SPEAKER 28 :
That’s right. This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in for the day. Thrilled to be with you. A whole bunch of crazy stuff to talk about out there in the world. DLash or DanaLashRadio, two great ways to stay connected to her on X, on Twitter, great ways to stay connected to everything and anything that this show is doing on social media all the time. So many different ways to find Dana and all of the show content. All right, let’s get right into it. The most hilarious news over the last 24 hours to me. And there were a lot of things that I found a way to laugh at. I’m not sure they’re all supposed to be funny, but I found a way to laugh at a lot of these things. But the most hilarious is the investigation by the FBI into Tish James or Latita James, the attorney general in New York. I don’t know why I found this so amusing. Oh, yeah, of course I do. Because of all the investigating she did into Trump, it didn’t work. Here we go.
SPEAKER 05 :
The FBI and the U.S. Attorney in Albany have opened an investigation into mortgage fraud allegations against New York Attorney General Tish James. The Trump administration last month accused James of falsifying records to obtain favorable loans on homes she bought in Virginia and Brooklyn. Her lawyer aggressively denied the allegations. James last year won a civil case against President Trump that resulted in millions of dollars in penalties. She’s also joined several suits challenging his agenda.
SPEAKER 28 :
Yeah, shocking. Just shocking. That’s all she’s doing with all of the taxpayer dollars is trying to go after Trump any way she can in a place like New York, where at times they do find people guilty because they seem to be overwhelmingly one sided politically and not because the process that exists in our country is actually working. That’s my opinion. I’ve gotten messages from listeners sometimes saying, how dare you? say things like that. And what I love about that is those same people would probably say that the system is broken unfair to the other side. Whatever side you’re on, you might go ahead and lob those grenades occasionally. My favorite other piece of audio, though, from this story of Tish James and the FBI investigation is this New Yorker who showed up at a town hall yesterday and had a question. He just he wanted to ask something, you know, to the attorney general, and he wanted to see what she thought about it.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes, my question is for Tush James. Do you apologize to President Trump for wasting millions of dollars and the state of New York for a rich child who has a feel to know that you will be imprisoned for more than four years? How’s it feel?
SPEAKER 28 :
How’s it feel? How’s it feel, Tush? How’s it feel, Tush James? I love this guy. I love him so much. My favorite part, too, and this is coming from someone who was raised on the East Coast, is that booing a New Yorker doesn’t matter. He doesn’t care. You boo him all you want. He’s there. He’s asking his question. The booing almost feeds him. It makes him stronger, not weaker. And he’s walking out, and he’s holding his camera up as he’s saying, How’s it feel, Tush? How’s it feel, Tush? Oh, it’s so great. It’s so wonderful. And he’s absolutely right, by the way, about that. There seems to be a tremendous likelihood that what goes on in the FBI investigation into Tish or Push James is that she’s going to have some issues. She’s going to have some things she’s going to have to aggressively defend, as her lawyer apparently was trying to do. All right, we’ll move on. There’s other stuff out there in the world, although that story is one I’ll probably bring up again because I’m so entertained by it. This is Joe Biden, former president, mostly broken brain human being who occasionally maybe takes a bunch of drugs and pops up on some of these shows. That’s my opinion whenever he speaks clearly because we got so used to not expecting it on a day-to-day basis when he was in the office of president. But he popped up on The View and he did a few other interviews. And he was saying stuff. And I have an extreme reaction to a couple of the things that he said. Here is the first one. And this is obviously a lob in the world of The View. They ask former President Joe Biden why he thinks that Harris lost the election. And of course, it has to be racism, sexism or something like it. It can’t possibly be that she was a bad candidate and she had no real ideas whatsoever. that she gave to the American people. If you remember, I should play this audio, but I can’t help it. If you remember, the biggest first knock on Harris for the extent of her campaign, which wasn’t very long, was that she wasn’t even giving her position on stuff. And that anything she was talking about seemed to be profoundly different than the position she held for most of her political career. So those things mattered. Those things became big complaints on the left about their candidate. But screw that stuff. That couldn’t have been what helped her lose and what helped Trump win.
SPEAKER 03 :
But then election night came and it was like 2016 all over again. So why do you think the vice president lost? And were you surprised?
SPEAKER 16 :
I wasn’t surprised, not because I didn’t think the vice president was a qualified person to be president. She is.
SPEAKER 28 :
She’s not. That’s why I wasn’t surprised. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 16 :
Qualified to be president of the United States of America. But I was surprised. I wasn’t surprised because they went the route of the sexist route, the whole route. I mean, this is a woman. She’s this.
SPEAKER 01 :
She’s that.
SPEAKER 16 :
She’s that. Really, I’ve never seen quite as successful and a consistent campaign undercutting the notion that a woman couldn’t lead the country and a woman of mixed race.
SPEAKER 28 :
Here’s the thing. I actually know people who would say the same thing. I know it’s a strong narrative on the left and it’s one that works. If you’re someone on the left and you look and you don’t understand how Trump is the president, if you’re that deeply on that side, then you hear any version of hate exists on the right and you just dive in. You’re like, OK, that makes sense. That’s better. That has to be it. What’s amazing about that to me is it feels like a bunch of those individuals absolutely would have voted for Harris simply because she’s a woman, simply because she’s of mixed race, not because she actually had a good campaign. That’s the part that’s shocking. That’s the part that’s crazy, or at least you hope it is. I guess maybe I shouldn’t say it’s shocking because we’ve seen this movie too many times for this to be new. But the thing that’s so crazy to me is, like, there’s those terrible videos, and I can play a bunch of them. I sort of want to. Maybe I’ll do it later in the show. I’ve heard just speaking in circles that make no sense and interviews with people where they’re saying, I don’t know if you answered any of my questions. Those were the problems. That’s what went viral on places like TikTok. where young people, especially young men, started to decide there’s no way they could vote for Harris. It wasn’t because she was mixed race. It wasn’t because she was a woman. It was because she had no real plan and that the person she was working for, the person who was currently in charge, had done a lot of terrible things to our day-to-day life. Those two things mattered more to many voters than it seems Democrats still understand. They still seem to lack sight as to what the issues were and where the problems were. And by blaming race or blaming sexism as the reason for it, they won’t evolve to be more threatening, which I’m not mad about. I’d like to see Democrats continue to lose elections. That’s fine. But if you keep trumping our you keep you know parroting out that same narrative that same trump is terrible and everybody who voted for him is a horrible person idea you will continue to fail and what’s really interesting about this and this is pete boot edge edge uh who popped up on television as well he kind of circles around this idea and then also completely abandons it within the answer to a question so i’m going to play that audio too But it’s not because she is a woman or not because she’s mixed race that she lost the election. She lost because she was a terrible candidate. And do you know how I know this? Beyond all the things I saw with my eyes and heard with my ears? The fact that she didn’t even actually win a nomination to run for that office. She lost against Biden, as everyone knows, in 2020 when trying to be the candidate. And then she was given the nomination without actually having to fight for it in a primary. How do you call her a strong candidate when you never even allowed her to prove it to your own political side of the aisle that she was who they wanted? That’s part of the problem, I would think, and the thing they refuse to accept. But here’s boot edge edge saying that we have to do better in how we go after Trump, but then also saying that he’s a horrible, terrible person in the same sentence.
SPEAKER 29 :
We have got to make sure that our opposition and everything that we’re against, and obviously there is a lot to be passionately against right now. But it has to travel with a clearer picture of what we are for. Because there are a lot of voters who, for whatever reason, and Democrats might be shocked by this, but for whatever reason, did not find any of the things they’ve seen so far about Donald Trump to be disqualifying. And what that means is there’s something else that, it doesn’t mean they necessarily loved him, but they need to see something more.
SPEAKER 28 :
Here’s the thing. He absolutely gets it right in the middle and he gets it wrong a lot of the other places. But when he says we have to understand what we’re actually for, that is something that your own party doesn’t know that the opposing party can crap on constantly because it’s just too easy when you stand for nothing. And the truth is, you don’t want to tell them what you really stand for, because all the things you do behind closed doors are the things you’d like to keep a secret. You want politics or you want the voters to vote for a political candidate because she’s a woman, because she’s a race, you know, that you think needs to be in office for whatever reason, not because, again, of qualifications, but because we have to, you know, break the ceiling or break this issue. And then at the end of the day, you don’t actually want the policies to be part of the decision because you want to do whatever you want. You want to have eight years like under Obama, where whatever you say publicly is accepted and whatever you do privately seems terrible for a lot of people. And I just keep doing that. Let’s just keep getting politicians in based on non-qualifications, not the things that you would even get a job or you should get a job based on. That’s what they want to run on. So I love that he says that in the middle, that we need to be clearer on our stances on things because you’re not clear on most of that stuff. But then also the fact that he says Trump has not been disqualifying to most Republican voters or a whole lot of, I think, independent voters because most of what he’s done is save us money. And we like that. We enjoy when the government spends a whole lot less money when Doge does what it’s doing. This is a good thing to us, not to Bill Gates. I have audio to play in a little bit where he complains. But to me, this is an incredibly good thing. And of course, it is to you, too. Just one of many things happening that we’re happy about. All right. Well, we’ll take a break. We have a lot to get to today. There is a new pope. I lived in Chicago for years. I am from the East Coast, but I lived there for years. I am amused by some of the Chicago-specific jokes about the Pope. I am also a Catholic, by the way. I should put that out there. But I am amused at some of the stuff that people in Chicago are saying. Is he a Cubs fan? Is he a White Sox fan? All of that. And then I’m also equally amused by the narrative about how much the Pope hates conservatives and some of the things he said publicly about conservatives and how much that seems to entertain the left. And beyond that, and something I’ll get to a little bit later after a break, too, is how J.D. Vance handled that in a tweet that he sent out congratulating our new pope for his, you know, being placed in that position. So I think it’s really interesting when the left wants to highlight the ways in which they’re fighting and disagreeing. And the right, sometimes without anybody really noticing and actually quite more often than I think you realize, does the thing that they say we’ll never do. The thing that, you know, we’re mean and horrible and how dare us. we actually take the high road. That’s something that Vance did the other day. We’ll see what comes of that down the line, and we’ll see how much this new pope actually acts like a politician and not just a religious leader. That’s yet to be determined. I think some people are worried there’s going to be a lot of it as far as politics go, and maybe there will be, but we’ll see. All right, but we’ll take a break. A lot coming up.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 28 :
That’s right. It’s time for a quick five on the Dana Show. D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X on Twitter to stay connected to her. My name is Craig Collins filling in. The first one is audio that went viral. It’s from a dad. He’s talking about what he does for his wife all the time, even Mother’s Day, in order to get her a coffee that’s completely full and exactly what she wants, but also a gift for himself. Here we go.
