Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show. My name is Creig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about d Lash, Dana Lash
Radio and x on great ways to stay connected to her.
The House Ways and Means Committee is now investigating three
far left nonprofits Surprise, surprise, for all kinds of terrible
fraud and other things, plus potential ties to the Chinese
Communist Party. And no part of this is remotely surprising
to a vast majority of us, But to some people
that pretend that somehow, some way, this is something they
never expected and they were never they would never have
seen before.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 3: So you got a House panel now investigating the money
trail of three far left nonprofits. The issue here is
whether a Marxist millionaire based in Shanghai gave them tens
of millions of dollars. Lucas Tomlinson on that today out
of DC. What'd you find out do it?
Speaker 4: Lucas, Good morning, build a powerful House and Ways and
Means Committee wants to know how three of them He's
left wing nonprofits obtained more than thirty nine million dollars
from alleged Marxist tech tycoon Neville Singham when Republican China
Hall calls sing them a trader and wants the Justice Department,
who's launched an investigation to lock him up.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think they should lock him up. By
the way, here the teke.
Speaker 5: From China ties to the Chinese Communist Party, our biggest
adversary in America, the Chinese Communist Party, and this guy
who who is an American but he lives in China.
All of is, the billions of dollars that he's made
come from Chinese Communist Party tech companies that are funneling
that are using him to funnel money to fuel left
wing violence in America.
Speaker 1: It's not okay, of course, is the obvious take there
from Jim Banks, a Republican politician out of Indiana.
Speaker 2: And yeah, this is exactly what.
Speaker 1: We expect to see in a world where a lot
of these socialists, whatever you.
Speaker 2: Want to call them, a communist is what a lot
of us call them, or.
Speaker 1: Marxistilosophies are becoming more and more acceptable in the Democratic
Party that you have someone from the far left who
lives in China funneling money in to create harm, to
create all the kinds of chaos that they want here.
This is exactly what we're expecting to continue to happen.
Unless we shout this down, people cannot win elections who
want to see this version of America rise and not fall.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett is also in the news. She continues to
need to compare Donald Trump to President Trump to Hitler
for some reason.
Speaker 2: Here's the latest to that.
Speaker 7: What is there to protect our democracy to make sure
that it sustains through the next want to be king
or next want to be Little Hitler or whatever? So
you know, to me, the number one thing should actually
be fortifying democracy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that the best way to prevent
anybody from becoming Hitler is to not give a whole
bunch of people a ridiculous amount of power over our country,
our means of production, which is.
Speaker 2: What you guys want to do.
Speaker 1: You guys want to seem to be on the forefront
of creating the next potential dictator Hitler in this country,
because it's certainly not President Trump. He certainly doesn't have
the capability to even get the Save Act created and
done with. And I do think it's sort of crazy
that we're at a point where we're talking about how
much obvious discontent there is, how much fighting infighting there
is between just a few Republican senators and the President
of the United States when it comes to the Save Act,
and how obvious it is that we should just get
this done. This is just a thing that needs to
happen asap, and you need to find a way to
force those people to be on the same team that
they're supposed to be on. All right, let's play a
lot of the Elon Musk stuff. I do find a
lot of this to be pretty interesting. Elon has gone viral.
He played some of it yesterday, mostly because of this
interview he gave with The Economist in which he was
asked all kinds of ridiculous questions and gave amazing, to
her face face answers about how terrible the press actually
is to a member of the press that seemed to
think she's pretty great, Are you.
Speaker 8: Auntie Muslim?
Speaker 9: I am I'm I'm against having if if people are
coming to a country with antithetical views, Yes, I am
against that. Good, I'm against that, you know. I'm against
I'm against rape and murda. I'm against the imposition of
rules and laws that are.
Speaker 6: Contrary to what we've come to accept in the West.
Speaker 1: And that's the audio that I wanted to start with.
It is the audio that I played part of the
part of the show I think yesterday. But it is
the most important to take away from When you don't
support something, it has nothing to do with race specifically,
or religion specifically or any of that. It's much more
very concentrated on what a person's beliefs are, no matter
what they couch them in, religion or anything else. And
if they're antithetical to the things we believe here in
this country, and if someone thinks that rape's okay, murders okay, etc.
We're not going to get along well with people who
feel those those things. And so it's just sort of
crazy that you've got to say that out loud. There
was also a debate on how much Elon is hated,
and he seemed to think that, and I think he's
right about this. No matter how many people out there
dislike Elon, more people currently dislike the version of the
press that we have in our society.
Speaker 8: Parrimunt, particularly on social media, fostered by the kinds of
things you are pushing on X actually helps this makes
it worse.
Speaker 6: I don't think so. I think you're the problem the media.
Speaker 9: And speaking of loathing your loads far more than I am,
and you don't seem to even realize that.
Speaker 10: I think.
Speaker 8: I think very few people know who I am relative
to you, So I don't think I play in the same.
Speaker 6: Game the media colectively.
Speaker 2: So it's not you you hate it.
Speaker 6: Do you even know that? You probably don't.
Speaker 8: I like to think that I'm aware of my own
personal shortcomings and the economists shortcomings and our world view shortcomings.
Speaker 10: But what we.
Speaker 8: Stand for, as you as you know, is liberal values,
traditional liberal values. Worry about concentration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm already dead with her actually doing the explanation
because I think Elon's absolutely right. When anyone in media
sits down with Elon Musk, the design of this conversation
is for it to go viral that someone in media
asked Elon Musk what it feels like to be hated.
They don't want themselves to be focused on as much
as Elon is focusing back on her in this conversation,
and then she's doing the mistake of thinking that he
literally means just her and not all of media as
a whole. But the thing about being someone like an
Elon Musk is you have seventy five different conversations with
people that are similar to her, that are at all
different outlets, that tell you their news media, that want
to talk to you, and they all come in with
the same goal. They come in with the same desire
to somehow embarrass you, somehow get you to say something
in a way that they think will be the big
story and it has nothing to do with them. And
instead of playing that game, oh no, no, hold on, instead
of playing that game, he just looked at her and said,
how I think the problem is you, all of you collectively,
and the terrible way in which you go about conducting
your jobs.
Speaker 6: You don't even live there. I think of it as
sort of the West collectively.
