Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
That's right, it's time for Florida Man. My name is
Craig Collins filling in for Dana. This is the Dana
Show dlash Radio. Great ways to stay connected to her.
A guy at eleven fifteen at night on Monday went
outside in Florida and started firing his gun upward toward
the sky, an inherently stupid thing and actually a dangerous
thing to do. He was celebrating the Gators win in
(00:36):
the NCAA National Championship game. So that gets you arrested
in Florida or anywhere else. Police said that not only
was he in trouble, but no one else should do this.
You shouldn't go outside to celebrate anything by just indiscriminately
firing a weapon up in the air. Again, because what
goes up must come down, and oftentimes we see horrific
(00:56):
stories that wind up being an aspect of this. This
guy just arrested for being an idiot. No one actually hurt,
so that's good. But Florida Man doing Florida Man's stuff.
This story is insane. I feel like there's so many
pieces to this. I should do it, you know, slowly.
A cops arrested Daniel, forty nine years old. He was
(01:17):
publicly intoxicated, which is the least of his issues as
far as the virality of this story. He was at
an Applebee's inside the parking lot lot in Clearwater, Florida.
And then here's the rough part, or the extra rough
part of his story. The drunk man was wearing a
pink thong, fake breasts and a pink wig. Reasons undetermined
(01:39):
as to why he was doing that, but the dude
was drunk and yelling at people inside an Applebee's parking lot.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I can't get over this one.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I genuinely will ask you and try to fathom in
your brain for a second what you do if you're
in Florida, in Clearwater and you're for some reason choosing
to dine in an Applebee's on that evening. No offense
as an Italian to a very large chain out there,
but not exactly at the top of my list for
places i'd go. Unless they're an advertiser. Then they're my
favorite thing I've ever had in my life. I love
(02:10):
the never ending bread sticks. I will be bought very
easily by advertisers. But nonetheless you're pulling in. Maybe you're
even on vacation in Florida and you see Daniel forty
nine years old, rocking a pink thong and nothing else,
fake boobs and then the pink wig, and you think
to yourself, Ah, I'm going to a different location. I'm
(02:32):
not going to stay here. He is also gone viral
in his orange jail outfit, which after he was arrested,
they made him put on instead of the other thing.
He's charged with disorderly intoxication. I booked on a few
other issues in county jail. It's a misdemeanor charge is
likely to go his way and probably something that he'll
never live down. I was going to say with his friends,
(02:55):
but I'm not sure if Daniel has any and I'm
not trying to be mean. I'm just guessing that that
might not be the case. People might not hang with
Daniel on the regular. But this is the kind of
thing that I can't imagine if he was blindly intoxicated
so he doesn't remember this, and if this isn't the
way he normally behaves, how you even understand this story
when you sober up, I was doing what again? But
(03:17):
I imagine this is a typical night out for mister Daniel,
at least I'm assuming so. But a ridiculous story, one
of my favorite and the most ridiculous Florida stories I've
seen in a while.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And then finally I have a piece of audio I
want to play.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
This is Channel eight NBC News, who are actually always
on your side in Florida in Tallahassee, talking about something
that happened in Tampa. I don't care about penguins visiting
a state house. I don't need to break bad against
it or you know, be overly positive about it. What
I am amused by is how tongue in cheek you
(03:52):
have to be is local news or local news anchors
to say things like this into a camera and not
hate your job.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But here we go on your side the animals.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
When I'm at work is my number one priority.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's Paul hands on deck, and that's our entire facility.
That's a penguin.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
There was an overwhelming amount of cuteness at the state
Capitol today.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Penguins from right here in Tampa took a trip up
to Tallahassee to talk politics with lawmakers.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Every one.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I'm Josh Benson.
Speaker 7 (04:20):
Hey, Josh RELEI, thank you for jeffing us the Florida
Aquarium alongside their tuxedo to the boers are asking for
critical funding.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I hate these stupid little news puns that happen all
the time with these newscasts, the overwhelming amount of cuteness
and the tuxedo wearing representatives that went in front of
the Capitol building for the penguins. These are the things
that again would make me hate to be, say a
news anchor at a local news station. But you're just
reading it. You didn't write it, and darn it. The
(04:47):
paycheck is good, and that's fine. I'll go ahead and
read anything. But that would make me cringe and I
imagine made a lot of other people.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Gold prices have surged over forty percent since January twenty
twenty four, consistently reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs Research,
The upward trend is expected to persist due to strong
demand from central banks. It's stuff like this that's made
me take action and why I've bought precious medals like
gold and silver. I partnered with a great company that
makes it super easy to buy, easy, transparent and simple.
(05:17):
And that company is gold Co. They're a huge supporter
of this show and they're the best at what they do.
And right now you can get a free twenty twenty
five gold and Silver kit jam packed with critical information
about buying precious medals. It was a huge help, not
just for me, but to all of you. If you
do this and for my audience, you could also qualify
for up to a ten percent instant match in bonus silver.
