This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrill to be with you, D-Lash, Dana-Lash, Radio, and X, great ways to stay connected to her. I'm just going to keep throwing it out there at Radio Craig C. If you want to make me look like more of a viable professional at some point, that would be lovely. Let's do this. Several Democratic-run cities are getting shredded for celebrating Somalian independence,

just days before our 250th birthday. Some of this was actually talked about an outnumbered on, Fox, we're Harris Faulkner. I was running through some of the places, Boston, Columbus, Ohio that are doing this crazy stuff, you would think that after all the fraud stories in Minnesota, that one of the things that would be unlikely to happen in the world of politics, especially days before our own celebration of our independence, would be something as blatant as this and all the stolen dollars that these politicians seem to want donated to them. Here we go. tracking a number of Democrat-led cities that have appeared to put America's 250th birthday on the back burner.

Buffalo held a celebration for Somali Independence Day flying the country's flag at City Hall. That country's flat. And just a day after canceling its 4th of July fireworks show. The city said it ran into logistical issues. In Boston, Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu also celebrated Somalia weeks after she proposed cutting nearly $1 million. from veteran services. That is so unpatriotic. Wu eventually restored the funding

after fierce backlash. Yeah, they gave her some oxygen. She woke up. In Columbus, Ohio, the Parks Department is backtracking after a now deleted social media post that promised a similar celebration. Somali independent celebration. They're backtracking and saying

maybe they shouldn't do that. This is obvious in what it's actually attempting to do. They really are after money, money that they've allowed to be stolen from taxpayers and from our country. They want it then handed back to them. And so they're bending the knee to a lot of this stuff. And it's crazy and it's horrible. It's certainly anti-America.

It feels to be devoid of any sort of patriotism, of course, at a time when I wish we had a whole lot more of it in this society. But even more than that, it's just unapologetic in what it truly is exposing. So I continue to say this on the show today, and I'm hoping for this, that in the near future, We see a whole lot more successful investigations into these fraudsters and arrests that include high-profile names because it's just so poorly hidden right now compared to the past. I did like this a lot. This is something totally different. This is Pete Higgsath, the Secretary of War, which is an awesome job title.

But anyway, he was talking about people who were protesting him as he was making statements to National Guard members in D.C. and I love what he said. He called the people protesting and yelling about him and our military ingrates. And they are in grades. They're definitely not aware of the many, many things that are provided to them by the people that they seem to be screaming and yelling about. Here's Heggs at first, but I'll go further with this. This background noise this morning is perfect.

It's the sound of ingrates, of being gratitude, of people who are, are so blinded by ideology, they can't see law and order and common sense in front of them, that there's nothing ideological about this group. There's nothing political about this exercise. Yeah, they're morons. They're idiots. Law and order is something that every American deserves. He goes on to say, but it's amazing how often people are pushed into their corners politically now

and how radical they can be because of it. I talked about this story earlier in the show, and I'll talk about it again, There was a guy arrested that seemed intent to shoot up a church, a Christian church. He wasn't arrested with like one or two things, by the way. He had flame throwers, a crossbow, and a bunch of other different weapons, intent on again, as I said, taking the lives of a ton of people that are Christians inside of a church. Luckily, he was caught mostly because someone called 911 when they saw him sitting in camouflage outside of the church. church. And then after the police got there and talked to the guy, he claimed to himself be law enforcement that was there to deal with a smoking violation. And then they got him out of the car.

They arrested him. And they found all this other stuff on him. And not a single shot was fired. So a tragedy was prevented in this case. And a tragedy very much targeting a religion. I'll play some of the audio of, I think this is Fox 8 locally talking about the story in North Carolina, because it deserves to be discussed and the attention to it deserves to be heightened from what it currently is to demonstrate to people the danger of some of these crazy talking points that exist now, especially on the left, and who they vilify. And I compared it before, I'll do it again, not that it really is a comparison at all, but just to demonstrate the ubiquity of some of these statements that get made and the places they get made as far

vilifying people for their religion. The lead of the Supergirl movie, which recently failed at the box office, had attacked Christian dads as a group of people that she thought was being critical of her on social media and the movie that they made. That was in the news days before that movie tanked and bombed at the box office.

