Speaker 1 (00:00):
That's excellent. This is the Danish show.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in a d Lash
Dana Lash radio on x on Twitter to stay connected
to her all things necessary there. Let's start with one
of the two stories that media is obsessing about right now,
although not for the right reasons. This story easily deserves
to be in the news, but not the way they
talk about it. This is the FSU shooting that happened yesterday.

(00:25):
The suspect in that shooting has been identified. I'm not
going to give the person's name out on the radio.
I don't like to do that because I don't like
to at all help to bring anyone notoriety that has
done something awful. But here's the two predictable narratives that
emerged from this. The individual is a registered Republican and

(00:47):
so he's being accused of being a white supremacist and
a far right magat supporter individual, whether that's true or not,
which will come out in a court room somewhere when
all that proofact comes to the surface. It doesn't mean
that anyone else who also voted for Donald Trump is,
you know, moments away from being the next shooter in

(01:10):
some sort of horrific shooting, although that's the way that
media likes to portray that part of the conversation. And
then there's also this other aspect of the conversation that
I can't get over, and it's the very simplistic one,
it's the very political one that guns are somehow the problem,
not the individuals who commit crimes, and you know the
mental health or mental deranged, you know, evil that exists

(01:32):
in certain people's hearts that allows them to do things
like this, whether you take two lives or twenty. There's
something about people who are willing to indiscriminately fire weapons
in public or use other means of harming people that
we deserve to talk about that we don't necessarily need
to talk about whether or not preventing someone from owning

(01:52):
a gun was in fact the problem. And by the way,
before even play audio of President Trump responding to a
question about that, just for clarity's sake, the media knows
the details of this story. They know that the weapon
used was a handgun. They know that the twenty year
old who had access to that handgun had access to
it because a family member was a police officer, and

(02:14):
it was a service weapon. All things that would never
be legislated away. No amount of discussion about you know,
any sort of gun control ever involves handguns, ever involved shotguns,
which was another weapon found at the scene, but not
used to take the lives of the two people that died.
And also not something where you'd ever take weapons away

(02:35):
from people who protect our community, protect our society, like
the police who rushed toward danger to protect that school
after a shooter opened fire on people. None of those
things would change. Media knows this. They don't care about
fixing problems. They care about specific narratives and propping them
up whenever they can. But here is some audio of

(02:57):
President Trump being asked a question about gun control legislation,
and without even all the details I just gave you,
saying that was going to be a non starter.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
There are now to decease following that shooting at Florida State.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
University going in amid that, is there any changes that
you want to see to gun legislation, anything you see
broken with.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
Gun laws and art, Well, I'm going to have to look.
I'm a big advocate of the Second Amendment. I have
been from the beginning. I protected it, and these things
are terrible, but the gun doesn't do the shooting. The
people do. It's you know, a phrase that's used probably
too often. I will tell you that it's a shame.

(03:36):
I'm just hearing about it now. I just hear about it.
I know the area very well, I know the school
very well, know everything about It's Florida. And we'll have
more to say about it later, of course you want to.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Say, there will be more to say about it.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
Only in terms of what happened. As far as legislation
is concerned, this has been going on for a long time.
I have an obligation to protect the Second Amendment, in
on the Second Amendment, among many other things, and I
will always protect the Second Amendment.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
So again, media's immediate response to this is, let's create
a moment where President Trump rejects gun control legislation so
we can then blame him for a shooting that wouldn't
be prevented by gun control legislation. And we're not going
to blame, at least not consistently blame the person who

(04:25):
took other people's lives. It's insanity. This is insanity, and
we have so many versions of the same broken narrative
existing in our society. I'll give you two more examples
of things where media is obsessed with a simple narrative
in which they take out a bunch of information so
that you believe whatever they want you to believe, if
you don't do any amount of additional checking yourself and

(04:48):
find out, wait a minute, this is probably the reason
why this is happening, or this wouldn't work, et cetera,
et cetera. You have the story of the guy in
El Salvador who was a move from our country. He
did come in illegally. Two different judges believe that he
is a member of MS thirteen, the gang. They believe
that years ago, they believed it. More recently, his wife

(05:11):
accused him of beating her.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
That is true.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
She asked for restraining order against him in court in
twenty twenty two. All these things are true about him,
but because in twenty nineteen a judge said that he
was likely to be killed by a rival gang of
MS thirteen if he was returned to El Salvador, he
was allowed to stay in our country, and Tom Holman
says that some things have changed since that makes him

(05:35):
feel as though that order to stay not a grant
of asylum, but something else is no longer relevant. But
because of that, media is now obsessed with a wrongfully
deported man who, it seems, by a whole lot of
information and different receipts that have been provided by the
Trump administration now is very very likely not the kind

(05:55):
of person that makes our society better, but in facts
makes it much worse. Here is Scott Jennings on CNN
responding to a bunch of the other people in the panel,
talking about how horrible it is that this person was
deported and how they need to be brought back immediately, etc.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Etc.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
And just confused by the need of this narrative and
the forgiveness of all the things that seem to make,
you know, kill Abrego Garcia, a guy that most Americans
would be happy is no longer in our country. Whether
he should have been sent out or not, it seems
like it's a good thing for most of us that
he's not currently here. If all these things he is

(06:32):
alleged to have done wind up being true again, two
judges in courtrooms decided it was true. So it's not
even like it's just stuff still being debated in a
courtroom somewhere. He's been found guilty or at least found
likely to be tied to these things. Here we go
with Scott jennings.

Speaker 6 (06:48):
Interest tonight, and I think by the Party of Women
is really covering itself in glory tonight. I mean, I
don't understand why the American Left falls in love with
the worst people. You've got a gangbanging, human trafficking, wife
beating illegal alien and a United States Senator and a
ludicrous display of energy is in El Salvador having Mataz
and Yanzi.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I do not get. I do not understand why the
left takes.

Speaker 7 (07:13):
I think, look, I'm not allegedly.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
States.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
I love that Scott Jennings pretends the allegedly was about
the Democrat and the US Senator and not about the
other individual. Because all of the things he said that
he's a human trafficking, gangbanging, wife beating a legal alien,
for the most part, are not being debated. The only
one that may be debated is the human trafficking mentioned.
He was pulled over and then cited by cops for

(07:43):
being someone that was that was likely to be trafficking
two other people in the car with him, but he
was allowed to go, and so that scenario never actually
had an end resolution where he's found guilty or innocent
of a crime, but it was a suspicion that was
noted at the time, and more information would have to
come out for us to know for sure what was
going on there. Whether that investigation led to the inevitable

(08:03):
removal of this person from our country is not something
we know either. But I think that's interesting because the
ties to MS thirteen are fairly well established, the ties
to being someone who's.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Here illegally are easily well established.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
And then the accusations by his wife that he beat
her enough times and she said many times that she
needed to have a protective order against him, is also
something that's easily well documented. And so if certain media
desired to know this information, and I assume a whole
lot of them do know it and simply ignore it

(08:38):
to enhance the narrative anyway, But you could very easily
find it or very easily encourage people to go look
for it. But it doesn't help you, and it doesn't
help go after the Trump administration as the only bad
guy you want to attack, regardless of how much of
an actual bad guy they are, all right. One last
story that matters in the same world of we need

(08:59):
to be angry, and we need to only be angry
at certain people and certain individuals and not everyone. Is
this horrific press conference that happened yesterday Carmelo Anthony, the
young man who is accused of stabbing to death Austin
Metcalf at a high school track meet, and the details
of this story if you need more of them, for

(09:20):
what I understand, one high school track team was setting
up a tent in which their team is supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Austin Metcalf is on that team.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
As they're setting up a tent, Carmelo Anthony shows up
wearing the jacket of the opposing team that's going to
be part of, you know, a track meet in high
school and saying he's there, and them saying you got
to not be here, and him saying he didn't care
about that, and then at some point Austin Metcalf saying
to him that if he's not going to leave, he's
going to force him to leave, and Carmelo Anthony saying

(09:50):
to him if you touch me, I you know, will
harm you. I'm paraphrasing that's not exactly how he said it,
but essentially, keep your hands off me or something bad
is going to happen to you, to which Carmelo Anthony
then decided to stab and kill him, stab him in
the heart. Most times in my life that I can
think back on any amount of you know, high school

(10:12):
interaction where guys are starting to be tough with each other,
at no point had anyone ever thought that the end
result of that would be someone's death, and then that
would at any way, shape or form, be acceptable. I
say this not because I think I need to, but
because it's ridiculous to be here. But anyway, at a
press conference yesterday, one of the people defending Carmelo Anthony

(10:35):
said it was absolutely inappropriate that Austin Metcalf's father showed
up to the press conference. He didn't create a scene,
he didn't harm anyone. He willingly left when he was
asked to leave again. The victim's father, who actually in media,
has said to forgive the person who killed his son
because his faith implores him to do it, which is

(10:57):
something that people were critical of to a degree. And
I understand a little bit of why, but your faith
would ask you to do something that incredibly hard to do,
not that they would then get away with it. He
still wants him to be punished in a court of law.
But Jeff Metcalf has said that he's forgiven Carmelo Anthony
for killing his son again because of his faith. And

(11:18):
it's Good Friday today, a very big religious holiday going
to be happening over the weekend. I can't fathom how
any of this could end with this version of audio
out in the world. But this is what the people
that were calling the press conference to support Carmelo Anthony
said about Jeff showing up at this press conference.

Speaker 8 (11:35):
This is disgusting and all I'm going to say so
it don't be asked later as that was disrespectful and
just shows you all.

Speaker 7 (11:49):
The character.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Who is not invited.

Speaker 8 (11:55):
He knows that is inappropriate to be near this family,
but he did it. And so say to people, actions
speak louder than work.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Actions absolutely speak louder than words. And killing someone because
they told you that you need to leave an area
is the kind of action that puts you in jail
for a very long time, taking someone's life when you
were not in any way, shape or form in a
life or death situation of your own. The self defense
that they're going to argue in court is going to
be very challenging. I'm saying that as nicely as I can,

(12:28):
because the court case is not determined yet.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
For them to prove is accurate at all, it's insane.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
This is insane, and I can't believe that the way
that a public press conference goes, where a whole lot
of people who weren't invited showed up, is blaming that
father for being there to hear whatever they're going to
say about the young man who killed his son.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
He just wants to hear it.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
He didn't make a scene, he didn't attack anyone, He
didn't even talk to anybody, and they kicked him out
and they told him it was inappropriate. The need to
vilify certain people and follow so cert narratives all time
high in our society. Disgustingly so quick break a lot more.

And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
That's right time for quick five. This is the Dana Show.
My name is Craig Collins filling in. Four men who
dubbed themselves the Cutthroat Cowboys were found recently by authorities
after they went through a Walmart on horseback. All four
people were riding horses in a Louisiana Walmart and police
were on the hunt for them after that because they

(14:35):
posted a forty second viral video of themselves committing the crime,
which is both the dumbest and best part of the
society we live in now that idiot criminals post themselves
doing idiot crimes online to make the cops finding of
them much easier. But the guys claimed that the horses
were their emotional support animals, which is absolutely terrible and

(14:56):
completely idiotic at all. Four of these guys were arrested
and found hopefully will be found guilty of a certain
crimes involving disrupting the peace, etc.

