Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 2: My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you d Lash. Dana Lash Radio great ways to
stay connected to her on social media at radio, Craigsey,
if you want to follow me and make me look
more legitimate in this industry, I'd be very grateful for
you doing that. All right, let's move on. The Tate
brothers were arrested based on charges coming out of the
UK that are horrible. I don't know if the charges
are true or not. I'm not telling you that I
think they're true or not. I don't get a chance
to see what all these things are. It's not the
first time the Tate brothers have been accused of sex crimes,
specifically involving children, which are horrible. I know that the
lawyer for the brothers has said that this is all
slander and not true and ridiculous, and they're going to
fight it. I know there's a hearing today in Miami.
I did want to play some of the audio from CBS,
though they put it up on social media in the
middle of the day, and it seems like it's a
reporter that they sent to the airport to maybe fly
to Miami if that's not where he was to report
on this. And the thing that's my complaint, and I
know this is predominantly what they put up on social media,
not maybe television, is that you can hear the airport
for the.
Speaker 1: Majority of the report.
Speaker 2: Like it's just a dude holding one of those little
portable microphones that you connect wirelessly to your cell phone
and talking into it, and like the audio is terrible.
So if you're going to do this topic, I really
think you could have done it a tad bit better.
But essentially the goal was telling anybody that doesn't know
who the Tape Brothers are, and so I'll let CBS
do that part for me so I don't have to
do it, and then we'll react.
Speaker 3: The Tape Brothers face fifty nine charges from seven accusers
of crimes that are alleged to have happened from twenty
ten to twenty seventeen in the United Kingdom, including for rape,
sex trafficking, and child and extreme pornography. The controversial social
media influencers deny the allegations. The Tape Brothers were arrested
in Romania on charges of rape, human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
The case did not go to trial and remains open.
Florida is also investigating the brothers. They've denied all wrongdoing.
Now they are massively influential among young men, part of
the so called manosphere. They are known for making controversial
comments online like this one.
Speaker 4: I don't have the humans.
Speaker 1: I'm going to stop it right there.
Speaker 2: I don't think we actually need to throw the comments
out there, even though CBS chose to do it. I'll
stop it at that point, and you can go look
at them more if you want to.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to censor the brothers.
Speaker 2: I just think that's going to deviate too far from
the intention of what I want this discussion to be about.
Speaker 1: There's two ways this goes.
Speaker 2: The first way this goes, and I hear this from
a lot of people, especially supporters of Andrew Tate the
Tate Brothers, is that someone may have planted some kind
of evidence that makes them look guilty of a horrible
thing that they're not guilty of. The problem with whenever
anybody gives you that explanation is how difficult it is
to envision, not in envision that they'd be a target
of something like this, because I think anybody that's his
high profile and controversial as the Tape Brothers are would
probably be a target of all kinds of horrible, terrible
acts for people.
Speaker 1: But the actual.
Speaker 2: Legitimacy and pulling it off and getting an amount of
data and whatnot onto a computer that they own that
then could be apprehended that then shows a lot of
horrible things on it, or even to have people come
forward and complain or in this case accuse them of
horrible sex crimes and all of those people to be
making it up or on some sort of payroll.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's impossible.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that the first avenue and a discussion
about this when people say it's all manufactured, if it
does also exist, meaning the proof is actually seeming to
be damaging to the likelihood that they didn't do the
crimes they're accused of, it just becomes incredibly difficult. And
I talk to friends of mine who are on the
side of you don't understand the amount of power and
money that people have in the control of our system
that they have because of that power and money, and
I actually do. I understand that it's possible, but I
understand that it's by and large unlikely. It's Okham's razor.
What is the most likely scenario here to play out?
And so the other thing that becomes valuable, again, not
knowing if they're guilty of something or not, is the
reason that they're so controversial in the first place, and
they're talked about so much in the first place, and
they have people who are so willing to come to
their defense even without knowing anything. And on that topic,
I think there's a more interesting sort of pivot because
I think I see this a lot. I see this
in all kinds of stories. I've seen this in the
stories involving the ICE involved shootings. The people that hate
ICE and have been convinced by our mainstream media that
every ICE agent is a thug that wants to murder
people are immediately sure that the ICE agents did something
horribly wrong. And there's a lot of people who would
defend myself usually included in this group the actions of cops,
because by and large, I think cops are really good
people who want to protect society in our community, and
the actions they take that are difficult, the things that involve,
you know, a force, or things they don't want to
do so I am one to likely believe the outcome
or the explanation that someone gives me. That's part of
law enforcement, that they only acted because they had to. However,
and this is however that's important in all of this stuff.
You just got to admit when you don't know. And
as far as the Tait Brothers go, and all the
people coming out and saying that they're accused of doing
stuff that they didn't do, and they themselves defending it,
you just got to admit you don't actually know yet
that whatever these charges are, whatever the newest thing is
coming from the UK, you haven't seen it. I haven't
seen it, and at some point we hopefully see it
and we can judge from there. Because the other thing
that I really really hate about discussions like this, and
it's an obscure thing to hate, but I hate it
a lot, and I think I've been saying it throughout
the fill In Show today, so I'll try to be
more original tomorrow. But I hate how stupid most news
outlets want to treat their audience, and it's stupid in
two different avenues. It's stupid and assuming that you've already
come up with your answer, and as long as your
answer agrees with them, there's no reason to convince you
of anything else or even tell you anything else. If
you've been brainwashed enough by whatever it is they've said
so far, then they need to keep any facts from
you that might actually convince you to rethink what you
believe on any story whatsoever, or that if they tell
you enough stuff that isn't true, you'll just believe it,
or if they tell you something that is true, it'll
radicalize you, like all the avenues to essentially say, you're
an idiot, and the only way for them to protect
you is for them to control everything as far as
information goes, and you to control nothing. And I really
hate that. And I think when people retreat to their
corners on stories where we don't know all the information,
whatever the story might be, and whatever corner you're retreating to,
it validates some aspect of that approach from mainstream media.
It validates the version of what we got to be
safe because we don't know how insane the people are
going to take this, or the crazy ones what they'll
do next. I mean, literally, someone tried to bomb an
ice FACI or did actually set off a bomb at
an Ice facility in Manhattan that that happened today, and
that I think could be a.
Speaker 1: Direct effect of the cause.
Speaker 2: That is, all of the people who say horrible things
about Ice all the time that radicalize people. But even
as I say that, and even as I believe in
the importance of free speech the ability for us to
say anything and everything, I want to also believe in
the ability for us to buy and large be intelligent people,
and that I think the biggest thing that could truly
radicalize someone is the things that they think are being
kept from them, the information, the conversations, the stories, the secrets,
the whatever it have you that they think is actually
true that no one is willing to tell them and
reporting them on. And the reason so many people think
that is because it's real, because it happens all the
time where you see these stories where it's an incomplete
version of events and they did it on purpose, and
when you finally understand that it was incomplete on purpose,
you can no longer trust them. That's the reason that
so often we look down every rabbit hole for what
we think is more likely to be the truth, because
the first thing we hear we always assume is a lie.