SPEAKER 15 :
What are you doing? I’m buying your mother coffee. Dad, give me ice. Take the ice. Don’t worry about it. Look, I want to teach you something. You order a coffee, no ice, right? Five bucks. What do you do with the rest? What do you mean what I do? Look, it’s overflowing. I got two coffees. Your mother’s happy. I’m happy. He puts the ice in two different cups.
SPEAKER 28 :
He then pours the one hot coffee into two iced coffees, makes two out of one, and everybody’s happy. I love this. He’s been compared to characters on The Sopranos because of his New York accent and whatnot. But there’s just something so great about, look at this, I’m happy, she’s happy, we’re all happy. She doesn’t need to know that I didn’t pay for two iced coffees. I just bought one regular one, and I did it myself. It’s great. By the way, Mother’s Day spending is going to be up, according to some. The National Retail Federation says that $34.1 billion… is likely to be spent on Mother’s Day. This is up from $33.5 billion last year, so just a little tick up. Here’s the funny part, though. In some of the news headlines that put this out there, they also offer you the cheapest stuff you can get for Mother’s Day. It feels almost similar to the way that people approach Father’s Day. And they’re like, you know, you really don’t have to get anything nice for dad. If you want to go cheap for Ma this year, you can get her flowers, dinner, a hug, maybe help her out somehow to get a nap in during the day. These are things that are actually recommended on this. None of them cost you anything. I love hugs and naps as part of the gift to anybody because you think it’s not nice, but then actually it’s pretty great. So they’re good, but if you can, you probably also should get her something a little bit nice beyond just the hug and the available nap. But I do love that story. And then one other one. I saw this out there, too. Interesting story. A new study says you should not pass your old car down to your teenage children. The reason for this is that it’s inherently more dangerous. Kids are not good drivers. Kids are not risk adverse as drivers and having, you know, unreliable older cars without the safety features of newer vehicles. is not a good thing. So if you can’t afford to go another road, do not give your child the old car. I can speak from experience when I say teenagers plus cheap cars do sometimes make mistakes. This does make sense to me too. All right, quick break. A lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

SPEAKER 28 :
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. DLash, DanaLashRadio and X on Twitter to stay connected to all things Dana and the show. And there’s a whole lot going on in social media that you connect with on First TV, everywhere. She’s a lot of places, very successful. All right, let’s get right into it. Pope Leo is from Chicago. This is something, and I lived in that city for many, many years. That is something that people in Chicago were very proud of. There’s a debate as to whether he’s a Cubs fan or a White Sox fan. I think the final update is that he’s a White Sox fan. That’s all secondary to what he’s going to do as far as or maybe not even maybe it’s deeper on that list than secondary of what he’s going to do within the position of being the new pope. Pope Leo XIV. His brother was tracked down by news media. I think first locally WGN in Chicago did it. And then CNN and everybody else jumped on the bandwagon. The interviews are outside the guy’s house, which has to be great. But one of the pieces of audio that went viral is Pope Leo’s brother talking about the new Pope’s position on immigration, something that Pope Leo has not been shy to share himself via social media. But here we go.
SPEAKER 06 :
I think he sees the United States is headed in the wrong direction in terms of immigration. That this is a total injustice. I don’t know how he would handle that. It’s a very difficult situation because you’re going to offend someone one way or the other.
SPEAKER 28 :
Yeah, it doesn’t seem like he’s challenging how he’s going to handle it from his brother’s perspective. I don’t know why he’d even say it that way. But Pope Leo does seem like he’s going to condemn the immigration decisions of the United States. Here’s what’s interesting to me about that. And there’s a lot of things that are. First and foremost, and I’ve said this before, just in setting the table on this conversation, the other countries of the world, countries that Pope Leo will not say he opposes, do very similar things. Most countries in Europe don’t even have the ability for someone born on their soil to claim to be a citizen. Birthright citizenship is not a thing in other places. And that’s one of the reasons we have such an immigration problem in this country is that people believe if you can get here and then you can have kids here, the kids can stay. And that’s something that people do for several reasons. The anchor child, as you’ve heard before, if that went away, which Trump is trying to make it go away, if those things go away, though, immigration would change. And we’re already seeing a tremendously different border than we saw during Biden’s term in office. And that’s what’s so interesting to me. That’s what’s so important about some of these discussions. The way that people in places of power, whether it be the Pope or anyone else, choose to have positions about things that are in the public conscious and then not talk about the other stuff going on other places. But the United States’ new approach to, I don’t know if you call it new, but the approach that Trump has wanted to take and did take the first time he was in office, but different from the Democratic approach, is to be more like European countries that, again, the Catholic Church has no problem with. So that’s interesting to me. But beyond that, too, I think just trying to politicize these things, this is the best way to say it. I’m a Catholic, I’m a person of faith, so I want that to be at the forefront of what I’m about to say. I don’t look to certain places for certain information. And I think that most of us do this. And what I mean by that, and I’m not telling you just shut up and dribble, do whatever you want if you’re a famous athlete, but I don’t turn on ESPN for their update on you name the sports athlete to hear about what he thinks of Donald Trump. That’s not where I get that information. I also don’t look to my faith to tell me political things. That’s not a discussion that I’m trying to get from over there. There are some things that cross paths where they are essentially both, but this would not be one of them for me. So I don’t look that direction. So if the Pope has a position on things that I think are inherently political and not about my faith or my belief in certain things… I will let it go in one ear and out the other. I’m not saying that I’m disrespecting the person in charge of the religion that I actually follow. I’m just saying that’s not where I look for that information. There are things that I want to hear from people in charge, but it’s not those. And so I don’t pay attention to that. And I imagine a lot of people are the same way, by the way. I’m saying all of this to try to put out there that I could have a hot take. I could be anti the new pope. I could be pro the new pope. And to me, and again, this comes from being actually a Catholic, someone who is involved in this to some degree, whatever you want to call it. I don’t have that position. I know that even in the industry that I work in, I’m probably supposed to like have a hot take one way or the other. I just don’t have it because and I think, again, most people will understand and agree with this. I can tune stuff out if it’s not stuff that I’m looking for from people in positions of power of certain things. or athletes or whatever. That’s how I can still watch the NBA. I enjoy the playoffs in the National Basketball Association nowhere near as much as I used to because there is politics that just sort of gets seeped all over you. But I can tune it out enough to enjoy the games and be amazed that the Celtics can fall apart twice in a row to the Knicks and have 20-point leads disappear in the fourth quarter. That’s stuff I can still be entertained by, and I think a lot of us can do that. Anyway, let me have a hot take on some other stuff. I’m going to move on. I do think this is hilarious. And this actually does make me much madder than discussing stuff about religious leaders. This is Bernie Sanders. He was recently on Fox. He answered a question about flying private and why that’s not against a lot of his stances he’s had in the past about climate change and how everybody’s got to do their part. And so somebody, the brilliance of the Internet and wokeness actually is the place on Twitter. You can follow this is the place on X. I’ll put up a side by side of Bernie Sanders telling everyone who spends money and does terrible things that he thinks hurts the climate to stop what you’re doing. And then also defending himself for flying private to do a bunch of rallies around the country.
SPEAKER 07 :
Here we go. What we’re doing now is speaking to the American people and saying you have got to be involved in this process, because if you are not. The planet that we’re going to leave to our kids and our grandchildren will be significantly less habitable. Five rallies in a week. The only way you can get around to 30,000 people. They’re going to be sitting on a waiting line at United waiting, you know, what, 30,000 people are waiting. That’s the only way you can get around. No apologies for that. That’s what campaign travel is about. We’ve done it.
SPEAKER 28 :
That is what it’s all about. What, you want me to stand in line like a regular person? Go through the TSA and whatnot and sit on the plane with people I don’t know? How dare you, sir? Talk about the elitist nature of this stuff. That’s amazing to me. And I actually think there are people like Bernie Sanders, I believe this, and maybe I shouldn’t, it might be more naive, that don’t even realize now how elite they are. They don’t even actually notice. Because if they did, they wouldn’t be capable of saying this. The way that he wouldn’t be indignant as he responds to why you fly private with how dare you. It’s the only way to get around. That’s a level of elite where you’ve just forgotten how other people live their life. You just you don’t even remember because it’s been so long for you. And it’s it’s terrifying to me that these people are social justice warriors. that they stand up on the podium and yell certain things and tell you to hate the other side of the political aisle or hate the people who voted Trump into positions of power and that they’re the everyman. You know, they’re the one that’s telling everybody to fight against climate change. And they’re this deep into their own elite crap life that they don’t at all understand your issues, your challenges anymore, that they can say this stuff and just move on. Of course, Bernie, just so you know, you could get around the country just fine flying on regular planes where you’re sitting in coach seats. You could still make it from one location to another. And yes, you could still wait in line. And oh, by the way, you know, to save people money and stuff, taxpayers and whatnot, if you’re actually making us pay for some of this stuff, which I’m sure other ways in which they are, you could also maybe extend your tour dates out a little bit. Maybe have one date a day later than you intended to have it because you’re not going to get to fly private every single place you go. But you can get around just using actual planes and dealing with that actual life. Talk to the tons and tons of business people who do this every single day on regular commercial vehicles who do not fly private. It is not the only way to get around, you elite son of a… I can’t say the other thing. I want to. But it’s just insane. Because one more time, And I have one more piece of audio to play to kind of ram this message home. It’s from the mayor in Chicago, Brandon Johnson. But it’s just amazing to me that and I blame the politicians. I don’t want to blame the voters, even though I make fun of the voters who defend these things the way they do. But I blame the politicians for trying to convince you and you believing it. That these are the same people as you. That these individuals have the same challenges you have. And they live the same life you live. And when they tell you to do certain things, you actually think, whoever votes for that side of the aisle, that they’re saying it to themselves as well. When they actually would never even bother to think it. that they would have to follow the same advice. It’s the Nancy Pelosi telling you you got to stay home during COVID while she goes out to the salon and gets her haircut and then is mad that someone caught her. Not mad that she did it, mad that someone set her up and caught her to do that because they’re always going to live their life as if they’re much better than you, much more important, more special, you know, more valuable than you are. And that’s the one part of the narrative that that’s so amazing that it’s missed by so many people who vote on that side. Because there’s so many individuals, you probably know them, who will tell you how, you know, good it is to be a Democrat or fight the fight or all the crap they say, who actually support these individuals who live these elaborate lives off of your own money. All right, let’s play one more. I know I’m preaching to the choir and what I’m saying to you today. I just can’t help it how ridiculous that narrative is out there to be seen if you look But this is Mayor Brandon Johnson in Chicago doing an interview on a local radio station there talking about how gentrification is something that he’s going to use policy to prevent, which is amazing to hear that said. Gentrification is simply the improvement of places because wealth and money come into certain areas and that makes them safer and better. He’s going to fight it. He’s going to do everything with policy to prevent it, which is probably why Chicago more and more, at least certain parts of it, feel like they’re utterly forgotten by society and they have crazy amounts of violence and all these other things going on. because you have people in positions of power trying to create policy that keep those places from improving, which is insane.
