1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,919
Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show. My name is Greg Collins,

2
00:00:04,919 --> 00:00:07,919
filling in. Thrilled to be with you d Lash Dana

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,839
Lash Radio an X A great way to stay connected

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,400
to her and everything going on with this very fancy

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,000
show that I get a chance to fill in on

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,359
at Radio Greg Z if you want to follow me

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,399
the random filling guy today. Marco Rubio said a lot

8
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:23,719
in the last twenty four hours, and I liked a

9
00:00:23,719 --> 00:00:26,320
lot of the things that Marco Rubio said. He was

10
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:30,199
talking about Cuba, about Iran, there were comments about China.

11
00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:31,839
So I think we're just going to go through a

12
00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:35,640
bunch of the things out there from Rubio, and let's

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,240
start with Cuba, because I think this is becoming a

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,039
fairly dominant story to a lot of people that are

15
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:46,000
paying any kind of attention what's going on in Cuba

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,200
and the potential of the United States to be involved.

17
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:51,079
And I think I even saw like a deep dive

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,079
thought piece about how Cuba just really wants Rubio to

19
00:00:55,119 --> 00:00:57,960
not have a job anymore, essentially meaning they want to

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,920
wait him out and hopefully have nothing happen. I doubt

21
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:03,880
very much. I'll say this, I doubt very much. People

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,519
right now here in the United States would want us

23
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:09,120
in another conflict with the way that we feel about

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,159
what's going on in Iran. The vast majority of Americans,

25
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:15,599
even if I think people some of them at least

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,959
understand that it's too late to not be in this

27
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:22,359
conflict and we can't just exit because exiting now and

28
00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:24,959
giving into Iran would be the worst version of what

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,920
has happened so far. But I think a lot of

30
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,079
people understand that that if we could go back in time,

31
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:32,599
many many prefer that we hadn't done this now. Granted,

32
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,760
if Iran had acquired a nuclear weapon and say, like

33
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:38,239
a year, I think you do the same thing. You

34
00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:40,280
rewind the clock and say, man, I wish someone had

35
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:43,400
done something, and President Trump did do something before we

36
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:47,079
got there. But anyway, here is Marco Rubio talking about Cuba,

37
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:50,959
talking about our desire for a free Cuba, specifically, he'll

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,200
be in power with us.

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,959
Speaker 2: So you want me to give you details on our plan?

40
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, not today. No, I'm not going to do that.

41
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,879
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you this. No, No, here's what

42
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,439
I told you. And this is the truth. The people

43
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:00,760
who are in charge of the country don't know what

44
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:02,920
they're doing. They don't know, they don't know how to

45
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,640
fix their economy, they don't know how, they don't understand

46
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:08,599
basic concepts. And I think the challenge that Cuba has

47
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,840
faced for the last fifteen years is they want to

48
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,000
somewhat improve their economy, but they're afraid that if they

49
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,520
improve it too much to lose political control over people.

50
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,599
That's the challenge that they face. So I think for us,

51
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,240
we are looking for an opportunity to influence a direction

52
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,199
that that goes because it's ninety miles from our shores,

53
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,159
and we want Cuba to be prosperous. We want Cuba

54
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:26,840
to be free.

55
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: That's the most important part too, by the way, prosperous, fine, free, Absolutely, yes,

56
00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:35,479
that is the most important aspect of this discussion. And

57
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,960
I think that it's going to be something that comes

58
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:40,719
up quite a bit more, and Rubio is uniquely focused

59
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,159
on the idea of it and how we exactly get

60
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:46,479
that done and who is and isn't involved in making

61
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,280
that happen. He also talked about a relationship with China

62
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,000
and how important it was to this country and how

63
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:54,199
a lot of times you see some of these other

64
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,120
countries that we're talking about Iran, Cuba, whoever it might be,

65
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,759
and the concern we have about their relationships with China

66
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:04,840
and how those could potentially impact us as well. So yeah, sure,

67
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:07,840
we want things to be great. We're also not idiots.

68
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:10,000
We're paying attention to the stuff that could be in

69
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,439
some way or is in some way used against us.

70
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, we're a treaty ally. I mean,

71
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:18,000
the United States and the Philippines have a treaty, and

72
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,120
so we will live by that treaty. We're committed to

73
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:25,240
supporting our treaty partners. And you know, obviously we've already

74
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,840
done quite a bit. In fact, there was a US

75
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,759
Coast Guard vessel in the region at the time that

76
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,759
this happened and actually helped stand between the two sides

77
00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:35,000
and allowed the individual who was injured to be rescued

78
00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:38,039
and brought back for medical treatment. So we already here,

79
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:39,840
we're already present, we have a role, and we're not

80
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:42,240
going to abandon our allies. We've made that abundantly clear.

81
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,159
We're going to have to have a good relationship with China. Okay,

82
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:47,599
these are the two most powerful economies in the world,

83
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,319
too large militaries to nuclear powers. We have to have

84
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,159
a relationship with China. We want it to be as

85
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:54,719
positive as it possibly can be, but that won't come

86
00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:56,919
at the expense of our allies and our partners in

87
00:03:56,919 --> 00:03:58,560
the region, or our presence here either.

88
00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:01,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that it's actually a reflection of exactly

89
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:03,719
what I'm saying a second ago, in reverse, in how

90
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:06,280
China treats some of the people some of the countries

91
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:11,120
around us. There's a willingness to work with people in

92
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:13,520
a way that both concerns us about them and I

93
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,040
guess what we do that concerns them about how we

94
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,199
behave et cetera, et cetera. But at the end of

95
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:22,120
the day, and Rubio does say this well, and honestly,

96
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,759
I'll say this about his role as the Secretary of State,

97
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,439
I think he's been great on an international stage. I

98
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:31,720
think there's been times where he's delivered a tough message

99
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:34,399
in a way that seems well received by the people

100
00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:37,399
he's delivering it too. But some of these things just

101
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:40,879
simply need to be said. The direction that Cuba takes

102
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,839
is incredibly important to us. Our relationship with China is

103
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,120
important to us. Our relationship with the Philippines import to us.

104
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,639
All these things matter, and none of them happen in

105
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,480
a silo. They all impact each other. And so again,

106
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,920
how we go about propping up an ally a treaty

107
00:04:54,959 --> 00:05:00,279
partner without necessarily encouraging someone else to get exceptionally mad

108
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:03,600
at us all these things. It's delicate, it's a delicate process.

109
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:07,279
But not backing down, not wilting. I should say it

110
00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:10,319
this way. The United States of America that I like

111
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:14,040
on an international stage is strong, It's tough. It's not

112
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,319
willing to barrel into any fight in any conflict just

113
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,160
for the sake of doing it. Our country does have

114
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,240
a capability of assessing a situation and deciding when our

115
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,439
involvement is necessary into what degree. But I don't like

116
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:30,439
when we just simply give in to placate others. And

117
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,519
this is something that happened a lot during the Biden administration.

118
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:36,600
There was a lot of tough words, but never tough

119
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:40,199
actions when it came to countries like China. And I

120
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,839
think that we need a different approach here. And I

121
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:45,160
hear that different approach and the things that Rubio says

122
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:48,120
and the ways in which we behave our Marco Rubio

123
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,319
also talked about Iran. So this was a pretty interesting

124
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,360
back and forth. During a moment with the press well

125
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,480
in the Philippines, I.

126
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: Saw, you know, guys, I saw a Rachi, their foreign minister,

127
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,920
who the other day say or something about their policies.