Speaker 10 (15:07):
Etc.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Because they're idiots who wanted to go viral on the
internet by riding horses inside of Walmart. I don't know
how to say that with any level of anything other
than just shocked at the stupidity of it. Other stories
out there that I thought were interesting, this is a
good news One a two year old had wandered a
few miles away from their home in Arizona. When the
ranch dog went to go fetch the child, The two

(15:30):
year old then followed the dog back to safety, to
the house where the family that was going crazy and
scared looking for the toddler was thrilled to see him arrive.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
A sixteen hour search.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
A ranswer approximately seven miles away reported that the young
child I walked into his property. Upon arrival, deputies confirmed
it was indeed the missing boy, but because the dog
went to go fetch the kid, the kid wound up out.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Of harm's way.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
That is awesome as far as the dog goes, not
exactly so awesome as far as the craziness of the
kid getting to wander off for several hours. Not sure
the parents will be able to answer questions well as
to how that occurs.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
It might be innocent, who knows, But at least the
dog was there to protect people. Other stories out there
that I thought was interesting. Apparently, tax attorneys are saying
the IRS has become a ghost town or a zombie
agency after certain staff cuts have made it very hard
to audit anyone or do anything there. Most Americans do
not care. Most Americans are not concerned about whether or

(16:31):
not the IRS is in fact and active and bustling
with energy agency right now, days after taxes were due,
or if it's a zombie plan. I'm actually totally fine
with the secondary one, as I imagine most people are.
But some tax attorneys are saying this in sort of
a negative way as some sort of shot at President
Trump again something that most Americans do not care about.

(16:53):
Another thing I thought was interesting that's out there in
the news. A forty something year old guy said that
he recently discovered a lego brick that had been stuck
in his ear for twenty years. The guy was in
his mid twenties when his children played with legos.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
I'm sure he stepped on a whole bunch of them
at some point.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
One of them made its way into his ear lobe,
and he didn't know about it. I don't know if
that's like, you're passed out on the couch and the
kids trying to put legos in your face and puts
one in your ear, But twenty years later his ear
drum erupts. That's amazing it took that long. I guess
it's one of the other signs of aging. You go
into your forties and legos stashed inside your ears might
eventually cause you harm. Sounds terrible, But anyway, his ear

(17:35):
erupts and when they look to figure out what happened,
it was a lego that.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Had been lodged in there for a very long time.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
I wonder what even conversation you have with somebody about
that when the kid who's now an adult has to
tell you that, yeah, that was me, if I even
remember doing it, I did it when you were asleep
and caused your harm twenty years later. All right, well,
take a break, A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling
in on a holiday on the Danish show.

Speaker 9 (17:58):
Gold prices have served 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,

(18:22):
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 metals. 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.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. D Lash Dana
Lash Radio on x on Twitter to stay connected to her, YouTube, Rumble,
Facebook Everything, Direct TV Channel three forty seven, the first
TV Dana Very very famous, very popular, very successful. You
can find her a lot of places. All right, let's
do this. President Trump and his administration are going to

(19:24):
be challenging birthright citizenship here in the United States. The
Supreme Court will hear that challenge soon. Of course, most
media outlets will tell you how it's unloving and terrible
that Trump wants to end birthright citizenship in the US,
mostly because of the amount of people who want to
cross our border illegally to have a child here that
then gets referred to as an anchor baby. Here's the thing,

(19:47):
and this does matter. A whole lot of places do
not have birthright citizenship. Most if not all, of Europe
does not have birthright citizenship. They have something else. If
one of the two parents is of the na nationality
in which the child wants to have that said rights
to be of that nation, they have the ability to
become someone who's a naturalized citizen of that country. But

(20:10):
a whole lot of the rest of the world doesn't
actually do this. A lot of places in North America
do or have some version of it, including Mexico and
Canada and the United States, but not exactly the same
form as the US has. A lot of places have
some sort of nuanced version of something. President Trump recently
said the US is the only country in the world

(20:31):
that has true birthright citizenship. Again, not exactly accurate, but
not as wrong as media is going to tell you
it is. But here's what's more important than anything else
about that. Why should this be removed versus why it
should be kept. And I'll do this argument very quickly.
I don't want to take up too much of your
time on this. Why should it be removed? Well, the
best reason for that is that people dangerously choose to

(20:54):
try to travel illegally into our country to have a
baby here, so the baby has rights. That's something that
we're seeing happen a lot. It's not a fake story
that I made up as an argument point. It's a
real thing. And so creating deterrence to prevent people from
risking their lives to travel illegally into our country and
then you know, break the law to try to come
into our country. That seems like a good thing. That

(21:15):
seems like a generically good thing that we should do.
Why should you not get rid of this? According to
the people in our society who say that you absolutely
can't get rid of this is somehow it's unfair, or
it's Unamerican, it's not what this country was founded on
or believes in, etc.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Etc.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Here's the thing, though, if you changed it to be
a version of if one of the two people who
is a parent of this child has citizenship, then the
child can gain citizenship like it exists a lot of
the other places in the world that are you know,
well developed countries. I don't know how it's any less
loving or any less valuable than whatever else we're doing

(21:52):
in the world. And in fact, I think you could
make the argument that because it's preventing people from trying to,
you know, a work round, found any sort of laws
or rules to have a kid just on our soil,
it actually makes it quite a bit better for society
as a whole.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
But darn it, that's the argument we're going to have.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
You're going to be told how this is awful and
terrible and Trump's an evil person and no one else
does this, even though a whole lot of places do this,
a lot of places that also don't allow people to
just cross the border illegally, stay in their country and
then fight for rights to be here forever, which is
something we also do, or at least our politicians argue about,
which is insane and crazy. But I love the bleeding

(22:31):
heart narrative of all of this. That usually is the
best argument that people can make. I'm married to someone
who was born in another country, who went through the
correct process to become a US citizen here and is
very proud of her US citizenship because of you know, well,
how much money and time it costs us, and also
the fact that she wanted it. And so I think

(22:52):
there's something interesting about being directly connected to how the
process can work successfully and how more people could go
through a successful version of the process, a legal version,
have rights at the end of all of it, and
how much better that would be than just trying to
illegally get into our country to have a kid here,
which seems bad, That seems like the kind of thing
that we should want less of. And darn it, we're

(23:12):
going to somehow argue about this, but that will be happening.
Trump will be bringing that to the Supreme Court, and
I'm sure if they side with him, the narrative will
also be that they're horribly conservative and the Supreme Court
needs to be changed, even though recently we've seen some
decisions and also some of those conservative justices land on
the same side as democratic justices on certain issues. That

(23:34):
made the Trump administration Matt all right. Other things out
there that I think are very interesting. There's been a
lot of job cuts, sweeping cuts by the Trump administration. Certainly,
there's a lot of people that I think are happy
about the amount of savings. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
on Thursday move forward with sweeping layoffs at that agency

(23:57):
as the Trump administration looks to remake the consumer and
Enforcement Agency. A source familiar with the process told a
couple different outlets that more than fifteen hundred workers at
the CFPB will receive reduction in force notices the layoffs
or of course, across the CFPB's core functions, including supervision
of financial institutions and its enforcement arm You know what's

(24:21):
crazy about this and these stories and how they bounce
around as this is happening, and as this is probably
becoming a focal point of discussion. There's a bunch of
other stories out there of people that are doing horrible
things behind closed doors within our government bureau bureaucracy, or
you know, in some other way that barely get any

(24:42):
mention comparatively to stories of people getting laid off who
may or may not be benefiting us at all and
may just be making our government cost way more than
it should.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
I'll give you one example. I thought this was pretty interesting.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
A former FAA contractor has pled guilty to illegally acting
as an agent for the Iranian government. This is a
real story, and you might not see it a lot
of places. Justice dot gov if you'd like to look
it up. This individual who was placed here by the
Iranian government, who worked with them closely to give whatever
information he had access to to them to you know,

(25:16):
cover up different meetings he was having with them. I
was also capable of getting a job within the FAA
in order to do even more of spying and you know,
informing of a different country, and also spying on our
solar energy programs, which is an odd thing to choose
to spy on. But nonetheless, this story came out, I
think on the sixteenth and got like blip radar version

(25:40):
of coverage most places, because someone within the bureaucratic system
was doing exactly the kind of things that a whole
bunch of people believe a whole lot of other people
are doing, whether you're Bob Menendez with gold bars or
anyone else, and so laying off a bunch of people
throughout a whole you know, litany of a government organization

(26:00):
and then begging, I don't know if that's the right word,
or at least trying to recreate those systems by hiring
you know, better and more streamlined individuals to do the
job correctly and not overspend. I don't know how that's
not widely accepted by most Americans.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Is incredibly good.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
And then how stories like this aren't brought up when
people say, well, they just laid off a whole bunch
of people over here, and one of the reasons why
they did it is they believe that this is, you know,
fraudulent excess spending, wasteful government decision making, whatever it might be.
And we actually have receipts and proof that you can
bring to the table consistently of people that are exactly
the types of deep state, you know, crap individuals that

(26:40):
you expect to exist. We have several different ways to
prove that narrative is true. And yet darn it, it
doesn't matter. They're going to tell us how bad and
awful we are, because that's what they have to do,
all right. One last story that I want to highlight
just quickly that I thought was interesting. Luigi Mangione, for
some reason, another darling of the left, which is the

(27:01):
weirdest thing ever. He is a murderer, someone who is
going to be charged with federal charges that allow the
death penalty to be something that they seek as a
punishment for his crime. But Luigi Mangioni is all over
the news because people are up in arms about the
likelihood that he could actually face the death penalty if
convicted of a killing, which I think is you know,

(27:24):
I don't think I'm speaking out of turn something a
whole lot of people expect to happen in that court case,
mostly because of the video and everything else that exists there.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has already signaled her intention to
pursue the death penalty in the case, which Mangioni's lawyers
are actively trying to stop. But again, a punishment for
a crime like this is high profile as it is

(27:45):
with as much weird amount of praise as exists in
our society, I think actually is a good thing. I'm
not someone who often actually argues for the death penalty.
I'm not quite as against it as the people out
there in the world would be. But I'm a person
of faith. I don't mind mentioning that on Good Friday,
and parts of my faith make me believe that it

(28:05):
is better to choose not to, you know, use the
death penalty against someone, even if it's going to be
life in prison simply because of what I believe you
know from a religious standpoint. But nonetheless, as I say that,
and I put that out there, I would think that
of all the examples you need to make to society

(28:26):
of how murdering someone in cold blood is in fact
not a good thing and not something that we should
be praising and celebrating in this country or in the world,
Luigi Mangioni is a textbook case of how you need
something like this to be the the you know, punishment
for the crime to deter anyone else from doing this.
He couldn't be more high profile, he couldn't have more

(28:49):
strange versions of support than you usually don't see in
cases like this. So if I were ever to advocate
for the need of the death penalty and the reason
for the death penalty being an important byproduct of murder,
this would be one of those cases. And so I
just think it's so interesting that so many in media
and so many other places will tell you that it's
horrific that this could possibly be the punishment for this crime,

(29:12):
because again, it's not just the fact that you took
a life in cold blood the way you did it,
but it's also the fact that so many in society
are praising you for it, and I think that you
need to be shown those parts of our society that this,
in fact is not something that our country tolerates, our
world tolerates, and something that you absolutely do get the

(29:32):
full extent of the law thrown at you when you do.
It's just it's incredibly odd to say it that way,
and again to say it, you know, just before religious holiday,
as someone who usually comes from a place of you know,
faith and not wanting to see the death penalty be
the end result of a crime, but to see someone
serve a life in jail without the possibility of parole

(29:54):
for whatever reason. I know that it even can cost
quite a bit more taxpayer dollars, but something about my
faith implores me to say that that's better. And this
feels like an exception to that rule, even to me,
And I doubt many people will say it that way,
but darn it, I just have.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
So there it is.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
On that note, I will go ahead and take a break.
A lot coming up. This is Craig Collins filling in
on the Danish show.