SPEAKER 26 :
Here we go. This could be the purchase of land, go through the process. Six developers, five of which are black, three are women. We are moving in the right direction, and we’re going to continue to move aggressively. with development, particularly for housing, and making it affordable. I promise, the last, last thing, green social housing is another initiative that we’re putting forward to create essentially a government nonprofit entity that allows for a revolving loan to continue to build more affordable units, and then to make sure that that affordability remains in place. Because what happens is you build property, you build homes, and then, of course, natural accrue and gentrification takes place. This is a way to stave off gentrification.
SPEAKER 28 :
We’re going to stop it. We’re going to keep the lives of the people who are paying for affordable housing terrible and not have improvements happen in those areas. So they’re more attractive to people and rent and stuff goes up in those places. We want your life to remain poor. We want your life to remain challenged because, again, we’re elite and you’re not. That’s actually what he’s saying. He’s disguising it as we’re going to make sure you never have to pay more money than you can afford to pay when he could also be saying we’re going to make sure you stay at a completely different social economic level than the rest of us. And we’re very happy about that. We keep you down there. We stay up here. How is that not actually what makes woke people mad? This is the stuff that should make woke people upset, and yet it doesn’t. Somehow they miss these narratives. All right, quick break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.
SPEAKER 23 :
It’s Home Title Lock. And Home Title Lock, look, your house is your biggest asset. And in today’s world, unfortunately, with AI and how digital everything makes it easy, scammers can steal your home’s title. And your equity is the target. They’ll forge your signature on a document. They’ll use a fake notary stamp. They’ll pay a fee with your county. And before you know it, your home title has been transferred out of your name. It only takes one forged signature. You’re not even going to know that it happened. There’s not going to be any warning or notification. In fact, the only time… you will be made aware is when you start getting foreclosure notices, collection calls. Sometimes people even have their properties sold out right from underneath them. And in order to stop it or to save yourself or to try to claim your property back, you have to hire a lawyer and it gets super, super expensive real fast. You need to be proactive and make sure that you have home title lock. Particularly, you need to get the million dollar triple lock protection. And that means that they’re going to have 24-7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts to any changes. And if fraud should happen, they’re going to spend up to a million dollars to fix it. Now is the time to lock down your title. Protect your most valuable asset before someone else claims it. Use promo code Dana at HomeTitleLock.com and make sure your title first, make sure it’s still in your name. And then you’ll get a free title history report and then a free 14 day trial of their million dollar triple lock protection. They’ll monitor it and they’ll send any kind of urgent alert if they detect anything. And again, spend up to a million dollars to fix it. Go to HomeTitleLock.com and use promo code Dana.

SPEAKER 28 :
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Dean Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X on Twitter are great ways to stay connected to her. A couple things that I love that are also out there. A sexy influencer. That’s how she’s being described, at least in the New York Post and some other places. Decided to bring a giant Great Dane on a flight recently. The Great Dane was claimed to be a service animal. A 175-pound dog is much more than your typical service animal. But anyway, she showed up for the flight. She had all the paperwork. They let the dog aboard the plane. Here’s what’s funny about it to me. On her post, she’s the one who put something up on social media. Pietra Lucas is the woman’s name, and she is rather attractive. But in her post, many of the people who watched the video crapped all over it. They complained the way any of us would if you saw someone board the plane with a 175-pound dog. Things like, this is ridiculous, the arrogance, elite behavior of this woman. But here’s what I thought was really funny. If you watch the video, the people on the plane don’t seem as mad. And the reason why, and I think this is probably a thing that I’ve joked about before, the good-looking treatment versus the you’re-not-so-good-looking treatment in society. Most of the people that you see in the video are dudes, and they’re smiling at this lady as she’s walking a 175-pound dog in a flight. So it seems like the people on the plane at least accepted it. Also in the video, you hear that someone talked to all the passengers before this woman even joined the flight to let them know it was going to happen. And I feel like that above and beyond service only happens if you’re a certain type of person. If you look a certain way, I think the pilots go out of their way to make sure everybody’s cool with something. But again, the woman who is casually described as a smoke show several times in this article says, got her dog on the flight and everyone on the Internet’s mad. Everyone on the plane, though, seems like they just accepted it because, again, good looking people get treated a certain way. All right. Other things that I find that so interesting, so amusing, though, and I’m not telling you to do it either. I just I imagine if you’re sitting there and a lovely woman comes on a flight with a giant dog, if you’re like, all right, this is fine. Some might react that way, too. All right. Another story I saw out there that I thought was crazy. A mother in Sweden was convicted of harassment. She was ordered to pay $2,000 to her daughter, who is a little girl, because of a crack and egg prank that happened on TikTok and social media. This happened, as I said, in Sweden. It wasn’t the little girl who did all the lawyering because she’s too little to do that. It was someone who saw the video online and took it to a Swedish court with a lawyer who was definitely down to go this road. So in the courtroom, I guess the lawyer convinced the judge in a crazy place like in Sweden that $2,000 is the deserved punishment for the crime of cracking an egg on your daughter’s head when she doesn’t know what’s happening. They described it as a cruel, reckless act. in which you’re humiliating a child and broadcasting it to thousands of people. Again, the girl was not upset and too little to do any of this. Here’s the part that’s really interesting to me, though. I don’t think that a $2,000 fine is remotely correct. I think the courtroom can stay out of your life more than they should here or more than they did here. What I do think is interesting is the amount of people who use their kids for social media content and probably regret that. As the kids grow up and aren’t so thrilled, they went viral for whatever reason. We’ll talk about that later. Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

SPEAKER 28 :
This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you for the day. Dana is back after the weekend. Find her on X on Twitter at DLash, DLash Radio, or all over the place. Other social media pages, television, whatever you want. All right, let’s move on to some things out there in the world. I want to play this first. This is probably the most boring of the pieces of audio, not exactly setting it up well, but I think it’s tremendously important to a lot of the other audio that’s out there, a lot of the other things that happened on television over the last 24 hours. Steve Witkoff is the United States Special Envoy to the Middle East. He did an interview. Again, I’m probably not selling this as much as I should, in which he talked about the difference between Trump as president and other people in that role and talked about why the president of the United States believes that his personality or certain ways that he behaves is can get more done then say anyone else and he doesn’t have to go the road of a typical politics over here over there however it is up here I’ll let him say it first and it it’s really a setup to a lot of the other things I want to play but I absolutely agree with this absolutely believe this to be true and the uniqueness of President Trump or or Donald Trump the person in a position of power like being our president Has so many different advantages that people absolutely ignore because they hate him so much. But here, here’s Witkoff first saying the thing that I absolutely think is true.
SPEAKER 01 :
You’re right. The neocon element believes that war is the only way to solve things. And the president believes that his force of personality. The way he is going to respond to situations can bend people to do things in a much better way in the interest of the United States government. And I believe in that, too.
SPEAKER 28 :
I absolutely believe in that as well. And it’s not just the unpredictability of President Trump potentially being willing to say, take action. If you don’t do things the way he wants, there are countries throughout this world that would be more afraid of Trump with the might of the U.S. military than anyone else. And I think that’s for good reason. Not that we’ve actually seen that play out a whole lot. I know the left fear mongers about it, but the belief that he could take some sort of action is something that you definitely didn’t believe in Biden. He was a paper tiger, which made me mad. And there are so many other moments where Trump’s personality is used in such an effective way. I will demonstrate one here.
SPEAKER 12 :
And when they took over Buttigieg, who has no clue, you know, he drives to work on his bicycle with his, in all fairness, with his husband on the back, which is a nice, loving relationship. But he didn’t have a clue. This guy didn’t have a clue. And he’s actually a contender for president. Between him and Crockett, you can have that party.
