The Lies Continue From You Know Who...

In football, you've got guys from everywhere. Different backgrounds, different beliefs, all of it. You don't agree on everything. but you got each other's backs. That's how it works.

And right now, off the field, hate's going up everywhere. Different communities, different ways. And Jewish communities are getting hit hard. That's not how a team operates. The blue square is just one way of showing you've got people's backs.

Go to bluesquarealliance.org, grab one, share it, be a good teammate. This is the Dana show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Dana will be back in a couple of days.

Follow her at X, D Lash or Dana Lash Radio on X, on Twitter, for those who still call it that, or anywhere else that she has social media stuff out there because she's awesome. I actually follow her TikTok now. I don't use TikTok a whole lot. I'm a 40-year-old man, but I got to say, they're doing some great stuff even on that platform. And I even get little updates on my phone.

I see what Dana said about this and they're great videos.

So, her whole team, producer Steven, and everybody, is just crushing it there.

So, check it out. All right, let's play some audio. The first one is a CNN panel who found out that the Tennessee redistricting that occurred will actually be giving a political position to a black woman. She's a Republican, so CNN doesn't like that, but she is a black woman, and CNN is used to liking that. It will actually take the position away from someone that they typically hate, a white person.

So what I think is kind of funny about this is that there's an assumption that some old white man will be coming out of nowhere. And not that that's a bad thing, by the way, I'm a white dude, but some old white guy will come out of nowhere and do something that Democrats can blame as somehow bad in our society. And in this case, it just so happens that all of the race baiting and things that they do don't work as well. It actually went so poorly during the discussion on CNN that they had to take a break. Here's part of that audio.

So the woman now who is likely going to win the 9th district in Tennessee is a black Republican woman as a result of this redistricting effort. It's likely going to be a black Republican woman who beats that old white. Man, could I make this very simple? Is that for us? It actually is.

We're going to take a quick break and then Tesla and Congressman, I'm going to have you both respond. We're going to come back. We got to really suss this out as much as we can, how we're upset about this, because usually this is the way we want to talk about stuff. We don't even want to bring up politics or political positions or use our brains to have discussions. We want it to all be about emotions and what people look like.

And in this case, it's not going to work that well.

So now our arguments are gone. That's why they took that commercial. Actually, Fox News also had a great clip talking about the redistricting in Tennessee, where one of their liberal guests said that the problem here, and I think this was on the Will Kane show, is that they're erasing a, quote, black district. And another person on the show, a black woman, Had a problem with that idea.

Okay. And we discounted that statement. And now here we are seeing a black man in Tennessee fight to keep the only black district that they have there being totally erased off the map. And I just think, you know, there needs to be more, you know, those conversations need to be tied together. There's no such thing as a black district or a white district.

It's an American district. You know, people. Again, we vote based on our values, not the color of our skin. At least we shouldn't. Yeah, the only thing I would say in response to her answer to that question is I think the assumption by Democrats is that a whole lot of people actually do vote based on how people look.

and not what people think and believe. And actually, that's the biggest argument that some make as to why Kamala Harris lost. the election in 2024. Not that she was a terrible, awful candidate who had to recreate her position on a lot of topics because audio of her when she's running in California demonstrated how crazy to the left she was or how often she would get into these weird cycle cyclical conversations where she made no point whatsoever. Like she was terrible at the fake answer, which is, I think, a very important part of being a politician.

You got to be good at the non-answer answer. And then she was also terrible at having to correct a lot of her previous positions on stuff. But that didn't matter. According to many people, she lost because she was just a black woman and black women can't get elected to things, even if a black woman's actually about to win a seat in Tennessee because of a redistricting effort there. I mean, shocking that that could actually happen.

All right, there's another piece of viral audio. That I saw, and I did want to discuss. Tucker Carlson, who I know that Dana talks about occasionally on the show, has. Profoundly changed his position on a lot of, like, almost Kamala Harris-esque, and wants to pretend as though he's not. Changing a lot of these positions.

So, there's a piece of audio that's gone viral in a discussion between Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly, a person who's also done this, a part of the new Reich, as Dana calls it, which is such a great nickname for those people. But anyway, both of them are sounding very reasonable to an extent, while also describing how bad it is that President Trump has now turned toward the pundits who are seeming to support him and the ongoing conflict in Iran and turn away from them, people like Tucker and Megan, who also both said horrible things about the president recently. Like, it's so funny when people behave as though they're the better pick for influence within a political side of the aisle, a political movement, the better people to pay attention to if you're a MAGA supporter. And then they crap all over the guy at the top of that totem pole and assume their audience won't maybe go away because of that. But I do want to play this because I thought it was interesting.

That Tucker is claiming that he told President Trump to his face, that a lot of the people he's working with right now hate him, despise him. Tucker has a problem with the truth recently that I'll play as well. And I actually say this too: I like Tucker at times. This is not someone that I've hated secretly, and now I'm thrilled that people are turning on him. I actually liked him quite a bit for a while there.

It's just odd, some of the most recent positions he's taken on stuff. Um because it just seems to be that he's playing a different game now. And the game is he knows on the internet, his audience is quite a bit younger. And quite a bit more likely to not like Trump, to not agree with the things Trump is doing, and to also probably be Democrats. And it seems that he's trying to reinvent himself as someone who would be appealing to those viewers, those social media consumers, because he's right now a social media celebrity and not a person on mainstream television or even a cable outlet like Fox, where his audience might be different.

He's tailoring his content. To be financially successful, as many people do. And that's not a good thing. But here he is with Megan Kelly talking about what he told Trump. And then I'll play the thing that you've probably heard before that proves that on a trustworthy scale, Tucker's not exactly there right now.

I said, look, Netanyahu hates you, you know that. They don't like each other at all. The people pushing you. Toward this would include Rupert Murdoch, who despises you. Trump knows that, of course.

Mark Thiessen has always hated you. Ben Shapiro, they hate you. Mark Levin hates you, has always hated you. Yes. The people pushing you to, I said this right to his face.

The people pushing you to do this want to destroy you. And they're doing it on behalf of Israel, whose goals include getting the United States out of the Middle East. They don't want the U.S. in the Gulf because it strengthens the friendships there. They don't like our friendships there at all because Qatar and UAE and Saudi, but also Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait, but those mainly those three countries are a massive rival to regional hegemony.

You can't run the Middle East with strong Gulf states. And so they want the US out. Israel wants the U.S. out of the Middle East and they want to degrade those Gulf states. And I said that right to his face.

