Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Dana Schell. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff to talk about. Yes, a huge decision will be
made somewhat soon by the Supreme Court, not exactly the
next few days. But if we learned anything from just yesterday,
it's that the Supreme Court seems to believe the argument
that President Trump does not have the amount of control

(00:21):
over tariffs that he has successfully used to.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Create all these great deals.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
When you look at rare minerals, rare earth minerals something
that China has a unique sort of monopoly on, and
they get to force their will and all parts of
the rest of the world even force a lot of
agenda things onto the United States. Part of the reason
that they can do that is a belief that if
they pulled their rare earth minerals away from us, they're

(00:46):
things that help with a lot of the technology, the
batteries that we need to power our technology, that we
would struggle a bit. And so Trump, through tariffs, caused
a bunch of deals to occur with other countries, mostly
because of the threat of trade getting worse, not better,
if we didn't get access to that type of stuff
from places that are not, in fact China.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
That is one of several things that.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Have gone very well recently because of tariffs and how
Trump has used them. Also, just creating products in the
United States is a uniquely good thing for you, for me,
for our society, for the potential for us to have
jobs as AI starts to slowly whittle away at that. Yes,
I know that factory jobs would be hit by AI
as much as anything else. But the more products we

(01:29):
make here, the more people you have to staff here
compared to somewhere else in the world. Even if those
numbers aren't what you'd want them to be, you just
want to be creating opportunities for jobs here in the country.
That's another thing the tariffs were doing. I thought it
was interesting that Howard Lutnick and many others were saying
how well the economy was going, and that build in

(01:50):
America was something that was incredibly successful, even if people
that are now attacking it and trying to remove tariffs.
As a part of how Trump gets this done is
you know the agenda of the left right now, but
here this is part of that audio of saying that, hey,
things in the economy are going pretty well, and it's
because we're trying to create more jobs here at home

(02:11):
and make more things in the United States.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I mean, which way is the stock market going up?

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Up? Up?

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Which way is the economy going three point eight last quarter?
Estimates of four four percent this quarter? I mean the
economy is on fire because of Donald Trump's economy is
one that says tariffs come on build in America. You know,
the President's been saying north of fifteen trillion dollars coming
to build in America. That's going to grow our economy

(02:37):
more than four It could go our economy more than
five percent. I mean, these are numbers no one's ever
thought or possible for America, and it's driven by Donald
Trump's trade and tariff agenda.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yes, build here first is a good thing.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
And there's no other way to force companies or force
anyone to do it than to make it incredibly impossible
or incredibly unlikely for you to preferduct made somewhere else
to a product made here, mostly because of the cost
of it. Now, yes, I know a lot of people say,
and they were making this argument to the Supreme Court
that tariffs are really just a tax.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
On the American people.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
There is a way that you avoid that tax, though,
don't buy stuff. I'm sorry, I don't even say that
as ridiculously as it was just said. Now, I did
buy things made here. Maybe don't buy things that are
overly expensive. Eventually the companies would relent and lower the prices,
because if they're not selling stuff at all, they can't
keep selling it at ridiculously sky high prices to no one.

(03:33):
And that's the part of the consumer actually has the
power that they don't like to talk about. The Democrats
don't like to talk about when they say that tariffs
are just attacks on the American people only if we
keep buying things at prices we think are bad. Speaker
Johnson also talked about the disparity in trade deficits that
have been going on for decades in this country and

(03:54):
other places in the world, and how tariffs have been
a solution to that problem. I won the Supreme Court
might actually take away in the near future again, based
on some of the preliminary hearings and discussions just the
other day, I'm.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
Cheering for the President that the executive will win on this.
Now I say that as a jealous guardian of the
legislative branch of government Article one. There's a reason we're
listed first in the constitution. This is supposed to be
the place of greatest importance. We're the ones that are
supposed to make the law and the policy. But we
do give the executive traditionally a lot of leeway, a
lot of discretion over international trade. And we had a

(04:29):
serious problem in this country for decades, as you all know,
and you've discussed many times, we had a big trade disparity.
The President stepped in. I think he's used that authority appropriately.
He's obviously created a lot of leverage for our trade
strategy internationally, and it shielded great results. And so I'm
watching that carefully because I'm the guardian of the Article
one branch of government. But I think he's well within

(04:50):
the lines, and I hope that a majority of the
justices agree, because.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Here's something I'll say. Washington doesn't often as unapologetically as
they will on this issue show you how little they
care about you. They definitely show you, they show you
all the time, but not this unapologetically is how I
want to describe it. Because the tariffs have been used
to benefit us, there's something that is going well. It
is not the thing that is causing prices to skyrocket,

(05:16):
because prices aren't skyrocketing the way that Democrats told you
they would, and they're upset about that too. By the way,
they're upset that the more traditional way to prevent Trump's
agenda from succeeding failed, which is just lying to you
and telling you that it's not going well when it is.
And so now they have to actually go ahead and
try to circumvent that authority in order to take away

(05:36):
this power, which still hurts us. It's and honestly, anyone
out there who is on the side of tariffs are
going to cause terrible things to happen in the economy.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
They have to admit that it hasn't occurred yet.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Most of those people on television are like, you know what,
it could still happen, but by and large, it hasn't
actually been a thing that's harmed us the way that
we thought it would, and we refuse to actually give
credit where credit is due. This is just such an
odd approach because it's not odd. Actually I should take
that back. It's exactly what Washington always does. But it's
just so out there and open for all to see

(06:09):
if you want to pay attention. And I feel like
the American people do pay attention now more than ever.
I say that, well, I also understand that Zorhan Mumdani
I just got elected to be the mayor in New York,
which seems that a lot of people are definitely not
paying attention or don't know their history of why socialism
and communism and Marxism is bad, why it doesn't end well.

(06:30):
And actually I've said this before, I'll say it again.
If you're talking to a young person and I'm a millennial,
I actually just recently turned forty, so I guess I'm
an old millennial now or was probably always an old millennial.
I can accept that. But I know people in my
life and I used to live in Chicago. I'm from
New York, New Jersey area, so I have a lot
of people on my social media page. I'm not even

(06:52):
sure that I should call them friends, but acquaintances, people
I knew when I was younger that definitely have pretty
hardcore socialists kind of views in our society now, and
all you have to tell that person to do the
most simplistic example of, hey, let's do a little bit
of research is Google if communism has ever worked, and
Google will even tell you it hasn't, that it's always failed.

(07:14):
That bad things always inevitably occur when people promise that
the government will handle everything and they'll give you a
fair share of stuff that they won't let other people
get based on merit, based on actually working hard to
get it. They'll just split it all up and they
promise they won't take away too much for themselves.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
It always ends horribly.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
But anyway, speaker Johnson talked a little bit about this
and about the Marxist anti Israel approach that Zorhan Mumdani
has to a whole lot of things, and how if
more Democrats think this is a winning message in the
United States. It's terrifying, But honestly, a part of it,
a part of this message resonates with people that aren't
born here, people that aren't from the United States, people

(07:54):
that want to see what happens in say, you know,
Muslim run countries where they're killing to be things that
we see here. Those things are scary. We don't want
to see that happen in this country. And yet, darn it,
people from those other places. I would like to upend
American society even more. And so those are individuals who
show up and vote, even if I assume a whole
lot of them are not legally voting. And I don't

(08:16):
know how many are legally and how many illegally voting
in these elections, but darn it, I'm imagining that there's
a whole lot of illegal voting in a place like
New York and places like it, you know, deeply democratic places,
and they just pretend it's all fine, it's all legal.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
How dare you ask these questions? But here's what the
Speaker of the House.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
Said, Zoran Mndami is without a doubt, the biggest win
for socialism in the history of the country, and it
is the biggest loss for the American people. He is
truly a committed Marxist. And the results of that race
tell you everything you need to know about where the
Democrats and their party are headed. From the backbench to
their leadership. Democrats have fallen in line behind the socialist candidates.

(08:58):
Hakeem Jeffries, as you know, is the highest ranking Democrat
in the House. He gave his full blessing to Mandami
and his socialist agenda. Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking Democrat
in the Senate and the highest ranking Jewish leader in
America flirted with endorsing Mandami all the way to the
bitter end, never mind the fact that Zoron has embraced

(09:19):
anti Semitic rhetoric and promised to arrest the Prime Minister
of Israel if he visits New York City again.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
It is said that you hear people in the background
even laughing at that, because that is absolutely something that
Norhan said, and it's something that's ridiculous and insane. But
it's yet another demonstration of how you're trying to erode
something that is a pretty traditional American stance Israel is
a friend of ours, into something that's very different. The
London mayor also praised the decision in New York Mayor Khan,

(09:48):
who by the way, is a socialist himself, the Marxist himself,
and someone who's been in power since twenty sixteen. Not
exactly praise you want when London is locking people up
for their social media posts, which is one of the
hallmarks of the you know, communist version of Hey, the
government is always right, and how dare you say anything
bad about it? A version of a thing. But you

(10:10):
hear this person saying, Hey, Dora and I are so similar.
London and New York are so similar, and I'd love
to see things like what we're doing here happen over there.
And of course most Americans would disagree with this, even
if New York City seems to be all for but
here we go.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
Well, they're very parallels that New York and London have,
and they are very parallels Sah and I have, like
grostlate the city of New York. They've chosen and they
basically contested an election and hope over fair unity over division.
And I'm already experiencing the ripples of hope and happiness
coming from his victory.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
I doubt he's already experiencing the ripples of hope and
happiness coming from the victory because that it doesn't actually last.
You don't actually gain the things that the government tells
you they're going to gain. That's a lesson that, sadly
a lot of young voters are going to have to learn,
is that promises made by the government are not promises
kept ever. And usually the person, as Reagan or anyone

(11:06):
else said that you least want showing up at your
door in a time of crisis. Is someone from the
government saying they're there to help because it's the last
thing they're actually going to do. But there are a
lot of people who live in New York City that
feel like life is unfair. I will be honest about that. I'm,
as I said a little bit ago, a forty year
old millennial, and I know that a lot of people

(11:26):
in my generation or Gen Z don't find the jobs
that they thought they would get when they went to college.
They wind up with debt, they wind up with things
that make life harder. You know, houses are more difficult
to purchase in today's society than they were years ago.
All these reasons that you say to yourself, you know,
society has failed me. The people in charge have failed me,

(11:47):
and so the last thing you want to do is
double down on giving more authority to the powers that
be that have not done good things for you. New
York City has been run by Democrats for quite some time,
and it has not gone well. And so the worst
thing you do is vote in a more radical version
of a Democrat or a socialist or a Marxist and
then hope for better things.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
It's insanity.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
It's begging for a different result while doing something that's
eerily similar, if not even crazier than the version of
what you were doing before. The definition of insanity, of course,
as told to us by Einstein and others, you don't
repeat the same mistakes over and over again, and you
don't make them deeply worse. By the way, there is
another big story out there a Nancy Pelosi. She's going away.

