Speaker 1: The Air Force is in this public about where it
deploys its forces. But Jordan is a major hub, along
with a basis here in Israel, also Qatar, Uae and
of course in Saudi Arabia, but Jordan has been a
major hub.
Speaker 2: So once again Aisha.
Speaker 1: Two American service members have been killed, one is still missing,
and four were wounded in an Iranian ballistic missile attack
on a base in Jordan last evening. It is the
first American casualties in munths since those six US Army
personnel were killed in the early days of the war
in the attack on Kuwait.
Speaker 3: It's horrible. This is Craig Collins filling in on the
Dana Show. I will say this, I am someone who
would not have wanted the initial invasion or the initial
attack to happen. In retrospect, I think at the time
when the US went into Iran, after the success of
capturing other people in other places, I think some of
us did believe that it would be a relatively short conflict,
even though traditionally the understanding would be if you were
to fight Iran, it would not be a quick conflict.
That they had a bunch of different things, the control
of the Strait of Hormuz being one of them. That
would make it complicated to succeed and to succeed in
a fast way in a fight with them. But many,
many people, myself included, thought that it was inevitable that
you were going to fight Iran at some point because
they were getting closer to a nuclear weapon and had
no intention of stalling. They absolutely seem to want to
acquire one, and have even used this fight to say
that they.
Speaker 2: Deserve one even more now.
Speaker 3: The thing that I do want to say, though, with
that as the setup, is the other part of this
story that I've long kind of accepted as to me true,
and some people in places in media, especially the places
that hate Trump, refused to admit that it was true,
is that we had decimated their military capability that of Iran.
They weren't really capable of anything. Their navy, which wh
wasn't much to begin with, had been destroyed. When they
can successfully take us lives, any amount of lives in
any place in the vicinity of their country, I think
it changes the way we discuss their capability, and it
makes us need to do the thing that I know
Dana has advocated for a bunch which is just blow
the place off the planet or some version of that.
I'm not trying to say she said exactly that, but like,
really go in and take the thing over, because it
does seem to be the only.
Speaker 2: Way to get the outcome that we want.
Speaker 3: And to anyone that hates that idea, that thinks that
that idea is the worst possible answer to this situation,
it feels very similar to me.
Speaker 2: It's profoundly different.
Speaker 3: It's involving us lives and military men and women who
are losing their lives. So I'm not making this comparison
because I think they're genuinely similar, but it's a similar
way of thinking to me, is that the opposite is worse.
Whether you're someone who politically votes on one side because
you think the opposite side would be worse for the
United States if they were to get in power again.
Even people who claim that they regret, say voting for
President Trump, I can't imagine that many of those people,
if you actually punch that ticket for him in twenty four,
think that Harris would be better right now if she
were actually in the White House. I think they can
all acknowledge that would be worse. In a similar way
of thinking in a profoundly different version of a story
or version of a situation. What's going on right now
in Iran, like right at this moment, leaves us with
one of two outcomes. We do just surrender in a
sense in believing that we can't inevitably get the thing
that we should be able to get from them, which
is that they placate us entirely. They not only give
in to the demands we have, but they given in
a way that we can make sure that they're they're
truly doing this for a long time into the future,
and if they ever don't, whatever carrot we dangled can
immediately be turned off. It cannot be the kind of
thing that Obama did, where you send them a whole
bunch of money at once.
Speaker 2: We cannot do that.
Speaker 3: Whatever we give them, we have to give them in
a very slow, drawn out kind of way so that
they keep coming back for more, and in order to
come back from more, they have to behave as we.
Speaker 2: Want them to. That is one of the two options.
Speaker 3: We do something that truly gets a change that truly
undercuts their ability to say fun terrorism throughout the world,
and also the inability for them to ever acquire a
nuclear weapon, or we just give in and we decide
that we can't get that and we allow this to
end some other way. And that sounds to me to
be much much worse. That sounds to be horrific actually,
when given the two options, and they're the only options left.
But when Iran is successfully killing our military men and women,
this is bad. This is bad all over again, and
this needs an appropriate response. I know the United States
is attacking, I know they're bombing, I know they're doing
all kinds of things. But to me, even if it's
a radicalinion that some claim as radical, is you fully
take the straight of hormones in whatever capacity. That means
one of the biggest things that Iran can do to
impact the world is control the strait of hormones. And
this is of course one of the places in which
they attack ships that are going through it.
Speaker 2: So you fully take it.
Speaker 3: The United States winds up fully in control of it,
and at that point, whether it's through the blockade or
something more extreme, I think you get a much more
ready to negotiate Iran than you have right now, and
you should decimate anything left of their military capabilities, even
if that's uniquely hard to do. In the world of drones.
