at least in the recent past, because well they've continued
to somehow beat and crush that school. But those two
things in the world of college football were a wildly
fascinating and again I might get to some of it later.

(17:16):
Eight overtime games are a special thing and actually probably
demonstrate some of the flawed rules of college football. Maybe
I'll talk about that later too. Creig Collins filling in
on the Danish Show.

Speaker 14 (17:26):
Hillsdale is an excellent educational institution, and Hillsdale founded in
eighteen forty four. They're about education that embraces teaching students
the principles that the things that hold up this republic.
They embrace learning, character and faith. And you know, a
lot of colleges I don't know what they're teaching kids today,

(17:47):
like just so many ways to view America negatively, and
Hillsdale does the opposite, and they showcase why America is
the free, to freest and most prosperous nation in history.
They honor and teach about the ideas and values that
built this country. And so with Hillsdale they have their
free speech digest and primus that's one of the ways

(18:07):
that they get involved in this educational and liberty evangelism,
so to speak. They have their deep dive educational podcasts.
They've been giving up free pocket constitutions, but you don't
have to be and these just go to show you
don't have to be at their campus and so they're
Michigan to take advantage of it. Take some time to
learn more about what makes Hillsdale College unique. You can
visit Dana four fo or Hillsdale dot com and learn

(18:30):

but also reach out to the community. That's Dana four

Speaker 4 (18:50):
This is the Dana Show.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
My name is Craig Collins filling in Thrilled to be
with you. Trump is threatening tariffs again, something that worked
incredibly well the first time he did it, when he
was targeting places like Canada, Mexico and China. Seems that
the response for many, including even Trudeau, saying that they
had a really great meeting recently when he returned from

(19:12):
his trip to talk to Donald Trump. Now he's doing
it again. The places he's targeting are part of the
Brick Alliance, Briseary, Brazil, excuse me, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran,
and the United Arab Emirates, a lot of places that
are trying to undermine the use of the US dollar

(19:32):
in global currency. Fifty eight percent of the world's foreign
exchange reserves are in US dollars. And this is something
that Trump cares about and you should care about, and
something he's going to try to do something about. And
tariffs seems to be the best planned forward I think
one hundred percent. If they don't do more to not
try to undercut us as much as they have been,

(19:53):
that is very interesting.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
All right.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
One of the biggest topics of conversation, as I said today,
is cash bettel and it's been for the last couple days. Actually,
First what's amazing, and I'm going to keep saying this
because it's I think going to keep being true about
a lot of the people that Trump is nominating for
positions within his cabinet, within his administration. If they've been

(20:18):
critical of the department or the organization they're going to
wind up in charge of. That's not a bad thing,
that's not inherently bad, Like, oh, this person that's going
to wind up in control of something thinks that there's
broken things within it. Something that I'll remind everyone who's
ever listening to the show that most Americans agree with

(20:39):
they think Washington is broken. The pardoning of Hunter Biden
is just the latest example of a corrupt, ridiculousness to
the people that are in the have and the people
that are the have nots within DC, all the have nots,
by the way, or us the people.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Who put them in positions of power.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
But nonetheless, cash Betel himself said it was an honor
of a lifetime to be nominated and that together he
will instore, he will restore together with Trump, integrity, accountability,
equal justice to all you know through our justice system,
and a return to the FBI with its rightful mission
protecting the American people. This is not inherently a bad

(21:20):
thing to want or inherently a bad plan to have,
no matter how many mainstream media outlets tell you it is.
And actually I'll even play some Cash Betel audio and
there's so much of it out there that demonstrates why
he's such a great pick for this role, for this job,
and that exposing the corruption in our government will be

(21:43):
a lasting legacy if it actually works. Of Donald Trump,
something he promised to do before he got into office
the first time. The biggest criticism of him, I think
is that it didn't happen. And I know the biggest
defense of that is how hard it is to, you know,
rip out all the corruption in a place like DC.
But this time around, especially with the appointments he's making,

(22:04):
it feels as though that subjective one along with anything
he does via executive order, but that feels like the
main plan. And it again isn't bad for us. It
is bad for the system that is going to fight it.
But here's a little bit of cash hotel.

Speaker 15 (22:19):
The biggest problem the FBI has had has come out
of its intel shops. I'd break that component out of it.
I'd shut down the FBI Hoover building on day one
and reopening the next day as a museum of the
Deep State. And I take the seven thousand employees that
work in that building and send them across America to
chase down criminals, go be cops.

Speaker 7 (22:36):
Your cops, go be cops.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Okay, I love that, And I can play a little
bit more of what he said in this statement or
this I think podcast interview he did a while back.
He's not firing people. One of the big, you know,
fear mongering things of a lot of the individuals who
claim the Trump appointees are going to rip apart departments,
although the Department of Education might be one that goes away,

(22:59):
and that wouldn't be so bad, I don't think for
a whole lot of Americans and their kids. But nonetheless,
when you say this sort of stuff, you're not firing
those people. You're sending them into the real world to
do the actual work of the FBI, chase down criminals,
as he says it, and not trying to get one
cushy government job after another, which he also mentions being
the objective right now, rip out the bureaucracy and the

(23:22):
thing that's feeding itself and see how people react to
actually having to do real work instead of just letting them,
you know, get canned and look for some other place
of employment.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
I think that's a really interesting message.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
He also said this about the January sixth FBI potential
involvement narrative and how you know focused he'd be on it,
which also seems to be a big thing that say,
many in the current you know world of that government
job or in that government you know building, are not
going to be so happy about.

Speaker 15 (23:55):
What you need to show is whether or not the
FBI and government agents we're using undercover operatives and informants
on the day of January sixth. Yes, if you can
show that, you know they've been out hang on. But
the paperwork shows having run informants. That's a six month
build up minimum, right minimum. It's not like they just
dropped them into the Proud Boys and said, hey, go
don't disrupt please. Once you prove that, then you defeat

(24:18):
the insurrection narrative with the FBI's on documentation. Forget what
the videotape shows.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
That is incredible to me to say that out loud too,
and to put someone with that opinion into a position
of power in the FBI, because yeah, if there's a
paper trail demonstrating involvement for months at a time in
what inevitably becomes January sixth, and then the liberal narrative,
that further changes what actually occurred that day. It would

(24:45):
be incredible to see those receipts. See, that's the thing.
I guess this is the right way to say it.
I am obsessed with the idea that we'll get to
see receipts because of the decision making of Donald Trump,
the election into all office this time, and the people
he's putting, the outsiders he's putting into positions of power.
Because that's all I really want. You can talk talk

(25:08):
to me all you want till you're blue in the
face about you know, the twenty twenty election, about that
whatever name. The conspiracy theory that you want to tell
me is legitimate. Right now, you don't have the ability
to point to these vast amounts of released private you know,
secret information, top secret whatever things that might actually become

(25:29):
public information this time around, because you simply can't ignore it.
Having Elon Musk be in charge of Twitter, in charge
of X means that mainstream media looks ridiculous if they
ignore giant stories, and they still do it all the time,
but the American people are noticing they, you know, ignore
giant stories where definitive receipts have been released, Even the

(25:51):
Hunter Biden laptop thing, is now accepted differently by your
most hardcore liberal friends than it was before if they've
paid attention into even a little bit of news, and
how many things happen before, say the pardoning of Hunter Biden.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
But nonetheless I can move on.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
I just think it's fantastic to have someone like this
in a position of power and the amount of crazy
freaking out that occurs, because why wouldn't the regular everyday
American want the systems to be deeply checked for flaws.
It'd be like if you own a home and you
don't care at all about seeing if there's anything broken

(26:27):
in it. Ever, like you don't have the inspection before
you buy it. You don't actually look into any details
as to whether or not the electrical and everything is
working well. What's the problem with potential highly critical oversight
and then the ability for us to judge the receipts
that are the byproduct of that, Because that sounds like
what they're promising us and what they've been promising us

(26:49):
for a while. I don't know how that's bad. All right,
let's talk a little bit about this California state senator
who popped up on Face the Nation. His name is Steve,
I don't think you really care much about out state
senators in places in California. You might, but nonetheless he's
saying that they're going to fight deportations because California and
other woke states are telling you that somehow this is

(27:12):
racist and horrible, especially if the people are criminals.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
They don't seem to make that distinction.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Well, criminals beyond being here illegally, that is already a crime.
But the other stuff that happens the dangerous individuals, and
there's a lot of them according to any new data.
But this is the saying out loud, we're going to
use taxpayer dollars to defend them. By the way, something
that's a big story today for a different reason, but
here's a little bit of this audio from over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
There doesn't have to be a conflict unless that's what
Trump wants.

Speaker 19 (27:42):
The governor has called a special session that will convene
this week to set aside money to battle the Trump administration.
Will some of that money also be set aside to
protect migrants and undocumented immigrants in California as they seek
either legal advice or continued legal financial backing to support
their efforts to stay within California and the United States.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Well, the people who are not here legally get money
from you to stay here illegally.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah. Again, if the first time administration is any indicator,
we know that there will continue to be a lot
of fear in communities and communities that deserve to know
what their rights are and what their rights are are
not And so if it's legal assistance, legal advice, legal support,
that's just the California way we embrace.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
We embrace our ability to use your money to do
things that a whole lot of American people are claiming
is not going well for them, is not helping them,
is hurting them. By the way, in other news, in
the same sort of discussion of avik Ramaswami was one
of the first people to put it out there that
apparently one of the hotels that has been getting a
crap ton of money from New York City to house

(28:53):
people here illegally to feed them all kinds of stuff
is actually owned by a foreign country, which essentially means
that a whole bunch of New York City tax payers
have been giving money the Pakistani government for quite some
time and they weren't aware of it. Two hundred and
twenty million dollars to rent the entire Roosevelt Hotel in
Manhattan housing illegal immigrants, money being given again to a

(29:18):
company that is essentially just the government of Pakistan. How
crazy are these stories and how you know real they are?

