Speaker 1 (00:00):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in for the day. Thrilled to be with you.
A whole bunch of crazy stuff to talk about out
there in the world. D lash or Dana Last Radio
two great ways to stay connected to her on x
on Twitter, great ways to stick connect to everything and
anything that this show is doing on social media all
the time. So many different ways to find Dana and

(00:24):
all of the show content. All right, let's get right
into it. The most hilarious news over the last twenty
four hours to me, and there were a lot of
things that I found a way to laugh at. I'm
not sure they're all supposed to be funny, but I
found a way to laugh a lot of these things.
But the most hilarious is the investigation by the FBI
into Tish James, or Latita James, the Attorney General in

(00:46):
New York.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
I don't know why I found this so amusing.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh yeah, of course I do, because of all the
investigating she did into Trump that didn't work.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Here we go, the FBI and the US Attorney in
Albany of open an investigation into mortgage fraud allegation against
new Attorney General Tis James. The Trump administration last month
accused James of falsifying records to obtain favorable loans on
homes she bought in Virginia and Brooklyn. Her lawyer aggressively
denied the allegations. James last year won a civil case

(01:14):
against President Trump that resulted in millions of dollars in penalties.
She's also joined several suits challenging his agenda.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Today, shocking, just shocking.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
That's all she's doing with all of the taxpayer dollars,
is trying to go after Trump anyway she can in
a place like New York, where at times they do
find people guilty because they seem to be overwhelmingly one
sided politically, and not because the process that exists in
our country is actually working.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
That's my opinion.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I've gotten messages from listeners sometimes saying how dare you
say things like that? And what I love about that
is those same people would probably say that the system
is broken, unfair to the other side. Whatever side you're on,
you might go ahead and lob those grenades occasionally. My
favorite other piece of audio, though, from this story of
his James and the FBI investigation, is this New Yorker

(02:04):
who showed up at a town hall yesterday and had
a question. He just he wanted to ask something, you know,
to the Attorney General, and he wanted to see what
she thought about it.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yes, my question is for Tush James, you apologize to
President Trump for waste state millions of dollars and the
state of New York.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
For a little time, how daring?

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Here's the field to know that you are you will
be imprisoned.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
How's the field? How's the field?

Speaker 5 (02:30):
How's the field?

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Cush?

Speaker 1 (02:31):
How's the field? Tush James? I love this guy. I
love him so much.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
My favorite part two, and this is coming from someone
who was raised on the East Coast, is that bowing
and New.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yorker doesn't matter. He didn't care. Bow them all you want.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
He's there, he's asking his question. The booing almost feeds him.
It makes him stronger, not weaker. And he's walking out
and he's holding his camera up as he's saying, how's
a field, Tush.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
How's a feel?

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Cush?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Oh, it's so great, it's so wonderful. And he's absolutely
right the way about that. There seems to be a
tremendous likelihood that what goes on in the FBI investigation
into Tish or push James, is that she's gonna have
some issues. She's going to have some things she's going
to have to aggressively defend, as her lawyer apparently was

(03:16):
trying to do.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
All Right, we'll move on.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
There's other stuff out there in the world, although that
story is one I'll probably bring up again because I'm
so entertained by it. This is Joe Biden, former president,
mostly broken brain human being who occasionally maybe takes a
bunch of drugs and pops up on some of these shows.
That's my opinion whenever he speaks clearly, because we got

(03:38):
so used to not expecting it on a day to
day basis when he was in the office of president.
But he popped up on The View and he did
a few other interviews and he was saying stuff, and
I have an extreme reaction to a couple of the
things that he said. Here is the first one, and
this is obviously a lob in the world of the View.
They ask former President Joe Biden why he thinks that

(04:01):
Harris lost the election, and of course it has to
be racism, sexism, or something like it. It can't possibly
be that she was a bad candidate and she had
no real ideas that she gave to the American people.
If you remember, I should play this audio, but I
can't help it. If you remember, the biggest first knock
on Harris for the extent of her campaign, which wasn't

(04:25):
very long, was that she wasn't even giving her position
on stuff, and that anything she was talking about seemed
to be profoundly different than the position she held for
most of her political career.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
So those things mattered.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Those things became big complaints on the left about their candidate.
But screw that stuff. That couldn't have been what helped
her lose and what helped Trump win.

Speaker 6 (04:46):
But then election night came and it was like twenty
sixteen all over again. So why do you think the
vice president lost? And were you surprised?

Speaker 7 (04:57):
I wasn't surprised, Not because I didn't think the vice
president most qualified person to be president.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
She is, she's not. That's why I wasn't surprised, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (05:05):
Qualified to be president United States of America. But I
was surprised. I wasn't surprised because they went the root
of the sexist ruit of the whole roote.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
I mean, this is a woman that great.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
Really, I've never seen quite as successful and a consistent campaign,
under cutting the notion that a woman couldn't leave the country,
and a woman of mixed trace.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
And here's the thing, I actually know people who would
say the same thing.

Speaker 8 (05:38):
I know.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's a strong narrative on the left, and it's one
that works if you're someone on the left and you
look and you don't understand how Trump is the president.
If you're that deeply on that side, then you hear
any version of hate exists on the right and you
just dive in.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
You're like, Okay, that makes sense. That's better. That has
to be it.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
What's amazing about that to me is it feels like
a bunch of those individuals absolutely would have voted for
Harris simply because she's a woman, simply because she's a
mixed race, not because she actually had a good campaign.
That's the part that's shocking. That's the part that's crazy,
or at least you hope it is. I guess maybe
I shouldn't say it's shocking because we've seen this movie

(06:20):
too many times for this to be new. But the
thing that's so crazy to me is like there's those
terrible videos, and I can play a bunch of them.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
I sort of want to.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Maybe I'll do it later in the show of her
just speaking in circles that make no sense, and interviews
with people where they're saying, I don't know if you
answered any of my questions.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Those were the problems.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
That's what went viral on places like TikTok, where young people,
especially young men, started to decide there's no way they
could vote for Harris.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
It wasn't because she was mixed race. It wasn't because
she was a woman.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
It was because she had no real plan and that
the person she was working for, the person who was
currently in charge, had done a lot of terrible things
to our day to day life. Those two things mattered
more to many voters than it seems Democrats still understand.
They still seem to lack site as to what the

(07:12):
issues were and where the problems were, and by blaming
race or blaming sexism as the reason for it, they
won't evolve to be more threatening, which I'm not mad about.
I'd like to see Democrats continue to lose elections. That's fine,
But if you keep trumping or you keep you know,
parroting out that same narrative, that same Trump is terrible

(07:33):
and everybody who voted for him as a horrible person. Idea,
you will continue to fail. And what's really interesting about this,
and this is Pete boot Edge Edge who popped up.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
On television as well.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
He kind of circles around this idea and then also
completely abandons it within the answer to a question. So
I'm going to play that audio too. But it's not
because she is a woman or not because she's mixed
race that she lost the election. She lost because she
was a terrible candidate. And do you know how I
know this beyond all the things I saw with my

(08:06):
eyes and heard with my ears, the fact that she
didn't even actually win a nomination to run for that office.
She lost against Biden, as everyone knows in twenty twenty
when trying to be the candidate, and then she was
given the nomination without actually having to fight for it
in a primary. How do you call her a strong
candidate when you never even allowed her to prove it

(08:27):
to your own political side of the aisle that she
was who they wanted. That's part of the problem, I
would think, And the thing they refuse to accept But
here's boot edge Edge saying that we have to do
better in how we go after Trump, but then also
saying that he's a horrible, terrible person.

Speaker 9 (08:44):
In the same sense, we have got to make sure
that our opposition and everything that we're against, and obviously
there is a lot to be passionately against right now
much but it has to travel with a clearer picture
of what we are for. Because there are a lot
of voters who, for whatever reason, and Democrats might be
shocked by this, but for whatever reason, did not find
any of the things they've seen so far about Donald

(09:06):
Trump to be disqualifying. And what that means is there's
something else that It doesn't mean they necessarily loved him,
but they need to see something more.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
He absolutely gets it right in the middle, and he
gets it wrong a lot of the other places. But
when he says we have to understand what we're actually for,
that is something that your own party doesn't know that
the opposing party can crap on constantly, because it's just
too easy when you stand for nothing. And the truth is,
you don't want to tell them what you really stand
for because all the things you do behind closed doors

(09:35):
are the things you'd like to keep a secret. You
want politics, or you want the voters to vote for
a political candidate because she's a woman, because she's a race.
You know that you think needs to be in office
for whatever reason, not because again of qualifications, but because
we have to, you know, break this ceiling or break
this issue. And then at the end of the day,

(09:56):
you don't actually want the policies to be part of
the decision because you want do whatever you want. You
want to have eight years like under Obama, where whatever
you say publicly is accepted and whatever you do privately
seems terrible for a lot of people. And I just
keep doing that. Let's just keep getting politicians in based
on non qualifications, not the things that you would even

(10:17):
get a job or you should get a.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Job based on. That's what they want to run on.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
So I love that he says that in the middle
that we need to be clearer on our stances on things,
because you're not clear on most of that stuff. But
then also the fact that he says Trump has not
been disqualifying to most Republican voters or a whole lot
of I think independent voters, because most of what he's
done is save us money, and we like that. We

(10:41):
enjoy when the government spends a whole lot less money
when Doge does what it's doing.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
This is a good thing to us. Not to Bill Gates.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
I have audio to play in a little bit where
he complains, But to me, this is an incredibly good thing,
and of course it is to you too. Just one
of many things happening that we're happy about. All right,
we'll take We have a lot to get to today.
There is a new pope. I lived in Chicago for years.
I am from the East Coast, but I lived there
for years. I am amused by some of the Chicago

(11:09):
specific jokes about the Pope. I am also a Catholic,
by the way, I should put that out there, But
I am amused at some of the stuff that people
in Chicago are saying.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Is a Cubs fan? Is he a White Sox fan?
All of that.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
And then I'm also equally amused by the narrative about
how much the pope hates conservatives and some of the
things he's said publicly about conservatives and how much that
seems to entertain the left. And beyond that, and something
I'll get to a little bit later, after a break too,
is how JD. Vans handled that in a tweet that
he sent out congratulating our new pope for his, you know,

(11:43):
being placed in that position. So I think it's really
interesting when the left wants to highlight the ways in
which they're fighting and disagreeing and the right sometimes without
anybody really noticing, and actually, quite more often than I
think you realize, does the thing that they say, we'll
never do, the thing that you know, we're mean and
horrible and how dare us we actually take the high row.

(12:03):
That's something that Vance did the other day. I we'll
see what comes of that down the line, and we'll
see how much this new pope actually acts like a
politician and not just a religious leader. That's yet to
be determined. I think some people are worried there's going
to be a lot of it as far as politics go,
and maybe there will be. But we'll see, all right,
but we'll take a break. A lot coming up. Craig
Collins filling in on the Data show.

Speaker 11 (13:42):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
That's right, it's time for a quick five on the
Dana Show. A d lash Dana last radio on x
on Twitter to stay connected to her.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
My name is Craig Collins.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Filling in the first one is audio that went viral
from a dad. He's talking about what he does for
his wife all the time, even Mother's Day, in order
to get her a coffee that's completely full and exactly
what she wants, but also a gift for himself.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Here we go.

Speaker 12 (14:12):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (14:13):
I'm biting you take the eye's don't worry your brother, look,
but I want to teach you something. You order a coffee,
No whites?

Speaker 13 (14:20):
Right?

