This is The Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in D. Lash, Dana Lash Radio, an X.
A great way to stay connected to her, Facebook, all the places.
You can go all the places to find Dana and the very, very talented human that she is.
Or at Radio Craig C.
If you want a far less talented human to follow on social media, that would be me.
President Trump bodied a reporter at the Lincoln Memorial.
This was hilarious.
I do like this probably quite a bit.
Before I play that, though, let's play some job numbers, because job numbers are actually quite good, too.
So well, some in media places and on the left are trying to tell you that everything's terrible,
that none of the promises that Trump made while he was trying to get elected have come true,
gas prices being up, et cetera, et cetera are bad.
Well, that stuff is happening.
They're ignoring all the other things that might actually be saying that some stuff is going well.
Here we go with that.
The big job jobs report for April.
65,000 expected.
Nay, nay, nay.
We are much stronger.
10015,000.
One, one.
And last month, upward revision from 178 to 185.
These are good numbers.
These are really good numbers, is what they're saying there on CNBC, because they are actually really good numbers.
And they mean great things for us and for you and for everybody else out there in the world.
So let's harp on some of the good things happening because it seems impossible for mainstream media to tell you any of those stories.
All right, let's do this.
President Trump, as I said, bodied a reporter at the Lincoln Memorial.
Pretty funny to have what Trump thinks are stupid questions asked to him.
And for him to tell reporters that these are in fact stupid questions, I'll never get sick of this every time it happens.
Here we go.
You know why?
Because I want to keep our country.
Beautiful and safe. Beautiful also.
This place was a disgusting place.
It was Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial,
and we had a terrible disgust—
I don't know, you probably don't see dirt, but I do.
And you walk down this pond.
If you would have walked down,
they'll tell you better than anybody.
They had to take 11 or 12 truckloads of garbage
out of that lake, out of that water,
and sat there for years like that.
And that's not what our country is about.
Our country's about beauty, cleanliness, safety, great people, not a filthy capital.
It's such a stupid question, you asked.
We're fixing up the reflecting pond to the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument,
and you say, why are you fixing up?
Because you can understand dirt maybe better than I can, but I don't allow it.
This is one of the worst reporters.
She's with ABC fake news.
and she's a horror show.
She's saying,
why would you bother fixing this up?
Why would I bother taking
11 or 12 truckloads of filth out of the water
in front of the Lincoln Monument?
That's what made our country great.
Beauty made our country.
People made our country great.
A question like that is a disgrace to our country.
I love everything about that.
I love the,
how dare you even ask this question,
you son of a you know what?
This is the verbal version
of slapping somebody with the back of your hand.
and saying, how dare you even show up here with this being a thing you want to talk about?
Because, and in that moment, he's right, the media places are desperate to just shape anything he does is terrible.
It doesn't matter what he does. If he put on his pants the wrong way, they'd want to talk about that and how that makes him a dictator, et cetera, et cetera.
So, again, I just think that's kind of amazing that you have Trump going that road and essentially attacking the reporter the way he does, because he's really, really good at that.
is someone, I think, who does a wonderful job at crapping all over the stupid things that people
say and do, and people say and do a lot of stupid things. Let's play this. This is also Marco Rubio.
I played a little bit of this audio earlier in the show. How about him talking about Iran,
about some of the overnight maneuvers that Iran was partaking in? He said this this morning.
So this is important. We're expecting a response from them today is also mentioned here.
and I know the president has said that Iran wants to make a deal.
We hope they want to make a deal taking in the reality of the situation they're in
and not continue to offer deals that are laughable to us
and allow us or forced us to keep waiting for the next deal to come along.
Well, we should know something today.
I mean, we're expecting a response from them.
We'll see what the response entails.
The hope is that it's something that it can put us into a serious process in negotiation.
Obviously, we've seen the reporting overnight that Iran has established
or trying to establish some agency that's going to control traffic in the straits,
that would be very problem.
That would actually be unacceptable.
I mean, the normalizing of their controlling of international waterway is both illegal
and it's just something that's unacceptable.
And the world doesn't start asking itself, what is it willing to do if Iran tries to normalize
a control of an international waterway?