Drones are relatively cheap. Almost every country can utilize some
version of them in a dangerous way. And I know
that Trump was asked a question about drones recently and
said that will will nullify their ability to use them.
But this story matters, and this story matters mostly because
the right thing to do for the men and women
of our military is to remove the threat entirely now
that it's demonstrated that it is still absolutely a threat
in any capacity. Another story out there that I can't
get over is Zorin Mumdani saying that he wants to
arrest Benjamin Ett Yahoo when he comes into this country.
That would obviously be a violation of the well not
just that, but a violation of a lot of things.
But even some of the stuff that his administration said
would be a violation of the Logan Act. Because he's
trying to negotiate with foreign powers, or people in his
ministration negotiate with foreign powers without the approval of our
country to do that. He's doing all kinds of things
that make Zoron seem to believe that he is in
fact the president of the world or the president of
the United States and not just the mayor of the
biggest city within this country. And honestly, to me, it's
just a demonstration of arrogance. And so very often the
most dangerous combination in a human being is arrogance and stupidity.
Speaker 2: If those two things go.
Speaker 3: Together, a lot of really, really terrible stuff seems to happen.
And at least in the world of Zorn Mumdani and
the things he says about Israel, the things he says
about nt Yahoo. And I'll say this, I'll be more clear.
You are more than capable, whoever you are, out there
to criticize the leadership of any country you want, for
any reason you want. In fact, it's one of the
things I find most valuable about the freedoms within our country.
And there are times when people are saying something to
me where the beginning of it sounds reasonable. It's like,
all right, you're complaining about this about this country.
Speaker 2: That's fine.
Speaker 3: And if I were to couch a response in, well,
that's racism. It seems insane to say that, because the
thing is just the way the leaders are making certain
decisions about certain things. But the deeper you dive into
the rabbit hole of that discussion. The quicker it does
start to sound like something that's motivated by anything other
than just criticizing another country. And the way in which
I'll validate that opinion is that when you bring up
a unique and I think important objection to some of
the things they say are wrong. And here's a very
concrete example, when you talk about Israel. If someone, in
response to whatever your criticism is, says they do have
a right to defend themselves and they are constantly under
attack by pretty much everyone who surrounds them. If the
person you're talking to comes back with some version of no,
they don't deserve the right to defend themselves, well, now
we're having a different discussion. Now we're not just criticizing
politicians and political decision making. Now we're criticizing if a
certain subset of people in society, for a reason that
seems like it's couched in something else, really really don't
deserve to live. And that seems insane for me to
say that, but that is essentially where you get in
some of those arguments. All right, I want to shift
gears to another thing. I thought this was kind of interesting.
It certainly came up during the presidential address last week,
and I thought about playing audio, but it's Monday.
Speaker 2: That happened on Thursday.
Speaker 3: This doesn't seem like it's current for anyone listening to
this show today. But one of the bigger things is
revoking the license of network broadcast stations because they're not
really doing what they're supposed to be doing and serving
public interest and in doing something that isn't a bias
le on one side, and they haven't been doing it
for a long time.
Speaker 2: Do I like censorship itself?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Do I like revoking licenses of television stations, No, But
I do think that when this is something that's been
sort of floated in the world of the Trump administration,
some officials saying they're contemplating it, at least in the
world of ABC, who seems to uniquely kind of be
offensive in just how far to the left some of
its stuff is that it claims isn't actually on the left,
which is funny. But the fact that so many of
these stations also chose not to air a presidential address,
that ABC, NBC, and CBS all said no to Trump
having a discussion about election integrity, he didn't focus as
much on Georgia, as I kind of hoped the discussion
would be. I hope that we had found more in
Georgia that he would be bringing to the table, and
whether or not we will inevitably find more after FBI
raids and whatnot. There, I can't tell you an answer,
but I do know that part of what disappointed me
was that that wasn't there. But when he said stuff
about China stealing information that you could buy anyway, my
favorite part of that is that if China could have
just purchased all this stuff, why did they steal it?
If this is all stuff that's so easily available in
exactly the way in which they took it, why didn't
they just throw some cash down and go ahead and
buy it. And I bet you a whole bunch of
companies in China do buy whatever version of it is.
China still seemed to think the government seemed to think
they needed to steal stuff beyond whatever they had so far.
Speaker 2: That's odd to.
Speaker 3: Me that the explanation for this is it's not a
big deal, but more important and the most important thing
I'd say about this topic, and it's the thing I've
gotten anyone I know on the left to admit is
that they admit and most of us do that all
politicians buy that the left lies, that the right lies,
that everybody says things that are not true to benefit
themselves in the world of politics. And so when our
network stations say that there are some lies they cannot
air and other lies that they're fully willing to air,
they essentially choose a side. If they're willing to broadcast
a democratic presidential address to the nation, even though they
know it's not going to be one hundred percent truthful.