I want to shift gears. I do like this missus
Bill Maher on ABC this week talking about the likelihood
that he would vote for JD. Vance or could vote
for Jdvans, or at least his vote I think is
up for anybody to win.
Speaker 1: It's up for grabs, is the way he said it.
Speaker 2: And how little ABC this Week's John Carl seemed to
like this discussion, like how upset he was that one
of their own, one of the original crazy radical lefties,
is now saying some things that aren't exactly as crazy
radical because the lefties got even worse, they went even
further into their corner. And even though mar says that
he isn't worried about democratic success in twenty twenty six,
which I think is weird because I think the platform
is almost identical right now to what it will be
in two years, that he's very worried about twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 5: So I think the Democrat will do very well in
the midterms. Twenty twenty eight is a different story because
by then this wing of the party, this new wing,
with all the energy, and it's not just a few
people anymore. I read every day I read about a
new person in some Colorado and Wisconsin. Somebody who is
saying some variation of not defund the police, abolish right
the police, no prisons, no police. What world did they
think we could possibly live in under these conditions?
Speaker 1: A horrible one.
Speaker 5: This is just a level of nutty that I'm so
glad that whenever it was I was like, no, I'm
not going along, because this is where it ends.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is absolutely where it ends.
Speaker 2: This is the crazy version of what woke essentially becomes.
And you might say that that's not the rabbit hole
we go down. But I've been in some rooms at
some times in my life where you walk in and
they're like, this is a safe space, and everybody's opinion matters,
and then at some point someone says a truly crazy
thing like I'm a woman, when they're clearly dude, and
all the people in the room are like, yes, you're
a woman, and it's like, what are we doing? What's
happening here? This is the extension of that. This is
the no idea can be bad as long as it's
not on the Republican side of the aisle. So let's
go ahead and take over industries. Let's go ahead and
do everything that the communists do. Let's claim it's not
communism and then watch how it goes just as terrible
as actual communism goes, because that's all it is.
Speaker 1: Here's a little bit more.
Speaker 4: You told Jade Vance you're open. Your vote is up
for grabs.
Speaker 5: Huh, Yes, my vote is in play because it can't
be Trump running. So Trump, I'm not living in communist America.
Speaker 1: I do love that he had to work that in.
Speaker 2: By the way, he'll admit that he might vote for
somebody in twenty twenty eight, but he does hate true.
Speaker 5: I mean, I know the talking point is that it's
not communism and socialism. Okay, I've read the quotes from
the DSAY platform from their own mouths. Don't tell me
I'm not seeing what I am seeing. And DSA again,
they say things like, you know, takeover of key industries government,
that's communism. You know there is a definition.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is it.
Speaker 2: That is the identical is the exact definition of communism.
I loved every part of that conversation and the way
it went and how much Carl seem to really hate
it because it's just honest and it is what we're seeing,
all right. I have one other clip from John Carl
where he actually did push back in a Democrat.
Speaker 1: I do want to play that at some point.
Speaker 2: I won't play it right now because I think we're
up in a break, but I did like it. A
Democrat was lying about how voting works in a democratic
run state and he got caught on live television saying
a thing that isn't true and trying to pretend as
though the Save Act isn't actually beneficial and what most
Americans want. But that's coming up in a bit a
quick break and a lot more. This is Craig Collins
filling in on the Danish show.
Speaker 6: 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
of a balanced, diversified portfolio. They're tangible assets that you
can actually hold, and they've helped people preserve wealth for generations.
If you're wondering whether precious metals belong in your financial plan,
I recommend talking with Noble Gold Investments. For nearly a decade,

Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 2: My name is Craig Collins, filling in at d Lash,
Dana Lash Radio and X if you want to follow
her at radio Gregzi. If you want to find me
on any of the social media's I'm on. I think
Facebook has some kind of audience A lot of others don't,
but feel free. I'd love to have you there, and
I promised to do almost nothing on that. This is
such a bad way to sell it, all right, moving on,
mayor Mum. Donnie the crazy insane socialist slash communist, whatever
you want to call him a person, has recently an interview,
said that he'd like to arrest BB, Benjamin Nett and Yahoo.
When he came to this when he comes to this
country to talk to not him.
Speaker 1: A couple things about this topic.
Speaker 2: First, there was a called off meeting between a representative
for New York that works from Donnie and someone from Israel.
A House Republican led kind of investigation into this. The
US Department of Justice was looking into whether or not
it was a violation of the Logan Act, which.
Speaker 1: It definitely would have been had it actually occurred.
Speaker 2: It was crazy though they wanted someone in New York
City's International Commissioner of International Affairs, Anna Maria Arkilla ar Chilla,
I don't even know how to say her last name,
and Aron's US ambassador to meet and just us kinds
of things and then inevitably involve a discussion that would
center around Israel. It was just it was surreal to
hear and think about that. And then you have this
where may Or Mum Donnie says that he thinks about
putting Benjamin net Yahoo in jail, which would be a
breaking of a ton of different laws international and otherwise
here we.
Speaker 7: Go Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya, who is perhaps planning
to visit New York for the You and General Assembly.
You pledged during your campaign and after you won, to
order his arrest to comply within International Criminal Court warrant.
What will happen if he comes in September.
Speaker 8: I believe that Prime Minster Netanyawe, who belongs in the Hague,
he's a war criminal who has been charged by the
International Criminal Court. And what you will find is that
as an opinion that is held by many purely because
of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.
I've also said that I will follow the laws that
we have here in New York City because I believe
that there's an importance in following the law as a leader,
do you who presides over our city? And that's something
that I plan to do.
Speaker 7: Meaning I'm sorry, I don't understand what that means.
Speaker 2: I do like, even though it's the New York Times
and I don't like the vast majority of this interview
in the way that it was conducted. I do like
the follow up here, obviously, because the leftist person interviewing
him wants him to say, maybe he will arrest something.
Speaker 8: Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City,
that's what we will do. But we won't be writing
our own laws.
Speaker 7: To that end, what does the law allow you to do?
Speaker 8: That's an active conversation with our legal department in seeing
what the prospects, sorry we have here in our municipality.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll answer that for you. Nothing.
Speaker 2: You can't do anything. And it's not just the laws
in New York City. It's the laws a lot of
other places, including what it would mean here in the
United States and how it would break a bunch of
other laws internationally. Like, it's just it's a crazy thing
to say and to keep saying. And the whole point
is to say it. It's not to actually do it,
because he knows actually doing it would be horrible. But
if you're looking for a reason that people do things
like bomb ice facilities in Manhattan, this is the reason
people who knowingly say something that they're saying for just
political reasons that they have no avenue to actually do,
and when they're pressed on it, even in a friendly
interview from their side, I try to avoid the being
pressed by additional versions of we're thinking about it, we're
looking into it. This is the thing that can help
radicalize people. I don't want a censor speech.