I think that's unacceptable.
But we're expecting a response from them today at some point.
We have not received that yet as in the last, in the last.
hour, but perhaps that will come. Their system is still highly fractured and a bit dysfunctional as well.
So that may be serving as an impediment. I hope it's a serious offer. I really do.
Yeah, we all hope it's a serious offer. I think the biggest lesson that the world can learn right now
is that if Iran wants to abuse so significantly its potential ability to control the straight of Hormuz,
what would they possibly do with a nuclear weapon if they were ever to gain one? What would that world look like
if we have this much trouble in this way with something that's far less serious than that obstacle
would be, even though it is serious because control of the Strait of Hormuz has demonstrated
to the world that it impacts a lot of people in a lot of ways.
China is quite upset about what's been going on between Iran and the United States,
and the biggest reason why is because it's hurting China.
It's hurting their economy because of what's going on with the Strait specifically.
And so I just can't imagine that people can't take.
a couple steps when looking at these stories and say, all right, maybe this is why the U.S.
did what they did, because Iran is so intent on wielding such over, you know, over estimated
amounts of influence ridiculously trying to do anything it can to serve its purpose all the
time to a degree that doesn't match its actual capabilities, its actual power. And the only thing
they have is trying to contest the control of the Strait of Hormuz. And part of the reason why that's
all they have is us, is conservatives, is this president deciding that we're going to get
involved before anything gets as bad as it possibly could. And again, this regime actually
acquires the capability of threatening the world in a different way. The Virginia Supreme Court
has rejected, or excuse me, the Virginia Supreme Court has rejected a, I said it right,
a redistricting effort in Virginia, probably something that you've been paying attention to,
to some extent.
I do think some people are misunderstanding a portion of it, though, because I get calls at KSCV
radio in Houston, Texas, where I work from listeners who seem to think, especially since I live
in Texas, that what happened here is going to essentially allow people in Virginia, politicians
in Virginia, to do the same thing there.
Texas was redistricted recently, and one of the biggest complaints is that it's against the Virginia
a constitution to do this the way they're doing it. Essentially within the constitution of the state,
it says that in order to redistrict, you have to be, you have to bring up the idea before one
election and then after another election. And because of early voting and all the things
that Democrats seem to love so much, the argument in court was whether or not we were actually
after an election or whether an election is currently going on in Virginia, which the Supreme
Court there in that state said it was. And here's my favorite part of the
argument. I'll just say this before I play some audio of just the simple announcement of the
decision. My favorite argument that I heard Democrats make in Virginia is that the election is a
single day. That's actually something they said in a courtroom in front of people. And I wish that
were true. I think a lot of conservatives desperately wish that that were true, that we didn't have a
whole lot of mail-in balloting and early voting and all the stuff we have now, regardless of if it's
convenient in some ways to some people. I think by and large sacrificing that in order to have a
truly secure election matters more to a lot of people. And so having a one day, you got to show up
at some point on this day and vote. Maybe we make it a national holiday. So everybody gets the day
off of work. But then that's it. You can't go anywhere else. You can't do anything else.
Oh, I'm kidding about that. You got to do this. You got to get this done. And then, boom,
we know who the winner is by that evening. We can do this for the power ball. And
the mega millions, we should be able to do it for our elections, and yet we can't. And the biggest
reason we can't is all the arguments people make about how convenient it is to have a system
that's more easily abused. And I'm not saying that that means that military men and women who
are fighting abroad can't vote. I will accept some version of mail-in-balloting, but predominantly,
by and large, this country should vote for the president on a single day in the places in which
we live and also prove, of course, that you're a citizen in order to do that. By and large,
that would be a much better thing than the system we have now. And it was just amazing to hear
the Democratic position on the potential overturning of their redistricting effort as being
unconstitutional by the state's constitution as being, it's just one day. We're just talking
about one day and the election's over. That's crazy. And would potentially be true if they let
Republicans, conservatives, get what they want in the world of our elections. But here's a little
bit of Fox News announcing this decision, which will probably be challenged, might get to the Supreme
Court, and the Supreme Court might make a totally different decision on this one than they did in Texas.
They might say that the Constitution in that state disallows something that was allowed to happen in Texas.