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Five books?

Speaker 12 (14:21):
What do you do with the rest?

Speaker 7 (14:22):
Mean?

Speaker 1 (14:22):
When I do book? It's overflowing. I got two coffees.
Your mother's happy. I'm happy.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
He puts the ice in two different cups. He then
pours the one hot coffee into two ice coffees.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Makes two out of one, and everybody's happy. I love this.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
He's been compared to characters on The Sopranos because of
his New York accent and whatnot. But there's just something
so great about look at this. I'm happy, she's happy,
we're all happy. She doesn't need to know that I
didn't pay for two ice coffees.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
I just bought one regular one and I did it myself.
That's great.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
By the way, Mother's Day spending is going to be up,
according to some The National Retail Federation says that thirty
four point one billion dollars is likely to be spent
on Mother's Day. This is up from thirty three point
five billion last year, so just a little tick up.
Here's the funny part, though, In some of the news

(15:15):
headlines that put this out there, they also offer you
the cheapest.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Stuff you can get from Mother's Day.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
It feels almost similar to the way that people approach
Father's Day when they're like, you know, you really don't
have to get anything nice for dead. If you want
to go cheap from a this year, you can get
her flowers, dinner, a hug, maybe help her out somehow
to get a nap in during the day. These are
things that are actually recommended on this none of them

(15:41):
cost you anything. I love hugs and naps as part
of the gift to anybody because you think it's not nice,
but then actually it's pretty great, So they're good. But
if you can, you probably also should get her something
a little bit nice beyond just the hug and the
available nap. How but I do love that store and
then one other one. I saw this out there too

(16:02):
interesting story. A new study says you should not pass
your old car down to your teenage children. The reason
for this is that it's inherently more dangerous. Kids are
not good drivers, kids are not risk adverse as drivers,
and having unreliable older cars without the safety features of
newer vehicles is not a good thing. So if you

(16:23):
can't afford to go another road, do not give your
child the old car. I can speak from experience when
I say teenagers plus cheap cars do sometimes make mistakes.
This does make sense to me too, right quick break
a lot more Craig Collins filling in on the Dana show.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Thrilled to be with you d Lash, Dana Lash Radio,
on X, on Twitter, to stay connected to all things
at Dana and the show, and there's a whole lot
going on in social media that you connect with on
First TV, everywhere. She's a lot of places, very successful.
Let's get right into it. Pope Leo is from Chicago.
This is something and I lived in that city for

(18:13):
many many years. That is something that people in Chicago
were very proud of. There's a debate as to whether
he's a Cubs fan or a White Sox fan. I
think the final update is that he's a White Sox fan.
That's all secondary to what he's going to do as
far as or maybe not even maybe it's deeper on
that list than secondary of what he's going to do
within the position of being the new Pope. Pope Leo

(18:35):
the fourteenth, his brother was tracked down by news media.
I think first locally WGN in Chicago did it, and
then CNN and everybody else jumped on the bandwagon. The
interviews are outside the guy's house, which has to be great,
but one of the pieces of audio that went viral
is Pope Leo's brother talking about the new pope's position

(18:57):
on immigration, something that Pope Leo has not been shy
to share himself via social media.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
But here we go.

Speaker 16 (19:04):
I think he sees the United States as headed in
the wrong direction in terms of immigration, that this is
a total injustice. I don't know how he would how
he would handle That's a very difficult situation because you're
going to offend someone one way or the other.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
No, yeah, it doesn't seem like he's challenging how he's
going to handle it. From his brother's perspective, I don't
know why you'd even say it that way. But Popo
Leio does seem like he's going to condemn the immigration
decisions of the United States. Here's what's interesting to me
about that. And there's a lot of things that are
first and foremost, and I've said this before, just in
setting the table on this conversation, the other countries of

(19:40):
the world, countries that Popo Leo will not say he opposes,
do very similar things. Most countries in Europe don't even
have the ability for someone born on their soil to
claim to be a citizen. A birthright citizenship is not
a thing in other places, and that's one of the
reasons we have such an immigrant problem in this country

(20:01):
is that people believe if you can get here and
then you can have kids here, the kids can stay.
And that's something that people do for several reasons. The
anchor child, as you've heard before. If that went away,
which Trump is trying to make it go away, if
those things go away, though, immigration would change. And we're
already seeing a tremendously different border than we saw during

(20:21):
Biden's term in office. And that's what's so interesting to me.
That's what's so important about some of these discussions, the
way that people in places of power, whether it be
the pope or anyone else, choose to have positions about
things that are in the public conscious and then not
talk about the other stuff going on other places. But
the United States new approach to well, I don't know

(20:42):
if you call it new, but the approach that Trump
has wanted to take and did take the first time
he was in office, but different from the Democratic approach,
is to be more like European countries that again the
Catholic Church has no problem with. So that's interesting to me.
But beyond that too. I think just trying to politicize
these things. This is the best way to say it.

(21:03):
And I'm a Catholic, I'm a person of faith, so
I want that to be at the forefront of what
I'm about to say. I don't look to certain places
for certain information. And I think that most of us
do this and what I mean by that. And I'm
not telling you just shut up and dribble, do whatever
you want if you're a famous athlete, but I don't
turn on you know, ESPN for their update on you

(21:27):
name the sports athlete to hear about what he thinks
of Donald Trump. That's not where I get that information.
I also don't look to my faith to tell me
political things. That's not a discussion that I'm trying to
get from over there. There are some things that cross
paths where they are essentially both, but this would not
be one of them from me, So I don't look

(21:47):
that direction. So if the Pope has a position on
things that I think are inherently political and not about
my faith or my you know, belief in certain things,
I will let it go in one ear an out
the other. I'm not saying that I'm disrespecting the person
in charge of the religion that I actually, you know, follow,

(22:07):
I'm just saying that's not where I look for that information.
There are things that I want to hear from people
in charge, but it's not those and.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
So I don't.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
I don't pay attention to that. And I imagine a
lot of people are the same way. By the way,
I'm saying all of this to try to put out
there that I could have a hot take. I could
be anti the new Pope, I could be pro the
new Pope. And to me, and again, this comes from
being actually a Catholic, someone who you know is involved
in this to some degree whatever you want to call it,

(22:37):
I don't have that position. I know that even in
the industry that I work, and I'm probably supposed to
like have a hot take one way or the other,
I just don't have it because, and I think again,
most people will understand and agree with this. I can
tune stuff out if it's not stuff that I'm looking
for from people in positions of power of certain things

(22:59):
or athletes or whatever. That's how I can still watch
the NBA. I enjoy the playoffs in the National Basketball Association.
Nowhere near as much as I used to, because there
is politics that just sort of get seeped all over you.
But I can tune it out enough to enjoy the
games and be amazed that the Celtics can fall apart
twice in a row to the Knicks and have twenty
point leads disappear in the fourth quarter. That stuff I

(23:22):
can still be entertained by, and I think a lot
of us can do that. Anyway, let me have a
hot take in some other stuff. I'm gonna move on.
I do think this is hilarious and this actually does
make me much matter than discussing stuff about religious leaders.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
This is Bernie Sanders. He was recently on Fox.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
He answered a question about flying private and why that's
not against a lot of his stances he's had in
the past about climate change and how everybody's got to
do their part, and so somebody. The brilliance of the
Internet and wokeness actually is the place on Twitter you
can follow this or the place on x put up
a side by side of Bernie Sanders telling everyone who

(24:02):
spends money and does terrible things that he thinks hurts
the climate, the staff what you're doing, and then also
defending himself for flying private to do a bunch of
rallies around the country.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Here we go.

Speaker 13 (24:13):
What we're doing now is speaking to the American people
and saying you have got to be involved in this
process because if you want not, the planet that we're
going to leave to our kids and our grandchildren will
be significantly less.

Speaker 17 (24:27):
Habitable by rallies in a week. The only way you
can get around to do it to thirty thousand people
be sitting on a waiting line at United waiting.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
You know what.

Speaker 17 (24:36):
Thirty thousand people are waiting. That's the only way you
can get around.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
No apologies to that.

Speaker 17 (24:39):
That's what campaign travel is about.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
We've done that is what it's all about.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
What you want me to stand in line like a
regular person, go through the TSA and whatnot, and sit
on the plane with people I don't know? How dare you,
sir talk about the elitist nature of this stuff like
that's amazing to me. And I actually think there are
people like Bernie Sanders. I believe this, and maybe I shouldn't.
It might be more naive that don't even realize now

(25:06):
how elite they are, Like they don't even actually notice,
because if they did, they wouldn't be capable of saying
this the way that he wouldn't be indignant as he
responds to why do you fly private with how dare
you it's the only way to get around That's a
level of elite where you've just forgotten how other people
live their life. You just you don't even remember because
it's been so long for you. And it's terrifying to

(25:29):
me that these people are social justice warriors, that they
stand up on the podium and yell certain things and
tell you to hate the other side of the political aisle,
or hate the people who voted Trump into positions of power,
and that they're the everyman you know, they're the one
that's telling everybody to fight against climate change. And they're
this deep into their own elite crap life that they

(25:52):
don't at all understand your issues, your challenges anymore that
they can say this stuff and just move on. Of course, Berne,
just so you know, you could get around the country
just fine, flying on regular planes where you're sitting.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
In coach seats.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
You could still make it from one location to another,
and yes, you could still wait in line. And oh,
by the way, you know, to save people money and stuff,
taxpayers and whatnot. If you're actually making us pay for
some of this stuff, which I'm sure either ways in
which they are. You could also maybe extend your tour
dates out a little bit, maybe have one date a
day later than you intended to have it, because you're

(26:28):
not going to get to fly private every single place
you go, but you can get around just using actual
planes and you know, dealing with that actual life. Talk
to the tons and tons of business people who do
this every single day on regular commercial vehicles, who do
not fly private. It is not the only way to
get around, you, elite son of a I can't say
the other thing I want to, but it's just insane

(26:50):
because one more time and I have one more piece
of audio to play to kind of ram this message home.
It's from the mayor in Chicago, Brandon Johnson. But it's
just amazing to me that And I blame the politicians.
I don't want to blame the voters, even though I
make fun of the voters who defend these things the
way they do. But I blame the politicians for trying

(27:12):
to convince you and you believing it that these are
the same people as you, that these individuals have the
same challenges you have, and they live the same life
you live. And when they tell you to do certain things,
you actually think, whoever votes for that side of the aisle,
that they're saying it to themselves as well, when they
actually would never even bother to think it that they

(27:33):
would have to follow the same advice. It's the Nancy
Pelosi telling you you got to stay home during COVID. Well,
she goes out to the salon and gets her haircut
and then is mad that someone caught her. Not mad
that she did it. I'm mad that someone set her
up and caught her to do that, because they're always
going to live their life as if they're much better
than you, much more important, more special, you know, more

(27:55):
valuable than you are. And that's the one part of
the narrative that's so amazing that it's missed by so
many people who vote on that side, because there's so
many individuals you probably know them, who will tell you
how good it is to be a Democrat or fight
the fighter, all the crap they say, who actually support
these individuals who live these elaborate lives off of your

(28:18):
own money.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
All right, let's play one more.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
I know I'm preaching to the choir, and what I'm
saying to today, I just can't help it. How ridiculous
that narrative is out there to be seen if you look.
But this is Mayor Brandon Johnson in Chicago doing an
interview on a local radio station there talking about how
gentrification is something that he's going to use policy to prevent,
which is amazing to hear that zeid gentrification is simply

(28:44):
the improvement of places because wealth and money come into
certain areas and that makes them safer and better. He's
going to fight it. He's going to do everything with
policy to prevent it, which is probably why Chicago more
and more, at least certain parts of it feel like
they're utterly forgotten by society and they have crazy amounts
of violence and all these other things going on because

(29:04):
you have people in positions of power trying to create
policy that keep those places from improving, which is insane.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Here we go, that's gonna be in the purchase of Langle.

