This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you a bunch of stuff to talk about. Yes, a huge decision will be made somewhat soon by the Supreme Court and not exactly the next few days. But if we learned anything from just yesterday, it's that the Supreme Court seems to believe the argument that President Trump does not have the amount of control over tariffs that he has successfully used to create all these great deals. When you look at rare minerals, rare earth minerals, something that China, has a unique sort of monopoly on, and they get to, you know, force their will and all parts of the rest of the world, even force a lot of agenda things onto the United States. Part of the reason that they can do that is a belief that if they pulled their rare earth minerals away from us, they're things that help with a lot of the technology, the batteries that we need to power

our technology, that we would struggle a bit. And so Trump, through tariffs, caused a bunch of deals to occur with other countries, mostly because of the threat of trade getting worse, not better if we didn't get access to that type of stuff from places that are not, in fact, China. That is one of several things that have gone very well recently because of tariffs and how Trump has used them. Also, just creating products in the United States is a uniquely good thing for you, for me, for our society, for the potential for us to have jobs as AI starts to slowly whittle away at that. Yes, I know that factory jobs would be hit by AI as much as anything else, but the more products we make here,

the more people you have to staff here compared to somewhere else in the world, even if those numbers aren't what you'd want them to be. You just want to be creating opportunities for jobs here in the country. That's another thing the tariffs were doing. I thought it was interesting that Howard Ludnik and many others were saying how well the economy was going

and that build in America was something that was incredibly successful, even if people that are now attacking it and trying to remove tariffs, as a part of how Trump gets this done is, is, you know, the agenda of the left right now. But here, this is part of that audio of saying that, hey, things in the economy are going pretty well. And it's because we're trying to create more jobs here at home and make more things in the United States. I mean, which ways the stock market going? Up, up, up, which is the economy going? Three point eight last quarter, estimates of 4.4% this quarter.

I mean, the economy is on fire because of Donald Trump's economy is one that says tariffs. on build in America. You know, the president's been saying north of $15 trillion coming to build in America, that's going to grow our economy more than four. It could grow our economy more than 5%. I mean, these are numbers no one's ever thought are possible for America. And it's driven by Donald Trump's trade and tariff agenda. Yes, build here first is a good thing. And there's no other way to force companies or force anyone to do it than to make it incredibly impossible or incredibly unlikely for you to prefer a product made somewhere else to a product made here, mostly because of the cost of it. Now, yes, I know a lot of people say,

and they were making this argument to the Supreme Court, the tariffs are really just a tax on the American people. There is a way that you avoid that tax, though. Don't buy stuff. I'm sorry. I don't even say that as ridiculously as it was just said. No, I did. Buy things made here. maybe don't buy things that are overly expensive, eventually the companies would relent and lower the prices. Because if they're not selling stuff at all, they can't keep selling it at ridiculously sky high prices to no one. And that's the part of the consumer actually has the power that they don't like to talk about. The Democrats don't like to talk about when they say that tariffs are just a tax on the American people. Only if we keep buying things at prices we think are bad.

Speaker Johnson also talked about the disparity in trade deficits that have been going to. going on for decades in this country and other places in the world and how tariffs have been a solution to that problem, one that the Supreme Court might actually take away in the near future, again, based on some of the preliminary hearings and discussions just the other day. I'm cheering for the president that the executive will win on this. Now, I say that as a jealous guardian of the legislative branch of government, Article I. There's a reason we're listed first in the Constitution. This is supposed to be the place of greatest importance. We're the ones that are supposed to make the law and the policy, but we do give the executive traditionally a lot of,

a lot of leeway, a lot of discretion over international trade. And we had a serious problem in this country for decades, as you all know, and you've discussed many times, we had a big trade disparity. The president stepped in. I think he's used that authority appropriately. He's obviously created a lot of leverage for our trade strategy internationally, and it's yielded great results. And so I'm watching that carefully because I'm the guardian of the Article I branch of government. But I think he's well within the lines, and I hope that a majority of the justice has agreed because here's something I'll say. Washington doesn't often as unapologetically as they will on this issue show you how little they care about you. They definitely show you. They show you all

the time. But not this unapologetically is how I want to describe it, because the tariffs have been used to benefit us. There's something that is going well. It is not the thing that is causing prices to skyrocket because prices aren't skyrocketing. The way that Democrats, told you they would. And they're upset about that too, by the way. They're upset that the more traditional way to prevent Trump's agenda from succeeding fail, which is just lying to you and telling you that it's not going well when it is. And so now they have to actually go ahead and try to circumvent that authority in order to take away this power, which still hurts us. And honestly, anyone out there who is on the side of tariffs are going to cause terrible things

to happen in the economy, they have to admit that it hasn't occurred yet. Most of those people on television are like, you know what, it could still happen. But by and large, it hasn't actually been a thing that's harmed us the way that we thought it would. And we, you know, refuse to actually give credit where credit is due. This is just such an odd approach because it's not odd, actually. I should take that back. It's exactly what Washington always does. But it's just so out there and open for all to see if you want to pay attention. And I feel like the American people do pay attention now more than ever. I say that while I also understand that Zohan Mundani, I just got elected to be the mayor in New York, which seems that a lot of people are definitely not paying attention

or don't know their history of why socialism and communism and Marxism is bad, why it doesn't end well. And actually, I've said this before, I'll say it again. If you're talking to a young person, and I'm a millennial, I actually just recently turned 40, so I guess I'm an old millennial now. I was probably always an old millennial. I can accept that. But I know people in my life, and I used to live in Chicago. I'm from New York, New Jersey area. So I have a lot of people on my social media page. I'm not even sure that I should call them friends,

but acquaintances, people I knew when I was younger, that definitely have pretty hardcore socialist kind of views in our society now. And all you have to tell that person to do, the most simplistic example of, hey, let's do a little bit of research, is Google, if communism has ever worked. And Google will even tell you it hasn't,

that it's always failed, that bad things always inevitably occur when people promise that the government will handle everything and they'll give you a fair share of stuff that they won't let other people get based on merit, based on actually working hard to get it. They'll just split it all up and they promise they won't take way too much for themselves. It always ends horribly. But anyway, Speaker Johnson talked a little bit about this and about the Marxist anti-Israel approach that Zorhan Mamdani has to a whole lot of things and how if more Democrats think this is a winning

message in the United States. It's terrifying. But honestly, a part of it, a part of this message resonates with people that aren't born here, people that aren't from the United States, people that want to see what happens in, say, you know, Muslim-run countries where they're killing Christians to be things that we see here. Those things are scary. We don't want to see that happen in this country. And yet, darn it, people from those other places, I would like to upend American society even more. And so those are individuals who show up and vote, even if I assume a whole lot of lot of them are not legally voting. And I don't know how many are legally and how many illegally voting in these elections. But darn it, I'm imagining that there's a whole lot of illegal

voting in a place like New York and places like it, you know, deeply democratic places. And they just pretend it's all fine. It's all legal. How dare you ask these questions? But here's what the Speaker of the House said. Zoran Mondami is without a doubt the biggest win for socialism in the history of the country. And it is the biggest loss for the American people. He is truly a committed Marxist. And the results of that race tell you everything you need to know about where the Democrats in their party are headed. From the backbench to their leadership, Democrats have fallen in line behind the socialist candidates. Hakeem Jeffries, as you know, is the highest-ranking Democrat in the House.

He gave his full blessing to Mondami and his socialist agenda. Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Democrat in the Senate and the highest-ranking Jewish leader in America flirted with, endorsing Mandami all the way to the bitter end. Never mind the fact that Zoran has embraced anti-Semitic rhetoric and promised to arrest the prime minister of Israel if he visits New York City again. It is sad that you hear people in background even laughing at that because that is absolutely something that's Orhan said and it's something that's ridiculous and insane, but it's yet another demonstration of how you're trying to erode something that is a pretty traditional American stance, Israel is a friend of ours, into something that's very different.

