Speaker 1 (00:00):
That's right. This is the Dana Show. My name is
Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with you. Dana
is back tomorrow. I think she had a great time
hanging out with a bunch of gun owners at a
very very cool event that actually the station I typically
work for, Patriot Talk nine to twenty, was also at,
which was a lot of fun, I think for everybody
that was there. I didn't go, but a lot of

(00:20):
fun for those who did. All right, let's do this.
Let's first play Beto O'Rourke and man, o'man is there
a bunch of Beto audio out there? We have some
audio will play a little later in the show where
he drops the bad word, the curse word. And I
don't know why. I'm always so amused when Democrats do
stuff like that, because it seems so unnatural to them.

(00:44):
If President Trump in the middle of something calls something
bull bleep, it feels like it's pretty normal. It's fairly
common for those words to come out in that situation
about that thing. And actually, something I've talked about before
that I like a lot. President Trump is one of
two people, according to several of these podcast interview individuals

(01:05):
that act exactly the same on air it off. That
would be Elon Musk and President Trump. They as they
don't care if the MIC's not or not. The Democrats
always act different when the mics are on. But here's
Beto saying how Democrats have to prioritize playing by the
rules over gaining power. One of the most ridiculous lies

(01:27):
you've ever heard, I imagine, because Democrats have been jerrymandering, redistricting,
all the stuff that they're upset that Democrats or that
Republicans are going to do in Texas. They're very upset
about that, but they've been doing it constantly and ridiculously
for a while. And that's just one of many lies.
I remember how Biden's brain didn't work at all, but

(01:47):
he was the auto pen president for several years. But
here's Bette O'Rourke exclusively.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's why I'm encouraged by what I'm hearing by Governor
Newson California, Governor Prisker in Illinois, even Governor Hokeel in
New York talking about seizing the initiative and redrawing their
congressional boundaries to maximize Democratic party advantage.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
We've got to fight fire with fire.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
I mean, we wish the refs were going to call
the fouls, that there were going to be penalties for
what they are doing right now, but the refs have left.
The arena are corrupted, and to fight this out and
to win, we got to be focused on it.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, you couldn't even really hear him say we have
to follow the rules how to fight this out, which
is just ridiculous because his internet apparently is terrible for
better O work there talk about weird, by the way,
to be someone who ran for the office of president
and your setup at home is just opening a computer,
letting the microphone pick up your voice, and the computer's
camera be the one that sees your face. And that's it.

(02:43):
That's all you do. That's not exactly great. You think
someone would set him up a little better than that.
All right, let's play JB. Pritzker, a fat cat out
of Illinois, just another of the many idiots, an individual
who told the people in Texas to flee and hang
out in his state because they'll be fine there. Even

(03:03):
though I hope the FBI finds them and arrests a
bunch of these people, which would be so great, But Anyway,
here's pritz Gerrett talking a little bit about President Trump
and so many other things that seem to disconnect between
Democrats and well everyday americans.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
I do want to look at the map of Illinois.
Let's take a look at this. Despite President Trump winning
forty four percent of the state wide vote in twenty
twenty four, Republicans hold only three of Illinois's seventeen districts.
These districts seem to be designed to maximize democratic advantage.
What do you say to those who argue that it's
hypocritical for you to criticize Texas for partisanship when your

(03:41):
state also drew maps to boost your party's standing.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Well, remember that what Texas is trying to do is
again violate the voting right.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Tec we didn't.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
We held public hearings, legislative hearings. People attended them, they
spoke out, there was a map that was put out,
There were actually changes made.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
To the map, and a map was passed.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
That answer is hot trash. You know it and I
know it. We both know how bad that that answer
was and how Pritzker's brain was even Like, I hate
that I have to keep answering this question because it's
a gotcha and they're getting me and I have no
better answer for this. Texas is not breaking any laws either.
They're absolutely not violating anything. Actually, Democrats pushed to change

(04:28):
some things about coalition districts that have kind of helped
Republicans push a little bit further now as well. None
of this. The only people breaking the rules right now
are the Democrats who ran out of the state and
went to go hide somewhere else. Those individuals are breaking rules.
Everybody else is not. But man oh man, how terrible
is that? This is the air apparent in the Democratic Party.

(04:52):
More and more people seem to think that the jellybean,
the giant JB. Pritzker human is the next person to
know potentially successfully run on the democracredit side of the
aisle for the office of president. And that's the answer
he gives to a question he has to expect and
seems like he doesn't even after Colbert and others asked

(05:12):
him about it. But man, oh man, is that terrible?
All right? Let's play another piece of audio. I think
this is interesting as well. This is Kathy Hokeel being
asked about her own redistricting redrawing of maps in New
York because they cheat. They do this all the time.
And again, Kathy's answer is we played by the rules.

(05:33):
That's exactly what the Texas Republicans are saying. They're saying,
we're doing things exactly by the book. We're making it legal,
and we're deciding to get more seats because you've been
doing this forever.

Speaker 6 (05:43):
Here's how National Reviews summarized it. They said, it was
only three years ago that New York's Democratic legislature drew
up a map so brazenly contemptuous of basic rules, the
governor district's contiguousness, that the state's Democrat dominated Court of
Appeals through it out. The New York Times at the
time called those maps comically contorted. That's their quote. So
your state's highest court at the time, all the judges

(06:05):
appointed by democratic governors, they threw the maps out. So
fair to say Democrats have done what they're now accusing
Republicans of doing.

Speaker 7 (06:13):
No, we followed the rules. We do it every ten years.
We based on said you didn't follow the rules, Well,
we did follow the rules. So the court was wrong,
Well we followed the.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Rules again, hot hot trash. Just amazingly bad answers out
of these questions. We followed the rules. That's on my
notepad is what I'm supposed to say in response to
any question about this. You're pushing harder. I wasn't expecting that.
I'm going to say again, we followed the rules. And
then hope that this ends. I hope that this goes away.

(06:45):
I'm so glad that this is a conversation that the
everyday American is having. I feel like we weren't talking
about this as much as just like an everyday society thing.
And because of Texas and then the obsession with trying
to prevent Republicans from doing things that Democrats do in
mainstream media, you have this version of us discussing this now,

(07:08):
and I think people at their dinner table are like, Man,
are you amazed at how crazy that map is or
this map is? And I honestly don't think it's something
that we've thought about as much. And that's not the
only way. By the way that democrats cheat, they also
try to get as many seats in certain states by
having illegal people counted in the census, and then that's

(07:29):
how they add to the seats over here the seats
over there, so they flood the country with a whole
bunch of people that are here illegally. They hope that
they illegally vote to help them out winning elections, and
they also allow them to manipulate how the census seats,
the amount of representation you have in any certain place.

(07:50):
So there's so many ways that Democrats are cheating, and
the last thing they want to do is answer a
fair question back at them, which I think is just ugh,
just so good, so amazing. Right, there are other things
out there. President Trump is going to be meeting with
Vladimir Putin. A lot of people are saying that this
is a high stakes conversation for President Trump. It might
be a legacy conversation. He's already found multiple different peace agreements,

(08:15):
which is amazing, and so President Trump is going to
be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. All of this
is before he potentially helps usher in any kind of
piece between Russia and Ukraine, which would be the biggest
blemish I think, other than the exit in Afghanistan for
President Biden that he allowed that to happen. So for
Trump to end it would be a tremendous win, not

(08:38):
just for Trump's individual legacy, but also I think for
conservatives in general versus the democratic failures that exists out there.
But nonetheless, as I say that, I do think it's
interesting that places like ABC are calling this high stakes,
because I don't know if that's true. I don't really believe.
I think to listen to President Trump talk about it,

(09:00):
and granted, you can believe or not believe whatever the
man says. You can have Trump arrangement syndrome if you want.
I don't care. But the thing that's so interesting is
he says, you know, Vladimir Putin wants to talk, and
I'll show up if they want me to be a
part of the conversation, if it's just me and him,
whatever Russia wants. I want this to end. I want
the loss of life to end. And so to him,

(09:21):
I think it's a I'm walking into this conversation hoping
for the best, but accepting the idea that it's not
necessarily me who started the let's sit down and talk discussion.
That's at least the way he positions it. And so
I don't think that the belief is that this needs
to end right now. In President Trump's opinion, he would
like it to. He would very much want that to happen,

(09:44):
But I don't think he's going in with like I
need that or else a version of a thing. So
we'll see. But it is interesting US ambassadors to NATO
have said it's possible that Vladimir's Lensky will attend the
Trump Putin summit, even though Russia was saying they didn't
want that, and America was saying, that's fine. By the way,
just real quick about that, just because I find it

(10:07):
again to be one of those things where mainstream media
needs to find its narrative and its position to attack
or crap on Trump for something. They I think wake
up each morning and go, all right, this story looks good,
let's figure out how to talk about it to make
it look bad. And I think that was it. Saying
that Trump would attend the meeting without Zelensky being there

(10:30):
was somehow a negative. But to President Trump, his opinion was,
if I don't go, no one goes. So they're inviting
me Russia, and I'd like to end this war. And
I have significant stake in this because of the amount
of support we're sending to Ukraine. So Russia wants to
talk to us, They want to get us to stop helping,
and I want to get them to stop having a fight.

(10:52):
So to me, I think that's very obvious that you
would show up regardless of if Zelensky and Ukraine are invited.
It's like basic human things. I would rather have a
conversation than not have one. And mainstream media refuses to
say that when it's a Republican, but if a Democrat
h they'd probably praise it. Although I would have been
terrified to have Biden alone in a room with Putin

(11:13):
any more than he already was. All right, let's take
a break. A lot coming up. This is the Dana Show,
Craig Collins filling in Dana back tomorrow, back after this.

Speaker 8 (11:22):
And if you are looking for like digital protection, that's
not going to make your stuff clunky, it's not going

get it for individuals you can get one identity up
to five devices, and families up to ten identities and

(11:43):
ten devices. This is great for elderly parents because online

Speaker 9 (12:57):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
That's right, this is the Dana Show. It's time for
the Quick five. My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Dana is back tomorrow a d Lash Dana Lash Radio
on x on Twitter. To stay connected to all things
going on for her. A great social media pages all
run by producer Steven and others, and Dana of course
herself puts a lot of that out there too, just
really great stuff. Follow them in any form of social media.

(13:24):
Let's do some things here. First, Apple, I love this.
They met with the President. They announced they're going to
create a bunch of stuff here in the United States,
billions of dollars. That's with a b. As Trump actually
said while announcing it, I will be invested. And all
of a sudden, they're up. Apple has its best week
since July twenty twenty after their visit to the White House.

(13:45):
Things are going well in the world of Apple. This
is a good news for them. Not that I think
that they needed it. I loved when President Trump, by
the way a ripped on Tim Cook. I don't know
if a lot of people heard that at the end
of what he was saying about him, Tim Cook is
not necessarily necessarily athletic. Excuse me, apparently I can't really speak.

(14:07):
I mean, that was pretty funny when that happened. So
if you didn't hear that, that is something that you
probably want to hear. You know what, I'll play it.
I'll go ahead and play that because I like that
so much.

Speaker 10 (14:16):
Here we go Ukraine, getting it settled, getting it in.
It should have never started, would have never started if
I were president, who would have never started?

