Fraudulent Daycare List, Grows Tim Walz's Daughter Wines, & $400K Lobster Heist

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.839
This is the Danish show. My name is Craig Collins,
2
00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:04.839
filling in the thrilled to be with you. A bunch
3
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:07.360
of stuff to talk about. This is just for the studio.
4
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:09.599
I'm hearing myself coming back. I think I'm hearing an
5
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:13.240
echo of myself somehow. If we can get that fixed.
6
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:15.720
I think it's actually coming from the app we're using
7
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.480
to connect on. You might need to mute that microphone.
8
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:21.600
But anyway, a couple things out there, some things that
9
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.199
I think are interesting. First, there is a story about,
10
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.440
of course, the Somalian fraud and how crazy it's getting,
11
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:34.039
how ridiculous things are, how terrible everything. This audio of
12
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:38.479
Chip Roy and how he's discussing some of what's likely
13
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.600
to happen next, removal, deportation, all this kind of stuff.
14
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.719
All of it makes sense.
15
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:45.560
And yet some people are trying to say that this
16
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.079
would be a racist, horrible decision to a ridiculous amount
17
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:50.679
of fraud that's occurring in our society.
18
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:52.560
But here we go. Here's Chip Roy.
19
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.000
I think this was on Fox News last night talking
20
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:55.799
about this sort of thing.
21
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.119
It defies all logic and reason to believe that Governor
22
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.560
Waltz was ignorant of what was happening in Minnesota. Yes,
23
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.319
let's be clear, he was campaigning on it last year
24
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.760
with respect to the campaign with Vice President Harris in
25
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.599
her run for the presidency. He literally was talking about it.
26
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.439
Thank god that President Trump won that election. Thank God
27
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.239
that we do not have a Harris Waltz presidency because
28
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:23.040
they would be encouraging this to continue, whereas this president
29
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.120
is rooting out the fraud, securing the border, stopping the
30
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.280
flow of people into our country. But this is what
31
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.560
happens when you have massive welfare programs that are funding
32
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.640
people that are coming into our country, whether it's illegally
33
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.239
or frankly through legal channels, that are being abused by
34
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.040
the radical left and the Marxists who want this to occur.
35
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.120
The Somali community knew full well what they were doing.
36
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.239
It's a part of an enterprise wide effort that's global,
37
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.959
tied to the United Nations, tied to the World Organizations NGOs.
38
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.239
Our own taxpayer dollars that are being used against us
39
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.120
while we import people to be put on the welfare state,
40
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.760
to be put on Medicaid, to take taxpayer money. It's
41
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.000
fraud that has to be stopped and people need to
42
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.400
be removed, deported, denaturalized, and sent back to Somalia.
43
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.000
A freaking men, Chip Roy.
44
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.360
That is a great take and a great position to
45
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.360
have on this, because, Yeah, if you've gone this far
46
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.199
to abuse the systems that exist in our society, to
47
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.319
do it much to the detriment of a whole lot
48
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.599
of people. I mean, think about the things they're fraudulently
49
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:31.840
taking advantage of, daycare, childcare things, elderly care things, you know,
50
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.800
autism sort of organizations, focused organizations. So many of these
51
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.719
things are ridiculous to me that it feels as though
52
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.400
the next thing that needs to happen. And by the way,
53
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:44.960
I could hear you snap if you were trying to
54
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.840
doest something, I could actually hear it happened. The last
55
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.120
thing I'll say, though, is the craziness of this entire
56
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:56.039
system is how there are still people defending it, and
57
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.039
how deep and how far back this rabbit hole goes,
58
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.360
And so a couple things there. Some people have put
59
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.400
viral video out of twenty eighteen, and like Independent Slash
60
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.960
also mainstream investigations into a ridiculous amount of fraud that
61
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.520
gone on. Minnesota's fraud is likely to only be the
62
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.520
tip of the iceberg, according to people like Scott Jennings,
63
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.240
who also see a whole lot of fraud likely to
64
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.400
be coming out of places like California. And I'll also
65
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.319
say this kind of quickly before I hit play on
66
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:24.840
my next.
67
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:25.319
Piece of audio.
68
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:30.439
The US assumes that fraud against our government or the
69
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.560
government programs that we run is in the neighborhood of
70
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.599
two hundred and thirty three to five hundred and twenty
71
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.960
one billion dollars a year. That is based on a
72
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.680
study they did between the years of twenty eighteen and
73
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:47.000
twenty twenty two. That range is insane two thirty three
74
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.759
to five twenty one And that's just an assumption. They
75
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.039
can't actually definitively say that it's not more than that.
76
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.120
So when you're thinking about the amount of fraud in
77
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.080
this one program in Minnesota, it's a drop in the
78
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.120
bucket to the ridiculous amount of fraud that occurs in
79
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.960
our society year in and year out because of the
80
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.520
leniency in our government programs that seems to beg fraudsters
81
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.919
to do horrible things because they tell us all the time,
82
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.120
this is the only way to be a compassionate society,
83
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.040
is you have less checks and balances on who you
84
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:18.680
give money to.
85
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:20.399
Here, I'll play the Scott.
86
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.720
Jennings audio next, and then after that, I actually want
87
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.920
to play something from the debate between jd. Vance and
88
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.560
Tim Walls, because there's so many moments that show you
89
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.839
that this is a long ongoing thing that anyone in
90
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.759
any sort of position of actual power should have long
91
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.800
rooted out and fixed, and they're not fixing it because
92
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.399
they don't want to fix it because of all the
93
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.360
assumed kickbacks and whatnot that exist here. But here first,
94
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.639
let's play Jennings and how he says the tip of
95
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.720
the Iceberg. We're going to see a lot more of this,
96
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:47.839
a lot more places.
97
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.519
That nothing is being done, That no one is being
98
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:54.079
held accountable, That this was just let to run rampant
99
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:55.480
is completely false.
100
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:55.959
No, it's not.
101
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.040
Well, some people have been held accountable, but I think,
102
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.399
in the opinion of most Republicans, not nearly enough. And truthfully, man,
103
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.000
until somebody in a position of power, until somebody in
104
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.480
a position in Minnesota elected position who was in charge
105
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.639
of administering this or having some oversight over it goes
106
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.519
to jail, it's honestly never going to stop. Look what's
107
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.160
going on in blue states across the country. Nine billion
108
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.560
in Minnesota, seventy billion in fraud in California, cooking the
109
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.680
crime stats in Washington, DC. When is someone in a
110
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:30.079
position of power going and go to jail for the rent?
111
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.040
What I am, Abby, I'm good, I didn't know. Hold
112
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:33.920
on for a second. He's absolutely right about that. When
113
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:35.600
is someone in a position of power. They're not even
114
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.360
just talking about walls here. We're talking about anyone who
115
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.079
was supposed to have oversight over these organizations.
116
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.439
None of those people go to jail.
117
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.319
You don't see anybody getting hauled off and thrown into prison,
118
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.560
because that's the tip of the iceberg. Another way you
119
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.480
hold someone accountable, they're going to point upward to who
120
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:53.639
they were told to do it by, and then it's
121
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.759
going to keep going up and up, so that the
122
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.680
system itself is protecting the fraud stairs because they know
123
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.800
who fraudsters are connected too. And so, yes, it's never
124
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.199
going to be enough until we get that far. But
125
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.519
this has been going on for so long that the
126
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.040
other thing that Abby Phillips said was literally insane. That
127
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:13.759
you know, it's not like this has been ignored and
128
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.600
been a thing there's stories from local news affiliates in
129
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:23.160
Minnesota talking about Somalian fraud in daycare in twenty eighteen
130
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.560
and how parents that used to get money from the
131
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.199
daycare organization that was fraudulent would bring their kids by
132
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.519
for like a few minutes at the beginning of the
133
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.079
day and then bring their kids home. So everybody who
134
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.600
was on the take was creating an illusion that this
135
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.879
actually was an organization that was taking care of kids,
136
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.079
when the reality was all the kids wouldn't even stay there,
137
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.720
and all the people were making money off of the scam,
138
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.959
and they got even lazier in the years since, because
139
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.199
now a bunch of those places, as Nick Shirley showed
140
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.319
you in his viral video that went all over the place,
141
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:58.680
that they don't even do that part, that a bunch
142
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:00.680
of these places are just closed. And by the way,
143
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.319
i'll just throw this out there before play.
144
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:03.959
On any more audio.
145
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:09.319
The Quality Leering Center, the place that spelled learning wrong,
146
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:11.240
actually had kids at it.
147
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:12.079
Yesterday.
148
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.759
A whole bunch of kids showed up and people seemed
149
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.439
like they were busting children in and cars were in
150
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.759
the parking lot, and then there was a guy there
151
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.079
that said that the hours of operation are like two
152
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.279
to six. It was hilarious to watch them try to
153
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:29.279
pretend as though that is a bustling business on other days,
154
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.959
because at the same time as that was happening, you
155
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.720
had politicians saying that it's been shut down for a while,
156
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:36.879
and the reason you didn't see anyone at it is
157
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.360
that it's no longer an operation, So they didn't even
158
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.879
coordinate their lie correctly. The Somalian people who are still
159
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.519
getting paid money for the Quality Leering Center pretended as
160
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.560
though the business is in operation, and the politicians above them,
161
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.839
who are probably getting kickbacks, pretended that it's been closed forever.
162
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.839
But here is the audio of Tim Walls talking about
163
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.560
some of the ridiculous things that seemed to demonstrate just
164
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.360
how on it they all were, like daycares in Minnesota
165
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:08.199
and the existence of daycare programs in Minnesota. This happened
166
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.839
during the debate, long before the rug was pulled out
167
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:13.839
from under him. As far as the amount of people
168
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.839
that know the insane amounts of fraud that have been
169
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.920
going on forever or for a very long time in
170
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:20.759
that state.
171
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.279
Go to the businesses and ask them. As far as childcare,
172
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.279
on this, you have to take it at both the
173
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:29.079
supply and the demand side. You can't expect the most
174
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.639
important people in our lives to take either our children
175
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.159
or our parents to get paid the least amount of money.
176
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.559
And we have to make it easier for folks to
177
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.759
be able to get into that business and then to
178
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.480
make sure that folks are able to pay for that.
179
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.480
We were able to do it in Minnesota, and I'm
180
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.039
still telling you this. We were listed as the best state.
181
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.080
We're still in crisis on this. A federal program of
182
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.000
paid family medical leaf and help with this will enhance
183
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.440
our workforce, enhance our families, and make it easier to
184
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:55.399
have the children that you want.
185
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.840
Oh my god, how horrible would that have been if
186
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:01.000
they instituted any of the Minnesota policies on a national level.
187
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.840
The fact that they do say that we are so
188
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.080
so lucky that Trump was elected into office and that
189
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.200
you know, Harris was not elected along with Walls, Like,
190
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.399
how much more ridiculous would this story be if it's
191
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.519
the current Vice president knock on wood, Thank god it's not.
192
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.759
I shudder to say that out loud. Dealing with the
193
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.799
fallout of this amount of fraud. If we even knew
194
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:22.919
about it. One last thing I want to play before
195
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.480
I take a break, and this is just to prove.
196
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.960
How long this has been an ongoing, knowable issue.
197
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.240
This is audio, I think from a local NPR affiliate
198
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.799
in Minnesota. You can tell because there's the annoying, you know,
199
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:40.799
narrative going over and the you know version of giving
200
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.879
your opinion because of the way that you're saying certain things.
201
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.320
But anyway, there's the annoying narrative over the audio of
202
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.840
a town hall meeting in twenty fourteen or twenty fifteen
203
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.200
where Minnesota's were complaining about the amount of Somalians that
204
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.159
were disrupting their community that they got no choice in
205
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:00.679
the process of we're sending the refue here and that's
206
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.840
where they're going to stay. And one of the politicians,
207
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.480
who now is a very high ranking member of Congress,
208
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.519
seems to be very upset about the line of questioning
209
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.440
it all and the ridiculousness of it because it all
210
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.399
goes to human rights and whatnot. And this is probably
211
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.600
the beginning stages of you scratch my back, I'll scratch
212
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.840
your back as far as fraud and kickbacks go. But
213
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:23.960
Tom Emmer is the voice in this. He's now the
214
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:29.360
minority whip in the in the House of Congress in
215
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:33.039
the United States dealing with some of the complaints people had.
216
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.399
In twenty fifteen, in a town hall meeting in Saint Cloud, Minnesota,
217
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:36.840
here we go.
218
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.320
We did not ask for those Somalis. Nobody asked, asked
219
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.120
us if we will in Saint claud want thales. And
220
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:47.759
we understand that social groups like the Lutheran Social Service
221
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:53.879
and Catholic charities, they're dumping them in areas like Saint Cloud. Okay,
222
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.639
And so the question is how many more are coming?
223
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:00.399
We didn't ask for these people. Everybody that you read
224
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.200
about is talking about this. So that is a main
225
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.879
issue in the city. There is no control. The people
226
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.360
have no control over any immigration. The mayor doesn't, I
227
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:10.679
don't know.
228
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.039
Congressman Emmer is like, what are you even talking about?
229
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:15.879
Oh, how dare you sir? Sorry, I'm gonna let that
230
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:16.679
voice over continue.
231
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:17.200
Someone's here.
232
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.480
Legally you don't get a saying whether they come into
233
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.919
your city. And he fires a warning shot at the
234
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.960
implicit racism here against Somali's as if to say, don't
235
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.679
go further down this road, you guys.
236
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:29.919
I wonder why he's really saying don't go for the road.
237
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:31.600
Tom Emmer. By the way, as a Republican, and if
238
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:32.360
you're asking me.
239
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.120
How I feel about immigrant populations who are in this
240
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.440
country legally and who are actually trying to find a
241
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:42.240
better way for themselves and their families, I support it wholeheartedly.
242
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:44.960
I mean, the Germans had the same problem when they
243
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.399
came over. The police had the problem. The Chinese had
244
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:51.240
the problem on their own. No, we have a different problem.
245
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.159
That's a great point. They did it on their own though.
246
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.679
But anyway, this is from a twenty fifteen town hall
247
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.120
and a fight back and forth, and it's the typical
248
00:11:58.240 --> 00:11:59.919
version of defense that now you hear a lot of
249
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.039
Democrats giving, which is this is just an everyday occurrence
250
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:04.759
of life, and this is people trying to make their
251
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.639
lives better and trying to do anything they can. And no,
252
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.799
of course, not everyone within a community is responsible for crime.
253
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:14.440
I'm not saying that. If you want to pretend I'm
254
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.200
saying that, that's fine, I am not, though. But if
255
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.159
it's a significant portion of a group of people that
256
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.320
are all in coordination seeming to do something, you have
257
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.200
to say that out loud. You have to be honest
258
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.279
about this, and you can't say people are just trying
259
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.639
to better their lives when they're ripping off the American
260
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:33.600
taxpayer in ridiculous schemes like daycare schemes and whatnot. We'll
261
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.120
get to more of that later, but this has been
262
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:38.200
going on for a long time in Minnesota. It's not
263
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.600
a new story. It's just new to a whole lot
264
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.679
of Americans and feels like it's exactly the reason you
265
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.039
voted Trump into power in the first place, is to
266
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.120
bring these fraudulent systems crashing down. Craig Collins filling in
267
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.200
on the Danish show. More coming up in a bit.
268
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.799
The folks who help make all of it possible, the
269
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:59.919
great organization at Preborn that has done a lot to say,
270
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:04.039
women and babies. This Christmas, you're celebrating the gift of life,
271
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.679
and you have the opportunity to share that same gift
272
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.440
with a mother and child. I mean, think about how
273
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.159
Christmas began actually, and then think about where we are
274
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.279
right now. You know, just because planned parenthood and Roe v.
275
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:23.080
Wade was overturned by a more logically sound judicial ruling,
276
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.000
abortion hasn't gone away. The abortion pill is now like
277
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.960
sixty percent of them, I think now and since two
278
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:31.879
thousand and seven a half a million babies have been
279
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.840
rescued through Preborn It's a private Christian ministry. They don't
280
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:40.759
receive government money. Everything is due to generous listeners like you.
281
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:43.679
They provide immediate support to women. They meet them where
282
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.639
they are, maternity clothes, diapers, counseling, much more. But they
283
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.799
introduce them to their baby through an ultrasound twenty eight
284
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:54.039
dollars and women. The chances that that baby lives doubles
285
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.799
when a woman hears their baby's heartbeat for the first time.
286
00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.320
And twenty eight dollars is all a cost. That's the
287
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:03.279
easiest twenty dollars you could ever spend, saving a life,
288
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.320
a legacy. Who knows what that child might go on
289
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:09.360
to accomplish. And as you're in giving season approaches, there's
290
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:12.679
no greater investment than the gift of life, and your
291
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:16.679
gift can make a real, lasting difference. So this Christmas,
292
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.600
for just twenty eight dollars, you can save a life,
293
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:21.799
a life that could change the world. And thanks to

great ways to stay connected to her and everything going
311
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:15.480
on there. I thought moderate drinking was harmless, but a
312
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.840
sixty two year review study says it's not true. Says
313
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:21.759
it raises the risk of certain things, including cancer. It
314
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:24.279
doesn't mean that anybody's going to change behavior. I got
315
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.559
to be honest about this when I see these stories
316
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.039
come out, especially when it tries to take a shot
317
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.440
at moderate versions of doing stuff I'm already doing something
318
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:33.159
in moderation.
319
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.039
I already understand that maybe there's.
320
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:38.399
Risk involved, but I enjoy the decision I'm making more
321
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:41.279
than I enjoy the protection, whatever it might be, from
322
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.840
the potential bad outcome. So I thought that was an
323
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:47.559
interesting viral story that studyfindes dot org address that most
324
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:50.759
people are likely to ignore and me outside of telling you,
325
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.120
this is probably also something that I'm likely to forget
326
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:56.759
about and not care about after right about now, now
327
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.279
it's finally over, Starbucks says they don't want to be
328
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.960
on every street corner in places like New York City
329
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.240
or Los Angeles anymore.
330
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:06.200
Obviously, this big sense.
331
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.120
Obviously they can't possibly be making as much money per
332
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:13.519
location as they would be making if they had less locations. Now, granted,
333
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.840
that doesn't mean places like New York and LA aren't
334
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.360
going to pick up the slack and find alternatives to
335
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.720
the Starbucks and the the you know, other coffee shops
336
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:24.600
that are in these areas. But I think it does
337
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.559
make sense from a business standpoint for Starbucks to pull
338
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:29.480
back just a little bit on that sort of thing,
339
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:33.279
as they've essentially become a fast food restaurant more than anything.