And he said, Yeah, I know.

So that's the claim that Tucker Carlson not only walked through his version of all of that with all these people that Trump is currently working with, whether it's Benjamin Netanyahu or some of the other political pundits like Aben Shapiro or Mark Levin, and how much he says that these people actually hate him.

Now, Tucker Carlson has his own issues with text messages and other things that were outed during the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News that seem to show that Tucker also hated President Trump. There's a lot of people, I think. in the world of conservative pundits, not people who vote, not people who are just political voters on the right, whether they call themselves MAGA or not, but these are the people that think a lot of themselves, the people who are influential, or at least to a degree might believe themselves to be. And I think a lot of them don't like the idea that they're less influential than Trump. And I think this is the attempt, whether it's Megan Kelly or Tucker Carlson.

There's a lot of people who are trying to be the it person within the political right, to be the person that people come to and the person that creates certain positions that everybody else winds up using as talking points. They want to be the generator of the hive mind that they want to be on a side of the political aisle, and they're not. The person who generates talking points for conservatives for that side of the aisle is Trump. You saw it in Indiana when they didn't do what he wanted to do and a whole bunch of politicians lost their seats. They were outvoted by other politicians, other Republicans that are going to do what Trump wants.

But here, I'll just play this. I know you've probably heard it, Tucker lying about not calling Trump the Antichrist when that is something he has done recently, which makes you think that whenever it was that Tucker was talking to Megan Kelly and said that he told Trump that these people hate him and he's listening. to them. That it seems that Tucker might also hate him. What I was saying, which is, you cannot mock.

other people's gods. and put yourself in their place. Period. That is a deal killer for me. That's worse than the war with Iran, in my opinion.

Yeah. But I ask because, you know, you've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist. I have not said that. On your show, the day after Easter, you noted he did not put his hand on the Bible during his swearing-in ceremony as president. You said, and I'm quoting, maybe he didn't put his hand on the Bible because he affirmatively rejects what's inside that book.

And then on a recent show, you went further saying, here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the god of gods and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist? Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors. Mocking the God of gods.

and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? That That nice. That's not a great look. They play the audio.

This is the New York Times actually that did this of him doing the interview and then him rejecting the thing that she claimed he said and then him saying it word for word. And it's not AI, it's not a fake thing. As I said, I'm sure you've heard it before because it's rather popular to put it out there. But I just think there's so many people that, for their own ego, are trying to be the starting point, the creator. Of certain conversations on a side of the political aisle, which makes them more influential.

There was a time when Tucker Carlson, and I remember maybe it was one of his producers who said this. That politicians that were running for office on the Republican ticket anywhere in the country, any office, had to go on his show on Fox and talk to him. And he had to endorse them and like them because he was a kingmaker within that side of the political aisle. Whether that was true or not, and some version of it actually did seem to be kind of true at the height of Tucker's influence. I think that's all this is.

I think it's a lot of people who want themselves to be at the forefront of most discussions at the, you know, and Trump is just so good at being that for two reasons. Because the people who hate him hate him so much that they talk about him constantly. And the people who like him like him so much that they defend him. When the people who hate him come out there and scream and yell the crazy things they're going to scream and yell, it makes for a very valuable position because everybody is saying your name. And everybody is thinking about you as much, and they call it Trump derangement syndrome on the left because of how mad they get at the amount of times that Trump has talked about.

But it just simply is a fact. And I think it makes a lot of these pundits very, very jealous and mad. All right, quick break, a lot more. This is the Dana show. Craig Collins filling in.

All right, folks.

So I want to tell you about something that actually works. This is the world's number one expanding garden hose and their newest upgrade. It's the pocket hose ballistic. I like anything that has the word ballistic after it. I don't have time for cheap, stupid equipment that fails after one season.

I am done fighting with it. I'm done with the kinks, Eric Swalwell. I'm done with the tangles. I'm done with the leaks. I'm done with all of it.

It's a waste of money. It's enraging.

So that's why. The pocket hose ballistic, that's why you need to have this thing because it's built different. I could. Beat somebody to death with this. It's made, it's reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer.

Now, you don't know what that is, but you do know what it's been used in before: bulletproof vests.

So, that means, my friends, the strength is real, real durability, no nonsense. It's not going to mess up your garden, it's not going to like tie a knot around you. If you're tired of replacing your cheap hose every year, this is your fix. The ballistic is lightweight, it's super easy to handle. And I like what comes with it: it comes with the pocket pivot.

So, no more fighting the spigot. And ladies, it's gold. Where it moves, you move, you move, it moves. It's so simple, it's smart, you're done. For a limited time, when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you're going to get that free.

You see it right here: 360-degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. Just text Dana to 6430s. That's Dana to 64000 for your two free gifts with purchase. Message and data rates may apply. Here's a thought that shouldn't be controversial.

You can think someone is completely wrong and still not hate them. I know, wild. But somehow we've turned disagreement into a personality and hate into something people are way too comfortable with. And it's not just happening in one place. Hate is rising across communities in different ways and Jewish communities are getting hit especially hard right now.

And hate doesn't just stay in one lane, it spreads.

So even if you think this isn't your issue, give it a minute. You don't have to agree with people. You just have to decide you're not okay with hate. That's it. The blue square is a simple way to say that out loud.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about on a Friday, several big stories. Iran struck a U.S.

military ship, and then the United States fired back. The president described that as a love tap. I thought that was kind of funny and said that the ceasefire is still in place, even if it doesn't feel like it is. That's just one of a lot of big stories out there. A big Virginia state Supreme Court decision was made.

This kicks and punts and rejects all the versions of redistricting in Virginia that would have been ridiculous. And yet, I don't want to start in a lot of these big places. I do want to start with this crazy thing that I saw on CBS News last night. And I love, love the way that Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, maybe he'll get to stay, he'll get to keep this gig long term. Answered a CBS News question.

So, even though this might not be the biggest news story, it was the most entertaining thing to me.

So, let's go ahead and play that first, and then we'll get to some of that other stuff I mentioned a second ago. In a recent interview, former President Barack Obama said, and I quote, The White House shouldn't be able to direct the Attorney General to go around prosecuting whoever the President wants to prosecute. You're the Attorney General. What is your response? He got him.

Or did he? I coincidentally, I happen to have, I think. a copy of the Our Constitution.

So, if we want, we can read.

