Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you at d LASH
Dana Lash Radio on x great ways to stay connected
to her at radio craigc if you want to follow me.
The President of the United States will be traveling to
attend the dignified transfer of fallen troops that will happen
at Dover Air Force Base. He was asked questions standing
outside Air Force one before traveling, and he gave the
answers you'd expect a world leader to give the President
of the United States to give when asked something about
the emotional difficulty of a day like today, join at Dover.
Speaker 2: Some of you are going with us to honor our heroes.
And they are indeed great heroes, actually they said, and
they all of them said, very strongly, we can't let you.
Speaker 3: Cannot let Aran.
Speaker 4: Have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 2: They won't have a nuclear weapons. So we're going to
honor them. And one of the hardest things to do
for me, it's one of the hardest things to do
as a president, but it has to be done.
Speaker 1: It does have to be done, and it can't possibly
be easy. I believe him when he says, it's one
of the hardest things to do as a president for anyone.
I'm not acting as though I think that that's unique
to President Trump, although you immediately think of the times
when it seems that other presidents of this country have
not cared well, they've been a part of this, and
Biden certainly comes to mind, and some of the ways
that he seemed to behave And also, I will say this,
this isn't intent to transition from talking about what the
president will do that. You know, a lot of people
who probably listen to the show, including myself, supported and
what the person that I didn't support did when he
was in office. But I do think about that story
of the military individual who was injured but survived the
attack in Afghanistan. Is the exit the horrible exit was
happening there, and the story he told to media about how,
you know, unprofessdal Rude just a sort of like you know,
a heart that's his cold as ice behavior from President
Biden in the hospital room. Well, this person is recovering.
I don't know how many people remember that. I'd pull
the audio, but I don't want to pivot too much
to that. But that was one of the darker things
I'd ever heard from anyone that was a member of
the military talking about in experience with a president of
this country. When Biden walked in and said, what do
you want, essentially asking the officer, the person who was
injured in the line of duty, to ask for something
because of the injury and then go away, not talk
to media so that it doesn't embowrass Biden. That's horrific.
And the president, the current president Trump, not taking that road,
not thinking about himself, which he shouldn't. I'm not even
saying that this is essentially praise. It's just crazy that
you can compare it to someone who did something different.
Speaker 3: But here's a little bit more from the president.
Speaker 2: All I'm going to say is we love you. We
love you your child, and that's what they are to them,
their children.
Speaker 3: There's no games, no nothing, that's their child.
Speaker 2: And all you can do is throw out your heart.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. All you
can do is throughout your heart.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure parents that show up there in any
of these types of situations some of them are bad.
Speaker 3: I'm sure they are.
Speaker 1: I can't fathom why you wouldn't be at least a
little upset, and you'd be so proud of your child
for the sacrifice they made for this country, for the
willingness to do it. But I imagine there's some level of
anger toward the person who sent them into the fight,
and the president will be standing there next to them
trying to comfort them, and I assume accepting that role
of being the commander in chief and asking something that
we can't actually fathom at all for us who don't
serve this country in that capacity, what that truly means, like,
what that truly is. So it's profoundly important. I think
that when you have this discussion and when you hear
what the president does today, that he goes there. He
takes responsibility for his decision to send people into combat.
He said that he will never allow Iran to have
a nuclear weapon, and that he understands as much as
you can, because you can't truly but at least to
some extent, the pain that people are going through.
Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting to see.
Speaker 1: Exactly what unfolds today and what the inevitable reaction from
families is if they choose to talk to the media
about their interactions with the president. I would say that
I always say this, and I'll just put it out
there again before I move on. I'm not going to
tell anyone that's grieving how to handle grief, because that
would probably be wrong. But I do hate when I
see people being used by media so quickly after something
horrific has happened to them or their family. And you
see it so often that some person in news media
sticks a camera and a microphone in somebody's face that
doesn't need it there yet, and the individual might be
motivated by thinking they're doing something good in that moment,
but I'm guessing a decent amount of people regret so
quickly being in front of cameras when truthfully you probably
need a decent amount of time with your family away
from any sort of spotlight before coming forward to speak.
So I do often hate that, But I'm also I
should say this, I should be completely fair. I am
sometimes amazed at the capability of some people that are
put into that position to be so eloquent, to be
so well thought out, like occasionally you are stunned with
the way that someone handles that scenario while they're going
through something so awful. So I certainly will say that
it's not always something that when you witness a person
talk to media that I always feel that this is terrible.
Occasionally I'm stunned. Like I said, we're going to move on.
Speaker 3: I do really like this.
Speaker 1: I think that this is one of the dumbest things
that Jake Tapper has ever said on television. And I
have to be honest, He's said a lot of really
stupid stuff on television. But the way in which he
stated that he was surprised that people who are here illegally,
if they get accidentally I use the air quotes, you
can't see a registered to vote, that they'd actually go
ahead and show up and punch a ticket in a
ballot of any kind. I know why they do that.
Apparently Jake Tapper does not. Here's a little bit of
what he said on CNS.
Speaker 5: You're in the country illegally and you get a letter
saying that you can vote, and you know you're not
supposed to Not only you're not supposed to vote, you're
not supposed to be there.
Speaker 6: Why do you vote? Like I think you get register
for a party.
Speaker 1: And I love the way CNN is handling this because
of how ridiculous it is, because this is one of
the biggest moves that the left makes. They try to
pretend whatever the topic is is ridiculous. You know, they
say that people who are here illegally.
Speaker 3: Do not vote. That's usually the thing that you and
I hear, like.
Speaker 1: They don't vote. They why would they do that? And
then once New Jersey says they have a whole bunch
of people who are here illegally who got accidentally air
quotes again registered and decided to vote, they say, wow,
this is rare. It never happens. They just inch those
goalposts that direction that we all know it's going. But
here's the reason that people who are here illegally vote.
I'm going to help them out. I'm surprised if this
hard and that they don't understand it. It's because they
want the people in power who claim that they won't
be illegal anymore.
Speaker 3: The people who are saying that.
Speaker 1: You get to stay, you get all the free stuff,
you get whatever you want, please enjoy taxpayer dollars and
live in a hotel in downtown Chicago. If those individuals
remain in power, or more of those people win more elections,
guess who it benefits.
Speaker 3: The people who are here illegally, who.
Speaker 1: Are trying to vote for them, and that's why Democrats
are trying to allow them to vote like this is
this is the dumbest thing to talk about in all honesty,
because of course they would try to get the side
of the aisle that advocates for them. That's the same
game plan, I'll say this, that Democrats have in any scenario.
Democrats tell all of the LGBTQ plus alphabet community that
they're the only ones that will help them, and so
regardless of positions on any topic, these are the good guys,
those are the bad guys. You gotta vote for us.
And then, just like any other group minority voters who
overwhelmingly seem to vote a democratic, inevitably all of these
groups say, you know what, they didn't really do much
for me. They didn't really care about me. They just
said that they would, and then they didn't help at all.
The only war that it seems the Left wants to
have in the world of some of these topics is
letting men play in women's sports, which is odd to
say the very least. And actually, I really love, you know,
I'll move on to that. I really love something else
that's out there. Sophie Cunningham, the Indianapolis Fever player, who
is the Indiana Fever player who is certainly making a
name for herself beyond basketball, whether that's being a ring
girl at the UFC, the pointing thing that was a
meme all over the place. She's not a a huge
player in the world of basketball, but again, there aren't
a lot of terribly famous humans right now that play
in the WNBA.
