Trump’s MSG Rally Rocks NYC, The Left’s Meltdown, and Kamala’s 100-Day Plans

This is an automatically generated transcript. Please note that complete accuracy is not guaranteed.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with you. Bunch of stuff to talk about on a Monday. One of the bigger things, though, of course, is the hate rally that everyone claims that Donald Trump threw at Madison Square Garden.

Okay, a couple things actually. First, I’m really impressed that that many people showed up in New York City, because I don’t know when, and it isn’t recent. It’s been a while that we’ve known that Trump has this kind of pull in in New York. But I know at some point in the past people would have doubted that he could fill a Madison Square garden, and not because of his popularity throughout the country, because of his popularity in New York City, where a whole bunch of jurors were found that could convict him of all kinds of crazy stuff.

But nonetheless, as I say that things went pretty well, there was one other report all over social media before I hit play on this nuts AOC audio, but there was a report that the concession stands stayed closed until Trump took the stage, which is insane. Most people should understand that that is a very strategic move. If it did happen, I can’t totally confirm that, but it seems that it did. There’s a bunch of people that were saying that and showing closed concession stands.

But nonetheless, as I say that, the crazy thing about this is that, of course it makes it look like people are leaving. And that’s part of the democratic narrative. Now, but let’s go ahead and pit play on MSNBC asking Alexandria Ocassio Cortes all about the hate rally in New York City. So, Congressman, last night, right here in New York City, your hometown, Donald Trump held a packed rally at Masasbuare Garden and a number of speakers used downright racist and offensive language, no more so than the so called comedian who said that Puerto Rico was an island of garbage.

Can you just give us your reaction to what you heard last night, just hours and hours of frankly hate and what, frankly, how it could electrify this electorate. Well, there’s a couple of things. Old on IOC I don’t care. I’m going to jump in for a sec.

What I love about that question? And you probably noticed it as I played it is it ignores any version of anything that was said that wasn’t categorized as hate by MSNBC. They essentially said that every moment, every second, it was spewing hatred. The attempt to continue to try to demonstrate that Trump is Hitler or Trump is whoever you want him to be on the left is disgusting and it’s gotten to a point where it’s almost desperate in how they’re doing it. But they claim that the Madison Square Garden, New York City version of a rally was horrible and terrible, and everything said was the worst thing you’ve ever heard out of any human being in the history of our country.

Right now, go ahead, AOC, what do you. Think this was not? This was a hate rally. This was not just a presidential rally. This was also not just a campaign rally.

I think it’s very important for people to understand that these are many January sixth rallies. These are many Stop the Steel rallies. These are rallies to climb an electorate into rejecting the results of an election if it doesn’t go the way that they. Want, because hurt everybody.

Donald Trump and that entire cadre of people up on that stage, Stephen Miller, etc. Do not respect the law of these. They hate you, or they hate somebody, or something’s going on. I don’t even know what it is.

This is amazing. I’ll play for you moments of the rally as we go through today, and I promise that it’s not going to be anything like what you’re hearing. The description is on the left. But this is the only way they believe they can win.

You know that, I know that everyone seems to know that, even the Democrats know that in how they approach these topics, they can win by telling you what their platforms are, if they’ll be good for you or for us, or for anyone, because they won’t. And we know that you don’t even have the ability if you’re Kamala Harris. As amazing as this is to say out loud that Biden has done a bad job, because she should be able to say that. Excuse me if she’s actually going to run on the turn the page narrative.

The let’s go ahead and move on to this other place. And by the way, Michelle Obama was out there saying certain things. Got to stop talking right now. Michelle Obama is out there doing her thing and saying once again that we might miss our opportunity to not turn the page.

What if so many Americans are just horrified with how bad things went for the last few years. What if it has very little to do with Trump? And I’m not saying that, although I do believe there are voters that actually would fall under that category, that they’re voting against the policies of the last few years as opposed to in favor of the current candidate. I don’t know how many people that would be, but I’m saying they exist. And what’s funny is Democrats obliterate the notion that could even be a possibility that they couldn’t have possibly failed this bad because the way they behave to not even tell you what they’re going to do is arrogant.

It’s it’s as if, of course, we’re going to do a good job if you give us a chance. How dare anybody say anything else? Oh and by the way, I guess this last thing I can say on this, the poll numbers. They’re right now very much in benefit of Donald Trump. MSNBC has reported on this, many other organizations have that polls continue to creep closer and closer to not even being a fifty to fifty.

But a Trump is beating Harris version of a demonstration in swing states, in a bunch of places. And what’s significant about that is Trump always outdes his poll numbers. It doesn’t matter necessarily in my opinion what the polls say going in, and certainly in Trump’s opinion and a lot of other people’s opinion. And there’s some audio we can play from at some point, we’ll play from his interview and down on Joe Rogan’s show.

But there were so many moments where Trump seems to demonstrate to a whole lot of people that he’s different than whatever the narrative or the things they’re saying about him are. And then the only thing that the Democrats have is to continue to go the other way. It’s just it’s amusing at this point. It doesn’t have to be something that amuses everyone, but it amuses me at very least.

All Right, you know what, I’ll play a little bit of Trump audio and then we’ll go ahead and move on from that, because I do want to play at least this and I’m. Here by calling for the death penalty for any migrant that kills an American citizen or a law inforce officer. Okay, now I want to stop that right there. There was a time in our society, because this is probably one of the only moments where people are going to say, see how much hate this is, See how horrible and terrible this is.

There was a time in our society where being pro cop was normal, and if someone hurt a cop, if someone took a cop life, if a bad guy did that, the world in which we live, in the country in which we have, would rally together and say how wrong and disgusting that is. It still happens within certain communities, but it’s no longer a thing that exists within the totality of our country. So when Trump starts his statement by saying that he would hurt or fight for the death penalty for people who took the lives of our police officers, that shouldn’t be as radical as it sounds. Because of the premise of the statement.

I don’t know how to say this differently, so I’m just gonna say it like this. He’s not saying that I want the death penalty against people who are here illegally, or want the death penalty against people who are from other countries that are in the country legally. Of course he’s not saying those things. The Left will pretend that that’s what he’s saying, that he’s so hateful that he wants to kill people that don’t look like him.

But what he’s saying he wants to do is have people punished to a different letter of the law if they take the lives of cops. Now, I don’t think that’s anywhere near his radical If you said it that way, to be honest, it’s kind of funny. I meant to move on, and I guess I can’t. When you hear jd Vance say some of the same things that Trump says, media digests it better.

They still hate him, they still say he’s a terrible guy and all this other stuff. But the funny thing about that vice presidential debate is very often you heard people say that jd Vance did a good job of disguising the bad person he is in looking nice. And that’s very different than what they say about Trump. They say that Trump is very willingly a jerk I guess, or whatever it is, it gets set out there.

But what I think is really fascinating about that is if you articulate the idea differently, as I just tried to do with Trump’s statement about the death penalty on people that hurt cops, then more people wind up agreeing with it, or more people wind up being incapable of being tricked by certain places in media to think it’s worse than it is. It’s just the way it’s articulated. But honestly, that’s the big pull of the person. So Trump obviously won’t change any of that anytime soon.

I just think it’s interesting because you get these little snippets played at a context or played in whatever way that the mainstream media people want them to be played, or the left leaning media people want them to be played, and you think to yourself, man, I don’t think that’s actually what he intended to say. If you watched even two other seconds of it. I don’t want to play one last thing and then we’ll take our first break. This is Kamala Harris.

She’s talking about Project twenty twenty five, which is, of course the other very big scary thing that you’re not even supposed to understand. They don’t tell you all of the pieces of Project twenty twenty five. They just tell you little snippets that are supposed to be the worst thing. But I do like this a lot, so here, let’s play this five.

He says, that is not his campaign plan. As you know, I am a former prosecutor. His DNA is all over it, all over it is running mate roads forward to gross to the book of the author of Project twenty twenty five. I believe Donald Trump’s name appears at least three hundred times in Project twenty twenty five.

And it is a blueprint, a detailed blueprint that is about the danger and the detail, the detail Donald Trump and his allies. The details are important, according to the Vice president. Yeah, also really gross for her to reference how much DNA was a part of what she used to do in the past. I don’t really want to know any more about that.

I’ve heard some of the stories, not all of them about her work as a prosecutor, although her work trying to get to that job. Nonetheless, what I will say about this is it’s just sort of amazing for someone to reiterate multiple times in a very short answer, details, details, pay attention to the details, and she gives you none of her own. And not only that, but she’s even leaving very few details out there for you to understand. When it comes to Project twenty twenty five, which is not Trump’s, it’s the Heritage Foundations.

They put one out every single time, every single election, i should say, and they don’t get followed to the t. There’s a lot of times where some of the things in there wind up being thought of as good ideas and other people use them, and there’s times where there’s ideas that aren’t used at all. That’s a long running thing, the Heritage Foundation. I’ll just say this for anyone who doesn’t know, has been putting out their version of a hoped agenda for whoever the eventual Republican winner of an election is.

They’ve been doing this for a long time. This is not a Trump thing. It existed long before Trump and it’ll exist long after Trump. All right, we’ll take our first break.

