Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 2: My name is Craig Collins, filling in at d Lash
Dana Lash Radio and X great ways to stay connected
to her all the awesome stuff that she and her
team does in the world of social media. And then
at Radio greig Z if you want to see what
it's like to not have a team of people like
producer Steven doing awesome stuff along with you. And Dana
has way more in social media than I'd ever do,
so follow me if you want way less content at
Radio creig Z. Again, just because I feel like I
should throw it out there whenever I fill in on
this fancy show. President Trump has temporarily backed away from
plans to escalate the war against Iran. There's a lot
of reporting last week of contemplating a massive new strike,
whatever that meant, and a lot of people just took
that as more bombing, more significant bombing. But he was
told that if we did too much of that too quickly,
it would potentially deplete the US Air defense missile stockpiles
in certain places in the Middle East in a way
that might risk American lives a military life, so he
decided to back off for now. Who knows when and
if that's something that we do again, if that stockpile
can be replenished quicker now that it's been confirmed that
it's a thing we were even worried about, which, of
course it can, and then who knows. We'll see where
this goes. There's also reporting that JD. Vance and others
are pushing President Trump to back down a little bit.
And the reason I thought this was so interesting and
listening to Dana on this show a lot, there is
a conversation about when Vance differs from the President and
how significantly he differs, and what's actually going on behind
the scenes.
Speaker 1: And there are people like me who when you consume
something that JD.
Speaker 2: Vance does in the world of mainstream media, you don't
hate him the way that other people do. A lot
of the left seems to hate him for what's good
about him, the eloquence, the way in which he navigates
certain conversations compared to how Trump, say would do it.
Even though I'm entertained by Trump, a lot of people
take shots at him that you can't take Advance. However,
there does seem to be more and more examples of
that thing that some are talking about, including Dana, which
is his own agenda. Jade Vance's what it looks like
where he's going. The interviews he does that you would
think he wouldn't do, because they do seem to be
a little less supportive of President Trump than they should be.
When you sit down with someone who has trashed Trump
relentlessly and don't even really bring up the way that
they've treated the president your boss, it does seem like
he's more focused, potentially on himself. And once the midterms
are officially over, I wonder how much different that will
be because Vance will probably be trying to run for
president himself at that point, so who knows. And honestly,
I will say this, even though I don't know that
it's a good strategy for Vance specifically. It is one
of the things that was so bad about the Harris
campaign is how little she tried to distance herself from Biden,
who was doing a terrible job in office. Not that
it was the only thing and only reason that she
was so bad. That Harris's campaign was such a train
wreck and so likely to have lost, I think to
a lot of people, but easily to President Trump, who
won the popular vote. As we remember, and I love
to point out I love to point that out to
lefties whenever I talk to someone on the left who
tells me how everybody hates Trump again, and I'm like,
it's so weird you say that, because I just want
you to remember he won the popular vote. But anyway,
the thing that I'm thinking about in the world advance
is he might believe that he might believe that Trump
is less popular and want to distance himself, And I
actually think that would hurt him within the Republican Party
because most data says that Trump is still widely liked
and widely approved of, more so than Obama or anyone
else at this point in their second term was in
recent history. Trump is a very popular president on the
conservative side of the aisle, so pushing too far away
from it may in fact be a mistake. Benjaminett Yahoo
also talked to Fox News and said that if Ron
is to attack Israel in some sort of larger capacity,
they will regret it because Israel will attack back even harder.
People are guessing as to what exactly this means, but
I think it means something very similar to what the
United States was talking about, a ramped up bombing campaign.
And I know some people out there are trying to
claim it means something more significant than that.
Speaker 1: I don't think it.
Speaker 2: Does, but you judge for yourself. Here is the audio
of net Yahoo's saying Ron would regret trying to attack
us more significantly than they currently already are.
Speaker 3: They're one thing, and I think I should say it
very very clearly. If Iran attacks Israel, either directly or
through proxies, either with ballistic missiles or UAVs or killer drones,
it will make a terrible mistake because our response, Israel's
response will be very, very forceful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some people are interpreting that to me, and a
nuclear weapon could be involved in some sort of fight,
and I just obviously don't believe that at all to
be the case. Is where net Nyah, who is especially
as the United States says it's stepping down, not up
its attack for now. There is also this video. I
was thinking about not playing this, but I'm going to
do it.
Speaker 1: Why not.