Speaker 9 (30:15):
I always tell people to carry, I will always carry,
I will always encourage people to carry. I get that
some people want to diversify their weapons or ray. I
understand that, especially like when we were just talking about
gun free zones. I have friends who were All I
can say is that they work in the media in
New York, Washington, d C. They are out at night because,

(30:37):
as you know, apparently our government now with this administration,
never sleeps. And even though they went through all the
hoops and jumped through all of that stuff and got
their license to carry, they're barred from carrying at a
number of places. So they went out and they got
what it's called the Berna SD. It's the most popular model.
It shoots chemical irrit and projectiles that deter threats from
up to fifty feet away. And it is a way

(30:59):
for you to still have some means of protection when
you are barred from carrie. I mean, think about it.
You carry knives, you know, you'll carry blade. You can't
have different calibers, you know. I think the saying is
what I use my pistol to get to my rifle.
You see, you have all different kinds of stuff. It's
always good to anticipate varied situations and plan accordingly. And
this is the niche that I feel that Burna fits.

(31:21):
And you can look and go to their website and
see everything that they have to offer. Like I said,
the Burna SD is the most popular model. And when
you go, when you when you go, and you can
look at the different projectiles. That's what I'm thinking of,
the different projectiles, the different accessories, all this kind of stuff.
They have different things up there. And this has five

rounds compared to regular stunt guns would only have one
or two, So you have multiple chances. Visit burna dot

On the go and need a quick news fix with
a fun twist, follow Dana's Absurd Truth podcast for bite
size informative episodes perfect for your busy schedule on Apple
or wherever you get your podcast.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you d Lash Dana
Lash Radio. Great ways to stay connected to her on
x on Twitter. A woman went viral. Actually a dude
who shared a list from a woman went viral. That's
the way I should say it, because he saw a
dating profile for a woman that referenced her checklist. These
are a checklist of demands that absolutely have to be

(32:27):
things that the guy you can check off for him
to go on even one date with her. She shared
it with him when he sent her a private message
asking to see the list. And I have that list
in front of me now. The number one thing on
the list doesn't seem that bad. Love me deeply, and
always put me first. Maybe put you first a little
bit more often than myself would be a little fair,

(32:48):
but always putting you first.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Fine.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Number two financially successful, three hundred thousand dollars plus salary.
Anything less than you, poor jerk cannot date me. That's
number two on the list. Be very generous and spoil me.
Not surprising. If you want him to be very well off,
you also want him to be willing to spend a
whole bunch of that case on you. And again, this
is just to date her, It is not if you're
in a married relationship with her. Sophisticated and enjoys luxury,

(33:13):
emotionally intelligent and confident, chivalrous and protective, ambitious and disciplined,
family oriented, and well connected, which is also weird desk
for both of those.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Darn it.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
You better have a close family and you better have
a whole lot of friends, because I don't want to
have to supply you with either of those things. You
also better be fit, attractive, well groomed, take control and
make plans. Keeps his word and values, support my goals
and lifestyle, fun, out going, socially respected, prefers privacy over
social media validation, which apparently you feel the exact opposite about,

(33:47):
by the way, and then finally disciplined in the world
of well romance is what I'll say, because it's the
radio and I don't want to be more specific than that.
Oh and one last thing needs needs to be get
a vosectomy, excuse me, needs to be incapable of having
children handles pregnancy prevention.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Is what it actually says, which is crazy.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
So if you qualify for all that stuff, and you
don't mind the fact that she demanded it up front,
then you can date this lady who's somewhat attractive and
viral online more for her ridiculous demands than anything else.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
This is amazing.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
I love that that would be the early interaction between
two people online. Now in the world we live in,
as opposed to like something you'd figure out about someone
over the course of say several dates. Now that you
can just fire it off in a text message on
a dating app to someone you've never met before, it
makes it much easier for us to know who you

(34:44):
should and shouldn't even go on a date with. She
really did him a favor by showing him how insane
and crazy she was and how much of his money
she wants spent on her the minute they start any
sort of relationship, which seems like a really, really bad
decision financially.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
You know what, Actually it's funny. I can't help this.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Every time I see one of these stories or talk
about one of these sort of things that goes viral
in media. I think about a Craigslist ad from years ago.
I think this went viral like in the early two thousands,
and it's just stuck in my brain ever since. The
ad was from a woman who had similar demands to
this woman now, things like you better be a millionaire,

(35:26):
you better give me a bunch of money. Anything else
is unacceptable. And I think in the Craigslist ad that
was viral years ago, the person even complained that she
couldn't find anyone that fit all of her qualifications to
date her, and she wondered why because she described herself
as incredibly attractive, and my favorite thing in why that
story is still in my brain today. A investment banker

(35:48):
responded to her ad and told her, since she's made
a business proposition, he will handle it the way he
does any other business proposal in his life and tell
her what the problem was. And this was my favorite
thing he said. He said, the things that you're selling
are not things that will retain their value over a
long term. If I was looking at them as long

(36:08):
term investments. All of the things you're promising me is
stuff that has a finite shelf life. Essentially, there's no
nicer way to say it. You won't be as hot
now or as hot years from now as you are
right now, and so if you're asking for me to
make a lifelong financial investment in you, you're simply a
bad financial investment.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Viral.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
People hated it, people loved it. I thought it was
kind of hilarious because at the end of the day,
when you're cutting down romance to some sort of business transaction,
you probably should expect a business response to your business offer,
but that person seemed to not do that all right.
One other story out there that I thought was pretty
funny as well. A woman said that she went to

(36:50):
college completely on the dime of Taco Bell. She was
a employee at Taco Bell who applied for a certain
type of scholarship. Were people who run up there change
at the restaurant. I wind up contributing to her, and
she's very proud of herself for doing this. I think
this was a funny story. I kind of liked this.
So here's a little bit of audio of a woman

(37:10):
going viral and thanking Taco Bell for paying for school.

Speaker 11 (37:14):
Graduating college completely debt free because of Taco Bell. If
you work there, you can apply to get a scholarship.
It was what's your name, your GPA, and then all
you had to do was create a two minute video
talking about what you would do with the money in
total from working at Taco Bell if you only had
to work six months. I received forty thousand dollars just

(37:35):
from you guys donating your change every time you go
to order. Every time I'm in that Taco Bell drive through,
I'm like, yes, I would like to rund up my.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Change because you're paying it forward.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Here's what I love about this and comparing it to
the last story I just told you. There's a woman
who wants her next boyfriend to give her a crap
ton of money for a variety of reasons. And then
there's another person who decided to go work at Taco
Bell that got forty thousand dollars in a college scholarship
because she also was a good student. I love option two.
Option two seems like a way better person in society.

(38:04):
I don't want anything for free. I'll work for stuff. I'll,
you know, I do what I can to apply for
certain scholarships and I'll win them, and then I'll get
to get out of school completely debt free.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
There's something amazing about that.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
And the fact that this person whose first name, by
the way, is Crimson and it's spelled funny cr ims
y n is how she spells Crimson. But Crimson is
so proud of the fact that Taco Bell, you know,
paid for the bulk of her education. I feel like
you got to have a Taco Bell taco party at
some point. That's got to be there at the graduation

(38:37):
party at the very least. All right, quick break a
lot more Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
This is the Dana Sholl My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be here for Dana. She will
be back next week after the holiday at Dlash Dana
Lash Radio on x on Twitter to stay connected to
everything she's doing. Steven Miller delivered what is being described
as a master class DISCUSSI on the ongoing push from
Democrats and certain media outlets to bring back a member

(40:06):
of MS thirteen, someone who has deported from our country,
who who two different federal judges found to be connected
to that gang.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
That's not just something.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
You're saying out loud because you're a dirty conservative who
says horrible things that get told.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
To you by other conservatives. This is a real.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Thing that the judicial system said was true and now actually,
according to the Trump administration, has a legal process that
they followed exactly correctly, even though they early on said
they didn't do that obviously, the nuanced approach now seems
to find a legal argument to why this person was
sent out of the country.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
I love this version of discussion.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
I wish this had happened right away, that there wasn't
any acknowledgment that maybe this was a mistake that got
made before finding the actual version of why this occurred.
Whether that's political theater or not, I don't know, but
this argument is strong, so let's go ahead and play it.

Speaker 12 (40:59):
So mentioned there's an illegal alien from El Salvador, So
with respect to you, he's a citizen of l Salvador.
So it's very arrogant, even for American media to suggest
that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle
their own citizens as a starting point, as two immigration
courts found that he was a member of MS Thirtean.

(41:21):
When President Trump declared MS thirteen to be a foreign
terrorist organization, that meant that he was no longer eligible
under federal law, which I'm sure you know you're very
familiar with, d that he was no longer eligible for
any form of immigration.

Speaker 13 (41:34):
Relief in the United States. So we had a deportation
order that was valid, which meant that under our law
he's not even allowed to be present in the United
States and had to be returned because of the foreign
terrorists designation. This issue was then by a district court
judge completely inverted and a district court judge tried to

(41:54):
tell the administration that they had to kidnap a citizen
of El Salvador and.

Speaker 14 (41:58):
Fly him back here.

Speaker 13 (41:59):
That issue was rached with the Supreme That doesn't make sense,
and the Supreme Court said the District court order was
unlawful and its manke opponents were reverse nine zero, unanimously
stating clearly that neither Secretary of State nor the President
could be compelled by anybody to forcibly retrieve a citizen
of l Salvador from El Salvador, who again is a

(42:20):
member of MS thirteen.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
See again, it's so crazy that you make this argument,
that you have this discussion in our society and people
are on two sides of the equation. When you can
make that version of this is why this makes sense
argument to the media or to anyone. This is a
guy who several different courts found to be a person
we wouldn't want in our country anyway. I have more

(42:44):
audio about this. I have the Left and now it's
praising and talking about this issue and kind of very
crazy because they're putting the quiet part out loud for
all of us to see. It's not about saving this
guy or caring about this guy. And his family at all.
By the way, his own wife, the individual who was deported,
said that he beat her and needed a protective order

(43:07):
against him. So he's someone that has his own wife
accusing him of something horrible. And I know the left
usually says to believe all women. I thought that that
was a narrative that we were supposed to follow. I
guess not always the case, or at least they'll leave
these parts out. But here's what an individual, a talking
head said on CNN about what makes them feel good
about the Maryland senator who decided to go visit Ki

(43:31):
Abrego Garcia in jail or in El Salvador. And also,
by the way, have photos of them sipping on Margarita's,
which is very strange. But here's a little bit of
that audio from CNN.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
Someone in power is actually trying to do something to
check the imbalance and power we have right now.

Speaker 7 (43:47):
The Senate is a powerful body. They can do things. Congress.
Is this is the article one of the Constitution. The
senator Booker sort of standing up and giving a speech.