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark is one of them.
Speaker 1: I couldn't name a team for you, like a set
of five people that are all actual current players.
Speaker 3: I'm sure some people out there could. I can't do it.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Sophie Cunningham recently came out and said we
shouldn't have dudes playing in women's sports, and I feel
good about that. And then there's a crazy additional piece
of audio. I think it's from Megan Rapino, the soccer
player who's certainly said a whole lot of things that
make me scratch my head, that says how this is
an attack on women, even though I think letting dudes
play female sports would actually be the attack on women.
But here's a little bit of how Fox News talked
about Sophie Cunningham and then I will play a little
bit of audio Repino before we take a break about it.
Speaker 7: So what happened is she retweeted a CBS sports host
tweeted out female collegiate athletes deserve so much better than us,
And so that was in twenty twenty two years ago.
She just retweeted it, and then people are putting words
in her mouth saying, you know, this is how you feel,
and she's setting the record straight. In this ESPN interview,
she said, I got a lot of negative feedback about
me hating trans and I'm like, I never once said that.
I think that I am here to extend love, but
I also think with that love is truth, being honest,
and I want to protect young girls in a locker
room or young girls in sports who shouldn't have to
go against biological men.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or be in a locker room with a biological guy.
That would be the kind of thing that anyone would
want to protect a young woman from, including of course
their parents. So it's just sort of insane that any
version of you know, reality exists, the world we live
and exists, and the obvious competitive advantage of this type
of situation exists. And let's just say that out loud
turns into some people to be horrible, terrible hate. And
here's Megan Rapeedo doing the exact same thing in the
world of this is somehow an attack on women in
society because she's advocating for letting dudes play female sports.
Speaker 8: Let's just like pull back a little. At first, it
was like, well, nobody likes women's sports and nobody wants
to watch it, or there was you know, abuse happening
and nobody seemed to care. Now, all of a sudden,
we're going to use a vulnerable group of people in
the trans community to be like, oh, well, we're just
protecting women's sports and we care so much about it.
When the Heritage Foundation is now going to go after
Title nine, So is it about reproductive rights or is
it about just women's rights in general. We're seeing the
rollback of Rowie Wade marriage equality. I feel like is
getting put back on the team.
Speaker 3: H I'm already done.
Speaker 1: I'm already there so many things happening there, and I'm
already so so done with it. I'll say this about
the beginning part of the statement where she claims that
one a lot of people don't watch female sports. I
don't want to be a jerk, but I do want
to be an arbiter of reality. And if you look
at the ratings before Kaitlyn Clark, the WNBA was not
doing great. They're doing far better now and the salaries
are much higher now, and all of that is because
of Kitlyn Clark. And yet it's the Sims. The WNBA
hates her for some reason. But then the other thing,
abuse of women in sports, the gymnastic controversies that came out.
I thought people did care about that. It was horrible,
and I thought people did care, and then finally claiming
that now there's an attack on a vulnerable community. It
has nothing to do with attacking people in a vulnerable community.
It has everything to do with protecting the competitive capability
for biologically female people to participate in sports without losing
to people they cannot defeat because of again DNA and biology.
Speaker 3: I don't understand how people don't get this. I feel like.
Speaker 1: Anyone that has a daughter immediately gets this, and everybody
else pretends they don't. I quick break a lot coming up.
Craig Collins filling in on the data show.
Speaker 9: For our partners that bring you the program. It's the
folks that are over at burna gunn I've told you
a million times before. I will absolutely throw lead down range.
Speaker 6: Are trained for it.
Speaker 9: I'm just always prepared, and I'll sleep like a baby
at night because I am completely aokay with protecting myself
and my loved ones using super lethal force. I want
even bat an eye now. I also understand too, that
there are times that people have to go to places
where your Second Amendment rights are restricted, making you just
an open target for everybody. They none of these places
ever provide adequate security to make up for what you
could provide for yourself, so you need a diverse option.
This is not a replacement. It's not a replacement. It's
not an addition to carrying. This is something that you
use when carrying isn't possible. Now they have different models
over a burning gun. I don't care about those. I
care about the Seal the compact launcher because it's roughly
the size of an iPhone, meaning it's highly concealable, but
there's no recoil and it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that
can deter threats from up to sixty feet away. This
is an option when your options are limited. Now you
could say, well, what about our taser or stone gum
that's great in Dandy one or two rounds there? Okay,
this one is a fifteen round shock capacity per cartridge,
requires no permits, no background checks, and it doesn't care
about gun free zone signs or gun forree zones period
because it's not a gun. Again, diversify your self defense
options today. Have an option for when your others are limited.

Speaker 6: Ready when you are This.
Speaker 1: Is the Dana Schelle. My name is Craig Collins. Filling
in her chapter and verse Substack is also awesome. I
know they just promoted the podcast as we came in here,
which is great, but she also does a great job
in substack. Follow a lot of stuff that Dana's doing,
and all of our social media I would see and
producer Steven and a bunch of other people make so
much better than my social media and a lot of
our social media out there at radio CRAIGZ. If you
want to see what it's like to not have a
producer Steven. All right, let's do this. Benjamin Net Yahoo
seems like he will be completely immune to any sort
of arrest from Zoron Mumdami, because he was always going
to be immune to it. But the only person in
the room who took a long time to actually admit
this that, in fact, if Benjamin Netanya, who the Prime
Minister of Israel, goes to New York, New York, cannot
arrest him was Zoraon Mumdani, the Mayor of New York.
Seemed to refuse this basic, logical, simple to understand thing
for quite some time before finally, I think last night,
admitting in a long video in which a whole lot
of it is about how terrible and awful Israel and
Netanya who.
Speaker 3: Is or are?
Speaker 1: But here we go, I'll just play the part where
he finally admits he can't actually arrest someone. Mumdani at
least finally has come to the light. Actually hold on,
let's make sure that you can hear that audio first,
and here with you.
Speaker 10: With the ICC, the Benjamin Netanya, who should be arrested
and tried for his crimes, as I do for anyone
else charged by the ICC. My administration has reviewed every
avenue available under applicable law to determine whether New York
City could execute the International Criminal Courts arrest weren't if
Benjamin Netanya, who came here, it is clear that we
do not have the independent legal authority to enforce the WORM.
The federal government, however, does, and I call on them
to join the.
Speaker 3: Ic CU execute this worn.
Speaker 10: And I want to be equally clear Benjamin Netanya, who
is not welcome in New York City, nor is any
other war criminal at large.
Speaker 1: He's going to go there, He's going to be in
New York City, and then he's going to leave New
York City and you're not going to.
Speaker 3: Be able to arrest him at all.
Speaker 1: We had a guest on in the last hour of
the show, Ben Strusand, who mentioned that he kind of
wanted to see the interaction because it probably would have
been politically very valuable for net Yahoo, even back home
in Israel, if the US tried to arrest him, and
if more people within the United States Secret Service among them,
prevented New York from doing so. And I actually agree
with Ben on that that the political spectacle of this
would have been actually probably surreal to witness, and who
knows it might have benefited a net Yahoo back at
home as an election is coming up in Israel. But nonetheless,
and this is I think the biggest takeaway which many
many people understand, it is never going to happen. Mamdannie
should have known immediately that he had no authority, and
you thought he did know. But the longer it took
for him to admit it, the longer the game of
pretending that he might arrest the leader of Israel played out,
the more you wondered if this was a genuine thing
that he actually thought he might be capable of doing.
