1
00:00:01,879 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,759
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:10,000
stuff out there to talk about an incredible supercut from

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,359
Tom Elliott, the guy that puts together incredible supercuts in

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,280
just a second. But first before I play that, you

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,559
should follow him on social media because he's a great

7
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:22,760
follow at Tom Tom s Elliott and then actually at

8
00:00:22,879 --> 00:00:25,839
Dana at Dlash, Dana Lash Radio and x A great

9
00:00:25,839 --> 00:00:27,879
ways to stay connected to this show and to her.

10
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: But New Jersey has.

11
00:00:29,559 --> 00:00:33,079
Speaker 1: Announced that somehow, some way, and this was as recently

12
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:37,000
as twenty twenty three people accidentally got registered to vote,

13
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:40,119
including a whole bunch of people who were not US citizens.

14
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:45,679
It involved car software, motor vehicle systems and whatnot. A

15
00:00:45,759 --> 00:00:51,320
serious quote software error occurred. This is hilarious to happen

16
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:54,560
a few days after President Trump's speech last week.

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: I'll play this audio first.

18
00:00:56,759 --> 00:01:00,479
Speaker 3: In June of twenty twenty three, nearly three years before

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,000
I became governor, a serious software error in New Jersey's

20
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:09,840
motor vehicle system led to the improper voter registration of

21
00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:13,519
what we believed to be roughly sixty six hundred people

22
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:18,280
in our state. When New Jerseyans applied for a driver's

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,560
license or identification at the MVC, they were asked if

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,400
they wanted to register to vote. In the case of

25
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:31,840
this error, some individuals indicated that they weren't citizens and

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,079
weren't eligible to vote, but the software registered them anyway.

27
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:36,719
Speaker 2: Shocking.

28
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: That is incredibly shocking. I'm amazed that that's something that happened.

29
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:44,200
I'm as sarcastic as I can possibly be as I'm

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,519
saying this again. All of this is just a few

31
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:49,879
days removed from President Trump saying that China stole a

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,359
bunch of data that they shouldn't have had, and then

33
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,599
the Left coming out and explaining it is a data

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,120
anybody can buy a China don't want to buy it,

35
00:01:57,159 --> 00:01:59,239
so they stole it, apparently. And if they got something

36
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:01,439
a little bit deeper than whatever you can buy, no

37
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,760
big deal, it doesn't matter. They didn't do anything with it.

38
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:07,359
That is the definition of pushing the goalposts. But it

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,319
also seems to be a perfect time to play the

40
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:15,759
incredible supercut created by Tom Elliott on social media. Grabian

41
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:18,159
is the organization that he works for, or I think

42
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:19,560
he even like partially.

43
00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: Owns or something.

44
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,759
Speaker 1: But anyway, Tom is showing us all how crazy the

45
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,199
rhetoric was in twenty twenty when it comes to election integrity.

46
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:29,800
On the heels of some of these things we've learned.

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,080
I know that Jersey is twenty twenty three. I know

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,439
it's not the same time period. But if that can

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,360
happen a few years ago, what else could have happened,

50
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:41,719
especially in Sa Georgia, you know, six or so years ago.

51
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:44,039
I have questions. I don't think we have all the

52
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:45,280
answers quite yet, but here we go.

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,759
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty election. The most secure in American history, most

54
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,400
secure election in American history, the most secure in American history, most.

55
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 5: Secure election in American history.

56
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 6: Well secure election in American history.

57
00:02:57,759 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 4: The most secure in American history.

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,159
Speaker 7: Cure election in American history, the safest, the most secure

59
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:06,360
election we've ever seen, Lina's election, the safest election, the

60
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,960
most secure election ever run.

61
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 3: Most secure election in American history.

62
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 4: The most secure election in American history, most secure in history.

63
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,280
What's the most secure election ever? The most secure election

64
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:20,840
in American history. Let's just be clear, this.

65
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 7: Is the most secure election in American.

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,479
Speaker 5: History, the most secure in US history.

67
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 7: Is in fact, was the most secure election.

68
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, this was the most secure election in history, the.

69
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,479
Speaker 3: Most secure or the most secure election in American history.

70
00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:35,439
Speaker 1: This is the moment where I'm tempted to Alwy's pause it.

71
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,840
We are forty eight seconds in to a minute and

72
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:40,960
forty six seconds of the same thing over and over again,

73
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,120
and part of me feels like I should keep playing

74
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:45,280
it at the same time so you truly understand how

75
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,319
ridiculous this was.

76
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: And honestly, like, the other crazy.

77
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: Thing about it to me is how often you can

78
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,680
do this Like Tom is one of the better people

79
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:55,960
at it in social media, but in the world of

80
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:59,199
news organizations, all saying the same thing, all getting the

81
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,080
same talking point points, and being lazy enough to not

82
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,000
change them a little bit. Like, that's the biggest question

83
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,960
I have as somebody who does what I do for

84
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:09,879
a living and nobody gives me any talking points. Producer

85
00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:12,800
Steven gives me incredible amount of topics and stories to

86
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,919
talk about, but doesn't tell me how to talk.

87
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,879
Speaker 2: About them, as does no one else.

88
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: That I've ever worked for, And if they did, I

89
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:21,600
would probably change it just a little bit. You know,

90
00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:23,279
when they give you a script and they're like, make

91
00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:25,480
it your own I'm a guy who always does that,

92
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,879
and then usually when I'm reading a commercial, they're like,

93
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,879
make it a little less your own, try to do

94
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,160
a little less, a little more of us, a little

95
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,639
less of you. But I can't help it. But here,

96
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,839
let's just keep going, because no one took that advice,

97
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,040
no one made it there wrong.

98
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,439
Speaker 3: The most secure election in history, most secure election in

99
00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:45,120
modern American history.

100
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,439
Speaker 2: Bost secure election in our history.

101
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 4: Goes, the most secure election in our history.

102
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: The this most secure election we have ever had.

103
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: The most secure in American.

104
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 8: History, the most secure election in American history, most.

105
00:04:56,639 --> 00:04:59,959
Speaker 2: Secure election in American history. Yeah, we got to Biden.

106
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,800
I think we're good enough.

107
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: We still had like forty seconds left if I wanted

108
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,839
to keep going. My favorite part of that is they

109
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,800
really should have gone even deeper, like the best election

110
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,319
to date in the history of this country, the kind

111
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:12,600
of election that you'd love your daughter to take home

112
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:15,040
to meet mom and dad. That's what you're doing here

113
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:17,480
in the world of this election. Outside of some of

114
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,079
the potential fraud that might have happened. We're ignoring that stuff.

115
00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:23,279
We're ignoring the ridiculous tattoo on the guy's face as

116
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,199
we say that he's a great guy to bring home again.

117
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,000
I'm just so good. Wait to go, Tom, I've praised

118
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,439
you enough. Now I'm going to move on. I often

119
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,279
follow and just play whatever he's got on the super cuts.

120
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: Let's do this.

121
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: This is Fox News talking about the mid term power rankings.

122
00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:42,439
The US Senate remains a toss up. According to them,

123
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,360
the power balance in the House is likely to shift

124
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:47,879
as of some of the data right now. Although it

125
00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:51,120
bears mentioning and you'll hear it pointed out within this clip,

126
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,839
I'm about to play that the difference currently in some

127
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,879
of the data that people are seeing some of the

128
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,560
A polling that I often dismiss is stupid because actually

129
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,560
the vast majority of polsters admit they get it wrong

130
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:08,519
right up until a few weeks before intelection actually occurs

131
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,839
of any kind. They admit that they have like a

132
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:15,120
thirty chance of being right about any of the predictions

133
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,279
they had up into that point, and then once they

134
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:19,560
get within the window of a few weeks, I think

135
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,399
their confidence rolls up to like sixty percent, which is

136
00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:24,519
still basically a failing grade. And a whole lot of

137
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:27,560
schools you're getting at best a D in that scenario.

138
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,759
But anyway they're saying right now, this data seems to

139
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,759
point to Democrats doing well at least when it comes

140
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,319
to the House. And yet the difference in polling isn't

141
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,959
all that surprisingly, you know, changed from a few years

142
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:44,279
ago when Republicans did pretty well.

143
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,199
Speaker 2: But here we go.

144
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 9: Beginning with the Senate forecast, Fox News is projecting that

145
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:51,600
control of the Senate is essentially just a toss up

146
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,519
right now, with the balance of power likely coming down

147
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,360
to Senate seats in four states that are all considered

148
00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:01,040
coin flips right now. Those four states are yellow Fox

149
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,560
News projects at Alaska, Iowa, Ohio, and Maine all have

150
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:08,160
Senate races that are all toss ups, and these are

151
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,920
the matchups that will likely end up determining control of

152
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,759
the Senate now. Republicans are eying a handful of potential

153
00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:17,439
Senate pickups in Georgia, New Hampshire, and Michigan, all of

154
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,079
which Fox News power rankings project as leaning Democrat, while

155
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:25,560
Democrats think they can flip Texas, which obviously leans Republican.

156
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,759
But that's going to be easier said than done for

157
00:07:27,839 --> 00:07:28,480
both parties.

158
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be way easier said than done in

159
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,439
the world of Republicans flipping Texas because some of the

160
00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:35,920
insane people that they're running in the Senate, while the

161
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:38,759
only insane person, Tall Rico, that they're running here, has

162
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:42,279
so many beliefs that are so categorically against Owa Texans

163
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:45,040
believe in that I simply don't accept it. And I

164
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,439
live here. I live in Houston right now. I've actually

165
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,040
only been living here for about a year and a

166
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,959
half though, and when I moved here, the last thing

167
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,560
I ever would have expected is someone like tall Rico

168
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:57,279
to have a legitimate shot at winning a Senate seat.

169
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,720
So I'm really hoping, hoping, excuse me, that doesn't happen,

170
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,160
because it would add a little bit of, you know,

171
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:07,279
a scuff to the shine that has been living in Texas.

172
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: By and large, I've enjoyed.

173
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: It, but it would be a little the shoes would

174
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,120
get scuffed ever so slightly, or maybe more so with

175
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:16,040
the insanity that is Tall Rico.

176
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,879
Speaker 2: Another thing out there that I saw and like that.

177
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: We'll play just before a break that will take in

178
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:24,480
a couple of minutes, will be this Brandon Gill clip

179
00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:27,720
Gil is a representative out of Texas, and I think

180
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:30,680
that for a lot of reasons, most of them doing

181
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,120
with having to do with the way he goes viral

182
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,600
for how he questions people. He is becoming a fast

183
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,679
rising star on the Republican side of the aisle. And

184
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,879
this is the latest example of Man, you really did

185
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:45,639
that well in owning that crazy person that's sitting down

186
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,440
for some questions, and you have some really good ones.

