Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you, d Dana lash
Radio on x great ways to stay connected to her.
A lot of things out there to talk about, and
probably one of the more interesting, maybe not actually deserving
of kicking off the show, but don it. I can't
help it is Van Jones, of all people, now saying
that he also doesn't understand how crazy left the Democratic
Party is going. I think the reason that I thought
this was so surprising when I saw it is Van
Jones is the guy that I will always remember as
openly weeping when President Trump won an election, not exactly
the guy that you anticipated to be one of the voices,
at least on one topic. On a vast majority of topics,
he is certainly not described as this, but on one topic,
the voice of reason telling the other Democrats that they're
going way, way, way too far. So, even though I
don't think that this is actually the biggest headline out there,
I couldn't help but off the show with this.
Speaker 2: This phone has been blowing up all day. Governors from
both parties, senators from both parties, Democrats in the House
calling thanking me for saying what everybody's been saying behind
the scenes, which is that this stuff is going too far.
I am a progressive Democrat. Want to talk about prison reform,
I've done it as well as anybody Republican Democrats in
the South with Trump, I've done prison reform. I never
said have no prisons.
Speaker 1: Where are you going to.
Speaker 2: Put the klan? I've done police reform. I never said
no police. Where you're gonna put the pedophiles. We're going
to grab the pedophiles. This stuff is going too far
in parts?
Speaker 1: Are they actually surprised? Like I could let him keep going.
He goes on for another forty seconds. But this is
the part that's so amusing to me. Again, a guy
who's most famous for just crying on television when his
side didn't win, and when the evil bad boogeyman that
everyone tells us on that side, President Trump.
Speaker 3: Is I won an election.
Speaker 1: It's not at all surprise to me. I doubt it's
surprising to you or many of the people that listen
to this amazing show every single day that this is
where the Democratic Party has been taken by all the
people that were listening to these insane individuals. The van
Jones is of the world when they were saying insane
stuff and just took it even further.
Speaker 3: That's the road that you go.
Speaker 1: That's the stuff that the Bernie Sanders cult eventually gets.
And actually another thing that I really love because it
seems to be a great example of how they finally
acknowledge the problem and do nothing to fix it. They
do nothing to actually go the road of a solution
to understanding the reality that hopefully of the Democratic Party
faces via elections that they get resoundingly rejected. And although
most people, even people on the right, seem to think
they'll do well in the midterms because the focus will
be on the president and trying to usher in the
other side to combat him, and the enthusiasm just simply
won't exist to the same degree with Republicans who are
happy who's in the White House.
Speaker 3: Hopefully that's wrong.
Speaker 1: I hope that that's wrong, and I hope the rhetoric
and the craziness of the party that is trying to
retake at least the House actually ignites a lot of
that passion for people to go out and vote, because
you are fighting in a lot of cases a literal
communists who call themselves democratic socialists and whatnot, but are
every single thing that we should most fear. What I
think is a really good example of this discussion. And
some aren't going to think this, and I guess I
don't care. President Trump last week said that China stole
information in the twenty twenty election, and he said that
it obviously was not as secure as the left claimed
it was. The reason I find that topic so interesting
is not because I want to barrel into relitigating twenty
twenty with you on the radio, filling in for data
in twenty twenty six It's not the goal, but to
think about the standard that was set by media when
they decided that Russia helped truy when in twenty sixteen
Russia Rushia, Russia, you know, the whole thing, and how
many of them bought in to the ridiculousness of those
claims and now resoundingly reject what to me seems to
be at least more concrete proof that some kind of
attempted medaling did occur than they had last time. Their
standard before if Trump won and their candidate lost, was
any claim at all is worth making, and that Trump
was an illegitimate president, but all these years of fighting
about the twenty twenty election has gotten to the point,
or maybe it was always that way because of the
wrong side saying the thing out loud that they don't
like that it couldn't have possibly been accurate that China
would have wanted to gained information that they could have
used somehow interfered in the election again. And so Tom Elliott,
the Great Tom Elliott of Grabian put this super cutout,
and I think it's just fantastic reminding us of what
everybody on that side of media, the vast majority of
television means, was saying just after the twenty twenty election,
they got their talking point and they rammed at home, baby.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty election the most secure in American history.
Speaker 3: Most secure election in American history.
Speaker 2: The most secure in American history, most secure election in
American history.
Speaker 4: West secure election in American history.
Speaker 2: The most secure in American history, most secure election in
American history, the safest, the most secure election we've ever seen,
Lena's election, the safest election, the most secure election ever run.
Speaker 5: Most secure election in American history.
Speaker 3: The most secure election in American history.