And the reason they say that they can't do that
with Trump is that he lies. They are absolutely showing
you that they're Democratic voters. There's no other way to
take that, because again, in the most simplistic sense, and
the thing that everybody in every newsroom in all of
those stations should have been arguing, is that none of
these politicians fully tell the truth. And so you cannot
choose to air one if you're going to choose not
to air the other. It doesn't matter how many lies
you think are happening or how grandiose the lies are.
All that matters is that is it occurring.
Speaker 2: Yes or no?
Speaker 3: And if you say yes, then you can't choose a side,
and so for that reason alone, I've changed a little
bit in my feeling about at least investigating well. I
don't actually necessarily want licenses to be revoked, but I'd
like to go through a little bit more of the
process and see how terrible the outcome would be for
these TV stations when they're tested to see whether they
deserve free license to air on all the TVs in
the entire country. Right, quick break, A lot more. Creig
Collin's filling in on the data show.
Speaker 4: We have a lot more on the way as we
move our partners that he'll bring you the program. It's
the folks over at Relief Factor. Relief Factor to get
relief from everyday aches and pains. It's a one hundred
percent drug free way to do so. Relief Factor wants
me to tell you about this guy named Chris who's
wrote to them and said people's lives are actually changing.
He said he's spent years doing physical work that left
his feet aching every day, and after starting Relief Factor,
he felt so much better that he accomplished something he'd
never done before. He ran a half marathon. Now he
recommends Relief Factor to friends because he's experienced the difference firsthand.
Every day aches and inflammation and chip away your freedom.
It affects how you move, your work, you live your
life again. It's a one hundred percent drug free, research
based formula design to fight inflammation, the root cause of
most pain. And most millions of people have found relief
from relief Factor, and right now they still have their
patriotic pricing the three week quick start for just seventeen
seventy six. You can visit relief Factor dot com or
call eight hundred and four relief and speak with one
of their US based team and find out if relief
Factor can help get you back to doing what you love.
Speaker 5: And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 3: That's right, It's time for a quick five on the
Dana Show. D Lash, Dana Lash Radio and x great
ways to stay connected to her and all the awesome
stuff that she does and her team and the producer
Stephen does in the world of social media.
Speaker 2: I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 3: This almost feels like a new segment where we say
not a Florida man, but probably should have been a
Florida man on this show. A man from Kansas City,
or in Kansas City, was found to be stuck in
a poor pot. I would explain to you what exactly occurred,
but the audio of a spokesperson for the company that
owns the porter bodies that showed up when the police
had to get involved, did a pretty good job on
social media describing it himself.
Speaker 2: So here it is knocked again.
Speaker 6: The man inside said he was not going to get out.
They looked inside and didn't see anybody. If the lid
was closed, no one was in the restroom. It kind
of startled that all of a sudden, a head popped
out of the toilet and he said, I'm in here.
Then he was retrieving a mountain dew bottle that he
dropped in from the night before. After it was cut open,
the man was able to exit the toilet. The fire
department did hook up water to their truck and gave
him a free shower.
Speaker 2: I love that they hosed him down with a fire
hose on a fire truck. That part I love. The
rest of it is disgusting and I hate it.
Speaker 3: And a lot of people asked on social media, and
I think it's a valuable question what was actually inside
the mountain dew bottle, because if it was just mountain dew,
this person is obviously insane. If it was something else,
there's nothing that would allow me to go headfirst into
a porter potty looking for a thing. But I think
there are some items, some narcotics that people who are
out of their mind might inevitably do this for that,
or he's just a horrible person in other ways. But
one of the most disgusting stories I've ever seen it.
I just really liked the end of the audio. That's
probably the only reason I play.
Speaker 6: And get a free shower.
Speaker 3: He got hoed down hard. I don't think that actually
cleaned anything off. I don't think soap was involved. You
just let the guy on his way, and terrible things
happen again in the world because of people like that.
That is that feels like a Florida man, even though
it was in Kansas City, which I know had a
whole lot of people in it for a lot of
the World Cup. And so who knows who this person
is and what they in fact live day to day
if they're not someone from the United States to beginning with,
I don't know the answers. I just know how horrible.
This seems want other quick story, and I'll probably play
this audio a little bit later on, but I did
like it.
Speaker 2: A man in Washington is held.
Speaker 3: As a hero because he helped stop a runaway suv.
It saved a woman and a child on a busy
highway and the guy just crashed his car into it,
and he bragged about how awesome his car was at
being the exactly perfect choice to be involved in this.
Speaker 2: Some of us drive those types of vehicles.
Speaker 3: I don't anymore, but I did for a long time,
the kind of vehicle that you do not care about
that probably is barely roadworthy as it is, and so
it's kind of cool that someone who was driving one
of these things was like, Hey, I'm seeing this thing
happen in front of me.