Speaker 4 (29:26):
How this isn't like just like made up news.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
It feels like the Onion or at least I guess
the Babylon b if it's not being as one sided
as the other platform can be. But it's just it's
amazing to see story after story like this and to
again think about the fact that they're crapping all over
the pick. But people like va Vaik and Elon being
in charge of trying to have oversight over a government waste,

(29:53):
that's not going to be a bad thing. That could
be an incredible thing, especially if they use their platforms
in media to give a the real stories to demonstrate
why this is important, which is I think part of
the plan. As I said a second ago, and I'll
keep saying throughout the day to day, all right, one
other quick thing and then we'll take a break. There
is some viral audio of President Biden being very proud

(30:16):
of himself. This was years ago, but he was openly
talking about how he got in the way, had direct
involvement preventing, say, the US government from some of the
things that were happening in Ukraine, coersing Ukraine into dismissing
prosecutor that was going after a barisma. This is really

(30:39):
interesting after you realize now that you know Hunter Biden
needed a pardon from his presidential dad to get out
of a lot of this stuff.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Because the biggest.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Other claim that definitely matters moving forward is what President
Biden knew about the business dealings of his son. Of course,
a lot of us think he knew a lot of things,
and the money he was getting at times, some of
it public, most of it probably hidden better is important
and a path to charging Joe Biden with a whole

(31:10):
lot of crimes himself. But this is him saying, and
again a while ago at a Council of Foreign Relations event,
that he was proud of the way he got involved
and prevented some things from happening and also pushed for
some other things to happen, Which is, I don't know bad.
Can I say bad?

Speaker 4 (31:27):
I think I can say bad?

Speaker 20 (31:28):
Here we go, they made I mean, I'll give you
one concrete example. I was not II, but it just
happened to be that was the assignment I got. I
got all the good ones, uh huh, And so I
got you, Craig.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
I love that he said that it's just an assignment
I happened to get, not one that I begged for,
which seems to actually be true.

Speaker 20 (31:47):
And I remember going over convincing our team or others
to convincing that we should be providing for loan guarantees.
And I went over, I guess the twelve thirteenth time,
I'm to Kiev.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
And interesting, and I was going, said Hunter was on
the plane for a lot of those trips, by the way.

Speaker 20 (32:04):
Supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee.
And I had gotten a commitment from Porshenko and from
Yatsunyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor,
and they didn't. So they said they were walking out
to Prescomte. I said no, I said, I'm not going
to go or we're not going to give you the
billion dollars. They said, you have no authority, you're not

(32:26):
the president. The president said, I said, call him. I said,
I'm telling you're not getting a billion dollars. It's crazy,
you're not getting the billion. I'mould be leaving here, and
I think it was what six hours? I look at
I said, I'm leaving it six hours. If the prosecutor's
not fired, you're not getting the money.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
That is insane.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Again, in height of or in light of all the
information that we've learned now about Hunter, about everything else,
that he's so proud of that moment as the vice president,
going beyond the authority he's supposed to have to do
whatever it is.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
He feels like he can do.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
How to push someone out that was actually actively probing
Bereeze again, a company deeply tied to Hunter Biden and
deeply tied to the Ukrainian government. So many questions, so
few answers, but hopefully a bunch of answers coming in
the next few years. Quick Break a lot more. Craig
Collins filling in on the data show.

Speaker 14 (33:14):
Life can take a toll on our bodies. There's no
way around it. And whether it's just sitting for hours
on end at your computer or if you're working a
physical job over time, your body pays the price. There is, however,
an effective way to turn back the clock. On pain.
Relief Factor developed by doctors. Relief Factor helps support your
body's response to inflammation and the difference. Instead of just

(33:35):
masking pain, Relief Factor helps eliminate it for good and
it's one hundred percent drug free. My husband Chris has
taken Relief Factor with incredible results. So if the pains
that come with living a full life are affecting you,
do as many others have done and turn back the
clock on pain with Relief Factor. Their three week quick
start is just nineteen ninety five. That's less than a
dollar a day, and when you feel good, it's amazing

(33:57):
how much more you get out of life. Visit realtor
dot com or called one eight hundred four relief. That's
one eight hundred the number four relief. Try it for
only nineteen ninety five and turn back the clock on
pain with Relief Factor. Relief Factor dot Com.

Speaker 16 (34:14):
Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show
podcast where every update comes with a little dash of
not so serious on YouTube, Apple or wherever you get
your podcasts.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
Filling in the twelve Days of Christmas are even more
expensive than they've been in the past, something that's sort
of fun and also vastly depressing for us to do
every single year around this time. The twelve presents mentioned
in the last verse of the well known Christmas Carol
would cost about fifty thousand dollars or about six hundred

(34:48):
and seven hundred bucks less than that. This is an
increase of twenty five hundred and thirty three from last year.
Even though they told this inflation's going great and everything's fine.
One of the biggest part problems is not the partridge,
but the pear tree. Apparently that's skyrocketed in price. But
a whole lot of things very expensive. Just so you know,
if anyone was planning on going after all the gifts,

(35:10):
that would be a horrible mistake financially, And I wouldn't
you feel all that great for you? Another thing, just hilarious.
So the Miami Hurricane Hurricanes lost to Syracuse over the weekend.
They were the sixth ranked team in the nation, so
that was a pretty bad loss. Not the biggest conversation
though about Miami in the last day or two. It's

(35:33):
actually been that their mascot, Sebastian the Ibis asked out
a very attractive reporter on the sidelines during the game,
did a fake proposal to be silly, but then stood
up and actually asked for her number to call her and.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
She said no.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
And so the debate on social media is who took
the bigger l the Hurricanes themselves for losing to an
unranked Syracuse or the mascot for shooting a shot and
getting shot down immediately. I'd go mascot, I think more
so than anything else. I'm not sure if you should
have at least taken like the head of the thing
off to show her what he actually looked like, if

(36:10):
that would have given him a better chance or not.
But I find this deeply hilarious. I don't know exactly why.
I know Barstool and other places are enjoying it, and
I am too, But hey, donal, I don't fault the
guy if he saw her laughed any of the mascot
hijinks that went on during the game. Maybe he thought
that there was an inn, Maybe he thought he had

(36:31):
a chance. And so I do back guys trying to
go for getting the number. I think that a lot
of people are afraid to do that now, So I'm
proud of the young man, even though again it's a
bigger l than the Miami hurricanes took. And that's saying
a lot all right, quick break a lot more Craig

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Thrilled to be in for her for the day real quick.
I do love a tweet that went viral, bouncing all
over a lot of people adding to the list of
the things we were lied to about. I can just
quickly tell you them that inflation is transitory, Afghanistan was
a success, the border is secure, Biden is fine, and

(38:38):
people that were looking into Biden lied.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Videos or cheap fakes.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
That was my favorite. They're not deep fakes, but they're
cheap fakes. When you saw videos of Biden's brain not working,
something that eventually most Americans agree had to be a thing.
Biden was jet lagged, he had a cold, he isn't
going to be replaced, and he isn't going to parton
Hunter Biden. All those things just some of the many
lies you've been told during this administration's time in office.

(39:05):
All right, let's do this. Of course, the pardoning of
Hunter Biden is one of the biggest stories out there,
and deservedly so, mostly because of all the amount of time,
like the ridiculous amount of times we were told that
this wouldn't happen. But more so than just the you know,
horrificness of the about face or the embarrassment of the

(39:28):
about face, is the money that got spent on this.
The money that got spent on going after Trump too,
is kind of amazing when you look at all of it.
Three point four million dollars three point five million in
that ballpark is the amount of money that the government
used to go after Hunter Biden and to try him
for the gun related charges, for tax evasion.

