As tensions simmer globally, we examine how Trump’s foreign policy, especially regarding tariffs, serves as a strategic tool beyond mere trade negotiations. Listen in as we compare these tactics to past administrations and consider their implications on international relations, particularly with countries like India and Russia. Simultaneously, Chicago’s ongoing struggles with violence and governance highlight the episode alongside calls for greater accountability and transparency in the pharmaceutical industry regarding COVID-19 vaccines.

SPEAKER 20 :
This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about out there in the world. Let’s get you started right here. Let’s play a little bit of this audio. This is J.D. Vance talking about how people for many years now have thought that certain things that are happening would be bad. Donald Trump does them and they’re doing much better than we thought.
SPEAKER 10 :
many years now that Donald Trump’s tariffs are going to cause inflation. They didn’t cause inflation during the Trump administration. We keep on defying economists’ expectations. They keep on saying inflation is going to be 3%, 4%, 5%. It ends up being 2%, which is exactly where you want it. So we’re very sensitive to this. We’re obviously monitoring this stuff. But I think the evidence is that what these tariffs have done is caused a lot of capital to flow into our country, a lot of new facilities being built in our country. And, you know, we don’t see the evidence yet. And I’ve been skeptical from the very beginning that President Trump’s tariffs are going to cause prices to rise. What they’re going to do is cause people to come back into our country. And the final point on this, Will, is the president said this better than anybody. You know what your tariff rate is if you build in the United States of America? It is zero. You don’t pay a tariff if you build in the United States. So why not employ American workers? Build your products closer to the people who are going to be consuming those things. That’s the whole point of President Trump’s economic vision is more for America, more in America, more by American workers.
SPEAKER 20 :
That last part is the part that’s most important, the part that’s missing all the time when some people like to talk about this discussion. But it’s very obvious that if you build more here in the United States, which is the whole goal, that things get way better for all of us. Things are cheaper. Things are easier to deal with, et cetera, et cetera. So this is the kind of thing that, of course, when you’re hearing it, when you’re talking about it, when you’re thinking about it, you’re saying to yourself, yeah. I’d love to see more of this because it’ll create jobs because we’ll do all kinds of things that benefit our society and not just maybe. And I remember this, too. Here, I’ll say something about this for anyone that thinks that parts of this are just so untrue. Trump himself even said there might be short term pain for long term wins. And that hasn’t happened to the degree that he thought it would or that some claimed it would, which I think is also really fascinating in all of this. But let’s move on. This is audio of Mayor Brandon Johnson. He is speaking at a Labor Day rally telling you how great Chicago is and how much they’re going to fight, how much they’re going to prevent anyone and everyone who is not them from doing horrible, terrible things that he claims some people are going to try to do. People like President Trump, if they send National Guard troops to make Chicago better. Oh, just one note, too, by the way, before I hit play on this audio. 53 shootings in the city over this weekend. 53 people were shot. This is fairly normal for Chicago to see every weekend, especially in the summertime. But, hey, things are great there, according to Brandon Johnson.
SPEAKER 01 :
The city of Chicago. No militarized force in the city of Chicago. We’re going to defend our democracy in the city of Chicago. No. We’re going to protect the humanity of every single person in the city of Chicago.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, that’s great. Let’s do that. Let’s do everything we can to make things as good as humanly possible for everybody but, well, darn it, the people who live in the city of Chicago. I’ll tell you as somebody who has been there, lived there for years. Been there was a weird thing. I lived there for like 15 years of my life. I just recently moved to Texas. And I will tell you that if Chicago got safer… especially the communities in Chicago that are uniquely dangerous. If they got better, I would be thrilled. Most people would be thrilled that live there. So it’s such a weird defiance because even for people who actually say that they would do this or they like the plan, they like the idea of the way that it’s coming out from the Democrats. They don’t actually understand what would occur if things truly got better in their city and how much happier they’d be. I think the biggest win, if you’re looking at, say, you know, Washington, D.C., for example, the biggest win will be inevitably that what happens there and how much better it gets will demonstrate to the people how this is actually a good thing. And I can’t help but continue to say this, especially filling in for Dana. Any opportunity I’m given to talk about any of this stuff, I will. And so this is something that I’ve said often over the last couple of days being in on this show. But the simple truth is that I’m not afraid of the military men and women who serve this country. I’m not afraid of them hurting innocent people. I’m not afraid of them being given an order that’s horrible that they follow. It’s just not a thing that I’m scared of. And so if we were to see something like that occur in our society, I think the American people would do the right thing and stand up. But I don’t think it would happen. And the biggest part of fear mongering, as the Democrats do about this topic, is to convince you that the men and women of our military would do something bad, that they cannot be trusted, essentially, more or less. That is what they’re saying. They’ll tell you they’re not saying that. But there’s no way that they can’t add that component to anything else they do to be Nazi Germany. You not only need the leader that they claim that Trump is, but you actually also need a whole bunch of people who are willing to do things that were horrible and beyond any level of, you know, rationality obediently to listen to that leader. And our society, our country is simply not going to do that. It’s just not going to happen. All right. Some other things out there. Trump has issued a fresh warning to India after the Putin meeting. This is after a Putin meeting between India and Russia. What’s interesting about this to me, and I think probably the most fascinating part of it for a lot of people out there, is that these tariffs are the main way in which the president United States is trying to to negotiate anything with anyone, not just trade. But literally anything tariffs is at the forefront of the discussion and the way the president uses them, even as it’s going to be debated in courtrooms and the Supreme Court is going to have to decide if he has the power to do this. But the uniqueness of this and you know what actually is even more important or I think is more significant. I remember when President Biden was talking about how Putin better not invade Ukraine and there were going to be economic sanctions and all kinds of things that happened. It seems that the way that Trump wields tariffs is so much more significant, so much more impactful. than anything that, say, someone before him was trying to do. And I also find that to be uniquely interesting. What is it about the way in which Trump says, I’m going to do this and then actually lives up to that threat that makes people behave differently? Yes, he wants India and Russia to stop cooperating. In certain ways, he wants a lot of countries to stop providing things like gas to Russia or buy gas from Russia, I should say. And so in order to do that, he’s got to throw these tariffs out there as the main source of demonstrating a defiance that hopefully gets us what we want. Finally, one last thing that I think is interesting before we take our first break. Trump has called on drug companies to justify the success of covid vaccines. This is fan freaking tastic. This is one of my favorite things that I’ve seen because I believe and this is me honestly saying this. And you might think of this as naive. I don’t really care what you think of this as naive. i i’ve always believed that after everything that happened during covet because of the scope of it the size of it that we would be capable as a society not that we would actually do it but that we’d be capable of demanding answers from a very very unwilling participant not just china but any of the uh pharmaceutical companies we’d get to demand answers from them because of the size of it and because of how many americans would stand together and say we want that Now, what’s unfortunate, and this is the thing that I think a lot of us would have expected or I essentially predicted along with you, is the reality wouldn’t actually occur. We wouldn’t all do that. But you put Trump in the White House and he’s at the forefront of saying certain things. And this is amazing. And hopefully this causes more demand for more transparency with what exactly happened and why they said certain things, things that I think they probably knew were not true. A lot of us believe that they knew were not true, but at least definitely didn’t end up being true when you fast forward to the world in which we live right now. And so I just I find it to be probably the most important aspect of that topic not going away. The most important thing is that we all have to equally want the thing that the president is now going after. And I do love people on the left who call this a distraction. Like, oh, he’s just doing that and saying that because it appeals to his base and he doesn’t want them focused on whatever the things are that they say are negative. Now, he’s doing that and saying that to me because it’s so important in society. And he’s honestly at the forefront of having helped the pharmaceutical industry create the covid vaccines, not control them the way that Biden chose to control them, but at least create them. And so even more so, he’s the appropriate leader to say, give us justification, give us information about this. We deserve it. We need it. And he’s got a, I think, scheduled meeting today at 2 o’clock where you can announce further things, which I am thrilled at. All right. We will take a break. We have more coming up. This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Back in a bit.