SPEAKER 28 :
Between him and Jasmine Crockett, you can have that party. It’s so great. The way Trump talks, the way that he behaves, and he does this in front of cameras for the American people. He does this, I would believe, in front of other world leaders. He doesn’t change who he is. It doesn’t matter what room he’s in. The same version of him, to some extent, is seen. I’m sure there’s a bunch of more effective ways he goes about communicating than, say, when he’s off the cuff to the American people. But nonetheless, there’s something powerful about that, about not having to speak in these weird versions of… you know, I’m doing political talk and you know it and I know it and we’re all saying things that we know we have no intention of doing and we’re essentially having a conversation that’s meaningless. This happens all the time, I imagine, between world leaders and just in general politicians to the public. Trump is immune to that. It does feel as though any conversation he’s in, it won’t be meaningless. And honestly, media will attack anything they can that they think he says, even if they know he didn’t actually say it the way they wanted him to. But I digress. And now let’s actually demonstrate the accuracy of these statements. And I love the way that this happened on social media. I love the way that Scott Jennings specifically, who is the only Republican talking head on CNN a lot of the time, but I love the way that he responded to it. The United States and the UK did come up with a trade deal. This is something that Trump is very proud of, a full and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come. That’s how Trump described the agreement on Truth Social, on social media. But what I love about it is Scott Jennings said just two days ago on CNN, he was told it would never happen. He was told that absolutely the powers that be in other countries would stand against Trump and all his terribleness. But somehow, some way, that personality, that force of nature, got a deal done in 48 hours.
SPEAKER 19 :
Two headlines that caught my attention. China says it’s tearing down walls to expand trade alliances amid U.S. standoffs. So they’re making deals with other countries to try to protect themselves. And then also India and the U.K. striking China. a trade deal. So everybody’s dealing, wheeling and dealing with each other, trying to protect themselves from an over-reliance on the U.S. as a market.
SPEAKER 27 :
Nobody’s doing it with the U.S. And we are doing what? Well, you played it. Scott Besson today under oath said we’re currently negotiating with 16 of the 17 most important countries. And he’ll be meeting with the Chinese this weekend when they all converge in Switzerland. I think dealing with, I’m sorry, with all due respect to all these other countries making deals, they’re small and relatively unimportant. We’re the big player in the field and everybody knows it. And people would rather do business with us than do business with China because of what Jim just said. They have all these strategies to inflict pain upon you if you don’t bend to their will or allow them to break the rules. And so I think when you’re dealing with the United States, It’s going to take a little bit of time to work out the best deal for us and the best deal for them. But I have a lot of confidence that when push comes to shove and people get right down to it, an alliance, a trading partnership, business dealings with the United States is a heck of a lot better than being reliant on the Chinese because they have seen what they have done to us and everybody else in the world.
SPEAKER 28 :
Yes, they absolutely will take advantage of you and they won’t change the way they behave. But I love that because the follow-up to that whole statement was, you’re wrong, Jennings. There’s no way the U.S. is going to get these deals done. Two days later, we got a deal done with the U.K. And I’m sure there will be more. But again, I guess go back to it or to put a button on this whole discussion and the way that you’re talking about at the beginning. If you’re Witkoff or anyone else in a position of power helping the United States negotiate around the world, The wild card that is Donald Trump is tremendously valuable. It just is. I think in any negotiation of any kind, and the things that President Trump actually does, taking action in the tariff world and potentially causing some short-term struggle, in our economy, which we haven’t seen as much as we should, and we absolutely should have lowered our borrowing rates, and we didn’t, which is just ridiculous. China definitely did that quite a few times to try to prop up their struggling economy without being able to send so many things over to us right now. But the wild card that is Trump will always play. It will always be valuable. It will always be like, well, if you don’t do this this way, this person who actually is willing to take action might do it. That’s so much stronger than someone who wags their finger and says, don’t show up at the border or don’t do this, don’t do that. Russia, don’t invade Ukraine. And then we see the exact thing happen. And I absolutely believe, again, that that’s the most important part And you can go story by story and find where that element, even if you hate Trump, even if you think that he’s the worst guy ever in the history of the world, as some people seem to want to, no matter what he does. But even as you feel those things and think those things, what’s most amazing to me about this discussion is how valuable that version of a leader is compared to anybody else. And we see it again and again. And so I just think it’s amazing how willfully people ignore that in the world of everyday news media in order to keep going after having Trump derangement syndrome on a daily basis. One other thing I found very interesting that’s out there. And granted, I think Cuomo, Chris Cuomo, who’s a weird guy to play audio from, in all honesty, and he did this a couple days ago on News Nation, he’s all of a sudden this, you know, like, reformed Democrat who says things against the Democratic Party now that he’s supposed to be on a middle-of-the-road platform. And sometimes I find them hilarious because it’s hard to go that far back and look at all the other things Cuomo said and then take him seriously now. But I digress. He did this a couple days ago, and I probably won’t even play the audio, where he talked about how the left is now going after John Fetterman. And it’s amazing to me to just think of that timeline. Just rewind for a minute, think about when Fetterman first is running for office, how a whole lot of conservatives are certainly… saying things about Fetterman, certainly not being friendly to him, mostly because it seemed like after the stroke, he wasn’t in a place health-wise where he should be in a government position. That did seem to be true. So you can say that that’s genuine concern or false concern, I don’t care, but that felt like more the reason for the attack then. Now that Fetterman is becoming a person who says some things that are publicly against the Democratic Party, they’re trying to destroy him using the same narrative That’s what’s amazing to me, saying his brain might be broken or he might not be, you know, all there and they’re worried about him now. It’s it’s incredible to watch because Democrats are up in arms when conservatives do it. And they say how wrong and terrible and, you know, anti-human or whatever they want to call it, that it is. or you’re just hateful. And then as soon as they need to do it, because the guy is saying too many things that are harming the crazy radical positions of your party, they do the exact same move. They try to feed them to the wolves the same way. It’s almost like they’re begging the right to attack Fetterman by using their own attacks, and we don’t care anymore. Because in all honesty, Fetterman is starting to say some things that you can’t entirely disagree with. He still says a lot of things I do disagree with, but occasionally he’ll say some things that don’t seem so bad. And again, there’s reports that John Fetterman is off his meds or he’s doing this, he’s doing that. It’s just amazing to look at the timeline and think about how years ago, just a few years ago, Republicans were saying negative things and Democrats were up in arms and now they’re the ones attacking their own. It happens all the time. That movie repeats itself constantly. All right, we’ll take a break. A lot coming up. This is Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.
SPEAKER 23 :
I’m always going to carry. I have no problem using lethal force. And I highly encourage you to familiarize yourself with firearms. I also understand that diversifying your weapons array is incredibly important. And it’s incredibly important because sometimes you’re barred from carrying, right? Sometimes you’re not able to actually carry everywhere that you need to. Maybe you live in D.C. like one of my friends. Maybe you live in New York like another friend of mine. This is where Burna comes in. So Burna guns shoot chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. Now they got… carbines they got all kinds of stuff the one that i would recommend you actually the two for this particular purpose you know the burna sd they just launched the burna cl that’s called the comp cl for compact launcher it is the size of my 43x or if you don’t have a 43x it’s about the length of a cell phone right and uh it’s been reimagined for more compact uh conceal ability and also retaining that that same deterrent effect. And again, chemical air tempered projectiles, those threats, they can disable threats from 50 feet away, easy target acquisition, no recoil. And it’s about diversifying what you have in terms of weaponry. You carry blades, you have different calibers. I mean, this makes sense. Also, I also think it’s a great idea for I know it’s Mother’s Day weekend. And this is a great Mother’s Day idea. But I also think it’s a great idea for college kids to that are too young for handguns, but yet they’re living out on their own, you definitely should check out the Burna CL or the Burna SD for them. And they have all kinds of stuff, different projectiles, different accessories at Burna.com slash Dana. So check out that new Burna CL, B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Dana. If you order by May 11th, you get a free package of projectiles, $49.99 value with your purchase. Burna.com slash Dana.
SPEAKER 11 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 28 :
That’s right. This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X to stay connected with all things Dana Lash and her show, The Dana Show. Let’s do this first as far as Quick Five stories go. The world will have its first mass-produced flying vehicle. 500 successful flights of a Slovakian created car that actually has these wings that pop out of the sides. They kind of like come up like almost, you know, those high rising doors on certain vehicles. I keep thinking about the time machine and back to the future. But anyway, they then kind of disappear on the sides of the vehicle so you can drive the car. But then they get pushed out, extended out so you can fly it like a plane. There are moments in society where no matter how much I want this thing. And it says it has like a 250 horsepower engine in it. I probably shouldn’t have it. And we probably as people shouldn’t buy flying cars like this because it seems like it’ll be horrible for all of us. If you can’t put down your cell phone to drive a regular vehicle, I imagine flying a vehicle into the sky will make things even worse for us. But it is there. It will exist. It will be incredibly expensive. It won’t be on the road very much in the next few years. But a mass produced flying car has been created. And again, my immediate reaction was I want one. I want one real, real bad. All right. Other things out there. U.S. life expectancy studies show Southerners barely living any longer than those born in the 1900s. So there is a difference in the life expectancy depending on where in the United States you live. West Coast residents gained decades of life over the last century, especially women who live on the West Coast and the rest of us are not doing so great, especially again in the South. There’s a bunch of reasons for this, they say, many of them just simple diet related. One of the things that I think is really interesting, though, and I couldn’t get over it, is the idea that you have less stress because the people around you agree with you. If you live on the West Coast, especially as a woman, you might be in circles of people who have similar political feelings that you do and other things and just not arguing or getting mad as often as maybe someone does who has more discussions with other people although there is a lot of uniform thinking in other parts of the country i’m not trying to say there aren’t but part of me wonders if maybe that’s uniquely beneficial for the side that seems to be outraged much more often than the political side of the aisle that would live in a whole lot of the rest of the country i’m not sure but that that seems to be a benefit also and i live in texas now i I like steak, and I’m not giving it up. No matter what you tell me about how bad it is for my health, I’m not going to do it, and I really don’t care. All right, other things out there as far as Quick Five go. A half-ton spacecraft lost by the Soviets in 1972 is coming home. We don’t know where it’s going to land, but this spacecraft is going to crash land on Earth at some point in the very near future. That’s just an odd story to see. And to think about that we fire these things up there. Comos 482, it was headed to Venus. It’s expected to reenter Earth’s atmosphere this weekend. We’re, again, not exactly sure, although we think it won’t be harmful where it’s going to land, at least for now. That’s good news, bad news. as far as the situation goes. But again, they do believe it will actually survive reentry, which is something a lot of spacecrafts no longer are supposed to do. But we will see how that goes, and then we will compare it to SpaceX and how much better Elon Musk is at having stuff return safely after firing it up into space than back in the 70s when we were just flinging stuff up there, especially the Russians were just flinging stuff up there and then hoping for the best years later, which is what it looks like is happening here. Everyone is cheating in college, according to a brand new study. Chat GPT or other AI is being used. AI is being told to not seem like AI so that a teacher using a detector of some kind will fail. That’s another thing that’s weird that’s out there. You can tell the AI to write a paper more like a human would and even purposefully make a few mistakes so that you don’t even have to rewrite it. But everyone is cheating is what they’re saying now. When the… Discussion about the value of a college education and the potential indoctrination to believe certain things from these elite universities exists out there. It’s really interesting to see that people are also cheating their way through probably something they’ve done before in order to get that piece of paper that claims that you’re more qualified for a job than you actually are. And then you start out knowing even less, it seems, than the guy who’s been working for five or six years and is slowly progressing his way up the ladder. It’s just interesting to see that now most people in that world, and I have a college education, are just cheating their way through it, baby. Because why does it matter? I just need the piece of paper. That’s all I’m looking for. All right, quick break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

SPEAKER 28 :
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. Let’s do this first, though. Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt talking about the historic trade deal made between the United States and the UK just earlier yesterday, I think, or late yesterday, early today being announced. A big deal because, again, a lot of people said this wasn’t going to happen because all of these countries were going to hold out and not work with the evil Trump. that they hate, who’s fighting them in ways that we never should fight our allies, et cetera, et cetera. Here we go.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yesterday… President Trump demonstrated the art of the deal and secured a historic trade agreement despite all of the naysayers who said no deals were coming. That, of course, turned out to be untrue. On the 80th anniversary of Victory Day for World War II, President Trump announced a great deal that provides American companies unprecedented access to the UK markets while bolstering US national security. This trade deal will massively expand U.S. market access in the United Kingdom, creating a $5 billion opportunity for new exports for U.S. farmers, ranchers, and producers.
