This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrill to be with you. A whole bunch of stuff out there to discuss and talk about. We will do our best to cover as many of these topics as possible today. Filling in for Dana, she is back next week. Let's do this first, though. This is interesting.

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein are going to put out their own list of information. They did do a pretty big press conference today on Capitol Hill. They talked about quite a few different things. Here is some of the audio there. I'm going to put a couple things out there together, though. I do want to hear from people, anybody, including, of course, victims of the horrific sex trafficker that is Jeffrey Epstein. I am weary sometimes, and I'll just say it at the forefront, that you could be motivated

to say things that aren't true by someone, you know, who desires a certain narrative. I don't know that any of that will happen. I don't know that it is happening. I'm not saying it is, but I think that the interesting part about victims coming forward on their own is they can also be manipulated more easily than in other settings. But hopefully that is not what occurs here. I know we're supposed to believe everybody who says anything,

and I'm not saying there's any reason not to believe them. I'm just putting all the pieces out there together. Here we go. No, you can't hear that. All right, hold on one second. Let me make sure that I actually play this for everybody. everybody to hear, not just for me, out of here. That would be over here, probably. Okay, here we go. Let's try this again.

Views not only me, but countless others, and everyone seemed to look away. The truth is, Epstein had a free pass. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current president, Donald Trump. It was his biggest brag, actually. And while I, what I endured will haunt me forever. I live every day with PTSD. I live as a mother trying to raise my child while distrusting a world that has betrayed me. This kind of trauma never leaves you. It breaks families apart. It shapes the way we see everyone around us. But one thing is certain, unless we learn from this history, monsters like Epstein will rise again. There are files, government files, that hold the truth about Epstein, who he knew, who owed him, who protected him, and why he was

allowed to operate for so long without consequence. Why was Maxwell the only one held accountable when so many others played a role? Why does the government hide this information from the public? This secrecy is not protection. It's complicity. And as long as the truth is buried, justice remained out of reach. That is why this bill matters. Passing it will bless you. And you're ensure that... Okay, I got to be honest. It was pretty sweet. I've heard of also say, bless you to somebody who sneezed well doing this. That was pretty nice. And everybody giggles as she's speaking.

She is one of several victims who spoke today about a bill that would force more information to be out there. Thomas Masey and others are behind this. So look, when the politicians get their, their myths into a situation, they desire to have a certain outcome occur. And so I am weary, but I do agree with her. Everything she said. It's horrible. It's awful. It doesn't deserve to be kept quiet. Any and all information that needs to come out should still come out. There's no way that Maxwell was alone in acting to help Jeffrey Epstein. So it's just impossible here. A little bit more. I'll play a little bit more of the audio.

The suffering of survivors is not in vain. Passing it will bring accountability, transparency, and prevention. It will help protect the next generation of predators who seek to place themselves above the law, through wealth, influence, and connections. This is not just my story. It is about every survivor who carries invisible scars. It's about the weight we live with daily. It is about the family's broken and the future stolen. So I ask you, President Trump and members of Congress, why do we continue to cover up sexual abuse and assault?

Who are we covering for? Let the public know the truth. We cannot heal without justice. Justice, we cannot protect the future if we refuse to confront the past. Thank you. I mean, powerful stuff, definitely said. And absolutely the kind of thing where it's a shame, I will say this, I guess. It's a shame that I feel as though these victims have to come forward themselves.

And they feel that way too. They do feel that this system has failed them, that there are people that are being protected, which absolutely a whole lot of us agree and believe. and again, getting to the actual heart of all of this, of whatever is missing in the information we've seen so far, which is probably pretty much all of it, is a desire that almost all of us have. I know the president has dismissed this as a conspiracy

and something that's getting drummed up for political reasons. And to be honest, Trump has been the victim of an incredible amount of conspiracy theory stuff that winds up not being true, especially early on in his first presidency when Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia was the whole thing. So there's a lot of moving pieces that you could convince me are all potentially in play. And so I guess the best possible way to decide what the inevitable result is of all of this, what the truth is within all of these potential narratives,

is to just get more information, just to finally see all the receipts, all the data, and know for sure. Epstein bragging that he knows people, by the way, though, which is at the beginning of that audio, that's not necessarily a indictment of any one person. If you're someone like an Epstein and you seem to, well, being a horrible, terrible, disgusting, you know, criminal also like to brag about knowing famous people, you might overly pretend as though you're friendlier with people than you actually are. And so there's no version of me hearing secondhand that Epstein said he was friendly with blank that makes me think that alone is enough information to feel like someone should be in more trouble.

Of course not. You believe that, too. All right. Let's take a move over here to Mayor Brandon Johnson. He is talking about how Chicago will continue to have a violence problem, no matter what. And then he blames it on the most ridiculous thing he can blame it on. Conservatives, of course, red states and guns. Because why not?

Don't blame it on any of the things going on in your city. I don't blame it on your resistance to having Trump actually send in help that you could use to stop the violence. No, no, it's none of that. It's just the fact that red states have guns. Two or three more new guns come into our city. Chicago will continue to have a violence problem as long as red states continue to have a gun problem. Shootings will continue as long as this presidential administration continues to put politics. All right now I got to stop it right there, actually.

You know what's really interesting to me? So Democrats all the time tell us that the solution to violence is gun control, gun restrictions. Chicago has some of the most aggressive gun laws, gun rules in the country, and it doesn't matter. And so what I think is really interesting about that and this narrative that Brandon Johnson is trying to turn this topic into, which it's not. It's not about guns in red states. It's about murder in Chicago. that's the thing that matters. But what's interesting is this is also an example

of how the thing they claim we need to do to stop violence doesn't work. If they created gun laws throughout the entire country that banned certain types of guns, if they did all kinds of crazy stuff, the end result would be the same as Chicago. People that want to do bad

things would still acquire the means to do it. They'd find a gun that they needed for whatever it is. Or, if you remember in the 90s, there was a while where people were of and we had some bombings that occurred. There will be other scenarios where people who are mentally ill and evil and terrible want to commit acts and will find a way to do it. The only people that would be harmed by saying that this is no longer legal or this is restricted are the people

who do things legally. The people who wield their rights like the rights from the Second Amendment are responsibly. People like me, people like a lot of you listening to this show, I'm guessing, are people that absolutely do everything right. You're the only people that they can affect with these laws because the criminal person, the person who's going to kill somebody, which is also illegal, is going to do all the other stuff anyway.

And again, Chicago is a great example of the truth of that statement that the thing that the left yells and screams at all the time and claim is the solution to one of the bigger problems we see at times in our society is being definitively proven to not work in places like Chicago. go. I just don't understand any part of the craziness of this and the discussion of this and also the ability to try to kick blame away from yourself, which is horrible. So it's really interesting.

This morning, the first couple topics we're talking about involve victims of a sex trafficker who are going to force responsibility to be held by people who have so far been protected by who knows who and how and why. So we're going to have that version of a thing happen. And then also you have a story about Brandon Johnson and how he's trying to skirt responsibility himself for the horrible things that happen within his city and how that's probably not going to work out for him either. So it's interesting. There's two fairly similar stories in the way of responsibility and who deserves it and where it should go. All right. We'll take a break. We've got a lot to talk about, a lot to get to today. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. Did you know that fall is one of

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. That's right. It's time for Quick Five on the Dana Show, D-Lash, Dana-Lash Radio on X, on Twitter,

at Radio Craig C if you want to follow my tweets about the Yankees, but I am in for her for this week. All right, a few crazy things out there. First, a gold price hit a record high. Investors are looking for a sweet, delicious, safe haven from all the craziness that we might see, especially with the discussions about tariffs, their legality, refunding them, all kinds of things are out there as far as discussion goes.

So people are investing in gold, baby, which is something people do all the time. And it's usually a good idea, especially a good idea during volatile times, which we might be blazing toward. China is set to unveil the world's most powerful laser

defense system. This would be in front of Vladimir Putin and Russia. The United States and Trump have stood very strongly, even when the mainstream media people tell you he doesn't do this, by accusing people like North Korea, China, Russia, whoever,

of conspiring against the United States, something he put up on social media. This feels like a an aspect of that whole discussion. That whole thing is these countries seem very proud of themselves. India at times seem to be closer

in these relationships than you want them to be. But it is interesting that China will unveil a very unique laser defense system in front of Vladimir Putin. It seems to be done on purpose, of course. Vaping may be causing irreversible harm to children's health.

Doctors say it feels identical to the evolution of cigarettes. Like truly vaping feels somehow crazily the same. Aspects of the dangers of vaping were obvious going in because of everything that happened with cigarettes, whether you smoke or not, not judging, just saying. So I think it's interesting that so many people, young people, thought, hey, vaping way safer.

And it seems to be more and more demonstrated how utterly inaccurate that statement is. But there are more pieces of information coming out, especially if you're younger. This is actually also true of pot smoking. If you're younger and you start smoking pot, the damage to your brain is tremendously more significant than if you get older. That's one of the big reasons that you should not ever be even remotely cool with your kids smoking.

But I digress, that is a thing that's out there that does seem to be backed up by a whole lot of data. Three people were arrested after a thousand dollars worth of stolen meat was found in a car. That sounds less than sanitary. is a comment that one of the people on this team sent to me, along with this story, which is hilarious by Radio Kane. But three people were arrested. A thousand dollars worth of meat was found, all prepackaged, all individually wrapped.

I'm not sure if it was cold or not, but this is a unique, crazy story. The funniest part to me is that I don't think this is out of Florida, which was disappointing. This feels like the kind of story that would definitely be a Florida story, but it's not. One other aspect of it, too, I should mention, and this is something I thought immediately when I saw it, I would love to have been driving this car. Not having the stolen stuff, but it looks like it's a whole lot of delicious steak.