Speaker 15 (43:56):
Is it about the image because it doesn't actually do something.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
It does is that it gets the attention of a
group of people right now who feel like they are leaderless. Right, so,
there is a large swath of a country that is Democrat,
there's a large swath that is uncommitted.

Speaker 7 (44:13):
Ninety million people did not vote.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Okay, I got to stop it right there. That's my favorite.
First part of this argument is that she would say
that not only did everybody who didn't vote for Trump
feel as though they have no president, everybody who didn't
vote at all has to, of course also agree and
feel as though Trump's a terrible person. It's not like
some people who didn't vote might have actually voted for
Trump if they chose to show up at a poll
but didn't really want to do that.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
That couldn't possibly be the case.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
I will use that argument every time in the future now,
whenever a Democrat wins any position of power, I will
just highlight the people who voted against the Democrat and
the people who didn't vote, as if they all absolutely
don't support the individual in power. Because it's such a weird, strange,
like you know, logic jump that she's making to try
to add more value to her argument. Let her continue,

(45:00):
because she's going to get even crazier.

Speaker 4 (45:01):
They are all at this moment waiting for somebody to
directly challenge individual actions of Trump doesn't mean you need
to be the next president candidate of the United States,
but this idea that if you have power right now,
this is an opportunity to step up and do something
about it. So yes, going directly to El Salvador making
sure that he laid eyes on a resident, a someone

(45:23):
who's constituent, frankly made me feel better that if I
get disappeared.

Speaker 7 (45:28):
Somebody's going to try to find me and figure out if.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
I'm okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
I love that other part, because that's the other argument
they make all the time, is it could happen to you.
It could happen to you, It could happen to her,
It could happen to anybody. You may or may not
need to have ties to a gang MS thirteen that
then gets described as a terrorist group within our country,
you then also need to have multiple court cases against
you that find you to actually be tied to that

(45:52):
organization and that you came here illegally in the first
place to be removed from our country. But darn it,
it could also happen to her because she's a Democrat.
Because that's the best way for people to convince you
that you have to support their side of an argument
is that, well, if we allow this to happen, the
next step is that you immediately are the next victim,
even if it's not even remotely close to the case.

(46:14):
I know that that happens on both sides of the aisle.
By the way, I never understand the argument whenever it
happens on either side because it usually takes more steps
to get to me, So telling me that I'm next
has to actually make sense for me to be afraid
of it, and yet a whole lot of people fear
it because they heard it on TV. Let's go ahead
and play this. This is in response to everything going

(46:34):
on with that specific individual who was deported. A mother
from Maryland whose daughter was killed by someone who is
here illegally, is completely confused as to why someone who
is deported to El Salvador, with the track record that
he has is a media darling, and her family and
the child that she lost was not really talked about

(46:56):
at all by members of the political part that's in
power in her own state.

Speaker 16 (47:02):
To have a senator from Maryland who didn't even acknowledge
or barely acknowledged my daughter and the brutal death that
she endured, leaving her five children without a mother and
now a grand baby without a grandmother, So that he

(47:24):
can use my taxpayer money to fly to El Salvador
to bring back someone that's not even an American citizen.
Why does that person have more right than I do?

Speaker 1 (47:40):
They don't, is the right answer to that question.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
And also, and this is the part that matters so
much in these discussions, and I think people on a
certain side of the aisle really need to hear this.
I don't know if they'll be listening to this show
to hear this, but darn it, I'm going to say
it anyway. Hiding facts from you doesn't make that side
the honest side in any kind of debate. If they
tell you the reason they hid facts from you is

(48:03):
they didn't want to radicalize you. They wouldn't didn't want
to convince you or anyone that's worse than you that
the beliefs they had that are not true could somehow
be backed up by facts and stats and data, so
they hid that information. Those individuals are the ones lying.
They're not the good guys. They're not the people you
know of fighting the good fight, they're the people unwilling

(48:24):
to have an honest conversation. And I think that's the
most important part of this sort of thing, in honest
conversation about kill maar A Brago Garcia, is that he
was found a couple times in court to be someone
tied to MS thirteen, a gang that now has a
classification as a terrorist organization in our country, and he

(48:46):
was removed from our country because of that tie. And
also when you learn more about him, including the you know,
accusation that he's someone who beat his wife and she
needed a protective order against him in twenty twenty two,
and may have been someone who is trafficking human beings
in his vehicle around that same time. When you know

(49:07):
those things about him, you no longer have the same
one sided version of a discussion and narrative to prop
up whatever it is you're actually trying to talk about,
which isn't this person at all. It's your attack on
the Trump administration and what you think they're doing and
how it's wrong and terrible. We at least should be
willing to say what we actually want to talk about
and then have a discussion about just that, and not

(49:29):
a discussion about other stuff where you then get to
bring in different pieces of information that disprove the narrative.
Let me say that again, so I say that as
clearly as I can. One thing I think that would
make society much better in these moments is if you
could pause part way through a conversation and look at
someone and say, what do you really want to talk about?
What's the real heart of your discussion here? Let's remove

(49:52):
this one example that you think backs up your position
and just tell me what you actually want to say.
And if what you want to say is that Prumps
immigration policies are wrong and you need to prove that
they're wrong somehow, we can then have a debate about
that where we don't even need to bring in specific examples,
but tell you why from a macro position, I agree
with it and you disagree with it. Then at least

(50:14):
we're having the same conversation instead of two different ones
where my facts don't seem to matter to you because
they don't fit your narrative. All right, quick break a

actually also got to meet Matt at Patriot Talk a
nine to twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
In Houston, Texas excuse me the other day.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
And Matt's an awesome dude too, an awesome Patriot doing
things like a Veteran of the Week segment on that station.
So really cool to get to fill in for Dana
and get to meet awesome people in just some of
the many places that air this show. I'm sure there's
obviously a ton more out there that I should probably
mention at some other point, and I'd love to meet you,
just as I bounce around this country for now in

(52:34):
this state.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
All right, a.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Couple quick things. Let's go ahead and fire off a
quick five.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
It's time for Dana's quick five.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
All right, my favorite the first one. Producer Steven just
let me know about this, which is great. Whitehouse dot
gov is now pointing to the lab leak theory. When
you go to COVID dot gov, you type in covid
dot gov and it replaces it with white House duck
of slash lab leak True Origins of COVID nineteen, and
you dive through all the different information that demonstrates why

(53:07):
President Trump and many other people believe that the origin
of COVID nineteen was the coronavirus lab in Wuhan, China,
something that even John Stewart made a joke about how
ridiculous it is that people question that that is the
likely scenario that caused COVID nineteen. This is something that
places like the Verge are saying is a conspiracy website

(53:28):
even still, which is amazing how people hold on to
those beliefs and those things that I.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Just can't accept this. It can't possibly be true. How
dare you?

Speaker 2 (53:37):
But the Trump administration doing an amazing job of flipping
that site. They also did a great job on social
media of correcting a New York Times headline. I might
get to that a little bit later on in the show,
but the New York Times put out a headline about
the guy who was deported to El Salvador and the
White House. White House on X on Twitter went ahead

(53:57):
and said in their post that they fix the headline
for them by removing wrongly from the phrase about being
deported and also adding that he is never coming back.
Fairly hilarious as far as that goes. Other things out
there that I thought were interesting as far as just
quick stories go. A Michigan man was upset that his

(54:18):
girlfriend went on a cruise without him, so this boyfriend
decided to call in a bomb threat on the ship.
That is something that gets you in a whole lot
of legal trouble and also something that seems to be
a good red flag and a reason why you might
want to break up with this dude. But Michigan man
upset that he was left out of a cruise, I
decided to go ahead and threaten everyone on the cruise. Also,

(54:40):
this Sunday, of course, is Easter Sunday. It's also four twenty,
which is a holiday that a lot of people I
guess celebrate by smoking pot. Of course, if it's legal
where you are, that's probably a good thing to know
or care about before you celebrate the four to twenty
version of Easter. Here's the thing I couldn't get over.
I saw a stat about how almost sixty percent of

(55:02):
American adults would like to go on an Easter egg hunt,
even though they're adults, they don't care, they want to
do that, And I thought that maybe a decent percentage
of the people who said yes to that survey and
would like to relive their childhood might also be people
who intend on celebrating four twenty, And how ridiculous that
would be if those individuals showed up at a park

(55:23):
after invibing in the other stuff that they'd vibe in,
and trying to find Easter egg Because I feel like
that hunt will take several days and we might not
even find some people, they might never come back from that.
But if you so want to, and I am not
encouraging you to do that at all, I am definitely
encouraging you not to do it. But Easter is also
for twenty which several people, at least online are quite

(55:43):
amused about.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
One last thing that I saw was interesting.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
A budget cuts are causing some people to decide to
forego a toilet.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
In their house. This is a real story.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
I can't imagine how many people are actually part of this. Also,
US national parks are deciding to skip creating toilet enclosures
in said parks. But some people are like, you know what,
going outside is good enough for me, it's good enough
for people in the past who needs a toilet, So
they're going that road now. And I can't imagine that
this is a move that you yourself want to make,
or that many people are actually making. But again, a

(56:16):
story went viral from USA today talking about national parks
doing this, and people on social media claim that they
were doing it in their own.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Homes as well.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
I no ability to back that up with proof though,
and certainly a lot of assumption that some may be kidding.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
But some people seem to claim this nextly true.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
I am familiar with the outhouse move, though, by the way,
not personally, just based on you know, the legend that is,
and I am glad that it's not something I ever
lived with. But I'm sure if you're listening to the
show in certain parts of the country and you might
somehow still have that you think it's ridiculous that anyone
needs a toilet. I'm trying to be, you know, understanding
on all sides on this. For some reason, I don't
know why, but I love the fact that this is

(56:54):
a real story that's out there in the world. Finally,
when last thing, as far as quick stories go, Puerto
Rico went can completely dark after another island wide power outage.
This happened over the course of the last few days.
It's got to be something when you figure out that
the power outage is hampering the entire island and not
just you and not just your block. It's not a

(57:14):
squirrel that just knocked down your power line. It's something
that's going on that's taking effect in the entirety of
the country. And you got to be like, all right, man,
we'll just wait for this to turn back on it'll
be fine at some point.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
Let's go ahead and use the outhouse. That'll be good too.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Luckily that doesn't actually run on electricity. All right, I'll
take a break.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
A lot coming up in a very short time.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Greg Collins filling in and having fun on a holiday

Speaker 2 (58:47):
This is the Danish show. My name is Greg Collins,
filling in thrilled to be with you. A press conference
a little bit ago ended sort of abruptly. The word
is that a kid got sick as President Trump was
answering question students from media.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
I can play the audio.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Certainly a lot of other people were worried that it
might have been something more serious. But you can see
at the tail end of this video that a young
girl seems to be taken out of the press room.
It seems like someone else is kind of holding her closely.
From what I've seen or heard, it sounds like she
might have been ill. But people immediately decided to remove

(59:23):
the press and end the press conference, because if someone
is sick and vomiting or something like that, it might
be better for everyone to just go ahead and clear
the room.