128
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:05,920
An eye for an eye. The president's policy is ahead

129
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,759
for an eye. I mean, honestly, that's what it's going

130
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,399
to be. I mean, they will pay a very heavy

131
00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:12,439
price for the things they're doing. They're already paying a

132
00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:14,279
very heavy price. You guys don't know because you don't

133
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,160
cover it. You're not in Iran, you're not in the street.

134
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,959
They don't have a free media. But they're going to

135
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,600
continue to pay a very heavy price. Their industrial base

136
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:23,600
has been decimated, their defense industrial base has been decimated.

137
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,240
They're losing launchers, they're losing radars every single night. They

138
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,000
are suffering billions of dollars in damage, and their economy

139
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:33,240
is a disaster. But despite all that, these people who

140
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,399
are calling us every day begging let's do a deal.

141
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,199
They send us messages through other countries, third countries. I mean,

142
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,959
they're running out of countries to send it. Even I

143
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:41,800
had countries here coming up to me. Oh, I just

144
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,439
spoke to the Iranians. They want to do a deal.

145
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,959
The problem is, every time these people do a deal,

146
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,000
they either break it or after they make it, they

147
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,560
want to change the deal. So they're probably not ready

148
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,240
to do a deal yet, but they will be soon

149
00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:54,720
because the price they're paying is very high. Despite their

150
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,199
tough talk and their flowery language and their stupid lego

151
00:06:57,399 --> 00:06:59,120
videos they put out. I've never seen them, but they

152
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,160
put these things out on social media. Despite all that bravado,

153
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,759
they are suffering tremendously and they're going to suffer more

154
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,879
until they come to their senses.

155
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: Look, here's the thing I don't know. I think you.

156
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,680
I think a lot of people listening to the show

157
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,439
would understand the human elements of any of this. Like

158
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,639
you talk to someone who's critical of the war with Iran,

159
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:19,399
and one of the criticisms is just the human component,

160
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:24,319
Like you don't want to cause devastation, cause horrible things

161
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:27,199
in other places in the world, but it's a necessity

162
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,279
in this scenario. We have to demonstrate to Iran that

163
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,759
we are the country I just mentioned we are a

164
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,759
second ago. We're not one that tucks, talks tough, excuse me,

165
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:40,959
and then wilts behind the scenes. We do the things

166
00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:43,560
that match the words that we use, and that is

167
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,959
rare for people in charge in this country to actually

168
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,920
behave this way, and it's important that the world realized that.

169
00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:53,360
Because here's the last thing I'll say about this, since

170
00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:56,360
Rubio kind of referenced China too, and I have more

171
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:59,240
Rubio audio to play later. He crapped on the ICC,

172
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,759
which I thought was hilarious, and I like to have

173
00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:03,879
Trump audio to play. He said a lot of things

174
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:06,839
that were funny, but China does whatever the hell it wants.

175
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,360
Like the funny thing whenever you have a conversation about

176
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:13,120
how the US behaves and the people that want us

177
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:16,759
to focus on ourselves and do nothing anywhere else, which

178
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:19,920
I want to, by the way, I want us to

179
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,480
just care about us, But there are so many bad

180
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:24,920
actors out there that want to harm us in all

181
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,000
different kinds of capacities, some in which like Iran, are

182
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,920
desperate to get a nuclear weapon to do mass harm

183
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,840
to us, that we can't just be focused on home.

184
00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:36,360
We should mostly be focused on home, but we can't

185
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,639
do that entirely. So then what's the best way to

186
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,440
behave on a world stage. It's to speak with a

187
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,600
certain level of strength that matches our capability, and then

188
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:49,200
when necessary, act accordingly so people know that we're not

189
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:52,360
just using words. And it's so rare to see our

190
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:56,000
country actually check box all three of those things and

191
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,519
behave that way in which we comprehend our strength, We

192
00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:03,000
demage straight our strength to the world via action and words,

193
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,399
and then if necessary, you know, we don't back down

194
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:08,960
and wilt because even our own country at times, even

195
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,399
our own media, begs us to behave differently, even though

196
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:16,840
it's detrimental to us in the long run. It's fascinating

197
00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:18,639
to actually watch this all play out and the way

198
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:21,480
it's going. I want gas prices to be cheaper, I'll

199
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:24,320
say that as a part of this you know opening

200
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,320
segment here on this topic. I know you do, most

201
00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:32,000
everyone does. However, there's a push pull to what we're

202
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,399
doing and how important it is. And the biggest problem

203
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,200
I know, I'm sort of a repeating you know thought

204
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:40,960
on this, but the biggest problem with when Biden ruined

205
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,360
our gas prices is he was fighting the oil and

206
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,159
gas industry here in the United States and trying to

207
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,080
force us all, not just ask us all, but force

208
00:09:49,159 --> 00:09:52,120
us all to buy electric vehicles that didn't work. That

209
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,919
was a bad plan, and gas prices were ridiculously high

210
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,879
for no reason. And now, even though I wish that

211
00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:01,080
gas prices were lower, the thing that we're fighting, or

212
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,000
the way that we're engaging in this battle, it seems

213
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,000
much more valuable to us and to the world in

214
00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:10,639
the long run than the last thing did. So even

215
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,720
though I wish it wasn't happening, and even though I

216
00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:14,840
wish it could end sooner, because iron comes to its

217
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,399
senses and understands what they're doing and what they shouldn't

218
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:21,000
be doing. And the potential for people like China would

219
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,440
be lifting them up because they'd like to see longer

220
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,799
and longer conflict involving the United States. All of those things.

221
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:29,440
I do want them all to go away, But I

222
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:33,679
know the value of this moment compared to before. All right,

223
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,679
we'll take a break. We'll talk about a lot of

224
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,679
stuff beyond this. Brandon Johnson embarrassed himself again publicly, and

225
00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:42,559
Hunter Biden is out there being both a moron and

226
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,600
a conspiracy theorist in ways that maybe you agree with,

227
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,840
maybe you don't. We'll test all that a little bit

228
00:10:47,919 --> 00:10:50,600
later on. This is Craig Collins filling in on the

229
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:51,240
data show.

230
00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:53,039
Speaker 3: We have a lot more on the way as we

231
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,000
move our partners that will bring you the program. It's

232
00:10:55,039 --> 00:10:57,360
the folks over at relief Factor. Relief Factor to get

233
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,200
relief from everyday aches and pains, one hundred percent drug

234
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,320
free way to do so. Relief Factor wants me to

235
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,279
tell you about this guy named Chris who's wrote to

236
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,639
them and said people's lives are actually changing. He said

237
00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:14,000
he's spent years doing physical work that left his feet

238
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,799
aching every day, and after starting relief Factor, he felt

239
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:20,200
so much better that he accomplished something he'd never done before.

240
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,720
He ran a half marathon. Now he recommends relief Factor

241
00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:27,879
to friends because he's experienced the difference firsthand. Every Day

242
00:11:27,879 --> 00:11:30,320
aches and inflammation chip away your freedom. It affects how

243
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,120
you move, you work, you live your life again. It's

244
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,720
a one hundred percent drug free, research based formula designed

245
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,360
to fight inflammation, the root cause of most pain and

246
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,120
most millions of people have found relief from relief Factor,

247
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:43,679
and right now they still have their patriotic pricing the

248
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,759
three week quick start for just seventeen seventy six. You

249
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,600
can visit Reliefactor dot com or call eight hundred four

250
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:52,440
Relief and speak with one of their US based team

251
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,759
and find out if relief factor can help get you

252
00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:56,639
back to doing what you love.