SPEAKER 17 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 20 :
That’s right. It is time for the Quick Five on 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. Graham Green, the Dancing with the Wolves star who was nominated for an Academy Award for his fantastic job in that movie, passed away. That is something I think that happened last night. Graham was 73 years old. Certainly a valuable person in the world of acting, in the world of entertainment. So definitely a deserving mention here. I will tell you, it’s always odd to me to talk about the famous people who pass away. Mostly because… There’s always somebody in your life, somebody that you saw on television, somebody that, you know, sang music, somebody that did something that impacted you more than a stranger is typically capable of doing it for you. I’m not saying Graham Greene is that individual for me, but I think that’s one of the big reasons that we all discuss it so much is that these known entities, these famous people do have such a unique and outstretched impact in one way or another, whoever it might be on your life. So if Graham Green is someone that truly impacted you, I am sorry to tell you the news that, unfortunately, at 73 years old, he passed away. It’s Telephone Tuesday, the top day for phone calls all year long, apparently, is today. A whole lot of people will be making all kinds of phone calls to all the companies that you need to make appointments with before the end of the year because your insurance is about to expire, all that stuff. Salespeople will start to make the grind toward the last quarter, end of the year kind of push forward. So today, apparently, Telephone Tuesday, a loosely observed day where a whole bunch of people are going to do all kinds of things. You might also, you know, reach out to friends and family on a day like today after the long holiday. If you haven’t talked to someone, maybe you’ll get a little bit nostalgic. But anyway, and this is maybe mostly to the chagrin of any and all Gen Zers who don’t like to talk on the phone. For the most part, don’t like to talk on the phone because today you’re getting the phone calls. It’s not texting Tuesday. It is phone call Tuesday or Telephone Tuesday. The CEO who stole a hat from a kid at the open is sorry. This was hilarious to me. Hilarious because of the defense that the Polish CEO used. So if you don’t know what’s happening, and if you didn’t see the video, which did go very viral, there’s a dude in the stands standing right next to a little kid when a tennis player tries to take his hat off and hand it to the little kid, to the young man. The jerk standing just to the side of him pops his hand out real quick, snatches it, puts it away in his bag, does all this stuff, like super fast, just a complete jerk, the way that an adult should not behave around a child who’s getting a sports memorabilia thing from a famous athlete. And so then on social media, as he was getting attacked for it, he was joking about it. I think that he made statements of, if you went faster, you’d have the hat, not me. which is just the weirdest second option in all of the parts of this. To be like, you know what? All right. I stole something from someone. Let me be proud of that. And then finally, his company put out a statement saying that he was sure, at least he thought, the kid was trying to pass the hat to him, which is the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. Not just that he thought the athlete was trying to give him the product, but that the child who was reaching his hand out also desired for this hat that was evidently being given to a kid to actually go to the adult man CEO standing next to the side of him. Now, I will say this. I do think it’s uniquely weird. And I mentioned this about the other story, the Kiss Cam one, that it’s CEOs who are getting in quote unquote trouble with the general public. Because I think there is a lot of like jealousy and a lot of anger with people who are wealthy and people who are not in our society. And I think that is driving some of this. I think if the guy was, you know, not doing all that well in his own life, it might be a less serious. He’d still look like a jerk, but at least people wouldn’t blame his wealth as some part of the problem here. So I just think that’s interesting. I think that there’s probably other stories that are not as viral that you don’t know about where someone who’s not a CEO of a big company did something to be a jerk in some way and someone is not discussing it. Even the whole scandal for the other CEO who was on the Kiss Cam, the astronomer guy. that wound up having to quit his job. I think that if he were just like a low-level salesman at that company, it might not have risen to the level that it did with people being so mad about it and obsessing about who at the company did what. It just seems very weird. But that seems to be a byproduct of this that I think is important, even if it doesn’t really matter all that much. And I’m not trying to say leave the CEOs alone, because who cares? You do what you want. The guy was a jerk and stole a hat from a kid. Finally, one last thing. Jobs rock stars had before they were famous. This list went very viral. I think it’s actually pretty cool. Ozzy Osbourne had a brief stint at a slaughterhouse cat cutting cow carcasses before he became famous. Many others. Kurt Cobain was a janitor. Axl Rose managed to tower records, which is probably thrilled he got out of that business and did what he did after. A sales associate, an adult shop was Corey Taylor’s gig. And then finally, Debbie Harris was a bunny at the New York City Playboy Club. And that about makes sense for her. Oh, and Courtney Love was a stripper, which I think people have talked about before, because also, why not? That makes sense. But again, these are just some of the jobs that famous people had specifically in rock music before they became famous, which gives us all hope. Anybody doing a sales associate gig at an adult shop can hope that they’re going to be the next big thing. All right, quick break. A lot more. Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

SPEAKER 20 :
They don’t learn their lesson. 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. This is Kristi Noem putting up on social media a demonstratedly edited video showing her response to a CBS question and then what they aired as far as the CBS question goes. This was about Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. No matter how many times media is caught red handed in this situation, no matter how much money President Trump successfully gets them in lawsuits to give him, they still want to do this. They still want to change things and claim it’s for journalistic reasons. But here we go.
SPEAKER 27 :
One thing that we will continue to do is to make sure that he doesn’t walk free in the United States of America. This individual was a known human smuggler, MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors and even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off he was so sick and what he was doing and how he was treating small children so he needs to never be in the united states of america and our administration is making sure we’re doing all that we can to bring him to justice that is crazy i want to play it one more time so the first piece of audio is the audio of what cbs actually aired
SPEAKER 20 :
The question about Kim are Greg Garcia. The second very long, very contextualized answer as to why you would never want that person in the United States. It did not air. And so that it’s insane that this is the kind of thing that a lot of these places are being caught doing. It’s so easy in society right now to do this, by the way. We all have a phone. We all have the capability to record things. Of course, people that are going to take interviews from places like the White House have capabilities to do this sort of stuff. And news seems to be woefully unprepared for the reality that they’re not the only arbiters of any sort of narrative. that everyone else can demonstrate the truth themselves and that there are social media platforms like X, like Twitter, that you can go on and tell people the truth and it won’t be censored by people in charge because of Elon Musk. One more time, I want to play it. The difference between what aired on CBS and what she actually said.
SPEAKER 27 :
And the one thing that we will continue to do is to make sure that he doesn’t walk free in the United States of America.
SPEAKER 20 :
Again, that’s the entire answer they aired as if for some reason with no motivating factors, Kristi Noem is like, screw Kilmar Brego Garcia, the innocent man from a part of this country that doesn’t deserve this level of scrutiny that he’s getting as they continue to call him and pretend he’s that. But oh, wait a minute. If you actually aired the whole answer, this is who he is to a lot of the people that have seen all of the different court cases and whatnot against him. actions in courtrooms or at least the filings of certain things that his his wife did and then sort of took back, which was weird or actually really just tried to avoid when asked questions about this. But again, this is the unedited answer that CBS deemed inappropriate to put on television and totally fine to cut out.
SPEAKER 27 :
This individual was a known human smuggler, MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife-beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors. And even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off. He was so sick in what he was doing and how he was treating small children. So he needs to never be in the United States of America, and our administration is making sure we’re doing all that we can to bring him to justice.
SPEAKER 20 :
You know what’s really sad about this, too, to be honest with you? CBS was the same, is the same organization that begrudgingly, finally, years later, admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop was real. They’re the first ones to do that of the main legacy media liars, I guess you could call them. The people who do not tell you the truth and don’t really care to tell you the truth anymore. But what I thought was so interesting about it is that they demonstrated a willingness to at least sometimes accept the reality around them and behave accordingly to it. But then this, again, is a totally different version of that. It’s the exact opposite. It’s the screw you guys. We’re going home kind of thing. We’ll do whatever we want. And how dare anybody ask us any questions? And, well, it’s it’s awful. All right, another story out there that I saw that I thought was interesting. Gavin Newsom and his press office account tried to pick a fight with Dean Cain, the guy who played Superman in the Lois Lane, Dean Cain TV show with Terry Hatcher. It was a dumb fight for sure. Dean Cain put up a photo on, I think, Instagram and some other places that said that he got hurt. Somehow he hurt one of his arms. He said, small mishap will heal fully and quickly. So happy it’s college football weekend. It’s a weird post for someone to be like, I’m going to attack this guy now. You know, like a person who may or may not even be all that famous anymore. I’m not saying that you don’t recognize Dean Cain if you see him somewhere. But he’s not a guy who’s doing a lot of current acting in things. I’m not trying to take a shot. I’m just saying. And he’s putting up a photo saying that he got injured and he’s going to heal. And the press office for Gavin Newsom was like, yeah, this is the time to go after him. So they put up on social media, turns out arresting innocent Latino kids and farm workers is harder than playing Superman. That was their response back to him being injured. And this is real dumb. By the way, Dean Cain did go with ICE on a few of the things that ICE had to do because he wanted to raise awareness for it. You can do whatever you want with your platform. I don’t care what people do with their platform. I think it makes more sense when you’re a Dean Cain who’s not acting anymore All that regularly or maybe not trying to to be more political, because now it doesn’t matter if people hire him or not. He doesn’t care. He just wants to tell the truth. But I think it’s interesting, again, that this has caused so many on the left to be so angry at him that he suited up and went with ICE officers who are the villain. to the left. It’s not anybody in charge anywhere. They want to blame the person that’s actually executing the order, which, by the way, let me get to that in a second. But first, let’s finish the Dean Cain thing. Dean’s response to Gavin Newsom’s press office was hysterical gaslighting from these idiots. Injury had nothing to do with ICE duties, just a simple home mishap. What frauds and phonies. And he just essentially made fun of them, which is hilarious. But let’s talk about that other idea for a second. So the left right now is dealing with a unique challenge. I think that Democratic leaders are dealing with it. I think that the loudest and the most annoying of the pundits and the people who scream things into televisions are dealing with it. And it’s the fact that several of the issues they’ve committed themselves to a side of the aisle on, it’s truly a dumb side. The men can play women’s sports. Men can use women’s bathrooms, all that kind of stuff. It’s just so stupid. And the wokeness of it is is so ridiculous. But they can’t turn back. They can’t get back to a sensible place because they’ve gone too far. it actually reminds me of quite a few different things out there in society. One of my favorite ones is the movie Tropic Thunder, which you may or may not have seen, and a character in Tropic Thunder that goes, and I probably shouldn’t say it this way on the air, but I’m not afraid of it, goes full moron, goes full idiot, full retard is what they say in the movie, and that if you’re acting and pretending to be someone who has a mental, you know, incapability, you can’t go so far that it makes no sense. You have to have redeeming qualities. They called it the Forrest Gump rule, where you can act as though you’re someone who has some limitations, but not too many limitations to ruin a movie. That’s essentially, in a different way, what has happened to the left. They’ve gone so far on so many issues that they don’t know how to come back to the table. They don’t know how to turn around their full, you know, idiot move. And so instead of doing that, they’re trying to pick a fight with who they deem to be weaker people. They don’t want to fight necessarily with Trump, although they do that all the time. So he’s probably the exception to the rule. But the system that they’re trying to fight, you know, the same way Trump is a Trump’s enemy is the deep state. Right. Trump’s enemy is people who, you know, are in control of things and do bad things with that level of control, that level of authority. Whether you believe that or not is fine. That’s who the Republican voter believes the ultimate enemy to be of their party, is bad behaving people in positions of power. The left continues to target the people who act because of the leadership of their party. So the left attacks the ICE agent instead of saying that it’s the person ordering the raid who is the only person they should be targeting and fighting. They want to shame the people at the lowest level of the totem pole to try to get them to stop listening to the people above them. It’s really an interesting tactic because, again, it demonstrates weakness. I really hope I’ve done a good job of explaining this. I’ve really attempted to here. I probably need to map it out a little bit better. But when you’re weak, when your positions aren’t strong, when you know people don’t support them, the only way to win is to turn the every man that’s living next door to the person who voted for you into the enemy because you can’t reach any higher than that because the higher you reach, the more you have to have a conversation about substance, a conversation about issues, a conversation about policy, and they don’t want to do that. They want to say that the orange man is bad and anyone who voted for the orange man is bad. And you need to attack those individuals so they are too afraid and stop voting for the orange man because they can’t win the other way. And it’s really fascinating. But again, that’s that’s to me the biggest takeaway of trying to attack Dean Cain for, you know, helping ICE. is like, oh, this guy, this horrible, terrible person, he needs to be blamed. And so does everyone who is, you know, actually upholding the law, which is all that ICE is doing. ICE is removing people who are legally in this country in all different kinds of ways, because again, and I can’t state this more clearly, they are illegally here in the country. They have broken a law. Whether or not you care about that law is not up to you and I. It’s up to the people in charge. And if you want to fight that power as a political party, you should do it by targeting the people in charge and not trying to get people to bully and harm ICE agents and make fun of Dean Cain when his arm is broken. Now, this is just, again, a very weird thing that exists in our society. It’s the same reason—I’ll say this part, too— before I take a break, that the left often targets children with conversations. They want kids to be capable of getting, you know, sex change operations, which is truly an insane thing to say out loud. It’s the kind of thing that a few years ago, if you had said to someone, they would have committed you. But now it’s actually a byproduct of the political talking points of each side. But they want that. They would like to see that happen. And I don’t know why they want to see that happen, but mostly because they think that that’ll create a voter for life. This person will never vote for anybody but Democrats. So who cares if they mutilate and change their body in a way that they can never reverse? We got one more voter. Let’s bring in all of the people across the border, regardless of what we know about them. There might be some murderers and some drug traffickers to get in. That’s fine because we’re bringing in a whole lot of voters and that’s all we care about. That’s all we want. We want power at all costs. That is the Democratic version of a conversation, not the conservative Republican one. regardless of what regular mainstream news media tells you and, well, what they edit out of their videos. All right, quick break. A lot coming up. This is Greg Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