London mayor also praised the decision in New York, Mayor Kahn, who by the way is a socialist himself, a Marxist himself, and someone who's been in power since 2016, not exactly praise you want when London is locking people up for their social media posts, which is one of the hallmarks of the, you know, communist version of, hey, the government is always right and how dare you say anything bad about it, a version of a thing. But you hear this person saying, hey, Doron and I are so similar. London and New York. are so similar and I'd love to see things like what we're doing here happen over there. And of course, most Americans would disagree with this, even if New York City seems to be all

for it. But here we go. Well, there are many parallels that New York and London have, and there are many parallels that Sohoran and I have one. And congratulate the city of New York. They've chosen in a basically contested election, hope over fair unity, over division. And I'm already experiencing the ripples of hope. and happiness coming from his victory. I doubt he's already experiencing the ripples of hope and happiness coming from the victory

because that it doesn't actually last. You don't actually gain the things that the government tells you they're going to gain. That's a lesson that sadly a lot of young voters are going to have to learn, is that promises made by the government are not promises kept ever. And usually the person, as Reagan or anyone else said, that you least want showing up at your door in a time of crisis, is someone from the government saying they're there to help. because it's the last thing they're actually going to do. But there are a lot of people who live in New York City that feel like life is unfair. I will be honest about that. I'm, as I said, a little bit ago, a 40-year-old millennial. And I know that a lot of people in my generation or Gen Z don't find the jobs that they thought they would get when they went to college. They wind up with debt. They wind up with things that make life harder. You know, houses are more difficult to purchase in today's society than they were years ago. All these reasons that you say to yourself,

you know, society has failed me. The people in charge have failed me. And so the last thing you want to do is double down on giving more authority to the powers that be that have not done good things for you. New York City has been run by Democrats for quite some time. And it has not gone well. And so the worst thing you do is vote in a more radical version of a Democrat or a socialist or a Marxist and then hope for better things. It's insanity. It's begging for, you know, a different result. well, doing something that's eerily similar, if not even crazier than the version of what you were doing before, the definition of insanity. Of course, as told to us by Einstein and others, you don't repeat the same mistakes over and over again, and you don't make them deeply worse. By the way, there is another big story out there, Nancy Pelosi.

She's going away. She's finally going to retire. She has had a bunch of mental gaffs recently that made you think maybe she's not mentally capable of being in the position of power that she was in. But Fox News reached out to the President of the United States, and Peter Ducey got to report on exactly how Trump reacted to Nancy retiring. And this is pretty awesome audio. So I will play this quickly. Yes, and I just chatted with President Trump about this breaking news that Nancy Pelosi will be leaving Washington. He tells me the following, and this is a quote, the retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America.

She was evil, corrupt, and only focused on bad things for our country. She was rapidly losing control of her party and it was never coming back. I'm very honored. She impeached me twice and failed miserably twice. Nancy Pelosi is a highly overrated politician. And so tell us what you really think, President Trump. I mean, that's fantastic and absolutely true. And I love the fact that he says that he's proud of her impeaching him twice and then failing beyond that because it is just political weaponizing craziness, absurdity, evil, corrupt, all those other words.

And finally, it's going away, at least in the case of Pelosi, not in the case of the Democratic Party. She's actually being pushed out by people that are more radical than she is. But good luck with whatever's coming next from there. All right. Well, take a break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins is filling in on The Dana Show.

This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about. Starbucks has a brand new barista cup that's out there. I said that correctly. It is a bear that you put cold liquid into. It's glass. It's got a little like top hat on it. It's just in time for the holidays.

And it's selling out everywhere. Apparently people are very excited about the barista cup, mostly on the internet, I think on TikTok. I think it's a status thing. I think someone who has one today will feel like they have some sort of status symbol that a month from now they can easily acquire, but it won't be worth it anymore. Who cares? By the way, these cups are about 30 bucks in the store, a little more with taxes, but they're going for hundreds of dollars online. And I feel bad for the people that are actually purchasing these things. Hey, they can do whatever they want with their money, but the amount of value you're putting in something this dumb is just completely ridiculous to me. My favorite part of this story, though, is that there are now

other companies trying to go viral with their glass bear wear. I'm not even sure that that's the right thing to say, but darn it it is. You can go to the dollar store and pick up a glass bear-shaped thing and a lot of other places to get your knockoff version of the Starbucks Cup, and you only have to pay a couple bucks for those. I do love that, that apparently this is all over the place, plastic, glass, however you want it done.

People have made things that you can drink out of that look like a bear before. This is not brand new. It is, I hate admitting this part. It is a cute thing. Like when it looks like it's filled with coffee and stuff, it looks like the kind of thing that would go viral on the internet in general. But I'm not elbowing people at a Starbucks in order to get one of these things for $30. I'm good as far as this is concerned. Other things out there, I thought this was interesting. The FAA has reduced air traffic by 10% across 40 high volume markets during a government shutdown. I live in Houston. The Bush International Airport went viral over the last few days because a bunch of TSA people walked off the job and things got crazy bad there for a while. There was like three, four hour waits to even get from wherever you are to the position where you needed to, you know, actually talk to somebody and then get on a plane eventually. Like it got real bad. That part is definitely true. And I got sent by the radio station I work for here in Texas, KSEV radio, to go ahead and hand.

handle those issues, which I loved that I was sent out there to report on that and do some digital things, because, yeah, it was bad. And it was bad for a while. I then know that by the next day, some people were showing up five, six, seven hours early and getting through the line in 30 minutes because the airport is unpredictable and how bad it gets. But talk about something that might make the American people actually become furious with a government shutdown. I think, you know, the amount of challenges that you face at the airport quickly convinces you that things are bad and you need them to get fixed ASAP as soon as possible. One other thing out there that I just thought was interesting, a weightlifting cardio

for blood sugar control thing went viral. This is a very odd thing. Weight lifters are using different sort of music and different sort of technology things to help them lift weights. Apparently mice that lift weights showed better blood sugar control than mice that ran on wheels, despite not building the extra muscle or improving their cardiovascular systems. This has encouraged people to be unique in their approach to how they weightlift. But it essentially is telling you how good, how healthy a weightlifting is compared to any

other exercise. And that part I'm fine with, but doing weird stuff to get there. I'm not sure I need that. Quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana show. I absolutely have zero issues in using a firearm or lethal force to defend myself or somebody else, my loved ones, I don't care. I absolutely will because it's my Second Amendment right. I also know that a lot of times you have private property restrictions, municipal restrictions that make that impossible. You can't carry, like college kids, for instance, you could be 20 years old and live in a different town and you have to, like, maybe your classes end and it's dark outside, you have to walk back defenseless to your vehicle, to your apartment or wherever.

Something like a burn a gun is ideal for the situations that I'm talking about, because you do not want to be left entirely defenseless. And a lot of these places already have restrictions on knives and all of that. So why not get something that has, you know, the ability to give you, you know, a chance to be safe and defend yourself. It shoots, Burn a gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. The, they have the SD, the Burna SD, which was their most popular model. I think it's being overtaken by their new one. The compact launcher, that's the CL. It's basically the size of a phone. There's no recoil. Easy target acquisition. And if you compare this to stun guns or anything like that, they have maybe one or two, you have one or two

rounds with that. This is 15 rounds in a cartridge with the CL. So you are able, you have a lot of chances there, right? And it doesn't care about gun-free zone signs. It does not care about, there's no background check. There's no fee. There's no tax stamp. There's no any of that. And it ships right to your door. So this gives you an ability to at least have some means of defense. And you really should check it out. I'll never understand why people don't diversify their weapons array. You carry different calibers. You carry blades. Why not have something for when you are restricted beyond your constitutional rights? Take advantage of Burnah's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale.

A great ways to stay connected to her and all the cool things that her team does in digital. I definitely highly recommend anything and everything that is Dana Lash out there on the world of the internet because there's a lot of great stuff. Or Radio Craig C. If you want to follow someone who does very little with their social media page, that would be this guy. That would be me.

I thought that the win in Minneapolis for a mayor who fended off in Ilhan Omar endorsed socialist. It was actually a bigger deal than a lot of media thought it was. Jacob Fry did defeat a crazy person to win his third term as Minneapolis as mayor. And so while all the headlines have been about how bad Republicans did and how well Democrats did in an election that obviously in an election year that obviously wouldn't have attracted a large turnout of conservatives, we're overwhelmingly happy with the decision making of Trump and his administration right now, and we might think that that then accidentally bleeds into a local level for us, and we don't vote the correct people into local positions of power. We see this time and again always.

Also, there is news that the Democrats might finally relent and now open the government backup. They might do this mostly because there's really no win and hasn't been any win and shutting it down as long as they've shut it down for, other than trying to convince the American people that it was, it was Republicans' fault and not theirs, which is crazy. And I actually have some audio of Barack Obama, and I know it went viral, and I'm not exactly thrilled always to play a bunch of Obama audio.