Speaker 2: I know I can take action and save it. It's
Batman style.
Speaker 3: If the Batmobile was a beat up vehicle that you
barely cared about and probably don't have good insurance on.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming he might have coverage for her but not him,
and hopefully he doesn't wind up having to use his
insurance on this, because he saved a runaway SUV from
something much more horrible.
Speaker 2: Happening.
Speaker 3: But the guy's name was Paul, and he absolutely crushed it.
And it made me think of all the times that
I wish I had been in a similar situation with
my crappy cars, because that's a pretty good end to
a crappy car. All right, quick break, A lot coming up.

Speaker 3: This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you d Lash Dana
Lash Radio on x Great ways to stay connected to
her and everything going on in the world of this show,
which is awesome. They do a ton in the world
of social media and it's great.
Speaker 2: Let's do this.
Speaker 3: Let's play audio of Tom Holman, who is very good
at his job. He was on Face the Nation with
Margaret Brennan. She asked him a dumb question and he
responded in a valuable way out of the dumb question,
essentially telling her that she was lying on national television
with how she was shaping the argument against him via
the way that she was asking a question to begin with.
Speaker 7: Like.
Speaker 3: Part of the reason that media is so annoying at
whether it's mainstream broadcast or a lot of you know, television,
cable news media, outside of a few exceptions that go
the other way, is that they pretend they're not biased. Like,
if you're going to be biased, at least own it,
at least admit it, and the way they ask their
questions shows it all the time.
Speaker 2: This is one of those examples.
Speaker 7: These individuals who weren't chasing the man who died. They
didn't have markings on that vehicle that would allow for
him to know that they were ice. It just looked
like a car coming after them in the videos.
Speaker 8: No, they have emergency lights. Officers have insignia, so when
they get that car and prost the car, you can
clearly see the law enforcement officers.
Speaker 7: Well in the video that has been public it's not
these people.
Speaker 8: I'm not saying it's a mark car, but they have
emergency lights and sirens. So when they post some more,
they want to activate the emergency lights. A lot of
a lot of police departments say, hey, I'm in New
York City right now. A lot of NYPD officers are
driving unmarked vehicles, and that helps them find people that
don't want to be found, right So, you know. But
bottom line is we're seeing the investigation plays out, but
they'd be live today if they simply complied with a
vehicle stop by federal lawenforce, not just comply. If you
don't think you're being treated right and they had no
reason to stop you, then there's avenues that take them
into cord.
Speaker 3: Yes, you can try to fight the process after the
beginning stages of it. That is true, I think the
more important thing to me, and if you're going back
and watching the viral incomplete videos on some of these
things that have made national news, the thing that's obvious
to me is every time agents are outside of a vehicle,
they're all wearing all of the things you'd expect an
ICE agent to wear in the sense of insignias and
a bulletproof vest and whatnot. So even if the car
that's pulling you over, attempting to pull you over, doesn't
have its own ICE logos on it, and it has
the flashing lights and other things that you would come
to expect of any undercover cop. If anybody's ever gotten
a speeding ticket on the highway from an undercover cop,
which I've gotten more than I want to admit, it's
the exact same thing. A car that you don't know
is a cop pulls up behind you, starts coming real
close to you, and then all of a sudden, the
lights flash and you're like, oh, it's a cop, and
then you get pulled over and you get a ticket.
So I just don't understand and how that part of
the argument is done the way it is. But the
other thing that's important, and in all these cases where
inevitably and tragically, I will absolutely say tragically a shot
was fired. In those situations, people were outside of a vehicle,
and so you did see them in that moment, you
did know who they worked for at that time, and
you chose to still not listen. Does that mean that,
however you choose not to listen, you deserve a bullet. No,
it doesn't, And I don't think Alman is saying that,
and I don't think anyone is truly saying that.
Speaker 2: I think what they're saying is that by.
Speaker 3: Complying, you avoid even the risk of any sort of
harm to you or anyone else. And in the world
of these specific cases that have become mainstream news discussions,
whether it's in Houston, Texas, where I live, or Maine
or anywhere else, in any of those discussions, the thing
that we do that we have to stop doing is
jumping to conclusions too quickly. All of us on all sides.
The people who want to believe that there are no
ice agents that want to shoot and murder people. And
I am a person that falls into that category that
can't really believe that people would gravitate to a profession
that is designed to protect our society and go after
the worst of the worst, who just wants to create
a scenario, manufacture scenario where they're allowed to shoot someone
that they don't think they need to shoot, which is
usually the accusation on the left is that they're doing
this because they want to, not because they have to.