We got a lot to get to. This is Creig Collins filling in on the Danish show More coming up next. Life can take a toll on our bodies, there’s no way around it. And whether it’s just sitting for hours on end at your computer or if you’re working a physical job over time, your body pays the price.

You can find her everywhere d lash or Dana Lash Radio, or two great places to stay connected to her on X On Twitter, a teenager singer, I think this was Loomis is the person’s name screwed up during her singing of the national anthem. And this has gone very viral because I don’t know.

I guess a lot of people get used to how many things aren’t live. This was live. She was singing the national anthem for a event that probably a lot of people weren’t watching. But here, I’ll play some of this audio first and then we’ll get into this toy.

We’re so goodly stream. Dad cannot go back, Please, you cannot blasting. I don’t want to keep going. Yeah, she’s struggling a lot.

She’s being told that she’s live. She’s not exactly happy to know that, or doesn’t really even listen to that. But it’s bad, and I don’t know. I think part of It’s actually kind of amusing to me for a different reason than for many people.

I think just hearing the F bomb during the national anthem, if you’re not offended, is something that you might be like, Wow, this person really didn’t understand the mission when they signed up for this job. But the thing that’s amusing to me is how real it is. I imagine a lot of singers doing a lot of other things that are not this wind up saying those words a few different times and being like, man, I really screwed up. I’d really like to go back.

I’d like to get it different. And actually it also kind of tells me that there’s a lot of singers out there who aren’t anywhere near as talented as we think they are, because it takes them a few tries to get something right to begin with. I don’t know how many of us could do better singing if we had seven or eight tries in a recording studio. But I thought about that too, But I don’t know.

It was just amusing to me out there that she was very human in a not very good way at a very inopportune time. And it’s definitely going to be viral for a while. I would think another thing out there that people are debating. I think this is mostly on Reddit and a couple other places online, and granted people have talked about this for a while.

Should there be an age that you age out of trick or treating? Is there a limit? Some places in New Jersey have set the limit around twelve. Other towns in that area I think thirteen and fourteen. Yeah. I think there should absolutely be a limit to when you can and can’t go trigger treating and when you should.

Now, I say this with two caveats, and I’ll throw them both out there. I may have once in my life gone trigger treating past an age I should have been trigger treating at but I have an excuse. A very attractive girl that I was going to school with in high school wanted to do it as a joke, and I said, yes, is the idiot guy? And I didn’t take candy. I just would show up at houses and then put my head down and be like, you know what this is.

You know I’ve signed up to do this because this girl wanted me to go with her. Beside that move, which I wouldn’t begrudge the man for doing, but I do things probably not a good look. I don’t want to give candy to people who seem like miniature adults. They’re not cute in their costumes anymore.

They’re definitely people that you can see a few years from now, maybe owning a home and giving out candy themselves. That’s the cutoff. You can’t keep going, you can’t keep showing up and asking for free things. It’s just wrong.

I don’t know if twelve or thirteen’s the right age. I guess it depends on how big a family is. It would be a little bit of a crappy thing for me to tell, like the oldest kid in a family that they can’t go, but everybody else is going. So I think there might be exceptions to the rule.

But especially if it’s just two or three older kids, you know, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years old and no young children around, you can refuse them any sort of candy. I think that makes sense. All right, Well, take a break a lot coming up on the show. I don’t know if that was a hot take or not.

Maybe it was not strong enough. This Craig Gallons filling in on the Dana show. Tex Network USA. They have been helping taxpayers save over a billion dollars in tax set and they filed over ten thousand tax returns.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with you. Bunch of stuff to talk about out there in the world. Let’s play this.

Mayor Eric Adams is a weird, somewhat new Trump fan. All right, that might be going too far, but he at least said a few things that no one else in New York is willing to say about Trump and about the rhetoric that surrounds him. Here we go. You know, I have been had those terms hurled at me by some political leaders in the city.

Used the terms like Hitler and fascist. My answer is known, I know what Hitler has done, and I know what a fascist regime looks like. I think, as I’ve called over and over again, that the level of conversation and I think we could all dial down the. Temperature just attack.

And I’ve heard people say that the former president should not be able to have a rally in a medicine Square garden. I strongly disagree. Of course, you know, this is America, this is New York, and I think it’s important that we allow individuals to exercise their right. Yes, how crazy that that’s not a tick that more people have that Eric Adams, who’s now actually been the target of his own versions of politicians, don’t like you anymore, not saying that he didn’t do the things he’s accused of doing.

I think there’s a whole lot of people that when the Democrats decide, hey, we’re going to go after you, they already know what the sins are. Actually, you know what, let’s throw the tinfoil hat for a second and just talk about this the way I do with one of my uncles, an uncle that very much believes a lot of these things. So he would say to me that in your political career. And I’m sure a lot of people believe this.

They find some dirt, whether that’s dirt they create themselves or dirt that they’ve always had, it doesn’t matter. Once they find the dirt, they hold onto it, and then when they decide to use it, because you’re not playing the game the way you’re supposed to play anymore, you’re screwed. And that’s what a lot of people think is happening to Eric Adams. They believe, and I don’t think they’re totally wrong in saying this or thinking this, that Eric Adams said way too many negative things.

He said negative things about the amount of immigrants in New York, a place that was uniquely being hit harder than say, many other places in the country, although a lot of the country has some version. Now that’s crazy, But as you say that stuff, and as you get pulled those directions, you start to open your eyes to all, right, well, you know, if I no longer have to protect my speech, if I no longer have to not say the thing out loud that I do believe that many people believe because they’ve already taken their shot at me. And with Trumpet’s literal shots, which is even crazier. But as you say that, you start to see this version of Eric Adams more and more, and maybe he believes he won’t have any future in politics.

I don’t know, but I thought it was really interesting to say what should be a very simple thing that a whole lot of people say and a whole lot of people agree with. Of Course, you have a right to your freedom to speech, of course you do. Of Course you have the ability to go out and speak, and go out and sell your message to whoever it is you want to sell it to. And you shouldn’t be censored by the government, because that’s horribly scary and a thing that we never want to get to in our society, and a thing that a whole bunch of people on the left say would be terrible if it happened, even though they’re the ones that are more seeking it all the time.

All Right, let’s move on. There are other things out there in the world. I do love this. Kamala Harris recently said about pulling and remember from the moment she started her campaign, which for some reason was just a few months ago, she was very happy with the polls, saying how great they were, saying how things were only you know, trending in the direction she’d wanted to go.

And then all of a sudden, the polls turn on her and they’re saying more and more that Trump is doing better. And then all of a sudden, you find a version of rhetoric that exists on the right things that Trump has said all of a sudden coming out of the mouth of Kamala Harris, and I love it. She essentially said that she doesn’t trust the polls, which is awesome. And the reason it’s awesome, I guess, more so than just saying that part out loud, is because these are the same people that all the time tell you to sit down and shut up.

If you say that the pull numbers, you know, don’t make sense and you don’t believe in them, it’s obviously your fault and not theirs. But here we’ll play a little bit of this audio because I do really enjoy this with Harris saying the thing out loud that has not just been said by democrats. I’m feeling very optimistic. Hold on, we got we got the wrong clip here.

Let’s play this again. You give us a sense of your internal polling at the campaign and how that is making or influencing your decisions on what to do over the next nine days. So, to be very frank with you, my internal polling is my instinct. I let the campaign people deal with the I don’t.

Worry about that stuff. My internal beliefs are the only thing that matters to me, the only thing that convinces me if I’m going to win or lose. I love it. You know, it’s obvious, and I’m saying the thing out loud that I think a whole lot of people already know.

But I could do this again and again and again. I could find you examples of the rhetoric on the right being reused by the left when it benefits the left, and so on and so on. By the way, uh, I don’t know if I actually threw this out there, So I’m going to go ahead and do it now. Trump did have a sellout crowd twenty thousand people, roaring fans, I think, as they were described by the New York Post at Madison Square Garden for historic rally nine days before an election.

Is Trump actually trying to win New York the state? I doubt it. Could he win New York the state? I also am not sure, but numbers have been better for him there than anyone else in recent memory on his side of the aisle. Why did he do it? I think he did it because of all the ways he’d be shot at. And I don’t mean that again literally, I mean all the things that he knew would be said and that his campaign knew would be said about how inappropriate it was for him to be there in the first place.

That stuff is just crazy. You know it, and I know it. I think more people need to accept that, you know, actually, just to pivot for a second. In my career doing what I do for a living, where you share or your political opinion willingly every day wherever you are.

I have worked with people who were done dealing with me or talking to me or interacting with me, and I never spoke to them. They were people that were done the minute they heard the radio show. And so what’s funny about that to me, and it’s not used as well in your everyday life as it is by these politicians, is when you notice that, you can probably find a way to demonstrate it to everyone else around you, like this is unfair. How I’m being treated is unfair.

They really need to switch this, do this differently, And I don’t know, just in your day to day life, you probably don’t create those traps and out these crappy things that happen because you’re not planning it that way. But when the Republican candidate for president can do this and can have people say that he’s a danger to society, that he’s not just a danger, but that he shouldn’t be allowed to speak in New York City, it throws out there how crazy this stuff is gone. And I don’t know what else to say about it, other than it’s sort of surreal to play something on a radio show and talk about it in this tone, in this way, and to wonder to yourself, how can they even be saying this on one side of the aisle and not realizing what they’re saying. And they probably know exactly what they’re saying.