Speaker 1: I never do.
Speaker 2: I know a whole lot of people don't. I am
definitely in the group of people who don't want to
censor speech. But I do think there's a way that
you can at least tell the people who are to
be held accountable for this stuff that they deserve to
be held accountable, especially when those are the individuals yelling
from the rooftops the loudest of anyone that they think
it's Trump's fault because of this, or Trump's fault because
of that, or whatever fear mongering thing they say is
going to happen that we're not actually seeing in society.
By and large, the people who are violent right now
are the left, and they've been violent in all kinds
of horrific ways, no much less than what happened today
with the attempt to bomb an ice building in Manhattan.
As I said before, and I'll probably keep talking about
later on in the show, I do want to play
this audio that went very viral over the weekend.
Speaker 1: It's pretty great.
Speaker 2: This is Fox News Martha McCallum pushing another New York
representative in New York City DSA co chair, Gustavo Gordio,
who was saying that he thinks that the big reason
that some people flee certain countries, like his family had
to leave Peru is because of the invasion of US
ideals into those places. And my favorite part is where
he says, people go and Martha was not having it,
as she shouldn't because it made absolutely no sense.
Speaker 9: Heather, your family came here from Peru really in the
middle of the heat of the Shining Path. They were
Maoist communists, gorillas in Peru. So why did your family
come to America.
Speaker 10: The economics of tradition in South America and in Peru
was in a really bad place. But I think that
much of what we could say is responsible for that.
Actually it was the imposition of capitalism and American imperialism
what in many cases is actually what brings immigrants to
the US outside coming out of Latin America, and they.
Speaker 9: Come here because they don't like the imposition of American
imperialism in the country that they're in.
Speaker 10: Yes, in many countries, how they come here in many countries?
Speaker 2: You know, I love the way you laugh at that,
like that literally doesn't make any sense. That is the
craziest way to describe a decision that people make. They're like, man,
I hate all these ideals of America that are invading
my country.
Speaker 1: Let me move to the place that has all those
ideals and try to live there illegally.
Speaker 2: Like, let me enhance the problem by running away from
the thing to something a better version of it that
also inevitably allows me to have no rights when I
get there, and then demand rights and hope that things
go well because it is America and we're way more
lenient than most places are.
Speaker 1: During this conversation. We shouldn't be.
Speaker 2: We should be holding up laws and enforcing them. You
know this, and I know this. But because of the
ridiculous understanding that we will at least be somewhat understanding
when people get here, we'll be willing to have the
discussion that we shouldn't be having. They run to us,
and they try to get covered by even more of
our ideals and the things that make this country what
it is. It's crazy, crazy, crazy. I actually love another
piece of audio that's out there that producer Steven sent me.
James Tallerico, of course, a person running for Senate in
Texas who is insane. Recently, Ken Paxton, the person running
against him, I did an interview and said, the Texans
really just need to hear all the crazy things that
this person says and thinks, because the more crazy stuff
we get out there, the more unlikely it is that
the person can actually win in that Tall Rico could
win here in Texas because it's just so far, it's
so antithetical to the things that this state believes in
as a whole. And honestly, the best thing that tall
Rico is trying to do to respond to that, and
it's a terrible attempt, is pretend he didn't say this stuff,
or pretend that his opinion has changed. When a vast
majority of the things he said he said them like
two or three years ago. It's not like these are
things he said ten to fifteen years ago. They are
things that he said somewhat recently.
Speaker 1: But I loved this. He was speaking to.
Speaker 2: A crowd, and a woman in the crowd, a black woman,
if you care to know her race. I don't know
why you need to know that, but people always need
to know these things. Stood up and was yelling at
him because he seemed like he was going to try
to skip out on a whole lot of the question.
Part of being in a place and answering questions that
people were asking him because they were harder than he
thought they'd be.
Speaker 1: I love so much of this, it's so good.
Speaker 2: And I also love the dumb way that tall Rico
is trying to pretend he's excited to be challenged because
he's obviously not.
Speaker 1: And he was trying to leave you stay here, and.
Speaker 11: I'm happy to engage.
Speaker 1: We'll come to here in just a second.
Speaker 12: I appreciate you, Bebia, and I appreciate you traveling again,
and I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: That's great, and.
Speaker 13: So it's all right, that's right, this is this is
what this conversation is supposed to be about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get to the real questions. Let's get to
the real fight. And he's like, this is what it's
supposed to be about, and it's so dumb. And I
love what she yelled at him. She's like, I did
not come here for you. I came here to represent
my people, the people I know and I care about,
who don't like a lot of the things that you're
saying and want an explanation to a lot of the
crazy stuff you said, whether that's about religion. Uh, And
he said all kinds of crazy stuff there. He thinks
that God is non binary, as one of several examples,
he thinks the birth of Jesus and the story of
Mary is a demonstration that the Bible is okay with abortion.
That's a real thing that he said in thought, and
just so many other crazy things out there that definitely
questions are deserved to be asked.
Speaker 1: Everywhere he goes, every stop.
Speaker 2: In his campaign trail by a whole bunch of people
who probably can't fathom ever voting for him. All Right,
one last thing and then I'll take another break. This
is Scott Jennings. He is seeming to be shocked. Flabbergasted,
I think was the word that they used in social
media in a debate with another Democrat about communism. Just
I love the way that people just reinvent certain stuff.
Whether it's the example we just played a second ago
about pretending that someone would flee Peru because of American
capitalism invading Peru and come to the United States of America,
like they pretend that's true somehow, when it's absolutely crazy
and ridiculous and can't possibly make any sense whatsoever. But
not just that, also this when they say that socialism
is something that they think is somehow built by the
United States of America and Scott Jennings and CNN is
the voice of reason is trying to help his brain
understand what the hell he's hearing.
Speaker 14: Mindy of the nineteen thirties, I couldn't agree with you, for.
Speaker 15: There is no question that the anti fascism is also rising,
and the fascists were on our shore back then. And
what we what we're committed to now is citing what socialists.
I mean, the idea of having hell sare that everyone
is socialist Americans. Oh, they're the samely different because I
think socialism. TVA, where I'm from East Tennessee was built
by socialism.
Speaker 14: The TVA was built by it. Oak Ridge was built
by it. Factories were built by IT. Alco built by
socialist America.
Speaker 15: Absolutely, government workers ninety percent of the people that built
those days.
Speaker 14: Government does not the same as setting socialism.