253
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,919
Speaker 1: And now all of the news you would probably make,

254
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:03,720
it's time for Dana's Quick five. That's right, it's time

255
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:06,159
for a quick five on the Dana Show. D Lash

256
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,360
Dana Lash Radio on x Great Ways to stay connected

257
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,519
to her. Congress is trying to pass a bipartisan bill

258
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,519
that would ban all phone calls on airplanes. Most US

259
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,080
carriers don't allow in flight calls anyway, but there's pressure

260
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,799
to change how the now Wi Fi planes exist and

261
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,960
how that kind of gets expanded. I love the fact

262
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,200
that it'd be like no loud calls or no real

263
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,399
calls at all. Some people might try to whisper real quick.

264
00:12:30,919 --> 00:12:33,639
There are also several foreign airlines that are cool with

265
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,759
Wi Fi calls, just for a comparison's sake, British Airways,

266
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:42,399
a Virgin Atlantic. I'm amused by this because part of

267
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:45,080
the thing I don't love government having its fingers all

268
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,039
over the place, I'll tell you that. But part of

269
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,840
the thing that I wish could happen is people just

270
00:12:48,879 --> 00:12:51,519
shame other people into not doing this. If you're around

271
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:54,240
somebody who's doing a loud phone call or somebody if

272
00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:57,759
you've ever been around this recently, it's like playing music

273
00:12:57,759 --> 00:13:00,200
real loud on some sort of device near you. Just

274
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,840
tell them to shut up, Just get that to stop,

275
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,200
because that would be better than having to have the

276
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,120
government create a bill and then make something legal or illegal.

277
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,960
But I find this funny because I like quiet airplanes.

278
00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:13,720
I'm a fan of that, So if we get that

279
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,639
done one way or another, I'm not actually going to

280
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,879
be mad about this at all. I just thought it

281
00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:20,639
was humorous that it was out there. Another story I

282
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,399
saw a gut health brand has gone viral for a

283
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,399
weird toilet shoe that they released. I don't know, I

284
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,159
don't know how to say this any differently. The people

285
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,200
are very excited about it. So essentially, when you go

286
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,360
into the bathroom, you'd throw on some bathroom slippers, and

287
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:41,039
then when you leave the bathroom, you'd leave the bathroom

288
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,480
slippers in the corner of the bathroom, and then just

289
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,679
those would be a thing. The brand is called let Loose.

290
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,480
I knew I was gonna laugh at that, even though

291
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,440
I knew it was coming, and I can't help myself

292
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:55,039
which is great, and they promote all kinds of other

293
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,440
stuff that I'm probably not going to completely talk about

294
00:13:57,519 --> 00:13:59,720
on the show, but one of those things is now

295
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:02,879
air of shoes for the bathroom that people seem to

296
00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:07,000
really like. They're ridiculously large. By the way, too, there's

297
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,519
a version of putting the shoes on that's basically the

298
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:12,039
same as a squatty potty, meaning that you have your

299
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,840
legs propped up real high. You can get regular flip flops,

300
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,320
so you can get the giant ones, but in either scenario,

301
00:14:17,919 --> 00:14:19,960
you're getting something that other people are going to look

302
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,639
at very confused if they use the bathroom at your house.

303
00:14:23,039 --> 00:14:25,879
That's the negative of this. I guess there's health positives,

304
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,279
but I don't know if they outweigh them. Actually, this

305
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,399
is kind of funny. There was a radio station that

306
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,639
I actually work at kind of remotely, and somebody told

307
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:37,000
me a story about someone else who worked there kind

308
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,960
of having a squatty body having the little thing that

309
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,759
props the legs up at work, and everybody thought it

310
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:44,720
was kind of funny and they would joke about it,

311
00:14:45,039 --> 00:14:47,600
and then I realized that it's sort of genius, Like,

312
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:51,000
pardon me if you get older, guys. I'm not saying

313
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,600
that I do or don't use any of these kind

314
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:56,399
of devices. Some of the assistants in those areas seems

315
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,320
much more beneficial than it did before. Not a topic

316
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,080
I thought i'd talk abo on the show. So I

317
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:04,240
get the value of the toilet shoes. I understand it.

318
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:06,679
I just know again that it'd be really weird to

319
00:15:06,679 --> 00:15:08,679
see if I was over somebody's house and look in

320
00:15:08,679 --> 00:15:11,879
the corner of the bathroom and there they are. All right. Now,

321
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,759
one other story that I really like that is incredibly stupid.

322
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,000
So I'm just going to tell you that going in,

323
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:22,399
most people would want a doctor as a companion if

324
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,399
a zombie apocalypse hit us. This was a recent pull

325
00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:28,559
that went out over the internet and people answered. A

326
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,120
lot of people would not want an MMA fighter That

327
00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:33,840
came in at number five out of the top six options.

328
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:39,399
Fifty one percent said doctor, nineteen percent said engineer, thirteen percent,

329
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,679
set an ex police officer eight percent to a ship

330
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,559
captain because I guess you're going to get on a

331
00:15:44,559 --> 00:15:46,960
boat at some point, and then rounding out the top

332
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,440
six was a pilot after the MMA fighter. I don't

333
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,279
think a doctor's going to help people as much as

334
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,279
other people think they are, because in the rules of

335
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,200
zombie apocalypse, the doctors can't save you. Man, I wants

336
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:02,480
something happen. Weapons. If the zombies get you, you're screwed.

337
00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:05,000
The doctor's not bringing you back. So I think I

338
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,879
would go MMA fighter or any version of some sort

339
00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:10,399
of combat veteran who's ready to fight this fight with me,

340
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:13,559
because they'll be more helpful with the part that matters,

341
00:16:13,879 --> 00:16:16,200
and that's fighting off the zombies and getting out of

342
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,679
whatever situation you're in without getting turned into one yourself.

343
00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:21,519
But I just love that this was a story that

344
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:24,759
was out there and something that went viral and something

345
00:16:24,799 --> 00:16:26,519
that a bunch of people took the time to answer,

346
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,000
because it shows us that the internet can still be

347
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,360
fun and still be stupid, and still have all the

348
00:16:31,399 --> 00:16:33,960
great stuff that we want as a part of it

349
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,840
while having all the terrible, awful stuff that becomes so

350
00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:39,080
much of what we talk about now in the world

351
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,559
of I don't know, just anything that you find go

352
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:44,759
viral on the Internet. This is a good one, but

353
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,960
everybody's wrong. Fifty one percent of people unsurprisingly wrong, saying

354
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,279
that doctor would be the best thing to have. All right,

355
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,120
we'll take a break. A lot coming up. Matt Walsh

356
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,080
went viral for hilarious reason. I like that too, That

357
00:16:57,159 --> 00:16:59,600
and more and a bit. Craig Collins filling in on

358
00:16:59,639 --> 00:16:59,879
the day.

359
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,919
Speaker 3: We have a lot more on the way as we move.

360
00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:03,919
Our partners that help bring you the program. It's our

361
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:04,640
friends over.

362
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,839
Speaker 1: A goost Beid.

363
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,319
Speaker 3: I love my Ghostbud. My bed is awesome. And I'm

364
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,720
not saying this because they're advertising on the show. They're

365
00:17:12,759 --> 00:17:14,640
never allowed to go out of business or I'll find

366
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,799
them and I'll make them work forcibly. So here's the thing.