Speaker 5 (29:12):
Through the process six developers, five of which are black,
three are women. We are moving in the right direction,
and we're going to continue to move aggressively with development,
particularly for housing, and make it affordable. I promise the
last last thing. Green Social Housing is another initiative that
we're putting forward to create, essentially a government nonprofit entity
that allows for a revolving loan to continue to build

(29:34):
more affordable units and then to make sure that that
affordability remains in place, because what happens is you build property,
you build homes, and then of course natural accrue and
gentrification takes place. This is a way to stave off gentrification.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
We're going to stop it.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
We're going to keep the lives of the people who
are paying for affordable housing terrible and not have improvements
happen in those areas so they're more attractive to people,
and rent and stuff goes out up in those places.
We want your life to remain poor, we want your
life to remain challenged, because again we're elite.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
And you're not. That's actually what he's saying.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
He's disguising it as we're going to make sure you
never have to pay more money than you can afford
to pay, when he could also be saying we're going
to make sure you stay at a completely different social
economic level than the rest of us, and we're very
happy about that. We keep you down there, we stay
up here. How is that not actually what makes woke people. Man,
This is the stuff that should make woke people upset,

(30:32):
and yet it doesn't. Somehow they missed these narratives. All right,
quick break a lot coming up. Greig Collin's filling in
on the data show.

Speaker 10 (30:38):
It's home title lock and home title lock. Look, your
house is your biggest asset. And in today's world, unfortunately
with AI and all of the how digital everything makes
it easy, scammers can steal your homes title and your
equity is the target. They'll forge your signature on a document,

(30:58):
they'll use a fake notary stamp, they'll pay a fee
with your accounty, and before you know it, your home
title has been transferred out of your name. It only
takes one forged signature. You're not even going to know
that it happened. There's not going to be any warning
or notification. In fact, the only time you will be
made aware is when you start getting foreclosure notices, collection calls.

(31:21):
Sometimes people even have their properties sold out right from
underneath them. And in order to stop it, or to
save yourself or to try to claim your property back,
you have to hire a lawyer and it gets super
super expensive, real fast. You need to be proactive and
make sure that you have home title lock. Particularly, you
need to get the million dollar Triple Lock protection, and

(31:42):
that means that they're going to have twenty four to
seven monitoring of your title, ursion alerts to any changes,
and if frauds should happen, they're going to spin up
to a million dollars to fix it. Now is the
time to lock down your title, protect your most valuable
asset before someone else claims it. Use promo Codaina at
home title lock dot com and make sure your title first,
make sure it's still in your name, and then you'll
get to a free title history report and then a

(32:04):
free fourteen day trial of their million dollar Triple Block protection.
They'll monitor it and they'll send any kind of urgent
alert if they detect anything, and again spend up to
a million dollars to fix it. Go to home title
lock dot com and use promo code. Dana.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
This is the Dana Show.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in thrilled to be
with you at d LASH, Dana Lash Radio, on X
on Twitter are great ways to stay connected to her.
A couple things that I love that are also out there.
A sexy influencer. That's how she's being described, at least
in the New York Post and some other places. Decided
to bring a giant Great Dane on a flight recently.

(32:52):
The great Dane was claimed to be a service animal.
One hundred and seventy five pound dog is more much
more than your typical service animal. But anyway, she showed
up for the flight, she had all the paperwork. They
let the dog aboard the plane. Here's what's funny about
it to me. On her post, she's the one who
puts something up on social media. Pietra Lucas is the

(33:15):
woman's name, and she is rather attractive. But in her post,
many of the people who watched the video crapt all
over it. They can plain the way any of us
would if you saw someone board the plane with a
one hundred and seventy five pound dog. Things like this
is ridiculous. The you know, arrogance, elite behavior of this woman.

(33:35):
But here's what I thought was really funny. If you
watch the video, the people on the plane don't seem
as mad and the reason why. And I think this
is probably a thing that I've joked about before, the
good looking treatment versus the you're not so good looking
treatment in society. Most of the people that you see
in the video or dudes, and they're smiling at this lady.

(33:56):
She's carrying a hundred or walking one hundred and seventy
five pound dog in the flight, so it seems like
the people on the plane at least accepted it. Also,
in the video, you hear that someone talked to all
the passengers before this woman even joined the flight to
let them know what was going to happen. And I
feel like that above and beyond service only happens if
you're a certain type of person, if you look a

(34:17):
certain way. I think the pilots go out of their
way to make sure everybody's cool with something. But again,
the woman who is casually described as a smoke show
several times in this article, got her dog in the flight,
and everyone on the internet's mad. Everyone on the plane, though,
seems like they just accepted it because again, good looking
people get treated a certain way, all right. Other things

(34:38):
I find that's so interesting, so amusing though by that,
And I'm not telling you to do it either. I
just I imagine if you're sitting there and a lovely
woman comes on a flight with a giant dog, if
you're like, all right, this is fine, some might react
that way too, all right. Another story I saw out
there that I thought was crazy. A mother in Sweden
was convicted of harassment. She was ordered to pay two

(35:00):
thousand dollars to her daughter, who is a little girl,
because of a crack an egg prank that happened on
TikTok and social media.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
This happened, as I said, in Sweden.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
I wasn't the little girl who did all the lawyering,
because she's too little to do that. It was someone
who saw the video online and took it to a
Swedish court with a lawyer who was definitely down to
go this road. So in the courtroom, I guess the
lawyer convinced the judge in a crazy place like in Sweden,
that two thousand dollars is the deserved punishment for the

(35:35):
crime of cracking an egg on your daughter's head when
she doesn't know what's happening. They described it as a cruel,
reckless act in which you're humiliating a child and broadcasting
it to thousands of people. Again, the girl was not
upset and too little to do any of this. Here's
the part that's really interesting to me. Though, I don't
think that a two thousand dollars fine is remotely correct.
I think the courtroom can stay out of your life

(35:58):
more than they, you know, should hear, or more than
they did here. What I do think is interesting is
the amount of people who use their kids for social
media content and probably regret that as the kids grow
up and aren't so thrilled they went viral for whatever reason.
We'll talk about that later. Craig Collins filling in on

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you for the day
at Dana is back after the weekend. Find her on
X on Twitter, at DLASH, DLASH radio, or all over
the place other social media pages, television, whatever you want.
All right, let's move on to some things out there
in the world. I want to play this first. This

(37:35):
is probably the most boring of the pieces of audio,
not exactly setting it up well, but I think it's
tremendously important to a lot of the other audio that's
out there, a lot of the other things that happened
on television over the last twenty four hours. Steve Witkoff
is the United States Special Envoy to the Middle East.
He did an interview again I'm probably not selling this

(37:55):
as much as I should, in which he talked about
the difference between Trump as president and other people in
that role, and talked about why the president of the
United States believes that his personality or certain ways that
he behaves can get more done than say, anyone else,
and he doesn't have to go the road of typical

(38:17):
politics over here or over there, however it is. But here,
I'll let him say it first, and it's really a
setup to a lot of the other things I want
to play.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
But I absolutely agree with this. I absolutely believe this
to be true.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
And the uniqueness of President Trump or Donald Trump, the
person in a position of power like being our president,
has so many different advantages that people absolutely ignore because
they hate him so much. But here here's Witkoff first
saying the thing that I absolutely think is true.

Speaker 14 (38:45):
You're right, the neo con element believes that war is
the only way to solve things, and the president believes
that his force of personality, the way he is going
to respond to situations, can bend people to do things
in a much better way in the interests of the
United States government. And I believe in that too.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
I absolutely believe in that as well.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
And it's not just the unpredictability of President Trump potentially
being willing to say take action if you don't do
things the way he wants. There are countries throughout this
world that would be more afraid of Trump with the
might of the US military than anyone else. And I
think that's for good reason. Not that we've actually seen

(39:29):
that play out a whole lot, and I know the
left fearmongers about it, but the belief that he could
take some sort of action is something that you definitely
didn't believe in Biden.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
He was a paper tiger, which made me mad. And
there are so many.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Other moments where Trump's personality is used in such an
effective way.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
I will demonstrate one here.

Speaker 18 (39:49):
And when they took over a Buddha Dete, who has
no clue. You know, he drives to work on his
bicycle with his with his no affairness with his husband
on the back, which is a nice, loving relationship. But
he didn't have a clue.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
This guy, oh I got, I have a clue.

Speaker 18 (40:04):
And he's actually a contender for president. Between him and Rocket,
you can have that.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Party, between him and Jasmine Crockett, you can have that party.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Is so great.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
The way Trump talks, the way that he behaves, and
he does this in front of cameras for the American people,
he does this, I would believe in front of other
world leaders. He doesn't change who he is. It doesn't
matter what room he's in. The same version of him,
to some extent is seen. I'm sure there's a bunch
of more effective ways he goes about communicating than, say,

(40:36):
when he's off the cuff to the American people. But nonetheless,
there's something powerful about that, about not having to speak
in these these weird versions of you know, I'm doing
political talk, and you know it and I know it,
and we're all saying things that we know we have
no intention of doing, and we're essentially having a conversation
that's meaningless. This happens all the time, I imagine between world

(40:58):
leaders and just general politicians.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
To the public, Trump is immune to that.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
It does feel as though any conversation he's in it
won't be meaningless. And honestly, media will attack anything they
can that they think he says, even if they know
he didn't actually say it the way they wanted him to.
But I digress, and now let's actually demonstrate the accuracy
of these statements. And I love the way that this
happened on social media. I love the way that Scott

(41:25):
Jennings specifically, who is the only Republican talking head on
CNN a lot of the time. But I love the
way that he responded to it. The United States and
the UK did come up with a trade deal. This
is something that Trump is very proud of, a full
and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the
United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come.

(41:48):
That's how Trump described the Agreement on Truth Social on
social media. But what I love about it is Scott
Jennings said, just two days ago on CNN he was
told it would never happen. He was told, but absolutely
the powers that be in other countries would stand against
Trump and in all his terribleness, but somehow, some way,
that personality, that force of nature got a deal done

(42:10):
in forty eight hours.

Speaker 19 (42:12):
Two headlines that caught my attention. China says it's tearing
down walls to expand trade alliances a mid US standoffs,
so they're making deals with other countries to try to
protect themselves. And then also India and the UK striking
a trade deal. So everybody's dealing really in dealing with
each other, trying to protect themselves from an over.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
Reality's on the US as a nobody's.

Speaker 19 (42:33):
Doing it with the We are doing what.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Well you played it.

Speaker 8 (42:36):
Scott Bessen today under oath said we're currently negotiating with
sixteen of the seventeen most important countries, and he'll be
beating with the Chinese this weekend when they all converge
in Switzerland.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
I think dealing with.