(05:38):
It's a really great deal, so don't miss out. Visit

Likes gold dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about d
lash or a Dana Lash Radio on x on Twitter
to stay connected with all things Dana, a bunch of
other ways to stay connected with her.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Two.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I'm not sure how many people remember this name. I
remember it because she's insane. But there was the Disinformation Zar,
the Disinformation Governance Board head that the Biden Harris administration
picked back in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Her name Nina Jankowitz.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
She wound up not having a job because as soon
as the American people heard about literally George Orwell nineteen
eighty four stuff, big brother stuff, we were all nonplus
about it. A lot of us were not happy with it.
So now she's a writer. I think Bulwark and some
other places have published some of her craziness. She also,
(06:42):
i think, testified recently in front of the House. All
of this is now her new claim being that we conservatives, Republicans,
the horrible side of the aisle that she hates, lie
about the fact that Democrats want to censor us. Now
again to remind you, this was the person that was
(07:03):
going to be the head of the disinformation board of
the government, the Ministry of Truth more or less, that
would have told us what was a lie and what
was not a lie, including that Biden was mentally great.
He was doing an incredible job. He was so sharp
behind the scenes, as the American people eventually found out,
and a lot of us knew all along that his
(07:23):
brain was broken profoundly. But one other thing to remind you,
and I'm sorry to do this, I think that this
will not be fun for a lot of people to hear,
but to write you who exactly Nina Jankowitz is and
all the things she claims about the lies of the right.
She recently created a version of a Mary Poppins song
about how horrible Republicans are and their lie about lying
(07:47):
and put it up on social media. So again I apologize,
but I can't help but play on this.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Hovering is really quite for relicious, a suenax. It takes off,
makes them sound for coaching Congress. So this information's origins
are slightly less atrocious. It's how you had a little
lighted lie, Oh god, light lie.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It's how you had a little line.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
When Rudy Giuliani said I in t on Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, when Rudy Juliani talked
about a bunch of things that wound up being true.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I think is one of the problems this here. Let's
play another one TikTok.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Influence to say COVID can't cause pain the longer in
the sinful, when we really should take note a.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Lot of the examples she even uses are just wrong.
But this is a failed theater kid that's desperate for attention,
that really really wants you to know that she's not
the one who's trying to keep the truth from you.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And she claims that social media.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'm again sorry to anyone that I just played that
on you for I couldn't help it. It's it's that
bad that you might actually be amused by it. But anyway,
she's someone who wanted to censor all kinds of things,
social media, whatever, and do it through the government, and
do it with the guise of protecting you. And she's
claiming that Republicans are too afraid of this narrative that's
(09:03):
not real, even though after Elon Musk bought Twitter, he
helped prove to us with the Twitter files that it
absolutely does happen. And even Mark Zuckerberg, now a fan
of Donald Trump, has admitted that Facebook did way too
much censoring at the behest of the government. How do
you just go out there and say that these definitively
proven true things are not true?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And I think there's only one.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Way you do that. Well, let's go with two ways
that you do that. The first one is you're so
blind to your own arrogance that you don't even check
to make sure that what you're saying is accurate. This
is a nicer assumption I make, and I doubt many
people actually fall in this bucket, but I assume there
are some that are so arrogant in their opinion that
they don't even pay attention to when people actually confirm
(09:48):
the opposite of their point as true. And then the
other one is you just assume everyone else is dumb
enough to not do that that you might know you're lying.
And this, I think is something that happens a lot
from the government just treat us like we're morons and
assume that we are, and we have to prove to
them or not. And a vast majority of us hopefully
do that. I think at least some of us definitely
(10:10):
do that, and just looking to see what the truth
actually is. But how ridiculous that she's out there writing,
you know, op eds and appearing in front of Congress
and saying all kinds of things about how the disinformation
obsession of the right is actually you know, a horrible lie,
convincing you to be more passionate emotionally about one side
(10:30):
than the other, even though Democrats often play the emotion
card all the time. And I will say one last
thing about this, and then I'll move on to something else.
What I think is really hilarious and I probably can't
get over in any sense of the word or in
any sense of this idea. Is why it would matter
if you were such a passionate proponent of the First
(10:51):
Amendment or free speech or the lack of censorship in
our society that you went too far with that. You're like, yeah,
we really need to make sure not to censor anything.