Speaker 15: So if it's not the government doing the work and
the government building things for the people and then keeping
ownership of it, if that's not what socialism is, then
what is it?
Speaker 1: You tell me?
Speaker 15: If it's not direct employees building.
Speaker 16: You're saying any You're saying any level of or any
amount of socialism.
Speaker 15: I think your guys are actually don't.
Speaker 4: We're not.
Speaker 16: You have a whole faction of your party called Democratic
Socialists of America who are running on things well beyond
basic government services.
Speaker 14: They're running on absolute and total radical.
Speaker 2: Animal They're running on government taking control of industries that
have no involvement or little involvement from government to begin with.
That is very different than any version of someone being
employed by our government to do anything. It's it's profoundly different,
in fact, because the government would be in that same space,
competing with these places for some of these things. And
that's just one of several reasons that this is uniquely
stupid to hear someone say, but yeah, any version of
government work to some people is socialism, or at least
it's a convenient argument they're going to make, because it's
this is the goalpost being moved in whatever direction they
see fit to pretend as though we're already doing it.
This is the newest argument on the democratic side of
the aisle. Socialism already exists, Let's just do it more
here in this country, which is terrifying and beyond dump
to hear someone say, I love how Jennings' brain simply
couldn't totally process what he was hearing like he objected
to it, fine, but part of him was like, I
don't even know how this person's alive right now and
using their brain to think because of what they're claiming.
All right, quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling

Speaker 1: This is the Dana schell.
Speaker 2: My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about,
including a Democrat to run to replace Graham Platner. That's
a dude that says he has a period in a
place that may well no place on a man makes
any sense, But I'll probably get to that at some
point here. It's a ridiculous story, but let's start with
real news, actual news. First, A suspect is in custody
who tried to bomb an ice facility in Manhattan. I
have both Fox Local in New York talking about this.
They're showing you some stuff on the screen that I'll
describe to you as well, and then an update from
Fox News on this too. You hear it a lot,
people say it a lot that the left is the
side that's being overwhelmingly violent, not the right, even though
for years the left said that they were afraid of
the right and how violent they thought we would be.
But this is yet another example of the left not
only doing something that is inherently horrible and dangerous and
violent and intent to kill a whole lot of people,
but then they also pretend that there's some.
Speaker 1: Way to excuse this type of behavior.
Speaker 2: However much they do it, whether they fully do it
or partially do it, all the time, it seems they're
looking toward an avenue to say something that somehow makes
this okay.
Speaker 17: But here we go, and bones we are tracking breaking news.
You can see it right here. This is out of
Lower Manhattan. You can see the smoke that's rising from
the ground, A security guard walking out and the officer,
maybe a courtroom official who's also just walked out there.
This is a troubling incident outside of one of the
most sensitive federal buildings in New York City.
Speaker 15: This morning.
Speaker 17: It looks like fireworks apparently sparked a fire near twenty
six Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, that's not what happened. It was
a bomb. I'll talk about this just briefly before I
hit play on the audio, the update on what's happening
to the person in custody. But several times when I
have discussions with people about gun rights, one of the
things that they always tell me, if they're on the
crazy left side of not caring that the Second Amendment
was written for a reason, one of the things they
usually say is that removing guns in our country, they
really did, it would lower violence. And there's no reason
to believe even remotely that that's true. And one thing
I often point to is a decade in which they
did try to change some of the rules involving guns
and automatic weapons and whatever they call these things, and
it had no zero impact. According to an independent study
on the amount of harm done in the United States
from one person to another person, And in fact, in
the late nineties and early two thousands, there were a
lot of stories in the news about attempted bombings or sadly,
in some cases, successful bombing. So this is inevitably the
road people would go. If crazy people want to hurt people,
then either don't have access to or don't care about
having access to a certain type of thing to do that,
they'll use something else. That is the part that the
Left seems to profoundly fail to understand, outside of even
the obvious need to keep the Second Amendment exactly how
it is.
Speaker 1: Here is the update from.
Speaker 2: Fox News on what is happening next. He will be
charged with an anti government attack type of claim, because
absolutely he's a leftist crazy dirtback.
Speaker 13: My Terrorism Task Force is investigating this as an anti
government attack. Take a look. We have some video from
the scene as smoke was billowing outside the federal building
in downtown Manhattan. So this is where ice offices and
immigration courts are located, as well as the New York
City FBI Field office, and you just saw agents took
a man into custody. The FBI says two people are
injured from this attack.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's disgusting and it's terrible. And we see this
all the time, where this is the side of the
aisle that actually does the thing that everybody claims was
supposed to happen in the other way, and they continue
to pretend as though it's not occurring, or in a
lot of cases, they defend the people who do it,
whether it's the disgusting ways in which some defend the
person who killed Charlie Kirk or is accused of killing
Charlie Kirk that a whole lot of us think definitely
did it, or anyone else out there, even the crazy
ways in which they praise people who gunn down CEOs
of organizations on the street. That is the violent side.
You know it, I know it. We constantly see it.
By the way, Senator Fetterman, one of the only Democrats
whoever occasionally says things that make sense and that I
agree with, is saying that he's seeing a whole lot
of people become more and more anti Semitic on the left,
and that's obviously bad. And then he uniquely targets Hassan Piker,
who's obviously also a terrible person.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 14: I believe that the Democratic Party is going to become
more anti Israel as long.
Speaker 1: As we're continue to do with that. You make that official,
and you make that part of our platform. That's my
red line.
Speaker 4: In the Democratic Party.
Speaker 16: They campaign with garbage like Hassan Piker that's pro Hamas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're actually pro Hamas. And Fox continues to react
to that right after that. But it's true, and they
surround themselves with people like Graham Platner, who is insane
and has a literal Nazi tattoo. And it isn't after
a woman comes forward to accuse him of rape if
she's a Republican. It's after a woman comes forward and
accuses him of rape who's a Liberal, that eventually they listen,
take any kind of notice, and decide to do something
anything about that. Although the people who are potentially replacing Platner,
my god, Ashley Webb is probably the best of them,
and I referenced it right at the start of the show,
so I'll just talk about it a little bit now.
He is a transgender woman, or at least he claims
to be a woman. If you've seen the person, you're
not exactly confused as to the gender of the individual.
But it's not just that the thing that Ashley Webb
is saying that made a lot of people scratch their
heads is a claim that he has a time of
the month that he goes through the same thing that
actual women go through every month, and he claimed it
happened on the backside of his lower body.
Speaker 1: That's as far as I'm going to go. I guess
or rectum can be used.
Speaker 2: This is absolutely ridiculous and crazy that they say these
sort of things, and they say them with a straight face.
Speaker 1: And they want everyone around them to pretend as though
they're real.
Speaker 2: And the worst thing that society does right now for
individuals like this is it pretends they're insanity is accurate.