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Charges, all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
They were already at two and a half million, six
months into everything before they decided to reassess an actually
truthful go after Hunter Biden, which eventually led to the
pardoning that happened just a little while ago. A taxpayers
also spent eighteen million on Jack Smith and his cases
going after Donald Trump. That's a whole lot of just

(40:14):
wasted money twenty you know, one, twenty two, twenty three
million dollars, depending on what assessment you look at, just
flush down the toilet to do a whole lot of
things that either seemed absolutely politically motivated or that are
now being claimed to be politically motivated by the current president.
That's my favorite. Other part if I have one to

(40:37):
the way in which Joe Biden, our president, put out
a statement saying that he was pardoning his son is
he makes several references to a deep political, corrupt process
that went after Hunter because his name is Biden. It
sounds an awful lot like all the things Trump says
about all the unfair investigations into him. And actually, there's

(40:59):
one other thing I can't get over this. I'll play
some audio in just a second that I find interesting too.
But I think NBC News put out a opinion piece,
they're the ones that published it, talking about how many
journalists have left X about twenty two thousand. I'm not
sure if we'd all call them journalists, but that's what

(41:21):
their byline says they are. And the twenty eight thousand,
five hundred or so that have joined Blue Sky, which
is trying to be the old version of Twitter all
over again, that censor's just one side of a discussion.
This is a genuine question, and I actually want to
ask it in a genuine way, even if it's going
to seem a little snooty or snarky or whatever you

(41:43):
want to call it. If you're really a journalist, if
your desire is to tell the truth to the world,
why would you run away from a platform that allows
you to say whatever you want, that allows you to
engage people who don't think you're telling the truth, that
allows you essentially to fight whatever disinformation and misinformation you

(42:04):
see is out there directly, and go to a platform
that's just going to hide that stuff. If if you
were actually after the truth, which you know journalists of
old were after, I think they'd love to be on
a Twitter, at least what they claim Twitter to be.
And I don't agree with them on what they say
it is, but if it's a platform where a whole

(42:25):
lot of people that disagree with you are willing to
pay attention or go after you or whatever you think
they're doing, and you can just refute them with facts.
Those can live on that platform and be there for
anyone else to see and be influenced by. But that's
not actually the point. The point of a lot of
these journalists isn't to go after a topic or issue

(42:47):
and give you more data and more, you know, truthful
information to sway your opinion. It's to remain in their
echo chamber. And so a whole lot of journalists are
demonstrating to you how much issue, how much of an
issue they have with a fair platform, and how much
desire they have for an unfair one, so that you
just accept everything they say is true without the counter argument.

(43:10):
It's incredibly disappointing or lazy or whatever other words you
want to choose to use to see this published by
an NBC or anyone else as like a good thing,
Like now we know that a blue sky is a
more valuable platform because the journalists who are afraid of
conversations are running to it and running away from the

(43:31):
other one. That's essentially like begging to be a lawyer
that only takes cases that you know you'll win, that
you think every part of you is like, oh, okay,
I know what's set up here, I know who the
jury is. I know I'll win regardless of the facts.
That's not actually trying to fight the good fight. Man,
and the journalists always want us to believe that. It's
horrible to say out loud that they're you know, biased

(43:54):
or corrupt too.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
It's terrible. How dare anyone think those things?

Speaker 1 (43:59):
Apparently they just want to be in their place where,
you know, they have the easiest ability to hide from
any of that scrutiny. To me, hilarious and also awful.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
All right.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
There are some other appointments that were made by the
soon to be president, the former president, the incumbent, Donald Trump.
One of those is out of Florida and at Tampa,
a place that I actually am right now, and so
it's pretty interesting to see some of the reaction to
it and some of the discussion points on it. Chad
Cronister is the guy's name. He's been nominated for DEA

(44:34):
Administrative in a DEA administrator position. Dana herself even tweeted
about the problem that exists there, the double edged sword
that is this individual when it comes to his you know,
being kind of a proponent of some of the lockdowns
or some of the threats that he made during the
coronavirus pandemic that now look horrible. That's not the only thing.

(44:58):
I also heard from some people about this individual that
depending on who you ask within law enforcement, a veteran
police officer himself, that there are people that believe that
he's not a cops cop, or believe that he's someone
that's not you know, necessarily, and I don't know how
many people. It might be a very small amount, and
that's important to say, but people that think he's kind

(45:19):
of out for himself, that he's angling for whatever promotions, whatever,
you know, jumps up he can get. I know, granted,
as I say that, there's a whole lot of people
who would also say that he's great. From what I've
heard just on the streets, I feel like that sounds
like I'm just walking the streets asking people what they
think of him. But some of the information that has
been bouncing around, especially even on social media, and then

(45:42):
the other biggest criticism of him, and this is the
thing that I thought was most fascinating, is how much
money he spent to put his name on stuff so
when he first gets into his most recent role as
a you know, head of law enforcement in the area,
he made sure that people knew because he had cars
repainted and had things added them or re you know,

(46:04):
put different covers and things on them to make sure
that his name was plastered all over the city. And
that seems like a tremendous waste of money and an
absolute focus on a person being his individual level of
success and not necessarily, you know, doing the good thing,
the right thing for the people in this area or

(46:25):
any other And it's not Tampa specifically, it's the surrounding area.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
I should say that correctly.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
But nonetheless, I just thought it was really interesting that
you hear these differing opinions and filling in for Dana today.
Of course, I look and see what she's talking about
in social media, and she is a critical of that position.
I don't want to take, you know, anything away from
her telling you herself, but I saw it out there
on Twitter that it certainly is something she doesn't agree

(46:50):
with because of the differing positions on lockdowns or deep
state government stuff. And it's even more concerning when you
think that this person might be out for themselves, which
a whole lot of people I think in those places
in government are and it leads me to talking a
little bit more about Cash Betel just quickly, and maybe
we'll get to this more in a little bit. Of course,

(47:11):
he's a huge topic of conversation. He's said many things
about desiring to go after the career bureaucratic politician, people
that exist within the FBI, people who don't do the
job every day that they're actually supposed to do, which
is go after criminals. That he'd essentially close some buildings
and send people out into the world instead of letting

(47:34):
them sit behind a desk and angle for their next promotion.
It all sounds like the type of individual at least
some people in the area in Florida which I'm in
think that maybe one of these individuals also could be
someone out very much for themselves. And I wanted to
play something else from Cash Betel. This is him talking
about the Epstein book, the Black Book, the thing that

(47:57):
people wonder, hey, what names are in there? What people
would be protected by this not being information that's available
to the public. He says, of course he knows exactly
who's who's in charge of it, and it's interesting. If
he's someone who gets confirmed to his role that he's
nominated for, it would probably be him. So again, the
ability to give us receipts is going through the roof

(48:18):
in a lot of these cases.

Speaker 17 (48:19):
Here we go, so that has who for instance, who
is currently holding this way off the topic, but who
has Jeffrey Epstein's Black Book?

Speaker 16 (48:29):
Black Book?

Speaker 5 (48:30):
FBI?

Speaker 7 (48:32):
But who who is that?

Speaker 15 (48:35):
I mean, that's under direct control of the director of
the FBI. Just like the manifesto from the Nashville school
shooting of the Catholic schools. We still haven't seen that, right.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
No, we have not seen that. We haven't seen a
whole lot of things. But the fact that the FBI
or the director of the FBI would have the manifesto
and you know, the information about the Black Book all
just sitting on his desk makes me beg to have
someone like cash buttel be put in that role because
you get to show us or you wind up showing
us that some of the things you said or things

(49:07):
you don't strongly believe, not something I expect him to do,
but nonetheless a position where it's almost a there's pressure
on him to give us the receipts which I'd be
thrilled to see. All right, quick break a lot more.
Craig Collins filling in on the Danas Show.

Speaker 14 (49:21):
Our partners they help bring you this radio program. It's
the people over at Preborn. It's a great organization that
works with mothers and introduces them to their babies. With ultrasounds,
they can hear their babies heartbeat and when that happens
from mothers considering life, that baby's chance at life doubles.
And you can make a difference with a leadership gift.
Any donation counts, and it's Giving Tuesday coming up. This

(49:42):
is a gift that reaches eternity. They're trying to provide
fifteen hundred ultrasounds this month and December to save more babies.
And all the gifts are tax deductible. Preborn has a
four star charity rating, so you can give with confidence.
And they partner with these women. They put ultras machines
and these women's clinics they are right there where you know,

(50:04):
abortion on demand, you know as birth control. These rates
are the highest and they don't just stop, you know,
with the ultrasounds. They also partner with the moms and
help with maternity and things like diapers and curse seats
and so much more. They partner with them through the
toddler years. Donating is simple and it's so easy to do.
Consider a leadership gift of five, ten thousand, even fifteen thousand,

(50:25):
any amount, any amount helps at all. Visit preborn dot
com slash data to donate, or you can dial pound
two fifty and say keyword baby. They're looking at reaching
the goal of fifteen hundred ultrasound sponsorships. That's Preborn dot
com slash data or pound two fifty keyword baby.

This is the Dana Shell. My name is Greg Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you, Dana. We'll be
back tomorrow. I believe Cheryl Hines, the TV star wife
of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Put up a video on
social media over the weekend hawking a lot of the
products Candles, body sprays creams that I think she's tied

(51:14):
to the Maha brand.

Speaker 4 (51:16):
I believe is what it's called here's the weird part.
The video she put up includes Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Showering behind her.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Her head is in fact blocking any of the things
that a lot of us would not want to see
on a Robert F.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
Kennedy Jr.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
The only thing I kept thinking, this is a weird
thing to think about. I'll be honest, as I saw
this story go viral, not just the video and social
media that I've chosen not actually watch.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
I know enough. I don't need to know anymore. Is man,
it's interesting to be a Kennedy.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
I feel like there's a lot of other people that
wouldn't have this be a thing that happens or a
viral trend and discussion point, etc.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
Etc.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
And it feels very much like the way a whole
lot of other Kennedys become celebrities and then also obsessed about.

Speaker 4 (52:02):
But Robert F.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Kennedy Junior being in the shower behind his celebrity wife
as she puts up a video and social media talking
about discounts an interesting story. Oh, by the way, it's
part of our Quick five. I think I forgot to
do the intro. These are the Quick five topics of
the day.