340
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.639
Else that people don't sit down and stay anymore. And
341
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:41.159
then finally, and this is insane, Anthony Joshua, the boxer
342
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.080
who beat the crap at a Jake Paul and broke
343
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.360
his jaw, was in a horrible crash, a horrible accident
344
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:50.360
in which two people died in Nigeria. There's details about
345
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.480
this that still seem confusing and you're waiting for more
346
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:56.039
information on it. But two of his best friends, two
347
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.080
of his coaches, lost their lives in a crash. And
348
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:01.720
there's even video I won't play it, you don't need
349
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:04.119
to hear it of him in the back of the
350
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:07.119
car after the crash, before being helped out. Anthony Joshua,
351
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:10.119
who went to the hospital with minor injuries. Just sort
352
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.319
of surreal that that story is in the news so
353
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:15.200
soon after the Jake Paul fight. Craig Collins filling in
354
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:17.039
more coming up on the Danish show, it was.
355
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:22.599

You know, you don't want to get hooked on big pharma.
360
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:37.960
They want me to tell you about this guy named
361
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:43.559
Travis Clark. Travis Clark told Relief Factor that it took
362
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:47.359
him an hour to walk a mile, and today he
363
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.440
told Relief Factor Kane that he can walk four miles
364
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:55.240
in that same hour. Oh yeah, and he began running.
365
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:59.200
I don't know what was his issue before, but he
366
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:01.640
began running, they said, for the first time in a decade.

382
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.400
This is the Dana Show. My name is Greg Collins,
383
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.160
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
384
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.880
stuff out there to talk about. Of course, the US
385
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:05.839
and Venezuela is a big deal, high headline news story,
386
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:10.680
including the drone strike on Venezuela drug facilities that happened
387
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.440
that President Trump was fairly unapologetic about in a good way.
388
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:15.640
I was a fan of this.
389
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.839
When asked a question about the strike and the explosion,
390
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:21.400
He's like, yeah, now that happened, we blew stuff up.
391
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.359
More stuff might get blown up in the field. But
392
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:27.279
it was a good thing for us. This that was
393
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:29.240
loading up the drugs out of the boats that then
394
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:32.480
were coming into our country. And it no longer exists,
395
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.960
so that was good. That's a bigger deal story out there.
396
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:41.440
Of course, ongoing discussions about Ukraine and Russia, and now
397
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.720
there's accusations by Russia toward Ukraine that an attempt on
398
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.240
Vladimir Putin's life was made and that has potentially harmed
399
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.920
the peace negotiations. Ukraine has countered by saying that's not true,
400
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:57.200
and Russia is doing its typical sabotage of certain negotiation things,
401
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.359
by attacking itself or even pretending it got a act
402
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:04.200
when it didn't. Here's the caveat there. And I actually
403
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:05.880
don't want to spend a lot of time talking about this.
404
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:08.240
It's a big story. I'm sure you're hearing about it,
405
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.279
and maybe later in the show I'll do a deeper
406
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:13.799
dive into it. But to me, it's so hard to
407
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:16.799
trust anyone. There was even that interview with Brett Behar
408
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:21.279
where he sat down with Vladimir's Lensky and Bear asked
409
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:25.400
Vladimir's Lensky about all the different ridiculous fraud that takes
410
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:29.920
place in Ukraine that has taken place even during the
411
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:36.240
you know, a war, which demonstrates a pretty significant problem
412
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.000
for Ukraine that people would be willing to steal at
413
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:41.039
a time of.
414
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:42.079
War like this.
415
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.799
But of course the fraudster's fraud all the time. We're
416
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.799
learning that here in the United States. You learn that everywhere.
417
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:52.799
But on that question, Zelensky gave a terrible answer, like
418
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:57.559
a nonsensical a Kamala Harris version of a cyclical. We're
419
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.079
going to let the organizations that check on DAT do
420
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:01.680
their work and check on it. We're not going to
421
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:05.119
stop them, YadA YadA, YadA, and not the Yeah, we
422
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:07.160
have really bad frauds. You don't know who to trust.
423
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.960
Of Course you side with Ukraine since they were attacked
424
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.160
by Russia, and since our country would not want to
425
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:17.759
see Russia expand and take over you know, neighboring countries.
426
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:19.160
You don't want any of that, of course you do.
427
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:21.799
And of course you want peace that's as fair to
428
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.559
Ukraine as possible, even if inevitably they're going to have
429
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.279
to give up territory, just because that's the only way
430
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:29.319
to get there. But as I say all that, I
431
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.160
again remember the totality of the history of that country,
432
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.640
beyond this conflict, who it was and what it's been.
433
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:39.599
As far as you know, fraud and embezzlement and all
434
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:42.440
these things are concerned, and probably a country where the
435
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:44.920
US washed a lot of its own money. All these
436
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:47.160
things are likely to be true. And so it's really
437
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:49.720
hard to think that the one organization that you've been
438
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:52.200
working with so closely, the one country, no matter how
439
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:57.599
much you side with it in this conflict is unlikely
440
00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:59.960
to be telling you the entire truth that there are
441
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.160
likely to be lies from that side too, But none
442
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:04.640
of that is what I actually want to talk about.
443
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.240
I'd actually rather talk about a clip from Joe Rogan's
444
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:12.200
podcast that went very viral. This is on the heels
445
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.400
of the Nick Shirley video that went, of course very viral,
446
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:20.400
and the reason Shirley was so important independent journalists a million,
447
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:23.799
I think subscribers on YouTube before he put this video out,
448
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.240
only like a million and a half views on YouTube
449
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:31.319
according to that platform, but one hundred million plus views
450
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.279
on Twitter. And this is kind of I think where
451
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.039
Rogan is going, the censorship of society at a time
452
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:42.000
when technology allows all of us to rise to the
453
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.920
top of the news totem pull and do something that
454
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:49.240
mainstream media should have been doing, that local news media
455
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:52.119
should have been doing and didn't do. Visit all these
456
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:58.039
locations that are potentially very fraudulent places in Minnesota, taking
457
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:01.799
millions of dollars for childcare and autism care and everything else,
458
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:04.720
and not doing any of that work at all. A
459
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:07.720
YouTuber was capable of doing more in twenty four hours
460
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:10.759
than media was willing to do. If not capable to
461
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.000
do for quite a bit longer. But here's part of
462
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:15.880
what Rogan said. There's a bad word in here that
463
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.200
we cleaned up, so I will definitely have to skip
464
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.119
over that bit. But a lot of really interesting stuff
465
00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:21.200
I said here with.
466
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.720
Now Elon purchased Twitter, and I don't say this lightly.
467
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:25.640
I think he changed the course of civilization.
468
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:26.440
I really do.
469
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:28.880
I think we were on our way to this weird
470
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:34.240
dystopian censor censorship complex that was already moving. We had
471
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:39.160
already had intelligence agencies that were contacting Twitter. We know
472
00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:42.680
this through the Twitter files, and they were banning certain
473
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:46.000
people that weren't saying incorrect things, but they were seeing
474
00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:49.680
things that were inconvenient, and they turned out to all
475
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:52.359
be accurate. All the things that they were warning about,
476
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.039
all the things that they're saying, all turned out to
477
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:58.000
be accurate. They stopped the distribution of the Hunter Biden
478
00:23:58.319 --> 00:23:59.079
laptop story.
479
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:00.279
Yeah, and I'll stop it right there.
480
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.200
He uses that as one example of what he's saying
481
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:03.880
that there's a lot of things that turned out to
482
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.279
be accurate and true from the quote unquote conspiracy theorists
483
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.680
that we're all getting silenced and having their platforms shrunk
484
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:14.160
on social media. What's funny about that. I wasn't deep
485
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:17.519
diving into the world of conspiracy theory at the time,
486
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:20.400
but I certainly was giving my opinion and I was
487
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:22.880
on a radio station in Illinois at the moment. My
488
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:25.640
social media feeds, I think were censored. And the only
489
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:28.200
reason I think that is because in the last year,
490
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:31.359
every time I post anything on any of my radio
491
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:33.640
craigse on social media if you want to find me
492
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.119
not a huge following anywhere, but anytime I post anything
493
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:41.720
like a picture, just you know, text posts something that's
494
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:44.839
not even really valuable, Facebook and some of the other
495
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.680
places tell me my reach has been extended, like hey,
496
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:50.079
just letting you know we've expanded the reach you have
497
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:53.240
because you're posting such quality content. I need to take
498
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:55.279
a photo of that and put that up on social
499
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:58.799
media itself. It's happened multiple times this year, and I've
500
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:01.400
probably been lazy than I've been in a while on
501
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:05.079
social media, so I'm doing less. But somehow this is
502
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:09.039
quality content. I think because of how long my platform
503
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:11.359
and a lot of platforms that are very little, I
504
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:14.400
got censored because we were saying, as Rogan calls it
505
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:19.480
inconvenient stuff, stuff that was inevitably true but not necessarily
506
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:22.359
favored by these outlets. Rogan goes on though, to talk
507
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:24.519
about how big of an impact Elon Musk has had.
508
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:28.079
Totally accurate story and to stop that accurate story is wild.
509
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:30.720
Yes, that is scary stuff. Yes, it is that.
510
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:35.640
If Elon didn't purchase Twitter, we would have just had
511
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:37.440
to deal with that kind of stuff. That would be
512
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.599
and it would accelerate, It wouldn't stay where it is,
513
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:42.920
it would ramp up, it would get more. They were
514
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:48.480
started to using the term malinformation, so there's misinformation, disinformation,
515
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:54.440
and then malinformation. Malinformation is factual information that might cause harm.
516
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:57.200
Yeah, that's crazy that they were using those terms and
517
00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:59.920
doing that, but that is absolutely true. Elon Musk buy
518
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:02.759
Twitter and allowing it to be a platform that was
519
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:06.200
uncensored comparative to the other ones. There's still some censorship
520
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:09.240
that exists there, but very very little. And as Elon said,
521
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:11.079
when he bought it, he was essentially only going to
522
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:14.559
censor out what would be illegal anyway, like full on
523
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.119
threats on other people's lives and things. There would be
524
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.440
you know, repercussions to that kind of behavior, but other
525
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:24.279
than that, almost nothing. A mainstream media went crazy about
526
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:26.759
it and told you how all of it was, you know,
527
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.119
essentially allowing the worst of society and people who are
528
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.079
white supremacis, Nazis, or what have you. They got a
529
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:36.920
voice back by Twitter and Nick Shirley. One hundred million
530
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:41.000
plus views on Twitter, one point five million on YouTube
531
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:42.880
or something like that. And I know the views are
532
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:45.839
calculated differently. I know that one hundred million views on
533
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.319
Twitter doesn't necessarily mean one hundred million people watched all
534
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:51.839
of that video or even all that much of that video,
535
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:54.720
but they're at least aware of the story because they
536
00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:56.799
saw some version of it in their feed and some
537
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:01.160
version of information there. Sharing information at that scale is
538
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:04.160
vitally important to our society being able to protect itself,
539
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:08.119
especially when that information winds up being true and valuable,
540
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:10.960
which I think will be a byproduct of it being viral.
541
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:14.400
Most people that I've talked to about this in response
542
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.119
to all these positives and what they call it, like
543
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:21.839
maga media praise of Nick Shirley, which is hilarious that
544
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:24.359
they call it that because a YouTuber with a million
545
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:28.160
followers put out something that is easily demonstrated to be
546
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:32.319
true and easily demonstrated to be a horrible outing of
547
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:36.039
the ridiculousness of fraud in Minnesota that we all knew existed.
548
00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:39.680
But people are attacking it for being white supremacist or
549
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:42.759
some crazy thing, which is insane to me. But it
550
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.799
definitely evens the playing field in a way that is
551
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.839
necessary for the liars to think they can't get away
552
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.119
with the lie. And our society only changes when the
553
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:54.640
liars think they can't get away with the lie. It
554
00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:57.599
doesn't change when you catch a few liars and actually
555
00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:59.720
the rest of them don't get caught, or you know
556
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:01.640
that they did something bad, but you.
557
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.039
Benefit, so you keep silent on it.
558
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:06.640
It's the fact that the future lie will not only
559
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:10.480
be outed, but that eventually there will be hopefully consequences
560
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:12.759
to pay. And that's something that I think that Scott
561
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:14.920
Jennings and a lot of other people have been talking about. Now,
562
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.640
we can't just have this be the end of this story.
563
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.599
You can't just have the depth of fraud, the amount
564
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:24.880
of ways in which Tim Walls feels uniquely connected to it,
565
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:27.880
or ilhan Omar or anyone else. You have to have
566
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:30.440
that fully investigated and people have to go to jail.
567
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:33.640
People have to be held responsible. This can't be a
568
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:37.160
whoopsie are bad mistake the way that again, as I
569
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.559
said to open the show, there is millions and billions,
570
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.599
hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud that take place
571
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.960
throughout the country every single year. And so when people
572
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:51.000
are asking, how do we get back to a place
573
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:53.480
where you trust each other, where things get better.
574
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:55.920
You hold the bad guys responsible.
575
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:58.519
You demonstrate to the other bad guys that they won't
576
00:28:58.519 --> 00:29:00.920
be allowed to do this, and that if they do it,
577
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.599
they'll actually have to go to jail. It's very similar
578
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:06.000
to the deterrent that exists right now for people who
579
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:09.279
are here illegally. By sending people back home, you are
580
00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:12.000
demonstrating that the country is no longer wide open to
581
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:15.119
whatever you want, and we have severely impacted the amount
582
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:17.119
of people who are showing up at our border right now.
583
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:20.200
That is a deterrent. That's goal is to change the
584
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:22.880
way things are happening in society. We have to do
585
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:25.000
this as far as the people who are doing bad
586
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.480
things and defrauding our government in all kinds of ways,
587
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.799
defrauding us the taxpayers. Even if those people are eventually
588
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.599
the government itself and all the ridiculous kickbacks that we
589
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:36.160
all think they're getting. One last thing before I take
590
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:39.400
a break. I love this story. Producer Steven sent me this.
591
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:43.400
President Trump hosted Pope Leo's brother at a private party
592
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:43.960
last night.
593
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:45.039
Hilarious.
594
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:47.640
Pope Leo has gone out there and said some things
595
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:50.960
that are easily described as woke, especially for the Catholic
596
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:56.079
Church in recent days. Pope Leo's brother, who's from Illinois,
597
00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.960
is a big fan of President Trump, so Trump and
598
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.240
in him to and apparently had a party that he
599
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:04.640
was a part of at mar Lago, which is just
600
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:07.119
it's just so funny to me that that sort of
601
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:09.920
thing happens because you have a US president, you have
602
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:14.160
someone or excuse me, a US pope, a born pope,
603
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:16.119
and you have someone who has access to some of
604
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:18.319
the family members, and so why not do it? Why
605
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:20.160
not throw a party, Why not have a bit of
606
00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:23.440
an interaction that involves the brother of the guy who's
607
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.559
currently in charge of the Catholic Church in one weird
608
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.119
way and maybe saying and doing some things that make
609
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:30.880
a lot of people who are followers of the church
610
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:33.720
not all that happy. All right, quick break a lot more.
611
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:36.720

Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show
643

podcast where every update comes with a little dash of
644
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:06.119
not so serious. On YouTube, Apple or wherever you get
645
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:07.079
your podcasts.
646
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:10.119
This is the Danish Show. My name is Craig Collins,
647
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:12.279
filling in thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
648
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.200
stuff to talk about. In about forty minutes, we will
649
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:18.480
chat with a state senator in Texas who says they've
650
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:23.039
uncovered voter fraud in the city of Houston, a big deal,
651
00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:24.920
a big story. We'll also ask him about the Senate
652
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:27.759
race going on in Texas. Paul Bettencourt will be our guest.
653
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.559
In about forty minutes or so, I have that audio
654
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:35.920
of the President welcoming Pope Leo's brother to a private party.
655
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:37.920
Event the other night. It's so funny.
656
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:40.079
I love the fact that Trump is so happy to
657
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:42.880
have the guy there as the actual pope is saying
658
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:46.759
and doing some anti maga, some woke things, some things
659
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:50.559
that feel like they might not necessarily be aligned with
660
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:52.759
the Catholic Church, which is crazy to say, because the
661
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.359
man's the pope. And I was taught by my grandmother
662
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:58.920
a long time ago, may God rest her soul, that every.
663
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:01.240
Pope is to be except because that's the role.
664
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:03.200
The pope is the pope, and you're a Christian of
665
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:05.519
the Catholic so you're supposed to listen to the things
666
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.200
the pope says. Sometimes it's harder than other times. But anyway,
667
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.839
here's Trump saying, welcome to Popelio's brother. And why Trump
668
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:13.720
likes the guy so much.
669
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:15.279
We have a man here, a special man.
670
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:20.960
He is the brother of the pope and his wife Debra,
671
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:22.720
and they're just incredible people.
672
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:24.960
And you know why I like him.
673
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:26.039
Because when the pope.
674
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:29.799
Was selected and they showed a picture of his brother
675
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:32.640
standing in front of the house with Mega.
676
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:34.799
All over it, So I said, I love this guy.
677
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:37.960
So it's great to have you, Lou and Debraah, it's great.
678
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:38.960
We appreciate it.
679
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:40.799
And let's all have a great show.
680
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:42.119
Yeah, let's have a great shown.
681
00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:43.440
Thank you very much.
682
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:45.519
Thank you everybody for doing a great job. Thank you
683
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:47.839
to the Pope's brother for being here. I love that.
684
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.960
I love Trump saying and I liked him because he
685
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:52.960
was maga, and mainstream media tried to attack the brother
686
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:55.640
of the pope from being mega, which is weird in
687
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:57.720
and of itself to somehow think that that's a bad
688
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:01.480
thing that someone. And actually he won the popular vote
689
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:03.559
for so a lot of people voted for Trump in
690
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:04.920
the last presidential election.
691
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:08.320
Also, this story is hilarious from producer Steven.
692
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:11.840
Four hundred thousand dollars of lobster was stolen in a
693
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:17.079
seafood heightst that sounds really difficult to execute. It sounds
694
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:18.880
like the kind of thing that's more hassle than it's
695
00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:21.119
actually worth, even if it's four hundred grand.
696
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:22.920
His lobsters were all live.
697
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:25.079
But here is a news report talking about a thing
698
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:26.920
that really happened in our society.
699
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:29.800
Four hundred thousand dollars worth of live lobsters headed for
700
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:31.800
costco were stolen from a.
701
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:35.719
Massachusetts shipping facility last week, the CEO of a logistics
702
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:38.679
industry trade group. So the thief posed as a trucking
703
00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:41.679
company worker, and this is likely part of an organized
704
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:42.960
cargo crime ring.
705
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:45.599
Of course it does. Things like that have sterial numbers.
706
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.599
Again, those are targeted as well, but a little bit
707
00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:49.559
easier to track obviously.
708
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:51.400
You know, Lobster doesn't have a QR code on it.
709
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.559
Lobster we does have QR code onto.
710
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:54.760
You know, track it down.
711
00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:57.519
And this isn't the first time this has happened.
712
00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:01.719
It's the second major seafood theft in December alone. Is crazy.
713
00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:04.079
That's crazy that we have so many different organized versions
714
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:07.400
of theft and chaos and other things going on. Not
715
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:09.920
that we don't know about this in our society, but
716
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.480
that it's gotten so bad that people are stealing four
717
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:15.800
hundred thousand dollars of live lobster by posing as members
718
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:18.079
of a trucking company. And again, I feel like the
719
00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:20.960
hassle there. I'm not telling the criminals how to commit
720
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:23.920
crimes better. That's not the goal, that's not my intention.