Speaker 8 (42:48):
I'm sorry, you know, with all due respect to all
these other countries making deals, they're small and relatively unimportant.
We're the big player in the field and everybody knows it,
and people would rather do business with US than do
business with China because of what Jim just said, they
have all these strategies to inflict pain upon you if
you don't bend to their will or allow them to
break the rules. And so I think when you're dealing
with the United States, it's going to take a little

(43:09):
bit of time to work out the best deal for
us and the best deal for them. But I have
a lot of confidence that when push comes to shove
and people get right down to it, an alliance, a
trading partnership, business dealings with the United States is a
heck of a lot better than being reliant on the
Chinese because they have seen what they have done to
us and everybody.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Else in the world.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Yes, they absolutely will take advantage of you and they
won't change the way they behave. But I love that
because the follow up to that whole statement was you're wrong, Jennings,
there's no way the US is going to get these
deals done. Two days later we got a deal done
with the UK, and I'm sure there will be more.
But again, I guess go back to it, or to
put a button on this whole discussion and the way

(43:48):
that you're talking about at the beginning, if you're whit
cough for anyone else in a position of power helping
the United States negotiate around the world. The wild card
that is Donald Trump is tremendous valuable. It just is,
I think, in any negotiation of any kind. And the
things that President Trump actually does taking action in the

(44:08):
tariff world and potentially causing some you know, short term
struggle in our economy which we haven't seen as much
as we should and we absolutely should have lowered our
borrowing rates and we didn't, which is just ridiculous. China
definitely did that quite a few times to try to
prop up their struggling economy without being able to send

(44:29):
so many things over to us right now. But the
wild card that is Trump will always play, It will
always be valuable. It always be like, well, if you
don't do this this way, this person who actually is
willing to take action might do it. That's so much
stronger than someone who wags their finger and says, don't
show up at the border, or don't do this, don't
do that, Russia, don't invade Ukraine, and then we see

(44:52):
the exact thing happen. And I absolutely believe again that
that's the most important part. And you can go story
by story and find where that element even if you
hate Trump, even if you think that he's the worst
guy ever in the history of the world, as some
people seem to want to no matter what he does.
But even as you feel those things and think those things,

(45:13):
what's most amazing to me about this discussion is how
valuable that version of a leader is compared to anybody else.
And we see it again and again, and so I
just think it's amazing how willfully people ignore that in
the world of everyday news media in order to keep
going after having Trump derangement syndrome on a daily basis.

(45:34):
One other thing I found very interesting that's out there.
And granted, I think Cuomo, Chris Cuomo, who's a weird
guy to play audio from in all honesty, and he
did this a couple of days ago on News Nation.
He's all of a sudden, this, you know, like reformed
Democrat who says things against the Democratic Party now that
he's supposed to be on a middle of the road platform.

(45:57):
And sometimes I find them hilarious because it's hard to
go that far back and look at all the other
things Cuomo said and then take him seriously now.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
But I digress.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
He did this a couple of days ago, and I
probably won't even play the audio where he talked about
how the left is now going after John Fetterman.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
And it's amazing to me to just think of that timeline.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Just rewind for a minute, think about when Fetterman first
is running for office, how a whole lot of Conservatives
are certainly saying things about Fetterman, certainly not being friendly
to him, mostly because it seemed like after the stroke
he wasn't in a place health wise where he should
be in a government position. That did seem to be true.
So you can say that that's genuine concern or false concern.

(46:40):
I don't care, but that felt like more the reason
for the attack. Then, now that Fetterman is becoming a
person who says some things that are publicly against the
Democratic Party, they're trying to destroy him using the same narrative.
That's what's amazing to me, saying his brain might be
broken or he might not be all there, and they're
worried about it.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Now.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
It's incredible to watch because Democrats are up in arms
when conservatives do it, and they say how wrong and
terrible and you know, anti human or whatever they want
to call it that it is, or you're just you're hateful.
And then as soon as they need to do it,
because the guy is saying too many things that are
harming the crazy radical positions of your party, they do

(47:22):
the exact same move. They try to feed them to
the wolves the same way. It's almost like they're begging
the right to attack Fetterman by using their own attacks.
And you don't care anymore because, in all honesty, Fetterman
is starting to say some things that you can't entirely
disagree with. He still says a lot of things I
do disagree with, but occasionally he'll say some things that
don't seem so bad. And again there's reports that John

(47:45):
Fetterman is off his meds or he's doing this, he's
doing that. It's just amazing to look at the timeline
and think about how years ago, just a few years ago,
Republicans were saying negative things and Democrats were up in arms,
and now they're the ones attacking their own happens all
the time. That movie repeats itself constantly. All right, well
take a break, a lot coming up. This is Craig

(48:05):
Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

Speaker 10 (48:07):
I'm always going to carry I have no problem using
lethal force, and I highly encourage you to familiarize yourself
with firearms. I also understand that diversifying your weapons array
is incredibly important. And it's incredibly important because sometimes you're
barred from carrying, right, Sometimes you're not able to actually
carry everywhere that you need to. Maybe you live in

(48:27):
DC like one of my friends. Maybe you live in
New York like another friend of mine. This is where
Berna comes in. So Berna guns shoot chemical irt and
projectiles that can disabled threats from up to fifty feet away. Now,
they got carbines, they got all kinds of stuff. The
one that I would recommend to you actually the two
for this particular purpose. You know that Berna SD. They
just launched the burn a CL that's called the cop

(48:49):
CL for compact launcher. It is the size of my
forty three X or if you don't have a forty
three X, it's about the length of a cell phone, right,
and it's been reimagined for more comp packed concealability and
also retaining that same deterrent effect. And again chemical airturn
projectiles those threats. They can disable threats from fifty feet away,

(49:11):
easy target acquisition, no recoil, and it's about diversifying what
you have in terms of weaponry. You carry blades, you
have different calibers. I mean this makes sense. Also, I
also think it's a great idea for I know it's
Mother's Day weekend and this is a great Mother's Day idea,
but I also think it's a great idea for college
kids that are too young for handguns, but yet they're
living out on their own. You definitely should check out
the burn A cl or the Burna SD for them.

(49:32):
And they have all kinds of stuff, different projectiles, different
accessories at burna dot com slash Dana. So check out
that new burn A cl b y r NA dot
com slash data. If you ordered by May eleventh, you
get a free package of projectiles forty nine ninety nine
value with your purchase Burna dot com slash Data.

Speaker 11 (49:51):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
That's right, this is the Dana Show.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
My name is Greg Collins, filling in d Dana Lash
Radio on x to stay connected with all things Dana.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Last and her show, the Danish Show. Let's do this first.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
As far as quick five stories go, the world will
have its first mass produced flying vehicle, five hundred successful
flights of a Slovakian created car that actually has these
wings that pop out of the sides. They kind of
like come up like almost you know those high rising.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Doors on certain vehicles.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
I keep thinking about the time Machine and Back of
the Future. But anyway, they then kind of disappear on
the sides of the vehicle so you can drive the car,
but then they get pushed out, extended out so you
can fly it like a plane. There are moments in
society where no matter how much I want this thing
and it says it has like a two hundred and
fifty horsepower engine in it, I probably shouldn't have it,

(50:52):
and we probably people shouldn't buy flying cars like this
because it seems like it'll be.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Horrible for all of it.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
If you can't put down your cell phone to drive
a regular vehicle, I imagine flying a vehicle into the
sky will make things even.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Worse for us. But it is there, it will exist.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
It will be incredibly expensive, so won't be on the
road very much in the next few years. But a
mass produced flying car has been created, and again my
immediate reaction was I want one.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
I want one real, real bad all right, other things
out there.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
US life expectance studies show Southerners barely living any longer
than those born in the nineteen hundreds, so there is
a difference in a life expectancy depending on where in
the United States you live. West Coast residents gained decades
of life over the last century, especially women who live

(51:44):
on the West Coast, and the rest of us not
doing so great, especially again in the South. There's a
bunch of reasons for this, they say, many of them
just simple diets related. One of the things that I
think is really interesting, though, and I couldn't get over it,
is the idea that you have less stress because the
people around you agree with you. If you live on

(52:04):
the West Coast, especially as a woman, you might be
in circles of people who have similar political feelings that
you do and other things, and just not arguing or
getting mad as often as maybe someone does who has
more discussions with other people. Although there is a lot
of uniform thinking in other parts of the country, I'm
not trying to say there aren't, but part of me
wonders if maybe that's uniquely beneficial for the side that

(52:27):
seems to be outraged much more often than the political
side of the aisle that would live in a whole
lot of the rest of the country. I'm not sure,
but that seems to be a benefit also. And I
live in Texas now. I like steak, and I'm not
giving it up, no matter what you tell me about
how bad it is for my health.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
I'm not going to do it.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
And I really don't care all right, other things out there,
as far as Quick five go, A half ton spacecraft
lost by the Soviets in nineteen seventy two is coming home.
We don't know where it's going to land, but this
spacecraft is going to crash land on Earth at some
point in the very near future. That's just an odd

(53:04):
story to see and to think about that we fire
these things up there Comos for eighty two.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
It was headed to Venus.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
It's expected to re enter Earth's atmosphere this weekend. We're
again not exactly sure, although we think it won't be
harmful where it's going to be land where it's going
to land, at least for now. So that's since good
news bad news as far as the situation goes. But again,
they do believe it will actually survive re entry, which
is something a lot of spacecrafts no longer are.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Supposed to do.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
But we will see how that goes, and then we
will compare it to SpaceX and how much better Elon
Musk is at having stuff returned safely after firing it
up into space. Then back in the seventies when we
were just flinging stuff up there, especially the Russians, were
just playing stuff up there and then hoping for the
best years later, which is what it looks like is
happening here.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Everyone is cheating in college.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
According to a brand new study, chat GPT or other
AI is being used. AI is being told to not
seem like AI, so that a teacher using a detector
of some kind will fail. That's another thing that's weird
that's out there. You can tell the AI to write
a paper more like a human would, and even purposefully
make a few mistakes so that you don't even.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Have to rewrite it. But everyone is cheating, is what
they're saying. Now.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
When the discussion about the value of a college education
and the potential indoctrination to believe certain things from these
elite universities exists out there, it's really interesting to see
that people are also cheating their way through, probably something
they've done before in order to get that a piece
of paper that claims that you're more qualified for a

(54:44):
job than you actually are. And then you start out
knowing even less, it seems, than the guy who's been
working for five or six years and is slowly progressing.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
His way up the ladder.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
It's just interesting to see that now most people in
that world, and I have a college education, are just
cheating their way through at baby, because why does it matter.
I just need the piece of paper, That's all I'm
looking for, all right, quick break A lot coming up.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
Greg Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

Speaker 10 (55:07):
It's our friends at Preborn Mother's Days around the corner,
and Preborn wants to save babies and they need your
help to do so. In fact, they want to offer
one thousand have one thousand ultrasounds that they're offering to
women in unplanned pregnancies before Mother's Day. One thousand life
saving ultrasounds. That's their mission, and it's the sound of life.

(55:28):
A mother who hears her baby's heartbeat is twice as
likely to choose life. Your support can make that moment
possible and it helps women who are facing unplanned pregnancies
find hope. Preborn Network clinics are in some of the
highest abortion cities and regions across the nation, and they
provide these life saving ultrasounds. They also partner with women
for the first two years of their baby's lives to

(55:49):
make sure that they're getting off on the right foot.
And Preborn is the gospel leader of the pro life movement.
In twenty twenty four alone, over sixty seven thousand babies
were saved from abortion and eighty nine hundred women gave
their heart art to Christ. You can join Preborn in
their mission to sponsor one thousand life saving ultrasounds before
Mother's Day. One heartbeat can change your life forever. And
Preborn has a four star charity rating, so you can

(56:11):
give with confidence. You can give today at preborn dot com,
slash Dana orjonate by dialing pound two fifty say the
word baby, or give securely at preborn dot com slash Dana.
That's pound two fifty say the word baby to help
save lives.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about. Let's do this first though.
Press Secretary Caroline Levitt talking about the historic trade deal
made between the United States and the UK just earlier yesterday.
I think are late yesterday early today being announced a
big deal because again, a lot of people said this

(56:57):
wasn't going to happen, because all of these countries, we're
going to hold out and not work with the evil
Trump that they hate, who's fighting them in ways that
we never should fight our allies, et cetera, etc.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
Here we go.