Speaker 8: But do you see why this makes people think that
this man who has all his power, he's the world's
richest man, he thinks he has a right to influence
our politics. It makes people It's why you know, we
started this conversation saying superlatives. Why people loathe you?
Speaker 6: I mean some people do loath you, Yes, some people do.
Speaker 8: But do you understand why I don't care? Do you
think what they're doing is helpful for Western do.
Speaker 6: Maybe some people do loath me, and that's probably true.
I don't care.
Speaker 9: But the fact that, as you pointed out, a quarter
billion people follow me is that I think a lot
more people actually like me than don't.
Speaker 6: And I think a lot more people hate you more
than you realize.
Speaker 1: Yes, and she seems to very much not understand how
many people seem to dislike just everything that media is doing.
That there's so many pieces to this interview that we're
just fascinating to hear him talk about. He was asked
about immigration specifically and gave a pretty short answer to that.
Speaker 9: In favor of immigration. Obviously, i'd be hypocritical if I
wasn't since I'm immigrant to the United States. I'm in
favor of immigration. If the person immigrating is going to
be a productive member of society, if they're going to
be honest, and if they're not going to miss treat
people in that country they're going to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's all fine.
Speaker 1: And if they also tell us who they are and
they go through the process of coming in legally so
we know everything we need to know about them instead
of just trying to sneak in and not tell us
anything that seems worse. One last thing in the world
of the Elon Musk interview that seems to be going
very viral. He schooled a reporter on what the far
right actually is.
Speaker 6: I did, like this, what the normal people? What do
you call it? Far right? Falsely you think is the
normal person? Okay, yes, littlely you could.
Speaker 9: You could go back ten or fifteen years and these
these these policies were completely normal.
Speaker 6: In fact, you One of the things, one of the
tricks I think it is funny.
Speaker 9: I think it's quite funny, is to like take a
speech from Obama and Hillary and then and then go
to someone and say, who's who sort of you know,
on the sort of what I call the lunatic left,
and so what do you think of the speech?
Speaker 6: Like Trump?
Speaker 9: Like, oh, wow, he's the worst person ever. Actually that
was a speech by Obama. Well, actually that was a
speech by Hillary.
Speaker 8: Yes, I agree, No, I agree that the center of
gravity in this country has shifted. Certainly the Democratic Party
shift is the left. But that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about people like, right, please people.
Speaker 6: It's actually just normal people.
Speaker 9: It's just more people it's just more people and the
and here are the principles, and and tell me, which
are these sound terrible? That we should have secure borders,
that we should have safe cities, that we should have
sensible spending.
Speaker 6: Which are those three are a far right fringe?
Speaker 2: And those three are all totally fine.
Speaker 1: And they're the basis of a whole lot of the
discussions that happened on the political right and not the
far right. As Elon Musk is correctly pointing out, I
love I love everything about that. I love the way
that he pushes back and fights for her to try
to just categorize him as far right himself. He's like,
I'm just a normal person. I'm just a normal guy
who wants normal things, who says that this is good
or that's good. And we used to all say that
a short time ago, and my he used. The example
is when you play audio of Barack Obama saying that
illegal immigration is bad and it's skipping to the front
of the line in front of all the people who
are doing it legally.
Speaker 2: Just that simple statement is one that makes people go crazy.
Speaker 1: Now if they think Trump said it, and when you
tell them Obama said it, their brains explode the way
Elon Musk is describing.
Speaker 2: All right, we're going to take another break.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff to get to, a lot
of things to talk about, both serious and silly. Today
it is a Friday. I want to have as much
fun as I can. But there is kind of a
big story involving USA today that I thought was interesting
in a apology that was made by columnists there. So
we'll probably talk about that and more in just a bit.
This is Creig Collins filling in on the data show.
Speaker 11: You guys are very familiar with bernagun. We've talked about
it before and I've told you guys a million times
that I will always carry and I have no problem
using lethal force to defend myself, that's the thing. But
there are times when you cannot carry because of municipal
restriction or private property restrictions, and you want to be
able to have an option, some kind of option. So
this is where the burner gun comes in, right, So
specifically for this purpose, the CEL the compact launcher. It's
about the size of an iPhone, concealable, no recoil, and
because it's not a gun, it doesn't care about gun.
For his own signs because it's not a gun. Oh. Also,
there's no background check, there's no permits, there's no waiting period,
there's nothing like that. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles. Can
visit Berna dot com slash Dana b y r Na
and check out the Burner Compact Launcher. Learn more about it,
learn what it does, learn how it actually works. Berna
dot Com slash data.
Speaker 2: This is the Dana Schelle.
Speaker 1: My name is Craig Collins, filling in to cap your
week thrilled. They've been here all week for you. Lots
and lots of stuff out there to talk about Dan Lash.
Dana Lash Radio on x A great way to stay
connected to her at Radio greig Zy. If you want
top follow my social media. This is zorn Mumdami's New York.
This's an example of it. There's an update on the
story about the Islamist suspect who stabbed two men while
yelling a la achbar during both New York City attacks
and a good samaritan who helped police find him in
a hiding place. Just a disgusting story, but an awesome
job done by someone to point police in the right direction.
Here's a little bit of how Fox News talked about this.
Speaker 10: Just carrying out the unprovoked daylight attacks. His name is
Raoul Morales, a good Samaritan is being credited for leading
police to his hiding spot. The NYPD commissioner says that
during each attack, Morale shouted God is the Greatest in
Arabic quote, and detectives are continuing to work the case
and determine motive, but according to the victim and witness statements,
Morales yelled a la Akbar during both attacks. The NYPD
is currently evaluating whether this is a potential hate crime.
Speaker 12: The commissioner also saying that mental health may have been
a factor, and that there's no known link between the
suspect and the victims, who are now recovering. Zoron Mamdani
releasing a statement saying, in part, I'm relieved that both
victims are in stable condition. The NYPD responded immediately, and
I am grateful for the officers for their swift response.
These hateful and despicable attacks have no.
Speaker 2: P have no place in our city. Was the end
of that statement.
Speaker 1: And what's crazy is it seems like Zoron Mamdami is
one of the people encouraging these kind of hateful attacks,
the constant saying that you are going to arrest Benjamin
Netnyahu for war crimes that the United States doesn't believe exist,
and certainly we don't recognize the international criminal courts at all,
as you've heard multiple times.
Speaker 2: And he knew that. He knew that.