SPEAKER 20 :
This is the Dana Show. My name is Greg Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about. The best week ever in the history of college football is officially in the books. This was a lot of very good top teams playing each other. I’m only going to do a very quick piece of information about this. Alabama got slaughtered, and that was hilarious. Um, it won’t be if you’re an Alabama fan, but the fact that an unranked Florida state week one came in and are well, uh, they played in Florida state, but beat Alabama 31, 17. Wow. That was amazing. That was, uh, something to watch. Uh, Alabama is truly a team that has fallen off a lot. Texas did not look as good as people hoped they would look. Arch Manning did not look as good as a whole lot of people hoped he would look. They lost to Ohio State 14-7. Luckily, Ohio State’s probably a very, very good football team with a very good defense, so Manning might start to look better in the future. And then finally, one of the other games that I watched was Notre Dame Miami and Miami with a big win there. Notre Dame making some really dumb decisions on offense, like not giving the football to their great, great running back, who probably should have run the ball more than, say, eight times in that game. But anyway, that was some of the big stuff. LSU did beat Clemson, a nine beat a four. That was a big win for Brian Kelly. And honestly, just a really fun weekend, probably for the former Notre Dame coach, for him to have a big marquee win with a program that hopefully is getting better. And then also watching Notre Dame Yet again, lose. All right. Some other things out there just quickly before we take a break that are not sports related for anyone that doesn’t care. MTV is going to start playing music videos again. This is just temporary. MTV will be playing a 24-7 MTV classic thing on Sunday night, I think, this coming week. What’s funny about this is that people for a long time begged music television to go back to being a television station that just plays a whole lot of music videos. That was before YouTube was a big thing. And now people just watch that stuff on YouTube. So would they actually migrate back to cable television? to watch it? No. I think the answer is pretty easily going to be a no there. But we’ll see. People are happy about this because the heyday of MTV is when they just played music videos and didn’t really do much of anything else. Another story out there that I thought was interesting This could be a four-day workweek test for some companies. At least that’s the claim being made at studyfinds.org and online. A three-day weekend is over, but the good news is it might become at some point a permanent thing. In a new survey, 69% of people believe they could do their job in 32 hours a week. 29% did not think that was possible, and 3% are the annoying kind that don’t know how to answer any question they’re asked. They’re like, I don’t know, to everything. Millennials are most likely to think they could do the job in a four-day workweek, 75%. That was very closely followed by both Gen X and Gen Z, who were at 70%. Baby boomers were the ones who were the least convinced. Only 48% of boomers thought they could handle a four-day workweek. Here’s the thing I’ve always thought about this topic. It’s not great to admit this to the company you work for now. If you do think that you could get all your work done in 32 hours instead of 40, there is no reason for the company to keep employing you for 40 hours. It doesn’t mean they’re going to shut down one extra day or they’re going to have all of their staff go home and somehow operate without anybody for that one extra day. There’s a really good chance that you become a part-time employee and they hire somebody else to do some other job in the days that you’re not there. Because that is truly what I think would happen for a whole lot of companies is that they’ll just make you work less, especially with AI starting to become a thing that’s getting more and more significant in the workplace. It seems like a really bad time to admit as a workforce how little you’re actually useful or how little you’re needed compared to what they expect. And saying that you could not show up one extra day a week and everything would be fine, it seems to be a mistake. Anyway, people are saying this and based on this information, some companies may be willing to actually start trying this in some way. But what that means, they’ll actually pay you, I think is up in the air because I don’t think that a whole lot of companies would be like, no, all this, every part of this sounds great to me. Let’s just go ahead and give you way less work to do or just way less time to get your work done and then keep paying you the exact same amount of money. I don’t know why people aren’t saying that part out loud in all of this. And the yes, we win the conversation about work weeks. We lose the conversation as far as salary and other things are concerned. One last silly topic for you, a palate cleanser before we take a break, which actually on my own show, I bring to you by a tequila company because I’m thrilled to that. El Bandido Yankee Tequila sponsors my palate cleansers. where I talk about stuff that is not important because the news makes you want to do shots. That is a real thing I do in another radio place. A pancake soup recipe. It went viral in 1975. It is going viral again. Sounds disgusting, but people are making pancake soup. Thank you, Internet. Quick break. A lot more.

I’ve got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how’s it going today?
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I’m Dan Morgan. I’m an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan & Morgan, which is America’s largest injury law firm.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said $20 billion won. $20 billion is an insane number.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It’s actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.
SPEAKER 19 :
Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?
SPEAKER 18 :
Probably the easiest way is dialing Pound Law. That’s Pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow.