But the investigations have to play themselves out to see
what exactly happened and why people made the decisions they made,
and where they were in connection to a vehicle that
is or isn't being used as a deadly weapon, and
why they would make like those split second decisions. I'll
say it this way, and I know this is a
macro topic that you've probably heard a whole lot about,
and I feel like I've even talked about this topic
before filling in on this show. I was lucky enough
when I was living in Illinois doing a radio show,
and I think this show actually airs in some stations
out there. But I was lucky enough to be invited
by cops to partake in a deadly shooter like an
active shooter training, and they actually even asked me to
play the.
Speaker 2: Active shooter, which was uniquely weird.
Speaker 3: They gave me a gun that had like paintballs in it,
even though it looked like a real gun, and it
functioned the same as any gun that I've ever used,
not exactly the same amount of kickback. I think I
was a better shot with the paintball version, but nonetheless
they asked me to do that, and it was weird.
I'll tell you why. I was in a school, in
actual school, a grade school on a Saturday or Sunday
allowed cops to train there. So you're asked to pretend
that there's a scenario where you're a horrible person who's
doing horrible things and the cops are trying to stop you,
and you're even asked to try your best to not
be defeated by the police officers so that the training
is valuable so that when they do inevitably arrest you
or shoot you whatever they have to do to end
the threat, that it's done in a way that would
be as realistic as possible, and it's odd as a
person that would never ever, obviously do anything like this
to be asked to pretend because I didn't even want
to fire my gun when it was pointed at a cop,
knowing it was a paintball, knowing I wouldn't hurt anybody,
and knowing I.
Speaker 2: Was helping them train.
Speaker 3: I did it because they told me to, and I
comply no matter what the cops tell me to do,
but I didn't want to, which is odd. And the
biggest realization I had in those things that we went
through those exercises was how quick that decision making is
for them, and how difficult it is for cops too.
And they kept telling me about all the laws, some
of them specific to Illinois.
Speaker 2: That made it harder. When you turn a corner, your.
Speaker 3: Gun can't be raised because you don't know who's going
to be on the other end of the corner, even
if you hear shots being fired and you think you're
about to turn the corner where the active shooter is.
Because raising your weapon to someone who's an innocent victim, civilian,
someone fleeing is a crime, you have to keep it
down until you see so you have to put yourself
in the line of danger for even a few seconds.
And in the case of these ice agents, part of
the discussion has been when or if you get out
of your vehicle to try to stop the vehicles that
there are running from you, or in this case, vehicles
who are disrupting you, as some of the stories have
been more that than actually the people they were pursuing.
And in what scenario you should put yourself where you
should put yourself within that world. And I think the
thing that most people, at least the people who yell
and scream the loudest on this just fail to even
pretend is true is how quick these decisions are made.
It doesn't mean that you're allowed to make the wrong decision.
I want to make sure I say that that even
in that moment, if you do something, in analysis of
what happened proves to you that you shouldn't have behaved
the way you did, and proves to the society, the world,
the society that we live in, that you shouldn't behave
the way you did, you can be held accountable, and
you should be, especially if you did something that is
uniquely egregious. But I just think people fail to understand
the reality of what takes place and the amount of
time that that occurs in. And I'll tell you other story,
whether it has a value or not to you anyone
listening to the show.
Speaker 2: After that training that I did with.
Speaker 3: The cops, where we were all kind of running through
these drills that seemed crazy, a young police officer came
up to the group and I just happened to be
standing with them. I probably should have just left, but
he let me stand there, and he asked a question
to the training officers, the people who've probably seen more
than enough real world events that he had just been
through one of and he wanted to understand. And so
what he said was that he was in a situation
as a cop in which they had to try to
arrest somebody, and in order to do that, they had
to go through a door that the guy was on
the other side of.
Speaker 2: And right when the cops were about to remove the door,
you know, bat it down or whatever, a burst through it.
Speaker 3: The guy started using a machete to cut through the
door and he got through it enough. I don't even
really know if I understood the logistics of how this
occurred or how all this went down but the guy
got through it enough to where one more slice of
the machete would have killed one of the cops. And
the officer who was asking this question was at the
front of the line. I don't know if he thought
he was the one who would have been hit by
the machete or if it would have been someone behind him.
But as the arm went back to strike one last
time and take the life of someone on his team,
that is when the officer fired, not before all of
the slices, before all of the moments were the knife
the giant sword asked, weapon is getting closer and closer
to their faces as they're trying to go through a
door and apprehend a suspect. All of the police officers,
including the one that was distraught in his inevitable decision,
refrained from firing. And it was only in the last moment.
