The accused Palisades arsonist says he was inspired by CEO of murderer Luigi Mangione and resentment of the rich. Massive home health Medicaid fraud is uncovered in Ohio. Will the GOP leaders there do anything about it? And congressional Democrats are already plotting the next government shutdown to demand changes to ice. And really to impact the midterms. I'm Greg Corumbus, inviting you to join Jim Garrity of National Review and me each weekday for the Three Martini Lunch podcast. We'll give you the top news, some good laughs, and we'll be done in 30 minutes. Follow the Three Martini Lunch on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in.

Yielded a little too loud into the microphone there. Thrilled to be with you. A lot of stuff out there to talk about. Let's do this. Let's play some audio of President Trump talking about the dishonorable people that happen to be the leadership in Iran. I've had to deal with them four or five times. They change your mind.

They're very dishonorable people, the leadership. Don't forget it's the third level. The first level is God. They were unreasonable. The second level is more reasonable. The third level, nobody wants to be president, you know? They say, who wants to be president? There's nobody racist.

But where they just, they change their mind. I've had that in business many times. You know, the mind changes you go. These people, you make a deal, and then the next day they send you a document that takes five days to get there when it should have been there in 20 minutes. You know, it's pretty simple.

Because everything changed. The biggest reason, that you get mad at the name changers or the idea changers, the people who don't care at all what they say in person is because of the ridiculous amount of things that they then believe that they said when they get home and write up the document. Like, no, I said this. I thought this thing over here. This is going to be better for everybody involved. And it never is. We all know it never is. Let's play this. This is President Trump also unveiling his nickname for Democrats who don't support his agenda, fairly easy as far as Trump nicknames go, but still a pretty good one.

Here we go. I was hunted by some very bad people. Now I'm the hunter. It's much better when you're the hunter, but these are bad people, and they'll give you no support at all, no matter how good it is. I mean, as an example, I don't know what the numbers are, but if we go to Congress to get something approved, which we get, but you can say that we're going to reduce drug prices by 80% and we won't get one Democrat. I don't know how they get away with it. That's why we call them the Democrats.

They're Democrats because they're dumb. They're dumb people. Look, this is not, you know, creating the nicknames that go as well. It's not even Sleepy Joe, a level of good, but the Dumbo-Krats is fine with me. Because, yes, there are a lot of people who are motivated by things other than logic. When they decide what to do, what not to do, who to support, who not to support, oftentimes of course they're not supporting President Trump and it doesn't matter what has gone into any of the discussion about what you should or shouldn't do

none of that's important all that's important is that did Trump say it okay the opposite of that I want other thing that I thought was kind of interesting well a couple let's do a couple more Trump quotes I he did talk about the McDonald's diet and how he believes it might be a secret cure to a lot of problems that we face in life here we go I don't know what this is I feel the same as I did 50 years ago. It's crazy. Someday there'll be a day when that won't happen.

I'll let Bobby Anas know, you know? It's not quite the same. But I feel literally the same. I don't know why. It's not because I eat the best foods. Maybe they are the best foods. Who knows what the best foods are? Maybe junk food is good and the other food is no good.

I know people that eat the best food. They go to a restaurant. They have celery and I don't want it. And I'll have steak and everything. And I say, how you doing? Well, it's over for me at a young age. And all they do is watch it. I know many, many people that all they do is watch their weight, this, or that.

And they kick the bucket, and here we are, I feel great. It's uniquely kind of enjoyable to listen to President Trump talk about how he's doing great at his age, health-wise. And there are other people who don't wind up having the longevity of life. life that Trump has. He says it the way he does fairly nonchalant. I've told this to people before, and I don't know if it was a Trump quote last time or someone else, but you have conversations with people at different stages of their life, and people at a certain stage, a certain age, they get fairly used to losing friends and family members. It's something that happens often. I've talked to people that said basically none of their friends are still around. And so

when you're a younger person, I'm 40, I'm not exactly young or old. I don't know what you'd call me. Depending on your age, you probably call me both young and old, depending on how old you are. But nonetheless, at my age, there are not a lot of people who we are losing, a lot of friends and family that I'm losing. There are some, but it doesn't become, as matter of fact, to talk about death the way it does is you get older. And honestly, I've said this to younger people who get mad whenever there's a quote like this out there, especially if it's President Trump that has said some of these things. They're like, how dare he make a joke like that? It's just a different stage of life thing that a whole lot of people do. He is far from alone. And there are many people

I know, as I said a second ago, who talk about it the same way. And then there's people who get upset with that too. And I don't know. I just figured for the sake of it, especially since I saw people commenting on that audio clip and saying, how dare he joke so much about people who their health winds up being an issue at whatever age they are. This is just a byproduct of reaching your 70s, 80s, 90s. My grandmother lived into her mid-90s and would often say fairly what I thought were dark things to me, but they were a byproduct of her age. And the reality of the lack of other people in her group that make it as long as she does

and live as great of a life as she did. All right, another thing that I want to play. This is the last piece of Trump audio I'll play for right now. He is joking with the senator out of Alabama, Katie Britt, about her remaining loyal to him and blaming her for some of the issues that were facing. You know what got me into this, I have to tell you. I hope she always remains loyal to me so I can continue to support her.

You got it. You got it. That will never happen, Katie, right? That's right, sir. But to say just a few words, she's really fantastic woman. She's a great senator. And I got lucky. I was supporting somebody else.

And then I realized that somebody else wasn't very good. And I said, who's that young woman I met? It was so impressive. They say, her name is Katie Britt. I said, let me talk to her. I endorse you. She won a landslide. And you've been winning in landslides ever since.

