A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt did an event at a Turning Point USA thing. I thought it was uniquely good, not just because of how Caroline Levitt handled herself. But Erica Kirk. uh yet again uh shows a class that not a lot of humans have.
So, I'll play two pieces of audio from that. The first one. The press secretary, I love the way that this was referred to by some people who put it up on social media, ended a liberal's career in front of thousands of people where a very liberal person asked a question to the White House press secretary about voter fraud. And the answer seemed real, real obvious. Everybody but the guy, the liberal guy who asked the question.
Here we go. Is it worth it to risk millions of Americans from voting in order to prevent a few hundred cases of voter fraud? First of all, I love this version of applause because just wait for the better one. No need to boo. It's an honest question.
I'm happy to give you an honest answer. First of all, I have not seen the data you provided, so I'd like to go check it myself and make sure that it's actually accurate in the way that you're citing it. And there is certainly much more, I believe, voter fraud in this country, and I'm sure the statistics back it up than what you cited with one survey. And why are you okay with any voter fraud in the United States of America? Yeah.
The game is on.
So much better. That's fine. That's all you need because they keep cheering for a little while and I can't keep waiting. But yes, why are you okay with any voter fraud? Is a wonderful question back.
Because I love the premise, and I agree with the press secretary, that there's more voter fraud than the amount that the person cited. But I love that it's like there might be some. And if there's some, why do you care so much? And the answer is probably because it's losing conservatives elections. By and large, it seems like that fraud for some reason.
It's so weird. It seems like it's always the Democrats who get more votes than they should be getting. Let's play this. This is Erica Kirk in a conversation with Caroline Levitt, being asked about the amount of people who are still talking about her. who are still throwing conspiracy theories and all kinds of things at the wall that is the internet and seeing what sticks, seeing what other things can get people a bunch of attention.
Essentially, they're continuing to disparage a widow in ways that make just no sense. And so here's how Erica Kirk answered this question. I really liked this answer, to say the very least. No, totally. There will be people that are like, did you see what they're saying about you on X?
And I'm like, no, I quite frankly, I don't have time. And actually, quite frankly, I really do not care. I am actually really busy right now playing Magnetiles, and that is way more than hearing the endless. That really is just Noise. Yeah, it's noise and stupid.
I would go a little step further. The president, I know I played this audio yesterday on the show, told her she should sue the pants off of people, and she should because it's just so crazy that there's so much of that out there. It's upsetting. It's not, I don't know. It's just the kind of thing that when you When you see the amount of it that's going on and the amount of people are reacting to it, you know it's about something else.
You know, it's not about people who actually believe that Erica Kirk orchestrated the murder of her husband. It's there's something else there. There's something deeply personal. To some of these people, that has nothing to do, I assume, even with Erica Kirk, that makes them behave this way, so different. Than how you'd expect people, human beings, to behave toward each other.
I don't want to shift gears and play something else. I thought this was interesting. This is Barack Obama. In 2008, during a presidential debate Talking about Iran. This audio is going more and more viral.
Not because there aren't moments in it that still bleed into what the Democratic position is today. But by and large, the majority of what Obama says is what it seems Trump, our current president, believes right now. And the biggest reason why you went into Iran in the first place, it is amazing. to think that this is uh almost twenty years ago, but that the Democratic position on so many things has changed so profoundly and they refuse to acknowledge that they ever thought this way. Instead, they call the behaviors of people like President Trump evil and racist and horrible and terrible.
and say how he's a liar and an awful person. And then just pretend this didn't happen. They want you to be dumb and to not know the history of stuff, to believe what they say when they say that it's just one man who's a terrible, awful human being. But here, I want to play Obama again in 2008 presidential debate talking about Iran. What we've seen over the last several years is Iran's influence grow.
They have funded Hezbollah, they have funded Hamas. They have gone from zero centrifuges to 4,000 centrifuges. To develop a nuclear weapon.
So obviously, our policy over the last eight years has not worked. No, it didn't. It continued to not work, by the way. Senator McCain is absolutely right. We cannot tolerate.
A nuclear Iran. It would be a game changer. Correct. Not only would it threaten Israel.
Okay. a country that is our stalwart ally. But it would also Create an environment in which you could set off an arms race in the Middle East. It's so weird to hear the president, the former president, say all those things about how dangerous Iran is, how they are continuing to gain technology. And again, this is almost 20 years ago when we're telling them not to, and we're trying to prevent them via sanctions and other things from having the success they wound up continuing to have at developing all kinds of weapons, et cetera, et cetera.
But it's amazing to listen to that. Because the rhetoric of today and the argument on both sides today. And a lot of left-leaning media, the left-leaning machine, all of that crap, I will say just. Again and again and again to their idiot voters, that this is so far from what we believe in, that Trump is just a big, terrible, awful liar and a horrible person, and this needs to stop ASAP. And it's just incredible to know that their side at one point was, I guess, more human.
They were willing to admit the truth. just slightly more often. Here's Jim Acosta, by the way. This feels like a great thing to put. In the background of the conversation about Obama saying all the stuff that Trump is saying now.
But Jim Acosta being interviewed about the propaganda machine that is a bunch of television, of course he defends CNN like a moron. But I love the thing he says at the end of this, because it went very viral when he says that he doesn't believe the United States Should have propaganda on television in this country. And he seems to forget everywhere he's ever worked and everything he's ever done as a media personality with his biased, one-sided propaganda that he's been shilling for years. Let's go ahead and listen to him think that he's above the stuff he himself does. That's something to be worried about because it doesn't take a genius to figure out that they're going to try to impose.
That same kind of Top-down editorial mandate over at CNN that, hey, we're going to be a little bit more MAGA, we're going to be a little bit more trumpy. And, you know, I mean, I think that's dangerous. You know, we don't need to have propaganda networks. We don't need to have them, the propaganda networks. We need our propaganda to stay the way it was.
You can't, how dare you do anything that's even remotely more in the middle, or as he says, trumpy, which is ridiculous. Like, that's the other thing. That's actually the thing I most wanted to talk about on this topic. is because of the way that so much Was curated to benefit Democrats and Democratic voters. That was the way Twitter used to work before Elon Musk bought it, the way that Facebook and all these other social media platforms worked, and the way that most mainstream media behaves, because it was so curated to favor the Democratic opinion.