367
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:20,039
We're just talking about hot and how Europe is just

368
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,599
dying most mattresses. And when I look back, because I

369
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,920
told you we got this boogie mattress a few years ago,

370
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,039
and one year into it, I hated it. It was like

371
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:33,440
the worst purchase ever. And we they literally was an

372
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:37,359
upgrade for cooling tech, which I was shocked at they had.

373
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,359
Like literally there was there was an that you had

374
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,240
an upgrade for that. That's not what Ghostbud does. Hot

375
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:46,000
sleepers are some of the happiest customers because cooling tech

376
00:17:46,079 --> 00:17:50,119
that they use is built into every single mattress. It's

377
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,799
not an expensive upgrade that you have to pay extra for.

378
00:17:53,319 --> 00:17:54,039
Speaker 1: And if you're.

379
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,519
Speaker 3: Waking up stiff, and you're tossing and turning, and you're

380
00:17:56,559 --> 00:17:59,160
sleeping hot, or you're reaching for pain relievers or whatever

381
00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:02,440
that's your you need to get the Ghostbud because Ghostbud

382
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,720
is made to purposefully alleviate these exact issues, support cooling,

383
00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:08,680
real comfort, so you can actually rist you don't have

384
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,400
to waste your summer on bad sleep. And the best part,

385
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,079
you get one hundred and one nights to try it

386
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,240
in your home, and if you don't feel the difference,

387
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,440
you can send it back risk free. Right now, ghost

00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show. My name is Creig Collins,

394
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,920
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of

395
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,599
stuff out there to talk about at d Lash Dana

396
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,039
Lash Radio on x I like to give out her

397
00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:44,200
X handle every single time on the show, every single

398
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,440
segment and then also at Radio creig Z. I give

399
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,039
that out occasionally, and it's not going to be as

400
00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:51,680
fun as following her on social media if you choose

401
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,079
to follow me, all right. Caroline Levitt, the Press Secretary,

402
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,240
of course, said that the President is running out of

403
00:18:57,279 --> 00:19:01,720
patients when it comes to Majority Leader John Thune and

404
00:19:01,799 --> 00:19:05,160
others because they're rhinos. No, it's just because they won't

405
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,000
pass the Save Act, although they're probably also rhinos. I

406
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,359
did like this bully pulpit away seems to be the

407
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,519
right approach. Will it actually work? Who knows? Will a

408
00:19:14,519 --> 00:19:16,720
lot of people have to be fired and then hopefully

409
00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:19,400
other people hired in the midterms, which might not go

410
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:23,920
well for conservatives, but I hope somehow surprisingly does because

411
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,720
I think the Save Act needs to be passed. Save

412
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:29,039
America Act. I think a lot of people agree with that,

413
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,920
and actually the President even advocated for getting rid of

414
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,480
the filibuster last night, well in Georgia, and I agree

415
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:37,519
with that too. And I know a lot of people

416
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:40,880
who don't immediately yell that Democrats are going to wield

417
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,920
the power of no filibuster in horrible ways, and that's true,

418
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:47,839
they are, but they're also going to remove the filibuster

419
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,519
in twenty twenty eight if they consolidate power, which could happen,

420
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,240
So why don't we just do it now and benefit

421
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,119
from it, especially if we wind up winning the presidency

422
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,119
again in a couple of years, which I think the

423
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,519
Republicans have very good chance of doing because the socialists

424
00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:04,839
and saying people are taking over the Democratic Party. Let's

425
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:06,960
get rid of the filibuster and let's find a way

426
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,640
to actually do great things when we have a simple

427
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,359
majority in the Senate in general. Just something that we're

428
00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:16,319
not doing at all right now, and it's not going well,

429
00:20:16,599 --> 00:20:19,599
and it's definitely it's a vet. It is inevitably going

430
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,880
to go away at each side when they want to

431
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,960
use a simple majority and can't because of it. Talk

432
00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:29,200
about this. Someone's eventually going to make this a thing,

433
00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:31,440
and we should be the ones that do that. All right,

434
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:32,759
Let's play Caroline Levitt first.

435
00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:36,759
Speaker 4: Though the President spoke about this directly yesterday. His patience

436
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:39,039
is running out. He wants to see as much of

437
00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:42,720
the Save America past as possible by the August recess.

438
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:45,519
He knows that's what the American people want to see.

439
00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: Foks.

440
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,599
Speaker 4: He was just traveling on the road yesterday spoke about this,

441
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,720
and there was a very loud applause from the people

442
00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:55,680
in the audience, the everyday Americans, because voter ID is

443
00:20:55,799 --> 00:20:59,559
common sense. They want proof of citizenship in our elections,

444
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:02,119
and the President feels very strongly about that. And I

445
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:07,200
would just add, you know, the American people elected overwhelmingly

446
00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:10,799
Republicans to lead not just this White House, but also

447
00:21:10,839 --> 00:21:13,000
the House and the Senate. The House did its job.

448
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,240
The Senate needs to do Yeah.

449
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,079
Speaker 1: The Senate needs to do a job too, which, by

450
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,240
the way, to me, mostly means get rid of the

451
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,240
freaking filibusters so you can do it easier without people

452
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,640
that are standing in the way and trying to fight

453
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,839
this thing and make it not happen. It's got it.

454
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,440
We gotta do it eventually. All that stuff has to happen,

455
00:21:28,519 --> 00:21:30,920
both things. And the funny thing is that about the

456
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,640
second one, or the main topic she's talking about there,

457
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,519
the Save Act. It is so universally desired by many

458
00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:40,599
many Americans because of the simplicity of talking about how

459
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:44,640
important it is to have, you know, simple voter ID

460
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,559
for our I love the comparison to Olive Garden. I

461
00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:49,640
talked about it yesterday I'll talk about it again today.

462
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,319
It is so funny that Olive Garden's possible is ID specific,

463
00:21:54,519 --> 00:21:57,640
and that right now our elections are not. That seems

464
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,319
wrong that. See, if you wanted to swing by Olive

465
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,960
Garden and get a never ending pasta on your pasta

466
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,119
pass after you vote, you only need IDA for one

467
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,000
of those two activities, and it's the wrong one that

468
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,279
you need ID for, although both it's probably fine. If

469
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,000
I want free pasta, you know I got to actually

470
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:16,400
pay for it and have the idea to get it.

471
00:22:16,759 --> 00:22:19,640
I'm fine with both having ID. All right, let's move

472
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,519
on to Steven A. Smith and Tucker Carlson. They went

473
00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:25,480
viral because they were together and talking about all kinds

474
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,480
of crazy stuff. Here's the biggest one, and it's not

475
00:22:28,599 --> 00:22:31,519
actually the thing that probably most people are talking about.

476
00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:34,559
I think with Tucker sitting down with Steven A. Smith

477
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,359
and doing his podcast, a lot of people are focusing

478
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,960
on how Tucker talked about Israel and the accusations he made.