But I'll be honest, like, this is pretty great, and this is the kind of thing you can play for your Democratic friend to tell them why the opposition party, the party that's not in power fighting the way that they fight, the way that Democrats are fighting right now to shut things down until they get what they want is actually really bad. It's actually a really bad approach. So obviously it's the kind of thing that you probably shouldn't do a lot of. And yet darn it, they're doing a whole lot of it. I'll play that audio in just a second, though, because there is something else that I want to talk about.

The GOP has filed a lawsuit against Prop 50, which passed in California. voters decided that California can even further gerrymander a state that's already ridiculously gerrymandered. Ridiculously, the map is insanely drawn to begin with. I don't think the lawsuit will succeed, but I do think it's interesting to try to challenge it that way. And Bill Malugin, specifically of Fox, went on social media to explain how bad Prop 50 is. And the place he chose to best represent the problem is Huntington Beach in California, which is overwhelmingly red.

They have Republicans on their city council. They have Republicans in any position of power, and they are a easily red part of a very blue ocean out there in California. And they will be represented, excuse me, by one of the most hardcore left-leaning Democrats that gets sent to Washington, D.C., by the state of California, Robert Garcia. And they're very upset about that.

Local news even interviewed the mayor of the 10th, and he said that he absolutely does not trust the person who's drank as much of the poison from the Democratic Party as this person has seemed to drink. But it is just interesting to think that these deeply red spots can just be overwhelmed by insanely blue representation by how crazy gerrymandered these states are. And I live in Texas. I live in a place where I know a vast majority of the state, even though I live in Houston that's one of a few blue dots in a very red state, I know a vast majority of the state does believe in the things that will wind up being represented by the people we send to D.C. even after some of the changes to some of these districts, that a whole lot of people will still, by and

large, be ideologically aligned with our representation. I know that California will have a very different version of that, and they already have a ridiculously aggressively, aggressively, gerrymandered thing. To be honest, if Democrats didn't gerrymander, the way that they've done for a long time in New York, California, Illinois, and a couple other places like that, they would never have a majority of representation in D.C. Because so much of our country is actually red. And the biggest reason that you're trying to flood the country with people who are here illegally and then give them, you know, some sort of magic version of status is because you want those red areas to change to blue. Because the other way that Democrats think they can retain power long term is to change the fabric

of our country entirely and to bring in people who don't value any of the things that are traditional American values. And yes, we absolutely have a traditional culture and a belief in certain things that isn't specific to any race. It's not just a white person thing, but it's a thing about certain freedoms and beliefs that by and large, a lot of these socialist Democrats don't believe in. And they want to go away. And they want very bad things to happen in response to that. But anyway, I just, I think it's really interesting to see. that the representation of certain very deeply red spots within a blue state will be so overwhelmingly one-sided and how far to the left the actual person in Congress is that represents Huntington Beach

and how wrong that is in our society. And you'll see more of that. But Bill Malugent does a great job of pointing that out. And Republicans will challenge it in courts, which by the way, whenever Democrats are the ones being challenged in court, everyone thinks it's horrible and terrible. Whenever Republicans are being challenged in court, it's due process. It's everything you're supposed to have in this society, according to mainstream media. All right, let's talk a little bit more, though, about the shutdown, something I haven't really discussed very much today, because I still don't think a lot of people care. I think more people care now than did before. I think when you get to the point where it's the longest shutdown in the history of our country, that most of us have now

noticed some impact on our day-to-day life. But granted, the government gets so much of our money that you would think that them being shut down this long would have a much more detrimental impact on the day-to-day life of most Americans than it's actually having. Yes, if you depend on SNAP benefits, now you're really struggling and you weren't a little while ago, although SNAP benefits are full of fraud, as has been outed in several places already. But I digress. I still think it's interesting, and by and large, it's been my stance all along, that the government shutting down, not impacting our lives more, is proof that we need to fire a whole lot of the bureaucrats who get paid tax dollars that work in Washington, D.C. They need to not have

jobs anymore. And I wish that was an end product of the shutdown. But first, let's play audio of Senator Rosen telling us that this is a Republican shutdown, which it's not, telling us why she thinks it's a Republican shutdown and just going crazy. And then we'll parallel that with audio of Barack Obama telling you why shutting down the government is a terrible thing to do. And of course, he was saying this back when he was the president and back when Republicans were the minority party and they were fighting by shutting down the government. Democrats hated this just a simple amount of years ago. And now they think it's the best possible way to fight what they claim is, you know, tyranny or what they claim is, is, you know, Nazism and whatnot,

even though it's anything but it. And this is a really crazy version. I've just not caring about the people you claim to care about the most. But here first is Senator Rosen telling us that this is absolutely a Republican shutdown. One more time, it isn't. I'm saying to you, it's a Republican shutdown, my friend. You are in control of the White House. You are in control of the House and you are in control of the Senate. And if you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar-a-Lago,

to eat at a gold-plated dinner while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents. By the way, the amount of Democrats who are out of time, with the everyday American, which is what her gold-plated dinner comment is supposed to be about. But the amount of Democrats who now, and by the way, throughout all of the shutdown, are still getting their paycheck. The elite politicians of society couldn't be further removed from understanding what it's like to be an everyday person who actually struggles with financial problems, compared to the Nancy Pelosi's of the world who have become incredibly rich because of their, quote, service to our country, even though thankfully Nancy Pelosi is finally going away.

or at least hopefully is going away in the near future, even though I think her party is just getting more insanely to the left as she finally walks out the door. But nonetheless, that whole message, no, it doesn't just take 60 votes. No, Democrats are doing everything they can do to shut down the country and wield any power they have because they don't like the decisions being made

by people in positions of power that were duly voted into those positions like President Trump. This is how Obama responded when he thought that his agenda was being, thwarted by a minority party of Republicans, by them shutting down the government and risking harming the economy. He chastised them and told them how irresponsible this was. Weird that Obama's not out there saying the same thing now as Democrats are doing this, the party that's in power being the Republican Party. As you just heard, we have control of

the House, the Senate, everything. So how dare we not do this thing that they're doing and we're not in charge of? Here we go. Republicans do not like the law. They can go through the regular channels and processes to try to change it. That's why we have elections. So they can go through the normal processes and procedures of a democracy, but you do not threaten the full faith and credit of the United States of America. Shutting down the government just because you don't like a law that was passed, I have to say, no Congress before this one has ever, ever in history been irresponsible enough

To threaten an economic shutdown to suggest America not pay its bills just to try to blackmail a president into giving them some concessions. I will not negotiate on anything when it comes to the full faith and credit of the United States of America. Weird. So weird that he was unwilling to negotiate and people were so happy about it. And a bunch of places like CNN had their daily ticker that said how long the government had. been shut down and how bad things were going for people and, you know, how it was only going to get worse and worse. If we don't do something to stop, these evil Republicans and the horrible decisions that they're making, excuse me, the horrible decisions. My body just rejected how horrible this narrative is now that that just happened. But anyway, I do, I'm going to catch my breath

for a second. I do think it's ridiculous that so very often the argument on the left right now is that Democrats are fighting the good fight and Republicans are the people that are causing horrible things to happen when so very recently, just a short time ago, the narrative was utterly reversed. Because all they care about is convincing you that they're the good guys, not actually doing good guy things. They're good guys in name only. And it's pretty horrible to see it happen on a daily basis and to not be paying just a little bit of attention, as I think a lot of Democrats, sadly aren't, to realize just how broken the message is compared to the reality of the world in which we live. But darn it, one more time for those in the back, Democrats are the ones that

shut down the government. Democrats are the ones that are likely to finally reopen the government in the near future by agreeing to something that Republicans tried to get passed a ton of times, and Democrats kept saying no to, which is just a simple funding package of the government, which is always the way out of these sort of things. And for some reason, hasn't worked this time because Democrats didn't want it to. All right, well, take a break. We'll come back and do a little bit more. This is Craig Collins filling in on the Dana show. It is the folks over at Superbeats. You guys are very familiar with the Superbeats folks and all of their products that they have. The human and their Superbeats products, what makes their story different is where it began.