And I know this because there was also video. I
didn't watch it, but the officer had it from like
the cameras or whatnot, and he showed it to other
training officers and I asked them after It was exactly
how he described it. It was not exaggerated at all. You
could see the inevitability of the harm that would have
been done if an arm had been allowed to lower
one more time, and it didn't, and it was because
of this officer, and he was still emotionally and intellectually impacted,
as you always hear they are, by that decision, and
he just wanted affirmation from the training officers in the
training exercise that he did the right thing. And as
he described it to me, as civilian on the sidelines
who tried to not get more involved than I should,
it was amazing to hear him think he may have
made the wrong decision. But those are the people who
buy and large protect us. They choose to run toward danger.
They choose to do it in a way that is incredible,
and it's amazing, and it's the kind of thing that
so many of us simply can't do. And then in
those moments where they inevitably have to use force that
many of them don't want to use, they wind up
impacted for the rest of their lives because of it.
And this young man, who to me easily described as
a hero, seemed like it was something that even after
he was told it was okay, he was still going
to struggle to get over it and move past it.
Speaker 2: But all right, we'll take a.
Speaker 3: Break because there's no real way to transition from that
story to other topics. I will come back and we'll
do quite a few different Florida men, because I have
more than enough of those topics to do. And maybe
before that, i'll play a little bit of audio of
Bill Maher. I'm tempted to play Bill Maher audio that
I thought was crazy, although we should probably save it
till a more appropriate time. I will say this about it,
and I think I played some of it already. It's
amazing how common sense someone as crazy and lefty as
Bill Maher can be when it comes to whether or
not you're going to vote for jd Vance or somebody
else in twenty twenty eight, because the left is getting
crazier and crazier all the time. Although I'd make the
argument there is crazy now as they'll be in a
couple of years, he doesn't really make that argument. But
it's amazing to watch ABC and John Carl struggle to
hear him say something that's not even I will vote
for a Republican.
Speaker 2: I'll contemplate voting for a Republican.
Speaker 3: They struggled with that, and that kind of proves to
you everything you need to know about the problem in
the world of a mainstream and a lot of broadcast
media and news media. But all right, well take a break.
We'll come back and have fun with some Florida men
after this. Craig Collins filling in on the data.

Speaker 2: It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 3: That's right, It's time for Florida Man on the Dana
Show d Lash Dana Lash Radio. Great ways to stay
connected to her on all forms of social media. Right
before I do any of the Florida Man stories, shout
out to Sergio Sanchez, the one, the only, the Great,
Sergio Sanchez. At seven to ten I k u r V,
the Valley's news talk station, also a Dana affiliate. He
was texting me a reaction to some of the stories
I was talking about earlier, and I really appreciate the feedback.
If you want to know what the stories are, you
got to listen to the podcast. It's out there and
I'm sure they have it up on the website for
his station. All right, real quick, Florida Man. Quite a
few of them. My favorite one is probably this one.
A thirty year old man in Florida, was pulled over
on Wednesday, likely because he was driving well intoxicated and
he was swerving and doing all the things you do.
He tried to pull a fast one on the cops
as he was getting pulled over, and not at the
end of the story, but during it, he tried to
switch seats with a passenger. I guess the way they
did it. They failed to.
Speaker 2: Put the car in park.
Speaker 3: He actually put it into neutral, so once it stopped
creeping forward, it started rolling backward directly into the cop car,
so the cop backed. The vehicle backed into the cop car,
luckily slowly enough that nobody was hurt. And then I
think one of the dudes, his name was Fernando Alexander Junior,
got out of the passenger side that he had just
switched into in the vehicle in clear view of the
cop like it's picked up on the dash cam what
was going on, and he tried to.
Speaker 2: Just walk away.
Speaker 3: That was my other favorite part is that once you're
caught in all the things you're doing, he tried to
like get out to the passenger side door and just
leave like that was gonna work out. Well, are you
in fact face a whole bunch of felony charges when
you do that sort of thing, leaving the scene of
a crash, one of several of them.
Speaker 2: So don't do this is.
Speaker 3: The PSA of the day, to say the very least.
But I love the fact that they forgot to put
the car and park. Well, they were shifting who was
driving and who wasn't. And by the way, I'll just
put this out there, never be the friend that says
yes to this. You don't want any version of accountability
for the decisions, the horrible decisions that your friend has made.
You were dumb enough to get into a vehicle with
someone who you shouldn't be in a vehicle with, But
don't say yes when they're like, oh, just switch seats
with me, bro. That is a terrible, horrible decision in
and of itself. Another story I saw a former Florida
a juvenile corrections officer is now facing over one hundred
felony charges. The big part of this story that went viral,
outside of the fact that a hundred felony charges happens
to be a lot unless it's Trump and you're going
after him and or city, then I guess they're going
to try to inflate it to however many bogus charges
as they can. But in the case, I don't know
what the truth is. I don't know if this person
will wind up being found guilty of any of this.