Okay, real quick. The face of the person doing the interview got real bad when he goes, Hey, I just happen to have a pocket constitution on me, and I'd like to read from it. This is, I love this part of this. Together, Article 2 says the executive power shall be vested in a president of the United States of America. It does not say that the attorney general stands off to the side.

So, as a, I'm an acting attorney general, the attorney general is a member. Of the cabinet of the president of the United States. The Constitution gives the president power.

So I question, I question people in this country that suggests that President Trump, as the chief executive of the United States, does not have the authority or the right or shouldn't be leading this country in all areas, including what we need to be doing to get rid of crime in this country. And so I. I'm not familiar with the comments you just talked about, but to the extent that President Trump calls me and says that he thinks that we have a problem in this country, whether it's this scourge of drugs, illegal immigration, whatever. Every American wants him to do that, and he should. Yeah, here's the thing, and this is why I wanted to start with this, and I loved this so, so much as far as audio that's out there in the world.

Obama is one of several people that has recently said that he thinks that Trump is abusing this power, this ability to ask the attorney general to do certain things. And yet, some of Obama's attorney generals describe themselves as his wingman. That's actually true. You can look it up. People who served in that role while Obama was the president happily described themselves as doing anything and everything Obama wanted.

And guess what? Mainstream media had no problem with this. They were sort of happy and excited about the idea that this branch of government was working so closely together. It's only an objection when it's Trump. And when they're saying that this is some version of him being a king or a dictator, because he has the ability to tell someone perfectly pointed out by Tom Blanche within his cabinet.

To do a thing, to go over here and to do this or do that.

So you decide what you think the right and wrong course of action is. Of course, I'm sure the next time a Democrat is in a position of power and does this, people on the right will complain and call it an abuse of power. I'm not pretending this narrative doesn't exist on both sides, but maybe we need to iron this rule out a little bit differently if we actually want something to change. Because right now, there is no real value to the discussion that tries to say that it's illegal. For this sort of thing to occur, because it's certainly not, and it's been wildly acceptable socially for quite some time, depending on who's in charge.

Speaking of the Obama interview. from a couple days ago with Stephen Colbert. That is the one where he said the thing about how he thinks there should be a separation between those two individuals, the president and the attorney general. He also said some other crazy stuff that's making the rounds more and more now. One of those things was just a simple praise for Zoron Mumdani.

Mamdani, excuse me. And what I think is really interesting about that is that this guy, this crazy socialist communist human in New York, is seen as such a Perfect next step for the Democratic Party. I'm sure you've heard this before. I'm sure people have complained about this before. But in light of the fact that I played the Todd Blanche audio that's referencing this interview, I just figured I'd play this too.

Because I guess the newest distraction for the left is not, we're going to pretend that we're. Against the Attorney General working with the president when we did that ourselves. The newest one is: we're going to pretend that someone isn't a communist and we're going to say they're the future of our party when they're as insanely far left as you can get within the United States, it seems. You look at somebody like Mandami. who I think is an extraordinary talent.

He wants people to be able to afford housing in New York.

Well You know, uh but I I I would assume liberals and New York want the same thing. Yeah, I just think the way you go about doing that, the way you get people to live in the most expensive, most populous city in our country, you take money and housing away from people that you think don't deserve it because they're too rich. The latest idea in New York, I think, is to tax people an exorbitant amount of money if you decide that their second home is worth more than $5 million and it's in New York City. And that's what they're claiming they're going to do, to soak the rich. at all costs whenever they desire to do it.

And the thing that happens that the governor in New York has actually found that Mamdani doesn't seem to want to accept yet is that rich people leave. If you create a whole bunch of laws that take a bunch of their money, they don't stay. They have no interest in staying, and they have the means to leave as soon as they want to.

So it's a uniquely stupid thing to go about the road of trying to force them to stay and pay you a lot of money. Because both those things don't happen. It doesn't work out so great. All right, let's actually go. to some of the stuff going on in Iran.

It's definitely a big story. Marco Rubio was talking about the ceasefire. A reporter asked a question about some of the things that have occurred during the ceasefire and basically asked: Is this really a thing that the Iranians are actually doing? Are they following any of the rules of the ceasefire? Marco Rubio had a pretty good answer to this question.

the two it Well, I guess but the point is, if uh if there's not much seizing in the firing, because we reached the- Well you should ask that of the Iranians, don't ask me, we didn't fire, they fired on us. My point is, if you fire at a U.S. Navy ship, What are we supposed to do? Say, oh, there's a ceasefire. We're not going to shoot down your drone.

That's a stupid question. That's a stupid position to take. Of course we fired back at them. They were shooting at us. That's what I would expect to do.

Only stupid countries don't shoot back when you're shot at. And we're not a stupid country. I love that answer to that question too, because it doesn't mean that the totality of some sort of agreement is as kaput is cratered because someone fired somewhere. And again, as President Trump said, he called this a love tap. Which I found was pretty funny.

I thought that was a pretty good way to talk about it. But beyond Trump and his position on it, if you fire at us, we will absolutely fire at you. We are still interested in keeping the significance of a ceasefire agreement in place as much as we can. All right. Let's play some other crazy audio, too.

And then we'll take our first break. This is AOC talking about how black Americans, according to her, created democracy. There's a lot of people who would be upset with this idea, I think, including the French. But many, many people will be upset with her simple sentence that she said 100%. To curry favor politically with black people.

She wants black people to vote for her and vote for Democrats.

So she says something as insane as this. And how. Black Americans really created democracy in this country. That's exactly right. How they literally made something from nothing.

It is yeah, I'm gonna stop it right there. I do like what N Wokeness on social media did in response to this. He put out on his social media page a whole bunch of other people creating democracy, including our founding fathers, who created a constitutional republic actually here in the United States. But I digress. Um every time.

That AOC says something insanely idiotic and stupid like this. She believes that it actually gets her more support within her political side of the aisle. And something that's terrifying about that belief is it might be true. And it might be something that's very much a detriment to you and I. I think there's a New York Times article out today about how Graham Plattner, the Nazi tattoo guy, might be more popular with Democrats.

Actually, it might be Bulwark. I don't think it's the New York Times. I think that's something else. But someone out there has the take that the Nazi tattoo Democrat is more popular now than he was before any of these crazy things were outed and anyone found out just how insane and ridiculous he is, and that maybe he's on the short list for Democratic candidates for the presidency in 2028. Just think about that.