Isn't that still inherently a good thing? Isn't still having
the freedom and ability to voice our opinion no matter
what it is good, even if you were overly passionate
about that idea, compared to the opposite, someone like this
(11:12):
moron saying out loud that we need to shut everybody
up because they're too influential and all the horrible lies
they're telling us.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Again, just assuming that you're a moron, it is our
friends over at Celtech.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
The PR five PR fifty seven chambered in five seven
rotary barrel pistol, and it's the lightest five to seven
on the market. In fact, it's actually forty percent lighter
than the next lightest five seven And that's they achieved
that in two with because of two things. The rotary
barrel design and the unique top loading design so they
(11:46):
replace traditional magazines with stripper clips so you get a
slimmer carry profile and a twenty plus one capacity. It's
engineered for simplicity and reliability, with the quickest and easiest
field strip available. It is actually some thing, ladies, you
can reasonably carry as a five to seven, which has
always been difficult for me. But now with US I can.
It's slummer and lighter, and it's super affordable. The MSRP
(12:09):
is only three ninety nine. You can afford to get it.
It's the first of its kind. Celtech PR fifty seven
rotary barrel pistol chambered in five to seven. Visit Keltech

Speaker 5 (12:25):
Now all of the news you would probably miss.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
That's right, it's time for Quick five on the Dana Show.
My name is Craig Collins filling in d Lash Dana
Lash Radio. Great ways to stay connected to her on
x on Twitter. A guy in Nevada apparently got arrested
because he had seven seven emotional support animals that he
should not have. They were tigers. I have multiple pieces
of audio for different news organizations covering this. Let's do
(12:53):
a local news news channel twelve in Nevada talking about
this story.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Forty's rate of private home to seize the full grown tigers.
Seven tigers taken pretty early this morning. Police tell us
the owner, Carl Mitchell, did not have the necessary permits
to keep those tigers.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Unsurprised that that was true.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Mitchell was also taken into custody accused of resisting arrest.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That's also not surprised that he resisted arrest. This story
is so insane.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Let's do it in a foreign accent and see if
it sounds any better.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Well, and Nevada man has been arrested after police seized
seven tigers from his property, which he claimed were his
emotional support animals.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
This story is nuts. It's crazy, and I love the fact.
My favorite part about this too, is that he went
emotional support animal. When he was told that he couldn't
have seven tigers in his house, He's like, no, no, it's fine.
They're all here for emotional support. You should just let
me have them. It would be great if I could
keep these and then he resists the rest, and then
while other things happen. But that's Nevada, not a Florida
(13:55):
man story, but it feels like one for sure. Have
you felt like the world has been windier? That's a
real question that science has chosen to answer, at least
here in the United States. It is the windiest year
on record, or the windiest month, excuse me, on record
in quite some time. Wind you know, I guess has
been through the room a lot of places. Most of
(14:18):
the country in fact, well above average throughout the Midwest
and parts of the south, a little bit above average
on the coasts. But has it been windy? Have there
been a lot of wind gusts? March twenty twenty five,
The answer was yes. I'm surprised that more people aren't,
you know, storming social media and or some television stations
telling us this is some sort of byproduct of global
(14:39):
warming or something else that it isn't. But just has
it been windy for you? Apparently? A science says yep,
if you thought so. Another story out there that I
thought was kind of ridiculous. A Chinese restaurant had to
close after cops discovered that its roast duck option on
its menu is actually just street This is disgusting, but
(15:02):
in China, where they're known to eat a lot of
things that the rest of the world would not consume.
And sometimes we blame stuff like COVID on the things
they eat in wet markets and whatnot, even if that's
not exactly where it actually came from.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Not important. This time, a roasted.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Duck that really looked a whole lot like a pigeon
turned out to actually be a pigeon. That gets you
in a lot of trouble. They are also social media
posts of the cooked product that definitely does not look
like a duck, And I don't even know why I
find this funny. I would definitely not eat in a
whole lot of restaurants throughout China. One last story that
I thought was interesting, and I have a little bit
(15:38):
of audio for this one too. A seventy year old
foster mom in Missouri is accused of potentially not confirmed yet,
but potentially trying to trade a child for a pet monkey.
This is a real story. A prosecutor actually had to
comment about this to a local news station. There's definitely
some scary parts and some seedy parts that potential of this.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
But here's a little bit of that audio.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
We'll have to do some deeper dives into hopefully their
communications to see if that trade was actually for consideration,
if that was for the purposes of human trafficking, and
we don't know that yet, but it is an allegation
that's out there that we need to look in it.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I'm glad they're going to take it seriously as an allegation.
The woman's name is Brenda, who's accused of potentially doing this,
wanting to boost her quote exotic animal collection and in
the process maybe trading away a child as a foster mom,
which is disgusting and horrible. I hope this isn't true,
to be entirely honest with you, because they're saying it's
an alligation and they have to look deeper into it.