This was all tied to the advancement in maternal health care. That was announced by President Trump. Again, something that you would think would be popular with the left. You think that they'd say, thank you so much, Mr. President, for the thing you did that we think is on our side and not your side. Whatever that might be, this is a win that does something valuable for, again, women's health, that you would just assume it would matter more to some. All right, let's play audio of AOC.

She is talking about the American Revolution now. She continues to rewrite history. AOC recently went viral for saying that black people created democracy. That is not a misquote. That is word for word, a thing she said. She then tried to explain it by saying that the civil rights movement somehow created the idea that democracy was something that black people achieved on their own. I don't know.

It's hard to even parse out all the logic. But it doesn't matter if you want to say the thing that I would agree with, that you would, you know, say way to go to the men and women, the people who fought for anything that they earned in our society, anything that was difficult for people to gain. Like, you can praise the civil rights movement without rewriting history to claim that black people created democracy. That's just begging for political support based on emotional and absolute crap things that you say out loud. Here's another one of those. The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time.

Hilariously stupid. We're declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and power and the state. Here's one of my favorite things that actually happen on social media. So if you go to X, you know that there are these community notes that are added. A community note right under this statement where AOC is claiming that the American Revolution was against money. It wasn't against a king specifically or control from afar of our country or the thing that became our country. It was actually just people who wanted to fight rich people and were mad that they existed. Here's the community note.

Robert Morris considered the richest man in America at the time, used his own personal wealth to finance much of the American Revolution. And here's the thing that Democrats always forget. You need somebody to cut the checks. You need someone to pay the bills. they want to soak the rich via any sort of tax program they can think of, and the rich are really good at not paying that money by and large by leaving, leaving the state they're in that's doing this, leaving the country,

if they wound up having to, which, God forbid, hopefully doesn't happen because places like Texas where I live do everything we can to keep people here in this country when places like New York and California are doing just atrociously awful stuff to push them out. But that's my favorite missed piece of information, that there was an American billionaire, or what would essentially be a billionaire, cutting checks to help fund the American Revolution when she claims they were fighting these people. Just imagine, and this is horrible to do, that AOC was around at that time to say that what we need to do is fight people who have a lot of money. And then you have Robert Moore standing in the corner being like, see, you don't want me to write this check then? You don't want me to sign and give you this money. And eventually she'd have to say, well, you're fine.

We like you. We just don't like anybody else. You're the only good one. All the other ones are terrible, which is a crazy thing out there for them to think. But there's so many versions of that issue, that problem, and that I want to apply my logic in certain circumstances and abandon it entirely in other circumstances, depending on how well it serves me and how well it involves,

evoking emotion from you that hopefully gets you to do whatever you want. That's the entire game, hook, line, and sinker, and it's terrible. All right, we'll take a break. A lot coming up. This is Greg Collins filling in on the Danish. We got that.

We got a whole bunch of stuff. As we move, the folks who help bring you the program, it's new, it is a new partner to the show, and it's Native Path. Now, I know all the college is like a very big, everybody's into college, and everybody's into, like, you know,

bunch of things that matter in the world in which we live. All right, let's get right to some of the other audio I have. I thought this was interesting. You literally are like talking Memphis, which is a city with black voters, and you split it in three. Stretching 3,000 miles is a quote in a debate that happened on CNN in which Scott Jennings was sitting across from a person that was complaining about some of the decisions, some of the things that are happening in Memphis and Tennessee that are hurting Democrats and their ability to get their politicians elected. Here's what's really interesting about couching this into a race-based question or a race-based discussion, which is what you'll hear in a second. Ashley Allison, one of the guests in this show is doing.

The likelihood that the person who gets elected is in fact black makes things odd. and the person who's currently representing the district is not a black, which also makes things odd, because if you're claiming that you want voters of a certain race to be capable of voting for someone who better reflects them from a diversity standpoint, you would think that asking these voters to elect someone who looks like them would appease Democrats. Of course, none of it matters, none of it should matter. It doesn't matter what someone looks like, what the color of their skin is, if they're a man or a woman, all that matters is their ideas, and if they reflect your beliefs. That's all we should talk about.

But Democrats can't do it that way because it doesn't emotionally benefit them. But here's this back and forth discussion. I just love the beginning sentence, though. That's why I said it before I played it, that she's talking about black voters. She's talking about how you're splitting it up and you're changing everything in a bad way. And Jennings just nukes the entire argument. On the campaign, you literally are taking Memphis, which is a city. that with black voters and you split it in three, stretching 3,000 miles.

Who's the current Democrat congressman? What, what, what, is it a black congressman? Just because black people are allowed to like people that don't look like them. Exactly. And that is the point I wanted you to make because just because you're not going to have a black congressman, why is it that a Republican can't do just as well representing black voters as a Democrat? Because they aren't electing. Why does your race determine your politics? It doesn't, it does it. No, just be, you're making my point actually. The assumption is black people, no, no, no, the assumption is black people will only elect black people. No, black people are smart enough to elect. No, let me finish. Black people only. Black people, let me finish. Black people who will actually represent them, who have their best interest in heart.

And what Republicans have done in Tennessee is dismantled the power for black people to have their voice. They did the same thing in Texas because they said they thought Latinos were going to swing for Republicans. There are black people that are represented. I'm black and I got a Republican president right now. Black people don't elect black people based on race. They elect people that are aligned with their moral, their beliefs and justice. And I just took that away from them in Tennessee and. I kind of love the cough, by the way.