That someone who has been discovered to have had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years on his body, who had described himself as a historian, a political historian, is someone who then also denied to know the meaning of the thing he put on himself. and that it was tied to the Nazis. This guy is popular currently with the Democrats, just like Mumdani, just like AOC. Who will claim that the democracy concept was created by African American people, by black people living in this country at a time when things might have been harder than they certainly are now for them. And I'm not trying to gloss over that, the reality of that.

I just know that the trap in this conversation is focusing on something, a time in our lives that we currently aren't in. That's the other big distraction for the Democratic Party all the time: is that if you think the current society we're in is actually kind of fair. And kind of good, and in some ways, the thing that people had aspired to create years ago when they were asking for more fairness in our society. If you're upset that that's true because it doesn't help you politically anymore, the only way to talk about something is to pretend that we're in the past. To pretend that you jumped in the DeLorean, went back in time, and you're in a place where things are different, and to highlight it as much as possible.

That to you seems to say that maybe more people will still vote for me because they're trying to protect freedoms that they've had for a while and a society that is actually a meritocracy. Or at least it should be if we don't do DEI sort of things out there in the world. And I know this is crazy to say to some people out there, but it's simply true. Anytime I see from the crazy people on social media or the podcast influencers or the AOCs who say this, how unfair society is. The usual follow-up question that works best is define an example now.

This is something that Charlie Kirk would argue a lot on college campuses with young college students who just assumed things and didn't have any actual proof of the thing they were saying. Is can you give me a story that backs this opinion you have? And when they couldn't do it, you assumed they were going to move on and they didn't. They usually just barreled deeper into, well, it's true because I say it is. But you never see it.

And the only way to have an argument about it or a conversation about it that benefits the left is to pretend it's 50, 60, 70 years ago, whatever amount of time ago, in order to benefit their narrative. All right, we'll take a break. A lot coming up. It's the Craig Collins. It's not Craig Collins Show.

Excuse me. It's the Dana Show. How dare I take that out in editing? It's the Dana Show. Craig Collins filling in.

More coming up in a bit. It is so easy to work with fast-growing trees. It's America's largest and most trusted online nursery with thousands of trees and plants and over 2 million happy customers. They've got everything that your home needs or that you could want. They've got fruit trees, privacy screens, flowering trees, shrubs, houseplants, all grown with care and guaranteed healthy.

It's like your favorite local nursery, but better, delivered straight to your door with more options than you would find in any big box store. And they even match the right plants to your climate and your space and your busy life.

So what I like about fast-growing trees is that they make the entire process so simple and dependable. The website's really Easy to use, and the guidance is very clear. Everything arrives in great condition, and they actually stand behind what they sell. And that's important, that matters, right? Right now, they have huge spring deals, up to half off select items.

And Dana show listeners, you get an additional 20% off of your first order.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. I'm laughing a lot because I just saw a post on social media from a buddy of mine in radio responding to some other person who's complaining about what radio doesn't do anymore in our society. I wasn't intent on talking about this at all, but it just happened as we were playing the music and I came back. And I love those things.

I'm on a nationally syndicated radio show, 200-plus affiliates, 8 million or something, 9 million weekly listeners. And there are people out there that complain like radio is dead or it's not doing the stuff it should do. And the take's insane. I'm not even going to tell you what it is that someone was saying radio is getting wrong, but I just thought it was pretty funny. And then I even more so thought the comment from a colleague of mine asking why radio hosts aren't broadcasting live from the Strait of Hormuz, which was definitely a sarcastic joke, was a really good response to that.

Like, why not? Why not do that? You get a lot of attention. Yeah. We would, by the way, if someone did a remote from there.

You'd get a decent amount of pub. I don't know that it would be worth the effort, though. All right, I'm actually going to tell you real things that matter. At least I think I am. First, I will talk a little bit about Another federal court ruling, one that I very much disagree with, that is continuing to fire down President Trump's ability to impose tariffs.

The President of the United States has said in multiple interviews, whether you believe him or not, that it would be great for us to not pay any taxes at all federally, to no longer have an internal revenue service, to kibosh the whole thing. And anybody who hears that in today's society that hates Trump or, I guess, is not historically up and up on all the things that used to happen in our country believes that we've always had this, which isn't true, and that we never made our money predominantly through tariffs, which we definitely did. But Trump says he'd like an external revenue service that relied heavily on things like tariffs. And I know that would make a lot of products cost more money that were brought from other countries into our country, essentially still a tax on the American people, just an indirect one. And yet, if we made stuff here that was cheaper, which is the absolute goal of this entire thing, we could succeed quite a bit more.

You wouldn't have to pay the quote unquote tax on products if you actually were buying stuff made here that wasn't being tariffed, so it could be offered at a cheaper cost. All that would be good for us. And yet, people seem to hate the idea of this, and they try to do everything they can, including federal judges out of New York, of course, out of New York. In shooting down new versions of tariffs that Trump is trying to put on the world, to again say that we need to manufacture things at home. Essentially, these decisions.

Whether they're grounded in actual legal arguments that make any sense or not. And I actually pretty much disagree entirely with the case that the federal court is making to say that Trump doesn't have this authority when I think he actually does, because it was a temporary tariff, it had an expiration date. It was all the things that I think some of the laws that give the president certain powers were designed to do, not long-term, but short-term reaction to some things going on in the world. But nonetheless, I think the other part of this is just costing us jobs. Because if the tariff plan could actually be executed the way that Trump has drawn it up.

To slowly evolve into something different, it would benefit us tremendously, even if you could make the argument that in the short term it's not easy, that it does hurt us. And I think Trump's even admitted that. I think the President has said before there might be short-term pain before there's long-term value to some of the things he was doing. And then some of the courts got involved to try to stop it. I will also say very quickly of other big news stories out there.

There was an exchange of fire. Iranians, Iranians attacked a U.S. military ship. And then I think Trump described all of it as, quote, a love tap. Even if there is a ceasefire, there has been some lack of fully ceasing fire, but it doesn't kibosh the whole thing.

Marco Rubio and others are out there saying, and we've played some of this audio earlier in the show, that by and large, it's still intact. It still has value, and we hope that it still creates the opportunity for an offer from Iran to end this whole thing, from Iran to end this whole thing, that actually gives us what we want. Because so far they haven't done that. They have not accepted the reality of the world that they live in and the fact that the U.S. is a far superior country militarily, and they're just going to hurt themselves more the longer it takes for them to give us the offer that we actually want to see to end this thing for real.

Other stuff out there that I thought was interesting. Tim Burchett was on with Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan's an interesting guy. There are times that he says things that are very pro-Trump. Even in this interview from just a couple of days ago, and there's things that he says that are exactly the opposite.