They’re not struggling in reality. They just don’t care. If you can tell how ridiculous the position has gotten. All right, let’s play this audio.

This is Joe Biden crapping all over Elon Musk because darn it, they have to do that now too. I guess here we go. Tone am I registered a million dollars. Do you mean that’s ego condract Do you think that’s the lection that they care.

I think it’s totally inappropriate. I think it’s totally inappropriate. We hate this guy, we think he’s the worst guy ever. We need him to stop all the things he’s doing at asap.

Look, I’ll be honest, the Elon Musk move is probably not the most well thought out move. Paying people, although you’re not actually paying them to vote for a specific candidate, So I don’t know that it’s actually wrong or illegal or any of those things that they’re going to say it is. But obviously, as someone who’s showed up at campaign rallies and said stuff pro Trump, it certainly appears as though he’s got a one sided hope and what you do or what you choose to do based on getting some sweet sweet cache form Elon Musk. But it’s actually not, in my opinion, as far as what the Democrats are saying about it, something that we shouldn’t do more of in some other capacity, because getting paid to care about the election, unfortunately, is a very nice incentive for people who wouldn’t care otherwise, And honestly, it’s a very smart thing to do for young voters to get them to try to be evolved.

Hey, you might win a million dollars from the world’s richest man, who’s not going to miss a million bucks. But I just the way that if Democrats were gaining this and actually, you know what, we’ll play this in a little bit because this is probably where we’re going for this topic. On the show today, Joe Rogan did an amazing job of articulating how crazy it was to watch the Democrats love Donald Trump just a few years ago, to go on the view and have them screaming about how wonderful of a guy he is and how they were all hugging him and everyone was his best friend. And then a few years later things go crazy and everything gets way way worse because Donald Trump is no longer on team them.

So it was fascinating to see, fascinating to kind of, you know, hear a conversation with Trump and someone about that topic and to go further into how ridiculous it is. But the same holds true in this way when you point to these other people, when you point to the elon Musks of the world, loved at one point by Democrats, hated now if he was spending millions of dollars paying people to sign up for super packs or other things that benefited them. They’d say he was a national treasure. All right, let’s take a break.

Bunch of stuff, as I always say, to talk about and honestly, one of the biggest conversations outside of the fact that Donald Trump went on the Joe Rogan Show and had a really interesting conversation. I will be honest. We’re having a couple of technical difficulties on my end here as I’m broadcasting this show remotely, so I’m probably not gonna be able to get to some of those clips right now. We’ll get to them a little bit later on in the show, hopefully, But the Joe Rogan.

Conversation went three hours, and what I thought was most fascinating about it, and this is just before you do the Madison Square Garden thing, where you show up, you sell out twenty thousand seats in an arena, and you’re, you know, speaking to the masses the way that Donald Trump often does for hours on end, and people seem to enjoy it. That’s what the Rogan podcast was. It was a three hour conversation between a prominent podcaster and a person who’s got relevance you didn’t expect him to have I think just a few years ago, or maybe longer than that. I think he’s had relevance now for quite some time.

And Trump, and one of my favorite moments was when Trump said, can you picture Harris doing this sort of interview? Can you picture having this kind of sit down for three hours. She’d be in the corner, she’d be rolling over, she’d be crying, all of that stuff. And he’s right in all honesty. One of the biggest reasons that the Brett Bear interview was something that I think the left could push and say, hey, look at this, Brett interrupted Kamala all the time is because of how little time she gave him.

She was supposed to give him thirty minutes. She gave the guy like twenty. And during that twenty minutes, you’re trying to get a bunch of topics, and she’s doing everything she can to prevent you from even having those conversations. So when you talk about that, when you think about that, when you realize how silly some of those things are.

And then you watch Trump sit down for hours, you know, with Rogan or do the podcast the way he does it, and then follow that up with the Madison Square Garden show, you see another tremendous difference between him and between those who are saying that they’re trying to be, you know, people that compete against him. I don’t know. He’s so profoundly different of a politician even then, like the Robert F. Kennedy juniors of the world, that not many people could have pulled off the Madison Square Garden conversation at all the way that he did it, and with the success that he had in that environment, in that moment, in that room.

And of course again I will say I guess, and it’s important to say it that there’s no need for him to campaign there because he’s probably unlikely to win New York, but it was a statement. It was a demonstration of power, a demonstration of capability. And maybe, I guess I’ll say this too, and I don’t mean to rant on a Monday. Can’t help myself a little bit, I guess, especially when technical difficulties make it harder for me to play anything other than myself talking to you.

But I wonder if a part of it, too, is not necessarily a shot across the bow for Democrats, but truthfully a show for you, or for your relative, or for the person that says Trump actually isn’t popular, or the person that says he’s so popular that he’s unlikely to lose an election fairly. Maybe it’s a show for everyone in that environment that he can go into a hostile place, a place where he was convicted of crimes, crimes that many people believe are ridiculous to have tried him with in the first place, because they make no sense compared to what the initial accusations were, and he can prove that he does have a tremendous amount of of appeal of fandom. I’ll say it another way too, because I kind of enjoy this, and I wonder if you’ve had this experience with you know, family members of yours just a few days before the election admitting that Trump is actually funny, no matter how much they think he’s a horrible, terrible person and someone who’s a danger to our society as a whole, which is often something they say. The other thing that I think is interesting is the amount of people who begrudgingly admit that Donald Trump is actually humorous, that he makes good jokes, and that he, you know, makes people laugh.

Because you would think to yourself, out of all the things that make it hard to say, you know, win or lose an election, that one of the more significant ones is just trying to be as funny as you can be as you are in any other walk of life, any other place that you wind up in, you know. And I wonder if I think maybe we’re getting some of our technology things to work now. So I think we’re just a couple of minutes away from a short break and then we’ll be back early. I’m going to I’m going to keep going right now because it’s too early to break.

But I do know, I think that some of the technology we have is finally fixing itself. Which means we’ll be back to normal in a little bit. So this is a cathartic ranty moment, I guess, for whatever reason you want to consider it. That.

But one last thing, and this was another thing I was thinking about with Jade Vance being as eloquent as he is and as friendly as he is and media telling you how you know, he’s horrible and terrible I know a lot of times. And I was thinking this more for the younger voters, if there’s anyone younger listening out there by chance, and I imagine Dana has a whole bunch of younger listeners actually, So I’m just going to assume you’re out there, and maybe you don’t like Republicans, maybe you don’t like the rhetoric of the right, maybe you don’t like the use of terms like legacy media or any of that stuff. But the truth is, when you actually pay attention to these things, when you drive into the reality of the things people are talking about, they exist. The real media bias is something that you might not notice on a certain side of the political aisle until it’s too late, or until you’ve paid attention long enough to be like, oh okay, now I see it now I understand what you’re talking about, because, in all honesty, and I don’t know how to say this any other way than the way I’m going to say it, Kamala Harris is a horrible candidate for president and you know it, and I know it, and the Democratic Party knew it and didn’t throw her the reins two years ago on purpose because they were worried that it was going to be horrible and it was going to be exactly what it is now, that she was not going to be capable of having a long form discussion with anyone.

And that is a core aspect of being the president of the United States. Not only do you need to motivate and inspire people, you need to be capable of having conversations about tough topics with the media, something Trump relishes. He enjoys going back and forth with the people who most dislike him. Case in point is holding a rally in Madison Square Garden to begin with, all right, you know what we’re going to do.

I know this is much sooner than we normally do it, but we are figuring out some technical things. So we’re going to take a quick break and we’ll be back in the regular amount of time. In just a few minutes, we’ll be backed with all of the normal setup that we typically have here on the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in.

Hi. I’m Lillian, an English major at Hillsdale College. Here’s Hillsdale President, doctor Larry Arne with a Constitution Minute. America’s founders believed in a separation of church and state, in that the country was not to have an official religion or an official sect, but that did not mean that government was to be hostile to religion or even indifferent to religion, as many today argue.

In fact, America’s founding document, the Decrice of Independence, includes both a reference to God as the author of the laws of nature and a confident assertion that human beings are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. Far from being hostile or indifferent to religion, America’s founders understood the theology of the Declaration to be an essential part of the education of citizens.

The Danish show podcast You’re Fast, Funny and informative news companion for those always on the move. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts. Technology stinks sometimes, but we got it all figured out. Thrilled to be with you.

So many things to talk about throughout the show today. Let’s do this one other quick topic and then we’ll get to some sillier things. Democrats do really only have two discussion points this election. One is, of course, what I’ve been talking about for most of the show so far, how horrible and terrible Trump is.

The other one is abortion, and not only the fact that they say that this is a woman’s body rights issue, but also that they inflate any reality as far as the dangers that occur when abortion is slightly more limited than they would like it to be anywhere in the country, or maybe extremely more limited in certain places than what Democrats would want, which is abortion right up until basically a baby pops out, and even then, if you look at certain places, there are horrific stories about how babies who survive failed abortions are allowed to die in hospitals because the doctors do nothing to save their lives. That’s a real conversation that actually exists. It’s not something that’s being made up by a certain side, but I thought this was interesting. A obgyn.