Speaker 17 (59:31):
Here we go, press, We don't know what's going on
there the press.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
By the way, that is the voice of someone on
Fox News talking about what's happening in that moment as
they were going live to a press conference. A lot
of people were saying press out, press out. Toward the
tail end of this video, you can actually see a
young woman being taken out of the room by an adult.
So I imagine what happened as someone got sick. But
that is something that's going viral in the last hour
or so online all over social media because people were

(01:00:13):
worried if something more significant had happened there. And we'll
probably have more information about that somewhat soon. And I'm
sure certain people on a certain side of the political
aisle will claim somehow it's a bad, terrible, horrible thing,
and you know, it's Trump hiding something or something else.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Who knows.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
But it seems that they immediately ran to help a kid,
including doctor Oz who was in the room, who seems
like he immediately ran over to help the little kid,
and then also, President Trump seemed to be waving his
hand toward doing something to make sure the child was okay.
Other things out there. I think this is really interesting,
and I'm going to go ahead and throughout an opinion
on what I think should happen here. President Trump has

(01:00:51):
called for the termination of Jerome Powell, that's the FED chair.
The reason why is Powell keeps resisting lowering any sort
of interest rate that would help all of the country
have you better financial future going. And actually, my favorite
part of Trump making his argument is that this has
already happened in the EU. You've seen Europe do something

(01:01:13):
that the United States has continued to resist doing that
would again help financially relieve a lot of stress in
our economy. What I think is really fascinating about this
is the debate, not necessarily even the discussion about economic
impact of the decision making of the FED chair, but
whether or not Trump should fire this person. And I
think you absolutely should fire this person. Most people argue

(01:01:36):
that you need him to fill out to finish out
the remainder of his term in this position of power,
which would be twenty twenty six so next year, and
then you assign your own person, and your own person
sits through a period where they're in that office, and
you know, the next administration that comes in promises they
won't fire your guy, because you don't fire their guy.
You don't cross that line. But I don't know why

(01:01:58):
you would do that. I think that if the impact
now of getting rid of this person and putting someone
like Kevin Walsh or anyone else in a position of
power where they're actually going to make economic decisions that
benefit us right now, I think you do that. And
I think there's a debate as to whether or not
Trump has the power to do it, should do it,
all of that stuff. I think he does have the power,

(01:02:20):
and I think he absolutely should. That's my own opinion
on it. Powell says the Federal Reserve can wait on
any interest rate moves just yesterday according to AP News
and a couple other places, and President Trump thinks that's
obviously wrong. And you know what, I would say, even
one more thing about this, and anyone who says, well,
if we do it, they're going to start doing it,

(01:02:41):
or whatever the case may be, The argue against it
is Trump is always played by a different set of rules,
and I imagine that if Trump President Trump did something,
you could easily make the argument that whoever comes after
Trump's not going to do it. We swear don't do
it to us, We won't do it to you, even
though it probably would happen again, and it might actually
be believed by the other side, and they would also

(01:03:02):
love to vilify Trump for something else. But to be honest,
waiting till twenty twenty six won't do us any good.
It won't be beneficial to the everyday American who has
to deal with decision making that is actually impacting us,
at least I believe it's impacting us and causing our
economy to be more stagnant than you'd want it to be,
especially as Trump wants to wage a war, a tariff war,

(01:03:24):
especially against China, but in general against countries that have
long treated us unfairly. That's his position. And by the way,
just quickly about that. And I don't mean to get
on a soapbox and talk about things that I'm honestly
going to tell you I'm probably not an expert in.
But I will say that if the goal at the
end of the day to do something that hasn't been

(01:03:44):
done in a very long time to a degree that
it hasn't been done in a very long time. But
to do something that actually causes the rest of the
world to see us as a serious negotiator, as someone
who's going to no longer tolerate being taken advantage of
to a certain degree financially on the world stage, that
that should be a good thing that most Americans like.
If that's actually the end result of all this. And

(01:04:06):
guess what, we get to wait till the end of
all this to have a definitive opinion of if it
did or didn't work. We don't have to have the
reactionary opinion right now to say this is terrible and horrible.
And the stock market tanked for a day and then
immediately bounced back and doesn't seem to be struggling anywhere
near as much as people predicted it would struggle, especially

(01:04:29):
since there was a pause on a lot of those tariffs,
I understand, but just saying it simplistically, just saying it
the way that hopefully someone else would in your own life,
sitting across the dinner table or having a beer with
you at a bar. If at the end of all
of this, we have better trade deals that benefit our country,
more benefit Americans, more that bring more money and wealth
back into the United States of America. How many people

(01:04:52):
are actually going to be against it? I just I
asked that question, and I don't know the answer. And
you don't know the answer as to what the end
result of all this is potential negotiating is going to be.
You don't yet, no matter how much you could tell
me you do, you don't actually know the outcome. And
when we do know it, if it benefits us. I
wonder if anyone will give him an Abta boy. And
I already know the answer to that is actually absolutely not.

(01:05:14):
No one's giving Trump and an Ada boy. But it's
just so interesting because we're in a society now where
most people only want to react, They only want to
have the hot take immediate. You know, I'll give you
another example. Actually, I love that I'm going to equate
this to politics because.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
I can't help it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
I am a Yankee fan and this is a baseball thing,
and I can't help going here. So anyone who follows baseball,
and I promise this will lead back into politics, might
be aware of the torpedo bat situation. Within the first
week of the regular season, of MLB baseball. The New
York Yankees were covered all over the place for having
several other players switched to something called the torpedo bat,

(01:05:55):
which supposedly moved the thick part of the bat further down,
which meant you could hit a home run on a
pitch that you usually would have popped out if you
swung at it and hit it with the same part
of the bat with a traditional bat.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
That's a lot to explain. I couldn't help it.

Speaker 7 (01:06:07):
I did it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
Anyway. Here's my favorite part of that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Since that outcry, since that reaction to the torpedo bats
are unfair and they're ruining baseball, and people like Dave
Portnoy went out and went crazy about how the Yankees
are basically cheating, even though nothing they did is against
the law, are against the rules of MLP, excuse me,
not the law. Whatever they did. They also went really
dry with home runs. There aren't more home runs being

(01:06:33):
hit by torpedo bat players. In fact, several of the
Yankees who use torpedo bats have not been hitting a
lot of home runs since it's amazing, and so that
immediate reaction of baseball is ruined forever because of a
specific change to a bat is now gone, and no
one is out there saying, hey, you know what, the
torpedo bats aren't having the impact we thought they'd have.

(01:06:55):
They're not ruining baseball the way we thought they were.
We're going to wait and get more information before we
have the same hot take.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
It's just silence.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
It's just over in the world of sports to have
that discussion that happens every day. In politics, that happens
all the time, specifically following around President Trump with the
immediate crazy, insane reaction and the predicting of doomsday in
the apocalypse and then the inevitable non occurrence of doomday

(01:07:23):
doomsday in the apocalypse, and a whole bunch of people
just forgetting to give us a new update on that.
And I guess to make this full circle, I'll go
back to the hilarious change that the White House has
made to covid dot gov, a website that when Biden
was in office told you how to get vaccines and
shots and all of that stuff and didn't do anything
talking about the origins of the COVID nineteen pandemic. And

(01:07:46):
now if you go to that same website, the Trump
administration has given you a thorough debriefing on the lab leak.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
You know, proof or assumption.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
I don't even want to just call it a theory
as to how this China has refused to actually let
us fully prove this.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
How this is the way that COVID started. And I
just love that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
I love this version of we're going to revisit that
part of history that no one else is really deemed
worthy of talking about because the reaction period is over.
So that might have been another long walk I couldn't
help take on a holiday show about something that I
care about that's not politics at all. But the torpedo
bat is not ruining baseball, even though people said it would,

(01:08:27):
and players who aren't good would all of a sudden
act like you know, players on steroids.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
That is not actually happening.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
And so maybe, just maybe the lesson we can learn
from my favorite sport, America's favorite pastime, at least at
one point it was, of baseball, is to wait to
not have the immediate reaction that fits your narrative, but
actually wait for all the information to come across the
old desk to decide whether or not the thing you're
saying is true or false, and the same is probably

(01:08:56):
even true about the current discussion about the person deported
to El Salvador, who when that story first broke, a
lot of people were saying was obviously a mistake and
a separation of a person from his family that never
should have been removed from the country. And now we're
talking about how that person had multiple judges to find
them as a member of MS thirteen, a gang that

(01:09:18):
is now seen as a terrorist group, and that terrorist
group and his involvement with it would make him incapable
of someone who's allowed to stay in this country, even
if he had a protection order in twenty nineteen saying
we can't send him back to El Salvador. It's interesting.
Has more time and information allows you to have a
more nuanced opinion about a discussion about a topic, But
darn it, how many people want that first the instant reaction,

(01:09:42):
I'm thrilled that I just brought torpedo bats up in
a political discussion, and I'm not going to get over
that for a while. You probably don't care a listener
out there, but I'm very happy about it. And on
that note, I'll take a break and we'll come back
and do something probably just as silly or just as I.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
Don't know if I want to say stupid as.

Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
Torpedo bats politics, But darn it, that's the kind of
show I'm bringing you today.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
Greg Collins filling in on the Danas Show.

Speaker 9 (01:10:05):
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've partnered with a great company that
makes it super easy to buy, easy, transparent and simple.

(01:10:28):
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.

(01:10:49):
It's a really great deal, so don't miss out. Visit

for Florida Man. That's right, It's time for Florida Man.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in on the Dana
Show d Lash Dana Lash Radio on X on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
I won Florida Man.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
A Florida keys man is facing three felony charges after
deputies said he swung a knife at a convenience store
clerk and bystanderds who confronted him about stealing a bag
of Chex Mix early Thursday morning. According to the Monroe
County Sheriff's Office, the armed robber happened. Armed robbery, excuse me,
happened about two am at a Tom Thumb store. The

(01:11:38):
arrest report states that Jonathan Charles Sedek thirty five.

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
I'm sure I got.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
His last name wrong of Marathon, Florida, went into the store,
started drinking a mountain dew.

Speaker 4 (01:11:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
I find this so funny, bumped into and knocked over
a stand of donuts, then grabbed a bag of Chex
Mix and tried to walk out of the store without
paying for anything. A deputy set a clerk and multiple
customers tried to stop him, to which point he pulled
out and started swinging a knife around, so they let
him go.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
He allegedly accidentally cut himself during the process. I love
that too.

Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
Of threatening other people and then leaving the establishment to
get apprehended, it is not okay to do that, So
of course there is a you know, a set of
charges including armed robbery, aggravated assault with the deadly weapon, felony,
possession of a weapon, etc. That he will be charged with.
A no bond has been listed. But I do love
the fact that he harmed himself. It feels like that

(01:12:35):
was exactly appropriate karma for what was going on there.
Another Florida man is accused of impersonating a deputy while
trying to confront a Walmart driver that he, for no
reason at all, was suspicious of human trafficking. So a
guy walks up to a Walmart driver in Orlando, Florida,
tells him he's going to need him to step out
of his vehicle. We're gonna have to have a conversation

(01:12:57):
about any of the human trafficking he thought was going
on inside the Walmart truck that was full of Walmart
products and not people. This conversation led eventually to the
person who was making him get out of the car
claiming that he was a police officer, a law enforcement deputy,
eventually getting in a whole lot of trouble because that's
a felony. That's a crime. Michael Diaz is the name

(01:13:19):
of the guy who was caught doing this. He approached
the vehicle, he knocked in a window, He did all
those things, as I said. He even presented a business
card that featured Florida Sheriff's Association as a organization with
a logo that apparently he printed up himself. Because Darne,
it isn't that how all police officers identify themselves to you?