He doesn't care about being politically on one side or the other, and he demonstrates it often. And there's stuff that he's said that has made both myself or people I know so mad that they call him a liberal nutjob and a moron and an idiot, even though I don't think he's that. I think at times he still leans left. He's not as far right as some assume that he is when they only see certain clips of him. He's definitely a supporter of Barack Obama and people like him, but he'll still say something.

He reminds me a lot of like a Fetterman. Like he'll still say things that other people won't say on that side of the other, maybe a Bill Maher. Maybe even a little bit stronger than a Bill Maher in being willing to sound like a conservative. And of course, he endorsed Trump leading up to the 2024 election and then said he regretted it. But I do want to play two things from his show and his interview with Tim.

One of those things is about UFOs. I want to sit on that one. We'll play that one second, even though it's maybe more interesting to more people right now. I do want to play this: this is a conversation about the people who believe. that the first attempt at President Trump's life was fake.

And not even just the most recent one, which people also believe was fake, but I think the inspiration to now discount anyone who attempts to kill the current president. on the left was because they tried to um Concoct this way to claim that the first attempt where a bullet was actually fired, where a person died, not thankfully the president of the United States, but horrifically someone else in the audience was killed. And I'm not saying that that's better or worse, that's horrible that someone lost their life. But they even discount that, which is insane. But here, I want to play this audio of.

Tim Burchett and Joe Rogan debating how people can think some of this stuff. Because it's just categorically illogical to come to these conclusions. You have to hate Trump. to such a ridiculous degree. to think that he had paid someone who is an absolute marksman.

to shoot him intentionally in the ear where blood was created to kill someone else and to do all that just to help him win a political race. It is truly insane. Here's Rogan talking about it. He got shot in the ear. You can see the blood come out right away.

It's dripping down the side of his face. And the idea that that's a setup, you cannot be that accurate. You definitely can't be that accurate with a red dot at 140 yards. You can hit him. You could definitely hit him center mass, no problem.

Maybe even hit him in the head if you're really good and you're prone. But nicking his ear like that on purpose and to be there and say, hey, I just want you to nick my ear just a little piece. There's not a chance that that's a fake. And the guy behind him's dead.

So, what are you saying? You think that's fake? That's the setup? Yeah, the fireman lost his life. Yeah, that's crazy.

The whole thing's crazy, but it's just... this thing where people hate him so much in the narrative in the media This Trump derangement narrative that you see in the media is so strong, and people are so programmed by it. For the average person that has a very involved job, you're working all day and then you have a family and you have a life and you have business. You don't have time to really go into depth about what's real and what's not real. And you got that rush of collusion stuff shoved down your throat by mainstream media.

Yes, and it was terrible for years and years and years. I will disagree with Rogan on something. I think you do have time. I think no matter what's going on, no matter how many distractions or more important things you have in your life. You do have time to research the things that you're going to say are true.

What I mean by that is that if you accept something as fact, If you believe in it wholeheartedly, if you even shape some of your decisions around it, decisions on who you vote for, decisions on what you say on social media. You've demonstrated to me that you care about this topic enough, that you have the time to prioritize actually doing the research to find out if the thing you're saying is true.

Now, I agree with Rogan that a lot of people don't do that part. That they don't actually research the stuff that they just accept from mainstream media or some outlet or some short form video they see on the internet. They just assume that that's true for whatever stupid reason they do that. And they don't take the extra step to actually go and do the double check. It's like the people that never get a second opinion from a doctor.

And I never understood those individuals. If you're one of those people, please explain to me why. I would always get a second opinion. There's no harm in having more information from someone else. This is something that during COVID, the Biden administration tried to prevent everyone from doing.

They didn't want anyone to get the second opinion that they didn't like, but it's just crazy. But I understand how Rogan is saying a lot of people are very busy.

So then I would assume. That if you can admit that you don't have the time to do the research to be definitively sure about a position you wanna take on an issue, that maybe you can also admit you don't know if what you're saying is true, or maybe not even say anything. I maybe be someone who can go out there and say, you know what, I haven't researched this well enough to know what the truth is. I've heard some people that might be biased giving me certain opinions on it, but I haven't done any of this looking around myself.

So, I'm just going to assume that anything is still possible. When you don't know something definitively, you do have to accept that other possibilities than your opinion could be accurate until you know for sure. And the biggest thing I think is important about this. I just real quick, is like, this is why I always want receipts. Anything I say, anything that people say out there, no matter how much I follow all the logic of it.

Whether that logic is the 2020 election and how confusing it is that a terrible candidate like Biden got more votes than Barack Obama got when he was running his historic campaign to be the first black man elected to the office of president. It was always confusing that they claim Biden got more votes somehow than him, as Trump got the most votes ever for a sitting president trying to be reelected. But until we started getting the potential. and not even the totality of receipts. In the last couple months, I've always been willing to say that I didn't know.

definitively what occurred. I had seen videos, I'd seen examples of stuff. But I was still open to learning more, desiring to learn more information to make sure what I thought could be true was true. And it's one of the reasons that you elect Trump to the office of president in the first place. And it's something that a lot of people who have turned against him are forgetting.

A lot of people who wanted that answer. Or people who just definitively believed that they knew what actually happened in 2020 and how laws were changed when they shouldn't have been changed to claim that certain types of mail-in voting were legal when they shouldn't have been legal, et cetera, et cetera. You go down the totem pole of all the things that you think were amiss in that election, and yet you don't definitively know unless someone does the additional steps for you. And I'm not saying that some of those court cases didn't try, that got thrown out, but I just think that inevitably this is what people look for. All the time.

This is the part that matters the most. And maybe to Joe Rogan's point, it's the thing that people care about the least, the actual information at the tail end of all of it. And I'll never understand that. All right, I want to play one other piece of audio. I should probably take a break, but I'll just do this quickly because it's Kamala Harris.

There's a big story about. That research that Democrats did into why her 2024 campaign was awful. They did it last year and then they buried it. They never actually made it a thing that's public. It might eventually go public, but they hit it.

They hit it to a ridiculous degree. They hit it like it was, you know, the thing that Indiana Jones is searching for in any of his movies, any of the items, the Lost Ark, whatever you want to say. But nonetheless, I just thought this was interesting that Harris has gone viral recently for saying that the biggest winner in the Iranian conflict with the United States and Israel is Russia. This is uniquely stupid for her to believe, but let's play it. You want to know who's the big winner on the Iranian war?