Speaker 2: There's this video of Lindsey Graham having a conversation with
Benjamin Netnaho that some people I think are purposefully misrepresenting
because they think it feeds some sort of narrative that
Israel is in control of the United States, And so
again I think this is unfair in a lot of ways.
One of course, is the fact that Lindsay Graham has
passed away. So even creating this sort of narrative, now
you don't give the person who would be most likely
to react to this an opportunity to defend themself. But
also to me, it just doesn't seem like the kind
of thing people are saying is Lindsay Graham. Was he
a huge supporter of Israel? Yes, he was outspoken. And
would it make sense then that the world leader of
another country would have phone calls with a supportive senator
and push that senator to say, lobby the president and
others to do the things they want done. Yeah, that
does make sense, But it doesn't demonstrate control of someone's opinion,
which is the most important part of this discussion. If
Lindsay authentically, which I believe he did, just supported Israel,
then none of this is shady. The only way it's
shady is if someone's being forced to do something. I
don't know why people don't understand that in all honesty, like,
we're all able to have an opinion, we're all able
to decide who we support and who we don't support,
and then direct communication with people you've chosen on your
own to support well in a position of power is
wildly different than communication that's forced on you. But here
I'll play the audio so that we can at least
judge it together. Some are saying that this is a
strong demonstration proof in fact that the United States quote
sold their souls to Israel, and that Israel is in
control of at least some of the people here in
this country. But there's also video of this, which to
me is even more strange. Right, but someone took this
video and Lindsey would have let them take it, and
this is the conversation they had. Like it seems, I'll
say this before I hit play. It seems that people
are so dumb now in the world of social media
videos that some seem to think that any sort of
candid camera thing that happened. They do think that people
are unaware of the camera's recording, And I think that
that's wildly impossible in today's society to not unless it's
a hidden camera, which this isn't, to think that anybody
anywhere is unaware when they're on camera. I actually love
the jokes where they pretend that the camera guy is
faster than the police, because whenever somebody's running, who's ever
running in front of them seems to be doing it
better than everybody else. They should just let the camera
guys start arresting more people. But that's just one example
of stuff. And again there's a lot of them. But
here I'll play the audio because some are reacting away
that I think is crazy.
Speaker 4: Do you have it on speaker?
Speaker 1: Ryan, Yep, we're good.
Speaker 5: Okay, you know yeah, Hey bb lindsay, I couldn't.
Speaker 2: I'm just so impressed, glad to be your friend.
Speaker 3: I'm going to meet with the president this weekend.
Speaker 1: I'm going down to DURRL.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna try to get into join with y'all in Lebanon.
Speaker 1: To maybe fly some with you.
Speaker 5: Would you like that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I get that. I think I think you have
a point. But I've been thinking about the other side
of it for a second. Concentrating right now on your own.
If we tell Chris Baba that we're going all the
way them, but if we actually do it, okay, and
they have no reason not to go all the way
against us, Okay, that's.
Speaker 2: Interesting, Okay it later, Well, I'll okay, Well, that's that's
actually good counsel.
Speaker 3: I'll put it out there as an idea.
Speaker 1: We can always go back to it.
Speaker 2: So essentially, what you're hearing in that audio is BB
telling Lindsey Graham that the Israeli focuses on Iran and
not Lebanon, and then Lindsa Graham saying, all right, well,
I'll reconsider what I was going to counsel the president
on to do that is most supportive to Israel. Again,
to me, this is not salacious, It's not It makes
sense that someone who wants to support a foreign power
and believes in the right for that foreign power to
defend themselves against everyone in the region would use their
resources to connect with someone and talk to them about
what's actually going on. It's actually, I'll say it this way,
and I think there's an announcement out there that the
data was in Israel, going to places in Israel that
matter and getting sort of concrete information about something that
we talk about a lot. To me, and I'm not
comparing the two directly, but it's similar in the sense
of you want to know what's actually going on, no
matter what you're talking about, no matter who you so,
no matter what issues you find yourself a most passionate about.
You don't want a periphery understanding of it. You want
direct understanding of what everybody's thinking. It doesn't necessarily mean
that you'll go ahead and echo whatever the words are
that someone told you. If on a you know, inspection
on your own you have a nuanced opinion, that's not
exactly what they're saying. And I bet you Lindsey Graham
still said, we care about Lebanon. We're worried about Lebanon,
mister President. Here's what we should do over here, even
though Benjamin Nenyah who told him Iran was more important.