Speaker 20 (57:08):
Yesterday President Trump demonstrated the art of the deal and
secured a historic trade agreement despite all of the naysayers
who said no deals were coming. That, of course, turned
out to be untrue. On the eightieth anniversary, a victory
day for World War Two, President Trump announced a great
deal that provides American company's unprecedented access to the UK

(57:29):
markets while bolstering US national security. This trade deal will
massively expand US market access in the United Kingdom, creating
a five billion dollar opportunity for new exports for US farmers, ranchers,
and producers.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Sounds awesome.

Speaker 20 (57:43):
This includes more than seven hundred billion dollars in ethanol
exports and two hundred and fifty million dollars in other
agricultural products like good old American beef.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
You know what's crazy about this?

Speaker 2 (57:54):
As these announcements go out there, there are people in
a lot of places in legacy media are just trying
to find a way to hate it.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
They're not listening.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
It's sort of like if you have a conversation with
somebody and you know they're just waiting to talk.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
It doesn't matter what you say.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
They're just going to say other stuff as soon as
you stop talking, and they don't even care what words
are coming out of your mouth because they're looking around
and they're waiting for the noise that they're not paying
attention to to just be silent for a moment so
they can yell stuff at you. That's how most news
media reacts to President Trump and the things he does.
They say, no way, he can't do it, it'll never happen.

(58:29):
It does happen, and now it's going to be terrible somehow,
I just imagine they'll talk about it ad nauseum that way.
But I love this because, yeah, this deal seems great
on its surface. It seems that we pushed one of
our allies to do more for us because we do
a whole lot for them, and they gave in because
they believed us when we told them that we weren't
going to play nice if they weren't going to play

(58:51):
nice back. All of that is important. All of that matters.
Just one of a few things that Levitt said today.
I'll get to a little bit more of that in
a second. Also, former President Joe Biden has made a
media tour. I do wonder sometimes in order for him
to be articulate enough in some of these clips, how
many certain drugs they're shooting him up with just before

(59:12):
he walks onto a stage, because you feel like we
saw a different version of this man a lot and now,
maybe without the pressure of the office, plus whatever narconics
they have available to them, he does okay in a
few sit downs for a couple hours. Honestly, I think
the Democratic Party wishes this is the way he was
behaving while he was the president, not that again, it

(59:35):
would have I think defeated President Trump. He was doing
terrible things with our economy and our society and the
world while also being incapable of speaking. But at least
now part of that seems to have gone away. On
the stuff he's saying, not exactly any more intelligent, just
at least stuff I understand. Here is what Biden said
about why Harris lost the election, which is amazing. And

(59:56):
this has gone viral since the interview yesterday in which
he said.

Speaker 6 (59:59):
This, and it was like twenty sixteen all over again.
So why do you think the vice president lost? And
were you surprised?

Speaker 7 (01:00:10):
I wasn't surprised, not because I didn't think the vice
president must qualified person to be president.

Speaker 8 (01:00:15):
She is.

Speaker 7 (01:00:15):
She's qualified to be president United States.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
She is not sorry, I can tell you, but.

Speaker 7 (01:00:19):
I was surprised. I wasn't surprised because they went the
root of the sexistirit of the whole room.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
Oh my god, this is a woman.

Speaker 7 (01:00:28):
She's this Really I've never seen quite as successful and
a consistent campaign, undercutting the notion that a woman couldn't
lead the country, and a woman of mixed trace.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
You know what's amazing about this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
The first thing I want to say is that the
premise of that statement me you, whoever is out there
that's a voter that didn't vote for Harris, that voted
for the evil, horrible Donald Trump, we did it because
we hate, you know, women, or we hate people full
of certain races. It can't possibly be that I'm intelligent
enough to compare the two messages to want an improved economy,

(01:01:08):
want savings within the federal government, which Dosee did a
great job of so far, but I'd love to see
a lot more done.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
I can't want any of those policies.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
I have to just in my brain and be like, no,
I can never let a woman or somewhat of color
be our president, even though Barack Obama was president for
eight years in this country. I can't let that happen,
is what they think. I'm yelling in my mind. And
so I go out and I vote for anybody. It
wouldn't even have to have been Trump. I could have
voted for anyone just to prevent Harris from winning. That's insane.

(01:01:39):
And there's so much of that insanity that exists out there.
And so I resisted doing this earlier. I'm going to
do it now. This is a supercut of things that
Harris said during her short tenure as a candidate for president,
one in which she didn't even win a nomination. She
didn't go through a primary process in order to be
selected by her own party. That didn't happen, and the

(01:02:00):
voters didn't get a chance to choose because darn it,
a whole lot of people knew that Harris wouldn't do
well debating other Democratic politicians. Because of this speaking in
circles thing that became the true narrative and the true
thing that everyone was consuming on social media. I have
friends that vote Democratic. I lived in Chicago for years.
I've lived in other big cities. I have people that

(01:02:22):
don't agree with me politically that I somehow still talk to.
And one of my favorite things is the amount of
those individuals during the political campaign that were sending me
crazy broken videos of Harris being like, man, how do
I vote for this? This is this is terrible? Or
this makes no sense? How do I punch this ticket?
And it had nothing to do with whether or not
she was a man or a woman, or what race

(01:02:45):
she was. These were even women that would say this
sort of stuff, not just dudes. So I again love
that that it had to be sexist. It couldn't have been.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
This mean Dick Cheney and Satan. That's next time the Lord.

Speaker 15 (01:02:57):
Is back like a demon.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
It rises again, Darth Vader Satan, thank you us. Hold on,
I hit play at the wrong piece of audio. But
I do love this audio.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
I think Kamala Harris is in that audio calling Dick
Cheney the dark Lord as he said that he was
going to endorse Donald Trump. That is not the super
cut I meant to play. But that is a super
cut that I enjoy quite a bit. So let's get
to a different one, a one where Harris just speaks
in circles and loops and craziness, because that's what she
did all the time, and you remember it, and I

(01:03:31):
remember it, and this is why she failed to be
the next president of the United States, not because she's
a woman or a person of color. And Dick Cheney,
also the dark Lord, did go ahead and endorse Trump.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
I love that I had that. All Right, here we go.

Speaker 21 (01:03:46):
It is time for us to do what we have
been doing in that time.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
As every day.

Speaker 21 (01:03:51):
We must together work together to see where we are,
where we are headed, where we are going in our
vision for where we should be because we have the
ability to see what can be, Yeah, unburdened by what
has been.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
That's right, and then to make.

Speaker 22 (01:04:07):
The possible actually happen, to see what is possible, to
see what can be, unburdened by what has been, to
reject the notion that the way things have always been
has to be the way things will continue to be.
I have a motto what I drink, I eat and

(01:04:28):
drink no for breakfast.

Speaker 21 (01:04:30):
I eat no for breakfast.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
I eat no for breakfast.

Speaker 22 (01:04:33):
There is no vaccine for racism. The climate crisis represents
an existential threat to who we are as a species.
I'm talking about the significance of the passage of time.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Oh, it is one of my favorites, right.

Speaker 22 (01:04:45):
The significance of the passage of time. So when you
think about it, there is great significance to the.

Speaker 19 (01:04:51):
Passage of time.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Because okay, I gotta stop. This is why she lost,
This is why she wouldn't have even won a primary.
You know it, I know it, They know it. But
they need to mobilize the troops to convince you that
something horrible and nefarious happened. Because the Right is a
bunch of just terrible people. That's the only way they
can process this. So instead, Biden goes on television and

(01:05:12):
says the reason they lost, even though he absolutely fought
and tried not to let her be the candidate himself.
He wanted to stay in that gig, as we all know,
and even did interviews right up until he stepped down,
where he said he was defiantly not stepping down. And
then Nancy Pelosi pushed him into the corner and didn't
let him run for president, which is crazy. But unless

(01:05:33):
this is all this is going on, we know the
real reason she wasn't a good candidate. And I'll say
this not because I think she actually would have beaten
Donald Trump, but she would have performed better than Harris.
Michelle Obama was the true Democratic candidate that people wanted,
that I think voters and the Democratic machine wanted, at
least on that side of the aisle. Obviously, the right

(01:05:54):
wouldn't have wanted to see that. And what are the
things that are in common between cell Obama and Kamala Harris.
They both happened to be women of race and women
in general, And so it's interesting to be told that
a woman can't win, and you know, someone of a
certain race can't win when there was a candidate out
there that media was begging to run because they thought

(01:06:17):
she was a shoe in to win. Again, I don't
think she actually would have beaten Trump. I think those
debates would have been interesting. But nonetheless, I do think
that it was easy to find a candidate more significant,
more you know, potentially capable of winning than Harris. Harris
was the forced candidate for a bunch of reasons, most
of those money. I should say that too, by the way,

(01:06:39):
before I move on, I believe the biggest reason the
Democratic Party allowed Harris to truly be the candidate was
not because they wanted her to be, but because legally
she was the only individual who could take all of
Biden's donations since she was on the ticket with him,
and use them for her own campaign. If they had
not done that, if they at the last minute, the

(01:06:59):
last given anyone else the chance to run other than Harris,
that person would have had to raise funds differently and
wouldn't have been able to use a lot of the
war chests that had already been created for the Biden campaign.
But shifting that money over because she was the VP,
and I think some people would argue that actually was
legally done was something they did that was the biggest

(01:07:20):
reason money was truly it because I think Democrats knew
she was not a good candidate and hadn't been a
good vice president for several years.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
Because as the.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
Light shine brighter on her, things that she said and
did seemed crazier and crazier. One last thing, just incredibly
amused by this. Tish James, or Letita James, the attorney
general out of New York, is in trouble. The FBI
is investigating her for mortgage fraud and a bunch of
other things. This is hilarious to anyone that watched her

(01:07:51):
go after Trump as desperately as she tried to in
New York and even get a civil case against him,
mostly because if you build a jury of people in
New York City, which overwhelmingly votes Democratic, the odds of
having it be a fair trial where people can keep
their politics out and decide if Trump is guilty or
innocent of something. It seems almost impossible to build a

(01:08:11):
New York City jury that could do that. But nonetheless,
James herself is now facing issues, and a New Yorker
showed up at a town Hall and asked her a question.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
And this guy's a legend. He deserves a free beer.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
Whoever finds him in the streets in the near future,
invite this guy in for a beer and anything else
you want, because he's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Here's his viral audio.

Speaker 4 (01:08:32):
Yes, my question is for Tush James. You apologize to
President Trump for waste state millions of dollars and the
state of New York for.

Speaker 8 (01:08:41):
A rich child.

Speaker 4 (01:08:42):
And how's it feel to know you are you will
be imprisoned from Morgan Store?

Speaker 22 (01:08:48):
How's it feel?

Speaker 11 (01:08:49):
How's it feel?

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
How's the field?

Speaker 4 (01:08:51):
Toush?

Speaker 21 (01:08:52):
How's a feel?

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
I love? How's it field toush? How's it field? Toush?