Russia. Because because of the oil issue, what has he done? He's lifted sanctions on Russia. You know what that means? They're making money to sell oil that otherwise they were prevented from selling.

What else does it mean? We're sending artillery, ammunition, air defense. That otherwise would be going to Ukraine. No, how terrible. And then also, we're upending the oil trade system that existed with Venezuela, Iran, and several other countries.

And oh, yeah, Russia and China. We're actually upending the entirety of that system and how we're taking certain action that might inevitably allow us to place sanctions later on down the road that actually work. The sanctions against Russia weren't working. Sanctions against places like China, they're not effective because they've built this system to circumvent them that relied heavily on oil trade between Russia, Venezuela, Iran, a lot of countries that would all call themselves our enemy or at least a frenemy of ours. And we have upended that system a couple of times now.

This is one of the most recent times. This war does not benefit Russia. It's absolutely idiotic for someone to claim it does. That's why Kamala Harris was such a terrible candidate. Not what other people tell you who refuse to do some research.

A quick break, a lot more. This is the Dana Show. Greg Collins filling it. It is our friends over at Noble Gold. Noble Gold, this is what everybody always goes into.

But somehow we've turned disagreement into a personality and hate into something people are way too comfortable with. And it's not just happening in one place. Hate is rising across communities in different ways and Jewish communities are getting hit especially hard right now. And hate doesn't just stay in one lane, it spreads.

So even if you think this isn't your issue, give it a minute. You don't have to agree with people. You just have to decide you're not okay with hate. That's it. The blue square is a simple way to say that out loud.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about. I did love Dana's reaction just the other day.

A D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio, an X, a great way to stay connected to her. All kinds of social media. I even mentioned earlier in the show that I follow her on TikTok now. And they put up a lot of great stuff on there. Her team does.

Producer Steven does a great job. But anyway, I really loved her reaction to the Hamptavirus from the other day. I'm going to play a little bit of Dana's audio that's on social media wherever you find it. But before I do that, I will play Dr. Mark Siegel also telling us not to be afraid, not to freak out.

Not to be worried because no matter what the World Health Organization says, although by and large, they've actually said this exact same thing, they don't govern us. They don't tell us what to do.

So if they ever go the other road, we can in fact ignore them. And the current president we have in office and people like Dana Lash will help us know that we definitely should ignore any version of shutting down if they ever call for that. But here's Dr. Mark Siegel first on Fox News saying: you don't need to worry about this. The chances of human-to-human transmission of this virus is extremely low.

They've studied it. In Chile in 2007, they found about 1% chance from this Andy strain. That's it, 1%. And the WHO told me this morning that there's no evidence that this virus has changed whatsoever. There was a concern about a flight attendant maybe getting it from contact with a passenger.

She's testing negative so far, which is also really good.

So, as the days go on and we don't see spread, we're reassured that the virus hasn't changed.

Now, one thing that isn't totally clear to me is: did a passenger bring this on the ship from a bird-watching episode in Argentina where we know this strain exists, or could it be from rodents on the ship? If it's the rodents, I'm even more reassured because it spreads through droppings and urine and saliva from rodents. But either way, a yeah, I'm not as reassured. I like that he is because essentially what he's saying is the transmissibility of it is even lower because individuals on a cruise ship might have all interacted, unfortunately, with some sort of droppings that they shouldn't have interacted with, and that won't look good for the cruise ship. But it would make it more logical that multiple people from that boat all wound up getting sick and not that it was getting transmitted from person to person, that there was a different catalyst to multiple individuals all having the same illness.

Here's a little bit of what Dana said, and I did love this again, where she's like, we're not shutting down no matter what you say. What is the Hantavirus? That's what it is. It's a grody little thing that is spread by basically rat droppings, right? And I it just and apparently it's like they had a number of people on the ship that had it.

It can be fatal, I guess, if you're immune compromised. I mean, it's kind of like the stuff that we heard with. COVID. I ain't shutting down for anything, by the way, just to let you know. I don't care if people are bleeding out of their eyes.

Hey man, it's not going to happen. Yes. Not going to happen. Go do that on your own time. We ain't shutting down nothing.

I love this so much because none of the shutdowns worked at all for any of the reasons that they guilted us into thinking that we should do it and that people did do it to some extent before them not doing it.

Some people didn't want to do it right from jump, and I applaud all those individuals out there, but I applaud Dana. I love that she even says if people are bleeding from their eyes because again, shutting down didn't have a positive impact last time. We're not doing it again, no matter what happens.

So I applaud her for that and also the grossness in which she described the hantavirus itself and what might have happened on a cruise ship. I'm glad I've never taken a cruise and I don't intend to take one. If there's a cruise sponsor out there for this show, it's not you. It's everybody else. You're the good guys.

But by and large, not something I desire to do. And I live in Houston and right down from me, just south of me, is one of the biggest ports that cruise ships. Ships leave from in Galveston, and I ain't going. I don't have any interest. I can get drunk in places that I can leave.

I don't have to do it for a week on a ship where I'm trapped. That's just my own opinion on that. Here, let's also play this audio. This is not Hantavirus. This is Stephen A.

Smith. I'm talking to Nick Shirley. And I love the answer that this young man gave to a question, a couple questions, and when he stopped talking. Because question answered was what happened there. Stephen A., unique guy right now in the world of influencers or celebrities who are also on digital media platforms, because at times he sounds like a conservative, and at other times he still very much does not, kind of like Rogan.

But he had Shirley on and he asked him a couple questions that seemed loaded. And Nick Shirley did an incredible job of actually answering them, not avoiding them, but also not saying anything that might have been the design of where the question could have taken the conversation. I thought this was great. Supporters say you expose real corruption. But critics say your reporting fuels suspicion toward immigrant communities.

Do you worry? There's a line between exposing fraud And creating fear? No. No, I think fraud's all of our dollars. I mean, when you pay taxes, it's just as much as a a Republican dollar is as a Democrat dollar.

And I think these these politicians need to stop using immigrant communities to c to commit fraud. I love the pause here. I did stop it, and I'll hit play again because Stephen A is about to speak. But he finished his answer. He said that it's not a Republican dollar that's being stolen.