Dan Morgan from Morgan & Morgan, America’s largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show.
SPEAKER 18 :
Thanks for having me. Visit ForThePeople.com for an office near you.
SPEAKER 20 :
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 is one of the best ways to stay connected to anything and everything going on in the world. Dana, let’s play this. This is audio from today, earlier today, where President Trump, talking to Scott Jennings, said that he is disappointed that Putin once again attacked Ukraine and he’ll do something to help protect and save lives. This matters. This is the exact kind of thing you want a world leader to be doing. And this is the type of thing that also flies in the face of Trump is weak against Putin. Here we go.
SPEAKER 14 :
I’m very disappointed in him. He and I always had a great relationship. I’m very disappointed. Thousands of people are dying. They’re not Americans that are dying, but they’re Russians and the Ukrainians. And there’s thousands. And it’s a war that makes no sense. And it would have never started if I were president. And that’s what bothers me even more because the election was totally rigged. And it’s a shame. We’ll see what happens. But I’m very disappointed in President Putin. I can say that. And we’ll be doing something to help people live. You know, it’s not a question of Ukraine. It’s how people live. 7000 people are dying every single week. Soldiers mostly. but 7,000 people. And if I can help to stop that, I think I have an obligation to do it.
SPEAKER 20 :
That is a great way to have that conversation, by the way. That’s a great thing to focus on. I know it seems like I’m just kissing up to President Trump if I say that, and you think that I’m being overly biased. I don’t even care, but it’s true, because there are people that push back on the idea that we’re doing too much to help Ukraine specifically. that we’re handing them too much free money, that we’re doing all these things. And so for Trump to say the motivating factor is sort of irrelevant to which side we think is innocent, which side we think is guilty, but just be a truly macro level. I want to protect people. I want lives to stop being lost in this constant conflict that’s been going on for years. that Trump often says never would have happened if he were in the White House when it first started. All of those things feel like valuable components to if the United States is involved in something on a world stage that many would hope that we would actually stop being involved in Trump among them. People who say that we need to stop being the the arbiter of certain justice around the rest of the world. This is an exception because he thinks that he has a unique capability of stopping the amount of death. As someone who’s a person of faith, that alone seems like a valuable way to try to pitch the continued involvement of the United States in stopping the tragedy that is the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the consistent moments in which Putin says one thing and does another, which people said he would do. And now he’s doing to Trump and Trump is not a fan of it. All right, let’s move on. Some other things out there that I saw. Tim Walls, to me, at this point, if you even hear about him or see any audio or anything by him, he feels like the, you know, teenage girl that went viral for saying something stupid, the Hawk to a type of person in society that’s still trying to cling to their 15 minutes of fame. That’s that’s literally what I think Tim Walz is in politics. He is the Hawk Tua of politics. And I feel exactly perfect in describing him that way. Here he is trying to make a joke about he was about how he was hoping that Trump would die soon because media has also been obsessed with the current health of the current president. This is a very odd way to say we’re the good guys and the other side of the bad guys. But we kind of hope they die. There’s not a lot of people who get to do those things. So, again, there’s no one who gets to do that. So, again, the hock to of politics who’s still trying to be famous is trying to also hope once again for the death of a man. that someone tried to kill, and I’m curious who that was. I know who the shooter was, but I’m curious what else happened there. And honestly, it seems like multiple times the left finds it amusing to talk about the death of President Trump and how bad that would be for society if there was any level of question whatsoever as to how that occurred. But here’s Tim Walz.
SPEAKER 15 :
You doom scroll through things, and although I will say this, the last few days you woke up thinking there might be news. Um… Just saying. Just saying. There will be news sometime. Just so you know, there will be news.
SPEAKER 20 :
He’ll die eventually, is what you’re trying to say there, Tim. That’s the joke you’re trying to make. This is horrible. And again, the people that are weirdly laughing, not a whole lot of them that are laughing at this kind of joke from Tim Walls, but he’s mostly an irrelevant moron. Now, I know he’s actually a politician in charge of stuff in a certain place, but on a national stage, the man is, I don’t think, ever going to have another shot at any sort of a job like president, vice president, what have you, and that we’re good. Our country is better off for that. But this is just so odd. And again, this is the side of the aisle that constantly says that they’re the good guys to their voters. And the voters walk around thinking that they deserve to be treated like the good guys. And the other side is bad, horrible people. They hope for the death of someone. All right. A couple other things out there. First, a judge has ruled that President Trump’s use of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles to push back on a lot of the rioting and horrible stuff that was going on there was illegal. The federal judge is in California, so not terribly surprising this decision that a judge there makes. I’m sure like anything else right now where Trump is losing in a courtroom, this will get escalated all the way to the Supreme Court, and then a definitive decision will be reached on this. But they’re saying that President Trump allowed the military to engage in a role that is very similar to law enforcement, and that they’re not allowed to do that without the express written consent from Congress. That’s essentially explaining to you what the legalese of all this is. Did members of the military do things that maybe law enforcement would also be doing and trying to create barricades and prevent people from doing horrible stuff? Yes. More or less, the answer to that is yes. Was it necessary to do that, though, seems to be the question that the Trump administration was trying to answer in its defense of itself, saying that this stuff was damaging federal property, that a lot of what they were doing was uniquely dangerous and to uphold the law of the president, which he does have the right to, you know, send assistance via our military. It will be interesting to see how this continues to be fought and debated in courtrooms, because I do think it’s fascinating. And I played this audio earlier, but darn it, let’s go ahead and play it again. Brandon Johnson in Chicago is the kind of moron who looks a gift in the mouth and says, I’m not taking this. How dare you try to help me out at all? Because uniquely horrible in Chicago is the amount of damage and danger and things that happen. There there are a whole lot of people who die every single day, every single weekend, a bunch of people who get shot every weekend in Chicago. And so if I were capable of having a president or anyone send me more assistance to do a job that my police officers either aren’t allowed to do or simply can’t do on their own, then I would say, thank you, sir. Please give me all the assistance you want, because my goal would be for the violence to stop. But a lot of the leaders in Chicago seem to behave as though violence is inevitable. It can’t be stopped, or they don’t want it stopped, whatever it might be. And so instead, they cheer and praise themselves for their failure and say how they needed to fight and get the people of the city of Chicago to fight with them to defy a president who might be able to create whole communities that are far less dangerous than they’ve been before. Here we go.
SPEAKER 01 :
No federal troops in the city of Chicago. No militarized force in the city of Chicago. We’re going to defend our democracy in the city of Chicago. We’re going to protect the humanity of every single person in the city of Chicago.
SPEAKER 20 :
Fifty three people shot this weekend protecting the humanity. You did such a great job of that. You’re crushing it every day. You could also just yell out loud. We’re going to have no safety in the city of Chicago because they’re not. And they’re not interested in that part. But that essentially is what this ruling and everything else is about. I don’t think Trump is trying to take military control of the entire country. I don’t think that’s occurring. That’s what the left is claiming is occurring. But the military isn’t being sent to places where there is no problem, where there is no violence and horrible things happening. And Washington, D.C. is absolutely a template of how the world can get better. Things can get safer just by having a more significant military presence. There’s one other thing I’ll tell you about this, and we’ll move on to one other quick story, and then we’ll take a break. But whenever you talk to local law enforcement in a place like Houston, Chicago, anywhere, and they’re trying to have sort of a public-appealed version of, or popular with the general public version of, we’re going to do more to fight crime, which makes them sound like superheroes. They usually say police presence is at the heart of that. Be in the community more. Interact with the community more. Try to show that you’re a regular person, but also, equally important, show that you’re there. That is something that law enforcement throughout the entire country and in all these cities that have problems will tell you is at the forefront of what they do to try to prevent it. They just want to be around. They want to be in the community and available and have the community trust them. So if something bad happens, someone does tell them who did it. These are all things they need to improve. If the military can provide for you the manpower to be more visible, that would lower the amount of crime that occurs. It’s just that simple. The visibility of those who protect and serve our community, whether they be police or, in this case, with need in specific places, the military, that alone causes less people who are going to do bad things to do the bad things. We should want that. We should desire that. I’m not saying that I want military control of every city throughout the country, which is what the left, again, will hear when I’m speaking into this microphone. What I am saying is that I’d like the violence to go away. I’d like a demonstration of the capability of preventing it to be something that more cities in the United States embrace. And then inevitably, you would stop using them. The military wouldn’t stay. They would be there for an amount of time. Things would get better. They’d leave. And if things get bad again, they come back. That’s how that works. And then they just demonstrate themselves to be a part of the solution that you don’t want to mess with if you’re somebody doing bad things. I don’t know why it has to be more complicated than that. And one more time, I’ll just say it for the cheap seats in the back so I can say it as many times as possible. If you claim that all of these things in our society right now are just slowly creating the Gestapo, slowly creating an overly dictatorship type of atmosphere for Trump and for Republicans and the country in which we live, you do not trust our military. You do not trust the human beings that are the men and women within our military. And you should, because I do profoundly, wholeheartedly, having known them and talked to them, a lot of them, not all of them, of course. And there’s no way that I think that the people in this country who choose to serve in that role would actually do something to the level of what they need to do to be the Gestapo. And that seems to be at the heart of this discussion. All right, we’ll take a break. The other story I wanted to mention just quickly, a kid in Houston, in Texas, where I live, was shot playing Ding Dong Ditch. He went up to a house, he rang the doorbell, he ran away. Someone emerged from the house and fired a weapon at him, fired a gun at him, and killed him by hitting him in the back as he was running away. This is uniquely sad, uniquely a demonstration of how lawless certain places have become in our society. And no, I don’t blame the gun. I don’t blame the weapon for this. I think a kid playing a prank is the kind of thing that you might wind up regretting, but not to this degree. Of course, this is horrible as far as that goes. But I just thought it was an interesting demonstration. You have a bunch of discussions throughout the entire country about how we make things safer. And right here in Houston, in Texas, you have someone that gets shot playing ding-dong-ditch. If our military were more visible in communities that have these sorts of problems, I don’t think a person emerges from their house as a kid is running away from the house with a gun to shoot and kill somebody. I think that that’s something you think twice about and don’t do. All right, quick break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

SPEAKER 17 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick 5.
SPEAKER 20 :
That’s right. It is The Dana Show. I am Craig Collins filling in. Time for the quick five. A Burning Man has horrible headlines that are coming out of this thing. One, this is just a weird one. A Burning Man attendee gives birth at festival after, quote, showing no signs of pregnancy. I feel like that’s got to be impossible. But they said she had no signs of pregnancy. And all of a sudden there is a baby that exists now that was born of all places at Burning Man. This one even worse, though. A body found in pool of blood at Burning Man. People have questions. They don’t have answers. This is not a thing I would attend because it seems like a lawless, horrible place. Meta created flirty chatbots of celebrities. Taylor Swift is among them. These are people you can interact with via AI that may seem like they’re overly into you. Very much unlike the actual celebrity if they met you and would not have this level of interest in you. This feels creepy. This feels like something they did intentionally. And honestly, the, you know, the Genesis story of Facebook being a place that Mark Zuckerberg created because he wanted a girl that didn’t want him back. It feels like it’s best demonstrated through this story of celebrities being overly flirty with people that are interacting with the AI version of them. Sounds like they’re going to get in trouble. And then finally, one last one in the world of weird. And this is also AI. In the next five years, people predict that you will be able to talk to dead loved ones via artificial intelligence, that no one will go to cemeteries anymore because if you want to interact with someone that you’ve lost, you’ll just fire up the AI version of them for a quick chat. That also sounds horrible. I am uniquely against this one. I have been uniquely against any version of this for a while now because it would be the hardest way to actually say, except the fact that someone in your life is no longer there. by pretending they exist via AI. This seems like it will be mentally very bad for society, and yet they keep blazing toward it and saying somehow it’s a good thing. And it seems uniquely, again, horrible. And then also not actually visiting a cemetery. That seems like the kind of thing that also helps you not admit the fact that the person that you cared about is no longer here, which is a byproduct of going to the cemetery, which I think is emotional, but it has value. Pretending things don’t happen when they do happen seems like a bad thing that our society keeps being more and more accepting of. All right, quick break. A lot more. Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

Burn a gun is, it’s a great option to diversify your weapons array. And it’s great, I think, for college kids that are going to be living on their own. And also, they want to be able to protect themselves, but they can’t, you know, for whatever, they can’t own a gun because that’s, you know, you’ve got federal law. But also for people who, you know, are over the age of 21, who may be because of local, municipal, private property restrictions, whatever, they are disarmed. And that makes it kind of dangerous when you consider the crime rate as of late. This is where Berna comes in. It’s a great way to diversify your weapons array. You have different calibers. You carry blades. Berna gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And when you look at regular stun guns, you only have one or two shots with those with Berna. With the CL particularly, which is their pistol, that’s their… smallest version, the CL stands for compact launcher, that has 15 round shot capacity per cartridge. So you’re not losing any of the deterrent power. You’re not losing anything. The SD is their most popular model. The CL, which is newer, is the smaller version of that. These are legal in all 50 states. There’s no permit required. There’s no background check. There’s no waiting period. There’s no fee other than the price of it, which is super affordable and can be sent right to your door. So it’s accessible for everybody. Check it out. It’s the CL stands for Compact Launcher at Burna.com slash Dana. That’s B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Dana. Burna, ready when you are.

SPEAKER 19 :
I’ve got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how’s it going today?
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I’m Dan Morgan. I’m an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan & Morgan, which is America’s largest injury law firm.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said $20 billion won. $20 billion is an insane number.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It’s actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.
SPEAKER 13 :
Awesome.
SPEAKER 19 :
So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?
SPEAKER 18 :
Probably the easiest way is dialing Pound Law. That’s Pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow.