187
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:49,759
Let's go ahead play on.

188
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 4: That, right. Is it important to be polite? Excuse me soon?

189
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:57,120
Is it important to be polite? Yes, sir.

190
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 10: It's also interesting because the same mass action toolkit that

191
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,360
your organization has been promoting references politeness as a defining

192
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,240
characteristic of white supremacy culture.

193
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,759
Speaker 4: Man, are you a white supremacist? No, sir, You're not.

194
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: No, sir, I'm not, even though I'm putting it out

195
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,440
there all the time as something that I think is

196
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:22,399
a hallmark of being a white supremacist.

197
00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: This is great.

198
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: I know this is almost petty to some people and

199
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,480
how simplistic it is, but sometimes that's where you have

200
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,120
to start the discussion with people that want to do

201
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,440
all the performative crazy things and act a certain way

202
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,919
and vilify people based on ridiculous sort of qualifications. I

203
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,679
want to play it again because it's so simple and

204
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,399
so good. Hey, do you think it's important to be

205
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,240
a polite person?

206
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 4: Hmm?

207
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: I wonder why you think that based on what your organization,

208
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:53,600
the National Museum of American History director is, the person

209
00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:56,960
he's talking to, actually says about politeness itself.

210
00:09:57,639 --> 00:10:00,879
Speaker 4: Is it important to be polite? Excuse me, sir? Is

211
00:10:00,919 --> 00:10:03,679
it important to be polite? Yes, sir.

212
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,399
Speaker 10: It's also interesting because the same mass action toolkit that

213
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,799
your organization has been promoting references politeness as a defining

214
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:16,720
characteristic of white supremacy culture.

215
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,639
Speaker 4: Weird man, were you a white supremacist? No, sir.

216
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: I do also like that hm that she puts in

217
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,559
there because she's not happy about the way that that

218
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,679
question in that conversation just went down, and she'd like

219
00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:33,559
to slap him in the face. I'm assuming don't shoot

220
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,159
the messenger. This is my guess as to what's going on.

221
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,720
I much like this a Cubs fan slapped the guy

222
00:10:38,759 --> 00:10:40,600
in the back of the head that I should talk

223
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,759
about in a little bit. But she'd like to hit him,

224
00:10:42,799 --> 00:10:45,799
but she can't because the conversation is about politeness and

225
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,440
that wouldn't be the right way to go about it,

226
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:50,679
although I do posit that since he was asking her

227
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,559
if she was a white supremacist, because apparently they're all

228
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,919
very polite according to her organization, the best way to

229
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,120
prove she wasn't would have been to stand up in

230
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:02,120
will Smitham. If he had done that, then maybe people

231
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,919
would have been like, all right, fine, at least he's

232
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:04,919
not a white supremacist.

233
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: She's just slap happy.

234
00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:09,279
Speaker 1: But actually, i'll reference it now, and I was gonna

235
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:11,639
play audio, but really the audio is not as good

236
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,840
as just telling you it's out there and telling you

237
00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:16,559
to go look for the video yourself. But at a

238
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,639
Cubs game, there's a dude standing behind a young person,

239
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,159
a young guy and an older guy, and the young

240
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,759
guy is sitting through the national anthem and the guy

241
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,559
behind him is not having it. He leans in, he

242
00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:32,080
says some stuff. The kid says some stuff back, actual adult, not.

243
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: A child, I say kid.

244
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: But this guy has got to be in his twenties,

245
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:39,320
and anyway, the person who's probably in his fifties slaps

246
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,480
him in the back of the head. I think that's hilarious.

247
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,240
The guy does get up after that moment. I don't

248
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:47,720
know if anything happened. I know that you could probably

249
00:11:47,799 --> 00:11:50,000
have him in trouble for some sort of legal thing

250
00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:53,200
like assault, but nonetheless, much like Will Smith probably should

251
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,240
have been in trouble a few years ago. But nonetheless,

252
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,159
this is the kind of thing that a whole bunch

253
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,960
of people would actually love to see. And to be honest,

254
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,000
sometimes when you hear the ridiculous complaining for people that

255
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,200
probably were not raised ever.

256
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: Understanding any kind of.

257
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: Effect to their behavior, meaning their behavior had a cause

258
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:17,679
and this cause created this.

259
00:12:17,639 --> 00:12:19,399
Speaker 2: Effect, meaning a punishment.

260
00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: People who are never punished at all don't expect it

261
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,519
to happen in the everyday world. And this was a

262
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,600
pretty significant example of you don't do what I want,

263
00:12:27,879 --> 00:12:31,679
this bad thing happens to you, and I think it's awesome. Also,

264
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:34,600
I'm not advocating for us to attack each other. I

265
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,600
just probably have to say that for legal reasons, so

266
00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:38,840
I'm not fired from ever doing the show again.

267
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: But I was amused.

268
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: All right, quick break a lot more Craig Collins filling

269
00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:43,960
in on the Dana Show.

270
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 11: As we move our partners that will bring you the program.

271
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,840
It's the folks over at Ghostbud. If you have not

272
00:12:49,039 --> 00:12:52,120
switched your mattress and gotten a ghost bed. You're sleeping

273
00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:53,960
and basically on a pile of hobo trash. I don't

274
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,679
know what else to tell you. You know what's worse

275
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,080
than summer heat, trying to sleep on a mattress that's

276
00:12:58,159 --> 00:12:59,720
just hot. It feels like you're in a frying pan

277
00:12:59,759 --> 00:13:03,000
and cooking you. That's just horrible and miserable. And all

278
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,720
of these mattress companies they have cooling tech that are

279
00:13:05,759 --> 00:13:08,279
built into mattresses, but it's an expensive upgrade that you

280
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,639
have to pay extra four and it's usually a special order.

281
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,440
That's not how ghostped operates. In fact, hot sleepers are

282
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,759
some of their happiest customers. That tech is incorporated into

283
00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:19,879
every single mattress. It's not an expensive upgrade that you

284
00:13:19,919 --> 00:13:22,840
have to pay extra for or order separately. You're going

285
00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:24,759
to notice the difference right away, not just with the

286
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,120
quality materials and construction. Less tension, better temperature, no more

287
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,600
waking up sorece. So if you're tossing and turning, waking

288
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,759
up stiff, or sleeping hot, that's your mattress and you

289
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:36,600
need to switch to a ghost bed today because it

290
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,240
helps with those exact issues. You get one hundred and

291
00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:40,600
one nights to try it at home, and if you

292
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:43,039
don't feel the difference, you can send it back risk free.

293
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,120
There's still time to take advantage of their fourth of

297
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,039
Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show. My name is Greg Collins,

298
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,559
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of

299
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,440
stuff out there to talk about. I do think this

300
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,679
is interesting. The president of the California Teachers Union is

301
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,440
saying all kinds of crazy stuff. Very much is reminiscent

302
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,960
of all the crazy things that Randy Weingarten used to

303
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,000
say on a seemingly daily weekly some sort of basis,

304
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,360
especially during the tail end of COVID when she was

305
00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:23,120
trotted out all the time. They're having a convention, a

306
00:14:23,159 --> 00:14:27,120
political rally, and here's part of the craziest things that

307
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:28,399
were said at said rally.

308
00:14:29,159 --> 00:14:33,039
Speaker 12: To fight back against this fascist regime, we need to

309
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:36,840
be in the streets, wisely using our wallets, battling in

310
00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:38,799
the courts, and winning.

311
00:14:38,559 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: At the follil fox the center of our democracy. That's

312
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:42,120
not right.

313
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: There.

314
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,039
Speaker 1: He's also wearing a shirt that says solidarity is the

315
00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:49,159
lesson planned with a may Day showing in the book

316
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:53,440
that he's got on the photo as well. This is insane,

317
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,759
This is crazy. And here's the biggest reason why this

318
00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:59,960
should matter to you or to meet anyone. These are

319
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,240
the people in the schools educating kids, and they're educating

320
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,799
kids in radical ways. They're absolutely injecting their political beliefs

321
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,519
into the discussions they have with children all the time.

322
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,320
When they say that they're fighting about fighting back against

323
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,639
a fascist regime regime, they actually think they're doing like

324
00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:20,840
God's work or some sort of you know, fighting the

325
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:24,200
good fight against the evil, terrible people that are out there.

326
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,440
This is how the brainwashing starts, or the brainwashing happens,

327
00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:32,240
or so many people complain about the ridiculousness that has become.

328
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:36,840
People infusing their thoughts and beliefs into everything they do

329
00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:40,679
in a way where politics is just unavoidable. Then so

330
00:15:40,799 --> 00:15:44,200
many people seem to be devoid of the ability to

331
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,080
put politics aside for even a few minutes. And I'll

332
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,159
tell you this as somebody who does what I do

333
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,279
for a living. I host a show on a Dana

334
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,919
affiliate station KSV in Houston, Texas. And then actually also

335
00:15:57,159 --> 00:15:59,600
of course do fill in gigs like this in other places.

336
00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: So I talk about politics a lot.

337
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:05,159
Speaker 1: It is something that I'm actually, even if I didn't

338
00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:08,639
want to, you know, forced to look at every single

339
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,840
day and pay attention to all the time to bring

340
00:16:10,879 --> 00:16:12,720
the best possible product to you.

341
00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: Whatever.

342
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm getting a chance to interact on anything like as

343
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,039
fancy of a show as this, I just want to

344
00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:20,639
make sure people understand. I understand right now I'm driving

345
00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:23,759
a Maserati and it's awesome to be on this show

346
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:28,159
and on you know, this entire network. But nonetheless, even

347
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,879
people like me and I assume data and everybody else

348
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,159
out there who does this, you can get away from it.

349
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,759
You're thrilled actually to get away from politics. And I

350
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:39,039
kind of think we also need to get back to

351
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,360
that in our society even a little bit. And one

352
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:44,279
of the best examples I can give to this, and

353
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,519
I know this is sort of a stupid, soapbox type

354
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:51,799
of speech, reacting to a crazy teacher at a crazy

355
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,759
conference and a crazy thing, but part of me, when

356
00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:57,840
I really think about it, is like, how often I'll

357
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,679
give you a concrete example, I have a friend of

358
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,720
a friend who has apparently no idea what I do

359
00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:07,480
for a living, which I find hilarious.

360
00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:09,079
Speaker 2: Every time this person.