This was I think before any of the fighting actually
started between the US and Iran. But anyway, like all
of this seems to be the type of thing that
more people should be doing in whatever capacity you can.
Of course, we can't all get on the phone with
Benjamin Menyaho and have a chit chat. But people can
do a version of actually understanding something by by looking
at it for themselves or diving deeper into the information
on it. I say this all the time, and actually
we'll probably talk about this later in the show when
it comes to doctor Anthony Fauci and his diaries and
the crazy things that are in it and the things
that are not in it that show how much he
was really obsessed with himself and fame and not really
trying to protect Americans the way that the mainstream media
outlets perceived him to be some white night hero for them.
But anyway, the funniest thing to me is you actually
do want the actual information as best as you can
get it, like Nick Shirley is another really good example
of this.
Speaker 1: Nick Shirley won.
Speaker 2: Very few awards from media companies and organizations that award
prizes to media companies because they're all mad at him.
Speaker 1: They're all mad at how.
Speaker 2: Much better of a job Shirley did at getting actual
information by going to the places that are accused of
being fraudulent and all the people who found up more
in trouble than they might have been before. Nick Shirley
brought his cell phone and a couple friends with him
to record some things in a way that mainstream media
should have been doing it long.
Speaker 1: Before Shirley does it.
Speaker 2: But he's not awarded anything because they don't like him.
They want to push him aside, even though he actually
did the most to uncover the truth. And honestly, that's
all I really ask people sometimes when I have these
debates and people don't seem to understand some basic pieces
of information within certain conversations, like how much actual homework
did you do to find the position that you're on
on a certain topic, Like did you just listen to
other people or did you try to go look for
a little bit yourself? And so to me again, to
get back to the main premise of the conversation, in
the world of being a senator who is supportive of Israel,
having direct communication with Israel and understanding what they want,
does seem to be doing the homework. It doesn't again
mean that Lindsay just echoed those opinions to the president.
We don't have a recording of that discussion. We know
what Lindsay said publicly, and he's not around to defend himself,
which is again why I said, part of this seems unfair,
But nonetheless, like every aspect of it, you just say
to yourself, is this just doing due diligence as opposed
to being controlled by somebody, because that's a very different
form of discussion. But I couldn't get over how people
were reacting online.
Speaker 1: To this discussion. All right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 2: After the break, there's some amazing James tell Erico audio
that's out there, crazy audio from DSA chair the Democrat
Socialists of America that I really like. But of course,
before any of that, will also have some fun right
here on the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins.
Filling in more in a.
Speaker 1: Bit as we move.
Speaker 4: The folks who help bring you the program, it's the
folks over at Patriot Mobile because they think like you.
And if you haven't switched to Patriot Mobile, then you're
basically shooting yourself in both your feet every single time
you use yourself on service and you're just doucing all
over America. I'm just not even going to make it.
You know what it's like. So they practically come to
your house, tuck you in bed, make you breakfast. I mean,
for crann out loud. What else do you want these
people to do. They're giving you affordable service. I don't
even know how they can afford to give us this service.
I'm not asking questions, but they give us great service.
You get premium Prayers nationwide service across all three major
US networks, unlimited data plants, international roaming, one hundred percent
of US based customer support team. And they also have
a contract buyout program, a device buyout program. So there's
no excuses you have none. Every customer calls answered by
real people here in Texas. They live down the street
from me, so if I got a question, I can
go knock on their door. That's not scaring them. It's
not a threat. I'm just saying I know where you live.
But you're gonna pay less with Patriot Mobile than you
will with anybody else. You're getting superior coverage products and
superior customer service. Why not switch to the only Christian
conservative self fund service in the nation. That's Patriotmobile dot
Com slash Danta. The numbers nine to seven two Patriot
Promo code data gets you a free month of service.
That's Patriotmobile dot Com slash data nine seven to two
Patriot Promo code Data.
Speaker 1: And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 2: That's right, it's time for Quick five on the Data
show d Lash, Dana Lash Radio and x A great
ways to stay connected to her. My name is Craig
Collins in at Radio CRAIGZ if you want to follow
me on social media. San Francisco forty nine Ers head
coach Kyle Shanahan suffered some pretty serious but not life
threatening injuries after a car crash that happened close to
his home. I thought this was sort of just like
a surprising story out there that the head coach of
the forty nine ers won't be able to participate in
a decent amount of training camp because he's recovering after
a pretty.
Speaker 1: Bad car crash.