SPEAKER 12 :
Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast. Your on-the-go guide for getting up to speed on today’s most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or your favorite podcast platform.
SPEAKER 20 :
This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A whole lot of stuff to talk about. I have a few very inappropriate ways that I wanted to intro this topic, and I’ve decided not to do it, much because this isn’t actually my show. It’s The Dana Show. I don’t want anyone to get mad at me and somehow blame it her. But Jasmine Crockett apparently has created an accent. or a black cent, whatever you want to call it, during her years of being in a political position of power in Texas. So much so that someone recently put up a video of the progression of the accent of one Jasmine Crockett, a black woman who is a representative in our country of the state of Texas, even though she doesn’t seem to represent most of what actually Texans believe politically. But here we go. Just for you and for our own edification, this is the difference between how she used to speak and how she does now.
SPEAKER 06 :
First of all, it’s good to see you in the new year.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin, now it looks like a little bit over a year ago, that I would be running for Congress.
SPEAKER 04 :
Maybe because these people, they are crazy because they always talk about how Christian they is. Yeah, I don’t know how many of them on that side are getting divorced because they’re getting caught up sleeping with their co-workers, staffers, interns, all the things. Yeah, you ain’t got to believe me.
SPEAKER 20 :
Just go Google it. Just do it. Again, I’m going to play it because I know part of that audio at the beginning was screwed up. One more time. The difference between how she used to sound and how she sounds now when she does an interview.
SPEAKER 05 :
First of all, it’s good to see you in the new year. You know, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin, now it looks like a little bit over a year ago, that I would be running for Congress.
SPEAKER 04 :
Maybe because these people, they are crazy because they always talk about how Christian they is. Yeah, I don’t know how many of them on that side are getting divorced because they’re getting caught up sleeping with their co-workers, staffers, interns.
SPEAKER 20 :
Here, I’m going to stop for a second. So this often happens in politics with white politicians for some reason, especially Democrats again. They have a different cadence, a different way of speaking when they speak to certain rooms. Hillary Clinton, probably one of the more famous ones, talking in front of, say, a church of black people, all of a sudden having a cadence that makes no sense. I understand, and yes, I know people who tell me they do this, that you have one version of speak when you’re in front of what you think is a group of people. This is more specific for anyone I’ve talked to that does this that’s black. when you think you’re putting on your white voice, etc. This is something I’ve heard before, something I know of, and something I’m sure Jasmine Crockett would say in response to this is what she was doing. She was putting her white voice on or whatever she calls it for news media and then speaking more normally, speaking the way she’d actually talk in the second clip. But what’s so crazy to me about that is the idea that politicians are so inauthentic that they’re proud of doing this. You know, whether it is the Hillary Clintons of the world or the Jasmine Crockett’s of the world, just be you run as whoever you are, be whoever you’re supposed to be and see how it goes. It is interesting that someone feels as though they can’t get elected for this reason or that reason. And then once they do get elected, apparently it magnifies their capability of staying in office to go ahead and behave differently. But it is a question being asked on social media, on the Internet today. Why so profoundly? has the voice and the, you know, just cadence of so many people changed. And again, this is more permanent with Jasmine Crockett. I think that she’s doing this all the time now. All right, let’s move on to this. This is a Southside Chicago resident talking about the horrible, crazy things you see as far as violence goes in the city. Democrats have rejected federal help. This young man, a black man, talking to local news, I think this was a Fox Digital report as well, about how bad things are and how crazy stuff is and how it might be nice to, you know, have some more help in preventing some of the awfulness here. Here we go.
SPEAKER 25 :
South side, I mean, it’s been rough. So you see a lot of crazy stuff. I mean, I remember being in the family dollar store that got robbed. You know, they kick in the door. They say, everybody get down. People are screaming. And I was only 12 years old, you know. And this kind of stuff, it happens all the time. But a lot of people who don’t live in these areas, they don’t get to see it.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, what is very true, and I lived in Chicago for a very long time, is that depending on what part of the city you live in, you might be unaware of the exact level of danger that exists. Yes, bad things happen throughout the entire city. Yes, you can be a victim of something anywhere. But uniquely on parts of the south and west side of that city, you could be in a family dollar where people in masks kick in the door and rob the entire place. What he said is not something that even remotely would be questioned in my mind is capable because of just how terrible things have gotten in some areas. And oftentimes, if cops in those areas are asked questions like why isn’t more happening to prevent this crime? Usually over the last few years, the biggest concern has been because everybody will turn on us. And he doesn’t just mean the people in the community. He means all the leaders. If a cop does what he thinks is good policing by actually fighting someone who is demonstrating to be a dangerous person. The chance of that narrative can be warped by media and the politicians would attack the cop for it before they even get their day in court to prove if what they did was right or wrong. It’s so high that there’s such a tremendous likelihood that people wouldn’t do that, that cops would just stay away from certain areas and decide that there’s no support making me capable of fighting this horrible thing that happens here or other places. But again, I just think it’s interesting that maybe the win in the back and forth discussion as to whether or not members of the National Guard need to be brought into places like the city of Chicago is actually talking about how bad things are. 50 plus people were shot this past weekend alone. So it does seem like the kind of thing where you might actually want to get some help. All right. Um, president Trump is upset with Vladimir Putin. Uh, he said the war makes no sense. He said people’s lives, I need to be, you know, saved here or protected. And that’s not happening. Uh, Putin continues to take aggressive action after talking to Trump about something that seems closer and closer to be an inevitable end out of the conflict. Uh, here’s what Trump said to Scott Jennings on his radio show. Uh,
SPEAKER 14 :
more I’m earlier this morning I’m very disappointed in him I had a great relationship a very disappointed thousands of people are dying they’re not Americans that are dying but they’re Russians and the Ukrainians and his thousands and it’s a war that makes no sense and it would have never started if I were president and that’s what bothers me even more because the election was totally rigged and it’s a shame we’ll see what happens but not very disappointed in President Putin, I can say that and will be doing something to help people live. You know, it’s not a question of Ukraine. It’s how people live. 7000 people are dying every single week. Soldiers mostly, but 7000 people. And if I can help to stop that, I think I have an obligation to do it.
SPEAKER 20 :
You know what’s so interesting about this, too? I said before that it’s a nice position for the current president of the United States to take on this. Nice is a weird word to use in a wartime conflict, but it’s true. It’s a valuable position, maybe is a better word to use, because it’s harder to argue that than we’re sending a lot of support to a foreign country in a foreign conflict, and we’d like to keep that money here at home. Trump is aware of that. He’s actually one of the people at the forefront of saying the U.S. needs to be involved in less things beyond our borders unless they somehow are being crossed by someone. Like, I don’t know all the people who come into this country illegally. That’s something we need to focus on at the border. But nonetheless, what I think is actually even more important about that position on this topic is how mainstream media will ignore it. Mainstream media needs Trump to be the boogeyman. the horrible person in every room, wherever he goes in, all of the time. And if Trump is saying something uniquely presidential, and saying that I just want to see less death occur in the world, and we have an ability to influence this because of the proximity we have to this conflict, I mean, our involvement in it has been pretty long going, as far as the amount of money and support we’ve sent to Ukraine, and the influence that Trump is trying to have over Russia that other presidents had no interest in, And trying to have by by speaking nice or being willing to meet in some way, shape or form. Although this is not nice, this is standing up to someone who’s doing things you don’t want to do. But again, there’s something that’s uniquely different than the narrative of who Trump is and the reality of what Trump is saying in this interview. And he has been saying for a while now and media refuses to take those things. They refuse to allow anyone that hates Trump, for whatever reason they hate him, the Trump derangement syndrome individuals out there, to ever hear him say something that is presidential like that. And there’s a lot of examples. There’s examples so often of these moments that You wonder to yourself how none of them even a little bit squeak through and get onto media in other places. And thank God for places like X, Twitter, for allowing this to be a thing that actually does happen now, where you can see more of this information than if you were, you know, if it was still in control of, controlled by people on the left. It’s just crazy. But yes, I agree with him that we have an ability and he seems to have almost like a A religious calling to try to stop this, stop this conflict and stop the death on both sides. And I know people get mad when he humanizes the Russian soldiers that are dying, not necessarily the decision making of the Russian politicians, but the simple individuals themselves who are fighting in this. But there’s something uniquely religious about that. Again, I say that as a Catholic. All right, let’s play this audio. This is comedian Graham Leanhan, excuse me, I don’t even know if I got that right, who was arrested at an airport like a terrorist, locked in a cell like a criminal for comedic social media posts about transgenderism. At least that’s the claim. Police confirmed five armed officers detained the 57-year-old over past posts of transgender issues, accusing him of inciting violence. This is out of the UK, of course, and this is a story that Fox News took a unique interest in earlier today. I want to play a little bit of that audio.
SPEAKER 03 :
Comedian Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport in the UK over past social media posts he made on transgender issues. The 57-year-old said that five armed officers arrested him after he flew into the UK from Arizona. In a statement, police said… the man in his 50s was arrested on suspicion of inciting violence this is in relation to posts on x holy crap being taken to police custody officers became concerned for his health and he was taken to hospital linehan responded to the arrest saying i was arrested at an airport like a terrorist locked in a cell like a criminal taken to the hospital because the stress nearly killed me and banned from speaking online all because i made jokes that upset some psychotic crossdressers. To me, this proves one thing beyond doubt. The UK has become a country that is hostile to freedom of speech.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yep, that sounds true. That sounds uniquely true. This is the world that Democrats here in this country would like us to barrel toward. I just wanted to play that as simply a warning. If it were anything else, it would be even more terrifying. But this person who made certain jokes, again, about crossdressing psychotic people, according to him, was treated as though he was trying to bomb a part of the UK. It’s uniquely scary, uniquely crazy, and the kind of thing that seems to be easy for a lot of society, not just parts of it, to push back on and say this is wrong. Of course, a whole lot of people won’t even talk about this story. either, because the best thing they can do to keep you an idiot that supports them, a useful moron, whatever it is the word is that you want to describe it as, or the phrase you want to use to describe it, is to just keep the truth from you as much as possible. And that should make you mad. That should convince you that you need to push harder to actually get the real information from these horrible, terrible people. And I say that definitively, like I’m usually kidding to some degree when I use that type of language. But this is uniquely horrible. All right. Quick break. A lot more.