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
As he keeps his camera on and walks out of
this place and people are bowing him because he's a
New Yorker. If you know anything about New Yorker's booeing
does not make them weaker, It makes them stronger. We
know all about this. We boo our own athletes and
celebrities because we know that's the best way to get
them to do something a little bit better. Next time
I'm talking to you, Devin Williams, All right, quick break
a lot more this Creig Collins filling in on the

(01:09:17):
Dana Show.

Speaker 10 (01:09:18):

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
That's right, it's time for Florida man. This is the
Danish show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled
to be with you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:34):
Let's get right.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
Nake Got Afraid is the headline of this story out
of Pine Island and Florida. A deputy said, a man
with a history of getting naked in public decided to
This is shocking, get naked in public. The guy loves
to go skinny dipping, I guess, and that's caused issues
with local police. He was running naked through a Florida
neighborhood when he was arrested. The guy, who is thirty

(01:10:58):
years old, did not have a good answer for why
he was not wearing any clothing, and several different ring
or other doorbell cameras caught the dude running through the
neighborhood without any clothes on. That's the moment I'd regret
the ring doorbell, you know, Like that's the moment that
I would have wished that something had not popped up
on my phone notified me of commotion in front of

(01:11:19):
my house and then see a dude.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Running past my home without any clothes on.

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
That's one, as long as he didn't try to break
into my house, where I could just let it not
be a notification I have and a video that I
accidentally have to see for any amount of seconds, I
would again regret the doorbell at that moment, in that
moment only because there's other times that I like the
ability to know what's going on at my house when
I'm not there. But this dude, for whatever reason, just
hates wearing clothes and it seems to be a thing

(01:11:46):
that Florida's not so happy with. I love that these
stories happen as often as they do, to be honest,
because my brain goes to some weird places, and one
of the places it goes is like, if this naked
dude has any friends, and you wonder if he does,
or if there's mental health issues and what else is
going on. But let's say he's got like one good
buddy and the guy is talking to him at a

(01:12:07):
bar after his latest arrest and maybe some time in jail,
just trying to convince this guy to stop getting naked.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
In public.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
I just wonder how that conversation goes, Like, Dude, I
get it. You like that sort of thing. I know
it's very illegal and it's very creepy. You should really
stop doing it, bro, you got so much going on
for you in your life. I don't know if that's true,
but his friend would say it to him. The one
thing holding you back is the fact that you strip
naked and run around the neighborhood and the police are.

Speaker 1 (01:12:34):
Very aware of you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
If you could just get over that hurdle, man, you'd
be a full package. You'd be all there, all right,
et cetera, etc. That's where my brain goes, is the
one friend trying to convince this person to live a
better life that is obviously failing to do that. Another
Florida story, a Florida man was accused of spitting on
a police deputy. This is definitely a mistake that you

(01:12:56):
shouldn't make because this is actually assault. The Florida man
is behind bars after he was accused of this in
Monroe County. Robert John Hermanson is the guy's name. He
was found a sleeping in a museum and nature center
at three am. Deputies walk up to the guy say

(01:13:17):
there's no signs of trespassing, which is weird, and then
tell him you're not allowed to sleep here.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
He gets upset, he spits on somebody. Again.

Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
That is actually a battery and assault is how that's
usually charged. And you get in a whole lot of
trouble for doing that to a police officer.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
So a mistake you should not make.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
After being caught sleeping inside a museum, you should not
be in in the first place. Certainly questions being asked
about how the guy got in, if there were no
signs of breaking and entering, was something left open?

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
Is he connected to the place.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
I don't think that they have found any reason to
believe that he is so far, but it is. It
is interesting. One last Florida story that I liked a lot.
A nurse said that her wife was battered with cheesy nachos.
A nurse has been accused of shoving cheesy nachos down
the legging of another woman. So this is two women

(01:14:12):
in a relationship together. I think that both might be nurses,
but I guess in the police report, the way the
description goes is that she grabbed a handful of cheesy
nachos and shoved them down the back of my dress
in my legs. The victim, as described in the story
is a registered nurse who you know went ahead and
made a complaint. These are ones where sometimes I wish

(01:14:34):
that common sense would have prevailed, because the nacho attack
that sends you to jail feels like the kind of
thing that other people aren't gonna respect. In the whoscal
all right, quick break a lot more. Greg Collin's filling

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Greg Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be here with you d Lash
Dana Lash Radio, to stay connected to everything going on
with her and all the awesomeness that is this show
and all the places you can get it. I want
to show you something as best I can while on
the radio. I want to show you the way a
narrative is built. So CBS Mornings did an interview yesterday

(01:16:01):
with Bill Gates. During the interview, at one point, Gates speculated,
because he doesn't have any data to actually back this
up at, how much is going to, you know, change
in the world as far as global health goes. If
the United States pulls back on certain spending, spending that
often goes through his foundation, but jow, that's convenient. The

(01:16:22):
money sort of kind of touches his own hands, and
then probably a lot of us believe gets put in
his back pocket more often than not. But anyway, if
a certain funding for a global initiatives goes away, Bill
Gates' position is it'll cost us two million lives. Two
million people will die as a result of this. I'll
play the actual audio, not just the little fourteen second

(01:16:42):
clip that's making the rounds on social media, but the
full back and forth where CBS gets him to predict this,
because that narrative goes from Bill Gates making a guess
that is absolutely rooted in his own political bias, to
a definitive fact that people on a certain side of
the will now say Doze killed two million people. That's

(01:17:03):
essentially the way that this works is they'll go from
Bill Gates made up a number to we have, you know,
definitive proof that Doze is taking lives, even though they
absolutely don't have that. And that's how this animal lives
and breathes and grows. But here's the initial interview and
the things that were said that again become their own narrative.
Very quickly, much to the you know intention much. This

(01:17:26):
is the point from legacy media to do this.

Speaker 15 (01:17:29):
This money goes away.

Speaker 11 (01:17:30):
And you were talking about millions of lives saved.

Speaker 8 (01:17:33):
Can you put a number on the lives potentially lost?

Speaker 21 (01:17:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:17:36):
Absolutely, So we should be going from five million children
dying a year over the next five years to four million,
and now with these cuts if they if they're not reversed,
will go to over six million diness. So instead of
going down, we'll go back up.

Speaker 15 (01:17:56):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (01:17:57):
So it's a difference of two million lives.

Speaker 12 (01:17:59):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Yeah, that's my assumption. I'm just making up stuff as
we go. The advances in medicine may or may not
actually help us save more lives, even if the United
States doesn't write blank checks that don't even actually land
the places you want it to land. The main contention,
I'm going to say this for the cheap seats in
the back, even though so many of us already know
this and believe this the main contention for most Americans.

(01:18:24):
I would believe most Americans, with the overspending of government
here there, everywhere, is understanding that the money doesn't even
go to the place you're claiming it goes to that
it goes to everybody else. And you know, Ukraine is
even an interesting example of this because they've complained, as
crazy as that sounds, that they didn't get all the
money they were promised. They're like, hey, some of this

(01:18:44):
money that you told us was going to us, we
don't know where it went.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
We stole it. You stole it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
Somebody did. We're not sure who, but we're missing some
millions of dollars. That happens all the time. And so
the main contention is not that, you know, say, the
right doesn't care about the lives of children. The right
understands that government doesn't actually put the money where it's
supposed to be the most valuable. I'll give you another
version of this, and then i'll play some audio some

(01:19:10):
other places. I've worked in a few, you know, things
in my life that are nonprofity, that have portions of
funding coming from government and whatnot. So I've had tangential
access to some of this, not terribly close proximity. I
no job I've had has ever been in the finance,

(01:19:30):
you know, division, or any sort of leadership position of
these places. But I've been involved to a certain extent.
And what I find most amazing is even the places
at the you know, tail end of the process, the
places that want to put the money to good use
sometimes to help people in certain scenarios, they never get
the amount that they hope for. They never get the
amount that they're looking for. And you know, whatever the

(01:19:52):
narrative might be out there in society right now as
far as doge cuts and who they took money from,
we all know the reality is that by the time
it gets to wherever it's intended to go, a whole
bunch of people have already touched and you know, manipulated
and moved money out of these things. So inevitably the
actual help done at the last level is nowhere near
what you want it to be. And even the people

(01:20:14):
usually in charge of those organizations are making way more
money than they should.

Speaker 1 (01:20:17):
Be making to run those places.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
So it's just fascinating to see and hear and then
have some sort of connection and access sometimes to this stuff.
How significantly the abuse can go, and how you know,
great of a deal it is, how much of an
issue it is, and how at the end of the day,
not at all the thing that they'll admit that people
are actually against, they're not against saving the lives of kids.

(01:20:40):
They are against again wasteful and crazy spending in our government.
All right, I want to play something else. This is
the White House Press secretary. She is talking about a
couple of different things today in the press conference, one
of them being the potential deal between the United States
and China and some.

Speaker 1 (01:20:58):
Meetings that will happen over the weekend and Switzerland.

Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
Again, one of many things that mainstream media told us
was impossible will not happen. Trump will not be capable
of making agreements with people because he's a horrible man
that people hate, even though he's already made a deal
with the UK and it looks like things become more
and more promising by the day between the United States
and China.

Speaker 20 (01:21:19):
Treasury Secretary of Scott Bessen and Ambassador Jamison Greer will
meet with the lead representatives on economic matters from the
People's Republic of China over the weekend in Switzerland. As
President Trump has said, the United States and China have
been talking for some time over the course of the administration,
and now teams from both countries will meet in person
to continued discussions. You can be certain that President Trump

(01:21:40):
and his trade team will ensure we work to achieve
the best deal possible for America.

Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
I actually believe that, by the way, so often that
becomes just a thing that politicians say, but because Trump
is willing to take action, that then forces other people
to take him seriously. I believe we actually will get
a much better deal than we've ever gotten before. And
no matter what that is, we'll see what happens there.
But I just love this, make a deal with the UK,
potentially going to make a deal soon with China, all

(01:22:07):
stuff we said not possible, You couldn't possibly do it.
By the way, the Press Secretary Caroline Levitt also broke
bad against the media, which he does often in these
press conferences, and I enjoy it quite a bit, saying
how ridiculous it is for people to assume that all
of this manipulating of the market is just so President

(01:22:27):
Trump can make more money personally, which is amazingly rich
when you have the amount of people in politics who
enrich themselves based on insider trading, people like Pelosi that
somehow are worth millions and millions of dollars over the
course of their political career, and that mainstream media is
accusing Trump alone of doing this recently in how he's

(01:22:50):
actually lost money in the stock market based on the
tariffs and other things that have happened there. But it's amazing, like, nah,
he's just enriching himself. All of this is short term
manipulation for his benefit.

Speaker 6 (01:23:01):
Here's Levitt, You noted he is a successful businessman. Do
you know if the President has any plans to meet
with any of the folks involved with any of the
family businesses over there or see any of the sites
that are going to be trum.

Speaker 20 (01:23:14):
Not to my knowledge. And let me just get to
the premise of your question. That both of you have
raised a lot. It's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this
room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything
for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury
and a life of running a very successful real estate
empire for public service, not just once, but twice and again.
The American public re elected him back to this White

(01:23:36):
House because they trust he acts in the best interests
of our country and putting the American public first. This
is a president who has actually lost money for being
president of the United States. I don't remember these same
type of questions being asked of my predecessor about a
career politician who was clearly profiting off of this office.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
That is is.

Speaker 2 (01:23:52):
Such a good answer, so well done, that you have
people tiptoeing around what they want her to say or
what they want her to do, so that they can
use out of context versions of quotes from the Press
secretary to demonstrate.