Speaker 2: The driver of the other vehicle was uninjured, which is
good for a lot of reasons, but also just kind
of awful. Drug and alcohol were reportedly not involved in
the accident as far as any of that information goes to,
just a bad car crash for the head coach of
the forty nine ers, certainly putting some level of difficulty
into the beginning stages of that NFL season for that team.
A heat dome is expanding across the Central United States.
It has created dangerous conditions for millions of people. It's
very and a lot of places. I live in Houston,
it's very hot here. Although the nice thing about living
in places like Houston, Texas is it's usually hot, so
the level of heat compared to what it normally is.
I think there was a heat index day last week
there was like one fifteen. Not that different to a
lot of the people here, but several parts of central
United States are struggling more as some of this heat
is pretty uncommon for a lot of those places. I
saw this that New York teachers are upset that a
high school might deploy a humanoid robot teacher, which makes
me laugh.
Speaker 1: For a lot of reasons.
Speaker 2: They all think the teachers, the human ones, that this
is really inappropriate. The school doesn't know. They're curious how
the humanoid teacher will do teaching children, in this case
high schoolers, which I feel like that's even more of
a mistake, but.
Speaker 1: It is what it is.
Speaker 2: The robot reportedly costs like sixty grand, which maybe is
essentially the same cost as paying some teachers.
Speaker 1: So is it going to be better, is it going
to be worse? Who knows?
Speaker 2: How is it going to brainwash your kids? Is probably
the bigger question I would ask, And if we can
all have some input into what the humanoid robot actually
teaches in the classroom. The robot itself is actually excuse me,
worth like sixteen million, but I think renting it is
where the costs are only a certain amount. But anyway,
I do find that somewhat amusing because even though I'm
not a supporter of robots taking our jobs, taking any jobs,
there's some things I'd like some control over, or parents
in general would like control over. And so you think
a robot might actually do better than some teachers in
telling your kids what they need to know and not
injecting other information into the lesson plan.
Speaker 1: And then finally, one last one.
Speaker 2: It is Shark Week this week, and there is a
story about a giant shark that was spotted somewhat off
the coast the United States, pretty far off the coast
of the United States, but a monster twenty foot Big
Rows is the nickname for the shark. This is after
shark's sightings are also up one thousand percent off the
US coast, So not great, but hey, good for Shark Week,
they're going to have more topics and things to talk about.
I don't think shark attacks are on the rise somewhere. Fine,
you'll be fine. Just go ahead, swim in the water
and keep an extra eye out in case you see big.
Speaker 1: Rows flying around anywhere.
Speaker 2: All right, A lot of things to talk about in
a bit when we come back, including James el Rico.
Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,

Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 2: My name is Creig Collins, filling in thrilled to be
with you at d Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X
great ways to stay connected to her and the awesome
content that she People like producer Steven pump out all
the time on social media at Radio Craig z if
this is how I often say, you want to see
what it's like. They have a social media account and
no fancy producer named Steven all Right. CBS News polls
find that Iron's conflict or excuse me, the Iran conflict
is causing confusion among a lot of people in the
United States, a lot of uncertainty. When asked, according to
CBS News and YouGov, how people feel about the fight itself,
fifty eight percent said they're uncertain of what's going on
or what the outcome will be, just a lot of stuff.
Fifty seven percent said they're frustrated. I don't know if
that comes from the thing that frustrates me, which is
that Iran refuses to accept the reality that they're in
and that they hopefully at some point will do that,
and then the negotiations to get them to, you know,
do a lot of the things we want them to do,
we'll go much better. Thirty six percent of people are
pessimistic and only nineteen percent say that they're optimistic about
the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran. If it
has been harder easier than the Trump administration expected, seventy
six percent of people said harder, and of course they do,
because that's that is the right answer. A twenty percent
said it's about as expected, in four percent said it's
been easier than expected. President Trump wanted this to end quickly,
and I think the success when it comes to you know,
Venezuela and Maduro and whatnot, made us think that maybe
the success would be quicker. And I do think if
you're looking at the honest situation as it exists right now,
Iran is decimated. That's not fake, that's not someone making
that up. They just seem to not care. And so honestly,
the reporting about the United States and specifically Trump being
convinced not to expand the bombing campaign, not to do
something larger, or is he described in social media massive
part of it is because I don't know that that's
the exact approach that will actually work. The blockade is
probably more effective at making Iran mad. And I think,
and I've said this on the show and I'll say
it again, that being more strategic about taking certain spots,
whether it's a carg island or a control of the
Strait of Hormuz, which would be difficult to retain, and
you would lose American military lives in doing that, and
that is a horrible price to have to pay to
I think inevitably do something that would benefit the world.