721
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:26.840
But the hassle can't be worth it in that grand
722
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:29.480
scheme of things unless you're dropping them off very quickly
723
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:32.159
somewhere else. I wouldn't want to house the live lobster
724
00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:34.920
for any amount of time before I exchange them to
725
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:37.000
some other place. I am trying to be a little
726
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.119
tongue in cheek about how I joke about this, because
727
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:42.480
it's terrible. It's awful to see, you know, that level
728
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:45.360
of crime in so many places in our society, but
729
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:49.239
it's definitely there. And also, again on the list of
730
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.679
things that I would ever steal, which I'm not intent
731
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:55.639
on stealing anything, live lobster would be way at the
732
00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:57.960
bottom for things that you'd actually want to deal with.
733
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:01.360
A post theft out there that I thought were kind
734
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:03.760
of interesting. A bunch of New Year's Eve events have
735
00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:06.280
been canceled around the world, a lot of them for
736
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:10.840
security concerns. Many people are saying after the Bondi Beach
737
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:14.760
attack in Sydney or things like it, that they're concerned
738
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:18.000
that the New Year's Eve parties themselves will be targets
739
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:22.239
for individuals. I've always said this, and I'll say this here.
740
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:26.960
It is much better to keep the event and secure it,
741
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:28.920
and there's a whole lot of ways to do that.
742
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.480
Then cancel the events and let the bad guys win.
743
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:34.840
The bad, horrible people out there who do bad, horrible
744
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:39.440
things want our society to have to choose between hosting
745
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:43.079
events and not hosting them, essentially handing power to the
746
00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:46.280
people who do the bad things, when the reality is
747
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:48.159
that what we need to do is have a few
748
00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:54.000
veterans stationed outside of places, security teams paid to protect places,
749
00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:56.519
and if someone goes after something, it needs to be
750
00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:59.400
a hard target, not a soft target, and the person
751
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:01.639
who goes after it needs to regret it. If we
752
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:04.599
have enough of that happen in our society, these things
753
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:07.800
will stop, These things will at least become less commonplace.
754
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:11.400
That is always the problem that stares us in the eye,
755
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:14.079
that so many people want to ignore, is that you
756
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:16.880
need to make targets harder, and you need to make
757
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:21.840
people capable of being harmed for trying to harm others
758
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:24.679
without having to be worried that at some point today
759
00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:27.119
you know, the cops show up. You need to have
760
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:31.719
people in place, in positions of capability, with training necessary
761
00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:35.119
to do it to immediately stop threats that just needs
762
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:37.840
to happen. More of our society needs to be like that.
763
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:40.039
That is acceptance of the reality of the world we
764
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:43.000
live in, not this, not the canceling of events because
765
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.719
we're too afraid of trying to do the right thing
766
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:48.039
and protect them the way that we need to. But
767
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:51.039
it's uniquely a shame that I saw that story out
768
00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:52.800
of the UK and at about a bunch of places
769
00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:55.559
about how many events this time of year are being
770
00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:58.000
canceled and how many people might be afraid to even
771
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:02.400
go places in general because that threat risk. I'm afraid
772
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:05.039
to go nowhere because I'm armed, and I think you
773
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:07.599
should be too. A quick break a lot more. Craig
774
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:10.719
Collins filling in on the Dana Show. This is the
775
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:13.719
Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins.
776
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:15.400
Filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A lot of
777
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:17.039
stuff to talk about. D Lash.
778
00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:19.920
Dana Lash radio and x on Twitter are great ways
779
00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:22.119
to stay connected to her and everything going on from
780
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.679
her social media team. She's all over the place, though
781
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:27.280
you can find her everywhere. The first whatever you look for,
782
00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:30.360
Dana is very very famous, so it's very easy to
783
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:32.519
find her at radio Craig Z if you want to
784
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:35.440
find someone who's way less famous than her and occasionally
785
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:39.079
gets to babysit this very cool show. I do love
786
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:44.360
a viral chain of tweets, a viral list of things
787
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:48.159
on x in which a whole bunch of these organizations
788
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:52.199
that are the fraudulent places in Minnesota are simply pictured.
789
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:54.760
You can see how close they all look, and some
790
00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:57.599
of the ridiculous names of some of the organizations. So
791
00:38:57.599 --> 00:38:59.440
I'm gonna get that, get to that in a little bit,
792
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:02.800
because I do really like that. But there's another story
793
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:07.119
out there that seems like it's starting to grow in scope,
794
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:12.480
the amount of people who got fraudulent federal rental assistant payments.
795
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:14.800
At first, I think they told us something like thirty
796
00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:19.159
thousand dead people got some sort of payment. Five point
797
00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:23.679
eight billion dollars in questionable disbursements went out in the
798
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.039
fiscal year of twenty twenty four from the Biden rental
799
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:29.960
assistance program. And now there's an assumption that there's like
800
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:35.039
two hundred thousand dubious rental assistant recipients, a whole bunch
801
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:37.960
of people who might have never lived in any of
802
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:39.840
the places in which they were claiming to live at
803
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:43.400
po boxes, all kinds of things to demonstrate how this
804
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:47.039
money is getting stolen and then moved other places, but
805
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:50.639
at least thirty thousand dead people apparently needed rental assistance
806
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:53.599
in twenty twenty four. That's got to be tough to
807
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:55.679
be not alive and then also have to still pay
808
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:58.199
your rent. That's got to be crazy to deal with
809
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:01.360
that as only some but he can if they're defrauding
810
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:01.719
the government.
811
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:02.599
All right, let's go through it.
812
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:06.039
This list of all the different tweets on here that
813
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:10.000
I found pretty amusing. AO Children's Center is one that
814
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:13.960
definitely is not operating. It seems Lucky child Care Center,
815
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:16.360
which doesn't seem lucky at all as they have a
816
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:21.599
ton of overgrown grass in the area. Motherly Love Daycare, Inc.
817
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:24.280
Is another one. It is connected to a meat and
818
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:27.599
grocery market, which you know how that feels appropriate You
819
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:30.320
go go get some Motherly Love childcare right next to
820
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:34.679
grabbing some groceries from the Halal meat market. Star children
821
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:38.840
Care Center, Apple Childcare Center is also one that exists
822
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:43.280
Future Scholars Childcare, which seems like it's people that are
823
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.559
definitely hoping for a lot of great results to their
824
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:50.559
non existent childcare. I Care Child Center was one of
825
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:53.960
my favorite ones that was out there, and also Rising
826
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:59.360
Stars Children LLC, which has absolutely no building whatsoever. The
827
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:03.679
address appears to be close to a listing for a
828
00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:06.760
home that was for sale online, but not actually at it,
829
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:09.880
So it seems like someone adjusted the address based on
830
00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:12.480
what they saw online to a place that doesn't exist
831
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:14.039
at all. So when you zoom in, you just see
832
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:18.719
an empty street and nothing. So really, hopefully rising stars
833
00:41:18.719 --> 00:41:22.119
are going to be cared for and groomed on that
834
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.320
busy highway street that they're claiming as an area. But
835
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:27.719
the list goes on and on. There's so many crazy
836
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.639
ones and it just seems like the kind of thing
837
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:34.199
and Minnesota has known about this for so long that
838
00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:37.360
you couldn't possibly have believed, Like you can't possibly think
839
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:40.039
that the amount of government people necessary to okay this
840
00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:44.559
believe these things were real. And by the way, one
841
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:47.440
of the other crazy things that happened recently in Minnesota,
842
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:51.199
they have taken down the childcare licensing page that was
843
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:55.159
publicly available information that allowed for a lot of people
844
00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:58.280
to look into these places and allowed for Nick Sureley,
845
00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:01.119
the YouTuber, to visit a bunch of the places that
846
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:05.559
were likely to be fraudulent areas and fraudulent childcare and whatnot.
847
00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:09.840
It's now completely down, and the statement on the page
848
00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:12.000
says that there's a high amount of volume and traffic
849
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:14.239
and so they're working on getting the website back up,
850
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:16.960
but it definitely seems like they're hiding things and they're
851
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:20.079
terrified of what is to come with more and more
852
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:23.199
people potentially looking into this. All of this is to
853
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:27.840
set up audio of the owner of the Quality Leering Center,
854
00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:32.400
the infamous place that misspelled its learning in its name
855
00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:35.760
and then didn't fix it, even though they've gotten millions
856
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:38.519
of dollars in money from the government. They thought that
857
00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:42.039
it was fine with the one sign that's misspelled that nobody.
858
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:44.599
Cares, not a big deal. That guy didn't interview.
859
00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:48.880
So not only did that establishment have kids at it yesterday,
860
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:52.480
which felt like an immediate response to the news coverage
861
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:55.480
and an attempt to pretend as though what happened on
862
00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:59.320
Monday is what you can assume is happening all the time,
863
00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:01.679
even though the reality is that probably wait a couple
864
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:03.480
weeks and no one's going to be showing up there again,
865
00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:05.599
and many of the people in the neighborhoods that they've
866
00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:08.559
never seen kids there. But anyway, somebody showed up said
867
00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:10.480
he was the play. The guy who runs it says
868
00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:13.039
they operate all the time, says, where are the people
869
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.320
that are checking to see if this is legit? Et cetera,
870
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:18.519
et cetera. I'm not afraid of playing the news and
871
00:43:18.559 --> 00:43:20.559
playing anybody on any side of it. So this is
872
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:24.119
a guy saying all this is lies, all this is crazy,
873
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:28.440
and the YouTuber is just targeting Somalians because of racism
874
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:28.960
or something.
875
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:30.920
But here we go. Here's the way he goes about
876
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:31.800
trying to say all this.
877
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:35.920
He does sound somewhat reasonable in the things he's saying,
878
00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:38.800
but that's the point. He's doing this on purpose because
879
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:41.360
he knows how ridiculous it is to try to pretend
880
00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:44.079
to the place he's in charge of air Quotes is
881
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:47.840
actually a real establishment taking care of kids, even though
882
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:50.480
it's been in trouble a tremendous amount of times in
883
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:53.159
the last few years for definitely not doing what they
884
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:53.760
claim they're doing.
885
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:54.239
But here we go.
886
00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:57.400
What would you say to Nick Shirley, the YouTuber if
887
00:43:57.400 --> 00:43:59.960
he was standing in front of you himself.
888
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:01.239
But I do have something.
889
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:03.480
I guess that rhetoric it's if it's gonna be a
890
00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:07.360
journalist just be have a moral compass, like do what
891
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:08.239
you do correctly.
892
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:10.480
Crazy if you catch business down on fraud.
893
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:13.920
No one here is with that, or well, we don't
894
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:15.039
support that as a community.
895
00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:17.920
I don't support that myself. I was going to I'm
896
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:18.880
not for fraud.
897
00:44:19.079 --> 00:44:19.199
Uh.
898
00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:22.880
The notion that hey are certain that's of somebody got hot,
899
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:25.639
so all of us supporting It's like no no one
900
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:29.159
in any community any mishaps that happened. There's the community
901
00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:30.880
obviously doesn't want that to happen. He's a stand on
902
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:31.559
all of our names.
903
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:33.599
I love that he called it a mishap, by the way,
904
00:44:33.599 --> 00:44:35.559
because if you're trying to dive deep into the things
905
00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:38.119
that this guy is saying and how he's defending himself
906
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:38.639
and saying.
907
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:40.960
Of course it's not fraud. It's a bunch of kids here.
908
00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:43.400
Look at the performative thing that we've set up for
909
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:44.960
today to make everybody.
910
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:46.920
And we've invited news and media.
911
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:48.599
Here because we want them to know that we're a
912
00:44:48.599 --> 00:44:50.719
real establishment and we're anti this.
913
00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:52.639
But then he calls it a mishap.
914
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:56.719
Billions of dollars of fraud feels like it's a bigger
915
00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:58.559
thing than a mishap. And I love that he says,
916
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:02.760
I'm not for it. Who supports fraud? What version of
917
00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:05.519
a conversation would come out there and say the opposite?
918
00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:09.199
I mean, what moron ever admits to their crime even
919
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:11.760
when they're super caught in the crime, when it's definitively
920
00:45:11.800 --> 00:45:15.320
obvious that they're lying. What what people out there actually
921
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:17.880
plead guilty? Very very few of them? If Anny, he's
922
00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:20.280
definitely going the other road, and it's ridiculous.
923
00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:20.960
Let's let it continue.
924
00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:22.880
Can see we don't want that to happening. We don't
925
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:25.199
we don't take part in that. We don't like that,
926
00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:28.599
we don't want that nuck colemedities. But just to say, hey, sorry,
927
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:30.199
I come to God, so they must all do it?
928
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:32.840
And I feel like that's what he's doing. That's I'm
929
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:33.400
not a venant.
930
00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:36.960
Two ten pm may not be your typical daycare hours,
931
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:38.559
so can you explain why it is?
932
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:43.079
The reason for that is we're after school hours, so
933
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:45.400
most of our clients and not most of our highs.
934
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:48.000
All of our clients is after school hours, so schools
935
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:51.320
earliest dismissal would be two fifteenth to thirty ish and
936
00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:53.639
the latest dismissal would be up to like four thirty
937
00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:56.599
ish four forty is so that's would archists come to us.
938
00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:58.519
We don't have anyone in the morning.
939
00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:00.960
I wish they entn't even further that. They're like, we
940
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:04.239
are one am to ten am. Those are our hours.
941
00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:06.599
I don't know why anyone's not coming during our regular hours.
942
00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:10.360
We are the overnight childcare service that helps people who
943
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:12.840
need to check in their kids overnight. The other thing
944
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.199
that's funny about this, as he's saying it, and as
945
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:18.840
there is activity at the quality Leering Center, he did
946
00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:22.159
say the reason for the lack of changing the sign
947
00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:23.599
is just that they didn't think it was a big
948
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:25.679
deal and the graphic designer was the one who made
949
00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:27.800
the mistake. But nonethe last the thing I love is
950
00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:30.880
it's still not ninety nine kids, as Nick Shirley pointed
951
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:33.639
out when he confronted the business and no one was
952
00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:36.199
there to open the doors. It's supposed to be ninety
953
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:39.679
nine children that are being taken care of daily according
954
00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:43.280
to the government information that makes them get millions of
955
00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:46.760
dollars in funding. And it's just one dude, one dude
956
00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:49.760
in a T shirt with a coat on because it's Minnesota,
957
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:53.519
standing there and describing how his business is legitimate. If
958
00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:56.920
they are making millions of dollars off the government, you
959
00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:59.880
would think that they would actually have a ton of employees,
960
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:02.199
that there'd be a bunch of people there to take
961
00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:04.480
care of the ninety nine kids, and then there'd be
962
00:47:04.480 --> 00:47:06.519
a bunch of different other services, you know, food and
963
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:10.119
whatnot that comes in, and a bunch of the places
964
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:13.119
that cater to these businesses that say they're taking care
965
00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:16.679
of children or the elderly are actually family members of
966
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:18.800
the people who are running the facility in the first place.
967
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:21.920
So that's pretty convenient that the catering service I get
968
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.320
is just my relative who apparently is a really great
969
00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:28.039
cook and deserves to be paid. They're millions of dollars
970
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:32.599
for the food they're making for our establishment or our organization.
971
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:38.360
It's just crazy, the unapologeticness of this fraud and now
972
00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:41.280
the stupidity of trying to attempt to pretend as though
973
00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:46.320
it's not happening, like they're offending the American people. Multiple
974
00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:48.880
times in the short span of time that this story
975
00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:51.800
has been a thing that's been in the national consciousness
976
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:54.960
and not just something that was more locally something people
977
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:57.480
talked about. As I said, they've been doing reports on
978
00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:01.079
this occasionally in Minnesota for years. They haven't been talking
979
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:04.199
about it recently. Apparently no one in mainstream media cared
980
00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:06.800
if any of those problems they noticed in twenty eighteen
981
00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:09.960
or nineteen ever got fixed. But the other thing that's
982
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:12.440
so offensive is how they think this will work. They
983
00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:15.039
think people will believe it, and they've seen this before.
984
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:17.679
One of the childcare places that got in a lot
985
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:21.719
of trouble in Minnesota years ago actually did have performative
986
00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:25.599
versions of parents coming with children, pretending to drop them
987
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:28.039
off at the child care facility, and then coming back
988
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:31.239
shortly after the drop off to pick them back up.
989
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:33.440
And the thing they found out was that many of
990
00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:36.679
these parents were also getting money from the childcare company.
991
00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:39.320
They were essentially the quote unquote employees who were just
992
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:42.320
pretending as though their kids went there in case someone
993
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:45.360
was watching the occasional visit that drop in, you know,
994
00:48:45.440 --> 00:48:47.840
to check and see if something is going on, if
995
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:48.719
something is legitimate.
996
00:48:48.760 --> 00:48:49.800
That's how this works.
997
00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:52.280
If you think there's attention, you might do it for
998
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:53.800
a couple of weeks, and then they'll go right back
999
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:56.840
to having absolutely nobody there. When they think anyone is
1000
00:48:56.920 --> 00:48:59.679
no longer paying attention. The bad news for them because
1001
00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:02.320
of Nick Surely's of the world is someone probably will
1002
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:05.800
always be paying attention. Who that is might change, but
1003
00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:08.119
the fact that you know everyone's going to forget this
1004
00:49:08.199 --> 00:49:11.679
story seems highly unlikely. All right, quick break a lot more.
1005
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:13.960
Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.
1006
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:17.719
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
1007
00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:19.639
It's time for Dana's quick five.
1008
00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:22.239
That's right, it's time for a quick five on the
1009
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:26.039
Dana Show. D Lash Dana Lash Radio, an x on Twitter.
1010
00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:28.599
Great ways to stay connected to her. My name is
1011
00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:32.559
Craig Collins, filling in. Bees now have legal rights. Not
1012
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:35.159
here in the United States. This happened in the Amazon
1013
00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:40.079
stingless bees specifically one of the oldest bee species in
1014
00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:42.800
the world. I needed to be protected, according to some
1015
00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:44.679
of the people who live there. And one of the
1016
00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:48.000
dumbest things I've read in this year as far as
1017
00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:51.440
news goes, the bees now have the right to a
1018
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.559
healthy habitat, to certain life conditions.
1019
00:49:55.559 --> 00:49:56.880
And here's my favorite one.
1020
00:49:57.079 --> 00:50:00.320
The ability to lawyer up if the bees feel And
1021
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:02.599
I don't know how you'd assess this that something has
1022
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:05.119
happened that's unfair to them, or I guess someone who
1023
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:07.679
wants to speak for the bees feels as though they
1024
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:08.679
need to sue somebody.
1025
00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:10.800
They can now do it in the Amazon.