Her name is Ingrid Scope. She’s all over social media now. She went viral a couple days ago for a nine piece thread on x on Twitter about how she’s been doing this procedure for years and she lives in Texas and she wants to shed light on all of the harmful lies coming from the pro abortion liwe. I can read some of the tweets to you because they’re excellent.

I’m a board certified obgyn. Is how she starts practicing in Texas. I’ve been practicing for thirty years. I’ve delivered over five thousand babies.

Allow me to shed some light on these lies and how important they are. After Texas enacted its pro life law, the quality medical care I provide did not change, nor has the law prevented me from caring for my patients. This is true even in cases of pregnancy emergencies. Since the Dobbs decision, I have cared for many women suffering from certain ailments in their pregnancies.

I’ve performed surgeries to treat in complete miscarriages and failed drug induced abortions, etc. Etc. She goes on, I have intervened when a pregnancy complication threatened mother’s life, even when I anticipated that sadly the unborn child would not survive. This is all stuff she’s done and she continues to do in Texas to the letter of the law.

Under every pro life law, including in Texas, our doctors can intervene to save women’s lives in pregnancy. Physicians, excuse me, can intervene to save women’s lives and pregnancy emergencies, and so on and so on every pro life law. She is explicit in how she describes and demonstrates to you, to me, to anyone paying attention as someone working in the field, that there’s a whole lot of crap out there, a whole lot of lies, and a whole lot of extreme rhetoric that try to cause you to vote based on just one thing your heart and saying to yourself, you know what, darn it. The only way I can vote to be a good person is if I vote for this side and reject this side of the political aisle.

But it’s obviously not true according to her and many other people. So I just thought it was interesting when viral she even references I think at one point in her Twitter thread that she has voted Democratic before, which feels like, for some reason it has to be the final straw for someone to not reject their opinion. The opinion disagrees with the masses on the left, But nonetheless, I just thought it was fantastic how it was portrayed put out there in the world, and how little coverage it’s probably going to get a lot of places. All right, now it’s time.

Let’s try to rapid fire. Let’s do a quick. Five, and now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s quick five.

That’s right, we’re cruising along. We’re doing great. Does masculinity shorten your life span? A study suggests manly men or at higher risk of heart problems. This feels somewhat as if it was intentionally put out there into the world, although studyfinds dot org is not necessarily a place that I think has a political sway or agenda.

It depends on what you define as toxic masculinity, which is just a crap term that’s used so often in the world. But researchers from the University of Chicago say there was a pattern that begins in adolescence and continues through adulthood, which potentially puts certain men at greater risk of heart issues. These are men who are more prone to certain types of I love how this is described male behavior like risk taking and whatnot or adrenaline junkies. High blood pressure and diabetes are also issues they see more with men.

But you know what’s so funny about this. The thing that’s missing, and I think a byproduct of the toxic masculinity conversation, is people are in like good shape, people who work out, people who behave like the kind of individuals that would fight to protect you or fight to protect this country. The alpha men. They’re not in this list.

They’re not part of the toxic masculinity group that’s suffering with health issues because oh yeah, by being that health conscious you actually are doing quite well for a lot of your life. They’re more talking about the people who have certain mental versions of approaching life that might not actually match their physical ability. People like me, I guess, who jump off of peers in high school and college into freezing cold water that you shouldn’t do. Guys like friends of mine who jumped off of roofs of houses into pools just the stupid things that you do.

But that’s not a totality or not a full description of I think toxic masculinity. So it’s kind of amusing that in order to get to this point in this study they left out a lot of the people who probably are not struggling with any of this. More of quick five stuff. Google is developing AI that can take over your computer information is reporting on this finance Yahoo.

I think ran the story to essentially the Google AI would realize that your computer needs to not be run by you anymore and then just do their own thing. It’s called Project Jarvis, which is a reference to Marvel stuff and Jarvis who eventually in one of those Marvel movies became his own sentient being. And that would be just crazy, and it seems to be the path we’re barreling toward. For whatever reason.

Wealthier Americans are paying millions to age in luxury campuses. Is another viral story. This was from the Wall Street Journal. This is not something I would blame anyone for spending money on personally, but if you have the cash and you don’t want to grow old in your house that you’ve been in a long time, no matter what darn it, nostalgia feelings you have about it, but you’d much rather age somewhere fancy with professionals around you that can help you.

While more and more Americans are choosing to go this road, this might be I know this is supposed to be a quick five and a lighter set of topics, but it might also be a reflection of the difference in family today and in years in the past. Maybe more people are less connected to their family, and for that reason they don’t feel they could be taken care of by being at home with loved ones. I don’t know if that’s true, but it feels like it could be a byproduct of choosing to spend a ton of money to live somewhere that’s awesome, which I again would probably do myself, as opposed to living somewhere that has say you know less of the cool things that you would have living in some of these fancy complexes. And then one other thing I thought this was interesting A viral store worry about a super rat that was spotted on a Spirit Airlines flight inside a light fixture.

The super rat may have actually been a raccoon and not a rat at all, but it was giant, and it was very happy to be living inside a Spirit flight. I don’t know if there’s any sort of extra charge to remove the rat from your seat or the area near you, the light fixture near you. In Spirit, I feel like they would charge for that, maybe the whole plane would get together completely into it. But I just love how viral this story went and how crazy this thing looks.

It’s either a very small raccoon or a very giant rat. Neither scenario is very good to have with you on an airline. To have with you on a flight, I feel like Samuel L. Jackson might start in the next version of this next movie.

But nonetheless, what I really love about it is the fact that as they’re looking at this, it was Spirit. Because most people would not have been surprised if you had to guess the airline and I told you the story without the airline. I think people’s first guest, unfortunately would have been Spirit Airlines, because well, okay, I don’t have to explain that any further help. They’re not a sponsor.

My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff as always to talk about, although actually I just found out producer Steven was at a heck of a football game yesterday, a game that actually beat the crap out of the Chicago Bears. Here, I’ll play the audio real quick.

I do want to do this first before we get to anything else. Comes down to one last play, and it’s going to be getting longer by the second. You’re all the way back at the thirty yard line. Now you can step into it.

Here comes the hail Mary. But the game on the line and the balls time, it’s a miracle. It’s insane. Oh my goodness, this town is going crazy.

Yes, and you were there going crazy, Steven? Is that right? I was. I was with the Bears fan, so he wasn’t excited to see it happen, but it was okay, great bear, it was a great moment. Well, what happened for you? Like after did your phone get blown up with people asking you how you could be at the game? Were you one of the people that holds up your cell phone and you’re taping it or are you actually doing the good thing and watching it like a human being in an event that doesn’t need a record of it yourself. I watched it happen, and then about thirty seconds later I pulled my phone out to get there because they were they were still hollering and cheering for a while, so oh yeah, I got like thirty seconds of it at the app and then I was as soon as I got self service walking to the train, and my phone blew up and our fantasy group chat was just going nuts because we it’s a lot of Commanders fans around here.

So sure, So not only does fantasy football probably get impacted by that, a lot of other things getting back up by that. You know, I’ve only been to one, you know, Marquee Sports moment in my life. I’ve seen a lot of games, but not ones that are terribly significant. I was in the student section and people might not know about this for the Bush push when Notre Dame lost to USC, when USC was ranked number one, with the very last play of a football game, because Reggie Bush shoved Matt Lioner into an end zone and I was on the field as some students were.

I was not a Notre Dame student. I was a Holy Cross student. You were allowed to have tickets and go to the game like cheering, thinking we won, and then one more play gets run. They make all the students get into the tunnel and you watch horrifically the other side of the end zone as the team loses, and then you walk out very sad.

That was a national story and I was there. There’s something cool about being at those. You now get to be at one that’s a national story too. Is there anything you take away from it yourself that experience.

I don’t know. This team hasn’t been good in this town for a while, like a long time, and it’s nice to see like there’s some cold and people are actually excited. It’s cool to see. Yes, yeah, they probably won’t have a lot of hail Mary wins, to be honest, and the Bears, who are known for their defense, probably don’t feel so good today after the way that you lose that game.

I was amazed at how open he was at the end of that play though, you know, in all honesty, like to have that one player for the Commanders just standing in the end zone behind the ruckus where the ball is falling to be able to catch that pass like that, like that almost never happens where it’s just one dude by himself being like, I don’t know, if the ball bounces a certain way, maybe I’ll get it. Yeah, dude, I mean the guy that tipped it into the Noah Brown’s hands was like chirping the fans on the sidelines before he didn’t even know the ball was snapped, right. Yeah, it’s crazy, all right, Well, thank you man, after you told me that you were there, and I know that was a big story and a lot of people were paying attention to it. And actually, if I’m going to take a slight break from serious topics, yes, where just a few days away from the election, and everyone is talking about, or at least should be talking about pull numbers.

Everything is demonstrating that the election is at the forefront of our minds, but it really is only a very simple topic. Who do you think is better suited to run the country for the next four years Kamala Harris, someone who couldn’t even run a presidential campaign to gain a nomination, or someone who’s been in that role before after everything has gone so poorly. I can oversimplify that because I kind of want to talk about one other sports thing. The Dwayne Wade statue has been viral.