It'll confuse a lot of liberals, a lot of morons out there, I'll say, but it might just be the
exactly correct decision. I will see. I can't predict the future. I'm just curious if that's where
it will go. And they wasted a lot of money to attempt to redistrict in the first place in Virginia,
like hundreds of millions of dollars when you factor in all the advertising for people to vote
the way that they inevitably claimed they did. But anyway, the thing that is more important to me
about that is at the end of that whole process, they might be out $100 million plus dollars
and have nothing to show for it. So do they double down? Are they the drunk people in Vegas
who decide that they're going to win their money back if they just keep going?
But here is the Fox News announcement of this decision.
I just figured I'd play this for context since it happened earlier today.
Welcome back.
We do have some breaking news coming out of the Virginia Supreme Court that I wanted to share here with you now.
As we're learning today, they struck down a voter-approved Democratic congressional redistricting plan,
delivering another major setback to the party in a nationwide battle against Republicans for an edge in this year's midterm elections.
Here's what we know coming from the Associated Press.
The court ruled that the state's Democratic-led legislature violated procedural requirements when it placed the constitutional amendment on the ballot to authorize the mid-decade redistricting.
Now, if you remember, voters narrowly approved the amendment on April 21st, but the court's ruling renders the results of that vote meaningless.
Democrats had hoped to win as many as four additional U.S. House seats under Virginia's redrawn U.S. House map as part of an attempt to offset Republican redistricting done elsewhere.
at the urging of President Trump.
Now, that ruling, combined with a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, severely weakening the Voting Rights Act, has supercharged the Republicans' congressional gerrymandering advantage heading into this year's midterm election.
I do love the way that they refer to at the end, the gerrymandering advantage, because Democrats have been trying to have and have had a gerrymandering advantage for quite some time in this country.
The last thing I will say about this topic, and I find it pretty interesting that there's a mention of the,
the Voters Right Act and the Supreme Court decision there is that, yeah, if we stop drawing
districts based on trying to create, quote, black districts or Hispanic districts and not just
districts that have American people in them, regardless of what they look like, will actually be
doing something far better.
And our just, just cookie cutter the thing out, man, that's always been my desire.
Just take a exact square in most places.
I know that there's going to be a couple cities that have a disproportionate amount of people
in them. And so maybe you get two squares, but you don't get 17 different districts that all have
squiggly lines that get into the city area where you have a dominant amount of Democratic voters,
which is what you get in places like Illinois, in places like California and New York that
do not demonstrate the actual beliefs of the electorate of the constituents. It just finds a way
to create these ridiculous, crazy districts that shouldn't exist and probably won't exist. And yeah,
if you look at a countrywide map of how people vote.
And I know that this is not demonstrating the populace of certain cities.
But if you just look at the country itself and the 2024 election and blue or red,
you have such a tremendous amount of red that from space you would think the country was entirely red.
You have to get closer to it to realize that there are these blue areas that have a disproportionate impact in our society and probably shouldn't.
obviously don't because of the electoral college to an extent. But nonetheless, I think that we're
so close to the thing the founding fathers actually wanted, especially with the weakening of the
Voters' Rights Act and how it was abused, not how it was intended to be used, and also decisions
like this out of Virginia. All right. Well, take a break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on

dot com slash dana that's noble goldinvestments dot com slash dana 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 a quick five on the d lash dana lash radio on x a great way to stay connected to her or any of her
social media it's really really great out there uh there's a debate of the best tv moms just in time for mother's day
i was amazed this is i think a ranker dot com voting thing
at who wound up number one and two on this list?
Because it definitely shows you
that these type of polls or lists or whatever they are
that the internet creates in 2026
are profoundly different than the ones they would have made
just a few years ago.
Coming in at number one for Best TV Mom
in a recent vote on Ranker.com was Kitty
from that 70s show.
She's not a bad mom.
She's not the best TV mom of all time.
We all know this.
And number two was Moira from Schitts Creek.
That is also crazy to me.
That would come in at number two.
Mortisha Adams at number three for the Adams family.
Sophia at number four for the Golden Girls was robbed.
Definitely deserved a better position than four.