And it's crazy if that's true, Like it's all crazy.
There's no version of discussing this topic where it's not
legitimately insane.
Speaker 3: And I don't care what you actually think of.
Speaker 1: Israel and Benjamin Netnyaho, whether you do think he's a horrible,
terrible person and a war criminal or not, if you
think Israel's defending itself, because that's not actually the substance
of the discussion here, even though that's what Mam Damie
wants you to be talking about. The substance of the
conversation is whether or not it would have been legal
for New York to arrest someone based on international law,
and the answer was very simplistically, no, the United States
doesn't even follow international law, so we wouldn't arrest one
on those grounds. We would arrest them on something that
happened against us here, which we see all the time.
We would care much more about that than whatever the
international community is telling us to care about. That's what
makes us great as a country. That is what makes
America so important. And I just I wonder, and I
said this I think the other day on the show,
and I'll say it again, I wonder how much this
type of rhetoric goes, how much it impacts people to
a degree that they could eventually be radicalized. And I
always couch when I say something like that in saying
that I'm a believer in free speech and I'm not
trying to censor free speech. But I'm so annoyed sometimes
to hear the left, and I've explained this to you before,
but hear the left say that the right is radicalizing
its base, that it's causing its base to do horrible,
crazy stuff, when by and large, the people we've seen
recently doing horrible crazy things or on the left, and
the rhetoric coming out of the left is intentionally insane,
because even though I'm more convinced than I was when
this whole thing started that Zorn Mumdami actually thought he
might have had an avenue to arrest Net Yahoo and
that it wasn't all political theater only because of how
long it took him to admit it. By and large,
I still tend to think that he knew all along,
and he was doing all of this as performative and
all the things that make politics so awful and terrible,
and honestly the thing that makes people likely to be
radicalized when they believe you and they wind up realizing
you can't do the thing that you say that you
were going to do, and you blame someone else for it,
even though you knew all along it couldn't happen, and
then they want to take matters into their own hands. Honestly,
I'm somewhat worried about the safety of Net and Yahoo
while he's in New York, even though he will be
protected by the Secret Service. All Right, I'm going to
move on to other things. I think this is interesting.
Abby Phillip was questioning if non citizens voting in New
York was really fraud and Jake Tapper also said something amaz,
so I might as well play the tap or audio
two when it comes to this topic. But let's do
Let's do Abby first, and Scott Jennings does his typical
reaction to the insanity that comes out of that show
on CNN.
Speaker 11: But here we go, as they're trying to defraud the system.
There they they might have cast a ballot because they
just weren't aware that they were incorrectly put on the voter.
Speaker 10: They weren't aware of the United States.
Speaker 11: No, they they said, this is this accurately described as
fraud when none of these pets all tried to register.
Speaker 6: They cast ballots.
Speaker 3: Four hundred of them cast ballots. They had to actively
go do that.
Speaker 6: I assume no one voted in their name.
Speaker 3: Maybe they did, I don't know. But I love this
idea that she's like, is this really even fraud at all?
Speaker 1: Maybe it's totally fine and we probably should have just
accepted it, and then more illegal people can vote and
that'll be totally fine too.
Speaker 3: Like that's the extension of her thought.
Speaker 1: And what's amazing about it is it reminds me of
any Instagram video or any sort of like TikTok video
where someone pretends that they unwillingly do anything, Like my
favorite ones is when someone eats unhealthy food when they
were trying to eat healthy, like they're sitting in front
of a salad and then a brick hits them in
the face and they wind up eating a hamburger.
Speaker 3: There's versions of that out there.
Speaker 1: That's essentially what they're trying to say happen here that
a bunch of people who know they're not in this
country with any right to be here, accidentally voted. They
got confused, they didn't know if maybe they were born
American citizen the whole time, and so they voted for
that reason, or they were shoved down a flight of
stairs and fell into a voting booth and then cast
a ballot and then left all by accident. It's incredible
to hear them say this, but this is the version
of trying to make anything make sense on their side,
moving the goalposts, as it's often called, because there's no
other route forward for the left to defend this. This
is obviously fraud, and it's entirely connected to what President
Trump talked about last week that most broadcast news stations
didn't even want to Here's Jake Tapper though, which is
even better, like this is a chef's kiss version of
is this even really a thing that's happening?
Speaker 3: Because why would anybody do it?
Speaker 1: Question that it's hilarious to hear the masket and to
wonder how they could possibly pretend to say these things authentically.
Speaker 5: Here in the country illegally, and you get a letter
saying that you can vote, and you know you're not
supposed to. Not only you're not supposed vote, you're not
supposed to be there.
Speaker 6: Why do you vote? Like I think you could register
for a party some of these.
Speaker 3: So why would you do any of that?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: The left is constantly promising the people who are here
illegally a path to vote, a path to all kinds
of stuff, and giving you free things along the way.
One of the biggest reasons that the Biden open door
policy was so detrimental not just to our country but
to the Democratic Party because it became something that they
tried to ignore for as long as they could, until
inevitably they couldn't because the totality of the American people said,
we don't want this. The left leaning voters, you know,
I always use it as an example, because I lived
there a long time, the South side of Chicago. I
was up in arms angry about seeing an amount of
money going to people who had no right to be here,
to like live in hotels and get free food. They
thought that was insane.
Speaker 3: Society.
Speaker 1: Parts of society that thought they're often been neglected themselves
and want government handouts, couldn't possibly fathom how other people
with less right were getting them than they were, because
at least they're American citizens. And I understood that, And
that's what eventually made that topic such a big issue,
and I think one of the big reasons that Trump
did so well. It's one of a few, but I
think it's honestly one of the main things that the
conservative side of the aisle had such a definitive win on.
Speaker 3: And we're right back into this world. Why would they vote.
Speaker 1: They would vote because they want to be here and
they don't want to have to leave, and your side
let them in, and your side it says they don't
have to leave, like of course they do that.
Speaker 3: Who wouldn't. It's voting in self interest, to be honest.
Speaker 1: I actually I talk about this in another way whenever
I have a conversation with people about why young individuals,
young people, young voters often wind up voting Democratic. And
you've probably heard the saying that when you're young, if
you have a heart, you vote Democratic, and as you
get older, if you have a brain, you vote a Republican,
you vote conservatively. But the thing is more and more
the obvious version of trying to buy someone's vote is
out there. If you have a student loan and you
look at the two political parties and all the different
things that you might say, you know what, I don't
agree with them on this. They're kind of crazy. They're
pretty communists, like all the things you would normally hate.
But you're nineteen twenty twenty one and maybe not worried
about things the way you should be. Quite yet in life.
You don't have a house, you don't have kids. It's
just you and you're just making your way at the
beginning of your life. And one of the two political
sides says, and by the way, all those loans signed
up for Boom, we're gonna get rid of them.
Speaker 3: They're gone.
Speaker 1: You vote that way, you vote that way solely out
of self interest, and you don't really worry about anything else.