(12:33):
She's finally going to retire. She has had a bunch
of mental gaffes recently that made you think maybe she's
not mentally capable of being in the position of power
that she was in. But a Fox News reached out
to the President of the United States and Peter Doucey
got to report on exactly how Trump reacted to Nancy retiring.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
And this is pretty awesome audio. So I will play
this quickly.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
Yes, and I just chatted with President Trump about this
breaking news that Nancy Pelosi will be leaving Washington. He
tells me the following, and this is a quote. The
retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America.
She was evil, corrupt, and only focused on bad things
for our country. She was rapidly losing control of her
party that was never coming back. I'm very honored she

(13:18):
impeached me twice and failed miserably twice. Nancy Pelosi is
a highly overrated politician.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
And so tell us what you really think, President Trump.
I mean, that's fantastic and absolutely true. And I love
the fact that he says that he's proud of her
impeaching him twice and then failing beyond that, because it
is just political weaponizing, craziness, absurdity, evil, corrupt, all those
other words. And finally it's going away, at least in
the case of Pelosi, not in the case of the

(13:47):
Democratic Party. She's actually being pushed out by people that
are more radical than she is. Of good luck with
whatever's coming next from there. All right, well take a break.
A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the

Speaker 1 (15:39):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Greg Collins,
stuff to talk about. Starbucks has a brand new Barista
cup that's out there.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
I said that correctly.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
It is a bear that you put cold liquid into
it's glass.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's got a little like top hat on it.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
It's just in time for the holidays, and it's selling
out everywhere. Apparently people are very excited about the Barrista cup,
mostly on the internet.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
I think on TikTok. I think it's a status thing.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I think someone who has one today will feel like
they have some sort of status symbol that a month
from now they can easily acquire, but it won't be
worth it anymore.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Who cares. By the way, these.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Cups are about thirty bucks in the store, a little
more with taxes, but they're going for hundreds of dollars online,
and I feel bad for the people that.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Are actually purchasing these things.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Hey, they can do whatever they want with their money,
but the amount of value you're putting in something this
dumb is just completely ridiculous to me. My favorite part
of this story, though, is that there are now other
companies trying to go viral with their glass bear wear.
I'm not even sure that that's the right thing to say,
but darling it is. You can go to the dollar
Store and pick up a glass bear shaped thing and

(16:50):
a lot of other places to get your knockoff version
of the Starbucks cup, and you only have to pay
a couple bucks for those I do love that that
apparently this is all over the place plastic glass however
you want it done. People have made things that you
can drink out of that look like a bear before.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
This is not brand new, it is. I hate admitting
this part.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
It is a cute thing, like when it looks like
it's filled with coffee and stuff. It looks like the
kind of thing that would go viral on the internet
in general. But I'm not elbowing people at a Starbucks
in order to get one of these things for thirty dollars.
I'm good as far as this is concerned other things
out there. I thought this was interesting. The FAA has
reduced air traffic by ten percent across forty high volume

(17:32):
markets during a government shutdown.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
I live in Houston.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
The Bush International Airport went viral over the last few
days because a bunch of TSA people walked off the
job and things got crazy bad there for a while.
There was like three four hour waits to even get
from wherever you are to the position where you needed
to know actually talk to somebody and then get on

(17:57):
a plane. Eventually, like it got real bad. That part
is deaf true, And I got sent by the radio
station I work for here in Texas KSV Radio to
go ahead and handle those issues, which I loved that
I was sent out there to report on that and
do some digital things because yeah, it was bad, and
it was bad for a while. I then know that
by the next day some people were showing up five, six,

(18:18):
seven hours early and getting through the line in thirty
minutes because the airport is unpredictable and how bad it gets.
But talk about something that might make the American people
actually become furious with a government shutdown I think you
know the amount of challenges that you face at the
airport quickly convinces you that things are bad and you
need them to get fixed asap, as soon as possible.

(18:41):
One other thing out there that I just thought was interesting,
weightlifting cardio for blood sugar control thing went viral.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
This is a very odd thing.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Weightlifters are using different sort of music and different sort
of you know, technology things to help them lift weights. Apparently,
mice that lift weights showed better blood sugar control than
mice that ran on wheels, despite not building the extra
muscle or improving their cardiovascular systems. So this has encouraged

(19:13):
people to be unique in their approach to how they weightlift.
But it essentially is telling you how good, how healthy
a weightlifting is compared to any other exercise. And that
part I'm fine with. But doing weird stuff to get there,
I'm not sure I need that quick break a lot more.
Craig Collin's filling in on the Dana Show.

Speaker 8 (19:30):
I absolutely have zero issues in using a firearm or
lethal force to defend myself or somebody else, my loved ones.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
I don't care.

Speaker 8 (19:37):
I absolutely will because it's my Second Amendment right. I
also know that a lot of times you have private
property restrictions, meannunicipal restrictions that make that impossible. You can't
carry like college kids, for instance. You could be twenty
years old and live in a different town and you
have to, like maybe your classes end and it's dark outside,
you have to walk back defenseless to your vehicle, to

(19:59):
your hertman or wherever. Something like a burn a gun
is ideal for the situations that I'm talking about, because
you do not want to be left entirely defenseless. And
a lot of these places already have restrictions on knives
and all of that, So why not get something that has,
you know, the ability to give you, you know, a chance
to be safe and defend yourself. It shoots burnagun shoots

(20:21):
chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to
fifty feet away. They have the SD, the Burna SD,
which was their most popular model. I think it's being
overtaken by their new one, the Compact Launcher. That's the
cl It's basically the size of a phone. There's no recoil,
easy target acquisition, and if you compare this to stun
guns or anything like that, They have maybe one or

(20:43):
two one or two rounds with that. This is fifteen
rounds in a cartridge with the cl so you are able.
You have a lot of chances there, right, And it
doesn't care about gun free zone signs. It does not
care about there's no background check, there's no fee, there's
no tax doing, there's no any of that, and it
ships right to your door. So this gives you an

(21:04):
ability to at least have some means of defense, and
you really should check it out. I'll never understand why
people don't diversify their weapons or ay. You carry different calibers,
you carry blades. Why not have something for when you
are restricted beyond your constitutional rights. Take advantage of Berna's

This is the Dana Show.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in d Lash Dana
Lash Radio on x on Twitter, A great ways to
stay connected to her and all the cool things that
her team does in digital. I definitely highly recommend anything
and everything that is Dana lash out there in the
world of the Internet, because there's a lot of great stuff.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Or Radio Craig z.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
If you want to follow someone who does very little
with their social media page, that would be this guy.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
That would be me.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
I thought that the in in Minneapolis for a mayor
who fended off in ilhan Omar Indoor socialist it was
actually a bigger deal than a lot of media thought
it was. Jacob Prye did defeat a crazy person to
win his third term as Minneapolis as mayor, and so well,
all the headlines have been about how bad Republicans did

(22:20):
and how well Democrats did in an election that obviously in
an election year that obviously wouldn't have attracted a large
turnout of conservatives. We're overwhelmingly happy with the decision making
of Trump and his administration right now, and we might
think that that then accidentally bleeds into a local level
for us, and we don't vote the correct people into
local positions of power. We see this time and again always.

(22:44):
Also there is news that the Democrats might finally relent
and now open the government back up. They might do
this mostly because there's really no win and hasn't been
any win, and shutting it down as long as they've
shut it down for other than trying to convince the
American people that there was it was Republican's fault and
not theirs, which is crazy.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
And I actually have some audio of.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Barack Obama, and I know it went viral, and I'm
not exactly thrilled always to play a bunch of Obama audio,
but I'll be honest, like, this is pretty great, And
this is the kind of thing you can play for
your Democratic friend to tell them why the opposition party,
the party that's not in power, fighting the way that
they fight, the way that Democrats are fighting right now

(23:26):
to shut things down until they get what they want
is actually really bad.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
It's actually a really bad approach.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
So obviously it's the kind of thing that you probably
shouldn't do a lot of, and yet, darn it, they're
doing a whole lot of it. I'll play that audio
in just a second, though, because there is something else
that I want to talk about. The GOP has filed
a lawsuit against Prop fifty, which passed in California. Voters
decided that California can even further jerry Mander, a state
that's already ridiculously jerry mandered, ridiculously.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
The map is insanely drawn to begin with.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
I don't think the law suit will succeed, but I
do think it's interesting to try to challenge it that way.
And Bill Malugin specifically of Fox went on social media
to explain how bad Prop fifty is and the place
he chose to best represent the problem is Huntingdon Beach
in California, which is overwhelmingly read. They have Republicans on

(24:20):
their city council, they have Republicans in any position of power,
and they are a easily read part of a very
blue ocean out there in California, and they will be representative.
They will be represented, excuse me, by one of the
most hardcore left leaning Democrats that get sent to Washington,
d c. By the state of California, Robert Garcia, and

(24:42):
they're very upset about that. Local News even interviewed the
mayor of the town and he said that he absolutely
does not trust the person who's drank as much of
the poison from the Democratic Party as this person has
seemed to drink. But it is just interesting to think
that these deeply read spots can just be over whelmed
by insanely blue representation by how crazy gerrymandered these states are.