And then Wilma and Marge come in at five and six,
the Flintstones and the Simpsons.
That's just crazy.
And then my favorite TV mom,
who I probably would have voted number one on this list,
because we watched a lot of this growing up as kids.
My mom really liked this show.
Lucy.
I love Lucy.
I couldn't believe she came in at number seven, Lucy Ricardo.
She definitely deserved a higher spot on the list.
And this is only because young people are voting.
Also, Bewitched Samantha Stevens, Carol Brady, and Reba of the Reba show round out the top 10.
But a lot of undue influence from younger people trying to put Kitty Form in at number one.
It's not that she's a bad mom.
She's just not the best mom out there.
This is like the goat debate in the NBA.
And anyone who ever tells me it's LeBron James, I know you didn't see.
see Michael Jordan play basketball.
I know you didn't witness it firsthand like I did
because there's no way you'd say it's anyone other than MJ
if you were around at that time.
What's the weirdest thing you do alone?
Was another question that was asked on Reddit
and people gave very honest answers
because they often do this on the internet.
One person said they had full-blown debates with themselves,
that is debates with themselves when they are alone.
Out loud, they would argue both sides.
of a certain conversation and then assume that the thing that they were talking about actually
had eventually finished with like a discovery that maybe they didn't know before.
They didn't argue with anybody else.
This is, and I've done this before when you're alone to think something through,
but I don't think you should assume that you actually got to the answer to the problem.
You probably need to take in other opinions at some point before you know for sure where you've
landed.
Other people said they've given a full concert via either the shower or even just around
the house, including choreography, everything you need to perform.
And then another person just said they just do primal screams.
I feel like that's a left-leaning crazy person.
But just in the house alone, you just start screaming bloody murder, and you assume nothing bad's
going to happen.
I feel like a neighbor's going to knock on the door if you do that too much.
But those are just some of the things that people do when they're alone.
Nobody admitted to being naked.
I was surprised that wasn't on the list higher.
Quick break, a lot more.
Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.
Chapter exists to cut through all of the confusion, which is on purpose, with Medicare, right? Because people are told, go to the government website or here, talk to Randow insurance agent. And then, you know, after all is said and done, they discover, people discover that their plan that they picked doesn't actually cover what they need. And it's all purposefully confusing. That's how people end up on the wrong plan, on the wrong plan, overpaying and undercover. So you need someone on your side to cut through all this nonsense. That's what Chapter does. So the only thing. So the only thing.
the company, the only advisor actually, that compares every Medicare plan across the country.
They're not going to give you one or two companies. They're looking at all of them because
they want to find what actually fits your doctors and prescriptions and budget. It's an honest
translator for Medicare. They explain all your options. They help you avoid plans that are great
for insurance companies, but terrible for you. Now, on average, people who work with chapters
save about $1,100 a year on health care costs just by getting onto the right plan instead of
going with whatever was pushed at them.
It's easy and free and fast to talk to chapter.
Under 20 minutes, they'll look at your whole situation,
walking through your choices if you're about to enroll
so you know what you're picking in why.
You're going to walk away completely informed,
confident instead of overwhelmed and confused.
Take control of your Medicare dial pound 250 on your phone
and say my Medicare.
That's pound 250 and say the words,
my Medicare to get your options reviewed with chapter today.
This is the Danish show.
My name is Craig Collins filling in.
I'm thrilled to be with you.
a lot of stuff out there to discuss a big breaking news story from earlier today that the president
put up on Truth Social was the three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. The celebration in
Russia is for Victory Day, but otherwise in Ukraine, because there was also a big part of a factor
of World War II was part of the announcement. I think I actually have Fox News doing a better job
of just giving you the whole thing here. But President Trump announced today that there will be a three-day
ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine that hopefully potentially could end this conflict long term.
This just came out. You may or may not have seen it. The president just put out on true social
regarding Ukraine. I'm pleased to announce that there will be a three-day ceasefire starting
tomorrow through Monday in the war between Russia and Ukraine. It will include a suspension of all
kinetic activity, also a prisoner swap of a thousand prisoners from each country.
The president's got some optimism that this could hold longer than three days.
Yeah, it could hold way longer than three days.