Speaker 17 (52:17):
And now all of the news you would probably miss
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
Totally screwed that up. My bad, but that was number
one a few other ones out there. Google is just
for old people. The amount of young people who turn
to other search platforms has risen significantly, maybe because a
lot of people also feel that Google is unfair or
Google is something that has a lot of bias in it.
That's definitely true to me and a lot of people

(52:42):
I know. Even if I still use it on several occasions,
it doesn't seem like the right platform for many of us.
A man attacked by bear at a supermarket. This I
think happened in Japan, Northeastern Japan. The dude's fine, fine,
I guess is probably a relative. He did go to
the hospital. He had injuries, but he's survived. He's not

(53:04):
in any sort of life threatening danger. You know what's weird?
And again, my brain just works in a strange way.
I would love to be able to have a story
like that myself. I don't want to go through the
bear attack. I'm not sure that I'll make it out
as unscathed as this Japanese dude did. But talk about
just a winning conversation at a bar for the rest
of your life. If you're like, yeah, man, that one

(53:26):
time a bear attack. Man, I survived it, You'll never
ever be able to have anybody top it. So this
guy's got a brand new story. And after he survives
whatever the non life threatening injuries are and gets better,
he's probably gonna tell it a lot.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
I assume he will. I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Maybe that's a naive thing to think, but it's the
first place my brain went, which tells you maybe a
lot you need to know about me other things out there.
I thought this was interesting and I can play this
audio for you quickly. Scientists have discovered, according to them,
how to out to erase in earworm from your brain.
Those are songs that get stuck there and won't go away.

(54:04):
Apparently you just play this scientifically created music and it
will remove them, because apparently it has tempo changes and
things in it, musical styles that help remove the earworm
from your brain.

Speaker 19 (54:17):
You be the.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Judge if this is something you'd want to listen to
anytime you find yourself singing the same song over and
over again. Oh it's annoying, I think an annoyed by this,
yeh know, not a fan.

Speaker 4 (54:37):
I'm going to stop it there.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
But the design of this is to be so many
crazy transitions, so many different musical styles, all crammed together,
that you can't keep thinking of any one thing after
you hear it, which again is the kind of horrible
thing I would not want to listen to at all,
and would not want to save in like a phone
or something to play anytime I have a song stuck
in my head. I'll just keep going. Man, I don't

(55:00):
care how many times they sing that Cold Play song and.

Speaker 4 (55:02):
People judge me for it. It's stuck. It's not my
fault people. One last thing that I love.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
Dolly Parton reacted to being called country music's greatest artist
of all time. I'll probably play that audio a little
bit later on, but I think her reaction is part
of the reason that people love her so much, because
it is in fact as adorable as people assume she is.

Speaker 4 (55:21):
All Right, I'll take a quick break.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
I got a lot coming up on the show, some
of it serious, some of it not. Just after the holidays.

Speaker 1 (57:13):
You can find Dana all over d Dana Lash Radio
to the best ways to stay connected to her on
x on Twitter. Fox News sat down with Republican Senator
Tom Cotton out of Arkansas to have a discussion and
some really interesting things were said. About Hunter Biden, about
the pardoning, about that entire topic, and I just have

(57:35):
to play a couple of them. Here is part of
his response to what he thinks of Joe Biden claiming
for so long that he wasn't going to parton his
son and then just go ahead and do it.

Speaker 4 (57:46):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (57:47):
Who cares if I've been lying to you for years,
the American people, because it's my kid, and because I
might be tied to some of this. At least that's
probably something a whole lot of people are asking themselves
if you're thinking about it a little today.

Speaker 4 (58:01):
But here we go.

Speaker 21 (58:03):
Joe Biden, for fifty years in public office, has always
pridefully boasted about his word as a Biden, and I
guess we now know that his word as a Biden
is trash. For months, he and his White House spokespersons
promised the American people they wouldn't pardon Hunter Biden, but
not only did he lie to them about that. Look

(58:25):
at the scope of the pardon. It's far beyond the
offenses for which he was convicted. It's any crime he
committed whatsoever for eleven years, which raises the question what
crimes does Joe Biden think his son has been committing for.

Speaker 7 (58:39):
The last decade plus.

Speaker 4 (58:40):
Amen.

Speaker 21 (58:41):
It also raised the question of whether Joe Biden is
going to pardon his brother as well, who was up
to his neck and the Biden family in influence peddling operation.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Yes, all those questions are running through the minds the
hope of a whole lot of people today. The fact
that the pardon goes all the way to twenty fourteen
and it's not specific to any one of the accusations
is very odd. But then there's also the idea that
Hunter can no longer plead the Fifth Amendment, something that
matters quite a bit, because pardoning him is something that

(59:15):
means that, at least when called in front of any
sort of committee, that hey, wait a minute, maybe we
can get to the bottom of this, Maybe we can
get it more information about this. We won't actually be
going after Hunter in a courtroom after this pardon, But
who knows what other individuals or what other information will
be gaining a little bit more from.

Speaker 7 (59:32):
Tomkin, corrupt businessman.

Speaker 21 (59:34):
There may not be anything left to investigate, at least
for criminal liability. I will say this, though Joe Biden
may come to regret this decision, because having given his
son a blanket pardon of eleven years to include time
when Joe Biden was Vice president, Hunter Biden now can't
plead the fifth if he appears before Congress or appears

(59:54):
before a grand job, he has to testify about exactly
what he was doing up to, for instance, when he
was traveling to China on Air Force two and meeting
with Chinese communist princelings, or why he was being paid
hundreds of thousands of dollars to sit on a Ukrainian
energy company's board for which he had no qualifications.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
You know what's so interesting to me about saying that
part out loud, too, is when you look at the
classified documents cases and the one they went after Trump
about and then the one they decided to just get
rid of for our current president, And the biggest thing
in it that mainstream media objected to was that a
jury would have sympathy for Joe Biden because his brain

(01:00:35):
is broken. Because essentially, when he testified, they see him
as an old man who's no longer really aware of
the things he's doing to a degree that you'd find
him innocent of something, or at least not try him
for something that he's evidently guilty of. That might be
the hope here as well. If Joe goes on to
pardon the rest of his family members for any crime
at all committed between twenty fourteen and now, you wonder

(01:01:00):
end that information, any of that information does potentially come
to light, what the end result of it would be,
and if Joe himself could wind up in any trouble
unless he issues himself a pardon, which would be hilarious,
and also a lot of other stuff, because it's the
biggest thing that people were afraid of Trump doing when
he gets into the White House for any of the
things they said he did wrong. If Biden does it first,

(01:01:21):
that might become a statement similar to the Simpsons did
it first, which I love and I think South Park
made go viral because most things in the world of
animated comedy, the Simpsons got there before anyone else. It
feels like the Democrats are getting there before Republicans quite
a bit more often.

Speaker 4 (01:01:39):
Than some would have guessed by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Other things out there that amuse me today, en Ron
is going to make a comeback kind of. I think
they're going to have a cryptocurrency. They say the cryptocurrency's
goal is to get rid of energy crisises throughout the world.
Weird organization to be trying to make a comeback of
any kind, and certainly not something most of us had

(01:02:02):
in our bingo card or whatever you want to call
it for twenty twenty four or right at the end here. Honestly,
the amount of like distraction stories that are out there
are interesting to me. So you have Biden choose to
pardon his kid, and then you have a bunch of
news hit the news media cycle, as people always say,

(01:02:23):
like to bury that story. The John Benay Ramsey case
has a progress being made, according to sources, and that's
all over the news today, and darn it. You might
care about something and want more information about something that's
several several years ago, a viral and dominant story. But

(01:02:44):
what a weird time, what odd timing to be something
that hits the news cycle right now. Another big thing
out there and something that I can't help myself in
thinking a lot about today is Daniel Penny another story
that I think should probably on your ether, on your radar,
even if it's not. He returns to court to start

(01:03:06):
his closing arguments in the Subway choke hold trial or
whatever I guess they're calling it. This is the incident
in which a person who has military training was on
a subway in New York with a homeless man who
was threatening people. That's all just simple facts that I
sent out loud, even if it makes you mad. Jordan Neely,

(01:03:28):
of course a black man. The man who died after
this incident happened with Daniel Penny, although there's disagreement on
whether this actually caused his death. That's important to say too.
But the most powerful thing I think that I saw
in discussions and reactions to this story is a very
simple question that the defense has made abundantly clear that

(01:03:52):
some of the even video of Daniel Penny testifying or
talking excuse me to law enforcement, not knowing that Jordan
Neely had died, but some of the information he was
giving and saying there were a lot of people scared
on the train. He was threatening to not care if
he goes to jail for the rest of his life,
Jordan Eely. These are all things that actually happened. A

(01:04:14):
lot of media wants to not discuss them or not
tell you the truth about this story, but it's all real,
and the big question is would Daniel Penny have acted
any differently if the individual was white and not black,
and he, of course says no, and honestly, there's no
reason not to believe that. I know, mainstream media would

(01:04:34):
tell you, of course that's not true, or the protesters
would say, how dare you say that? But when you
see Daniel Penny talk to officers and discuss what occurred
on the train, he said he was worried for the
safety of individuals there because of the things that someone
was saying, not the appearance of the person, beyond being

(01:04:56):
afraid of some of the things that were being said,
the amount of bystanders who were wor worried, and the
thought that he had the training to effectively neutralize the
situation without taking the life of someone. I'll put someone
in a choke hold that could make them pass out
and not die, and that some of the drugs inside
the system of Jordan Neely would have impacted his ability

(01:05:18):
to not survive it. A forensic pathologist said the chokecold
alone did not kill it. That's something they testified to
in court. His blood condition, synthetic marijuana, schizophrenia, several other
things added into the health jeopardy that Jordan Neely wound
up been before he died. That's also simply a true statement.