There are a whole lot of Democrats like Jim Acosta that just believe. That everybody thinks like them, however far to the left they are, and doesn't understand the amount of people who don't, which is why it's so shocking to a lot of these people when President Trump can win the popular vote while winning the 2024 election. Like, it's shocking. And then your brain has two ways to cope with that shock. You either have to assume that everybody who voted unlike you is a horrible, terrible person, and that's what Democrats often do.
They vilify the right and all the voters on the right. Or you have to assume the logical thing that maybe you're not consuming enough information from sites that don't agree with you, from the places that disagree with you, from the other side of the political aisle. Maybe, just maybe, you're in some sort of cone of bias. And that's one they never do. They never dive that deep and understand it that well.
But that's inevitably going to be true about a whole lot of people who eventually step out of their cone. I think that's also what makes them so mad. I think that's why so many liberal people who are confronted with thoughts they don't agree with eventually lose their minds because they don't understand. Like, how can you think that? I thought that wasn't allowed to be on the Internet or wasn't allowed to be wherever I'm going.
I want my things curated just for me. It's uniquely terrible. All right. One last thing I do want to play. And then we'll take another break.
This is Nick Shirley doing a podcast. And he's interviewing the guy who is affectionately known as Big Balls. That is one of the guys who was part of Doge, worked for Elon Musk, had a name. People wound up running with it because some issues jumped in there. But the Daily Caller and others are sharing this, this conversation, because this young man is saying why he likes Donald Trump so much, what he thinks.
President Trump does that's good. And it's pretty mild. It's pretty simple stuff. And I know he got a lot of attacks in social media because anybody that says anything pro-Trump will get attacks from the other side. But I do want to play it because I agree wholeheartedly with him, especially when it comes to the price of pharmaceuticals, the price of drugs in this country.
And Trump has done, President Trump has done even more today in trying to fight those prices. And that's good for everybody. And the left doesn't want to hear it or think about it. But let's play a little bit of. As he's known, big balls in his conversation with Nick Shirley.
The beautiful thing about Trump is he's a deal maker. He is willing to see he's willing to go to war for America. He's willing to go fight the prescription drug companies. Yes. He's willing to go levy tariffs on other countries.
He's willing to go after the fraudsters. He's willing to put in people who are able to get down there on the ground floor like Dr. Oz and his team. They're able to actually go find and detect and sort of stop some of this fraud. Yeah.
And the best thing about those people that he's mentioning there is they're not beholden to anybody. They're not tied to any. The biggest thing about Pam Bondi. Whether you believe it or not, because right now it's just unconfirmed information that is a hypothesis that's out there. You can call it a conspiracy theory if you want, but it's a hypothesis that's out there.
Is maybe she had too many friends. And some of those friends might have been on the Democratic side of the aisle, and some of the things that she didn't do that even President Trump and others would have wanted her to do, she might not have done because of those political friendships. And so that machine can affect a lot of people in a lot of negative ways. And you need outsiders.
So I absolutely agree with him, and I agree with the discussion point about Why is President Trump someone that a lot of people liked and wanted in a position of power in the first place? It's that and his sense of humor. This was from a couple days ago, but President Trump was joking about the No Kings rally. And I Meant to play this yesterday, filling in on the show, but didn't.
So, this is pretty great. This and fighting the bad guys are two things that people like about Trump. I don't care if you think that there's a lot of. Bad guys that he works with and sides with. I'm not going there.
He is willing to fight more bad guys than anybody else in D.C.
So I like that about him, and I think this is pretty great too. They call me king now, do you believe it? No king. I'm such a king I can't get a ballroom approved. It's pretty amazing, man.
I'm a king. If I was a king, We'd be doing a lot more I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king. I find that hilarious. And I think that's probably true of both sides of the aisle, that if any of these people were actually allowed to be king, they would do a lot more of their agenda. Whether it would benefit us or harm us if a Democrat was in power, it'd be terrible for us.
But I find that pretty funny because, yes, he is, in fact, not a king. Those are two reasons people like Trump a lot. They believe that he's willing to fight more of the political machine. Not all of it. I'm not pretending all of it's a thing, but more of it.
Some people probably believe all of it. And then also he's just legitimately funny. All right. Quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

We're taking a closer look at a common form of lung cancer that accounts for 85% of all cases. I'm Janet Freeman Daly. And I've been living with non-small cell lung cancer since 2011. Non-small cell lung cancer. It's a diagnosis that changes everything, and yet the conversation around it too often stops at the biology.
and misses what patients are actually living through every single day. There are some things you used to be able to do that you can't do anymore. It's easy to become depressed when you're dealing with all those losses.
So mental health plays a really big role.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Lots of stuff to talk about. D-Lash, Dana Lash, Radio, and X on Twitter.
A great ways to stay connected to her at Radio Craig Z. If for some reason you feel the need to also follow me. On social media, that'd be great. CNN was stunned by the jobs report that came out. I do like this audio a lot.
And I love that you can tell that they're forcing themselves to say an obviously good thing is in fact a good thing because they really don't want it to be something that's actually true in our society. They don't want anything to go well.
Well, Trump is in the White House, and the problem with that is that they want your life to suck. That's the easy way to say it. Here we go. I mean, the expectation was, what, 60,000 jobs, and it's 178? Wow.
Yeah. Look, the job market bounced back in a big way in March, and that is good news. Really blowing. I love the wow from the first person, and then also the is good news. From the second individual reporting on this, because it's hilarious.
I'll say that differently, what I said a second ago. I've never hated any politician so much that I wanted my life to suck more. I've never. I've never hated anybody. No matter how much I think they shouldn't be in the office, no matter how much I think we made the wrong decision when it's someone like Biden who's in the White House.
I still want my life to be good. And I still want some of the policies to work out. For me and everybody else, not just me, if I wanted just me, I would be a politician myself. If I wanted to favor just this guy, I would go to the White House, I would go to D.C., and I would be as corrupt as a lot of the people in Washington, D.C. are, because darn it, that's the best way to benefit you is to just run for office, I guess.
But if it's not that, then the thing you do is you hope for good stuff. And so I don't know, I've never hated our country. Or any politician so much. I hate a lot of Democratic politicians. I think they're terrible people, but I've never hated someone so much that I wanted my life to be worse.