1026
00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:14.400
It is a world first, the first animal or species
1027
00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:16.840
of animal that is capable of getting its own lawyer
1028
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:20.320
to defend itself and speak for the collection of bees
1029
00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:23.239
that can take a class act in lawsuit against I
1030
00:50:23.280 --> 00:50:25.760
don't know who the neighbor for being a jerk, but
1031
00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:29.519
this is a real thing, an actual story somewhere beyond stupid,
1032
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:31.519
and the people who are a part of it are
1033
00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:33.320
saying they hope that it's the first of a whole
1034
00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:36.800
bunch of other animals getting legal rights and lawyers just
1035
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:38.480
finding a new way to make a ton of money.
1036
00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:40.480
I love the amount of times that I get an
1037
00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:42.559
email saying I was a part of a class.
1038
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:45.159
Action lawsuit because of Facebook or something.
1039
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:47.079
And I'm about to get ten dollars in the mail,
1040
00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:49.480
which I don't even think it's actually come all that often.
1041
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:51.719
I don't think I get the check, probably because I
1042
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:54.039
don't actually give them my information to get the check,
1043
00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:56.480
because I'd rather skip the ten bucks than give an
1044
00:50:56.519 --> 00:50:58.719
organization I don't know who it is of this kind
1045
00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:00.920
of stuff. But now apparently of the stingless Bees and
1046
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:04.239
Amazon in the Amazon can be added to that list
1047
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:06.119
if their Facebook pages are screwed up.
1048
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:08.480
Man oh man, how those lawsuits are going to grow?
1049
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:10.760
How stupid this is?
1050
00:51:11.159 --> 00:51:14.039
Other things out there that I saw were interesting. Beyonce
1051
00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:16.800
is now a billionaire. I don't care about this story
1052
00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:19.679
at all, but someone out there might. Beyonce is the
1053
00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:23.079
latest person to reach a billion dollars, which means that
1054
00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:26.800
California now officially wants to tax her because they want
1055
00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:29.800
to cover up their own fraud. Good luck to all
1056
00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:31.719
the people out there that now want to take more
1057
00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:33.239
money from Beyonce because she's too rich.
1058
00:51:33.559 --> 00:51:34.320
She's terrible.
1059
00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:35.920
We got to make sure to take all her money
1060
00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:37.519
away because of the success she had.
1061
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:38.599
I think that's the narrative.
1062
00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:42.719
On the left right, defenseless Uber Eats robot was attacked
1063
00:51:43.159 --> 00:51:45.800
by two people. The people were dressed as a cow
1064
00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:49.800
and a Pikachu, which would be the Pokemon. There's so
1065
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:53.039
many stories about this about drones and other things and
1066
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:56.800
Uber Eats robots and stuff that get attacked, they get
1067
00:51:56.880 --> 00:51:59.000
taken down. I guess they're going to need their own
1068
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:01.960
legal defense team too. At some point, which God forbid
1069
00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:03.880
we ever get there. But I do think that this
1070
00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:07.440
is pretty hilarious. There's a viral video of two costumed
1071
00:52:07.480 --> 00:52:11.199
individuals taking out an Uber Eats robot and somebody who
1072
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:14.159
didn't get their food. Because this will be the inevitable
1073
00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:17.440
buy product of a whole bunch more robots and drones
1074
00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:20.599
in our society. And by the way, one last thing
1075
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:23.679
about the drone delivery. I know Amazon's a big fan
1076
00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:26.480
of this. I know they've been touting the ability for
1077
00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:29.360
it to happen in places like Dallas or parts of
1078
00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:32.039
California and whatnot. Arizona, I think, is doing it, and
1079
00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:34.039
more and more places are going to have it. The
1080
00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:38.400
whole point of immediate delivery by drone to me is
1081
00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:40.800
that as a married man, I forgot something. There's an
1082
00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:43.400
anniversary that I screwed up on, some sort of event
1083
00:52:43.719 --> 00:52:45.960
that I was supposed to buy something for that I
1084
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:47.679
have to look the missus dead in the eyes and go,
1085
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:50.960
of course, I bought you that thing for that thing
1086
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:52.840
that you want to go to, and then I have
1087
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:54.960
to order it by drone and you pay the extra
1088
00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:57.639
money for it to fly into the backyard. My favorite
1089
00:52:57.679 --> 00:53:00.280
idea in that thought is that it also have to
1090
00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:03.039
distract the misses. Well, the drone delivers the thing that
1091
00:53:03.079 --> 00:53:06.239
I claimed I've had for a while, and that feels challenging.
1092
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:09.559
So maybe the first thing I buy via drone is
1093
00:53:09.639 --> 00:53:11.920
like the three D goggle headset, so that I can
1094
00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:14.000
tell her to watch a movie in the three D goggles,
1095
00:53:14.159 --> 00:53:15.760
and then that's where I get the other thing delivered
1096
00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:18.280
by drone. But by and large, I think I can
1097
00:53:18.320 --> 00:53:21.519
wait the extra day for whatever my item is. If
1098
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:23.280
I'm not going to get in trouble from the misses
1099
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:26.239
because I've forgotten something, I think I can wait one
1100
00:53:26.320 --> 00:53:28.400
or two days for someone to deliver it the old
1101
00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:31.360
fashioned way and not have to fly drones everywhere in
1102
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:34.719
the country. It feels like it's a step unnecessary, and again,
1103
00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:37.480
the only time it's valuable likely to also be the
1104
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:40.280
time I get in trouble for definitely have forgotten that thing.
1105
00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:43.760
Quick Break Senator Paul Bentencourt out of Texas. Coming up
1106
00:53:43.800 --> 00:53:46.079

00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:01.920
This is the Dana Show. Well, my name is Craig Collins,
1112
00:54:01.960 --> 00:54:04.239
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
1113
00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:06.559
stuff out there to talk about. I will welcome a
1114
00:54:06.599 --> 00:54:09.239
guest to the show. He is a state senator in
1115
00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:12.880
Texas out of Houston. His name is Senator Paul Bettencourt.
1116
00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:14.920
He is also a host of one of the most
1117
00:54:14.920 --> 00:54:17.800
influential radio shows in the state. As I've heard him
1118
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:20.360
and some of his co hosts describe it, The Amigos,
1119
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:22.960
which was which is one of the longest running radio
1120
00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:27.480
shows at a KSV AM in Texas. Often all three
1121
00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:30.079
of them describe and discuss some of the craziest things
1122
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:33.800
going on in the world of Texas state politics and beyond.
1123
00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:36.199
Welcome to the show, Senator pettur bettan Court.
1124
00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:40.280
How are you doing doing great, Craig, Steve's got us
1125
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:42.960
all cranked up on the rolling stone, so let's get moving.
1126
00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:46.280
Yes, he does, it sounds great. I want to ask
1127
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:49.119
you about the thing that you put out yesterday, A
1128
00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:51.880
big story in the world of Texas and probably a
1129
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:55.000
bigger story within the context of some of the other
1130
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:58.159
types of fraud that are being outed at a national
1131
00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:01.400
ever level, whether it's you know, insurance fraud and whatnot
1132
00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:04.679
in places like Minnesota. But before we get there, I
1133
00:55:04.679 --> 00:55:06.800
would be remiss if I didn't ask about the state
1134
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:10.239
Senate race going on in Texas, identified as one of
1135
00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:13.280
the ten big races this year, one that will determine
1136
00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:16.760
the power of the Senate in the future. This race
1137
00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:20.400
is against quite a few different politicians, but one of
1138
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:24.039
the biggest names sadly in the race is Jasmine Crockett.
1139
00:55:24.360 --> 00:55:26.960
What do you want to say about John Cornyon, Ken Paxton,
1140
00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:29.920
Wesley Hunt, who's my favorite personally by the way, or
1141
00:55:29.960 --> 00:55:33.960
anybody running for the Senate spot that's open in twenty
1142
00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:34.519
twenty six.
1143
00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:38.199
Well, first off, you're right, Craig, this is a blockbuster
1144
00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:42.239
race and this is going to be much closer to
1145
00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:46.880
like the how competitive things can get in Texas in
1146
00:55:46.880 --> 00:55:51.079
twenty eighteen than it is to Trump runaway victory like
1147
00:55:51.119 --> 00:55:55.719
we had in twenty twenty four the Democrats. As you said,
1148
00:55:56.079 --> 00:55:59.679
Jasmin Crockett is the front runner. However, the guy that
1149
00:55:59.880 --> 00:56:03.159
is probably the strongest crossover vote is a guy named
1150
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:07.280
James Tallarico, who has quite a following even with like
1151
00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:11.280
Joe Rogan and others. So it's the question of whether
1152
00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:14.360
the super leftist progressive comes out of the primary, which
1153
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:17.920
is what you would predict in Democrat politics at this point,
1154
00:56:18.239 --> 00:56:21.760
or a more moderate liberal. Well, let's drop the word moderate,
1155
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:26.599
let's say liberal. Okay, you know Tall Rico. Now the
1156
00:56:26.639 --> 00:56:31.239
Republican side, it's a Donnybrook. Now, when this all broke,
1157
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:33.639
I was one of the first people that stood up
1158
00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:37.000
and said, if I had Cornan's popularity numbers, I would
1159
00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:39.760
not be running for reelection because they're low, okay, by
1160
00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:45.000
any measurement, whether it's twenty eight or thirty three percent. Now,
1161
00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:49.800
General Paxson, who's the state attorney general, came in with
1162
00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:53.320
a big head esteem and some polls close to fifty percent.
1163
00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:57.199
He's down to roughly about the same percentage. And then,
1164
00:56:57.280 --> 00:57:01.960
as you mentioned, Wesley Hunt to throw caution into the
1165
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:04.920
wind by throwing his head into the ring, and he
1166
00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:09.719
is running third place, and his strategy is obviously waiting
1167
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:13.239
for one of the other two to make a mistake
1168
00:57:14.320 --> 00:57:17.360
or a circumstance so he can get in the runoff.
1169
00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:19.679
Were clearly there's going to be a runoff on the
1170
00:57:19.719 --> 00:57:22.480
Republican side, right now, you'd have to say it's the
1171
00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:26.679
incumbent Cornan and the incumbent Attorney General Paxton. But anything
1172
00:57:26.719 --> 00:57:28.559
can happen in Texas politics.
1173
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:30.360
That is absolutely true.
1174
00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:32.119
And by the way, if people don't know this, the
1175
00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:34.719
runoff would then extend this race all the way until
1176
00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:37.159
I think May of next year for us to even
1177
00:57:37.239 --> 00:57:40.320
know who the candidate would be on the Republican side
1178
00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:42.760
of the aisle that is hopefully likely to win the
1179
00:57:42.760 --> 00:57:45.519
state of Texas. A Democrat has not won a statewide
1180
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:48.880
race in a very long time. But as you said, unfortunately,
1181
00:57:48.920 --> 00:57:51.719
whether it's name recognition with the insanity that is Jasmine
1182
00:57:51.719 --> 00:57:55.239
Crockett or James tall Rico, who to the left is
1183
00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:58.199
moderate as you also describe, it is likely to put
1184
00:57:58.239 --> 00:57:59.800
up a better fight. Is there any other reason you
1185
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:02.840
think that would exist? Is it just the unpopularity of
1186
00:58:02.840 --> 00:58:05.960
the two leading candidates for the Conservative Party? Like I
1187
00:58:06.039 --> 00:58:08.480
really do like Wesley Hunt, and I want to say
1188
00:58:08.519 --> 00:58:11.840
that again, he's a black man, which doesn't matter, and
1189
00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:14.840
he says it doesn't matter. And I just mentioned it
1190
00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:18.000
because for some reason a lot of liberal idiots care
1191
00:58:18.039 --> 00:58:20.719
about it. But then also he's a you know, a
1192
00:58:20.800 --> 00:58:24.440
member of the military. Just a really interesting candidate as
1193
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:28.960
far as Texas Republican politics go. So is the reason
1194
00:58:28.960 --> 00:58:31.400
that it's such a close race just that the candidate's
1195
00:58:31.400 --> 00:58:33.840
being put forward on the right or not really that strong.
1196
00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:39.719
Well, everybody has a lane. You know, you've got a
1197
00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:43.239
problem that in a race like this that gets shammed up.
1198
00:58:43.440 --> 00:58:45.320
See one of the problems that Wesley has. And this
1199
00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:49.800
comes to no surprise to a national Republican audience. Quite frankly,
1200
00:58:49.840 --> 00:58:52.519
the federal Congress doesn't do a lot, you know, yeah,
1201
00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:55.000
I mean, Craig, you know, we did pass that one
1202
00:58:55.079 --> 00:58:58.719
beautiful big bill. It's a beautiful bill. It's a beautiful bioth.
1203
00:58:58.760 --> 00:59:01.559
Thank you for passing, right, But it's.
1204
00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:04.719
A tax bill, so it doesn't go into effect immediately.
1205
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:07.679
You know, I passed the largest property tax kit in
1206
00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:11.199
the nation's history, is about twenty two billion dollars. That
1207
00:59:11.239 --> 00:59:14.119
stuff doesn't immediately go into effect. So you don't really
1208
00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:19.320
have anything you're quote running on, okay, and so it's
1209
00:59:19.320 --> 00:59:22.079
hard to have a differentiator. And that's the same problem
1210
00:59:22.119 --> 00:59:26.760
and all these races across the country because the House
1211
00:59:26.760 --> 00:59:30.000
of Representative margin is razor thin and they rarely can
1212
00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:34.440
get anything big done. Now, Cornan's claim to fame would be,
1213
00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:38.880
you know, bringing in Republicans you know, you know judges
1214
00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:42.079
and then preventing you know, bad ones during the Biden administration.
1215
00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:46.400
And uh, you know, Paxton, you know, had an eighty
1216
00:59:46.440 --> 00:59:50.400
to eighty five percent win rate against the federal government
1217
00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:55.280
during Biden's administration when Texas was suing to stop everything.
1218
00:59:55.760 --> 01:00:00.440
So it's a it's a race worth watching, but no chance,
1219
01:00:00.440 --> 01:00:04.239
in my opinion that it's not a runoff. So you'll
1220
01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:06.880
have this, you and Dean, and we'll have this for
1221
01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:08.800
the Grismill for at least six more months.
1222
01:00:09.519 --> 01:00:12.519
Her mostly me only so little. But anyway, know.
1223
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:15.159
You only occasionally, all right, when Steven let you in.
1224
01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:16.599
Okay, that's exactly correct.
1225
01:00:16.679 --> 01:00:18.320
Yeah, I just wait outside the door all the time,
1226
01:00:19.039 --> 01:00:21.800
Senator Bettencourt, and see when they let me in other things.
1227
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:23.920
Just quickly you mentioned it, so I do want to
1228
01:00:23.920 --> 01:00:26.840
address it because Texas is not the only state that
1229
01:00:26.880 --> 01:00:29.159
has started doing this. I think Indiana is in the
1230
01:00:29.159 --> 01:00:31.679
news for trying to do this too. But Operation double
1231
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:33.440
Nickel is I think what it was actually called.
1232
01:00:33.480 --> 01:00:34.039
In Texas.
1233
01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:36.480
You found a way to save a whole lot of
1234
01:00:36.519 --> 01:00:40.320
taxpayers money over their property taxes. These are the kind
1235
01:00:40.360 --> 01:00:43.320
of things that might not pay dividends in the course
1236
01:00:43.360 --> 01:00:46.559
of say the next election cycle. But this is probably
1237
01:00:46.599 --> 01:00:49.239
the reason why a lot of people, myself included, are
1238
01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:53.400
moving from Democratic states like Illinois to Republican states like Texas.
1239
01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:55.800
This is a big win in the world of life
1240
01:00:55.840 --> 01:00:58.280
in Texas, correct, right.
1241
01:00:58.159 --> 01:01:00.960
Look when you look at property to which is hot
1242
01:01:01.000 --> 01:01:06.239
toving nationally? Texas used to be the third highest state
1243
01:01:06.320 --> 01:01:09.679
by rate. People might think of it as a millage rate,
1244
01:01:10.119 --> 01:01:14.599
it's a percentage whatever. It was New Jersey, Illinois, and Texas. Now,
1245
01:01:14.840 --> 01:01:18.679
with leadership Lieutenant Governor Patrick, we have plowed fifty one
1246
01:01:18.719 --> 01:01:22.000
billion dollars into property tax relief and we've followed from
1247
01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:26.000
the third highest to we're now in the teams now.
1248
01:01:26.159 --> 01:01:29.320
But it also starts with big home set exemptions that
1249
01:01:29.400 --> 01:01:33.239
people can move from one property to the next, so
1250
01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:35.320
you don't end up with a locked up system like
1251
01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:41.559
California that you can't buy property. And the double nickel
1252
01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:44.440
is kind of a recognition of the obvious, which is
1253
01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:47.559
right now, people they get to retire sixty five, so
1254
01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:53.639
they get extra property tax savings, Well, why not fifty five? Okay,
1255
01:01:53.920 --> 01:01:57.920
So one idea is why not? Right? So why not
1256
01:01:58.039 --> 01:02:01.679
move that retirement age for property tax purposes down to
1257
01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:05.400
fifty five? That's what I called the devil nickel. It's
1258
01:02:05.400 --> 01:02:08.519
actually Lieutenant Everor Patrick's idea, but it's a great idea,
1259
01:02:08.599 --> 01:02:09.679
so we're pushing it hard.
1260
01:02:10.239 --> 01:02:10.599
Awesome.
1261
01:02:11.039 --> 01:02:12.519
Now let's get to the last thing, and this is
1262
01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:14.280
the thing that made the news just yesterday for you,
1263
01:02:14.840 --> 01:02:18.079
probably in the state more so than at a national level.
1264
01:02:18.320 --> 01:02:21.840
Although I feel like the hyper focus after what's going
1265
01:02:21.880 --> 01:02:24.519
on in Minnesota in any kind of fraud, certainly voter
1266
01:02:24.599 --> 01:02:26.840
fraud feels like something that's been on the forefront of
1267
01:02:26.840 --> 01:02:29.800
people's minds for a bit. But you know, healthcare fraud,
1268
01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:32.119
all these kind of things, there's a potential for this
1269
01:02:32.159 --> 01:02:36.039
to be a topic that takes national attention. You had
1270
01:02:36.280 --> 01:02:39.280
previously I don't know if the word is accused, but
1271
01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:43.360
you know told people in Houston that there were some
1272
01:02:43.440 --> 01:02:47.400
problems with some voter registration things there that essentially poboxes
1273
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:51.440
were being used as legal places, which they're obviously not
1274
01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:54.639
for people to live who were then registering to vote.
1275
01:02:54.760 --> 01:02:58.639
At first, the people that you said this to defended
1276
01:02:58.679 --> 01:03:02.519
themselves said, how dare you? I'm paraphrasing, I centered Bett
1277
01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:05.480
in court. This isn't true, Anita Ramirez among them. You've
1278
01:03:05.519 --> 01:03:11.159
just filed an additional accusation which definitely proves that this
1279
01:03:11.239 --> 01:03:13.199
is actually going on, that there are people who are
1280
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:14.400
legally registered to.
1281
01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:15.519
Vote in Houston.
1282
01:03:15.639 --> 01:03:18.039
And this feels like a tip of the Iceberg moment
1283
01:03:18.079 --> 01:03:20.199
again on a story.