It's an American dollar, and we should all care, and we should all out it. And that he thinks the game plan, which it seems to very much be true, is that people use the immigrant community because they're going to take advantage of liberal media's willingness to try to act as though this is somehow less of a crime if they feel bad or tell you you should feel bad for the people who are doing the thing, regardless of if it's true that you should even consider them anything other than millionaires, some of the people who committed this fraud and got caught doing it, regardless of what they looked like. But I just loved the answer and then the stop, which forces Stephen A. Smith to keep going when he might have wanted to have a further debate on whether Nick Shirley is race-baiting society, which he absolutely is not. And that's what you think this is about.

They're using migrants and immigrants to commit fraud. That's what you believe this is all about? Yeah. In a lot of these cases. Minnesota, they use the Somalians.

In California, they used Arminians and they let that happen for years upon years. Yeah, this is also true that a lot of these times you see these things and you see politicians push through legislation that is designed to somehow, quote, help migrant communities, immigrant communities, probably a lot of people who are here illegally too, get things they shouldn't be getting. And then they take advantage and abuse those systems and maybe also offer some kickbacks to people like Ilhan Omar, who very oddly shut down a winery that at one point seemed to cause her net worth to balloon from $50,000 to millions of dollars. And then it went right back to 50 grand. That's what she's worth now that that winery is closed after all this fraud came out.

How odd. That's a thing that happened. How many questions, how few answers do we still have there? But nonetheless, I just thought it was such a well done because the question is designed to get someone to say that, you know.

Some version of my answer leans into the world that I don't care. if it's racist, which then accepts the idea that it is racist, which it's not. Outing fraud, regardless of who is doing it, does not, in fact, include a race component. It's only added by media if they want to try to somehow prevent more people from doing more of this stuff. And California is actively trying to do that via some laws they're trying to create that would prevent the Nick Shirleys of the world from even going there and reporting a basic information that mainstream media long ago abandoned doing.

This used to be the job of news. They used to actually do this. They don't do this so much anymore. All right, another big thing out there. I teased this and then I didn't pay it off as soon as I had promised.

But at least I'm doing it now for anyone still listening. Joe Rogan, anyone that was listening before and is listening now. Joe Rogan is talking with Tim Burchett about UFO UAP files that are being released. The Trump administration put some of these videos out today. My reaction to them, and I was actually on the Three Martini Lunch, which is a great podcast.

It's a part of the umbrella that Dana Lash is also under at the company that puts out this show.

So, check it out: Three Martini Lunch. Jim Garrity of National Review does a great job. But this was one of the conversations that came up there in a podcast I was recording earlier today with him. And I called it Bigfoot-esque. Because the videos and the photos we're seeing don't have the clarity that the everyday American's gonna need to know what the hell they're looking at.

It doesn't mean it's not worthwhile and valuable. It is. You're seeing some of these unidentified objects flying in ways that they shouldn't be flying in. There's reports that the Apollo 17 crew. Had described these really bright objects as they were flying toward the moon, or it might have been coming back home that made no sense and kind of looked like a fireworks show.

So there's some reports that we had previously heard, but maybe not to the degree that we're hearing them now. Other things are brand new video that we've never seen before of objects that are flying in ways that make no sense. But by and large, it just looks like a really bright light. The video we have is not close enough where it shows like the shape of the craft or anything. It's just these unidentified moving objects that we see from very far away.

Which is why I describe it as Bigfoot-esque. But I did like how Joe Rogan and Tim Burchett talked about this, a Republican out of Tennessee, because. Even though some people will say part of this information is coming out because it's intending to, excuse me, distract us from what's going on in Iran, I don't think that that's true. I don't think these guys actually think it's true. And I think the biggest reason for it, which doesn't come up in this audio, is that Barack Obama did a sit-down interview where he confirmed that aliens were real.

This is something he said sort of as a joke. Maybe potentially seriously. And then President Trump was asked about it and said, you know, if Obama's doing that, he's putting classified information out there that's not declassified, and he's not allowed to do that.

So I do think part of this is just becoming the person who actually gave us all this information, which is also keeping a campaign promise. I don't care when it happens. I want this information. I assume you do too. And I've always said this about this topic.

I can pay attention to two things at once when one of those things is aliens. I can pay attention to what's going on in Iran, whatever the big news story is that they're trying to quote distract me from, and then also continue to be active. In the potential realization that aliens are a thing in the galaxy. I can have two pieces of information both go through my brain, filter them both, and care about them both equally. I don't have to pick and choose when the topics are this important.

But here's Rogan and Tim talking about this. What doesn't totally make sense is why now disclosure, other than I mean, just being cynical. The Iran war is not going very well. The American public is very upset. A lot of people don't think we should have ever been involved in that in the first place, and we need some good news.

I think we um We need something to distract us. We need something to take our focus off of. If I was going to do it, now would be the time I'd do it. But I don't think Trump really even cares. I think he just wants to get it out there.

Well, I think he does too. You know, he's talked about it. And he's also. I mean, no, I mean, I don't think he cares about. Trying to get everybody off off target by disclosing UFOs.

I think he cares about all of it, but I don't think he cares that if they're talking about it or not. I just think he he genuinely sees that America needs to know this stuff.

Well, he also realizes America wants to know it. He's an outsider. Yes, he's an outsider who made a lot of these campaign promises and told us that he was going to do this stuff. And now it's happening. And I still like it.

And I'm still happy that it's occurring, even if. You go and watch some of the videos that Fox News and others have been reporting on and putting out into the world. And you see, at least I assume what I see, which is a whole lot of Bigfoot-esque versions of things. You're too far away. There's not enough information.

It looks like it could be a thing that they're telling you it is. But you need a better photo, a better video, or hopefully at some point a press conference where President Trump is high-fiving an alien or high however many fingers they have. I assume it's going to be five or less. Who knows? Maybe he has to use both hands for the one, high five, high 10.

We'll see. But that'll really give us the definitive information that I think a lot of Americans are waiting for. Even if you already think you know the answer to this, as many of us believe we do, that aliens have to exist. The galaxy, the world much beyond our planet, is just so vast that, of course, it makes sense for other life to be out there somewhere. And it doesn't have to upend any of your religious beliefs as it doesn't upend any of mine.

I'm a Catholic who still believes the things a Catholic believes. All right, quick break. A lot more. This is the Dana Show. Craig Collins filling in.

Our partners that bring you the program. It's our friends over at Native Path. Look, collagen is incredibly important. In fact, collagen is the thing that that's where, you know, bone strength and as well as having your joints cushioned and your skin firm. It's all from collagen.

And after age 30, your body starts producing maybe 1% to 2% less every year.