I just disagree that the only person, the only kind of a politician who can elect black people in Congress, must be a Democrat. This is just an artificial. That's not what I'm saying. That's not what I'm saying. Black voters are still fully franchised and go vote for who are they want. That's not what I'm saying. a Democrat. Yeah, here's the thing I love about it. That last sentence there from Scott Jennings, black voters are fully franchised, meaning this isn't Jim Crow 2.0 when you're not allowed to vote

because of the color of your skin. That's not occurring. What you don't have is a whole lot of people collected together based on their race who vote and we call that a district, regardless of where they actually live in proximity to other individuals around them, essentially meaning that I can't carve out a district because of what people look like. Because that, that's racist because that's wrong. If I want to choose a neighborhood like Memphis or a community in Memphis or whatever it might be, certain sections of a populace, I need to choose those sections regardless of their race. This shouldn't be a controversial discussion.

It shouldn't be something that the left wants to scream and yell about and then choose when they make it racial, when they make it an emotional argument and when they don't. Because they don't love the fact, as I said at the beginning here, that what you inevitably get is exactly the thing that they claim that they're not getting, which is people who can nominate someone based on their identity, or excuse me, based on their ideas and not their identity. It's just, it's insane that we have to go through this and then be accused of being the racists. Like, that's the best part of the discussion is when at the end of, hey, why don't we allow people in certain communities to elect representation, regardless of what

anyone looks like on both sides of the equation for the voters and for the representatives and the opportunity for the other side to say, how dare you, the racism coming out of your mouth in the thing you said that was inherently not racist. It's just, it's dumbfounded, it's so dumbfounding to try to figure out the path of logic that gets us from point A to point B in just being mad that more Republicans might win more seats in the House. Let's play this audio. the alleged White House correspondent's dinner shooter, who I usually never name any of these guys, has pled not guilty.

His name is in the audio, and I am going to play it. They mention his name a couple times. I usually just don't like saying them because I never want anyone who does something like this to get any notoriety from it. I do believe to a certain extent, especially in the society we live in now, with the amount of people who just want to be famous on the Internet

for not horrible things, that some of these people want to be famous on the Internet, internet for horrible things. But let's go ahead and play on this alert. The suspect in the White House correspondent dinner shooting Cole Allen had his arraignment this morning. We understand he just entered his plea in federal court. We're going to send things out to David Spunt, who is joining us live outside of that courthouse. David, what's the latest? Yeah, David, what's the latest? Hey, guys, a not guilty plea entered by Cole Allen during this arraignment. Not surprising. We figured he would do so based on the paperwork that was filed in court over the past couple of weeks, but not

guilty plea to four charges, two gun charges, one attempting to assassinate the President of the United States, the most serious charge of them all. And then finally, assault on a federal officer when he shot, according to authority, shot that Secret Service agent in the chest. Thankfully, that Secret Service agent is okay. If convicted Cole Allen could spend the rest of his life behind bars, today is a preliminary hearing and an arraignment. Interestingly enough, and I'll leave you with this, I mentioned this about 20 minutes ago at the top of the topic. of the show that he wants U.S. Attorney Janine Piro and Todd Blanche off the case, arguing that since they are potential victims because they were inside the dinner, it's not proper for them to be

on the case. That last part is kind of amazing, if you think about it, this piece of crap individual who has a tremendous amount of proof out there that he did the thing he's accused of doing and had the desires that he's accused of having, meaning he wanted to kill Trump and anyone connected to him, anyone within his administration. And honestly, in his manifesto, the individual said he would take any life of anybody that got in his way. When you have all of that out there, the person can also say, you know what, I want some of these people to be off the case because I was trying to kill them. I'm innocent, not guilty, which is insane.

Of course, the amount of proof seems to demonstrate how quick this court case will actually go, how easy this trial will be for the prosecution. But nonetheless, I just thought that was amazing, that someone would go the avenue, go the road of, you know what, I'd rather not have these people in the room because they were some of the people I wanted to kill. And if we give in to those kind of things, I do not think these people should be removed from this court case, Janine Piro, et cetera, should not be, and Todd Blanche. But if we give in to those things, you essentially allow the murderer to dictate some of the terms in a horrific way, of what inevitably shouldn't matter. I will say that I don't think his likelihood to be proven guilty or innocent hinges on the involvement of a couple individuals.

I think obviously, most of our country knows that the amount of proof out there demonstrates the likelihood that we're going to see the case make the decisions that we all assume they're going to make. But it's just, it's amazing to me to have a discussion like this and to have certain avenues like this that would allow a person as dangerous and violent and horrible to potentially create some of the rules. It's just simply wrong. A CNN political analyst admits that Democrats have suffered another huge.

loss in Virginia. There's a big New York Times story out there claiming that it has inside sources that have come up with new ways for the Democrats to try to circumvent the decision to not gerrymander the crap out of Virginia to create even more Democratic seats in the House. And some of the things the New York Times is saying that are likely to happen or Democrats are considering doing are full on crazy, every part of utterly and ridiculously over the top. It's like a kid being told that you can't do something so they want to take their toys and go home, or actually even better than that, a better way to describe some of the stuff in the New York Times that Democrats are considering doing.

It actually is a dictatorship type of thinking. It's, I don't like the decision made by the judicial system. I don't like the decision that might be made by voters. I don't like any decision but mine. So let me come up with every way I potentially can to get what I want, regardless of what other people, maybe everyone else thinks is right. Let's play a little bit of the CNN audio, and then I'll give you some more of the information that appeared in the New York,

the failing New York Times. This is a big blow, Hakeem Jeffrey. I basically wrote a column that was like, this was great for Hakeem Jeffries because he was all in on it, $38 million. spent from a group affiliated with him. Obama was in on this. And now this is a big defeat.

And one of the reasons why Virginia was so important as well was there were, Democrats were anticipating this Supreme Court decision, which is also going to have massive effects. So they felt like they've got this sort of trench of four seats. And now, of course, that's gone. Again, they're still hopeful that they can maybe get one or two of these seats. but it has been a big, big waste of money. You know, they'll have to pay.