Speaker 1: But he's stoking the flames of fire, in the flames
of any sort of disparity between people and beliefs, like
Zoron is at the forefront of I want some people
to hate other people in this city for reasons that
make no sense.
Speaker 2: I want to move on to what's going on in Iran.
This is a big story.
Speaker 1: The President has said multiple times recently that a different
phase of attack will be happening, happening a massive attack
of some kind, whether that means additional bombing, What type
of targets might change in the world of that decision
or if it's carg Island or something else like, where
the next move is made will be as significant as
how big of an attack is done there. And I
think that a lot of people are also asking questions
about control of the strait of our moves. The blockade
alone is not getting us what we want how much
more do we need? All of that is a conversation
where people have all kinds of reactions. A lot of
people say things like I don't want to see boots
on the ground. You hear other people say things like
I just want this to end. So I thought it
would be interesting to play audio from Senator Tim Sheehy
who told a story about his service as a Navy
seal and one of the people that was serving with
him who was killed by an Iranian weapon, and how
significant it is to fight this enemy because for so
long this enemy has been fighting us and we have
not been fighting back. So regardless of what you think
of if we shouldn't have been there in the first place,
or if we've gone too far, if the next step
might be too much, it is a good thing to
realize how long Iran has been fighting and harming us,
and how long it's been successfully sadly taking military lives
of United States citizens, tho.
Speaker 13: The loss who served, and that is a dignified return
of remains from the war zone. I participated in many
of those ceremonies myself, to include carrying friends of mine
off the plane.
Speaker 14: One of those is on this bracelet.
Speaker 13: He was cutting half by an Iranian EFP. This regime
that we are fighting does not care about our partners
in politics. They don't care who you voted for, who
you pray to, or where you live. They want to
kill all of us. This is a war of choice.
The Democrats are correct. It's a war of choice that
was begun by a radical, lunatic band of terrorists that
took over a beautiful nation forty seven years ago.
Speaker 14: Love Donald Trumper, hate him, love his.
Speaker 13: Policies, hate ice, love ice whatever. There's never been a
single president who has stood up to Iran and hit back.
For forty seven years, our troops and our families have
been absorbing attack after.
Speaker 14: Attack after attack all over the world. We didn't start.
Speaker 1: This, We didn't start this war, but we will end it,
is what he says at the end there. I thought
that was really really impactful to hear from someone who
has a first hand experience of losing someone he served
with from an attack in Iran. And if you don't
know what an EFP is, by the way, it's an
explosive formed penetrator device, which is not only an explosive device,
but is designed to cut through things like armor, heavy
vehicle armor as well as any sort of armor people
would wear. So again, a horrific thing that he experiences
at the hands of an enemy that's been fighting us
for far longer than we've been truly fighting back. And
many people who are saying that President Trump should continue
to take action or saying something relatively similar, and the
fight and the fight in whatever terms it needs to
be ended in so that it doesn't keep coming back.
And I do think it's also interesting to hear the
Senator say that Iron was once a beautiful country about
fifty years ago before a crazy, lunatic terrorist people took
over and started doing what they've been doing and forcing
the people themselves to live in horrible conditions for quite
some time. It is, in fact the type of thing
I've said this before, I'll say this again. It's the
type of conflict that if someone on the left chose
to fight this fight, media would be praising this person
constantly for caring so much about you know, individuals and
you know, giving people the type of a life that
we take for granted.
Speaker 2: Here in the United States.
Speaker 1: There'd be so many avenues of praise that would be
found for someone fighting the Iranian terrorist, you know, regime,
if that person was in fact a Democrat. Since it's
a Republican who actually chose to do it, and since,
of course, even worse for mainstream media that Republican is
President Trump, it becomes the kind of thing that they
actively have to hate.
Speaker 2: They can't possibly like any.
Speaker 1: Of this, because, darn it, the right thing to do
all the time for them is to hate the president
and his moves at all costs. And it's one of
the things that's things that is benefiting are on is
the way that our media seems to be trying to
force the government to step down, force this administration to
step down, and luckily we have not been listening.
Speaker 2: And in some cases.
Speaker 1: Even though so it's not the way I want the
midterms to go, there also has been little worry that
what's happening could impact the midterm elections in the sense
that it doesn't make us stop. All the things Iron
has counted on for us to do, to back off,
to back down, none of them have actually successfully stopped
what is happening. And I think that's a good thing,
because I think the realization that we're an enemy that
is not going away, and we are fighting aroan now
eventually brings them to that place. We're trying to get
them to where they accept the reality of the world
we live in and how much more powerful we are.
But we'll see how that goes. One other thing that
do you want to talk about? The White House Correspondence
Dinner Round two will be happening tonight, and it's kind
of crazy to listen to Jackie Heinrich of Fox talk
about these security measures that have been implemented. Of course
they should ramp up security from the attempt that happened
last time of someone almost getting into the door that
then wanted to take the lives of anyone in there,
including the President of the United States, essentially tripping over
himself one of the reasons that he didn't make it
into a staircase to try to get into the ballroom
where the correspondent centner was being held. But even more
important than that, and I think the biggest takeaway for
some is some of these things they're saying, it's sort
of shocking they didn't do them before, essentially meaning like,
how could this be the first time you're choosing to
do some of this stuff?
Speaker 6: Here?
Speaker 15: We security measures after a gunman stormed the ballroom during
April's dinner in an attempt to take the president's life.
Some of those new measures include mandatory guest registration for
everyone attending. It will prevet everyone in that room, who
will have to show a QR code to get in.
There will also be only one entrance. The Director of
the Secret Service, Sean Curran, says his agency is going
all out to secure this event in coordination with other
federal and local authorities.
Speaker 16: Numbers are numbers at this agency, and certainly I have
never seen in my twenty four year career.
Speaker 2: They're off the sharts. H.
Speaker 16: I think the environment has become very volatile, and that's
just across the board. You know, I think not just
our protectees, but local local officials. The threat you know,
picture and environment is as large as as I've ever
seen it. Right now, we have an advanced team there
and they will take back and they will set up
a plan to set that site up for success.
Speaker 1: Look, you know what's really interesting about this is how
obvious it is to anybody listening that we should have
our own ballroom at the White House that we can
hold events at that is constantly secure. We should not
have to go to a hotel in Washington, d C.