479
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:44,319
It's not new. Tucker continues down this rabbit hole that

480
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,599
some follow him down, and a lot of us don't

481
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,480
follow him down those roads. But I think the more

482
00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:53,720
valuable thing was actually their discussion about President Trump, because Tucker,

483
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,839
according to stephen a Pretty publicly hated Trump for a while,

484
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,920
which is true depending on how many of the texts

485
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,720
that you read that came out during the dominion case

486
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,119
against Fox News and then supported him after all that

487
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,160
stuff did come out in twenty twenty four, and now

488
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,039
is pivoted back to hating him again. And it's that

489
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,160
kind of flip flopping that makes me wonder how anyone

490
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,440
could take anybody seriously on a like, if you're so

491
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,400
blatantly I'm on whatever side I want to be in

492
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,720
the moment on one topic, aren't you then obviously that

493
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:28,720
way with everything else you talk about, Like, doesn't the

494
00:23:28,759 --> 00:23:32,000
credibility actually go away? And I don't know if that

495
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,279
was intentionally the way that stephen A. Smith modeled the question,

496
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,559
but it's the takeaway I got from it, So I

497
00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:39,839
thought it was the most valuable part of this discussion.

498
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,440
So here we go, Tucker Callson.

499
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,799
Speaker 5: In twenty twenty one, you probably wrote that you hated

500
00:23:44,039 --> 00:23:47,119
Trump passionately. You later supported him in twenty twenty four.

501
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:49,720
So here's the question, why should listen to see this

502
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,960
latest break as principal rather than another pivot on your part,

503
00:23:55,519 --> 00:23:56,319
or how do you answer that?

504
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,319
Speaker 6: Well, I've had many many pivots, and I've already explain

505
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,640
two of them. You know, I yes, you have because

506
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,799
I'm wrong a lot, you know, I guess. I mean

507
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,519
I flatter myself and say I'm not wrong a lot,

508
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,200
but I certainly am wrong sometimes and wrong on big things.

509
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,720
I was wrong on Trump, and I was wrong on

510
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,839
the Iraq War, and I'm sure a million other things.

511
00:24:14,839 --> 00:24:17,680
But anyway, I mean, I don't know what to say.

512
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: You don't have anything to say. Part of the reason

513
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,880
that he's struggling with this back and forth the question

514
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,799
here is because he doesn't know what avenue he can

515
00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:30,319
go that restores his credibility other than saying he just

516
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,480
made a mistake, which is what anyone who lies tells

517
00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:35,640
you when they get caught in a lie, whatever side

518
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,039
of the lie it was in this case. And I

519
00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:40,720
think this is a good reflection. It's not just Tucker.

520
00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:43,079
There are a lot of people. Meghan Kelly easily falls

521
00:24:43,079 --> 00:24:46,279
into this category. And you can go watch the moment

522
00:24:46,319 --> 00:24:48,839
in the debate where she shows how she really feels

523
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,680
about Trump to then wind up being someone who throws

524
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,279
weight behind him and also supports him all those things,

525
00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:58,559
even Jade Vance. I think the most valuable part of

526
00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:02,000
this show and how Dana talks about Jadie Vance and

527
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,920
what he actually wants well in the role of vice

528
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,400
President is partly because of how obvious it is to

529
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,880
some of us that jd Vance didn't like Trump for

530
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,279
so long that there's a chance he don't like him now,

531
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,119
even if he carries himself in a decent way and

532
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,880
has a decent shot to me to be the heir

533
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,240
apparent to President Trump in a couple of years in

534
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,960
twenty twenty eight, these people who seem to just passionately

535
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,119
dislike the current president and talked about him in his

536
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,599
first term in ways either on television or you know,

537
00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:34,359
behind the scenes via text or something, in ways that

538
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,079
tell you that they like really think he's a giant

539
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,200
pile of you know what, and basically treat him the

540
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,240
same as left leaning media does. It's not really logical

541
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,920
to think that a lot of those people have transformed

542
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,480
their opinion completely. Occasionally you hear some people explain it,

543
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,200
and I think jad Vance has done the best job

544
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,960
of any of them by saying that media lied to him.

545
00:25:56,319 --> 00:25:58,519
Media tricked him, and then when he actually got to

546
00:25:58,519 --> 00:26:01,440
know the real president, he thought was different than the

547
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:05,079
narrative version that he had consumed without knowing him very well.

548
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,759
That's the best attempt at that discussion. But I do

549
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:10,599
think there's a lot of people that, for all kinds

550
00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:13,759
of reasons, have hated everything. And this is on the

551
00:26:13,799 --> 00:26:17,119
conservative side, not the liberal side. Hated everything about Trump.

552
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,680
His rise the first time in sixteen, the success enough

553
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,319
to win, the failure in twenty twenty, if you think

554
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,039
that that was legitimate and not a whole bunch of

555
00:26:25,079 --> 00:26:28,480
cheating which some people tried to use to cast him away,

556
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,599
and then the you know, phoenix rising, which is what

557
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,119
I think they described it in some places when they

558
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,960
were shocked that he won. I wasn't in twenty twenty four,

559
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:39,680
and being back in a position of power for people

560
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,440
that hate him, that's the truth of that whole thing.

561
00:26:42,599 --> 00:26:46,359
They desperately wanted someone that wasn't Trump in twenty twenty four,

562
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,759
and DeSantis was the obvious choice for a little while there,

563
00:26:50,079 --> 00:26:52,160
and then that went away. And so now that they

564
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,400
finally some of these individuals, the Tucker Carlson's the World

565
00:26:56,279 --> 00:26:59,680
think that Trump's time as a politician is likely coming

566
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,279
to an because he can't run for office again. It's

567
00:27:02,319 --> 00:27:04,880
now the pivot point to get away. And here's what's

568
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,200
really interesting to me about this topic. It is so

569
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,519
easy to do that if you're trying to court any

570
00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:17,640
amount of you know, fame, or people that have hated

571
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,599
you for a bit to like you again, simply by

572
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,279
going this road, like I get it in the world

573
00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:26,799
of the benefit to the podcasters for anyone that's stupid

574
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,960
enough to take them seriously and think that they've had

575
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,039
an actual epiphany moment that's changed their mind about what

576
00:27:33,079 --> 00:27:36,400
they thought before and what they think now. Because there

577
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,200
is a lot of hatred of President Trump, hatred on

578
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,599
the left. And if you hear someone and this is

579
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,480
my other big observation about this topic, if you hear

580
00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:49,480
someone that was a big supporter of Trump, go rogue

581
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,400
the Marjorie Taylor Greens of the world. They wind up

582
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,640
on the view. These people get invited to all these

583
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,079
left leaning places, and it doesn't mean the left actually

584
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,480
likes them. It doesn't mean they actually think they're great

585
00:27:59,519 --> 00:28:02,200
now and their opinions are good. They just want to

586
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,920
hear people that said that they like Trump. At some

587
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,480
point say that they hate them now they just want that.

588
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,039
They want that because they think that that's proof to

589
00:28:10,039 --> 00:28:13,319
everybody else. And the vast majority of Republicans who do

590
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,559
think that President Trump is doing a good job. CNN

591
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,559
had that polling, and I think we played it yesterday.

592
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,920
Yet again, eighty something percent of people who identify as

593
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,160
Republican voters are happy with the job Trump is done.