Here's a little bit of Ashley Webb but a recent
debate debate, saying that he wants to go in whatever
bathroom he gets to go in. And again, if you
saw this person go into the ladies room after your
child went in with your wife or something, you would
immediately be in there making sure that you were taking
your family out or trying to beat the crap out
of this person for going in. It's it's ludicrous to
me that we talk about this stuff the way that
we do.
Speaker 18: But here we go, and then what with the trans community,
like we're being dehumanized. They say that we want to
hurt people. I don't want to hurt anybody. I just
want to use the bathroom. And if they want me
to use the men's room, I will. I don't want
to be assaulted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not going to be assault in the men's room.
You can use the men's room. That is what we
want you to do, and that'll be fine. And I
like the fact that he actually says it. He's like,
I will if I have to, but I don't want to.
It's crazy, It's insane, and I don't know when that
insanity ends. But these are the people coming forward to
potentially replace Graham Plattner, which just shows you how broken
and actually Bill Maher of all people, was talking about
this the Democratic Party is. I really do like the
mar audio. He did a sit down interview with ABC.
And if you've ever thought I don't actually agree with this,
by the way, but if you've ever thought that, like
certain broadcast television stations may deserve to have their license
at least evaluated for being so incapable of being in
the middle on almost any topic, this might be one
of several really good examples outside of just the view
and what they are. I love how surprised that it
sounded like John Carl was well doing a sit down
interview with Bill Maher and asking about whether or not
he could potentially vote for jd Vance, Like, I know
it's a little bit of a rabbit hole thing to
describe it on the show, but to me, it's hilarious
to watch someone be.
Speaker 1: Like, did you really mean that?
Speaker 2: You're someone who we like occasionally on the left, although
sometimes we don't like you now because.
Speaker 1: You refuse to go super woke, but you're still very woke.
Speaker 2: You still hate Trump a whole lot. So at least
we'll listen to you. How could you possibly not vote
for our side? And here's what mar said.
Speaker 4: You told jd Vance you're open, Your vote is up
for grabs.
Speaker 5: Yes, my vote is in play because it can't be
Trump running. So I'm not living in communist America. I mean,
I know me neither. The talking point is that it's
not communism and socialism. Okay, I've read the quotes from
the dsay on platform from their own mouths. Don't tell
me I'm not seeing what I am seeing and DSA again.
They say things like, you know, takeover of key industries government,
that's communism. You know, there is a definition.
Speaker 2: This is the I'm not gonna let him do the
Trump follow up question. This is the exact definition of communism.
And I love that mar is willing to say it
that he's seen the paper, he's seen the work, and
he knows where it leads. And the only people who
seem to genuinely think this is a good idea are morons.
What I mean by that is there people who have
no understanding of history, of the countless examples of communism
horribly failing again and again and again. Anyone else that's
saying that this is a good thing, who seems to
actually comprehend history is doing it for very bad in
my case, evil. I think reasons in which they would
do all the terrible things that we've seen before. But
it's either or you can choose your own adventure. If
someone you know says to you that the Democratic Socialist
Party is pretty good and they would do great things,
they obviously have not done anything to understand where that
andaly leads. Or are there somebody who's in on it
and wants a whole bunch of benefits for just them
and no one else because of it.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't happen.
Speaker 2: By and large, the vast majority of people suffer greatly,
as you and I both know, as people who are
not idiots.
Speaker 1: It's just amazing to watch it keep going. It truly is.
Speaker 2: I have conversations I'll say this quick before I take
a break with younger people occasionally, Like there's people I
work with who are in their twenties, or there's people
that you know are in my family that are of
a certain age, and you have conversations occasionally with them
where you're sitting there wondering what you do. Do you
confront the thing that they said that's insane and ludicrous,
which is often the path I choose to go. Do
you ignore it? Do you pretend it didn't happen?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 1: What do you do?
Speaker 2: And so very often it fails a basic historical understanding test.
I like, when I've been told certain things about how
terrible it is for people to be of certain faiths.
I have somebody I know that often tells me how
horrible everyone whose Christian is And I sit there and
I'm like, ah, you think that because and then the
further we go down that rabbit hole, the more ridiculous
the argument becomes. And eventually you just say, you read
that somewhere and you don't even know what you're saying,
because that happens so so often, and it absolutely happens
in the case of people that think the Democratic Socialist
Party would do anything good for us at all and
not things good for them. Here's the easy way that
I say it, and I've been told I should say
it this way more. Most Americans on both sides of
the political aisle, agree that the government is doing very
little to benefit us. They're doing a whole lot to
benefit themselves. A lot of people are them first. Very
few people are America first. And what would we be
doing if we allowed the socialists to take over. We'd
be giving that small group of people that none of
us thinks cares about us more power, more capability, more control,
and inevitably more of our money. That is the response
some people want to take to Washington is failing you
and me. They want to make it worse, and I
don't know how they don't comprehend that. And I'm assuming
most people listen to the show obviously do Quick Break
a lot coming up. Thrilled to be with you. Craig
Collins filling in on the Dana.
Speaker 6: Show as we move our partners that will bring you
the program. It's the folks over at super Beats. They
have a new flavor, watermelon flavor. So if you're going
to take care of your heart, don't settle for gimmicks,
don't settle for imitators, go for the real thing. The
company Human, which is based out of UT's Health Science Center.
They created Superbeats right the two Choose a Day is All.
It takes back by real science. Now they have a
limited edition watermelon flavor. It is so good. I just
got my bag this week. They've been the number one
beat brand, Superbats in America for ten straight years, trusted
by more doctors, pharmacist, and cardiologists than any other knockoff
pretend brand that's out there. They it's all about maximizing
healthy blood flow, which supports heart health, healthy blood pressure, circulation,
daily energy. Two super Beats Choose a Day is all.
It takes clinically studied ingredients that don't include, by the way,
caffeine or additives or added sugar, all shown to deliver
nearly two times more effective blood pressure support than diet
and exercise alone. Watermelon Flavor is new, great for summer,
but it's limited edition, so when it's gone, it is gone.

Speaker 1: This is the Data Show.
Speaker 2: My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A lot out there to talk about. AOC
was in Memphis and tried out a brand new accent
that is offensive to a lot of people on anybody
from the South, and hopefully to a lot of black people,
because it's not at all the way she talks, and
yet she spoke this way.
Speaker 1: You see this so often, especially.
Speaker 2: From Democrats, they flip the way that they pronounce certain
words or say certain things because they think they think
it makes them more interesting or you know, it ingratiates
them with the audience they're talking to. It should really
just defend all of us from an intelligence standpoint, like
you don't even have to be of the way that
people get for any other reason. It could just be like,
do you think I'm stupid enough to think you actually
sound like this when you're talking normally, and that you
think I would support you or vote for you just
because you're trying to sound more like me, even if
it's a terrible accent.