And secure a facility that's not typically you know, capable
of protecting everyone in it the way you need to
protect the President of the United States and anyone else
that goes to the White House correspondence dinner. And I
know there were a lot of questions about whether jd.
Vance would also attend, essentially keeping someone away. And I
do love the fact that they're not going to back
down from that. You don't want to let the crazy people,
the assassins, create the rules. You want to be able
to stop them from believing they have any impact on
what we do. So yes, you recreate the dinner and
recreate it in a safe environment where everybody can go.
That sounds great, that will happen tonight. But seriously, the
amount of effort and the amount of money that this
costs compared to just having a freaking ballroom, obviously, I
think hopefully demonstrates even more how right Trump was about
the thing that he wanted that he doesn't even benefit from.
The funniest part about that fight and how many people
say it's terrible that Trump wanted to build a ballroom
in the first place, is that by and large he's
not going to get any sort.
Speaker 2: Of use out of it.
Speaker 1: It'll be people after him, whether that's a Democrat or
a Republican, who will probably be thrilled that they have it.
All right, We got to take a break a lot
coming up. Thrilled to be with you. Craig Collins filling
in on the data show.

Speaker 2: This is the Dana Schelle.
Speaker 1: My name is Craig Collins, filling in Thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk
about d Lash, Dana Lash Radio and x A great
ways to stay connected to her. The House Ways and
Means Committee is now investigating three far left nonprofits surprise, surprise,
for all kinds of terrible fraud and other things, plus
potential ties to the Chinese Communist Party. And no part
of this is remotely surprising to a vast majority of us,
but to some people to pretend that somehow, some way,
this is something they never expected and they were never
they would never have seen before.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 3: So you got a House panel now investigating the money
trail of three far left nonprofits. The issue here is
whether a Marxist millionaire based in Shanghai gave them tens
of millions of dollars. Lucas Tomlinson on that today out
of DC, what'd you find out to do it?
Speaker 4: Lucas, Good morning, Build a powerful House and Ways and
Means committee wants to know how three of these left
wing nonprofits obtained more than thirty nine million dollars from
alleged Marxist tech tycoon Neville Singham. When Republican China Hawk
calls sing them a trader and wants the Justice Department,
who's launched an investigation to lock him up, well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they should lock him up. By the way,
here the.
Speaker 5: Teas from China ties to the Chinese Communist Party, our
biggest adversary in America, the Chinese Communist Party, and this
guy who is an American but he lives in China.
All of is, the billions of dollars that he's made
come from Chinese Communist Party tech companies that are funneling
that are using him to fund to funnel money to
fuel left wing violence in America.
Speaker 1: It's not okay, of course, is the obvious stake there
from Jim Banks, a Republican politician out of Indiana.
Speaker 2: And yeah, this is exactly what.
Speaker 1: We expect to see in a world where a lot
of these socialists whatever you.
Speaker 2: Want to call them a communists is what a lot
of us call them.
Speaker 1: Or Marxist philosophies are becoming more and more acceptable in
the Democratic Party. That you have someone from the far
left who lives in China funneling money in to create harm,
to create all the kinds of chaos that they want here.
This is exactly what we're expecting to continue to happen.
Unless we shout this down, people cannot win elections who
want to see this version of America rise and not fall.
All right, Jasmine Crockett is also in the news, she
continues to need to compare Donald Trump to president or
President Trump to Hitler for some reason.
Speaker 7: Here's the latest to that, what is there to protect
our democracy to make sure that it sustains through the
next want to be king or next want to be
little Hitler or whatever? So you know, to me, the
number one thing should actually be fortifying democracy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that the best way to prevent
anybody from common Hitler is to not give a whole
bunch of people a ridiculous amount of power over our
country and our means of production.
Speaker 2: Which is what you guys want to do.
Speaker 1: You guys want to seem to be on the forefront
of creating the next potential dictator Hitler in this country,
because it's certainly not President Trump. He certainly doesn't have
the capability to even get the Save Act created and
done with. And I do think it's sort of crazy
that we're at a point where we're talking about how
much obvious discontent there is, how much fighting infighting there

of this interview he gave with The Economist in which
he was asked all kinds of ridiculous questions and gave

with antithetical views. Yes, I am against that. Good, I'm
against that, you know. I'm against I'm against rape and murda.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I'm against the imposition of.
Speaker 9: Rules and laws that are contrary to what we've come
to accept in the West.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And that's the audio that I wanted to start with.
It is the audio that I played part of the
on part of the show, I think yesterday. But it
is the most important thing to take away from when
you don't support something, it has nothing to do with
race specifically, or religion specifically or any of that. It's
it's much more very you know, concentrated on what a
person's beliefs are, no matter what they couch the men, religion,
or anything else. And if they're antithetical to the things
we believe here in this country, and if someone thinks
that rape's okay, murders okay, et cetera, we're not going
to get along well with people who feel those those things.
And so it's just sort of crazy that you got
to say that out loud. There is also a debate
on how much Elon is hated, and he seemed to
think that, and I think he's right about this. No
matter how many people out there dislike Elon, more people
currently dislike the version of the press that we have
in our society.
Speaker 8: Perrimunt, particularly on social media, fostered by the kinds of
things you are pushing on XT actually helps this makes
it worse.
Speaker 6: I don't think so.
Speaker 9: I think I think you're the problem the media, and
speaking of loathing, your load is far more than I am,
and you don't seem to even realize that.
Speaker 8: I think I think very few people know who I
am relative to you, So I don't think I play
in the same.
Speaker 6: Game the media collectively, So it's not you you hate it.
Do you even? Do you even know that?
Speaker 17: You?
Speaker 6: Probably don't.
Speaker 8: I like to think that I'm aware of my own
personal shortcomings and the economists shortcomings and our world view shortcomings.
But what we stand for, as you ass you know,
is liberal values, traditional liberal values. Worry about concentration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm already dent with her actually doing the explanation,
because I think Elon's absolutely right when anyone in media
sits down with Elon Musk, the design of this conversation
is for it to go viral that someone in media
asked Elon Musk what it feels like to be hated.
They don't want themselves to be focused on as much
as Elon is focusing back on her in this conversation,
and then she's doing the mistake of thinking that he
literally means just her and not all of media as
a whole. But the thing about being someone like an
Elon Musk is you have seventy five different conversations with
people that are similar to her, that are at all
different outlets that tell you their news media that want
to talk to you, and they all come in with
the same goal. They come in with the same desire
to somehow embarrass you, somehow get you to say something
in a way that they think will be the big story,
and it has nothing to do with them. And instead
of hold on, instead of playing that game, he just
looked at her and said, how I think the problem
is you, all of you collectively, and the terrible way
in which you go about conducting your jazz.