The thing that was surprising to people is that they
were able to find a million dollar bail, that somehow
they put it up, some organization probably did it for them,
and they're out on bail after one hundred felony charges.
That seems like the kind of thing where maybe bail
shouldn't be an option, but this is Florida and you'd
hope for better things there, and the person is out
on a bond.
Speaker 2: I will see what happens in that case.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just know that it seems ridiculous.
Not many people face one hundred felonies again, unless it's
the left trying to throw someone in jail who's inevitably
going to be the president of the country again because
they hate him and they're terrified of him, and then
he won the popular vote. I know that that's not
the conversation here, But anytime I hear any lefty yell
that like Trump's a felon, it's amazing to me that
not only did they not really pay attention to the
ridiculous way that a lawsuit that should have been and
tried his misdemeanors, tried to inflate itself to felonies and
then found him guilty of them when he was far
from the person that any organization would probably actually blame
for the things that Trump organization was accused of.
Speaker 2: But I digress.
Speaker 3: My favorite part about that entire thing and everything about
it is that it was used just to make a
simple statement, just to try to say that Trump is
in fact a felon, and there are not many people
that wind up facing that many charges and that many
ridiculous things.
Speaker 2: All right. Other Florida stories back to those.
Speaker 3: A lock operator is dispute is in a dispute over
who went first through a lock on the waterways in
Florida that caused an assault and a boat crash. I
thought this was kind of a funny story, and maybe
I shouldn't think it's as humorous as I do, because
I've been on the water with an uncle of mine
in all parts of Florida, a really really awesome my
uncle Vinnie, who loves to fish, and I will tell
you that the first thing I've thought of is how
quickly road rage on the water can be Because of
my uncle.
Speaker 2: He does none of this.
Speaker 3: He's you know, kind enough to let other people pass
if he thinks they're being aggressive.
Speaker 2: He's a marine, he can wait. He didn't care, and
you don't want to mess with him.
Speaker 3: Actually, he's the kind of marine that if you did
do something wrong, you'd regret it fast, I think, like
any marine actually, But nonetheless.
Speaker 2: I've thought about that before.
Speaker 3: Of if you got crazy people on the waterways, what
are they going to do? These people did the crazy stuff.
They fought each other, They crashed boats into each other,
They did all kinds of things because both people wanted
through at the same time, and neither one relented when
they both tried to do that. One last story that
I saw and I just quick I guess interaction to
it a deal in firefighter. The deal In firefighters had
to rescue an unconscious man that was up in a tree.
The guy didn't have an answer as to the reason
why he was up in the tree and unconscious. I
feel like that's the kind of bender of a weekend
that you're gonna want more details about. So good luck
to him. On that quick break a lot more. Craig
Allin's filling in on the Dana Show. This is the
Day Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. The
World Cup is over. The President of the United States
gave out the trophy trophy to Spain yesterday. There was
some sort of conversation about people booing him. Although I
do like the argument, I don't know if it's true.
I get that it might not be. The cheers and
booze if mixed together, the booze outweigh the cheers. You
can't tell if there's people cheering, but enough people are booing.
It just sounds like everybody's booing. I don't know if
that's true, But to me, that wasn't really the takeaway.
The takeaway from the World Cup was how good the
United States looked on a world stage, especially from people
visiting from other places who bragged about the lifestyle, the
culture that we have here, things like a free refill
being something that they enjoyed a whole lot. Was the
finals of the World Cup heavily viewed in the United States.
I think the answer to that is probably no. I
don't think the TV audience was massive here. I do
think it was massive around the globe. I think they
said something like two billion people tuned into coverage the
World Cup in some way somewhere, so it certainly was
a big deal. And I think the President did a
good job throughout the totality of that last match by
being there and then giving out the trophy and trying
to shake some hands at the end, even if people
were mad about it. I think the US wound up
benefiting from hosting a World Cup on an international stage,
partly by the reputation our country now has in other places.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Granted, as I say that, I also know there's another
story in the news that wouldn't be helping our reputation
all that much, and that's the story about explosive diarrhea,
which I think was tied to Taco Bell for a
bit because they thought that some farm out of Mexico
was actually responsible for the lettus that wound up being
the problem. The FDA then actually backtracked on that, saying
Taylor Fresh Foods might not be the culprit because they
retested the lettuce and they said that they didn't find
the same problem they found the first time, so they're not.
Speaker 2: Really sure what's causing this.
Speaker 3: Many people joked when Taco Bell was involved that this
is something it might happen anyway, But I would say
the word explosive intimidates me even more than typical. But
this is certainly a story that I think we would
have wanted to avoid for a couple more weeks. Although
maybe it's just a lot of tourists or here. We
all know that whenever you go somewhere else it's not
the United States, if you make certain decisions, especially say
the water in Mexico, you can also have some bathroom
struggles occasionally. So I don't know what the catalyst and
the cause was, and the FDA has gone back and
forth as.