So I I just never get that. And I've never cheered for a terrorist organization like it seems that some Americans are cheering right now because that would be bad for Trump and also, I don't know, bad for everybody in society that aren't the terrorists. Another thing out there that's just kind of crazy. This is the First Lady of California, Gavin Newsome's wife. talking about the things she does to make sure her sons You know, respect women, care about women.
I don't know what it is. See women as heroes. This is very woke and very crazy. Let's go ahead and hit play them. I've given our boys dolls.
Even if they tear the head off, I've given them dolls to learn that care and caregiving is not just an activity that's reserved for women, but that it's also an activity that is a responsibility of men. What I've done with both my daughters and my sons is if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the he to a she. And it just normalizes for my sons in particular. It's not even, I don't even just do it for my girls. I do it for my sons because I want them to see that women can be the center of a story.
You know, that's really weird about this. I was trying to think about like all the reasons I think this is terrible. And there's a decent amount of them that I think this is terrible. But there are people who you might look up to. You might even consider them heroes in some way, shape, or form that are going to be the opposite sex of you.
There are. Like the Avengers movie, black widows in it. There's other characters that are female characters that are, in fact, heroes. I feel like there's a lot of ways, what I mean to say. There's a lot of ways to find stories you could read to your children where a woman is already the heroine, and you don't need to change a dude to be a chick.
You don't need to do that every time. To be like, and then she did this. You can find something else out there, they do exist. But the other thing I was saying, and I talked about this earlier in the context of uh people who are celebrating the diversity of the Artemis II crew. And even the black NASA pilot who was asked a question about if he was happy to be breaking some sort of barrier.
And his answer, well, he leaned into some of the wokeness of the thing. He did eventually say the part that I agree with: that it shouldn't matter. That he'd like to get to a point in society where nobody asks the black guy sitting on stage if he's proud of being black. Instead of, is he proud of being someone who's going to space like all the other people on the stage are going to space? And he would say yes to that.
I agree with that. I think it's better that way to just focus on the achievement of people and not what they look like. And honestly, like I thought about my own childhood and how growing up I looked up to a lot of people that don't look like me. I'm a white guy. I admired people like Michael Jordan, who is not in fact the same race as me.
Somehow, as a kid, I overcame. Whatever those things are that they tell me are ingrained in me that make me a horrible, racist, terrible person as a white guy.
Somehow, some way I resisted, I guess, to think that Michael Jordan was amazing. But I think that that's true of a lot more kids. I think kids can look up to people that don't look like them because they're children, because that's the way it works. And I did hear from a listener on some of my social media pages, again, at Radio Craig C, that said it might be different for women. Maybe women feel that they need to see female examples in certain fields where they didn't see any female examples before.
And I don't know. I feel like the same is going to be said of somebody who's a minority being like, I need to see somebody doing a thing. I don't know. I don't know what that is, if that's really true or not. I guess it's a choose your own adventure thing.
But that's why I don't care, by the way, if there are female heroines. That's never made me mad. I've never sat in a movie and been like, I'm upset because one of these people is a woman. or whatever it is. I think the only thing that ever gets you uh to remove yourself From some of that stuff that they create in Hollywood now, is if all of a sudden everybody's a woman, there's not a dude to be seen anywhere, all of a sudden you're like, well, wait, huh?
Like, how did this happen? And you can tell it's for woke reasons, not because it actually benefits the plot or the narrative. To have white guys be completely absent from any of these things whatsoever. And I just find that amusing more than anything else because I am still entertained. I'll say that part.
I know that's not aligned with the conservative ideals, but there's a moment in one of the Avengers movies where you can tell that. The people in Hollywood got very full of themselves and needing to make sure that it was a woke movie.
So they have all the female heroines get together. It's like a giant fight. This is a stupid thing to describe, but I can't help it. I'm going to do it because, darn it, we're already here. There's a moment in a giant battle where everybody's fighting.
All the heroes are fighting all the bad guys. And for some reason, somehow, it's just the female heroines that all wind up together marching toward fighting bad guys. And like it's fun, because like it doesn't make sense. It wouldn't naturally occur. There'd be at least one dude since there's a lot of guys fighting that would probably be in that shot.
But I still enjoyed the movie. Like I didn't walk out of that movie being like, and now it was ruined for me.
So I don't know. Like that, that's truthfully the way that I take this stuff is yes, the woke stuff annoys me. Yes, I think it's a bad decision financially for the companies that do it. But also I can get over it. And actually, you know what?
I'll say it a different way. And probably now I'm losing. I apologize if I'm losing the audience. I'm just telling you the truth, darn it. I still watch baseball.
I love baseball. It's my favorite sport. I am a New York Yankee fan. And I have had a ton of arguments somewhat recently.
Well, not really arguments. There's been disagreements. But then also before with other friends of mine about how can you still watch that? They hate you. They don't care about you.
They politically do everything they can to remove you from the fan base of that sport or any sport. And when my friends say that, I don't tell them they're wrong. I do not say that all the wokeness that exists in sports and Hollywood and all these places is inaccurate. It is accurate, and it is annoying. It does annoy the crap out of me, and sometimes it might make me feel like I'm the type of person that should walk away from this stuff.
But do you know why I don't? Because I'd be sadder if I didn't watch baseball. Like, it's a very selfish thing. And so I usually say back to somebody, you know. If I allow their attempt to cultivate a woker audience and not have me in their group of people that watches it, I lose out on the thing that actually makes me happy.
Which is the baseball, especially when Aaron Judge is hitting home runs like he did today. Like, that's the thing that I very much enjoy. And so, why would I do that? Why would I allow anyone for any political reason to dictate my behavior at all? Did I buy Bud Light during the Bud Light controversy?
No, I didn't. And I did do that because I thought that their commercial was stupid and I didn't like the fact that their product was now being aligned with Bud Light. But I also didn't buy Bud Light because there were a bunch of other beers that taste just like it that I was fine with. I was like, this is fine. This is a comparable example or a comparable replacement.
This Mickelo Boltra is going down real smooth. There's no comparable replacement for baseball that would be as good as the current version of MLB baseball.
So, yes, they might do woke things, but I can't replace them with like my beer softball league. It's not going to have the same effect. on my life.