Human was founded out of the UT Health Science Center, built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. And unlike other supplement brands, human is science-born, not just science-ish. Their products work and you can feel them working. UT athletes have used Superbeats for over a decade. calling it their cheat code for recovery and endurance. And you can use it for the same reasons to support healthy blood pressure and circulation. Today, more than 160 college and pro teams use human products. And your favorite team probably does as well. And if you've seen the human logo on the Longhorns field this football season, that's more than a sponsorship. It's a

signal from human and UT together leading the feature of cardiovascular health for athletes and for everyone. You can pick up Super Beats at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health today. Get on the road to better health with Super Beats from Human. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. That's right. It's time for a quick five on the Dana Show,

D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X on Twitter. A great ways to stay connected to her at Radio Craig C. If you want to see the occasional Yankee tweet that I put out there in the world, First, Black Rock's Larry Fink is saying that we need to start having digital IDs. This is to form a, quote, social credit score. All of this is becoming more and more important in our society, according to scary, horrible people with terrible agenda.

Like the people like Klaus Schwab, who show up at the World Economic Forum and say truly dark and ridiculous things, they truly seem like Bond villain. Like, honestly, there's nothing else to say about it. But the social credit score is a terrible decision, a bad decision, and one that people are pushing more and more for to wield even more control over your everyday life. That's a real story out there. There's a story about a driver, and this is not a fun story. This is actually quite an awful story to talk about, who plowed into a crowd at a French holiday island.

Two people were critically injured after the man hit pedestrians and cyclists in his vehicle. The crazy thing about this, though, and the reason that the story is landing in a quick-finding. for me is the part that media didn't tell you. Media didn't tell you that the driver was shouting a la Akbar as they plowed into a crowd of innocent people in France and tried to hurt individuals and did successfully hurt a few people with their car. For some reason, many of the headlines left out

the shouting Allah Akbar because right now society is terrified of telling you the truth. For saying things honestly and saying things directly that might seem as though You can be called an ist, a racist, a sexist, and anything is by just saying something out loud that is indeed real facts. Another story, and I can't get over how interesting I think this one in. This one is. People are saying that there's an alien spaceship out there in the world.

It is a comet that has been doing some weird stuff. This comet now most recently seems to have sped up and is heading toward Earth faster than it normally should be. It seems to have made, you know, movements it shouldn't make. A lot of people are saying they think it's aliens. The Atlas 3 comet is what it's actually called if you want to look it up. But it's changed course. It's done stuff that we're scratching our heads to understand. And who knows?

In the very near future, maybe aliens will land on our planet via this Atlas 3 thing. And I'll tell you something that I've been saying for years now. I am so happy if aliens show up in our country or in our world that President Trump is the guy in charge right now. because that press conference is so much better than anyone else being in a position of power when aliens show, whether they're a friend or foe, I do not care. President Trump being in charge of our message to them is wonderful, and I'm happy about it and thrilled by it and can't wait to see it happen if it does in fact happen. I'm not telling you I actually think this thing is aliens,

but it's interesting the amount of people who do believe it to be aliens and the fact that, you know, very near future will know for sure. as the comedy either whizzes by us, hopefully doesn't cause any kind of damage and or lands on our planet and a bunch of people pop out of it. And by the way, I want the over-under on what those people look like.

A lot of people seem to think that aliens now would be like scary, giant things that easily take us in a fight. It wasn't all that long ago. We thought they might be little green men that maybe we could easily take in a fight. I just want to know what people think because if what emerges from the alien spacecraft

that may or may not land in our planet is something that I can fight off like the size of a first grader, I'm nowhere near as worried, as if this thing is like, you know, 11 feet tall. I feel like there's a very big difference in how much I'll care and how amused I'll be in the whole story. All right. And one last quick five thing that I thought was interesting. A British yoga teacher was arrested. She hosted a unique class. This was behind a restaurant. I have to be careful about how I talk about this on the radio. It was an adult class for tantric behavior is what I'll call this.

I know I can say one of these words on the radio. I'm still not going to do it. But it was only about $10, $11 to attend her class. Her yoga classes cost way more money than this does. Her name is Maria. She's 40 and she sparked controversy when she taught a weekly class during a full moon that was very adult in nature. And full moon was not a euphemism.

That was actually what was going on as this class was being taught. But I love every part of this story going viral. I think it's out of the UK, because if anything, it's told you just how cheap this class is. And I think that this teacher might wind up getting flooded with a bunch more students than she can handle for $11 per person to learn some tantric exercises, which is again what I'm calling them. The yoga class should not be so much more expensive than this thing should be.

But then again, I think a lot of people would say you also shouldn't teach this class at all. All right, quick break, a lot more. Greg Collins filling in. on The Dana Show.

All right. Let's immediately get into some of the biggest things going on right now. The Supreme Court's decision on President Trump and his ability to impose tariffs is going to have a seismic impact on our economy. And the biggest reason why it's going to actually hit us is because Trump's tariffs have done a great job of forcing certain deals. We've had, um, uniquely successful relationships that are even better now when it mostly comes to,

you know, rare earth minerals and things that wind up being exponentially important in all of the technology we have in our society. And also we're changing the reliance on China. China had sort of monopoly on a lot of that stuff. But the United States getting these minerals from other places, several other places, mostly because of the threat of tariffs and a deteriorated trade relationship, all of those things have helped position us to be in a great place. And honestly, even more so than anything else, as far as this conversation goes, bringing manufacturing back to the United States is incredibly important. We have an AI revolution that's taking over positions, positions way beyond, say,

you know, factory warehouse stuff. And so any creation of product, any new jobs, however many that can be created by that would be good for us. of more happening in the United States, made by the United States, that then is sold in the United States to us without a tariff on it. All this is good. The Supreme Court may blow this all up. So first I want to play Speaker Johnson and him discussing the serious problem that has existed for decades here in the United States,

and that would be trade disparity and how Trump has found a great way as a business guy to find a solution to that problem, and now it might all blow up in smoke. here we go. I'm cheering for the president that the executive will win on this. Now I say that as a jealous guardian of the legislative branch of government, Article 1. There's a reason we're listed first in the Constitution. This is supposed to be the place of greatest importance. We're the ones that are supposed to make the law and the policy. But we do give the executive traditionally a lot of leeway, a lot of discretion over international trade. And we had a serious problem in this country for decades, as you all know, and you've discussed many times, we had a big

trade disparity. The president stepped in. I think he's used that, that authority appropriately. He's obviously created a lot of leverage for our trade strategy internationally, and it's yielded great results. And so I'm watching that carefully because I'm the guardian of the Article I branch of government, but I think he's well within the lines. And I hope that a majority of the justices agree, because if they reverse all this, it would really be chaos in the markets and in the economy. It'd be a real problem for the country. Yeah, it would change a huge part of what President's Trump agenda is and one of the promises he made to the American people. And by the way, the first day of hearings, the takeaway is that a whole lot of the Supreme Court seems very, very

much not on the side of the president, very skeptical of his ability to have power through a vague federal law. What I do think is interesting about this, and this is the last thing I'll say on this topic, I promise we'll move on to other stuff. But this is a big deal and the decision here will be a gigantic, as I said before. The law itself is vague. Most people will admit that. And when that happens, airing on the side of you have more power, not less, is traditionally what the courts will do. They'll either try to interpret something very narrowly, very specifically, if the language allows for it. And if it doesn't, which most people, again, would admit exists here in this case. And essentially to layman's term this, the president is given authority to do things like tariffs and situations,

where we think it makes sense from a protection of our safety, from a, you know, there's some sort of international threat that exists out there. And economic threats are one of the biggest threats in society now. It's one of the best ways that, say, an enemy country can harm you, is causing chaos within your economy. And so the president has done an amazing job using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to get us better trade deals, to ruin the deficit things that have been harming our country for a very long time, and all of a sudden they want to take it away. I truly think part of the reason they want to disrupt this is because it's working so well.

And that should scream to you how little Washington, all the people in it, the Nancy Pelosi's who are now retiring in it, don't actually care about you. They don't want things to go better for you. They want to do everything they can to make sure that the other political side doesn't get any points. They want to win elections more so than they actually want to help you. The reason the government is still shut down, and it, of course, is a democratic shutdown is because those people want things to be bad so that you vote for them and think that they're going to fix it, even though they're the ones that are causing the harm.

I have two pieces of audio for that. I will go ahead and play that next. First, this is Senator Rosen saying that it's a Republican shutdown and you're in control and how dare you and getting pushback. I'm going to play that audio first. I heavily disagree with her, but I want to play it because then I want to play audio that you've probably heard by now that's gone viral for the last few days of Barack Obama criticizing Republicans when he was in power, when Democrats had a majority in the House and the Senate everywhere, and Republicans were disrupting it by shutting down the government. Obama was very upset about that when that happened during his term. this is exactly what is occurring now in reverse.