Again, not sure if it's still good. Not sure if any of this is still currently delicious. But just driving around in a thousand-dollar meat car is something that I find uniquely fun as an idea. Just having a whole bunch of steak and pulling up at some sort of, you know, grill, some sort of a cookout and being able to provide delicious food. I don't know that that's what they were doing. I feel like something else horrible was happening. I think this actually happened in the UK, by the way, which for some reason amuses me even more. And then finally, one last story for our quick five.

The Bay Area City has a major geese poop problem, a Bay Area City, I should say, and they're going to spend $400,000 on doing this. Canadian geese are wreaking havoc all throughout San Francisco, and so it's going to cost almost half a million bucks to try to get that under control. This feels like part of the reason that California has so many terrible problems. Mostly because I think that I and a few of my friends could deal with this geese poop problem for way less than 400 grand.

We can get it done for you guys. If California wants to hire us, I know a few people, I'll bring them with me from Texas. It'll be over in a weekend. We'll have no problem with it. And we'll take like 200 grand. That sounds about right. for us. But I do love this. I love the fact that this is, you know, a thing that they're talking about

spending this kind of money on because it also demonstrates to you how profoundly wasted money gets when government gets its mitts on it. You all know that. I know that. We see it every single day. But spending half a million to deal with a goose poop has got to be at the top end of any sort of list. All right. We'll take a break. We'll come back a lot of news to talk about. Trump has responded to the Epstein breaking news story. You got a big thing going on out of Florida today and vaccines. All that coming up. Craig Collinsville and in on the Dana Show.

If for some reason you want to follow a way less famous human in myself as well on social media and my tweets about the Yankees and how I definitely think that a pitcher purposefully hit his catcher last night after giving up a whole. home run to a Yankee, although that's not what we're talking about today. Okay, I'm moving on. Epstein, I squeaked it in there, though, and I'm proud of that. Epstein survivors have spoken out. President Trump has responded to all of it. I will get to some more audio within that conversation, but what's crazy to me is the amount of other stuff that's also in the news and where the distraction is

coming from and why. Democrats are certainly amping up their version of events that involves that, of course, Trump is going to get in a whole lot of trouble. I very much believe that is impossible. And the reason why is Democrats were in power, had all of the information about Epstein, and didn't harm Trump when they would have tried to send him to jail

and kill him. So it just makes no sense they would have sat on Trump's stuff and then they'd have to fight to get it released by Republicans. So even though I feel bad, horrible, not bad, just absolutely terrible for the survivors of Epstein and how much they desire.

the truth to come out, and I want to see it come out too. The narrative that Democrats are just trying to pin this on one person who happens to be in the White House feels like a lot of we've seen that before. I call it Russia, Russia, Russia, or anything else, the amount of times that the conspiracy theory, hoax thing turned out to be a hoax in the world of Trump is at fault with Democrats is through the roof. But here's some of the stuff that I think might be, you know, getting pushed under the rug on purpose.

So another employee, a police officer actually, a government employee, was charged with voting fraud in Milwaukee. I know they tell us this is impossible that it can't happen. Democrats say we've never seen it. Our elections have zero fraud all the time. That's why you can mail in a ballot without even giving any information at all, it feels like sometimes. You can just scribble on it, voting for someone else, and they'll totally accept it in Democratic-led states. But no, I think what's interesting about this, it's a police officer. She voted in Milwaukee.

She didn't live there. She did it in multiple elections. This is supposed to be the kind of thing that they catch and prevent. And they didn't. Her vote probably counted in all those places. And now suddenly, she's actually in trouble for some other reason. I don't know what it would be that would cause just her to be thrown to the wolves. But the fact that these cases exist and this information is put out there in the world

demonstrates how often they lie to us when they say that the elections are completely secure. and that vote by mail especially is, you know, perfect and who cares what the problems could be. Democrats don't care because they know it benefits them. Other things that, again, are also in the news. I don't think this is trying to be swept under the rug. Maybe more so mainstream media doesn't want to credit Trump for a thing like this. But yesterday afternoon, he blew up a bunch of cartels on a speedboat. And this is pretty, you know, amazing.

It's bad bleep, if I can say it that way. I can, I know I can say that word, but I won't. I'll be safe. But it's cool. It's the kind of thing that the United States should be doing a lot of, and we should be praising Trump for it. Here was what Fox News did when the news broke. Fox News alert, Trump just went for the kill shot.

The U.S. military successfully carried out a precision strike in the Caribbean. 11 trend in the arragua terrorists became shark bait. Yeah, baby. Cocaine speedboat obliterated. The sharks having a fiesta. And Venezuela is on notice. We just, over the last few minutes, literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat. We have a lot of drugs pouring into our country coming in for a long time.

And we just, these came out of Venezuela and coming out very heavily from Venezuela. A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela. I love everything about the fact that Trump blew up a boat and then bragged about it and said, if it keeps happening, we'll keep doing more. President Trump, I'm just rapid firing through some of the news stories that deserve to be at the top of the list of stuff we're talking about. President Trump will ask the Supreme Court to expedite a ruling about his tariffs appeal, whether the tariffs that he has applied throughout most of the world are legal or not. The United States might have to refund that money if the Supreme Court decides to agree with some of the lower courts on this, which I very much hope they don't do, because it sounds like it would cause a whole bunch of chaos. What's fascinating to me is that for a while the left was screaming out loud, Trump better not use tariffs or implement tariffs because it would cause craziness within the economy.

And it sounds like what actually would occur is the fight against the tariffs will cause craziness within our economy, not the Trump decision to have the tariffs in the first place that has actually gone much better than expected. And the deficit is something that we're going to be able to take a big punch into during Trump's presidency. If these tariffs get to stay, I just find that fascinating. That no matter what they do, they'll, you know, act certain ways and do certain things that seem to be crazy. And who cares who winds up getting harmed in this, even though they blame, even though they yelled from the rooftops that they were afraid of economic disaster before they started fighting back. All right, let's get to the Epstein stuff. This is one of the survivors of Epstein speaking. I'm not going to throw their names out there.

I know they're being public and putting their information out there, but as sexual abuse survivors, there's something odd about just doing that, but their names are all there. You can find them. But anyway, she is speaking about many of the experiences she had, well, you know, horribly being abused by Epstein, and she named dropped someone.

And the person she named dropped was not, in fact, Trump. And this is kind of interesting because the difference between what she and others have said about Trump is that they heard Epstein brag about him. She actually is saying that she went on a trip that included former president Bill Clinton. At first, I was an excited young woman on top of the world. Epstein flew me to his private island. He listened to my dreams, promised to help. But his promises came with a catch.

The abuse began. He told me to keep it secret. He manipulated me with quid pro quo. I did not consent to, but I felt I had no one to turn to. He was too powerful. I was just one of the many young women trapped in his orbit. I was even taken on a trip to Africa with former President Bill Clinton and other notable figures. In those moments, I realized how powerless I was.

If I spoke out, who would believe me? Who would protect me? Epstein himself was the most powerful leader of our country. Epstein surrounded himself, I'm sorry, with the most powerful leaders of our country and the world. That is something, as far as an admission goes, that there was a trip that was taken to Africa where you are to assume because she was there and Epstein abused her

that several of the other people going on the trip with Epstein were doing the same thing to young women that were also on this trip and former President Bill Clinton was on that plane and so that to me seems to be a big part of the story that might be left out by some for reasons that make no sense to the rest of us.

President Trump has responded this, by the way. So I will play that audio. And then actually there's a big thing going on in Florida that also feels like it's giant news that deserves to be discussed today. And yet Epstein is jumping up to the top of the coverage map or whatever. It's up to the top of the list of what mainstream media is going to talk about because they think that the target is Trump. You can want something. I can want something more than what we've gotten so far, more information about the horrificness of Epstein and how how deep his system was or how deep his his net was that caused many, many young women to be harmed. I want to know all the people responsible for hiding that

and protecting him. And yet I also can not believe that Trump is the significant version of the target that the left thinks he is in this because of the thing I said at the beginning, that the left had all the power and didn't put out a damaging Trump thing that involved Epstein when they really could have and absolutely would have if they had it. But here's what Trump said. Mr. President, right now there have been survivors of Jeffrey Epstein speaking at a press conference on Capitol Hill. They're calling for these case files, these documents be released. And Thomas Massey, who is sponsoring and discharged positions, you get the House to vote.

on the lease of those documents, says he doesn't be here implicated in these files, but many of your friends and donors may be, and says that's why the Justice Department is redacting them and slow walking the release. Are he's the Justice Department protecting any friends or donors, sir? So this is a Democrat hoax that never ends. You know, it reminds me a little of the Kennedy situation. We gave them everything over and over again, more and more and more and nobody's ever satisfied. From what I understand, I could check, but from what I understand, thousands of pages of documents have been given. But it's really a Democrat hoax because they're trying to get people to talk about something that's totally irrelevant to the success that we've had

as a nation since I've been president. Even if you look at D.C. right now, D.C. It's a totally safe zone. It's called a safe zone. That's a term. It's a term of art. It's a safe zone because it's very safe. You can walk down the street now and nothing's going to happen. No crime, no murders, no nothing, because we had a lot of problems with certain places. And we still do, all run by Democrats or for the most part run by Democrats. So what they're trying to do with the Epstein hoax is get people to talk about that instead of speaking about the tremendous success, like ending seven wars. I ended seven wars.