The ceasefire will conclude a suspension of all kinetic activity, as you heard there.
This request was made by me directly, is a continuation of the stuff that President Trump put on Truth Social.
I very much appreciate its agreement by President Vladimir Putin and President Vladimir Zelensky.
Hopefully it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard for war.
President Trump continued on Truth Social.
talks are continuing on ending this major conflict, the biggest since World War II,
and we're getting closer and closer every day.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
I do like that he ends a lot of his truth posts with thank you for your attention to this matter,
even though a whole lot of people who then read it and talk about it refused to say that it came from truth social,
which is just weird.
They refuse to make that a thing that they want to talk about because, darn it, it's terrible somehow for us.
Another thing out there that I thought was important.
And again, hopefully that three-day ceasefire turns into the end of a long conflict that President Trump actually promised he could end.
Maybe he'll actually end it.
But other news, CNN was forced to admit that Republicans are now poised to pick up eight seats within the House in 2026 after some redistricting battles didn't go their way.
The Virginia Supreme Court decision to strike down what was described as illegal gerrymandary.
in the state because it goes against the state constitution's requirement that you change districts
after one election and before another another one, not after one, and then actually during one,
which was the argument that was made against that position. And real quick, actually, before I play
audio, the audio from CNN, I just want to explain that better. So Republicans, a lot of conservatives,
myself, definitely among them, believe that we should pretty much have a one-day election,
that there can be some exceptions, mostly for military men and women, to mail in their ballots.
But by and large, people should vote on the day of the election, that day only, and then we know the winner by that evening.
That would be an ideal situation that would remove a lot of potential fraud that could exist within our voting system,
and I think does exist within our voting system.
This would be great.
The Powerball and Mega Millions can do this.
We should be able to do this too is something I've often said,
filling in on this show or on the radio in general.
And it's just so funny to listen to Democratic lawyers
make the argument that the election is held on one day
and watch the other side say that that's obviously not true in Virginia,
that there's people currently voting early in some of these primaries and elections,
the midterm election that will happen toward the tail end of this year.
So it's absolutely ridiculous to pretend as though an election isn't currently going on.
I love that it's Democrats' own fault that the argument they made failed in front of the Virginia Supreme Court.
And I think would actually fail in front of the U.S. Supreme Court if it gets challenged to that level,
because it's true that elections are sort of, I feel like I've been voting for people in Texas,
where I live in Houston, like all the time right now.
I feel like you're voting for someone almost constantly, special elections, primary season, runoffs that we're having now.
By the way, anyone who pays attention to Texas knows that Cornyn is an absolutely atrocious choice as the next senator.
He's the current senator out of our state.
He deserves to go away.
He needs to go away.
And the flip-flopping and terrible things he does and doesn't stand for, regardless of if he votes with Republicans, 80, 90, 60 percent of the time, depending on what lives.
you check, how often he actually agrees with the R that's in front of his name as far as a
senator goes in this country. He absolutely needs to go away, whether it's Ken Paxton,
who inevitably is the person who can do it right now, or whether I wish it had been Wesley
Hunter, someone else, you need a replacement, and you need a replacement that's not an insane
Democrat like James Talafrico, as he's been called by some other people out there in the world.
But anyway, I just think that it's stuff like this that really truly matters.
when you have these discussions on how to change things in our society from political standpoint.
And then also you have to admit, as it seems CNN does, that doing away with the voter right act,
the way it was being used raciously to create districts based solely on race,
regardless of what that race is, if you build a district based on race, that seems to be racist and wrong,
it's now caused a situation where that plus Virginia, plus some redistricting that has to,
occurred in places like here in Texas. It means that Republicans are very likely to hold the
House and maybe even gain additional seats. Here we go.
So here's where that leaves the redistricting wars nationwide right now. Republicans have targeted
14 extra seats. Democrats could pick up six. Theoretically, it would be an eight-seat GOP
advantage. But here's an important caveat. Just because the seat is redrawn by Republicans
or even Democrats doesn't mean it automatically goes that way, a seat.
Wait, what? Do people have to vote? Is that what Dana Bash is telling me? Oh, my God. What an incredible
caveat that she added there that people actually have to vote in the election to choose who wins.