The Democrats are pouting and they're upset that, you know, the people in charge are people they disagree with. And the United States of America has put people in positions of power across the executive and legislative branch because we want those changes. And they're trying to disrupt those changes and do everything they can to stop it. But here, first is the crazy rant saying that it's a Republican shutdown. It's a military. What do you say? The Republican shutdown, my friend. You are in control of the White House.

you're in control of the House and you are in control of the Senate. And if you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar-a-Lago, to eat at a gold-plated dinner while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents. By the way, I do love something that Ben Shapiro recently said about all this, the narrative on this. He says that now in society, it seems like many voters respond to you saying the problem out loud without offering a solution.

That is what Democrats are doing. They're trying to blame somebody for the problem. But they also, Mamdani, all of them, are simply stating that, hey, life is hard right now. This is expensive. That's expensive. All these things are issues. And we're going to fix it. But the solutions they offer won't work.

They know they won't work. They'll be terrible for our society. Communism is bad. We've learned this as a world multiple, multiple times. Bad things happen when people get into positions of power, whether they call themselves Democratic socialists or Marxists or communists or whatever, bad things occur next and will sadly maybe learn that lesson again, at least in New York City. But what I think is really fascinating, and I think Shapiro is absolutely right in saying this, is one of the people trumpeting this a bit, is that just saying the problem

out loud is not actually, you know, enough to fix it. And a lot of people simply respond to that. Now, they think that the empathy part is all we need in D.C., so D.C. can keep doing horrible things. And by the way, people who were really good at sounding like they wanted to fix problems and they knew what the problem was, that was Barack Obama. He didn't fix it well. The Obamacare, you know, decisions were horrible for the cost of health care throughout the entirety of our country. You know that. I know that. But he yelled a whole lot about how he thought he could make things better and you wouldn't have to switch your doctor, even though inevitably you did. All of that is yet another example of just saying the part out loud that you feel like, all right, they understand. So we're going to trust them to fix it and then they never do it. But here's Obama ranting about how terrible it is to shut down the economy, to shut down, you know, everything going on in Washington, the government, because you're upset that the party in power is able to dictate the rules and you're not able to dictate them. This is his message at the time it was for Republicans. It sounds like it's very appropriate for Democrats now. Of course, Obama's not saying it anymore, but I digress the Internet as a memory that's perfect.

Here we go. If you do not like the law, they can go through the regular channels and processes to try to change it. That's why we have elections. So they can go through the normal processes and procedures of a democracy, but you do not threaten the full faith and credit of the United States of America. Shutting down the government just because you don't like a law that was passed, I want to say, no Congress before this one has ever, ever in history been irresponsible. enough to threaten an economic shutdown to suggest America not pay its bills just to try to blackmail a president into giving them some concessions. I won't know.

Oh, I'm good. I don't need more Obama because, as you know, everything he says and everything he does are utterly different. But anyway, what I think is really fascinating about that is you could literally just play that two Democrats right now and say, this is what you're doing, this is what you're choosing to do. And now that it's been the longest one in history, it sounds like. like you're willing to open up the government soon. And I'll say one more thing. And this is probably

going too far, but I can't help it. It's who I am. I have always thought that the government shutting down in and of itself is not actually bad for America. It needs to reopen. I won't pretend that the government can be shut down forever. But if it shuts down just for a little bit, maybe not the longest shutdown in history, which is what we're dealing with now, I think that inevitably, a lot of Americans realize how little the government helps us on a day-to-day basis. But there is a time period where eventually that does become an issue. And so I will say that again, I wish what could have happened in reaction to this is we fired a bunch of people who didn't need to have jobs, who don't need to be bureaucratically

employed by our tax dollars in D.C. That could just be canned. And we couldn't do that. That's one thing that I wish we could have done better that we can't do. Because when the government reopens, when people get the paychecks that they need, that haven't been getting them, especially the military, which I know we've done some things to try to circumvent them being harmed in this, but they still get harmed. A lot of people that are federal workers at a very low level get harmed. And of course, the people at the top of the totem pole never do.

But at the end of all of that, when all of this finally goes away and Democrats caused the pain to the people that they say they're trying to protect people who are just hardworking Americans, and they are not the party of hardworking Americans anymore. But anyway, when all this happens, part of the takeaway, I think for a lot of people, will be that there was a while there where I didn't really notice. There was some time where I maybe started to notice that the government being shut down was bad, but there was a good chunk of time

where it didn't really impact me a whole lot, where I didn't even really think about it a whole lot. And that says something about how much good or lack thereof is actually happening in D.C. in general. But all right. We'll take a break. A lot coming up. Greg Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

It's time for Florida man. That's right. It's time for Florida man on the Dana Show, a D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X on Twitter. A great ways to stay connected to everything she's got going on. What is a bathroom dispute was sadly a question that the internet had to ask after a South Florida man pulled a knife during a bathroom dispute at a store? Lots of questions. Not a lot of answers there. The last thing you want to be the end result of a customer using the restroom inside your organization. This would be a public's facility is for them to come out wielding a knife. And that is exactly what a 72 year old man did. This is something that happened at 9 a.m. on a Monday, too. Because part of me thinks, and I'll just say it the way that you probably expected to be said, that a whole lot of these Florida stories involve alcohol, that somebody's drunk or at least somebody's sort of narcotic has been used to cause the bad decision making. But at nine o'clock in the morning,

you assume that maybe it's not that. But an officer had to intervene. They actually had to enter the restroom and saw a guy holding a knife, ordered him to drop it, ordered him to, you know, do whatever he needed to do. The guy complied, but he told police that he just really needed to use the bathroom. And he became upset when the victim did not move out of the way. This would be the guy he was threatening with the knife. So at some point, if someone burst into the restroom, is like, I got to go now, and there's no open stall, no open facility, and you're in Texas, excuse me, you're in Florida, not Texas. If you're in Florida, someone might pull a knife on you. That might be the end result of that, which would cause me to both need the restroom and also be

very willing to remove myself from whatever situation I was in where the knife was a part of it. I would imagine the person who has the knife pulled on them by the crazy guy, then needs the bathroom even more, not less. All right. A woman reported, a woman, report at St. Pete's home about an invasion. An assault was all fabricated with an AI photo. So this is a crazy story. This is that of St. Petersburg. A woman calls 911. Her name is Brooke. She's 32 years old. She claims that somebody broke into her apartment, that they threatened her, that terrible stuff happened. The real result, though, is that she faked the whole thing. She used artificial intelligence to make a fake photo, to share with police after they responded to the scene.

the claim that some things were happening that weren't. The victim, now suspect, as St. Petersburg Police Department refers to Ashley, had shown proof of images of a person that she claimed to not know, that it entered her home forcibly, possibly injured her, getting inside the house, stole things, all kinds of stuff. A canine unit was used. I love that part of this story. So you're using the technical, you know, the advanced AI stuff

to try to make your claim seem legitimate. And the way that that gets thwarted, the way that they defeat your story not being true, is a good old dog doing some sniffing around the house. That's my favorite thing I've heard in a while. The best way to defeat AI and all the crazy people who will do horrible things to lie and, you know, use it to their advantage is you just have some well-trained dogs sniff out the lie. I love dogs. They're better than cats. This is yet another example of that. The detectives immediately saw proof, evidence of all the fabricated,

things, including even actually a TikTok trend that she seemed to be copying, where you pretend to be a victim, mostly to get some clicks and links and things online, and you use AI to get it done. Talk about stupid, by the way, because beyond whatever issues she's going to have legally from this one attempt, the other thing you're doing, if you're someone who's going to wield cops in any way, shape, or form to benefit you when it's a lie, is you're going to cause way less help to be done for you and for other people. When the cops assume the next time this call comes in is that it is a lie. Not that they're actually not going to do their job.

I just think it's insane that you make it this much harder on police already struggle with a lot of things because of how society at times seems to talk about them. But anyway, a woman tried to fake an assault in our house using artificial intelligence, and the dogs put that threat to rest. Finally, a tatted up Florida man was found with meth. hidden in a place you don't want it to be hidden in. He told the cops there's nothing wrong with drugs after they discovered stuff. Thomas is 41 years old. He's got multiple tattoos on his face, which is always a move that I don't understand. You know, like tattoos and the rest of the body

fine. But you can't cover up the face tattoos. So that's the unique version of giving in. And then you hide drugs again in parts of your body that I would not want to hide anything in. and when they finally discover them the cops, who can probably already tell maybe by the way you're walking that some issues are there, they then tell you, you know, this is not okay, this is illegal, and your response is, hey, drugs are fine, man, just leave me alone.