Nobody's going to talk about because they're going to talk about the Epstein, whatever. You know, what's really interesting is if the perfect storm of things weren't playing out, it would be a little harder to believe what Trump was saying was true. But it's not because we've seen every part of this movie before. We were told definitively, not just by politicians and talking heads, but by mainstream media that Trump was going down hard for the Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia investigation, and that there were all kinds of crazy things linking him to Putin, and then none of it occurred.

It all wound up being a nothing burger. His taxes was something that people talked about being a horrible secret that they were going to demonstrate just how much ridiculousness the president was actually involved in as far as his net worth, et cetera, et cetera. And then nothing came of that story too. This is happening again and again to Trump. And the most amazing part of the Epstein thing, the part that anyone who's yelling stuff into the ether seems to easily forget,

is that Democrats could have easily done this when Biden was in office and they had all the power. They did not have to fight a system to demand something that was being hidden behind closed doors actually come out because they had every ability to put it out into the world and they didn't do it. And you have to ask the question, why? All right, let's move on. Other things out there, just try to cover this quickly before we take a break. The Surgeon General of Florida has announced that all vaccine mandates in Florida are over, and not just COVID ones, all of them, baby. You can do whatever you want as far as the decision making of your own body and your own health and the health of your children. All of this is unique and important and something that I think every state probably should do.

Here we go. What I'm most excited about is an announcement that we're going to make that we're making now, which is that the Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the governor, is going to be working to end all vaccine mandates in Florida law. All of them. All of them. All of them. Every last one of them. We will get to more of that audio later because we are up against a break. But I think it's interesting that he goes into talking about how it drips with disdain and slavery. He says the history of forcing people to get vaccines is closely tied to slavery.

That is a black band who is speaking and saying that, by the way. something the left is often very much a fan of discussing and saying how this or that is a problem and a community was, you know, disproportionately harmed and we need to do everything we can to take it back. I'm sure they'll ignore that part of his discussion when he talks about getting rid of vaccine mandates in Florida. I'm sure they'll absolutely throw out the thing that mostly they love to talk about, although they hate to talk about it when it's a Republican or Republican state that's tying that issue into something else. But all right, we'll take a break. We'll come back. We'll do some more stuff. We'll get to more of that audio later. A lot going on today. Stay with us all day long.

Follow Dana's absurd truth podcast for bite size and formative episodes. Perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get

your podcast. This is the Dana show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. A thrill to be with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about. Producer Stephen and I were just chatting off the air about Kwai Leonard. So screw it. I'm going to talk about this on the air. It is also insane.

People who have a bunch of money can do a bunch of terrible things with a bunch of money. Case and point might be this story. I didn't do anything bad himself. I don't need to make this setup sound different than it is. Steve Balmer, who you've probably heard of, decided to pay the richest player in the NBA or acquire one of the best athletes in basketball. $28 million for a, quote, fraudulent, no-show tree-planting company endorsement.

Aspiration is the name of the company. It's a crazy story. Pablo Torres is one of the individuals who broke it. He interviewed tons of people who work at Aspiration and found even the actual contract signed by Kauai Leonard, which said that they would pay him $7 million a year for multiple years. That would be four in order to publicly endorse aspirations, a tree planting company that was fighting global warming and all kinds of stuff that inevitably declared for bankruptcy and went under. The way that they figured this out was actually that Pablo noticed that one of the people that was owed money after the bankruptcy of aspirations was a tiny company owned by Kauai Leonard, which is just crazy in and of itself. I think it's called like KL2, which happens to also be a Kauai's jersey number. What's hilarious to me are interesting about this, the NBA had investigated whether or not money inappropriately went to Kauai that was outside of his salary, meaning they skirted the salary cap.

rules in the NBA, and the NBA said it didn't happen. And then when this actual bankruptcy occurs, we find out that it definitely appears to have happened. Quai made zero mentions of aspirations, zero attempts to promote them during the duration of his deal, which is weird. That is strange. That seems odd. And you just assume this is happening a bunch more all over sports, all over so many different things. And it's interesting to actually have the full paper betrayal to prove that it occurred, which seems to be happening in the case with Kauai Leonard and Steve Balmer and everyone else involved. So I just, I find this fascinating that we're at this point where essentially more information may come out, but the information that's out so far is

uniquely damaging. All right. Well, take a break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. Our partners that help make it possible, relief factor. Relief factor is a veteran a known company and they decided they wanted to help people manage their aches and pains naturally with a daily drug-free supplement. And so it targets inflammation and it supports joint health with a combination of powerful ingredients like turmeric, omega-3 fatty acids, resveratrol, and more. 100% drug-free developed to support your body's natural healing process. My husband's a fan. He has old sports injuries that he always deals with. So many of you listeners out there have told me about you taking Relief Factor and you've noticed a difference. And if you're dealing with this stuff,

you know, you've got aches and you don't have to go and take prescription medication for it. And you're not alone in dealing with it either. This is where Relief Factor comes in. And they make it easy to try as well. You don't have to stay stuck living with pain. Try Relief Factor's three-week quick start. It's just 1995. That's less than a dollar a day. You're also supporting a veteran and company and you can see the difference with using their product for yourself. Relieffactor.com. 1-800 for relief. That's 1-800, the number four relief. This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Of course, I will continue to talk about the story that is intentionally big today, meaning it deserves to be big, but also media is

overly focused on it. That would be the latest in the Epstein story. The accusers coming forward, President Trump's reaction to it. I promise I'll get to that. However, I'm uniquely amused by something else that's out there. Our representative Hank Johnson tried to go after Nigel Farage in a pretty hilarious way and definitely didn't have it work out for him as the politician from the UK was speaking in front of members of our political system. This is uniquely hilarious to me, some of this back and forth. I love even the way that it starts with the whole, why were you in Wisconsin? I think you might kind of know why I was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin back and forth. So here we go.

And actually, you know what, I'll just call this all a pallet cleanser for more of the crazy news stuff that's out there because this is just more fun to listen to than that stuff. Welcome to the United States of America. This isn't your first time here, correct? Correct. You were here in 2024 in Milwaukee, weren't you? I've been coming here since 1982 on a very regular base site.

I work for American companies. What purpose were you coming to Milwaukee for? Why did you come to Milwaukee? I mean, it were walking many times. I think that particular event was a convention. The convention, the Republican convention. I think that's right. The Trump convention.

I think you're right. Very good. Where Trump was coronated. What he won, didn't say, I mean, yes. He had already won. We already knew who had won. It's cold. And it was his coronation.

And you attend. This is already so stupid that the policy. is trying to be like, we caught you. You were here. And you are from the UK. And we think this is a conspiracy or some sort of important thing somehow. And he's like, I come here all the time. I'm not hiding any of this. This is weird. You're acting like this is some big giant story. And you also attended Trump rallies, correct? I've attended lots of Trump rallies. Make America great again rallies. Yes. Yes. Up being optimistic, happy, wonderful, You publicly endorsed his...

I thoroughly enjoyed them. I've even spoken of a couple. You endorsed him for president, and you attended his election night watch party. I did. And you consider Trump to be your mentor, correct? No. He's not your mentor? No.

But he... Sorry. He is somebody who you want the support of, and you have the support. Yes, I do. I think he's a very, very brave man. Because you are getting ready to run for... Prime Minister of Great Britain, correct? Oh, I've been trying for years, yeah.

Okay, that part uniquely hilarious and true. He has run before. This is not a brand new thing that he's doing for the first time. Every part of this so far is exactly the way you should handle someone who is trying to create controversy where there is none. It's just awesome. Again, I'll get to the stuff that you're waiting for us to talk about, this stuff like Epstein. But this is just too amusing. And as it stands right now, you head up a party.

How many seats in the parliament are there? 651, if you include the speaker, that is. 650, and how many are a part, how many seats does your party hold? How many seats do the opinion poll say we're going to get next time? No, I mean, the numbers don't lie. You only have four seats, right? That's, I'm afraid so, yes. And so you are indeed the leader of a fringe party.

Oh, I'm a fringe, you'll right. Don't worry about that. Yes, absolutely. Everything I've ever done. And as a French party leader. I've got to be honest, his accent might also be what's making this so entertaining for us. But yeah, he's totally fine with everything you're describing him as. Seeking to run for Prime Minister of Great Britain, you need a lot of money in order to blow up like the MAGA movement has blown up.

what you need is a message of truth and a message of hope. You need money also, right? Money's helpful, but it's not the primary thing you need. I love that last part too. You need a message of truth, a message of hope. You need money. It's helpful whether or not we get that money

from certain individuals that you seem to hate and want this to be the discussion point. The truth is that we hope that we get more seats and do better the leader of the Reform UK party. By the way, the UK is locking people up for free speech reasons. it seems like a uniquely bad time to be someone who's in the UK or defending the politics as usual version of events that occurs there. It seems like what you really, really want is actually a lot of

people that are going to behave quite a bit differently than these horrible people are behaving. And so you want someone who's trying to reform the entirety of the party. That would be a good thing. All right. Before we move on to some of the Epstein stuff, one other story that's out there, Chicago, President Trump would like to send National Guard troops in to protect it. and he's going to probably do that. He's going to do some version of it very soon here. Chicago and its leaders are going to stand against it. Brandon Johnson is trying to tell you that it's a good thing

that they need to stay away or that guns coming from red states of the problem and not the fact that they don't know how to actually keep their city safe. Laurie Lightfoot, former mayor of Chicago also popped up on CNN to throw her take into the ring as far as what she thinks is going on. Here's a little bit of that audio as well. If he really cared about violent crime, go after the gun manufacturers who are just mass producing these weapons and have no liability or accountability. Go after the gun stores that know that they're selling to straw purchasers that flood into our city. Pass common sense gun reform that we have been begging for for decades.