(01:05:40):
It makes people mad, but darn it, it's out there.

Speaker 4 (01:05:42):
And it's real.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
What happens in this case is something that I'm deeply
concerned about or deeply invested in, because essentially, what it's
going to tell us, and we've seen cases in New
York go an interesting way, one of the most significant
ones doesn't compare to this story necessarily when you look
at Donald Trump and his felony convictions that all came

(01:06:06):
from a Manhattan courtroom, that all came from a place
in which the jury was built in a way and
then told that they didn't have to find the felony
or the second crime that actually causes a typical misdemeanor
charge to become a felony. They just had to decide
that there was one, whatever it was, and convict him
of felonies, and they foun him gilty of thirty four felonies. Essentially,

(01:06:28):
if we see this again in New York, it's going
to tell us that there are unique places. Not that
you don't know this, you probably already know this, but
I feel like it backs it even further. There are
unique places in our country where certain individuals politically motivated
or whatever can go to try cases that want to
try cases, and there are places where they obviously can't go.

(01:06:49):
And again, this is not unsurprising, this is not something
you don't know, but this case feels incredibly relevant to
that narrative and what you do to fix that problem
if it occurs. I'm sure there's a lot of people
out there that are convinced that Daniel Penny is a
horrible person guilty of, you know, a racially motivated attack
on someone else. But I think if you truly believe that,

(01:07:12):
you've just ignored any of the facts of the case.
Daniel Penny didn't attack someone for no reason. He said
he did it, and didn't necessarily attack him, I think
is the way he'd probably refute that use of that word.
But he tried to fix a situation in his opinion.

Speaker 4 (01:07:30):
I know this might make a lot of people mad
to say it this way.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
Fix the situation where someone was threatening others and he
has training and thought he could help, and so that
is on its face what occurred. And then if he
went too far, if he winds up being guilty of
something a person sadly died. All of that also matters.
I'm not trying to discredit any part of it. It's
just incredibly important to me that you actually go about it,

(01:07:56):
seeking information before deciding what the information is, which is
what a lot of the protesters and media and everyone
else did because of the optics of something I think
for us to truly get beyond any sort of discussion about, say,
you know, this being something in our society that still exists.
This isn't a meritocracy. People would tell us there's you know,

(01:08:19):
people who can and people who can't succeed, even though
there's examples of how that's not true, etc.

Speaker 3 (01:08:24):
Etc.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Whatever race based discussion you want to have with me.
One of the things that's more important than anything else
is proving these things accurate by going into situations open minded.
And there's just so many people who are incapable of that,
And is the jury going to be incapable of that
in a place like Manhattan. That's the question I ask you,
And I don't feel so great about the odds that

(01:08:46):
the answer is something that I'm not.

Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
Going to love.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
But if you've paid attention to the case and the
information presented and the way in which even Daniel Penny
spoke to police and not knowing that Jordan Neely had died,
but thinking that he helped fix the situation. It's very
hard to see that narrative that's been jammed down your
throat or told to you time and again at the

(01:09:10):
beginning of this story, well over a year ago, how
long it took to get to this point, and again
what the inevitable results will be. But I think it's
a big deal, and so I guess that's the reason
I took some time to talk about it here. All right,
we'll take a break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins
filling in on the Dana Show.

Speaker 14 (01:09:25):
Our partners the folks over at burn a gun. It's
a non firearm firearm that burna SD is the most
popular model, and it shoots chemical irrit and projectiles that
can disable threats from up to fifty feet away. There's
different models, there's different accessories. It provides a pretty powerful
deterrent and it's the non firearm firearm. It doesn't care

(01:09:48):
about the gun for you zone signs, It doesn't care
about you know, any of that, and there's no waiting period.
They send it right to your porch, no background check.
It's legal in all fifty states. It's a great way
to diverse if your collection of self defense so that
you have something for even if guns are banned and
you got to go there, you have a way to

(01:10:09):
protect yourself so you're not a statistic. So from November
twenty ninth to December second, you can get fifteen percent

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
That's right, this is the Dana Show and it's time
for Florida Man. My name is Craig Collins.

Speaker 4 (01:10:36):
Phill Again. I got two of them.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
The first story, fifty four year old guy named Richard
that is important to the story. His last name is Hallmark.
I don't know why I'd care about that part. Was
pulled over by the cops. When he was asked who
he was, he said his name was Robert, which is
actually his brother. The cops then looked into his vehicle.
They found a backpack that contained a bunch of pot,

(01:10:58):
meth amphetamines, all kinds of illegal stuff in Florida. So
they said, hey, whose backpack is this. He goes, oh,
that's my brother's. His name is Robert, which is the
name he gave them, pretending that I guess he was
actually his brother. And then he realized his mistake. And
I know, even though people like George Foreman name a
whole lot of their kids the exact same name, believing

(01:11:19):
that there were two Robert Hallmarks was too much for
the cops to believe. So the guy broke immediately. He goes,
and I'm actually Richard. I'm not Robert.

Speaker 4 (01:11:27):
I just told you guys that because while I have a.

Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
Warn out for my arrest and I don't know what's
going on with my brother, but that's totally his backpack,
whichever Richard or Robert you want to believe that he is.

Speaker 4 (01:11:38):
I love that that mistake happened so quickly.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
Police were able to crack the case, and Richard Hallmark
is now in jail, and he's probably going to be
in there for a little bit as we figure out
whose backpack it is. His brother Robert probably not thrilled
to be a part of the story, unless in fact
he's guilty too. I don't know, but that's a nice moment.
We're like, no, no, that's not who I am. But
then that's also not my backpack, and I've backed myself

(01:12:01):
into a corner. That's one Florida man that's out of
Central Florida. The other one is just outside a Tampa
A guy went into a publix and loaded up a
cart of stuff and then just wheeled it out, which
is actually a felony based on the amount of money
that he was stealing. People called authorities. Well, the dude
was putting the groceries he didn't pay for inside his vehicle.

(01:12:21):
And this is the craziest part of this story. The
guy went back into the publics to do it again.
He was like, hey, this worked the first time. His
name is Andrew. He's forty two years old. As he
was going through his second attempt to steal more stuff
and rolling a second cart full of groceries and things
he did not pay for out to his vehicle, the
cops arrived.

Speaker 4 (01:12:42):
They arrested him.

Speaker 1 (01:12:44):
As I said, he's actually going to wind up with
felony charges because of the amount of money he was
stealing from the publics. But I liked that he stayed
to commit the crime a second time, just in fact,
so they could catch him in the act, as nicer
than just having the video and everything else proved that
what you did is.

Speaker 4 (01:13:01):
A thing you shouldn't be doing.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
My favorite part of this story, though, is the statement
from a local police in the area, the Polk County Sheriff,
A Grady Judd, who said Sylvester tried to steal not one,
but two cartfuls of groceries from publics, and then he
paused for a second and said, we're shopping is a pleasure,
so it's nice that the sheriff is on board with
the team at publics. He then said that Stunt landed

(01:13:24):
him in county jail, where resting criminals is our pleasure,
which I love even more. Create your own tagline about
how idiots get in trouble if they're doing certain things
in Florida, we're in other places like New York, they're
promptly just released again, as horrible as it is, and
I wound up back doing terrible things, things much worse

(01:13:45):
than just stealing a bunch of groceries from a grocery store.
I don't know how you have the I don't even
know what I want to call it because it's not
a good thing. I wouldn't call it courage. I'd call
it the arrogance to go into a store load up
with groceries and just roll out and think you're not
gonna get in trouble for that. I don't know how
many people do that or attempt to do it in

(01:14:07):
our world. It feels like it's too many. And this dude,
you know, just looks like the kind of guy that
doesn't give.

Speaker 4 (01:14:13):
A crap about anything.

Speaker 1 (01:14:15):
I don't know how to say it any differently, certainly
doesn't give a crap about the beard that he's letting
just grow insanely.

Speaker 4 (01:14:20):
But that makes sense to me.

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
But again, I don't know where you get the hootspa
or whatever I should call it. That's negative even attempt
this and to go back for round two. I wonder
what's in his brain. I would genuinely like to talk
to him and discuss it, although he's not going to
be available for a while for an interview because he's
busy doing other stuff, just because I want to understand
that mindset of hey man, let's try this out two

(01:14:44):
times and see if it works, because I can't get
there all right quick break a lot coming up. Craig

Speaker 4 (01:16:06):
Dana is back tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Lots and lots of things out there, but the absolute
biggest discussion, biggest conversation is easily the fact that Joe
Biden decided, after claiming he wouldn't do it for quite
some time, to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, of any
and all charges, any and all crimes going all the
way back to twenty fourteen, which is an interesting time

(01:16:29):
to choose because that's when the Beisma stuff first started
to happen between Hunter and between even the current vice
president at the time, which would be Joe Biden, and
leaves us in this very odd state where we have
a lot of questions and by design, absolutely no answers,
Although that might change. Hunter Biden can now no longer

(01:16:50):
plead the fifth if he's brought in to testify in
front of Congress for something because well, he can't be
tried for anything, so there is no jeopardy there. But
let's play some of the supercut that was put out
by Tom Elliott of Grabian, of all the times they
lied to us and told us this would not happen.
Joe himself said he wouldn't do it, that they believed

(01:17:11):
that no one was above the law.