Let me do whatever I want to do. Isn't America a free country? That doesn't work, by the way. It doesn't get you out of the problems that you've created for yourself.

Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about, D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X on Twitter. Great ways to stay connected to everything going on for her and the show. Caroline Levitt reacted to some of the Biden regime spying on President Trump and anybody in his orbit a whole lot of Republicans, which is certainly damaging information to now be official. not that it's surprising a whole lot of people in response to this story on the right,

both voters and people in media like myself, our reaction was, yeah, duh. Of course we think this is happening. It shouldn't be. It's highly illegal. People need to be in trouble for this. It would be wonderful if, you know, actually we see a whole bunch of people thrown off and hauled into jail for these sort of things. And yet, I don't know if we'll see enough of it, but the FBI is at least giving us more information about Arctic Frost and how crazy it was. here's what Caroline Levitt, the press secretary, said yesterday. Excuse about breaking news from the Attorney General. She revealed just about an hour ago that the Biden Justice Department sees President Trump's

official first term phone and subpoenaed his private phone records. Do you have a reaction to that? And also, do we know if they actually got those private call records? I saw the Attorney General's post on that. For additional questions, I would refer you to the Department of Justice. but I think this is just further evidence of the egregious overreach and weaponization of government that took place under the previous White House against then former president and now President Donald J. Trump. It was a clear effort by the Biden White House and the Biden DOJ to go after the president,

and this is just further evidence of that. All right. I want to say a couple things in response to how Caroline Levitt handled this question, because I thought it was great. When you have someone on the left in a position to answer a question, like this, even if it's a softball, which technically this is, because it's evidence of spying on Trump and she's the press secretary for the current Trump administration. Of course, something Biden hoped never would have happened that Trump got back into the White House and I'm so thrilled he did because of stuff like this. This is one of the biggest reasons to be very, very happy that Trump is back in power and that he put people like Cash Patel in positions of power to out all the

corruption that we know exists in D.C. But anyway, as I say that, I love. the fact that she said, I refer you to the other department for more information, which is what you always hear from the left. When they don't know how to answer something, they just say, next question. Somebody else, go ahead and answer that, not me at a later date. Caroline also gave her opinion. She also said how this is ridiculous, overreach and horrible and terrible. I'm paraphrasing her comments on it. But I think that that's an excellent way to handle it, is yes, you should look to the Department of Justice for more information on the specifics of how much they know. of what potentially could be in any of these court cases and things that'll come from this.

But also this is horrible and just more of the same in a way. We just know that we've seen this before and we'll see it again, is Democrats are the horrible party that does the bad things. Even though they want to convince their voters, they're the good guys. They're the people that would never do any authoritarian behavior. And then they do it again and again. They weaponize the Department of Justice. Then they blame that on Trump, which is insane.

All right. I do want to play this audio. I probably should have played it more. I haven't played it enough, but I do really like it. This is Nancy Pelosi. Well, no, it's not actually her. It's excuse me,

Trump's reaction to Nancy Pelosi announcing, she's finally retiring. She's finally going away. This is Fox News reporting on this and saying, Peter Ducey, exactly how President Trump responded to the news, and Nancy is finally leaving Congress and will finally go,

I guess, make millions and millions of more dollars legally with insider. information while not actually serving no one in D.C. She was not serving the people. She wasn't serving San Francisco. She has her own long form like goodbye San Francisco video out there. I watched it and I don't want to play it for you. I was so annoyed by the inauthenticity of it, the ridiculous and of it, like everything about it. It's disgusting to watch people go to D.C. Not fight for any of their constituents at all, just better their own lives and rich their own lives and then come back home after all of that, pretend as though they fought the good fight for

you. There's something uniquely horrible about that. But here's what Ducey said about getting Trump to react to Nancy Pelosi is finally leaving, finally returning back to the hole that she never should have climbed out of. Yes, and I just chatted with President Trump about this breaking news that Nancy Pelosi will be leaving Washington. He tells me the following, and this is a quote, the retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America. She was evil, corrupt, and only focused on bad things for our country. She was rapidly losing control of her party, and it was never coming back. I'm very honored.

She impeached me twice and failed miserably twice. Nancy Pelosi is a highly overrated politician. And so that is the first word. Every part of that's amazing. I love the fact that he said he's honored that he got impeached twice, and she failed twice by the Pelosi. and then also that she's just a terrible person who was bad for the country. By the way, we also have this mix of audio.

Producer Stephen created this for me. This is mental gaffes. Just a flashback to, I think it was like 16 brain freezes within a one-off press conference for Nancy Pelosi. When you hear people mentally struggling this much, you immediately know that we should have an acuity test, that your brain should be proven to be working well enough, to be in a position of power in D.C., and if you can't pass a mental acuity test,

you've got to go. This would be a moment where you're pretty sure Pelosi wouldn't pass like a first-grade English test. But here, let's play some of that audio too. March 5th, marked the six months, the end of the time-franic state,

the list goes on and on. What? Wilson. I'm very proud of the work of Benny Thompson and ranking member Thompson. Most exhilarating thrill for people, it's not permanent. And again, as you know,

yesterday 14 months later, House and Senate is happening this week. My brain hurts a lot from yesterday, 14 months later, House and Senate things happening this week. Like, it hurts. That's only 36 seconds of a much longer clip that I could keep playing of Nancy. just swinging and missing in basic speech things.

And you've got to say to yourself that this has to be a easy demonstration of why a mental acuity test is important. And I don't mean an age limit because I think that someone like Trump, who every day rolls in front of media takes hard questions and gives answers and might still be a guy that'll talk for 20 minutes after you give him a, how are you doing today, sir, question. And he rants and it goes all different directions. it's still the same guy you remember from a few years ago, and he's still capable of back and forth anything with media.

And he does it so, so often that he can't possibly, you know, even remotely be afraid of being thought of as anything other than a guy who's fully capable of having these conversations. Most Democrats high for media at certain ages, because their brains are broken and they're mush. And so whether Nancy Pelosi has a health issue, which I don't hope on anyone, even someone who's evil and corrupt like she is or anything else out there.

I just think it's going to be good for America that she goes away. But here's the big takeaway, the part that probably matters more than anything else. A lot of Democrats are also happy to see Pelosi go away, but not for the reasons I'm happy, because they don't think she's radical enough. A lot of people in D.C. that were trying to push her out, people like AOC, after the Mumdani win in New York, feel emboldened. They feel like, yes, we're going to radicalize more of the left. The base on the left has been told for, I think, decades now that you have to stop being so insanely, you know, on your side. You have to stop being so radical. And they've been forced to a certain extent, not the people who are

all over social media complaining about things, but the people in positions of power to actually have some modicum of in the middle version of actually pretending that they're, you know, Biden, for an example, is someone that was supposed to be a more moderate Democrat. And then once you could realize that he wasn't actually in charge and that the auto pen was, they made him do more and more radical things. But the left wants to be insane. They want to be so far over in the side of men can take women's bathrooms and do whatever they want with them sort of thinking.

Men can play women's sports, et cetera, et cetera. And people like Mandami are going to help them believe that they're capable of doing that. that they're going, by the way, my favorite joke from S&L in a long time has been Shane Gillis calling Mammie a Zoltar Rob Zombie. And every time I say the Mumdani name now, I want to call him Zoltar Rob Zombie, because it's just so good. That's just so excellently done. And I bet you it was a Shane Gillis joke and not an S&L joke. But anyway, Nancy Pelosi going away is not bad. But I don't know that it's going to be as good as it should be because I think that Democrats are only going to get more rational.