(16:38):
I hope the end result is that somehow, some part
of this is imagined and not real. Otherwise it's the
scary thing that people always tell us about that a
lot of people don't believe exists in the world existing. Again,
one last thing, just quickly, as far as a quick
five go a list of the qualities that you'd never
want to have in a potential mate. We're put up
(17:01):
online on Reddit, and the number one of what people
do not want someone else in their life to be,
you know, a kind of core part of the personality
that you wouldn't want a date or be in a
relationship with is people who talk about their own problems
too much, or are perpetually miserable. People who essentially think
they're a victim all the time in every situation, which
(17:23):
feels like if you follow social media a lot of people,
so good luck to you out there, but that's number
one and what you don't want. Craig Collins filling in
on the Dana Show. This is the Dana Show. My
name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you.
A bunch of stuff out there to cover. Let's play
this audio first. This is CNN admitting that prices have
(17:44):
gone down for the first time in a long time.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Here, I'll let them tell you.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Consumer price is month over month, so this was actually
a drop of point one percent negative point one percent.
That's the first time we've seen that since COVID. Year
over year, the annual inflation rate was at two point
four two percent. This was also better than expected and
a six month low, moving in the right direction. As
far as why this happened, there's a few drivers.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
One President Trump is probably what they should say that
would be valuable at least as an answer to this,
and most Americans would probably credit him for this, not
because of all the discussions about tariffs or what's happening
with the stock market recently, even though that might wind
up being a net win for America in the coming months,
coming days, even yesterday seem pretty good for a lot
(18:33):
of people.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
But there's other reasons that we might think this. What
is cnnsa thing.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
That really played a role here, as you can see
the trend here at the inflation rate dipping a little bit.
One of the drivers was energy. The fact that gasoline
prices crazy move up like they usually do in the
month of March.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
That really helped the inflictions.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
You know what's crazy about that is anyone who was
yelling and screaming that Biden's war on energy and Biden
when he was campaigning to be president saying that he
would go after oil and gas companies.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Being a horrible thing for our economy.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
And then I love my favorite other part of this,
before I move on to something else, is all the
times that media tells us that presidents have nothing to
do with the cost of things, that they can't impact
the cost of gas or any of that stuff. The
way that we as stupid, silly Americans think that the
guy in charge of our country can. And they'll probably
(19:24):
say that again as prices start to go down, to
discredit Trump for anything happening. But we actually see it
occur in society. We see the plan on one side
going after this specific industry being horrible for us, and
the plan on the other side not going after that
industry but trying to enhance it being great for us.
This is a very obvious moment where presidential policy specifically
(19:49):
actually has a tremendous impact on our society and our economy,
and yet they'll deny that tooth and nail forever.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I do like this too, By the way, this is
a quick thing.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Scott Jennings CNN probably one of the only people on
CNN that conservatives enjoy to listen to, mostly because he's
in there fighting the good fight. He's sitting being attacked
by three or four people at a time most days
on television. But this back and forth went viral, and
you'll be able to tell why very quickly.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
You want to engage in personal insults, you lack and
the legitimate point you make up personal impult personal insults.
The point I am making is in this new world order,
we are looking at countries, whether or not they're an
adversary or ally, it is being determined on what kind
of deal we can get, and we cannot govern, we
cannot legislate that way. We are increasingly isolated on the
(20:38):
world stage.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I love both of those, not the you do this
not me stuff at the beginning, but the why that
he asks, when we can't govern based on getting better
deals as far as trade goes with both allies and
enemies or just anyone in the world, why.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Can't we do that again? Is the question?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Because it's going to be bad for us, is what
they'll tell you. You know, the amount of people that
were terrified that the whole tariff war was going to
impact us immediately was only because of media. I'm not
saying that a trade war wouldn't inevitably raise prices somewhat
for some amount of time, although if good trade deals
are made and businesses here in the United States make
(21:19):
more money, either you know, sending more product out that
we create here in the United States or just selling
it here to our own country, whatever it might be. Yeah,
the economy might get better and things might actually improve
for all of us, but there might be pain in
the beginning. But I love the fact that right after
the announcement, before they even take place, you have people
walking around, like, have you seen the prices of stuff?
(21:42):
And the prices had not changed yet. In fact, actually
prices went down a little bit according to the data
I just played from CNN. But it's that belief that
things are as they're represented to you in media as
opposed to the reality of what you're actually seeing.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It always shocks me.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
I wonder if it's just too the amount of people
in your life who will walk around and tell you
what's going on, not based on seeing it, not based
on experiencing it, but being told that it's there and
then not going and looking, Because that should be the
first step for all of us. And I don't care
what side of the political isle it's on the right
or the left. If you're told something's happening before you
(22:22):
go tell all your friends that this terrible thing is happening,
you should make sure that it actually is. And more importantly,
I feel like I'm now jumping up on a soapbox
and preaching.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
But more importantly, is it happening to you? Whatever that
might be.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
When you yell and scream about the things in society
that you think are unfair and terrible, do you have
any sort of experience that backs up that claim or
do you just believe it because someone else told you
it's true, no matter who they are, no matter what
reasons they had for saying it. I find a lot
of that to be amusing too. Thanks for tuning into

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
That's right, it's time for Florida Man. My name is
Craig Collins filling in for Dana. This is the Dana
Show dlash Radio. Great ways to stay connected to her.