It’s made the rounds all over the internet. Dwayne Wade was standing there in front of the statue the other day talking about how he couldn’t believe, you know, that he had a statue. He actually seemed like genuinely moved by it. And I think at one point Dwayne Wade said, like, who is that guy? But sadly that was actually the question for a lot of people watching, and I saw that.

I think some people on some of the broadcast sports stations claimed that it looks better in person than any of the photos make it look. But it looks horrendous. It’s not if you google it right now and check it out. The face of the Dwayne Wade statue, which is an iconic moment in his own basketball career, unfortunately also against Chicago Sports team.

So apparently today a lot of the Marquee sports stories involve teams from Chicago losing and stuff, but that is what it is. But what I think is so interesting about it he just looks like an old guy. Part of it looks like it’s supposed to be much more beard than the sort of stubbly look that Dwayne Wade has. And then the face, the eyes, the nose, everything, the way that he crumples his face, and I guess it’s supposed to look as though he’s in that moment where he’s saying, not in this house or I think this is our house.

I can’t remember exactly what the phrase is. But as Dwayne Wade is pointing to the ground and saying like, you know, we just won this game, they made him look old, not someone who’s in moments of joy. Like everything about his face doesn’t look like someone who’s squinting or are squishing his face because he’s happy. It looks like father time has wreaked havoc on him.

He looked younger saying thank you for his statue. Then he looks behind him, like, you know, looking at the statue, and I wonder how much of a gut page that is, and Dwayne Wade won’t say it, but if any of us are ever to have a statue, which very few of us ever will get in our lifetimes, we want it to be the epitome of when we looked our best. I would think, I think you’d want to look at it and me like that was me as a young man, you know, I would bring my wife to the statue essentially point at it and say, look, honey, that’s the man you married back when he was in his prime. And that’s not what Dwayne Wade got.

Dwayne Wade got a very different experience version of that, and for some reason, I found that both amusing and sad. I feel bad for the man. He doesn’t seem to feel bad for himself. The Internet absolutely agrees it looks nothing like him.

All right, let’s move on to actual news. For anyone that didn’t want to talk about the the you know, sports news out there in the world that I found so interesting, I thought this was kind of important. Tucker Carlson ripped the party of single, mostly useless people in America and it went very viral. The discussion for this went very viral.

Carlson landed on something that has been talked about before. And I’ll preface what I’m about to say about this topic. I am a man married in my late thirties early forties. Well, i’ll be forty in a couple of years that doesn’t have any kids, and not through any choice of our own.

Just I guess this is awkward to do for a second, but I’ll move on God’s choice. We tried didn’t work out for us. There are people in that boat. So when the Republican politicians or JD.

Vance or Tucker Carlson or whoever talk about the lack of parents on a certain side of the political aisle and how much of an impact that might have on their decision making as politicians, especially in the world of say what happens in schools. I don’t think they’re wrong. I don’t get mad about it. I don’t, you know, go up in arms and scream and yell.

How dare they say this thing? Because a part of that is true, and it’s something that many people will preach to you throughout your life that in order to make good decisions, you at least need someone around you that can give you a valuable version of experience to play off of. If you have no idea what the experience of something is. It’s much harder for you to decide what the right moves are for you, or for your family, or for anyone, or for in this case, you know, a community, or the entirety of the country. So it’s interesting.

But here’s part of what Carlson said. He said, the people he’s about to defeat have no idea and they’re panicked. They have no idea why people like Donald Trump. And their first theory was, well, Donald Trump is evil.

He’s you know, so half the country must be evil just like him. And that’s one reason that they’ve spent four years trying to destroy the country, because they’re mad at his voters for liking him and liking his policies. And also, as he says Tucker when he goes into this, the useless, mostly single people out there in the world. And so there’s one other thing I’ll say in response to this, it’s not intent to be offensive.

And I will say it because it’s true. And if you get offended, I guess that’s on you and not on me. But you do, in parts of your life wind up gaining a much better understanding of some of the most important things we talk about you own your first home, and then all of a sudden, your brain clicks and you go, Okay, now I understand these issues or why these things are complaints because they’re actually happening to me. Not even just the ability to envision the issues, but actually the ability to articulate how they negatively impact you or anyone else.

And it’s silly to say it, but it’s true, and it’s true of anything. If you ask somebody to run the South Side of Chicago who has no idea what the south Side of Chicago is or would be, or no version of experience of it, they’re going to struggle, at least for a while. I’m not saying that they can’t inevitably succeed, because they can. You can gain information by working with smart people who understand things that you don’t understand.

But I just think it’s fascinating that that basic premise, a premise, by the way, that the left loves in almost every other discussion. If you talk about the left and their desire to say, have DEI take over your workplace, it’s because they believe that the only way to have diverse ideas is to have diverse people throwing ideas out there, which I don’t necessarily agree with, but I do think is an interesting premise. They love this idea that if you’re not experienced in some way, you probably have a limited understanding of what it should be that you want to do. And yet when it comes to the whole parent’s discussion, or it comes to the whole family discussion, or a single versus anything else discussion, all of a sudden, that mindset craters and falls apart.

And it is fascinating to watch. All Right, one last thing that I want to just throw out here, and I do think it’s interesting Kamala Harris has been pushing Joe Biden as far away from her as humanly possible, as she’s only a few days away from the inevitable decisions in this election. I do think it’ll be very important to see exactly what happens, what plays out there, because Joe Biden is no fan of the fact that he’s been regulated to the closet once again. But the Harris campaign is reportedly keeping this distance, and one of the people with that group called Axios, he’s a reminder of the last four years, not the new way forward.

And yet Harris says she would change nothing about the policies and decision making of the past, which is fascinating. But as we get closer to the election, I wonder if there will be another Joe Biden moment where he will continue to try to demonstrate, Hey, I’m still the president and one out of every thirty days my brain functions, and I want to be treated like the president. Especially if Harris continues to trend the way she does. Will we in the last few days of this election hear more from Joe Biden than we’ve heard from him in the last few years because of his own ego, making him feel as though he was replaced unfairly again, which he was, and he might have been the better candidate all along to run against Trump.

He wouldn’t have beat Trump. But as Harris fails, it makes it seem as though this plan was flawed to begin with. I don’t know, but I do find it interesting, and I think Axio’s reporting on both Joe Biden President Biden’s version of being mad at how little he’s being used and Harris’s desire to keep him as far away as humanly possible has to collide because well, she’s still his vice president. All right, well take a quick break.

Time for Florida Man. I’m actually now technically a Florida man. We have just relocated to Florida, so I will be living in this place where I’m going to see a lot of this awesome stuff. I assume two quick ones.

First, a Florida man threatened storm water maintenance workers with a machete for blocking the road. This is from w FLA in Florida. Not a good move usually to go full machete and to yell at people for certain things. It’s probably not going to work out for you.

I don’t know where you have the machete too, how you store it, what decisions you make to make sure it’s by your side throughout the totality of your day, just in case you need to threaten somebody. No one was hurt, luckily, and the guy is in trouble for well a lot of things. I don’t think that also makes people work faster. We’ve had several versions of that story.

Recently out of Florida where people are noticing, say, and granted, there’s been so many difficult things with all the hurricanes recently and all the digging out and then having to get hit again. Luckily, even though Milton was bad, none of it feels anywhere near as bad as does to people I talk to in the area. So truthfully, it’s still not good, but it’s nowhere near as bad as it’s been in the past. So there’s some weird silver lining in that.

But maybe it’s just people being so angry. I’m now defending Florida man. I got here and immediately my mentality is to try to defend them. I guess I should leave it b But maybe that mentality the frustration is overboard and the guy also has a machete.

The other story, a man faces over five hundred charges for allegedly dealing stolen items. He violated He violated pawnbroker laws. He does not have any TV show, any pawnbroking thing out there in order to do this with. But CBS News reported on this one that’s not going to go.

Well, that’s a lot of charges. You’re going to struggle just a bit in court to go through all of them. I wonder how you even go through that. Do you read them all off one at a time, and then when he’s eventually either convicted or found innocent, do you again go through them one at a time? Does the jury get asked for five hundred different questions? I’m not sure.

I don’t I really want to know. I imagine he’s just gonna plead guilty, because why not. This makes no sense. You gotta have some licenses and stuff in order to open a pawnbroking shop.

You can’t just tell people to drop stuff off at your house or a place that you’re renting and then sell it to other people. That’s not how it works, even if Facebook Marketplace makes you think that. Oh by the way, real quick side note caveat selling things on FAKEOK. Facebook marketplace is horrific.

It’s the worst experience in the world. As someone who recently moved and did some of that with some of our stuff that we were getting rid of. So many people click the button is this available, and then never talk to you again. I don’t know what version of the world that would be like if we had to deal with this in real life, but I think anyone who does something stupid on the Internet should be subject to that exact behavior in their real life to see if they like it.

Because what I’d love to do is find every one of the people that asked me if the things I was selling was still available, and for a day hound them with is this still available? Is this still available? And then not answer any other questions and not talk to them at all. It is the most annoying. I don’t know who else has done it recently. Facebook get rid of that feature.