Speaker 1: But here we go.
Speaker 19: We cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind behind. We cannot
afford to leave Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Why,
Georgia behind, South Carolina behind?
Speaker 12: Why?
Speaker 2: Is what my reaction is every time I see this,
whether it's Hillary Clinton, even Jasmine Crockett here in Texas
flips between one accent and another accent depending on who
she's talking to, Like, why what part of the people
there are like, yeah, do the accent like us?
Speaker 1: We're so happy about it. It's so strange.
Speaker 2: And I guess the one assumption you could make is
that someone might not think that they're famous enough for
people to know how they sound. But that's the only
that someone should be tricked and be like, wait a minute,
AOC's never said behind like that before until she was
talking to people in Memphis, Tennessee, and then all of
a sudden she went a different road, Like I'd be
embarrassed for me if I did this, If I was
running for a political office of any kind, which sounds horrible.
Speaker 1: I actually love the way Dana jokes about how terrible of.
Speaker 2: A politician she'd be, because I'd be awful too. I'm
sure I would be, and I'd be very aggressive in
a lot of ways that I shouldn't be. I probably
should never have a political gig, But nonetheless, if I
did have one and I went to go campaign somewhere
and I looked around at the crowd and I thought
they all looked like they were from a certain place,
or that they sounded a certain way, and I tried
to throw that accent on, I would be embarrassed.
Speaker 1: I should be embarrassed. Humility at all, like.
Speaker 2: A smidgeon of it is one of the most missing
things for politicians. The arrogance and stupidity of these people,
the way they behave, just the overall things that I
least can stand about. What becomes of people who wind
up in DC for some amount of time as political
you know, individuals. It corrupts so so many in so
many ways, and convinces them that they're so much more
elite than everyone else, that everything they do is great.
But this is probably one of the most egregious of
those sins that you see, just because it's so unforced.
You don't need to do this. You could sound normal,
say things that they agree with, and people will support
you and like you. You could say things they disagree
with and people will not like you, but you don't
have to try to sound like them to win over
anybody in the middle.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna work. That's how I would say it,
all right. Lindsay Graham's sister is in the news.
Speaker 2: Of course, the tragic passing of lynd like the surprising
sudden passing of Lindsay Graham, recently caused Darlene Graham to
be a name that more people know. She was raised
by her brother. Their parents passed away when she was
still a young woman, a teenager I think, or maybe
even a preteen, and Lindsay raised her when he was
in his twenties. So there is a unique, important and
sort of like, you know, emotionally touching connection between the
two people. And it made the appointment of Darlene Graham
pretty cool. I think a lot of people even got
somewhat emotional when they saw her actually becoming a US
senator because she was filling the role that her brother
had some.
Speaker 1: Time left in when he passed away.
Speaker 2: Now Darlene is saying the surprising thing, the thing that
I think a lot of people when they heard she
was being appointed, didn't expect her to say, and it's
that she's.
Speaker 1: Running for the whole thing. Baby, She's going.
Speaker 2: She wants to be the Senator in South Carolina moving forward,
So she is in. I actually think this is great.
I don't know what she'll be as a politician. I
don't know how much she'll deviate from what Lindsay Graham
voted for and did when he was in the Senate.
I don't know how her candidacy will feel, say, when
it's actually time to run for reelection, which is basically
now and not at the beginning stages of inheriting the job.
I've been getting to make the decisions and what will
become of that. So I can't tell you that she's
someone that I inevitably would vote for right now if
I were living in South Carolina, which I'm not, because
we don't know much about her as a politician and
we're going to see that. But I will tell you
that there's a lot of people that say that Darlene
Graham has been an incredible.
Speaker 1: Advocate for disability.
Speaker 2: She's been in charge of organizations deeply connected to the blind.
She's someone that many people who've worked with her have
said is sort of like a natural leader and whatnot.
And the only thing I took away from some of
these deep dives into her career and what she's actually
done and the places she's worked and I think this
was like PBS that put this out there, is how
much she should probably be liked, at least right now
by the left. The things that she could potentially advocate
for might be things that they really like. Now I imagine
I'm guessing, especially since she was appointed to serve in
the role that her brother was in, that she's going
to vote for a lot of things that Democrats do
not like and a lot of Republicans do.
Speaker 1: But we'll see.
Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham was a wild card occasionally in that world,
so maybe she'll act that way too. And I don't
know if it'd wind up losing her or garnering her
political support, But right now, I imagine support for her in
general is pretty high for an emotional reason and the
potential for her to be deeply connected to things that
Democrats claim they care about.
Speaker 1: Seems significant.
Speaker 2: It seems like it could be a vast component of
who she will be as a politician and what she'll
advocate for, again, help in the world of disability.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't really know what to
think of this.
Speaker 2: But I did like that she announced that she was
going to run, because I'd like to at least see that,
even if I think Nancy Mace or someone might inevitably
be a better candidate. And who knows who comes forward
and what they say. But here she is Unhannity at
least saying that she's in and she's going to want
to be a senator. Beyond this, you finishing out of
a term.
Speaker 11: The President again saying I hope Darlene does this, meaning
I hope you will get And here's the filing deadline
for people that don't know, and these are just the
laws of South Carolina. The filing begins tomorrow. I think
you have a week, yes, and by that time the
funerals won't even have taken place, I know. And then
the President putting an ask on you will put it
that way. It's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 20: It is a tremendous amount of pressure.
Speaker 11: Tell me what's going through you ahead about it, and
where do you stand now?
Speaker 20: I've been I'll continue to say, I've been praying a lot,
talking to my family, but with the love of my family,
with the support of his staff. I know I'm a
hard worker. I'll learned that from Lindsay. He cared about
the people of this state. I've worked for almost thirty
years for the people of this state.
Speaker 11: I want to talk about that in a minute.
Speaker 20: I feel like I can do it. I feel an
inner piece about it. Will it be difficult, yes.
Speaker 11: Absolutely inclined to get in or have you even made
a final decision.
Speaker 20: I've made a decision.
Speaker 21: You're in.
Speaker 9: I'm in.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. That's incredible to hear her say. And again
President Trump is pushing for it, I think partially because
the belief would be that she'll a mirror many things
that Lindsay was passionate about. I certainly supportive, say the
Save Act among those things.
Speaker 1: We'll see.
Speaker 2: I will see what inevitably comes of the person when
given the political strings to go whatever road she wants
to go. And I'm not saying that I expect bad
things from her, and she does have a unique amount
of credibility in the places she's been in the length
of time she's been there, and the advancement the positions
of leadership that she's been given. Again, a lot of
it working in the world of disability and specifically with
the blind. But she has been a public servant, just
not in the world of being an elected politician. So
we will see what happens there. But I kind of
think I didn't know Lindsay Graham at all. I'm not
going to pretend to know many of these people will
filling in on the show, but I'll tell you that
I kind of think Lindsay would want.
