The Dani Cook Show

Trigger Warning

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. 

Us and Them

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

White America's Bird Box: It's History

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. 

The Man Behind the Monopoly

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. 

Good, Necessary Trouble

Dani shares an excerpt from her TikTok Live on the first day of Black History Month. The conversation is with a white listener who appears to believe in the replacement theory or at least believes that Black Americans want to "eliminate" white Americans. Be sure and listen through until the end.  

Crowe-nyism

Ballad Health has a service region that is geographically the size of New Jersey. They own almost every hospital and over 90% of inpatient care. How was this  medical monopoly legally created? The scary part is that a majority of states in the country have the existing legislation to make it happen. CORRECTION: Bella’s weight was 1 pound 4.5 ounces with tubing, etc at birth. 

James, Jesus, and Congress

Dani takes a look at proposed resolutions in Congress and the words of James Madison, one of our founding fathers to give us some perspective on what's happening today and what we might need to do about it. 

This is how WE Win

(Notice: This episode contains adult language.)Dani shares a portion of a Facebook Live where she speaks with a Trump supporter about the first 5 days under Trump, his executive orders, and the impact on people. 

Monopoly isn't just a Game

Dani speaks with Dr. Alex Maki, general surgeon and daughter, who recently experienced the care delivered to her father, a doctor specializing in infectious disease, at Ballad Health's Holston Valley Medical Center. Ballad Health is a state-sanctioned medical monopoly operating in northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia.

Free Speech - Kinda

With the ban of TikTok and other social media apps due to "national security concerns", many are waking up with the realization that maybe we aren't as free as we thought.