Speaker 3 (14:26):
I want to thank Tim Cook.

Speaker 10 (14:27):
He's a great, great man, a visionary, a businessman, just
about every quality you can have other than athleticism.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
I'm looking at him. I'm not one hundred percent sure
about you. A good athlete. I'll bet you're pretty good.
I think he's good at everything.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
But I want to that's hilarious. But again, that was
Trump ripping on Tim Cook. But apparently Apple doing quite well,
and maybe Tim's hitting the gym. I don't know. Other
quick five things out there smartphones are ruining our brains.
There's an effective study demonstrating how bad this is, especially
for young people. Looked at different qualities of people from

(15:02):
twenty fourteen to now. They're already a world where social
media and a lot of things were already ubiquitous, but
maybe not necessarily the situation where say, every single human
being I was glued to the phone the way they
are now. Conscientiousness, neuroticism, agreeableness, and extraversion were four different
traits that were studied. Conscientiousness is the most important one,

(15:26):
they say, to just being a quality human being, someone
who cares about, say, your work, all kinds of things.
Sixteen to thirty nine year olds in the tank used
to be about fifty percent of people who ranked well
in that regard. Now it's only about thirty percent. Sixty
plus stayed relatively the same. Forty to fifty nine went
down about ten points from fifty to forty, but sixteen

(15:48):
to thirty nine in the trash neuroticism they skyrocketed upward again.
People about sixty years old or so stayed relatively flat.
People that were forty to fifty nine one up a
little bit, but people that are sixteen to thirty nine
skyrocketed from about sixty percent to seventy five percent of
that group. Again, agreeableness way down in the tank, extraversion

(16:11):
way in the tank. All these things not surprising, fairly
typical of a world where you're addicted to your phone.
But the data says how bad this is. I know,
one seems to care. I guess the good news here,
by the way, is one other quick five story. Fourteen
percent of kids are happy to go back to school.
Sixteen or sixteen percent are very sad, but fourteen percent

(16:32):
say that it's awesome. They're very excited. They look forward
to it. A whole lot of people in the middle.
On this study, twenty three percent said they have no
answer to the question, which is never good. I don't
think that that's good. I think you need to at
least answer, tell me yes, tell me no. Maybe that's
the first thing we do to get back some of
the mental capability of kids, is you just make them
say yes or no to one of the questions. They

(16:53):
can't say, I don't know. You gotta at least give
me an opinion. Everybody else has one. Let's make the
kids have one sooner. Now, I don't know that actually
sounds terrible too. But anyway, a thousand adults were asked
that question about their children, and a whole lot said
that their kids are very excited to go back to school.
The one flaw in this study is they ask the
parents because some of those parents might a lie. Some

(17:13):
of them might think that somehow it's a reflection on
them if the kid doesn't want to go to school.
So then they say, ah's great, all right, Well take
a break. A lot coming up on the show Thrilled
to be here for a Dana lashes back tomorrow. This
is the data show, Craig Collins filling it as we move.

Speaker 8 (17:29):
Our partners that will bring you the program. It's our
friends over All Family Pharmuffy. It's not their song. I

All Family Pharmacy. They have everything from nad plus, they

Speaker 11 (19:12):
Keep your finger on the pulse with a Dana Show
podcast delivering timely news with insightful analysis whenever you want,
straight to you on YouTube, Apple or wherever you get
your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you d Lash Dana
Lash Radio on x on Twitter, to stay connected to
all things going on with her. Lots of other ways
to do that all over social media too. Just look
for the Dana Show. Really really great stuff they put
on social media all the time. All right, let's do
this first. The President today announced a very big thing.

(19:49):
He will have full control of the DC Police Department
through the federal government, through the National Guard, because DC
is a broken mess. And the President started out by saying,
and I have most of this audio, I think a
Fox News cut off the very first couple sentences or
first couple words where he said that he's there for
a very important reason this morning, and it's to make

(20:11):
a giant announcement, which he did.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Here is very serious.

Speaker 10 (20:14):
Very something's out of control, but we're going to put
it in control very quickly, like we did on the
southern border. I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our
nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor and worse.
This is Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to

(20:35):
take our capital back. We're taking it back under the
authorities vested in me as the President of the United States.
I'm officially invoking Section seventy forty of the District of
Columbia Home Rule Act, you know what that is, and
placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control.

(20:55):
And you'll be meeting the people that will be directly
involved with that.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I do love the fact that when he referenced the
very specific part of the specific act he's going to
use to gain federal control of DC, that he said,
you know about this, You've heard about this before. He
already knows there's going to be a fight in a
courtroom somewhere so he wants to go that road. And
I'm sure a whole lot of Americans are not well
versed in every single part of every single rule that

(21:21):
might inevitably allow Trump, but darn it, some of us
will just take him at his word. I think you
have the power to do this, sir. That's fine, keep going,
go ahead.

Speaker 10 (21:30):
Very good people, but they're tough and they know what's happening.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
They've done it before.

Speaker 10 (21:37):
In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to help re
establish law order of public safety in Washington, d C.
And they're going to be allowed to do their job properly.
And you people are victims of it too. You know
your reporters, and I understand a lot of you tend
to be on the liberal side, but you don't want
to get You don't want to get mugged and raped

(21:58):
and shot and killed. And you all know people and
friends of yours that happened. And so you can be
any anything you want, but you want to have safety
in the streets. You want to be able to leave
your apartment or your house where you live, yes, and
feel safe and go into a store to buy a newspaper.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
You know what's really interesting about this part of Trump
saying this, he was reading off of a piece of
paper at the beginning when he says the act he's
using in this in that because of course that's a
part that he's not necessarily going to riff. He's going
to have to get that right. But then he lifts
his head and all the other stuff that he's saying
is just him. And all the time, whether he's standing

(22:36):
on the top of the White House, which I think
a lot of people remember he was answering questions from
reporters last week on the roof of the White House,
that is just the way this individual behaves. A good
portion of him speaking is just him. I imagine when
you write notes for him, if you're like a speech
writer of some kind, you put a few things in
that you think he's going to follow, and then you

(22:57):
have a big, just blank section that says, go head
and rift, sir, and then you wait until he comes
back to whatever it is that he's supposed to be saying,
because he will. But yes, I think it's true. Regardless
of your political affiliation, if you voted Democrat or Republican,
you would like to be safe wherever you live. You
don't want to have any sort of harm come your
way on your walk home. And I love the way

(23:19):
he said that to the press, like most of you
are liberal, I think, and yet still we're going to
protect you all the same as everyone else, because we
think that it's the right thing to do here. A
little bit more trump on.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
That buy something and you don't have that now.

Speaker 10 (23:33):
The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that
of Bogata, Columbia, Mexico City. Some of the places that
you hear about as being the worst place is.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
On earth much higher. This is much higher.

Speaker 10 (23:48):
The number of carthef's has doubled over the past five years,
and the number of Carl Jackins has more than tripled.
Murders in twenty twenty three reached the highest probably ever.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
They say twenty five years. But they don't know what that.

Speaker 10 (24:04):
Means because it just goes back twenty five years.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
I kind of love that too. It's like they don't know,
they're not really looking beyond this. This is probably the
worst rate we've ever seen. And this is not just DC,
by the way, if you live in any sort of
big city, or if you live in a place that
talks about a big city a lot, which most of
the states that have one talk about them all the
time in the news. All these cities are having the

(24:29):
same problem. Carjackings are up. There are young people that
steal cars to go viral on social media. That's not
the only reason that carjackings are up, but it's one
of them. There's just so many scenarios that demonstrate how
bad things have gotten in so many parts of this country,
and it's nice that in DC at least they could
do something like this to potentially take it back. Of course,

(24:51):
people are going to have a problem with this. And
I will say one other thing, and this is the
tinfoil hat moment, if you want to put it on.
This is something that people will claim as a conspiracy theory.
I'm not really sure if it is, but to me,
it feels like it's very much likely to be a truth,
a thing that's actually real. As well. Taking this level

(25:12):
of control over Washington, d C may have a fringe
benefit to what other investigations are going on. Gaining access
to anything and everything they didn't have access to before,
I might hand Trump some more information that might be
secretly part of why they're doing this. It might not
just be to protect DC. Although that's important, there might

(25:33):
be another avenue to gaining some valuable intel that Trump
wants to hold people accountable for all kinds of corrupt
things they do in Washington, d C. So we'll see
if there's a potential side benefit or maybe an actual
like the real intention of all this to be doing
this a certain way. All right, I'll move on to
Bernie Sanders. Well, I hate this audio so much. I

(25:56):
hate this. He's not alone in thinking this. What I
should say about this is I hate this sentiment from
Democrats in general. I hate the way that they demonstrate
hypocrisy in a sentence and they're like, ah, it's fine.
I'm allowed to think both things in this situation because
it's the only way that they walk away from any

(26:17):
sort of topic a believing that there's not an obvious solution.
They're like, well, it has to be complicated because of
this or that. Bernie Sanders was talking about Hamas and
talking about what's going on with Israel in Gaza. He
says out loud that Hamas has no responsibility or culpability
for the starving of people in Gaza. Now, what's interesting

(26:39):
about that is the way that he should mean that
is that Hamas is not protecting the people that they
voted into power because it's a terrorist organization and this
small piece of land, this small strip of you know,
earth in the United in the world, excuse me, that
has a ton of people on it voted into group

(27:00):
that doesn't care about their safety whatsoever. I've talked about
many times how in Ukraine, one of the reasons you
don't see as much civilian harm happen during a conflict
is Ukraine allows people to hide under the earth, in
underground bunkers and whatnot throughout cities and states whenever the
bombing happens. Hamas has a tremendous amount of underground tunnels.

(27:23):
They don't let any of the people in them. They
only let themselves, the terrorist group go through that system,
which is one of the reasons that more people are
in jeopardy during the back and forth fighting between Israel
and Hamas. But anyway, the reason that Sanders is saying
this is because he thinks that it shifts blame entirely
to Israel. And this is insane. This is as hypocritical

(27:45):
as you can possibly get to admit that Hamas doesn't
care at all about the people that they're supposed to
care about, and then at the same time somehow blame
Israel for that is the brokenness of people's minds that
exists to a degree that I'll never understand in order
to walk away from a situation and say I have
to be right. This is why, this is how nothing

(28:06):
else could possibly be true, essentially meaning that it can't
possibly be accurate to say that it's Hamas's fault that
people are starving and in Gaza, et cetera, et cetera.
Here you say.

Speaker 12 (28:17):
Hamas has some culpability and people starving, No woy when
they spent so much money building tunnels and everything under
right now.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
And they also steal people's food. By the way, Bernie,
right now what is going on is a floral all right,
and right now Israel is you know with.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Woud you say Hamas has some all right?