Speaker 8: You don't even live there.
Speaker 6: I think of it as the sort of the West collectively.
Speaker 8: But do you see why this makes people think that
this man who has all his power, he's the world's
richest man, he thinks he has a right to influence
our politics. It makes people It's why you know, we
started this conversation saying superlatives. It's why people loathe you.
Speaker 6: I mean, some people do loath you, Yes, some people do.
Speaker 14: But do you.
Speaker 2: Understand why I don't care.
Speaker 8: Do you think what you're doing is helpful for Western Villa.
Speaker 9: Maybe some people do loath me. That's and that's probably true.
I don't care the uh, But but the fact that,
as you pointed out, a quarter billion people follow me.
Is that I think a lot more people actually like
me than don't. And I think a lot more people
hate you the idea more than you realize.
Speaker 1: Yes, And she seems to very much not understand how
many people seem to dislike just everything that media is doing.
That there's so many pieces to this interview that we're
just fascinating to hear him talk about. He was asked
about immigration specifically and gave a pretty short answer to that.
Speaker 9: In favor of immigration. Obviously, I'd be hypocritical if I wasn't.
Since I'm immigrant to the United States. I'm in favor
of immigration. If the person immigrating is going to be
a productive member of society, if they're going to be honest,
and if they're not going to mistreat people in that
country they're going.
Speaker 2: To Yeah, I think that that's all fine.
Speaker 1: And if they also tell us who they are and
they go through the process of coming in legally so
we know everything we need to know about them instead
of just trying to sneak in and not tell us anything,
that seems worse. One last thing in the world of
the Elon Musk interview that seems to be going very viral.
He schooled a reporter on what the far right actually is.
Speaker 2: I did, like this, what.
Speaker 6: The normal people? Would you call a far right? Falsely,
you think is the normal person?
Speaker 9: Okay, yes, you could go back ten or fifteen years
and these these these policies were completely normal.
Speaker 6: In fact, you one of the things, one of the
tricks that I think it's funny.
Speaker 9: I think it's quite funny, is to like take a
speech from Obama and Hillary and then and then go
to someone and say, who's sort of, you know, on
the sort of what I call the lunatic left, and say,
what do you think of the speech by Trump? Like, oh, wow,
he's the worst person ever. Actually that was a speech
by Obama? Or actually that was a speech by Hillary.
Speaker 8: Yes, ig no, I agree that the center of gravity
in this country has shifted. Certainly the Democratic party shift
is the left. But that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about people like, right, please people.
Speaker 6: It's actually just normal people. It's just more people. It's
just more people.
Speaker 9: And the and here are the principles, and tell me
which are these sound terrible? That we should have secure borders,
that we should have safe cities, that we should have
sensible spending, which are those three are far right fringe.
Speaker 1: Those three are all totally fine, and they're the basis
of a whole lot of the discussions that happen on
the political right and not the far right. As Elon
Musk is correctly pointing out, I love everything about that.
Speaker 2: I love the way that he pushes back and.
Speaker 1: Fights for her to try to just categorize him as
far right himself. He's like, I'm just a normal person.
I'm just a normal guy who wants normal things, who
says that this is good or that's good. And we
used to all say that a short time ago. And
my favorite he used the example is when you play
audio of Barack Obama saying that illegal immigration is bad
and it's skipping to the front of the line in
front of all the people who are doing it legally.
Speaker 2: Just that simple statement is one that makes people go crazy.
Speaker 1: Now if they think Trump said it, and when you
tell them Obama said it, their brains explode. The way
Elon Musk is describing, all right, we're going to take
another break, there's a lot of stuff to get to,
a lot of things to talk about, both serious and silly.
Speaker 2: Today it is a Friday. I want to have as
much fun as I can.
Speaker 1: But there is kind of a big story involving USA
today that I thought was interesting in a apology that
was made by columnists there. So we'll probably talk about
that and more in just a bit. This is Greg
Collins filling in on the data show.
Speaker 11: How much of your financial life exists as a number
on a screen. Your savings, your retirement accounts, and investments
are all digital assets, and that's one reason many people
choose to own physical gold and silver as a part

can actually hold, and they've helped people preserve wealth for generations.

Speaker 2: This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 1: My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A whole bunch of stuff out there to
talk about. First, this was a really quick thing, and
I don't know how valuable the audio is, but darn it,
I'm gonna play it. The video's better, so I recommend
you go out there and check out the video too.
But Kentucky GOP Senator Rand Paul was asked if he's
talked to Mitch McConnell recently, and all he did was
walk by and shake his head no. And you actually
hear the reporter who's asking the question be like, so
that's a no, and then ran just kind of disappears
into an elevator. Because this is not a conversation people
want to have very often. There was a short amount
of time where I guess Mitch was making some phone
calls and a lot of people wanted to talk about
he was doing okay, but he's not out of the hospital.
And we don't really know what's going on here we.
Speaker 14: Go, Stator.
Speaker 2: Have you been able to speak with McConnell or visit
him in the hospital anything now? Is that any plans
to speak with him?
Speaker 6: Is that?
Speaker 1: Are just saying no again, any of that? You're getting
on that elevator right there. All right, we'll see you later, Senator.
It's been nice to talk to you, that's the whole thing.
But he did shake his head no, so there was
at least some reaction to the question being asked. Look,
I'm not a conspiracy theorist in the world of like
thinking that McConnell's dead already and he's you know, just
hiding that fact from us. But I don't think he's
he's likely to be someone who would be good at
being a senator. Again, I think that his health is
probably deteriorated enough now, regardless of the amount of recovery
that does occur, if it does and when that, he'd
be better suited just not doing this anymore, just caring
for himself and you know, living whatever life is left
in a much more enjoyable way than as a politician.
I can't imagine, no matter how much access you have
to unfair advantages, and you know, taxpayer money and all
the stealing and cheating that goes on in the world
of that, that it's still more valuable to have up
until the last couple of days of your life than
just a little bit of freedom. I know that that
sounds naive to say, but I feel like there's no
amount of money on earth that would make me feel
as though I'd want to die in an office and
not say with my family or enjoy any amount of
my life at the end of my life, which is
what several politicians get the option to do, and multiple
politicians choose the wrong path there. Dianne Feinstein is another
one who seemed to stay in an office far beyond
when many, many people would want to stay at any job.