Do not allow people to click a button asking if something is available. Just assume that anyone selling stuff on your website has it available, and if it’s not available, they’ll go ahead and take it down off of your website. Just do that for me, please. And if they don’t do that, then when someone else asks a different question other than is this available, guess what, they still wind up with the same answer, I’m sorry, it’s not available.

That’s fine, we can live in that world. It’s so annoying. I couldn’t get over how terrible it was. There were moments where I just wanted to leave stuff just on the side of the street, because it’d be better than having a stranger pay me some amount of money for it because of how annoying it was.

But that’s real, and I don’t know how that works in Florida compared to other places like Illinois that I was living in, but I assume this is a thing that happens all over the place. I was tempted to do one more story in the Flora Man segment that is not a Florida Man story, but I’ll hold it. I’ll save it for you till later. But there was a hot pocket attack.

This happened in Boston, not in Florida. I feel like this is appropriate to happen in places all throughout where I now am, So maybe we’ll see it in the near future. Maybe it’s not news because it happens every day, But essentially a guy was attacked with the hot pocket and it was reported on beautifully by Boston News. So we’ll get to that later today, not here.

Craig Gallin’s filling in on the Danish show. Bern a Gun. I’ve got a lot of friends that have gotten Berna guns, and they all live in areas like one of my friends, the first one to get it. Where’s a friend of mine who lives in Washington, d C.

And works in the media and it’s you know, it’s a nobody wants to be without protection or in ability to protect themselves in DC because you know high the crime. I’m sure you’ve seen it. And so with Berna’s SD, the Burna SD, that’s their most popular model. If you compare what this does and it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from fifty feet away when you compare it to like regular stun guns or you know, they got like one or two shots, right, but with the Burner SD you have five rounds.

And now they have different models and they have all kinds of different accessories and projectiles. But the thing is is that the places where you can’t carry this is where Burna comes in. If you don’t want to be left as statistic because of a magical gun free zone area or a gun free zone sign. And this is legal in all fifty states.

There’s no waiting period, there’s no background checks. That ships right to your porch and you are not left defenseless, and that is the whole point to diversify your toolkit.

Just excellent human and great broadcaster. I’m not her. I’m Craig Collins filling in. I’m thrilled to be here doing the best I can.

I do love this. I’ll just say this quickly. The Joe Rogan Donald Trump interview, which lasted like three hours, took on a bunch of different topics. A Rogan at one point demonstrated his belief on global warming and environment issues and how different it was from Donald Trump’s position on that or a lot of politicians.

Discussion of those things also at other points pushed back to an extent not the way media described it. Media described Rogan as completely dismissing Trump on anything election fraud in some of their recaps of that interview, and that didn’t exactly happen. Rogan absolutely agreed that election fraud does exist. For anyone to say that zero percent happens in an election, is being moronic that it probably happens to some extent has actually impact the outcome of an election.

I don’t know that Rogan would say that per se, but darn it. The conversation itself lasted a long time, covered a lot of topics, three hours long. Someone actually went out there and said that Rogan gave Trump the questions in advance. How do you give someone that much stuff in all, Like if you’re giving Kamala Harris question in advance.

I get that she spends twenty minutes to an hour at most with anyone that she specifically curates out of a pile and picks to talk to. Even Fox knew she only gave them twenty minutes because they didn’t probably give her questions in advance, but she wouldn’t do a three hour sit down even with the knowledge of what they were going to talk about. Trump doesn’t care even if he got questions, which he didn’t. Rogan rejected this idea completely.

I doubt he’d even pay attention to them. I think Trump is the kind of guy that would go in with whatever plan he had, regardless of what they were going to ask, because he wants to go whatever roads he wants to go. Anyway, they talked about that too. By the way, Trump called his speech giving stuf of bringing in a bunch of topics and kind of bouncing back and forth between them as weaving.

He said he weaves in certain things, or he weaves out certain topics. I thought that was pretty interesting too. But nonetheless, Rogan was asked this question and did reject on social media, saying no, he did not give questions to Trump in advance and people saying he did. Are people just trying to further their own narrative or broken things in their brain? And also taking a shot at one guy who went viral for it, said that guy probably also he is sitting down, which I found amusing.

I did like that joke from Rogan. All right, let’s move on to this. John Carl, ABC News surprised how well Trump did in Madison Square Garden. I was there for about six hours yesterday.

First thing I’ve got to say, Madison Square Garden was packed. People waited hours to get in. They sat through hour after hour of this rally. They were fervent in their devotion to all things Trump.

Trump has created a movement. There is no doubt. I cannot think of another Republican faire year of my lifetime who could have come into a democratic city like New York and put together anything like. That, anything at all like what Trump did.

Absolutely, I think a lot of us agree with him that the ability to do that, and honestly, just to demonstrate that he could, because it doesn’t really feel like he’s actually trying to fight to win New York. I don’t think people would make that argument, but to have a sellout crowd. They sang God bless America at one point, which is as somebody who was born in New Jersey, somebody who certainly remembers specific times that we all remember in our country, in our world, and how much America came together after nine to eleven support for New York and support for America as a whole was incredible. And honestly, I’m also a Yankee fan that hasn’t been going so well the last couple of days.

Although Game three is tonight and hopefully things I go better this evening for the Yankees, but I vividly remember after nine to eleven watching on TV, wasn’t able to go to the game myself, and seeing the way in which America kind of surrounded themselves, even in the Yankees, even in you know, a world series and things going on at that time, and the support for the city itself and the firefighters and police officers, first responders, because we pictured that community being like any other community in our country, anyone else in the world, dealing with what they were dealing with and struggling the way they did. And so God bless America is saying at Yankee Games now because of that, because of nine to eleven, and so it’s just sort of surreal to see the people of New York, at least the people who shut up in Madison Square Garden creating that same environment of you know, patriotism that exists only in certain moments for a lot of our society, very much to the detriment I would say of our society as a whole. All Right, Another thing I want to play because even though you could take that version of a conversation or that version of a path on describing what Madison Square Garden with Trump at the forefront of it was, you can also say this stuff, if you’re AOC. Was not this was a hate rally.

This was not just a presidential rally. This was also not just a campaign rally. I think it’s very important for people to understand that these are many January sixth rallies. These are many Stop the Steel rallies.

These are rallies to prime an electorate into rejecting the results of an election if it doesn’t go the way that they want. Because Donald Trump and that entire cadre of people up on that stage, Stephen Miller, et cetera, do not respect the law of the United States of America. Don’t respect it. They don’t respect us.

She is so mad that this successfully happened so close to her turf in New York City. She’s so upset about that, you can tell in the way and what she talks about it. And Democrats are calling it a hate rally. Democrats are saying that Trump, you know, went to extremes in order to discuss his positions on things.

Now, I’ll tell you one, just honest, for anyone that’s never been to New York City or lived in New York City or understand it at all. The collection of people there as massive as you can probably guess, and people’s opinions are all over the place. But you watch something like a Saturday Night Live, for example, and especially early on, they’re making jokes about Joe Biden and the crowd goes silent. There’s a lot of New York that winds up showing itself in a certain way in these moments, and then you have a Trump rally with that amount of people responding to the things he’s saying.

Yes, he did say that if a migrant I think was the word he chose, killed a cop, that he would push for the death penalty as a punishment for someone who took the life of a police officer. Now, granted, that’s the moment that’s getting played all over media by the left to try to claim that this was a hate rally and that was the entirety of the discussion, which it was not. But more importantly, and this is the only way I can say this, and I can play the audio again, but I’m not even going to play it. That’s what he said.

There was a time in our society, again around nine to eleven, where support for cops and firefighters was so through the roof, and honestly for years and years, for decades before that, that if a cop was hurt in the line of duty, it was the kind of thing that a community rallied around, and the community wanted the person to be held responsible. They wanted the punishment to fit the crime, whatever narrative that takes for you in your own life. And so it’s sort of surreal to think that the things that Trump is saying are shaped the way they’re shaped by media because they intentionally misrepresent the core of the idea, and they sort of love to dabble in what is a change society for some people. I don’t know if the death penalty is the right decision or not.

A me Catholic part of me says certain things in my brain as far as my religion goes, no matter what the crime was. The pope infamous or famously forgave someone a former pope for shooting him, Pope John Paul. So there’s something about that. But nonetheless, regardless of if that’s the line for you or not, or however you go through that part of the discussion, a significant punishment, a tremendously negative punishment for someone who kills a cop in our country that’s not here legally shouldn’t be as controversial of a statement as it is.

But it’s because they want to paint that as well, now they hate anyone from another country. That’s not true. If you are completely fine with legal immigration, you’re completely fine with this, that, and all these other things that exist in our world, and you only have a problem with someone who’s a criminal who hurts a cop as like the reason to get the punishment to be what it is. Why would that It’s sort of a here, I know I’m not getting my point out.

Well, let me try one more time, because I want to make sure this is crystal clear. It’d be like being in the middle of an argument and someone just deciding that anything you’re saying, any of the topic of discussion, is irrelevant, and like kicking you in the face. Ah, I love that version of a thing, and then only wanting to talk about how mad you are that you got kicked in the face, not not even taking blame themselves, Like, yeah, I kicked you in the face, but so what, look at how mad you are, look at how mean of a person you are, just because somebody kicked you in the face that one time. That’s what this is.