But that's how commonplace these sort of statements are by people where they're like, you know who the real enemy is. The enemy is this group of people of Christian faith. which is something that this country was actually founded on. Many, many people, our founding fathers, believe that to be, you know, importantly true about the country and its history

as we celebrate 250 years, how closely tied we are to religion and specifically to Christian faith, regardless of what people say. So I think it's kind of amazing that this story is out there and being mostly ignored by mainstream media because they don't want to admit how often they're playing a role in radicalizing these people.

Here we go. Police say just after 10 a.m., officers responded to a call about an armed person sitting in a truck in the church parking line. A nearby off-duty officer with the help of a backup

disarmed a man who they later identified as William Milliken, the third. They say he was wearing body armor and had two flamethrowers inside his truck

at the time of his arrest. Disgusting. That's very surprising. I'm amazed, but today's society that we're living in right now and being a church reason why they have police officers at every church function and other kinds of functions.

I couldn't get over the fact that they also just interviewed like a random guy on the street as a local news is one to do. And the guy said it kind of made sense. Like he's amazed. But at the same time, it's a church. So it is what it is. I think it further proves that point that we're in a dangerous place in society in one very obvious way in which people are becoming very, very comfortable, criticizing and vilifying Christian faith. which just seems so, it's so strange to me. It's been such a, a core component of my own life as a Catholic,

but also I feel like it's been tied to the part of my life that is American. And any time we study or learn about the founding fathers. And so it's just amazing again to see it play out the way that it does. Another thing out there to play that's kind of crazy, this is CNN. They did a sit-down interview with one of the insane Democratic Socialist ladies who's out there. And I love the question. I don't love the intention of the question or the answer at all. But I do love the question. CNN talking head asked this Los Angeles City Council member,

Nitha Rahman, the one who beat Spencer Pratt, which in a confusing sort of set of events, you're not really sure how that goes. But she was asked about being a Democratic socialist and why she is one. And it was to pander and cater to her trying to say good things about communism. It is communism. And actually, the more amazing thing, and I think there's a couple articles out today about this, the amount of Democratic socialists whose policies actually kind of also hate Democrats, they, of course, hate Republicans and anybody who wants to do anything other than give them

a whole bunch of power they don't deserve, but they kind of also hate the basic version of, which barely exists anymore, a Democrat, and not a socialist kind. But here's that back and forth for you to hear for yourself, how insane these people are. I talked with Spencer Pratt. I asked him, why are you a Republican? So I want to ask you simply, why are you a Democratic socialist? You know, I'm a member of the DSA.

I'm also a member of the Democratic Party. And I really got into this work to make sure that we are serving the people of Los Angeles. And I don't think there's particularly a Democratic socialist way or a Democratic Party way of fixing a streetlight or fixing a pothole or making sure that we're delivering for the residents of the city. But what is clear to me at this moment is that the residents of Los Angeles are frustrated with the status quo, that they want change. And that's exactly what I want to deliver for them as they're made. Here's what's amazing about that answer, too, is that she just completely ignores any of the stuff that they'd actually do in the world of Democratic socialism. Zoran Mamdani, a great example of this. He is getting torched on social media for telling everybody in New York they needed to move their thermostat up to 78 degrees.

Because, darn it, that's communism. A baby, controlling everyone. everything and anything, controlling the means to production. These are all things they want to do. And yet she says, hey, there's no Democratic socialist way to fix a streetlight. We're going to fix it. And then we're going to take most of your stuff if we don't think you're allowed to have it. That feels a little bit different than how a Republican say would fix said streetlight or even a Democrat and sometimes would do it. But here is a little bit of the Zornamadani story because I just thought it was funny to compare it. She's saying that there's nothing dangerous about Democratic socialists. They're all totally fine. And Zoron's like your house can't be colder than 78 degrees.

Socialist Mayor Zoran Mom Donnie has a solution to beat the heat. He told New Yorkers, set your AC to 78 degrees. Turn off lights and electronics. You're not using and unplug what you can't. Everyone roasted him. Yeah, people hated it. They hated the idea of this. And eventually he's going to have some sort of task force going in Big Brother style

and making sure that your thermostat is at 78 degrees and no colder. and if you have an electronic one or smart one, they're probably just going to change it. That's something they definitely do. Yes, democratic socialism seems terrible, and all the ways they go about it seem terrible, and the ability for you to be an independent human seems to be the thing they hate the most.