361
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: Comes up and we've hung out with them, my wife

362
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,720
and I have been places like I went to a

363
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,960
ballgame and I knew this dude was there, And apparently

364
00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:19,200
he's told people, including even my wife, like how much

365
00:17:19,279 --> 00:17:22,240
he hates Republicans, how much he hates people who would

366
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,200
have voted for Trump, like all this stuff, and he's

367
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,960
said at times, if I ever found out that somebody

368
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,000
in my circle had done some of that stuff, I

369
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,160
would immediately remove them from said circle. He's never said

370
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,960
it to me, so I feel like if that ever happens,

371
00:17:36,279 --> 00:17:38,000
I might just rip the band aid off and then

372
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,559
we're probably done hanging out with this person. But I

373
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,000
just find that so amusing that I've now been in

374
00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:49,000
multiple social scenarios around this individual and other people in

375
00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:52,079
which nothing bad has happened. Everybody seems to like each other,

376
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,799
everyone seems friendly enough. Politics luckily barely comes up, I think,

377
00:17:56,839 --> 00:18:00,160
somewhat because my wife is trying to avoid it so

378
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:00,799
that I don't have.

379
00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: An argument with some people.

380
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,559
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, like It's just it's in the back of

381
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:08,400
my brain so amusing that I don't care that he

382
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,720
happens to be someone who politically profoundly disagrees with me

383
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,400
and seems to think I'm the enemy and he does.

384
00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:18,400
And I think so often, if you're you know, anywhere

385
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,960
where you see somebody who's got like a crazy fight

386
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,160
Trump shirt on or something, I think the vast majority

387
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,160
of conservatives may giggle, may laugh, may make fun of

388
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,200
you behind your back as they leave, but they're not

389
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,079
going to care. They're not going to demand that a

390
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,599
plane not land at an airport because it's been changed

391
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:36,599
to be the Donald Trump Airport.

392
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,039
Speaker 2: Like none of that matters.

393
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,079
Speaker 1: Who cares if someone names things after Obama? Actually, I

394
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,000
lived in Illinois for a long time and there's stretches

395
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:47,000
of road that are named after him.

396
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: I'm not going to refuse to be on them.

397
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean I agree with any of his politics,

398
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:53,960
but it doesn't it doesn't matter. It's just so amusing

399
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,519
to me that this happens so often, that people are

400
00:18:56,559 --> 00:18:59,559
so motivated to behave a certain way and then to

401
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:03,599
influence as many people around them as possible. Part of

402
00:19:03,599 --> 00:19:06,119
the reason I think I know this about the person

403
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,000
I'm talking about is because at some point he seemed

404
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,440
to want to say that to my wife.

405
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if he got an.

406
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: Inkling that maybe there was a political disagreement or something

407
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,640
whatever it might be, but at some point he just

408
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,960
sort of announced that to her and she was like, okay,

409
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,160
all right, good and then tried to move on. And

410
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,559
I was told about it later and have been amused

411
00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:26,279
about it since.

412
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I'm not trying.

413
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: I guess this is the silliest part to say, but

414
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,519
it's the part that I feel like is always arguing

415
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,240
with the other side and the crazy stuff that they're saying.

416
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,319
I'm not trying to force anybody to think anything. I

417
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,799
like the opportunity to be on a radio show and

418
00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:44,200
to share my opinion, and maybe some people like it,

419
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,079
maybe a bunch of people don't. That's fine, But truthfully,

420
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,920
my day to day life, I'm not actually forcing you

421
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,759
to think things you don't think unless those things somehow harm,

422
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,559
like kids or something like.

423
00:19:55,559 --> 00:19:59,039
Speaker 2: There are places that you could go.

424
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,839
Speaker 1: Where I think that the ma growth statement I just

425
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,160
made is not true, but by and large it is.

426
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: But anyway, as you say that you.

427
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: Wonder if the other side understands that same concept, and

428
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,279
you see constantly how they don't. You see so many

429
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,759
examples of ways in which they seem to be saying

430
00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:16,920
out loud exactly the opposite. Now, granted, as I say

431
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,000
all this, I'm about to play some audio that I

432
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,519
found wildly amusing that is not in fact necessarily a

433
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:26,880
reflection a you know, not, Actually, i'll hold it. I'll

434
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,000
wait on this audio for a little bit, but not

435
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,759
in fact a reflection of the ideals I was just

436
00:20:31,799 --> 00:20:36,319
talking about. To quickly preview it now, and I'll probably

437
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,680
play some audio in about ten minutes or so. There

438
00:20:39,759 --> 00:20:42,680
was a Chicago Cubs game that went viral because of

439
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,799
two fans in the stands, a young man that seemed

440
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:48,240
to be sitting during a national anthem and a dude

441
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,960
behind him who was not okay with it.

442
00:20:50,319 --> 00:20:51,279
Speaker 2: And I thought that was.

443
00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:55,799
Speaker 1: Hilarious because it's ridiculous. It's stupid to think that you're

444
00:20:55,839 --> 00:20:58,119
protesting in that moment in that way by just sitting

445
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,359
in your seat when everybody else is staying for the

446
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,519
national anthem. So is this trying to encourage someone to

447
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:04,240
think differently?

448
00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

449
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 13: It is?

450
00:21:06,079 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: Did I like it, Yeah, I did.

451
00:21:08,039 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would have done it if

452
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,599
I were someone who served in our military. I think

453
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,480
i'd even find it more offensive than I already do

454
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:19,839
as a person who cares about the national anthem. But nonetheless,

455
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:21,720
this is the kind of thing that mostly amused me.

456
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,880
Amused me, excuse me, because it also happened in Chicago,

457
00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:28,200
a place that you don't exactly expect a lot of

458
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,119
people to reinforce the ideals of the Republican side, even

459
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,559
though this really shouldn't. This shouldn't be a left versus

460
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,079
right issue. Being someone who's proud of the country in

461
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,160
which you live, which most of us actually are, because

462
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,759
we continue to choose to live here, and if you

463
00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:48,480
go try out living somewhere else, inevitably you discover how

464
00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:51,359
bad of an idea that actually is compared to here.

465
00:21:51,799 --> 00:21:54,160
Because of that, just stand the heck up seems to

466
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,079
be the approach, all right. I'll play some of that

467
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,079
a little bit later, because I was amused by it.

468
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,039
The Michigan Senate canidate who's getting talked about a lot,

469
00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:06,039
who's a crazy person himself, Abdul l said, I was

470
00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:09,519
recently talking about how great Marjorie Taylor Green is in

471
00:22:09,559 --> 00:22:13,359
an interview. The reason I'm so amused by this is

472
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,319
that it's incredible to watch the left wait for anyone

473
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:21,160
that they can claim as someone on the right that

474
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,519
they can claim is now thinking like they wait for

475
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:26,319
this as much as they can, and they're thrilled to

476
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,839
pounce on it when it happens. The only problem, in

477
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,319
my opinion, for them, and this would be compared to

478
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,799
the times where I'm amused to say, play Bill maher audio,

479
00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:39,960
is that by and large the people they gravitate towards

480
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:43,519
are no longer at all representative of the values of

481
00:22:43,559 --> 00:22:46,400
the party that they were once a part of. Meaning, essentially,

482
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,720
Marjorie Taylor Green has abandoned the vast majority of the

483
00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:52,880
things that made her electable when she ran as a Republican.

484
00:22:53,519 --> 00:22:56,240
Unlike I think a lot of the Democrats like Fetterman,

485
00:22:56,559 --> 00:22:59,839
who say occasionally reasonable things but by and large still

486
00:22:59,839 --> 00:23:02,400
a line with a lot of what the party believes,

487
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:06,000
the left wants to glom onto the people who are

488
00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:09,240
the least currently like the people that they're trying to

489
00:23:09,279 --> 00:23:12,160
convince that see, one of you has changed the rest

490
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,960
of you can change doo. And it's just so funny

491
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:18,799
because all the time that Marjorie Taylor Green was saying

492
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,519
profoundly different things, they hated her. They hated her as

493
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:24,799
much as they hate everybody else. And then once she

494
00:23:24,839 --> 00:23:27,839
flips entirely the other way, like, Oh, she's great now

495
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,240
now that she agrees with us, we love her and

496
00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:32,119
we want to make sure to mention her whenever we can.

497
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 13: So I talked to a former congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Green

498
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:40,680
on this podcast in April, and it's kind of remarkable

499
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,559
how similar some of your positions are.

500
00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 4: Like.

501
00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 13: She also has condemned a PAC's influence in politics, called

502
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,519
for no more US taxpayer dollars to Israel, said that

503
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:52,440
the cost of health insurance needs to go down. Do

504
00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:56,480
you think you could build this new coalition with people

505
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,839
like MTG?

506
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 14: Look, she sattled lot of things I disagree with too.

507
00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:05,240
I'll just say this that I wouldn't be surprised, right.

508
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,559
You know what, when you asked me about why establishment

509
00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:11,359
elite Democrats are so worried about me, it's because there

510
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,119
are a lot of people who listen to her who

511
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,680
are going to vote for me in the general election.

512
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:16,079
Speaker 4: They're not afraid I'm going to lose.

513
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 14: They're afraid I'm going to win.

514
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,319
Speaker 1: I actually don't believe that that a lot of people

515
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,319
who listen to her before would vote for him now.

516
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,119
I think that a lot of people who listen to

517
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,119
her now might vote for him now. And that's because

518
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,039
they've been listening to people like him for a long time,

519
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,119
and they're just suddenly starting to listen to the Marjorie

520
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,880
Taylor Greens of the world because they're finally saying things

521
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,839
that the other side likes. It's sort of similar, and

522
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,559
I know that Dana talks about this all the time

523
00:24:40,599 --> 00:24:43,440
the podcast to stand crazies of the world who are

524
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,519
just selling out do whatever the current version of conversation

525
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,440
is that they think will benefit them in the world

526
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,279
of social media. So you know, Megan Kelly's or the

527
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:55,480
Tucker Carlson's of the world, who you can pull audio

528
00:24:55,519 --> 00:24:59,519
tape after audio tape or example after example online of

529
00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:03,519
them saying something profoundly different than something they're saying now.

530
00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:06,559
They seem to you know, have one eightied on a

531
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,599
vast majority of topics, and they're just doing it because

532
00:25:09,599 --> 00:25:12,960
they think that's where the money is currently, and they

533
00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:15,480
expect a lot of people to be dumb enough or

534
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,160
a gullible enough to go along with, Oh that's what

535
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,039
they really think now.

536
00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: Oh and what they.

537
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,559
Speaker 1: Thought before was what they really thought before. And this

538
00:25:22,599 --> 00:25:25,039
is one of the reasons I'm just gonna randomly praise Dana.

539
00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:27,240
I know that some people listening to the show will

540
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,079
probably think I'm kissing up and hey, who cares, Maybe

541
00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:33,039
I am, but it's actually true. I absolutely believe this.