SPEAKER 16 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 20 :
Oh, man, we got a lot of Florida men in the news this time. This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X on Twitter. Instagram scavenger hunt led a Florida man to drive 106 miles per hour to a car dealership that he could find $60 that was hidden there. This happens all the time. People go on social media. They claim to hide money in a unique spot. And the first person that gets there in this random spot in public gets the cash. So a Florida guy jumped in his vehicle when he saw the social media post and drove so fast to try to get there and then thought that that would be an excuse when he got pulled over by the cops. He’s like, no, you don’t get it. I don’t know if you’re following quote unquote social media influencer, but they had $60 at the car dealership. So I got to get there. Luckily for him, not only is he arrested, his car is impounded. So maybe he needs another vehicle and he’ll have to go and check out that dealership for other reasons. I’m not sure. But any or he at least needs the 60 bucks to get the car out of lockup. A Florida man was accused of regularly throwing glass bottles from his Miami high rise. He is now facing deadly missile charges. What’s uniquely interesting about this story is. outside of just the horribleness of it, of a guy who thinks it’s hilarious to launch glass bottles from a high-rise, is when people don’t understand the actual level of punishment for the thing they’re doing, and then they find out. That’s the part I like the most. There’s a viral video of someone trying to telecop They didn’t do anything wrong and leave me alone. The guy actually was, I think, driving a golf cart on public roadways. It’s not allowed. But then when you defy the cop and push back and whip out your camera and try to turn it into a whole thing, things get worse for you, not better. A lot of the time, meaning you commit more crimes. This guy who might not have assumed that his glass bottles would be thought of as deadly missiles is going to be in trouble for a lot of stuff. So Florida man who’s unique piece of crap does something that gets him much stronger punishments than you’d expect. And I’m OK for that. I think that’s great. Actually, in that vein, there’s another story about a guy who was arrested by police in Florida. During the process of being arrested, he slammed one of the police dogs to the ground and also head-butted a patrol car. Not even a human, he head-butted the car itself. But I’m okay and many others are okay with seeking the death penalty on this case because you don’t hurt dogs, you piece of crap, you jerk. But this guy is definitely going to be in a lot of trouble and a lot of things are going to happen as far as the level of crime he committed because he didn’t want to go quietly. And then finally, one last one that I thought was pretty interesting as far as a Florida man goes. And this feels out of all four of these, this one feels the most uniquely Florida just because of the degree to which this is crazy. A Florida guy got arrested because he was flying fentanyl into prison. He was using a drone to do it. He would take the drone from his house where he had the fentanyl apparently and fly it to the people that he was selling it to who were locked up in jail. And this somehow somebody cracked the case. Somebody figured out what was going on here. You can’t fly fentanyl into a prison undetected. Uh, but just crazy. Uh, the Florida man actually, I think was doing this in California. So he wasn’t actually even in Florida when he was doing it. Uh, but of course that Florida sticks hard that Florida stays, although California, not exactly a reasonable state in a lot of ways themselves. Uh, this does sound like the kind of thing that might just happen in a place like California too. Um, But my favorite part about this is when the guy was apprehended, I’m assuming he said, how’d you figure out it was me? How did you chase the drone, track the drone down to my location? Man, oh man, we thought we had the perfect crime going when you’re flying fentanyl into jail. All right, quick break, a lot more. Now he just, at least he doesn’t have to fly it. He’s there already. More coming up. Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

SPEAKER 20 :
This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A whole bunch of stuff to talk about out there in the world. I do think this is really interesting, though. Kristi Noem put up a post on social media demonstrating the significant difference between how she actually answered a question and how CBS chose to edit the answer from the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It feels like the kind of thing that media would claim they’d never do because they’re journalists and they care about the truth at all costs. And yet it’s exactly the kind of thing that media continues to do a whole lot of all the time, even after they give money to Trump and pay all kinds of lawsuit problems and settlements and whatnot. You wonder if this will rise to that occasion. But I do also love the fact that media continues to misunderstand things. the power of everything else out there that’s not them, like X, for example, that is owned by Elon Musk, which is a very good thing for us, and how easy it is for someone like a Kristi Noem to put out the truth after they put out a lie. Fact-checking media is, by and large, the absolute best thing that X can do and does do for society, and this is one way to do it because Kristi brought along the receipts. Here we go.
SPEAKER 27 :
The one thing that we will continue to do is to make sure that he doesn’t walk free in the United States of America.
SPEAKER 20 :
Okay, so once again, that is the entirety of the answer that CBS played. I’ll play it one more time to a question asked about Kilmar Abrego-Garcia to Kristi Noem.
SPEAKER 27 :
And the one thing that we will continue to do is to make sure that he doesn’t walk free in the United States of America.
SPEAKER 20 :
Now what’s weird is that wasn’t the answer she gave. Of course, here we go. Look, I know that those are allegations and that everything will be hashed out in a courtroom at some point somewhere. But that’s uniquely horrible to say that it’s potential that Kilmar Abrego Garcia had to be told by other human traffickers that he was being too horrible of a person, that he had to pull back a little bit. That is the kind of individual you definitely don’t want in this country. Of course, we all remember the interview that his wife gave while he was being detained, saying that she wanted him back. And then she was asked questions. I think it was by like Michael Strahan, of all people. as to what happened and why she would have filed any sort of lawsuits against him for being a wife-beater. And the wife decided not to answer that question, to try to avoid it and move on from it, which is uniquely horrifying, too. But anyway, the hero to the left, Kilmar Brego Garcia, hopefully at some point will be sent out of this country for good based on a whole lot of those reasons that CBS didn’t even want to air when talking to Kristi Noem. Why do an interview with someone… If you have no interest in what they’re saying, I know the answer to that question. You probably do, too. But nonetheless, it’s just sort of another crazy example. And we’re too far along now in society. We’re too advanced for that same game to keep working. You can go find a place where someone puts the real information out there very easily. Another story that’s gaining a lot of traction, Robert Mueller, of course, famous for the Trump-Russia investigation stuff as the special prosecutor. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. This is the kind of thing that’s not uniquely surprising, although I think some people are going to wonder about the convenience, and I know I say that in a weird way, the disease itself certainly not convenient, but the convenience of being incapable of testifying and in front of any sort of political committee looking for information about the Russia investigation. Although Mueller did testify years ago to something and seemed to be someone who was uniquely disoriented then. And just a little bit after, I think he had done that. I think he testified in like 2019. And then by 2021, the claim is that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and now he is incapable of responding to a subpoena to give us more information about the uniqueness of that case. entire thing. Here’s what I think the good news is in a bad news story, because this is not a good news story. I don’t think that Mueller was actually in charge. I think that he was used as sort of a puppet, which the left loves to do for a whole lot of people that it puts in position to power, like, say, the former president of the United States and how puppety he was during that role in the auto pens actual control and whoever was in control of the auto pens control of our country. So I do believe that the special committees can still get to the truth on this. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee can still find out exactly what happened, but without Mueller’s direct involvement. Now, again, I will admit that there’s a part of me that thinks that this is a lie, that they’re doing it to protect someone from testifying when they would uniquely be maybe incapable of lying as opposed to incapable of testifying. But Parkinson’s, of course, is a horrible thing. So I err on the side of believing that we can still find the truth without that one voice being involved. But it is interesting and it does certainly beg the question of if the fix is in or not. I wouldn’t blame you for asking it, as I’m sort of asking it too. Another story out there, just kind of rapid firing some of the bigger things in news today. A plane carrying EU’s top leader was targeted by GPS jamming. The belief by the EU is that this actually was something that Russia did. When you have the president of the EU on a plane and she’s trying to land and she’s been an outspoken advocate for Ukraine and certainly a critic of Russia. And then all of a sudden the GPS gets jammed and the pilots actually had to land the plane with paper maps. which I kind of find cool. Part of me is really impressed and actually very grateful that parts of our society can still do things the way that we all used to do them before all the technology made it so easy for you to drive anywhere with GPS and you not pay attention to anything. Thank God the people in this airplane were capable of doing stuff the normal way. And actually, I have a story that I might talk about a little bit later where if you’re under 30 years old, your ability to read a clock that’s not digital is horrendous. So those two things going together make me feel very glad that this crew was able to land this plane. Not that I expected otherwise, but you never know. But the fact that the EU is now blaming Russia, Russia is saying that they’re not involved, is interesting. Putin is the kind of person that likes to make people disappear who disagree with him, whether that’s people in his country or people in other places. So I would not put this past Russia. I would not put anything past Russia. And I think that’s part of the value in talking about things like this and demonstrating what the president may or may not do in order to get Russia to actually live up to the things it’s been offering Russia. Trump that it will do. I’ll play some audio a little bit later on of how Trump has said he’s disappointed in the actions Russia has taken most recently to attack Ukraine or in general after conversations that he’s had with Putin all these times where he believes something’s going to happen and it continues to not happen. It makes it harder to get to a point of peace and also why Trump is uniquely focused on doing that, which I thought was interesting. Also, this story I do love this. Trump has demanded that drug companies release data on COVID vaccines to the general public. This is to demonstrate not only the amount of people who say had a adverse reaction to the vaccine, those who are vaccine injured, but also just in general to give us the amount of information and the amount of lies that were told. The CDC, unhappy with some of the things that’s happening here with Trump, Look, I’ll say it this way, the easiest way I can say it. When you vote someone into a position of power that is all the things that President Trump is, someone who’s outspoken in a way that people say is unpresidential, someone who behaves seeming to demonstrate that he’ll go after anybody. It’s not sacred if you’re someone who supported him or not in the past. If you’re someone who’s making him mad now, he will say things negative about you. If you’re someone that’s now doing what he wants, he’ll also flip the script and be nicer. Marco Rubio is often given compliments from President Trump. Now, that was not always the case between those two men. But I digress. When you put someone in a position of power, this is what you want. And some on the left are going to say this is a distraction. This is, you know, playing to his base and getting his base to forget about any of the controversies that the left is trying to create around Trump. But I’ll tell you that, like, I want this. Very much. I want all the transparency and information to be more publicly available. There has been some. There are some court cases that give us unique insights into just how failed some of the vaccines were, how much more dangerous than beneficial they were to a lot of Americans. But people aren’t paying attention to it. People aren’t seeing it for what it should be. So getting more transparency, some more eyeballs are on it would be a good thing. I will tell you, though, there’s a lot of data that demonstrates that, you know, the vaccine was unnecessary for a vast majority of Americans, people that were either already immune because they had some sort of interaction with covid. And remember, they told you that you could get covid without any symptoms at all, which was always a weird thing for them to say. But it was true. At least they claimed it was true. But even more so than that. And now the way that the vaccine suggestions work is, If you’re of a certain age and if you’re relatively healthy, getting the vaccine put you in more danger than not getting it. And they know that. And Trump knows that. And a whole lot of other people know that. And we’re just trying to make them say it out loud differently than they’ve said it before. So that would be a very good thing. Finally, one last stupid topic out there. Probably the least news of all the news things, but I can’t help but mention it. Dean Cain, the actor who at one time played Superman in The Adventures of Lois and Clark, did wind up having a bit of an interaction, a back and forth with the governor’s office, press office, on X on Twitter for Gavin Newsom. Dean Cain posted a photo where it seemed like he had hurt his arm. Then Gavin Newsom’s press office posted something saying that it turns out arresting innocent Latino kids and farm workers is harder than playing Superman, which is weird on multiple levels. One, because ICE is actually only arresting people who are not innocent, but in fact, breaking the law by being here in this country, which is a crime. I don’t know how to say that differently. Anyway, and they’re probably doing other stuff too. Dean responded back by saying, hysterical gaslighting from these idiots. Injury had nothing to do with ICE duties, just a simple home mishap. What frauds and phonies, et cetera, et cetera. This is amazing. And the fight keeps going back and forth. The fight picked with Dean Cain. But you know what’s also interesting to me? He’s not exactly a working actor right now. I’m not trying to bash a Dean Gain, but he’s not a guy who’s doing a lot of things. So it might not be so bad for him that he’s getting this level of spotlight through his relationship with ICE or anything else. It seems to actually somewhat be putting him back in the minds of a lot of people who remember him fondly from his role as Superman in a TV show that I had to ask if I could stay up late to watch because that’s a show I remember as a kid. All right. Quick break. A lot coming up. This is Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