Speaker 1: Well, if I could, I'd have a baby with this
election is basically what they seem to be saying. I'm
twenty eight seconds in to admit it. In forty five
seconds of this here.
Speaker 3: Secure in history?
Speaker 6: What's the most secure election ever?
Speaker 2: The most secure election in American history.
Speaker 5: Let's just be clear, this is the most secure election
in American history.
Speaker 2: The most secure in US history, is in fact, was
the most secure election.
Speaker 7: Yeah, this was the most secure election in history, the.
Speaker 8: Most secure or the most secure election in American history.
Speaker 1: I often stop it there at Sonny. I don't know
if I should keep going because there's just so much
more of it.
Speaker 3: But it's crazy.
Speaker 1: And again, the standard that they set on one side
versus the other side is so ridiculous. And I saw
a lot of the ripping apart last week after Trump
gave his speech on just one of the television stations
out there on Thursday, of everything and anything that he said.
And my favorite, and I feel like I pointed this
out yesterday filling into the show, was that they did
prop up the one document that seemed to demonstrate that
Russia did intend to interfere in our elections as well.
Whether it's twenty twenty, twenty sixteen, they don't care. They
saw Russia. They thought Russia might be helping Trump. So
like that documents valid. All the other ones are terrible,
but that we got to pay attention to this one.
It's just so unapologetic and how they do it that
it's beyond annoying.
Speaker 3: All right, moving on to other things.
Speaker 1: President Trump was asked a question about the continued fighting
with Iran. What is likely to happened from here? Of course,
after US military members were killed, two of which have
been identified. I think one still actually hasn't. But nonetheless,
I think a lot of Americans, hopefully a lot of Americans,
respond to that by saying that this threat needs to
be removed now for good. Whatever that means. I don't
know if to you it means to get out. I
don't think that's actually success at this point. And I've
said it before on the show, but we can't allow
American lives to keep being in jeopardy. We have to
have a proportionate response to the loss of life for
our military. The President seems to understand this based on
his answer to the question.
Speaker 6: Yeah, mister, but.
Speaker 5: There are no signs that Iran is ready to stop fighting.
Speaker 3: So what is the plan.
Speaker 2: Is the plan to just keep bombing until they give up.
Speaker 6: What you know something that I don't know. You don't
know what the dialogue is behind the scenes, that they
want to meet desperately to try and end it because
they're getting decimated. You don't get that when you listen
to your fake station. But you don't know, you don't
know anything.
Speaker 3: So here's what I do like about this.
Speaker 1: First portion of the answer that Trump is giving of
this question is how often the media does pretend that
they're like inside these rooms negotiating, because very often the
way that they say things, with the arrogant way in
which they deliver their own opinion and pretend that it's
not a part of their question, but the way that
they say it is like there are no signs of
this or everything happening over here is obvious to all
of us except for you. And so often the easiest
response is he's the president, even not just Trump, just
whoever is in the White House is in fact the
person that probably is privy to the most information, including
stuff that he's not telling you. And the other part
of the answer, which I probably don't even need to play,
is why would he tell you?
Speaker 3: This part?
Speaker 1: If you ask someone a world leader for the military
plan moving forward to combat someone who just successfully and
tragically took the lives of US military men and women.
If you ask him what the plan is and he
gives you an answer, he's a moron.
Speaker 3: He's an idiot.
Speaker 1: That is not the kind of way that anyone anywhere
would handle the threat. That would be a country wanting
to continue to harm us in a country that we
are actively fighting. So it makes no sense to me
that media is arrogant enough to believe they deserve an
answer to a question shaped like this. If you did
a more macro version of do you intend to keep fighting?
Do you intend to ramp up the amount of attacking
that we've been doing, the answer is obviously yes, because
it's happening. That's something you can see with your own eyes.
You can witness, and you can hopefully, if you're at
all intelligent, understand the why in that occurring, because we
do need to fully and completely decimate any capability that
they have remaining, whether that capability is theirs or someone
a proxy group that is helping them. Because the specificity
of the attack in Jordan, the fact that it was
a you know, twelve by twelve grid, a one meter
grid or essentially like a three and a half foot
squared area is the kind of thing that Iron doesn't
seem to be capable of doing on its own. So,
whether that is equipment that's being ushered in from places
like China, whether that is attacks and a drone was
used in that attack that are being launched from places
that are on fact Iron, and I think some information
is looking in to exactly what the possibilities of that are.
But nonetheless, this deserves, it begs to have the appropriate
answer and then the appropriate version of a action taken
to make sure that we don't have this happen again.
Speaker 3: We are where we are.