Speaker 2: It's just it's surreal to me to see it again
and again.
Speaker 1: And I asked the dumb question that I often ask
to people, why do you think politicians do this? And
it's power, of course it is, or even proximity to power,
because someone else might be wielding that power for them
and wielding that power for themselves in some way capacity.
But it's just the kind of thing that demonstrates how
important term limits are because without term limits, We're going
to see more of this, and it should show us
how corrupt a government in fact is because people want
to hang on to this kind of power this long.
If it were a serving of the public sort of job,
people would probably more willingly retire from it and not
try to die at their desks. But anyway, for whatever
it's worth, in the world of McConnell, I am not
actually a conspiracy theorist, even if it kind of sounds
like a m one. And I just kind of wish,
even though I don't think he's a great senator right now,
for a lot of the things I want to see happen,
I kind of wish these people would just respect themselves
enough and their life enough to go away before you know,
God forces them to. All Right, another story out there.
I find this pretty interesting. Brandon Gill, yet again tearing
someone apart. I feel like I could find audio of
this every few days because of how good he seems
to be at it. This is the American Bar Association,
their leader, their president of being grilled by Brandon, and
I just love the approach at this point because it
seems well refined. He's done it enough times that he
kind of knows the game. I'm going to ask you
a yes or no question. You're going to refuse my
yes or no question. I'm going to keep pointing out
that you're refusing to answer it, and it's going to
make you look like a moron.
Speaker 18: EA's website quote, all of us have implicit biases?
Speaker 14: Would you agree with that statement?
Speaker 17: The ABA believes that diversity, equity, and inclusion improves.
Speaker 18: Would you agree with the statement that quote all of
us have implicit biases?
Speaker 14: From the ABA's website.
Speaker 17: Just look, the ABA believes that diversity in all of it.
Speaker 14: Is that a yes, It's a yes or no question.
Speaker 18: Do you believe that all of us have implicit biases?
As your website says, the ABA.
Speaker 17: Looks to remove barriers and we exist.
Speaker 18: My question, ma'am, do you believe that all of us
have look about it biases?
Speaker 17: I've expressed, I've expressed what the AG is doing.
Speaker 6: That is.
Speaker 18: That is the ABA's position, as expressed by their their
website against Twitch groups.
Speaker 14: Do you have implicit biases?
Speaker 17: The ABA believes that it's important to always expect.
Speaker 14: You're gonna fill it by stir because it doesn't make
you sound very good.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make it.
Speaker 14: Ask for you again, which against which groups do you have?
What do you hate it? Biases?
Speaker 17: What important is examine everyone's point of view and where
they may.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what about yours? What about you? Here's what's
so funny about that.
Speaker 1: This is what I love about this line of questioning
this topic so much, is that you can talk to
anybody about how terrible other people are. You can come
up with any any reason for it too, Like I'm
not talking about racial or reasons like that, like any anything.
You can be like, yeah, people today they're idiots, or
they're morons, they they act horribly, or they treat each
other like crap, like anything you want. And you could
be talking to a friend of yours and they'll probably
agree with you by and large. And you can be
more specific about the group if you want. But you
can do that until you turn that conversation on the
person you're talking to. Because the funniest part of those
grandiose statements is they're true for everybody if you think
they're true for anybody. So when the American Bar Association
is saying on their website that everyone is biased, everybody
has some sort of unfair reason to dislike someone else.
The most appropriate question you can possibly ask the president
of said association is who do you hate?
Speaker 2: Who do you not like?
Speaker 1: And you watch somebody squirm because most people do, in fact,
believe that they're the exception to every rule out there
in society, even the rules they themselves try to make.
So it's kind of amazing because I would go the
road of I think that several of us don't have biases.
I think that several of us don't implicitly hate other
people or believe ourselves to be superior to other people
based on a myriad of dumb reasons. I think some
of us, a lot of us, in fact, probably judge
each individual buy their character by their behavior, and doesn't
matter what they look like. And that is the definition
of why people do DEI. They claim that it's impossible
for me to judge a person who doesn't look like me,
whether it's sex, race, what have you, and think that
they could be equal to me. And how arrogant of
a behavior is that to actually say out loud for
the people that do it.
Speaker 2: So, if she's in charge of.
Speaker 1: The American Bar Association, and if the organization she's in
charge of which she is is saying the thing that
they're saying, then she has to be part of the problem.
It's so well done. It's such an intelligent way to
go about exposing the stupidity of so many arguments.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: Brandon Gill has been crushing it lately, doing this again
and again and again.
Speaker 2: A right.
Speaker 1: I have a couple pieces of leaked audio that I
want to play totally different things. I want is leaked
audio of John Thune being very upset with Caroline Levitt
and President Trump and how much people are blaming him
for not even calling the safe to a vote. I
understand how the filibuster works. I understand that the Save
Act cannot be passed without sixty votes because of the filibuster.
I would like it to go away. President Trump would
like it to go away. I've heard the arguments as
to why people don't want it to go away, that
the Democrats are just going to wield that power anyway.
Speaker 2: And I've made the argument.
Speaker 1: On the show earlier this week that the Democrats are
going to make the filibuster go away the minute they can.
They want to be the ones to do it first
and have the most time with that power. We should
get any power like that for any amount of time
first before they wield it themselves.
Speaker 2: But darn it, that's not the only part of the discussion.
Speaker 1: At least calling it for a vote would force some
people on the record to say no. And we've gotten
a version of that already. We have had Senators vote
against ways in which to try to incorporate the Save
America Act and say, other spending bills and whatnot. So
we know the names of the players. But let's do
it one more time for the cheap seats in the
back and actually get everybody to acknowledge how they stand
and why. And of course it's not happening, and it's
all Fune's fault, and people are mad at him, and
he's mad that people are upset.
Speaker 19: And maybe she or somebody else ought to get on
the phone and get the votes.
Speaker 14: Right.
Speaker 19: It's fifty around here, and so instead of you know,
pointing a finger at Republicans, they might think about going
after the people who are stopping it on the floor.
Speaker 6: She's the Democrats.