Speaker 1: This, that the story that is told.
Speaker 2: About the two of them, about their upbringing, about his
raising her when they tragically had lost their parents. I
think this is probably the inevitable next step that you'd
want someone in your family that you were so closely
tied to growing up to kind of take over for you,
beyond doing it in the short term. And I remember, actually,
right when she first was announced as the person that
was going to take over the remainder of Lindsey Graham's term,
part of me thought that she might actually run. And
I remember I think I said that in Houston KSV Radio,
which is a Dana affiliate that I work on, and
I threw it out there and I had some people
tell me they really didn't think that was going to happen,
come on now, but it is. It seems like it is,
and I'm not terribly surprised in this outcome. I don't
know if she'll win. I'm not telling you that I
think she'll win. I think a lot of that will
be dictated unfortunately and maybe even a little unfairly by
the short amount of time she's in the role in
what she.
Speaker 1: Does with it.
Speaker 2: But we'll see, we'll see, all right. One last thing
I do want to play before we take a break.
This is a moment on ABC this week that I
didn't actually hate. John Carl did press a Democrat at
least a little on something, and I thought this was awesome.
A Democrat was claiming that you need a ID to
vote in Virginia, and John Carl was like, oh, what
did you say there? And he actually objected to it,
and just the stuttering, frantic, attempted explanation. After you get
caught in a lie in a place that you don't
expect to have your lies fact checked in real time.
Speaker 22: Like.
Speaker 2: That's the thing that always amuses me is that when
somebody on the left in the world of media, however
far left you know, slightly left or far left that
they are, whenever they actually do their job, it seems
to jar the people in democratic circles that refuse to
go on stuff on the right. Most of these people
say no to interviews, even with people like Bill Maher,
and then when they go on an interview that they
think is going to be friendly and they have to
answer a tough question, they turn into a pile of
mush And it is so amusing and so I don't know,
probably pleasing to watch.
Speaker 4: Here we go, Oh, idea, a registered to vote, to vote?
Is this something that Democrats should get behind. We have
eighty percent of American seventy one percent of Democrats say
they favor this right.
Speaker 21: You know what, in Virginia we have voter voter ID
and photo ID. I got to show my.
Speaker 4: That's actually not the case. I mean, I'm a Virginia voter.
You don't need to show a photo ID in Virginia,
you are. There a wide range of things you can
show for ID.
Speaker 2: Look, I gotta stab it right there before I even
keep going. I feel like if Carl wasn't even a
voter in Virginia, he might not have even said this.
The fact that he himself votes there made this the
kind of thing each out.
Speaker 4: And if you don't show one of those who can
sign an off David's, those.
Speaker 21: Becomes those become ballots that if you want to contest later,
can be contested. But you are have you do have
a variety of doctees, but we have voter I d
You don't of one form or another.
Speaker 1: No, it's not the same thing.
Speaker 4: Should that be a national standard?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 1: I loved it so much? And then he moves on.
Speaker 2: Carl doesn't keep making him squirm, which most of us
on the actual right would do, because how ridiculous the
statement was.
Speaker 1: But one form or another.
Speaker 2: And if you live in places like California, that form
of ID could be a gym membership without your photo
on it. If you have that when you show up
to vote in California, totally fine, go ahead and punch
that ballot.
Speaker 23: Baby.
Speaker 2: That's what they do. They do it all over the place.
They know they do it, and they barely ever expect
to be questioned by the side that they choose to
interview them, and the side that they reject from interviewing
them they're terrified of and they want to accuse of
being horrible terrible line people because they know they'd get
more than one challenging question. I quick break. A little
bit more coming up. Creig Collin's filling in on the

Speaker 3: And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 2: That's right, it's time for a quick five on the
Dana Show. A d Lash Dana Lash Radio an x
A great ways to stay connected to her. I saw
a crazy story out of North Dakota. Two men said
that they were switched at birth. Both guys are thirty
eight now o Their names are Kyle and Jeremy. They
said they were the only two babies born in the
hospital on that day, and then one of the two
of them inevitably did the ancestry test and found out
that they were not actually in the biological family they
expected to be in, which has got to be insane
to discover. I here's a little bit of audio them
going viral on social media talking about the craziness of this.
Oh wait, hold on, I actually have to make sure
that you can hear that audio again.
Speaker 1: Does it give me one actually that now.
Speaker 15: I think Kyle and I were born in that hospital
that day.
Speaker 10: It's the only time we've ever been together.
Speaker 12: My aunt Martha and I were on ancestry dot com.
I had done further DNA testing on my raising mom,
Evelyn Newton that came out conclusively that you know, she
was biologically my brother's mom, but she didn't match with me.
On the platform, we kind of concluded and said, basically, look, Kyle,
you were switched at birth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 2: I'll say about this when the one of the two
guys says, my raising mom, that's a weird phrase. I'm
not attacking him because he's going through something crazy, but
I will say that, like the mom that raised you,
that's your mom.
Speaker 1: You probably call him that.
Speaker 2: I would call somebody that who took me from an
infant throughout my whole life, even if biologically we didn't match.
Speaker 1: But this is still surreal.
Speaker 2: And this is the kind of thing where, even from
like a health standpoint, you're gonna have to know some
historical stuff. I don't know what you actually are susceptible
of compared to what you thought you were maybe going
to have to be on the lookout for because you
thought you knew who your family was. I don't know
how this actually happens, to be honest too. I know
if you're only popping out two babies in a hospital
somewhere in North Dakota that it's probably not like a
very populous place.
Speaker 1: But even more so, I don't.
Speaker 2: Know how you do it, and I don't know at
what point, Like this is probably dark to think about,
but at what point the people are thinking, oh, maybe
we flipped them, like when the nurses put them down
or when somebody else.
Speaker 1: Is going to get them.
Speaker 2: Is there a moment where anybody acknowledges I might have
put the wrong one in the wrong place? And then
how much do you keep that secret to yourself until
people figured out? Nobody probably projected almost forty years ago
that it would be so commonplace for people to say,
take tests to figure out all of their ancestry, and
yet we all do and don't.
Speaker 1: I haven't done it yet. I know members of my
family that have.
Speaker 2: And after a story like this, I'm not saying I'm
curious about anything, but I feel like you should just
to make sure that a nurse didn't flip me at
a hospital with somebody else that's not actually me or
not actually part of my family.
Speaker 1: It is what it is.
Speaker 2: One other thing that I saw that I thought was interesting,
and I mentioned this before, I'm gonna go ahead and
pay it off. A guy named Paul was driving his
car when he noticed an SUV that had gone out
of control. It had a mom and a child in it,
and the guy decided to swing into action and be
the hero that this situation needed. He batmanned himself into
a news and I love it. I hear he is
talking about what it felt like to say I'm in
the right place at the right time, and I have
the thing needed to get this thing done.