Speaker 1 (28:39):
That was it. That's all we need. He's just going
to go on and on after that. So I don't
want to play any of the rest of that. But anyway,
Bernie Sanders doesn't think that the group in charge is
at all responsible for getting the food to people or
not taking it, et cetera. Et cetera. The reason that
this matters so much, by the way, this exact same

(28:59):
sentiment is the kind of thing that makes elite people
in Washington think they can steal all your money and
not care about you. They don't think the rules apply
to everyone equally. They think that the side they disagree
with has to play by a different set of rules.
Of course, in the redistrict thing and all those other
conversations happening right now, the same version of events keeps
playing out, and it's kind of amazing. And actually, we'll

(29:22):
play some audio in about twenty minutes of all the
times when mainstream media actually did its job somewhat recently
and ask Democrats why their own maps of their states
look ridiculous, And a whole bunch of Democrats in places
like Illinois and New York just gave terrible, hot, trash
answers to those questions. But one more time, what I

(29:43):
think is so important about the way in which this
discussion goes. With Trump about to sit down and talk
to Vladimir Putin and potentially hopefully end any sort of
conflict between Russia and Ukraine and then hopefully then start
to direct some attention and not that he's not paying
attention to it. I'm sure he is to get away
to find peace between Israel and Hamas, and that does

(30:04):
involve a lot more support of Israel than the terrorist
group that runs of the Gaza strip. But anyway, what
I think just really matters. The biggest takeaway from this
discussion is how amazing it is that Democrats have to
play these gymnastics, mental hurdles things in their mind in
order to find a way to believe the one thing

(30:24):
that makes them think that the solution can only be
Israel's and Amas is not involved. Because it's insane, It's
truly insane. And if they think that, you should be
terrified of what they're doing behind closed doors to harm
you here in this country, Because if they really believe
that Hamas doesn't have any sort of responsibility for the
people that voted them into power in that area, then

(30:45):
what exactly do they think they're supposed to do as
a representative of yours. That's a great question that I
think you should probably be asking yourself all the time,
but you probably should have been asking it a long
time ago. But even more so, I would Sanders sit
down with CNN. All right, Well, take a break a
lot coming up. This is Craig Collins filling in on
the Danish show More Next the.

Speaker 8 (31:04):
Folks that will bring you the program burnegun. It's always
good to diversify your weapons array because you carry different calibers.
You carry blade, you carry pistols, you carry all this stuff.
So why not have something when you are completely disarmed
from basically doing anything due to private property restrictions, municipal
and local restrictions. This is where bernergun comes in. I
think it's a really good remedy for any kind of

(31:26):
for the issue of ken you're a college student who's
not old enough to carry a pistol but still needs
to protect themselves, protect themselves. Bern agun is It's a pistol,
but it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats
from up to fifty feet away. And it's easy target acquisition,
no recoil, legal in all fifty states, requires zero background checks,

(31:46):
zero permits, zero fee, zero anything. It can be shipped
right to your front door. The SD, which is the pistol,
it's the best selling model, and then the new CL
which is more compact. It's smaller than the SD, but
you're losing on any kind of power with it. You
can go and choose your color, the accessories, all kinds
of stuff, but it's a great way to diversify your

(32:09):
weapons array and make sure that even when you know
you're you're not able to carry or maybe you're not
old enough to carry out, but you're like living out
in town for college. This is an option you really
need to consider. You can visit burna dot com slash

Speaker 11 (32:26):
Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show
podcast where every update comes with a little dash of
not so serious. On YouTube, Apple or wherever you get
your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Greg Collins,
filling in a d Lash Dana Lash Radio on x
on Twitter. Best way to stay connected to her, but
she's all over social media, lots of ways to find her.
I thought this was interesting and certainly a little bit surprising,
but in a good way. A tiny little Pomeranian chased
off a bear that broke into somebody's house. This happened

(32:59):
I think in Canada, in Vancouver. I don't know what
other terrible things are happening. Lots of terrible things that
happen in Canada. This is apparently good news out of there,
so way to go them. But anyway, the Pomeranian was fearless,
and its owner, Kayla, talked about how awesome it was
to watch the dog go ahead and jump into action
when the black bear was in the house, something that

(33:20):
I think also probably is unique to Canada. There's probably
a whole lot of people that deal with Ah, there's
a black bear in my house today, compared to here
in the States. Here we go.

Speaker 13 (33:28):
I was surprised, but also he's scary when he's mad.
Was around noon and I was in the washroom getting ready.
He came sprinting around the corner and I just saw
the bear running out of our kitchen and he chased
it out of the house. He just likes to assert
his dominance, or like we'll call him the alpha dog.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, I hate everything about Kayla. I think I don't
like it all the way she spoke there. I know
that she's talking about something silly and fun, and that's great.
I feel like i'd be very annoyed by Kayla very quickly.
The other conversation. I don't mean to break bad at her,
but anyway, yes, I think it's just because of her
tongue in cheek, but somewhat serious. It sounds a version

(34:10):
of thinking that her Pomeranian is intimidating. I don't like
that at all. But way to go a dog that
feels like the alpha person in the house in defending
yourself from the bear, because it seems to be the
kind of thing that maybe is happening all the time
in that world. All right, let's move on to this.
Police were searching for a guy they believed was involved
in a drive by shooting. For some reason, the man

(34:33):
decided to pull over by the side of the road
and treat himself like an amusement park. He was doing
things to his body that you probably shouldn't be doing
in public and in a vehicle, especially when cops are
looking for you for something else. Some other kind of
shooting that was going on. But here's a little bit
of audio of a police lieutenant talking about the arrest
that was made of Ryan Campbell, who is a man

(34:55):
that obviously doesn't care about a whole lot of roles
in our society. If you drive by and try to
kill people and then try to fire off other bullets
alone in your car. Here we go.

Speaker 14 (35:05):
He approached the car so that the driver was lean back.
The elster also noticed that there was a revolver in
a passenger seat, arrested him for open lewdness, took the gun,
towed the car, and then he contacted the Tennicum police
that he was aware of an incident they had where
a house was shot at.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yeah, so this guy is, you know, doing all sorts
of things, firing bullets in public he should not be firing,
but again, very much in trouble for it, very much
cocked and arrested. Ryan Campbell. Just a weird decision, by
the way, that's got to feel, I don't know if
that's the right word for it. That's got to be
a strange thing to decide in your brain to do

(35:45):
in the first place. That's what I want to say
about this. And I'm trying to be very careful because
you have so many opportunities to not be in the
vehicle that you just used for a drive by shooting
to do the thing that this guy was doing. That
doesn't enable you to get caught by the cops. So
it's a very strange thing for Rian to be like, Yeah,
I'm gonna do something else I shouldn't do, and that's

(36:07):
what's going to cause me to eventually be thrown in
those cow I'm glad that this is weird. This is
an odd sentence too. I'm glad that he did this
because it wound up getting him caught and then he
wound up going to jail. So certainly a good thing
that happened here, even if a horrible thing as all
I can't even say that straight faced, But even if
a horrible thing happened, there's a good thing that happened

(36:27):
to of course. All right, one other quick story before
we take a break. Although we have very little time
to talk about this, we'll probably do it more later.
There is a trend online where women set up dates
with total strangers in order to get them to build
Ikea furniture for them. It's a real story, more dating
apps than ever, where women are like, oh, you know

(36:48):
what would be fun. You should swing over to the
house and we can help build this Ikea thing that
I got, And then they actually put the man to work,
and then they usually say thank you and let him
leave after that, and you know, maybe there will be
another date. What's a real thing happening. I'm glad that
some of these guys that they're actually picking up for
these dates can build this stuff, because I was worried
at first that maybe a lot of young people I

(37:09):
couldn't even put this stuff together. But they at least
can do that, So that's good. The bad might be
that you should say no if someone wants you to
build stuff on your first date. All right, well take
a break. A lot coming up the day in the show,
Greig Collins filling in.

Speaker 8 (37:21):
Florida based company Caltech. The company Celtech, they have a
They've come up with a couple of new firearms in
the past year and over at Caltech. The PR fifty
seven is one of them. It's a rotary barrel pistol
chambered in five to seven. It's forty percent lighter than
other five sevens that are in existence, and the rotary
barrel helps that contributes to the lightness of the pistol.

(37:43):
The unique top loading design also is one of the
explanations for why it's slimmer. That replaces traditional magazines with
stripper clips, so you get that slimmer carry profile, but
also a twenty plus one capacity, very easy field strip
it low recoil for use of use and accuracy as
well and MSRP of only three ninety nine. You can

(38:05):
check it out at Kultukweapons dot com and see the
other stuff that they have over there made in the USA.
That's k e l Tec Weapons dot Com. Tell them
Dana sent you.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
filling in. Dana is back tomorrow, thrilled to be with you.
Lots of stuff out there to talk about. D Lash,
Dana Lash Radio on X on Twitter. Ridiculous is the
Democratic position on redistricting, on jerrymandering, on all the stuff
that they're upset that Texas is doing, and partially and

(38:37):
I don't want to get too in the weeds in
explaining something as far as the state of Texas goes.
I live in Houston. I work at Patriot Talk nine twenty,
which is a loyal Dana affiliate, and actually they all
just hung out, I believe, at a recent Gun Owners
of America event that happened in Knoxville, Tennessee, which was awesome.
I didn't get to go, but a lot of people

(38:58):
that did. I think they had a lot of fun,
including Dana was there, which is very cool. But anyway,
one thing I think is pretty important about this discussion
about Texas and again, living here, I think I understand
it a little bit more than maybe people who are
seeing this in the news and don't live at least
in the state. Coalition districts essentially a way that a

(39:19):
lot of places have said that cities get disproportionate impact
on the states in which they they you know, wind
up voting a certain way or the political identity, say
in Illinois, New York, California fall into this category. They
allow these politicians legally to carve out tiny little slices

(39:42):
of say the city, and then shoot it off into
the suburbs where a whole lot of people think something differently,
in order to get disproportionate control of seats. And they
do that because they say that, you know, this minority
group or this group needs a vote, and Democrats are
the ones that did away with that. In Texas, Democrats
are the ones that challenge it.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Legally.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
The courts decided that you don't really need those and
so now Texas is going to redraw its maps to
give even more control to Republicans in a very red state.
The other exercise that I often tell liberal friends or
anybody that argues with me on this stuff to do
is just look up the map of the United States
as far as the last presidential election or any presidential

(40:22):
election goes, and see how red the map is. There's
these little blue dots where cities are, but by and large,
the country believes in conservative values, believes in a restriction
of government. They want to see a very little spending,
a very little involvement in your day to day life.
These are core tenants of a vast majority of the

(40:42):
people who live in this country when you look at
it based on the spread of ideas. These concentrations of
thought in these cities, at least that's what they tell us,
where they're overwhelmingly blue and want the government to waste
all your money, are the only reason that we have
contentious elections in the place. It would be a Republican
after republican if we did this a little bit differently.