(25:05):
And I live in Texas. I live in a place
where I know a vast majority of the state. Even
though I live in Houston, that's one of a few
blue dots in a very red state, I know a
vast majority of the state does believe in the things
that will wind up being represented by the people we
send to d C. Even after some of the changes
to some of these districts that a whole lot of

(25:26):
people will still buy and large be ideologically aligned with
our representation. I know that California will have a very
different version of that, and they already have a ridiculously
aggressively a gerrymandered thing. To be honest, if Democrats didn't
jerrymander the way that they've done for a long time
in New York, California, Illinois, and a couple other places

(25:48):
like that, they would never have a majority of representation
in DC. Because so much of our country is actually red.
And the biggest reason that you're trying to flood the
country with people who are here illegally and then give
them some sort of magic version of status is because
you want those red areas to change to blue, because
the other way that Democrats think they can retain power

(26:10):
long term is to change the fabric of our country
entirely and to bring in people who don't value any
of the things that are traditional American values. And yes,
we absolutely have a traditional culture and a belief in
certain things that isn't specific to any race. It's not
just a white person thing. But it's a thing about
certain freedoms and beliefs that by and large a lot

(26:32):
of these socialist democrats don't believe in, and they want
to go away, and they want very bad things to
happen in response to that. But anyway, I think it's
really interesting to see that the representation of certain very
deeply red spots within a blue state will be so
overwhelmingly one sided in how far to the left the
actual person in Congress is that represents Huntington Beach and

(26:55):
how wrong that is in our society. And you'll see
more of that, but Bill Malugen does a great job
pointing that out, and Republicans will challenge it in courts.
I wish, by the way, whenever Democrats are the ones
being challenged in court, everyone thinks it's horrible and terrible
whenever Republicans are being challenged in court, it's due process.
It's everything you're supposed to have in this society, according

(27:16):
to mainstream media. All right, let's talk a little bit
more though about the shutdown, something I haven't really discussed
very much today because I still don't think a lot
of people care. I think more people care now than
did before. I think when you get to the point
where it's the longest shut down in the history of
our country, that most of us have now noticed some
impact on our day to day life. But granted, the

(27:39):
government gets so much of our money that you would
think that them being shut down this long would have
a much more detrimental impact in the day to day
life of most Americans than it's actually having. Yes, if
you depend on snap benefits now, you're really struggling, and
you weren't a little while ago. Although Snap benefits are
full of fraud, as has been outed in several places,

(27:59):
are ready.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
But I digress.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
I still think it's interesting, and by and large, it's
been my stance all along that the government shutting down
not impacting our lives more is proof that we need
to fire a whole lot of the bureaucrats who get
paid tax dollars that work in Washington, d C. They
need to not have jobs anymore. And I wish that
was an end product of the shutdown. But first, let's
play audio of Senator Rosin telling us that this is

(28:24):
a Republican shutdown, which it's not, telling us why she
thinks it's a Republican shutdown, and just going crazy. And
then we'll parallel that with audio of Barack Obama telling
you why shutting down the government is a terrible thing
to do. And of course he was saying this back
when he was the president, and back when Republicans were
the minority party and they were fighting by shutting down

(28:45):
the government. Democrats hated this just a simple amount of
years ago, and now they think it's the best possible
way to fight what they claim is, you know, tyranny,
or what they claim is is Nazism and whatnot, even
though it's any but and this is a really crazy
version of just not caring about the people you claim
to care about the most. But here first is Senator

(29:07):
Rozen telling us that this is absolutely a Republican shutdown.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
One more time.

Speaker 10 (29:10):
It isn't saying to you as the Republican shutdown. My friend,
you are in control of the White House. You are
in control of the House, and you are in control.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Of the Senate.

Speaker 10 (29:20):
If you went home to a food bank instead of
going tomorrow Lago had a gold plated dinner starving, you might.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
See and hear, by the way, the amount of Democrats
who are out of touch with the everyday American, which
is what her gold plated dinner comment is supposed to
be about.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
But the amount of Democrats who.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Now and by the way, throughout all of the shutdown,
are still getting their paychecks. The elite politicians of society
couldn't be further removed from understanding what it's like to
be an everyday person who actually struggles with financial problems
compared to the Nancy Pelosis of the world, who have
become incredibly rich because of their quote service to our country.

(29:59):
Even though thankfully Ancy Pelosi is finally going away, or
at least hopefully is going away in the near future,
even though I think her party is just getting more
insanely to the left as she finally walks out the door, Nonetheless,
that whole message, no, it doesn't just take sixty votes.
No Democrats are doing everything they can do to shut
down the country and wield any power they have because

(30:20):
they don't like the decisions being made by people in
positions of power that were duly voted into those positions,
like President Trump. This is how Obama responded when he
thought that his agenda was being thwarted by a minority
party of Republicans by them shutting down the government and
risking harming the economy. He chastised them and told them

(30:41):
how irresponsible this was weird that Obama's not out there
saying the same thing now as Democrats are doing this.
The party that's in power being the Republican Party. As
you just heard, we have control of the House, the Senate, everything,
So how dare we not do this thing that they're
doing and we're not in charge of Here we go.

Speaker 11 (30:58):
Pubkans do not like the law, they can go through
the regular channels and processes to try to change it.
That's why we have elections, so they can go through
the normal processes and procedures of a democracy. But you
do not threaten the full faith and credit of the
United States of America shutting down the government just because
you don't like a law that was passed I have

(31:20):
to say, no Congress before this one has ever ever
in history been irresponsible enough well to threaten uneconomic shut down,
to suggest America not pay its bills, just to try
to blackmail a president into giving them some concessions.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
I will not negotiate on anything.

Speaker 11 (31:44):
When it comes to the full faith and credit of
the United States of America.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Weird, so weird that he was unwilling to negotiate and
people were so happy about it. And you know, a
bunch of places like CNN had their daily ticker that
said how long the government had been shut down and
how bad things we're going for people, and you know
how it was only going to get worse and worse
if we don't do something to stop these evil Republicans
and the horrible decisions that they're making. Excuse me, the

(32:09):
horrible decisions. My body just rejected. How horrible this narrative
is now that that just happened. But anyway, I do,
I'm going to catch my breath for a second. I
do think it's ridiculous. That's so very often the argument
on the left right now is that Democrats are fighting
the good fight and Republicans are the people that are
causing horrible things to happen when so very recently, just

(32:30):
a short time ago, the narrative was utterly reversed, because
all they care about is convincing you that they're the
good guys, not actually doing good guy things. They are
good guys in name only, and it's pretty horrible to
see it happen on a daily basis, and to not
be paying just a little bit of attention, as I
think a lot of Democrats sadly aren't to realize just
how broken the messages compared to the reality of the

(32:52):
world in which we live. But darn it one more time.
For those in the back, Democrats are the ones that
shut down the government. Democrats are the ones that are
likely to finally reopen the government in the near future
by agreeing to something that Republicans try to get passed
a tot of times, and Democrats kept saying no to
which is just a simple funding package of the government,
which is always the way out of these sort of things,

(33:12):
and for some reason hasn't worked this time because Democrats
didn't want it to. All right, well, take a break,
we'll come back and do a little bit more this.

Speaker 8 (33:21):
It is the folks over at Superbats. You guys are
very familiar with the Superbeats folks and all of their
products that they have, the Human and their Superbats products.
What makes their story different is where it began. Human
was founded out of the Ute Health Science Center, built
on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide,

(33:43):
and unlike other supplement brands, Human is science born, not
just science esh. Their products work and you can feel
them working. UT athletes have used superbats for over a decade,
calling it their cheat code for recovery and endurance, and
you can use it for the same reasons to support
healthy blood pressure and circulation. Today, more than one hundred

(34:04):
and sixty college and pro teams use Human products, and
your favorite team probably does as well. And if you've
seen the Human logo on the Longhorns field this football season,
that's more than a sponsorship. It's a signal from Human
and UT together leading the future of cardiovascular health for
athletes and for everyone. You can pick up super Beats

(34:26):
at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health today.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
That's right, it's time for a quick five on the
Dana Show. A d Lash Dana Lash Radio on x
on Twitter a great ways to stay connected to her
at Radio craigsy if you want to see the occasional
Yankee tweet that I put out there in the world
first black Rocks. Larry Fink is saying that we need
to start having digital idea. This is to perform a

(35:02):
quote social credit score. All this is becoming more and
more important in our society according to scary, horrible people
with terrible agenda, like the people like klau Schwab who
show up at the World Economic Forum and.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Say truly dark and ridiculous things.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
They truly seem like bond villains like honestly, there's nothing
else to say about it, but the social credit score
is a terrible decision, a bad decision, and one that
people are pushing more and more for to the wield
even more control over your everyday life. That's a real
story out there. There's a story about a driver and
this is not a fun story. This is actually quite
an awful story to talk about. Who plowed into a

(35:41):
crowd at a French holiday island. Two people were critically
injured after the man hit pedestrians and.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Cyclists in his vehicle.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
The crazy thing about this, though, and the reason that
the story is landing in a quick five for me,
is the part that media didn't tell you. Media didn't
tell you that the driver was shouting a la akbar
as they plowed into a crowd of innocent people in
France and tried to hurt individuals and did successfully hurt
a few people with their car. For some reason, many

(36:11):
of the headlines left out the shouting a la akbar
because right now society is terrified of telling you the truth.
For saying things honestly and saying things directly that might
seem as though you can be called an ist, a racist,
a sexist, and anything is by just saying something out
loud that is indeed real facts. Another story, and I

(36:31):
can't get over how interesting I think this one. In
this one is people are saying that there's an alien
spaceship out there in the world. It is a comet
that has been doing some weird stuff. This comet now
most recently seems to have sped up and is heading
toward Earth faster than it normally should be. It seems
to have made movements it shouldn't make. A lot of

(36:52):
people are saying they think it's aliens. The Atlas three
comet is what it's actually called, if you want to
look it up. But it's changed course on stuff that
we're scratching our heads to understand, and who knows, and
the very near future, maybe aliens will land on our
planet via this Atlas three thing. And I'll tell you
something that I've been saying for years now. I am

(37:12):
so happy if aliens show up in our country or
in our world that President Trump is the guy in
charge right now, because that press conference is so much
better than anyone else being in a position of power
when aliens show, whether their friend or foe, I do
not care. President Trump being in charge of our message
to them is wonderful and I'm happy about it and

(37:33):
thrilled by it and can't wait to see it happen.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
If it does, in fact happen.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
I'm not telling you I actually think this thing is aliens,
but it's interesting the amount of people who do believe
it to be aliens, and the fact that you know,
very near future will know for sure. As the comedy
whizzes by us, hopefully doesn't cause any kind of damage
end or lands on our planet and a bunch of
people pop out of it. And by the way, I
want the over under on what those people look like.