Speaker 1 (01:24:04):
That Trump is benefiting somehow.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
And then she cuts right to the point and also
says it's insane and ridiculous because not only did they
not go after Biden, mainstream media actively defended him from
what seemed to be very obvious abuse and fraud going
on with him and his family. It's weird to have
family members as young as you know, ten twelve years
old that have savings accounts and other things in their
name trust funds with tons of money in them from

(01:24:30):
you know, other countries that bounce through Hunter Biden's pocket
and other pockets.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
That's just weird. That's just strange. But why ask about that?
Darn it?

Speaker 2 (01:24:37):
We've got to accuse Trump of profiteering somehow from his
time in office. No other politician does that, Oh, how
dare you? And actually Trump doesn't seem to be doing
it because as was said there he's lost money. But
one last clip from the Press secretary today talking about
President Trump's efforts to modernize air traffic control. As we're
seeing bad things happen. Newark Airport, not genuinely considered a

(01:25:01):
very good airport for many people, is having fairly scary
power outage issues.

Speaker 1 (01:25:06):
Here we go.

Speaker 20 (01:25:07):
Yes, I'm glad you asked about the FAA. There was
a glitch in the system this morning, especially at Newark Airport.
As you all know, I spoke to the Department of Transportation.
That glitch was caused by the same telecoms and software
issues that were raised last week. Everything went back online
after the brief outage and there was no operational impact.
DOT and the FA are working to address this technical

(01:25:30):
issue tonight to prevent further outages, as well as install
new fiber from Newark Airport to Philadelphia, and the goal
is to have the totality of this work done by
the end of the summer. I want to add that
this outage at Newark Airport speaks to why the Secretary
of Transportation yesterday made a massive announcement in investing in

(01:25:50):
our aviation safety, in our telecom system. There's a four
part infrastructure plan that was released by the Secretary of
Transportation yesterday to improve communications, surveillance, automation and their facilities.

Speaker 2 (01:26:04):
Wait a minute, I've been paying attention to legacy media,
and I thought Trump was somehow hurting air traffic control
and hurting our airports and hurting airplane travel in this country.

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
I thought that was happening, not the exact opposite.

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
Where you're improving stuff and giving Newark access to better technology.

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
You've got to overhaul a lot more of that airport
for people to actually like it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
By the way, I don't think all that's happening, but hey,
at least the computers will work and they won't randomly
have power outages and shutdowns that terrify people. There is
also audio I think of air traffic controllers talking to
FedEx planes and whatnot about the fact that they have absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:26:40):
No technology, which seems bad. That seems bad.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
So let's fix that and then we'll fix some of
the other things that make Newark such a terrible airport.
All right, quick break a lot coming up. Craig Collins

Speaker 2 (01:28:02):
My name is Greg Collins filling in d Lash Dana
Lash Radio and x on Twitter to stay connected to
everything that she's out there doing. Women are more attracted
to a bald guy than we previously thought, according to
a brand new study paid for by a weird dating
site out of the UK but anyway, two thousand women
were asked what the most attractive feature on a man is.
Number one was muscles. That was not surprising. A guy

(01:28:25):
in good shape is most desirable. About fifty percent of
women gave that answer. Then forty percent of women set
a bald head. I imagine that was connected to the
first one. I feel like the famous people out there
in the world who were thought of as very attractive
as dudes who also are bald usually have you know,
a decent amount of time in the gym. They're usually

(01:28:48):
people who go quite often. I would imagine I feel
like those things are connected. It might not be the
kind of hope that anybody who's polically challenged might be,
you know, praising this study for and I saw a
lot of friends doing that on social media. You might
have to get in pretty good shape, but nonethe, last
number two being bald, number three was blue eyes, four

(01:29:08):
was a beard, and five was actually dark hair or
curly hair.

Speaker 1 (01:29:12):
On this list, blonde hair came in much lower.

Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
So apparently a dark hair better, blue eyes better, and
bald even better than that. But only if you're in shape,
I'm imagine. I'm guessing. I think that's probably true for
any of them. All Right, other stuff I saw out there,
I love this. The Wall Street Journal did a report
on how high school juniors are already making seventy thousand
dollars a year or have jobs like that waiting for

(01:29:36):
them when they graduate high school, simply because they're taking
shop class and they're learning certain skills that seem to
be non existent in our society.

Speaker 13 (01:29:44):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
A couple of these seventeen year old kids who were
featured in this profile in the Wall Street Journal out
of Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 (01:29:52):
Talk about how excited they are to get out of school.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
And start working these jobs and immediately making way more
money than of their you know, classmates will actually be
losing in all the different you know, signing on the
dotted line loans they'll be taking out to go to
college is amazing. And this is only the entry level
pay for welding students or other people in these you know,

(01:30:15):
kind of typical professional places, because as they skill, as
the skills developed, the kids will have more and more
opportunities in those fields and will make more and more money.
It is amazing to see a report like that, not
because it's surprising, not because any of us are shocked
by the information itself, but because of how likely more

(01:30:36):
and more young people are to follow that path and
how that'll actually be. I think hopefully part of the
lost influence of say, the indoctrination world of elite educations,
is that you can go right onto a path that's
becoming so rare that it's being it's paid even better
than it used to be paid. I know a ton
of friends whose college age or high school aged kids

(01:30:59):
are actually going this road and making way more money
than I lost again when I went the traditional route
of going to school.

Speaker 1 (01:31:05):
Like an idiot. Other things out there.

Speaker 2 (01:31:08):
A man stole an eight hundred pound cannon to settle
a drug.

Speaker 1 (01:31:11):
Debt thirty eight year ago.

Speaker 2 (01:31:13):
Here thirty eight year old guy excuse me, in Kansas
found a rare Spanish American wore cannon at a park,
decided to take it, brought it to his local drug
dealer and was like, look, I know I owe you
some money about twenty thousand dollars, but how about you
take this cannon. And then when the guy said he
didn't want the cannon, the person who was trying to

(01:31:34):
give a cannon to his drug dealer also threatened to
kill him with it, and not that he actually knew
how to use it, So I think that was something
that the drug dealer might have been able.

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
To see through.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
But nonetheless, the guy chained it to his Chevy Tahoe,
dragged it to where his dealer was, tried.

Speaker 1 (01:31:49):
To sell it to him, and was eventually arrested by
the police.

Speaker 2 (01:31:52):
This is a terrible move in a lot of levels,
my favorite of which was, Hey, if you don't want
this cannon, this cannon's going to be used against you.
Darn it's crazy, all right, Well, take a break. A
lot more coming up. Greg Gallin's filling in on the

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. D Dana Lash Radio,
on x on Twitter are great ways to stay connected
to her. There is a viral video of feminists lighting
pink smoke little candle things to demand.

Speaker 1 (01:33:39):
Say and who gets to be the next Pope.

Speaker 2 (01:33:41):
They wanted a part or of a seat at the table,
a part of the conversation revolving around them, so they
could pick who would be the Pope. No one actually
asked them for their opinion. The pope was decided recently.
This individual, Pope Leo, is from Chicago, although he's been
living abroad for several years now. I am someone who

(01:34:04):
lived in Chicago for many years and was amused by
some of the debates that happened on my own social
media feed about whether or not he's a Cubs fan,
or a White Sox fan, or any of that other
stuff that's out there there also are the political avenues
that you go in the world of the New Pope.
One of them is from his brother, who has now
been popping up all over certain media channels. The biggest

(01:34:27):
reason why people are standing outside the home of the
brother of the New Pope, the first ever American Pope,
is because it fits the narrative of the left that
he is anti a lot of things that Trump is
doing in the world of immigration. It is amazing to
watch people beg for non political things to be turned

(01:34:49):
into politics. And I said this earlier in the show,
and I'll say it again. I wasn't, you know, accidentally
saying it. I do mean it. In my own life,
I choose to only turn certain places for information.

Speaker 1 (01:35:02):
You do this to them.

Speaker 2 (01:35:03):
This is not a shocking revelation, but that means that
I don't turn on an NBA basketball game to hear
what they think politically of certain things. They can say
and do whatever they want free country, anyone can. But
I don't really care what certain you know, NBA players
positions are on politics, and they won't, in fact, they won't,
in fact, you know, determine who I vote for, even

(01:35:24):
though I'm a Catholic. The same is true for some
of these conversations in the world of politics, especially in
the world of say immigration, Even if Pope Leo the
fourteenth position is that somehow it's against the you know,
the Catholic Church are against Faith's teachings because it's it's
mean to people. I think that actually it's quite mean

(01:35:44):
to have a system that allows for people to try
to get into our country illegally, not have any rights
to be here, be in constant jeopardy of being deported
if they say, get caught being here, which is what
should happen, and then have to leave. And also other'
here most likely be taken advantage since you don't have
the right to have like a regular job. I think
there's a lot of things you could do to argue

(01:36:05):
that it's more loving to the human being to break
up a system that's letting them come into any country
illegally and stay here without rights. That's one way to
argue it, not the only way to argue it. Of course,
that might be an overly woke way to go about it,
but darn it, I'm trying to argue with the Pope.
But nonetheless, and I'll play a little bit of this
audio you have the brother standing in front of the

(01:36:25):
house being talked to by a whole bunch of politicians,
or you know, television stations about political opinions, and I
simply don't turn that way for that information. If my faith,
my Catholic faith, guides me to look for information from
you know, the church or its leaders about something that
also has a political component to it. Abortion is one

(01:36:48):
of those things. In fine, then I'll go that road.
But if it doesn't tell me I need the input
of someone on this, I simply don't care what they say.
That might sound disrespectful, that might sound wrong, but that's
how I live my life. That's the best way to
do it, I think, because some of these things are
not actually faith based. They're political based, and I don't

(01:37:09):
need to have them in this way, or I don't
need to digest them the way they're telling me to,
because darn it, we are human beings and the faith
you believe in should be above the things that are
innately human that get discussed sometimes. But here I'll play
the audio just so you understand what I'm talking about.

Speaker 16 (01:37:27):
I think he sees the United States has headed in
the wrong direction in terms of immigration, that This is
a total injustice to these are people. Doesn't matter where
they're born.

Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
They are people.

Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
First, Yes, they are people first. And the treacherous journey
that it takes to get them from wherever they come
from to our country where they're working with cartels and
other people who do horrible things out of some of
these individuals that don't even make it to our country,
those are all things we could avoid by having a
deterrent that stops people from trying to get into our
country legally. And I'll just remind people as far as

(01:38:00):
birthright citizenship goes, one of the other reasons that people
very often try to make it to the United States
is something that doesn't exist in a bunch of these
European countries that the Pope is not in disagreement with.
So it is just fascinating to think about that and
how this becomes its own political discussion when the reality
is that I turn to my faith leaders for faith

(01:38:20):
based advice and sometimes I don't see a connection between
faith and politics, as most of us probably don't in
a lot of these topics. All Right, I'm going to
move on from that. I could be harsher in my take,
but I don't want to be. I truly just don't
care as much as maybe I should on some of
that stuff. The Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson talked recently with

(01:38:41):
a radio station in Chicago about how he's going to
try to prevent gentrification through policy decisions. He's very proud
of some of this, his green social housing initiative.

Speaker 1 (01:38:53):
I'll play a little bit of this audio. One of
the more insane.

Speaker 2 (01:38:56):
Things that a woke Democrat said recently. I'll tell you why,
but here it is.