SPEAKER 21 :
That sounds awesome.
SPEAKER 20 :
This includes more than $700 billion in ethanol exports and $250 million in other agricultural products like good old American beef.
SPEAKER 28 :
You know what’s crazy about this? As these announcements go out there, there are people in a lot of places in legacy media that are just trying to find a way to hate it. They’re not listening. It’s sort of like if you have a conversation with somebody and you know they’re just waiting to talk. It doesn’t matter what you say. They’re just going to say other stuff as soon as you stop talking. And they don’t even care what words are coming out of your mouth because they’re looking around and they’re waiting for the noise that they’re not paying attention to to just be silent for a moment so they can yell stuff at you. That’s how most news media reacts to President Trump and the things he does. They say, no way, he can’t do it. It’ll never happen. It does happen. And now it’s going to be terrible somehow. I just imagine they’ll talk about it ad nauseum that way. But I love this because, yeah, this deal seems great on its surface. It seems that we pushed one of our allies. to do more for us because we do a whole lot for them, and they gave in because they believed us when we told them that we weren’t going to play nice if they weren’t going to play nice back. All of that is important. All of that matters. Just one of a few things that Levitt said today. I’ll get to a little bit more of that in a second. Also, former President Joe Biden has made a media tour. I do wonder sometimes, in order for him to be articulate enough in some of these clips, how many certain drugs they’re shooting him up with just before he walks onto a stage, because you feel like we saw a different version of this man a lot, and now maybe without the pressure of the office, plus whatever narcotics they have available to them, he does okay in a few sit-downs for a couple hours. Honestly, I think the Democratic Party wishes this is the way he was behaving while he was the president. Not that, again, it would have, I think, defeated President Trump. He was doing terrible things with our economy and our society and the world while also being incapable of speaking. But at least now part of that seems to have gone away. And the stuff he’s saying, not exactly any more intelligent, just at least stuff I understand. Here is what Biden said about why Harris lost the election. Which is amazing. And this has gone viral since the interview yesterday in which he said this.
SPEAKER 03 :
And it was like 2016 all over again. So why do you think the vice president lost? And were you surprised?
SPEAKER 16 :
I wasn’t surprised, not because I didn’t think the vice president was the most qualified person to be president. She is. She’s qualified to be president of the United States. She is not.
SPEAKER 28 :
Sorry, continue.
SPEAKER 16 :
But I was surprised. I wasn’t surprised because they went the route of the sexist route all over. Oh, my God. This is a woman. She’s this. She’s that. Really, I’ve never seen quite as successful and a consistent campaign undercutting the notion that a woman couldn’t lead the country and a woman of mixed race.
SPEAKER 28 :
You know what’s amazing about this? The first thing I want to say is that the premise of that statement, me, you, whoever is out there that’s a voter that didn’t vote for Harris, that voted for the evil, horrible Donald Trump. We did it because we hate women, or we hate people of certain races. It can’t possibly be that I’m intelligent enough to compare the two messages, to want an improved economy, want savings within the federal government, which Doge did a great job of so far, but I’d love to see a lot more done. I can’t want any of those policies. I have to just in my brain be like, no, I can never let a woman or someone of color be our president, even though Barack Obama was president for eight years in this country. I can’t let that happen is what they think I’m yelling in my mind. And so I go out and I vote for anybody. It wouldn’t even have to have been Trump. I could have voted for anyone just to prevent Harris from winning. That’s insane. And there’s so much of that insanity that exists out there. And so I resisted doing this earlier. I’m going to do it now. This is a super cut of things that Harris said during her short tenure as a candidate for president, one in which she didn’t even win a nomination. She didn’t go through a primary process in order to be selected by her own party. That didn’t happen. The voters didn’t get a chance to choose because, darn it, a whole lot of people knew that Harris wouldn’t do well debating other Democratic politicians because of this speaking in circles thing that became the true narrative and the true thing that everyone was consuming on social media. I have friends that vote Democratic. I lived in Chicago for years. I’ve lived in other big cities. I have people that don’t agree with me politically that I somehow still talk to. And one of my favorite things is the amount of those individuals During the political campaign that were sending me crazy, broken videos of Harris being like, man, how do I vote for this? This is this is terrible or this makes no sense. How do I punch this ticket? And it had nothing to do with whether or not she was a man or a woman or what race she was. These were even women that would say this sort of stuff, not just dudes. So I again love that that it had to be sexist. It couldn’t have been this.
SPEAKER 10 :
Dick Cheney and Satan. That’s next. The Sith Lord is back.
SPEAKER 05 :
Like a demon, it rises again. Dick Cheney, Darth Vader, Satan. Thank you, Cheney.
SPEAKER 28 :
Hold on, hold on. I hit play on the wrong piece of audio, but I do love this audio. I think Kamala Harris is in that audio calling Dick Cheney the Dark Lord as he said that he was going to endorse Donald Trump. That is not the supercut I meant to play, but that is a supercut that I enjoy quite a bit. So let’s get to a different one, a one where Harris just speaks in circles and loops and craziness, because that’s what she did all the time. And you remember it and I remember it. And this is why she failed to be the next president of the United States, not because she’s a woman or a person of color. And Dick Cheney, also the Dark Lord, did go ahead and endorse Trump. I love that I had that. All right, here we go.
SPEAKER 22 :
It is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day. We must together work together to see where we are, where we are headed, where we are going, and our vision for where we should be. Because we have the ability to see what can be. Oh, yeah. Unburdened by what has been. That’s right. And then to make the possible actually happen. To see what is possible, to see what can be. unburdened by what has been to reject the notion that the way things have always been has to be the way things will continue to be i have a motto what i drink i eat and drink no for breakfast i eat no for breakfast i eat no for breakfast there is no vaccine for racism the climate crisis represents an existential threat to who we are as a species talking about the significance of the passage of time oh it’s one of my favorites Right. The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.
SPEAKER 28 :
OK, I got to stop. This is why she lost. This is why she wouldn’t have even won a primary. You know it. I know it. They know it. But they need to, you know, mobilize the troops to convince you that something horrible and nefarious happened because the right is a bunch of just terrible people. That’s the only way they can process this. So instead, Biden goes on television and says the reason they lost, even though he actually absolutely fought and tried not to let her be the candidate himself. He wanted to stay in that gig, as we all know, and even did interviews right up until he stepped down where he said he was defiantly not stepping down. And then Nancy Pelosi pushed him into the corner and didn’t let him run for president, which is crazy. But nonetheless, as all this is going on, we know the real reason she wasn’t a good candidate. And I’ll say this, not because I think she actually would have beaten Donald Trump, but she would have performed better than Harris. Michelle Obama was the true Democratic candidate that people wanted, that I think voters and the Democratic machine wanted, at least on that side of the aisle. Obviously, the right wouldn’t have wanted to see that. And what are the things that are… In common between Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris, they both happen to be women of race and women in general. And so it’s interesting to be told that a woman can’t win and, you know, someone of a certain race can’t win when there was a candidate out there that media was begging to run because they thought she was a shoo-in to win. Again, I don’t think she actually would have beaten Trump. I think those debates would have been interesting. But nonetheless, I do think that it was easy to find a candidate more significant, more, you know, potentially capable of winning than Harris. Harris was the forced candidate for a bunch of reasons. Most of those money. I should say that, too, by the way, before I move on. I believe the biggest reason the Democratic Party allowed Harris to truly be the candidate was not because they wanted her to be, but because legally she was the only individual who could take all of Biden’s donations since she was on the ticket with him and use them for her own campaign. If they had not done that, if they at the last minute, the last hour, given anyone else the chance to run other than Harris, that person would have had to raise funds differently and wouldn’t have been able to use a lot of the war chest that had already been created for the Biden campaign. But shifting that money over because she was the VP, and I think some people would argue that that actually was legally done, was something they did. That was the biggest reason. Money was truly it because I think Democrats knew she was not a good candidate and hadn’t been a good vice president for several years because as the light shined brighter on her, things that she said and did seemed crazier and crazier. One last thing, just incredibly amused by this. Tish James or Latita James, the attorney general out of New York, is in trouble. The FBI is investigating her for mortgage fraud and a bunch of other things. This is hilarious to anyone that watched her go after Trump as desperately as she tried to in New York and even get a civil case against him. mostly because if you build a jury of people in New York City, which overwhelmingly votes Democratic, the odds of having it be a fair trial where people can keep their politics out and decide if Trump is guilty or innocent of something, it seems almost impossible to build a New York City jury that could do that. But nonetheless, James herself is now facing issues. And a New Yorker showed up at a town hall and asked her a question. And this guy’s a legend. He deserves a free beer. Whoever finds him in the streets in the near future, invite this guy in for a beer and anything else you want because he’s awesome. Here’s his viral audio.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes, my question is for Tush James. Will you apologize to President Trump for wasting millions of dollars and the state of New York for a rich trial and has a feel to know that you will be imprisoned for mortgage fraud? How’s it feel? How’s it feel?