Speaker 1: It's actually this is the best way for me to
articulate it before I do take a break, because I
do this on a lot of topics with people that
I disagree with. You eventually have a conversation where you
notice the other person is trying to say something to
you that is devoid of the aspects of, you know,
the situation you're in or the topic you're discussing. Essentially,
they throw all the context away and act as though
they're still debating a topic and they're not. The minute
that you remove all the context, all the surrounding pieces
to a situation, you start talking philosophically in ways that
I don't think really benefit anybody to do. It's not
as valuable of a discussion if I refuse to accept
the variables that are at play. And so when I
accept all of them, when I say out loud that
we're already in a fight with Iran, that they're already
doing what they're doing to strike back toward us, I
think in that world, the conversation becomes different.
Speaker 3: Because I don't have a DeLorean.
Speaker 1: I can't jump in it and go back in time
and change the things that we've done to the place
that we're in. And I do think a vast amount
of Americans would agree that you can't possibly just leave.
If leaving props up Iran even more, just stopping just
giving in to all of the things they've said they'd want,
all the concessions that they are asking for from us,
you simply cannot do that. And so, regardless of who
you blame and what fingers you point, I think it
is valuable to have a discussion within the aspects of
that you know scenario we're in today in order to
find the appropriate solution, and so very often disingenuous argument
happens when people refuse to do that. All right, well,
take a break, a lot coming up, thrilled to be
here with you. Craig Collins filling in on the data show.
Speaker 8: As we move. The folks who helped make the program possible.
It is the people over at burna gunn B where
I are in a Now, I always carry. I tell
people this every time, but I'm gonna still say it.
You can probably recite it. I have no problem carrying.
I have no problem using the entful force to protect
myself or some mone I love you guys know this,
but sometimes you know, you have to go to places
where maybe it's for work, where you can't carry because
of municipal restrictions or private property restrictions. So what do
you do? You need to have an option. This is
why it's important to have a little bit of a
diversified weapons cachet, so to speak. And this is where
berna gun comes. Now you're familiar with Berna. It shoots
chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to
sixty feet away. And the particular model that is best
recommended for this is the cl that's the compact launcher.
It's about the size of an iPhone. Just another tool
in your kit for when you cannot carry. And here's
the thing. It doesn't care about gun free zones because
it's not a gun, and there's no background check, there's
no waiting period. You literally buy it online. They send
it right to your door, right to your front porch.
That's where it goes. So it's not a replacement. It's
an option to have when your options are limited. You
can visit burna dot com slash data and learn more.
That's b y r NA dot com slash data.
Speaker 3: And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's time for a quick five on the
Dana Show. D Lash Dana Lash Radio and X a
great way to stay connected to her at Radio Craig
z if for some reason you want to file the
fill in guy and producer Steven just sniped me coming
into this break.
Speaker 3: I am smiling about it.
Speaker 1: I'm a Yankee fan and he just mentioned that the
Red Sox have won fourteen straight games. I'm not happy
about that to the our producer, but I guess it's noteworthy.
Speaker 3: I can throw it in here.
Speaker 1: I don't even think that was why you said it,
but man, oh man, how ridiculous the world of baseball
is this year, and how everybody and everybody thinks they
have a shot. It's gonna make the trade deadline somewhat uneventful, sadly,
as most teams probably hang on and almost nobody deals anything.
Speaker 3: I hope the Yankees get stuff.
Speaker 1: Because we've not been as good as I want you
to be. Anyway, Not a sports show, I'm moving on
to something else. And this is actually also something that
producer Steven found that's great. A fourteen year old teen
was hailed as a hero for helping a woman with
dementia that was wandering outside in triple degree a triple
digit heat. What's amazing to me about this is so
few kids that seem comfortable interacting in public with other people.
Like I'm not just talking about like a kid talking
to a stranger who's an adult. I'm not trying to
advocate necessarily for that, but even just like watching people
try to interact with each other at a certain age,
they seem to struggle.
Speaker 3: This guy, this young man, immune to this problem. Here
we go, I don't think there's any apartments around here.
Speaker 9: I can tell you that.
Speaker 7: There are moments in life that reveal who we are.
A fourteen year old Royal Cathrone. It happened on a
bike ride in Gilbert back in June.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did look it up on my phone if
you want me too.
Speaker 7: With temperature soaring above one hundred degrees, he came across
a woman who was lost, confused and struggling in the heat,
and without hesitation.
Speaker 3: He stopped amazing.
Speaker 8: I don't even know. She just looked like somealing was wrong,
so I started talking to her.
Speaker 7: That woman was Teresa Morgan, a beloved mother recently diagnosed
with dementia. After becoming disoriented, she unknowingly wandered miles from
home after visiting a nearby grocery store, and Royal became
the lifeline she didn't know she needed.
Speaker 3: Look. I crap on you know, gen z Or.