Speaker 5 (01:39:01):
First that's gonna be in the purchase of lan Angle.
Through the process six developers, five of which are black,
three are women. We are moving in the right direction,
and we're going to continue to.

Speaker 1 (01:39:09):
Move by the way.

Speaker 2 (01:39:09):
I do love when people say, like, hey, we have
six developers, five of them are black people, three of
them are women. I don't need to tell you the
qualifications any of these individuals, because I'm putting it out
there that the reason we put them in these positions
is based on race. So I can tout this and
not necessarily based on them being the best for the job.
They do this to themselves, Democrats when they lead with that.

(01:39:30):
They could say the qualifications of all six individuals, you know,
like three real estate developers who have this many properties
and do this and that. Nah, screw that. I'm just
going to tell you they're race and whether they're a
man or a woman, and then move on.

Speaker 5 (01:39:42):
Move aggressively with development, particularly for housing, and make it affordable.
I promise the last last thing. Green Social Housing is
another initiative that we're putting forward to create essentially a
government nonprofit entity that allows for a revolving loan to
continue to build more affordable units and then to make
sure that that affordability remains in place, because what happens

(01:40:03):
is you build property, you build homes, and then of
course natural accrue and topification takes place. This is a
way to stave off gentrification.

Speaker 2 (01:40:12):
As a way to prevent people from improving a place
and making it, you know, more valuable, so then people
pay more money to live there. We don't want that
at all. We want something controlled by our government. That's
a green social building, that's some sort of government loan
that can keep renewing itself, that builds these places that
we then keep at a certain cost because we make sure

(01:40:32):
the neighborhood does.

Speaker 1 (01:40:33):
Not improve itself. That's insane.

Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
It's insane to talk about, insane to say, and insane
to be a political position you have. It's basically admitting
out loud we want to commit some fraud, we want
to do some financial you know, bad things, and we
want to tell you they're good things. And that's it.
That's all we're going to do here. Let's move on
and not pay attention to this. And I also just
love like the vilifying of business. Essentially, places like Chicago

(01:40:59):
have businesses is fleeing like crazy because of how much
they don't want business there, and nothing better says that.
Then we're going to build some nice places to live
and make sure the surrounding area doesn't improve enough for
those places to be with worth what they're actually worth.
We want them to be cheap forms of living because
we want them to be in bad places that don't
get better.

Speaker 1 (01:41:19):
Crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:41:20):
One last thing, I do love this too, as far
as just weird political stuff out there. Bernie Sanders is
being attacked quite a bit, deservedly so for flying privates
with AOC on their speaking tour, on their rally tour,
whatever you want to call it, and he got so
upset on Fox News when asked a question about the

(01:41:40):
amount of waste and the potential for all the climate
change stuff that he claims is so important to not
be what his actual actions demonstrate he believes in by
flying around private not go ahead and taking a regular
plane like the rest of us.

Speaker 1 (01:41:56):
And he seemed to respond with how dare you, sir?

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
Before I play that, I'll actually play the audio from
just a year ago or so of him saying that
everybody has to do their part. We all have to
band together and stop doing things that hurt our you know,
mother Earth, because it's our fight and we have to
fight it. And how dare he think that he has
to be involved in that? I love every part of this.
I love the fear mongering in the world of climate change,

(01:42:22):
which politicians do all the time to get free checks
and tons of money. I love the fact that he thinks,
how dare you believe that I have to be a
part of anything I tell you to do?

Speaker 1 (01:42:31):
Et cetera, et cetera. Here we go.

Speaker 13 (01:42:33):
What we're doing now is speaking to the American people
and saying you have got to be involved in this
process because if you want not the planet that we're
going to leave to our kids and our grandchildren will
be significantly.

Speaker 17 (01:42:46):
Less habitable by rallies in a week. The only way
you can get around to put the thirty thousand the
only way think I'm going to be sitting on a
waiting line at United Do you know what? Thirty thousand
people are waiting. That's the only way you can get around.
No apologies for that. That's what cam pain travel is about.

Speaker 1 (01:43:01):
We've Why do you think I would actually have to
wait in a line?

Speaker 5 (01:43:03):
Sir?

Speaker 1 (01:43:04):
I'm Bernie Sanders.

Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
How dare you make that a thing that I have
to do, even though I told everybody else they have
to do it. And I'm very mad that anyone else
gets the fancy benefits of that.

Speaker 1 (01:43:12):
I get. That is communism.

Speaker 2 (01:43:14):
That is socialism when the people in the political elite
are the only ones who get all the great stuff
and the rest of us have nothing and we're all
doing terrible in our lives.

Speaker 1 (01:43:24):
You see that again and again.

Speaker 2 (01:43:26):
It's amazing the way that these individuals, these elite politicians,
just simply expect us to not hear that part of
the message when they say this stuff out loud. They're
so used to this ridiculous lifestyle of being the political
elite that I honestly think some even of Bernie Sanders,
no longer truly understand how hypocritical they're being, because how

(01:43:50):
could they if you can say that with a straight face,
although maybe they can, it's even more amazing. But the
fact that he thinks, how dare you say? I should
wait in line? Is all there if you need that.
He himself is a multi millionaire who doesn't live up
to any of the things he asked anyone to do
because he doesn't care, and he doesn't want to, and
he thinks he doesn't have to because well, darn it,

(01:44:10):
he's better than you. All Right, we'll take one last break,
we'll come back, and we'll talk about a few other
crazy things out there. One of them, unfortunately, is a
Kanye West story that's making the rounds that I thought
about totally skipping today. It is crazy, and Kanye is
someone who doesn't seem to be in his right mind
very often. And then also, and maybe this is just

(01:44:32):
interesting to me. We'll find out after the break if
you find it as interesting as I do. A surprising
new category for some award shows next year we'll be
popping up in the world of audio. I'll tell you
what that is and more in just a bit. This
is Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
hanging out with you on a Friday. Dana is back
next week. D Lash, Dana Lash Radio, and x on
Twitter to stay connected to all things that are awesome
and happening about this show all over other social media,
on YouTube, you know, rumble everything, so you can find
her a bunch of ways. This is interesting. Kanye West

(01:45:21):
has released a brand new song. The song has a
horrible title, terrible lyrics. I'm not going to play it
for you. The song is called Hyle Hitler. It actually
features a lot of black men doing some sort of
weird formation singing all wearing.

Speaker 1 (01:45:36):
Animal skins on their heads.

Speaker 2 (01:45:38):
It's just very odd and you know, downright offensive to
a lot of people. But Kanye West continues to do
this stuff, continues to be someone who seems to think provocative.

Speaker 1 (01:45:49):
Is you know anything out there in the world. It
is just strange.

Speaker 2 (01:45:54):
I contemplated not even talking about this, but it's getting
a lot of you know, pub a lot of places,
and I don't know. To me, some of this stuff
stuff you can absolutely just ignore. You can let it
go in one ear and out the other and not
care about Kanye West at all.

Speaker 1 (01:46:09):
That's up to you how you approach this.

Speaker 2 (01:46:11):
His influence is only really significant if he has attention,
and I would just so soon. I'm not trying to
say you actually cancel him or get him to stop
making stuff. I just simply would ignore him. But that's
my advice. You'd do what you want to do. He's
out there again doing stuff. The Golden Globes will be
adding a podcast category beginning in twenty twenty six. They

(01:46:32):
will be giving out a category or an award for
the best podcast every single year. In order to qualify,
you have to be listed in the top twenty five
podcasts as far as audience goes, So that'll be interesting
to see. Joe Rogan should essentially just win this award
every year for a while, at least I assume he will.
But a lot of Hollywood hates him, so will they

(01:46:53):
actually give an award to him or someone like him.
Some things that are very successful in the podcast space
are successful to the chagrin of many of those people
who are going to show up at the Golden Globes.
So it'll be fascinating to see if those individuals win
or if other people win those awards that don't really
reflect who's actually doing the best in that platform.

Speaker 1 (01:47:13):
Dana does quite well on that platform too.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
I wonder if she'll actually be nominated at some point,
and if she gets to go to the Golden Globes
and see how everybody in Hollywood treats her.

Speaker 1 (01:47:22):
I imagine it'll be better than how they treat Rogan,
but who knows. We'll see.

Speaker 2 (01:47:25):
It'll be interesting again to find out even who those
candidates are every single year. Another story out there that
I thought was fascinating. A dating expert, a woman in
her fifties who says she knows exactly how to tell
men to be successful with the ladies, has given you
five don't do these things piece of advice. Five tips

(01:47:46):
for how men can instantly ruin the mood with a
young woman.

Speaker 1 (01:47:50):
According to her, I thought they were interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:47:52):
The first one, no cute baby talk during any of
the dating or the courting process, as she refers to it,
you should not do baby talk like you'd talk to
a toddler or a puppy. That is something that's not
gonna go well. It's an odd piece of advice. No
picking of your teeth was number two on this list,
which means that she's assuming a whole lot of people

(01:48:13):
have absolutely no manners whatsoever, but apparently that's number two. Don't,
in front of someone that you're just getting to know
and trying to date, go ahead and pick your teeth
or anything else like that. And then I love the
last set of advice because it's fairly repetitive. There are
three different pieces of advice for how not to use technology,
how not to overly pay attention to dating apps, and

(01:48:34):
how not to present yourself on them. No poudy faces,
no AI improved photographs, and no trying to take smoldering
looking pictures while standing next to the woman. So three
out of the five, or essentially, don't upstage me on
social media.

Speaker 1 (01:48:49):
Darn it, I'm the hot one. You don't get to be.

Speaker 2 (01:48:51):
The hot one in this relationship, which I found very music.
But those are her five tips. You do all five
of those things, and apparently the ladies are just gonna,
you know, be incredible to keep away from you. It'll
be incredibly challenging to stay single in an environment where
you follow those rules.

Speaker 1 (01:49:08):
All right, One last thing.

Speaker 2 (01:49:10):
Before I get out of here. A piece of audio
I like. It's a teacher in school. She shot a
video of her self doing this, so probably did it
more for social media attention than to teach kids something.
But she said she was trying to teach kids a
lesson on how they write instructions. If she follows the
instructions verbatim to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich,
it made her do ridiculous things, and the kids need

(01:49:32):
to learn how to be more specific, things like putting
peanut butter and jelly on the bag and not actually
on the bread, etcetera, etc.

Speaker 1 (01:49:40):
But I have a little audio.

Speaker 2 (01:49:41):
I like this mostly because of how much the kids
freak out as she's making the mistakes. That means she's
not making peanut butter and jelly correctly. Here we go,
would I make it? That's what it's said to do.

Speaker 1 (01:49:52):
I got my bread, I got my peanut butter, and
I got my jelly.

Speaker 6 (01:49:55):
So it's good.

Speaker 1 (01:49:56):
That's not the bread flat, by the way. She's squishing
the bread because they said to flatten it.

Speaker 2 (01:50:05):
That's good.

Speaker 18 (01:50:06):
Spread jelly and jam on the bread.

Speaker 6 (01:50:13):
I feel like this is good so far.

Speaker 2 (01:50:15):
She's spreading the peanut, butter and jelly in the bag,
and I just love how the kids are like, oh
my god, this is the worst thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (01:50:20):
This is great. This is an adorable video.

Speaker 2 (01:50:23):
This is the kind of education I can get behind
being taught to my kids in school and not any
of the crazy other stuff that seems to be out there.
This makes more sense. All Right, I'm out here, talk
to you later. This is the Dana Show. Greg Collins
filling in Dana back on Monday.