(41:05):
So I just find it interesting that the Democrats, the
ones who've been doing this forever, are now complaining about
it happening more in Texas, something that they also partly created.
An opportunity for But here's Beta Or popping up on
MSNBC saying, how I guess we have to break the
rules now, something that Democrats have been doing for quite
some time.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Absolutely, and I just think it's super clear that Republicans
care about power and nothing else. And for far too long,
Democrats have cared about being right, coloring within the lines
public rules and power has always been a secondary consideration.
We need to absolutely flip that around and focus on

(41:43):
power exclusively. It's why I'm encouraged by what I'm hearing
by Governor Newsoon, California, Governor Pritsker, and Illinois, even Cocal
and New York. They're talking about seizing the initiative and
redrawing their congressional boundaries to maximize Democratic party advantage.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
We've got to fight fire with fire.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
I mean, we wish the refs were going to call
the fouls, that there were going to be penalties for
what they are doing right now, But the refts have
left the arena are corrupted all to fight this out
and to win.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
I love when they say the refs are corrupted. I
love when they point the finger to the judicial system
being in some way, shape or form broken or easily manipulated,
because it's exactly what Republicans say all the time and
how unfair things seem to go in that arena for conservatives.
A President Trump and the felony charges that were ridiculous

(42:35):
according to almost everybody, I keep mentioning this, and maybe
I shouldn't. Maybe this is the kind of like loss
you've got to get over in the world in which
we live. The president seems to have moved on from it.
But the thing that's so insane about people who call
them the felon now is how ridiculous going into that
case in New York, the changing from a misdemeanor charge

(42:57):
to a felony that entire extra size was most people
with any sort of value in the world of legal
opinion believed that that was going to be a stretch
that was going to be impossible to find a jury
to say, you know what, yeah, he's a felon, even
though we don't know how. Because that is what happened
in New York. They say that in order for it

(43:18):
to be a felony, you have to commit one crime
with the intent to commit a second crime, and in
that case, they didn't have to tell us what the
second crime was. The judge said, you know what, it's
not important if you think that this first crime was
somehow connected to a second crime, no matter what it was.
If in your brain you think something else was going on,
let's go ahead and call it a felony. The standard

(43:39):
was ridiculous to inflate those charges, and a jury in
Manhattan was what you needed to actually find a conviction
against Trump there. So it's ridiculous and this is absolutely
something that happens all the time. Another example of this,
and I know this is really delving into the conspiratorial
of a darned I can't help it, is the lack

(43:59):
of actually trying cases in public on any sort of
twenty twenty election fraud claim. I'm not trying to say
that essentially that election was fraudulent. However, I do think
it's important that those cases that were brought all throughout
the country saw the light of day in courtrooms, and
they never did. So many of those cases were thrown out.

(44:19):
Judges say, ah, there's no profear, and so then they
threw that whole thing out, and a lot of Republicans
at the time said, this is corruption, This is a
judicial system that's broken and unfair, and honestly for public good.
You should try these cases, even if you think there's
no reason that one side might win. You should put
all that information into the public so we can address it,

(44:42):
we can identify what we think is right and wrong.
They didn't do that, and they said that this is
the political system or the judicial system operating as intended.
And now they're doing it again, just the other way.
They're like, you know what, this system works whenever we
want it to however we want. And then when we
don't like the outcome, we're going to call it conspiracy,
your corruption, excuse me corruption. But when you don't like it,

(45:03):
that's you're a conspiracy theorist and amra and we have
to ignore you. You know what I love specifically about
this too. I love the references to Illinois or New
York because you have moments where mainstream media actually did
hold somebody accountable and did try to demonstrate that you know,
what they're saying and doing is just complete hot trash.

(45:24):
And the struggle for these politicians to answer these questions
was amazing. Let's play one of them. Let's play JB.
Pritzker being asked this question about his own map and
how ridiculous it already looks, and how it's going to
look even more ridiculous in the near future, and admit that,
you know what. Next question, essentially is what he.

Speaker 4 (45:43):
Says, I do want to look at the map of Illinois.
Let's take a look at this. Despite President Trump winning
forty four percent of the statewide vote in twenty twenty four,
Republicans hold only three of Illinois's seventeen districts. These districts
seem to be designed to maximize democratic advantage. What do
you say to those who argue that it's hypocritical for
you to criticize Texas for partisanship when your state also

(46:07):
drew mounts to boost your party's standing.

Speaker 5 (46:12):
Well, remember that what Texas is trying to do is
again violate the voting right tech Now, we didn't. We
held public hearings, legislative hearings.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
People attended them, they spoke.

Speaker 5 (46:24):
Out, there was a map that was put out, There
were actually changes.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
Made to the map, and a map was passed.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
I love that version of just hot trash answer. We
had hearings, people talked, We didn't listen to them because
we're the government. We don't have to care about anything
people say, especially in places like Illinois and New York.
We do whatever we want, but hey, we did the
Dog and Pony Show, so that means that we're allowed
to do whatever we want after that. And now that
Texas is trying to break some rule that Texas is

(46:54):
not actually breaking by the way, they're doing everything by
the book. Otherwise the Democrats wouldn't have to run and hid.
For them to actually try to prevent this from being
passed by upending the political system the way it's designed
a demonstrates who's trying to actually break the rules again.
Kathy Hockel, also in New York, asked the state same
question about the ridiculous maps that exist there, and again

(47:17):
the answer is just hot, hot garbage.

Speaker 6 (47:19):
Here's how National Reviews summarized it. They said, it was
only three years ago that New York's Democratic legislature drew
up the map so brazenly contemptuous of basic rules the
governor district's contiguousness, that the state's Democrat dominated Court of
Appeals through it out. The New York Times at the
time called those maps comically contorted. That's their quote. So
your state's highest court at the time, all the judges

(47:41):
appointed by democratic governors, they threw the maps out. So
fair to say democrats have done what they're now accusing
Republicans of doing.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
No, we followed the rules.

Speaker 7 (47:51):
We do it every ten years that you didn't follow
the rules.

Speaker 6 (47:55):
Well, we did follow the rules, so the court was wrong.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
We followed the rules.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
That's my favorite. The JB. Pritzker one is a terrible
answer because it's like we didn't listen to anyone. We'd
let you speak and pretend that we cared about you,
and then after you shut up, we did whatever we wanted.
But the one in New York is just even so
good because Kathy Hochel, who's caught red handed, is like,
we didn't do the thing you said, even if the
New York Times and others admitted it, which is hard
to get them to do. You have to be very

(48:22):
very far to the left to get anyone on the
left to admit they've gone too far. That's how ridiculously,
you know, extreme, so many in that party are. And
yet the things being referenced by Fox News, it wasn't
their opinion, it was the opinion of all these liberal
places that you guys were drunk the last time you
attempted to get even more power in New York the state,

(48:43):
And how do you actually go out there and think
that people should listen to you when you have that
much egg on your face and they don't care. The
other thing about Democrats is getting caught in the hypocrisy
out of them is like, ah, who cares about this?
They claim that Republicans don't like to follow the rules.
Democrats don't even give a crap whatsoever about being caught

(49:04):
red handed doing terrible things, because let's just move on
and try to blame that on conservatives somehow, that's the
mo We follow the rules. We did, even if they
said we didn't, even if the courts rejected everything we
were trying to do. Whoops a daisy or anyway, you
probably should just admit it at this point, like, you
know what, I'm a hypocrite. Let's move on because no
one cares about that, even though a lot of us

(49:25):
are supposed to and many of us do. All right,
quick break, This is Creig Collins filling in on the
Danish show.

Speaker 8 (49:30):
We got more on the way. We got headlines coming
up as we move our partners to help make the
program possible. It's the folks over at Angel Studios. You
can become a guild member over at Angel Studios today
and help make the movies that you want to watch,
movies that celebrate American exceptionalism and all kinds of stuff,
because right now we're not getting that from Hollywood. I mean,
it's very few and far between, folks. So if you're

(49:52):
looking for entertainment that's just wildly imaginative and meaningful, and
it's like, you don't have to send anybody out of
the room, or you don't have to cringe because you're
watching it in the multi generational in the same room.
You need to support the stuff that Angel Studios is doing.
So they have a new film that's out today in theaters,
it's everywhere. It's called Sketch, and it's a fantasy comedy,

(50:13):
fantasy film, and it follows this ten year old girl.
She lost her mom. She's struggling, she's drawing sketches in
her in her notebook. She drops her notebook in this
like magical pond, and then all of a sudden, everything
that she drew, all the monsters she created to deal
with her loss in this notebook, they all come to life.
They're made of chalk dust and crayon wax, and it's
just total chaos.

Speaker 7 (50:32):
And it's this.

Speaker 8 (50:34):
This film is a fun exploration of loss and reconciliation.
It's just great. It's great for the whole family. Ages
eight and up is what they recommend. And this is
one of the offerings from Angel Studios. When you become

Speaker 9 (51:02):
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
That's right, this is the Dana Show. My name is
Craig Collins, filling in. Dana is back tomorrow and it's
time for a quick five. D Lash Dana Lash Radio
on x on Twitter to stay connected. The AP Top
twenty five came out in the world of college football today.
Texas ranked number one, Penn State number two, Ohio State
number three. Some people at the U are going to

(51:28):
be very upset about that, etc. I think, But you know,
it's interesting to me Notre Dame ranked at number six,
not just because I'm a Notre Dame fan, which I am,
but because of something that Brett McMurphy put out on
Twitter on X that' said every year for the past
twenty two seasons, at least one preseason top ten team
in college football has ended the year outside of the

(51:50):
twenty five unranked entirely. Who will that team be this year? Unsurprising?
A lot of people think it might be Notre Dame.
Hopefully that's not true. Notre Dame did play in national
championship last year and for the first time in a
long time, didn't look like complete garbage. They didn't exactly
win that game, but at the at least the final
score was nowhere near as embarrassing as it's been in

(52:11):
the past for nd We will see, though, I am
interested in a lot of things going on in this
list and a lot of people's take on it. For
the most part, I don't hate it. Usually there's things
on this top twenty five when it comes out that
I think are kind of garbage. They're not you. Indiana
University ranked at twentieth surprise team last year. Can they
keep that going this year is a good question. I

(52:34):
do think it's hard for some non elite schools to
recruit the athletes throughout the entirety of the team that
you need to be good against the other elite teams
in college football. That might be the achilles heel of
people like IU, Indiana University and potentially also Notre Dame.
Notre Dame does not athlete for athlete matchup well against
some of the other elite schools in college football, and

(52:55):
they haven't for a long time. All Right, that's enough
college football talk. Other things out there. Who actually wouldn't
hate talking about that a little bit more if it
were me. But other things out there, as far as
quick five stuff that I think is kind of interesting.
I do like another story just because of how silly
it is that so many different people seem to think
that this sort of thing makes sense. But more people

(53:17):
were asked a question about the use of cell phones
and how horrible they are on our you know, society,
on our lives, and people seem to think that cell
phones buying large are good for us, even though a
recent study came out saying that you know, our brains
are ruined, rotted, and absolutely messed up by cell phone use,

(53:37):
especially young people. Uh, there's brand new science that demonstrates
how bad things are. And of course we're so addicted
to the phone, and none of us will admit that.
Other things out there that I thought were interesting new
noise cameras pit drivers of fast cars against their neighbor
This is a real thing in certain communities. The Wall
Street Journal talk about this. We're going to puss dition

(54:00):
a camera that also hears the rumble of a loud vehicle,
and if you're too loud, you could get a ticket
for that. You get some kind of warning and then
some sort of actual fine. The fines are fairly steep,
by the way, trying to quiet down neighborhoods that are
annoyed by ridiculous drivers of those vehicles. I think there's

(54:20):
good and bad with this idea. I do think that
it seems a little unfair, especially if say you're a
motorcycle rider, that your loud vehicle might get you in
trouble in a quieter community, because that loud vehicle also
protects you on the roadways. When you're on the highway
and people don't see you. The fact that motorcycles are
loud is good because you need to hear someone so
you don't kill them by changing lanes when they're right