Speaker 1: I crap on generations all the time for the terrible
things that they see trending on social media and the
stuff that they do. And this is so far removed
from that type of discussion of that type of topic.
This young man did so well in this situation that
it's incredible and it deserves to be widely praised, which
it is. I think it's got over a million views
on social media and as you can tell, the news
and others are talking to him about it. Just so
awesome that this young man wasn't afraid in this moment
of someone that was behaving strange and was a stranger
and thought that maybe he could help her, and he did. Again,
I guess it's just as simplistic as saying that there's
a vast amount of younger people. I'm not trying to
crap on you, but there are who can't even like
jump on the phone and have a conversation. They'd rather
text because they don't want that immediate interaction. And this
kid is like, ah, I'm going to help this woman
find where she's supposed to be and get her back
to her family.
Speaker 3: It's just so so good, so job.
Speaker 1: Well well done to him, and awesome, awesome story out there.
Actually so much better of a story than the Red
Sox winning fourteen straight games. That's a terrible thing where
the devil seems to be involved. Quick break a lot more.

Speaker 1: This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there talk about they identified the suspect in
the New York City anti ice attack that happened in
Manhattan yesterday at an ice facility.
Speaker 3: Some of the audio from the press conference yesterday.
Speaker 9: Hey, just before nine am, I'm man by the name
of Andrew arabaka a R R. A. Baca arrived at
twenty six Federal Plaza just behind us on Worth Street
at the employee entrance to the building where he ignited gasoline.
He poured gasoline onto the ground it ignited it with
a lighter and an insidiary device. That device was a firework,
a large firework and a canister that proceeded to catch
on fire. Pretty big flame as you've seen on the internet.
He then pulled out an airsoft rifle and fired five
to seven pellets. If you will in the direction of
twenty six Federal Plaza at that time, Federal Protective Services,
two officers, a gray suit, a contractor with Allied that
is employed to guard this building.
Speaker 3: Those three people and the two officers.
Speaker 9: Standing behind me in the charts are the officers that
intervened and took mister Arabuck into the custody. Well, he
had him on the ground, an FBI agent jumped in
and they put handcuffs on him.
Speaker 3: And took him in the building.
Speaker 9: He is currently in custody and he has been inter
Thank you, Para Bacchus.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing that I think is most interesting about
the report from yesterday about the airsoft gun is the
desire that some people have to be killed in these moments.
That this does seem in some ways by a person
who's radical, by a person that said all kinds of
crazy anti ice things. Unfortunately an Army veteran. I say
unfortunately because a lot of vets deal with a lot
of mental health issues that our society doesn't understand or
doesn't probably acknowledge and talk about enough. And occasionally I
believe that part of that feeling. I'm not trying to
excuse his behavior. But occasionally, I believe, after talking to
a lot of vets and some other things that I've
done in media, that that feeling of alone, that feeling
of no one else understanding you, can spiral in all
kinds of ways and occasionally can get us something as
awful as this as a side effect of not potentially
finding an avenue to get help. And there are a
lot of veteran organizations that provide help to vets who
seem to be going it alone. Even talked to veterans
this on the show before who tell me that part
of their training is to figure out how to handle
pretty much anything alone solo. That there's a lot of
training within the world of being the heroes that are
military men and women that inevitably harm you in your
civilian life in the inability that it causes people to
maybe find the help that they need. Nonetheless, this person
radical arrested using an airsoft gun after what I would
call a bomb, but he refers to as simply a
firework and gasoline that blew up in Manhattan yesterday outside
of an ice facility. There's a deeper conversation to be
had about those who behave this way simply to take
their own life simply because they do not want to
be on this earth anymore.
Speaker 3: And the difference.
Speaker 1: Between those individuals and the individuals that intend to do
far greater harm to a much larger amount of people
that don't necessarily want to lose their life in the process,
although a lot of them accept that outcome. This individual
who did this did say he didn't care who got
hurt or who died during the attack itself. So again
there's a lot of reasons to say that this is
identical to any other sort of domestic terrorism type of event.
Speaker 3: However, a part of the intent.
Speaker 1: Of it, which deserves to be stated out loud, seemed
to be much more focused on himself being someone who
didn't survive this. Other things out there that I think
deserve to be talked about. Zoron Mumdani, the crazy human
being who is the mayor of New York.
Speaker 3: It continues to double down in some of the.
Speaker 1: Crazy stuff that he said, really really wants to arrest
Benjamin net Yahoo, and even more than that, I think
wants to get in some sort of legal trouble himself.