(01:13:40):
With a business card that they printed at a local
print shop. That's exactly how they do it. Darn it,
that's no way to figure out this crime. The guy
was arrested and is going to face quite a few
charges as well, because again, that's a felony. And finally,
one other Florida person, This is actually a Florida woman
who decided to Florida man. She did this after a

(01:14:03):
I love the way this is described in the story
nightclub encounter. We're not sure exactly what that means. At
what point the two of them wound up alone in
some sort of place, but they started out at the
restaurant and nightclub at East Atlantic Avenue. The individual that
is accused of this crime is a Delray Beach woman
who drug demand and then, as I said, still his

(01:14:24):
seventeen thousand dollars rolex after they met outside at the
downtown club. According to the police report, one of the
women later accompanied him back to his home. Once there,
you know, other things promptly occurred that were bad, including
all the extra drugging and the sleep aids and whatnot. Wilson,
the individual who was accused of this crime, was arrested.

(01:14:45):
Twenty five year old woman. Her middle name is Sunshine.
I don't know why I found that amusing. Serena Sunshine
Wilson is the person who did this, twenty five. She's
actually from Georgia. She was arrested and charged with a
grand theft, viol of Florida Anti Tampering Act and other crimes.
So be careful who you're hanging out with at the nightclub,

(01:15:06):
who offers to walk you to your car outside and
inevitably takes you home, as that person may be someone
that's drugging you, even if that's a young woman, a
young lady. I don't know why I can't get over this.
The other thing I reacted to the story on and
there's a game that people can play called Florida Man,
where you put your month and day of birth into

(01:15:28):
your search engine of choice and then the phrase Florida
Man and you find out who your Florida person is.
You can go ahead and do it right now if
you're listening to the show and you want to try
it out. But the funny thing about this headline, the
Florida man did nothing, He was drugged, stuff was stolen
from him, and yet the headline still says Florida man,
not Florida woman who committed the crime. I feel like

(01:15:50):
that's what should have led it, But I guess she's
from Georgia, so they can't do that. So this guy
gets to be somebody's Florida Man from this past weekend.
If your birthday was this past weekend and you google it,
you are now just the victim of a crime, not
someone who did something crazy like wrestle an alligator. By
the way, I am born on a Halloween, so October
thirty first, and Florida man goes into the old Google

(01:16:11):
machine or again whatever a search engine of choice you want,
and the first result I get is a Florida man
takes epic mugshot after driving naked and getting in a
lot of trouble for it, making some other terrible decisions.
The mug shot makes him look like he was definitely
beat up. Kurt Jenkins, fifty six years old and a
whole lot of trouble. That's my Florida dude, drunk guy

(01:16:33):
who made decisions he should not have made.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
I think he did this.

Speaker 2 (01:16:36):
In San Antonio too, by the way, So a Florida
man going rogue in Texas is apparently the first result
I get. If you want to tell Dana on social
media on x on a d Lash or Dana Lash
Radio who you're a Florida man or Florida woman is
based on your birth month, birthday, and then that phrase
go ahead. She won't know why it's happening, which I

(01:16:58):
will immediately apologize too, or four if she asked me to,
but go ahead and let her know who your Florida
people are, so that can be maybe research for a
future Florida Man segment on this very show. My name
is Craig Collins, filling in on the holiday. Dana will
be back after the holiday, and I am thrilled to be.

Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
With you today.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
I will just quickly take a second before we take
a break and get back to the show that it
is Good Friday. That is a fairly significant faith based
holiday weekend. And as someone who's Catholic, I just want
to say Happy Easter and happy Holidays to everyone out there,
even if Good Friday is a weird day to celebrate
or weird day to at least talk about. But all right,
that's all I say about that. More coming up in

(01:17:38):
a bit. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

Our partners that he'll bring you this program. A Florida
companykel Tech, which is one of the best companies out there.
I love kell Tech the PR fifty seven. It's a
rotary barrel pistol chambered in five to seven. It's brand new.
I've gotline. It is amazing. This thing is so lightweight.
I love five sevens and I've always wanted to carry
but I have a more diminutive frame, being that I

(01:18:03):
am a female and so and I have some girlfriends
that are you know, they say the same thing. This
is a five to seven we can actually conceal carry
And I'm not even joking. I don't need to word
like tons of baggy stuff. How did they make this happen?
What did George Kelgrin do to do this? Well? First off,
it's a rotary barrel. It's incredibly innovative, and it makes
it the lightest five to seven on the market, forty
percent lighter than the next lightest five to seven. In fact,

(01:18:25):
unique top loading design replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips
for a slimmer carry profile and a twenty plus one
capacity MSRP folks is only three ninety nine. So this
is just ridiculously affordable, lower recoil for ease of use
and accuracy, and just the easiest quickest field strip out there.
It's first of it's kind from Celtech, the PR fifty
seven rotary barrel pistol chambered in five seven. Visit kel

This is the Dana Schelle. My name is Craig Collins
filling in Thrilled to be with you. Dana is back
after the holiday, d Lash Dana Lash radio and x
on Twitter. Great ways to stay connected to her. There
is a short form and a long form version of
the clip I'm about to play for you of the
wife of kill Maar Abrego Garcia, appearing on ABC News

(01:19:14):
and their morning show A Good Morning America earlier today.
I'm going to play the longer clip, not because I
think it actually does any of the stuff that democratic
or left leaning media wants you to believe it does,
and actually I have a reason that I definitely think that,
but because I know people will start to accuse conservative
media of cherry picking out the one part of this

(01:19:36):
interview that is the most scary or the most significant
and not playing the other two parts, the part at
the beginning and the part after that moment. But I'll
play all this about a minute fifty. I'll probably jump
in as we go, But this is the wife of
Abrego Garcia, who was booked on ABC News to do
an interview that obviously was about trying to bring kill

(01:19:58):
Maar back and how much she misses him and how
you know important it is to reunite the family and
all that narrative stuff that media is obsessed with right
now with this story. But there's two very chilling moments
during this let's go ahead and play it.

Speaker 14 (01:20:11):
The administration. They're resisting a quote order to bring your
husband back to the US. They say, your husband a
member of the MS thirteen gang? Is Is he a
member of the MS thirteen gang or any other gang?

Speaker 18 (01:20:26):
No, he's not.

Speaker 1 (01:20:28):
Okay, I have to be honest with you right there,
I already am.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
And it's not just the delay that exists when you're
having a conversation with someone on a phone or something,
which people might point to. But it's her face, which
I know on radio you can't see. There's no smile,
no laughter, no version of that's a ridiculous claim. There's
a very stone faced, straight faced version of no. I
was told to say no, and I'm going to say
no to this question, no matter what the actual proof

(01:20:52):
is that's come out, and the judges who believe that
he is in fact part of MS thirteen, or at
least was a few years ago and likely still is.
There's a lot of information that's demonstrated that there is
a belief that that is true, and she simply says
no with a stone face. But here's why I even
played that audio, because a lot of liberal media is
just going to use that and nothing else. Here's the

(01:21:13):
next question, which you're going to hear in a lot
of conservative media, and just how terrifying this one is.

Speaker 14 (01:21:19):
And I know this is a sensitive question, but I
have to ask it. You did take out a temporary
order of protection against your husband in twenty twenty one.
Were you in fear of your husband?

Speaker 18 (01:21:34):
Husband is alive? That's all I can say.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
Okay, that's the entire answer to that second question. Were
you in fear of your safety? Were you afraid of
your husband? And she says, my husband is alive. That's
all I can say, and again her face doesn't change.
There's not any version of anything other than a very
stone faced individual doing an interview on a now national
television show in which and I'll play that part again

(01:22:03):
because that is to me, the most haunting moment. And
you hear Strahan immediately say, well, I'm not going to
press anymore. I'm not gonna ask any more questions about that,
probably because he told them in advance. He would barely
ask anything about it at all, but the fact that
that's the answer that comes out of her mouth, that
absolutely it seemed like she was afraid for her safety
because there's no reason not to say no, and she

(01:22:26):
does not say no. She simply says he's alive. And
that's all I care about. This seems like someone who's
the victim of something. And any amount of you know,
psychological data and information and studies will tell you that
sometimes these victims try to protect the people who harm them.
That a lot of times this happens, that people who

(01:22:46):
go through domestic violence and domestic abuse take years to
find the strength, the courage, whatever you want to call it.
They even wind up getting judged for it in a
really horrific way, for standing by someone that they should
have stood up against sooner. And there's something about that
that rings so true, and so I don't know it
just it scares me in a way to hear that

(01:23:08):
be the answer to this question for this woman who's
being trotted out in front of media to try to
say how much she misses her husband. And so I'll
play that part again, and I'll play the last part
that probably a lot of liberal media would also accuse
conservatives of not being willing to play it.

Speaker 14 (01:23:21):
But here it goes, and I know this is a
sensitive question, but I have to ask it. You did
take out a temporary order of protection against your husband
in twenty twenty one? Were you in fear of your husband?

Speaker 18 (01:23:39):
Husband is a life? That's all I can say.

Speaker 14 (01:23:45):
Okay, and you know I'm not going to push on
that apparently, but how much hope do you have that
you're going to be reunited with your husband?

Speaker 7 (01:23:53):
And what keeps you here?

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
Here's the thing. I can't even handle it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:56):
There's something about it that makes me so upset that
media would even do this. So you hear a woman
give an answer to a question like that, Were you
afraid for your safety? Is the way he basically phrased
the question. And the woman seems so terrified of her
husband currently that she's doing this media interview to try
to drum up support for people to reunite them as

(01:24:17):
a family whatever. Who knows what it is, but she
seems so currently afraid of him that she's willingly doing this.
And his next question is transition to the thing that
media wants to be the narrative to not actually think
to yourself as a human being. Holy crap, I'm interviewing
someone that definitely has some sort of reason that they
did this just a few years ago. That still feels

(01:24:39):
a certain way about this individual no matter what they
say next. And I'm going to go ahead and allow
the part of the narrative that I want to exist
to exist.

Speaker 1 (01:24:46):
I'll play this for you.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
It makes me mad, but I'm going to go ahead
and play it because it's all that ABC wanted out
of this discussion, and not that part that seems jarringly
more important that just occurred.

Speaker 14 (01:24:58):
In your family going.

Speaker 18 (01:25:03):
A lot of hope, and this fight still continues for
kill mar for all the other killers out there whose
voice haven't been heard yet. I won't stop fighting until
he returns home, until I know that he's safe.

Speaker 14 (01:25:19):
And if you can get your husband a message, what
would you like to tell him right now?

Speaker 18 (01:25:27):
I will tell him that I love him, and I'm
gonna still keep praying for him until he returns.

Speaker 2 (01:25:34):
I have to stop it there. This is media taking
advantage of a person. Yeah, I'm not playing it because
I enjoy this or I want to slam dunk on
the narrative or the political aspects of the story. I'm
playing this because I think how evil media can be sometimes,
and I'll go back one more time and play the
reason that I think that for anyone who doesn't understand this.
I'm not trying to overly play this again for any

(01:25:56):
sort of sick enjoyment of it, but because of how
important it is to the discussion I'm having with you
and the point I'm trying to make to you, the
listeners of this show, as to how egregious it was
to interview this person, to put this person on television,
to have a discussion about this person's you know, husband,
when she's evidently still afraid of him. So one more time,

(01:26:17):
the middle part of this discussion that's going to be
played in a lot of conservative places without the beginning,
without the end, and then accused of being, you know,
a cherry picked and whatever it might be. And then
the democratic places that are just going to play the
two other pieces that I played for you, and not
the totality of this message, but this part being the
most disturbing of the entire discussion.