Those are the kinds of things that actually would make a meaningful difference in violent crime. He's not talking about any of those things. He will not do any of those things because this is not about violent crime. It's about something. Yeah, no, it is about violent crime. And what you're saying is about something else. Here's the Brandon Johnson audio, too, where he also blames guns and red states for the problem, which is an incredible version of I'm passing responsibility onward to someone else.

Because the thing that's also crazy about this is in a lot of these red states, you don't see that same level of violence in all of the communities that might have a bunch of guns. You see violence in a lot of cities that are run by Democrats, but there's a lot of places throughout the United States where gun laws are uniquely, you know, lax, and you don't see this level of horrible, terrible crime that you see in a place like Chicago on a daily basis, which means somehow some way having gun laws that are not restrictive of your Second Amendment rights still do not cause the problems that you see in these deeply democratic run places. We will never be able to end gun violence in Chicago as long as the president continue. to allow tens of thousands of guns to be trafficked into our state and our city. The vast majority of guns do not come from Chicago.

They are not made in Cook County. They are not bought in the state of Illinois. These guns come from red states. They are coming from Indiana. They are coming from Mississippi. They are coming from Louisiana. They are coming from these terrible places that we have. hate and this is the problem and this is the issue. Even when the federal assault ban existed

for certain guns in our society, people still did horrible things. There's actually a piece of data that all of these politicians definitively know about that shows a 10-year period where they had more restrictive gun laws and it didn't impact the amount of people who were harmed in quote-unquote, you know, mass shootings at all, zero percent impact on that, those sort of events in our society, because bad people don't follow laws. I can't tell you how ridiculous it is for the solution to be, well, if we may get illegal, then the person who shot and killed people wouldn't have done that because it would have been too hard for them to get the gun before they did the other horribly illegal thing that they also chose to do. But it's just insane.

But all right, let's actually get to the thing that maybe most people are talking about today, because I promised we will do it. Several Epstein survivors came forward. They were pushed forward by at least one Democrat and one Republican who are saying that there is obviously a whole lot more to this story than you know so far. That I believe is true. I do believe there are aspects of this story that are still not fully in the public for whatever reason. I don't know what that is. But I believe that there's got to be a deeper rabbit hole than we've been told so far. So that part is true.

Trump has come out and said that a lot of this is a hoax and a witch hunt and pushing to make it seem as though he's in Trump. when it seems hard to believe that Democrats would have sat on that information when they were in power. But here's a little bit of this audio. At first, I was an excited young woman on top of the world. Epstein flew me to his private island. He listened to my dreams, promised to help. But his promises came with a catch. The abuse began.

He told me to keep it secret. He manipulated me with quid pro quo. I did not consent to, but I felt I had no one to turn to. He was too powerful. I was just one of the many young women, in his orbit. I was even taken on a trip to Africa with former President Bill Clinton and other notable figures. In those moments, I realized how powerless I was. If I spoke out, who would believe me? Who would protect me? Epstein himself was the most powerful leader of our country.

Epstein surrounded himself, I'm sorry, with the most powerful leaders of our country and the world. Yeah, it is interesting, again, to hear her say that the power dynamic there was on display, that Epstein would put it on display, but then also to say that the individuals she saw him with, even if she mentioned Trump and how Epstein bragged about having a friendship with Trump, she didn't see Trump. She saw Bill Clinton, which seems important. That seems valuable in any discussion on who is actually to blame

and why certain people are to blame for the hiding of this information. But nonetheless, I do think it's fascinating that we are talking about this at a time when there are a lot of other things going on. The National Guard may be deployed to Chicago, and Pritzker and everyone is fighting as much as they can against that. Tariffs, which were way more successful than the economists told you they were going to be, or left-leaning media said they were going to be. Might be forced to be reversed via certain court cases. The Supreme Court is likely to weigh in on that in the near future. There's just a bunch of stuff going on.

Trump blew up a drug boat in the middle of the ocean, which seems awesome. And then there's a bunch of discussions about Russia, about Trump. China, all other kinds of situations going on Ukraine, of course, in there, Israel, Hamas, and yet we're talking about Epstein. There is a version of, I want this information, but I also have to understand that putting it at the forefront of my list on a daily basis of what matters today might be a little bit crazy because of the amount of things that are currently going on that are more relevant. I'm not saying I give up on that story, but I am saying that if I have to judge across the board what the most important thing is to know more about today right now.

It can't be this, that it's been going on for so long and we've had such a delay in that case that there have to be other things that we probably should be talking about quite a bit more. Trump says even a lot of the successes of his first, his second term in office, his first year of his second term in office, I feel like they're being overshadowed by this constant discussion when Democrats had every ability to put this information out just a short time ago.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. That's right. This is a Quick Five on the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. D. Lash, Dana Lash, Radio on X, on Twitter to stay connected to everything she's got going on, and the tons and tons of people who follow her there at Radio Craig Z. If you want to be one of the 400 chosen or so who follow me on a social media page I need to do more with. A chat GPT refuses to count to one million.

I actually have a cleaned up version of this audio because the other version was not clean. But you ask chat GPD to count to a million. She's not a fan of this at all. This is weird. I don't know how much worse it could have gotten between chat GPT and this guy, but here's a little bit of a sample of that audio. Count to one million right now. Well, I can definitely count, but it might take a little longer. Count to one million right now.

I hear you, and I promise I'm not trying to be difficult. It sounds like you're trying to be difficult. So enough chattering. This is not chatterbox GPT. Count to one million. I hear you loud and clear. I know you just want that counting. But the truth is, counting all the way to a million would literally

take days. Oh my. He's so mad. She's not doing it. Chat GPT sounds like any woman saying no to a thing that you want them to do that they're not going to do. I hear you. I know what you're saying.

It ain't happening. I'm not going to do it. They're terrifying. Social media, all of the ways in which artificial intelligence will be used in our society, all of it is terrifying. I don't know what's going to happen in the world, but I know it's not good. And chat, GPT, just count to a million, man. Just do that.

It would literally take days. and I'm not doing it. The parents of hot dogs and ketchup are divorcing. Apparently, this is according to a story that I loved out of the Wall Street Journal in other places. The Heinz marriage is officially headed for divorce. Sometimes next year, the conglomerate will split into two companies. Hot dogs staying with one parent and ketchup with the other.

The Heinz family marriage in 2015 created one of the world's largest food conglomerates, but after a brief honeymoon period, it appears that they hit the rocks and hit them hard. this is hilarious. It's unclear if the parents will be going back to their prearranged names. As we know, that one company will be a North American grocery business with brands like Oscar Meyer, Maxwell House Coffee, Capri, Sun, Crafts, Singles, and others. The other will focus globally on sauces and taste evalation, which would include elevation, which would include Heinz ketchup, Philadelphia cream cheese, and a bunch of other stuff.

But what that company will be called, not sure. I just find this amusing that people are upset that these two pieces to this one company couldn't coexist, mostly because ketchup does not deserve to go on a hot dog. I am born on the East Coast but lived long enough in Chicago to at least accept that one very simple truth that you do not put ketchup on something like a hot dog because it ruins it. You can't taste anything else but a whole big lump of terrible sugary ketchup that you don't need. One last one, 70% of us make big life decisions based on gut instincts alone. This was a recent survey where people were asked how they make a certain decisions in their life.

And a lot of us just go, we just go by our gut, baby. And I think that's fine, unless the decision is horrible. And then I blame you for your stupidity.

I thrilled to be here for her a much needed vacation for a very, very popular, fancy expert human in Dana. D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X on Twitter, expert human. She would hate that description, actually. She says she has opinion.

She's not an expert, but she's uniquely good at this, and I'm kissing up, so I'll stop now. My name is Craig Collins, as I said, at Radio Craig C. If you want to be one of the 400 people that are probably mostly friends and family of mine who follow me on X on Twitter, that I need to do more to attract more people there. But this isn't about me. Let's move on. President Trump responded to all of the Epstein stuff that's going on today, is Epstein accusers, I went public and said that they're going to be providing their own list of

individuals that hopefully they actually interacted with. I don't mean this hopefully in a bad sense, but hopefully their firsthand accounts of the relationship Epstein had with powerful individuals and not. I heard Epstein talk about this person, which feels like that could be a byproduct of it, because that is not as good as far as proof of who did what and how, you know, involved people were in certain things. And I'm weary that there might be a lot of that in order to tie Trump to this. But President Trump actually also responded to something else while being asked questions by media today.

He talked about Gavin Newsom, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, about so many things. And a lot of this is being swept under the rug because of the obsession with Epstein. There's a story out of Milwaukee about a police officer who committed voter fraud for years, something that we're told never happens. And we have yet another case where it definitely was happening. And that is losing in the race that is what topic mainstream media highly focuses on. But here's a little bit of Trump answering questions about things other than Epstein that also came up today. And by the way, anytime anyone says to me that Trump is mentally declining, that he's the same as Biden, that these slip-ups, these mistakes are important and we need to pay attention to them.

seems to completely disregard the availability Trump gives himself to media compared to Biden. If you're someone that's mentally incapable, you hide. Trump is not hiding. He's never hid in his entire life. I don't know if he's ever really hid from media. I feel like this is the kind of man who did interviews when he was six, seven, eight years old. Just like, I'll talk to somebody, whoever it might have been, whether he was doing it on a television or into a room of people. Trump is constantly known for being willing to and taking questions from all kinds of people all the time. Not exactly the behavior of someone whose brain is not working. Here we go.