He was asked a question after an interview he did
that we played yesterday. He was asked a question, though
I think it was last evening or in the middle
of the day yesterday, in which he once again doubled
down on his desire to arrest the Prime Minister of
Israel when he comes to New York, not to meet
with Mumdani, not to be anywhere near Mumdanni, but just
simply to be in the same city that Mumdanni is
currently the mayor of. Here's a little bit of that
press conference.
Speaker 5: I was reading your interview over the weekend and wanted
to ask you more about your conversations with your legal
departments about potentially arresting Israeli Prime Minister of Benjamin Netanyahu.
I just want to know just what your feelings are
when you look at, for example, your administration also reaching
out to the Prime Minister of excuse me, the ambassador
of Iran. Just how you, I guess, reconcile the two
of being so critical of the Israeli Prime Minister but
at the same time meeting with the ambassador of Iran.
Speaker 4: So I want to first clear up a few things.
Our administration did not reach out to the Prime Minister
of Iran. Administration received a request from the Iranian Consulate,
and as soon as I heard of that, I made
it clear that we are not meeting and we will
not meet with the Israeli consulate here.
Speaker 1: Right, So there's competing narratives here, just to say the least,
no matter who reaches out to who, which I think
it's odd if Iran's like, man, we'd really love to
sit down and chat with people out of New York
because we think they're going to understand us, and they
hate Israel enough and Mamdani hates Israel enough to go
a certain road. The actual problem with that would have
been the Logan Act and how a lot of people
would have been in a lot of serious, you know,
a criminal behavior type of problems if they had actually
done the meeting. So one of the narratives is that
the request was made and the meeting was at least
tentatively agreed to, and then canceled once the idea that
the Logan Act would throw some people in the hoosgo
became apparent to this mayor, but continue eRx City.
Speaker 4: And when it comes to Benjamint Yahoo, we're speaking about
someone who's the subject of an international criminal court warrant
and he's the subject of this arrest warrant for alleged
crimes against humanity, for war crimes, and he's the architect
of the genocide against Palestinians and Gaza as Israel's prime minister.
These are not facts of my personal assessment. They are
facts of public record. And I believe that when someone
is charged with an international criminal court warrant, it's something
that should be taken seriously, whether it's Benjamin Netanyaho or
it's Vladimir Putin or whomever else.
Speaker 1: Yet, you know who doesn't believe that that we should
actually behave based on international law. The United States of America,
we don't care about these things unless we decide that
we do.
Speaker 3: But we do this case by case.
Speaker 1: We don't follow international laws the way to say it,
and the International Criminal Court means nothing to us by
and large. It is crazy that he's like, I think
that this matters. I think that we should care about this,
because again, if he actually were to take this action
to arrest Benjamin Netna, who to say he was doing
it for the reasons he's laying out in this press conference,
he'd be a lot of trouble. And he knows that,
and so continuing down this rabbit hole of this discussion
is simply a political performance, and this is the thing
that I believe does help radicalize people. I said it yesterday,
I'll say it again today. I hate the idea that
the extension of this thought is to police, you know,
the way we speak. I'm absolutely a fan of the
First Amendment and don't think that we should censor speech
at all. I just think you can own up to
the things you say and what they could inevitably do
to people out there, especially when you're so quick to
blame the other side for doing this exact thing. That
if you say something insane and continue to say it,
regardless of how many pieces of information have been handed
to you saying that the thing you're saying is ridiculous
and not going to happen, if you keep barreling toward it,
then you probably should eventually admit that you actually know
that you can't do the thing you're saying. Otherwise you
get to the point where people see it not happen,
wonder why you didn't arrest, and want to take it
into their own hands.
Speaker 3: But continue may or crazy.
Speaker 4: But I've also made clear is that my administration will
follow all applicable local laws, that this is not our commitment,
saying right, follow through on when it comes to an
adherence to local law. And that's all I have to.
Speaker 2: Add on that.
Speaker 1: And by the way, when he's been asked to clarify
on that statement before, he says he's got a team
looking in to what they can do, and that team
is awful if they haven't already gotten back to him
with nothing as far as the answer to what you
can do. All right, some other things out there that
I thought were interesting. I do want to play a
little bit of this audio. This is Bernie Sanders saying
that he we must not give one nickel more to
US taxpayers to extreme governments in Israel. Look, I know
that Mamdani just referenced Palestine as a group of people,
and I know that Jerry Seinfeld of all people in
viral saying that Palestine isn't a place because it's not
you know, the Gaza strip is a place.
Speaker 3: Palestine is not in fact the place. But I just
think that this is.
Speaker 1: So interesting that so often on the left this is
couched in only one thing. The only thing they say
about this discussion that they think is relevance to the
American people is the victim that they claim exists, and
they completely ignore the likelihood or the reality that Israel
isn't of itself protecting itself from people that want to
do it harm. So they ignore one potential victim to
highlight a different one, and then they say, we need
to strip all the money away from the government itself.