That’s what this discussion is is is the point matters but needs to be forgotten, so the emotion has to take control, and the emotion has to then be blamed on things that have nothing to do with what you’re talking about in the first place. I hope that made more sense. I hope we got there all right. I want to play one other piece of audio.

I do like this too. I do think this is pretty interesting. This is a former cop. This is an individual who also was the acting director of ICE during the Trump administration, Thomas Homan, who very simply, in a sixty minutes answer, says, why deportation of people who aren’t there legally in the country isn’t as bad as media tells you it is, even if it’s expensive.

I love kind of the matter of fact, the way this goes. We have seen one estimate that said it would cost eighty eight billion dollars to deport a million people a year. I don’t know if it’s accurate or not. Is that what American taxpayers should expect? What price do you put on a national security? Is that worth it? Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families? Of course? Is families can be deported together.

Look, I’m not not laughing because the concept itself is something that amuses me. I’m laughing because of how simplistically he answers the question could we fix this problem that the Democrats talk about all the time as one of the biggest issues. Yeah, you can fix it. You can do it this way.

That’s one way to fix it. That’s the no nonsense approach people used to have to some of these discussions that people just simply don’t have anymore now. Now, granted, I understand the emotional poll or the emotional side of the discussion, but that’s not his area to concern himself with. That’s the problem is that more and more people want everyone to have a heart, when some people, to do their jobs, need to not have a heart.

You need to not think about it from an emotional standpoint. Is this legal? Is this illegal? Is this good? Is this bad? Those are black and white questions. Those are questions that don’t need to have debate and nuance behind them. And especially for people like him put in charge as police officers or government officials designed to do certain things to protect us, that should be the position he has, and then someone else, maybe above him, has some sort of more nuanced position, and yet it is also being represented today as horrible and terrible Okay, We’ll take another break.

Great ways to stay connected to her. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Let’s do a quick five. And now all of the news you would probably miss it’s time for Dana’s quickfive.

So apparently KFC is hoping that you love the sound of Kentucky fried chicken as much as they do when it’s being cooked, because they’re saying, and I guess they made this sound in connection with Hatch, which is a company that tries to help people sleep via playing white noise for them. They say it sounds exactly like rainfall. You tell me. Here’s the bit where they set up actually recording the sound for their sleep app with the guy who was in charge of Hatch.

That’s gonna be one of the voices on this audio. You heard the internet rumor that the sound of falling rain is actually the sound of fried chicken. Yes, should we get to the bottom of that rumor? Yeah, I’ve got everything set up ready to go. Okay, let’s make chicken, all right, Okay, it sounds yeah, it sounds a little like right.

I’ll be honest, She’s right about that. It does. I don’t think i’d want to fall asleep to the sound of fried chicken at all for any reason whatsoever. But I do find that pretty interesting.

And Hatch, the company that plays white noise to help you fall asleep. I might actually be able to help you with their chicken sounds. And KFC is just thrilled by it, probably every once in a while after your sleep. But also whisper buy more KFC.

Another thing out there that I saw that I thought was interesting just quickly. This isn’t necessarily politics, although it is politics. About twenty five percent of our expected amount of people that will vote in this election have already voted. Forty three million people have either sent in a mail in or showed up for an in person early voting to cast their vote.

Nationally, if one hundred and seventy million people vote in this election, forty three million is more than twenty five percent. Is this real? Is one question I guess I would ask, and we’ll all be asking as we go here, And is this something we’ll see more of for years to come? Are people sick of the elections? They just want to cast their ballot and be done with it and move on. I don’t know. I think that’s an interesting question to ask in an interesting discussion to have for sure.

Also out there, as far as quick five topics, police in Boston are looking for a suspect of a hot pocket assault. That’s what they’re calling it. A guy went into a store, grabbed a hot pocket, argued with the clerk over whether or not he had to pay for said hot pocket, and when he decided, he did the frozen hot pocket at the guy that was trying to charge him for it. Just mean all around Boston terrible.

As a New York fan, I think I can say that and feel confident about it, although I’m sure they’ll tell me a lot of things about how poor the Yankees are doing. By the way, that’s another of my quick five topics. Game three is tonight, the first game in New York City for a World Series in fifteen years. We pray, if you’re a Yankee fan, that it wakes up Aaron Judge and any of the rest of the Yankees that need to play better.

I guess mostly the pitchers because gian Carlo and Wan Soto have been amazing, Labor’s doing well. It’s really just Aaron Judge and the pitching staff that needs to remember, oh, yeah, we don’t get to play anymore if we keep losing. Right now, but that game is tonight, I go Yankees, and well once again, Boston hot pocket, not surprise at all, quick break, A little more coming up. Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

Makes some common sense of the crazy headlines. With a Dana Show podcast, you’re on the go guide for getting up to speed on today’s most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple or your favorite podcast platform. This is the Dana Show.

My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you. You know what’s interesting to me? I have some audio I’ll play in a second of Kamala Harris and what she says she’ll do her first one hundred days in office. It’s interesting she wants to fix a lot of the problems that essentially her own administration created, which is nice.

I guess if you’re going to say that, hey, you need me to fix this stuff that I broke. But before I get to that, there are two stories out there that fascinate me. One is about Jeff Bezos and the others about Elon Musk. So the Amazon founder is getting backlash because of course is the editor at large and well or is someone who owns the Washington Post.

He is getting shots fired by calumnists editor at large other in his organization in that organization for condemning the paper’s decision to not endorse Kamala Harris, saying that it would have no specific candidate, that it’s throwing its weight behind whatever weight that is in today’s world. And Bezos himself is now dealing with backlash. Others within the Washington Post are dealing with the same calls of how dare you, sir? And what’s fast about this to me is, of course, Jeff Bezos one of the richest people in our society. Then you look at Elon Musk.

He has been more of a vocal candidate for Trump and is getting attacked for a decision to encourage people to sign up to vote in the election, not to vote for a specific candidate, but to vote in general. And one of the things he would do in response to that is give a lucky set of people a bunch of money which he can afford. He wouldn’t even notice it. It’s like him giving you his version of twenty bucks a million dollars or whatever it is.

And he’s facing a lot of backlash and complaints about that too. But here’s the thing that I find interesting about those topics. There’s never been an easier way to describe how much the ridiculous, elite whatever you want to call it money, the dirty money of Washington impacts the outcome of our elections than these two stories and how regular news media is approaching them. And no, I don’t think that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are single handedly capable of, you know, changing the outcome of our election.

Although maybe if they wanted to spend a bunch more of their money on it, maybe they could. But nonetheless, it’s yelling to you out loud the thing that so many of us know that the money itself in Washington is what drives so many of these decisions. I mean fear about the Heritage Foundation and Project twenty twenty five. And Harris, I think again talking about how it’s got Trump’s DNA all over it, which I have that clip that just sounds gross as a phrase.

That’s not the kind of thing I want to hear from Kamala Harris. And it’s not true Trump has denied it. But again, it’s all of these you know, Washington insiders or elite or all this money that makes a lot of people believe that there’s so much that goes on behind the scenes in the dark that we never know about that influences so much of even how media discusses things, and media rejects that. News media gets offended by the idea, how dare you, sir, say that we would make decisions based on the amount of money we’re making from certain organizations or loss or the pharmaceutical industry per se as one example, How dare you say that? But then they cover so much of why Bezos and Musk are doing things they don’t like, one not behaving in a way that has a specific candidate of choice, and the other one in certainly behaving with a candidate of choice, but more than that, just trying to encourage people to vote.

Both are bad. We hate them equally, but we also reject the notion, if we’re mainstream media, legacy media, whatever you want to call it, that these deep pocketed people have so much of an impact on what actually happens within our political process. All right, let’s play play this audio. Excuse me, I just choked on something.

I think someone just tried to out me or off me a second ago. This is Harris talking about her first hundred days in office, and I love the things she wants to fight as far as the problem she’d face, because they’re all created by her in this administration. Your first one hundred days look like, what would be your top legislative priority. Well, it’s going to be lowering costs in a package of legislation that is about law and cost again on the issue of housing, small businesses, child tax credit, basically putting more money in the hands of American working people, but also cutting middle class taxes.

A priority in equal form is going to be what we need to do to deal with reproductive health care. I love how much he struggled by the way I just, in my opinion, struggled in between those first two answers. The first answer was all about how she needs the lower costs costs that her administration, the one she’s a part of, has caused, mostly because of their energy policies, but certainly a lot of other policies that have caused things to skyrocket and how expensive they are. But then after that, she’s like, and what else, what are the other talking points? Oh? Yeah, abortion, we got to talk about that.

One rein state the freedoms and the rights that all people should have and women should have over their own body. And then dealing with immigration and in particular border security and bringing back or problem that bipartisan bill that Donald Trump killed so we can get more research. Yeah, that bipartisan bill, according to Byron Donald’s and a whole lot of other politicians, doesn’t actually address all the issues that are caused by the broken immigration or illegal immigration system we have in play right now. So I love that that one’s reference too, because it’s not going to be passed by Republicans.

They don’t support a lot of the things that were stuffed into that bill that had nothing to do with it. Now. Granted, part of it was supporting Ukraine with blank check after blank check, which needed to be talked about on its own. That’s just one of several issues making everyone who’s currently already in this country legally here as opposed to dealing with illegal immigration.