542
00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:35,119
I love the fact that if you listen to a

543
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,079
show like this, the thoughts are the same. It's not

544
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,720
that she doesn't involve she does. But by and large,

545
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,720
you can go back a certain number of years and

546
00:25:42,759 --> 00:25:46,960
hear something relatively similar belief wise to where she is now.

547
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:49,559
There aren't a tremendous amount of topics where you're like, wow,

548
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,160
that's a complete one eighty.

549
00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: And the thing that's funny about that is.

550
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,799
Speaker 1: Those are the people who show you that they've actually

551
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,160
been honest the whole time. If you don't see their takes,

552
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,519
their beliefs, where their main positions or their main guiding forces.

553
00:26:03,759 --> 00:26:05,839
If that's what the left wants to call this stuff

554
00:26:06,279 --> 00:26:08,839
in the world of how they talk about and make

555
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,839
certain decisions in the world of politics, if you don't

556
00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:14,640
see those radically alter. Then you know that you're listening

557
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,319
to someone who actually is authentic, who actually is genuine,

558
00:26:17,599 --> 00:26:20,119
regardless if you agree with them, which I think is

559
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,480
probably the most important thing and something we get less

560
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,960
and less of now, whether it's social media's fault or

561
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,079
what have you. The performative fake version of the world

562
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,519
in which we live is so ubiquitous, and the ability

563
00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:37,119
to find someone who's saying something that seems to actually

564
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,119
be a belief of theirs is rare. So I love

565
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,680
people who do that. And one of the big reasons

566
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,960
that I'm thrilled that data is a part of the

567
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,440
station I work at at KSV in Houston, mentioning it

568
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,279
for the second time there, so the boss is like me,

569
00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:50,839
I quick break a lot more.

570
00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 2: Craig Collins filling in on the data show.

571
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 11: How much of your financial life exists as a number

572
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,160
on a screen. Your savings, your retirement accounts, and investments

573
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,880
are all digital ass and that's one reason many people

574
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,319
choose to own physical gold and silver as a part

575
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,079
of a balanced, diversified portfolio. They're tangible assets that you

576
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,279
can actually hold, and they've helped people preserve wealth for generations.

577
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,279

578
00:27:15,599 --> 00:27:19,079

00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,319
Speaker 2: This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins.

590
00:27:54,319 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: But again, I think I'd live under a data regime,

591
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,160
by the way, I think I'd be okay under one

592
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,799
of those at dlash Dana Radio and X great ways

593
00:28:01,799 --> 00:28:03,720
to stay connected to her and all the awesome stuff

594
00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:06,119
she and her team does on social media. I even

595
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,480
follow her on TikTok. This show is everywhere and deservedly so.

596
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,559
All Right, I want to play a piece of audio

597
00:28:12,599 --> 00:28:15,839
that I thought was interesting in which a Democrat was

598
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,799
pretty much saying that you should never talk to a

599
00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:22,400
Republican because how dare you have a conversation with somebody

600
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,480
you disagree with things you don't believe in.

601
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: This is crazy.

602
00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: Jennifer Welsh, of course, is the person that's talking and

603
00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:32,240
saying that you just got to leave them on their

604
00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:34,799
own side of the aisle and act like they don't exist,

605
00:28:35,079 --> 00:28:38,000
and she goes into a bunch of different avenues that

606
00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:41,200
seem even more insane than just the basic premise of

607
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,440
the talking is not good, and it's the exact opposite

608
00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:46,839
of what I liked so much about Charlie Kirk and

609
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,440
why it's such a tragedy that he was killed for

610
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:53,559
this belief. But he said that talking prevents violence, that

611
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:56,240
when the talking stops, the violence starts. So you need

612
00:28:56,279 --> 00:29:00,000
to communicate with each other, and that is profoundly, profound

613
00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:03,079
only true. So not only is this ridiculous, it's also

614
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:04,000
inherently wrong.

615
00:29:04,279 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 2: But here we go.

616
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,599
Speaker 5: To get Republicans to vote for Democrats. They never will.

617
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:17,559
Republicans are a personality type that are incapable of critical thinking,

618
00:29:18,079 --> 00:29:23,559
that cling to money and racism as they're driving ethos

619
00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:26,960
and to shield from their greed and to shield from

620
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:33,480
their just abject immorality. They god Christian signal, Oh family values.

621
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,079
Oh my god, these trans people. So that's why you

622
00:29:36,119 --> 00:29:38,759
hear Donald Trump saying all the time, it's trans everything,

623
00:29:38,839 --> 00:29:41,920
It's transgender for everybody. I mean, this is the guy

624
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,960
Donald Trump who thinks the CHIPSAC has transistors, and he

625
00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:51,119
thinks whenever he hears the word trans that that means

626
00:29:51,119 --> 00:29:55,039
trans people. But it works with the base. It works

627
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,720
with the base because these people are terrified Trump and

628
00:29:59,799 --> 00:30:05,359
him cabal of submissive wives are terrified of drag coins,

629
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,359
of books of diversity, of black people, of women, of lesbians,

630
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,160
of gay people, of trans people.

631
00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: No, it is my first reaction to everything she just said,

632
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:18,079
especially the end there. I am, in fact a member

633
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:20,359
of the party that she's disparaging right now. And I'm

634
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,519
not terrified of any of the groups she just threw

635
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:24,599
out there. I'm not even remotely scared of them. What

636
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,279
I am scared of is a brainwashing a child to

637
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,400
think that they're going to be better off if you

638
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,720
change their body profoundly. The word usually used is mutilate

639
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:37,240
their body. And then a few years after you've convinced

640
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:39,680
them of that, and they're not any happier than they

641
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,519
were before. They regret the fact that they've changed their

642
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:45,319
body forever, and they were a child when you did this.

643
00:30:45,759 --> 00:30:48,160
That all seems very wrong. I'm afraid of that. I

644
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,599
think that's uniquely horrible and the way that so many

645
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,799
things like that are done to people to convince them

646
00:30:53,839 --> 00:30:57,640
of something. But here's the thing that I think liberals

647
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,480
that Democrats always fail to understand about Republicans, about actual

648
00:31:02,519 --> 00:31:05,359
people on the right. We don't care if you're an

649
00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:08,119
adult what you do with your life, but it doesn't

650
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,720
mean that we have to agree with you on anything

651
00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:14,440
that you say or do. Just because you do something,

652
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,839
just because you believe something, that's fine.

653
00:31:17,119 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: You do you, I'll do me.

654
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,119
Speaker 1: The problem with the Democratic side of the aisle is

655
00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:24,319
they demand that I say that I agree with them

656
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,319
whatever the topic of discussion is, and if I don't,

657
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,839
I'm the horrible person they just described. I'm someone who

658
00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:33,640
clings to money and racism as my driving ethos and

659
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,319
not critical thinking, which, by the way, is the most

660
00:31:36,359 --> 00:31:39,079
ridiculous part of the statement. If I'm being truly honest,

661
00:31:39,359 --> 00:31:42,720
because I think critical thinking is the foundational aspect of

662
00:31:42,759 --> 00:31:44,759
some of the discussions that happen on the right and

663
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:47,319
not on the left. I think that's why I'll say this,

664
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,640
there were a lot of young voters who in twenty

665
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,319
twenty four punched the ticket of Trump, maybe because they

666
00:31:54,319 --> 00:31:57,200
did or didn't actually like the individual, but more some

667
00:31:57,279 --> 00:32:00,440
of the crazy stuff that gets talked about. I have

668
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,599
people in my family that are just becoming the age

669
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,359
to vote. A couple young men that I talk I

670
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,880
don't identify exactly who they are because I'm not sure

671
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,559
that their parents would want me to, but nonetheless, like

672
00:32:12,599 --> 00:32:16,119
I have nieces and nephews, I'll go that far. That

673
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,480
I've talked to that have said some of this stuff,

674
00:32:18,759 --> 00:32:21,519
and some of the craziest woke things, they laugh about them.

675
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,359
I don't know why people think that. I don't know

676
00:32:23,359 --> 00:32:26,279
why people believe that that's so crazy. And by and large,

677
00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:29,640
if you're talking to, say in eighteen, to a maybe

678
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,400
thirty something young man, something they've all acknowledged is that

679
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,559
they're usually to blame for stuff. When society or social

680
00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:40,839
media's version of it complains about things, it's usually a

681
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,720
dude's fault. Specifically, most of the time a white guy

682
00:32:44,119 --> 00:32:45,920
who's in trouble and who has to be the most

683
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,720
disliked in the room. So if you're a young white man,

684
00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:50,880
what do you think of that? Well, you certainly don't

685
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,880
think you're bad. You certainly don't accept the idea that

686
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,160
I'm a terrible person because people said it, especially if

687
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,119
you don't actually behave in any way terrible, and then

688
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,880
you gravitate to the side that's saying that you're an

689
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,599
okay person too, that you're a good person too. They

690
00:33:05,599 --> 00:33:07,960
don't understand that. And the fact that it's two women

691
00:33:08,079 --> 00:33:11,319
talking about this topic and saying how terrible Republicans are

692
00:33:11,799 --> 00:33:13,759
sort of amused me even more. I'm not saying that

693
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:17,319
everybody thinks a certain way with how you look or

694
00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:18,119
how you are.

695
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 2: That's exactly what the Democrats do.

696
00:33:20,839 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: But I kind of wish that there was a twenty

697
00:33:23,039 --> 00:33:26,359
something dude who might be producing this show who might

698
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,279
have those same reactions as they continue to blame certain

699
00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:32,519
people for problems. Because she said towards the end there

700
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:34,839
that you hate drag queens and black people and women

701
00:33:35,119 --> 00:33:38,039
and lesbians and gay people and trans people. And you

702
00:33:38,119 --> 00:33:40,680
notice she left a group out, the only group that

703
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,359
she thinks conservatives don't hate is straight dudes, and so

704
00:33:44,599 --> 00:33:47,079
it's interesting to think that they then have to be

705
00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:50,880
the bad guy because that is the entire collection of

706
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,440
the side of the aisle they don't like. You can't

707
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,079
hate all of those groups if you're one of them.

708
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,880
So that's part of the problem there in that way

709
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,720
of thinking. I don't think she's saying out loud that

710
00:33:59,759 --> 00:34:03,240
the black Republicans hate black people, but who knows, maybe

711
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,680
she in fact is actually saying that too. Another piece

712
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,679
of audio that I do want to play that I

713
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,039
really thought was interesting, and it's kind of like a

714
00:34:11,079 --> 00:34:14,480
two parter Scott Jennings. I play audio from him a

715
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,519
lot I enjoy, and I don't actually I should admit this.

716
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,199
Speaker 2: I don't actually watch CNN.