All of these things get us further and further down
the rabbit hole that I think many acknowledge to basically
be just antisemitic rhetoric.
Speaker 3: But here we go.
Speaker 5: We must not give one nickel more of us taxpas
to the extremist government in Israel, not another nickel.
Speaker 3: You know it's interesting too.
Speaker 1: Stop the audio for a second there, because I sometimes
contemplate if I want to play the standing ovation applause
that certain politicians get when they speak to crowds that
obviously desire to see them there, because I don't think
that's a reflection of society. I think that a lot
of people who include the applause they get when they
make statements want you to believe that that they want
you to think, look, this crowd in this place that
came for this specific reason, as cheering and applauding the
guy they wanted to see or one of the people
they wanted to see. That means everybody agrees with this.
That is not true. But I don't want to take
it out. I don't want to censor the applause either.
But this happened in Michigan during a rally for someone
running for Senate there who seems like a crazy person himself.
Speaker 3: But here we're go. It's what the American people want.
Speaker 9: They wanted to admit that education, childcare not in to y'all.
Speaker 1: God, all right, so here, I'll stop it there. Yeah,
I do want to invest in things here in our country.
I do want to be America first. I absolutely agree
with that statement, and I think a lot of people do.
But if we were to actually follow it, Bernie Sanders
just said there to strip every single nickel, every single
form of assistance to Israel. What do you think happens
in the Middle East when they don't have the assistance
that they rely on from us to protect themselves from
everyone surrounding them.
Speaker 3: What is the end goal there?
Speaker 1: What is the end side effect of that type of
financial response? And most people who advocate for this probably
begrudgingly or maybe even in some cases sort of a
joyfully answer that question with it's a decimation of Israel.
Is that even if it took time, the lack of
US assistance moving forward would be detrimental to the existence
of an actual place, a place that does exist. And
so the minute you say anything like that, by the way, too,
you get accused of somehow being brainwashed by Israel or
you know, I don't know. In some cases, they even
start telling you that you're Jewish regardless of what you
actually which I don't care. I don't find that to
be an insult. I am not in fact Jewish, but
I've been called it before, which is odd. But nonetheless,
what I really think is most valuable about this discussion
is that.
Speaker 3: Any version of extreme overreaction to.
Speaker 1: What emotionally you've been manipulated to believe is a scenario
that isn't actually a perfect reflection of what's going on,
would cause exactly the type of damage that the people
who hate a place for reasons that they shouldn't hate
a place.
Speaker 3: This would be the racial, anti Semitic reasons.
Speaker 1: They get exactly what they want something to no longer
exist that has every right to exist. So just simplistically
stating it. Even if maybe that didn't come out the
way I'm meant to do. This is ridiculous for them
to say and ridiculous for them to advocate for. And
they should also know that. All right, quick break, A

Speaker 3: It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man. That's right, It's time for Florida Man.
Speaker 1: On the Dana Show a d Lash Dana Lash Radio
and x A great ways to stay connected to her.
A seventy seven year old is accused of hoarding eighty
cats in what sheriffs are calling one of the worst
discoveries like this that they've ever seen.
Speaker 3: This happened in Martin County and Stuart, Florida. Eighty cats.
Speaker 1: You know that people often talk about the cat Lady
Gail is this seventy seven year old woman's name. Lots
of really disgusting parts of the story that I don't
want to read. I'm laughing through it because if you
don't laugh, you cry. But in all honesty, this is
actually probably horrible, and several of the cats were in
situations that is uniquely awful for them. But you hear
about this and you don't ever usually see a story
quite like this one and I guess this can be
the warning of what could happen if you start to
let more and more cats into the house. I'm a
dog person, because you've never heard of anybody with eighty dogs,
and if you did, that's probably a very happy person,
because it's a lot of very happy dogs. I'm kidding,
but anyway, this is just sort of surreal to me
that it got this bad. They said the house had
no air conditioning, little ventilation, a foot of excrement on
the floor. And luckily all these cats are now getting
removed from this house and the person is in fact
in a lot of trouble. That is crazy. That is
one of two cat stories I have in the world
of Florida. The second one involves a woman who was
hiding in a shed from police until a cat led
cops right to the woman.
Speaker 3: It's hilarious.
Speaker 1: I think this actually happened a little bit ago, and
I saw it a trend virally because there's video and
stuff out there of it now. But cops are looking
for a woman, they're not sure exactly where she is,
and at some point a cat just sort of wanders
in front of them and seems to be like, hey,
you guys.
Speaker 3: Why don't you come over here with me?