(37:59):
A lot of people seem to think that aliens now
would be like scary giant things that easily take us
in a fight. It wasn't all that long ago we
thought they might be little green men that maybe we
could easily take in a fight. I just want to
know what people think, because if what emerges from the
alien spacecraft that may or may not land on our
planet is something that I can fight off like the
size of a first grader, I'm nowhere near as worried

(38:20):
as if this thing is, like, you know, eleven feet tall.
I feel like there's a very big difference in how
much I'll care and how amused I'll be in the
whole story. All right, And one last quick five thing
that I thought was interesting. A British yoga teacher was arrested.
She hosted a unique class. This was behind a restaurant.
I have to be careful about how I talk about

(38:41):
this on the radio. It was an adult class for
tantric behavior is what I'll call this. I know I
can say one of these words on the radio, I'm
still not going to do it. But it was only
about ten bucks eleven dollars to attend her class. Her
yoga classes cost way more money than this does. Her

(39:02):
name is Maria, she's forty, and she sparked controversy when
she taught a weekly class during a full moon that
was very adult in nature, and full moon was not
a euphemism, that was.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Actually what was going on as this class was being taught.
But I love every part of this story going viral.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
I think it's out of the UK because of anything
it's told you just how cheap this class is, and
I think that this teacher might wind up getting flooded
with a bunch more students than she can handle for
eleven dollars per person to learn some Hantrick exercises, which
is again what I'm calling them. The yoga class should
not be so much more expensive than this thing should be.
But then again, I think a lot of people would say,

(39:40):
you also shouldn't teach this class at all. All right,

Speaker 1 (40:58):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
stuff out there to talk about at d Lash at
Dana Lash Radio on x on Twitter, A great ways
to stay connected to her and her team and all
this cool stuff they do in the world of digital
at radio, Craigs, if you want to follow a guy

I don't like it, So follow me if you want.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
You don't have to all.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Let's immediately get into some of the biggest things going
on right now. The Supreme Court's decision on President Trump
and his ability to impose tariffs is going to have
a seismic impact on our economy, and the biggest reason
why it's going to actually hit us is because Trump's
tariffs have done a great job of forcing certain deals.
We've had uniquely successful relationships that are even better now

(41:49):
when it mostly comes to you know, rare earth minerals
and things that wind up being exponentially important in all
of the technology we have in our society. And also
we're changing the reliance on China. China had sort of
monopoly on a lot of that stuff, but the United
States getting these minerals from other places, several other places,
mostly because of the threat of tariffs and a deteriorated

(42:12):
trade relationship. All of those things have helped position us
to be in a great place, and honestly, even more
so than anything else, as far as this conversation goes,
bringing manufacturing back to the United States is incredibly important.
We have an AI revolution that's taking over positions, positions
way beyond say, you know, factory warehouse stuff, and so

(42:34):
any creation of product, any new jobs, however many that
can be created by that would be good for us.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
More happening in.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
The United States made by the United States than is
sold in the United States to US without a tariff
on it. All this is good. The Supreme Court may
blow this all up. So first I want to play
Speaker Johnson and him discussing the serious problem that has
existed for decades here in the United States, and that
would be trade disparity, and how Trump has found a

(43:03):
great way as a business guy to find a solution
to that problem, and now it might all blow up
and smoke.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Here we go.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
I'm cheering for the President that the executive will win
on this now. I say that as a jealous guardian
of the legislative branch of government Article one. There's a
reason we're listed first in the Constitution. This is supposed
to be the place of greatest importance. We're the ones
that are supposed to make the law and the policy.
But we do give the executive traditionally a lot of leeway,
a lot of discretion over international trade. And we had

(43:33):
a serious problem in this country for decades, as you
all know, and you've discussed many times, we had a
big trade disparity. The President stepped in. I think he's
used that authority appropriately. He's obviously created a lot of
leverage for our trade strategy internationally, and it shielded great results.
And so I'm watching that carefully because I'm the guardian
of the Article one branch of government. But I think

(43:53):
he's well within the lines. And I hope that a
majority of the justices agree, because if they reverse all this,
it would really be chaos in the markets and in
the economy. It'd be a real problem for the country.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Yeah, it would change a huge part of what presidents
frump agenda is and one of the promises he made
to the American people. And by the way, the first
day of hearings, the takeaway is that a whole lot
of the Supreme Court seems very very much not on
the side of the president, very skeptical of his ability
to have power through a vague federal law. What I

(44:25):
do think is interesting about this, and this is the
last thing I'll say on this topic. I promise we'll
move on to other stuff. But this is a big
deal and the decision here will be gigantic. As I
said before, the law itself is vague. Most people will
admit that. And when that happens, airing on the side
of you have more power, not less is traditionally what
the courts will do. They'll either try to interpret something

(44:48):
very narrowly, very specifically if the language allows for it,
and if it doesn't, which most people again would admit
exists here in this case, and essentially to Layman's term, this,
the president is given authority to do things like tariffs
and situations where we think it makes sense from a
protection of our safety from you know, there's some sort

(45:09):
of international threat that exists out there, and economic threats
are one of the biggest threats in society now. It's
one of the best ways that say an enemy country
can harm you is causing chaos within your economy. And
so the President has done an amazing job using the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act to get us better trade deals,

(45:30):
to ruin the deficit things that have been harming our
country for a very long time, and.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
All of a sudden they want to take it away.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
I truly think part of the reason they want to
disrupt this is because it's working so well, and that
should scream to you how little Washington, all the people
in it, the Nancy Pelosis who are now retiring in it,
don't actually care about you. They don't want things to
go better for you. They want to do everything they
can to make sure that the other political side doesn't

(45:58):
get any points. I want to win elections more so
than they actually want to help you. The reason the
government is still shut down, and it of course is
a democratic shutdown, is because those people want things to
be bad so that you vote for them and think
that they're going to fix it, even though they're the
ones that are causing the harm.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
I have two pieces of audio for that. I will
go ahead and play that next.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
First, this is a Senator Rosin saying that it's a
Republican shutdown and you're in control, and how dare you
and getting pushedback.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
I'm going to play that audio first.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
I heavily disagree with her, but I want to play
it because then I want to play audio that you've
probably heard by now that's gone viral for the last
few days of Barack Obama criticizing Republicans When he was
in power, when Democrats had a majority in the House
and the Senate everywhere and Republicans were disrupting it by
shutting down the government. Obama was very upset about that

(46:51):
when that happened during his term. This is exactly what
is occurring now in reverse. The Democrats are pouting and
they're upset that, you know, the people in charge are
they disagree with and the United States of America has
put people in positions of power across the executive and
legislative branch because we want those changes, and they're trying
to disrupt those changes and do everything they can to

(47:11):
stop it. But here first is the crazy rant saying
that it's a Republican shutdown, saying to you, it's.

Speaker 10 (47:17):
A Republican shut down, my friend. You are in control
of the White House. You are in control of the House,
and you are in control of the Senate. If you
went home to ald Bank instead of going tomorrow lago
still he had a gold plated dinner while people are starving.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
You see and hear, By the way, I do love
something that Ben Shapiro recently said about all this, the
narrative on this. He says that now in society, it
seems like many voters respond to you saying the problem
out loud without offering a solution. That is what democrats
are doing. They're trying to blame somebody for the problem.

(47:53):
But they also mumdani, all of them are simply stating that, hey,
life is hard right now, this is expensive, that's expensive.
Of all these things are issues, and we're going to
fix it. But the solutions they offer won't work. They
know they won't work. They'll be terrible for our society.
Communism is bad. We've learned this as a world multiple
multiple times. Bad things happen when people get into positions

(48:16):
of power, whether they call themselves democratic socialists or Marxists
or communists or whatever bad things occur next and will
sadly maybe learn that lesson again, at least in New
York City. But what I think is really fascinating, and
I think Shapiro is absolutely right in saying this is
one of the people trumpeting this a bit, is that
just saying the problem out loud is not actually you

(48:39):
know enough to fix it. And a lot of people
simply respond to that now they think that the empathy
part is all we need in d C, so DC
can keep doing horrible things. And by the way, people
who were really good at sounding like they wanted to
fix problems and they knew what the problem was, that
was Barack Obama.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
He didn't fix it.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Well, the Obamacare, you know, decisions were horrible for the
cost of health care throughout the entirety of our country.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
You know that, I know that.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
But he yelled a whole lot about how he thought
he could make things better and you wouldn't have to
switch your doctor, even though inevitably you did. All of
that is yet another example of just saying the part
out loud that you feel like all right, they understand,
so we're going to trust them to fix it, and
then they never do it. But here's Obama ranting about
how terrible it is to shut down the economy, to

(49:25):
shut down everything going on in Washington to government because
you're upset that the party in power is able to
dictate the rules and you're not able to dictate them.
This is his message. At the time. It was for Republicans.
It sounds like it's very appropriate for Democrats now, of
course Obama's not saying it anymore. But I digress the
internet as a memory.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
That's perfect. Here we go.