And actually, I did the three martini lunch. It's a podcast. You can find it a bunch of places. And I love the way that Jim Garrity of National Review ended the thing by saying that an Independence Day, we should celebrate the country, we should celebrate what makes America great, but you can also celebrate your own personal independence.

He's totally right about this. Democratic socialists hate this idea, but it is true. You're a completely independent person here in this country, and you can celebrate that and how awesome it is for that to be true. And you can also celebrate the fact that the United States is doing well in the world of soccer, which is not often the case. So actually, I'll close what's mostly not an uplifting segment with a little bit of Andres Cantor, just screaming the word goal after the United States scored a second goal to win

two nothing or two nil against Bosnia the other day and advanced the round of 16 in the World Cup. If anything I just said in this segment brought you down, this should hope. Back up. There is a reason this man is a legend and it's because he's still not done. I'll stop it at 35 seconds. There's actually 20 seconds more. And I'll be honest with you.

Our coverage, English coverage, which I actually understand of the World Cup is so much worse than Andres Cantor just because of that. And then all the other moments where you can tell that he's way too excited, but in a great way to be calling any sort of soccer match whatsoever. I quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. And we got to tip our head to the people who make it possible, including the folks, for instance, burn a gun.

Now, I have no problem thrown lead down range. I have absolutely zero issue defending myself or anyone else. However, I also realize sometimes you have your options limited. Sometimes you go to gun-free zones, not intentionally, but maybe you got to. Maybe it's for work. maybe, whatever it is. Municipal, private property, we respect private property rights, but also we want to make sure that we're safe.

So how do you deal with it? You diversify your options, just like you diversify your caliber, or what kind of blade you carry, right, or maybe however many mags you carry. Burn a particularly the CL compact launcher, that's really the only model for this purpose you need to look at. This shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 60 feet away. When you compare that to a regular taser or stun gun, you got one or two rounds. This is a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge.

And it's not a gun, so it doesn't care about gun-free zone signs. Doesn't care about gun-free zones. There's no background check. There's no waiting period. There's no tax stamp. You order it online. They send it very discreetly right to your house right on your front porch. It's easy to use.

And it doesn't, like I said, there are no waiting periods, no restrictions. It is a great option for when your options are limited. I'm not telling you to get a replacement. But I am telling you to have a backup. always have a backup, always have some kind of resource for when your options are limited. Diversify those defense options today.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. That's right. It's time for a quick five on the Dana Show, D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X. Great Ways to stay connected to her. Elton John, 79 years old, has signed a, a multi-pound, a multi-million, excuse me, pound deal to have a hologram perform for him after he dies. I hate this. I hate the people that, well, I don't hate the people, but I hate the concept of this, I guess. I understand why you take the money if you're Elton John or anyone else, and especially if you're 79 and assuming that at the very least,

you're not going to be performing for a lot longer, even if you're still on this earth, that, hey, just let the hologram do it. But this would be the worst possible show to go to, in my opinion. And it actually sort of connects to the next story I have. But it just seems ridiculous that I'd fork over any amount of money to watch what is basically a CD playing and a hologram in front of me that's not a person. And I could see all that on a video on YouTube instead. Young San Franciscans hate AI, apparently. They've said that it's like having a dumb friend.

I think a lot of people who are going to school right now, graduating and assuming that whatever degree they have means that they're going to get an amazing job. The idea of competing, not just against the rest of the workforce, but against AI is uniquely angering a lot of these people. It's uniquely frustrating to them. And it's true that there's oftentimes when if you're using AI, it is a dumb, dumb friend,

especially if you ask it to make like a video or something of you and include any amount of text because it doesn't seem to have any idea how to spell or write in English, which seems to be a bad thing. I would say. And I'm sure you can try enough times and get it to work, but I understand that. And then one last one in the world of silly stories that are out there right now, there is a website, PettyMillion.com, which allows you to put a petty complaint up anonymously about anything you want. They're trying to get to a million complaints. I think the website just launched. So it only has like 178 petty complaint so far.