A guy at eleven fifteen at night on Monday went
outside in Florida and started firing his gun upward toward
the sky, an inherently stupid thing and actually a dangerous
thing to do. He was celebrating the Gators win in
(00:36):
the NCAA National Championship game. So that gets you arrested
in Florida or anywhere else. Police said that not only
was he in trouble, but no one else should do this.
You shouldn't go outside to celebrate anything by just indiscriminately
firing a weapon up in the air. Again, because what
goes up must come down, and oftentimes we see horrific
(00:56):
stories that wind up being an aspect of this. This
guy just arrested for being an idiot. No one actually hurt,
so that's good. But Florida Man doing Florida Man's stuff.
This story is insane. I feel like there's so many
pieces to this. I should do it, you know, slowly.
A cops arrested Daniel, forty nine years old. He was
(01:17):
publicly intoxicated, which is the least of his issues as
far as the virality of this story. He was at
an Applebee's inside the parking lot lot in Clearwater, Florida.
And then here's the rough part, or the extra rough
part of his story. The drunk man was wearing a
pink thong, fake breasts and a pink wig. Reasons undetermined
(01:39):
as to why he was doing that, but the dude
was drunk and yelling at people inside an Applebee's parking lot.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I can't get over this one.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I genuinely will ask you and try to fathom in
your brain for a second what you do if you're
in Florida, in Clearwater and you're for some reason choosing
to dine in an Applebee's on that evening. No offense
as an Italian to a very large chain out there,
but not exactly at the top of my list for
places i'd go. Unless they're an advertiser. Then they're my
favorite thing I've ever had in my life. I love
(02:10):
the never ending bread sticks. I will be bought very
easily by advertisers. But nonetheless you're pulling in. Maybe you're
even on vacation in Florida and you see Daniel forty
nine years old, rocking a pink thong and nothing else,
fake boobs and then the pink wig, and you think
to yourself, Ah, I'm going to a different location. I'm
(02:32):
not going to stay here. He is also gone viral
in his orange jail outfit, which after he was arrested,
they made him put on instead of the other thing.
He's charged with disorderly intoxication. I booked on a few
other issues in county jail. It's a misdemeanor charge is
likely to go his way and probably something that he'll
never live down. I was going to say with his friends,
(02:55):
but I'm not sure if Daniel has any and I'm
not trying to be mean. I'm just guessing that that
might not be the case. People might not hang with
Daniel on the regular. But this is the kind of
thing that I can't imagine if he was blindly intoxicated
so he doesn't remember this, and if this isn't the
way he normally behaves, how you even understand this story
when you sober up, I was doing what again? But
(03:17):
I imagine this is a typical night out for mister Daniel,
at least I'm assuming so. But a ridiculous story, one
of my favorite and the most ridiculous Florida stories I've
seen in a while.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And then finally I have a piece of audio I
want to play.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
This is Channel eight NBC News, who are actually always
on your side in Florida in Tallahassee, talking about something
that happened in Tampa. I don't care about penguins visiting
a state house. I don't need to break bad against
it or you know, be overly positive about it. What
I am amused by is how tongue in cheek you
(03:52):
have to be is local news or local news anchors
to say things like this into a camera and not
hate your job.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But here we go on your side the animals.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
When I'm at work is my number one priority.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's Paul hands on deck, and that's our entire facility.
That's a penguin.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
There was an overwhelming amount of cuteness at the state
Capitol today.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Penguins from right here in Tampa took a trip up
to Tallahassee to talk politics with lawmakers.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Every one.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I'm Josh Benson.
Speaker 7 (04:20):
Hey, Josh RELEI, thank you for jeffing us the Florida
Aquarium alongside their tuxedo to the boers are asking for
critical funding.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I hate these stupid little news puns that happen all
the time with these newscasts, the overwhelming amount of cuteness
and the tuxedo wearing representatives that went in front of
the Capitol building for the penguins. These are the things
that again would make me hate to be, say a
news anchor at a local news station. But you're just
reading it. You didn't write it, and darn it. The
(04:47):
paycheck is good, and that's fine. I'll go ahead and
read anything. But that would make me cringe and I
imagine made a lot of other people.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Gold prices have surged over forty percent since January twenty
twenty four, consistently reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs Research,
The upward trend is expected to persist due to strong
demand from central banks. It's stuff like this that's made
me take action and why I've bought precious medals like
gold and silver. I partnered with a great company that
makes it super easy to buy, easy, transparent and simple.
(05:17):
And that company is gold Co. They're a huge supporter
of this show and they're the best at what they do.
And right now you can get a free twenty twenty
five gold and Silver kit jam packed with critical information
about buying precious medals. It was a huge help, not
just for me, but to all of you. If you
do this and for my audience, you could also qualify
for up to a ten percent instant match in bonus silver.