Speaker 11 (49:47):
Because do not like the law, they can go through
the regular channels and processes to try to change it.
That's why we have elections, so they can go through
the normal processes and procedures of a democracy. But you
do not threaten the full faith and credit of the
United States of shutting down the government just because you
don't like a law that was passed to say no

(50:09):
Congress before this one has ever ever in history been
irresponsible enough to threaten uneconomic shutdown, to suggest America not
pay its bills, just to try to blackmail a president
into giving them some concessions.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
I Wow, Oh, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
I don't need more Obama because, as you know, everything
he says and everything he does are utterly different. But anyway,
what I think is really fascinating about that is you
could literally just play that two Democrats right now and
say this is what you're doing, this is what you're
choosing to do. And now that it's been the longest
one in history, it sounds like you're willing to open
up the government soon. And I'll say one more thing,
and this is probably going too far, but I can't

(50:52):
help it.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
It's who I am.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
I have always thought that the government shutting down in
and of itself is not actually bad for America. It
needs to reopen. I won't pretend that the government can
be shut down forever, but if it shuts down just
for a little bit, maybe not the longest shutdown in history,
which is what we're dealing with now. I think that
inevitably a lot of Americans realize how little the government
helps us on a day to day basis, but there

(51:16):
is a time period where eventually that does become an issue.
And so I will say that again, I wish what
could have happened in reaction to this is we fired
a bunch of people who didn't need to have jobs,
who don't need to be bureaucratically employed by our tax
dollars in DC that could just be canned, and we
couldn't do that. That's one thing that I wish we
could have done better that we can't do. Because when

(51:38):
the government reopens, when people get the paychecks that they
need that haven't been getting them, especially the military, which
I know we've done some things to try to circumvent
them being harmed in this, but they still get harmed.
A lot of people that are federal workers at a
very low level get harmed, and of course the people
at the top of the totem P will never do
But at the end of all of that, when all

(51:59):
of this finally goes away, and Democrats caused the pain
to the people that they say they're trying to protect
people who are just hard working Americans and they are
not the party of hardworking Americans anymore. But anyway, when
all of this happens, part of the takeaway I think
for a lot of people will be that there was
a while there where I didn't really notice. There was
some time where I maybe started to notice that the

(52:20):
government being shut down was bad, but there was a
good chunk of time where it didn't really impact me,
a whole lot where I didn't even really think about it,
a whole lot. And that says something about how much
good or lack thereof, is actually happening in DC in general.
All right, Well, take a break a lot coming up.

Speaker 8 (52:38):
I need relief Factor. I need relief Factor for my
computer right now because everything's operating slow. Relief Factor is
the one hundred percent drug free way to handle everyday
aches and pains. They wanted me to tell you about
this guy named Bob. He's sixty three years old. He's
forty years as a car painter and a body man.
Bob could rarely walk and couldn't make it up the stairs.
By day four or five, he felt the change. After

(53:00):
eight days on relief Factor, Bob was seventy five percent
better and thoroughly impressed. Bob shared that after just eight
days he felt seventy five percent better. Kinds of transformations
that Bob went through can't be ignored, and relief Factor
helped support it. Bob's natural inflammatory response, which causes aches soreness, stiffness,
and discomfort after exercise and daily activities. You can try

(53:22):
Relief Factors three week quick start for just nineteen ninety five.
That's only ninety five cents a day, less than a
cup of coffee. Don't wait. Visit reliefactor dot com or
call eight hundred and number four Relief and get your
three week quick start today for only nineteen ninety five.
Support your body with natural anti inflammatory power and see
if for a relief factor is right for you.

Speaker 7 (53:41):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
It's time for Florida Man.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
That's right, It's time for Florida Man on the Dana Show,
a Dlash Dana Lash Radio and x on Twitter a
great ways to stay connected everything she's got going on.
What is a bathroom was sadly a question that the
Internet had to ask after a South Florida man pulled
a knife during a bathroom dispute at a store. Lots
of questions, not a lot of answers there. The last

(54:12):
thing you want to be the end result of a
customer using the restroom inside your organization, this would be
a public's facility, is for them to come out wielding
a knife and that is exactly what a seventy two
year old man did. This is something that happened at
nine am on a Monday, too. Because part of me thinks,
and I'll just say it the way that you probably

(54:33):
expected to be said that a whole lot of these
Florida stories involve alcohol, that somebody's drunk or at least
some sort of narcotic has been used how to cause
the bad decision making. But at nine o'clock in the morning,
you assume that maybe it's not that. But an officer
had to intervene. He actually had to enter the restroom
and saw a guy holding a knife, ordered him to
drop it, ordered him to do whatever he needed to do.

(54:56):
The guy complied, but he told police that he just
really needed to use the bathroom, and he became upset
when the victim did not move out of the way.
This would be the guy he was threatening with the knife.
So at some point, if someone burst into the restroom,
is like I got to go now, and there's no
open stall, no open facility, and you're in Texas. Excuse me,
You're in Florida, not Texas. If you're in Florida, someone

(55:17):
might pull a knife on you. That might be the
end result of that which would cause me to both
need the restroom and also be very willing to remove
myself from whatever situation I was in where the knife
was a part of it. I would imagine the person
who has the knife pulled on them by the crazy
guy then needs the bathroom even more, not less.

Speaker 9 (55:36):
All right.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
A woman reported a woman's report at Saint Pete's home
about an invasion. An assault was all fabricated with an
AI photo. So this is a crazy story. This is
that is Saint Petersburg. A woman calls nine one one.
Her name is Brooks. She's thirty two years old. She
claims that somebody broke into her apartment, that they threatened her,

(55:57):
that terrible stuff happened. Result, though, is that she faked
the whole thing. She used artificial intelligence to make a
fake photo to share with police after they responded to
the scene. The claim that some things were happening that weren't.
The victim now suspect, as Petersburg Police Department refers to,
Ashley had shown proof of images of a person that

(56:18):
she claimed to not know that it entered her home
forcibly possibly injured her getting inside the house. Stole things,
all kinds of stuff. A canine unit was used. I
love that part of this story. So you're using the technical,
you know, the advanced AI stuff to try to make
your claim seem legitimate, and the way that that gets thwarted,

(56:39):
the way that they defeat your story not being true
is a good old dog doing some sniffing around the house.
That's my favorite thing I've heard in a while. The
best way to defeat AI and all the crazy people
who will do horrible things to lie and you know,
use it to their advantage is to just have some
well trained dogs sniff out the lie. I love dogs.

(57:00):
They're better than cats. This is yet another example of that.
The detectives immediately saw proof evidence of all the fabricated things,
including even actually a TikTok trend that she seemed to
be copying, where you pretend to be a victim mostly
to get some you know, clicks and links and things
online and use AI to get it done. Talk about stupid,

(57:21):
by the way, because beyond whatever issues she's going to
have legally from this one attempt, the other thing you're doing,
if you're someone who's going to wield you know, cops
in any way, shape or form to benefit you, and
it's a lie, is you're going to cause way less
help to be done for you and for other people.
When the cops assume the next time this call comes
in is that it is a lie, not that they're

(57:42):
actually not going to do their job. I just think
it's it's insane that you make it this much harder on.
Police already struggle with a lot of things because of
how society at times seems to talk about them. But anyway,
a woman tried to fake an assault in our house
using artificial intelligence, and the dogs put threat to rests. Finally,
a tatted up Florida man was found with meth hidden

(58:06):
in a place you don't want it to be hidden in.
He told the cops there's nothing wrong with drugs after
they discovered stuff. Thomas is forty one years old. He's
got multiple tattoos on his face, which is always a
move that I don't understand, you know, like tattoos and
the rest of the body. Fine, you can't cover up
the face tattoos, So that's the unique version of giving in.

(58:27):
And then you hide drugs again in parts of your
body that I would not want to hide anything in
and when they finally discover them, the cops who can
probably already tell maybe by the way you're walking, that
some issues are there. They then tell you, you know,
this is not okay, this is illegal, And your response is, hey,
drugs are fine, man, just.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
Leave me alone, let me do whatever I want to do.
Isn't America free country.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
That doesn't work, by the way, It doesn't get you
out of the problems that you've created for yourself. This
guy is going to have a lot of issues in
court in the very near future. All right, quick break
a lot more Creig Allin's filling in on the data
show our partners.

Speaker 8 (59:02):
I'm a little salty because I really wish I would
have invented this Amos squared. I love AMMO squared. We
go through a lot of AMMO in our house because
we train a lot and we just like to shoot right.
And AMMO Squared is America's ammunition reserve. I used to worry,
so even after COVID, I had this mindset, like, especially
during COVID, like, oh my gosh, you know, you can't

(59:22):
get a nine millimer, you can't get anything. You can't
get a single that I mean, AMMO is out everywhere.
AMMO Squared is how a lot of people got around
some of this. It's America's ammunition reserve. It's a worry
free solution, so you can collect ammunition for the future
and you won't ever get caught empty handed. You can
choose from over seventy calibers. You set your monthly budget.
You let ammo squared curate your supply automatically, so you

(59:45):
set it, you forget it, and then you ship it
when you need it. And they have a secure, climate
controlled facility that keeps your AMO fresh and safe until
you decide to get it delivered. There's no minimums, there's
no hidden fees. You got free shipping on orders over
two hundred and fifty dollars. This is perfec fit for trying,
not new calibers. Top off your training rounds. When you
know how much you shoot, you know it's automatically that

(01:00:05):
AMO square is going to curate it and for the
lack of a better way to put it, fill up
what you've used so you're ready for whatever comes next.
I think every gun owner needs to be a member
of AMMO square. Visit amosquared dot com and secure your
AMO supply for the future. Do not run out when
it counts. Stock up before training and then stay restocked

(01:00:26):
after to stay ready. They make it so easy. It's
ammosquared dot com and tell them Dana sent you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about, Dlash, Dana Lash Radio,
and x on Twitter. Great ways to stay connected to
everything going on for her and the show. Caroline Levitt
reacted to some of the Biden regimes spying on President
Trump and anybody in his orbit a whole lot of Republicans,

(01:00:56):
which is certainly damaging information now be official, not that
it's surprising. A whole lot of people in response to
this story on the right, both voters and people in
media like myself. Our reaction was yet, duh, of course
we think this is happening. It shouldn't be. It's highly illegal.
People need to be in trouble for this. It would
be wonderful if you know, actually we see a whole

(01:01:17):
bunch of people thrown off and hauled into jail for
these sort of things. And yet I don't know if
we'll see enough of it, but the FBI is at
least giving us more information about arctic frost and how
crazy it was. Here's what Caroline Levitt, the Press secretary,
said yesterday.