It's the exact same thing with any ability for anyone
in California or anywhere else to vote without the legal
right to live in our country, to actually cast about
in an election would solely be for their own sake
and their own benefit.
Speaker 3: So how do you not understand that truthfully?
Speaker 1: And by the way, one other thing that I find funny,
we talk about voting so often and passing the Save
Act and voter ID being something that Americans all agree on,
and this week, virally people have been talking about how
Olive Garden cards you if you get the pasta Pass
or whatever it's called, which is hilarious to me that
you cannot have the pasta.
Speaker 3: Pass without aid.
Speaker 1: And it's now become a thing, and the left is
accusing the right of talking about stuff that's silly, and
the right is accusing the left of easily misunderstanding how
obvious a voter ID should be if Olive Garden uses it.
Speaker 3: But I do like this clip.
Speaker 1: It was put up by a lefty social media account,
but it is yet another complaint about how crazy it
is that we can't agree on if voter ID is
racist or not because the left claims it is. In
the world of voting in our elections, but a company
that does not really make genuine Italian This has come
from an Italian.
Speaker 3: I like Olive Garden.
Speaker 1: If they're an advertiser of the show, I probably love
Olive Garden, but it doesn't make you know, genuine Italian food,
I'll tell you that. And they understand the need to
have an ID.
Speaker 12: When you think about something like Save America, which is
at the heart of democracy, just saying show picture ID
to vote. For God's sake, you can't go get pasta
at Olive Garden without a picture ID. Why not be
able to show a picture ID to vote?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I feel like left's going to be like
you can't get unlimited pasta. You can go by pasta
without an ID, but it's not going to be unlimited
unless you get the Pasta pass and you throw that
ID in there. This is amazing, And again I would
actually recommend, and I'm only doing this because I don't
know why I go into my New York accident.
Speaker 3: I'm from Jersey. I'm an Italian from Jersey.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you that you should really just go
to like Little Italy, or you should go to an
actual Italian restaurant to have some good Italian food. If
you want to bring the family somewhere a little bit cheaper, sure,
Olive gardens the right bet. I don't think i'd ever
be I think I'd lose my Italian card if I
bought the pasta pass. But I'm not sure you guys
can let me know. I'm happy to be told that
I can have all the past I want, because guess
what I do have an ID? All right, quick break,
A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the data.

Speaker 1: This is the Dana Shell. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you at d Lash
Dana Lash Radio on x A great way to stay
connected to her at Radio Craig Z if for some
reason you want to follow me with way less fancy
social media stuff. A couple things out there that I do,
like Jasmine Crockett claiming that not cheering for Argentina was
rooted in racism, which made no sense to me. And
then actually Javier Bisera was talking about where you get
a top go in California and this was odd.
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and hit play on this.
Speaker 13: Whether you are a new to our state in visiting
and we hope you do spend some money, and if
you're going to buy a street talk, will buy a
real street talk wo, not if not something from one
of these. You know, I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 3: I don't even know what he just said there.
Speaker 1: I'm still very confused, and he honestly looked like he
was about to drop the f bop on the fake
street tacos that he doesn't like it.
Speaker 13: You are new to our state in visiting, and we
hope you use and if you're going to buy a
street talk, will buy a real street talk wo.
Speaker 3: Not if not something from one of these.
Speaker 6: You know, I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 3: Why you're so mad? Man? I live in Texas.
Speaker 1: We have something called tex mex Here, which is inspired
by both Mexico and the United States. And I feel
like Hanvia Bisera, if he ever were forced to a
text mex taco, I would be very very upset about it.
And I'm actually also married to a Mexican, so I
do understand that some things taste authentically like they're from
that country, and some things taste like they're from here.
I wonder what it's like to take Javier Besera to
Taco bell. Probably awful, I imagine, and especially now with
the potential for explosive things to have gone up quite
a bit more than before. But that's just hilarious to
me that he's like, go get a real one. Darn it,
thank you for the advice I hear. Is Jasmine Crockett
saying that a rooting against Argentina in twenty twenty six
was rooted in racism. It's like the church lady yelling
about Satan, but it's their version of it. It's everything
is racism. Anything is racism. Whoever it is saying this
on the left that does it. And it's just crazy
to think that so many things have to be couched
in anst. You got to be racist, sexist, you gotta
be something. But here's the other thing that's funny to me.
And I barely pay attention to soccer. I paid more
attention in this World Cup than I've ever played it,
paid attention before. But I definitively know before I hit
play in this audio why people were cheering for Argentina
in twenty twenty two and why they weren't cheering for
them in twenty twenty six. They wanted Lionel Messi to
win one because he never had, and so most of
society just four years ago seemed to be aggressively in
favor of Argentina succeeding on a world stage and like
any other sport, anyone who actually pays attention to sports.
To me, this is Jasmine Crockett showing you don't know ball,
as they would say in social media, she doesn't watch sports.
And this is how you show me without showing, without
telling me. Because once you build someone up, it's the
quote from the Michael Jordan Sneaker movie Air, you then
tear them back down. We do it all the time
to everybody in sports. We want you to be incredible
when you're the underdog Rocky Balboa, and then the moment
that you become the person expected to win, or you've
won a few times, a lot of people turn on
you because they don't like the fact that you're getting
all you know, full of yourself now, whoever you are,
whatever you're doing in saying that that is the world
of sports as a whole to everyone and anyone, regardless
of their race. Apparently not true for Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 14: Oh enough, that captured the imaginations of the entire world
when they saw all of these people of color, that
was planned for all these teams and ultimately, if you
recall the last two teams, it was Argentina in Spain,
and it seemed like the vast.
Speaker 3: Majority of the world was rooting for.
Speaker 14: Argentina or actually against Argentina, right, And why was that?
Just give me an explanation if you could get if
you'll just let them finish there, they were.
Speaker 6: Good, spanning, the best team.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's why they were rooting for them.
Speaker 14: There's also a racist history that excused show I got
oh it is.
Speaker 1: It feels like to me, whenever church Lady yelled satan,
whenever people on the left, whoever they are, it doesn't
have to be people that are black, it's white people
do this all the time too, or they just yell
out loud like it's racism or it's sexism, or it's
something again, go back to twenty twenty two and look
at how many people were cheering for Argentina to win.
Speaker 3: I guess we weren't race.
Speaker 1: We get confused as a society as to what years
we are and what years we aren't racist people. And actually,
if I want to talk about race a little more,
which is a white dude at forty I don't always
want to do but darn it. Sometimes you do it
because it's what's in the news. And I'm not afraid
to have these conversations, and being afraid of them is
what makes us terrible, what makes us incapable of all
kinds of discussions. But Brandon Gill, the politician out of Texas,
absolutely torched somebody. It's a white woman, by the way,
that he was asking questions at a hearing to the
director of the Smithsonian American History Museum. So this is
white and white crime for anyone that wants to be
up in arms for some other reason. But it's amazing,
and it's all about race, and it's all about a
document that this Smithsonian American History Museum uses to train
people and to teach people all different kinds of things.
And it has this long description of what white supremacy
is and what characteristics of white supremacy typically are. And
Brandon had a problem with some of the stuff in
this document, and I do like and I have the
long form to play a couple minutes of this audio
here that we go a couple roads, the typical roads
that someone who gets trapped in a logical argument that
they don't like because they're losing the other side is
making a logical set of points as to how what
you're saying is not true and what I'm saying is
just factually true.