1284
01:03:20.280 --> 01:03:21.159
Tell me more about this.
1285
01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:25.719
Well, two things, You always want to recognize the obvious
1286
01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:28.280
in politics. If you do, you're actually going to fix
1287
01:03:28.320 --> 01:03:32.119
a problem. Now. You mentioned fraud real fast. Yeah, Minnesota,
1288
01:03:32.280 --> 01:03:35.239
billions of dollars of fraud. We've had fourteen a million
1289
01:03:35.320 --> 01:03:38.920
here in Texas. Yeah, it's open season on anything connected
1290
01:03:38.920 --> 01:03:41.760
with the federal government giveaways and people have scam in it.
1291
01:03:42.199 --> 01:03:44.519
And thirty five percent of the calls in the Social
1292
01:03:44.559 --> 01:03:49.760
Security Administration or fraudulent probably coming from Lagos, Nigeria or whatever. Okay,
1293
01:03:50.079 --> 01:03:52.920
you know, so you have to know that fraud exists
1294
01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:56.639
now on voters. Yeah, this is this is national issue.
1295
01:03:56.639 --> 01:04:02.480
American Legislative Exchange Council, you know, uh see the uh
1296
01:04:02.599 --> 01:04:06.079
you know ALEC has looked into this and there's problems
1297
01:04:06.119 --> 01:04:09.480
all over you know, you know, several hundred thousand dead
1298
01:04:09.480 --> 01:04:11.679
people on the rolls in Michigan, I can go down
1299
01:04:11.760 --> 01:04:15.360
the list and Harris County. I call them blueberries because
1300
01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:21.000
in every red state there are blueberries. Okay, well, yes, now,
1301
01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:23.840
and the difference is the blueberries and the blue states
1302
01:04:23.840 --> 01:04:27.280
are so crazy like New York with Mendami or San Francisco,
1303
01:04:27.519 --> 01:04:32.000
you know their lost causes. So so what happened is
1304
01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:33.960
we passed the law four years ago that said you
1305
01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:36.639
can't register in a PO box because nobody lives in
1306
01:04:36.679 --> 01:04:39.119
a two inch by three it's po box, it's your
1307
01:04:39.159 --> 01:04:44.000
mail there. But yeah, pick some other physical address, okay
1308
01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:49.280
and register. Well, sure enough, our Blueberry vote voter registration
1309
01:04:49.400 --> 01:04:54.480
group at the time ignored the law, okay for three years,
1310
01:04:55.119 --> 01:04:59.159
and then uh, this year we discovered this was up.
1311
01:04:59.199 --> 01:05:01.719
So I used some of my laws, and I pass
1312
01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:05.079
a lot of voter and tagerty legislation in Texas and
1313
01:05:05.440 --> 01:05:09.599
basically said, it's not an allegation, it's a fact. We
1314
01:05:09.719 --> 01:05:13.199
found one hundred and twenty people registered to po boxes
1315
01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:17.079
in two of the same places that were what we
1316
01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.880
use as examples to pass the law four years ago
1317
01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:23.559
in the first place. Now that means there's thousands of
1318
01:05:23.599 --> 01:05:28.360
them in a town like Houston because for national listeners,
1319
01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:34.719
think Wisconsin electoral votes, Harris County, it's the same size. Okay,
1320
01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:38.360
so the first response.
1321
01:05:38.159 --> 01:05:41.119
Was yeah, go first responses it's not happening. Here's what's
1322
01:05:41.159 --> 01:05:43.800
interesting to me about this. I think what we're learning
1323
01:05:43.920 --> 01:05:46.480
out of places like the Nick Shirley Minnesota thing, and
1324
01:05:46.519 --> 01:05:48.280
I don't mean to keep comparing them, but I feel
1325
01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:50.920
like I have to, is that people have an appetite
1326
01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:54.920
for how, not what we think is happening, but how
1327
01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:57.440
it's happening. A lot of people believe that voter fraud
1328
01:05:57.480 --> 01:06:01.119
exists within our country. They obviously think that it's something that,
1329
01:06:01.239 --> 01:06:04.079
unfortunately is capable of being done in a lot of ways.
1330
01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:07.000
What I think you're opening people's eyes to through this
1331
01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:12.400
set of you know, actions is demonstrating the how, which
1332
01:06:12.559 --> 01:06:15.039
might be going on a lot of other places in
1333
01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:17.599
way worse you know numbers than what you're seeing here
1334
01:06:17.599 --> 01:06:19.760
in Texas or in Houston. You say you found one
1335
01:06:19.880 --> 01:06:24.199
hundred examples within the addresses you used to pass a
1336
01:06:24.280 --> 01:06:28.079
law three or four years ago. That sounds as unapologetically
1337
01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:31.199
fraudulent as the stuff we're seeing other places in the country.
1338
01:06:31.519 --> 01:06:34.239
This version of I can do whatever I want, even
1339
01:06:34.239 --> 01:06:37.320
when I'm caught red handed, has to stop. And I
1340
01:06:37.320 --> 01:06:39.239
feel like the actions you're taking, at least with voter
1341
01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:42.400
fraud in Houston, are a demonstration of understanding that the
1342
01:06:42.400 --> 01:06:44.400
American people want this to happen.
1343
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:51.559
Craig, huge point, huge point. Okay, I'm doing the Trump, sir,
1344
01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:57.000
on purpose, because yes, that's the problem. People get away
1345
01:06:57.199 --> 01:06:57.639
with it.
1346
01:06:58.280 --> 01:06:58.440
Yea.
1347
01:06:59.000 --> 01:07:02.639
Now, in tex Is, I passed the law because our
1348
01:07:02.679 --> 01:07:07.599
elections administration office was so corrupt in Houston's third largest
1349
01:07:07.599 --> 01:07:11.639
city in America, fourth largest county, that we closed it
1350
01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:15.039
and gave it back to Democrat elected officials because that's
1351
01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:19.320
who get elected in a Blueberry Okay, because they're going
1352
01:07:19.360 --> 01:07:21.159
to be more responsive to the public.
1353
01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:22.079
Okay.
1354
01:07:22.400 --> 01:07:26.559
Now, And we said, quoting an old Ronald Reagan because
1355
01:07:26.559 --> 01:07:29.639
I'm an old Reagan nite, that said trust but verified.
1356
01:07:29.679 --> 01:07:33.360
We passed the law that said anybody could write a
1357
01:07:33.400 --> 01:07:38.599
complaint if it's real, the Secretary State upholds it and
1358
01:07:38.719 --> 01:07:42.239
tells them to do the work, or they don't get paid,
1359
01:07:42.679 --> 01:07:47.320
or or they get audited or they get busted. Okay.
1360
01:07:46.320 --> 01:07:49.559
And that's the type of stuff we should be doing
1361
01:07:49.599 --> 01:07:53.000
around the country. Because you, Craig, this is an enormously
1362
01:07:53.039 --> 01:07:58.159
important point. It's time to stop putting up with what's happening.
1363
01:07:58.639 --> 01:08:03.719
The fraud exists us and how to stop it is
1364
01:08:03.800 --> 01:08:07.719
the right answer. Yeah, and that's what we did in Texas.
1365
01:08:08.159 --> 01:08:09.719
Ablutely. One last question for you.
1366
01:08:09.800 --> 01:08:11.119
I know we're just about out of time and we
1367
01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:12.840
got to take a break and hit a hard break
1368
01:08:12.840 --> 01:08:15.119
at the end of the hour. But I will ask
1369
01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:19.079
you this. I've seen Nick Shirley again. We'll bring him
1370
01:08:19.119 --> 01:08:21.319
up start to reference the amount of security he needs
1371
01:08:21.560 --> 01:08:23.720
as he outs the fraud and the problems that exist
1372
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:26.840
in our society. Are you concerned as you go after
1373
01:08:26.920 --> 01:08:29.680
fraud in places like Houston, Texas, that there's some sort
1374
01:08:29.720 --> 01:08:32.000
of safety issues that you might have to deal with
1375
01:08:32.279 --> 01:08:35.199
or anybody else that's outing these issues wherever.
1376
01:08:34.840 --> 01:08:36.760
They might be throughout the country. Are you worried about
1377
01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:37.760
your own safety?
1378
01:08:38.880 --> 01:08:43.199
Look, the problem right now is that we're in such
1379
01:08:43.239 --> 01:08:50.199
a frothy environment that the minority whip in Washington got
1380
01:08:50.279 --> 01:08:55.279
shot at a softball game practice. Okay by a Bernie,
1381
01:08:55.760 --> 01:09:01.000
you know, by a Bernie supporter. Okay. Now, yes, there's
1382
01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:04.159
always going to be trouble out there. But what Nick
1383
01:09:04.239 --> 01:09:08.560
did is just go in twenty minutes with a video
1384
01:09:09.159 --> 01:09:13.279
demonstrate the fact that these are fraudulent companies taking fraudulent
1385
01:09:13.560 --> 01:09:17.119
you know, you know claims, and it's in It's at
1386
01:09:17.199 --> 01:09:20.039
least in the tens of millions of dollars per location,
1387
01:09:20.680 --> 01:09:23.760
billions across the state. And people are moving in from
1388
01:09:23.800 --> 01:09:28.479
Pennsylvania to get part of the action. Okay, now come on, run, yeah,
1389
01:09:29.159 --> 01:09:33.279
I mean no it. But the voter rolls same thing.
1390
01:09:33.760 --> 01:09:36.800
You know, why did Michigan not delete two hundred thousand
1391
01:09:36.840 --> 01:09:40.359
dead people? Well because the percentage of them we're voting.
1392
01:09:40.359 --> 01:09:43.680
It just like in this po box example. Yeah, people
1393
01:09:43.760 --> 01:09:45.720
were voting. They shouldn't have been voting. They don't live
1394
01:09:45.760 --> 01:09:49.840
in the county, they're living the state, you know. Anymore, Look,
1395
01:09:50.079 --> 01:09:52.039
I'll leave you with this, Greg. When I first I
1396
01:09:52.159 --> 01:09:54.640
was I got elected as a tax assessor for a
1397
01:09:54.720 --> 01:09:58.119
tax cut and clean up the voter rolls twenty five
1398
01:09:58.199 --> 01:10:01.039
years ago. Pick a number and and I found there
1399
01:10:01.119 --> 01:10:04.439
was fifty thousand dead people and felons on our rolls.
1400
01:10:05.000 --> 01:10:10.039
One percent we're voting, okay, and that was five hundred votes.
1401
01:10:10.119 --> 01:10:13.000
And back in those days in two thousand, that's the
1402
01:10:13.000 --> 01:10:16.079
margin of victory that Bush had over Gore. And Florida.
1403
01:10:16.680 --> 01:10:21.479
We regularly have races in Harris County, which is mostly blue.
1404
01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:25.159
There's a streak of purple Republicans have been winning you know,
1405
01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:29.399
you know, ten juditional seats out of you know, picking number,
1406
01:10:29.560 --> 01:10:34.600
you know, forty whatever. But when they do, they win
1407
01:10:34.680 --> 01:10:37.079
by less than a point, and that means a few
1408
01:10:37.159 --> 01:10:41.319
hundred votes or a few thousand votes. So all this matters.
1409
01:10:41.359 --> 01:10:46.359
So whatever community you're in, the how a fraud matters
1410
01:10:46.399 --> 01:10:50.119
because they it's the legislation that needs to get passed
1411
01:10:50.159 --> 01:10:50.920
to stop it.
1412
01:10:51.640 --> 01:10:54.079
Yes, and the people that need to be held accountable
1413
01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:56.079
and caught and you know, thrown in jail or whatever
1414
01:10:56.079 --> 01:10:59.039
it might be that actually facilitated. Thank you very much
1415
01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:02.760
State Senator Paul Bettencourt for joining the show. One of
1416
01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:05.239
the three hosts of The Amigos, one of the longest
1417
01:11:05.319 --> 01:11:08.920
running radio programs in the state of Texas on KSV
1418
01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:11.840
Radio from four to six o'clock every Friday. I Quick
1419
01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:14.000
Break a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the
1420
01:11:14.039 --> 01:11:14.600
Dana Show.
1421
01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:20.199
It's his life mission to make bad decisions.
1422
01:11:23.359 --> 01:11:24.680
It's time for Florida Man.
1423
01:11:25.039 --> 01:11:26.960
It is time for a very quick Florida Man. On
1424
01:11:27.000 --> 01:11:29.119
the Danish show. My name is Craig Collins filling in.
1425
01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:32.079
My favorite Florida man is a dude who got arrested
1426
01:11:32.119 --> 01:11:35.840
for attacking a gambling machine with a sledgehammer. The guy
1427
01:11:35.880 --> 01:11:38.359
said the losses were just too much, how ridiculous the
1428
01:11:38.359 --> 01:11:41.600
machine was obviously rigged or something, not the fact that
1429
01:11:41.640 --> 01:11:44.199
it's a terrible idea financially to throw a bunch of
1430
01:11:44.199 --> 01:11:47.359
money into a machine, a gambling machine. So the guy
1431
01:11:47.399 --> 01:11:49.840
pulled out a sledgehammer. I assume he brought it with
1432
01:11:50.119 --> 01:11:53.279
and then went after the machine that definitely did not
1433
01:11:53.399 --> 01:11:56.119
work out for his benefit and not allowed to do that.
1434
01:11:56.439 --> 01:11:58.399
You find out this is one of the things where
1435
01:11:58.399 --> 01:12:00.319
you feel like I could be the sun nin felt
1436
01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:02.840
that episode where someone says, I thought I thought you
1437
01:12:02.880 --> 01:12:04.760
were allowed. Is that not something we're allowed to do?
1438
01:12:05.199 --> 01:12:07.119
The answer is no. You can't try to pry open
1439
01:12:07.159 --> 01:12:09.439
the machine and the taget when you don't win enough.
1440
01:12:09.720 --> 01:12:12.920
Craig Collins filling in on the Danish show. This is
1441
01:12:12.960 --> 01:12:16.079
the Danish Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
1442
01:12:16.359 --> 01:12:18.640
Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff out
1443
01:12:18.680 --> 01:12:22.079
there to talk about. President Trump answered a question in
1444
01:12:22.119 --> 01:12:25.239
front of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin net Yahoo about some
1445
01:12:25.319 --> 01:12:28.239
of the things that have been happening recently between America
1446
01:12:28.279 --> 01:12:31.920
and Venezuela and some of the things that might have
1447
01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:36.520
exploded in recent days and whatnot. He also talked about
1448
01:12:36.880 --> 01:12:40.399
the potential for Iran to be more provocative in what
1449
01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:42.880
it decides to do, whether it tries to re engage
1450
01:12:42.920 --> 01:12:46.560
with its nuclear arsenal program and whatnot. Like, there's certain
1451
01:12:46.560 --> 01:12:50.119
things that Trump is no nonsense on, and some of
1452
01:12:50.119 --> 01:12:53.199
these questions dove right into that. So I'll play a
1453
01:12:53.239 --> 01:12:54.840
little bit of the audio of him answering a question
1454
01:12:54.880 --> 01:12:58.479
about Iran about quite a few different of the organizations
1455
01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:01.279
that the United States has deemed our enemies of ours
1456
01:13:01.359 --> 01:13:04.279
are right now, and Trump will do whatever is necessary
1457
01:13:04.600 --> 01:13:07.119
to prevent those enemies from having any kind of success.
1458
01:13:07.520 --> 01:13:08.439
We don't want the behalf.
1459
01:13:08.640 --> 01:13:12.039
Look, he's a wartime prime minister who's done a phenomenal job.
1460
01:13:12.680 --> 01:13:17.560
He's taken Israel to a very dangerous period of trauma.
1461
01:13:18.439 --> 01:13:22.199
Israel with other people might not exist right now, if
1462
01:13:22.199 --> 01:13:24.760
you want to know the truth. That's a pretty big statement,
1463
01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:27.000
but it's true. I feel that you had the wrong
1464
01:13:27.039 --> 01:13:29.079
prime minister. Israel right now would not.
1465
01:13:29.039 --> 01:13:31.439
Exist crazy because they were.
1466
01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:34.840
They were met with a force the likes of which
1467
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:39.079
very few countries could have handled. And we work together
1468
01:13:39.159 --> 01:13:42.960
and we were extremely victorious. To put it mildly. Now,
1469
01:13:42.960 --> 01:13:45.479
I hear that Iran is trying to build up again,
1470
01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:46.840
and if they are, we're going to have to knock
1471
01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:47.279
them down.
1472
01:13:47.479 --> 01:13:48.199
We'll knock him down.
1473
01:13:48.239 --> 01:13:49.319
We'll knock the hell out of them.
1474
01:13:49.840 --> 01:13:51.840
I love that we'll knocked out of them if they're
1475
01:13:51.880 --> 01:13:53.439
trying to build up again, if they're trying to be
1476
01:13:53.479 --> 01:13:57.199
a force that's potentially trying to threaten our friends in Israel,
1477
01:13:57.640 --> 01:13:59.600
and the prime minister who is standing next to me,
1478
01:14:00.079 --> 01:14:02.560
a prime minister that obviously Trump feels has done a
1479
01:14:02.560 --> 01:14:05.840
good job, even if he's not terribly popular inside of
1480
01:14:05.840 --> 01:14:09.239
Israel anymore. That is its own thing. But I do
1481
01:14:09.239 --> 01:14:12.079
think that's interesting as far as that goes. Trump was
1482
01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:15.359
the same version of unapologetic and matter of fact when
1483
01:14:15.359 --> 01:14:17.760
I asked questions about any sort of action the United
1484
01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:22.039
States has taken in Venezuela, including blowing up a facility that,
1485
01:14:22.279 --> 01:14:24.560
as Trump described, it, would load up the boats with
1486
01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:27.199
drugs to send them out toward our country. These are
1487
01:14:27.239 --> 01:14:29.920
things that are just happening and if you continue to
1488
01:14:29.960 --> 01:14:32.159
act a certain way, there's likely to be more of this.
1489
01:14:32.800 --> 01:14:35.640
I think there is an appropriate way to wield the
1490
01:14:35.720 --> 01:14:39.319
incredible might of the American military, and I think this
1491
01:14:39.479 --> 01:14:43.000
is potentially that way. I say that as best I can,
1492
01:14:43.119 --> 01:14:45.800
not knowing the inevitability of the outcome of some of
1493
01:14:45.800 --> 01:14:49.560
these things, I'm not necessarily advocating for war with Venezuela
1494
01:14:49.880 --> 01:14:53.920
if that's what inevitably happens in the ongoing conflict, although
1495
01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:56.760
I am saying that being afraid to use our might
1496
01:14:56.880 --> 01:14:59.720
in any capacity whatsoever makes you the version of a
1497
01:14:59.760 --> 01:15:03.439
paper tiger leader that Biden was. That means people do
1498
01:15:03.479 --> 01:15:05.680
whatever they want, that they don't believe anything you say,
1499
01:15:05.760 --> 01:15:09.079
they don't care about what sanctions you attempt to put
1500
01:15:09.119 --> 01:15:12.159
in place to harm someone, and they just ignore you.