Speaker 12 (01:01:33):
You've about breaking news from the Attorney General. She revealed
just about an hour ago that the Justice, the Profiden
Justice twenty sees President Trump's official first term phone and
subpeanut is private phone records. Do you have a reaction
to that, and also do we know if they actually
got those private call records?

Speaker 13 (01:01:52):
I saw the Attorney General's post on that. For additional questions,
I would refer you to the Department of Justice. But
I think this is just further evidence of the egregious
overreach and weaponization of government that took place under the
previous White House against then former President and now President
Donald just Trump. It was a clear effort by the
Biden White House and the Biden DOJ to go after

(01:02:14):
the president and this is just further evidence of that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
All right, I want to say a couple things in
response to how Caroline Levitt handled this question, because I
thought it was great when you have someone on the
left in a position to answer a question like this,
even if it's a softball, which technically this is because
it's evidence of spying on Trump, and she's the press
secretary for the current Trump administration. Of course, something Biden

(01:02:37):
to hope never would have happened that Trump got back
into the White House, and I'm so thrilled he did
because of stuff like this. This is one of the
biggest reasons to be very, very happy that Trump is
back in power and that he put people at cash
Betel in positions of power to out all the corruption
that we know exists in DC. But anyway, as I
say that, I love the fact that she said, I

(01:02:58):
refer you to the other department for more information, which
is what you always hear from the Left when they
don't know how to answer something, they just say, next question,
somebody else, go ahead and answer that, not me at
a later date. Caroline also gave her opinion. She also said,
how this is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Overreach and horrible and terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
I'm paraphrasing her comments on it, but I think that
that's an excellent way to handle it.

Speaker 13 (01:03:21):
Is.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
Yes, you should look to the Department of Justice for
more information on the specifics of how much they know
of what potentially could be in any of these court
cases and things that'll come from this. But also this
is horrible and just more of the same. In a way,
we just know that we've seen this before and we'll
see it again. His Democrats are the horrible party that
does the bad things, even though they want to convince

(01:03:44):
their voters they're the good guys. They're the people that
would never do any authoritarian behavior, and then they do
it again and again. They weaponize the Department of Justice.
Then they blame that on Trump, which is insane. All right,
I do want to play this audio. I probably should
have played it more. I haven't played it enough, but
I do really like it. This is Nancy Pelosi. Well, no,
it's not actually her. It's excuse me, Trump's reaction to

(01:04:06):
Nancy Pelosi announcing she's finally retiring, She's finally going away.
This is Fox News reporting on this and saying, Peter
Deucy exactly how President Trump responded to the news that
Nancy is finally leaving Congress and we'll finally go I
guess make millions and millions of more dollars legally with

(01:04:26):
insider information while not actually serving a no one in DC.
She was not serving the people. She wasn't serving San Francisco.
She has her own long form like Goodbye San Francisco
video out there. I watched it, and I don't want
to play it for you. I was so annoyed by
the inauthenticity of it, the ridiculous of it, like everything
about it. It's disgusting to watch people go to DC

(01:04:50):
not fight for any of their constituents at all, just
better their own lives, enrich their own lives, and then
come back home after all of that, pretend as though
they fought the good fight for you. There's something uniquely
horrible about that. But here's what Deucey said about getting
Trump to react to Nancy Pelosi is finally leaving, finally
returning back to the hole that she never should have

(01:05:11):
climbed out of.

Speaker 7 (01:05:12):
Yes, and I just chatted with President Trump about this
breaking news that Nancy Pelosi will be leaving Washington. He
tells me the following, and this is a quote. The
retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America.
She mabebele corrupt and only focus on bad things for
our country. She was rapidly losing control of her party

(01:05:32):
and it was never coming back. I'm very honored she
impeached me twice and failed miserably twice. Nancy Pelosi is
a highly overrated politician, and so that is the first word.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
Every part of that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
I love the fact that he said he's honored that
he got impeached twice and she failed twice by the
Pelosi and then also that she's just a terrible person
who was bad for the country. By the way, we
also have this mix of audio. Producer Stephen created this
for me. This is mental gaffes, just a flashback to
I think it was like sixteen brain freezes within a

(01:06:06):
one off press conference for Nancy Pelosi. When you hear
people mentally struggling this much, you immediately know that we
should have an acuity test, that your brain should be
proven to be working well enough to be in a
position of power in DC. And if you can't pass
a mental acuity test, you got to go. This would
be a moment where you're pretty sure Pelosi wouldn't pass,

(01:06:28):
like a first grade English test.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
But here, let's play some of that audio too.

Speaker 14 (01:06:34):
Mark the sixth, the end of the time for an estate.
The list goes on and on. What Wilson, I'm very
proud of the work of Benny Thompson and ranking member
Thompson the most exhilarating thrill for people. It's not permanent.

(01:07:00):
And again, as you know yesterday, we're teen months later,
my sin senative is happening this week.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
My brain hurts a lot from yesterday, fourteen months later,
House in Senate things happening this week like it hurts.
That's only thirty six seconds of a much longer clip
that I could keep playing of Nancy just swinging and
missing in basic speech things. And you've got to say
to yourself that this has to be an easy demonstration
of why a mental acuity test is important. And I

(01:07:30):
don't mean an age limit, because I think that someone
like Trump, who every day rolls in front of media,
takes hard questions and gives answers, and might still be
a guy that'll talk for twenty minutes after you give
him how are you doing today, sir? Question, and he
rants and it goes all different directions. It's still the
same guy you remember from a few years ago. And

(01:07:51):
he's still capable of back and forth anything with media,
and he does it so so often that he can't possibly,
you know, even remotely be afraid of being thought of
as anything other than a guy who's fully capable of
having these conversations. Most Democrats hide from media at certain
ages because their brains are broken and their mush. And
so whether Nancy Pelosi has a health issue, which I

(01:08:14):
don't hope on anyone, even someone who's evil and corrupt
like she is, or anything else out there, I just
think it's going to be good for America that she
goes away. But here's the big takeaway, the part that
probably matters more than anything else. A lot of Democrats
are also happy to see Pelosi go away, but not
for the reasons I'm happy, because they don't think she's

(01:08:35):
radical enough. A lot of people in DC that were
trying to push her out, people like AOC after the
Mamdanie Win in New York, feel emboldened. They feel like, yes,
we're going to radicalize more of the left. The base
on the left has been told for I think decades
now that you have to stop being so insanely on

(01:08:56):
your side, you have to stop being so radical, and
they've been a forced to a certain extent, not the
people who are all over social media complaining about things,
but the people in positions of power to actually have
some modicum of in the middle version of actually pretending
that they're you know, Biden, for an example, is someone
that was supposed to be a more moderate Democrat, and

(01:09:18):
then once you could realize that he wasn't actually in
charge and that the auto pen was, they made him
do more and more radical things. But the left wants
to be insane. They want to be so far over
in the side of men can take women's bathrooms and
do whatever they want with them, sort of thinking men
can play women's sports, et cetera, et cetera, and people
like Mundami are going to help them believe that they're

(01:09:41):
capable of doing that, that they're going. By the way,
my favorite joke from SNL in a long time has
been Shane Gillis calling Mumdani a zultar Rob zombie. And
every time I say the Mumdanni name, now I want
to call him zult Rob zombie because it's just so good,
that's just so excellently And I bet you it was
a Shane Gillis joke and not inn SNL joke. But anyway,

(01:10:05):
Nancy Pelosi going away is not bad. But I don't
know that it's going to be as good as it
should be because I think that Democrats are only going
to get more radical in the process. All Right, one
last thing I do want to play this is a
President Trump talking about how congressional Democrats wish to do
horrible things to America, essentially saying a lot of what
I'm saying, saying that you know, they're the party of
communism moving forward. And I happen to agree that President Trump,

(01:10:31):
and what the lesson he learned from the election recently is.
I mean, like, look, I'll say one other thing about this.
Jay Jones wished for the death of his political enemies.
We have text messages that went viral that people knew
about that said that he wanted to not only kill
his political enemies, but like kill their families, their kids.
He literally sounded like an insane cartel person that wants

(01:10:54):
to do a lot of harm, and he somehow still
was elected to a position of power because Democrats are
the bad guys, and they want to pretend they're not
the bad guys but the horrible people. And they want
to just pretend that the Republican side of the isle
is actually full of these monsters. And yet the Democratic
politicians themselves have once again outed them their dialogue as

(01:11:16):
being the kind of thing that would make a Republican unelectable,
but for some reason makes a Democrat as fine, we'll
go ahead and put him in a position of power.
But here's Trump talking about how dangerous things are getting
without actually I think calling the people who vote for
these individuals the communists too. But this is truly what
you're actually seeing. And darned, everyone on the right gets

(01:11:39):
called the Nazi. Trump gets called the Nazi. But the
only person who's been elected into a position of power
that seems to agree with a lot of the things
the Nazis believed is Zoltar rob Zombie, which again my favorite.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
Right here we go.