Speaker 1 (01:26:40):
Hold on one.

Speaker 14 (01:26:40):
Second of the MS thirteen gang is.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
No, let's not do that. She says, no, he's not
a member of MS thirteen.

Speaker 16 (01:26:51):
Husband is a life And.

Speaker 14 (01:26:52):
I know this is a sensitive question, but I have
to ask it. You did take out a temporary order
of protection against your husband in twenty twenty one, were
you in fear of your husband?

Speaker 18 (01:27:07):
Husband is alive? That's all I can say.

Speaker 14 (01:27:13):
Okay, you know I'm not going to push.

Speaker 1 (01:27:15):
H Why would anyone keep that conversation going? Is my question?

Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
And I don't have an answer to that because when
she says that like that, I would think that you
know what, no matter what you're going to say next,
no matter how this conversation is going to go, and
no matter all the other times that you've been propped
up in media, and you know clips of you are
being played that when you have that version of a
reaction to that specific of a question, we know there's
not nothing behind it. We know that this is not

(01:27:41):
just an innocent guy who's never done anything wrong that's
sitting in a jail in El Salvador now based on
simply the reaction of his wife to a question about
her own safety inside her home. Again, I'm not doing
this because I want to turn this into some sort
of like you know, there's no other term for it.
Like a news over use or news you know. I'm

(01:28:06):
trying to avoid a bad word here, news you know, ridiculousness.
This is simply important for anyone who knows anything about
the psychology of a victim of domestic abuse. And I'm
not pretending to be any sort of expert in that,
but I certainly know enough to know that a whole
lot of people who go through it protect their abuser
for much longer than they should. And so I guess

(01:28:26):
I can end this segment and take a break on
that simple notion. There's many There are many different organizations
you can reach out to, national hotlines and things you
can call if there is domestic abuse going on inside
your home, inside you know, the home of anyone that
you know. You need help, You need a way to
get out of that situation, and you need support to

(01:28:47):
do it. There are things you can do to do
that because of how important it is to get someone
the help they need in those situations. But I will
go ahead and give out a number you can call
and a group you can reach out to if that
is something that you need. There is a National Domestic
Violence Abuse Hotline one eight hundred seven nine seven two

(01:29:10):
three three one eight hundred seven nine nine seven two
three three. If I was just being a human and
having an interaction like the one Michael Strahan has on
television with that woman, I would immediately give her that
number off the air. That's immediately what I would do.
Not that again, since he's not in this country anymore.
She might necessarily need it right now, But who knows

(01:29:32):
what's going on that might cause her to do an
interview like that and react that way to a question
about how safe she felt just a few years ago.
A quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling in
on the Dana Show.

Speaker 9 (01:29:43):
Preborn is a great organization. They are the gospel leader
of the pro life movement, and twenty twenty four alone
they saved over sixty seven thousand babies from abortion. Over
eight thousand women gave their hearts to Christ. What does
Preborn do? They meet women where they are and they
battle against all of the programming and propaganda from planned

(01:30:06):
parenthood and all that stuff. They tell women you are
empowered enough to raise your child, You are able to
do this, and they let them hear their babies heartbeat.
They give free ultrasounds, and when a woman hears our
baby's heartbeat. The chances for that baby's life double. There
have been studies on this. Every ultrasound saves lives. You
could donate twenty eight dollars a day and save a life.
It's best twenty dollars you've ever spent. One hundred and

(01:30:27):
forty dollars you can save five. Your gift gives a
mother the chance to hear her baby's heartbeat, and that's
going to be louder than anything she's going to hear
from the media, from the culture, from planned parenthood, and
Preborn is partnered with pregnancy clinics in the highest abortion
cities providing these life saving ultrasounds. Consider a donation. They
have a four star charity rating. You can give with confidence.

(01:30:49):
A leadership gift can help babies in a big way.
You can do that at preborn dot com slash Dana
five thousand dollars sponsors their network for twenty four hours
and rescues two hundred babies. Donate by dialing pound two
to fifty, say the word baby, or give securely at
preborn dot com slash Dana.

Speaker 3 (01:31:04):
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
This is Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in on the Dana
Show Dlash Dana Lash Radio on x on Twitter to
stay connected to her. Coca Cola bottles with yellow caps
are selling out of stores. I think this is mostly
in Minnesota and some other places. The reason that they're
so popular is the yellow cap means that the Coca
cola was made with real cane sugar, not with corn syrup,

(01:31:33):
which is way more delicious for anyone that's had like
a Mexican Coca Cola or anything else that does have
cane sugar in it. The not surprised at all, very
very popular. If you see a yellow capped Coca cola bottle,
the two liter one, or even a littler one, or
a can or anything it's got a yellow top to it,
you should buy that and consume it, is what the
Internet is telling you because of how much more delicious

(01:31:55):
it is than anything else other quick stories out there.
Dose has begun freezing healthcare payments for extra review. This
is not something that they say they're going to stop forever,
but Dose has dubbed itself as defend the spend, and
it wants more information about anything that our government does
and any excess money that's just getting essentially thrown in
the toilet to some of it, though, it's going above

(01:32:17):
and beyond to look into all those different ways that
the government just shells out dollars, not just to people
but organizations, including Harvard of course, to see what we
can do to get some of that sweet sweet cash back.
A twenty four thousand pound of egg semi truck, a
semi truck carrying that many eggs was apparently destroyed. The

(01:32:38):
truck caught on fire and all the eggs were inevitably destroyed.

Speaker 1 (01:32:42):
A lot of people on social.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
Media are thinking this as a conspiracy theory this happened
on purpose because it makes the price of eggs even
more expensive, at least outside of Chicago and in parts
of Illinois. Twenty four thousand eggs just got that seems terrible.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, no actual
cause given to us. Yet I feel like I might
lean with a conspiracy theorists on that that there's a

(01:33:04):
good chance that someone did this on purpose to cause
more harm in the price of eggs.

Speaker 1 (01:33:09):
One other story that I.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Thought was real interesting out there as far as a
quick one goes, Snapchat is harming children. This is not
new information. We've known this for quite some time. It's
not alone in doing that. Most social media platforms are
doing it, but Snapchat's design specifically chooses to expose millions
of kids to harm, according to a brand new study.

(01:33:32):
The investigation of region originally happened in October of twenty
twenty four, and several different independent journalists after investigating the app,
so just how likely it was to cause not only addiction,
but maybe even some sort of promoting of.

Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
Bad lifestyle behavior.

Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
This is compulsive behavior, drug and gun use behavior, certain
abuse is being sort of facilitated through snap Chat cyberbullying.
Knowledge of harm to underage kids is something that the
platform is widely aware of as a byproduct of its
specific you know uses, and yet they don't care. Essentially,

(01:34:13):
it's an industrial level of harm that's happening to kids
on an industrial scale, i should say, and the company
knows that that's also feeding its level of success, so.

Speaker 1 (01:34:23):
They're doing nothing to stop.

Speaker 2 (01:34:25):
There are several suggestions of what should be done to
protect both miners who use this app and then just
people in general. Several of them include removing filters like
beauty filters from miners, removing the ability for people to
search for individuals they don't know of a certain age
on social media, et cetera, et cetera. And none of
this is stuff that's actually happening with Snapchat. As I said,

(01:34:47):
they're not alone. Most social media apps right now are
harming young people. The younger you are and the you know,
quicker you turn to those apps, the more likely it
is to do sustained lifelong damage to you and your
mental health, among other things. I think it is very
interesting that as more and more this information comes out, Facebook.

Speaker 1 (01:35:07):
Years ago was caught doing a whole lot of this.

Speaker 2 (01:35:09):
Essentially, the organizations that benefit from it, the companies that
run these apps, just don't care.

Speaker 1 (01:35:15):
Why would they care. It's essentially our version of cigarettes,
I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:35:19):
Is the amount of people who are addicted to this,
the amount of people who are harmed by it, in
the industry that's making money off of it is this
perfect circle, this perfect storm of we're not going to
fix it anytime soon. And I'm not trying to vilify
TikTok specifically, as this discussion was about Snapchat, and I
know one of the benefits of TikTok, certainly during the
last election, is that it was nowhere near as heavily

(01:35:40):
censored to one side of the political aisle as other
apps are. But I just think it's interesting when apps
are sort of proud of the fact that they cultivate
a whole lot of young people on them, like people
you know, under even the age of eighteen. A lot
of miners use certain apps and like to use certain apps.
It feels like a weird thing for companies to brag
about and be proud about in the world of social

(01:36:02):
media or anything else, because of all this data that
says how damaging all this stuff is to kids. And
it's even odder when I think about that, because social
media became a thing when I was an adult, not
a child, and I can't fathom what it would be
like to be a kid who can't get away from
the way in which people interact sometimes or kids interact sometimes,

(01:36:22):
especially if there's bullies and other people at school, or
you know, things embarrassing that happened to you that wind
up all over social media. I just can't fathom how
much more difficult that is than what we dealt with
growing up as kids.

Speaker 1 (01:36:34):
Or at least if.

Speaker 2 (01:36:35):
Something bad happened, nobody remembered it after a certain amount
of time because it wasn't plastered all over social media
for strangers to even interact with, or any of the
other dangers that come in, which I guess is why
I never really cared about the idea of banning TikTok
or banning any of the social media apps. I imagine
they do tremendous value to kids, even if the rest

(01:36:55):
of us might have to figure out something else to use.

Speaker 1 (01:36:57):
I've never cared about that as much.

Speaker 2 (01:36:59):
I know it's wrong, I know it's government overreach, but
the damage being done is often forgotten. All right, quick break,

Speaker 2 (01:38:32):
This is the Dana show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff to talk about. D Lash Dana Lash Radio on
x on Twitter. Let's do a quick coverage of a
bunch of different headlines out there, some that we haven't
touched on much today, even though I thought I actually
would talk about some of these more. The Trump administration
is seeking records from Harvard on foreign funding and ties.

(01:38:56):
The fight between the Trump administration and Harvard is getting
more and more interesting by the day. At first, Harvard
seemed to be willingly defiant to any sort of changes
to DEI and said so much out loud to the
Trump administration, and they decided, all right, we're going to
pause some federal funding while we look a little bit
deeper into that.

Speaker 1 (01:39:17):
And now as.

Speaker 2 (01:39:17):
You dig through the records, more and more pieces of hey,
maybe we should chase this rabbit down this rabbit hole
and see how far this goes, including Reuter's reporting just
a few hours ago that the administration is going to
seek to understand foreign funding and ties to other governments
and what else is going on there.

Speaker 1 (01:39:35):
I find that very interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:39:37):
This feels like a more is yet to come a
version of a story and we'll see where those rabbits go.
RFK Junior is getting bashed by a whole lot of
liberal media for vowing this is funny to me, transparency
in a search for a cause of autism.

Speaker 1 (01:39:54):
I have the audio. I can play it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:56):
RFK Jor, The HHS secretary said on Fox last night
that this is what he was going to do to
see about one what actually causes autism and two how
he would be fully transparent with the American people while
seeking to figure out what that is. And this apparently
is horrible and terrible if you're liberal media.