I mean, I played it on Friday. You have several
members of our military reminding Americans about the cost of
US lives that's long been going on from Iran, the
involvement that they've had in other conflicts, the way they
helped in the Afghanistan War, the Iraq war, you name
the thing or even just the way in which Iran
can somehow harm us, and they're doing it. They're funding
terrorism around the world. These are the things that we
should be and to a certain extent are obviously fighting
in this conflict. Whether or not it's about other things too,
is irrelevant to me. Because a win stops Iran from
doing stuff we don't want them doing, like funding terrorism.
When it came to one last question, what's important for
the US to do regarding Iran, eighty six percent of
people said, open the Strait of Hormuz and oil access
to the world. And I think you do that by
taking it and that's not easy, but I think you
do it. Make sure Iran's people are safe and free.
Seventy nine percent of Americans said that that's important, and
it is.
Speaker 1: I believe that it is. And if you've listen into JD.
Speaker 2: Vance and others, they keep saying that if Iran's people
want to stand up and fight this regime themselves, they understand,
they should understand that they have the support of the
United States and our military to a degree or at
least our capabilities to a degree in helping get that done.
But the fight does need to come from them as well,
and it should even if it's difficult to do because
of how horribly they're treated and how often any sort
of semblance of say a revolution is cut down by
mass killings. Finally, seventy six percent of people said permanently
stop Iran's nuclear program, so it came under keeping the
Strait of Hormuz open and making sure the Iranian people
are safe and free. I've talked about this a lot,
so I'll just say it again here. If this were
a democratic leader, and if the thing that you were
actually couching the fight in was defending innocent people who
are being systematically killed by an oppressive government, a evil regime,
a terrorists in Iran, mass media would be celebrating it.
But since it's a republican and since we've talked about
some of the other things that we're also fighting, that
becomes irrelevant. But that goal, which does exist, would be
resoundingly highlighted. And whoever the president was, if it wasn't Trump,
and especially if it was a Democrat, would probably be
propped up as someone trying to usher in peace around
the world. Like a Nobel Peace Prize would be a logistic,
a realistic, excuse me, opportunity for someone fighting against this
regime in this way, if the person were someone that
they liked and not someone that they resoundingly hate. Let's
play some other audio that I think is pretty interesting.
In the world of the Democratic Socialists of America, they
were asked questions on Fox News and gave actual opinions,
like actual concrete yes or no answers, which you often
don't get when you ask someone what you think is
a trap question because to say yes to it is
crazy and to say no to it seems like a lie,
so they avoid it and try to do other things instead.
This representative, this co chair of Meghan Ramer, just told
the truth, which was amazing to hear, because this is
how little the Democratic Socialists of America are actually trying
to hide that they're in fact communists. And you be
the judge of all the things that they want to
abolish and get rid of, and all the reasons that
I guess they want to do it, which aren't even
really given here in the yes no, but aren't really
needed at that point because a lot of these should
be disqualifying opinions that even many Democratic thought leaders are
saying are crazy, but who cares if it helps them
win elections. They'll fight that fight once some of these
people get into positions of power and then try to
quiet them then, which is going to be terrible because
the Democratic Party is moving further and further to the
left because of these very loud, very insane voices.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 5: So we're going to put up on the screen a
few of the things that are part of your platform,
and I want to ask you just give me sort
of a true fall on these. Abolish the Senate, true, okay,
replace the Presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 5: Abolish ice. Absolutely, abolish borders, and give amnesty to anyone
currently in the US illegally.
Speaker 1: As a long term plan. Yepe on the Pentagon.