Speaker 3: You have two choices.
Speaker 1: Then the person defending themselves either goes the road if
I didn't know anything about this, I'm naive, or they
actually try to fight fire with fire and disagree with everything,
and that usually leads to something hilarious. We got a
little bit of both as far as the choose your
own adventure of how the director of the Smithsonian American
History Museum chose to answer these questions from Brandon gial
But I want to play. There's like four and a
half minutes of this that went viral. I won't play
all of that, but I'm going to give you a
couple minutes and jump in as we go.
Speaker 6: You say that the goal of history is to be objective.
Speaker 3: Yes, the goal of history is to be objective. She
is going to do a long pause here.
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir for the question. You know, I think
that there are many goals of history, and certainly as
you collect, as we do, examine, evidence creates.
Speaker 6: Scots objectivity one of the goals of history.
Speaker 4: We strive to be objective and nonpartisan and not based
on any idea.
Speaker 6: It's one of the goals that see I love.
Speaker 1: How hard it is for the like the basics of
these when these people who testify know that they're, you know,
opposing a certain side of the political aisle, so when
a Republican is asking them a question, they're so difficult.
I don't mean to keep, you know, crapping on things
that happen in my own relationship. I love my wife
For anyone that listened to the show and think I've
made too many jokes about it, but this feels similar
to me to asking her where she wants to go
to eat every time for dinner if we're ever going
to go out and not make food at home, which
luckily we don't really do that often anymore.
Speaker 3: But if I ask her, like, where do you want
to go? It's this level of challenge that you have
a little.
Speaker 6: Bit concerning it.
Speaker 15: It certainly does to me because as part of this
white supremacy document that your organization has promoted, objectivity is
a core and defining aspect of white supremacy culture. Do
you think that it's the goal of the Smithsonian Institution
to promote white supremacy culture.
Speaker 3: And so now there's going to be a bunch do
you i'd sharing with me.
Speaker 15: Which document white supremacy culture right here? This is part
of the mass action toolkit that your organization has promoted
for several years now under your leadership.
Speaker 3: Now there's going to be another pause, some writing, some thinking,
some one.
Speaker 15: You're promoting a white supremacy culture at the Smithsonian?
Speaker 3: Are you? Did you answer the question?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Why is it taking so long promoting them? Okay?
Speaker 6: Repeating and this is a difficult question.
Speaker 4: No, sure, I'm just thinking about the mass action toolkit.
We didn't develop it. But back to your question, No,
we're not promoting any ideology.
Speaker 1: It's crazy that that took like thirty seconds right there too,
where you're repeating the quest again. This feels very similar
to do you want to go to this restaurant or
that one? And the wife being like, do I want
to go to that one? If they repeat it, the
answer is no. By the way, I have learned that
in my relationship concern you.
Speaker 6: That your goal is objectivity.
Speaker 15: One of your goals is objectivity, and your mass action
toolkit references objectivity is a defining characteristic of white supremacy culture.
Speaker 6: It's not our toolkit.
Speaker 15: It is your toolkit. You've been promoting it for quite
some time.
Speaker 4: We did not come up with the toolkit, sir.
Speaker 3: I love this too. I don't mean to interrupt it
so much. I just can't help it.
Speaker 1: They use the toolkit. They've used this since twenty nineteen.
They trained staff based on the information that's within this document.
They didn't write it. So that was her big defense
right here, is that even though we've adopted it and
use it, and he never actually accused.
Speaker 3: Them of creating it. He just said that they promote it.
This is part of the back and forth.
Speaker 1: This is the version of I want to win a
very specific semantic argument so I don't actually have to
answer the broad general quot question that you've given me.
Speaker 3: That's much harder for me to defend myself.
Speaker 6: I've been promoting it.
Speaker 4: It is used as a reference. I believe probably in
twenty nineteen, twenty twenty yees.
Speaker 15: Under your leadership. It has been used as a reference.
Is Mickey Mouse racist?
Speaker 4: Mickey Mouse is not racist.
Speaker 15: It's not racist. According to the Smithsonian I like institution.
One of your exhibits reference to Mickey Mouse is representing quote,
vestiges of long standing traditions of blackface minstrelsy.
Speaker 6: Would you describe that as racist?
Speaker 4: No, The historical trajectory of the origins of the fem
mouse hy.
Speaker 15: Directly and mickey Mouse is rooted in racism. It's rooted
in menstrully minstrelsying. You don't think the blackface minstreul cy
is racist?
Speaker 4: Yes, and it's certain obvious.
Speaker 1: See that's the moment I feel like this too, And
I don't mean to keep comparing it to my relationship,
but it's easy to do because one person is definitely
trying to be difficult for the sake of being difficult
and not just have an honest conversation to make things easier.
But this is the moment too, where you know that
you're no longer arguing because there's a disagreement about the
thing you're talking about. You're arguing because the person is
kind of mad at you because they're starting to argue
stuff that they normally would agree to. When you say,
is you know minstrel cy itself racist, the answer is
obviously yes. But for some reason, the answer for her.
Speaker 15: Zons that have been well documented, I think that that's
problematic that Mickey Mouse also has those racial overtones.
Speaker 4: It's not for me to determine what's problematic. It's determined
to me what's accurate.
Speaker 6: Ah, is that right? Is it important to be polite? One?
Speaker 3: Last one?
Speaker 6: Is it important?
Speaker 3: One?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 2: O good.
Speaker 15: It's also interesting because the same mass action toolkit that
your organization has been promoting references politeness as a defining
characteristic of white supremacy culture.
Speaker 6: Man, are you a white supremacist?
Speaker 2: God? No, sir?
Speaker 1: I love my favorite part too, the hymn no sir,
because that's when you know she's actually absolutely so so angry.
Speaker 6: It's supremacist.
Speaker 3: No sir, No, I'm not sir? How dare you?
Speaker 2: Sir?
Speaker 3: But that it's just funny all that to me.
Speaker 1: I know, that's a long play of a piece of
audio that I thought was a brilliant takedown of the
logic of a discussion because he's not actually trying to
talk about race for the sake of race, which I
think a lot of people do. He's not trying to
talk about the way in which this organization runs itself
for a political stunt. He's doing it because it's very
easy to dive into the world of the actual thought
process behind the things you choose to train your staff on,
and how they're flawed, and how it's odd to say
that someone is who is polite, who cares about, you know,
accuracy and historical research and information, that those things somehow
are also white supremacy and that oh yeah, by the way,
Mickey Mouse is a racist, which I've never I've never
felt from him.
Speaker 3: I never got that just ever watching The Mickey Mouse Club.
It never hit me.
Speaker 1: I guess I needed the Smithsonian to tell me about it.
Quick break a little more coming up. This is Greg
Collins filling in on the Dana Show.
Speaker 9: Our partners that bring you the program. It is the
folks over at super Beats, you guys know, long term
partner with the show and good friends of ours. They

com slash Dana. That is where you can get the
new watermelon super Beach Chews limited Edition. When they're gone,
they're gone.
Speaker 3: This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 1: My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about.
I want all the fraud to be found. I want
all the fraudsters to be arrested. That is something that
President Trump promised us on the campaign trail. A doze
in other people promised us that too. And guess what
this is the most important part of what I'm about
to say.