But I don’t know, maybe making some people leave is one of many other issues, many other discussion points that matter so much there. But what’s interesting again for Harris, as pull numbers are starting to say she’s not doing that great, things are going worse and worse for her and for Democrats, then they would want things to be going. But as those discussions happen. She’s focused on two or three issues that they caused and one issue that she thinks is a home run an election.

Now, granted, I will say this, and I do think it’s really interesting how viral this went. A Texas board certified obgyn went viral I think on Friday, although really these tweets were more consumed all over the weekend, obliterating the notion that Texas is putting people in mothers in danger because of its abortion policies. And I can just read some of the specifics on what she put out, she does seem like an interesting person that maybe should jump on some radio shows and other things and talk about this. Ingrid Scope is her name in MD.

She says that she’s been practicing for thirty years. She’s delivered over five thousand babies, and she wants to shed light on the harmful lies that are coming up with this election and for pro abortion lobbies, including in those lies are moments that put parents or mother’s lives in jeopardy at risk. She says that she has absolutely acted in moments when sadly they would lose a child, a child would not survive, but it had to be done because of the mother’s life. Here’s what she tweeted exactly.

I have intervened when a pregnancy complication threatened a mother’s life, even when I anticipated that sadly the unborn child would not survive, the action required to protect his mother, to protect her mother. This is something she did within the letter of the law, under every pro This is her still speaking via her social media pages. Under every pro life law, including in Texas, physicians can intervene to save women’s lives in pregnancy emergencies. This is not something that’s panned.

In fact, according to recent Texas Health and Human Service Commission reports, physicians reported one hundred and sixteen abortions for medical emergencies and physical health issues between July twenty twenty two and May of twenty twenty four. Not talked about, not discussed, not even remotely honestly articulated by much of the media that wants you to believe in their one sided version of rhetoric. But I just thought it’s fascinating that these individuals, they say, I’m an expert, I live here, I work in this field, I deal with this every day, and mainstream media is like, stop saying stuff. We need you to shut up because it’s not who you are, it’s what you say that matters to us.

And if you say the wrong thing, we don’t want to deal with it. We don’t want to let you talk. We want it to just go the way of you know, in one ear and out the other as much as humanly possible. But those are it.

Those are the three issues that Kamala Harris will sit on and run on and try to convince you matter more so than anything else. And honestly, for two of the three issues, she’s even vague on details of what she would do to fix the problems that she herself created. One last thing, just to throw it out there. I know it’s getting talked about a lot.

Pull numbers are demonstrating Trump pulling further and further ahead, a granted only by like a percentage of point or two, but certainly in some of the battleground states, Trump is doing better and better on the heels of his giant rally in Madison Square Garden in New York City. You have to say to yourself that if Trump is someone who two elections in a row heavily outperformed his pulling numbers, he did much better than people expected him to do. People claim that individuals who answer pulls lie and then show up and vote for the candidate that they didn’t say they would vote for, as opposed to I don’t know. Pulls just heavily getting the wrong people to answer these questions, and people who don’t care to answer the polls, maybe not returning the phone call.

But if we’re sitting here right now, eight days before the election, and that’s the world we’re in, Harris is getting obliterated and that shouldn’t be a shocking statement. That should be the kind of expectation many have, and it seems they have because one of my favorite things was Harris herself recently saying that his poll numbers are starting to trend in the negative. You can’t trust them. She doesn’t want to trust them, she doesn’t want to believe in them.

She wants to trust her own gut instincts on this, which feels so eerily similar to any time anyone else says that PULL numbers are this number that number, I can’t be trusted, and well dart it. Politicians go after and a media goes after someone for saying those things. Here, I’ll just play the audio for you, because I do think it’s fascinating how much of hypocrites people can be when all of a sudden, Harris is saying something that you’ve heard from them many times before, bouncing your decisions on what to do over the next nine days. So, to be very frank with you, my internal pulling is my instinct.

I let the campaign people deal with the. I just think about what I think is going to happen, and I don’t worry about what any of the numbers are saying or anyone’s telling me it’s going to occur that might be horrible for me, are terrible for our party in general. I just ignore that stuff. Who cares about that stuff? Let’s let that stuff go.

I love that approach, and honestly, a lot of people would say that’s fine, Madam Vice President. Do whatever you want. Just don’t vilify the other guy when he says those exact same things too, and says that he doesn’t believe in polls or he thinks that some of them are unfair to him, which they often have actually been. All Right, I will take a break.

We’ll get out of here with lighter stuff. Is darn it? How can you keep going with all the serious stuff? All the time. We’re just a few days away from the election. You’re probably dealing with every person in your life talking about it now, even people that only sort of cared about it.

So we’ll close the show without any of that being the topic of discussion, and just a bit. This is Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show. On the go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist. Follow Dana’s Absurd Truth podcast for bite size, informative episodes perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast.

That’s right, this is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you for just a little bit more here, and let’s not talk about anything serious, shall we at the end? I love this. Gen Z says it has the most annoying coworkers, I meaning other gen Z professionals, not saying that other generations are annoying to them.

One of the reasons why gen Z says that they feel their fellow workers of that age group are people who don’t want to be around is they don’t know how to fit in, which I thought was interesting, saying the problem is everybody’s trying too hard to fit in, and it makes you annoying in a workplace. Just do work, Just show up, get a job done. Maybe you don’t like everybody you work with, maybe you love them. Maybe you want to be best friends and hang out all the time.

Both are fine. Everything that is important in the workplace is not necessarily important in your social life. I love how that’s the issue. But because of that, apparently many young professionals are saying their coworkers annoy them in how much they want to try to fit in with them.

I guess I don’t know. I don’t know exactly what that is, but I love that story being out there in the world. This one is hilarious to me. Not because of the crime.

The crime is bad. Don’t do this. It’s because of the reaction to it on the internet. But a guy was pulled over in Connecticut for driving one hundred and eighteen miles on the highway bad.

Don’t do that. He was on I eighty four in Willington. A trooper pulled him over and said, hey, that’s a little bit too fast. He had a New York City license plate or a New York license plate, which might be saying, but here’s the part the internet loved.

He was driving a Hyundai Elantra. I don’t even know what year the car is, but it was a blue one day Ladra. Most people were like, I didn’t know the car would go that fast. I didn’t know you could pull one hundred and eighteen out of that vehicle.

And I love that reaction to it. Maybe the trooper was even somewhat surprised to be pulling over that car and not a nicer vehicle. No offense to the Hyundai, but that was shocking, and I am again thinking that maybe they need to turn this into some sort of commercial themselves, to be like, you won’t believe the mistakes you could make behind the wheel of Ondai Lantra as far as speed is concerned, but don’t make these mistakes. They’d be bad.

Luckily, no one was hurt. Another story I saw that I thought was interesting Elon Musk in the news, not just for his political decisions and things like that, but also because of how cavalierly he kind of discussed that aliens could be real. Honestly. One of the discussion points that seemed to be a big deal between Trump and Joe Rogan was the potential existence of aliens, So that was a big conversation piece, and Trump saying that, yeah, there’s a lot of likelihood that it’s true.

But Elon went a step further, saying, they’re probably walking around among us right now. I don’t know if that’s because we don’t notice who they are or how they behave or anything else, or if we’re just so focused on ourselves. Maybe we’re all looking at our cell phones so much that an alien could legitimately walk by us looking like an alien, and a lot of people wouldn’t look up. I don’t know, but Elon said it.

They could be wandering the earth right now in some form, and you know, it’s not as big of a story as it should be, and that feels true. I have had people tell me that the distraction of aliens is something that politicians want to use to hide whatever the real things are that we’re supposed to care about. I’ll never accept that, because aliens, to me, will always be a fascinating concept. I’ll always have the ability to multitask and hear about the existence of them and other stuff.

I’ll never have to do just one or the other. It’s not an either or with me. Tell me all the stuff you know about aliens. That’ll be fine, and then tell me anything else you’d want to tell me on top of it, and I’ll be able to pay attention to each equally or well, maybe not equally, but enough.

And one last one, just a quick story that I saw that I wanted to throw out there. There’s a heartwarming moment that’s gone viral for a family that gave their beloved grandfather an explosive send off by sending his ashes up into the night sky via fireworks. Sometimes when this stuff goes viral, people think of it as dark, like, well, someone passed away, and now we’re all talking about it with this positive thing around it. Out of all the one I don’t agree with that, I just think that’s a reaction some people have.

Out of all the things that have gone viral, like silly obituaries, whatever else, this is the one I’m most envious of. Firing your ashes off in a ridiculous firework display sounds incredible. That sounds like the kind of thing that absolutely I’m going to add now to any sort of discussion on what I want to have happen when I leave this earth, because I want it to be as crazy and explosive as this event was. And they said that their grandfather was a guy with a big personality.

He was a guy who walked into a room and you noticed him. There so no better way to send him off than to blow a bunch of stuff up in the sky with his ashes in them. That is awesome to me and hilarious as a move. And I wonder if someone in the family was like, really, we’re buying this many fireworks for this, and someone else pushed them and said, there can’t be too many.

We could do twenty thousand more and it’ll still be fine. We want it to be epic. All right, that’s it. That’s the show for today.