Speaker 15 (01:11:51):
If you want to see what congressional Democrats wish to
do to America, just look at the result of yesterday's
election in New York, where their party install the Communists
as the mayor of the largest city in the nation. Boh,
Remember I've said we will never have a socialist elected

(01:12:15):
to any posts in our country. I used to say
that that is right. We skipped socialists and we put
in a communist instead.

Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
They're not good, sir, Definitely bad.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
He goes on, I probably will play more of that
audio in just a bit, but yes, they seem hell
bent on turning American into the communist Cuba or socialist Venezuela,
you know, version of a country. That is something that
Trump said that I definitely agree with based on this
election just a few days ago. But hopefully all you
see out of New York in the next few years
is catastrophic failure. Not because I hope bad things on

(01:12:48):
everyday people, but if you vote someone into a position
of power who then does things that they promised to
do and it actually winds up harming you and everyone
around you, hopefully it teaches you the lesson that you
shouldn't allow somebody like this anymore. All Right, we'll take
a break. A lot coming up Creig Collins filling in

And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
That's right, it's time for a quick five on the
Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled
to be with you d Lash Dana Lash Radio on
x on Twitter. A great way to stay connected to her. First,
there is a bear cup, The Bear resta cup that's
on sale at Starbucks that is destroying the Internet, or
at least a lot of young people are getting in fights,
apparently in Starbucks.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
To buy these items. Two things you should know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
It is a glass cup that looks like a bear
that costs more than thirty bucks after taxes. And the
second one is it's not worth it all the fighting,
all the trying to get these and Starbucks doesn't actually
sell a whole lot of them at any specific location,
So if you didn't show up by now, you probably
didn't get one today, and you're going to have to
be on a waiting list to get one in the
near future. But anyway, the other thing you should know

(01:14:57):
is that you know if you wait long enough, they're
going to be a everywhere because this is just a
hype of craze that will quickly die out as more
and more people buy the Starbucks glass bear cup and
feel like they have some sort of fancy item that
other people don't have. It's the rarity of it that
makes it special, and Starbucks won't care about that they'll
sell too many. But anyway, that's a big story apparently

(01:15:17):
on the internet. Another thing, the average person has two
spots in their home that they believe are theirs, my
spot number one, my spot number two. People aren't supposed
to sit in your chair, sit near your window, whatever
it might be. I don't have any of these. There's
nowhere in my house that I think is my spot.
But what I actually have is spots my wife has
designated to me, and spots that are hers. So like

(01:15:41):
when I sit on the couch, if I'm in her spot,
that's wrong and I got to go to the area
that she's decided is my spot. The same is true
for anything else. My closet is only a certain amount
of space.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
That is for me. That's not been my decision.

Speaker 1 (01:15:54):
I think if you're married, you have a very different
version of two spots, or even one spot that you
did not pick yourself, that the.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
Missus picked for you. And then finally, one last thing.
I think it's interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:16:05):
Predator bad Lands has gotten like an eighty eight percent
on Rotten Tomatoes.

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
Is the latest Predator movie.

Speaker 1 (01:16:12):
It's just a bunch of scary, ridiculous fun violent fighting
with you know, aliens and people or cyborgs and something
and whatnot. I want to play a little bit of
this trailer because I want you to share in the
joy I have I know this is radio. I know
you can't see it, but the voice over alone should
tell you what.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
The story is about.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
Predator bad Lands looks like it'll be a big movie
this weekend.

Speaker 12 (01:16:32):
Welcome to the.

Speaker 8 (01:16:33):
Most dangerous planet.

Speaker 9 (01:16:36):
In the universe.

Speaker 13 (01:16:38):
Yeah, baby, where everything.

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
Is trying to kill you.

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
Uh huh, I need a hand.

Speaker 12 (01:16:51):
You're here to prove yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:16:53):
Yeah, I'm.

Speaker 9 (01:16:56):
Hunting something.

Speaker 3 (01:17:00):
Be killed.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
Yeah, I'm it. I'm totally it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
By the way, I am here to prove myself to
the aliens and hunting something that can't be killed.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
It sounds amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:17:09):
This is the kind of movie that I like a
lot because it's probably dump There's probably a bunch of
people who walk out being like.

Speaker 2 (01:17:14):
The aliens never would have done that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:16):
And I don't care about those guys because I want
to see the violence in the craziness. But that is
an eighty eight percent of tomatoes. Seems like it'll be
a great movie. Quick break a lot more. Craig Collins

Thrilled to be with you at d Lash Dana Lash
Radio on x on Twitter, a great way to stay
connected to her and everywhere else that you can find
a Dana's radio stuff and digital stuff also at radio Craigsy,
if you want to follow the like four hundred people
that follow me, I'd love it. I don't do near
enough on social media to deserve it, but I'd still
love to have you anyway. Prop fifty passed in California.

(01:19:17):
Out of all the things that were sort of a
big deal that we saw over the last couple of
days and granted unsurprising that in an off year election
of any kind that Democrats showed up in much stronger
forces than Republicans because by and large, people who are
on the conservative side of the aisle, are happy with
what's happening in DC, happy with the President, happy with

(01:19:38):
some of the decisions being made by a whole lot
of the other representatives in the House or in the Senate.
Probably not exactly thrilled with the shutdown, although not blaming
Republicans anywhere near as much as Democrats want us to
blame them for these issues. But anyway, a Prop. Fifty
in California will allow for gerrymandering, redistricting, essentially a more
ridiculous map than already existed in California, to allow them

(01:20:01):
to have an overreaching democratic representation of that state, even
though there are conservative pockets. One such pocket, as Bill
Malugin talked about on social media as Huntington Beach, which
they even did an interview. I think NBC four in
Los Angeles always on your Side, I'm guessing is their
tagline or something like it. But they did an interview

(01:20:21):
with the mayor Pat Burns of the very Republican, very
red Huntingdon Beach and asked him what he thought of
having a deeply democratic representative sent off to Washington for him,
because they're going to carve out that slice of red
California and throw it into District forty two where they
have someone in charge that is not exactly going to

(01:20:44):
be a person that represents their feelings, their thoughts, their
beliefs are actually District forty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:20:49):
Excuse me.

Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
And here's what the mayor said in response to this,
is going to be a representative of the things your constituents,
your people want to have done in DC.

Speaker 16 (01:21:00):
I don't trust him by by what I've seen him
on the TV scening, chanting and at these rallies. He's
drank the poison of the Democrat Party and he is
all in for the big show and not.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
For what's right.

Speaker 16 (01:21:15):
We love America, we love this community, and we.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
Want to preserve it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
He actually gets emotional as he says, we want to
preserve it. We want to do our best to actually
keep America the way it's supposed to be, or the
way he feels that it currently is, and a whole
lot of people hate it. They want to change it
because they hate America. Robert Garcia, by the way, as
the representative that is potentially going to represent Hunting the
Beach now after that Prop fifty change, and he just

(01:21:44):
doesn't share any of the values that people in one
of the more populous parts of that new district feel
none of the values that they have themselves. And that's
a broken system. And I've said this before, I believe
I even said it on this show filling in for
Dana before that it's crazy that Democrats have been jerrymandering
for a long time. Both sides of the aisle'll do it,

(01:22:07):
but they've been doing it so ridiculously and for so
long that it's actually hard for them to carve out
as many seats in places like California and Illinois that
the Republicans are capable of carving out in just Texas alone.
And it says that Republicans maybe haven't done enough to
have things be as ridiculously insanely drawn as the Democrats.

(01:22:27):
But they're still going to create more seats, more seats
in the House because they're going to draw these maps
even more ridiculously. And I love when you see someone
like JB. Pritzker of Illinois out there claiming, you know
that they have to fight fire with fire, and then
you show the current version of a map in Illinois
and how insane it is and how ridiculous that most
of that state can be red, and only small pockets

(01:22:48):
like Chicago are blue. And yet the state is easily
overwhelmingly represented by Democrats, and say to yourself that seems broken,
and they're like, ah, stop looking at us, and let's
only pay attention to others.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
But this is interesting to me. Another story out there.

Speaker 1 (01:23:03):
A Jewish FDNY commissioner has decided to resign. That's the
Fire Department in New York. His name is Robert Tucker.
I think this is amazing. I think it's awful that
he feels he has to do this, but I think
it's incredible to stand up and say that Zoron Mumdani
does not represent anything that I feel and believe. His

(01:23:26):
anti Israel stance is one that is uniquely harmful to
the Jewish population of New York and to himself. I'm paraphrasing.
He didn't say these things exactly, just that he does
not align with the new mayor and so he's decided
to resign. I think that seeing a lot more of
this in a place like New York City, which has
a significant Jewish population, would help demonstrate how many people

(01:23:47):
even within New York are not, you know, horribly on
the crazy version, of the left that thinks that socialism
and communism is the right path forward in our society.
And I say this is someone who's lived in a
lot of big cities that have a lot of Democratic
representatives and a lot of people in the cities that
seem to drink the Democratic kool aid, because it's important

(01:24:10):
to have, you know, your cone of believing that there
are people like you in whatever place you live.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
I'm in Houston right now.