SPEAKER 28 :
How’s it feel, Tush? How’s it feel, Tush? I love how’s it feel, Tush. How’s it feel, Tush, as he keeps his camera on and walks out of this place and people are booing him because he’s a New Yorker. If you know anything about New Yorkers, booing does not make them weaker. It makes them stronger. We know all about this. We boo our own athletes and celebrities because we know that’s the best way to get them to do something a little bit better next time. I’m talking to you, Devin Williams. All right, quick break.

Could Luigi Mangione’s killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO lead to anarchy in America? Pastor Alan Jackson says yes.
SPEAKER 09 :

It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 28 :
That’s right. It’s time for Florida Man. This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Let’s get right to it. Naked, not afraid is the headline of this story out of Pine Island in Florida. A deputy said a man with a history of getting naked in public decided to, this is shocking, get naked in public. The guy loves to go skinny dipping, I guess. And that’s caused issues with local police. He was running naked through a Florida neighborhood when he was arrested. The guy who is 30 years old did not have a good answer for why he was not wearing any clothing. And several different ring or other doorbell cameras caught the dude running through the neighborhood without any clothes on. That’s the moment I’d regret the ring doorbell. You know, like that’s the moment that I would have wished that something had not popped up on my phone, notified me of commotion in front of my house, and then see a dude running past my home without any clothes on. That’s one as long as he didn’t try to break into my house where I could just let it not be a notification I have and a video that I accidentally have to see for any amount of seconds. I would again regret the doorbell at that moment and that moment only because there’s other times that I like the ability to know what’s going on at my house when I’m not there. But this dude, for whatever reason, just hates wearing clothes. And it seems to be a thing that Florida is not so happy with. I love that these stories happen as often as they do. To be honest, because because my brain goes to some weird places and one of the places it goes is like if this naked dude has any friends and you wonder if he does or if there’s mental health issues and what else is going on. But let’s say he’s got like one good buddy and the guy is talking to him at a bar after his latest arrest and maybe some time in jail just trying to convince this guy to stop getting naked in public. I just wonder how that conversation goes. Like, dude, I get it. You like that sort of thing. I know it’s very illegal and it’s very creepy. You should really stop doing it, bro. You got so much going on for you in your life. I don’t know if that’s true, but his friend would say it to him. The one thing holding you back is the fact that you strip naked and run around the neighborhood and the police are very aware of you. If you could just get over that hurdle, man, you’d be a full package. You’d be all there. All right, et cetera, et cetera. That’s where my brain goes, is the one friend trying to convince this person to live a better life that is obviously failing to do that. Another Florida story. A Florida man was accused of spitting on a police deputy. This is definitely a mistake that you shouldn’t make because this is actually no assault. The Florida man is behind bars after he was accused of this in Monroe County. Robert John Hermanson is the guy name guy’s name. He was found sleeping in a museum. and nature center at 3 a.m deputies walk up to the guy say there’s no signs of trespassing which is weird um and then tell him you’re not allowed to sleep here he gets upset he spits on somebody again that is actually a battery and assault is how that’s usually charged and you get in a whole lot of trouble for doing that to a police officer so a mistake you should not make after being caught sleeping inside a museum you should not be in in the first place. Certainly questions being asked about how the guy got in, if there were no signs of breaking and entering. Was something left open? Is he connected to the place? I don’t think that they have found any reason to believe that he is so far, but it is interesting. One last Florida story that I liked a lot. A nurse said that her wife was battered with cheesy nachos. A nurse has been accused of shoving cheesy nachos down the legging of another woman. So this is two women in a relationship together. I think that both might be nurses. But I guess in the police report, the way the description goes is that she grabbed a handful of cheesy nachos and shoved them down the back of my dress and my legs. The victim, as described in this story, is a registered nurse who, you know, went ahead and made a complaint. These are ones where sometimes I wish that common sense would have prevailed because the nacho attack that sends you to jail feels like the kind of thing that other people aren’t going to respect in the who’s gal. All right, quick break. A lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana show.

SPEAKER 28 :
This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be here with you. D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio to stay connected to everything going on with her and all the awesomeness that is this show and all the places you can get it. I want to show you something as best I can while on the radio. I want to show you the way a narrative is built. So CBS Mornings did an interview yesterday with Bill Gates. During the interview, at one point, Gates speculated, because he doesn’t have any data to actually back this up, at how much is going to change in the world as far as global health goes if the United States pulls back on certain spending, spending that often goes through his foundation, which, oh, that’s convenient. The money sort of kind of touches his own hands. And then probably a lot of us believe gets put in his back pocket more often than not. But anyway, if a certain funding for global initiatives goes away, Bill Gates’ position is it’ll cost us 2 million lives. 2 million people will die as a result of this. I’ll play the actual audio, not just the little 14-second clip that’s making the rounds on social media, but the full back and forth where CBS gets him to predict this. Because that narrative goes from Bill Gates making a guess that is absolutely rooted in his own political bias to a definitive fact that people on a certain side of the aisle will now say Doge killed two million people. That’s essentially the way that this works is they’ll go from Bill Gates made up a number. to we have definitive proof that Doge is taking lives, even though they absolutely don’t have that, and that’s how this animal lives and breathes and grows. But here’s the initial interview and the things that were said that, again, become their own narrative very quickly, much to the intention, much this is the point from legacy media to do this.
SPEAKER 14 :
This money goes away, and you were talking about millions of lives saved, right? Can you put a number on the lives potentially lost? Yeah, absolutely. So we should be going from 5 million children dying a year over the next five years to 4 million. And now with these cuts, if they’re not reversed, we’ll go to over 6 million dying. So instead of going down, we’ll go back up. Wow. So it’s a difference of 2 million lives. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 28 :
Yeah, that’s my assumption. I’m just making up stuff as we go. The advances in medicine may or may not actually help us save more lives, even if the United States doesn’t write blank checks that don’t even actually land to the places you want it to land. The main contention, I’m going to say this for the cheap seats in the back, even though so many of us already know this and believe this, the main contention for most Americans, I would believe most Americans, with the overspending of government here, there, everywhere, is understanding that the money doesn’t even go to the place you’re claiming it goes to, that it goes to everybody else. And Ukraine is even an interesting example of this because they’ve complained, as crazy as that sounds, that they didn’t get all the money they were promised. They’re like, hey, some of this money that you told us was going to us, we don’t know where it went. We stole it. You stole it. Somebody did. We’re not sure who, but we’re missing some millions of dollars. That happens all the time. And so the main contention is not that, you know, say the right doesn’t care about the lives of children. The right understands that government doesn’t actually put the money where it’s supposed to be the most valuable. I’ll give you another version of this. then i’ll play some audio some other places i i’ve worked in a few um you know things in my life that are non-profit-y uh that have uh portions of funding coming from government and whatnot so i’ve had a tangential access uh to some of this not terribly close proximity i know job i’ve had has ever been in the finance uh you know division or any sort of leadership position of these places But I’ve been involved to a certain extent. And what I find most amazing is even the places at the, you know, tail end of the process, the places that want to put the money to good use sometimes to help people in certain scenarios. They never get the amount that they hope for. They never get the amount that they’re looking for. And, you know, whatever the narrative might be out there in society right now, as far as doge cuts and who they took money from. We all know the reality is that by the time it gets to wherever it’s intended to go, a whole bunch of people have already touched and manipulated and moved money out of these things. So inevitably, the actual help done at the last level is nowhere near what you want it to be. And even the people usually in charge of those organizations are making way more money than they should be making to run those places. So it’s just fascinating to see and hear and then have some sort of connection and access sometimes to this stuff, how significantly the abuse can go and how great of a deal it is, how much of an issue it is, and how at the end of the day, not at all the thing that they’ll admit that people are actually against. They’re not against saving the lives of kids. They are against, again, wasteful and crazy spending in our government. All right. I want to play something else. This is the White House press secretary. She is talking about a couple different things today in the press conference, one of them being the potential deal between the United States and China and some meetings that will happen over the weekend in Switzerland. Again, one of many things that mainstream media told us was impossible, will not happen. Trump will not be capable of making agreements with people because he’s a horrible man that people hate, even though he’s already made a deal with the UK. And it looks like things become more and more promising by the day between the United States and China.
SPEAKER 20 :
Treasury Secretary Scott Besson and Ambassador Jamison Greer will meet with the lead representatives on economic matters from the People’s Republic of China over the weekend in Switzerland. As President Trump has said, the United States and China have been talking for some time over the course of the administration, and now teams from both countries will meet in person to continue discussions. You can be certain that President Trump and his trade team will ensure we work to achieve the best deal possible for America.
SPEAKER 28 :
I actually believe that, by the way. So often that becomes just a thing that politicians say, but because Trump is willing to take action that then forces other people to take him seriously, I believe we actually will get a much better deal than we’ve ever gotten before, no matter what that is. And we’ll see what happens there. But I just love this. make a deal with the UK, potentially going to make a deal soon with China. All stuff we said, not possible. You couldn’t possibly do it. By the way, the press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, also broke bad against the media, which she does often in these press conferences, and I enjoy it quite a bit, saying how ridiculous it is for people to assume that all of this manipulating of the market is just so President Trump can make more money personally, which is ridiculous. amazingly rich when you have the amount of people in politics who enrich themselves based on insider trading, people like Pelosi that somehow are worth millions and millions of dollars over the course of their political career and that mainstream media is accusing Trump alone of doing this recently and how he’s actually lost money in the stock market based on the tariffs and other things that have happened there. But it’s amazing. It’s like, nah, he’s just enriching himself. All of this is short-term manipulation. for his benefit. Here’s Levitt.