1501
01:15:12.319 --> 01:15:15.119
They act like you're the loudest but not strongest person
1502
01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:17.239
in the room. And so you have to behave the
1503
01:15:17.239 --> 01:15:20.079
opposite way. You have to at times show how strong
1504
01:15:20.119 --> 01:15:22.319
you are, and I think Trump is just much better
1505
01:15:22.359 --> 01:15:24.560
at doing that than a whole lot of people, not
1506
01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:28.239
because of the action itself, but also the way he
1507
01:15:28.319 --> 01:15:31.520
responds when questioned about whatever the thing is that might
1508
01:15:31.560 --> 01:15:36.199
have happened There's also this story out of Russia. Russia
1509
01:15:36.239 --> 01:15:39.199
is accusing Ukraine of trying to kill Putin, of an
1510
01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:42.399
attack on him and his residence. A Zelenski has said
1511
01:15:42.399 --> 01:15:45.479
that it's not true at all, and it's typical Russian disinformation.
1512
01:15:46.079 --> 01:15:48.199
You know, it's an attempt to try to move away
1513
01:15:48.239 --> 01:15:50.920
from a peace deal and let the conflict continue to
1514
01:15:50.960 --> 01:15:54.920
go between the two countries. The problem for me, no
1515
01:15:54.920 --> 01:15:58.239
matter how much I want to believe Ukraine and how
1516
01:15:58.279 --> 01:16:00.800
much I understand that support of you Crane is important
1517
01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:05.800
in prevention of Russia from expanding its country is also important,
1518
01:16:06.039 --> 01:16:08.720
even if they're going to wind up acquiring some parts
1519
01:16:08.760 --> 01:16:12.279
of contested areas between Ukraine and Russia that are currently
1520
01:16:12.399 --> 01:16:15.359
Ukraine's but truthfully have been contested for quite a long
1521
01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:20.279
time and not exactly the most I think successful parts
1522
01:16:20.359 --> 01:16:23.439
of the country, like the Donbas region. Nonetheless, I really
1523
01:16:23.479 --> 01:16:25.439
don't know who to trust. I want to trust one
1524
01:16:25.439 --> 01:16:28.520
side of the equation, but I would be easily convinced
1525
01:16:28.520 --> 01:16:31.279
that either side is lying to me, mostly because of
1526
01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:34.199
the history of both places Ukraine and also the amount
1527
01:16:34.199 --> 01:16:37.520
of corruption you're currently seeing go on and the amount
1528
01:16:37.520 --> 01:16:40.560
of corruption that they're actually indicating happened the times that
1529
01:16:40.560 --> 01:16:42.760
people are getting caught for some of this stuff, for
1530
01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:46.319
stealing money during war, Like, you can't be a more
1531
01:16:46.399 --> 01:16:50.479
unapologetic piece of crap in the world of politics. If
1532
01:16:50.520 --> 01:16:53.119
you steal money that's being sent to your country to
1533
01:16:53.119 --> 01:16:55.920
defend itself in a war where your military men and
1534
01:16:55.920 --> 01:16:58.479
women are dying. That is the height of the piece
1535
01:16:58.520 --> 01:17:01.439
of crap that exists in why Washington, or just anywhere
1536
01:17:01.439 --> 01:17:04.239
in the world as far as politics go. And you're
1537
01:17:04.279 --> 01:17:06.880
actually seeing it on display in Ukraine, and so then
1538
01:17:06.880 --> 01:17:09.880
you're wondering to yourself how you can fully believe the
1539
01:17:09.880 --> 01:17:13.600
things they say. Because Ukraine doesn't want peace on the
1540
01:17:13.680 --> 01:17:16.439
terms they're being asked to get peace on, they're being
1541
01:17:16.479 --> 01:17:20.199
forced to do it. Ukraine has to abide by the
1542
01:17:20.239 --> 01:17:23.319
positions of people like the United States if we say
1543
01:17:23.359 --> 01:17:27.399
that the alternative is less help, and then a likelihood
1544
01:17:27.399 --> 01:17:30.279
that they would lose that conflict more rapidly than they're
1545
01:17:30.359 --> 01:17:34.119
losing a long war right now. So it is something
1546
01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:36.720
that's being done by force, and so you wonder if
1547
01:17:36.720 --> 01:17:39.279
there's an attempt to try to subvert that. But you
1548
01:17:39.359 --> 01:17:43.079
also can easily believe that Vladimir Putin a guy who
1549
01:17:43.119 --> 01:17:46.920
constantly makes his enemies disappear and is definitely like the
1550
01:17:47.039 --> 01:17:49.840
hit man of hitmen that seems to exist in the world.
1551
01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:52.840
Also would do horrible, terrible things like it's very easy
1552
01:17:52.840 --> 01:17:56.520
to believe that all parties involved might not necessarily be
1553
01:17:56.560 --> 01:17:58.720
telling us the truth for a variety of reasons. So
1554
01:17:58.760 --> 01:18:00.800
it's a difficult thing to parse, but it is what
1555
01:18:00.840 --> 01:18:02.880
it is, all right. Another piece of audio I want
1556
01:18:02.880 --> 01:18:06.720
to play. This is crazy. This is the daughter of
1557
01:18:06.800 --> 01:18:11.199
Tim Walls. Her name is Hope Walls. I would normally
1558
01:18:11.239 --> 01:18:14.800
shy away from this stuff. Producer Steven said it to me.
1559
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:17.039
And if this weren't a person who was trying to
1560
01:18:17.039 --> 01:18:20.279
be a public person who didn't like try to have
1561
01:18:20.319 --> 01:18:23.119
a following on social media and talk about politics and
1562
01:18:23.119 --> 01:18:27.760
stuff and use her connection to her ridiculously fraudulent father
1563
01:18:28.239 --> 01:18:32.199
and at one time, thankfully a failed candidate for the
1564
01:18:32.359 --> 01:18:34.600
role of vice president of this country, if she wasn't
1565
01:18:34.640 --> 01:18:38.159
trying to be herself a pundit, I wouldn't go after
1566
01:18:38.560 --> 01:18:41.720
somebody out there because she's saying that everybody's being mean
1567
01:18:41.720 --> 01:18:44.079
to her, and the direct messages she's getting are mean.
1568
01:18:44.640 --> 01:18:47.560
But the funniest thing about it is she goes on
1569
01:18:47.600 --> 01:18:51.279
a platform in which she has a following to tell
1570
01:18:51.319 --> 01:18:53.760
the platform of people that she's a private person.
1571
01:18:54.199 --> 01:18:55.720
She's doing that publicly.
1572
01:18:56.359 --> 01:18:59.600
Usually when you say I'm a private person, leave me alone,
1573
01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:03.279
you're doing it at your front door to a news
1574
01:19:03.760 --> 01:19:06.479
microphone and camera. If news still did the job they're
1575
01:19:06.479 --> 01:19:08.760
supposed to do. Where you're saying I don't want to
1576
01:19:08.760 --> 01:19:11.560
be in public, please leave me alone. I'm a private person.
1577
01:19:12.000 --> 01:19:15.199
You can't turn the microphone and the camera on yourself.
1578
01:19:15.680 --> 01:19:18.439
Go on your social media platform with a following and say,
1579
01:19:18.439 --> 01:19:20.960
how dare anybody try to talk to me? I am
1580
01:19:21.000 --> 01:19:25.000
a private person. That is stupidity. That is people believing
1581
01:19:25.039 --> 01:19:27.439
that they can have it both ways. But here is
1582
01:19:27.840 --> 01:19:30.720
the daughter of Tim Walls saying how bad things have
1583
01:19:30.760 --> 01:19:35.039
gotten for her as her public persona is now getting
1584
01:19:35.039 --> 01:19:38.600
attacked and now getting messages about how terrible her crime
1585
01:19:38.680 --> 01:19:39.520
family seems to be.
1586
01:19:40.079 --> 01:19:43.319
In the name of transparency, because I think that is
1587
01:19:43.479 --> 01:19:46.439
what people appreciate about me and my content, and it's
1588
01:19:46.479 --> 01:19:49.680
something that I'm really proud of and stand by, and
1589
01:19:51.000 --> 01:19:54.159
thing is important regarding posting on the Internet. I'll be
1590
01:19:54.199 --> 01:19:59.239
honest and saying having the entire right wing infrastructure launch
1591
01:19:59.279 --> 01:20:02.439
a hate and bought campaign against you and your family.
1592
01:20:02.720 --> 01:20:02.960
Huh.
1593
01:20:03.199 --> 01:20:08.920
Really sucks, especially because I'm a private citizen. Like I
1594
01:20:08.960 --> 01:20:13.359
pay my rent, I work multiple jobs, I do my
1595
01:20:13.439 --> 01:20:14.960
thing as a private citizen.
1596
01:20:15.159 --> 01:20:17.920
I am a private citizen. How dare you not think why?
1597
01:20:17.960 --> 01:20:20.359
I'm laughing so much at the ridiculousness of this. She
1598
01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:23.119
has like one hundred thousand followers on Instagram or something.
1599
01:20:23.399 --> 01:20:26.119
She has other followers I think more significant on TikTok,
1600
01:20:26.840 --> 01:20:30.239
and she puts out content in which she reacts to videos.
1601
01:20:30.520 --> 01:20:32.720
I hate calling it content, but that's what people call it.
1602
01:20:33.119 --> 01:20:36.119
She puts out her videos in which she talks about politics,
1603
01:20:36.199 --> 01:20:38.880
she gives her opinion on stuff. She's become a pundit
1604
01:20:39.279 --> 01:20:41.920
right now on this radio show. I am not a
1605
01:20:42.000 --> 01:20:44.960
private person in this moment. I am a public person.
1606
01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:48.560
Anytime I do anything in the public square, I become
1607
01:20:48.600 --> 01:20:51.960
a public person, especially when the attention is focused on me,
1608
01:20:52.319 --> 01:20:54.399
as she does all of her content, of course, being
1609
01:20:54.439 --> 01:20:57.840
focused all of her videos on her. So it's insane
1610
01:20:58.199 --> 01:21:00.319
to go out there and say, how dare you? How
1611
01:21:00.399 --> 01:21:02.720
dare you say things that I disagree with about me
1612
01:21:02.960 --> 01:21:05.920
or my family to me, now that I've given you
1613
01:21:05.960 --> 01:21:08.399
an opportunity to do it because I've created.
1614
01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:10.319
My own platform online.
1615
01:21:10.640 --> 01:21:13.000
What would be amazing is if Nick Shirley was doing
1616
01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:15.880
the same thing, the YouTube guy who got a lot
1617
01:21:15.920 --> 01:21:18.399
of attention for a video he put out there going
1618
01:21:18.479 --> 01:21:23.000
after the crazy amount of fraud in Minneapolis and in Minnesota.
1619
01:21:23.319 --> 01:21:25.520
If he was now saying, how dare everybody paying attention
1620
01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:28.479
to me? I'm just a private person. The Left would
1621
01:21:28.560 --> 01:21:31.039
lose their minds. They'd be insane about it. But they
1622
01:21:31.079 --> 01:21:33.239
also try to say that when it's their side of
1623
01:21:33.279 --> 01:21:36.239
the aisle and their people that don't like things happening.
1624
01:21:36.560 --> 01:21:39.119
And speaking of Nick Shirley, I thought this was interesting.
1625
01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:43.359
On Fox News, he was asked a question about Tim Walls,
1626
01:21:43.840 --> 01:21:47.319
the father of the person you just heard there, accusing
1627
01:21:47.399 --> 01:21:50.319
him of being a white supremacist, accusing everybody in the
1628
01:21:50.359 --> 01:21:53.399
bot campaign. As insane as that thing is, because I
1629
01:21:53.439 --> 01:21:57.079
do think a lot of actual people actually care about this.
1630
01:21:57.199 --> 01:21:59.079
I don't think it's a whole bunch of bots like
1631
01:21:59.119 --> 01:22:01.760
you seem to believe it is the daughter of Tim Walls.
1632
01:22:02.119 --> 01:22:05.359
But nonetheless, what I think is interesting is the very
1633
01:22:05.399 --> 01:22:08.920
good response that Nick Sureley had to of course, trying
1634
01:22:08.920 --> 01:22:11.039
to turn this into a race issue, and not just
1635
01:22:11.159 --> 01:22:13.279
admit that the things we're talking about are real.
1636
01:22:13.880 --> 01:22:14.600
It's the truth.
1637
01:22:14.960 --> 01:22:18.359
I don't care if it's a Somalian a group of people,
1638
01:22:18.760 --> 01:22:20.560
or if it's a group of people from any other
1639
01:22:20.600 --> 01:22:22.960
walk of life. I don't care where you're born. I
1640
01:22:22.960 --> 01:22:26.600
don't care where you currently live. I care more about
1641
01:22:26.640 --> 01:22:29.680
the facts and whether or not you or a group
1642
01:22:29.720 --> 01:22:32.600
of people are doing something wrong. And I will tell
1643
01:22:32.640 --> 01:22:35.960
people what those facts are, regardless of who the people are,
1644
01:22:36.479 --> 01:22:39.079
meaning that I won't hide the fact like mainstream media
1645
01:22:39.119 --> 01:22:42.760
does that a transgender person did this, or someone with
1646
01:22:42.840 --> 01:22:46.239
a trans manifesto did this, or whatever the story may be.
1647
01:22:46.760 --> 01:22:50.119
I don't care how inconvenient or how many people scream
1648
01:22:50.119 --> 01:22:52.520
and yell at me that you're gonna get somebody hurt
1649
01:22:53.079 --> 01:22:56.920
by telling the truth, because that's insane the reason people
1650
01:22:56.960 --> 01:22:59.159
get upset. I guess I'm just gonna rant about this
1651
01:22:59.199 --> 01:23:02.520
for a second, about the truth inevitably coming out in
1652
01:23:02.560 --> 01:23:05.079
these stories, and the reason that some of these people
1653
01:23:05.159 --> 01:23:08.239
feel as though they're in danger is because the truth
1654
01:23:08.359 --> 01:23:11.640
was being hidden by those same people for so long.
1655
01:23:12.079 --> 01:23:14.840
If you didn't think someone was blatantly lying to you
1656
01:23:15.359 --> 01:23:18.960
again and again and again, you wouldn't get mad when
1657
01:23:19.000 --> 01:23:21.960
you learned the truth. At least that's my position. And
1658
01:23:22.000 --> 01:23:24.880
this happens even in your own everyday life. When people
1659
01:23:24.920 --> 01:23:29.199
that you know are lying continue to lie, it upsets you.
1660
01:23:29.399 --> 01:23:32.840
It makes you emotionally mad, because of course it does.
1661
01:23:33.399 --> 01:23:35.920
There is a moment when people have to admit that
1662
01:23:35.960 --> 01:23:38.399
the sky is blue, and a whole lot of people
1663
01:23:38.560 --> 01:23:42.159
in this conversation on that side of the political isle
1664
01:23:42.479 --> 01:23:45.279
want to tell you that the skry is red and
1665
01:23:45.319 --> 01:23:46.920
how dare you ever say it's blue?
1666
01:23:47.319 --> 01:23:48.439
You horrible races.
1667
01:23:48.760 --> 01:23:51.720
But here's how Nick Shirley again responded to the accusation
1668
01:23:51.800 --> 01:23:54.359
that he's just a white supremacist and all this is
1669
01:23:54.399 --> 01:23:56.640
just to go after Somolians because of race.
1670
01:23:57.279 --> 01:24:00.199
So it sounds to me, Nick, that Governor Tim Walls
1671
01:24:00.199 --> 01:24:02.199
saying that you and others that are out there trying
1672
01:24:02.199 --> 01:24:04.840
to expose this, you know you're doing it because.
1673
01:24:04.560 --> 01:24:08.640
You're white supremacist. What is your response to him? Yeah,
1674
01:24:08.720 --> 01:24:09.680
Tim wants votes.
1675
01:24:10.319 --> 01:24:12.800
There are an entire apartment complex where white people have
1676
01:24:12.840 --> 01:24:15.399
been pushed out of these apartment complexes because some mullions
1677
01:24:15.439 --> 01:24:18.920
have taken over in there. Inside of these towns like Minneapolis,
1678
01:24:19.159 --> 01:24:21.560
where they can go and go get votes from these people.
1679
01:24:21.800 --> 01:24:23.279
And if you have one hundred thousand people that will
1680
01:24:23.359 --> 01:24:25.840
vote for you, because you're going to enable and let
1681
01:24:25.880 --> 01:24:28.039
this stuff happen, and because you're going to call white
1682
01:24:28.039 --> 01:24:30.680
person races for calling out facts. This is what's going
1683
01:24:30.720 --> 01:24:35.000
to happen to state like Minnesota. Minnesota's they say Minnesota nice, but.
1684
01:24:35.000 --> 01:24:36.439
They are very upset.
1685
01:24:36.479 --> 01:24:39.119
And I really understand why they're upset because they don't
1686
01:24:39.119 --> 01:24:41.279
have a governor who's actually working for them. He's actually
1687
01:24:41.319 --> 01:24:42.159
working against them.
1688
01:24:42.319 --> 01:24:44.920
Yeah, and he's stealing their money and doing it blatantly
1689
01:24:44.960 --> 01:24:47.600
and fraudulently and in all kinds of ways where he's
1690
01:24:47.680 --> 01:24:50.399
unapologetic about it, which is just insane. But this is
1691
01:24:50.399 --> 01:24:53.239
absolutely true and absolutely an issue how to watch play
1692
01:24:53.279 --> 01:24:56.159
out in front of everybody. Because of the lack of
1693
01:24:56.520 --> 01:25:00.359
censorship that exists on x IF, that social media p platform,
1694
01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:02.800
we're still as censored as it used to be before
1695
01:25:02.800 --> 01:25:05.319
Elon bought it. There's a really good chance a whole
1696
01:25:05.319 --> 01:25:07.800
lot of people wouldn't know about this story that know
1697
01:25:07.880 --> 01:25:10.279
about it now, all right, we'll take a break. A
1698
01:25:10.359 --> 01:25:14.279
crazy story about a Patriots wide receiver is in the news.
1699
01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:16.439
I definitely have to touch on it a little bit.
1700
01:25:16.920 --> 01:25:19.359
They did try to bury it and get the police
1701
01:25:19.399 --> 01:25:21.319
report to not be made public, but some of that
1702
01:25:21.359 --> 01:25:24.960
stuff has been It is hard to know what is
1703
01:25:25.279 --> 01:25:29.000
fact and what could be an accusation that's not actually substantiated,
1704
01:25:29.279 --> 01:25:32.119
and that is something that the defense of this athlete
1705
01:25:32.199 --> 01:25:35.600
is saying. But nonetheless it's pretty bad stuff that they
1706
01:25:35.600 --> 01:25:38.560
are being accused of. And there's a potential financial settlement
1707
01:25:38.920 --> 01:25:42.520
that's being made too, which never screams that someone is innocent.