So I don't know. Like that's my that's my reaction to wokeness. That I probably didn't need to describe in great detail on this show, but darn it, I'm doing it, is I will absolutely walk away from products and companies that don't align with my values as long as there's something else out there that's good enough. And if there's nothing else out there that's good enough, and the thing I have to sacrifice will make me sad, well, then I selfishly decide to keep going. And probably that doesn't help them not be woke.
But darn it, it makes me a happier person. And I have to think there's got to be a middle ground for a lot more people to find in which fights are worth fighting.
Now, granted, I will tell you this: COVID was a really different example. There were things that happened during COVID where that fight was absolutely important to our society, more so than important to me individually.
So, yeah, there's things I could have done that would have made my life easier, but I didn't want to do them because it was a ridiculous thing to give in on.
So, there's always a line, there's always a line that shall not be crossed, which makes a lot of what I'm saying a shades of gray kind of discussion. But nonetheless, I was thinking about that a lot today. All right, one last thing I should mention, instead of all the whatever that was that I just did there, all of the ranting, the president of Wisconsin is being asked to, Wisconsin, the president of the University of Wisconsin is being asked to step down because This person is accused of working too nicely with Republicans. That's essentially what it is.
So there's a board. The board wants the person to resign. They hate the guy. And NPR, I think, locally there had done some interviews. And some people went on the record to say, you know, The biggest problem for the individual who's in charge at the Universities of Wisconsin is that he's willing to work with Republicans, not against them.
And that made the board hate him. And now they want him to be fired. They want him to quit. They haven't given him a reason, but they've essentially demanded that he step down. I think that's amazing.
Because this person who's in charge at the Universities of Wisconsin isn't actually a Republican or a right-leaning person. He still does a lot of woke stuff. But they're eating their own because they don't think he's woke enough.
So I guess this kind of goes back to the conversation I'm talking about with baseball or anything else. You know, like eating my own never really seems like the right approach to how I go about a lot of this. It certainly doesn't seem like the right approach here. And this guy is being attacked from all sides because he was willing to compromise on stuff. And that was not acceptable, darn it.
So that story's crazy, too. All right, we'll take a break. I'll keep telling the world how much I enjoy baseball and not worrying about that. Quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.
You know how most makeup makes you look done, but not necessarily like yourself? I get so tired of products that cover everything up and they leave product on my skin and it makes it dry and cakey and makes you feel like you're wearing a mask.
So that's why I tried Jones Road Beauty's Miracle Bomb. You just warm up a small amount of product with your fingertips. You tap it on your cheeks, on your lips. You can even put a little bit on your eyelids if you want for some color. And it gives you.
This effortless clean girl glow instead of that heavy makeup mask, and it can also replace so many steps and products. Like, think of it: highlighter, bronzer, blush, your lip tint, but it's all in one little jar. No brushes, no 20 frillion step routine. I mean, it's great for busy mornings or school drop-off or travel if you got like an early morning flight and you want to look nice but not overdone, or when you're running around after a workout and you just you know want to look fresh.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. I feel like I might have played this yesterday filling in on this show, but let's do it again.
Artemis 2 launched into space, and then an idiot on Sky News said that he was happy about the fact that it wasn't all white dudes because, darn it, white dudes don't count for some reason in our society. Here's the actual clip of audio of the idiot on Sky News saying somehow this is better. Yeah, and they are going for all humanity this time, you know? Apollo was all white men. And this time it's not.
And I think that really speaks volumes for the journey that NASA has been on. And this is a much more representative crew. And you can feel them. I'm already good. This is so stupid.
I love that. Like, last time they didn't go for everybody, even though they went with an American flag, and it seemed like it was for everybody because they can't, because they're white guys. And I am a white man.
So I guess I'm the devil. I don't know what I am. But here is the black NASA pilot, Victor Glover, being asked a question about making history. And the NASA pilot of the Artemis II is like, I don't care. This is a great answer to this question.
When other people infuse race into everything, The right answer for the people who are in these moments where they're doing the stuff. That everyone else is creating a narrative around. The people doing the thing can tell us how they actually feel. And it don't matter. I'm just here to do my job like everybody else, and I don't care what anyone looks like.
Is a great answer, and basically, what he said. Here we go. It is a big question and I want to highlight, I guess, maybe one facet of this is the tension I call it. I live in this, you know, this dichotomy between happiness that a young woman can look at Christina and just physicalize her passion or her interests, or even if it's not something she wants to do, she can just be like, girl, power, and that's awesome. And that young brown boys and girls can look at me and go, hey, he looks like me and he's doing what?
And that's great. I love that. But I also hope we are pushing the other direction that one day we don't have to talk about these first, that one day this is just. And I think this is the human history. It's about human history.
It's the story of humanity, not black history, not women's history, but that it becomes human history. Yes, I agree with that part. I know that he gave the PC version of the answer at first there, but it's the last part that I really like that it is, because that's what this is. This is human history. We are all, in fact, human, and it doesn't matter.
I don't care if the next flight is all white guys. I don't care. I hope that the best people are on each mission, no matter who they are. I don't care if it's all women. I don't care if it's all minorities.
Like, it doesn't matter to me. I love that people pretend as though the stance that it should just be the best people is somehow inherently racist. Because I'm not telling you who the best people are or what they look like. And I know they're not going to be the best because of the color of their skin or because of their sex. I know they're the best because they're supposed to be, if they're attested appropriately, the best people for the job.
That's the thing I want. That's the thing everyone wants in our society. We don't want anything else. And the people who call for that, I think, are incredibly dumb. And so I like the end part there.
I don't like the beginning, you know, although I will say it this way. And this might be overly woke of me filling in on Dana's show to say it.
So don't shoot the messenger or don't shoot Dana for this. This is all the idiot who's on the air for her right now thing. It's fine. that people wanna say that in order to admire someone, the person that the kid looks up to has to look like you. It's fine.
When people say that, my I don't usually like explode in my mind in reaction to it. It's not that I actually totally agree with it, though. This is something I do want to say about it. Because every time I hear someone say, you know, little girls will look up to me because I'm a woman, or black kids will look up to me because I'm a black man or a black woman, I think about my own childhood. And as a white kid, I looked up to a bunch of athletes who were all black guys, and I never once thought about it.