Speaker 4: It was something I didn't even really think about. I
just did it.
Speaker 23: My rescue car, my betmobile, is a Kia Forte, perfect
for stopping cars. I saw the car bouncing on the wall,
her face was up out of it, eyes rolled back
in the back of her head, and I didn't want
anything to go south slowly guided her to a stop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he ran into her a little bit and then
slowly slowed both vehicles down, so everything was totally fine.
And at Kia Forte, which would by the way, be
one of the most hilarious vehicles for Batman to choose
if he had to choose one. But that's the version, Like,
that's the Adam West Batman to me, who takes a
vehicle from somebody on the side of the road and
just winds.
Speaker 1: Up in a key of Forte. A great job out
of this, dude.
Speaker 2: There are several cars I've had in my life that
I wish this would have been an option.
Speaker 1: I wish that this car could have had such.
Speaker 2: A heroic of an exit, including my most recent one,
my Jeep Cherokee nineteen ninety six Cherokee that made it
thirty years before going out about a year or so ago.
There was almost no floor left in the thing when
we inevitably got rid of it, and I still loved it.
I loved everything about that ninety six Jeep Cherokee because
it's the XJ for the JEP enthusiasts out there, you
know why. Those are awesome. But it would have been
great to have saved life as the end. I mean,
I can't fathom how awesome that would be to be like, yeah,
I don't have the car anymore, but I did save
a woman and a child. Because that feels as Batman
as anything would ever feel. And the young kid and
me who wore the Batman pajamas to bed. I would
be so so proud. Although right now I have a
better car, though i'd still save people, I'd be a
little sadder. How to watch this car go? All right,
we'll take a break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins
filling in on the Data Show. This is the Dana Show.
My name is Craig Collins.
Speaker 1: Filling in.
Speaker 2: Thrilled to be with you today and for a couple
of days, filling in for Dana. This is interesting to me.
Caitlyn Clark made a bunch of news over the weekend,
doing something that nobody in the WNBA has ever done. Now,
I'm gonna admit to you before I even playing this audio,
I'm not like regularly consuming the WNBA. And it's not
that I'm trying to act all like I don't care
at all about it or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know the right way to say this.
Speaker 2: I just don't necessarily think it's as entertaining as the NBA,
as the sports that I watch that I do, you know,
watch a lot more.
Speaker 1: I will throw out an exception.
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark happens to be entertaining mostly because of the
deep threes that she takes that I don't think a
lot of other people in this league are shooting to
begin with. And when she does things that nobody else
has done in this league, it becomes even more captivating.
And this is one of those things. Is she the
highest scorer this season in a single game?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Is she the highest scorer in the history of the WNBA, Like,
was this the most points anyone's ever scored?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 2: But if she breaks those records later on, who knows,
maybe people's eyeballs will gravitate more to the sport and
the way that it's played by the women who play it.
And I guess this is the only I'm already stuck
in this rabbit hole.
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep going. There's no dunks.
Speaker 2: No dunks is a thing that I wish we had
more of, even if there aren't that many in the
world of the NBA. I'd like just a couple, you know,
And I'd almost be okay with them doing something like
lower in the rim to get some dunks going in there.
That'd probably be sacrilege to a bunch of the ladies
who play the sport the way it's played.
Speaker 1: Right, now, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'd like to see an occasional person do something in
that world, and then i'd probably tune in more. But
Kaitlyn Clark's the closest I get to caring about a
sport that maybe hasn't had a lot of eyeballs for
a while. Now Here is Kaitlyn Clark in an interview
right after a game in which she broke a record,
saying she didn't care about it at all.
Speaker 1: I also thought this was.
Speaker 2: Great because there's a lot of people in the world
of sports or any other place that are going to
be asked a question like this and say, you know,
it's an honor, it's a privilege, thrilled for all the
people that have come before me to do something like that.
And she was very simplistically. I got a game tomorrow, man,
it doesn't matter. That's the most points by a Fever
player in a game in franchise history. I know you're
used to making history, but what does that one mean
to you?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's cool.
Speaker 22: I don't really care, and I know what I'm capable of,
and I know this team is capable of it. That's
my job to help us win and be the best
team of the WNBA, and I don't think we're there yet,
so it's high responsibility to help us get there, so
we'll keep working.
Speaker 2: I got to say this too, and I probably shouldn't,
but I feel like I will.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to say it.
Speaker 2: Her fiery competitiveness, the thing that's been getting her a
bunch of technicals, is something I also really like about
sports in general. I like when people behave the way
that she behaves. When you want to win so badly,
it seems like you want to rip the heart of
the person you're competing against out and stomp on it
on the ground. She seems to have that DNA and
that makeup and that answer alone start seems to demonstrate that,
at least to me. And it's amazing the WNBA hates
her and that the women of the WNBA voted her
the eleventh best guard in the league recently. Because the
way that you make the All Star team and the
WNBA is a combination of fan vote, I think, media vote,
and then actually the players themselves a vote in this thing.
It's just crazy to watch because she seems to be
the golden goose of this sport, the person that might
bring a bunch more eyeballs onto it, and then if
you watch it and you think, like Asia Wilson or
someone is actually incredible when you're watching the sport, there
you go. You've become a fan. It's the thing Michael
Jordan did for the NBA, and it's the reason that,
even though I started out as a ten year old
kid liking Michael Jordan, I know the names of a
crap ton of NBA players who played in the nineties.
Speaker 1: I know that because mj not just.
Speaker 2: Players who played on the Bulls, but players who played
the sport all over the place. And I recognize them
on TV now all the time and feel old when
I see them being the broadcasters who definitely can't hoop
any longer.
Speaker 1: But that is what it is.
Speaker 2: I don't know why they don't get it. One other
quick thing. I know we're almost out of time. I
do like this story, so I'm just gonna leave it
and you decide what to do with it. A Spam
has a brand new product that they're debuting out there.
They're calling it a hot product that they think you're
going to love. The spam Dog, which is a hot
dog made of spam, which seems like the purpose, the
perfect excuse me evolution of the spam product. I remember
as a kid going the road that it can only go,
which is the mystery meat wrote of a hot dog.
This is hilarious, and people are announcing it's the spam
comeback we've.
Speaker 1: All been waiting for.
Speaker 2: I have no idea who's actually been waiting for spam
to make any kind of comeback, or if it really
ever went anywhere. But I do love the fact that
this might be a thing that might be popular and
people might love to try and eat. And I'll prout
try at some point, only because I talked about it
on the radio, not because I think any part of
me is going to enjoy it. If I remember correctly,
spam wasn't good. But that's just my opinion, probably not yours.
See you next time. Craig Collins, filling in on The
Dana Show.