(54:43):
next to you and you don't know it. But so
many times I think again that people are annoyed by
the stupidity of some of this stuff, at least with
the loud sports car and whatnot. That yeah, I don't know.
I do think the fine seems to be insane, so
that part might not be great, but we'll see more
and more. People are expecting these to pop up in
other communities, as being test driven some places, and who

(55:06):
knows not many of us have loud cars that we're
proud of. If your vehicle is loud, it might not
be something you're thrilled amount, and that also would not
be the best to get a fine for that. If
you're someone driving around with a muffler that fell off
your ninety six cheap Cherokee, which may or may not
have happened to me at one point in my life,
I wanted other quick one just as far as silly

(55:26):
stuff out there goes. Recession era recipes have flourished on TikTok,
with people saying they don't have enough money to buy
fancy stuff, so very very old recipes of almost non
existent food apparently are big deal on the internet. All right,
quick break a lot more. Craig CON's filling in on

The Danish Show podcast You're Fast, funny and informative news
companion for those always on the move. Subscribe on YouTube,
Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
filling in Thrilled to be with you. Dana is back tomorrow.
I do find some things that are being talked about
quite a bit by liberal media quite amusing. Oh, by
the way, Dlash Dana Lash Radio on x on Twitter
to stay connected. Axios has a report about how President
Trump suggested a MAGA stock listing for mortgage giants like

(57:22):
Fanny May and Freddie Mack and others. Apple doing very
well after popping up in the White House and admitting
or announcing that they're going to spend billions of dollars
to invest in the United States. It wouldn't be terrible
to have a MAGA stock listing, I think, and demonstrate
how successful many of these companies are for embracing the

(57:42):
policies of President Trump, which is helping a lot of
American companies do more. I believe that there's going to
be a lot of a good that comes from all this,
especially the terr fights, and I've thought that since about
the beginning of it, so I love this idea. Of course,
liberal media hates it. Also the announcement in Washington, DC,
the announcement to federalize the protection of the District of

(58:05):
Columbia to do more because of how bad things have
gotten there, and to do it through the office of
the President. I'll play some of this announcement. Of course,
liberal media hates this, even if they also refuse to
admit how bad things have gotten in a lot of
the cities in this country. And I'll actually dive into
that a little more too. The way in which so

(58:25):
many of these and it's something that I'm not thrilled at.
I'm a huge supporter of police in general, but when
you cook the books to hide the amount of violence
that actually exists in your city. You are doing something
that disadvantages the everyday American from understanding the totality of
the problem. And you're doing it because you think it's embarrassing,

(58:45):
or you're doing it because of the liberal pressure to
do it in a lot of these cities where the
people in charge want you how to lie. But so
many places like DC actually try to lower the numbers
a violent crime however they can to not let you
understand just how big of a problem this actually is.
But here's the President announcing that we're going to do
something about it, because darn it, it's the right thing

(59:06):
to do. And of course, again liberal media will hate this.

Speaker 10 (59:11):
This is Liberation Day in DC, and we're going.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
To take our capital back.

Speaker 10 (59:16):
We're taking it back under the authorities vested in me
as the President of the United States. I'm officially invoking
Section seventy forty of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act,
you know what that is, and placing.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
The I love that. By the way, it's like, you know,
anybody that doesn't know you show.

Speaker 10 (59:34):
DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, and you'll
be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that.
Very good people, but they're tough and they know what's happening.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Yeah, everything's terrible. A lot of different places I do
everything they can to hide and disguise just how big
of a problem we actually have the amount of liberal
leaning cities and there's a lot of them unfortunately in
our country, who force different people within, say the police
department and whatnot, to put out information where you take

(01:00:13):
out unsolved this over here or unsolved that over there,
you make a wild change to some stories to say
they're less violent when they obviously are, or just fully
bury some of this information makes you believe that even
if you can tell day in and day out that
violence in your city is through the roof, they try

(01:00:34):
to disguise that in any of the data that they're
showing you, and then they lean on that data when
they tell you, oh, there's no way that you need
to do this or that, whatever it is, to try
to make things better, because everything's better than you think.
Trust your eyes. Trust. The way you experience life again
and again is the information you're being told by a
lot of people who are willing to tell you the truth,

(01:00:56):
and all the people who are lying. But it's just
it's crazy to me that this becomes a discussion, because,
you know what, I really think about a lot of
these issues we talk about in today's society, whether it's
the violence in cities, whether it's you know, the economy,
the open border, whatever, More often than not, right now,
the I think democratic narrative is so far removed from

(01:01:21):
the day to day experience of Americans. That's truly the
reason they're losing support. That's truly the reason that that
party is in chaos. They don't have someone like a
Barack Obama who can convince you not to trust your eyes,
not to trust the experience that they're creating when you
put them in positions of power. There are some eloquent
people that seem to pull the wool over the eyes

(01:01:42):
of Democrats better than others. They don't have that, they
have the Kamala Harris's of the world now speaking these
loops that make no sense to anyone. And so now
you are trusting your experience more, at least that side
is the other side, the smarter side, as I would say,
has been trusting their experience from jump here. But the
Democrats are struggling to convince you that your life isn't

(01:02:05):
terrible when they're in charge because you experience it and
it is. And so this is another version of that.
And it will be interesting to see how effective President
Trump is in federalizing Washington, d C is, at least
the policing of it, because of the desire that more
cities will have out of fall suit. The everyday american

(01:02:25):
will want to see a safer you name the city
close to you after DC cleans up their act as
much as I hope they do through this move. And
of course liberal media will attack it. And that's the
other thing that's crazy to me whenever we have these discussions.
And I'll move on. I'm going to talk about Russian
Ukraine in a second, but I will say this, because

(01:02:46):
of how much certain media outlets and or politicians hate
President Trump, hate the conservative mindset on a lot of
these topics. They just like actively have Trump arrangement syndrome
to a degree that's insane. They cheer against the because
an announcement like today where Trump is saying that I
want to make sure that DC is safer, is good
for everyone. He actually went on to say in his

(01:03:09):
announcement that the reporters in the room, who are by
and large probably Democrats, will be protected more. They'll be
able to go home without the fear of any sort
of harm coming their way. And that's a good thing
for everyone. So we should be cheering this on. We
should be happy to see stuff like this occur. And
yet liberal media will want things to get worse, not better,
because it's the only way that they can actually back

(01:03:33):
up the opinion they have before any of the results
are available. They so often decide what they think without
waiting for results on purpose, and then try to manipulate
those results, much like a lot of these cities do
to make their narrative make sense. All right, One other
thing I do want to play this is the President
talking about his meeting with Vladimir Putin and what exactly

(01:03:53):
will happen, And I do love the way he refers
to the first couple minutes of the sit down and
whether or not he knows if it's valuable or not.

Speaker 15 (01:04:01):
Well, We're going to have a meeting with Vladimir Putin,
and at the end of that meeting, probably in the
first two minutes, I'll know exactly whether or not a
deal can be read.

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
To know that because that's what I do.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
You, Okay, I love every part of that. You know
what Trump has said a lot recently about Putin. He said,
we sit down, we talk. The talk is great, the
actions never fit. So I want to see the actions
actually fit the words that Putin will say. And I'm
sick of sitting down and chit chatting with him. For
Vladimir Putin to want to set up this meeting, it

(01:04:33):
may be a scenario where Putin hopes that his words
will be enough to change the actions of the United States.
But I think that Trump is sick of it. I
think he's at a point where and that's why that
mention is so good. Just the first two minutes, I'll
be able to decide whether or not I think we
even are are valuably spending our time together. And if

(01:04:53):
I don't think we're doing that, then it's probably going
to be a quick meeting. And I know that a
lot of media is attacking Trump for being willing to
sit down with Vladimir without Zelensky there, But to be honest,
the United States has never had an aligned belief in
what peace actually looks like between Russia and Ukraine. With
Ukraine and the other president, the other leaders of the

(01:05:16):
Liberal Party didn't want to admit that out loud, but
giving up some territory, I think Lindsay Graham said that
recently in an interview is likely to be the way
that this actually ends. Russia will be quote unquote rewarded
for starting that conflict because it's the only way to
get them to actually stop fighting. And a lot of

(01:05:36):
that land that could be seeded to Russia was a
contestant area. Anyway, People need to talk about that more.
They need to understand that better. The don Boss region
and whatnot was not exactly a region that Ukraine had
valuable control over to begin with. So giving it to Russia, yes,
is something that liberal media will cry about, but it's

(01:05:57):
the only way to actually end the conflict, and Ukraine
has never been okay with that. Ukraine has been of
the opinion that they should get Crimea back, which won't
happen again. And so I think Trump will know early
on because of his clear mindedness of what you know,
an end of this conflict looks like how willing the
United States is to say that this makes sense to us,

(01:06:17):
even if Ukraine is unwilling to say that, etc. Etc.
And then how the United States can pressure Ukraine to
actually accept a peace deal that gives land to Russia.
I don't want Russia rewarded. I want to make that
abundantly clear. I think Russia was the aggressor. I think
they were wrong. I think Putin is a horrible person
who makes people disappear on a way too frequent basis
as far as a world leader goes. At the same time,

(01:06:39):
I want peace, and I think that's what President Trump wants.
I think that's what a whole lot of people want
more than anything else. So it's just interesting to me
that this discussion can't be had a different way, because
it seems to be entirely and truthfully, you know, just
broken in how willing people are to say that this

(01:07:00):
is the kind of thing that I refuse to acknowledge
the way that you're going to say it or do it,
because I don't want to actually lose. I don't want
to actually have the conversation that is difficult for me
to have to admit inevitable defeat and say that we
don't deserve something here that we obviously do. All Right,
I'll take a break on that. There's a lot of

(01:07:20):
things to talk about. I just think it's so interesting
again that if Trump gets closer and closer to peace
between Russia and Ukraine, that they'll discredit him. That's truly.
If anything I just said in my rant, I didn't
get to the point as well as I meant to.
I will say it clearly that I think that inevitably
there will be a peace deal at some point that
will involve Russia taking land, and that everyone will crap

(01:07:43):
on Trump as if it's his fault that that occurs
and he's some friend of Russia, when that was obvious
at the beginning of this conflict, that that would be
the quickest way to have ended it, and why President
Trump has said many times that if he were in
office at the time, there wouldn't have even been a conflict,
because there would have been a way to find peace
quickly in giving up the one thing Ukraine doesn't want
to give up. But without our help, they can't defend themselves.

(01:08:04):
So we need to pressure them to do the thing
that actually gets them safety and peace quickly. All right,
A lot coming up in a bit. This is a
quick break. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.
More next relief Factor is.

Speaker 8 (01:08:16):
A great product. My husband uses it. He's got some
sports injuries and it helps when he works out. But
if you are wanting to manage everyday aches and pains
without having to rely on big pharma subscription or prescriptions
excuse me the same thing, then you need to check
out relief Factor because it's a daily drug free supplement
one percent designed to do that manage aches and pains naturally,

(01:08:37):
and it's loaded with really powerful ingredients like turmericle maga,
three fatty acids, res veratrol, all targeting inflammation and supporting
joint health, one hundred percent drug free, all developed to
support your body's natural healing process. So many people have
found relief from relief Factor, and I think the way
that it battles inflammation is something that you could probably

(01:08:57):
consider using beyond just managing your everyday aches and pains,
because inflammation is just one of the number one things
that people struggle with and it's behind so many other ailments.
Don't stay stuck living with pain. Try Relief Factors three
week quick start for just nineteen ninety five. It's less
than a dollar a day, and you're supporting a utter
and owned company. See the difference for yourself. Visit relief
factor dot com or called one hundred four relief. That's

(01:09:19):
one in one hundred and number four relief.