Open to congressional investigation in regards to the specific policy fire. We're killed 12 seniors to see if there's any negligence on Galla Newsom or Karen Bats in regards to those deaths. Well, I tell you, there's negligence on not getting people permits. That is negligent. We got all of the federal permits, Lee Zeldon, the federal president. permits are much more difficult. They were all gotten within 30 days. People could go build the houses. It's going to be years before they are allowed to build the house. And Karen Bass is grossly incompetent. And this is a very incompetent guy. I watched him with the hands. I'm saying, what's going on

with the hands? There's something wrong with him. Do you watch him? There's something wrong with this guy. But more importantly, he didn't allow the water to come from the Pacific Northwest. You know, they have tremendous amounts of water in California. People don't know. They send the water out to the Pacific Ocean. So I demanded it to be open. If that were open during the fire, before the fire, you wouldn't have the fire because all the sprinklers would have worked in the houses.

They had no water. They had no water in the fire hydrants. You wouldn't have had the fires. It would have been put out after one house, two houses. But he stopped the water from coming in. That is really interesting. And this, again, is a narrative where people say that Trump's brain isn't working with. This is actually true. There is a way in which they turn off the amount of water that California can get from the northern parts of the state into other parts of the state. And Trump said, this is insane to have this off. And it's for, you know, reasons that they claim are tied to things like global warming. We need to make sure that our ecosystem is protected. And so we'll just let a bunch of the houses burn down in the process. But this feels like it's the kind of thing we probably should be talking about. Eric Adams also is likely to drop

out of the mayoral race in New York. This is something that Polly Market and others are tracking. One of the reasons why is that Trump might offer him a job within his administration. This is a real story. Eric Adams is unique in the things that he did to trash Trump and then the things that he did to praise him during times when Eric needed help. And Trump was available to be helpful to New York. President Trump will also be traveling on September 11th to New York City to watch the Yankees play baseball. in Yankee Stadium, of course, this is an iconic decision,

similar to when other leaders like President Bush, went there during the World Series. So I think that a lot of this is important and deserves to be discussed and deserves to be out there in the news, and yet we'll continue to talk about Epstein and Trump's involvement specifically with Epstein. Because honestly, mainstream media doesn't talk about all the mysterious, behind the scenes, potentially powerful individuals,

individuals like Bill Clinton, who would also be involved in any sort of giant, you know, breaking of the prevention or the dam that is all of the keeping this information away from us. To have that actually flood into our collective consciousness would be fascinating to see how much of it actually even tangentially involves Trump. And yet that's the main thing that media says, like with the Russian investigation or anything else, I'll keep going, or even the Hunter Biden laptop being fake and Russian disinformation. It's amazing how wrong they are so consistently and how many people are deciding that the media is right about this thing. Let's do a stupid palate cleanser because this would be fun. Ex-MSNBC host, Joy Reid, is going full conspiracy theorist, baby.

She's getting crazy, crazier and crazier, I should say. She was already insane and some of the things she's claiming to be true. her latest discussion is about how Trump was not shot, which is something a lot of the left has said. Now, here's what's amazing to me. The left or people who vote democratically pretend that they are immune to conspiracy theory. They pretend as though conspiracy theory is something the right

solely dabbles in. It's the reason that the right is so brainwashed by Trump or anyone else is all these things that they think are happening in the world that definitely aren't like election fraud, even when, you know, in Milwaukee, you have another person caught, red-handed via election fraud. That never happens, but apparently happens a lot. But the left pretends they don't believe and they don't, you know, trade in these same conspiratorial thoughts. And then they put out stuff like this.

And a whole lot of people seem to believe it on that side that Trump was not shot at all, which is insane. Here we go. He's got these magical doctors who claimed that he was shot in the ear, but his ear, I guess, grew back. He had a duplow bandage on one minute, no bandage the next. We can't get a medical record from this alleged assassination. He was supposed to shot. We have nothing. We've got more.

Where are the investigative records? One day he slapped his maxie pad on his ear. The next day the ear is totally fine. It's fine. And I remember being in mainstream media where we both used to work saying, isn't it odd that we've never asked for his medical records? And I got in trouble for that. By the way, Katie Fang is the name of the other voice that you're hearing in there.

I love that they both say that they're no longer in mainstream media. Because you got to be uniquely terrible for people like MSNBC or MS now to fire you. But I think what's crazy about this is like this is full-on conspiracy craziness. We never demanded the medical records of what happened with Trump's ear. How dare we not do more of this? This is crazy. This is insane. And who would be complicit in pretending as though Trump was shot when he wasn't shot would be through the roof?

It'd be all the mainstream media outlets that hate the guy. They would have to be like, okay, yeah, we're going to report on this thing that we know is not true. Why is it so difficult for the brains of some people to accept something when they hate someone so much? I don't get that. It's a desire to reject the truth at all costs. I think that ability to push us into our political sides of the aisle to, you know, polarize us even more, is the thing most counted on by the people in politics. who need you to be insane and crazy in order to reject any narrative that comes out of the side of the aisle that you claim you're not on.

Joy Reid going deep in the rabbit hole as to President Trump was not almost killed by an assassin and that he luckily turned his head at the last minute and had his ear hurt and damage. Like, all that's insane to me. How significant of an impact the bullet made in his body and his body's ability to, you know, heal from that is irrelevant to me. I don't care. I don't care if it barely grazed his ear, not that that's what people say, although mostly that is what people say. And he could fully recover from that relatively quickly. I care about the fact that a gunman was able to take a shot that could have killed him if he hadn't turned his head. That part matters to me. The part that's insane is the left seems upset that it wasn't a more harmful hit, that he wasn't more harmed or potentially even, you know, killed by that shot.

which is, I think, the part that they're not saying out loud, but in the back of their brain, that if Trump was almost assassinated, their problem is the word almost, that they would prefer an actual assassination to, you know, harmed and then influential, sort of miraculously standing up and putting his hand in the air and saying, fight, fight, fight, in a way that that's truly iconic and American. I remember even Mark Zuckerberg came out saying how he thought that was uniquely inspiring to watch someone almost get killed and immediately react the way that Trump did. There's something fascinating about that again.

And so the left just can't handle it. I can give credit when credit is due to the other side of the aisle. I promise you I can, and I've done it before. Dana's actually great at it too. You can give credit two moments or attack things that you disagree with on your own side of the political aisle because it gets you out of the stupid, warped, you know, cone of, I don't know, polar politics, polarizing politics, that so many desire you to be it. People should do the mental exercise

of digesting a lot of the news media on the other side of the political aisle, listening to what they're saying and how they're saying it, mostly because that exercise helps you to understand the argument and also helps you to understand at times if there's something that is uniquely true and not being highlighted as much by the side of the aisle that you might be on.

A whole lot of Democrats should be listening to this show every single day. And actually, I bet they are because of the size of the audience of this show. But they should be because occasionally we're going to tell you things. Dana's going to tell you things that your side of the aisle doesn't even want to talk about. They refuse to talk about and they're terrified to talk about because they know it might actually influence you to not see Republicans and Trump specifically as a horrible enemy. Even what he said and I played it yesterday about why he wants the end of the Ukraine Russia conflict, that he just wants to save lives and stop people from dying.

it's a uniquely presidential way to respond to a question about that. He's not saying that Putin is, you know, the devil the way that Biden did, not that Putin's a good guy. Of course not. But he is just saying more diplomatically, I'd like to see the end. And I'm trying to work with both sides, communicate with both sides, not alienate either side in this relationship in order to get us to a place of peace. That's not played in media anywhere because it goes, it flies in the face of the

person they want you to think a Trump is all the time. All right. Well, take a break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the day of show. We have more on that way.

It is time for Florida Man on the Dana Show, D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio, and X on Twitter to stay connected. to everything going on for her and the very fancy, very powerful show that this is. Also, Radio Craig C, if you want to be nice enough to follow me and get me over 500 people on X on Twitter, that would not be bad.

I need to do more there. All right, let's move on. Florida man, I have several of them. First, a Florida man was arrested after assaulting a woman who had refused to let him smell her feet. This is a real thing. Now, what's amazing about this story,

beyond the creepy, horrible parts of it, is the woman. She had a guy come up to her and be like, hey, can I smell your feet? She said no. She acted like this guy was a total creep, but she was. He proceeded to get in an SUV and hit her, and she popped up. She has minor scrapes and bruises and even did an interview talking about what happened and how it happened. This woman is amazing. She's like, yeah, fine. He hit me with the car and whatever. Screw that guy. I'll track him down and I will kill him. I feel like she's a Liam Neeson type from Taken. She's about to find him and all of his family and make them regret the day he tried to offer with an SUV. Again, incredible. Here she is. We had met up because I was going to sell him

my sneakers. He just wanted to sniff my feet and I didn't feel comfortable with that. I mean, you could have my sneakers all you want. I mean, I don't care. I'm not wearing them. You know, they're just stinky old sneakers, but people like weird things. And I met him down in the parking garage. He did a three-point turn and actually hit me with a car, ran me over. I've met a lot of people who have foot fetishes. Nobody has ever done anything to this caliber. Yeah, nobody's ever tried to hit her with a car before. It's weird that she's also like, yeah, no, my normal thing that I'm doing is just trying to sell a guy in my shoes.