Speaker 19: And if there are Republicans that they think are gettable,
get on the phone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get on the phone with you.
Speaker 1: I think they're treating you like you're gettable, and they
want you to go get the other Republicans to at
least make sure that all the Republicans are on the
same page. Does that mean that the Save America Act
gets passed. No, but it does mean that we get
closer to getting some things on the record that we
want and then actually what we actually want is the
filibuster to go away. To make this more simplistic. But
if you need the names, people do know them. And
this is mostly because they fought to block the Save
Act from being added to a different bill, Safeguard American
Vote Eligibility Act, and how they were trying to tie
it to some spending measures that would have essentially got
a majority of We need everybody to have an ID to.
Speaker 2: Vote past that.
Speaker 1: Susan Collins, Mitch MCCONNELLD Tom Tillis, A Lisa Murkowski.
Speaker 2: These are the names we know. We know who the
people are.
Speaker 1: We call them the rhinos on that side of the
aisle for refusing to do stuff like this. So get
it done, John Thune and others, get this done. There
is no reason not to do it, or at least
attempt to do it, because at least it shows the
American people. How many Democrats don't give a crap about
them because it's overwhelmingly supported by the American people. That's
the real challenge when I hear people say that the
problem with stuff like this is the frustration and having
all of the power on a certain side and not
being able to get work done. The reality is that,
regardless of if it's Democrat to Republicans in power, so
many politicians will never give a crap about the stuff
you want or the stuff that you think they should do.
And they've showed you time and again. This is the
latest version of it. Most people support voter ID, they
can't get it done for some reason.
Speaker 2: Actually, this is pretty great.
Speaker 1: This is the view, having no idea how many states
already have voter ID. This made them all look pretty
freaking dump.
Speaker 13: I actually, I will tell you I, like most Americans,
I am in favor of requiring some sort of government
issued ID.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's because I live in.
Speaker 11: Florida, where it is a requirement and for me is
such a non issue.
Speaker 6: But five stagers required?
Speaker 2: Right, No?
Speaker 17: No? No?
Speaker 10: Six?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, most us it's a lot more than I thought.
Speaker 1: I think it's actually like twenty six. But it doesn't matter.
It is a majority of states that do in fact
require voter ID. The fact that Austin thought it was
five is hilarious to me. But yeah, it's not a
controversial issue except the world of politics. They want to
pretend it's controversial. One other piece of leaked audio. I
do like this lot. I know we got to take
a break, so I'll do this pretty quick. This is
in California. This is two Democrats in Sacramento talking about
how they should figure out a way to ban people
from talking at city council meetings. Like just for an example,
think about the types of people that show up at
the city council meeting that pay attention and care and
they want to get a few minutes to speak. You
want to shut some of them up in that moment.
It's not like you're even going to listen to them,
but you don't even want to hear them talk. And
the funniest part of this audio, and you might not
be able to make it out. I should probably turn
it up as much as I can so you can
hear it a little better. But essentially it's one of
the two people saying, yeah, but you know the city attorney,
you already told us we can't do that. It's illegal
to just kick people out. And still the first person
saying this stuff, the Vice mayor of Sacramento, is just
barreling toward Yeah, but we should do it anyway.
Speaker 17: We should this disruptions thing because if we want to dance, if.
Speaker 14: You know, specifically race, and we can't do that.
Speaker 1: We can't last first six months when we can't do that,
is what he's saying, and she's whispering, we did it
last time. We've done it before to people where we
don't let them talk at all because we don't want
to listen to them because they're the unwashed and the unholy,
and we want them out of here. And how dare
anybody think they can tell us what to do. That's
essentially the position of the political people in Sacramento, and
it is hilarious to hear them say it and unapologetically
be like, yeah, but even the even the you know,
lawyers have told us we're not allowed to do that. Yeah,
but we can figure it out, all right, We'll take
a break.
Speaker 2: A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the Data.
Speaker 11: Show and our partners that'll bring you the program it's
our friends at ghost Bed. If you want to sleep
on a pile of hobo trash and like have it
impact your health and age faster and maybe die sooner,
then you know, go ahead, you keep on doing what
you're doing. Ghostbed doesn't do that. Ghostbed actually makes pieces
of health equipment, right. These are mattresses that are treated
like health equipment. Because when you go to sleep and
you lay down in your bed, why are you sleeping?
You're sleeping to rest and recover, are you not? So
that is what Ghostbed. That's the mattress that they make.
Now here's the other thing. The construction way better, noticeable immediately.
The materials they use not even comparable to what these
other people use. They're way better. You notice it right
out of the gate. But here's the other thing. The tech,
the cooling tech that they have is built into every mattress.
Every other single mattress company is going to charge you
an expensive upgrade to have that. Ghostbed does not. It's
incorporated into every single mattress that they make, and their
Ghostbed pillows. By the way, hot sleepers are some of
their happiest customers, so you're going to notice the difference
less tension, better temperature, no more waking up. Soore, I
sleep on a ghost bed every night, and I love
my mattress. You could have this mattress as well. You
get one hundred and one nights to try it at home,
and if you do not feel the difference, you can
send it back risk free. Right now, they're worth of

Speaker 6: And now all of the news you would probably miss.
Speaker 14: It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 2: That's right, it's time for Quick five on the Dana Show.
Speaker 1: D Lash Dana Lash Radio and X a great way
to stay connected to her and all the awesome stuff
people like her and producer Steven do for that social
media account. And then at radio Craig c if you
want to see what it's like to not have a
fancy producer Steven to help you do stuff.
Speaker 2: Stephen a Smith different.
Speaker 1: Stephen is talking about Lebron James going back to this
or not going back, actually going to the seventy six
Ers and not going back to the Cleveland Cavaliers, which
is pretty surprising to a lot of people, including him
in saying that if he was going to go anywhere
in the East, he kind of thought, you knew where
it was, and it wasn't Philadelphia.
Speaker 12: I think today your initial reaction to Lebron joining forces
with Jalen Brown and company in Philly.