594
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,720
Even if they're not happy with the war prices of

595
00:28:28,759 --> 00:28:32,880
certain things, they're still buy and large supporters. People on

596
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,319
the left hate that. They hate that idea, and they've

597
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,000
been fighting that thing for so long that it's so

598
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:43,839
easy to get some level of kick support, some level

599
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,079
of I get a little bit of a runway here

600
00:28:46,119 --> 00:28:47,839
where you're going to listen to me, even though you

601
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,160
hated me last month, if I all of a sudden

602
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,039
crap on Trump too, and actually, I'll be even more

603
00:28:53,079 --> 00:28:55,720
honest about this. I've started to notice this in some

604
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,480
like other media places, like certain radio shows or radio

605
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,279
stations or other things where it was trendy for a

606
00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:05,799
while to be such a big fan of Trump that

607
00:29:05,839 --> 00:29:08,799
you said certain things, And now you hear more and

608
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,200
more people in these places saying some negative stuff about Trump,

609
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,680
and it really is just catering to you the art.

610
00:29:14,759 --> 00:29:17,240
This is a long rant on something that probably might

611
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:19,559
not be interesting to a lot of people out there.

612
00:29:19,559 --> 00:29:24,079
But what I really really admire about certain broadcasters in

613
00:29:24,119 --> 00:29:26,519
this field, and Dana is one of them. I know

614
00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:28,160
this is her show of not trying to kiss up

615
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,000
to her, but it's true is consistency is the willingness

616
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,240
to believe and say most of the same things regardless

617
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:38,920
of who's in power, and support people based on principles

618
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,680
rather than even behavior, Like to say that I like

619
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:44,279
this person for the things that they accomplish more so

620
00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:46,799
than the person they are like. I respect that. If

621
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:48,920
somebody says to me that they think Trump is kind

622
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,799
of a jerk or is whatever they think he is,

623
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,880
and they would not want to, like go to get

624
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,160
a beer with him, fine, But if you still think

625
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,160
that his policies are good based on judging them and

626
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,799
not him the individual, respect that stance much more than now.

627
00:30:01,839 --> 00:30:04,359
I hate him. I think he's terrible again, And that's

628
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,200
the way I felt years ago, but then I changed

629
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,160
for a bit because it is crazy. There's a long

630
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,920
rant on people like Tucker and the pivot that they're

631
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,440
doing for strictly, I think personal gain, trying to appeal

632
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,200
to more people on the internet who are younger, who

633
00:30:18,279 --> 00:30:21,240
might feel the same way, and he's hoping that some

634
00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:23,839
of them become part of his audience, even though you're

635
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,839
not actually going to get the thing you want. I

636
00:30:25,839 --> 00:30:27,519
get the last thing I'll say about this rant. I

637
00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:29,759
didn't expect to do this. I think some of the

638
00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:33,720
people on the left who become temporary fans because I

639
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,440
don't think they remain because a lot of the principles

640
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,359
of conservatives stay. Even if you pretend you hate Trump

641
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,799
now or you pretended you liked him before, whatever, it

642
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,680
might be, a lot of your principles, you still don't

643
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,359
want a lot of people who are illegal to live

644
00:30:46,359 --> 00:30:49,119
in this country. Like, there's still a lot of places

645
00:30:49,279 --> 00:30:51,559
where you're going to disagree with an audience that you

646
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,640
might try to build that's on the left. And maybe

647
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,000
Tucker not as much as others because he has been

648
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,920
saying some other crazier, woke things. What I think is

649
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,559
interesting is some of those individuals who are on the

650
00:31:01,599 --> 00:31:04,079
other side who come over for a bit, think they're

651
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:09,240
going to better understand conservatives by consuming these voices that

652
00:31:09,279 --> 00:31:12,440
to them now seem reasonable. What I mean by that

653
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:15,000
is the moment they crap on Trump, it seems to

654
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:18,000
give some of these individuals the idea that, oh, okay, now

655
00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:20,000
that he's going to agree with me a little, I

656
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,079
can go ahead and listen and see if I understand

657
00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:24,359
some of the other stuff he says. And so it's

658
00:31:24,359 --> 00:31:27,720
sort of like a gateway drug, I guess, to the

659
00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:30,160
real conservatives out there. And the thing I wanted to

660
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,119
say about this is, I don't think it actually gets

661
00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:35,079
you the thing you're looking for. I think if you

662
00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:38,759
want to challenge your brain and if you disagree passionately

663
00:31:39,119 --> 00:31:40,839
with a lot of the thoughts on the other side,

664
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,079
in my case, the people who are literal communists who

665
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:47,000
are now running for office in the Democratic Party, you

666
00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:49,000
have to actually dive into the belly of the beast.

667
00:31:49,079 --> 00:31:51,119
You got to listen to the craziest people, and then

668
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,960
if you're someone like Danny, you got to crap all

669
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,440
over them like a san piker, being an insane piece

670
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,720
of crap. You just got to do that part. You

671
00:31:57,799 --> 00:31:59,759

gun BYRNA. It's not a gun. They have other models,

676
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,000
but I don't care about a single one of the

677
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,880
other models because the only one that you need to

678
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,720
know right now is the CEO that stands for a

682
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:32,440
don't care. This is an option for the people who

683

or municipal restrictions.

Speaker 1: Whatever, take your pick.

686
00:32:41,079 --> 00:32:44,519
Speaker 3: You need to have a diverse range of defensive options.

687
00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:46,720
I mean, for crying out loud, you carry different calibers

688
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,359
and you carry blades. So when you are a bar

689
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:52,119
because of a geef evie, then you need to have

690
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,839

709
00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:55,400
used to check that out. It's so many things. I'll

710
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,119
follow the podcast. This first topic is really like Florida clowns,

711
00:33:59,599 --> 00:34:04,319
not just Florida Man. Apparently a fear circus that is

712
00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:07,960
currently touring Florida is going viral online because it's said

713
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,239
to combine a bunch of things that people are terrified of.

714
00:34:11,519 --> 00:34:14,119
One of those is Florida. Another of those is clowns,

715
00:34:14,119 --> 00:34:17,239
and then in general just horror stuff that people don't like.

716
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:23,000
But it's acrobatics, contortionists, chainsaws, and then quote sinister clowns

717
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,800
performing in some sort of crazy circus with very dark,

718
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,440
like red red lighting inside the tent. It seems hilarious

719
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,760
to me, but it's probably causing a lot of people

720
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,320
to go crazy. Children thirteen and younger are not allowed in.

721
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,000
You have to be at least thirteen years old, and

722
00:34:39,039 --> 00:34:41,440
if you're under eighteen, you need an adult to be like, ah,

723
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,440
that's fine for this kid to go with me to

724
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,760
the fear Circus. They're probably not going to sleep for

725
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,559
a while, but it'll be okay. And actually that idea

726
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:50,920
reminds me of the time that I went to one

727
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,360
of the Jackass movies. I went to, like, not the

728
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,079
most recent one I should have gone, I haven't seen

729
00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:57,079
that yet, but one of the ones before it. I

730
00:34:57,119 --> 00:34:59,360
went to, like a midnight showing and a guy walked

731
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,599
in with a baby, and I to myself thought, like,

732
00:35:01,639 --> 00:35:04,360
that kid's going to grow up interesting if he's not

733
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,079
gonna remember the Jackass movie as a baby. And this

734
00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:09,400
didn't happen in Florida. But it feels like it would have.

735
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,199
But when he grows up, whatever else he's been exposed

736
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,440
to is going to make him an interesting person. That

737
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,000
was a while ago. So I bet you he is.

738
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,199
Maybe he's one of the clowns in the Florida clown

739
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,440
circus that is terrifying people. That is going viral other

740
00:35:23,519 --> 00:35:27,039
Florida men stories. A guy is suing Open AI and

741
00:35:27,159 --> 00:35:31,159
chat GPT because he says it convinced him not to

742
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,679
go to the emergency room when he needed to go

743
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,960
to the emergency room. A Florida man, of course, said

744
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,440
that he put all of his symptoms into the AI.