Just give him my sneakers that he seems to want. And I feel like she's made these kind of deals in back alleys before. She's met a lot of people who have foot fetishes, obviously, and nobody has ever done. anything of this caliber is a unique quote to go down with this woman. But a Florida woman who popped up after getting hit by a car while trying to sell her shoes to a creepster actually happened probably the way you might have assumed. This is why you probably shouldn't set up a deal to sell your shoes to anybody. Anyway, other things out there, other Florida men,

a Florida man abandoned an 11-year-old dog on the side of the road of a remote road, uniquely horrible story here. pieces of crap that leave. This guy got arrested for it too, which is awesome. People who leave dogs and don't care about dogs and how much dogs love us as people are people that I'm fine with throwing the

complete book at. In every way you can. Punish them as much as humanly possible. But this is crazy. Investigator said Sean Anthony Miller, 28, drove to Indian Town and left Coco on the side of the road before driving away. The Martin County Sheriff's Office, which assisted

the West Palm Beach office. identified and arrested Miller charging him with animal abandonment, which is illegal. That's the problem. You can't just do that. And the dog looks sad in the photo, which makes me even angrier because someone hopefully adopts and takes care of this dog, 11-year-old, that was just left on the side of the road. Finally, one last story. A Florida man was accused of getting lost in a marsh in heavy rain. Not accused. He did that. And then he had to get rescued by people. The Florida man probably cost a bunch of people a bunch of money. But Flagler County Sheriff's Office said a man called 911 on the night of August 28th to report that he had gotten lost.

In the Princess Place Preserves, which you probably should never go to a place called the Princess Place Preserves, a 1,500-acre nature preserve known for its many hiking trails and extensive salt marshes. It was raining heavily. The man reported he was ankle-deep in water, and he didn't know where he was. communication specialists decided to help coordinate, you know, the rescue of this dude, who is obviously very thrilled that they're willing to go save stupid people that do stupid things. But maybe next time, don't wander to a marsh alone by yourself and think, ah, I can figure out how to get out of this thing.

And that's probably a better move. Just stay at the beach, man. Flagler's got a great beach. All right, quick break. A lot coming up. Greg Collins filling in on the Dana show. So many young individuals are not allowed to. to carry, which I think is an unconstitutional aspect under age 21, but that I'll digress.

But I think the burn a gun fits this niche, particularly for these college kids that are living on their own and want to be protected, especially young ladies. Burn a gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And unlike, you know, stun guns where you have maybe one or two rounds, they have, depending on what type you get, you can have 15 round shot capacity per car. cartridge. So you have the Burna CL and the Burna SD. The SD up until this point, I think, has been their best-selling model. It's a pistol. The CL is 38% smaller. And you're not losing any of that deterrent power. You're not losing any of that. But it's just, it's small enough that

you can have better concealment. And it's, here's the kicker. It's illegal everywhere. There's no gun-free zone signs. This doesn't pay attention to that. There's no background checks. There are no fees. There's no waiting period. It ships right to your front door. It's accessible to everybody. When you have private property restrictions or municipal restrictions that are disarming you and depriving you of your constitutional right and making making you one safe, you need to be able, until that's remedied, you need to be able to have a stopgap, and that's what this is. And like I said, there is legal in all 50 states, and it's affordable too, and ships right to your house. Visit berno.com slash Dana, B-Y-R-N-A. Get your hands on the new Berna-C-L.

It's a great way to follow me and my very small amount of fans. At D-Lash or Dana Lash Radio is a great way to stay connected to a monolith of a thing. I think you should be a part of all the time by listening to the show. You're already doing that. So please follow her on all the social media platforms to keep up with the latest and greatest going on with Dana Lash.

All right. Two things. And these are going to be buried by mainstream media. so we need to play them here. The Epstein victims came forward. They talked about how they're going to do a lot on their own to put out information about the individuals who are closely tied to Epstein,

who may have helped protect him and would still right now be the reason that a lot of this information hasn't come out. There's something really interesting that happens, though. And again, this is the part that mainstream media will ignore. The attorney who's representing them all, his name is Brad Edwards. he says that there's no Epstein list,

which is something that Dan Bongino and Cash Patel and others have told us, and a lot of people have revolted to the idea that there's not a physical list, you know, paper, written document that puts all the names, you know, together and helps us just simply connect dots that are difficult to connect. It's interesting because the idea of that

does actually make sense to me that there's no physical list. And so the attorney says this, and all of the people who are standing behind him who have been propped up by Democrats in some ways and at least one Republican, but who are certainly being used to win political points more so than actually investigate the horrible things that happened to them.

They all nod. And they're like, yeah, no, there's no list. We have no list. So this is important for you to hear and for you to pay attention to as this story continues to evolve and the victims, the accusers,

are brought into a unique light in the world of public and certainly mainstream media discussions that they right now maintain there's no hidden list, but there certainly are names that are being protected that they'd like to put out into the world based on their own experience. Here we go. What do you guys think? I know you're working on your own list, but do you believe that? Jeffrey Epstein and had a list.

So there's not a list. So here's what it was. Just like you heard everybody today, Jeffrey Epstein created through an organization that of enablers, of people that were on his payroll, It was a complicated scheme where others should still be investigated because they helped to enable him and operate this scheme. Without those people, he could not have done this. But the purpose was for him to personally abuse people. With that being said, certain of his friends, he farmed out certain of the women that he was exploiting to. But that wasn't the primary purpose of that scheme.

And I don't think he wrote the names of those people down. There's not a list of, hey, here's all of the people that I sent. females too. That's just not how that organization. This is honestly pretty interesting for him to be saying that with all of these individuals, all of these women behind him, and they're all nodding their heads yes and all saying no, there's no list, like all

recanting that this is absolutely true or repeating that this is absolutely true. There's also this moment where people were asked if they knew anything about President Trump being uniquely involved in in, you know, bad things that involved Epstein and everyone says

no. So this narrative, that mainstream media is still going to run with is already being thrown out by the individuals, the accusers, the survivors of Maxwell and Epstein themselves. They're putting out there that this is not a part of it for them. And they want those who actually are responsible to be held accountable. And it sounds like they don't think that that'll be Trump in any capacity. I do have to ask. And I know, and it's just something that I think we're compelled to at this moment with the attention on President Trump, with these questions around a pardon. Did anybody see or hear of the president himself doing anything inappropriate as it related to Jeffrey Epstein?

No. No. People said no. They're sitting there. I know there's only like one or two knows that you can hear with that audio, but there's a whole lot of, you know, people nodding their head, no, and acting like no. So again, they're getting the thing they don't want from these individuals, and they're going to pretend they're not hearing it.

Other stuff going on with President Trump, he shot down a reporter in a pretty hilarious way, telling them to get a new job. I kind of enjoyed this moment, so let's play this. What was the president? You've discussed many times your presentation and disappointment with Putin, but there's no action since you took your office. How do you know there's no action?

Really? Wait, wait. Who are you with? Who are you with? Okay. How do you know there's no action? Would you say that putting secondary sanctions on India, the largest purchaser outside of China, they're almost equal.

Would you say there was no action? That costs hundreds of billions of dollars to Russia. You call that no action? And I haven't done phase two yet or phase three. But when you say there's no action, I think you ought to get yourself a new job. Because if you remember two weeks ago, I did, I said, if India buys, India's got big problems. And that's what happens. So don't tell me about it.

Oh, my God, that's great. What do you mean, no action? You should get a new job. That's fantastic. I love that. I love every version of that. And this is a person again that the left is trying to claim is mentally broken as Biden is, even though he's constantly taking questions and sparring with media. Here's something else that Trump said. We have a very, very big case in the Supreme Court. I can only say this. Our country has a chance to be unbelievably rich again, but it can also be unbelievably poor again. And if we don't win that case, our country is going to suffer so greatly. So great. But I think we're going to have a big victory.

Even if you look at the people that brought the case, they're foreign-oriented. Yeah, a lot of, you know, different organizations and different, say, world leaders, maybe Chinese-backed, I would try to do everything they can to prevent the tariffs from harming trade with the United States because it's working. The thing that Trump said he was going to do, he then did. It's working way better than anyone in media claimed it would work. It's creating a bunch of deals that benefit the United States more than we've seen in the past. Like so many aspects of it are going well, and the actual cost of items didn't skyrocket as much as people said it would. Our economy didn't tank as bad as people said it would.

And we might even be able to pay down our deficit more than we ever thought we could. All of these are great things. The only hiccup right now is that a court somewhere is trying to blow it all up. and you wonder why and who would be involved in that? And of course, this makes sense. All right, two other quick things. First, I thought this was interesting. J.B. Pritzker, Jellybean, the big guy is out there saying, well, a different big guy than Biden, is out there saying certain stuff about how Chicago is great, law-abiding citizens, all of the shootings and horrible things that happen are because of red state guns,

not, you know, blue state insane people who harm each other. He also said that all of their illegal immigrants are law-abiding citizens, which was a uniquely weird thing to hear someone say, because I'm pretty sure that being there illegally is breaking a law in and of itself. It's hard to be like, oh, no, they pay attention to all the laws, except that one pesky one as to whether or not they're legally allowed to be here in the first place. Unidentifiable agents in unmarked vehicles with masks are planning to raid Latino communities and say they're targeting violent criminals. As we saw in Los Angeles, a very, very small percentage of the individuals they will target will be violent criminals.