Speaker 9 (01:09:22):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
It's time for Florida Man. That's right, it's time for
Florida Man. On the Danish show My name is Craig Collins,
filling in d Lash Dana Lash radio and X on
Twitter to stay connected to her radio. Craig, Z if
you want to be one of like three hundred people
that follow me a little bit less of a social
media presence than she has, but I do like the

(01:09:49):
fact that people follow me after I pop in on
this show. Anyway. Two quick Florida stories that I thought
were real interesting. First, a Florida man was caught on
a b gamme charges because he was married to three
different women in different counties. Henry Betsy Junior is the
guy's name. Apparently like no regard for his own personal

(01:10:11):
day to day safety, because having three wives and three
different counties had to be a trouble, had to be
a problem, like a challenging thing, and he didn't seem
to care at all about that. It's also illegal, so
that part's not so great. ABC Action News, I imagine
they're on your side. Were the first to report about this. Michelle, Brandy,
and Tania discovered that they were all married to the

(01:10:31):
same dude. And obviously this demonstrates some flaws with the
marriaging marriage licensing system in Florida. But I can never
understand this. As a guy who's happily married to one woman,
I couldn't envision giving another person the authority to think
that they were married to me, you know, much less
anything that would come with any sort of mistress situation.

(01:10:53):
But this guy had three fully vested wives in his life,
all thought they were sharing his life with them. Darn it.
A whole lot of this is just sad. I feel
bad for the women. I want to make sure I
say that upfront, but honestly, the challenge of living that
life and he's been doing that since twenty twenty and
it took five years for three women to catch him

(01:11:15):
like that sounds insane. This guy probably is uniquely good
at figuring out how to compartmentalize and deal with things,
because I think my wife would figure out if I had, say,
a pet she didn't know about a much less a
human being in my life that she was unaware of.
And actually I love that. My wife has joked with
me for years that if I were to cheat on her,

(01:11:36):
she'd know, like a sixth sense, like something would go
off in her brain, be like Craig is cheating on
me now, and then she would immediately find me and
it would be over. That is the threat I get
that I somewhat believe, and I think a lot of
women might have that sixth sense as well. So it's
just crazy to think that this guy successfully kept three
marriages going for as long as he did. Honestly, some

(01:11:56):
sort of gold medal deserves to be considered again with
the judgement and the understanding that he's a horrible person
who doesn't care about the emotions of people in his life.
But there's some level of awe that I have for
that story. All right, another one out there, probably too
much awe. I'm probably in trouble al ready for this.
A litterbug in Tallahassee was arrested accused of shamelessly illegally

(01:12:17):
dumping just ridiculous amounts of trash. What I think is
interesting about stories like this, first and foremost is it
makes me mad. If you're driving and someone just like
chuck something out of window and it's a little bit
of trash. But if you watch somebody just blatantly disregard
the society we live in and the people around them
and just like chuck their burger King or something immediately

(01:12:40):
out of the window. No fault of burger King, by
the way, I don't think they're a sponsor of the show,
but it's not their problem if someone is littering with
their stuff. Nonetheless, what I think is so amazing about
this is this guy went way above and beyond that,
just absolutely dumping stuff, mostly in Georgia. So the Florida
man decided to go to a different place and drop

(01:13:00):
all of his trash, just dump it on the side
of the road, dump it in all kinds of places
it shouldn't be, and eventually you're arrested for that. July twelve,
twenty twenty five, he was hired to remove junk from
a home in Thomas County in Florida. Instead of deposing
disposing of the debris, he took a shortcut, illegally dumping
the garbage along Walden Road on his way back to Florida.

(01:13:21):
So the dude just like just threw everything out of
the car window, and there was just tons and tons
of trash all the way down the street. And I
don't know why he thought this would be fine. And again,
this is the kind of thing that would sort of
make me want to ram a car in front of
me if I saw him doing it. I wouldn't actually
do it. I just want to make sure that's out

(01:13:42):
there too, so no one calls the authorities and tries
to get me in trouble for doing a pit maneuver
on a vehicle that's just dumping trash. But I would
be tempted, because again, one little piece of trash makes
me mad. I can't imagine this version, but it does
also seem like a uniquely Florida man solution to a problem.
The guy agrees to pick up all the trash, drives
to Georgia to do it. He's got all the trash

(01:14:02):
in his vehicle and he's like, man, what do I
do now? I had no plan after this point. I
just wanted to take the money and I was going
to take the garbage. And now all of a sudden,
I don't know the end of this path. So let
me just go ahead and throw everything out of the
car slowly and that'll be fine. This will be great.
All right, we'll take a break. A lot coming up
in a little bit. Craig Collins filling in on the
Dana Show. This is the Danish Show. My name is

(01:14:25):
Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A
bunch of stuff to talk about. D lash A, Dana
lash Radio on x on Twitter are great ways to
stay connected to all things her, what she's up to,
what she's doing. There's several different conversations out there that
deserve to be had in the light of President Trump
saying he will federalize protection of Washington, d C. He

(01:14:47):
will use the National Guard, he will use the powers
of the office of the President to clean up all
the horrible crime that exists there. One of those conversations
is the amount of illegal drugs that came into our
country under Biden and how that has created some of
this horrible version of society we have in a lot
of these big cities, which you know if you live there.

(01:15:09):
The other thing that's crazy is mainstream media liberals will
try to tell you it's not as bad as you think,
because the data that they've manipulated. Says it's better than
it actually is. But anyone with eyes and the ability
to experience things will know they're being lied to again.
But here's a little bit of Fox News talking about
why the President is even doing this and why he's

(01:15:31):
also going to be targeting foreign drug cartels in some
of the ways to try to clean up the country,
not just the capital of our wonderful, wonderful United States
of America. Here we go.

Speaker 16 (01:15:42):
The President has already classified several cartels as terrorist organizations,
and now he's reportedly giving our military the green light
to engage those cartels at the border. Mexican President Clardia
Scheinbaum responded to these reports, strussing that no US military
presence will be tolerated in her country. Quote, we cooperate,

(01:16:03):
we collaborate, but there is not going to be an invasion.
The United States is not going to come to Mexico
with the military. Now, looking back at the previous administration
under Biden, over two hundred and sixty thousand Americans died
of fentanyl poisoning. That comes out to thirteen hundred per week,
and the cartel is only profited from it. In twenty

(01:16:25):
twenty two alone, they made a staggering thirteen billion dollars
from smuggling both drugs and humans into the United States.

Speaker 1 (01:16:34):
Here's the thing. I'm married to someone who was actually
born and raised in Mexico, now a US citizen, So
I have conversations from time to time to a degree
that I wouldn't normally have had if that life change
hadn't happened for me about the people in charge in Mexico.
And a lot of people believe that the current president
of Mexico, a woman who is closely tyed to Amlo,

(01:16:55):
the guy who was president just before her, they may
or may not have a bunch of significant connections to
the drug cartels. That's a belief I can't substantiate. I'm
not saying that this is something that's been proven to
be true. It's simply a thing that a lot of
people in that country who don't like the current leadership believe.
People who like the current leadership don't care about that part.

(01:17:16):
But under ALMLO and now the current president, one of
the craziest things that happened is essentially backing off in
any sort of fight against the cartels. And they say
that that creates peace, but it really seems to create
the ability for a lot of those cartels to operate
unchecked throughout Mexico. And so the United States does eventually
need to find a way to prevent this, and finding

(01:17:38):
an avenue towards standing tougher against the cartels that exists
other places would be praised by the people of Mexico.
It might not be praised by the politicians, But if
you actually could remove the narcos from the street throughout
that country somehow, some way, and I don't think sending
a whole bunch of US military is actually the option

(01:18:00):
for that, but cutting off the financial supply, the benefit
to being a neighbor to our south that can just
send us an unlimited amount of horrible drugs that come
from China and other places. Finding a way to prevent
that might be the actual start to winning any sort
of drug fight against Mexico or anyone else the cartels

(01:18:21):
that exist there. And so I just think it's so
interesting that this is going to be shaped the way
it is by the politicians in charge that may or
may not again have deep connections to the wildly financially successful.
However horrible it is to say that cartels that exist
in Mexico. But I do believe that if you start
that process, the United States military will be necessary to

(01:18:44):
actually get any sort of success, and I do think
the people of Mexico would love it. My wife comes
from a very little town. I know that you don't
care about this. I'm just using it as an example.
Trust me, I have a point. The little town is
about an hour outside of a big I'm not going
to get more specific than that, but anyway, the little
town over the last few years has been overrun by

(01:19:07):
cartels that are essentially in charge. Sometimes I get messages
from my wife saying that her family has texted her
letting her know that everyone was told to be inside
past a certain time, not by police that are almost
non existent in her little town, but by the cartel.
They said there's going to be a war, and a
few different times there's been shooting on the streets where
two different warring factions of cartel's essentially had, you know,

(01:19:32):
a military fight, and people were left dead on the street.
And then that people are removed and society continues living.
That's life in a lot of towns of Mexico, as
the cartel have been allowed to operate with less and
less interference by the Mexican government, something that the Mexican
government has never really done a good job at in general.
And so the United States actually saying that they're too

(01:19:53):
close to us for us to allow this to keep
happening the way it does is a tremendous win for
the other country, not for us. And so again, what
I think is just amazing about this is much like
the things that have won over a lot of the
United States. The reason that Trump can win the popular

(01:20:14):
vote is that the life experience proves to you the
value of the way of thinking that the other politicians
are saying is terrible. And so, whether it's cleaning up DC,
whatever it is that Trump does the end of the day,
the thing that I think conservatives hope wins them these
arguments is that your life actually gets better. And if

(01:20:35):
Mexicans started to realize that the influence of the cartel
went away and granted, that would be a long road
and not exactly a road realistically you're talking about based
on Trump saying that he would categorize, you know, drug
dealers Mexican ones as terrorists, which they are. They're causing
that much harm in our country, but doing that gets

(01:20:57):
you closer and closer to improving the lives of people
in that other country and making them fans of yours
and making them believe that more influence. I've had this
conversation with my wife several times where she wishes, after
meeting military men and women in our country, that they
could be allowed to go clean up Mexico because she
thinks they could do it, and the people who exist

(01:21:18):
in her country right now have no interest in actually
doing that, And so it's just it's fascinating to me
that that kind of discussion actually would have that much
power and significance there, regardless of what the leaders of
Mexico say. All Right, another story I wanted to touch on.
I just find it funny and I love that a
lot of people are upset about this. President Trump did

(01:21:38):
move a portrait of Barack Obama into a quote hidden stairwell.
Not that it's actually hidden, but it's not something that
you're going to see easily on a tour of the
White House. Now, he didn't just move Obama, by the way,
he moved a lot of other presidents too. Both Bushes
had their portraits moved and I love the fact that
mainstream media is obsessed about because almost no one gives