Speaker 3: It is happening.
Speaker 1: People are getting in trouble, They are getting arrested for fraud.
A lot of fraud is being uncovered and a lot
of it is being stopped, and in some cases we're
even getting to clawback taxpayer dollars that we're given to
horrible organizations that do all this stuff. A case in
point of Fox and Friends, I think that was this morning.
They were talking about another foreign national who was arrested,
one of the top wanted fraudsters, who I think is
alleged to have billed half a billion dollars in fraudulent
Medicare charges four hundred and fifty seven million dollars.
Speaker 3: These are the.
Speaker 1: People that make doctor Evil look like he could actually
exist in our society. For anyone that remembers the reference
that might be pretty dated now and I can't help it.
Speaker 12: Here we go.
Speaker 7: There was another person who was napped who's on this list.
It's alleged that he has five hundred and forty seven
million dollars in medicaid fraud. He's a fugitive overseas and
he was apprehended in the Middle East. He was returned
to the United States on July twenty first, yesterday. He
was carrying a fake Mexican passport under a false name.
He has he has these labs and he's billing Medicare
for unnecessary cancer genetic tests. Each each time he is fraudulent,
he's charge arging the government ten to twenty thousand dollars,
and now he is a multimillionaire because of us. So
check out this list.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, I mean, look at some of the people.
Speaker 1: I know it's television or not radio. Well, I know
I'm doing radio, they're doing TV, so I can't actually
have you look at all of this. But they have
a list of like fourteen to fifteen people, all of
them with millions of dollars and some tens of millions
in one case hundred or two cases actually hundreds of
millions of dollars that they defrauded from our government and
mostly our medical our medicare industry. What's crazy about this, too,
is that this is in the world of cancer. Like
I know that it's already horrible, but it's even more
so when a person like this does something like this.
The guy's name is Khalid Ahmed SATORI I think I
might not be saying that correctly, but anyway, twenty nineteen,
charged with healthcare fraud a conspiracy, allegedly stealing five hundred
and forty seven million dollars for years, then when on
the run, we ignored him for a while and now
we have finally caught him, which thank god. And this
is the thing that I think you hear about sometimes
for people that say that they're upset that they're not
getting what they want in the world of the current
administration and power, that they voted for Trump and it's
not lived up to the expectation. These are the scalps
of the bad guys being caught. And I don't know
why it doesn't get more pub. I know why it
doesn't get more pub in the world of a mainstream
left leaning liberal media, but more pub with the conservatives,
because I think we all need to acknowledge this and say,
all right, there are some good things happening. They're better
than what we've seen before, and they do deserve some
level of I voted for that, I wanted that. I'm
glad this is occurring. I know it's not the high
profile names. Yet, No, I don't think that we'll actually
respond the way that we should to the success that's
going on in the world of fighting fraud until a
name that you and I know actually gets thrown in
the hooscale, whether that's you know, Tim Walls, or ilhan Omar,
whoever it might be. But for now, I think it
is important to at least point out the amount of
things that are going well in the world of fighting
and trying to prevent this.
Speaker 3: Especially Robert F.
Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior is doing a great job and outing a
lot of the medical fraud that exists. All right, let's
play some audio Senator or secretary, excuse me, Mark or Rubio.
He was talking about how the US does not want
to become a communist country. Of course, we don't want that.
Many many Democrats, including several that are running for office
in the midterm elections, seem hell bent on the opposite,
and they want to call it democratic socialism. But inevitably
we all know, even Bill Maher knows what it actually is.
Speaker 16: Well, again, what the President put out on Thursday, that
was the declassification of documents from our intelligence community.
Speaker 6: That's what he put out.
Speaker 16: He declassified intelligence assessments from our intelligence community. But your
question was about communist influence. Yeah, the United States doesn't
want to be a communist country. We're never going to
be a communist country, and we're not going to allow
communist influences to undermine our politics. Or our society. So
I don't know what the inconsistency you're referring to is.
It's very clear, I don't you know. Obviously we understand
the Chinese system and other systems, but I can tell
you our system doesn't want communism, and we're certainly not
going to allow communist efforts to undermine American society and
drive wedges into our country.
Speaker 6: And that's what we're seeing, you know.
Speaker 16: And by the way, one of the leading you know,
culprits of that for many years, the intellectual authors and
particularly in our hemisphere, is the Cuban regime, which which.
Speaker 1: Of course Cuba is one of a few historical and
terrible examples of how bad communism can be. What I
think is really interesting and obvious to a lot of
us is how often the people that are doing the
bad thing accuse the other side of doing that thing.
Like the communists are the ones that are yelling stop
being communists, to President Trump, stop being a dictator, to
a person who struggled to get a ballroom built, because
of how little he actually is in fact a dictator
in this country currently, And they're the ones were also
advocating to buy up all the resources.
Speaker 3: They want the government to own all of the.
Speaker 1: Production mechanisms, all of the different industries in ways that
would be devastating to the actual version of society we
live in, the capitalist society we live in. And more importantly,
it would consolidate power in a way that would make
them even more dangerous and terrible. They all know that,
and they all keep saying that they want that, and
they're telling you it's to protect you from the bad
guys who are in fact the Nazis, even though at
least one of them actually had a Nazi tattoo. That's
the craziest I always think about that I shouldn't and
I know that Graham Platter is now finally gone. It
took Democrats a while, but just like apparently azorin Mumdami
admitting that he can't arrest Benjamin net Yahoo, it took
a bit for Democrats to acknowledge the thing that was
obvious to the rest of us.
Speaker 3: But that is the craziest thing.
Speaker 1: Like if you get in an argument with somebody on
the left and they start calling you a fascist or
Trump a fascist, and in the back of your brain
you're thinking about how close they came to trying to
elect someone with a literal Nazi tattoo on their body,
like that's it's just nuts, all right.
Speaker 3: I want to move on to this.
Speaker 1: Texas Representative Brandon Gill is quickly becoming a pretty i
think big name in the world of politicians. You might
not have heard about, but maybe you've heard a little
something about. He's a rising star I think within the
Republican Party and certainly within Texas politics. And the reason
why and you've seen this before other politicians have done
a great job at this in the past. He just
absolutely annihilates people in these hearings. The latest person to
wind up in a conversation with Brandon Gill that she
probably didn't want to have was the Smithsonian excuse me,
director of I think American History, doctor Athea A.
Speaker 3: Hardigg and some of this stuff.
Speaker 1: And I'm actually going to jump in because there's a
point where he asks if being polite is white supremacy
because a document that the Smithsonian Institution of American History
has long championed and used and training staff has been
you know, kind of forced to read through it. But
this document that they're very very pro says a lot
of insane things, and it seems to make almost anything
into something that's a vehicle to being a white supremacist.
So Brandon gil just asked her the question. He goes,
this is in one of the things that you seem
to most promote within your organization, do you actually agree
with the assessments being made by it? And I love
I'll say one last thing before I hit play on
the audio. I love when someone on the left is
caught or or someone crazy is caught in in a
logical argument like this, because they have to make one
of two decisions. It's always the same. The first decision
is plead ignorance. They pretend they have no idea what's
being talked about. They pretend it's not a big deal,
that no one actually uses it, it's not theirs. Some
version of that or two the opposite. They try to
defend it, which you see a lot less of. You
definitely see a version of I'm going to try to
fight fire with fire way less often because it's so
much harder. But in this case, in this example, it
seems that this person, this left leaning leader of the Smithsonian,
actually did try in her brain to fight the argument
that Brandon Gill was making in a way that seemed surreal.