Like when I thought Michael Jordan was the best human being in the history of the world, and actually I remember I must have been like 12. And I had a long argument with an aunt of mine as to whether or not Michael Jordan would have cheated on his wife. And I was convinced that he was the best human being in the history of the world. Like, I really was, not just the best basketball player, but just incapable of making any mistake at all. And so I remember, I was like mad that she was telling me that she thought that some rumor that was out there in the world might be true.
And I was like, not Michael Jordan. How dare you? And all the other people, like Tiger Woods, I mentioned earlier, was another hero of mine at some point in my life. Not once did it ever enter into my brain to think if the person looked like me. I just didn't care.
These were people that were successful, and I wanted to be successful, and I wanted to be as good as them. And I wore my Michael Jordan jersey and my Jordan shoes that I was happy to get for like my 10th Christmas or something. I wore those all the time. And so it's always the kind of thing when I hear someone say it, and I don't mean to belabor this point, I just can't help it, where like part of me goes, fine, whatever. If you think that a young black kid needs to see a black person in order to think of themselves as capable.
of reaching whatever the height is of the person they admire, fine, you think that. I just don't think it's true for everybody. And I do think based on whatever generation you are, there's a pretty significant chance that a lot of people of younger generations Don't really see race that much. I'm not trying to blame anybody for anything. I'm just saying that, like, when I was going to school, no matter how much indoctrination I faced in school, which happened a lot, I was also beaten over the head with how bad racism was, which was a good thing.
I'm not saying that's bad. I remember a whole lot of classes about how terrible and awful society was and how racist, you know, white men or just white people were at some point. And so, my entire life, I grew up being like, well, that was bad. We shouldn't do that. And so, at no point in my life, have I ever reflected the values that I was told at one point existed in our society?
And that doesn't matter to liberal people. They'll yell and scream that I have to be racist because I'm a white guy. Like, I have to be. It's got to be in there. Actually, I feel like I'm just going to keep going on this topic and then I'll change it.
I feel like I've told this story before in this show, but I really like this. And it's weird because probably the point of this story is I'm not a racist. But it should be something else. I was standing in Chicago at a bus stop, and a black dude was kind of acting strange. He was like getting people's faces and doing typical stuff.
He wasn't saying anything. He was just being like oddly close to everybody around him. And I think it was a lot of white people. I to be honest, now I kind of remember it that way, but maybe that's not true. And I remember out of all the people that this guy interacted with, I was the only one that didn't move.
I just stood there. I didn't stand there mad at him or angry. I was just like, all right, this dude's invading my space for a little bit. It's fine. We'll get on the train.
We'll get on the bus and it'll all be over. And I remember as soon as I didn't move, he looked up at me and he goes, you're a good dude. You're a good guy. He was just testing people to see if a reaction of a black man being in the face of a white guy without saying anything would make the white guy react. And the fact that I didn't react was somehow I was a good person.
And I remember always thinking how terrible that is. That human being goes out into the world and thinks that they have the chip on their shoulder of thinking they need to test other people and see who does or doesn't react is something that honestly. Like you should react to, you shouldn't let somebody walk that close to your, no matter who they are, no matter what they look like. You shouldn't let someone walk that close to you that's a total stranger. And yet, I just didn't care.
I was just more focused on the fact that I was waiting for the bus. And so it was such a weird moment, but I think that, and that was years ago, I think that there's so much of that in society now, so much assumed bad behavior, assumed that you're a jerk for this or that or you're a racist or a sexist or something, and then they try to test you to prove it. And you have to pass every single test. Because if at some point you do anything, even if you have a totally different reason to react, like all the other people at that bus stop who did move out of the way of the guy, they didn't like yell at him or scream at him or try to fight him, they just physically moved when he got in their face. Um those people I think probably reacted just because it was a person they didn't know getting too close to them.
But darn it, who cares? We don't need to give people that benefit of the doubt anymore. All right, I should move on. I want to play one other thing. I thought this was interesting.
Chuck Schumer did an interview on CNN. He was asked a somewhat difficult question. It's still CNN, it's not difficult enough. But it I thought it was interesting that the question was Why did you guys shut down the government if none of the stuff you wanted happened? And Schumer might not have noticed, but he did admit that Democrats shut down the government.
He said, We did hold stuff up, but we were fighting for this or that. Like, he didn't like. That the question was, you failed, and maybe he didn't notice that the question also included, you did this, because a lot of Democrats would deny they were the ones who shut anything down. What do you say to those critics who argue that both ICE and Border Patrol are already set with funding millions and millions of dollars because of President Trump's so-called big beautiful bill that passed months ago?
So Democrats just held up this legislation for what? For political posturing, is that right?
Well, that's not fair at all. We held it up because we wanted, as I mentioned before, to reform ICE and CPB, which are lawless. The American people are totally on our side. I think by two to one or close to that, they want it reformed. And that's what we're pushing for.
We're not going to fund a lawless ICE and a CPB. And the American people are overwhelmed. By the way, I'll pause it right there. I would have immediately reacted to the thing he was saying when I was like, you did shut it down, though, sir? You said that it was you.
It was you guys. Democrats just held up this legislation for what? For political posturing, is that right?
Well, that's not fair at all. We held it up because we wanted, as I mentioned before, to reform ICE. And by the way, saying that you wanted to reform Border Patrol also matters to me because I do think you want to swing that border door wide open again. And that's one of the reasons that House Republicans rejected the heck out of that because it was a terrible, terrible bill. All right, quick break.

And Janet Freeman Daly. And I've been living with non-small cell lung cancer since 2011. Non-small cell lung cancer. It's a diagnosis that changes everything, and yet the conversation around it too often stops at the biology. and misses what patients are actually living through every single day.
There are some things you used to be able to do that you can't do anymore. It's easy to become depressed when you're dealing with all those losses.
So mental health plays a really big role.
So, what does it really mean to advocate for yourself when you're living with non-small cell lung cancer?

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. President Trump has hit pharmaceutical drug manufacturers with brand new tariffs for drug makers, sending stuff into our country.
This is good. Any fight on drug makers and the ridiculous prices we pay for the stuff that they create is good. I'm sure that people will say, no, for this reason, that reason, tariffs are a tax on us, the prices will go up. Whatever. They've been working so far.
It seems that every time we do these tariff fights, that inevitably a deal comes in that eventually benefits us. The Trump uses the leverage of tariffs to do other things.