So she's begging her Democrats and whatever the redrawn districts will be that won't favor them.
They need to get out and vote and try to fight because, again, none of this is predetermined,
even if it's very much designed to be via all the gerrymandering that's got on that predominantly comes from the left.
I know both sides do it.
I know both political parties have done it for a long time.
But if you look at some of the most ridiculous examples of it right now,
in places like California or Illinois or New York,
you see the most insane squiggly lines.
It's a puzzle you could never do.
If you had to fill in all the puzzle pieces to some of the districts that exist
in some of these left blue states, like these far left blue states,
it would be literally impossible to figure out how these puzzle pieces exist.
It would look insane.
and it should be much easier.
It should be, you know, first grade level puzzle where everything's basically a little block.
All right.
Some other things out there that I saw that I thought were kind of interesting.
There is one story that I probably should have just done as a quick five today.
But I thought it was so interesting.
I wanted to talk about it.
There's a Canadian fiddle player.
A Canadian fiddler is the way that he'd be described,
who is suing Google for $1.5 million.
It is a lawsuit. The dude's name is Ashley. He's a guy named Ashley. But anyway, the reason he's suing Google and its AI platform is because a summary of who he is and what he's done and what's made him famous that you can easily get on anybody by going to Google and hitting the AI mode when you search a name, said that he was a didler, not a fiddler, and actually referenced how he might be a sex offender who harms children.
It was an auto-correct for some reason that changed the word about being a person who plays a specific instrument to being someone who would do something that the slang term might describe as horrible and terrible that then made the AI just like think that he actually was a sex offender.
This is insane.
And the reason I think it's so crazy is this is exactly the type of problem that only AI could come up with.
Like for how great AI is, for how many things it makes easier.
And producer, Stephen and I were joking in a commercial break earlier during the show,
how both of us use it in a whole lot of ways.
Like no actual human I think would have libelled the fiddler guy
to claim that he was a person who engages in the sexual abuse or whatever of children
because the word fiddler can easily be changed to be the word diddler.
That's just not a thing that a human being.
being would even come up with, it's the computer that doesn't understand a lot of things that
would actually go that road. By the way, I'll just suggest this. I'm not really sure that I should,
but I've done it before, so I suggest you do it too. I type in your own name and then put AI mode in
and see what comes up, see if you, in fact, pop up on the top of the list as one of the people
that's that's most known with your name or if you have to add some context to AI to get to you.
But eventually it gets to all of us because social media is so prevalent, and we all
have enough information out there that a quick, you know, review of everything on the internet
can locate almost anyone. So if you do pop in some information with your own real first and
last name, and then, as I said, give it whatever amount of additional context you need,
you get to inevitably write a bunch or read a bunch of AI stuff about you. And it's weird,
but I have done it because I've seen stories like this before and I was curious. And I'll tell
you this about the AI version of me, Craig Collins. It's nicer to me. It's. It's nicer to me.
And I think some of the things it says about me might not actually be true.
Some of the things about just how successful, how wealthy, et cetera, I am.
I can go ahead and refute them.
But darn it, it's not calling me something horrible.
So I'm not bringing anybody to court over it.
It can keep doing whatever it wants to do.
I might just eventually use it as a resume for myself, actually, to send that to someone and be like, hey, it's on the internet.
It might be true.
I want don't you go ahead and believe it.
All right.
On that note, we will take a little bit of an earlier break.
we will come back and have a little bit more fun because I'll be honest with you.
It's Friday.
It's just before a holiday for Mother's Day.
And I'm kind of sick of news.
And I think a lot of other people might be sick of news.
So we'll close out the show with some, I think, fun topics that you still can know about,
still share with people at the water cooler, much like Dana's Quick Five topics,
but probably not the hardest hitting news when we come back after this.
This is the Dana show.
My name and AI thinks a whole lot of me.
which is a weird, humble brag when it's not accurate stuff that they put out sometimes.
But you can look for it.
My name is Craig Collins, filling it.
Our partners that bring you the program, it's our friends over.

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, Dee Lash, Dana Lash Radio, an X.
Great ways to stay connected to her.