I assume it'll easily get to the million. But I do love the current featured complaint, which is a person upset, about the website itself and how many people are allowed to give their inner monologues and complain about whatever it is that they want to complain about on the internet, along with a couple bleeped words in there, and it says it's normalizing all the things we hate about society and that you need to just keep your bleep to yourself. That would be better. And then my favorite part of this anonymous complaint is it ends with end social media

and a giant exclamation point. That's a pretty good complaint. I agree with that. I don't want you to end it, but I still think it's funny. This is Craig Collins filling in on The Dana Show.

There's a whole bunch of other social media out there. She's on TikTok. I follow her on TikTok, and I follow like eight people on TikTok, and they're quite good on all the platforms. They're on. So definitely check out Dana's social media, watch her on TV, listen to her podcast. Very, very famous human. I am not a famous human, but I'm thrilled to be in the show today and lots of things to talk about. One of them is the fact that John Brennan is suing the Trump administration saying that they are, going after him with vindictive prosecution.

Brennan, of course, is the ex-CIA chief who helped orchestrate the Russian hoax. It was not real. That was 100% targeting and trying to get Trump to look guilty of things he didn't do and they knew it. And they seemed to very much enjoy the fact that it was working for a short amount of time before it epically failed. That guy is saying that it's vindictive prosecution to investigate him, which is hilarious. But it's the latest in a line of these sort of things where, and I love that, like, Bolton wound up, wound up pleading guilty to something because so many of these people who are saying that this is political in nature and they're looking into stuff that they shouldn't be

looking at and how dare they wind up getting caught doing something. So part of what's amazing to me is that I'm assuming that's how this movie ends, is that this person, Brennan, will also be thrown behind bars, hopefully for some amount of time for the bad things he did, that are, of course, political prosecution and not just the real version of investigating someone who committed crimes. Another story out there that I don't think is getting a whole lot of attention, and it's even being described that way on social media, is a man in North Carolina who was arrested outside of a small town church that was full of worshippers with a, quote, arsenal in his car. The man when confronted by an off-duty police officer who was called because someone dialed 911 when they saw the man in full-body armor and camouflage sitting outside the church in his truck, the off-duty officer who confronted him, asked him what he was doing. He claimed to be law enforcement. And he said he was there to enforce a smoking violation when that obviously seemed like a lie. They further confronted him. No one fired any weapons of any kind. He was arrested. and the arsenal was discovered.

I do have news media coverage of this from Fox. But again, I think it's sort of important. Now, I think it's very important to talk about a story like this for a couple of reasons. But here I'll play the audio first. Police say just after 10 a.m., officers responded to a call about an armed person sitting in a truck in the church parking lot. A nearby off-duty officer, with the help of a backup, disarmed a man, who they later identified as William Milliken, the third.

They say he was wearing body armor and had two flamethrowers inside his truck at the time of his arrest. That's very surprising. I'm amazed, but, you know, today's society that we're living in right now and being a church, and the reason why they have police officers at every church function and other kinds of functions. It's crazy that you just interview somebody on the street to local Fox 8 affiliate there. And the person says, well, it's a church. So I guess this kind of makes sense. And it's horrific that it does. But that's exactly the reason to talk about a story like this and to demonstrate the world we live in right now.

Every single church should have serious security in front of it or around it, even if some don't. And this is a small town version where you might think nothing like this could ever happen here because of the deranged lunatics who are coming after people and doing it because they're told who the bad guy is. And the bad guy can be a magad dad or someone. You know what, this is an interesting thing to compare it to. It's not the same at all. It's actually an awful comparison in a sense. But I hope that it makes sense that I'm going to go this road. I know that the Supergirl movie did Towerball at the box office,

and one of the reasons they're claiming that happened is that the star of the movie crapped on Christian dads as part of her reaction to getting criticized online about the movie or her portrayal of the care, whatever it might be. But it's that level of commonplaceness to what. which many individuals will crap on Christianity or faith itself and attack people, especially men, and especially people who vote conservatively, for somehow being radicalized by their faith. And so because of that, I think we now get to a place in society. We're not only to somebody who's interviewed by the local news say, yeah, and that makes sense.