Here I'll show you, We'll play it, and then you'll
get what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 6: Is Mickey Mouse racist?
Speaker 4: Mickey Mouse is not racist.
Speaker 6: It's not racist.
Speaker 15: According to the Smithsonian Institution, one of your exhibits referenced
to Mickey Mouse is representing quote vestiges of long standing
traditions of blackface minstrelsy.
Speaker 6: Would you describe that as racist?
Speaker 4: No, The historical trajectory of the origins of Mickey Mouse,
tied directly.
Speaker 15: To Mickey Mouse is rooted in racism. Is that you're
testimony here, It's rooted in menstrelly minstrelsying. You don't think
the blackface minstrels see is.
Speaker 4: Racist on obvious racial overtone.
Speaker 1: That is my favorite part because there were other moments
in this conversation where she was trying to just pretend
she had no idea what the stuff was that he
was referencing, where he was getting his information, essentially trying
to discredit him and not have an argument at all.
But in this one topic, she went the other road.
She went the road of well, I don't really know,
I'm smarter than you. It's kind of a complicated issue.
And I love this last part of it where he goes,
are you sure that you want to say the thing
that you're saying right now the way that you're saying it,
or do you kind of want to take it back?
Speaker 6: Is rooted in racism? Is that you're testimony?
Speaker 15: It's rooted in menstruallly minstressing. You don't think the blackface
minstrels see is racist?
Speaker 1: The right answer to that question, by the way, yes
it is. Is Mickey Mouse racist? No, we could have
avoided this whole thing if I said no at the beginning,
But now that we're here, I probably should say yes
to this.
Speaker 3: That'd be a no from her.
Speaker 4: And it's certain on obvious overtones that have been well documented.
Speaker 15: Think that's problematic that Nickey Mouse also has those racial overtones.
Speaker 4: It's not for me to determine what's problematic. It's determined
to me what's accurate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then you actually had a whole thing at
the Smithsonian that talked about how this was not exactly
okay and it was bad, etc.
Speaker 3: Etc. So there's just so much of that. Honestly, you
see this all the time.
Speaker 1: The Left gets caught in their own logical loop and
how failed and terrible it is, and they get mad
when you pointed out to them this is the version
of like women shouldn't play in men's sports that for
some reason is a bigger issue than it is. And
here I'll say this before I take a break. Sometimes
the left gets obsessed with the way that the right
or the way that conservatives argue their topics, essentially meaning
they accuse us of obsessing about something that they only
care a little bit about, Like, come on, we don't
need to debate this all the time. Your sexist, because
you're the one who keeps bringing up. The reason it
gets talked about so much on the conservative side of
these discussions is because it's so easy to prove how
ridiculous it is. It's like arguing with a child some
of the times when you're doing it, and there's a
temptation in the back of the mind to just keep going,
because you're like I just I don't know how we've
even gotten here in the world in which we live
and the logical ways in which we were hoping your
brain also works, but apparently it doesn't. So I think
that's why some of those topics to the left seem
like they're an obsession of the right and to the right.
They're just the easiest path to go to demonstrate that
we all need to come back to the world of sanity.
All right, quick break, A lot coming up. Creig Collins
filling in on the Danta Show.
Speaker 9: As we rule towards headlines, our partners, the folks who
help bring you the program. Ghost bed is the bed.
This is a mattress I sleep on every night, and
I love my mattress. I do not toss and turn.
I actually woke up. I went to sleep last night
because I have This is I think my second week
now with my ghost bed pillow. I went to sleep
last night and I laid down.
Speaker 3: I think I was out.
Speaker 6: I don't think I moved.
Speaker 9: I don't think I moved all night, which is bizarre
because I am a crazy sleep and apparently I get
up sometimes. I don't at all with my ghost bed.
I woke up all of a sudden it was morning, Like, oh,
you've wake up and you feel rested, And when you've
been sleeping on a bad mattress, it's weird when you
wake up and you're like, wow, I feel rested.
Speaker 7: What is this?
Speaker 3: This is energy?
Speaker 9: What because you're not tossing and turning all night. That's
the thing. The other part of this is that ghostbed
puts cooling tech into every one of their mattresses, so
you know right out of the gate that this mattress
has just built better quality materials, better construction. Cooling tech
is not an expensive up charge that's already in all
of their mattresses. Hot sleepers or some of Ghostbed's happiest customers.
And so if you're tossing and turning, you're sleeping hot.
If you're waking up stuff that's your mattress. Get a
ghost bed. You were going to be so happy. They
give you one hundred and one nights to try it
in your home, and if you do not feel the difference,
you can send it back risk free. Right now, ghostbeds

Speaker 1: And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five. That's right, it's time
for Quick five on The Dana Show, a d Lash
Dana Lash Radio, and X great ways to stay connected
to her at radio. CRAIGZ if you want to see
what I'm up to in the world of watching the
Yankees fall apart, Garrett Cole a perfect game for a while,
and then of course the home run. That's what happens
all the time for Garrett. There's a lot of home anyway,
it doesn't matter, not a sports show. Twenty two percent
of people never use AI. In a study that came
out recently, a whole lot of people, way more than
twenty two percent say that they're incredibly worried about AI
being used in the dating world. Essentially, a lot of
people are scared that they're interacting with AI until they
actually get into a place with a human. And I
don't think it's just like a catfish version of being
afraid like that the person you're talking to is going
to be way less attractive than you thought they were
going to be.
Speaker 3: They're also just not going to be as smooth. Although
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: Any time I've ever been told that like AI is
good at something, when you inevitably go look, there's reasons
to think that they're not exactly great at it, yet
like there's cracks in the armor. I bet, I guess
is the right way to say it. So I feel like,
and I'm a guy who's been married for a while
and hopefully not chatting in a romantic way with AI
without me knowing, i'd be something if the missus has
been using it, But nonetheless.
Speaker 3: Like, I feel like you could figure it out.
Speaker 1: I feel like if it was AI all the time
talking back to you, you might eventually be like, all right,
this isn't a person.
Speaker 3: But who knows.
Speaker 1: But people are worried about that. A lot of young
people are worried about AI and its impact on the workplace.
I do find it interesting anyone I work with who's
a twenty something and you have producers in that range
of age in the world of radio, A lot of
them are very proficient in AI already, and a lot
of the rest of us, I think, are getting much
better at it or use it enough.
Speaker 3: But all the people in the world that most say that.
Speaker 1: They're afraid of taking away their opportunities also seem to
be the people that are best at using it. So
I don't know if that means that they've embraced the
thing they don't like, and they're just capable in a
world where nobody else is.
Speaker 3: But for example, I work with somebody.
Speaker 1: Who's not in that age range, who's a little bit
older I won't say how much older. And anytime you
make anything are they look at you and you're like, oh,
you told AI to do that, and it's like, well, no,
I actually created this thing on my own. I should
have gone to AI, is what I think as a
forty year old man, but I did. I actually know
how to mix some audio and things myself. And I
find that funny too, that there's this gap of people
and discussions in the world of it. And honestly, one
last thing I'll say about it, A ridiculous amount now
of videos have a very obvious AI thumbnail, which is fine,
but we're all doing the same thing. We're all doing
the face of one, two, three people and then some
sort of image in the background that AI created and
like a phrase. And I wonder how impactful that'll be
if every video all over the Internet has the same
thing as far as the thumbnail goes, and chat g
EPT is working overtime to create them all.