A big waste of money that they should have seen coming, that inevitably they would be told, and this is hilarious to me, and I think I said this the other day, and I'll say it again on this show, that the biggest thing that harmed the Democratic argument in courtrooms, where they were trying to get their gerrymandered districts

to actually stick for the 2026 midterm elections, the biggest thing that hurt them is the Democratic demand to not have the election, be one day and one day only. Because if people weren't voting early and weren't sending in mail in ballots and all of this stuff, you could make the argument that Democrats tried to make that one election process had ended and another one has yet to start. And because one has yet to start within the Virginia Constitution, you can change the districts. That's usually the rule. There's some other reasons that they failed in court that's not the only one, but it's one of

the ones that's most amusing to me because it screams out loud that we should have a one day voting i'm not uh saying this because i'd want democrats to have succeeded in virginia but i do think that by and large and something that'd be very much um welcome by a whole lot of conservatives is to do away with a vast majority of the elongation of our election process to have it be just one day to have military men and women be basically the only people who can vote um um in advance or vote you know, via mail-in ballot from afar to destroy a lot of the things that make our elections seem less secure than what they could be if they were run like a powerball or mega-millions. All right.

One last thing, and this is the part I'll pay off as far as the New York Times goes, and we'll probably talk about this later. Democrats contemplated changing the age limit for people in their Supreme Court to be 54 years old. It's currently 75. This is in the New York Times article. One of the ideas that was thrown around by Democrats that unnamed sources claimed was occurring. The amazing thing about that, not only that it's ridiculous that someone in their mid-50s couldn't capably serve and be a justice, a Supreme Court justice state or any level, but also that every current justice is 54 or older, meaning essentially they would wipe out the entirety of their Supreme Court at the Virginia state level. and then they would be able to rename whoever they wanted to all the seats.

That is one of several ideas being thrown around as a potential way to circumvent the current decision made by the current Supreme Court in Virginia. And they call us the dictators. They call us the people that want to see communist rule in our society, which is insane. Because of course we don't. Of course we don't want any of those things. And doing something like that, not getting what you want to change all the rules. their entirety is exactly the kind of thing that a king would do, not the stuff that Trump does that then gets rejected in other parts of our three power system that makes him incapable

even building a ballroom. A king would be able to build a ballroom. That's all I'm saying. Quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

This is the Dana show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you, a whole bunch of stuff out there to talk about. One of the things that I found pretty interesting that doesn't definitely deserves some level of confidence. conversation is how great Spencer Pratt is doing as a potential politician. He is making a lot of Democrats very mad because of the success of his campaign and the way in which he's going about transitioning from a Hollywood slash reality TV star to someone who might be politically relevant, something we've seen a few times before that has worked out and seems interesting.

Maybe that's the secret sauce. maybe you have to find people who are reality TV stars because they're used to a certain level of forced transparency granted with a lot of performance in there too I'm not pretending that all those reality TV shows are actually reality but there is some forced transparency that you might not want that might be good in the world of politics

this is my way of thinking CNN not so happy with the success of Spencer Pratt one of their panelists had a full-on psychotic break slash meltdown while talking about the common sense approach to running for political office. Here we go. His odds are going up. We'll see this is a really uphill battle for him, but I think Republicans should be taking copious notes because he's literally, you just got to embrace common sense

and be normal. And he is calling out the fact that leftists in L.A. seem to be fine with letting people, you know, shoot up in front of schools. They're fine with dogs getting injected with fentanyl. They're doing nothing. He's calling out some very obvious. things that the vast majority of Americans can agree on, and he's going viral because of it. People want common sense. Yes, the dear. Is this common sense, for real? Like, as an L.A. voter, as someone that will vote for mayor in Los Angeles, I'm telling

you, this is the opposite of common sense. This is so embarrassing. I am so exhausted of being surrounded by this level of idiocy. It is not, this guy is not practical. How is a man's plan was to live off his reality fame. When that dwindled, he wanted to be an influencer. When that dwindled, he tried to make his wife a singer. It didn't work, so now he's going to be mayor of L.A.

He says he's going to end corruption. How? He says he's going to have no more homeless. How? He says he's going to have renters' rights. How? I'm so sick of having politicians come in here with zero experience. Tell us they're going to fix everything.

Have we learned nothing? Let me just play. It's embarrassing. She's so angry. I wish you could see it, but it's radio, so for the most part you can't, but you can go look it up as well if you want to find the rant and the craziness yourself. That was fun. fun for a lot of reasons. The first one being, by and large, Democrats are usually the people

who offer you a whole bunch of stuff with no real way to do it. The most ridiculous version of things. You're seeing that in New York with Mumdani right now, and how great he said he was going to do, how much money he was going to make for you and take from other people, and how that's not exactly working out the way that he had hoped it would work out. He is not alone in doing that, though, and so it's kind of amazing to hear this woman say that she's so upset with the things that Pratt is promising and the inability to do them. The best way to fix corruption, I'm going to go ahead and tell you, because it's fairly simplistic, and it's something that I assume a whole bunch of people have already thought

about themselves, but I'll throw it out there in case you haven't. The best way to fix corruption is to out it, to tell us what's going on so you can't keep doing it. I get rid of all the waste, fraud, and abuse by being transparent. That's why I said a second ago, transparency is really at the heart of success there. We're such a connected culture, we're such a connected society, that there's not a lot of things you need to do other than tell the American people, hey, look at all this money people are stealing.

I mean, look at Minneapolis and Minnesota right now. The amount of people who don't live there who care about the abuse, the fraud, the, you know, claiming that you're doing a child care thing that you're not actually doing and the ability for a Nick Shirley to show up and knock on some doors through the roof. We talked about it here in Texas at KSCV radio where I work and do an evening slash afternoon drive, depending on what time of day you're getting in your car, drive home show. And it's interesting because the way that we became so focused on something that really doesn't impact us for me living in Texas, but a lot of people living a lot of places is that they told us about it.