Speaker 1 (01:24:18):
I lived in Chicago for a long time, and I'm
from the New Jersey, New York area, and so I've
been around a whole lot of ideologically different people for me,
and it's nice to remember that I'm not alone even
in those places in what I think, in what I
say in Huntingdon Beach in California is not alone in
California and having a lot of you know, Republican ideals

(01:24:38):
and Republican representatives at least within their own community that
are put into positions of power locally for them, even
if they're not going to be the people they get
to send the DC anymore because of the gerrymandering and
redistricting there. And I'll say this, it's a weird pivot,
but I can't help it. One of the big things
that Charlie Kirk did incredibly well and one of the

(01:25:01):
biggest reasons I think the world will miss Charlie Kirk,
or at least our country will miss Charlie Kirk, is
he went into places like colleges and had conversations with
the crazy, woke people on the left that were at
those colleges, and a whole lot of the people that
agreed with Charlie on the right, who might also be
at school there, finally felt like they had a place

(01:25:21):
and like people that felt things in common with them.
He gave those people a voice, and I thought that
was a really interesting and he did it very often.
There'd be people that walk up to the microphone at
these college events that would say, Hi, I'm a conservative,
I'm this age, I don't fit in with the people
around me, and I just want your advice on this.
And Charlie was compassionate always in his response to a

(01:25:42):
lot of people I'm both the left and the right
when he'd have these discussions. But that's one of the
biggest things that we'll be missing in society is the
belief that no matter where you are, no matter who
around you says that nobody is thinking what you think.
That it's likely that there are other people. There are
like minded adults around in any of those communities, and
they need to start using their voice. I do believe

(01:26:05):
the biggest reason that Republicans did not do well in
an off year election in just a few places, especially
in places like New Jersey where you really hope things
would go differently than they did, is a lot of
people are fine. They decided themselves. You know what, I'm
not going to show up. I'm not going to vote
because I like what Trump is doing. I like what
you know, my local people have been doing to a

(01:26:28):
certain extent that maybe I won't go ahead and use
my voice to make sure that more people like Trump
are in positions of power and other places. That version
of being satisfied with the status quo is what causes
a lot of people on the side of the aisle
that's currently winning at a federal level to not show
up and vote in elections, and then you have terrible
things happen. I know New York had an incredible turnout.

(01:26:50):
I realized that I understand it. There are a lot
of places where the turnout wasn't what you wanted it
to be, especially what conservatives would have wanted it to be.
And I think the lesson there is you got to
vote all the time. You can't be mobilized. I feel
like I'm preaching now. I don't mean to get up
on the soapbox. I hate doing this, especially on a
platform that's not actually mine, on the Dana Show and

(01:27:12):
Dana Lash and whatnot. I don't think she'd disagree with me.
I just I shouldn't soapbox this much. But I can't
help but think to myself. And I know Ben Shapiro
has been saying this a lot recently, that the left's
version of a calling card right now, a mobilizing chant,
is to just say that they empathize with you, and
they know whatever the problem is, even if they never

(01:27:33):
actually fix it, and all the solutions they offer to
fix it they know won't work. You can take gun violence,
for example. The Left will tell you that the best
way to stop gun violence is to take away your guns,
and only people who actually abide by the law would
listen to that. The person who's deciding they're going to
hurt other people doesn't care if getting the gun illegally
is an extra step in the process, which is insane.

(01:27:56):
The left will say stuff like that, but they do
all the time. They just use rhetoric and narrative and
never actual solutions to problems.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
As part of it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:04):
But I say all this to say one other thing,
and I guess this is the soapboxy thing, is that
when you choose to sit something out, you say two
different things to the politicians in power. One you tell
them that the only way to mobilize you is to
be more radical, that whatever the message is, they have
to scare you and you know, fearmonger their way into

(01:28:24):
getting a bigger turnout. People like Mamdonnie have to tell
you that it's life for death, or people like Kamala Harris,
who thank god lost as resoundingly as she did, has
to tell you that it's a fight against Nazis and
that's for the left to be mobilized. But the truth
is that all that rhetoric could go away if people
just voted all the time, if we actually just showed

(01:28:45):
up and told them what we want, what we think
is appropriate, and what we think is good for society,
and a whole lot of you know, people did that
who maybe set out this midterm election, then I don't
think you would have had the resounding wins by Democrats
that you saw. And so I hope in the future
that that's what happens, that most of us get mobilized
to vote all the time and all the elections, even
the ones where we think there's no shot that our

(01:29:06):
candidate's going to win, because if enough of us do that,
eventually some of those candidates might actually win some of
those races. And especially what happened in New Jersey, and
the hope that it would have been better, I think
would have been swayed by a better turnout by conservative
voters that I think do exist in that place. All right, well,
we'll take another break. After the break, I do want
to talk about another fight that happened outside.

Speaker 2 (01:29:25):
Of a bathroom.

Speaker 1 (01:29:26):
We had a fight in Florida during the Florida Man Story,
where a dude pulled a knife on another guy inside
a bathroom because he had to go and the guy
that was in front of him was blocking his ability
to go. There was also a fight in Odessa, Texas
at a bass pro shop that involved a restroom and
guys waiting in line for the bathroom. I don't know
why people are fighting each other in bathrooms now, or

(01:29:50):
in lines two bathrooms, but I'll tell you more of
that story. I'll even play some audio, even though it's
a lot of yelling and I had to do a
lot of bleeping of it, because for some reason right now,
one of the most danger the rest places to be
is in the line of the restroom trying to go
to the bathroom or potentially blocking a crazy Florida dude
with a knife while you're, you know, using the facilities.

Speaker 2 (01:30:10):
This seems bad. I'll get to it more.

Speaker 1 (01:30:12):
And just a bit, we'll have some fun with some
other silly topics out there. Craig Collins filling in on

not so serious on YouTube, Apple or wherever you get

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
stuff out there to talk about. For some reason, people
are getting in fights at or around bathrooms and Odessa,
Texas at a grand opening of a bass Pro shop,
a couple guys got in a fight. I don't know
what that was about, well online at the restroom, and
then a couple other dudes started fighting near them. I

(01:33:05):
think about an XL T shirt or a triple X
T shirt. So two weird fights happening roughly the same time.
I believe I have some clean audio that will play
of this situation.

Speaker 2 (01:33:14):
Here we go. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:33:26):
I love the audio that you can actually make out
of someone yelling and you wonder why our schools are
falling apart. I am so amused by that part of
this fight, because, Yeah, if people are devolving into chaos
at the grand opening of a bass Pro shop over
triple X T shirts and or use of a bathroom
line and a bathroom, I agree that this could be
part of the reason that things are going so terribly

(01:33:47):
for so.

Speaker 2 (01:33:48):
Many of us. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:33:53):
You're an example of how bad things are going right now.

Speaker 2 (01:33:57):
That's well done.

Speaker 1 (01:33:58):
But my real question, and I don't have an answer,
and I hope maybe some of you do out there.
Why are we getting in so many fights and bathrooms?
A guy in Florida pulled a knife on another dude
because he wasn't going fast enough and the guy behind
him really wanted to go. And that's a unique situation.
It might speed up the use of the facilities. I
do think to have someone behind me pull a knife

(01:34:18):
on me as I'm going, I would think that that
might make things go even quicker, but nonetheless probably not
an appropriate process, not an appropriate move to be made.
On another of many stories out there for some reason,
of people fighting near and around bathrooms. I hate that
I'm going to tell you about this, but I'm going
to do it quickly. Oprah has put out her Favorite
Things twenty twenty five edition, something she's been doing for

(01:34:41):
a very long time. Often people react to the most
out of touch things on the Oprah's Favorite Things list,
which is really just an opportunity for companies to give
Oprah money to tell people that still like her that
they should buy these things. From these companies. The most
ridiculous thing was a two thousand dollars espresso machine. And
then also, and this is my favorite, not exactly for

(01:35:03):
its cost, but the ridiculous of it, ridiculousness of it,
reading glasses for the shower. These are specifically designed to
not fog up, to not have as much you know,
water stand them. But they're glasses that you would put
on so you can read things while you're in the hower.
I don't know why you need that. I'm going to
be very honest. I'm a guy who's worn glasses a
lot of my life, and I am totally fine taking

(01:35:25):
them off in the shower and dealing with no reading
capabilities for the amount of time i'm showering. That is
something that I can sacrifice to be cleanly on a
daily basis. I don't know why people can't do that.
Are there's sixty bucks the anti fog reading glasses that
are designed to be worn and used within the shower.
It just seems strange. That seems odd. I feel like

(01:35:45):
you don't need anything like that at all. And darn it,
I think Oprah knows it and everybody knows it. But
they threw some money at her, so hey, let's go
ahead recommend a truly odd product this year. And then finally,
one last thing. I do really like this too, not
because it's something that's good. And honestly, the conspiracist in me,
the conspiracy theorist in me, wants to believe that somehow

(01:36:07):
this is tied to politics. But five hundred and thirty
one hospital patients in Maine or sent letters that told
them they were dead. They were all alive, so they
got the letter, they read the letter. They probably wondered
why Maine decided to send an envelope to them, but
it said that you're dead, Barbara. I hate to have
you hear this from me, but you're not alive anymore.

(01:36:30):
Was a version of a thing that was out there
and other versions of it, and Maine had to apologize
for it. Maine Health said that as a nonprofit, an
error occurred somehow in their computer system by a mistake,
and they sincerely regret the quote. Goof that occurred where
you sent a bunch of people in hospitals letters that
said that they were already dead when they were still

(01:36:51):
not that at all, and hopefully, you know, getting better.
But what's crazy about this is that immediately makes me
think of the amount of dead people who vote in elections,
and the potential that maybe this system was trying to
be used to see who would respond to these letters
let them know they weren't in fact dead, so that
you can't use their vote in an election. You know,
later on, maybe this was a test. Maybe more than

(01:37:13):
five hundred and thirty one people got these letters, and
some of them sadly had passed away, so they didn't
respond back with no, I'm not dead, so then they
can vote in an upcoming election for a Democrat. I'm
not sure it feels that way to me, but darn it,
this is just a strange, odd thing, And I wonder
what you do if you get one of these letters,
if you actually like laugh to yourself and say, well,
this person's wrong, or if part of you also gets

(01:37:35):
terrified that it means that they're predicting something that's coming
and you need to know more. I would definitely be
asking questions at that hospital if it were me. All right,
This is Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.