Speaker 5: Absolutely abolish prisons at least in large part.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, as part of a long term program.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, So no prisons, government or public ownership of
most large corporations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Oh absolutely, We love all this stuff. This
stuff would be great. How stupid are these people? How
insane are these individuals? If any of this actually happened,
especially the government control over the means of production, we
would have something very very bad. That is absolutely communism
in our country. And the fact that these pieces of
you know what are willing to think and believe that
either they themselves would be the person wielding that power,
that if they're people who are rising the chains or
rising you know, the latter in the world of their
political party, that inevitably, they're the one most trustworthy. They're
not going to do anything with all of that money
that benefits them and hurts everyone else. They're going to
be the people that are so utterly different. I've heard
comedians refer to communism this way, and I think they're
doing it to left leaning audiences when they say it
that it's a good idea, wrong species, essentially meaning that
humans are not capable of being as selfless as the
ideas of Marxism would demand that they be to ever
have anything good happen in society if people in fact
got power who believe this crazy stuff. Granted, I think
it's even more than that. I think there's a lot
of other reasons that it's terrible. But that's a good one,
that's a fine one. But this is just insane to
hear this woman say yeah, all of these things, so
matter of factly, and to believe them the way that
she seems to. And actually, you know another example, because
a lot of I think the focus on democratic socialism
starts with Mumdami being elected in New York City as
the mayor there. There's a story about his wife's best
friend who put out a social media post I think
at the tail end of last week that blamed Zio's
or as they often racistly call people in Israel, Zionists.
But the way Zios keep boasting about the extraordinary power
they wield reminds me of how they are boast how
they also boasted and took credit for Germany's defeat in
the First World War. That is a statement word for
word from the social media account of the best friend
of Zorin, Mumdami's wife. And I did like the way
that this was pointed out on a lot of social media.
You don't have people that are this close to you,
this within your orbit, in the world of your ever
day life, if you absolutely disagree with their political positions.
It just isn't a thing, certainly not on the left
in the society we live in.
Speaker 1: And I think that that's true.
Speaker 2: This comment was absolutely challenged on social media on x
specifically with a community note being put up that historically
Jewish people did not take credit for the German defeat
in World War One. This is based on the stab
in the Back myth, a debunked anti Semitic conspiracy that
promoted German military leaders that were trying to deflect blame
from their own battlefield losses onto the people that they
were systematically killing. I added a little bit to the
community note that's there. It's just surreal to see people
in both of these context is not just necessarily in
the world of the Democratic Socialists of America saying all
the different philosophies of communism out loud as if they're
good and the plan for the party, and then also
the ways in which they're unapologetically like racist and.
Speaker 1: All the other that they're accused of being.
Speaker 2: They show that to us constantly, and many many people
are turning a blind eye and ignoring this, certainly within
the Democratic Party but in the world of media too,
because it's benefiting them from the stance that they might
win some elections. I think that I can oversimplify a
portion of this from a political strategy standpoint, because a
lot of it's just hate and horrible I'm not talking
about that stuff. I think when President Trump won in
twenty twenty four, and he didn't just win, but he
won the popular vote, one of the most interesting aspects
of that to the Democratic Party was the amount of
success President Trump had with young voters, specifically young men,
but young voters in general, it was one of a
few groups. Minority groups were another one in which Trump
did much better than Republicans traditionally do. And so now
because a lot of I think Democrats believe that that
happened because of certain podcast interviews and other things, were
Trump and honestly, just his mugshot now popular. It was
with young people that felt that the unfair treatment of
Trump mirrored their unfair experience in life. A lot of
people that liked that mugshot saw some version of themselves
in it, whether it's being incapable of getting the job
you want, the house you want, whatever it might be,
someone fighting you and holding you down a system that's
unfair to you. I believe that's one of the reasons
it was such a popular photo. But nonetheless, now Democrats
are trying to say whatever they.
Speaker 1: Need to.
Speaker 2: Acquire those voters back in mass numbers. Overwhelmingly young people
do already support Democrats, but saying the craziest, most insane
thing you can about how much more fair you're going
to make it for young people in society by rigging
the system and giving all of the power to a
trustworthy government that doesn't exist. That government doesn't exist, and
they actually believe that. They believe the government is horrible
and terrible to all of us, but for some reason
they don't mind that part. But to do all that,
to say all that, just to win an election is
a bold strategy, Cotton. As you've often heard people say,
it's just horrible to watch this play out the way
it does, and to count on the stupidity of supporters
how to go along with it thinking it's going to
be good. When have it You learned that lesson by
now of all the promises that are made, especially on
the democratic side, never turn out being good stuff for you,
whoever you are, all right, quick break a lot more.
Greig Gallin's filling in on the data show.
Speaker 4: As we move our partners that bring you the program.
It is the folks over at Webroot. Webroot wants to
make sure that you're protected online, because it doesn't matter
if you're streaming, your gaming, your shop, and you're reading
whatever it is you're doing, you probably don't have an
antivirus program and an AI driven threat eras you really
do need one of those. But the problem is that
most everybody hates them because most of them are horrible.