They outed it. And it seemed true and it seemed to be real. And then the more you learned, the deeper and the more horrible, that thing got. But so as far as answering that first point, how do you get rid of the amount of corruption, the amount of fraud that exists in our society within government, you just tell us about it. You give us more and more information, and we'll be able to suss a lot of it out on our own. And then the other thing she yells about, how to fix the homeless problem or any other problem in L.A. Don't create a whole bunch of programs that make people want to be there in a homeless

capacity don't don't beg people to come into our country illegally or to live here without any ability to do it et cetera et cetera don't don't incentivize um individuals in our in our country to do the things that you then want to complain about and don't like that's the biggest problem for the democratic side of the aisle and even the way in which they attack the rich i guess is it all it all leads back to the same place is if you offer certain benefits and programs you call yourself a sanctuary city etc, et cetera, et cetera. You wind up dealing with some of the challenges that they face as a byproduct of your policies. Just get rid of the policies. And then guess what? You don't have as much of a problem. That seems to be good. I want to play this audio. This is pretty interesting. In 2021, Joe Biden praised record high gas prices as part of an incredible transition to green energy.

This was a thing that was getting forced down everybody's throat that Biden wanted to fight oil and gas. companies and told us this would be better for the future for our society. Since we're in the same place where gas prices are uniquely higher than any of us want them to be, you have to ask yourself the simple question, am I happier that the fight we're fighting this time is funding terrorism or potentially holding the world hostage via the creation of a nuclear weapon by a power that can never actually have a nuclear weapon? or would you have been happier a few years ago when that fight was to get rid of your gas-powered car?

There's an obvious answer here, but I think is just playing the what-aboutism or the hypocrisy demonstrated. This is a pretty easy way to do it. A lot of Democrats were also praising the fight against oil and gas companies, even if it caused some pain at the pump, as they would say it.

But here's Biden, at least in this moment, being cognizant enough to say how great gas prices are when they're high. And when it comes to the gas prices, we're going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it's over, will be stronger and the world will be stronger and less relying on fossil fuels when this is over. You see what Europe is doing relative to the importation of Russian gas. You see what anyway, I won't go through at all. And what I've been able to do to keep it from getting even worse, and it's bad. The price of gas The pump is something that I told you heard me say before

would be a matter of great discussion on my kitchen table when I was a kid growing up. It's affecting a lot of families. I hate, by the way, when he always mentioned that. I'm sorry for anyone that I gave a horrible flashback of how bad things were when Biden was in office when he always talked about the kitchen table. His parents must have included him in all kinds of conversations

that they were having while sitting down like they were way too transparent about their financial health with their small child when Biden was growing up, that I don't think it all makes any sense. There is even remotely close to true. But I digress. I just think that if we had to pick which of the things causes the pain that we're facing it, and honestly, and this is a better way to say it too,

if they hadn't done that a few years ago, this would probably be more tolerable now, meaning we wouldn't have gone through other versions of having to stretch our budgets to succeed and to remain putting food on the table and successful and all the things we need to not be out on the street ourselves. If we didn't have to go through this pain a few years ago, only to do it again now. I think one of the reasons that people are so upset about it is because of the fact that we've seen this movie once before, just for a very, very different reason.

All right, let's play this audio. This is Roe Kana on Fox News, having a bit of a whoopsie, a bit of an issue, when he's talking about Jim Crow and lack of representation and lack of, of diversity and he seemed to forget a thing that definitely seemed to matter. Here we go. So on this redistricting, Politico writes this. Republicans have just won the redistricting war and boosted their slim hopes for holding the House.

It's leaving Democrats despite all the political wins in their favor, fearful that the House is back in play. What is your take on this? Do you feel at all that Democrats might have just wasted $65 million on a losing effort? We're still going to win the House. The reason we're going to win the house is gas prices are up, food prices are up. People don't like the fact that we're in a war in Iran. They don't like the fact that the Trump administration hasn't released the Epstein files or held the Epstein class accountable.

But I was very disappointed in the Virginia Supreme Court overturning an election. And then you have the Supreme Court basically taking away black districts in the deep south that Dr. King and John Lewis fought for. So this isn't about winning the House. We're going to win back the House anyway. This is about reversing some of the progress we made in the civil rights movement. Yeah, it's all about rights and all about race and all about certain issues. And then I love somebody on social media that said Tim Scott is laughing all the way to the bank on this topic, since he's a black man who happens to represent people that voted to have him represent them,

even though that doesn't make any sense to Democrats, because it has to be black districts that only vote for Democratic politicians, regardless of their race. Like it's not about diversity. And he's stumbling all over that, as you can obviously tell, because of how little they care about that part. They don't want to help. You know what, I've said this a bunch of times. I should take a second and say it correctly because it matters. Because we've seen this movie as well again and again and again.

They don't want the thing they tell you they want. They want something that immediately and totally serves them, and they just find a way to explain it to their useful idiot voting. that gets them what they inevitably want. They don't care about representation. They would take a fully white House of Representatives if everyone was a Democrat. Like that would be great to them as they were telling you that they needed representation to be more diverse or to be whatever. It doesn't matter.