Speaker 1: And as they follow the cat toward the shed that
it seems to be going toward and getting inside of boom, there,
in fact is the person they're looking for. This is
a cat done good, which again, I'm usually a dog
person because I often talk about how much better dogs
are than cats and stuff like this, Like, you don't
see a lot of cops with a patrol cat that
they use with them because the cat would not care
at all about said situation. But this one might be
able to be hired by local law enforcement in Florida,
So to me, that's kind of awesome. Another Florida story
I saw, and to be honest, a lot of people
seem to like this one because of the person's name,
because it's pretty disgusting the stuff that the guy did.
A guy by the name of Landon Spearman, who is
twenty years old, was falling around a woman and begging
her for photos of her feet in Florida.
Speaker 3: That's creepy enough.
Speaker 1: When she wouldn't comply and told him she's not going
to give him any photos of her feet. This was
in Orlando, the guy whipped out his spear Man as
people are calling it, and followed her around like that
and then ran away when cops arrived. That is uniquely terrible,
Like I'm not laughing at the horribleness of that situation
for variety of reasons, because that's uniquely scary. I imagine
for any woman that has a dude who's deranged following
you around and then all of a sudden is wielding
a spear you don't want him to be wielding. But nonetheless,
the craziest thing about this too is how amused people
were by the guy's name is. They're like, yep, this
was destined to be the way that land and Spearman
would live his life and destined to be the thing
he would get caught doing simply because of that, and
he was accused of intentionally exposing himself to the woman,
which of course he did. He also said some pretty
vulgar things that I'm pretty sure I can't repeat on
the air that seemed to make this even worse.
Speaker 3: I don't know how you make it worse, by the way.
Speaker 1: And this is something I ask often whenever I find
any stories like this at all. There's a story that's
not out of Florida that I'll probably talk about a
little bit later in the show where a dude wound
up naked and on top of a train and said
he was just trying to surf the train. That feels
like Florida. But I think that one actually happened in Colorado.
But the thing I never get, and I've always when
on the radio and talking about stuff like this is
why naked. Like I kind of understand it in the
case of this pervert in his story, but by and large,
you see a lot of stories out there. And I
even knew a guy in radio who would do a
topic a naked news is what he called it, and
he always gave you two or three stories, mostly out
of Florida, where people were in the news and also
wound up naked. And that I never understand, Like, does
is that something that someone thinks about going in Are
they like, at some point in this thing that I'm
doing that's probably illegal and I shouldn't be doing, I
also want to be naked? Or is it something that
just sort of strikes you in the moment. Are you
someone that's doing horrible stuff or some version of illegal
stuff or maybe some version of narcotics and you're like man,
you know what would make this situation better? No clothing
at all. I don't know which one it is.
Speaker 3: I'd love to have people vote.
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't tell them to vote on any pages
for this show on social media because that'll come off weird.
But I'd love to know what you think. Is this
a premeditated nakedness? I don't have an answer. Craig Collins,
filling in on The Dana Show. This is the Dana Show.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Speaker 3: Thrilled to be with you.
Speaker 1: I saw a newswire headline that I immediately yelled, not in
my America too when I saw it. I'll tell you
what it is and see if you have the same reaction.
The headline says, most Americans are willing to swap out
meat for beans, and again, my first reaction was, not
in my America, We're not going to do that. If
you dive a little deeper into the dumb headline, you
find out that Americans said they would do this once
a week, not more, swap their meat for say beans, specifically,
and only if it was healthier, or if it helped
reduce grocery costs or something else. Again, not in my house.
I need meat to be a part of our dinner options.
I don't like it when we don't have that. I
feel like I'm trying to be overly healthy. But I
just think it's kind of funny that so many people
here are like, yeah, you know what, whatever I need
to do, because you're not going to be as happy.
One thing does not, in fact replace the other. Every
time I've ever been given the Impossible burger or any
version of anything like it, you immediately know that it's
a sadder version of the thing you actually want, and
you immediately really want someone to go ahead and make
you a real burger so you can enjoy it like
a true American. Another story I saw that I thought
was weird and we have very little time to discuss it,
which is probably perfect for this topic, is a toy
company that is announcing a new product that they're going
to be selling for kids. It is a pregnant doll,
and inside of the doll is an actual little baby
doll that's wrapped in slime and a little sack. So
you twist open the stomach of the pregnant doll and
you pull out the little slime filled sack and you
pop out a baby, and then you have a baby
and a regular adult doll together. I have two weird
reactions to this story, and you probably have a bunch
of maybe somewhat normal ones. The first one is that
I'd probably never buy this or any child unless they
like beg for it, I guess, and like for some reason,
because I don't have kids, I was told that liked
be okay for Uncle Craig to purchase this.