(05:38):
It's a really great deal, so don't miss out. Visit

Speaker 2 (05:50):
This is the Dana Show.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about d
lash or a Dana Lash Radio on x on Twitter
to stay connected with all things Dana, a bunch of
other ways to stay connected with her.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Two.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I'm not sure how many people remember this name. I
remember it because she's insane. But there was the Disinformation Zar,
the Disinformation Governance Board head that the Biden Harris administration
picked back in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Her name Nina Jankowitz.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
She wound up not having a job because as soon
as the American people heard about literally George Orwell nineteen
eighty four stuff, big brother stuff, we were all nonplus
about it. A lot of us were not happy with it.
So now she's a writer. I think Bulwark and some
other places have published some of her craziness. She also,
(06:42):
i think, testified recently in front of the House. All
of this is now her new claim being that we conservatives, Republicans,
the horrible side of the aisle that she hates, lie
about the fact that Democrats want to censor us. Now
again to remind you, this was the person that was
(07:03):
going to be the head of the disinformation board of
the government, the Ministry of Truth more or less, that
would have told us what was a lie and what
was not a lie, including that Biden was mentally great.
He was doing an incredible job. He was so sharp
behind the scenes, as the American people eventually found out,
and a lot of us knew all along that his
(07:23):
brain was broken profoundly. But one other thing to remind you,
and I'm sorry to do this, I think that this
will not be fun for a lot of people to hear,
but to write you who exactly Nina Jankowitz is and
all the things she claims about the lies of the right.
She recently created a version of a Mary Poppins song
about how horrible Republicans are and their lie about lying
(07:47):
and put it up on social media. So again I apologize,
but I can't help but play on this.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Hovering is really quite for relicious, a suenax. It takes off,
makes them sound for coaching Congress. So this information's origins
are slightly less atrocious. It's how you had a little
lighted lie, Oh god, light lie.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It's how you had a little line.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
When Rudy Giuliani said I in t on Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, when Rudy Juliani talked
about a bunch of things that wound up being true.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I think is one of the problems this here. Let's
play another one TikTok.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Influence to say COVID can't cause pain the longer in
the sinful, when we really should take note a.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Lot of the examples she even uses are just wrong.
But this is a failed theater kid that's desperate for attention,
that really really wants you to know that she's not
the one who's trying to keep the truth from you.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And she claims that social media.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'm again sorry to anyone that I just played that
on you for I couldn't help it. It's it's that
bad that you might actually be amused by it. But anyway,
she's someone who wanted to censor all kinds of things,
social media, whatever, and do it through the government, and
do it with the guise of protecting you. And she's
claiming that Republicans are too afraid of this narrative that's
(09:03):
not real, even though after Elon Musk bought Twitter, he
helped prove to us with the Twitter files that it
absolutely does happen. And even Mark Zuckerberg, now a fan
of Donald Trump, has admitted that Facebook did way too
much censoring at the behest of the government. How do
you just go out there and say that these definitively
proven true things are not true?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And I think there's only one.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Way you do that. Well, let's go with two ways
that you do that. The first one is you're so
blind to your own arrogance that you don't even check
to make sure that what you're saying is accurate. This
is a nicer assumption I make, and I doubt many
people actually fall in this bucket, but I assume there
are some that are so arrogant in their opinion that
they don't even pay attention to when people actually confirm
(09:48):
the opposite of their point as true. And then the
other one is you just assume everyone else is dumb
enough to not do that that you might know you're lying.
And this, I think is something that happens a lot
from the government just treat us like we're morons and
assume that we are, and we have to prove to
them or not. And a vast majority of us hopefully
do that. I think at least some of us definitely
(10:10):
do that, and just looking to see what the truth
actually is. But how ridiculous that she's out there writing,
you know, op eds and appearing in front of Congress
and saying all kinds of things about how the disinformation
obsession of the right is actually you know, a horrible lie,
convincing you to be more passionate emotionally about one side
(10:30):
than the other, even though Democrats often play the emotion
card all the time. And I will say one last
thing about this, and then I'll move on to something else.
What I think is really hilarious and I probably can't
get over in any sense of the word or in
any sense of this idea. Is why it would matter
if you were such a passionate proponent of the First
(10:51):
Amendment or free speech or the lack of censorship in
our society that you went too far with that. You're like, yeah,
we really need to make sure not to censor anything.