It's a church. I guess somebody would target it. But there's also a deranged lunatic sitting outside with two flamethrowers, 500 rounds of ammunition, mission, knives, duct tape, police scanners, handguns, crossbows. He had two crossbows and a launcher as well for his 500 rounds of ammunition that sort of looked like a handgun itself. All of these things is because he believes in his deranged, horrible, evil way that somehow he's fighting a bad guy that has been told time and time again to him exists in our world that doesn't. Christianity is not the catalyst to anything bad.

in our society. And it's insane that people act that way, so nonchalantly in some places. But this seems to be one of the bigger news stories out there that's not getting covered enough that is a sobering reminder of the world we actually live in and the way that certain narratives are used more and more to radicalize people. And the politicians do it. You know this. I know this for a very specific reason. They just want you to vote for them. They want you to think the other side is evil and you have to vote for them because they're the good guys, and then they steal all your money and do terrible things with the trust you put in them. But it's doing much more harm than just that, especially in the world of this, this sort of discussion about religion itself and this religion specifically,

which I also am. I'm a Catholic, being somehow a beginning stage to something terrible. And actually, if we're talking about sobering reminders, it's kind of a weird topic for a holiday show just before the celebration of 250 years of the United States of America. But it just, it happens to be what's in the news. There's this other big story from a couple days ago, testimony that was given about Sheridan Gorman, who was the young woman in Illinois at Loyola, University or near Loyola University, I believe, who was killed by someone who was here illegally. Her mother and father both spoke. Her mother actually testified in front of Congress about how, how hurtful, angry, whatever you want to call it, they are, that when they're told that they've lost

their child, their child is gone, they're also told that a system profoundly failed them in the sense that this person shouldn't have ever been here, shouldn't have been released any of the times they were apprehended, and all the different information that demonstrated how likely they were to harm someone, if given the opportunity to be free in our society again. But there's so many versions of how could this possibly happen? And Jessica Gorman, the mother, who testified, started her testimony the other day, which was very moving, and I'm sure many people saw it by saying she's not racist, she's not xenophobic, she's none of those things, but she also no longer has her child, and she wants answers from government. She doesn't want them to avoid the topic because

they don't like the politics of it, which is horrendous. But here, I have two pieces of audio. I have the father. His name is Thomas Gorman, speaking on television on Fox, about a lot of what happened and the disrespect that was given to his family and then actually also Jessica speaking about this. And one of the things they also referenced to the politicians who seemed to not give a crap at all that they were there and wanting to immediately avoid or move on or even trying to ignore the entire proceeding. You have a woman sitting in front of you whose child was killed. And it seems that political policy is a huge portion of the problem, and they're trying to pretend it's not even happening, this is a certain level of, like, lack of humanity, a disrespect that just should

never exist in our society and certainly shouldn't exist from the people who are elected to represent us in D.C. and then represent themselves and do terrible things. But here, here's a couple clips, one including both the father and the mother of Sheridan Gorman, and another one including the actual one of the more disrespectful things that happened. They don't want this to change. And for this, we need a bipartisan effort. We do need change. And when we heard, you know, sorry but as Jess so eloquently call them out on, it's just disrespectful.

Yeah, it is. It's very, very disrespectful to say, sorry your child is gone. But here's the other clip that actually includes one of the said politicians being a complete piece of crap. Jessica, that's when Democratic, I have to say, say one of the Democratic representatives there was napping, napping while they were giving the opening remarks and when the other angel father was giving his testimony. When they came to me, I literally was just here to give, tell the story of Sheridan and her extraordinary love. Yeah, it's insane. Again, I'm actually just going to skip the audio from the politician because I don't even care anymore.

but the fact that both of those individuals would talk about how disrespected they felt going in front of Congress and politicians and talking about the loss of their child, it's insane. And I guess the thing I'll say most about this, or the thing I think about often when I see stories like this, is how easy it is for people to retreat into their political corners now in our society. It's always been the case. It's not brand new.

But the idea that you can do it to the extreme that people go to, And especially in the case of, say, a mother, a father sitting in front of you and telling you that the loss of their loved one is something that you might be able to fix for other families in the future. And to just be able to nap, yawn, ignore your way through that because you think the political atmosphere of today protects you, that you can walk out of that room and be like, oh, that was all politics. That wasn't real life. Even though for all the people speaking, it's 100% real life. That's all it is. It's not motivated by politics. Does it serve a political side of the aisle and a position that someone in politics have?