745
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,280
The AI was like, eh, you're good, and so he

746
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,599
thought that that was enough, and then he actually wound

747
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:51,320
up having a medical emergency, a pulmonary embolism. He's alive,

748
00:35:51,599 --> 00:35:53,760
of course, he survived, but he did eventually go to

749
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,920
the emergency room. And he's saying it's chat GPT's fault.

750
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,480
I really hope he doesn't win this case. I'm assuming

751
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,039
he won't win this case. But the lesson learned here,

752
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,320
or at least should be learned here, is that AI

753
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,559
is not in fact a doctor, and that if you

754
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:10,760
go to AI and you tell it it's symptoms and

755
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,599
it tells you you're fine. You didn't do anything that's

756
00:36:13,639 --> 00:36:17,360
actually valuable to you. If you're worried enough, you should

757
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,199
trust your gut, not the internet and the computer, and

758
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,239
show up at the medical professional place where they can

759
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,800
run some actual tests on you and maybe save your

760
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,360
life without it becoming a medical emergency. That's something you

761
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,400
can just do. And then if you've got to pay

762
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,960
a bill you don't want to pay, well, darn it.

763
00:36:33,159 --> 00:36:35,320
This was the decision you made. A lot of us

764
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,519
do this. We turned to WebMD and chat, GPT and

765
00:36:38,559 --> 00:36:41,000
everything else. But what's funny is it seems like it

766
00:36:41,039 --> 00:36:43,760
doesn't matter what they tell us. We're probably gonna make

767
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,480
our own decision anyway. Because I've gone to chat, GPT

768
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,079
or WebMD specifically actually and been told like I'm about

769
00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:53,000
to die and I didn't do anything about that. I

770
00:36:53,039 --> 00:36:55,320
was like, all right, well, we'll see if that happens,

771
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,400
and then it doesn't. So it seems like you're darned

772
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,519
if you do, darned if you don't in the world

773
00:36:59,519 --> 00:37:02,239
of the internet, because we don't trust either extreme and

774
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,079
we shouldn't. Again. I really hope this guy loses and

775
00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:06,760
then finally one last one. I think we're gonna have

776
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,039
enough time to do it. An alligator was blocking a

777
00:37:09,079 --> 00:37:13,480
family by boarding up at their front door. This happened

778
00:37:13,519 --> 00:37:15,440
in Palm Bay, Florida. I have a little bit of

779
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:16,159
audio this one.

780
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 7: The shop factor is jaw dropping and unexpected for sure.

781
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,480
And if we didn't get that security alert to our

782
00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:24,960
cell phones, who knows what would happened. I've been terrified.

783
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,400
I've been looking over my shoulders, hair and swivel, just

784
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,880
making sure I don't get attacked. The dog doesn't get attacked,

785
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,159
because that's my baby waiting, just chilling dead. Still didn't

786
00:37:33,199 --> 00:37:35,960
make a peep until the flashlights. It was exactly seven

787
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,280
foot six inches. That's the first time it actually was

788
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,119
that comfortable to get that close to presidents and pets.

789
00:37:41,199 --> 00:37:44,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's scary. They saw it on their ring doorbell

790
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,960
camera that there was a giant alligator just hanging out

791
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,880
outside their house, and they decided that they had to

792
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,960
wait it out, and eventually the flashlights made it go away.

793
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,559
But that's a uniquely Florida thing, and they did not

794
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:57,760
need WebMD for any help or chat. GPT good on them.

795
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,159
Quick break a lot more. Creig Collin's filling in the

796
00:38:00,199 --> 00:38:03,920
Dana Show. This is the Dana Show. My name is

797
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,599
Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with you. The

798
00:38:06,639 --> 00:38:09,960
Mega Millions is getting closer to a billion dollars again.

799
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:12,519
I think it's like almost seven hundred and fifty million

800
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,320
at this point. The next drawing is tomorrow, and people

801
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,039
are very excited that you have a terrible, terrible chance,

802
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,800
like I should say it so many more times, a

803
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,480
horrible awful chance how to win this thing? Does that

804
00:38:26,519 --> 00:38:28,480
mean that I, like every other sucker, will get in

805
00:38:28,519 --> 00:38:30,599
once it gets to a billion? Of course I will,

806
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,519
because I don't care what the odds are. When you

807
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:34,880
tell me I got a shot at a billion dollars,

808
00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:38,119
I want to actually take my chance. And they know that,

809
00:38:38,199 --> 00:38:40,039
and they made the odds even worse. It's all a thing,

810
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,079
but I love whenever this starts to be like a

811
00:38:42,159 --> 00:38:45,239
viral news story. So shows like this and me, we

812
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,000
can talk about this thing and ask like the dumb question,

813
00:38:48,039 --> 00:38:50,480
what would you do if you want a billion dollars?

814
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,800
Which is probably a lot of stupid stuff, and then

815
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,519
hopefully some saving. Hopefully there's some saving, although I don't

816
00:38:55,519 --> 00:38:57,239
know how much you even have to save. If you

817
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,400
get that much money, I think you could go pretty

818
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,199
dumb and still be fine for the rest of your life.

819
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,199
But yeah, the Mega millions is rapidly getting back up

820
00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:07,920
to that number, that sweet spot where a whole lot

821
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,119
of us buy a ticket where I'm driving home from

822
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:11,840
work and my wife will call me and be like,

823
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,480
did you get the mega millions? Like that only happens

824
00:39:14,559 --> 00:39:17,480
at a billion dollars? People. Another story out there that

825
00:39:17,559 --> 00:39:20,039
I saw. I saw this the other day and I

826
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:22,400
even asked a couple people if like they actually knew

827
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,639
who this person was, because I don't know how big

828
00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:27,400
of a story it is. But now like NBC is

829
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,960
reporting on it, and I think it's because Jason Alexander

830
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:34,119
is involved. Of course, famous for being in Seinfeld. But

831
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,599
a woman that some might remember from years ago for

832
00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:40,599
being like a viral people talked about her kind of

833
00:39:40,639 --> 00:39:44,480
name in the news was Courtney Stotten. She married an

834
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,280
actor from Lost. I think the guy's name is Doug

835
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,760
Hutchinson when she was sixteen and he was like fifty one.

836
00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:53,159
As a creepy story for a lot of reasons. Then

837
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,400
to be fair, and I don't know if this is

838
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,519
mean to say, because at the time she was a child,

839
00:39:58,599 --> 00:40:01,159
which she's pointing out now. She seemed to very much

840
00:40:01,199 --> 00:40:04,400
court attention, as anybody would, but she was a minor,

841
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,679
she was underage, so a lot of I think what

842
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,960
happened in the world of media was inappropriate. But Courtney

843
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,280
Stotting called out Jason Alexander for a comedy sketch from

844
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,440
Funny or Die, the website that Will Ferrell started. This

845
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,239
is all convoluted because when she was seventeen there was

846
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,599
an episode or a sketch that went up where he

847
00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:26,760
made jokes and like grazed her boob with his phone.