Deputies found a guy in Florida who thought he pulled a fast one against Walmart.
He walked up to the self-checkout.
He had two items in his hand.
He had a $329 monitor, and he had a banana.
I guess what the guy decided to do.
He rung up just the banana and then paid for the banana and then walked out, like,
mission accomplished.
No one's going to figure out this Ocean's 11 version of a thing.
Con, I just pulled on this Walmart.
Apparently, they immediately realized the thing that he had done.
He also had other goods on him, so it wasn't just the monitor that I guess was
stuffed in the pockets and whatnot.
Those are the only things you could see, but the guy might have had an additional $200 worth of stuff on his person.
That's going to get you in trouble.
That's going to get you a throat in the Huskow for a bit.
I just love the fact that he rang up anything.
Because if you're going to go monitor and banana and just ring up the banana, this is not a suggestion to do things better.
I assume you still get caught committing the crime.
But just have the you know what's to walk out not paying for anything.
If you want to commit a blatant crime like this, just go ahead and go the step further.
bypass all the paying whatsoever, and then hopefully still get arrested immediately for that.
Also, this story with a little bit of audio, even though I know we're short on time.
A Florida woman thought there was someone intruding in her home.
It turned out it was two alligators fighting on the porch that her kids would usually play in in their backyard.
This is a uniquely Florida problem.
I thought because I never thought that the gators were going to enter my porch.
Definitely it looked like they were fighting over territory or something.
It wasn't like a mating ritual that I had seen.
because there was blood and it had it some hindquarters, like in its jaws through the door.
It was scary, and I just warned everybody else in the neighborhood, like, watch your kids,
watch the dogs, because it was fast.
And they were powerful.
Yeah, that's two alligators fighting in the backyard again.
Her name is Kayla.
The only thing she did wrong since it's Florida is not put this up on the internet for people
to pay her to watch the rest of the fight because that would have been the right move.
It's a pay-per-view, baby.
I'm paying for that.
All right, quick break, a lot more coming up in a bit.
It's our friends over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service that's out there.
They also want to save you money.
You know how I was talking about the school board races?
So in our area, Patriot Mobile was actually able to help mobilize those parents that were fighting back against the school district that were wanting to really wanting to just like just pump DEI and CRT into the minds of our kids.
And it was a giant battle too.
And the parents were so outfunded.
I can't even believe how expensive all of this was.
they were so outfunded and they were out organized, but then Patriot Mobile came in and helped
help them by help supporting them financially with this battle. And this is what your money
actually goes to support. If you look at all of the other cell phone companies out there, they all
have packs and they all fund the things that you vote against every single time you're at the
ballot box. And that's not, look, you don't want to have to sit here and work doubly hard to
overcome what your cell phone money is paying for, right? So Patriot Mobile, not only are they the only
Christian conservative entity out there, but they're going to save you money with their plans that
they have tailored for every business or family of any size. It's also super easy to switch. You can get
activated in minutes. They got unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming. I've
used this service all over the world for over 10 years and I've never had an issue. Also, if you're in a
contract, they can buy you out. They have a whole program for that. You get prioritized premium
nationwide coverage without compromising your values or having your money weaponized and be put to work
against you. Take a stand,
make the switch. Patriotmobile.com

This is the Dana show.
My name is Craig Collins filling in
for the day. I will actually be back
on Monday, too, and then Dana is back
after that. A few things
to talk about out there that I thought were interesting
just as quicker stories.
My name is Earl star, Jamie Presley.
I'm also a movie star in a bunch of different movies,
is, quote, evolving with the times and launching her own only fans.
This is after other people like Shannon Elizabeth have also done this,
well-known actresses.
Here's the nice way to say it,
that are not as young as other only fans people are.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
Shannon Elizabeth made millions of dollars,
I think in just a day being on only fans,
and Jamie Presley will probably do quite well.
She's a rather attractive person.
But I do find it interesting that some of these celebrities who are doing this are doing this as, say, a second or third career, as opposed to a first career, like some of the people they'll compete against on that website who are in their 20s.
Again, no judgment, not trying to disparage anybody.
I think they're going to have quite a lot of success while Shannon already has and Jamie will.