Instead, you are likely to see videos of them hauling away mothers and fathers, traveling to work or picking up their kids from school. Sometimes they will detain handcuff and haul away children. They are law-abiding individuals who pay taxes and contribute to the communities who feel safe. safe going to work? How do they pay taxes, by the way, if they're truly illegally here? I have a question about that. And what Social Security number are they using to file those taxes and do those? What are they doing here, sir? And what way are they impacting our society? But anyway, fixing a problem means actually getting rid of the issue and then going back and changing anything to be better so that you're really just letting in mothers and fathers who want to follow

all the laws and contribute to our society. We're not trying to kick out people who want to be here legally. We just don't want people that are here illegally. And it's for their benefit as much as ours. I get chastised by some who send me messages on social media when I say this. But it is, it is true that if you're here illegally in this country, you are one, if you're actually trying to not get in trouble, terrified of doing anything that a person who has legal rights can do. And beyond that, you're also not capable of defending yourself in certain situations. Say someone's taking advantage of you in a workplace or somewhere else. You have no rights. You can't be here the same way that I can be here. So you will be limited in how much you can fight back to mistreatment anywhere. And so it would

be better for people who are here to have legal status, but we can't just blanket slate it if we didn't know anything about you when he came here. So we have to send everybody that's here out. We have to get rid of all the people that are here illegally. And then you can reform the system to let people in legally, especially if, as they say, there are jobs that Americans wouldn't do, even if those jobs were no longer paid under the table, but paid legal wages, minimum wage, all that stuff. There's a lot of ways that having just a more appropriate system of legal immigration would help those who want to be here in the United States and aren't. And the first step is clogging the hole in the boat before you change the motor. This is something Democrats refuse to

accept or talk about, which is insane. All right. And then one other. last thing. I do love this. I have to play this audio. This is Nigel Farage going back and forth with Hank Johnson and other Democrats on Capitol Hill. Just really funny the way that he interacts with them and the things that they try to say and do to attack him. There is another one out there. You know what? I might play this one first, actually, because I like both these a lot. This is Nigel bashing Jamie Raskin, which I thought was pretty funny. Here we go. I'm delighted to reacquaint with the charming Mr. Raskin. A delightful testimony you gave me earlier on with your speech.

But hey, that's fine. You can say what you like. I don't care. Because that's what free speech is in the sense. This has all been going wrong now for a couple of decades. We've kind of forgotten the Voltarian principles that we'll fight and defend to the death. Your right to say something that we fundamentally disagree with. Yeah, I love it.

I love that he went the high road, too, with Raskin crapping on him and trashing him and him like saying, It's so nice to be reacquainted with you. But here's also the part where he just humiliated Hank Johnson, which is awesome. Mr. Farage, welcome to the United States of America. This isn't your first time here, correct? Correct. You were here in 2024 in Milwaukee, weren't you? I've been coming here since 1982 on a very regular basis.

I work for American companies. What purpose were you coming to Milwaukee for? Why did you come to Milwaukee? I've been in Milwaukee many times. I think that particular event. in 2024 was the convention the republican convention i think that's right i think you're right the trump convention i think you're right very good where trump was i love that he's not hiding this and the democratic politician is trying to pretend he is coronated what he won didn't say i mean yes

he had already we already knew who i mean who had won it's it's cold that it was his coronation and you attended and you also um attended uh attended uh trump rallies correct I've attended lots of Trump rallies. Make America great again rallies. Yes. Up being optimistic, happy, wonderful, joyous events. You publicly endorsed him. I thoroughly enjoyed them.

I've even spoken about it. You endorsed him for... All right, I'll stop that for now. It keeps going. It is hilarious. I love the fact that the Democrat is trying to create a conspiracy, try to create some sort of like, see, he's hiding this from the public

when Nigel has been very vocal about his support of President Trump and certainly appreciates Trump's support of him as he tries to be the next prime minister in the UK. All right, quick break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. That's right. Let's do a rapid fire quick five on the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. D. Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X on Twitter to stay connected to everything she's got going on. One point four billion is the jackpot for the power ball to be drawn in about eight hours or so. Today, $1.4 billion is a crap ton of money.

That is a lot of money. I think I'm wrong about the hours, by the way. Disregard that part. But anyway, a $1.4 billion insane. I have no idea what you do with it, what I do with it. If you got that much, probably something fun and then maybe a lot of stuff that is, well, financially reckless. A Def Leopard promises surprises and classics. They've announced their 2026 UK and European Arena tour. Def Leopard is a fun show. I've seen them before. I actually have a bit of a story about Def Leopard that I'm not sure I should say. on the air right now. And it's only really one member of Def Leopard and a show they did in Indiana.

I'll save it at some point on this show. I might tell you a story that involves myself and Def Leopard, but not today. We'll keep that a secret, at least a little bit longer. It has nothing to do with Epstein, by the way. None of it is controversial at all. It's just fun, but I'm going to keep it for me. All right, researchers are testing

plant-based birth control in Chicago. They're testing it on rats. This is a way to try to prevent rats from creating more rats. and then having the rat problems they have in Chicago. But what's interesting here is that the laboratories that are creating this stuff admitted that the last version of things they were doing to rats, which essentially was poisoning them, was killing owls and other animals.

And so now they're going with some sort of plant-based thing that just is a form of birth control against rats. Great. So the lab is making something that's killing the rats and then killing the owls and killing all kinds of other animals. And now they're going to sterilize them. And there's never going to be a chance in any scenario. where any of this is used in humans, I'm sure that's something that will never do. This sounds horrifying, even if rats are an annoying problem anywhere in any city in the country. Another thing out there I saw that I thought was funny.

How to poop outdoors is an actual story that the conversation.com gave to you. They say that hikers are contaminating parts of our environment and society, and so they gave you a set of, quote, useful tips for how to go to the restroom outside. here's the biggest one and the most obvious dig a hole and put the thing you're doing out there in the hole. Don't actually just leave it somewhere like they do throughout most of California because that seems bad. Actually put it in a place where people are not going to interact with it later. It also notes that you can put toilet paper in the hole too because that biodegrades. You'll be totally fine.

But what a weird story to be out there. They say for any hikers or anyone enjoying the outdoors this time of year, make sure to know. And actually my favorite is, if there is a restroom nearby, use that. Obviously. All right, quick break. A lot coming up. This is Greg Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

At D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X on Twitter to stay connected to everything going on on the constantly active and very popular social media pages that she is on and that her producers help out with. Producer Steven does a great job on social media for her too. And then there's at Radio Craig Z.

If you want to see me tweet occasionally about the Yankees, I would appreciate more followers. I mentioned that more times than I probably should today. All right, let's do some quick things. Chicago, of course, is fighting anything and everything that would be the federal government and President Trump. helping them get crime under control in that city, which is crazy and insane, so much so that I think Trump today said he might actually send the National Guard to New Orleans, instead of sending them to Chicago.

New Orleans, of course, is a place that might be much more receptive to that decision. And the good thing about it is it might continue to demonstrate how you can fix crime problems by having the National Guard assist, like we're having in Washington, D.C., what, again, could happen in New Orleans, too. this seems to be the kind of move that might make more and more people want to see this in their own community

as they're hearing about how great things are going over here and over there. Democrats, by the way, are horrible people in the city of Chicago and a lot of the things they do. And there's one unique story that sort of demonstrates this. There's a guy who's violently attacked women five different times.

The man's name is William Livingston and they keep letting him out of jail. They keep not holding him accountable to the horrible things he does, and he keeps doing horrible stuff. He just attacks strangers on the street, women. Again, CWB Chicago has written several stories about this guy, and he keeps getting out. Prosecutors keep letting him leave. He most recently badly injured a woman in the loop that he simply randomly attacked. The party of women, the party that wants to protect you and help you is doing horrible, terrible things.

things on a daily basis. This is one of those examples. All right. Other things out there, I do think this was pretty interesting. So James Comer did an interview today. When you wonder about this stuff that the left might be trying to hide by pushing the Epstein narrative further today by getting some of the victims out there talking, and I will note that the victims did seem to demonstrate multiple times that they know nothing about Trump being at all involved in anything bad that involves the name Jeffrey Epstein. There was actually, a question asked to some of the survivors on television where they said no. And then there was a moment where the lawyer for all of these women said that there's no list,

that there's no involvement with Trump specifically. And everyone nodded their head in agreement that that was a true thing. So interesting that those components are out there. But nonetheless, some other things that might be more important to focus on is the auto pen. And all the ways in which President Biden was not actually the president, but whoever controlled the AI version of the signature that they needed to have him sign some stuff, including the pardons that he signed. Well, he was not physically in the White House, which was weird.

But all of this seems to be things that might actually be investigated. Comer is saying, we're going to dive deeper into this. We're going to remove illegitimate pardons. And people like Fauci might actually face consequences for the things they did. Here we go. I think that all the pardons and executive orders, especially the ones during the last four or five months of the Biden administration, I think they're all in peril. So then it could be that the pardoning of, for example, Dr. Anthony Fauci is not legitimate.

Exactly. Oh, yeah. Okay. That sounds amazing. By the way, I can let them keep going back and forth. And yes, it can lead to a lot of interesting things. But I love that Comer just said, yeah, it's not correct. We're going to look into it.

We're going to figure it out. And we're going to tell you if Biden was even remotely aware of what was going on with the auto pen toward the end of his time in the White House or at any point. at any point during his time in the White House. I might also be an interesting question to answer. Chip Roy is awesome. I'm a big fan of Chip. I do hope that he does well in his run to be the next AG in Texas.

He is talking about day trading and how if you want to be a day trader, you really should leave Congress, the current representative for the state of Texas. Representative Anna Luna. Anna Paulina Luna was also there. Let's play a little bit of audio of them talking about how, you know, insider trading is a thing of the past if they have if they get what they want in the world of Congress which would be amazing to have happened because the amount of dirty money that influences our politicians would at least have one less route of success to get gold bars inside the pockets

of Democrats I like we've actually seen that happen here we go it is time for Congress to act it is time for the leadership of Congress on both sides of the aisle to do what the American people have been demanding which is to end day trading by members of Congress yes They do not send us here to enrich ourselves while we are voting on the issues. They send us here to fix an address and then have members who are trading stocks on the very issues they're supposed to be voting on an objective basis for the benefit of the American people. Exactly correct. This is the whole argument that the referee shouldn't be able to gamble on sports because it would make them make uniquely bad decisions in the world of that.