Isn't that still inherently a good thing? Isn't still having
the freedom and ability to voice our opinion no matter
what it is good, even if you were overly passionate
about that idea, compared to the opposite, someone like this
(11:12):
moron saying out loud that we need to shut everybody
up because they're too influential and all the horrible lies
they're telling us.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Again, just assuming that you're a moron, it is our
friends over at Celtech.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
The PR five PR fifty seven chambered in five seven
rotary barrel pistol, and it's the lightest five to seven
on the market. In fact, it's actually forty percent lighter
than the next lightest five seven And that's they achieved
that in two with because of two things. The rotary
barrel design and the unique top loading design so they
(11:46):
replace traditional magazines with stripper clips so you get a
slimmer carry profile and a twenty plus one capacity. It's
engineered for simplicity and reliability, with the quickest and easiest
field strip available. It is actually some thing, ladies, you
can reasonably carry as a five to seven, which has
always been difficult for me. But now with US I can.
It's slummer and lighter, and it's super affordable. The MSRP
(12:09):
is only three ninety nine. You can afford to get it.
It's the first of its kind. Celtech PR fifty seven
rotary barrel pistol chambered in five to seven. Visit Keltech

Speaker 5 (12:25):
Now all of the news you would probably miss.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
That's right, it's time for Quick five on the Dana Show.
My name is Craig Collins filling in d Lash Dana
Lash Radio. Great ways to stay connected to her on
x on Twitter. A guy in Nevada apparently got arrested
because he had seven seven emotional support animals that he
should not have. They were tigers. I have multiple pieces
of audio for different news organizations covering this. Let's do
(12:53):
a local news news channel twelve in Nevada talking about
this story.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Forty's rate of private home to seize the full grown tigers.
Seven tigers taken pretty early this morning. Police tell us
the owner, Carl Mitchell, did not have the necessary permits
to keep those tigers.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Unsurprised that that was true.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Mitchell was also taken into custody accused of resisting arrest.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That's also not surprised that he resisted arrest. This story
is so insane.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Let's do it in a foreign accent and see if
it sounds any better.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Well, and Nevada man has been arrested after police seized
seven tigers from his property, which he claimed were his
emotional support animals.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
This story is nuts. It's crazy, and I love the fact.
My favorite part about this too, is that he went
emotional support animal. When he was told that he couldn't
have seven tigers in his house, He's like, no, no, it's fine.
They're all here for emotional support. You should just let
me have them. It would be great if I could
keep these and then he resists the rest, and then
while other things happen. But that's Nevada, not a Florida
(13:55):
man story, but it feels like one for sure. Have
you felt like the world has been windier? That's a
real question that science has chosen to answer, at least
here in the United States. It is the windiest year
on record, or the windiest month, excuse me, on record
in quite some time. Wind you know, I guess has
been through the room a lot of places. Most of
(14:18):
the country in fact, well above average throughout the Midwest
and parts of the south, a little bit above average
on the coasts. But has it been windy? Have there
been a lot of wind gusts? March twenty twenty five,
The answer was yes. I'm surprised that more people aren't,
you know, storming social media and or some television stations
telling us this is some sort of byproduct of global
(14:39):
warming or something else that it isn't. But just has
it been windy for you? Apparently? A science says yep,
if you thought so. Another story out there that I
thought was kind of ridiculous. A Chinese restaurant had to
close after cops discovered that its roast duck option on
its menu is actually just street This is disgusting, but
(15:02):
in China, where they're known to eat a lot of
things that the rest of the world would not consume.
And sometimes we blame stuff like COVID on the things
they eat in wet markets and whatnot, even if that's
not exactly where it actually came from.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Not important. This time, a roasted.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Duck that really looked a whole lot like a pigeon
turned out to actually be a pigeon. That gets you
in a lot of trouble. They are also social media
posts of the cooked product that definitely does not look
like a duck, And I don't even know why I
find this funny. I would definitely not eat in a
whole lot of restaurants throughout China. One last story that
I thought was interesting, and I have a little bit
(15:38):
of audio for this one too. A seventy year old
foster mom in Missouri is accused of potentially not confirmed yet,
but potentially trying to trade a child for a pet monkey.
This is a real story. A prosecutor actually had to
comment about this to a local news station. There's definitely
some scary parts and some seedy parts that potential of this.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
But here's a little bit of that audio.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
We'll have to do some deeper dives into hopefully their
communications to see if that trade was actually for consideration,
if that was for the purposes of human trafficking, and
we don't know that yet, but it is an allegation
that's out there that we need to look in it.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I'm glad they're going to take it seriously as an allegation.
The woman's name is Brenda, who's accused of potentially doing this,
wanting to boost her quote exotic animal collection and in
the process maybe trading away a child as a foster mom,
which is disgusting and horrible. I hope this isn't true,
to be entirely honest with you, because they're saying it's
an alligation and they have to look deeper into it.