And I'm not telling you you should go subscribe to these sites.
That's not the attention of this.
I just find this interesting if we'll see more of this,
if some of the people in today's society who are the very popular working actresses
that Chan and Elizabeth and Jamie Presley used to be,
that they're not getting as much work in Hollywood anymore,
will also inevitably go down this road of doing something like this.
And what will actually be on those pages? Who knows?
Carmen Electra is another name that comes to mind as someone who's done this recently
and made a bunch of money off of it.
And I think in Carmen, or I can't remember who, maybe it's another famous person's case.
It was because their kid, Denise Richards, her kid did it, then she decided to do it, and you make a bunch of money.
So I guess this is how they're going to make their extra millions as a different career move or, quote, evolving with the times.
I doubt a lot of people will be upset about that who choose to subscribe.
Quick break, a lot more.
This is Dana Show.
Craig Collins filling in.
And, of course, the folks who make the program possible, fresh-pressed olive oil.
and olive oil is, golly, I think we go through a bottle of it a month easily.
Olive oil is just fresh fruit juice.
I mean, olives are a fruit.
And like any juice, if you're going to use it for something, it's best right after you press it.
You guys know I'm a big foodie.
We cook a lot at the house.
I'm very, very particular about my olive oil because even like stale oil ruins a dish.
So you can get fresh pressed artisanal olive oils shipped right to your house from each new
harvest and it is one of the most delicious artisanal olive oils out there. This is what I use.
And I have three different kinds and it's all from the guy who's called the olive oil hunter.
His name is T.J. He's like, you know, a chef. He's a foodie. And he's very, very particular
about olive oils as well. Because not only is the flavor, a big reason why people love them, but the
health. Olive oil supports heart health because it lowers LDL cholesterol. It lowers triglycerides.
It may even help prevent type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, all kinds of stuff.
I mean, it is rich in antioxidants, rich in stable monosaturated fat.
So it boosts your immunity.
It resists oxidation.
This is like a staple of the Mediterranean diet.
So you see why so many people, like one of the biggest blude zones is people in Sardinia
where people eat olive oil every single day.
So you can get fresh olive oil from fresh pressed olive oil.
It's very easy.
a free full-size $49 bottle of fresh-pressed olive oil.
But all you do is you pay $1 for shipping.
You get a free, it's basically a $50 bottle.
It is a very good bottle.
No commitment either.

All right, horse girl is a DJ
who is going to start performing shows
throughout the United States.
She is from Germany.
She is half horse, top half,
a half human, bottom half, just in case you were curious.
And I saw a Denver Fox affiliate talking about the debut of this woman's show.
And this reporter not making a single joke, which is absolutely failing in the world of local news.
Because puns at least are supposed to be a huge part of coverage of stories like this.
Here's a little bit of that audio.
Star DJ with unique signature look is going on tour and making Denver the first stop, Horse Girl.
That is spelt with two eyes as a self-proclaimed German.
half horse, half human DJ.
Uh-huh.
She's bringing the nature as healing tour to the U.S., Canada and all across Europe.
After the fall, to mark her first album release in June.
Staying completely in character publicly,
Horse Girl is known for her appearance with a horse muzzle and ears
for songs like My Little White Pony, Praise the Farm and My Barn, My Rules,
also known as Stella Stallion.
Horse Girl will debut her tour on December 18th.
Yeah, I'm already stopping right there.
This is utter failure, because there should have been a bunch of jokes,
a bunch of little jokes. They don't even have to be funny.
I call them dad jokes, if you will.
When you're talking about the debut of Horse Girl,
the half-horse, half-human DJ,
who will be putting on a show.
She's not even, I don't mean to say this any other way.
It's not going to sound nice, but it is what it is.
Like, DJs are different than musicians to me.
It's a different skill set.
It's a lot more capability, say, with a computer
before you get on a stage
than someone who actually needs to do a whole lot of fancy stuff
on a stage to be successful.
So Horse Girl, not even, I think, is challenging
as a band. But maybe that's because I know how to edit stuff that I think it's less challenging.
But anyway, needed more jokes there. All right, quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in
on The Dana Show.