All they want is power. And when people learn this, we're seeing a lot of data that says that there are still a lot of black Americans that support Trump and support Republicans. more so than we've seen before. There's a lot of data points that are saying some of the minority groups that Trump did better with in 2024 than Republicans traditionally do well with are still supporting Republicans,

even as doom and gloom and people claim that you're going to see this giant blue wave happen across our country, similar to what they said about the red wave a few years ago that didn't happen to the degree that you hoped, because everything always seems to be more tempered than what the warnings always are, meaning we always have less change. Even though we have significant change often in politics after a presidential election,

it's always less than whatever anybody is saying is likely to happen, or at least by and large it is. But nonetheless, what I think is really interesting about this is that they can't have their cake and eat it too in the Democratic Party saying what we really want is fairness when it comes to race, but we don't necessarily want people that look different than us if those people represent the people. the wrong side of the aisle, meaning they'd love to see Tim Scott lose his job, even if that means one less black guy has a role in the Senate, because it's not about the things they claim it's about. All right, I've repeated enough times. I think we're good on that. I've belabored that point. A quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. Laundry should not smell like a hospital bathroom. I mean, seriously, enough with the chemical

cleaner scent. Enter laundry sauce. The premium laundry pods that don't just clean your clothes. They make them smell incredible, and it actually lasts for days, I dare I say weeks. Summer is the perfect time for the Italian burgomat scent. It's fresh, it's clean, it's a little citrusy. It's like you should be sipping an apparel spritz on the Italian coasts, not doing laundry in your house. I use it. And it's easy. No measuring.

No mess. No overthinking. You just throw a pot in and you're done. But here's what really, like, sold me and why I really like this company, because it's not just about smelling good. Laundry sauce is engineered for performance. It takes on mud, food, real-life messes. and it actually cleans your clothes.

And it even revives your fabric. So your favorite pieces look and feel like you just bought them. They're just brand new again. I'm not the only one. Over 90% of the people who get laundry sauce say they notice the difference after switching. So for a limited time, all of my listeners get 20% off your entire order

when you use codena at laundry sauce.com slash Dana. That's 20% off at laundry sauce. com slash Dana with promo codeana. Upgrade your laundry game. Seriously. You might actually start looking forward to Laundry Day. This is the day and a show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in.

Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. Let's play some audio of President Trump from earlier today, answering a ton of questions from the press. I know this isn't the question itself. This isn't actually the discussion because President Trump does this so often. He is by far the most accessible person we've ever seen in the role of president of the United States. But if you ever were to wonder if his brain,

brain isn't still functioning how it's supposed to function. I don't care if you like or dislike the things he says. If you were to contest or contend that he has got the broken brain stuff that Biden had, the availability he has to media often destroys the idea of that narrative. And when you hide someone the way they hide, they hid Biden during his time in office, you know the exact opposite is true. But here is President Trump answering a question about the ceasefire with Iran. He inevitably rejected the deal with Iran.

We have that audio, too. Here we go. The kind of being to ceasefire remains in place. It's unbelievably weak. I would say I would call it the weakest right now. You have to reading that piece of garbage they sent us. I didn't even finish reading it. They said, I'm going to waste my time reading it.

I would say it's one of the weakest right now. It's our life support. They understand. These are all medical people. Dr. Oz, life support is not a great. good thing. You agree? I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support where the doctor walks in and says, sir, your left one has approximately a 1% chance of living. Yeah, because they keep attacking us and keep not caring about the fact that they agreed to a ceasefire,

similar to everything else they do, where they say out loud that they're going to go ahead and give us all their enriched uranium, and then in the document that they want us to sign to end the conflict with them. They're like, we're not going to go ahead. going to give you any of the enriched uranium. Why did you think we're going to give you that? They troll you the way that your girlfriend or, in my case, wife might occasionally, when they're mad at you. They say something out loud that you know you will understand one way, and then a few minutes later pretend that you got it wrong, and it's all your fault, and this is really because they're mad about something else. This is what I've found after years of being married, that I have

to apologize for the right thing, or my brain will time from time be exploded by some of the crazy stuff that's getting talked about. If I do it the right way, I'm fine. If I say the wrong thing, then who knows where we're going. President Trump actually talked about the rejection of Iran's latest proposal, and as I said, mostly because it didn't match any of the stuff they were saying, which is usually bad. To negotiate one way and then write something totally different usually means you're not getting the thing you want. Although I wish this worked, the next time I did something like buy a house, I'd love to negotiate the price out loud as one thing, and then right in the agreement that I expect the homeowner to sign that it's actually worth way less, and I'm giving

you way less, and just hope for the best there. That's essentially what they're doing. As you mentioned, you were ready to meet with the generals on Iran, you rejected a deal for all the weekend. Can you tell us anything about that proposal and what, if any, I would have appreciate to break the stake? It was just unacceptable. You know, a lot of people said, well, Does you have a plan? Of course, they do have the best plan ever. Iran has been defeated militarily, totally. They have a little left.

They probably built up during this period of time. We'll knock that out in about a day. But I have a plan. It is a very simple plan. I don't know why you don't say it like it is. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They're very dangerous. They're very volatile.

It's a terrible thing that's happened over there. They've killed 42,000 people. in the last two months, 42,000, at least that's what we know of, 42,000 people. They killed numerous people over the last week, but they killed 42,000 people a month ago, a month and a half ago.