Speaker 3: But we'll say it's not too I like them. It's
just interesting. They're so out there.
Speaker 1: The nostalgic smell of video stores is something that people
were talking about on the internet. I think Mental Floss
had this story, and I thought this was hilarious. The
things that you most remember from walking into like a
Blockbuster to rent a movie on a Friday night. Stale
popcorn was one of the things if your movie theater
even had it, and they didn't just sell like the
thing that you go microwave at home in the bucket.
Overheated plastic is another thing that a lot of people
said that you could smell often when you walked into
the video store, which I agree with, and a bunch
of young people have no idea what this is. Like
carpet cleaner and vacuums, they did seem to carpet clean
and vacuum a lot, which I never wanted to know
the reason why. And then finally, like printed paper is
something that they said that people could smell a lot
when they walked into the video store. I don't remember
that one as much, but I feel like it kind
of makes sense. Yeah, maybe they're just doing some things.
They're printing out some covers for all of the different
movies that you're actually selecting going back and watching. But
I love that that one viral because nostalgia is something
I'm always a fan of. And then finally, one last
thing that I thought was interesting. A recent social media
post went viral because it asked a very simple question,
are women beholden to certain water bottle brands? Like the
water bottle brands have a hold on ladies and not
the men in our society? Whether this is Stanley hydro
Flask was mentioned here, and actually they even went back
into it and looked at like previous generations and how
maybe people gravitated at least throughout the early two thousands
to specific brands and even further than that. And I
do think that's funny because I'm a married guy who
occasionally gets confused as to why we have another water
bottle in that like, I don't know how many we need.
I feel like it's very similar. I'm going to get
in trouble for saying this on the radio, but to
my confusion sometimes at the amount of shoots that wind
up in my house because I've always felt like we
had enough shoes and somehow someday there's more shoes and
they're not mine. None of them are mine. The same
seems to be true about water bottles, just less. So
I think it's only a couple that could added a year.
But I don't know how much water we need to drink.
It's just my wife and I. But I do think
that there might be a stranglehold there. And by and large,
I like that my wife buys the cheap ones. She's
not buying the super fancy forty dollars water bottle. She's
finding the cheap one at the thrift store or something
at the Marshalls. But still from personal experience, and that's
all I can go on here with the question. The
internet is asking that a lot of people virallly are
answering yes. This seems that there is some sort of control.
Quick break, A little bit more coming up. Greg Collins
filling in on the Dana Show. This is the Dana Show.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you at d Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X
great ways. Although so many ways on social media to
stay connected to her, I keep mentioning that I also
follow her on TikTok and I have like five people
that I follow on TikTok.
Speaker 3: She's one of them.
Speaker 1: I barely do the TikTok because I just called it
the TikTok at Radio Craigze. If for some reason you
want to follow me as well, I'm not going to
be as good as the social media for her, but
I'd love it if you do. It makes me feel
good about myself anyway, and these filling shifts anyway, A
couple quick things. The New York Post is a place
that I often go to find what I describe as
lifestyle topics, and well, one of these is pretty funny.
The other one is very emotionally hard hitting. So just
warning you going in for anybody that's ever had an
experience like a part of it, Like the New York
Post came out of nowhere with one of their topics
that I found for today, but first during an outbreak
of explosive diarrhea in which I think authorities, the f DA,
I like that I just called them. Authorities have probably
pinpointed it to let us as the culprit, and maybe
Taylor Farms let us, although some tests have said no,
and probably the Taylor Farms people are saying no. Who knows,
but Anyway, as all this is going on in the
world world of your health and your bowels, apparently a
list of the safest foods to buy at the store
has gone viral. These are things that are very unlikely
to ever contain any sort of trigger to explosive diarrhea.
I'm never gonna simplify my diet to the point of
the items that are listed here, because a lot of
great stuff is missing. But I did find that funny
that if someone's really terrified of this and they didn't
hoard enough toilet paper during COVID to get through it,
that maybe they go the road of just buying these
things at the grocery store. A dry pasta, oats, breakfast cereal,
flour after it's baked or cooked, crackers, pretzels, bread, and sugar.
We're all at the top end of the list. Not
sugar that goes in certain stuff, but just sugar in general.
Continuing on, these are the things safest to consume that
won't in fact have explosive diarrhea likely to be tied
to them. Salt, honey, cooking oils, vinegar, shelf stable, canned soups,
shelf stabled, boxed milk, and final pasteurized dairy products.
Speaker 10: That's it.
Speaker 1: You probably thought I wasn't going to do the whole list,
but I decided to because if it didn't get mentioned there,
then apparently the list that's going viral and social media
says odds of explosive diarrhea or at least not zero.
And so it's up to you if you want to
take that risk, if you want to go that road.
I definitely do, because all that stuff alone is not
enough for me to be happy. There's a whole lot
of things missing that I love, a whole lot. But anyway,
I just thought that was funny that, at a time
when people probably overly concern themselves with what's in the news,
including even stories like this, that the way they're trying
to go about it is a tat extreme. And then
here's the other one. I mentioned this a second ago.
It's a New York Times article that came out, I
think yesterday. It says one third of parents that have
a strange children believe that therapy is to blame for
that problem. A survey of seven thousand parents who said
they are strange from their kids, whether they have one
or more than one kid, said that at some point
they believe a therapist working with their child gave them
the advice to stay the heck away from mom, dad,
or both in any variety and say that that's a problem. Now,
if you dive even deeper into this story, it says
that a whole lot of people, now, young people are
stranged from their family, like it's a pretty common thing,
especially as strange from your parents. And the article goes on,
I think from a study out of the University of
Minnesota to say that part of it is a quote
hyper fixation on trauma, and this means essentially that people
feel harmed and that maybe your therapist is telling you
that it's all your parents' fault. So because of all
of that, you just cut everybody out. Now, I'll say
something as a person who's had kind of a unique
life in the world of family and whatnot, and I
won't get into it here, that there are reasons that
this does make sense and reasons that this don't. And
so I've always believed that even though family is family
and by and large you should try to find a
way to work things out, that there is a point
where people can step over a line. In that line,
it might be one that you can't get your way
back from. But I do think it's interesting that the
numbers are so high and that so many people believe that.
Some therapists said, well, if they're hurting you, just never
talk to them again, because I feel like at least
attempting to resolve some conflict is probably a better road
than never trying that at all. At least hop on
the phone, have the conversation. Maybe tell the person, whoever
they are, that you might be done with them, as
weird as that might be to say, but give them
a shot first. Don't just essentially disappear into the ether.
Speaker 3: That seems odd to me.
Speaker 1: But talk about a hard hitting story popping up in
the lifestyle section of the New York Post. Thanks a
lot for that, guys. And if my advice and advice
you thought was terrible, that's totally fine. I take it
with a grain of salt, like I do everything. Filling
in on the show, Thanks for being here, thrilled to
be with you. Actually back tomorrow. Craig Collin's filling in