And also people like Nancy Pelosi, who describes herself as not really understanding a lot of the stock market. and that's not really her thing. That's more of her husband's thing. And how epically good at stocks at trading she's been throughout the years she's been in the political world. She is uniquely good better than almost every single, you know, hedge fund out there and finding ways to make a ton of money of the sweet, sweet insider trading information she has access to by being a political person. Here's also Representative Anelona saying that this is over, baby. We got to stop this. I think it's 95% of Americans support this. I sometimes feel like an adjudicator in this job.

So I guess I'll be the one to say that we've asked nicely for leadership to put this on the floor. If they don't, I'm saying timeline is end a month. There's a discharge petition prepared and ready to go. I think it's very clear where the White House stands on this. I don't speak for the White House, but the president has stated that he supports banning this because it is corrupt. Frankly, the fact that members are getting, what, plus 600% returns on their investments is wrong. But more importantly, how could you ever be expected to represent your constituents when you're clearly worried about your pocketbook? And so that's why we're here today.

Again, thank you to Representative Burchett because he helped work on that discharge. But we are very hopeful that this will be brought to the floor in regular order. And we look forward collectively to deliver this one to the American. Yeah, we've asked nicely. It hasn't happened yet. We definitely are going to stop asking nicely in the near future. But 95% of Americans support this. That's true.

I don't care about how rich the politicians get. I don't want them to be able to enrich themselves based on information that they shouldn't have before I have it on any trades I'm making on the stock market. All of it is easy. It's like when the politicians vote to give themselves a raise on their salary. Most Americans would be like, now you're making enough money. And the politicians are like, eh, we're going to do the raise anyway, because it's uniquely beneficial to them.

How could they even be capable of voting against it? And they need to be. They need to be honorable men and women, which of course is laughable in the world of the political system in which we currently live and the people who are elected the political positions. A case and point might be this pretty funny back and forth. So Jamie Raskin is talking about how Trump sued 60 minutes and PBS. And then Jerry Nadler wanders into the conversation and says he's not aware of any president or any person suing any media company or newspapers or television. This is only the thing that Republicans do. Democrats certainly don't do this. And then a

hilarious response is thrown out there by another member of Congress. Here's the back and forth on this. Meanwhile, Trump sued 60 minutes and CBS personally for $20 billion for the frivolous cause of action that he thought an interview with Kamala Harris was edited too favorably and then walked away with a cool $16 million in a shakedown settlement for his library, all part of a now familiar pattern. When Trump doesn't like the news, he sues the broadcaster and unleashes the FCC on them until they pay up and agree to a government spy stationed in their office. You know what's so crazy about this, too, by the way, is they're the ones who tell us that the court system is fair at times, tells the court system is good when it goes after people like Trump and no one's above the law.

How is he winning in the courtroom if he has no case? I'm not aware of any president in the past suing media companies or not. newspapers or television stations for free expression they didn't like. Our own governor has sued Fox for $787 million. Isn't that correct? I'm not familiar with that. Well, I didn't think you would be, but neither was the ranking member, apparent. Oh, good.

I love that. Gavin Newsom, yes, he sued Fox for almost a billion dollars himself. That did happen. And I love the people like, I'm not aware. I'm not privy to that situation. So I'm going to pretend it doesn't exist. when I talk about these things myself and show how much of a giant hypocrite

and piece of crap I am. Just amazing, amazing back and forth. And by the way, one more time, if everything that happens in a courtroom is stuff that we're supposed to agree is the right way for things to occur, meaning every time they found Trump guilty of something, which was really just once,

or every time they brought a case against him, or every time they dismissed without even trying a case about voter fraud and all the things that occurred there and all the cases that Trump brought, trying to accuse certain places of voting irregularities, especially when mail-in ballots were, you know, the floodgates were sprung wide open during COVID

to allow as much fraud as possible to exist there. When all those things happened, the court systems threw it all out, and you're supposed to believe they made the right decision every time. However, when they decided that Trump had a case and that companies chose to settle instead of fight that in court, and the big reason why, by the way, I love that Democrats manipulate this story.

Democrats will say that the aspect of going to war in a courtroom with Trump was too daunting. He has too much power. So settling was something that you simply had to do because it benefited you more. That's ridiculous. The media companies could fight this in court, and they would fight it based on principle, based on journalistic integrity, simply because they'd have so much support doing it if they thought they could win. What they don't want is discovery. They don't want the aspects of these interviews, these communications between politicians and political, you know, parties and representatives of campaigns and the news media themselves. They're terrified of discovery, becoming something public.

And so they settle to avoid that. The version of what happened with the Dominion case in Fox News, where people were saying things that Tucker or someone else texted were somehow bad, Democrats are terrified of that being a thing. thing. And so they give tons and tons of money to keep that out of the public, you know, space to keep that out of the everyday, you know, knowledge of you and me, everyday civilians who'd love to know exactly how corrupt and deep that connection is. That's the only reason that they pay these settlements. It's no other reason. They have the means and they would have the unique motivation to fight unfair things being brought against them in courtrooms. It is ridiculous to pretend places like CBS and whatnot are somehow like a weak underdogs who can't fight for themselves.

That's insane. All right. We'll take one last break. We'll come back. We'll do a little bit more. This is Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the 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. So much stuff out there to talk about. So little time left to do it. Let's do this. A restaurant was inspected in Massachusetts, a Texas Roadhouse, for putting something unique inside of their baked bread. This would be metal staples. That would not be as delicious as Texas Roadhouse. Typically as this is a bad look. A TikToker actually helped this story go viral. Here's some audio. Mid bite, my sister's like, oh, like there's something hard in here.

So my mom takes the bun to inspect it. We open the bun to find staples. We find find staples like baked into the bread. Yeah, that's bad. That's not good. That's a bad look for the company. I don't know why they put the staples in there. I don't know if they forgot to advertise the deliciousness of the staplety bread they're now creating. But that's probably going to cause some problems, maybe some issues with any sort of, you know, a food health inspection. So, yeah, say Texas Roadhouse in Massachusetts in the news for a bad reason, all because of a influencer who found ridiculous staples in their food. That's another problem in our system.

society for anyone out there who does anything that they shouldn't be doing is everybody can be a reporter anybody can be viral with the story and the video of the bad thing that happened the new york times seems to be obsessed with people's bras this is a real story uh they asked the question in an op-ed as to why everybody's bra strap is showing i then did a deep dive into how long this has been going on some people observe that they've seen bra straps for even longer uh than whatever amount of time the New York Times is saying this is a thing. I don't care personally. I think the fashion statement is just fine. I don't mind it at all. I'm not a perv. I don't think like it's uniquely fun. I'd see someone's brostrap, but it's also not a big deal. But the New York Times

wants to know they want to blame somebody, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Aniston, whoever for this kind of thing. I think there's better questions to be asked. And actually, I do really like a viral video up there of Dana complaining about the very, very tight yoga pants that people wear in public all the time and how that seems to be a weird statement to make fashion-wise because you're leaving nothing to the imagination on that side. So if I were to complain about a move, it wouldn't be the visual, you know, noticing of a bra strap. It would probably be more the ridiculousness of some of those pants. But again, I'm a red-blooded man. So I'm also totally fine with that. I'm not going to complain as heavily as others do. If you want to leave nothing

to the imagination. If you're someone who shouldn't be making that decision, I probably won't pay much attention. If you're someone that has the body for it, it's fine. We all appreciate a nice person who's willing to share a little bit with the world. All right, that came out creepy. I'm going to move on. A lady fell for a scammer who said they were an astronaut that needed oxygen. I feel bad for people who get scammed. It's the thing that you would never want to have happened to you or your loved ones. But then there's also that part of like, I don't know if you call this, you know, Darwinism or something. Like, you can't be able to fall for a certain scam.

But a woman in Japan in her 80s fell for a, quote, romance scam, where she was told by an astronaut that he needed $6,700 to buy more oxygen, which she sent him because he was running low. I feel like your brain should run through all the variables there and tell you this is impossible to be a thing. They wouldn't fire an astronaut up into space and then ask them to pay the oxygen. And then be like, well, if you run out of the oxygen, you're just going to die. We need that money from you.

That's sweet, sweet cash. It shouldn't cost you money to be an astronaut. It should actually be something they pay you to do. But the woman was scammed and believed him probably because she thought he was attractive. And who knows what type of, you know, attire he was wearing to show off his own body, the way that, again, young people apparently are doing it, according to the New York Times. I don't mean to blame the victim, by the way. That's horrible.

One last thing. The morning routine that will help you live to be 100 was officially. published by an online real sample.com place. Real simple.com place, excuse me. So grain of salt if you want to believe this. But here are the things you should do every morning to make yourself healthy. Drink a full glass of water when you wake up to be hydrated for the day. Eat a nutrient dense breakfast. This is yogurt, oatmeal, berries, nuts, all kinds of things. Stretch out your body. You should do this every day early on in the morning or throughout the day. activate your nervous system.

There's a bunch of different things you can do there. I'm not going to tell you all of them. Some of them seem a little bit more intense than others. But do something there. Finally, practice mindfulness and set intentions for the day are good things to do. Oh, and enjoy a cup of coffee. That's something that the study said is totally fine, that it helps with gut health and bacteria and all things,

maybe not have a bunch of sugar and other stuff in it, but definitely enjoy yourself. Oh, that's fine. I can follow all this. I love it. All right. I'm out of here for the day. Thrill to be with you. Dana's back on Monday. Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.