SPEAKER 04 :
You noted he is a successful businessman. Do you know if the president has any plans to meet with any of the folks involved with any of the family businesses over there or see any of the sites that are going to be neutral?
SPEAKER 20 :
Not to my knowledge. And let me just get to the premise of your question that both of you have raised. I love it. It’s frankly ridiculous that anyone this room would even suggest that president trump is doing anything for his own benefit he left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service not just once but twice and again the american public re-elected him back to this white house because they trust he acts in the best interest of our country and putting the american public first this is a president who has actually lost money for being president of the united states i don’t remember these same type of questions being asked of my predecessor about a career politician who was clearly profiting off of this office.
SPEAKER 28 :
That is such a good answer. So well done that you have people tiptoeing around what they want her to say or what they want her to do so that they can use out of context versions of quotes from the press secretary. to demonstrate that Trump is benefiting somehow. And then she cuts right to the point and also says it’s insane and ridiculous because not only did they not go after Biden, mainstream media actively defended him from what seemed to be very obvious abuse and fraud going on with him and his family. It’s weird to have family members as young as, you know, 10, 12 years old that have savings accounts and other things in their name, trust funds with tons of money in them from, you know, other countries that bounce through Hunter Biden’s pocket and other pockets. That’s just weird. That’s just strange. But why ask about that? Darn it. We’ve got to accuse Trump of profiteering somehow from his time in office. No other politician does that. Oh, how dare you? And actually, Trump doesn’t seem to be doing it because, as was said there, he’s lost money. But one last clip from the press secretary today talking about President Trump’s efforts to modernize air traffic control as we’re seeing bad things happen. Newark Airport, not genuinely considered a very good airport for many people, is having fairly scary power outage issues. Here we go.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yes, I’m glad you asked about the FAA. There was a glitch in the system this morning, especially at Newark Airport. As you all know, I spoke to the Department of Transportation. That glitch was caused by the same telecoms and software issues that were raised last week. Everything went back online after the brief outage, and there was no operational impact. DOT and the FAA are working to address this technical issue tonight to prevent further outages, as well as install new fiber from Newark Airport to Philadelphia. And the goal is to have the totality of this work done by the end of the summer. I want to add that this outage at Newark Airport speaks to why the Secretary of Transportation yesterday made a massive announcement in investing in our aviation safety and our telecom system. There’s a four-part infrastructure plan that was released by the Secretary of Transportation yesterday to improve communication, surveillance, automation, and their facilities.
SPEAKER 28 :
Wait a minute. I’ve been paying attention to legacy media and I thought Trump was somehow hurting air traffic control and hurting our airports and hurting, you know, airplane travel in this country. I thought that was happening. Not the exact opposite where you’re improving stuff and giving Newark access to better technology. You got to overhaul a lot more that airport for people to actually like it, by the way. I don’t think all that’s happening. But hey, at least the computers will work and they won’t randomly have power outages and shutdowns that terrify people. There is also audio, I think, of air traffic controllers talking to FedEx planes and whatnot about the fact that they have absolutely no technology, which seems bad. That seems bad. So let’s fix that. And then we’ll fix some of the other things that make Newark such a terrible airport. All right. Quick break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana show.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 28 :
That’s right. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five. This is the Dana Show. My name is Greg Collins filling in D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X on Twitter to stay connected to everything that she’s out there doing. Women are more attracted to a bald guy than we previously thought, according to a brand new study paid for by a weird dating site out of the UK. But anyway, 2,000 women were asked what the most attractive feature on a man is. Number one was muscles. That was not surprising. A guy in good shape is most desirable. About 50% of women gave that answer. Then 40% of women said a bald head. I imagine that was connected to the first one. I feel like the famous people out there in the world who are thought of as very attractive as dudes who also are bald usually have, you know, a decent amount of time in the gym. They’re usually people who go quite often. I would imagine. I feel like those things are connected. It might not be the kind of hope that anybody who’s follically challenged might be, you know, praising this study for. And I saw a lot of friends doing that on social media. You might have to get in pretty good shape. But nonetheless, number two, being bald. Number three was blue eyes. Four was a beard. And five was actually dark hair or curly hair on this list. Blonde hair came in much lower. So apparently a dark hair better, blue eyes better, and bald even better than that. But only if you’re in shape. I’m imagining, I’m guessing. I think that’s probably true for any of them. All right. Other stuff I saw out there. I love this. The Wall Street Journal did a report on how high school juniors are already making $70,000 a year or have jobs like that waiting for them when they graduate high school simply because they’re taking shop class and they’re learning certain skills that seem to be non-existent in our society now. A couple of these 17-year-old kids who were featured in this profile in the Wall Street Journal out of Philadelphia said, Talk about how excited they are to get out of school and start working these jobs and immediately making way more money than several of their, you know, classmates will actually be losing in all the different, you know, signing on the dotted line of loans they’ll be taking out to go to college. It is amazing. And this is only the entry level pay for welding students or other people in these, you know, kind of typical professional places, because as they skill as the skills develop, the kids will have more and more opportunities in those fields and will make more and more money. It is amazing to see a report like that, not because it’s surprising, not because any of us are shocked by the information itself. but because of how likely more and more young people are to follow that path and how that’ll actually be, I think, hopefully, part of the lost influence of, say, the indoctrination world of elite educations is that you can go right onto a path that’s becoming so rare that it’s paid even better than it used to be paid. I know a ton of friends whose college age or high school age kids are actually going this road and making way more money than I lost, again, when I went the We’ll be right back. But how about you take this cannon? And then when the guy said he didn’t want the cannon, the person who was trying to give a cannon to his drug dealer also threatened to kill him with it. And not that he actually knew how to use it. So I think that was, you know, something that the drug dealer might have been able to see through. But nonetheless, the guy chained it to his Chevy Tahoe, dragged it to where his dealer was, tried to sell it to him and was eventually arrested by the police. This is a terrible move in a lot of levels. My favorite of which was Hey, if you don’t want this cannon, this cannon’s going to be used against you. Darn it. Crazy. All right, we’ll take a break. A lot more coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

SPEAKER 28 :
This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. DLash, DanaLashRadio and X on Twitter are great ways to stay connected to her. There is a viral video of feminists lighting pink smoke, little candle things, to demand say in who gets to be the next pope. They wanted a part of, you know, a seat at the table, a part of the conversation revolving around them so they could pick who would be the pope. No one actually asked them for their opinion. The pope was decided recently. This individual, Pope Leo, is from Chicago originally, although he’s been living abroad for several years now. I am someone who lived in Chicago for many years and was amused by some of the debates that happened on my own social media feed about whether or not he’s a Cubs fan or White Sox fan or any of that other stuff that’s out there. There also are the political avenues that you go in the world of the new pope. One of them is from his brother, who has now been popping up all over certain media channels. The biggest reason why people are standing outside the home of the brother of the new pope, the first ever American pope, is because it fits the narrative of the left that he is anti a lot of things that Trump is doing in the world of immigration. It is amazing to watch people beg for nonpolitical things to be turned into politics. And I said this earlier in the show, and I’ll say it again. I wasn’t, you know, accidentally saying it. I do mean it. In my own life, I choose to only turn certain places for information. You do this too. This is not a shocking revelation. But that means that I don’t turn on an NBA basketball game to hear what they think politically of certain things. They can say and do whatever they want. It’s a free country. Anyone can. But I don’t really care what certain NBA players’ positions are on politics. And they won’t, in fact, determine who I vote for. Even though I’m a Catholic, the same is true for some of these conversations in the world of politics, especially in the world of, say, immigration. Even if Pope Leo XIV’s position is that somehow it’s against the Catholic Church or against faith’s teachings because it’s mean to people, I think that actually it’s quite mean to have a system that allows for people to try to get into our country illegally, not have any rights to be here, be in constant jeopardy of being deported if they, say, get caught being here, which is what should happen, and then have to leave. and also while they’re here, most likely be taken advantage of since you don’t have the right to have a regular job. I think there’s a lot of things you could do to argue that it’s more loving to the human being to break up a system that’s letting them come into any country illegally and stay here without rights. That’s one way to argue it, not the only way to argue it. Of course, that might be an overly woke way to go about it, but darn it, I’m trying to argue with the Pope. But nonetheless, and I’ll play a little bit of this audio, you have the brother standing in front of the house being talked to by a whole bunch of politicians or television stations about political opinions, and I simply don’t turn that way for that information. If my faith, my Catholic faith, guides me to look for information from, you know, the church or its leaders about something that also has a political component to it. Abortion is one of those things. And fine, then I’ll go that road. But if it doesn’t tell me I need the input of someone on this, I simply don’t care what they say. That might sound disrespectful. That might sound wrong. But that’s how I live my life. That’s the best way to do it, I think, because some of these things are not actually faith based. They’re political based. And I don’t I don’t need to have them in this way or I don’t need to digest them the way they’re telling me to, because darn it, we are human beings. And the faith you believe in should be above the things that are innately human that get discussed sometimes. But here I’ll play the audio just so you understand what I’m talking about.
SPEAKER 06 :
I think he sees the United States is headed in the wrong direction in terms of immigration, that this is a total injustice. These are people. It doesn’t matter where they’re born. They are people first.