They were unarmed protesters. Here's the thing, and I've said it before, I'll say it again, just quickly. Typically, this is the type of discussion that matters a whole lot to Democrats. The same people who stood in the street and protested that a terrorist group, Hamas, had the right to do terrorist things

because they felt bad for the people of Palestine who were caught between a group of people fighting to have their country stopped getting killed by terrorists and terrorists who didn't care at all about the Palestinians anymore than anyone else seemed to. Outside of, again, the college students here in our country or a lot of the far-left liberal people. This is one of those arguments that should work for them,

unfortunately it seems to not matter because president trump is in the office it's not the reason the main reason i support the conflict by the way will say that i'm not trying to to be a hypocrite myself uh... the reason that i think it's good that we're fighting iran is because i see that uh... country is a place that at some point i will gain a nuclear weapon if we don't do things like this to stop them does it happen in the next five years i have no idea

ten fifteen whatever it might be iran is demonstrating through their use of trying to bottleneck the Strait of Hormuz to hurt the world, that they would do the exact same thing if they gained a nuclear weapon. This meeting between the United States and China, one of the discussion points is likely to be Iran. It's very much likely to be Iran. A lot of people also don't seem to understand that the United States is gaining leverage over China,

over Russia, over all these bad actors, for some of the things that we're doing to disrefer, the oil trade that hurts our sanctions. Our ability to control people through economic harm is nullified by the ability for some of those groups, China and Russia, among them, along with Iran, Venezuela and others, to trade without us in a way that makes them not care so much about the sanctions we place on them. This is how Russia circumvented that kind of stuff before, and we're now involved in trying to upend that system. I'm sure it will come up because China is not happy at all with what's going on, and this is hurting China.

And the thing that President Trump will likely be to say in response to this is, well, then get Iran to behave, because it's not us that you need to ask for things from. It's them. One last thing I just want to play this, President Trump was honest, saying it's not a whole lot of money, but federal gas taxes are going to be suspended to try to make prices a little bit better. gas prices did skyrocket according to some after President Trump announced that he had rejected the latest peace deal with Iran

because it's not at all connected to the discussions they have before the deal is written on the paper but here we go until it's appropriate yeah it's a you know it's a small percentage but it's it's so money

it's money it's something and he said he will suspend it for as long as appropriate to help the American people afford the higher price of gas taxes. All right, there's something else I want to play. I don't know why when sitting in for Dana more and more often I've been playing audio of Bill Maher, but he is a far-lefty guy in some ways who's willing to actually say common-sense things in other ways.

I'm not telling you that you should agree with a lot of his actual politics, but I do like his willingness to say some things out loud that the left refuses to say, and he sat down with John Federman, Senator Federman, who also does this. with a D still in front of his name as far as the political party that he is elected under. He doesn't always feel like a Democrat compared to the right. He doesn't feel like a conservative or a Republican or America First or any of that stuff. I also disagree with Fetterman on a lot of things, but I just find this interesting. So I want to play a little bit of this audio at the beginning,

their discussion about how comfortable people are with describing themselves as communists in politics in the United States in 2020. Well, I mean, just the word communism or being called a communist, not that long ago was a dirty word, as it should be. We did try it. Communism, all over the world. It's a nightmare. But it's not a dirty word anymore on the left. You know, you know, Platner in Maine absolutely identified himself as a communist. Right. And so does Mondami's main lieutenant that's See a Weaver in New York. Yes, and a bunch of other people that are politicians or politically connected. Identify themselves as Democratic Socialists or communist or some other form of a thing.

And yeah, this used to be a dirty word because, as Marr says and as many people have said, it's also a horribly failed a system to try to govern a country, a place, anything, any amount of people, if you fall under the rule of communism, it will be bad for you. And young Americans do not seem to appreciate, understand, or believe that. They seem more and more likely to say that, you know what, we have this. And here's the crazy part. This is the really easy way to talk about this topic to someone that's so on the wrong side of it. Do you think that our current government is heavily corrupt?

Most people on both sides of the aisle will say yes to that. Do you think that this current government does very little to benefit you and a whole lot to benefit itself, no matter who the people are who are in charge? A majority of Americans will say yes to that question. Do you think that giving these people more power, more capability, putting the ability to control the financial futures of all Americans in the hands of even fewer individuals would make things better? and that's the part where a lot of young Americans, for some reason, stupidity feels like it's among them, or just lack of actually doing any research on this topic, they say yes to that.

There's a lot of people that go, no, yeah, that would be better. Of course, if we put the power in the fewest amount of people's hands as possible and tell them that they need to make things fair for everybody and they need to take money from other people and they could put it in their pocket, but we hope they're not going to do that, that they'll all do the right thing and not the wrong thing. time and again, we've seen this play out to the absolute worst case scenario for the vast majority of people who live under communist rule. Just do the homework is all I'm saying, don't let chat GPT do it for you.

Or if you want, actually you could ask chat GPT about this, and I think it'll probably give. I've never done this before. In honest answer, I have no idea. But communism, bad, doesn't work. Not a good thing. More and more people willing to describe themselves that way because of ignorance. is the nicer way to say it. All right, quick break, a lot more.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling it. It is our friends over at Noble Gold. Noble Gold, this is, you know, what everybody always goes into. They always go into precious metals whenever times get weird, whenever the economy is a little volatile, whenever you've got stuff happening, like what you see, for instance, over in the Middle East.

It's time for a quick five on the Dana Show, D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X on Twitter. to stay connected to her. I saw in the New York Post a story about how single women are deciding to become moms without men.

Now, granted, they need some doctors and some donations of a certain kind. But other than that, they don't need an actual guy in their life. More and more women are turning to this. Some of the procedures have initial startup costs of $1,000. And then, of course, quite a bit more if they're successful, There's a really interesting component to this discussion for me, and it just seems to be the lack of ability for people to be together in earnest ways in our current society.

I don't think you can devalue the role of father or a man would play in the life of a child to the amount that people seem to be doing this to be like, you know what, I haven't found anybody that works for me, so I'm just making a baby on my own. I'm not saying that you can't do it. Of course, a bunch of people are, and it in fact is a free country. But it just feels like it's a side effect of a discussion that often happens in our country, in our society, in, you know, the Internet's versions of the world that really devalues the role of an actual committed couple and actually, honestly, devalues men in general in a lot of ways.