717
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't sit down and turn the show on and

718
00:34:21,519 --> 00:34:25,119
watch Jennings debate these people. I just consume the clips

719
00:34:25,119 --> 00:34:27,320
that go viral on the internet because a lot of

720
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,440
them are really great. And this is a two parter,

721
00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:32,840
so that context is in here. But one of the

722
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,519
talking heads on CNN was apparently blaming Donald Trump for

723
00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:41,280
the attempted bombing of an ICE facility in Manhattan, which

724
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,639
is crazy. That's the version of all right, you think

725
00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:47,480
Trump has to be responsible for every bad thing that

726
00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:51,760
happens in the world, because this can't possibly be connected

727
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,000
to him at all, and yet you're trying to do it.

728
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,159
And not only was Scott first mystified by the argument,

729
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,880
but he later had a really great response to it.

730
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 2: We can play both of those things.

731
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: Let's start with the issue itself of how is this

732
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:05,920
Trump's fault?

733
00:35:06,119 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 2: Guy?

734
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 12: Donald Trump is responsible for some of the worst, most

735
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,960
insinior and most political and violent rhetoric in our country.

736
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,800
So I don't accept this the statement from Scott at

737
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:22,159
all violence. Political violence is wrong, Yes, whether it's left

738
00:35:22,519 --> 00:35:26,599
or right. The problem is, I don't know president on

739
00:35:26,639 --> 00:35:30,880
the Democratic side in my lifetime who's ever encouraged political violence.

740
00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:33,440
In fact, I don't know any Republican president in my

741
00:35:33,519 --> 00:35:36,519
lifetime has ever encouraged political violence until Donald Trump. We

742
00:35:36,639 --> 00:35:40,599
have crossed the proverbial standard here. We've passed the point

743
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:43,079
of no return with Donald Trump, and if we don't

744
00:35:43,119 --> 00:35:47,280
call him out for his responsible activity, activities and encouraging this,

745
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:49,159
we're responsible as well.

746
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 8: You have any Do you have any comment on the

747
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,000
actual news story I just.

748
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 12: Said, I condemned political value.

749
00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 2: I was right there.

750
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,599
Speaker 1: I love that part where he's on this long tirade

751
00:35:58,599 --> 00:36:01,079
about Trump. It's all Trump's faulty, the terrible person, and

752
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:03,840
the very simplistic version of do you actually want to

753
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,119
comment on the person who tried to bomb the ICE

754
00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:09,320
facility in Manhattan that's radically to the left, not to

755
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,800
the right. And then he continued a little bit later on,

756
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,719
this was probably the best part of it personally.

757
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 8: Make sure I understand this deranged anti Ice leftist tries

758
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,239
to blow up the federal office in New York today,

759
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,719
and that's Donald Trump's fault. Joe Biden.

760
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 2: He just gave a.

761
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 1: You said, a generalized version of a thing that is

762
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,840
designed to be tied to this because the actual conversation

763
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,760
you were supposed to be having was about this topic,

764
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,360
was about the attempted bombing, and your answer to a

765
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,880
specific question was to macro the topic and make it

766
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,280
about Trump. So he's totally right Jennings and saying you

767
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,920
basically just ranted that this is all Trump's fault.

768
00:36:52,639 --> 00:36:53,119
Speaker 4: Joe Biden.

769
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 8: Joe Biden doesn't enforce immigration laws and that's Donald Trump's fault.

770
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,599
I'm trying to identify the end of the Chooser Route

771
00:37:01,599 --> 00:37:04,760
Adventure book, where it doesn't end with it's Donald Trump's fault.

772
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 2: Stephen is right, they did not enforce the law.

773
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,119
Speaker 8: And you know, people will tell you that. Anybody that

774
00:37:09,159 --> 00:37:11,280
works for ICE today will tell you when they were

775
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:16,119
working there under Biden, they were told not to enforce immigrational.

776
00:37:15,599 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: We have to just ignore it, just to pretend that

777
00:37:17,519 --> 00:37:20,440
none of this exists. Simply enforcing the law can't possibly

778
00:37:20,519 --> 00:37:23,400
be anything other than good. It can't be racist, it

779
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,079
can't be any of that, because it's the law. It's

780
00:37:26,119 --> 00:37:28,119
the things that we're supposed to be doing and that

781
00:37:28,119 --> 00:37:30,199
they're choosing not to do in the first place for

782
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,039
political reasons. But my actual favorite part of that back

783
00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:36,760
and forth, and just the way in which it's exposed

784
00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:40,960
on CNN, is how often this is the thinking of

785
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
the left. They do love to attack President Trump for

786
00:37:44,079 --> 00:37:47,039
his version of rhetoric, for the things he says and does.

787
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:50,320
And I'll be honest when he claims the guest that

788
00:37:51,039 --> 00:37:52,559
no person on the left has ever said that.

789
00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:55,639
Speaker 2: Please, there's so many examples of that. Maxine Waters.

790
00:37:55,639 --> 00:37:58,159
Speaker 1: One of the easiest ones that comes to mind, Chuck Schumer,

791
00:37:58,199 --> 00:38:00,199
But a bunch of people who say like, we're not

792
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,280
sitting down anymore. We're fighting now, We're getting in your face,

793
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,199
we're making it impossible to ignore us, like it's ridiculous.

794
00:38:06,599 --> 00:38:07,679
Speaker 2: And I'm sure they would.

795
00:38:07,519 --> 00:38:11,039
Speaker 1: Say the catalyst of that rhetoric from the left, from

796
00:38:11,119 --> 00:38:14,119
the politicians on the left, is also a response to

797
00:38:14,119 --> 00:38:15,239
what Trump has been saying.

798
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 2: But there's got to be an end to that circle.

799
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:17,519
Speaker 6: Man.

800
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: There has to be a point where you find where

801
00:38:20,039 --> 00:38:22,760
you actually say, all right, this is originating over here

802
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,760
and more important than that. And something that I say

803
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,000
a lot is that if you're going to accuse one

804
00:38:28,119 --> 00:38:30,840
side of something, you have to own up if you

805
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,760
also do it. It's that you can't throw stones at

806
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,079
a glass house. Thing that was a lesson that was

807
00:38:36,119 --> 00:38:38,760
pretty good that we were taught is that if you

808
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,039
behave a certain way, it is the worst possible position

809
00:38:42,119 --> 00:38:44,440
to take that the other side is doing it and

810
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,760
they're bad for it because it's just so devoid of

811
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,079
the reality of who you are and what you're doing.

812
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: All right, one last thing I do want to play.

813
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: I should take a break when I'm going to play

814
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,840
this first, just because it's hilarious. The mayor of Chicago

815
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,079
A Brandon Johnson, who is a black man, was speaking

816
00:39:00,119 --> 00:39:03,840
at an N double ACP event and he misspelled N

817
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,960
double ACP And that's hilarious. That's just genuinely a hilarious

818
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,079
thing to hear someone do. And I'm not going to

819
00:39:12,159 --> 00:39:15,320
pretend that he's such an idiot he doesn't actually know

820
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,599
what it's supposed to be. I am going to say

821
00:39:18,639 --> 00:39:21,280
that it's my belief that he doesn't care as much

822
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,800
about the thing that he's pretending to care about for

823
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:29,039
political reasons, which is surprising because again, he's a black man,

824
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,000
so you'd think that this would be an event that

825
00:39:31,039 --> 00:39:33,719
he would care about enough to get the letters right.

826
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 12: And that is the legacy aa e PC ECP here.

827
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 2: That legacy.

828
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,119
Speaker 1: What is that organization? I've never heard of that or

829
00:39:46,159 --> 00:39:47,800
been involved in that. I wonder what it is, and

830
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,039
I wonder what they do, and I wonder why Brandon

831
00:39:50,119 --> 00:39:51,360

Speaker 1: My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be

863
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,920

00:41:29,199 --> 00:41:32,119
that Dana's gant. I actually also follow her on TikTok

867
00:41:32,119 --> 00:41:34,519
and I follow like five people on TikTok and one

868
00:41:34,519 --> 00:41:37,639
of them happens to be Dana lash at Radio. Craigzy,

of social media interaction with me, that is available to you.

871
00:41:43,519 --> 00:41:46,159
If you care about the filling dude, I'd be awesome

872
00:41:46,159 --> 00:41:48,440
if you did. You don't have to, No one usually does.

873
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,519
Speaker 2: Anyway. I think this is interesting.

874
00:41:51,079 --> 00:41:54,639
Speaker 1: CNN has had to admit on air that Donald Trump

875
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,760
is incredible when it comes to endorsements within the Republican Party,

876
00:41:59,079 --> 00:42:02,000
and then they were further forced to admit the reason

877
00:42:02,039 --> 00:42:06,840
why this is about Darlene Graham, the sister of late

878
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,760
Lindsey Graham, who will actually be running for the Senate

879
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,960
seat that she has been appointed to to finish out

880
00:42:13,159 --> 00:42:15,719
Lindsay's term in office. She will be running for the

881
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,519
full six year term after that point. This is incredible

882
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,639
data and I don't know that CNN loves to talk

883
00:42:22,679 --> 00:42:26,840
about it. I'm thrilled by the way that Darlene's actually

884
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,800
gonna run, mostly because of the family dynamic of Lindsay

885
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,719
and Darlene. He raised her, and it's a really emotional

886
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,719
type of story that I think anybody, whether you hate

887
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,559
the politicians or like them, can respond to. Their parents

888
00:42:41,599 --> 00:42:44,239
died when she was still a kid, and Lindsay was

889
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,800
in his twenties and he raised her. He you know,

890
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,400
finished up bringing her up in this life and turning

891
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,480
her into the woman.

892
00:42:50,639 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 2: That she is today.

893
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: And she's grateful to him for it, and it's sort

894
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,199
of a kind of cool thing from an emotional perspective.

895
00:42:57,519 --> 00:43:00,400
If she were to actually win the race, least two

896
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,760
other candidates who have said that they will run, but

897
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,719
Trump has endorsed Darlene, and apparently that's going to go really,

898
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:06,360
really well.

899
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 2: According again to CNN.

900
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,119
Speaker 7: Jarlene Graham's chances have rocketed up because rarely has the

901
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,199
power of one man and his endorsements and primary has

902
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:15,920
been as strong with Donald Trump. Why don't we take

903
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,800
a look here, okay, chance to win the South Carolina

904
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,280
special Republican primary Darling Graham. On Friday, she stood at

905
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,079
just a fourteen percent chance according to the Casher prediction markets.

906
00:43:25,159 --> 00:43:26,199
Speaker 4: As I sat up like.

907
00:43:26,159 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 7: A rock right now, an eighty percent chance as the

908
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Trump endorsement is coming again the power of One Man,

909
00:43:32,119 --> 00:43:34,440
and Graham herself saying that in fact, she is going

910
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,760
to run full the third term, So we're seeing an

911
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,119
eighty percent chance, Like, that's not one hundred percent, but

912
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,159
it is way way higher than fourteen percent chance.