So here's where Native Path comes in. This was developed by Dr. Chad Walding. He's a doctor of physical therapy. He wanted clean collagen for his patients.

Couldn't find what he wanted. Made Native Path collagen. It's grass-fed, it's clean. And the benefits: you have younger-looking skin, stronger nails, better sleep, improved bone density, and it dissolves in coffee or water. There's no taste.

It's not chalky. There's no clumping. I have this. It's super easy to put in coffee and it doesn't alter the taste of the beans. For all of you out there in Radio Land, you get a special offer.

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, Dean Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X. Great ways to stay connected to her.

All kinds of other social media that she and her team do so, so well.

So impressive. I want to play some audio of a woman that's gone viral. This is a mom who said that Mother's Day is sort of awful for moms. You decide if she's being a Grinch who stole Christmas or if she's telling the truth. I imagine a lot of moms might agree with her and a lot of other people might not.

And my favorite part, even though I don't actually have it as part of the audio, because she did say a lot of bad words when she went viral, was how she said dads are going to screw up the most. She didn't use the word screw up, but she said dads will get it the most wrong. Kids will come close to doing things that the moms want. A dad will swing and miss pretty hardcore. I do assume that's true, but think about how little we get for Father's Day, men do compared to women get.

So, so really us swinging and missing your day, you can't hold it against us too much. But here's what the mom said about the holiday itself and how stressful it can be for moms.

Some of us are freaking out.

Okay, we've got control issues. We get one day for growing a 40-pound hot sack off of our body for 10 months. And you're telling us to just relax and enjoy it? First of all, it would probably take me three days alone in Bali to start to feel relaxed.

So don't be entirely surprised if I don't feel refreshed after one day of my kids bringing me breakfast in bed. I'm not even asleep. I'm on a level 10 alert listening to you carry food in a hot beverage up the stairs to me because I've pretty much never seen you not spill something before. I'm going to need to re-regulate my whole nervous system just from that.

Society throws this idea of relaxation on Mother's Day at us all willy-nilly as if they've never even heard of hypervigilance before.

So meat needs to be defrosted. When's that going to go down? All I'm saying here is if you want us to relax. You better have your ducks in a row. Cause moms, we've been two steps ahead of everybody else since day one.

Day of rest is exactly what we need, and also not nearly enough. It's fine. I'm going to be fine. Where's the vodka? I love every part of this.

I love the fact that she says moms are actually stressed out during Mother's Day because I feel like I saw that before as a kid when you're trying to do things for mom and you're not really sure if they're landing the way they're supposed to. But that's true. She also said that as I mentioned a second ago, dads will swing and miss throughout this holiday.

So good luck to all of us. At least we'll be predictably disappointing. That's usually a good thing in the world of men, I think. A quick break, a lot more. Craig Hollins 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 things out there to discuss, and yet I'm sick of so much of the news of the day that I think we've covered it enough. Let's do some stuff a little bit more fun.

Two of these are still news, I think, close. They're proximity to the news. One is the idiot that is Kathy Griffin. She reacted to a story on social media. The headline from the New York Post said, ICE agents storm Disney cruise ship in California and arrest multiple staff in front of stunned passengers.

That's all that Kathy Griffin read. And then she put up a thing, I think on actually that other dumb platform, Threads or whatever, not even on X, because she's probably mad at that site, in which she said, Jesus bleeping Christ. I feel rage. If you do too, promise me you will remember this rage on every election day. Here's the problem.

With Kathy being so mad and also using the Lord's name in vain, it was actually a child pornography ring that was being upended and a bunch of people being arrested. It was something like 26 crew members from the Philippines, Portugal, Indonesia, who all either possessed. uh demonstrated the receipt of, transportation of, distribution of, or the viewing of Child porn. And so Kathy went out there and defended a bunch of horrible, horrible people and did it because she read one simple headline and then assumed she could use the emotions of a lot of other people to influence you to politically vote differently. When I think by and large, if you paid attention to even just a smidge more of this story, you'd praise the law enforcement people for doing a good thing and catching a lot of bad guys out there in our society.

But darn it, Kathy doesn't want you to do that part. or is stupid enough to not do it herself. or probably a bit of both. Also, a Spencer Pratt. A reality TV star himself is doing surprisingly well in his political campaign, outing a lot of corruption and other things that are going on in California.

More and more people are like, Yeah, I think I could vote for Spencer Pratt to be a person in charge of something, which is amazing considering who Spencer Pratt was as a celebrity and not necessarily someone with political aspirations. But let's play a little bit of this audio that went viral of him outing some more scandals going on in California.

Well, well, well, all last summer, I warned you, Gavin Newsome and his wife were on the take. We blew the whistle on how the first partner, Jennifer Newsome, was getting fire aid money diverted into her dubious nonprofit, taking from donations that people were told was meant for fire victims. When we broke that story, what did they do?

Well, they just deleted her NPO from the list of donor recipients on the Higher ed website and lied about it ever happening. Lied and lied and lied. Again, Spencer Pratt crushing his attempt to be the mayor, to be a mayor somewhere in this country in California, which to me is just amazing because it's not somebody you had on your bingo card going into 2026 as rising to a level of political relevance that he might actually win an election. No offense. I'm not trying to take a mean, you know, unintentional shot at Spencer Pratt.

It's just I remember. The stuff that initially made him famous. And I didn't feel like I was ever watching a politician start his political career at that time. But the world in which we live has changed quite a bit, and a lot of outsiders wind up doing a much better job than people who are politically inside for a long time.

So darn it, go ahead. A vote for Spencer Pratt. A couple other silly things out there that I saw. Roomba thinks that it's pioneering a brand new way to sell you a house cleaning robot. It looks like a pet.

So it's an animal-looking AI-powered thing that also would clean your home.

So it's a little bit of both. It's the exact opposite of having a very hairy dog that sheds a lot. This thing is vacuuming stuff up and then pretending it's alive. I would never want one of these, an iRobot thing that looks like an animal. I would much rather have a pet, a real one, and then maybe also a Roomba to clean up after the pet.

I don't need you to merge the two together. But this feels like very typical intelligence thinking from people who create robots and whatnot, artificial intelligence thinking, I should say, because they think it's great, but it really seems awful. And then one last one. I saw that a guy had his girlfriend break up with him because she searched his chat GPT history. And I thought it was going to be something dirtier than what it wound up being.

He just asked ChatGPT for a lot of relationship advice, and the woman didn't like that.

So be careful, everybody out there. That advice might actually get you dumped. That's it. That's the show. See you later.