(01:22:03):
even a little bit of a crap. They don't care.
They're not going to experience this are They're not going
to notice it. I doubt many people who take a
tour of the White House say to themselves walking into
the door, can't wait to see that Obama portrait, can't
wait to see that, especially now well Trump is in office.
I imagine that people who gravitate towards seeing the White

(01:22:24):
House either don't have much of a political opinion on
either side or are very happy with the current person
in charge. Those are the two reasons that you choose
to visit now. I don't think a whole lot of
people who are going that actually would get access to
that place, or people who overwhelmingly hate the current president,
because I wouldn't want them in that building. But nonetheless,
what I think is most important about it is how

(01:22:47):
this is a non story that's been turned into a
media story because people want to shape something about Trump
and Obama as a negative. Although, to be honest, after
the latest information that came out about how influential Barack
Obama specifically was in the Russia, Russia Russia hoax. I
imagine things are not great between the former president and

(01:23:08):
the current one, no matter how much video from months
ago seem to demonstrate that they could be on friendly terms,
sitting and talking to each other, because honestly, at some
point you would hope that people like Obama or Clinton
are thrown in jail for the things that they've done
to try to circumvent the authority of the president and

(01:23:29):
the will of the people. When the Russia Russia Russia
hoax or now and actually you know it here I'll
touch on this real quick, and I don't mean to rant.
I'm thrilled to be on the Danas show. I love
filling in for her, and occasionally the temptation is there
to just dive deeper into a topic that I have
a lot of opinions on, because darn at this platform
so large, I get a shot at this. I do

(01:23:52):
believe that there are two things that are not mutually
exclusive that can both be true about the Epstein stuff.
I believe that the Democrats had so much time and
power with the Epstein's story, and they could have done
anything they wanted with it. They could have released all
the information that you couldn't possibly have any more dirt
on Trump that's hidden because Democrats would have put it

(01:24:13):
out there. A lot of people believe that. That's a
very common belief, I think within conservative media. I also
believe that they could have manipulated whatever they left to
exist to essentially try to make it look worse for
Trump and Conservatives than it actually was. That's a little
less common of a belief, but I think a lot
of people agree that there's a possibility of that. The
other thing that I think is true, though, and this

(01:24:34):
is where I land I think in the minority of
people on this topic, is that it might just all
be a giant hoax, that the remnants of the Epstein
story surrounding details, not the actual core of that information.
That you have a horrible pedophile that must have operated
a ring of other individuals to do horrible stuff, that

(01:24:57):
part is unique to this story. But the the idea
that Democrats are now using it as the most valuable
shot that they take at Trump to try to undercut
his power and authority. It sounds very similar to Russia.
It sounds very similar to all these other hoaxes that
they use to try to prevent the president in his
first year in office and having the type of influence

(01:25:18):
and popularity that he should have, and so it seems
like Democrats are leaning into this. Their plan with Trump
all along has always been to undercut his value, to
attack him, to convince people that he's bad somehow, so
that his influence is weakened once he actually wins the office,
that they do everything they can to prevent him from winning.

(01:25:39):
So I can believe that I think there might be
more information I want about the Epstein story, will also
believing that by and large, what you have currently is
more Russia hoax than the reality of the story that
existed a few years ago, when Democrats had every ability
to put whatever they wanted out in the public space
and chose not to do it, and now pretend as
though they never had that author already to begin with.

(01:26:01):
It's also very similar to how Harris tried to run
her presidential campaign pretending that she wasn't the current vice
president in charge of things with Biden's brain being broken,
as she said what she would do if she won
the office of president, which made no sense. But it's
the same thing. Democrats ignore the moments when they're in
power because the things that they actually want to see happen.

(01:26:23):
They don't create those things, they don't make those things happen.
They just want the controversy without the results, and they
seem to be doing that now. All right, quick break,
A lot coming up. Sorry for the rant. Thrilled to
be in for Dana though, Craig Collins filling in on
the Dana Show.

Speaker 9 (01:26:38):
It's time for Dana's quick five.

Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
That's right, this is the Dana Show. My name is
Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with you. Time
for a rapid fire quick five. I love two pieces
of audio out there, so we'll play both. Bes First,
apparently women are ordering food with men's names because they
think they get more food. They give a woman's name
when ordering something. They think that the portion is smaller.

(01:27:04):
But if you throw a man's name out. I don't
know if this is actually true. I doubt this is true,
but they believe this is true, and darn it, the
Internet is claiming this. So here, let's go ahead and
play on that.

Speaker 3 (01:27:13):
I got the exact same order from Chipotle.

Speaker 12 (01:27:15):
With a girly name my name and with a man's name.
I changed my customer account name and everything. So let's
see who they gave more food to. Ladies first, we're
gonna start with mine. This is Emily Joy. It's not
a bad portion. And this one, I use the name
Andrew feel a little heavy, but let's see it.

Speaker 9 (01:27:33):
Looks a lot more full.

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
This makes me really mad.

Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
It's a one off. Come on people. This is one
time where she claims that this happened. It doesn't have
to be an everyday thing. And I know for a fact,
especially with places like Chipotle where they're just shoveling stuff
into a burrito or into the bowl, that it can
be all over the place as far as the portion goes. Actually,
the saddest thing to do when you're doing one of
those walkthrough lines with someone who's making food in front

(01:27:57):
of you, you know, a sub shop, subway, whatever it
might be, or a place like Chipotle, is watching when
someone does a little scoop when they just get a
few of the chicken pieces in or something, and they're like,
ah no, that wasn't enough, And then you're tempted to
immediately say, can I get a second helping? Even though
I got to pay for that because you did a
smaller portion than somebody else. There's no rules here, people.

(01:28:19):
I've had large helpings and small helpings, and I'm a
dude who uses a man's name. Another piece of audio
that I like out there for another quick five topic,
the top five hours of the day where I'm not
doing anything. A dude went on social media and admitted
that five of his eight hour day at work he's
actually doing absolutely nothing. And he broke down how he

(01:28:41):
does very little on the clock. And I imagine he's
fired by a now, or at least will be soon.
Here we go.

Speaker 17 (01:28:46):
Number five, we have the hour before lunch. I'm hungry.
All I'm thinking about is I want to get the
hell out of here. Number four the hour directly after
a meeting. Paying attention during the meeting has absolutely cooked me.
Number three the hour off the lunch. All I can
think about now is how badly I want to have
a nap. Number two the first hour of the day,
quick socialize with the colleagues. Immediately looking to get a coffee.

(01:29:07):
I might turn my computer on and see if I
got an edge of emails. Number one the last hour
of the day. I busted my ass all day. Now
it's time for me to start wrapping things up and
look for the eggsit door.

Speaker 1 (01:29:17):
It doesn't sound like you did that, by the way, Bud.
If you're saying you did nothing the first hour of
the day, the first hour before lunch, the first hour
after lunch, and the last hour of the day, that's
four of the hours, and then one hour interspersed in
there whenever you had a meeting. That means you did
not bust anything for five of the eight hour day,
and in three hours you did some semblance of work.
But this guy seemed to brag about this on the internet,

(01:29:37):
and again I assume it's going to get him fired
and also tough to find his next job because you're
only pay him for three hours of work. That's all
he's doing. Quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling

Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A whole bunch
of stuff to talk about out there in the world.
Dana is back tomorrow d Lash Dana Lash Radio on
X on Twitter, a couple ways to stay connected to her.
President Trump has removed an IRS chief. I find this hilarious.
I know this broke I think toward the tail end
of last week, even though I guess it's a bigger

(01:30:22):
talking point today than it was on Friday. But I
definitely think this is the right decision too. And they
actually and I still have this audio, so I might
as well play it from Friday. But they talked about
how many things these individuals would get wrong when Biden
was in office, and the way in which they play
this weird version of math to make job reports look

(01:30:45):
better or worse, to make economy look better or worse,
all kinds of things. And so Trump has fired somebody
that's only been on the job a couple months. The
other thing I love about this, and I'm just being
as honest as I can be, is when first a
bunch of appointments happened, When a bunch of the and honestly,
there's a whole lot that are still stuck that Trump
is nominated for cabinet positions and all kinds of things.

(01:31:06):
The Democrats are just trying to ignore a way which
is sad and that unfortunately is working better than it should.
But nonetheless, when all those cabinet positions first started coming out,
the nominations were being debated, and mainstream media had said
how terrible this person would be because they have no
idea what they're doing. The thing I found most amusing
about that is it's Trump. He's literally the guy who

(01:31:28):
was famous from The Apprentice. He can fire people if
people do a bad job, even people that he thinks
are good, He'll can them. His first time in office.
I think the one thing that Trump didn't do as
well as he should have done was once you appointed people,
if you didn't like them, fire him. I think there
were some positions that wound up going away that Trump
didn't want it to go, where he would have said, well,

(01:31:50):
this person was recommended to me, and I gave them
an authority position, and I regret it. I think Trump
two point zero this time in office has prevented this.
But here this is Steven Moore with a graph talking
to News last week about how many things of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics was getting wrong and other departments
are getting wrong. So Trump is firing people, and so
that part seems good to me.

Speaker 18 (01:32:12):
Here we go that he did the right thing in
calling for a new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
because this shows that over the last two years of
the Biden administration, the BLS overestimated job creation by one
point five million jobs. That's a gigantic era.

Speaker 3 (01:32:29):
And I don't know if she's might not have been
an era. That's the bad part. It was an era,
it would be one thing. I don't think it's an era.
I think they did it purposely. You know.

Speaker 1 (01:32:37):
I love that he says stuff like that too. I
know that's from last week. I know that's older audio,
and I will play Trump talking about Vladimir Putin today
in just a second because I think that it's interesting too.
But talk about a man who's just simply not afraid
to say things out loud. And I'm not that you
don't already know this about President Trump, but I love
that version of you know what, I don't think that's

(01:32:58):
an error. I think they did that on purpose. I
believe that they're going to kind of do stuff like
that again and again, and I'll be able to understand
when and if that's the kind of thing that I
think has no value to us whatsoever, and I'll fire
more people. All right, let's play this audio. This is
from today. Someone in the press Corps asked a question
to President Trump about his meeting with Latimir Putin, and

(01:33:19):
Trump said, It'll only take me a couple of minutes
to be able to decide whether or not this is
valuable for me, for the United States, for anyone.

Speaker 15 (01:33:27):
Well, we're going to have a meeting with Ladimir Putin,
and at the end of that meeting, probably in the
first two minutes, I'll know exactly whether or not a
deal can be a way.

Speaker 3 (01:33:34):
You know that, because that's what I do. I make deals.

Speaker 1 (01:33:39):
Okay, I love that. That's all the answer he needs
to give.

Speaker 3 (01:33:42):
Let do it again, because that's what I do.