So I'm going to hope that it works again. I'm going to be decidedly in the camp of let's go ahead and do this and hope for the best as opposed to the opposite. Another thing out there. Secretary of War. which is the sweetest name for a job I've ever heard in my life.
And now I want to be that. I've never wanted to be a politician in any way whatsoever, except for when they created the Department of War, which is what it used to be, of course. I would like to be the Secretary of War at some point. I don't know when. I don't have the credentials for it, so I'm not sure if it'll ever happen.
But I'm just putting it out there into the world. And if anybody ever gives me any sort of gig in politics, I want it to be that one. Pete Hagseth, lucky, he has my dream job. He also decided that he doesn't want servicemen and women to be vulnerable. This is one of the stupider rules that had existed in our society.
And I'm glad that Pete Hagseth has done away with it because servicemen and women are to be trusted. That is one of the things about them that I think is just inherently a part of the gig. And so telling them they can't have guns and needing gun-free zones with those individuals involved, it made absolutely no sense. And so it ends. It ends now, and it'll be better for everybody.
Here's Pete Hagseth talking about that. Our Great Republic was founded on a simple yet bold idea. Our rights as citizens are not granted to us by government. But instead By God. 250 years ago, the Revolutionary War was fought to secure our God-given rights.
The Second Amendment to our Constitution enshrines the right of all citizens. to carry weapons to protect themselves. Yeah. And their fellow countrymen. The War Department's uniformed service members are trained at the highest and unwavering standards.
These warfighters, entrusted with the safety of our nation, are no less entitled. to exercise their God-given right. to keep and bear arms than any other American. You know what's crazy about this to me is that he actually has to make this argument. Like, they're well trained.
They're tasked with defending our country from any sort of foreign or domestic threat. Like, these individuals are absolutely people that deserve to carry a gun around wherever they go. Our warfighters defend the right of others. to Carrie. they should be able to carry themselves.
Recent events like what happened at Fort Stewart. Holloman Air Force Base or Pensacola Naval Air Station have made clear. that some threats are closer to home than we would like. In these instances, minutes are a lifetime. And our service members have the courage and training to make those precious short minutes count.
Before today, it was virtually impossible. Most people probably don't know this. It was virtually impossible for War Department personnel. to get permission to carry and store their own personal weapons, Align with the state laws where we operate our installations.
So stupid.
So very stupid.
So we did away with it. That's the end of that audio. It's great. And I think it's a very good decision. You know what's interesting about this?
I've had a conversation with a few coworkers of mine who are veterans about how I'd like to secure schools. And it's not a new idea. You've heard it before, but it's absolutely the one I think of all the time. Put vets outside of every school with guns. I wouldn't go anywhere near any of those schools if veterans were defending them.
I don't know why we don't do that. And I'm sure a bunch of people yell all kinds of crazy stuff. as to why you don't do that, but it would be resoundingly effective. And I think you're wrong for anything you say. And of course, there's.
Certain things you'd have to go through in order to make sure that you were capable, stable, all of that to protect our schools. But why not do that? There's a lot of veterans that are looking for gigs. There's a lot of soft targets in our society that need to not be so soft. Schools definitely among them.
So two veterans, front door, every school, guns, boom, game over. That's my belief. And I'll always think that. And no matter how much people tell me that that's whoever it is, and it's mostly morons on the left who tell me that that's wrong, they're not right. That's how I feel.
And I'd like to see it done and tried more places because I think it would go quite well. But essentially, Pete Hagseth is saying that if you're part of the Department of War, You get to walk around with a gun because not having one makes absolutely no sense and it's not good for you or anyone else in our society. I know that I'd feel safer if I was around a bunch of people that work for the Department of War, if they could also defend me if someone goes crazy. But I can defend myself, I also carry a gun. Especially now that I live in Texas, the free and lovely state of Texas is so great for that.
All right, Blake Lively's sexual harassment claims. Yeah. I know this isn't a big story. It's not a political story, but I've been fascinated by this for a while. There's still a robust case that remains, according to a couple of different sources out there.
Her and Justin Baldani are still fighting each other in every way, shape, or form in courtrooms. And yet there's something about that story. And Johnny Depp was probably like this too when he's testifying, and people wound up paying more attention than they should because of a knee-jerk reaction in society to just blame the guy. Like, that's a thing that happens very often. People are like, oh, the guy's probably at fault.
He's a terrible person. And then more and more information comes out, and you realize that some people, not all people, Some people use that system to their benefit like anything else in society. If I told you from a little age that you were believed no matter what, and I don't care why I told you that, if 'cause you're a girl or a boy or a minority or whatever it might be, if I just looked at you from when you were young and said, We believe you no matter what, we'll never question you, you're eventually going to tell a whole bunch of lies to me. And to be honest, the other thing I think about And this is macro and probably a a silly comparison, but I I can't help but make it. Every time I think about politicians who are given the benefit of the doubt, from our mainstream left-leaning media, they're begging them to do worse stuff.
Like the less you hold people's feet to the fire, the more likely they're going to do more terrible things. And I think there's shades of that in the Blake Lively story. Where she may have been the type of person. That just assumed whatever she said, whoever she turned against, whatever target she had for being a bad person, that we'd all just go with it. Because Baldani put out a bunch of stuff that seemed to disprove.
A lot of the things that Blake Lively said. Does that mean that he was a saint? No. Who knows? Both of them could have done a lot of terrible things to each other.
And I bet you they did that not because of the sex of the individual, but because they both thought that they were the biggest person on a movie set. Blake Lively was certainly the bigger name as far as fame goes. She was an actress. He was the actor/slash director of a movie. And I bet you both of them, with their ego based on their level of fame and/or professional success, just thought they should be the person calling all the shots.
And that always ends poorly. I don't care if it's a man and a woman, two dudes. I don't care what you look like. If you think that you're more important than someone else and they tell you what to do, you don't like it. A lot of people struggle with that dynamic of but.
But I think I'm more important than this, so I'm not gonna listen to you because you're not as important as me. And that's a problem in a lot of places, I think, that causes these fights.
So, the funniest thing. This is the last thing I'll say about this, and then I will move on. The funniest thing to me about the Justin Baldani and Blake Lively story is that if you removed the sex of the two people, And tried to read any of the back and forth crap that was going on. If you just pretended, because apparently our society needs this, to not think one was a woman and one was a guy, but who knows? Like they're both, I guess, ambiguous nothing, which a lot of our society is saying most people are anyway now.