913
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: She love the fact that he's like, it's not one hundred.

914
00:43:44,119 --> 00:43:45,840
I mean, it really could be one hundred. The other

915
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,920
two candidates that have jumped in the race are pulling

916
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,400
it like ten and nine percent. I think Darlene actually

917
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,880
has an eighty one percent chance according to the most

918
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,719
recent market predictions, to win this seat. And I think

919
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,320
that a lot could potentially change either good or bad,

920
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,480
And there's not a lot of good to go as

921
00:44:01,519 --> 00:44:03,960
far as how much more up she can go than

922
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,039
that percentage based on how she does the job. Like

923
00:44:07,119 --> 00:44:09,639
the interesting thing about the scenario that she's been thrust

924
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,239
into is that she'll actually get to wield the power

925
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,840
of the Senate seat as the junior Senator at South

926
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:19,920
Carolina for a while before inevitably seeing what happens within

927
00:44:20,119 --> 00:44:23,920
the race itself. And that could be because Lindsey Graham

928
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,039
would have been a showing to be reelected. That could

929
00:44:27,039 --> 00:44:29,280
be the kind of thing that helps her, you know,

930
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,000
set in stone her ability to actually win the seat outright.

931
00:44:33,519 --> 00:44:36,519
But CNN went on further to talk about something that

932
00:44:36,599 --> 00:44:39,239
is even more significant in the world of President Trump

933
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:44,079
and his endorsements. He is still wildly popular with Republicans.

934
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,519
Everyone everywhere in the world of media, including some crazy

935
00:44:48,559 --> 00:44:51,400
people in podcast to stand places, will tell you that

936
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,199
Trump and Maga is over, that the appeal is done,

937
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,400
that people don't like him anymore, that you know, everyone's

938
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,320
moved on to something else, and some even advocate and

939
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,760
this is crazy, and I've seen it like voting for

940
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,760
Democrats because that's the best way to show Republicans that

941
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,880
you're actually fighting against them for a short time and

942
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,960
then hopefully they wise up and then you'll vote for

943
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,400
them again. Let the other more terrible side win an election,

944
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,800
which is crazy, But anyway, it's a thing that's actually happening.

945
00:45:18,079 --> 00:45:21,800
Here is CNN saying, you know, when we compare Trump

946
00:45:22,159 --> 00:45:26,119
to Obama to Bush, to anybody, he has this one

947
00:45:26,199 --> 00:45:28,440
thing that they didn't even have, to a degree that

948
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,440
they didn't have it. That probably demonstrates why he's doing

949
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,079
so well in primary endorsements.

950
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 7: One reason why is because Trump is still very popular

951
00:45:36,039 --> 00:45:38,800
with Republicans. Just take a look here, okay, twenty first

952
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,320
century own party approval rating about at this point a

953
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,000
second term. We got Trump, we got Obama, we got Bush.

954
00:45:44,159 --> 00:45:46,800
Look the real fairly popular. But the one who is

955
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,079
the most popular, and we have seen this time and

956
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,960
time out, no matter when you look.

957
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 4: Is Donald John Trump.

958
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 7: He's the only one who's over eighty percent. Eighty three

959
00:45:54,519 --> 00:45:57,079
percent of Republicans still approve of the job that Donald

960
00:45:57,119 --> 00:45:59,880
Trump is doing as president. He still has that magic.

961
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,400
We'll see if it carries over to South Carolina. But

962
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,800
we've seen it in primaries this year cent A primaries,

963
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,840
and is because he is still a very popular man,

964
00:46:07,079 --> 00:46:09,519
historically popular when it comes to his own party.

965
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,599
Speaker 1: I wonder how hard it is for them to say this.

966
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,880
I don't think it's hard for Harry Enton at this point.

967
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,480
He said stuff like this a ton on CNN. But

968
00:46:16,559 --> 00:46:18,400
it does seem very often like it's hard for the

969
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,079
people that he's on the TV with to hear it

970
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,800
as they say it. But yes, President Trump is still

971
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,400
wildly popular according to the polls with people who identify

972
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,480
as Republicans now. Granted, one aspect of this that you

973
00:46:30,559 --> 00:46:33,440
might throw at your radio or say and I can't

974
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,639
hear you if you do it is that maybe more

975
00:46:35,679 --> 00:46:38,679
and more people are not identifying as Republicans now and

976
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,880
are identifying as independents. I'm sure there's their own study

977
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,360
out there that disproves or proves that, and I think

978
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,800
from the data I've actually seen, because I have seen

979
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,000
some of this, there's a small amount of people that

980
00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:51,800
would fall into this category, but not the sizeable amount

981
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,360
that people would say. But I think this really is

982
00:46:54,559 --> 00:46:57,599
a sort of a demonstration of the likelihood of who

983
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,559
runs in the next few years. I fill in on

984
00:47:00,599 --> 00:47:03,239
other radio stations throughout the country. I'm going to shout

985
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,639
out another DANTA affiliate, WIBC in Indianapolis, because I happened

986
00:47:07,679 --> 00:47:09,480
to work for them quite a bit and I was

987
00:47:09,519 --> 00:47:12,320
doing a show recently and I saw someone in their

988
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,159
social media chat say that they don't want JD. Vance,

989
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,920
they want Marco Rubio, And what I thought was interesting

990
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,519
about that and how that kind of relates to the

991
00:47:20,559 --> 00:47:23,719
discussion I'm having right now, is that I do think

992
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,360
the heir apparent to President Trump is in his orbit,

993
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,440
whether that is someone who is behaving a way that

994
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,480
they'd like or someone that might be misbehaving, And we're

995
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,119
not really sure how far that goes. There are certainly

996
00:47:37,159 --> 00:47:39,480
a lot of people who think that JD. Vance is

997
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,440
already trying to stake his claim on the future, and

998
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:47,360
in doing so might not always be playing completely aligned.

999
00:47:47,079 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 2: With President Trump.

1000
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,119
Speaker 1: I don't know that I always agree with that, but

1001
00:47:49,159 --> 00:47:51,199
I can see it. There's times where I can see

1002
00:47:51,199 --> 00:47:54,760
certain interviews that Jdvan SIT's down for with people who've

1003
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,639
said that Trump is the most horrible person ever, and

1004
00:47:57,679 --> 00:47:59,960
I don't think Trump would actually care. But I don't

1005
00:48:00,159 --> 00:48:02,119
what the optics of that look like as far as

1006
00:48:02,119 --> 00:48:05,639
the vice president entertaining these spaces the way he does

1007
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,760
and also not trying to hold the feet to the

1008
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,599
fire of the people who've crapped on his boss. Now,

1009
00:48:10,599 --> 00:48:14,320
but I also understand the appeal of a Marco Rubio specifically,

1010
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,159
because I think, much like Vance to some of us,

1011
00:48:18,199 --> 00:48:20,920
not all of us, and maybe more people feel this

1012
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,119
way about Rubio. There's that ability to say the same

1013
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,639
stuff that President Trump has said, just say it in

1014
00:48:28,679 --> 00:48:32,800
a different way and seemingly get around, at least for now,

1015
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,599
at least while they're comparing these people to the devil incarnate,

1016
00:48:36,599 --> 00:48:39,360
as they've told us Trump is for so long, get

1017
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,039
around the level of attack that Trump gets when he

1018
00:48:42,079 --> 00:48:45,960
says something slightly differently. Now, granted, I am also curious,

1019
00:48:47,039 --> 00:48:49,599
and I know this is twenty twenty six before a

1020
00:48:49,639 --> 00:48:52,679
midterm election, so it's probably premature to say this, but

1021
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,880
I am curious, much like you saw in the short

1022
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,400
window of time when some believe that Ron DeSantis actually

1023
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,920
would have a show at defeating Trump and being the

1024
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:06,159
candidate for the presidency. In twenty twenty four, media turned

1025
00:49:06,159 --> 00:49:08,679
on him like crazy, Imania attacked him, said he was

1026
00:49:08,679 --> 00:49:11,519
worse than Trump Trump two point zero, all that stuff,

1027
00:49:11,639 --> 00:49:14,559
all the things that inevitably they still did to President

1028
00:49:14,559 --> 00:49:18,039
Trump before he got elected, they were doing to Ron DeSantis,

1029
00:49:18,559 --> 00:49:21,599
and then eventually that whole thing cratered. Anyway, and so

1030
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,519
I do wonder how long the pause is, because I

1031
00:49:24,559 --> 00:49:27,280
don't think it's all that much longer till people start

1032
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,239
viciously attacking these other potential candidates. And the reason I

1033
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,239
say this, and it's not shocking at all, it's fairly

1034
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,360
obvious that the heir apparent to the current president is

1035
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,199
probably someone within his administration. That's much almost always the

1036
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,079
case in the world of who we see inevitably run

1037
00:49:45,559 --> 00:49:48,360
for the position next. But what I think is really

1038
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,719
interesting is if you look at the left and the

1039
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,159
people that they're likely to run, and I know that

1040
00:49:53,199 --> 00:49:56,480
Harris still does surprisingly well in the world of some

1041
00:49:56,559 --> 00:49:59,280
of those polls that are out there, which is crazy,

1042
00:49:59,519 --> 00:50:01,599
and I'd be thrilled to watch her try to run

1043
00:50:01,599 --> 00:50:04,639
again because I think it would be historically terrible, Although

1044
00:50:04,639 --> 00:50:07,599
if she actually has to win some primary races, I

1045
00:50:07,639 --> 00:50:10,360
think even the Democrats will tell her that they'd rather

1046
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,000
not have her be the candidate, as they've told her before.

1047
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,000
But Democrats are essentially searching for someone at a left field.

1048
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,960
They'd like to have someone out of nowhere. The haircuts,

1049
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,519
Gavin Newsom, whoever, the other band aids that they've popped

1050
00:50:23,519 --> 00:50:27,000
around all have a myriad of ridiculous problems. And so

1051
00:50:27,079 --> 00:50:29,960
it's really interesting to think about the side of the

1052
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,880
isle that's going to bring in someone that you probably know,

1053
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,239
that you're probably familiar with, and over the next couple

1054
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,360
of years might see even more often, whether that's Rubio

1055
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,639
or Vance or anyone else. And then the side of

1056
00:50:41,639 --> 00:50:43,800
the aisle that's going to essentially look for their Barack

1057
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:48,320
Obama all over again, someone who has a meteoric rise

1058
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,360
throughout the party during a primary season and winds up

1059
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,960
being the inevitable candidate that they thrust forward and hopefully

1060
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,920
win an election with. I say hopefully for them, not me.