in the process. All right. One last thing I do want to play. This is President Trump talking about how congressional Democrats wish to do horrible things to America, essentially saying a lot of what I'm saying, saying that, you know, they're the party of communism moving forward. And I happen to agree that President Trump and what the lesson he learned from the election recently is, I mean, like, look, I'll say one other thing about this. Jay Jones wished for the death of his political enemies. We have text messages that went viral that people knew about, that said that he wanted to not only kill his political enemies, but like kill their families, their kids. He literally sounded like an insane cartel person that wants to do a lot of harm. And he somehow still was elected to a position

of power because Democrats are the bad guys. And they want to pretend they're not the bad guys, but they're horrible people. And they want to just pretend that the Republican side of the aisle is actually full of these monsters. And yet the Democratic politicians themselves have once again outed their, their, you know, dialogue as being the kind of thing that would make a Republican unelectable. But for some reason, makes a Democrat, that's fine. We'll go ahead and put him in a position of power. But here's Trump talking about how dangerous things are getting without actually, I think, calling the people who vote for these individuals, the communists, too. But this is truly what you're actually seeing. And darn it, everyone on the right gets called a Nazi. Trump gets called

a Nazi. But the only person who's been elected into a position of power that seems to agree with a lot of the things the Nazis believed is Zoltar Rob Zombie, which again my favorite. All right, here we go. If you want to see what congressional Democrats wish to do to America, just look at the result of yesterday's election in New York where their party installed, a communist as the mayor of the largest city in the nation. Remember, I've said, we will never have a socialist

elected to any posts in our country. I used to say that, and I was right. We skipped socialist, and we put in a communist instead. They're not good, sir, definitely bad. He goes on. I probably will play more of that audio in just a bit. But yes, they seem hell-bent

on turning America into the communist Cuba or socialist Venezuela, you know, version of a country. That is something that Trump said that I definitely agree with based on this election just a few days ago. But hopefully all you see at New York in the next few years is catastrophic failure. Not because I hope bad things on everyday people, but if you vote someone into a position of power

who then does things that they promise to do and it actually winds up harming you and everyone around you, hopefully it teaches you the lesson that you shouldn't elect somebody like this anymore.

My name is Craig Collins filling in.

Thrill to be with you. DeLash, Dana Lash Radio on X on Twitter. A great ways to stay connected to her. First, there is a bear cup, the barista cup, that's on sale at Starbucks that is destroying the internet. or at least a lot of young people are getting in fights, apparently, in Starbucks, to buy these items. Two things you should know. It is a glass cup that looks like a bear that costs more than 30 bucks after taxes. And the second one is, it's not worth it. All the fighting, all the trying to get these, and Starbucks doesn't actually sell a whole lot of them at any specific location. So if you didn't show up by now, you probably didn't get one today, and you're going to have to be on a waiting list to get one in the near future.

But anyway, the other thing you should know is that, you know, if you wait a lot, long enough, they're going to be everywhere. Because this is just a hype, a craze that will quickly die out as more and more people buy the Starbucks glass bear cup and feel like they have some sort of fancy item that other people don't have. It's the rarity of it that makes it special, and Starbucks won't care about that. They'll sell too many. But anyway, that's a big story, apparently on the internet.

Another thing, the average person has two spots in their home that they believe are theirs. My spot number one, my spot number two. people aren't supposed to sit in your chair, sit near your window, whatever it might be. I don't have any of these. There's nowhere in my house that I think is my spot. But what I actually have is spots my wife has designated to me and spots that hers. So like when I sit on the couch, if I'm in her spot, that's wrong. And I got to go to the area that she's decided is my spot.

The same is true for anything else. My closet is only a certain amount of space that is for me. That's not been my decision. I think if you're married, you have a very, different version of two spots or even one spot that you did not pick for yourself that the miss is picked for you. And then finally, one last thing. I think it's interesting. Predator Badlands has gotten like an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's the latest predator movie. It's just a bunch of scary, ridiculous, fun, violent fighting with, you know, aliens and people or cyborgs and something

and whatnot. I want to play a little bit of this trailer because I want you to share in the joy I have. I know this is radio, I know you can't see it, but the voiceover alone should tell you what the story is about. Predator Badlands looks like it'll be a big movie this weekend. Welcome to the most dangerous planet in the universe. Yeah, baby. Where everything is trying to kill you. Uh-huh.

You're here to prove yourself. Yeah, yeah. Hunting something. that can't be killed. Yeah, I'm in. I'm totally it, by the way. I am here to prove myself to the aliens and hunting something that can't be killed.

It sounds amazing. This is the kind of movie that I like a lot because it's probably dumb. There's probably a bunch of people who walk out being like, the aliens never would have done that, and I don't care about those guys. Because I want to see the violence and the craziness. But that is an 88% on tomatoes.

I'd love it. I don't do near enough on social media to deserve it, but I'd still love to have you. Anyway, Prop 50 passed in California. Out of all the things that were sort of a big deal that we saw over the last couple days, and granted, unsurprising that in an off-year election of any kind that Democrats showed up in much stronger forces than Republicans, because by and large, people who are on the conservative side of the aisle are happy with

what's happening in D.C., happy with the president, happy with some of the decisions being made by a whole lot of the other representatives in the House or in the Senate, probably not exactly thrilled with the shutdown, although not blaming Republicans anywhere near as much as Democrats want us to blame them for these issues. But anyway, Prop 50 in California will allow for gerrymandering, redistricting, essentially a more ridiculous map than already existed in California to allow them to have an overreaching democratic representation of that state, even though there are conservative pockets. One such pocket as Bill Mollugin talked about on social media is Huntington Beach, which they even did an interview, I think NBC4 in Los Angeles, always on your side, I'm guessing,

is their tagline or something like it. But they did an interview with the mayor, Pat Burns, very Republican, very red Huntington Beach, and asked him what he thought of having a deeply Democratic representative sent off to Washington for him because they're going to carve out that slice of red California and throw it into District 42 where they have someone in charge that is, you know, not exactly going to be a person that represents their feelings, their thoughts, their beliefs, or actually District 47, excuse me. And here's what the mayor said in response to this is going to be a representative of the things your constituents, your people want to have done in D.C. I don't trust him. By what I've seen him on the TV, seen him chanting and at these rallies,

he's drank the poison of the Democrat Party. He's all in for the big show and not for what's right. We love America. We love this community. And we want to preserve it. He actually gets emotional, as he says, we want to preserve it. We want to do our best to actually keep America the way it's supposed to be or the way he feels that it currently is. And a whole lot of people hate it. They want to change it because they hate America. Robert Garcia, by the way, is the representative that is potentially going to represent a hunting to beach now after that Prop 50 change. And he just doesn't share any of the values that people in one of the more populous parts of that new district feel. None of the

values that they have themselves. And that's a broken system. And I've said this before, I believe I even said it on this show, filling in for Dana before, that it's crazy that Democrats have been gerrymandering for a long time. Both sides of the aisle do it. But they've been doing it so ridiculously and for so long that it's actually hard for them to carve out as many seats in places like California and Illinois that the Republicans are capable of carving out in just Texas alone. And it says that Republicans maybe haven't done enough to have things be as ridiculously. insanely drawn as the Democrats, but they're still going to create more seats, more seats in the House because they're going to draw these maps even more ridiculously. And I love when you see someone

like J.B. Pritzker of Illinois out there claiming, you know, that they have to fight fire with fire, and then you show the current version of a map in Illinois and how insane it is and how ridiculous that most of that state can be red and only small pockets like Chicago are blue. And yet the state is easily overwhelmingly represented by Democrats and say to yourself, that seems broken, and they're like, ah, stop looking at us and let's only pay attention to others. But this is interesting to me. Another story out there, a Jewish FDNY commissioner has decided to resign. That's the fire department in New York. His name is Robert Tucker. I think this is amazing. I think it's awful that he feels he has to do this. But I think it's incredible to stand up and say that

Zoran Mamdani does not represent anything that I feel and believe. His anti-Israel stance is one that is uniquely harmful to the Jewish population of New York and to himself. I'm paraphrasing he didn't say these things exactly, just that he does not align with the new mayor. And so he's decided to resign. I think that seeing a lot more of this in a place like New York City, which has a significant Jewish population,

would help demonstrate how many people, even within New York, are not, you know, horribly on the crazy version of the left that thinks that socialism and communism is the right path forward in our society. And I say this is someone who's lived in a lot of big cities that have a lot of Democratic representatives and a lot of people in the cities that seem to drink the Democratic Kool-Aid. Because it's important to have, you know, your cone of believing that there are people like you in whatever place you live. I'm in Houston right now. I lived in Chicago for a long time, and I'm from the New Jersey, New York area. And so I've been around a whole lot of ideologically different people for me.