SPEAKER 19 :
I’ve got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how’s it going today?
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I’m Dan Morgan. I’m an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan & Morgan, which is America’s largest injury law firm.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said $20 billion won. $20 billion is an insane number.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It’s actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome.
SPEAKER 19 :
So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?
SPEAKER 18 :
Probably the easiest way is dialing Pound Law. That’s Pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7, 365.
SPEAKER 19 :
Wow. Dan Morgan from Morgan & Morgan, America’s large injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show.
SPEAKER 18 :
Thanks for having me. Visit ForThePeople.com for an office near you.
SPEAKER 17 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick 5.
SPEAKER 20 :
That’s right. It is time for the Quick Five. This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A guy saved a little kid from a monorail at Disney. The guy in Pennsylvania climbed onto the monorail at Hershey Park. Excuse me. I thought it was at Disney. It’s at a different theme park. On Saturday and saved a little kid. I have audio of this. Just craziness of this. The video is all over social media. Very viral. And the video unfortunately says it’s at Disney. But here we go.
SPEAKER 07 :
Like the dad instincts kicked in and then it was just trying to figure things out and how to get up there as fast as possible. Absolute relief and even I could feel it in him the relief as soon as he got into my arms and thank goodness he came straight into my arms and it went nice and simply in that sense. They reached out to me this morning so we were able to talk obviously a lot of thanks and everything.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, he’s talking about the parents reaching out to him. The crazy part of the video, if you watch it, the little kid somehow gets up on the monorail, has no idea where to go, and a bunch of people are standing on the ground just yelling at him all different directions, like go back, go forward. They don’t know where the train is at. They’re worried. And this dude climbed onto the top of, I think, a food building and then climbed onto the monorail to get him down. Way better decision than anyone who was yelling stuff from the ground to a child who definitely seems to have gotten himself Epically lost, but thank God everybody’s okay, everything’s fine, and the parents are uniquely grateful. Not exactly great parents, at least that might be the belief of a lot of people. I know kids can get lost occasionally, but getting lost to that level of degree at least would make you question, how’d that happen? Where’d everybody go in that situation? All right. Another thing I mentioned this earlier, but there is audio to play as well. The aunt of a woman who gave birth at Burning Man, a Utah woman who didn’t know she was pregnant. According to the stories, the woman’s name who gave birth is Kayla. You might ask yourself the question, how does someone not know they’re pregnant? She’s a bigger lady. So that’s one of the reasons, I guess, whether or not it was also a very smooth pregnancy up to the moment where you’re waking up in the morning. Giving birth is probably also going to be a yes. But here is the aunt. Her name is Lacey. Talking about the craziness of this, of someone going to Burning Man unaware that they’re pregnant and coming back with a baby.
SPEAKER 08 :
This baby makes me an aunt. Very, very, very surprising. My brother and his wife Kayla, this was their first time to Burning Man. Kayla woke up, wasn’t feeling great. My brother Casey ran out and said, I need help. Within minutes they had like an OBGYN in there in his underwear helping. They had so many of the right people so close. There were no signs of pregnancy here at the lake the weekend before. She was in a swimming suit. She did not look pregnant.
SPEAKER 20 :
Okay, again, the trouble here is the unique build of the human being to begin with, and how apparent it would be that there’s a baby in that human, because a lot of people would look pregnant at nine months. I’m not trying to be a jerk. I know the left is going to get mad at me saying this part out loud, but you were asking it to yourself. You were saying it, I’m sure. How do you not know you’re pregnant? That’s how. One last one that’s sort of ridiculous out there. A poll found that people under 30 are terrible at reading an old school clock. Not a digital, but an analog clock. Most Gen Zers, like 60% of Gen Zers, say they have no idea what it says. which is bad for society. By the way, 95% of boomers can read an analog clock without any issue whatsoever because darn it, it’s a basic human thing that we should all be good at. 80% of Gen Xers say they can do it instantly, which is lower than I hoped it would be. Millennials not doing great. Gen Z doing even worse. It’s a bad time. For my generation, I’m a millennial, excuse me, not Gen Z, or anyone else who’s younger. Just put your watch to the analog function if you have a digital watch and force yourself to figure it out, people. We need basic skills in humanity. All right, quick break. A lot more.

