The Dani Cook Show

The parallel timelines of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Erez Reuveni in 2025 are incredible and before we can even get there, we have to know what our government did the first time we encountered Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It's Unbelievable.

This conversation with Felix, a Trump supporter, started off pretty heated discussing Medicaid and SNAP cuts, then it turned to a conversation about trans students/athletes, and finally about his daughter who had come out to him. This conversation is what makes the work worthwhile and keeps me coming back to it every day.

Dani interviews Michigan gubernatorial candidate, Marni Sawicki, and talks all things Michigan including PFAS, infrastructure, housing, healthcare, veterans, and government transparency. 

Dani takes on a MAGA 1:1 discussing trans rights and the 2nd Amendment while Live on TikTok. Take a listen and hear what she believes the Democratic Party is missing in the way it does messaging. 

Dani takes a look at a few members of the Trump Administration, their qualifications (or lack thereof), and exactly what it could mean for the people and the country. 

Dani tackles the use of Christianity to support the Trump administration and its attack on unauthorized immigrants in this country and to condemn the people who support humanity. Bring your Bible. 

Ben Shapiro, one of the most prominent conservative voices and head of The Daily Wire, had some interesting thoughts about King Charles' land acknowledgment in Canada. 

A look at Medicaid statistics, real ones, the impact of proposed cuts, and the world we live in where people are mad about government-funded healthcare coverage but perfectly okay with their tax dollars funding corporations who don't provide health insurance or pay a livable wage.

Dani shares her thoughts around democratic messaging, political conversations, and just what is needed in order for us to be successful in not just saving democracy, but also saving each other.

What world are we in when I find myself agreeing with Mitch McConnell and Ben Shapiro? This definitely wasn't on my bingo card for this year.

Dani takes a look at Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth's, use of the social messaging app, Signal, to discuss classified military plans with both his Pentagon and personal phones. The first, included the journalist/editor of The Atlantic. The second, included his wife, brother, and lawyer. 

Dani looks at the misinformation of the Trump Campaign and GOP legislators leading up to the 2024 election, the deportation of Abrego Garcia, Due Process, and the court cases surrounding it.

Dani discusses the Hands Off Protests, Cory Bookers record-breaking filibuster along with some points that we may want to be mindful of as we move forward in the fight to save democracy. 

Dani speaks with Joe Sudbay, host of State of the State on SiriusXM Progress, Channel 127, to discuss the latest impacts of the new administration, changes on the state legislature level, and what we can do together to protect each other and democracy.

Dani discusses the recent comments from Chuck Schumer, Senate Majority Leader, the current state of democracy, and the various roads available to us in order to bring people, and our politics, together. 

Dani discusses the recent viewing of the documentary, 13th, with her subscribers and the impact of the information on our society. There is a much needed conversation around slavery, race, mass incarceration, immigration, and the current presidential administration that we must have and we must find a way to have it with those who are most resistant to it. 

Dani discusses the USAID, DEI, and more with a MAGA/Trump Supporter. 

Dani looks at the words of James Baldwin, Lee Atwater, and reactions to Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance for an interesting discussion around race, history, and the lies of white America. It's history is it's Bird Box; if they see it, it will kill them. 

Dani takes a brief and detailed look at the work history of Ballad Health's CEO, Alan Levine. While it doesn't say what is happening at Ballad Health today, the work history of the person leading a state-sanctioned medical monopoly that services a region geographically the size of New Jersey and approximately 1.2million people might be of interest.