I hate encouraging it. That's terrible. But anyway, if you just did that. I think that a lot of the left-leaning people who are immediately defending Blake Lively would all of a sudden be like, wait a minute. Yeah, it doesn't sound like any of this is rooted in a sexist behavior.
It seems like it's two egos fought. fighting for control. And both of those egos were upset when they lost any kind of fight. And I'll tell you something else about that, actually. I've been in those scenarios before.
Where I've been working certain places in media. It's always other guys, by the way. I've never actually had this level of a conflict, I think, with a female coworker of any kind, which is odd. You'd think at some point, but no.
Somebody somewhere who doesn't like you're standing in a room because they don't think you're big enough to be in that room, or they don't think you're important enough to have this opinion, or do whatever it is you're doing. And my favorite part about that is people whose egos drives all of their behavior, and there are definitely a bunch of people out there, it doesn't even really matter to them. Like sometimes the thing they're interfering with They're not even involved in.
So it's sort of like you're standing there on the periphery, and they might be more important than you, and they might be capable of screwing with you and messing whatever you have going on up in your life. And part of you thinks to yourself, like, why? Like that's usually the reaction I most have sometimes to those moments, especially when they've involved me, but when they've involved somebody else and I've seen it from the outside, is sometimes you say to yourself, like, why are you messing with this person? Why are you like, you have your own thing. Your own thing's going well.
You're successful. There's nothing about what they're doing that's impacting you.
So why screw with them? And the only thing I've ever come up with as an answer to that is ego. And so I think when you look at the Blake Lively Justin Baldani thing, part of it was she didn't like that he was the director of the movie that she was in. Because she kind of wanted to be the director of the movie because they were both acting in it, and she kind of thought, eh, I'm more famous than you. Maybe I should be calling these shots.
And I think that was the beginning of all the fighting. And so, again, I just say that from my own personal experience, and I imagine a lot of other people out there who've fought with a coworker. Whether that person was more powerful than you or just better connected than you, whatever it might be. And sometimes I guess a lot of people, I'm assuming, have thought, like me, why are we even fighting? Like, why is there even conflict between us?
We can both exist on our own without any need to conflict on anything, and yet one person seems to not be able to handle that. And it's not me, by the way. I'm trying to excuse myself, I guess, of any behavior. I'm usually a person who's just fine existing on my own. I'll do my own thing on my own.
I try to succeed on my own. I won't get in anybody else's way. And, you know, you live your life, I'll live mine. I think that's a very conservative thing, actually. I think a lot of conservatives are totally fine with.
Whatever you're doing behind closed doors in your house is fine with you. I'll go ahead and do whatever I want in my house. And then when you get mad at me, For how I behave on my own, that's when we seem like we have a problem. And it seems like it's a you thing and not a me thing. All right, that's my take on the Blake Lively stuff, and it's interesting that some of it has been thrown out.
Because the courts are acknowledging that some of this is just like crazy and infighting and not. Not really stuff that they deserve to see, but other stuff they're actually still going forward with.
So I will see how the inevitable end result of that case is. It's crazy, they're still fighting it. That's been going on for like two plus years that most people aren't even paying attention anymore, but they're still battling it out in courtrooms. All right, quick break, a little bit more.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Vive. That's right. It's time for a quick five on the Dana Show. D Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X, on Twitter.
Great ways to stay connected to her. Dino chicken nuggets sold in Walmart may contain lead. This is according to federal officials. That seems bad. It seems like the chicken nuggets probably shouldn't have lead in them.
I don't know how that stuff happens all the time. And often I don't know why it winds up being like kids' food that seems to disproportionately get some of this stuff in it. Although, you know what? I feel like I've already been a child once today, mentioning my mother text me when I do radio as a 40-year-old man. I also still eat chicken nuggets.
And at times, they might be of the dino variety. I don't do that on purpose, by the way. I don't prefer to buy a dino nugget. I only buy it when it's the cheapest option in the store, and I still want chicken nuggets. And I think my wife makes fun of me every time I do it.
Every time that I purchase that, but I'm like, Betty, it's $4 less expensive per bag than the regular chicken nuggets. And to be honest, prices are terrible. I'd buy any form. I think at least one time we've had Spongebob chicken nuggets in this house, and there are no children in here. It just was the cheapest option.
I saw other things out there. Tiger Woods told deputies he was talking to the president. During some of the body cam video that's out there, that's probably not going to be a great look for Taig. I don't know that it'll matter much for President Trump. But it seems like you were trying to get out of your problem, out of your arrest and everything going on by name-dropping the President of the United States.
And obviously, that didn't really seem to matter. I feel terrible for Tiger Woods. I don't know how to say that differently. Like, I don't want him to hurt anybody. I think we played Stephen A.
Smith audio on this show the other day, or maybe that was somewhere else actually, where Stephen A. Smith is saying the tiger can afford his own car service. Of course, he can. He's a billionaire. He should probably start doing that, probably start buying a car service and not driving around because he's doing something reckless that can hurt a lot of people.
So I don't have sympathy for the behavior. I just am sad for Tiger more generally because of how much I enjoyed watching him play golf. He is a uniquely good, or at least at one point in his life, a uniquely good golfer. And there was something really cool. Most of my golf memories as a kid are Tiger Woods.
And so I guess that's really all it is in hoping that things get better for him, not worse. It seems like it's a lot of pharmaceutical mistakes that he's making, not alcohol, not, you know, illegal drugs. It seems like it's legal drugs, pain medicine, and other things that might be causing him to be incapable of being behind the wheel of a car, even though he's behind the wheel of a car. A 2,500-year-old golden helmet was stolen in a museum last year. It has now been recovered.
This feels like the kind of story that when I see it, I assume somebody was drunk. Although it's actually a priceless artifact.
So maybe this is more of an Oceans 15. I don't know what the next movie in the list is gonna be, sort of like thing. But they finally recovered it.
So that's nice that a 2,500-year-old golden helmet couldn't stay gone forever. I always wonder, and this I think used to come up in the Oceans movies and other stuff, they joke about it. Like, how do you move it? How do you sell something like this if you steal it? How do you convince somebody else to buy it?