1708
01:25:42.600 --> 01:25:45.199
Even if it cannot scream that you're guilty. The whole
1709
01:25:45.199 --> 01:25:48.039
point of the statement or the financial thing is to
1710
01:25:48.079 --> 01:25:50.760
make the issue go away, So you can't assume guilt
1711
01:25:50.800 --> 01:25:53.159
when you see one of those. But again, it's hard
1712
01:25:53.199 --> 01:25:55.920
to assume innocence. But we'll talk about that in just
1713
01:25:55.960 --> 01:25:58.399
a bit. Craig Collins filling in on the Danish Show.
1714
01:26:00.000 --> 01:26:02.560
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
1715
01:26:02.760 --> 01:26:04.520
it's time for Dana's Quick five.
1716
01:26:04.960 --> 01:26:07.000
That's right, we're going to do a rapid fire quick
1717
01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:09.439
five on the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
1718
01:26:09.479 --> 01:26:13.840
filling in. Patriots wide receiver Stefan Diggs seems like he's
1719
01:26:13.880 --> 01:26:18.720
embroiled in a controversy his private chef has accused him
1720
01:26:18.720 --> 01:26:21.359
of not paying her for about a month's worth of work,
1721
01:26:21.720 --> 01:26:24.159
and then she sent a text saying that he's going
1722
01:26:24.239 --> 01:26:26.760
to give her the money. He sent a text back
1723
01:26:27.479 --> 01:26:29.239
saying no, I'm paraphrasing.
1724
01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:30.920
There's some other words used in that.
1725
01:26:31.279 --> 01:26:34.720
And eventually this got to the point where allegedly Stefan
1726
01:26:34.880 --> 01:26:39.439
Diggs choked her and also you know herd her. Whether
1727
01:26:39.560 --> 01:26:42.079
or not that actually happened is something I can't tell you.
1728
01:26:42.159 --> 01:26:42.680
I don't know.
1729
01:26:42.760 --> 01:26:46.800
This is an allegation, an allegation that Stefan Diggs's own
1730
01:26:46.880 --> 01:26:50.239
attorneys tried to get buried. They tried to make that
1731
01:26:50.359 --> 01:26:53.720
part not available to the public. This has potentially happened
1732
01:26:53.760 --> 01:26:56.520
back at the beginning of December, and there is a
1733
01:26:56.560 --> 01:27:00.880
potential for a financial settlement that stefan On diggs lawyers
1734
01:27:00.920 --> 01:27:04.239
mentioned when trying to get this whole thing to go away,
1735
01:27:04.920 --> 01:27:07.479
that is being worked on between Diggs and the chef.
1736
01:27:08.119 --> 01:27:10.439
Whether or not that is actually transpired, since who knows.
1737
01:27:10.920 --> 01:27:14.479
The next arraignment in this potential case is on the
1738
01:27:14.520 --> 01:27:17.039
twenty third of January, which is just two days before
1739
01:27:17.479 --> 01:27:20.520
the AFC Championship game. If the Patriots were to get there,
1740
01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:23.319
and Stefan Diggs's lawyer has asked that we get this
1741
01:27:23.399 --> 01:27:25.760
pushback to March if it does keep having to be
1742
01:27:25.800 --> 01:27:28.800
worked out through the court system. But a pretty crazy allegation,
1743
01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:31.640
pretty significant story out there for one of the better
1744
01:27:31.680 --> 01:27:34.560
receivers on one of the better teams in the NFL
1745
01:27:34.840 --> 01:27:36.960
this year, one of probably the best teams in the
1746
01:27:37.039 --> 01:27:40.399
NFL this year. Also, entertainment and media layoffs are up
1747
01:27:40.439 --> 01:27:43.720
eighteen percent. Over seventeen thousand jobs have been cut and
1748
01:27:43.760 --> 01:27:48.119
slashed because Hollywood and entertainment continue to not understand being
1749
01:27:48.159 --> 01:27:51.279
one sided is bad for business. Quick break a lot more.

This is the Dana Schell. My name is Craig Collins
1756
01:28:07.800 --> 01:28:11.039
filling in d Lash. Dana Lash Radio, on X on
1757
01:28:11.079 --> 01:28:14.279
Twitter are great ways to stay connected to everything going
1758
01:28:14.319 --> 01:28:16.960
on for her and the awesome team of people she
1759
01:28:17.000 --> 01:28:19.000
has helping work on that social media stuff. Although she
1760
01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:21.359
does a lot of herself, I know on a d lash,
1761
01:28:21.439 --> 01:28:22.359
but check it all out.
1762
01:28:22.399 --> 01:28:24.039
It's all awesome anyway.
1763
01:28:24.239 --> 01:28:26.199
I saw a few different stories that I thought were
1764
01:28:26.199 --> 01:28:29.319
interesting towards the tail end of the show. Here first,
1765
01:28:29.479 --> 01:28:32.439
a ten year stain is what Pam Bondi and Cash
1766
01:28:32.479 --> 01:28:38.359
Betel are calling the Obama Biden led politicization of our
1767
01:28:38.720 --> 01:28:43.479
legal system, law fair, criminal conspiracy, law enforcement, you know,
1768
01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:48.159
and intelligence cooperation with political agenda. This is something that
1769
01:28:48.199 --> 01:28:51.359
goes back to the Russian collusion case. Cash Bettel is
1770
01:28:51.359 --> 01:28:54.359
saying that arrest will eventually be made more or less
1771
01:28:54.359 --> 01:28:56.399
in saying that it's really gonna be bad. As we
1772
01:28:56.479 --> 01:28:59.880
dive deeper into this, these are all the reasons that
1773
01:28:59.880 --> 01:29:02.319
you voted people like Trump into a position of power,
1774
01:29:02.479 --> 01:29:05.239
voted Trump specifically and to the office of the White House.
1775
01:29:05.720 --> 01:29:08.640
You do want people to be held accountable for the terrible,
1776
01:29:08.680 --> 01:29:09.800
awful bad things.
1777
01:29:09.560 --> 01:29:10.159
They were doing.
1778
01:29:10.680 --> 01:29:13.399
Simply put, there's no other way to say it, no
1779
01:29:13.479 --> 01:29:15.359
matter what the good or bad is, no matter what
1780
01:29:15.399 --> 01:29:19.119
the ebb and flows of the approval polls are, and
1781
01:29:19.159 --> 01:29:21.560
what people scream and yell, although I think by and
1782
01:29:21.640 --> 01:29:24.399
large they're not conservatives who are screaming and yelling the
1783
01:29:24.399 --> 01:29:26.960
things that are bad, or maybe the midterms are in
1784
01:29:27.039 --> 01:29:29.520
jeopardy for this, and that all of that pales in
1785
01:29:29.560 --> 01:29:34.079
comparison to outing fraud and whether it's in Minnesota and
1786
01:29:34.079 --> 01:29:36.600
whether you feel that that's somehow connected to Trump be
1787
01:29:36.640 --> 01:29:39.039
in a position of power, or whether it's within the
1788
01:29:39.079 --> 01:29:41.720
federal government, and some of the other things we're seeing,
1789
01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:45.520
the lying about the amount of violence in DC compared
1790
01:29:45.560 --> 01:29:47.760
to what was actually going on to make the numbers
1791
01:29:47.800 --> 01:29:50.399
look better than they were, and then fixing a whole
1792
01:29:50.399 --> 01:29:54.039
lot of that by actually bringing in the National Guard
1793
01:29:54.119 --> 01:29:56.520
to help, and then some of the tragedies that happened
1794
01:29:56.520 --> 01:29:59.600
in light of that even more so further demonstrate the
1795
01:29:59.680 --> 01:30:02.960
knee for a system that's being put in place to
1796
01:30:03.119 --> 01:30:05.960
actually tell the American people how long and how bad
1797
01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:07.960
things have been in a lot of parts of the
1798
01:30:08.000 --> 01:30:11.359
country that claim things aren't so bad. Another big thing
1799
01:30:11.359 --> 01:30:16.039
out there. President Trump absolutely laughed off the way he would,
1800
01:30:16.319 --> 01:30:19.880
which is without actual laughter, a question about Venezuela and
1801
01:30:19.920 --> 01:30:23.439
an explosion that happened there, saying, yeah, it's no longer round,
1802
01:30:23.600 --> 01:30:26.439
it's gone. Next question, I have that audio. I referenced
1803
01:30:26.479 --> 01:30:28.000
it earlier. Let's go ahead and play it here.
1804
01:30:30.479 --> 01:30:31.119
It's very well.
1805
01:30:31.199 --> 01:30:37.520
Lad you mentioned it radio, well, it doesn't matter. But
1806
01:30:37.760 --> 01:30:40.319
there was a major explosion in the dock area where
1807
01:30:40.319 --> 01:30:43.479
they load the boats up with drugs. They load the
1808
01:30:43.479 --> 01:30:45.439
boats up with drugs. So we hit all the boats,
1809
01:30:45.439 --> 01:30:49.479
and now we hit the area. It's the implementation area.
1810
01:30:49.520 --> 01:30:54.560
That's where the implement and that is no longer around.
1811
01:30:56.199 --> 01:30:58.520
Anyway, I'll move on, no longer around. It's gone.
1812
01:30:58.600 --> 01:31:01.920
It's been destroyed because people who do bad things now
1813
01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:03.800
have to deal with the might of the American people
1814
01:31:03.840 --> 01:31:06.680
and with our military in doing said bad things.
1815
01:31:07.399 --> 01:31:08.640
It's so unapologetic.
1816
01:31:09.079 --> 01:31:11.920
The thing I laugh about not the you know, fact
1817
01:31:11.960 --> 01:31:14.840
that someplace got bombed. That's not uniquely funny to me,
1818
01:31:14.840 --> 01:31:17.439
although it doesn't have to be something that I'm upset
1819
01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:21.119
about either. If bad guys are getting removed from planet Earth, good,
1820
01:31:21.279 --> 01:31:23.760
I'm happy about it. But nonetheless, just the fact that
1821
01:31:23.800 --> 01:31:27.920
these questions from reporters to the reporters feel like we
1822
01:31:28.000 --> 01:31:29.880
got him, We're about to get him to say something
1823
01:31:29.920 --> 01:31:32.640
horrible and terrible, and Trump comes back with the most
1824
01:31:32.680 --> 01:31:35.680
simplistic version of yeah, I did that, and then moves on.
1825
01:31:36.239 --> 01:31:38.760
And this does seem to be a nothing story very
1826
01:31:38.840 --> 01:31:40.920
quickly for a lot of those same people, who are
1827
01:31:40.920 --> 01:31:44.079
trying to make it seem worse because it's not actually
1828
01:31:44.079 --> 01:31:46.800
going to harm the president at all, or the impact
1829
01:31:46.840 --> 01:31:49.479
and the belief that what he's doing to a lot
1830
01:31:49.479 --> 01:31:51.359
of people is the right thing. I know a lot
1831
01:31:51.359 --> 01:31:54.920
of people think that the ongoing fight with Venezuela is
1832
01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:57.119
not a good decision. I'm not going to pretend as
1833
01:31:57.159 --> 01:31:59.840
though the poll numbers don't seem to demonstrate that by
1834
01:32:00.039 --> 01:32:02.279
and largest substantial amount of people don't want to see
1835
01:32:02.319 --> 01:32:05.000
war with Venezuela. I get that I don't want to
1836
01:32:05.039 --> 01:32:09.359
see that either or either honestly. At the same time,
1837
01:32:09.399 --> 01:32:11.720
I also don't want us to be so weak in
1838
01:32:11.720 --> 01:32:14.159
the face of what we think are bad things happening
1839
01:32:14.600 --> 01:32:16.000
that we refuse to do anything.
1840
01:32:16.319 --> 01:32:18.520
There has to be a middle ground in that.
1841
01:32:18.399 --> 01:32:21.039
World of what we should do and what we hope
1842
01:32:21.119 --> 01:32:24.439
doesn't occur, and I think that we're trying to find
1843
01:32:24.479 --> 01:32:28.000
that middle ground will also potentially trying to disrupt the
1844
01:32:28.039 --> 01:32:30.720
biggest avenue, as I keep saying, filling in on the
1845
01:32:30.760 --> 01:32:35.479
show to how people circumvent the financial sanctions, the financial
1846
01:32:35.520 --> 01:32:37.199
impact the United States tries.
1847
01:32:37.000 --> 01:32:40.560
To have on other parts of the world, whether it's Russia, China,
1848
01:32:40.640 --> 01:32:41.119
what have you.
1849
01:32:41.720 --> 01:32:44.119
Venezuela is a big component of that, and we are
1850
01:32:44.239 --> 01:32:46.880
trying as best we can, I think, to actually get
1851
01:32:46.920 --> 01:32:51.279
involved in a way that stunts some of that circumventing us.
1852
01:32:51.600 --> 01:32:53.760
All Right, Another thing out there that I think is interesting.
1853
01:32:54.840 --> 01:32:58.800
Adam Kinsinger went viral on the internet as only the
1854
01:32:58.840 --> 01:33:01.880
annoying I think cry and Kinsinger as some column can do,
1855
01:33:02.520 --> 01:33:06.520
saying that in three years, all the buildings, federal buildings
1856
01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:09.039
and whatnot that have had Trump's name added to them,
1857
01:33:09.359 --> 01:33:12.319
or even other names that Trump has has created for
1858
01:33:12.359 --> 01:33:15.800
these buildings, they'll all be taken down. According to Kinsinger,
1859
01:33:15.840 --> 01:33:17.520
all of these signs will be put in a giant
1860
01:33:17.520 --> 01:33:20.720
bonfire on National TV, and they'll burn it all. They'll
1861
01:33:20.720 --> 01:33:24.560
burn all the stuff that Trump has put in place.
1862
01:33:25.079 --> 01:33:27.720
This is a weird thing to go out there and
1863
01:33:27.800 --> 01:33:30.720
rant about. And I'll tell you what it actually could do.
1864
01:33:31.399 --> 01:33:34.920
Nothing good, nothing valuable, nothing Kinsinger wants it to do.
1865
01:33:35.399 --> 01:33:37.640
But it might cause us to have a new version
1866
01:33:37.680 --> 01:33:40.520
of every person who gets elected into the position of
1867
01:33:40.560 --> 01:33:43.800
the White House pushes a whole bunch of like executive
1868
01:33:43.880 --> 01:33:46.520
orders to change the names of stuff we might have,
1869
01:33:46.680 --> 01:33:48.760
because we already have a version of executive order that
1870
01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:53.359
happens in other ways that forces like these agenda pieces
1871
01:33:53.359 --> 01:33:55.399
that I don't think are ever going to get through
1872
01:33:55.439 --> 01:33:59.039
our government channels, I'm going to try to get them done. Biden,
1873
01:33:59.079 --> 01:34:01.640
of course tried to forgive student loans via executive action.
1874
01:34:01.760 --> 01:34:04.720
That didn't work so well. But whatever it might be,
1875
01:34:05.840 --> 01:34:08.560
that's already a thing happening. This feels like the latest
1876
01:34:08.640 --> 01:34:12.039
dumb fight in that world where now I want to
1877
01:34:12.039 --> 01:34:14.039
rename all the buildings. I want to make sure they're
1878
01:34:14.079 --> 01:34:16.479
all something, and I want to go as woke as possible.
1879
01:34:16.760 --> 01:34:18.840
And then Trump goes back to whatever he goes or
1880
01:34:18.840 --> 01:34:21.520
who's ever after him of course changes it. But this
1881
01:34:21.720 --> 01:34:26.199
would be so stupid and so beyond anything the American
1882
01:34:26.199 --> 01:34:29.000
people would actually care about. But to Adam Kinsinger, it's
1883
01:34:29.000 --> 01:34:30.800
a big deal. So he wanted to go out there
1884
01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:33.319
and fight the good fight by saying we're burning all
1885
01:34:33.359 --> 01:34:36.880
of these signs, which is beyond stupid. All right, another
1886
01:34:37.319 --> 01:34:40.079
story I saw out there and I thought this was interesting,
1887
01:34:40.359 --> 01:34:42.960
and I might not have addressed it in this segment,
1888
01:34:43.039 --> 01:34:45.359
might have waited to like a quick five, but I
1889
01:34:45.359 --> 01:34:49.079
think it's interesting enough. Police drones are being used more
1890
01:34:49.119 --> 01:34:52.279
often now to issue tickets there's a story in the
1891
01:34:52.279 --> 01:34:55.600
Wall Street Journal about this happening in Miami that police
1892
01:34:55.600 --> 01:34:59.039
are remote piloting drones around like the beach when it's
1893
01:34:59.039 --> 01:35:01.479
supposed to be closed and seeing if people are on it,
1894
01:35:01.800 --> 01:35:05.319
and then somehow capturing those individuals, you know, via camera
1895
01:35:05.359 --> 01:35:08.600
and whatnot, and then inevitably issuing them a ticket. There's
1896
01:35:08.600 --> 01:35:11.960
a likelihood that these law enforcement drones are going to
1897
01:35:11.960 --> 01:35:14.399
be used in more and more ways, whether it's to
1898
01:35:14.439 --> 01:35:17.199
catch you speeding, running a red light, whatever it might be,
1899
01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:20.479
that more and more often your ticket may be issued
1900
01:35:20.560 --> 01:35:23.479
via drone. And the immediate complaint is that this is
1901
01:35:23.640 --> 01:35:27.680
just more versions of gouging the American people, of doing
1902
01:35:27.720 --> 01:35:32.439
everything you can to find the most ways possible to essentially,
1903
01:35:32.920 --> 01:35:36.560
you know, corruptly take money from us in ways that
1904
01:35:36.600 --> 01:35:39.960
you shouldn't be doing it. That is the easy I
1905
01:35:40.000 --> 01:35:42.720
think reaction to this, and I think there's truth to it.
1906
01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:44.319
I wouldn't say it out loud if.
1907
01:35:44.199 --> 01:35:45.880
I didn't think there was any truth to the idea
1908
01:35:46.239 --> 01:35:49.960
that all of this is just more financial schemes, more
1909
01:35:49.960 --> 01:35:52.760
than anything else, being done by the government to take
1910
01:35:52.800 --> 01:35:55.199
your money when you don't need to be giving it
1911
01:35:55.239 --> 01:35:58.039
to them. That often I would say another thing though,
1912
01:35:58.119 --> 01:36:01.239
in response to this, outside of it just being that,
1913
01:36:02.359 --> 01:36:04.800
the other thing I would say is don't do the crime.
1914
01:36:05.239 --> 01:36:07.039
And that's the obvious thing, not.
1915
01:36:06.960 --> 01:36:10.079
Just the extortion part and the extortion racket part, but
1916
01:36:10.199 --> 01:36:13.319
also if I want to avoid the drone from issuing
1917
01:36:13.319 --> 01:36:16.600
me a ticket, then don't do the thing that's ticket worthy,
1918
01:36:16.880 --> 01:36:19.279
whether that's going on the beaches of Miami when you
1919
01:36:19.279 --> 01:36:19.840
shouldn't be.
1920
01:36:19.840 --> 01:36:22.199
There, or you know, running the red light, whatever that.