SPEAKER 28 :
Yes, they are people first. And the treacherous journey that it takes to get them from wherever they come from to our country, where they’re working with cartels and other people who do horrible things to some of these individuals that don’t even make it to our country. Those are all things we could avoid by having a deterrent that stops people from trying to get into our country illegally. And I’ll just remind people, as far as birthright citizenship goes, one of the other reasons that people very often try to make it to the United States is something that doesn’t exist in a bunch of these European countries that the Pope is not in disagreement with. So it is just fascinating to think about that and how this becomes its own political discussion when the reality is that I turn to my faith leaders for faith-based advice. And sometimes I don’t see a connection between faith and politics, as most of us probably don’t in a lot of these states. topics. All right, I’m going to move on from that. I could be harsher in my take, but I don’t want to be. I truly just don’t care as much as maybe I should on some of that stuff. The Chicago mayor, Brandon Johnson, talked recently with a radio station in Chicago about how he’s going to try to prevent gentrification through policy decisions. He’s very proud of some of this. His Green Social Housing Initiative is By the way, I do love When people say like, hey, we have six developers, five of them are black people, three of them are women. I don’t need to tell you the qualifications of any of these individuals because I’m putting it out there that the reason we put them in these positions is based on race. So I can tout this and not necessarily based on them being the best for the job. They do this to themselves, Democrats, when they lead with that. They could say the qualifications of all six individuals, you know, like three real estate developers who have this many properties and do this and that. Nah. Screw that, I’m just gonna tell you their race and whether they’re a man or a woman and then move on.
SPEAKER 26 :
Move aggressively with development, particularly for housing and making it affordable. I promise the last, last thing, green social housing is another initiative that we’re putting forward to create essentially a government nonprofit entity that allows for a revolving loan to continue to build more affordable units, and then to make sure that that affordability remains in place. Because what happens is you build property, you build homes, and then, of course, natural accrue and gentrification takes place. Terrible. This is a way to stave off gentrification.
SPEAKER 28 :
This is a way to prevent people from improving a place and making it more valuable so then people pay more money to live there. We don’t want that at all. We want something controlled by our government that’s a green social building, that’s some sort of government loan that can keep renewing itself, that builds these places that we then keep at a certain cost because we make sure the neighborhood does not improve itself. That’s insane. That’s insane to talk about, insane to say. and insane to be a political position you have. It’s basically admitting out loud, we want to commit some fraud. We want to do some financial bad things. We want to tell you they’re good things. And that’s it. That’s all we’re going to do here. Let’s move on and not pay attention to this. And I also just love like the vilifying of business, essentially. Places like Chicago have businesses fleeing like crazy because of how much they don’t want business there. And nothing better says that than we’re going to build some nice places to live and make sure the surrounding area doesn’t improve enough for those places to be worth what they’re actually worth. We want them to be cheap forms of living because we want them to be in bad places that don’t get better. Crazy. One last thing. I do love this, too, as far as just weird political stuff out there. Bernie Sanders is being attacked quite a bit, deservedly so, for flying private with AOC on their speaking tour, on their rally tour, whatever you want to call it. And he got so upset on Fox News when asked a question about the amount of waste and the potential for all the climate change stuff that he claims is so important to, you know, not be what his actual actions demonstrate he believes in by flying around private, not go ahead and taking a regular plane like the rest of us. And he he seemed to respond with, how dare you, sir? But before I play that, I’ll actually play the audio from just a year ago or so of him saying that everybody has to do their part. We all have to band together and stop doing things that hurt our mother earth because it’s our fight and we have to fight it. And how dare he think that he has to be involved in that? I love every part of this. I love the fear mongering in the world of climate change, which politicians do all the time to get free checks and tons of money. I love the fact that he thinks, how dare you believe that I have to be a part of anything I tell you to do, et cetera, et cetera. Here we go.
SPEAKER 07 :
What we’re doing now is speaking to the American people and saying you have got to be involved in this process because if you are not. The planet that we’re going to leave to our kids and our grandchildren will be significantly less habitable. Five rallies in a week. The only way you can get around to talk to 30,000 people. I think I’m going to be sitting on a waiting line at United. How dare you? You know, what, 30,000 people are waiting. That’s the only way you can get around. No apologies for that. That’s what campaign travel is about.
SPEAKER 28 :
Why do you think I would actually have to wait in a line, sir? I’m Bernie Sanders. How dare you make that a thing that I have to do, even though I told everybody else they have to do it. And I’m very mad that anyone else gets the fancy benefits that I get. That is communism. That is socialism. When the people in the political elite are the only ones who get all the, you know, great stuff and the rest of us have nothing and we’re all doing terrible in our lives. You see that again and again. It’s amazing the way that these individuals, these elite politicians, just simply expect us to not hear that part of the message when they say this stuff out loud. They’re so used to this ridiculous lifestyle of being the political elite that I honestly think some, even a Bernie Sanders, no longer truly understand that. how hypocritical they’re being. Because how could they? If you can say that with a straight face, although maybe they can, it’s even more amazing. But the fact that he thinks, how dare you say I should wait in line is all the proof you need that he himself is a multimillionaire who doesn’t live up to any of the things he asked anyone to do because he doesn’t care and he doesn’t want to. And he thinks he doesn’t have to because, well, darn it, he’s better than you. All right. We’ll take one last break. We’ll come back and we’ll talk about a few other crazy things out there. One of them, unfortunately, is a Kanye West story that’s making the rounds that I thought about totally skipping today. It is crazy. And Kanye is someone who doesn’t seem to be in his right mind very often. And then also and maybe this is just interesting to me. We’ll find out after the break if you find it as interesting as I do. A surprising new category. for some award shows next year will be popping up in the world of audio. I’ll tell you what that is and more in just a bit. This is Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins. I hang out with you on a Friday. Dana is back next week. DLash, DanaLashRadio, and X on Twitter to stay connected to all things that are awesome and happening about this show. All over other social media, on YouTube, Rumble, everything. So you can find her a bunch of ways. This is interesting. Kanye West has released a brand new song. The song has a horrible title, terrible lyrics. I’m not going to play it for you. The song is called Heil Hitler. It actually features a lot of black men doing some sort of weird formation singing, all wearing animal skins on their heads. It’s just very odd and, you know, downright offensive to a lot of people. But Kanye West continues to do this stuff. continues to be someone who seems to think provocative is, you know, anything out there in the world. It is it is just strange. I contemplated not even talking about this, but it’s getting a lot of, you know, pub a lot of places. And I don’t know, to me, some of this stuff is stuff you can absolutely just ignore. You can let it go in one ear and out the other and not care about Kanye West at all. that’s up to you, how you approach this. His influence is only really significant if he has attention. And I would just so soon, I’m not trying to say you actually cancel him or get him to stop making stuff. I just simply would ignore him. But that’s my advice. You do what you want to do. He’s out there again doing stuff. The Golden Globes will be adding a podcast category beginning in 2026. They will be giving out a category for an award for the best podcast every single year. In order to qualify, you have to be listed in the top 25 podcasts as far as audience goes. That’ll be interesting to see. Joe Rogan should essentially just win this award every year for a while. At least I assume he will. But a lot of Hollywood hates him. So will they actually give an award to him or someone like him? Some things that are very successful in the podcast space are successful, much to the chagrin of many of those people who are going to show up at the Golden Globes. It’ll be fascinating to see if those individuals win or if other people win those awards that don’t really reflect who’s actually doing the best in that platform. Dana does quite well on that platform, too. I wonder if she’ll actually be nominated at some point. And if she gets to go to the Golden Globes and see how everybody in Hollywood treats her, I imagine it’ll be better than how they treat Rogan. But who knows? We’ll see. It’ll be interesting again to find out even who those candidates are every single year. Another story out there that I thought was fascinating, a dating expert, a woman in her 50s who says she knows exactly how to tell men to be successful with the ladies, has given you five don’t do these things pieces of advice, five tips for how men can instantly ruin the mood with a young woman. According to her, I thought they were interesting. The first one, no cute baby talk. During any of the dating or the courting process, as she refers to it, you should not ever do baby talk like you’d talk to a toddler or a puppy. That is something that’s not going to go well. An odd piece of advice. No picking of your teeth was number two on this list. which means that she’s assuming a whole lot of people have absolutely no manners whatsoever. But apparently that’s number two. Don’t, in front of someone that you’re just getting to know and trying to date, go ahead and pick your teeth or anything else like that. And then I love the last set of advice because it’s fairly repetitive. There are three different pieces of advice for how not to use technology, how not to overly pay attention to dating apps, and how not to present yourself on them. No pouty faces, no AI-improved photographs, and no trying to take smoldering-looking pictures while standing next to the woman. So three out of the five are essentially, don’t upstage me on social media, darn it. I’m the hot one. You don’t get to be the hot one in this relationship, which I found very amusing. But those are her five tips. You do all five of those things, and apparently the ladies are just going to be incredible to keep away from you. It’ll be incredibly challenging to stay single in an environment where you follow those rules. All right, one last thing before I get out of here. A piece of audio I like. It’s a teacher in school. She shot a video of herself doing this, so probably did it more for social media attention than to teach kids something. But she said she was trying to teach kids a lesson on how they write instructions. If she follows the instructions verbatim to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it made her do ridiculous things, and the kids need to learn how to be more specific. Things like putting peanut butter and jelly on the bag and not actually on the bread, etc., etc. But I have a little audio. I like this mostly because of how much the kids freak out as she’s making the mistakes. That means she’s not making peanut butter and jelly correctly. Here we go.
SPEAKER 05 :
Did I make it? No. That’s what it said to do. I got my bread, I got my peanut butter, and I got my jelly, so it’s good. That’s not. No. Let’s try another one. Put the bread flat.
SPEAKER 1 :
All right.
SPEAKER 28 :
By the way, she’s squishing the bread because they said to flatten it.
SPEAKER 20 :
I feel like that’s good. Spread jelly and jam on the bread.
SPEAKER 03 :
No! Okay, I feel like this is good so far.
SPEAKER 28 :
She’s spreading the peanut butter and jelly on the bag, and I just love how the kids are like, oh my God, this is the worst thing I’ve ever seen. This is great. This is an adorable video. This is the kind of education I can get behind being taught to my kids at school and not any of the crazy other stuff that seems to be out there. This makes more sense. All right, I’m out of here. Talk to you later. This is The Dana Show. Greg Collins filling in. Dana back on Monday.