Speaker 4 (01:17:13):
Unless that person is named Biden.

Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
Probably going to wind up pardoning a whole lot of
other Biden family members, as they would be next on
the list as far as people you go after because
Hunter didn't act alone.

Speaker 4 (01:17:25):
Feels like a statement that I could say time and again.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
But here again is the brilliant Tom Elliot a Grabian
of putting together nine minutes. I can't play all of
it of media praising Biden for something he absolutely did
that they said he wasn't going to do.

Speaker 7 (01:17:38):
Additions of our democracy.

Speaker 6 (01:17:40):
So there is an opportunity here for Biden to say,
you know, the jury found him guilty. This is how
it's supposed to work. Period paragraph end of store.

Speaker 7 (01:17:50):
Have you ruled out a pardon for your son?

Speaker 4 (01:17:52):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (01:17:53):
As I said last week, I will accept the outcome
of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process,
as Hunter considers.

Speaker 9 (01:17:59):
A peace you know.

Speaker 8 (01:18:00):
The President said he won't touch it. He said he's
not going to pardon his son. And it seems that
Mayor Garland let it go through. How can the Justice
Department be weaponized against Trump when all of that is happening.

Speaker 9 (01:18:11):
But Democrats stand for the rule of law, remember law
and order, you know, And we've been saying that Trump's
not above the law. Hunter, Biden's not above the law.
No one is above the law. And it is amazing
to see the stark contrast between how Democrats handled today
and how Republicans handled this whole thing over the last
couple of weeks.

Speaker 4 (01:18:29):
The egg got everybody's face.

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
If that's actually all I thought it was, and not
you know, like honest or actual intentional lying. I shouldn't
call anything honest but purposeful giving us just crap information
after crap information.

Speaker 4 (01:18:42):
It's incredible.

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
And as I said, Tom Elliott put together nine minutes
of this, you can find it on X we can
play a little more.

Speaker 7 (01:18:48):
Outcome of the case.

Speaker 10 (01:18:50):
I know no other word for that, but presidential.

Speaker 11 (01:18:54):
He even went so far as to say he wouldn't
pardon his son. That's how much respect he has for
the system.

Speaker 7 (01:19:00):
And has said that he will not pardon his son.
What did you think of that?

Speaker 22 (01:19:04):
I thought it was extraordinary. I mean, it was a
moment of just moral clarity on the part of Joe
Biden and couldn't have been in starker contrast to the
way Donald Trump has handled his own conviction.

Speaker 1 (01:19:20):
You know what's so interesting about all this too, I'll
stop it there. The left loves when they can point
to something and say, look at how different this would
be if Trump were involved. They love vilifying the former
president and yet and the soon to be current president,
and yet so often we see them do exactly the
thing they say that Trump will do, even if he's

(01:19:42):
never done it before. The threat to do what is
out there. I mean, look at the world we live
in right now and the amount of danger that is
essentially on a world stage because of conflicts that didn't
happen when Trump was in office that sound like they
might be resolved when Trump gets back into office. Did
happen during this administration. There's just so many lies and

(01:20:04):
it's so crazy. And beyond it all is the statement
by many that if you actually, you know, dive deep
enough you'll understand why it happened, or you'll see how
you know, political this entire thing was, which is amazing
because it's exactly the same stuff that Trump has been
saying for well, not that I'm saying you should believe
it in this case, but Trump has been saying it

(01:20:27):
for a while, and media has been attacking him for
even putting that idea out there. One last thing on
this corin. John Pierre, the White House Press Secretary, was
asked this standing outside of Air Force One with a
gaggle of reporters. Her and John Kirby were given initial questions,
and this was the back and forth, which again I thought,
was it's just they've been priming you for this for

(01:20:49):
a while in saying that Hunter is a child and
that Joe is just a really great father, and anyone
could have sympathy for all of the challenges that he's faced,
whatever it might be. So we've been hearing a version
of the inevitable excuse for quite some time.

Speaker 4 (01:21:06):
But here it is.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
You have said repeatedly yourself since the election. The President
has said for months no pardon was coming. I just
I wanted to ask you could those statements now be
seen as lies from the American people, as really incredibility
as you hear given now this announcement.

Speaker 5 (01:21:21):
Yes, first of all, one of the things that the
president always believes is to be truthful to the American people.
That is something that he always truly believes. And if
you see the end of his I assume that you've
read his statement and you look at the end of
that statement, and he actually says that in the first
line in the last paragraph and respects the thinking and

(01:21:46):
how the American people will actually see this.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
Now, the American people don't see it the way you
want them to see it, and didn't see a whole
lot of other things that you told us were one
way the.

Speaker 4 (01:21:56):
Way that you saw them.

Speaker 1 (01:21:58):
We saw a lot of lies, a lot of crap,
and we're seeing it again. And the heartstrings approach of
saying he's just a father that's taking care of his son,
and any other father would do that in that situation,
Actually you're enabling your son to continue doing horrible stuff,
not saying that Hunter Biden is necessarily falling back into
all those worlds he was in before.

Speaker 4 (01:22:18):
Although there was.

Speaker 1 (01:22:19):
Cocaine found in the White House, which feels to be
relevant even more so today than before. All Right, Cash
Betel is a big part of the conversation. He has
been nominated to be the director of the FBI, out
of all the organizations, the Department of Education, whatever it
is that people are going to wind up being in
charge of and critical of, which is what Trump keeps doing.

(01:22:43):
He keeps nominating people that he knows will at least
go after any of the corruption or business's usual stuff
that occurs there. And Cash Betel is certainly an experienced guy,
no matter how much media will claim to you that
he's not. He's someone that actually worked within the FBI,
something that's not true of a bunch of people who
are directors of the FBI and have been the last

(01:23:06):
several years. So that feels like it matters. But the
thing that's more important to any of this to me,
with all the you know, crazy reactions and demands for
it not to go the way that it could go,
and this is just a question I'll just ask you,
and you decide for yourself what's true if you were

(01:23:27):
tasked with the job that you believe Trump is going
to give himself, and I know a lot of us
believe that, and a lot of others think that probably
something else is happening, and I don't know how to
talk to those people sometimes. But you want to rip
out corruption, you want to go to the roots. You
want to you want to tackle it in DC in
as many places as possible. It doesn't benefit you, it

(01:23:48):
doesn't benefit your family necessarily to do this, But how
would you go about that. You need people that you
believe you can trust to be in charge of these positions,
because you can't do everything yourself, no matter.

Speaker 4 (01:24:00):
Who you are.

Speaker 1 (01:24:01):
But if that was actually the goal, if that is
the mission, how else go about it other than to
find outsiders that you believe won't be influenced, you believe
won't be turned against the objective that are going to
attack and publicly so many of these individuals that have
been nominated to these positions have criticized the departments or

(01:24:21):
the powers that be that have been in those positions
before so much so that it does create pressure. I
would imagine I would at least assume cash Ptel for
sure creates pressure to give us the goods, to give
us the receipts. Cash Betel has talked about all kinds
of things in the world of the FBI, including even
the likelihood that the director of the FBI has access

(01:24:44):
to Epstein's blacklist, has access to, you know, manifestos that
we haven't seen before, all of these things. So you
put him in that position, and the first thing anyone
who's paid close attention to what he said, you know,
has been doing is we'll show show us that stuff.
Give us as much of that information, declassify, declassify, et cetera,

(01:25:05):
et cetera. I'll say this the most controversial way I
think I can. I'm not doing it on purpose, but
I think I can to a lot of like my
friends that get mad at me because I got a
lot of buddies still and a lot of relatives that
are still trying to prove whatever conspiracy theory they saw
to me, and they're doing it the same way they

(01:25:25):
were before. They're like, did you see this on Twitter?
Did you see what this person said? With that person said?
And my reaction, and I'm not trying to dismiss the
likelihood that there's a bunch of true stuff that we've
been told is a conspiracy theory, but my reaction is
just wait a few months. The person who's taking the
White House and a bunch of the people that he's

(01:25:46):
trying to put in positions of power will hopefully obliterate
the system and show us the truth, because it's the
only way to get more Americans on board with the
idea that the system has to come apart. And so
now I don't care about the person who tells me,
did you see this video of this thing that's only
on Twitter and nowhere else, Not because I'm trying to

(01:26:07):
silence it, but because I'm waiting for the better version
of proof to come out that's impossible for mainstream media
to ignore. And I hope that's what we see, and
I hope these individuals put in these positions, whoever they are,
and a bunch of them with way more credibility than
is being claimed to have had. Even Matt Gates would
have actually done a better job than people want to say. Now, granted,

(01:26:31):
I will put out there that if the things he's
accused of and the investigations found about him are true,
you can't possibly take on the role that he was
nominated for. But even Gates was so publicly critical of
the judicial system that it seemed interesting to throw someone
like that into the lead position.

Speaker 4 (01:26:48):
And who knows.

Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
Maybe a lot of these people appointed to these roles
will leave them within a year of serving their job
because the design of their appointment is to upend the system,
maybe not to run it long term. Maybe there are
people that wind up stepping in once the corruption is
rooted out. I'm probably being idealistic and saying that could

(01:27:10):
take place over the course of a year, But nonetheless,
I wonder if that's what happens, if during the administration
there are people who don't retain power after the objective
they go in with is accomplished, that they go ahead
and walk away from it and hand it off to
somebody else. But we'll see, because to me, again, that's
more important and the value of the discussion than any

(01:27:32):
of the crap you see in the coverage in mainstream media.
By a landslide. All right, quick break, a lot coming up.

Find here on X on Twitter. All right, let's do
a quick five.

Speaker 17 (01:29:00):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (01:29:05):
So a bunch of quick five stories in the world
of football that I thought were interesting. Buffalo Bill's the
team asked their fans to help clear snow before the
game they had the other night.

Speaker 4 (01:29:16):
I thought that was interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:29:17):
A whole bunch of fans showed up volunteering to clear
two to three feet of snow over the weekend in
order to play and have people actually be able to
show up at the stadium. A lot of the snow
was left in the seats, though, according to the videos,
which is weird, people did have to still sit on
piles of it. I don't think they got anything for
volunteering to help clean snow either, which is wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:29:37):
Give him something.

Speaker 1 (01:29:38):
You got to get some sort of Yeah, maybe you
can't go to the game if the tickets are sold out,
but I got to get something, some sort of win here.
And I don't see what the prize was, but it
wasn't much. Michigan and Ohio State got into a brawl.
Pepper spray was used by police. After Michigan defeated Ohio State.
Yet again, the number two Buckeyes fell to an unranked team.
That was a big deal and also probably a conversation

(01:30:00):
because of the pepper spray and whatnot over the holiday.
And then finally, the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech
had one of the most incredible games in NCAA football history,
going eight overtimes, but also demonstrating that the college football
playoff rules are stupid. I just play regular football into overtimes.
I don't care if it goes a long time. I

(01:30:21):
didn't love the argument back when it was first made.
I think in the mid to early two thousands he
had to change the rules because they're college athletes and
for the player's health. If two teams are going to
play real football and not gimmick versions of you got
to go for two and weird things football for eight
or nine overtimes, let it happen. Man, I want to

(01:30:42):
be back in that world. I don't want to be
in this crap world, especially when a two point conversion
wins a game it didn't deserve to win.

Speaker 4 (01:30:49):
All right, Non football related stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:30:51):
Also, in the Quick five, a man jumped out of
a roller coaster in Arizona, or more like climbed out,
although jumped is the word a lot of people are
using when he realized he wasn't locked into it right
as it was approaching its first big drop. It's a
roller coaster that actually goes upside down a couple times,
so terrifying situation. And the dad said he was lucky
it was him and not his kids. I have a

(01:31:13):
couple pieces of audio of this, but this is insane.
His lap bar released right before they started the part
of the roller coaster that probably doesn't end up well
for him.

Speaker 23 (01:31:22):
It was just adrenaline and I didn't want to die
that day. I heard a click noise that was different
from the chain taking us up the hill, and I
checked my lap bar and it released. That could have
been one of the eleven year olds. Could have been
somebody older not as agile.

Speaker 10 (01:31:40):
Right right.

Speaker 1 (01:31:41):
It could have been a lot of things that happened there,
and it's terrifying. He actually went on to also say
that he was surprised no one saw him climbing out
of the roller coaster and stopping the ride, As mentioned
in I think that news coverage and other places Arizona
is one of a few states that doesn't have any
sort of oversight over some of their roller coasters. Probably
something you want after this, and honestly, just real quick.

(01:32:03):
As a kid, I was convinced, although I didn't get
off the ride, I stayed on it, that I had
a lap bar that released a little bit, not all
the way, on a ride that just would swing you
upside down constantly, and I survived because I believe I
held myself into the ride. And as a kid, I
remember all of the people my family I was with
being like, that can't happen. You're being crazy. Now I

(01:32:24):
feel like maybe it was true. I can't prove it.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:32:27):
I was young and.

Speaker 1 (01:32:28):
I didn't actually fall out of said coaster, but part
of me thought it happened then and believes maybe it
happened now, although I wasn't in Arizona. So maybe that's
a part that's missing in my story. All right, quick break,
A little more coming up. Craig Collins filling in on
the Dana Show.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. Bunch of stuff
out there to talk about out as always, Trump has
threatened one hundred percent tariffs on nations that are trying
to undermine the US dollar. This includes a set of
nations that are part of the Brick Alliance Brazil, Russia, India, China,

(01:33:13):
South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates.
There's other countries Turkey, Aras, Azerbaijan excuse me, and Malaysia
that want to be a part of it, et cetera,
et cetera. But they have been for quite some time
now trying to undermine the US dollar, even though fifty
eight percent of the world's foreign exchange reserves are in

(01:33:36):
US dollar. There's a desire, especially if you're Russia, China,
of this alliance, etc. Tajuanna undermine it in any way
you can. One hundred percent tariffs will probably work as
a bringing people to the table to discuss things, as
it's already been working. The tariffs thing is one of
the more hilarious things I've seen hilarious, and how quickly

(01:33:57):
it's been beneficial for the United States, and how easily
it was condemned by people that are not say the
person doing it, mainstream media and whatnot. Because Canada immediately
came to the negotiation table of Mexico too, China seems
to be more willing to discuss some things all because
of the threat of tariffs. And by the way, and

(01:34:17):
I'll keep saying this, maybe it's a hope I have
that's never going to play out. Maybe it was a
reason to convince people that the tariff threat was real
when it won't actually be. Who knows, but the idea
that we could institute enough tariffs to make enough money
to stop having to pay income tax anymore at the
federal level is something that sounds amazing to me, and

(01:34:38):
it has been at least floated the Joe Rogan interview
one of the places that Trump talked about it, which
is a thing that this country actually did for quite
a long time before going into the road with how
they take our money, money that a lot of us
feel that they don't deserve to have, and we don't
want to give them anymore. It'd be great if that
went away, which might be a Trump thing all right.

(01:34:58):
In the world of illegal people in this country, there
are a few pretty big discussions going on right now.
One was caused by a tweet from a Vake Ramaswami,
someone who will be in charge of trying to spend
less money as our government or remove all the ridiculous waste,
spending abuse that exists in our government. And I'll get

(01:35:19):
to that in a second, but before that, I want
to play face the nation audio of a California state
senator saying that it's the position of that state and
those politicians that if Trump tries to deport people who
are there legally, that US tax dollars will fight the
good fight, which is not a good fight at all,
But spend a bunch of money in trying to not
remove people who don't have the right to be here

(01:35:40):
and paying their legal fees, which is insane. This is
refusing to hear the message of the people who said
they're not happy about this, by continuing to take our
money to do the wrong thing with it.

Speaker 4 (01:35:51):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
There doesn't have to be a conflict unless that's what
Trump wants.

Speaker 19 (01:35:56):
The governor has called a special session that will convene
this week to set aside money to battle the Trump administration.
Will some of that money also be set aside to
protect migrants and undocumented immigrants in California as they seek
either legal advice or continued legal financial backing to support
their efforts to stay within California and the United States.

Speaker 7 (01:36:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:36:20):
Again, if the first Trumpet administration is any indicator, we
know that there will continue to be a lot of
fear in communities and communities that deserve to know what
their rights are and what their rights are are not
And so if it's legal assistance, legal advice, legal support,
that's just the California way. We embrace our diversity, our

(01:36:41):
diversities that has made our communities thrive and our economy.

Speaker 4 (01:36:45):
Now, no, no, it is not.

Speaker 1 (01:36:47):
Actually a whole lot of people within your communities, within
your state are going to tell you that it's one
of the biggest problems that they're seeing. In massive amounts
of spending by several different states are putting a lot
of other issues in play, or a lot of other
challenges in play that you simply don't have the money
to address, which is something that disproportionately is impacting a

(01:37:08):
lot of those communities that you say you care about,
which is interesting as far as a full narrative of
full discussion that's out there in the world, you wouldn't
think that in twenty twenty four, after Trump is re
elected to the office of president, that Republicans can actually
say that they're fighting more for disenfranchised people than Democrats

(01:37:29):
are and easily mean it with a bunch of different
stats and proof out there.

Speaker 4 (01:37:33):
But yet it's true. It is absolutely true.

Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
One other thing, and this is the thing that Vivek
put out there, A taxpayer funded hotel for illegal migrants
is owned by a Pakistani government. Is owned by the
Pakistani government, excuse me, which means New York City taxpayer
dollars are effectively paying a foreign government for housing illegal
people in our country. It's an insane statement, and it's

(01:37:59):
one hundred per sent true. The City of New York
paid two hundred and twenty million dollars to rent the
entire Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house illegal immigrants, which,
as I said, was owned by the government of Pakistan,
and the deal was part of a one point one
billion dollar payout package to help pack to help Pakistan
with all kinds of other things. This is insane, and

(01:38:21):
so many of these things are just like flying I guess,
like within the radar, because it's stuff that's very easy
for us to find out before people are even in
roles where they're attacking more of this crap and digging
deeper than even the surface level, and so it's just
amazing to see. But if you're someone and most people
I think fit into this bracket that thinks it's ridiculous

(01:38:43):
the amount of spending on whatever it is, I mean, honestly,
to pause for a second and say it a different way,
the amount of money that's gone to Ukraine is an
easy thing for a lot of people to now say, like,
all right, that seems like too much.