Yeah, it does, but that's not the intention of it. And you need to step back in the world of these politicians and these crappy elite DC people and realize what you're actually doing and who you're actually speaking to, even if you wind up somehow, some way, claiming that you disagree with someone that's going through the pain that this person is going through. And I can't really envision why you would disagree with them and wanting to protect people. in our country moving forward. But if you did, there's still a different way to behave

that none of these individuals seem capable of behaving. And it's absolutely horrible. And I can't think of a lot of examples where I see this happening as much on the right, where people crap on the person crying about the loss of a loved one. It's just, it's amazing to think that the political side of the aisle that people are on, their assumption is, these politicians' assumption is that the voters support them

in this behavior because they can convince that the entire conversation doesn't matter because Trump's an evil guy or politics are evil on a certain side of the aisle. Or even, as I said a second ago, and as mentioned in other stories, Christianity Catholics, people of faith are terrible, horrible people. That is another catalyst to a lot of these discussions. All right, one other thing, I'm just going to play this quickly, and I know you actually can't see the video. So I'll explain to you what's on it, but I do want to play the audio of them talking about it. It was a pull done about the racial breakdown of Democratic socialists, how many people look which way. And a lot of Democratic socialists are going to claim to you that it's a very diverse makeup,

when a lot of it is white people, 85% of Democratic socialists are white. I had somebody send this piece of audio to me and make a joke that it sounds a whole lot like the KKK, Democrats and a lot of white people and a lot of being motivated by things like race. And it just makes no sense, to be honest, too. And some of the things that Democratic socialists seem to hate most are white people, by the way, for white people to make it up. But here's a little bit of Fox News discussing this and even having a talking head give her take on it, a black woman who worked for Democratic campaigns in the past, saying, you know, this seems, this looks bad. Now look at all of this. And I want to get your not only reaction to that, but what do you think it means in terms of the future of your party, Yemise?

It feels like people who have never really had to work, and we know them a lot, hasn't had a very traditional job. And this is reflective of a lot of people that are in DSA. They've led very privileged lives where they've only had to sit and ponder about what hard work is and never had to actually do the hard work. And I think that's reflected in a lot of their ideology and a lot of their platform. It's crazy to hear a woman crap all over the people who are, you know, mostly ushering in Democratic. wins. Crazy Democratic. Far left wins. But these people are part of a movement that is helping Democrats win elections. And she craps in them because they're made up a white people that she assumes are privileged. It's just kind of amazing to hear that happen. But yeah, it doesn't seem like a good thing

for the party itself to claim that they're doing something for the sake of diversity and the vast majority of people who support them are the people who claim that they're ashamed of their own whiteness, much like James Talariko in Texas, has been saying time and again. All right, break a lot coming up. Craig Collins. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. Patriot Mobile. The only the conservative phone network in the country. There's nobody else like it. They got premium priority nationwide service across all three major U.S. networks. You get unlimited data plans, international roaming, and they have a 100% U.S.-based customer support team. They're based in Texas, by the way. So you might hear a Texas drawl when you talk with some of them

on the phone. But they also support free speech, religious liberty, the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment. And if you're in a contract or you're paying off a device, you know what? They got you covered. They've got a whole program for that. They can pay off your device. Get you over to Patriot Mobile because here's the big kicker. The money that you pay for your service is not going towards Zoramemdani. It's not going towards gun control. It's not going towards spreading communism in the United States. They actually put their money where their mouth is. They helped us, parents in our town, take over our school board from Marxists, right? They've helped parents in other towns do this. They have been in the state capital fighting for Second Amendment rights. No other cell phone service does it because they're all Marxist.

Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative one in the nation. Switch today. Keep your phone, keep your number, upgrade the choice is yours. Superior coverage, products, and customer service. That's PatriotMobil. PatriotMobil.com slash Dana 972 Patriot promo code Dana for a free month of service. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida, man.