SPEAKER 20 :
This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A lot of stuff out there to talk about. DLash, DanaLashRadio, and X on Twitter to stay connected to her. At RadioCraigC, if you want to do me a favor and make me look a little more popular than I currently do, out of my 400-plus fans on my Twitter page, my X page. that I never use, at Radio Craig C, if you want me to feel just a little bit better about myself. No, I’m kidding. Let’s do this. That was a weird way to do that. This is a doctor that fears that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may change the hepatitis B vaccine recommendations for newborns. This individual, of course, is also someone who was recently fired as a monkeypox czar because he sounds insane in some of the things he says, but he was on ABC this week. Here’s part of his concerns.
SPEAKER 09 :
I mean, from my vantage point as a doctor who’s taken the Hippocratic Oath, I only see harm coming. I may be wrong, but based on what I’m seeing, based on what I’ve heard with the new members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices or ACIP, they’re really moving in an ideologic direction where they want to see the undoing of vaccination. They do want to see the undoing of mRNA vaccination. They have a very specific target on COVID. but I do fear that they have other things that they are going to be working on. Hepatitis B vaccine is on the agenda for the meeting in September. I predict that what they’re going to do is try to change the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine so that kids don’t get it when they’re born. So if you have a mother who is well connected to care, you know her hepatitis B status, that may not matter very much. But if you have a mother who’s not gone to prenatal care, who comes in to deliver, we have one bite at that apple so that child gets that important hepatitis B vaccine.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, I don’t know. It’s a weird sell to the American people to say that babies need an STD shot and that you’re saying that you might be wrong. I do like that at the beginning. I might be wrong, but I also might not be wrong about what I’m saying. And now I’m going to tell you how Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is killing babies because essentially that’s what he’s saying in some way, shape or form, whether it’s actually the case, whether we should be loaded up with vaccines the minute we pop out of the womb. It’s a good question to consider. And I love the fact that way before they actually say what they’re going to do, simply when they’re investigating whether or not they should do certain things, what the byproduct, what the risk is versus the reward of making this medical decision or that medical decision at any point in a person’s life, all of that, before they actually get to the end result of the path they’re going down, the medical community is up in arms and saying how horrible this would be. If that committee figures out that this specific vaccine is increasing the likelihood of a bunch of bad things, there’s a really good shot that they also don’t do it. And by the way, I think I’m not sure about this. You could test a mother before they give birth for hepatitis B to know for sure if they have it. I feel like that’s a thing that could happen. at some point. And then you’d be like, okay, now we know the answer to this. So we know whether or not we need to give this STD medicine to a baby. Again, within the context of their argument. And I’m certainly not an expert in any of this. So I’m definitely aware that greater minds than mine will look into all of it. But I’m happy that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in the position of power he’s in, is not taking unilateral control without asking experts to be in a room. And here’s what actually matters. I know expert is such a stupid word in the society we live in now. I know Dana would agree with me in saying that. But here’s what’s interesting. When the left likes the well-educated people, that might be a better term than expert for their opinions, when they agree with the opinions that these people who have a resume to claim to be an expert have. they do talk about them like they’re the definitive opinion on any topic, especially in the world of medicine. But when there’s other doctors who also have really fancy degrees, really good resumes on paper, say they have a different opinion based on all of their training, the left calls these people quacks and insane morons and idiots. And it’s amazing to watch that. Because if the decision to be made by a committee of medical experts, you know, gathered by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is aligned with the things that the left likes, they would refer to them as experts. If they’re going to be any other way, then these are the crazy people that somehow this administration recruited. But everybody seems to have different opinions on a whole lot of things, even with advanced degrees. So I digress. I just think it’s amazing that they pick and choose which ones they like to believe in. All right. This is funny to me, even though maybe it shouldn’t be as funny as it is. Jasmine Crockett has apparently developed a very ghetto accent is what people are calling it. Why she did this, I don’t know. Jasmine Crockett, of course, is a black woman who is a representative out of Texas. So if you think that this is a version of someone actually, say, toning down their type of speech, when they’re in public, and then eventually letting the real version of themselves come out, that’s fine. I wonder why someone has to be that inauthentic when running for a position in politics in general. Or it’s the opposite. It’s a thing that people like Hillary Clinton got in trouble for. Even Barack Obama was said to amp up the way in which he spoke to certain groups based on their ethnicity, which it’s just so odd. It seems so counter what someone would do if they were proud of who they actually were. You know, if Obama didn’t speak the way publicly that he spoke to the United States when he won the office of president, he seemed to then be ashamed of who he actually is if he had some different cadence. I’m not saying he did. I’m not saying Crockett is authentically sounding like herself finally in the new version. I just think it’s such a strange and weird phenomenon that happens so often in this place, because you would think I would think that it would be more powerful if you’re someone who has a different way of speaking to be that person all the time. It would be a calling card to your authenticity as a politician, something that not many politicians can claim to be on any given day. But here we go.
SPEAKER 06 :
First of all, it’s good to see you in the new year.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin, now it looks like a little bit over a year ago, that I would be running for Congress.
SPEAKER 20 :
No one could have told me that. Now let’s hear the crazier version of this speech.
SPEAKER 04 :
Because these people, they are crazy because they always talk about how Christian they is. Yeah, I don’t know how many of them on that side are getting divorced because they’re getting caught up sleeping with their co-workers, staffers, interns, all the things. Yeah, you ain’t got to believe me. Just go Google.
SPEAKER 20 :
Go Google. You’ll find out all this stuff. They is and whatnot. I don’t understand this. Really, truthfully, here’s the biggest problem I have with this version of speech. You know, when people don’t do it all the time and then occasionally do it. I do think that a byproduct of people who authentically sound like this, and I’m not saying what you look like, by the way, I’ve met white people with challenges in the world of how they understand or use the English language compared to the right way to use it. I myself might even at times be a person who makes mistakes. But when you do that and you do it authentically, that’s really who you are. You know what I mean? Like that’s that’s actually you when you pretend to do it, when you know the right way to form a sentence and where is is supposed to go and what sentences it is supposed to be in. And you don’t do it correctly. You’re patronizing people who speak differently. You’re not being yourself. You’re being a strange version of a person that you are not that you think will be more popular with the people around you. So it’s kind of uniquely racist. Now, it’s hard to call a black woman racist. So I’m not necessarily doing that about Jasmine Crockett. But it is the kind of thing that if you see like a Hillary Clinton walk into a room, as she has done before, and speak into a microphone that’s in a place where a bunch of black people are and her grammar falls apart, it is the kind of thing that you walk out scratching your head going like, That’s kind of racist, or at least that’s how woke mainstream media would refer to that. Again, I’m not actually trying to pull the race card. I want to be definitively clear about this, that I think that this is a joke, and I’m not being seriously up in arms angry about some of this. I’m sure if I’m ever to go viral for something like this, they’ll take out the part where I explained the humor of what I was trying to do. But nonetheless, I don’t care. I just find it so amusing that politicians can be so inauthentic, so consistently, so easily detectably and then think they did a good job. But so how does Jasmine Crockett actually sound as a question that seems to deserve to be asked right now? Trump multiple times has called her a very dumb person, not a very smart human. And I just don’t get it. I truthfully don’t. And maybe some individuals based on their race, as controversial as it is to say this, might feel that they’re immune to this type of criticism. Jasmine Crockett, Barack Obama again. Some people might feel like, how dare you criticize me? I’m a black person. You can’t possibly say that about me. If you sound different in different rooms, I’m going to ask why. That’s a basic question. One other thing, because I know the answer that might come from people in my own life that I know that do this, that I know that have done this before. They might say that they’re trying to be more appealing to white people in how they speak when they’re putting on their, quote, white voice. This is something I’ve been told before. I’ve been told like, oh, yeah, no, I have to do that in that crowd in that moment because it’s helpful to me. Again, this is where I contend that the unique benefit of sounding like yourself all the time, of being authentically you, whoever you are, is something that Trump has shown benefits him. President Trump does not speak like other people. He definitely goes on rants where you start off on one topic and you’re pretty unsure how you got to a very different topic within a subset of minutes. But it works. for the president. And it’s the kind of thing that most people hear. You know, he stands in front of… Actually, I love this. Here’s the best example I’ll use for this. It is so weird to compare the black accent of a black politician in Jasmine Crockett to the, you know, rants that President Trump does. But I promise it makes sense. I’m going to try very hard to make it make sense. I saw a Jon Stewart clip on social media where he complained that during an announcement about, say, an NFL thing or the recent World Cup stuff, that Trump went on other tangents. He’s talking about other topics, whether it’s reopening Alcatraz, whatever it might be. There’s these other discussions that Trump brings up in a room of people who are just waiting for him to announce something else. That is unique to that person. That is something that’s incredibly rare to see a politician do for that much time. Like, to not give a crap at all about all the people around him and answer whatever questions media is flinging his direction. And what I find interesting about that is that’s when you walk away knowing that he’s the kind of person who is the same in both private and public. And I think if there’s one thing, and there’s not, but if we had to say there was, that made Trump popular with his base or with a whole lot of people in this country, it’s that simple belief that he’s the same person behind closed doors that he is publicly, to a degree, to a large degree, I should say, and that that’s incredibly rare in politics. And Jasmine Crockett, at the very least, is outing herself as another absolute phony of a human being and maybe doing quite a bit more. But all right, we’ll take one last break. We’ll come back. We’ll do some silly stuff. I’ll try not to get canceled over my racial thoughts. I don’t care. And again, remember, this is not the Dana show herself. I am a guest host filling in that you can point all your anger at. Dana will be back next week to take over her very popular, very awesome radio show. All right. Quick break. A lot more.

So you can finally wave goodbye to that old car with the mysterious dashboard rattle and the tape holding that bumper together.

I’ve got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how’s it going today?
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I’m Dan Morgan. I’m an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan & Morgan, which is America’s largest injury law firm.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said $20 billion won. $20 billion is an insane number.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It’s actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome.
SPEAKER 19 :
So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?
SPEAKER 18 :
Probably the easiest way is dialing Pound Law. That’s Pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow.
SPEAKER 19 :

Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of not-so-serious. On YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 20 :
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about. DLash, DanaLash, Radio on X on Twitter. At Radio Craig C is my sad excuse for a social media page if you want to go to it. I continue to talk about it for some reason. Okay, let’s move on. Disney has a set of codes that you never want to hear over a walkie-talkie because that means something bad is going on. This was confirmed via a Reddit post on Today I Learned, a place on Reddit where Disney employees went to reveal what a bunch of these codes mean. It started off because someone found out that the current code, White Powder Alert, means that someone decided to spread ashes at Disneyland or Disney World, which is uniquely awful as far as the thing goes. A custodian who actually worked at Disney for a long time jumped in to say that he remembered that being a code grandma. which might have been changed because it’s a tad dark or pretty dark. But he also said that you shouldn’t do this, spread ashes at Disney, because what happens is they shut down a ride. They send in custodians with hazmat suits on. So him, they have a little vacuum. They vacuum everything up and then they actually throw it out. So it ends up in a trash can, which is where he apologizes to grandma as he’s throwing the stuff out because that’s all that Disney can do with it. So his simple advice was do not dump ashes at Disney. It’s not a good move. They do not give you permission to do it. You’re on camera all the time. Bad things are going to happen. This custodian also put other codes out there. Code V means somebody threw up. Code H, which is a weird term for it, is somebody went number two. Code U is that number one situation you’re expecting. Code BBP is a blood code, which is also an odd one. And then finally, other people were saying just the amount of things that you see happen at Disney, you’d be shocked at how terrible this job is compared to what you think it is. And if someone calls you their most appreciated or most treasured guest, it usually means they’re trying to radio that you’re a huge… Well, a word I can’t say on the radio, and that you need to be taken out of the park. So if they’re like, I need help with our most treasured guest… This is bad. This is a bad moment for you and for whatever happened between you and this employee at Disney. All right. Another thing out there I saw just rapid fire to end the show. Real IDs are being rejected at airports. TSA is complaining about, quote, sporadic scanning issues that are making some real IDs not valuable for travel. The way they told us they would be. This is something that would frustrate a lot of people. You have your ID. You went through all the hoops that you didn’t want to go through to turn it into a real ID. And you still can’t fly. And you’re being told you can’t fly. That’s uniquely a bad thing. So they probably need to figure this out or just make real ID something we never, ever have to get in any scenario whatsoever if they’re going to have these unique challenges. Because, well, darn it, that sounds terrible. I do have a real ID. That’s because I recently moved from Illinois to Texas. That’s the only version they offered me. But it’s fine. I hope it works when I travel places, although I’ll bring the passport and everything else just to be sure. Influencers share, quote, scary, violent simulation on why you should brace position before a plane crash. Hope nobody has to go through this. That’s a headline on The New York Post. And it’s a crazy video that a social media influencer put up with, I think, a lot of A.I. help to show what would happen if you don’t follow the rules and your plane crashes. Now, even if you follow all the rules in your plane crashes, unfortunately, I think that it might not end well for you still. Terrible things may still happen. So it’s just a uniquely dark, uniquely weird video. But it went viral on social media. This was after some real plane crashes caused people to be curious about this, which is also strange. But it demonstrates one thing to me. You can go viral for any reason online. And even though some things I would think would be the kind of stuff I would not want to show, I would not want to do that. I would not want to dive into that world. But darn it, that can all make you money. Going viral is all about the dollar. So this guy simulated via AI what would happen to your body if your plane crashed while you were on it. And not good is the end result there. I could have told you all that and saved you watching the creepy, realistic-looking video of bad things. Finally, jaded Gen Zers are ditching the career ladder for the career lily pad. This is where you jump from one company to another company by finding a job that is much better at the new company with the amount of qualifications and experience you had from the old company. It’s also something that a whole lot of people have done for a very long time, but they’re calling it the career lily pad instead of the career ladder because climbing upward in a company is no longer realistic, according to Gen Z. All right, that’s it. That’s the show. Thrilled to be with you as always. Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.