Speaker 4 (01:38:57):
It seems like too much has gone there.

Speaker 1 (01:38:59):
And I know that the Biden administration is talking about
sending as many additional weapons and things as they can
before they lose their power in office in the next month,
and it's it's just crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:39:13):
But most people can.

Speaker 1 (01:39:14):
Admit usually that the amount of money seems insane and
there should be more oversight into it, especially when you
know that there have been actual, you know, investigations, very
basic ones into some fraud and they've been found to
exist within the amount of money we've sent to Ukraine,
they have stolen money. It was quite a big story
and it was actually just a fraction of what likely

(01:39:35):
is going on there. But what's fascinating to me more
than anything about that discussion is what the end result is,
what you do to fix the problem. And now you hear,
you know, the president of Ukraine, you hear others saying
that they're likely to seed territory to gain peace, to
end the conflict. That's something that Vladimir Zelensky said over

(01:39:57):
the weekend that something he's been adamant he would not do.
Give up some of the contested area that's essentially between
Ukraine and Russia that has not really been under Ukrainian
control for quite some time. It's been a proxy fight,
something the United States was not helping Ukraine to fight
against Russia. Giving up these areas like the Donbas region,

(01:40:17):
at least portions of them to Ukraine and also not
demanding to gain crimea back which was annex in twenty fourteen,
might actually end the conflict. And it's something for the
first time because a brand new person will be in
power very soon as being set out loud by the
Ukrainian government. I find that very very interesting. I find
that very fascinating that it's out there in the world

(01:40:38):
as a simple statement. The amount of things that are changing,
the amount of this was impossible and could never happen.
Things that are now definitely happening and seem to be
very possible.

Speaker 4 (01:40:49):
Just because of the election, are.

Speaker 1 (01:40:53):
Proof themselves that what's occurring now is a change from
the system that existed or the business is usual stuff
that we've been seeing for a while.

Speaker 4 (01:41:02):
It's just it's something. I don't know how to say
it differently.

Speaker 1 (01:41:05):
All Right, one last thing, And I know I've been
talking about it all day, but I know it's probably
going to be the biggest topic of conversation with anyone
you know that talks about any kind of politics. But
the decision to pardon Hunter Biden, something that Trump or
excuse me, that wow, that Biden, Joe Biden, our current president,
decided to do but promised countless times he wouldn't do,

(01:41:29):
is one of the more incredible stories in the world
of politics, mostly because of how wide reaching the pardon is.
Any crime committed by Hunter Biden between twenty fourteen, and
now even ones we don't know about can't go after
him for it.

Speaker 4 (01:41:43):
How dare you?

Speaker 1 (01:41:44):
Opens up interesting scenarios since Hunter won't be able to
claim Fifth Amendment protections anymore. But also something that places
like CNN are actually somewhat struggling to defend, even though
some of their guests are doing it. A lot of
these places look like absolute morons for pretending they believed

(01:42:05):
Biden when he said time and again he wouldn't pardon
his son. And that was the way in which you
showed that what Biden does is somehow different than what
you accuse Trump of doing, even if he doesn't do
that actual stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:42:17):
It is amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:42:18):
But here's a little bit of CNN talking about this
and people trying to come up with their reason that
this is totally okay and not a complete abuse of
power that they promised us they wouldn't do.

Speaker 24 (01:42:29):
Look, Battel's going to be confirmed or not confirmed because
Republican senator is either going to bend the need of
Donald Trump or not. They know he's not qualified. They
know that even Bill Barr, who was by name means
the paragon of democratic virtue, said that he didn't want
kash Battel anywhere near him. So if kash Battel gets confirmed,
it's not going to be because Joe Biden, pardon hunter.
It's going to be because Republican senators are afraid to

(01:42:50):
say no to Donald Trump, as they have consistently been
afraid to say no to him. But look, I mean,
if you're talking about lying, or you're talking about Joe
Biden's word, Joe Biden's out of here in just a
month or two. Right, We're not your care Biden again.
He's going to be a former president and that's going
to be the end of that. But I want to
be clear about something. Donald Trump broke something in this country,

(01:43:10):
Oh my god, when he got elected the first time,
and then he shattered it into a million pieces when
he got re elected, and we will never get that
back again when you have a president of the unity.

Speaker 4 (01:43:21):
Can't I can't. I can't do it. I can't even
make it through all this.

Speaker 1 (01:43:24):
She goes on to say, how understandable it is that
President Biden pardoned his son and the Trump's the real
threat here.

Speaker 4 (01:43:31):
The Trump derangement syndrome is.

Speaker 1 (01:43:33):
Off the charts with these people, and it's crazy for
them to say stuff like, look what Donald broke when
he got re elected, even though he's not actually even
in the White House yet, How can you already be
sure that everything that's happening is terrible and that somehow
your life is going to change in some sort of,
you know, horrible way. But just an idiot, a democratic strategist,

(01:43:53):
so certainly a person paid to be more on but
nonetheless CNN broadcasting that and talking about how it's terrible
to call them the Biden crime family in light of
what's happened recently. It's just it's amazing to me. And again,
I wish I could make it through the whole clip.

Speaker 4 (01:44:08):
I have more clip.

Speaker 1 (01:44:09):
I can't do it because it's so stupid and it's
so crazy. It's so exactly the thing that failed as far.
Oh and by the way, I'll just throw this out quickly.

Speaker 4 (01:44:31):

Speaker 1 (01:44:33):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in for the day
Dana is back tomorrow. A couple quick pieces of audio
that I thought were interesting. First, a venomous snake climbed
up somebody's leg while they were driving a vehicle in Australia.
The tiger snake is definitely deadly lucky that no one
was a bitt and that the person survived. But there's

(01:44:55):
audio of the snake control guy in Melbourne, his name
is Tim, talking about and how lucky everybody is and
how nobody really likes snakes except maybe he does. But
here's a little bit of that audio.

Speaker 7 (01:45:06):
Harley venomous.

Speaker 25 (01:45:07):
They definitely don't want to wock around with them to
get the live out of her, and she managed to
pull the car over. Felt pretty panicked as well, So
I've been not a fan of snakes. Eta you're considering
circumstances extremely lucky.

Speaker 1 (01:45:19):
My favorite part of that audio is that everybody else
on the side of the road panicked as well, because
not many people were fans of the snakes, not even
people who responded to it that weren't snake control. Interesting
job to be snake control in a place like Australia.
Also a viral piece of audio out there, a cryptocurrency
entrepreneur ate a banana that's artwork worth six point two

(01:45:40):
million dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:45:41):
You probably heard some version of the story.

Speaker 1 (01:45:43):
But a guy paid way too much money for a
thing that actually is a replaceable banana. It's not a
super old one. The artwork has instructions that comes with
it that tells you how to put a new banana
in the place of an old one. But again, it's
just a banana stuck to a wall and that's the art.
And it's worth six million dollars. I don't know how.
But now the auction itself, the audio of it went

(01:46:05):
viral where someone is bidding that much money for the
dumbest thing that's existed.

Speaker 4 (01:46:09):
In the world of art.

Speaker 22 (01:46:11):
Sair warning at five million, two hundred thousand dollars, Jen,
the catslan is yours, congratulations, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:46:20):
I don't have a seventies Why why would any of
this happen? Why do people do this stuff? Well, it's
their money. I guess they can do what they want.
I would not be thrilled if I were someone connected
to that person, although who knows what the banana art
will sell for in the future. And again, it's a
replaceable banana. So the one the guy. ATE's not the
only one that goes with the artwork. You buy new
ones and put new ones up constantly if you own

(01:46:41):
the piece. I'm very confused. Other things out there just quicker,
like you know, palate cleanser stuff. Before we get out
of here, a man was arrested in Virginia, West Virginia
with nine different kinds of drugs, guns, and cash on him.

Speaker 4 (01:46:59):
I didn't know that he had all the different kinds.

Speaker 1 (01:47:02):
I didn't know there were nine meth, heroin, fentanyl, oxyconton,
hydro codone, cocaine, ecstasy, etc.

Speaker 4 (01:47:08):
Etc.

Speaker 1 (01:47:09):
More things that are crazy, but he had so many
of them that people probably assumed that it was better
for him and honestly better for the world that he's
now going to be in jail and separated from all
of his different shrugs. That's not great. A ridiculous amount
of money and other things. He's probably a dealer cash, firearms, whatnot.

(01:47:29):
But just a crazy story. And you got to feel like,
as you're pulling stuff out of this guy's pockets, it's
one of those magic hats that shouldn't have that much
stuff in it, but stuff keeps coming out because he
has that many different drugs, all just on his person,
and then also one last one out there for just silly,
ridiculous things. A Canadian mall has been blasting Baby Shark

(01:47:50):
in its stairwells to kick homeless people out, to make
them frustrated and leave, and it's caused an uproar. Apparently
people are saying, how dare you do this and just
displace a problem and not just allow people to live
in your stairwells when you don't want them there, and
customers don't want them there, and people who actually live
within the building as well don't want them there. I
love that argument, like, how dare you They figured it

(01:48:12):
out already even if you have no reason to desire
them to be there, And if you make them leave
by playing baby Shark at different levels and volumes and tempos,
that you've now made the problem even worse. It's an
insane argument, the one that's out there in the world
as well. All Right, thanks as always for listening. I'm
thrilled to be here. Dana is back tomorrow. Craig Collins