That's right. It's time for Florida, man, on the Dana Show, a D-Lash, Dana Lash radio on X. A great ways to stay connected to her. Apparently a dude has been stealing signs throughout the country. I think this has mostly been happening in Florida, though. He's recently been in Orlando doing this. Smokey Bear, or Smokey the Bear, as a lot of people actually know him. But I think Smokey Bear is the correct name for him. The prevent forest fire signs. A 30-year-old dude has been stealing them for a while and then selling them online. not exactly a crime he was hiding. He faces up to 10 years in jail for doing this. A jury trial is set for July 20th.

I don't know what he's going to tell the jury. He's just going to tell them like they were too tempting. We all love Smokey Bear or Smokey the Bear, again, as a lot of people think it said. And why not just steal him? Like, I couldn't help it. It's a crime of passion. I don't know what he's going to say, to be totally honest. I don't know why he pushed for the jury trial, because that's a decision you get to make.

We'll see how that goes. that's coming up later this month, but a dude who's got a weird impulse to steal a bunch of signs, of course, from Florida. Another Florida man drives a tractor to retrieve a pickup truck. He crashed earlier in a ditch. He was arrested for a DUI on the tractor. I found this to be amusing. You know, drunk driving is not funny. I'll put that out there first. It's dangerous. It's bad. It's the kind of thing that no one should do. But I like when people are stupid enough to do terrible things and get caught because then hopefully they're off the roadways and won't do it again, especially if luckily no one seems to be injured. But a Florida dude who drove his truck off the road

decided the best thing he could do is go get his tractor and go ahead and try to get it out of the road. He is caught. He is caught because of how terribly he was driving the tractor that obviously didn't go very fast. And so thank God it wasn't as bad as the truck itself. But this is not a good move. This is a mistake that you shouldn't make. I'm going to again say that drunk driving is bad and don't do it. But especially if you're drunk, probably don't get behind a tractor to try to get your car out of a ditch. That seems like an obvious mistake. A plane hit a dead end after a Florida man.

I tried to use Uber to escape deputies. Or excuse me, a plan, not a plane, hit a dead end after this. This is a crazy story too. The guy was like, man, I got to get out of here. The cops are after me. I know what I'll do. I'll just get a ride share in my actual name. There's no way they'll figure this out.

And then you got to wait for it. It shows up there. It picks you up. And then eventually it immediately gives up if cops start to chase you. Like, I don't know what he thought the Uber driver would do. If he'd get in the car and be like, it's going to be a great tip if you outrun the authorities. The answer was, no, I'm going to go ahead and pull over. Go ahead and hand you over to them.

And then wipe my hands entirely of this situation. You got to get a better getaway driver. Again, not trying to help you do crime well, but that's probably a bad plan. Quick break, a lot more. Greg Collins filling in on The Dana Show. If you're a parent or grandparent, you already know what's going on. Our kids are being flooded with messages about gender ideology, sexuality, and sexual exploitation from social media, Hollywood, and even their own schools, often without parents knowing. So that's why I'm grateful for the work of concerned women for America.

For more than four decades, CWA has been fighting for faith, family, freedom, and parental rights, and the protection. of our kids, and they're taking the fight to state legislatures to Congress and even the Supreme Court to defend our girls and preserve common sense. This Title IX month, CWA has launched its Defend Our Girls campaign. When you give $20 or more, you'll receive one of CWA's educational resources on gender identity or sexual exploitation. Give $35 or more, and you'll receive both. These are practical tools to help you navigate today's culture with truth, confidence and clarity. And your gift helps protect parental rights and defend opportunities for girls and ensure that families have a voice in the policies shaping our country. Join the fight today

and visit concernedwomen.org slash Dana. That's concernedwomen.org slash Dana. And together, we can defend our girls, equip parents, and protect the next generation. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. This made me really mad. This is Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show, D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X and Twitter. It's a dude standing outside a Bass Pro Shop who's very upset at the amount of American flags. Just before the 250th birthday of our country, he's mad about patriotism. Here we go. What the hell is this?

Showing you American flags. I've never seen so many American flags ever in my entire life. I'm not confused about one country I'm in right now, but there's more, kids. Okay. Who cares? I'm at the Bass Pro Shops. What the hell? I'm afraid to go inside.