They're clunky, and it's like they haven't been updated since
the early oughts, which is a real thing. Webroot, though,
is totally different. It's like somebody decided to apply modernization
to anti viral threat detection. Webroot is cloud based, so
it's engineered to stay out of your way. It takes
up far less space than bulky competitors, and it scans
significantly faster, so you get more powerful protection without the lag.
And because the intelligence lives in the cloud, it keeps
your device feeling light fast, smooth while actively defending against malware, fishing, ransomware,
all other modern threats in real time. So whether you're working,
you're gaming, your browsing, streaming, whatever it is, it's running
quietly in the background, and it's security that works for you,
not against you, So your computer actually feels usable again,
and it's easy to get. It's easy to install, it
uses minimal resources. It's a set and forget type of protection.
So make the switch and modernize right. Feel the difference
of actual, fast, modern antivirus protection, and for a limited
time you can save a whole sixty percent through webroot
dot com slash data promo code data. That's webroot dot
com slash data sixty percent off using promo code data.
Speaker 1: It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 2: That's right, it's time for Florida Man on the Dana Show,
A d Lash, Dana Lash Radio, and x A great
ways to stay connected to her.
Speaker 1: A fight happened outside.
Speaker 2: Of a movie theater in Florida in which a guy
was really upset that a woman was laughing too much
during scenes that he thought weren't funny. Some are saying
this actually happened back when the Fantastic Four movie I
was in theaters, and some reason it is just getting
reported on more now. But here's the craziest part and
the Florida part of the discussion. At some point, the
twenty four year old man acquired a pizza pan. I
don't know how he got it. I don't think he
was a cooking pizza in the back of the theater.
I don't think he's someone who worked there. But he
got one and he hit her with it. So the
dude attacked the woman with a metal pizza pan. That's crime.
Any version of attack is a crime. This one's just weirder,
and he got arrested and he's going to be put
in jail first degree misdemeanor charges for causing some injury
but not injury I guess incredibly significant. Apparently the pan
wasn't the weapon some thought it might have been, which
is good.
Speaker 1: I'm glad the woman's okay. And darn it.
Speaker 2: If you go to a movie theater, if people yell,
if people talk, or if people laugh, you just got
to deal with it. Man, you just got to suck
that up. That's a thing that happens when you're out
in public around other people. A Florida man was accused
of doubling the speed limit and legal alcohol limit at
the same time. I didn't have a lot of gas,
was the explanation the guy gave when he was pulled over.
Apparently he thought, when he was intoxicated at twelve thirty
at night, that speeding to a gas station somehow was
better than driving there more slowly and less recklessly, that
he thought would get him away, or at least get
him off from the possible problem of speeding and then
also being drunk. I think the speed limit was like
fifty and the guy was going one hundred. And then,
as I said, he blew an alcohol content into the
breathalyzer twice the legal limit. So that's going to get
your thrown in the whoscal. He also seemed to be
laughing as he was getting arrested and thought that it
shouldn't be that big of a deal to be doing
all this stuff because he thought Florida rules apply. He
didn't say that, but I assume that's the thing where
he's like, come on, man, it's Florida. Is this really
the worst thing happening right now in this state? And
the answers probably know. And then finally, one last quick
one for anyone living in Florida. I guess cases of
leprosy are on the rise. They're saying they're linked to
armadillos that are somehow transmitting leprosy to people. Seventeen cases
is not a whole lot in twenty twenty six, but
it's more than you want. And so that's another story
that's out there, and I have questions that I really
don't want answers to, most specifically involving how the armadillo
is giving the leprosy to the human. I assume it's okay,
but again I don't want answers. Craig Collins filling in
on the Danish show. This is the Danish show. My
name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you.
A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. I
thought this was kind of interesting. Carnival passengers were upset
on a cruise ship because they saw a guest that
was scratching his foot fungus with a fork in front
of people, which is uniquely gross when you're trapped somewhere
with a human that you don't know that well, that's
a stranger and you got to keep riding the ship
with them. Here's some of the passengers reacting and talking
about what they told the captain about the fork situation.
They have a video if you would like, because we
showed the services and they couldn't believe it.
Speaker 7: So this is how just scratching her foot at this
point you can see.
Speaker 2: And she lives on. I know you can't see it
because it's radio, but it's gross. As you heard me
actually react to the video itself, and yeah, she's just
scratching that foot fungus with the old fork move that
you probably shouldn't make in front of other people, the grossness.