Speaker 1 (01:33:45):
I make deal. Here's the thing what Trump is trying
to say, or what he would like to say, but
you know, isn't saying it quite as differently as we'd
say it if we were saying a bar sitting next
to each other. Is that in the first couple of minutes,
I'll be able to detect any of the bleep that
might be slung by Putin. This time. Trump has said
several times that he likes the conversations he has with

(01:34:06):
Vladimir Putin. He believes that real action will be taking
that matches the words, but then the action never matches
the words. Trump has been willing to say out loud,
even though people claim that he's somehow, you know, friendlier
with Putin than anyone else's, that he doesn't like the
fact that he gets off the phone with Putin and
then bombs start flying. And so I think that that

(01:34:27):
will come up fairly quickly in any sort of conversation
between the two world leaders. Now, the other thing, I
will say, I feel like I'm a broken record on
saying this, and I don't even know what level of
insight this is anymore in this conversation. But there's so
many people on the left who refuse the truth of
this statement. Ukraine will have to give up territory to
Russia to end this thing. In contested areas like the

(01:34:49):
Donbas region, these are things that Russia wanted from jump. Yes,
they are essentially being rewarded for starting a war against
Ukraine attacking them, which a whole a lot of people
don't want to see happen. Ukraine has fought valiantly, courageously,
and incredibly. Many people thought that that fight would be
over quickly instead of a year's long war that it

(01:35:10):
actually has been. And the Ukrainian people have every reason
to feel as though the last thing they should do
is give in anything. But we can't let this war
just continue, and Ukraine is not going to defeat Russia.
That's not actually going to occur. So in order for
Putin actually put the weapons down for whatever amount of
time he's willing to do it, you'll have to give

(01:35:31):
him something. And I think the United States knows that.
I think Trump knows that. I think the only one
who's unwilling to admit that, even if they know it too,
are the leaders like Zelensky and Ukraine. And so I
imagine the first couple minutes of this meeting will be
what do you want? How much do you want?

Speaker 10 (01:35:47):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:35:47):
I assume at some point Trump will also say no,
because Putin will tell me he wants everything. And then eventually,
what will you settle for? Where is the deal? And
in the first few minutes, Trump will know if it's
a serious version or a fake version of saying I
want a deal, and that peace actually does have to exist,
and then you have to be the strong person to
turn to a Ukraine that has defended itself courageously for

(01:36:10):
years and say you have to give in something to
make this end, which is something they won't want to
do at all, and something that Biden was incapable of doing,
not just because his brain was broken, but he's just
simply not strong enough as a person to do something
like that. This is the same person who made tons
of jokes about how his wife was actually in charge
at home, and I'm pretty sure his wife might have

(01:36:30):
actually been in charge the entire time that he was
in the White House of the actual country itself, along
with the auto bet all right, I want to shift
gears to something else. I think this is interesting. Fighting
climate change is just as dangerous as el Kaeda or
the Taliban. This is according to an actual military individual
who said this into a microphone. And this is insane.

(01:36:53):
This is beyond stupid and one hundred percent pushed by
politics and politicians and not reality. And honestly, I'm such
a defender of so many of our military that it's
so hard when you hear someone with a connection or
literal time served in our military, this person, Lieutenant Colonel
William Atkins saying something this ridiculous that would make most

(01:37:16):
military people mad if they hurt it. But I want
to play this because Tom Elliott of Grabian put it
out on social media and it's absolutely the kind of
thing you should be paying attention to. This was said
into a microphone and c span earlier today, and it's
just ridiculous.

Speaker 19 (01:37:31):
And most of my military service was conducting humanitarian aid
missions following natural disasters that were made worse by climate change.
So imagine, if you will having to carry one hundred
thousand bodybags in your aircraft due to flooding and mudslides

(01:37:54):
around the globe, as I had to imagine losing dear
friends when their aircraft crashed while fighting wildfires in California
and another one in Australia, as I have. Imagine retiring
from the military after twenty two years, thinking that you're

(01:38:15):
safe and moving home to Tampa, Florida, and immediately being
hit with back to back hurricanes, record storm surge.

Speaker 1 (01:38:24):
Right here, I'll stop it here. I think you get
the point. And I wanted to be respectful since he's
a military guy, and I tremendously respect our military, but
what's said is that he's been given a bad guy.
I think that very often a military have an understanding
that there's a good guy and a bad guy, and
for whatever reason, climate change has been the bad guy
that Lieutenant Colonel William Atkins has been convinced exists to

(01:38:48):
a degree that I'm not saying it doesn't, you know,
but it doesn't create all the weather events that they
claim it does. But so now he wants to fight
climate change because he's seen horrible things. And I feel
tremendously bad for any first responders who show up after
horrific things happen in our society. But it's ridiculous to
say that fighting climate change is as dangerous as fighting

(01:39:09):
al Qaeda, the Taliban, anyone else. And it demonstrates a
lack of experience in that world from him saying that
his military career was by and large him doing this
for the Air Force, you know, responding to climate and
weather events. Yes it's tragic. Yes there's a horrific you know,
loss of life that occurs in these situations. But it's

(01:39:30):
uniquely different when I talk to men and women who
served our country fighting in active war, people that I
know that have fought in everything from Vietnam to more
recent conflicts, and telling you what it's like to lose
someone a friend in that way, and how you know
difficult it is to move on and keep fighting the
actual enemy, the enemy you can see, the tangible enemy

(01:39:51):
you can touch, and then by and large, and I
know this is true of a lot of military people.
I guess maybe not true of this lieutenant colonel who's
sounding more and more like a politician than a member
of our military, which I think is what he is,
but essentially saying that the government is not the solution
to those problems. Yes, they are, the military men and
women who fight and protect our freedom a solution to

(01:40:13):
all kinds of problems, but the overarching government above us
isn't going to do the good work we want them
to do if we ask them to. And so believing
that the fix to climate change is government is one
of the dumbest things I've ever heard anyone say, because
they're willfully ignoring every version of how that winds up
not being true. But this guy is going to go viral.

(01:40:34):
He's going to be put all over the place by
liberal media as a military man saying that you know,
climate change is as bad as al Qaeda, And I
assume that most military who hear it are going to
scoff and laugh and be somewhat upset or mad listening
to this individual say this stuff and also say to
themselves something that me is, as someone who never served
our country, feels awful saying. But it sounds like his

(01:40:56):
unique military experience is jading his position more than it
deserves to be. If he had fought in the conflicts
that his fellow servicemen and women have fought in that
he's comparing them to, I doubt very much he'd compare
anything out of those kind of fights, because truthfully, there's
nothing like it fighting a global warming climate change, any

(01:41:16):
of that stuff, not even remotely close I imagine out
of this fight. And I don't know for sure. I
just know from what I've been told by men and
women who fight the real fight, how horrific that is.
So again, no matter what you think of him saying
his bad experience and body bags and all the things
he's dealt with, it's just utterly different to be responding
to a natural tragedy where there seems like there was

(01:41:39):
no way to prevent it, and absolutely the government has
no interest in actually doing that. They just want more
of your money to embezzle and steal for other stuff
than a fight where you're fighting against a real enemy
who's firing bullets in your direction and who's taken the
life of your Friend's surreal to hear anyone with a
military connection say that, So it actually makes me bad

(01:41:59):
enough that I'm I'm also going to take a break,
and I have no connection to it, like friends and
family that I know that have served, and also a
lot of the people I've talked to over the years
being in the role in media that I've been in,
and I imagine it's making a lot of people mad,
but it is. It's something the Left will prop up,
so it'll be out there quick break a lot more.

This is the Dana Show, a d Lash a Dana
Lash Radio on x on Twitter. My name is Creig
Collins filling in. Dana is back tomorrow. I am tempted
to talk a little bit more college football as we're
getting closer and closer to this actually being a thing
that happens again, which is awesome. Were just a couple
weeks away, and there's some amazing matchups in Week one
of the college football season that I feel like the

(01:42:55):
AP poll that came out today was kind of thinking
about when they decided to put out theirs. So there's
some ways in which the AP poll differs from the
Coach's poll. One of those is that Ohio State is
ranked third instead of second. Texas is ranked one in
both polls, which makes sense to me. Texas is a
great team in Arch. Manning is going to be amazing,

(01:43:15):
or at least people assume he's going to be amazing
because he's a Manning. Nonetheless, and I know this might
be a deeper dive into football than you were expecting,
but I can't help it. I think that the disrespect
for Ohio State is amazing. They're the defending national champion.
A Notre Dame is ranked sixth. By the way, the
team that Ohio State beat in that national title game
ranked fifth. I think in the coaches poll preseason, but

(01:43:37):
a lot of the truth is and I think actually
Brett McMurphy and others put this pretty great, that the
preseason poll is just a throwing stuff against the wall.
You don't really know. You got to see the teams play,
You got to understand over the course of the season,
who's actually good, what valuable pieces were used to replace
a valuable pieces that left. And I understand Ohio State

(01:43:59):
has some defensive question marks with the amount of their
university that went off to play in the NFL. So
I get it. And again I'm trying to be a
tree branch's version of discussing this because I know this
isn't a sports show, but I can't help. But wonder
if you rank Ohio State lower because you hope more
people watch the week one matchup where they're playing Texas,

(01:44:21):
because after one week of the season, you will know
who the definitive number one team in the country is
and it's whoever wins that game. And if arch Manning
plays uniquely well against Ohio State, maybe some will say
that the defense isn't what it was the year before,
again because of having to replace personnel. But they have athletes.
They have athletes all across the football field, so it'll
be interesting to see. And then also I think that

(01:44:44):
Miami University being ranked as high as they were the
you being ranked at ten playing Notre Dame in Week one,
Notre Dame is ranked at number six. Again, I know
that there's a lot of optimism in Miami right now
after you get a really really good quarterback out of
trans for and become a leader for your team. Carson
Beck is the starting quarterback for the Miami Hurricanes. But

(01:45:06):
as I say that, I wonder if there's artificially inflating
one or both of those rankings. Although Notre Dame again
is ranked well in a lot of preseason polls because
you want more people to watch Week one. The college
football season usually has a lot of joke games to begin,
and then as you get deeper into the season, you
see real games against you know, real opponents, and you

(01:45:27):
actually get to understand how good a lot of these
teams are. But that is not the case. In just
a couple saturdays, we will see some amazing, amazing football,
I assume, and then also have a lot of things
to say about it. Will arch Manning just walk his
way to a Heisman Trophy. I wonder, and then actually
also the question will become will he stay in school?
I know a lot of people wonder about that, but

(01:45:48):
I know that the discussion for many people, and I
know that the last thing I'll say about sports, and
I think we're basically out of time, and I wait
until the end of the show. A lot of people
believe that the Manning's value education. Arch will stay in
school for longer than anyone thinks he should, especially if
he plays incredibly well in his first season as a starter.
We will see, and he was great whenever he would

(01:46:08):
pop into games, So you wonder again if it's just
the beginning of a season of obsessing about just how
good Arch Manning is and how potentially how great his
NFL career potentially will be. But we'll see. And certainly
a lot of people will say Notre Dame is overrated,
especially if they lose in Week one. But again, they're
playing a uniquely good Miami team with a uniquely good

(01:46:31):
quarterback that did a lot of great things just last
year with Georgia. So I we'll say a lot to
talk about a lot of things out there, but part
of me wonders if the preseason poll, since they know
that there's going to be teams that will drop entirely
out of it, that are in the top ten right
now by the end of the season, is just to
get more eyeballs watching sports that first week, and he
didn't have to do that, by the way I was

(01:46:52):
watching anyway. That's it. That's the show. Sports rant done.
Craig Collins filling in, See you later, Dana back tomorrow
on The Dana Show.