848
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,159
I think the joke was that reception improved when he

849
00:40:30,199 --> 00:40:34,000
put his phone near her breast, and reception got worse

850
00:40:34,039 --> 00:40:36,280
when he put his phone near her head. And she

851
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,199
said that this was inappropriate because she was a child,

852
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,920
and she's right about that. I'm not going to say

853
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,360
she isn't the thing that's odd now though to me,

854
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,840
And if you google the name, which I'm not necessarily

855
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,119
recommending you do, of Courtney Stodden, there seemed to be

856
00:40:49,199 --> 00:40:52,000
a lot of attempts in the last however many years

857
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,800
to remain like viral and relevant in the news, and

858
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,400
this version of discussion well valid in a way, And

859
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,440
I think Alexander even apologized for the bit that he did,

860
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,199
although it must be weird being pitched a segment where

861
00:41:06,199 --> 00:41:08,440
you're working with someone who's married to a fifty year

862
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,000
old guy who's only seventeen, mean he's getting the paycheck.

863
00:41:12,039 --> 00:41:15,000
But anyway, he said he's sorry for the thing that happened.

864
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:17,280
But it seems like some aspect of this might not

865
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,280
necessarily be to do what he's saying protect kids from

866
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,440
being exploited through media. In other ways, it might be

867
00:41:23,519 --> 00:41:26,719
to remain an attention seeking human. So I don't know,

868
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,039
it's a weird thing to be as viral as it

869
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:30,960
is and keep popping up in more and more places.

870
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,400
I'm not saying that I disagree with the comment that

871
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,199
a seventeen year old should be treated like a child

872
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,440
and not like an adult, But I just don't know

873
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,039
if the attempt to get this information out there and

874
00:41:42,079 --> 00:41:44,039
the story out there is genuine. All Right, we got

875
00:41:44,079 --> 00:41:46,360
to take a break. A lot coming up, Craig Collins

882
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,920
on social media. For some reason, thirty nine year old

883
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,639
man in New Jersey was arrested after he stole five

884
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,000
hundred thousand dollars a five hundred thousand dollars armored car

885
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,719
from police, which is a very dumb thing to steal.

886
00:42:15,079 --> 00:42:17,760
Although probably I'm not trying to concourage people to do

887
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,679
this stuff. A crime is bad, don't do it. Probably

888
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,559
a little bit fun of a joy ride vehicle compared

889
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:25,559
to some other ones. Like when I see the people

890
00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:28,199
who try to run away for the police and they're

891
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,960
driving like a tractor, I feel uniquely bad because that's

892
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,119
not going to be an enjoyable experience and you're also

893
00:42:33,119 --> 00:42:36,119
getting arrested. If I ever were a joy ride away

894
00:42:36,119 --> 00:42:39,239
from the police, I'd like for the vehicle itself to

895
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,440
actually be something enjoyable to drive. That's my one rule.

896
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,880
And then also I'm not actually going to do that.

897
00:42:45,519 --> 00:42:48,320
But it's funny the types of things that people normally

898
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:53,039
steal hyundaies kias I think are pretty popular. This guy

899
00:42:53,119 --> 00:42:56,079
was like, give me the armored truck five hundred thousand dollars.

900
00:42:56,119 --> 00:42:59,400
Jase was a bear cat. I guess is the name

901
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,440
of it for anyone that actually knows this stuff. Eventually

902
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,599
he got caught, though he now faces multiple charges, including

903
00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:09,440
deep burglary. He caused more than thirteen thousand dollars of

904
00:43:09,519 --> 00:43:12,400
damage to a police parking structure as he was first

905
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,719
leaving the area. He's also responsible for some stuff he

906
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,880
stole out of the armored vehicle. So the guy's a

907
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,960
class act. He's not from Florida or this would be

908
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,320
a Florida man story even though it happened in Jersey

909
00:43:24,599 --> 00:43:26,519
and I would be doing it later on in the show.

910
00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:30,599
But you know, again, don't do crimes. Crimes are bad.

911
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,639
If you were to steal something, I feel like this

912
00:43:32,679 --> 00:43:35,239
would be more fun than something else. I saw that,

913
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,719
like the comic con stuff is going on again. I

914
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,079
think that's either in California or somewhere else right now.

915
00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:43,360
I saw this as I was like bouncing around for

916
00:43:43,559 --> 00:43:46,719
not news stuff to talk about here, and one of

917
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,119
the stories is about spaceballs too. The follow up to

918
00:43:50,159 --> 00:43:53,800
the classic movie from the late nineteen eighties. It's called

919
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,639
Spaceball's the new one. Here's the thing about mel Brooks movies,

920
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,079
and this isn't the one I wish they'd remake. I

921
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:02,920
wish they'd remake Blazing Saddles. But there's a lot of

922
00:44:03,039 --> 00:44:06,480
jokes that are not appropriate for twenty twenty six, especially

923
00:44:06,559 --> 00:44:09,599
in Blazing Saddles, that I wonder how they'll handle now

924
00:44:10,159 --> 00:44:12,440
for anyone that's excited about this movie coming out I

925
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,880
think on Amazon next year and probably in movie theaters.

926
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,119
It returns most of the original cast. They do the

927
00:44:19,159 --> 00:44:22,639
time jump, so it's thirty years later when they're going

928
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,440
to set whatever is going to happen in this movie,

929
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:25,679
and I think they're still going to make fun of

930
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,000
mostly the newer Star Wars films, but also a bunch

931
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,760
of other stuff. But mel Brooks didn't even write it.

932
00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:34,440
I think that actually other people wrote it, and there

933
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,639
were other scripts that they might have used at some point,

934
00:44:36,679 --> 00:44:39,119
but I didn't wind to be in a thing. But

935
00:44:39,159 --> 00:44:42,159
it's interesting to see a story like that, very macro

936
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,719
way to talk about it, and whether or not they'll

937
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,119
actually at all be true to some of the humor

938
00:44:47,159 --> 00:44:49,440
that used to be okay in the eighties, that's not

939
00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:53,199
okay to a lot of Hollywood in twenty twenty six.

940
00:44:53,559 --> 00:44:56,679
Because I would be thrilled to go to a movie

941
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,440
that felt anything like the types of things that were

942
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,679
funny back then and are not allowed to be funny anymore.

943
00:45:03,079 --> 00:45:05,320
I would be I'd probably buy a ticket multiple times.

944
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:06,920
I don't again, I don't know if Spaceballs is the

945
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,639
right one for that. Blazing Saddles would be even more

946
00:45:09,679 --> 00:45:12,360
fun for a variety of reasons anyone who knows that

947
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,719
movie can probably figure out, and just to watch people

948
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,760
react that would hate it, even though they'd probably also

949
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,840
be laughing like the funniest thing humor like that, as

950
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,480
the people who tell you they hate it the most

951
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,079
probably couldn't actually disguise laughing at it if it was

952
00:45:28,119 --> 00:45:31,000
just genuinely a good joke, like they try. They'd yell

953
00:45:31,039 --> 00:45:33,360
at you, but they try to hide some level of

954
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,440
the humor that they're feeling because it is genuinely funny.

955
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,320
And I think I've even seen Jerry Seinfeldt go viral

956
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,480
a few times. We're talking about young people in his

957
00:45:41,559 --> 00:45:44,239
latest stand up and how hard it is for young

958
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,599
comedians to break into the industry because apparently they don't

959
00:45:47,639 --> 00:45:50,480
like jokes. Most of the things they make fun of

960
00:45:50,519 --> 00:45:53,239
when you're trying to be sensitive to everybody's opinion, winds

961
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,280
up being not funny at all, as we've learned again

962
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,039
and again. All Right, quick break, A lot more thrilled