Speaker 20: Shock because I thought that if he was going back east,
he would go home, that he wouldn't dangle his presence,
his availability in the face of the Cleveland Cavaliers and
then go somewhere else and to choose the Philadelphia seventy
six Ers, this is a shock among chokers. And I
think that this speaks to Bob Myers be for the architect,
the former four time champion executive for the Golden State Warriors,
being in Philly now and having him near who.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is interesting that one of the people that
is responsible for the great teams of the Golden State
Warriors is now probably the guy that just loured Lebron
James to Philadelphia. Do the seventy six Ers become an
obvious choice maybe with the Knicks As far as teams
most likely to come out of the East. Now, I
think the answer is easily yes to that. Are the
seventy six Ers a good enough basketball team now to
take on the world of the you know, San Antonio
Spurs and not in the West, the OKC teams that
are probably still better than them. I don't know, We'll see,
but Lebron did say in his announcement that he wants
to compete and he wants to win, and so his
decision to him was the best place, the most likely
place to win a championship, And it is interesting to
pair him with another young star, although I'll be honest,
I'm not sure he's Option one A on that team.
Speaker 2: He wasn't Option one A in LA anymore.
Speaker 1: And so there are people, some of them I know,
not seventy six Ers fans, who will be saying this
right now, who think that he's harming his legacy by
joining teams where he's obviously not the primary or even
the secondary option. And the further and further he falls
down that list, the worse it looks. But will he
be beneficial to the Sixers, of course he will. Will
he be a player that's still incredibly productive as he
was last year. I imagine the answer is yes. But
will he win another championship. I think that's really the
only question left for Lebron James, and my answer right
now would still be know that. I think the best
teams are still in the West, and there's a couple
of them that are likely to beat anybody, but maybe
the Knicks if the next go on another historic run.
Because I'll say one last thing, and I'm a Knicks fan,
they were not the best team in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: They just played the best out of all the teams
in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I think if other teams that were better had played
up to their capability, sadly, the Knicks wouldn't have been champions.
But that's a whole, big part of it. You got
to play as good as you are, quick break a
lot more. I know it's not a sports show. Craig
Collins filling in on the Dana Show. This is the
Danish Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Speaker 2: Thrilled to be with you.
Speaker 1: On a Friday, just before the weekend, and I found
a story about farting and I can't help it. I'm
a child of a man, as often many of us
are I think in the world of farts being funny,
I find them funny. A research was done in Australia
on how often men and women fart, and my favorite
part of the story is that they created a unique product,
a small device that they called smart Fart Underwear that
would be able to dig detect excuse me, the amount
of farts you have per day. I didn't detect how
horrible the farts were, and then it charted your fart
I'm so amused and such a child. Anyway, it found
the thing that all of us knew, so all of
the science.
Speaker 2: Was basically wasted.
Speaker 1: Men do fart more than women, about one or two
times more per day, and some people fart a ridiculous
amount of times.
Speaker 2: I love that part of it, like the range.
Speaker 1: There were people that fart one, two three times a
day on the low end, and then some fifty nine
at times per day that probably need some sort of
medical assistance.
Speaker 2: They probably need to check on something to make sure
they're fine.
Speaker 1: But the study goes into even more detail as far
as diet choices that we make, which ones are more
or less likely and you know, all this to cause
you to fart more. But it's now definitively been proven
by science that men in fact fart more than women.
And I was gonna say, if this was one of
those studies where you had to self report how often
you did that, that definitely people were lying. But I
can't say that because they created the smart underwear. It
has the little device in it. The other thing I
keep thinking about, though, the reason I'm talking about this
at all in this show, is somebody has to pitch
that to somebody that pays money to fund it. Like
the funniest thing to me about a vast majority of
the scientific studies that wind up being talked about on
radio shows like this one is at some point it
wasn't a study. It was somebody's idea, and someone went
to some university, and then that university went to one
of its donors and was like, you know what, we
really need to study to men fart more than women.
Speaker 6: We need to know.
Speaker 1: And so either one scientist had an argument that he
wanted to win via doing the actual work, or it's
just a ridiculous waste of money again and again and again,
which it feels like it must be. But I would
love to be in those rooms with the people that
are pitching these studies and the people that are saying,
all right, we're going to green light that one because
you know there's stuff. If they've rejected the people who
greenlit the fart study, I want to know what they
said no to. That's my biggest question. All right, other
things out there. An anxious worker won a lawsuit I
think this was in the UK for not wanting to
be on a camera during a zoom call for a
work meeting while she was working remotely. This woman seemed
to think that it was totally fine to leave her
camera off. When the camera wasn't turned off, the person
seemed to say that, hey, how dare you? You terrible person,
you awful person?
Speaker 2: You know something.
Speaker 1: Some sort of fight occurred, and then inevitably the woman
did win a lawsuit. Again, I doubt that would actually
happen here in the United States. It feels like the
thing that would happen more in the UK or anywhere else.
But I doubt this woman's all that upset about it.
She seemed to say that it caused her a bunch
of emotional distress that she had to be on a
video camera for a work meeting, and that she even
this is her claim in a courtroom contemplated suicide and
I don't know why you would do that to be
on a video camera for a few minutes, but she won.
Annie Sulman, who's twenty eight years old, a Columbia graduate
working in the United Kingdom, now has more money and
well not a job, and she's certainly famous for a
thing that's odd. A one last story before we get
out of here. On the Data show in Instagram, pickup
artist was banned from social media. He wears those meta
glasses that have the recording device that you can't really
see in them, which is kind of odd. And so
for some reason he and a lot of other people
have been using these devices to record people without their
knowledge and then put it all up on social media.
And so Meta is now cracking down on what they
quote stranger harassers, which I think is a crap ton
of people who do a crap ton of stuff on
the Internet.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of young, dumb people do things
where they seem to want to prank or make someone mad.
That's definitely not the right generation to piss off. And
when you do that, you get in a lot of trouble.
These glasses do create that sort of funny dynamic of
proving out the thought that hey, maybe I shouldn't walk
up to the stranger and make them mad for no reason.
And it's also creepy it is that you can record
people without their knowledge. The glasses themselves are supposed to
have a little light that pops on when the camera
is turned on, so that you can see that someone
is recording you. The unfortunate thing is that people are
now selling online little stickers that cover that light up
so that you can turn the camera on on your
glasses without having anybody actually witness it.
Speaker 2: All right, that's it. That's the whole show.
Speaker 1: Thrilled to be with you as always on The Data
Show here on all of the different affiliate stations that
she's on, but specifically KSV Radio in Houston, where I'm
actually currently broadcasting the show.
Speaker 2: Talk to you guys later, See you next time. Craig