1921
01:36:22.279 --> 01:36:25.039
Might be, if that actually stops that stuff from happening.
1922
01:36:25.399 --> 01:36:28.079
And I know there's a fine line between being on
1923
01:36:28.119 --> 01:36:31.279
both sides of this issue, which I absolutely am. People
1924
01:36:31.279 --> 01:36:33.680
getting tickets for like five miles over the speed limit
1925
01:36:34.000 --> 01:36:36.920
issued via drone is insane, and if that happens a
1926
01:36:36.960 --> 01:36:39.399
lot of places, that is rightfully thought of is insane,
1927
01:36:39.840 --> 01:36:43.279
and extortion and racketeering. If people are going twenty miles
1928
01:36:43.279 --> 01:36:45.359
over the speed limit and it's a drone that catches
1929
01:36:45.399 --> 01:36:48.720
them instead of a police officer, there's a reason to
1930
01:36:48.760 --> 01:36:50.920
think that that might actually be okay, that there might
1931
01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:53.720
be a benefit to society in that being a thing,
1932
01:36:54.279 --> 01:36:57.079
But by and large, a whole lot more places being
1933
01:36:57.520 --> 01:37:00.520
you know, policed by a version of Big Brother is
1934
01:37:00.560 --> 01:37:04.199
potentially out there, and that's not good. That sounds definitely
1935
01:37:04.319 --> 01:37:06.960
more bad than good. If I had to guess which
1936
01:37:06.960 --> 01:37:09.159
one it is, I would err on the side of
1937
01:37:09.199 --> 01:37:11.640
not doing this. Let me go that far into say
1938
01:37:11.640 --> 01:37:13.479
this as opposed to it being a thing. But it
1939
01:37:13.520 --> 01:37:16.920
also does sound like an inevitable reality of the development
1940
01:37:16.960 --> 01:37:20.319
of technology. Of course, there's already speed traps that exist
1941
01:37:20.399 --> 01:37:21.159
in our society.
1942
01:37:21.399 --> 01:37:22.960
There's already a bunch of different.
1943
01:37:22.680 --> 01:37:25.760
Ways to try to circumvent those speed traps, and so
1944
01:37:25.840 --> 01:37:28.359
getting drones in the air that do certain things to
1945
01:37:28.399 --> 01:37:31.720
issue petty tickets to the American people, it feels like
1946
01:37:31.760 --> 01:37:35.079
an inevitable result of the government having access to the
1947
01:37:35.079 --> 01:37:38.359
technology that gets them that chance. Like it just sounds
1948
01:37:38.399 --> 01:37:40.760
like it'll occur, and it'll occur a whole lot of places,
1949
01:37:40.760 --> 01:37:43.159
and it'll be terrible, more so than good for us.
1950
01:37:43.720 --> 01:37:45.920
But the best circumvention of it, the best way to
1951
01:37:45.920 --> 01:37:48.760
prevent it for you and me, is to follow those
1952
01:37:48.840 --> 01:37:51.159
rules and to fight the hell out of tickets that
1953
01:37:51.199 --> 01:37:53.880
are complete crap that get sent to us that make
1954
01:37:53.920 --> 01:37:57.319
no sense at all. One last thing, and I might
1955
01:37:57.359 --> 01:37:59.000
mention this more after the break, but I did think
1956
01:37:59.039 --> 01:38:03.680
it was interesting, a surprisingly successful treatment for lower back
1957
01:38:03.720 --> 01:38:06.680
pain according to two brand new drug trials and studies
1958
01:38:07.039 --> 01:38:10.479
which I'm guessing may have been funded by organizations that
1959
01:38:10.560 --> 01:38:15.479
work in this field. Pot THHD THHD specifically cannabis not
1960
01:38:15.520 --> 01:38:20.720
necessarily just straight up smoking pot, but THHC based extracts
1961
01:38:21.079 --> 01:38:24.159
may help reduce the amount of back pain for more
1962
01:38:24.199 --> 01:38:27.640
and more Americans. There are a lot of studies coming out,
1963
01:38:27.920 --> 01:38:31.000
and President Trump did do something recently on a federal
1964
01:38:31.079 --> 01:38:33.960
level that seems to be paving the way for the
1965
01:38:33.960 --> 01:38:37.039
ability for more companies to do more things in the
1966
01:38:37.079 --> 01:38:40.159
world of cannabis. But anyway, it seems like there's more
1967
01:38:40.199 --> 01:38:42.319
and more studies all the time coming out saying that
1968
01:38:42.319 --> 01:38:45.920
there are benefits. I happen to be in the minority
1969
01:38:46.119 --> 01:38:48.399
on this when I talk about it, and it's not
1970
01:38:48.439 --> 01:38:51.199
that I'm unaware. I'm a person who has in my
1971
01:38:51.279 --> 01:38:56.520
lifetime tried this exact drug. I've tried pot before. Just
1972
01:38:56.560 --> 01:38:58.560
putting it out there. I'm not telling you when I
1973
01:38:58.600 --> 01:39:00.880
don't admit to any sort of crime. But anyway, it's
1974
01:39:00.880 --> 01:39:03.600
something that I'm not unfamiliar with, although I never really
1975
01:39:03.640 --> 01:39:06.199
did a lot of that, and I do see the
1976
01:39:06.279 --> 01:39:09.439
impact negatively it has on people who get addicted to it.
1977
01:39:09.640 --> 01:39:11.880
I've seen it multiple times, and it's not necessarily the
1978
01:39:11.920 --> 01:39:14.720
same as someone who's even addicted to drinking and the
1979
01:39:14.720 --> 01:39:16.960
amount of havoc it has in your life, but it
1980
01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:19.840
certainly has an impact. And there's certainly people I've known
1981
01:39:19.960 --> 01:39:23.840
professionally who probably would be way better. I laugh at
1982
01:39:23.880 --> 01:39:25.720
that because I think about them and the way they
1983
01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:28.960
behave way better at their job if they weren't smoking
1984
01:39:29.000 --> 01:39:31.239
pot all the time or high all the time.
1985
01:39:31.479 --> 01:39:32.479
So it is what it is.
1986
01:39:33.039 --> 01:39:35.720
I do believe that there might be value, and our
1987
01:39:35.760 --> 01:39:40.199
society might continue to barrel toward the inevitable ubiquity of
1988
01:39:40.239 --> 01:39:44.479
people using it, much like people drink alcohol, since one
1989
01:39:44.560 --> 01:39:46.960
is obviously much more legal throughout the entirety of the
1990
01:39:47.000 --> 01:39:49.319
world or at least the country, than the other one.
1991
01:39:49.680 --> 01:39:52.520
But nonetheless I do also see the danger, especially for
1992
01:39:52.600 --> 01:39:55.960
younger people. The younger you are, there actually are studies
1993
01:39:56.000 --> 01:40:00.319
that say that you might have your mental growth stuff hunted,
1994
01:40:01.079 --> 01:40:04.159
meaning you'll be a less intelligent person depending on when
1995
01:40:04.199 --> 01:40:07.039
you first start consuming pot in marijuana, So there is
1996
01:40:07.039 --> 01:40:09.640
an age issue out of this thing, among many other
1997
01:40:09.680 --> 01:40:11.760
studies that say there is bad.
1998
01:40:11.560 --> 01:40:12.479
That comes with the good.
1999
01:40:12.960 --> 01:40:14.600
So I just think it's interesting that it's out there,
2000
01:40:14.640 --> 01:40:16.920
that it's another version of Hey, it might help in
2001
01:40:16.960 --> 01:40:19.560
this way. But people who pretend that there is no
2002
01:40:19.680 --> 01:40:23.039
side effect, there is no negative, there is no bad
2003
01:40:23.159 --> 01:40:25.079
side to the coin might be the best way to
2004
01:40:25.119 --> 01:40:28.560
say it. They're lying if either they're doing it on
2005
01:40:28.600 --> 01:40:31.319
purpose or by accident, but they know that they're ignoring
2006
01:40:31.359 --> 01:40:34.079
that other part. And usually the excuse is, well, drinking
2007
01:40:34.119 --> 01:40:36.840
is bad for you. Well this is bad for you too. Well, sure,
2008
01:40:37.199 --> 01:40:39.760
but that doesn't mean the thing that you're defending just
2009
01:40:39.800 --> 01:40:43.119
got better. It means it also has a negative component
2010
01:40:43.159 --> 01:40:45.760
to it. I don't love how people discuss that and
2011
01:40:45.800 --> 01:40:48.399
won't admit that part again, regardless of what you think
2012
01:40:48.439 --> 01:40:51.520
should happen legally, I do think that you do have
2013
01:40:51.600 --> 01:40:54.479
to add all the variables into the equation before having
2014
01:40:54.520 --> 01:40:57.199
an honest discussion about it. All right, quick break, A
2015
01:40:57.199 --> 01:40:59.600

bit of time left on the show just before the holidays. DLASH,
2024
01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:26.520
Dana Lash Radio and X on Twitter a great ways
2025
01:41:26.560 --> 01:41:29.039

2026
01:41:29.039 --> 01:41:31.439
stuff that she's doing all the time on social media.
2027
01:41:32.039 --> 01:41:34.319
At Radio, Craig c. If for some reason you want
2028
01:41:34.319 --> 01:41:36.239
to follow me and the like five hundred people on
2029
01:41:36.279 --> 01:41:39.680
Twitter that follow my very seldomly active.
2030
01:41:39.399 --> 01:41:41.399
Page, feel free. That'd be awesome.
2031
01:41:41.600 --> 01:41:43.520
Maybe if I get to like a thousand, I'll promise
2032
01:41:43.560 --> 01:41:46.720
to start tweeting all the time. Still pales in comparison
2033
01:41:47.000 --> 01:41:49.560
to the tons and tons of people that follow, and
2034
01:41:49.640 --> 01:41:53.279
you should too at DLASH At Dana Lash Radio, let's
2035
01:41:53.279 --> 01:41:53.960
do this.
2036
01:41:54.520 --> 01:41:57.000
Naked flying is a social media trend.
2037
01:41:57.399 --> 01:41:59.319
You're not getting naked and showing up at the airport
2038
01:41:59.479 --> 01:42:01.880
that would probably to get you arrested. You're showing up
2039
01:42:01.920 --> 01:42:04.560
without any luggage of any kind, not even a backpack.
2040
01:42:04.840 --> 01:42:07.520
It's just you your cell phone, maybe a charger in
2041
01:42:07.560 --> 01:42:11.279
a pocket, a wallet, whatever, But you're doing nothing else.
2042
01:42:11.600 --> 01:42:15.000
You're going wherever you're going maybe you'll acquire some items there,
2043
01:42:15.159 --> 01:42:17.680
depending on how long you're staying, and you'll leave them
2044
01:42:17.680 --> 01:42:19.720
all because when you're coming back, you're not bringing any
2045
01:42:19.760 --> 01:42:23.399
of that stuff with you. I love this idea. I
2046
01:42:23.399 --> 01:42:26.079
feel like I've done it before on like a day
2047
01:42:26.079 --> 01:42:29.479
trip somewhere, especially when I'm working for somebody and they
2048
01:42:29.520 --> 01:42:31.880
make me fly somewhere for twenty four hours and then
2049
01:42:31.960 --> 01:42:34.439
fly back, which has happened a few times, but by
2050
01:42:34.520 --> 01:42:36.840
and large, like of course, people don't do this. I
2051
01:42:36.880 --> 01:42:38.760
will tell you that whenever I have done it, people
2052
01:42:38.800 --> 01:42:40.680
look at you like you're crazy. When you show up
2053
01:42:40.680 --> 01:42:41.960
at the airport and you're getting on a flight and
2054
01:42:42.000 --> 01:42:44.199
you got nothing, They look at you in the security
2055
01:42:44.239 --> 01:42:46.800
line like you're definitely the bad guy, even though you're
2056
01:42:46.840 --> 01:42:50.039
obviously not. You're just a guy that's traveling light. But
2057
01:42:50.079 --> 01:42:52.560
there is something freeing about doing it, too, so I
2058
01:42:52.640 --> 01:42:56.640
highly recommend more people try this. My favorite version of
2059
01:42:56.680 --> 01:42:59.000
this in my own life is whenever my wife and
2060
01:42:59.039 --> 01:43:01.079
I travel back to Mecca, which is where she was
2061
01:43:01.119 --> 01:43:04.199
born and raised. She is now a US citizen, but
2062
01:43:04.239 --> 01:43:06.239
whenever we go back there, she's still got a room
2063
01:43:06.359 --> 01:43:08.720
in her parents' house. She still has her clothes, in
2064
01:43:08.720 --> 01:43:10.880
the closet, all that stuff they've left it for her.
2065
01:43:11.159 --> 01:43:14.560
It'll probably be there forever. And we're in our forties.
2066
01:43:14.239 --> 01:43:16.640
So it's not like this is a thing that's only
2067
01:43:16.680 --> 01:43:19.159
been around for a little bit of time. But every
2068
01:43:19.239 --> 01:43:22.119
time we go to Mexico, the wife packs a full
2069
01:43:22.880 --> 01:43:25.079
set of stuff, and I always think to myself, you
2070
01:43:25.159 --> 01:43:28.600
have stuff there. If anyone were ever to go with
2071
01:43:28.640 --> 01:43:31.000
nothing and show up and have everything you need and
2072
01:43:31.000 --> 01:43:33.560
then come back with everything you need, it's her in
2073
01:43:33.560 --> 01:43:35.840
that place, And yet it doesn't happen. You got to
2074
01:43:35.880 --> 01:43:39.079
pack other things. There's usually presents for all the nieces
2075
01:43:39.079 --> 01:43:42.319
and nephews, So how dare I suggest that you could
2076
01:43:42.319 --> 01:43:45.000
travel with nothing? It is kind of awesome, though, to
2077
01:43:45.039 --> 01:43:48.520
watch it happen. Another story out there also a trending
2078
01:43:49.239 --> 01:43:52.479
viral thing, probably mostly that young people are doing. It's
2079
01:43:52.520 --> 01:43:57.439
called embracing the soft life era of your life. This means,
2080
01:43:57.640 --> 01:44:00.479
to other people, the lazy part of your life. This
2081
01:44:00.520 --> 01:44:03.760
is where you're rejecting quote hustle culture. So you're not
2082
01:44:03.800 --> 01:44:06.439
trying that hard to do more than whatever it is
2083
01:44:06.479 --> 01:44:08.840
you're doing, maybe as your day time gig or you're
2084
01:44:08.880 --> 01:44:12.520
not trying to push yourself to succeed in any more places.
2085
01:44:12.720 --> 01:44:15.600
You're doing enough, essentially, is the idea. And I think
2086
01:44:15.640 --> 01:44:18.319
even if you're doing very little, some people still say
2087
01:44:18.359 --> 01:44:22.039
that it's doing enough. You're prioritizing quote, mental health over
2088
01:44:22.079 --> 01:44:24.399
everything else, so you're relaxing.
2089
01:44:24.000 --> 01:44:25.800
A lot, You're enjoying your time away.
2090
01:44:26.359 --> 01:44:29.520
I find that to be somewhat hilarious because of course
2091
01:44:29.560 --> 01:44:32.720
there's good that can come from that. Occasionally you need
2092
01:44:32.760 --> 01:44:35.279
a break. We all need a break, but too much
2093
01:44:35.319 --> 01:44:38.199
break seems bad, and this seems to be the defense
2094
01:44:38.239 --> 01:44:40.319
of that. That someone who's being yelled at that they're
2095
01:44:40.319 --> 01:44:43.199
spending too much time not doing anything is probably the
2096
01:44:43.239 --> 01:44:46.039
person that claims they're embracing their soft life era.
2097
01:44:46.399 --> 01:44:46.720
All right.
2098
01:44:46.760 --> 01:44:47.520
One last thing.
2099
01:44:47.800 --> 01:44:50.239
Producer Steven made me aware of this, even though it's
2100
01:44:50.279 --> 01:44:53.039
a viral video from almost a couple of years ago now,
2101
01:44:53.399 --> 01:44:55.960
But I was chatting with him off air about plans
2102
01:44:55.960 --> 01:44:58.000
for New Year's Eve if he has fancy ones if
2103
01:44:58.000 --> 01:45:00.439
I do, I mentioned to him that I'm act going
2104
01:45:00.479 --> 01:45:01.600
to Galveston, Texas.
2105
01:45:02.079 --> 01:45:04.359
We're going to stay at a beach, you know, hotel
2106
01:45:04.439 --> 01:45:04.960
and stuff.
2107
01:45:05.359 --> 01:45:07.199
My wife has come up with this whole plan our
2108
01:45:07.239 --> 01:45:09.319
first year in Texas, and it sounds like a lot
2109
01:45:09.319 --> 01:45:11.680
of fun, even though I'm working a lot more than her.
2110
01:45:11.760 --> 01:45:13.439
So part of me also feels like I will be
2111
01:45:13.479 --> 01:45:16.399
tired at ten thirty at night, regardless of what party
2112
01:45:16.399 --> 01:45:20.079
I'm at. But anyway, Charles Barkley, famously who played for
2113
01:45:20.119 --> 01:45:24.039
the Houston Rockets at one point crapped all over Galveston's beaches.
2114
01:45:24.359 --> 01:45:26.039
So now I get to think about this while I'm
2115
01:45:26.039 --> 01:45:26.760
at the Galveston beach.
2116
01:45:26.760 --> 01:45:28.720
Here we go here here for Kenny the Jutchman.
2117
01:45:28.840 --> 01:45:31.000
What disappointed noise?
2118
01:45:31.000 --> 01:45:35.239
Where they're going, Chuck, Galveston thirty half water, They're not
2119
01:45:35.279 --> 01:45:37.399
even We're not even sitting in the KNT cool. We're
2120
01:45:37.399 --> 01:45:40.880
gonna sit there the Galveston water step on the show.
2121
01:45:41.159 --> 01:45:45.159
People think they're in the beach. Y'all, y we all
2122
01:45:45.199 --> 01:45:48.079
go sit, y'all? A can't y'all drive? Y'all y'all quit?
2123
01:45:48.479 --> 01:45:48.720
Drive?
2124
01:45:48.800 --> 01:45:50.079
Yeah down to Galveston.
2125
01:45:50.359 --> 01:45:54.079
Yeah, Galveston is the non beach beach. According to Chuck,
2126
01:45:54.159 --> 01:45:55.920
that happened a couple of years ago. As I said,
2127
01:45:56.479 --> 01:45:59.560
people in Galveston, politicians and whatnot try to defend themselves.
2128
01:46:00.119 --> 01:46:02.560
But the look of the water as described, even if
2129
01:46:02.560 --> 01:46:04.680
you scoop it out and it seems cleaner. It does
2130
01:46:04.720 --> 01:46:07.039
seem like a punishment beach. So that's where I'll be
2131
01:46:07.039 --> 01:46:09.000
in a couple of days. Thrilled to be on with
2132
01:46:09.079 --> 01:46:11.560
you A. Dana back soon. Craig Collins filling in on
2133
01:46:11.560 --> 01:46:12.239
the Danish show