(16:38):
I hope the end result is that somehow, some part
of this is imagined and not real. Otherwise it's the
scary thing that people always tell us about that a
lot of people don't believe exists in the world existing. Again,
one last thing, just quickly, as far as a quick
five go a list of the qualities that you'd never
want to have in a potential mate. We're put up
(17:01):
online on Reddit, and the number one of what people
do not want someone else in their life to be,
you know, a kind of core part of the personality
that you wouldn't want a date or be in a
relationship with is people who talk about their own problems
too much, or are perpetually miserable. People who essentially think
they're a victim all the time in every situation, which
(17:23):
feels like if you follow social media a lot of people,
so good luck to you out there, but that's number
one and what you don't want. Craig Collins filling in
on the Dana Show. This is the Dana Show. My
name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you.
A bunch of stuff out there to cover. Let's play
this audio first. This is CNN admitting that prices have
(17:44):
gone down for the first time in a long time.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Here, I'll let them tell you.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Consumer price is month over month, so this was actually
a drop of point one percent negative point one percent.
That's the first time we've seen that since COVID. Year
over year, the annual inflation rate was at two point
four two percent. This was also better than expected and
a six month low, moving in the right direction. As
far as why this happened, there's a few drivers.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
One President Trump is probably what they should say that
would be valuable at least as an answer to this,
and most Americans would probably credit him for this, not
because of all the discussions about tariffs or what's happening
with the stock market recently, even though that might wind
up being a net win for America in the coming months,
coming days, even yesterday seem pretty good for a lot
(18:33):
of people.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
But there's other reasons that we might think this. What
is cnnsa thing.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
That really played a role here, as you can see
the trend here at the inflation rate dipping a little bit.
One of the drivers was energy. The fact that gasoline
prices crazy move up like they usually do in the
month of March.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
That really helped the inflictions.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
You know what's crazy about that is anyone who was
yelling and screaming that Biden's war on energy and Biden
when he was campaigning to be president saying that he
would go after oil and gas companies.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Being a horrible thing for our economy.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
And then I love my favorite other part of this,
before I move on to something else, is all the
times that media tells us that presidents have nothing to
do with the cost of things, that they can't impact
the cost of gas or any of that stuff. The
way that we as stupid, silly Americans think that the
guy in charge of our country can. And they'll probably
(19:24):
say that again as prices start to go down, to
discredit Trump for anything happening. But we actually see it
occur in society. We see the plan on one side
going after this specific industry being horrible for us, and
the plan on the other side not going after that
industry but trying to enhance it being great for us.
This is a very obvious moment where presidential policy specifically
(19:49):
actually has a tremendous impact on our society and our economy,
and yet they'll deny that tooth and nail forever.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I do like this too, By the way, this is
a quick thing.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Scott Jennings CNN probably one of the only people on
CNN that conservatives enjoy to listen to, mostly because he's
in there fighting the good fight. He's sitting being attacked
by three or four people at a time most days
on television. But this back and forth went viral, and
you'll be able to tell why very quickly.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
You want to engage in personal insults, you lack and
the legitimate point you make up personal impult personal insults.
The point I am making is in this new world order,
we are looking at countries, whether or not they're an
adversary or ally, it is being determined on what kind
of deal we can get, and we cannot govern, we
cannot legislate that way. We are increasingly isolated on the
(20:38):
world stage.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I love both of those, not the you do this
not me stuff at the beginning, but the why that
he asks, when we can't govern based on getting better
deals as far as trade goes with both allies and
enemies or just anyone in the world, why.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Can't we do that again? Is the question?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Because it's going to be bad for us, is what
they'll tell you. You know, the amount of people that
were terrified that the whole tariff war was going to
impact us immediately was only because of media. I'm not
saying that a trade war wouldn't inevitably raise prices somewhat
for some amount of time, although if good trade deals
are made and businesses here in the United States make
(21:19):
more money, either you know, sending more product out that
we create here in the United States or just selling
it here to our own country, whatever it might be. Yeah,
the economy might get better and things might actually improve
for all of us, but there might be pain in
the beginning. But I love the fact that right after
the announcement, before they even take place, you have people
walking around, like, have you seen the prices of stuff?
(21:42):
And the prices had not changed yet. In fact, actually
prices went down a little bit according to the data
I just played from CNN. But it's that belief that
things are as they're represented to you in media as
opposed to the reality of what you're actually seeing.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It always shocks me.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
I wonder if it's just too the amount of people
in your life who will walk around and tell you
what's going on, not based on seeing it, not based
on experiencing it, but being told that it's there and
then not going and looking, Because that should be the
first step for all of us. And I don't care
what side of the political isle it's on the right
or the left. If you're told something's happening before you
(22:22):
go tell all your friends that this terrible thing is happening,
you should make sure that it actually is. And more importantly,
I feel like I'm now jumping up on a soapbox
and preaching.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
But more importantly, is it happening to you? Whatever that
might be.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
When you yell and scream about the things in society
that you think are unfair and terrible, do you have
any sort of experience that backs up that claim or
do you just believe it because someone else told you
it's true, no matter who they are, no matter what
reasons they had for saying it. I find a lot
of that to be amusing too. Thanks for tuning into