Speaker 2: To whether or not they know.
Speaker 3: But I kind of thought that that was funny toward
the tail end of the World Cup thing and all
the people celebrating how great America looked and then have
a toilet story as uniquely bad as that one one
last thing that I saw and I like, But I
don't believe. I'm going to tell you that I think
this is interesting, potentially true, but I don't actually believe
that they've definitively proven this. A study says they discovered
that speeding. Driving too fast does not actually benefit you, essentially,
meaning you don't get it anywhere you're trying to go
that much faster than if you don't speed. I think
they said it's something like less than sixty seconds. Now, granted,
the study was more about speeding from one place to
another place within say the place in which you live.
It wasn't like if you go on a three hour
trip and you go ten miles faster than everybody else,
that you're not going to cut some time out on
those highway specific trips. I think it would be much
harder for them to prove this to be true. But
the point of this was to convince you and me
not to speed if you're late for work and trying
to drive across town, especially if you live in certain
places where traffic is horrible, so it's not like you're
going to get there anyway.
Speaker 2: That's essentially the thing, and.
Speaker 3: I think that I could believe this is true mostly
true anyway, although occasionally not true, based on your luck
with lights or your ability to know certain paths. I
think that all of that comes into play and is
not represented here. But anyway, speeding might not help you.
PSA of the.
Speaker 2: Day, Craig Gallin's filling in on the Data Show.
Speaker 5: And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 3: That's right, it's time for a quick five on the
Dana Show. A d Lash Dana Lash Radio on x
A great ways to stay connected to her and all
the stuff that she's doing.
Speaker 2: Let's do these topics right here.
Speaker 3: First, a mom sent her pre teen to talk to
AI about difficult personal topics.
Speaker 2: The mom thought she couldn't do a good job of answering.
Speaker 3: The catch of this story, and I saw it in
the New York Post, is that the mom is like
an IT person. She's a technology worker who might have
some familiarity with AI.
Speaker 2: The negative of this is how it's dane.
Speaker 3: It is how obvious to so many of us, anybody
that's had kids, or even help someone else with their
children and your family, I should probably know that this
is a terrible way to go about it. To look
at the kid and be like, I know these topics
are difficult to talk about. I know you might be embarrassed.
So instead of talking to me, your parent, why don't
you just talk to a computer that might also have
horrible answers out of some of these questions, especially if
you're not monitoring the converse, which then why would you
also send a kid to talk to a computer or not?
You look, I was raised by a single mom, and
of course, as you can tell, I'm a dude. I
don't identify as anything other than a dude. And there
were certain conversations that a young man does not want
to have with his mom.
Speaker 2: And so luckily we found other people that I could.
Speaker 3: Talk to in those situations that could understand them better
and didn't have to be the dynamic that would not
be fun here. But for a mom to not be
able to talk to her own daughter about some things
is uniquely horrible. That or at least pretending that the
conversation is better with a computer and not her. Another
story out there I saw that I thought was interesting.
A gen Z influencer person. Is she attractive?
Speaker 2: For those who might ask the question, The answer is yes.
Speaker 3: A twenty year old I went on a unique place
on Reddit, a girl Dinner Diaries, where she told other
people that I think she assumed were mostly women, that
she doesn't want to work, she doesn't like her job,
she doesn't like the school, that she's going to learn
how to be a dentist. She'd rather just marry rich
and be a stay at home mom. And she got
torched for saying that, as rightfully, if you should, I'll say,
to be honest, my first reaction to it is, of course,
you shouldn't throw out there to the world that the
only criteria you have to marry somebody is how much
money they're worth. And if they're worth enough money, you'll
go ahead and marry them, and if they're not, you wouldn't.
But here's the other thing that I was thinking as
I saw this story and the insane amount of backlash,
and I think the woman even deleted her social media
or part of.
Speaker 2: It because of this. It happens. It happens a whole lot.
Speaker 3: Certain people with certain amount of ability in this world
financially decide to marry people much younger than them based
solely on looks. I think there's going to be an
ironclad prenup involved in that situation.
Speaker 2: But nonetheless, is she potentially likely to get the things
she wants? Yeah?
Speaker 3: And as being a stay at home mom in and
of itself bad, absolutely not. Society craps all over the
trad wife, traditional wife, and that part's insane.
Speaker 2: This was a bad way to go about it.
Speaker 3: If you actually want to go about it this way
where you're a very attractive young person that winds up
marrying a guy who's got a lot of money that
might be older than you, you at least pretend to
actually like them for themselves.
Speaker 2: You at least do that part for them.
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to help you convince people to do
things a different way, but I do think that's at
least the road you're supposed to go, so all involved
can be just a slight bit happier