I can't believe this, to be totally honest with you, that he says he's afraid to go inside, and he's just showing American flags outside of the store. They're along the pathway, the road that would take you in to the Bass Pro Shep. and then just in front of the shop. And he's living, apparently, that there are American flags celebrating our country. I guess he's not watching any of the World Cup at all. And he doesn't care at all about the country. And many Democrats don't.

But it is shocking that he's upset about that. It's the dumbest thing I've seen in a while as far as a dad in this country, at least how he's described, a liberal one, saying that he is afraid to go in the store and see more America inside of America. I don't get it at all, honestly. And to be even more candid about it, it makes me so mad that we're two days away from the Fourth of July, two days away from celebrating 250 years in this country,

and that he's a guy who benefits from it, because he doesn't deserve it, darn it. I want to take it away from him and so many others. But all right, that's just a thing that's the American Days of Our Lives version of this person's trash, and they don't deserve to be here. Quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana show. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. That's right. It's time for Quick Five on the Dana Show, D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio, and X. Great ways to stay connected to her at Radio Craig C. If you want to follow whoever this dude is that fills in for her occasionally on this show. And actually is also working at one of her affiliate stations at KSEV Radio,

which you can check out on Twitter too if you want. That was a selfish plug. All right, let's do this. I thought this was interesting. Burned out Jen Ziers in New York City are showing up at parks and laying down on the ground together. They call it a lie down club or a club rest stop is what someone claims it is. This is to combat hustle culture. So you show up in the middle of the day and you lay down in public like you're homeless and you do this around complete strangers. We're losing the ability to communicate with each other. And I feel like a lot of young people are. are struggling with this, like they'd find it difficult to talk to a cashier while buying things at a grocery store. But lay down in public with complete strangers who probably want to steal your wallet, that seems completely fine. One of the people who created one of these clubs went viral for talking about it. Here we go. If you haven't heard, I am starting a free third space for people who just want to lie down and have a break. This is good for the people who are retiring from

hustle culture. If your nervous system is shot and you feel overwhelmed, Come to club rest off. Here's some reasons why you should join. You're tired of every social activity revolving around productivity. You miss third spaces that don't require spending money. You want to slow down without feeling guilty about it. And you want a free activity that leads you feeling better than when you started. And hey, if you slow down a whole lot, like too much, in fact, to where you stop doing any job at all,

you can just stay in the park because that's the next convenient stop for you. If you can't pay your bills anymore, this is crazy. This is insane. I like that she called it a third space where you can feel safe and being lazy. I'm not against taking a nap, by the way. I just think this is the kind of thing you can do on your own time in your own home. You don't need to do it around a whole bunch of other people, again, in a place where I assume someone is just stealing a whole bunch of wallets.

Another story out there that I thought was interesting as far as quick five topics go. Luigi Mangione was late for a recent court hearing. He claimed he was stuck in an elevator. I feel like that was probably a fairly tense set of minutes where the courtroom is like, we don't know where this guy is. We don't know what's going on. Is he on the run? But he was stuck in an elevator.

Luigi Mangione, a unique piece of crap, who for some reason people seem to like, even though he's literally a murderer, which is crazy. But that story went viral. I thought that was interesting. Also, I thought this was kind of interesting, too. A scientist has developed a single-dose DNA method of delivering, quote, long-lasting weight loss. It's a diabetes drug.

I don't think I want any part of this. If they're saying that they're going to actively change my DNA, again, they like to do that. And they're doing it so that I never have to take more medicine to lose weight. I feel like there might be a lot more harm than good coming from this. So it's an um-no for me. Or that's a no dog for me on this idea. And actually, I'll go a step further as a guy who's now 40

and thinks that I probably should get in better shape, I think I'll continue to resist any form of the medication version of doing it. Not that I'm telling people out there who have no other choice, I can't go that road. But I just don't think it's going to have a lasting impact. And I think every study says that the minute you stop taking these drugs, you put on any weight that you lost, I think the only way to do it legitimately is to actually change your life,

which is what my wife tells me to do all the time. The next time I'm having a Drake cake, and she's telling me, I really should be running and not just eating snacks. I'm like, all right, fine. But at least I'm not taking the weight loss drugs that so many people are taking, because I think that's a shortcut and a short-lived one at the very least. And this is the worst version of it possible.