And then do they display it somewhere? Because a lot of people are going to know it's probably the stolen one. It's not like there's a lot of other golden helmets out there that aren't the stolen variety ones. It's only a one-off kind of thing. You know, I don't think you can get a bunch of them.
I think it's, hey, is that the stolen golden helmet or just some other one that you have out there to say the very least? I don't know. But I thought that was pretty funny too. One last story for the quick five, and then we'll take a break. But I thought this was also interesting.
A 911 call reveals Bob's Burgers actor Eugene Merman has a condition after being pulled from a fiery crash. Oh, they, excuse me, revealed his condition after being pulled from a fiery crash. It seems as though he is okay, I believe. He is the Bob's Burgers actor. He was incoherent in a horrifying 9-1-1 call, and he struck another vehicle, but the individual is alive.
So that's pretty good. Good news considering how bad of a story that seemed to be. But all right, we'll take a break. We have a lot coming up on the show. Thrilled to be filling in for Dana.
This is the Craig Collins filling in the Dana show, D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio, and X and Twitter. Stay tuned. More coming up in a bit. As we roll towards Today in Stupidity, our partners that help bring you the program, it's our friends over at Burna Gun. You guys are familiar with Burna.
You've heard me talk about them before. I always carry. You know, sometimes you're barred from exercising your Second Amendment right by municipal private property restrictions. And of course, it's interesting, none of those entities ever actually provide armed security. They just want you to risk it for the biscuit.
Burna CL, compact launcher, most compact one they have. They have different models. This is the one you need to look at for this purpose. If you're wanting to protect yourself, but you're not allowed because of those restrictions, check out the Burna. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away.
Compared to like stun guns, et cetera, one or two rounds, the Berna CL has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. And you have different accessories, different carriers for it. There's no recoil, easy reacquisition of target, very easy to use. But here's the big thing: it doesn't care about gun-free zone signs because it's not a gun.
So, none of that matters, right? Not a gun. There's no background checks, there's no waiting periods. You literally buy it online and they send it to your door. That's it.
And this is a great option for college kids too who are living away from home, going to school, but they need to be able to protect themselves, but they're not age 21 yet.

This week on a special episode of Health Discovered. We're taking a closer look at a common form of lung cancer that accounts for 85% of all cases. And Janet Freeman Daly. And I've been living with non-small cell lung cancer since 2011. Non-small cell lung cancer.
It's a diagnosis that changes everything, and yet the conversation around it too often stops at the biology. and misses what patients are actually living through every single day. There are some things you used to be able to do that you can't do anymore. It's easy to become depressed when you're dealing with all those losses.
So mental health plays a really big role.
So, what does it really mean to advocate for yourself when you're living with non-small cell lung cancer?

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Just a little time left before we are out of here. A couple quick things.
One that I thought was pretty interesting. Yet another study says a four-day workweek is better than a five-day work week. The study found that people who work about 33 hours a week I did the same amount of work as people who work 38 hours a week. I thought that this was sort of hilarious, and here's why. Any study that looks into this, the people who are doing the four-day workweek thing, it's relatively new to their office.
They're studying something that people haven't been doing for years because nobody really gets a four-day workweek anywhere here in this country. And so, my contention of any of these studies has always been they're trying hard right now because they know the thing they're getting is special and they assume it can be taken away. It is a motivational thing. for people to be like, I want this to keep going. I like having an extra day off.
So I'm going to work real hard. If it became the norm. If we all started working four-day work weeks consistently, I promise you people would stop doing the same amount of work as they do in a five-day workweek because they'd still slack off the same as they do now because it wouldn't be special anymore. The nuance of it, the aspects of it that make you think that it might be temporary would all fade, just like working from home. I remember all the studies that said early on working from home was really great and it was basically the same and nobody noticed any difference.
And then as we went more and more, people and companies started to find that for some reason Productivity was tricking down and eventually trickling down. And eventually, you weren't getting the amount of work you'd get if someone was there and someone was watching them at work. And so eventually, companies told people they had to come back to work because everything goes well at the beginning. That's probably not a rule. I shouldn't say that like that.
In these sort of situations, it doesn't go well forever. Another story out there I saw, Target is apparently very upset about a stricter dress code at that place. The employees are trying to fight it. They're mad that the red shirts or pants and things are more specific than they were in the past. I find this to be hilarious because my response.
to a dress code and an employer that I had that I didn't like would be to quit. You don't get to stay at the job and tell the employer how to handle their company. That's not a thing. And so the amount of employees who are mad and think they're going to win this fight is uniquely sort of stupid to me. And I hope they don't.
I hope Target stands firm because they have every right to control anything they want. As far as their company goes. And one last story, this one's weird. It was viral on social media, and I found a story on the New York Post. about it.
Uh but social media is debating the quote naked mom theory. This is the belief that some families, especially some parents and families, Don't really hide if they're naked in their house from their kids. They essentially just behave the same. And I think that that's horrible. I think that is very weird.
I'm in the weird camp, not the other camp. And the only thing I was thinking about when I saw this topic was in my own life, this is kind of funny. I don't have any kids. It's just my wife and I. And I am the more naked.
I shouldn't be admitting this on the radio, but I am, of the two people in my home. I'm not as ashamed about it as the misses sometimes can be. And so like, you know, occasionally hop out of the shower before you put the clothes on. You might walk through the house naked. It's never been a problem for me.
It's one of my wife's favorite things to joke with her mom about. I don't know why. My wife is from Mexico. She talks to her mom about once a week in Spanish. And if I ever do anything.
If naked Craig makes some sort of appearance in our home, it is the funniest thing. Like they both talk about it, and it's somewhat embarrassing for me, I guess. I would not be embarrassing enough to stop, I guess, but I find that so funny. And I can hear her mom barreled over laughing at whatever the new thing is that Craig did while naked. Like maybe I took a pizza out of the oven because it was about to burn before I threw the clothes on after the shower.
It had to happen, man. I had to take the risk because I wanted the pizza. But anyway, that's the closest I've ever gotten to the crazy people online who are saying their parents walk around them naked, which is just gross. That's weird. I don't think there's any reason to do that.
And if I had kids, my life would have changed. I wouldn't have behaved the way I do now, but we don't. For whatever reason, it's just me and the missus. And so, boom, there you go. All right, that's it.