1061
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,840
It would be terrible to see someone win on that

1062
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,480
side again. And of course I actually do believe, and

1063
00:51:04,559 --> 00:51:06,960
maybe partially this is a weird thing to just keep

1064
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,960
talking about, but I can't help it. My brain has

1065
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,559
fallen into this hole and now I'm here. I partially

1066
00:51:13,599 --> 00:51:16,400
think the reason that it seems so likely to a

1067
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,199
lot of us that a Republican could win in twenty

1068
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,719
twenty eight is because Trump is a split term president.

1069
00:51:23,199 --> 00:51:25,960
I think that if we didn't have the horribleness of

1070
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:30,119
Joe Biden for four years in between the two Trump presidencies,

1071
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,280
there'd be a higher likelihood that a race between these

1072
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,119
parties might be closer. Even though you say the bench

1073
00:51:37,159 --> 00:51:39,760
on the left is terrible, that you can't really identify

1074
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,840
who on it has any value in a national race,

1075
00:51:43,079 --> 00:51:45,079
and you can find several people on the bench on

1076
00:51:45,119 --> 00:51:46,400
the conservative side of the aisle.

1077
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:47,519
Speaker 2: But I digress.

1078
00:51:47,679 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 1: I really do think a portion of it is the

1079
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,960
fact that you had a four year reminder that's going

1080
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,280
to be much more recent than it would have been

1081
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,440
if Trump had served consecutive terms telling you that if

1082
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,840
you go this road, things get way worse, not better.

1083
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,119
One last thing that I do want to play before

1084
00:52:04,159 --> 00:52:06,440
I take a break, and I just thought it was interesting,

1085
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,360
and it is a Trump audio. He was asked several

1086
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,599
questions today about Iran about what's going to happen next.

1087
00:52:13,159 --> 00:52:15,079
In one point, he said that they might even be

1088
00:52:15,199 --> 00:52:17,840
trying to recreate some of their nuclear sites and those

1089
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,639
are going to get blown up again, and that essentially,

1090
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:24,400
as you've heard for a while with Iran and the President,

1091
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,840
they've failed to come to the realization that they inevitably

1092
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,599
have to come to, which is that they're profoundly losing

1093
00:52:31,039 --> 00:52:35,039
this conflict against us, even after very tragically, there was

1094
00:52:35,079 --> 00:52:39,280
a loss of a US military lives very recently. By

1095
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,480
and large, the US is not losing. They're winning this

1096
00:52:42,519 --> 00:52:45,360
fight on the ground or in the air, wherever you

1097
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,079
want to say, they're fighting it. The only way in

1098
00:52:48,079 --> 00:52:51,760
which they're potentially losing anything, or we this country is

1099
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,480
losing anything is in the world of our media and

1100
00:52:54,519 --> 00:52:56,719
the way that our media wants to shape this discussion.

1101
00:52:57,079 --> 00:53:00,840
But Trump said one thing which he's said before, which

1102
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,239
I wonder if it will inevitably actually be the projection

1103
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,159
of what does occur. That'll probably quiet all that noise.

1104
00:53:08,199 --> 00:53:10,719
Whether they'll scream and yell that he's a horrible person,

1105
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,440
which they'd probably do even louder. This might be the

1106
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,719
hand being tipped that something different is coming and coming soon.

1107
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:22,800
When asked about our actions in Iran, he described what

1108
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,840
we've done so far as being nice.

1109
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:29,679
Speaker 6: If we left today, it would take them decades to rebuild,

1110
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,880
and I don't believe they could ever rebuild, and honestly,

1111
00:53:34,079 --> 00:53:38,639
they haven't seen anything yet. We've been nice. We've been nice.

1112
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Because there have been discussions about what infrastructure moves

1113
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,159
the US could make to take out certain things, and again,

1114
00:53:45,199 --> 00:53:47,000
of course take them out in a way that we

1115
00:53:47,039 --> 00:53:50,960
would validate from a military standpoint that would cripple them

1116
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,119
even further. And Iran seems to be demanding we do

1117
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:58,559
that as they continue to reject every scenario that seems

1118
00:53:58,559 --> 00:54:01,920
to accept the world that acts surrounds them as reality.

1119
00:54:02,159 --> 00:54:04,039
They seem to very much be in denial about that.

1120
00:54:04,159 --> 00:54:07,239
And unfortunately, in things like this, and I know that

1121
00:54:07,519 --> 00:54:10,159
Dana has talked about this before too, you have to

1122
00:54:10,199 --> 00:54:13,519
step up at that point and do more to hopefully

1123
00:54:13,519 --> 00:54:15,800
make the whole rest of this thing quick and easy

1124
00:54:16,159 --> 00:54:18,440
and over all. Right, quick break, A little bit more

1125
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,920
coming up. Creig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

1126
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 11: We have a lot more on the way as we

1127
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,199
move our partners that he'll bring you the program. It's

1128
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,599
the folks over at Relief Factor. Relief Factor to get

1129
00:54:26,639 --> 00:54:29,719
relief from everyday aches and pains. It's a one hundred

1130
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:33,320
percent drug free way to do so. Relief Factor wants

1131
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,599
me to tell you about this guy named Chris who's

1132
00:54:36,079 --> 00:54:39,199
wrote to them and said people's lives are actually changing.

1133
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,760
He said he's spent years doing physical work that left

1134
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,639
his feet aching every day, and after starting Relief Factor,

1135
00:54:45,679 --> 00:54:48,559
he felt so much better that he accomplished something he'd

1136
00:54:48,559 --> 00:54:51,679
never done before, He ran a half marathon. Now he

1137
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,119
recommends Relief Factor to friends because he's experienced the difference firsthand.

1138
00:54:56,679 --> 00:54:59,039

to fight inflammation, the root cause of most pain and

1142
00:55:06,639 --> 00:55:09,320
most millions of people have found relief from Relief Factor,

1143
00:55:09,599 --> 00:55:12,880

three week quick start for just seventeen seventy six. You

1145
00:55:16,039 --> 00:55:18,639
can visit relieffactor dot com or call eight hundred and

1146
00:55:18,639 --> 00:55:21,400
four Relief and speak with one of their US based

1147
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,840
team and find out if Relief Factor can help get

1148
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,840
you back to doing what you love.

1149
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,199
Speaker 8: And now all of the news you would probably miss,

1150
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,119
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

1151
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,639
Speaker 1: That's right, it's time for a quick five on the

1152
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:37,440
Dana Show. D Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X a

1153
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,559
great way to stay connected to her. If you still

1154
00:55:39,559 --> 00:55:41,960
call it Twitter, you're wrong, even though I don't blame

1155
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,000
you for doing it, because I, in fact also still

1156
00:55:44,039 --> 00:55:46,960
do that, but it's not called that anymore. I actually

1157
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,320
had a young person correct me when I said that

1158
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,000
young person of me a twenty something, I'm a forty

1159
00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:55,320
year old man. Because I still call it the Twitter occasionally,

1160
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,760
I really wish that I used the in front of

1161
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,519
it too, because that would make them even more upset.

1162
00:56:00,039 --> 00:56:02,519
Let's move on other things out there. A Jimothy the

1163
00:56:02,599 --> 00:56:06,519
raccoon is taking over social media. It's a raccoon in

1164
00:56:06,559 --> 00:56:09,639
Seattle that's got a weird hump, like a weird spinal thing,

1165
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,760
so I guess it's kind of like a quasi modo raccoon.

1166
00:56:13,159 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 2: I have audio.

1167
00:56:14,199 --> 00:56:16,039
Speaker 1: I don't know how valuable it is if people just

1168
00:56:16,079 --> 00:56:19,159
freaking out that they're seeing Jimothy, at least that's what

1169
00:56:19,199 --> 00:56:22,480
they've named him, the raccoon with a short spine syndrome.

1170
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:24,519
I'll go ahead and play it, why not, and then

1171
00:56:24,519 --> 00:56:26,760
we'll o that's way too loud. Let's go ahead and

1172
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,119
fix that audio first before we do that again. Sorry

1173
00:56:29,159 --> 00:56:30,199
for anyone's years that I broke.

1174
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:31,679
Speaker 2: Let's am I looking at you?

1175
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:36,119
Speaker 5: Have the strangest body, buddy cow.

1176
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he went viral because somebody found him and said

1177
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,639
he had the strangest body, and then other people seem

1178
00:56:40,679 --> 00:56:42,840
to find him again and now he's a celebrity. The

1179
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,320
thing that depresses me, the thing that I most thought

1180
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,360
of when I saw this story is how much money

1181
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,000
Jimothy could be worth if he had his own social

1182
00:56:50,039 --> 00:56:50,880
media profile.

1183
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:52,639
Speaker 2: How much more money than me.

1184
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 1: I think is the right way to say it, that

1185
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,199
he would be worth. These always upset me, these types

1186
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:57,760
of stories.

1187
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 2: They shouldn't.

1188
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:02,559
Speaker 1: It's not about me, it's about Jimothy. But nonetheless, like

1189
00:57:02,639 --> 00:57:05,599
that's all it takes. You just DoPT this raccoon. If

1190
00:57:05,639 --> 00:57:07,519
that's something you can do. I don't think you can

1191
00:57:07,559 --> 00:57:10,000
do that legally. I'll start pumping out the social media

1192
00:57:10,079 --> 00:57:12,039
videos and boom, all of a sudden, you live in

1193
00:57:12,079 --> 00:57:14,239
a mansion. That's how the world in which we live

1194
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,480
currently it works. And that's probably not good. But ah,

1195
00:57:17,519 --> 00:57:19,920
who knows. I might be going there and trying to

1196
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,119
catch Jimothy in the near future for his sake, not

1197
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,800
for it's for mine. Another story that I had referenced before,

1198
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,880
and I'll actually pay off here. Colorado police arrested a

1199
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,440
guy from Arizona who for some reason, was in Colorado

1200
00:57:35,079 --> 00:57:36,079
surfing a train.

1201
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:37,239
Speaker 2: He had broken a.

1202
00:57:37,199 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: Window on a non commuter train, climbed up to the

1203
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,760
top of it and was caught trying to surf it

1204
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,800
or enjoying being up there. And I guess the part

1205
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:51,079
that made the story go viral naked and I asked

1206
00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:52,719
this question before, and I'll ask it again.

1207
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,199
Speaker 2: The guy's name is Daniel.

1208
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why you incorporate the nudity stuff. Daniel,

1209
00:57:59,079 --> 00:58:02,480
apparently being arrested, this was my favorite part of the story,

1210
00:58:03,039 --> 00:58:07,239
expressed his love of end I quote, vodka, beer and

1211
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,639
playing the banjo. I don't know if they were in

1212
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,840
order or if that was an out of order version

1213
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,239
of a list, but vodka, beer and playing the banjo

1214
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,880
all seemed like things that the naked guy in the

1215
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,840
train probably loves. I don't know if he also loves

1216
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,960
felony and misdemeanor charges because he's gonna get some of

1217
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,320
those he was arrested. This is something you should not do.