Speaker 3: It's just weird. It's a weird thing for a kid
to want to play with.
Speaker 1: But then when I thought about it more, I kind
of like an aspect of this because I'm of the
opinion that pregnant women have babies inside them and not
just things that are not in fact babies. And of
course that goes to the abortion argument and discussion and
the freedom of choice versus the freedom of life of
the baby, and so I kind of liked the idea
that little kids would be playing with something that at
some point you acknowledge what's actually going on there. So
it was a little bit of yes, a little bit
of no for me in the odds of this toy
or the reality of it, or the value of it.
I still probably assume that like a book, a children's book,
would be a better way for them to learn than
this way, But I don't know. I mean, in all honesty,
if it helps people come to the realization of what
I think is going on and how you go about it,
then maybe this isn't so bad. But it definitely went viral.
I think it's actually only available for purchase right now
in the UK. It's unclear if it'll ever be something
that comes to the United States. And my other favorite
part and probably for any woman that's ever been pregnant,
they would enjoy this the most. Once you pop out
the baby, you flip the stomach around, very skinny doll again,
so dropping the baby weight seemed to be easy for
the doll. Quick break a lot more Craig Collins filling in.
Speaker 3: And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quick five.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's time for a quick five on the
Dana Show. A d Lash, Dana Lash Radio and x
A great ways to stay connected to her. So many
other social media platforms out there to choose to find her.
I am at Radio Craig c or Craig Collins filling
in for the day. I understand, although do not advocate
for this thing that happened. The guy who's been running
the teleprompter for President Trump for years now apparently made
one hundred thousand, almost one hundred million, hundred thousand dollars
betting on his speeches. This is probably the negative side
effect of being able to bet on anything via Calshi
or any other thing like it. Caroline Levitt did address
this the other day, again not advocating. Definitely not a
good thing the guy did, but somewhat unsurprising that this
would inevitably happen, because if you saw it trending online
that you could vote on this or that or bet
on this or that as far as what the president's
going to say, and then you can look at the.
Speaker 3: Teleprompter and see it.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty significant temptation for a lot of us,
even if some of us would make the right decision.
Speaker 7: Well, the White House has extremely strict ethical guidelines with respect.
Speaker 5: To issues like this, and as I just told you,
this individual will.
Speaker 4: No longer be here.
Speaker 2: He'll be unpaid administrative I'm sorry, without pay.
Speaker 4: The administrative leave is unpaid.
Speaker 8: That was a decision by the President, so I think
that speaks for itself.
Speaker 1: I think you gotta go ahead and give this guy
unpaid leave if he's betting a bunch of money on this.
The nice thing I guess, if there is a nice thing,
is it's probably happening just before the speech is given,
so it's not like it's actually putting too much out
there in sort of a significant leaked way, but definitely
a benefit you shouldn't have. And I think there's probably
going to be some sort of legal problem for him
down the road.
Speaker 3: But we shall see.
Speaker 1: Another story that I just was interested in, and I
know that a lot of people say that this is
actually tying pretty closely to your health.
Speaker 3: Is how fast of a walker you are.
Speaker 1: The quicker your pace is when you're walking around, the
more likely that you're doing okay in the world of
your physical health. It might not be true about your
mental health, but that's a discussion for another day. I
thought this was kind of funny because I've always walked
faster than my wife, and it's always been a negative
in my relationship, mostly because everyone looks at me and
thinks I'm a terrible person if I wind up really
far ahead of her, like I don't care about the missus,
and I do. It's just hard for me to slow down,
and I do it occasionally or well often enough that
I'm not just leaving her completely in the dust.
Speaker 3: But like her family, go see them, she's from Mexico.
They rip on me, like, how dare you walk so
far in front of her? And now I have an excuse.
I don't think it's gonna work.
Speaker 1: Any married person out there, any married guy out there,
knows this isn't the way to win a fun against
the missus.
Speaker 3: But at least it's there.
Speaker 1: At least I can think about it, and I talked
about it on the radio that somehow I can brag
and say, well, it's good for my health the way
that I'm walking, although I'm sure that that immediately will
have me sleeping on the couch because she's gonna ask
me the question what are you saying about my health?
Speaker 3: What are you saying about me?
Speaker 1: Which always happens, and then you're trapped in a world
of you never should have been there in the first
place as a man, as a guy that doesn't want
to be a part of that. But all right, on
that note, we will take a break. I hope the
missus didn't hear this entire segment. I'll deny it. You
deny it for me too. If she comments to anyone
on TI, I'm kidding, that's not gonna happen. But let's
all trust Tree together. People help me out. Craig Collin's