I've never been on a cruise ship, and I think
this is one of the reasons I'll never go on one.
I'm good, I like the water, I like drinking. I
can do both of those things at the beach and
then go home and not be trapped for a long
time traveling with others. And if I want to get
to an island, I can do it on a plane
and be there in a couple hours and then spend
a lot of time there. I'm not a cruise ship person,
and honestly, I don't know why anybody is, unless cruise
ships actually sponsor the show than I love them than
the best thing I've ever heard of, and everybody should
go on one.
Speaker 1: But no, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2: I just think it's kind of funny that in the
world we live in right now, that there's not better
ways for us to spend our time out of.
Speaker 1: Some But if you're a cruise ship lover, that's on you.
Speaker 2: It's fine that enjoy the foot fungused people and the
occasional outbreak of horrible illnesses. Now, another thing that I
saw that I thought was funny is that more and
more people are now professional line standards, meaning they stand
in line for other people. Some video went viral from
years ago interviewing one of the first people who thought
of this. But more and more, we're paying somebody else
to get us stuff by standing in line.
Speaker 7: People think that standing online is very simple, and uh, it.
Speaker 6: Is it is.
Speaker 7: We'll say more line, dude, we're live sinners. Were standing line?
Were you professional linetings? Beginning clone line? I can eric
huts the three thousand dollars, the standing in line crazy?
We were in these long hour a weeks we're on
on moans. Was there a crosswaar puzzle? That's very simple.
Speaker 2: I love how he's trying to raise awareness for how
challenging standing in line is to him because you got
to bring the cell phone and the crossword puzzle.
Speaker 1: You gott to waste time when you're.
Speaker 2: Doing it again and again and again, which I can't
imagine on the level of boredom. But it is, in
fact very easy. This is not a challenging profession. Two
to three grand a week though, that's a pretty decent money,
although I'm not sure what it works out too per hour,
because I don't know how many hours you stand in
line to get to that amount of cash, but yes,
real thing. Obviously not judging, just think it's crazy, quick
break a lot more.
Speaker 1: Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show and now
all of the news you would probably miss. It's time
for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 2: That's right, it's time for quick five on the Dana Show.
A d Lash Dana Lash Radio X a great ways
to stay connected to her and all the awesome stuff
that she and her team do in the world of
social media. Like producer Steven just crushing it. More than
three hundred thousand people were displaced in France and Spain
as wildfires have grown out of control there and exhausted
firefighters continue to fight them.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lot of.
Speaker 2: Conversations right now about all kinds of crazy stuff in
the world of whether it's wildfires or just everything coming
out of Canada into the United States. And of course
some people transition this and pivot this into a conversation
about stuff that it doesn't feel like it's about. But
this is a bad wild ranging raging wildfires there, and honestly,
I'll say it this way, and I know in the
world of firefighters, this isn't a difficult for the world
or country to understand. All of these first responders do
jobs that are incredibly hard that the rest of us
can't fathom doing, running at certain danger that everybody else
wants to run away from, or in this case, people
are actually displaced from where they live while the fight
goes on, Which is why it's so important to praise
people like police officers, and why it's so horrible that
so often our community doesn't or our country does not,
because they pretend as though there's a more nuanced take
there when there isn't. People who run it danger deserve
to be praised. AI companies are buying up old books
and then destroying them. This is in order to scan
them so that computers can digest the information and use
it to train themselves, even if it's just in the
world of speaking more like humans do just communicating and
or the information they're using the data they're storing. Apparently
the AI companies don't care about this. They're quite proud.
You would think that somebody would be up in arms
and mad that the books themselves are being destroyed, but
AI companies are even using like industrial grade equipment to
rip apart the books, so all the pages are individual
and then scan them and then trash them.
Speaker 1: So this is something that is likely to keep going on.
Speaker 2: And I don't know who's protesting where for this, but
it's probably not a good thing. Finally, millennials are also
very cool, very proud of they're cool minivans. More and
more millennials and social media influencers are retrofitting minivans. I'd
have stuff in them, like an automan way to hang
out in the back seat. Probably not safe for commuting,
but that's not important. This is the hang after you
get somewhere thing. I love that there's an actual story
I think CNN reporting on this that says millennials are
trying to make minivans cool again.
Speaker 1: Because I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think that whatever you try there, cool is not
the word i'd use for it, but functional important for
families and if you want to hang out at the
beach and a minivan that you retrofitted to have a
couch in it, all right, quick break, A lot coming up.