And it's nice to remember that I'm not alone, even in those places and what I think and what I say. In Huntington Beach in California is not alone in California and having a lot of, you know, Republican ideals and Republican representatives, at least within their own community, that are put into positions of power locally for them, even if they're not going to be the people they get to send to D.C. anymore because of the gerrymandering and redistricting there. And I'll say this, it's a weird pivot, but I can't help it. One of the big things that Charlie Kirk did incredibly well, and one of the biggest reasons I think the world will miss Charlie Kirk, or at least our country will miss Charlie Kirk, is he went into places like colleges and had conversations with the crazy woke people on the left that were at those colleges. and a whole lot of the people that agreed with Charlie on the right,

who might also be at school there, finally felt like they had a place and people that felt things in common with them. He gave those people a voice. And I thought that that was a really interesting. And he did it very often. There'd be people that walk up to the microphone at these college events that would say, hi, I'm a conservative, on this age,

I don't fit in with the people around me, and I just want your advice on this. And Charlie was compassionate, always, in his response to a lot of people. both the left and the right when he'd have these discussions. But that's one of the biggest things that we'll be missing in society is the belief that no matter where you are, no matter who around you says that nobody is, is, you know, thinking what you think,

that it's likely that there are other people, there are like-minded adults around in any of those communities, and they need to start using their voice. I do believe the biggest reason that Republicans did not do well in an off-year election in just a few places, especially in places like New Jersey, where you're really hoped things would go differently than they did is a lot of people are fine. They decide to themselves, you know what? I'm not going to show up. I'm not going to vote because I like what Trump is doing. I like what, you know, my local people have been doing to a certain extent that maybe I won't go ahead and use my voice to make sure that more people like Trump are in positions of power and other

places. That version of being satisfied with the status quo is what causes a lot of people on the side of the aisle that's currently winning at a federal level to not show up and vote in elections. And then you have terrible things happen. I know New York had an incredible turnout. I realize that. I understand it. There are a lot of places where the turnout wasn't what you wanted it to be, especially what conservatives would have wanted it to be. And I think the lesson there is you've got to vote all the time. You can't be mobilized. I feel like I'm preaching now. I don't mean to get up on the soapbox. I hate doing this, especially on a platform that's not actually mine on the Danish and Dana Lash and whatnot.

I don't think she disagree with me. I just, I shouldn't soapbox this much. But I can't help but think to myself. And I know Ben Shapiro has been saying this a lot recently that the left's version of a, you know, calling card right now, a mobilizing chant is to just say that they empathize with you and they know whatever the problem is,

even if they never actually fix it and all the solutions they offer to fix it, they know won't work. You can take gun violence, for example. The left will tell you that the best way to stop, gun violence is to take away your guns. And only people who actually abide by the law would listen to that. The person who's deciding they're going to hurt other people doesn't care if getting the gun illegally is an extra step in the process, which is insane. Other left will say stuff like that,

but they do all the time. They just use rhetoric and narrative and never actual solutions to problems as part of it. But I say all this to say one other thing. And I guess this is the soapboxy thing is that when you choose to sit something out, you say two different things to the politicians in power. One, you tell them that the only way to mobilize you is to be more radical, that whatever the message is, they have to scare you and fearmonger their way into getting a bigger turnout. People like Mamdani have to tell you that it's life for death or people like Kamala Harris,

who, thank God, lost as resoundingly as she did, has to tell you that it's a fight against Nazis. And that's for the left to be mobilized. but the truth is that all that rhetoric could go away if people just voted all the time. If we actually just showed up and told them what we want, what we think is appropriate and what we think is good for society and a whole lot of people did that who maybe sat out this midterm election, then I don't think you would have had the resounding wins by Democrats that you saw. And so I hope in the future that that's what happens, that more of us get mobilized to vote all the time and all the elections, even the ones where we think there's no shot that our candidates going to win. because if enough of us do that, eventually some of those candidates might actually win some of those races. And especially what happened in New Jersey and the hope that it would have been better, I think would have been swayed by a better turnout by conservative voters that I think do exist in that place.

All right. Well, we'll take another break. After the break, I do want to talk about another fight that happened outside of a bathroom. We had a fight in Florida during the Florida man's story where a dude pulled a knife on another guy inside a bathroom because he had to go. and the guy that was in front of him was blocking his ability to go. There was also a fight in Odessa, Texas at a Bass Pro Shop that involved a restroom and guys waiting in line for the bathroom.

I don't know why. People are fighting each other in bathrooms now or in lines, two bathrooms, but I'll tell you more of that story. I'll even play some audio, even though it's a lot of yelling and I had to do a lot of bleeping of it, because for some reason,

right now, one of the most dangerous places to be is in the line of the restroom, trying to go to the bathroom or potentially blocking a crazy Florida dude with a knife, while you're, you know, using the facilities. This seems bad. I'll get to it more in just a bit. We'll have some fun with some other silly topics out there. Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about for some reason. People are getting in fights at or around bathrooms in Odessa, Texas at a grand opening of a basketball. Pro Shop. A couple guys got in a fight. I don't know what that was about. Well, in line at the restroom. And then a couple other dudes started fighting near them. I think about an XL T-shirt or a triple X, a T-shirt. So two weird fights happening roughly the same time. I believe I have some clean audio that will play of this situation. Here we go.

All right. I'm sorry. I love the audio that you can actually make out of someone yelling and you wonder why our schools are falling apart. I am so amused by that part of this fight. Because yeah, if people are devolving into chaos at the grand opening of a Bass Pro Shop over triple X t-shirts and or use of a bathroom line in a bathroom, I agree that this could be part of the reason that things are going so terribly for so many of us. You're an example of how bad things are going right now. That's well done. But my real question, and I don't have an answer, and I hope maybe some of you do out there, why are we getting in so many fights in bathroom? A guy in Florida. pulled a knife on another dude because he wasn't going fast enough and the guy behind him really wanted to go. And that's a unique situation. It might speed up the use of the facilities, I do think, to have someone behind me pull a knife on me as I'm going. I would think that that might make things go even quicker. But nonetheless, probably not an appropriate process, not an appropriate move to be made on another of many stories out there for some reason of people fighting near and around bathrooms.

I hate that I'm going to tell you about this, but I'm going to do it quickly. Oprah has put out her favorite things 2025 edition, something she's been doing for a very long time. Often people react to the most out-of-touch things on the Oprah's favorite things list, which is really just an opportunity for companies to give Oprah money to tell people that still like her that they should buy these things from these companies. The most ridiculous thing was a $2,000 espresso machine. and then also, and this is my favorite, not exactly for its cost,

but the ridiculousness of it, ridiculousness of it, reading glasses for the shower. These are specifically designed to not fog up, to not have as much, you know, water stay on them,

but they're glasses that you would put on so you can read things while you're in the shower. I don't know why you need that. I'm going to be very honest. I'm a guy who's worn glasses a lot of my life, and I am totally fine

taking them off in the shower and dealing with no reading capabilities for the amount of time I'm sharing. That is something that I can sacrifice to be cleanly on a daily basis. I don't know why people can't do that. There's $60. The anti-fog reading glasses that are designed to be worn and used within the shower. It just seems strange.

That seems odd. I feel like you don't need anything like that at all. And darn it, I think Oprah knows it and everybody knows it. But they threw some money at her. So, hey, let's go ahead and recommend a truly odd product this year. And then finally, one last thing I do really like this too. not because it's something that's good. And honestly, the conspiracist in me,

the conspiracy theorist in me, wants to believe that somehow this is tied to politics, but 531 hospital patients in Maine were sent letters that told them they were dead. They were all alive. So they got the letter. They read the letter. They probably wondered why Maine decided to send an envelope to them.

But it said that you're dead. Barbara, I hate to have you hear this from me, but you're not alive anymore, was a version of a thing that was out there and other versions of it. And Maine had to apologize for it. Maine Health said that as a nonprofit, an error occurred somehow in their computer system by a mistake. And they sincerely regret the, quote, goof that occurred, where you sent a bunch of people in hospitals, letters that said that they were already dead when they were still not that at all and hopefully, you know, getting better. But what's crazy about this is it immediately makes me think of the amount of dead people who vote in elections and the potential that maybe this system was trying to be used to see who would respond to these letters, to let them know they weren't in fact dead so that you can't use their vote in an election later on. Maybe this was a test. Maybe more than 531 people got these letters. And some of them sadly had passed away.

So they didn't respond back with, no, I'm not dead. So then they can vote in an upcoming election for a Democrat. I'm not sure. It feels that way to me. But darn it, this is just a strange, odd thing. And I wonder what you do if you get one of these letters. If you actually laugh to yourself and say, well, this person's wrong, or if part of you also gets terrified, that it means that they're predicting something that's coming

and you need to know more, I would definitely be asking questions at that hospital if it were me. All right, this is Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.