But this is a story I saw that seems bad. Other things out there, what are some of the best fads of the 90s? This is something that appeared on Pro Bible, and I enjoyed it a lot. Some of the items that appeared, whether it's new songs like the macarena, which for better or worse, were probably one of the marquee dance things that emerged from the 90s, but also other stuff. The Super Soaker is an item of the 90s. Nintendo Game Boy starter jackets. We found my starter jacket, my Chicago Bulls, starter jacket that I had as a kid. And my wife fits in it, and she thought about wearing it more.

and it's the weirdest thing in the world for me to see as a 40-year-old man now. The miss is throwing on the starter jacket that I thought was cool when I was 10, but it is a thing that you could also do. Those were awesome. I don't know why they went away. Also, slap bracelets and beanie babies made this list of 90s fads that were, quote, the best, but don't exist anymore. Anxiety might actually help you live longer,

according to at least one study. I should mention there's a tremendous, amount of studies that say that anxiety definitely kills you faster, causes all kinds of problems. So whether they find some way to say that it might be good, I don't know that it nullifies all the ways that it might be bad. But emotional reactivity and internal stability, which is the metric they used, which looks at things like stress, mood swings, poor mental health, et cetera. when factoring in the likelihood of stress, the likelihood of response to some of the things going on in your life, they found that there might be some health benefits to it. But again, I think that the benefits probably are outweighed by the myriad of problems they've seen,

or the stress that goes to your heart when you do this. One of the things I thought was most interesting pointed out here is they said people who are high stress about their health might actually eat healthier. and that would prevent them to be healthier or that would cause them to be healthier if they ate healthier. I think you could separate those things out, baby, and you could just say anybody who eats healthy is in fact healthier than people that don't. Quick break, a lot more.

Craig Collins filling in on the Dana show. All right, folks, so I want to tell you about something that actually works. This is the world's number one expanding garden hose and their newest upgrade. It's the pocket hose ballistic. I like anything that has the word ballistic after it. I don't have time for change. cheap, stupid equipment that fails after one season. I am done fighting with it. I'm done with the kinks.

Eric Swalwell. I'm done with the tangles. I'm done with the leaks. I'm done with all of it. It's a waste of money. It's enraging. So that's why the pocket hose ballistic, that's why you need to have this thing because it's built different. I could beat somebody to death with us. It's made, it's reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer. Now, you don't know what that is, but you do know what it's been used in before. Bulletproof vests. So that means, my friends, the strength is real. Real durability. No nonsense. It's not going to mess up your garden. It's not going to like tie a knot around you. If you're tied to replacing your cheap hose every year, this is your fix. The ballistic is lightweight. It's super easy to handle. And I like what comes with it. It comes with the pocket

pivot. So no more fighting the spigot. And ladies, it's gold. Where it moves, you move, you move, it moves. It's so simple. It's smart. You're done for a limited time. when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you're going to get that free. You see it right here. 360-degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb-drive nozzle. Just text Dana to 6430s.

That's Dana to 64-0-0-0 for your two free gifts with purchase. Message and data rates may apply. This is the Dana show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A lot of stuff out there to talk about real quickly. I know this is not going to be. on the radar for a lot of people.

But Brooks Kepka has made his return to the PGA tour after playing with Live Golf for many years. Live Golf is an organization that hands a bunch of money to professional golfers to make their game worse. That's something Kepka said is there was a lack of deals with equipment vendors and organizations that would help him have the best. I know that it feels like not a lot changes in the world of golf clubs, but apparently it does.

So the best in the world of equipment, competition. and also just work-life balance, as he described it, having to play on a tour that's run in Saudi Arabia as opposed to a tour that's run in the United States. Apparently impacts you a lot. But Brooks has been in the news. People have talked about this, the $100 million that live golf paid him, and how after three years he just hated the experience of playing with them,

and he's enjoyed so much more being back with the PJ tour. Why I find this interesting on a macro level beyond the world of just golf, specifically is there are people who talk about organizations like the people in Saudi Arabia financially backed groups from money like that that could take over all of the professional sports that could pay our athletes more money to play their version of this in the world of basketball, baseball. You name the sport. People have talked about a live golf comparison. This feels to be the lesson learned and how that is in fact terrible. How playing for the Saudi princes of the world for the giant sums of money that they give you

might not actually benefit you as much as the organizations that are created here in the United States. Now, granted, there's a push-pull, I think, in that, as some people talk about how woke, how woke, excuse me, our sports have become here, how annoyingly so, the people who grow them. So I do think that the threat of organizations

pulling our athletes elsewhere is nice, although it seems, by and large, that many of these athletes actually do agree with some of the political things that the leagues that they're in say. But nonetheless, I like the threat of something to cause people to be more honest. I don't like the reality of something. Another thing out there that I saw that I thought was interesting, Spirit Airlines customers can redeem unused loyalty points for a surprising edible freebie.

That is a big story out of the New York Post, whether it's pizza from Papa John's, other things that people might assume this was. you can still use your Spirit Airlines points with some organizations to get some things. You can't get a flight in a plane anywhere as that has gone under. Here's the thing I pitched to a buddy of mine, and I'll just throw out to you as we get to the end of the show,

a way that you could have saved Spirit Airlines. This is my concept, not anybody else's, and you're going to immediately be able to point out some flaws in it. What if they just drove half the way? You only fly part of the way. You're leaving in Chicago, and you're getting to, and it would be funnier if it's in the plane and not a bus version, but maybe that could have helped save Spirit Airlines.

It's like, yeah, yeah, you're flying out of Chicago into New York. Half of that's in the air. We're going to drive to Dallas, and then Dallas to New York. That part will be great. Maybe that could have saved them. They could have saved some money on the jet fuel prices. I know, I know, but just think about how great it would have been if it ever happened. Talk to you guys later.