1218
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,199
But one more time, I guess, just for the cheap

1219
00:58:29,239 --> 00:58:31,119
seats in the back. I would love to know the

1220
00:58:31,159 --> 00:58:33,559
answer to the question. I would love a psychologist to

1221
00:58:33,559 --> 00:58:35,400
study it. I don't want to be the one to

1222
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,280
do it and tell me why people in the news

1223
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,039
also occasionally get naked.

1224
00:58:40,599 --> 00:58:42,079
Speaker 2: What is it that's happening there.

1225
00:58:42,239 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: Is it just mental health problems that caused them to

1226
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,039
strip the clothes off?

1227
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 2: Is there other reasons?

1228
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: And I think I've said this on this show before,

1229
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,440
but I know I've said it filling in on Radio

1230
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:56,119
America content before. It's actually the most intimidating thing that

1231
00:58:56,159 --> 00:58:59,320
I could witness a stranger do. Like if I was

1232
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,960
around to stray who was armed, as a guy who

1233
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,559
lives in Texas and is armed myself, I would be

1234
00:59:04,719 --> 00:59:07,519
less intimidated. That's a situation where I'd be like, well,

1235
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,840
one of the two of us is surviving this situation.

1236
00:59:10,199 --> 00:59:13,360
But a situation where a dude is acting crazy and

1237
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,280
then is also totally naked, it hits me in a

1238
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,079
different way, Like it causes a different set of fears

1239
00:59:19,159 --> 00:59:21,320
I think to take over for a lot of us,

1240
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,880
And so to me, that actually would be more intimidating.

1241
00:59:24,159 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 2: And I don't know why that is.

1242
00:59:25,519 --> 00:59:27,239
Speaker 1: And I've admitted that in the past, and I've been

1243
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,239
sent messages where people say they don't think that that's true,

1244
00:59:30,519 --> 00:59:32,559
but I promise you it is. Man, I think I

1245
00:59:32,559 --> 00:59:36,719
could better handle someone armed who was threatening me than

1246
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:40,280
I could handle someone who's just randomly naked, acting in

1247
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,199
a way that I would really like them to stay

1248
00:59:42,199 --> 00:59:44,199
on their side of the street and not come over

1249
00:59:44,239 --> 00:59:47,239
to mine. Quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling

1250
00:59:47,239 --> 00:59:50,920
in on the Dana Show. This is the Dana Show.

1251
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,079
My name is Craig Collins, filling in with you. Thrilled

1252
00:59:54,119 --> 00:59:56,599
to be with you at d LASH or Dana Lash

1253
00:59:56,679 --> 01:00:00,679
Radio on x Great ways to stay connected to her radio. Craigsy,

1254
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,599
if you want to make me look more legitimate in

1255
01:00:02,599 --> 01:00:05,159
this field is what I usually say. I'm a thrilled

1256
01:00:05,199 --> 01:00:06,880
to be in here, and I need to just try

1257
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,360
harder on social media in general. All Right, A couple

1258
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,400
quick things before we go. Gen Z is going broke

1259
01:00:12,599 --> 01:00:15,000
because they're not telling their friends they need to be

1260
01:00:15,119 --> 01:00:17,960
paid back. A new study found that when you go

1261
01:00:18,039 --> 01:00:20,920
out as a group and somebody offers to cover the tab,

1262
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,719
that person might not actually be able to afford it,

1263
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,400
but it's just easier than splitting up the bills. So

1264
01:00:26,519 --> 01:00:29,159
one person does it, maybe the same person does it

1265
01:00:29,199 --> 01:00:32,519
a lot, and then nobody's actually paying them back. I've

1266
01:00:32,559 --> 01:00:35,440
been on both sides of this equation, which is crazy

1267
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,880
because I've never really been a person who should be

1268
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:39,920
picking up the tab all the time. That's not something

1269
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,199
I should do. I think that Dave Ramsey would tell

1270
01:00:43,199 --> 01:00:46,039
me no in that world. But nonetheless, what I think

1271
01:00:46,079 --> 01:00:48,119
is interesting about this is that when you do it,

1272
01:00:48,519 --> 01:00:50,239
no matter how big the group is, even if it's

1273
01:00:50,239 --> 01:00:53,000
only a few people, it does feel a little awkward

1274
01:00:53,119 --> 01:00:55,280
to be like, hey, you know that money that I

1275
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:56,559
threw down on you that you said you were going

1276
01:00:56,599 --> 01:00:57,119
to pay me back.

1277
01:00:57,159 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 2: It's been a few days.

1278
01:00:58,599 --> 01:01:00,719
Speaker 1: So usually the best way to hand handle this I

1279
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,639
have found as an adult person who can have a

1280
01:01:03,679 --> 01:01:06,599
conversation with other adult people is to do it in

1281
01:01:06,639 --> 01:01:09,239
the moment. If you're the one throwing down the credit card.

1282
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,119
We all have electronic ways to pay each other. Just

1283
01:01:12,239 --> 01:01:14,679
get it done. I don't let it sit around. Don't

1284
01:01:14,719 --> 01:01:17,039
do it that way. Just have some people send you

1285
01:01:17,039 --> 01:01:19,199
some money. Have it done by the end of the

1286
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,519
night or the next day. Like, don't let it live

1287
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,760
out there in the ether for longer than that, because then, yeah,

1288
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:26,719
it gets harder to bring it up. And your friends

1289
01:01:26,719 --> 01:01:29,159
are also terrible people if they don't just pay you

1290
01:01:29,199 --> 01:01:31,800
back on their own And maybe they're doing it because

1291
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,280
they assume you're wealthier than they are. And that's a

1292
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,639
problem in a whole different way, especially if you're not

1293
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,000
You're just the one that's usually most honest about being

1294
01:01:40,039 --> 01:01:41,840
like a I'll just take care of it if none

1295
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,840
of you people can do math. I always like to

1296
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,760
split a bill, not with my wife. Actually, I will

1297
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,559
say that for this topic. I pretty much paid for

1298
01:01:49,599 --> 01:01:52,039
everything the entire time we were dating. And what I

1299
01:01:52,159 --> 01:01:56,000
like about that is even now and all our money

1300
01:01:56,039 --> 01:01:59,000
is shared, everything goes into the same bank account, I'm

1301
01:01:59,039 --> 01:02:00,840
the one who gets to pay, and so I feel

1302
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:01,440
good about that.

1303
01:02:01,599 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 2: Although once we go home, if I.

1304
01:02:03,199 --> 01:02:05,599
Speaker 1: Ever brag about it, she reminds me that it's her

1305
01:02:05,639 --> 01:02:07,480
money too, and I'm like, okay, fine, But I just

1306
01:02:07,599 --> 01:02:09,840
like the dynamic of that. I think I always will,

1307
01:02:10,159 --> 01:02:12,199
and I like that I trained us to do it

1308
01:02:12,239 --> 01:02:14,960
that way when I was actually spending my own money.

1309
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,559
Another story out there that I liked before we get

1310
01:02:18,559 --> 01:02:21,280
out of here for the day. This was a Dear

1311
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:25,039
Abbey that a married woman sent about her husband. I

1312
01:02:25,039 --> 01:02:26,960
think they've been married for a while. They're both in

1313
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,360
their late fifties. She said that she can no longer

1314
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:34,199
tolerate a long car trip with her husband, and she

1315
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,440
defined a long car trip as anything that's an hour

1316
01:02:36,599 --> 01:02:39,119
or more. She says it takes at least that long

1317
01:02:39,159 --> 01:02:42,039
to visit the grand babies and that she really really

1318
01:02:42,119 --> 01:02:44,559
needs to find a way to do this on her own.

1319
01:02:45,239 --> 01:02:50,719
Many many people have done the bedroom divorce, I think

1320
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,599
is what it's called, where you split up the bedroom

1321
01:02:53,639 --> 01:02:55,800
into two places and you both sleep in your own place.

1322
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,760
My wife and I don't do that. I like that

1323
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,320
we don't do that for ryety of reasons. I'm not

1324
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,360
going to get into on the radio, but I know

1325
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,199
the people that do. My wife somehow deals with my snoring,

1326
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,599
and I'm impressed that she's figured it out. I think

1327
01:03:08,639 --> 01:03:11,840
earplugs is probably a big part of said solution. But

1328
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,400
nonetheless I think that this is probably the next step.

1329
01:03:14,679 --> 01:03:16,280
Like I don't want to spend this time with you,

1330
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,039
now I don't want to spend that time with you.

1331
01:03:18,639 --> 01:03:20,519
It might be a time to consider that maybe the

1332
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,559
relationship as a whole isn't going well. If you can't

1333
01:03:23,559 --> 01:03:25,960
be trapped in the car for an hour with someone,

1334
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,760
maybe there's some other challenges to have. But I just

1335
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:30,960
really like the way it was written, because a lot

1336
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,679
of it seemed fairly amusing and to be honest. If

1337
01:03:33,719 --> 01:03:36,280
I was the dude and I was in a healthy

1338
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,079
relationship and I read this or saw this being said

1339
01:03:39,119 --> 01:03:41,480
about me, I'd find a way to fix it. I'd

1340
01:03:41,519 --> 01:03:43,079
find a way to do whatever you need to do.

1341
01:03:43,639 --> 01:03:46,400
Maybe talk a little less, I'll play a little bit

1342
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,960
different music, whatever it might be, whatever the complaint is,

1343
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,000
I might find a way to placate the person in

1344
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,679
my life, as opposed to allow them to drive separate

1345
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:55,440
because I.

1346
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 2: Can't be tolerated.

1347
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: But again, that really depends on how much of this

1348
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,880
is fair for how much of this is unfair complaining

1349
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,079
because and I'll just admit this, and I kind of

1350
01:04:05,119 --> 01:04:06,800
love that this is a thing that gets said about

1351
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,920
my wife and I all the time. If you've ever

1352
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:11,440
seen the movie Up and the very beginning of the movie,

1353
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,519
where the two characters are established, one that talks a lot,

1354
01:04:14,639 --> 01:04:17,159
one that doesn't talk at all, we are the reverse

1355
01:04:17,199 --> 01:04:21,039
of those characters. I am the very talkative person. She

1356
01:04:21,239 --> 01:04:23,920
is the very quiet listener person. And it works great

1357
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,440
for us. Sometimes I got to learn to shut up, though,

1358
01:04:26,599 --> 01:04:27,559
See you guys next time.

1359