Speaker 15 (01:40:17):
And we're going to be transparent about our protocols, about
the data sets, and then every study will have to
be replicated. We're gonna look at mold, We're going to
look at at at the age of parents. We're going
to look at food and food additives. We're gonna look
at pesticides and toxic exposures. We're gonna look at medicines,

(01:40:39):
We're gonna look at vaccines.

Speaker 1 (01:40:42):
We're gonna look at everything, And well, how dare you, sir?
I wish that that's how people actually behaved.

Speaker 2 (01:40:48):
When you say something completely, you know, logical, something that
makes tremendous sense to a lot of us. We're going
to look at everything, We're going to make sure that
we can replicate studies that we believe actually demonstrate some
sort of cause to this, and we're going to do
all of it in the most transparent way we possibly can. Granted,
I'm sure people will accuse them of not doing it
this way, but it hasn't happened yet, so I'll wait

(01:41:09):
before I make that decision as to just how transparent
this information is. But nonetheless, if you were just going
to figure out the cause of anything and you thought
that eventually actually breaking that code might help us to
do more to help people in certain situations, no one
would ever object to this. But when it's RFK Junior,
when it's specific to things where vaccines is something that

(01:41:30):
he might believe, we might find a whole lot of
information but not actually saying it there waiting for the
proof to actually follow. Whatever the discussion is, people have
to vilify and say that you're a terrible, horrible person,
and how dare you go and try to figure out
the cause of something which is insane to me?

Speaker 1 (01:41:48):
I can't get over that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
Other stories out there students at Florida State gathered for memorials.
They prepare to retrieve belongings to those who lost their
lives in the school shooting that happened yesterday. Some things
that really matter, and I think are rather important.

Speaker 1 (01:42:06):
To this discussion.

Speaker 2 (01:42:07):
The FSU shooting suspect was kidnapped as a child by
his biological mother, who briefly fled to Norway with him.
That's a story that people dot com and other places
have broke within the last couple hours as the discussion,
and I can play audio of this and you can
understand audio of this turns to guns and gun control
or whatever else has to be the discussion point for

(01:42:31):
mainstream media or legacy media or liberal media to follow
its own narrative irrelevant to any of the actual data
that matters. There are going to be these things that
come out that talk about the mental health of the
individual and where and how that mental health could become
something that would cause you to eventually be willing to
just take the lives of people indiscriminately. So at least

(01:42:54):
is the belief so far. I'm not going to say
the name of the individual who's twenty that was the
shooting suspect in this They did use their step mother's
service weapon to commit the crime. And so a couple
things that matter about that is any sort of legislation
that would even be used, wouldn't regulate handguns, wouldn't regulate
people that are members of police department from having service weapons.

(01:43:18):
So none of the things that anyone would do anywhere
in DC would actually have prevented this individual from having
access to this firearm.

Speaker 1 (01:43:26):
That wouldn't occur.

Speaker 2 (01:43:27):
Whether or not the firearm was safely stored somewhere in
the house where the kid didn't have access to it,
where the twenty year old didn't have access to it,
that's a discussion for another day. I guess I doubt
that something that actually, you know, who knows what the
exact variables of that are, But I doubted something that
actually would inevitably be in and of itself the only
thing that could have been done differently. But the truth is,

(01:43:49):
if you actually want to solve the problem and actually
want to get to the heart of these issues, you
focus on the individuals who are willing to commit these crimes,
not necessarily the weapon they choose to do it with,
because horrific and this is obvious. They'll choose a different weapon,
or they'll gain a weapon illegally. They'll do whatever they
have to do to still commit the crime. They don't
care about breaking more laws if they're already willing to

(01:44:10):
take lives. I don't know why that part of the
discussion can't be discussed or can't actually be admitted to
more by the side that wants to turn it into
just a gun control issue. Other stories out there that
I thought were interesting. The Trump administration is coming up
against judges in the judicial system, not necessarily the Supreme Court,
but US judges halting all kinds of things. And one

(01:44:33):
of the most interesting decisions made earlier today is a
judge has blocked the president's administration from being able to
deport non citizens to other countries, to what they call
third countries. This means, if you're someone that should be deported,
but for some reason, and this is true in the
case of kil Abrego Garcia, the guy that's getting talked

(01:44:54):
about in the news all the time, some court order
decides you shouldn't be deported to the country you came from.
We could send you somewhere else. A court recently tried
to prevent that as of today, which is unsurprising because
many people believed that what would happen here is that
some additional steps would be taken to try to stop
Trump from President Trump and his administration from getting people

(01:45:17):
out of this country that illegally came in here, as
many you know, roadblocks as possible. This is the newest
one because typically and what would have happened, and honestly,
this was an argument just a few hours ago on
some talking head places. If kilmarre Brego Garcia was brought
back to the United States based on anything before this

(01:45:38):
judge blocked this action, he would have immediately been deported
somewhere else other than El Salvador. That's what would happen
next to someone that's been designated an MS thirteen terrorist
and gang member. You would be sent somewhere other than
the United States, even if it's not El Salvador. And
now that part of the process is attempting to be
blocked by a US judge, that matters because again this

(01:45:59):
all seems like different aspects of pay attention over here.
Will we do this over here and the government pulls
this trick over here in order to get you to
you know, not pay attention to what actually matters, and
it's horrible. Another one that's interesting and out there Luigi
Mangioni another person who, for some reason, even though he

(01:46:21):
seems very obviously to be a murderer, someone who is
allegedly to have committed a crime in which video and
all these other things and proof you know, found on
him at the time he was apprehended, etc.

Speaker 1 (01:46:34):
Etc.

Speaker 2 (01:46:35):
I think I legally have to be safe and how
I talk about this, But a whole lot of people
are going to assume he's guilty of this crime for
very obvious reasons. Anyway, they will be seeking the death
penalty in this case, very likely as the DOJ shifted
to actually go after an assassination case against him. Here's
what's interesting about that. And I say this as a

(01:46:57):
person of faith, a person who understands the Catholic Church
has a stance against the death penalty, something I often
very much agree with and believe in, just personally not
telling you what you have to agree with. But the
thing that's odd about the media darling that is the
accused murderer, Luigi Mangione, and this is crazy, is that
he is being celebrated by so many people that if

(01:47:19):
you ever needed an individual to be an example of
why you can't just shoot someone in the back on
the street, Luigi seems to fit that description of someone
that's case is high profile enough that the punishment needs
to be high profile enough to demonstrate to anyone else
that might want to be a copycat person of this
crime that you shouldn't do that. And so it's interesting

(01:47:42):
to me, and certainly the federal government has said that
they actually absolutely are going to seek the death penalty
that if anyone ever were I'm not sure if I
should say at this point, but I will deserving of
this level of punishment to not only fit the crime,
but be a deterrent to others. It seems to be
the exact case. And again I say that as someone
who is a person of faith, who oftentimes believes the

(01:48:05):
death penalty is wrong and life in prison is better
because life is sacred even for people who commit horrible crimes.
That's just something simply based in the faith that I
have as an individual. But even so, if ever I
was to be convinced otherwise, this feels like the case
where that exists. Of course, and maybe I neglected to

(01:48:25):
mention this. The part of this narrative that matters too
is the amount of people that are saying it's horrible
and terrible that the federal government would even seek the
death penalty in this case, and of course continues to somehow,
in some way a praise and or do odd things
with someone who seems to be very likely to be
convicted of murder again. And so I just find that

(01:48:47):
so interesting and certainly a topic that deserves more discussion
than it's probably getting today outside of people that are
saying it's very simplistically bad when it doesn't really appear
to be the case. And honestly, if you really dive
deeper into it, it's probably exactly the reason that something
like that exists. All right, One last thing, and I
just think this is interesting and I want to throw
it out there because I agree with him on it,

(01:49:10):
and I don't try to agree with President Trump on
everything on purpose.

Speaker 1 (01:49:14):
It just happens sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
I love the fact that he's making reference to potentially
firing Jerome Powell the FED Share because I think he
should do that. I think a whole lot of people
in government and in politics think you should not do that.
I think that you should wait for Powell's term to
finish in twenty twenty six. A point your own person
to be in charge and allow things to happen then.
And the biggest reason why is because if you do something,

(01:49:38):
then the other side's going to do it too, and
there's also going to be some sort of legal debate
as to what you are allowed and not allowed to
do in the first place. I think that Trump is
always played by his own rules. I think that this
is a rule that he could play by again, and
you could convince the other side not to do it
in the future because other Republicans aren't going to do it.
And also, it seems to really help us if interest

(01:49:59):
rates got lower right now. It might be a huge
benefit to an economy that is struggling, and it might
allow President Trump to continue a trade fight that's intent
on getting us better deals with the rest of the world.
And so all these things seem to merge together in
a way where, yeah, lowering the rates might be a
good thing for both us and for everybody else. And

(01:50:19):
what's funny about it is this person seems to be
resisting it for political reasons because even one of the
things that President Trump referenced in Social media is that
Europe has done a lot of adjusting to its interest
rates similar to what he's hoping happens here in the
United States, and for some reason we're saying no to that.
And it's actually because you want to make the tariff
pain worse, not better, which I find very interesting. So

(01:50:42):
I think Trump should fire Powell, and I think that
should happen really soon, and I don't mind saying it
on the radio, even if I'm in the minority on
that opinion. All right, quick break, a little bit more
coming up in a bit. Craig Collins filling in on
the Data show.

Just a couple quick things before we get out of here.
I find it hilarious that Fry Festival two has been postponed.

Speaker 1 (01:52:23):
There's no new date set.

Speaker 2 (01:52:25):
The founder of the Fry Festival has done interviews now
where he's like, I don't know, because, to be honest,
if you were someone who trusted Billy McFarlane the second
time around, after the fraudulent luxury music festival organization that
was a Fry Festival one, by signing up for Fry
Festival two, this is on you.

Speaker 14 (01:52:45):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:52:46):
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame
on me.

Speaker 2 (01:52:49):
Feels very appropriate. Many people are calling for refunds. The
individuals behind this at first said no. Now they said
maybe there might be a yes to the refunds.

Speaker 1 (01:53:00):
I don't deserve them.

Speaker 2 (01:53:00):
I think if you bought tickets to Fry Festival two
and it's going to get canceled and postponed and all
this stuff that you probably assumed was going to happen
to begin with, that money's got to be money you eat.

Speaker 1 (01:53:10):
That money's got to.

Speaker 2 (01:53:11):
Be money that just goes away forever, because darn it,
how could you possibly have bought a ticket to this
and actually quickly talking about concerts. I don't know why
I find this funny. I live in Houston, Texas. Now
I drive by the place where Beyonce is going to
be having one of her shows for her Cowboy Carter tour,
and I saw recently that people are very upset that

(01:53:33):
they bought tickets in pre release when they first came
out on ticket Master, because they had surge charging prices
on them. So if you waited for the very first
release of these tickets, assuming they were going to sell out,
you paid a whole lot of money for essentially nosebleed
seats in the back of wherever it is you're going. Apparently,
thousands of tickets are still available to multiple locations, and

(01:53:54):
the price of them, even for really good seats, have
now fallen significantly lower than the price people paid for
terrible seats. As far as you know those pre release sales.
Why do I think any of this is funny. I'm
not a hater who's anti Beyonce or any of that stuff.
I don't really care. Not exactly my cup of team musically,
but not someone I think is.

Speaker 1 (01:54:14):
Bad at music.

Speaker 2 (01:54:16):
But when you totally switch genres, when you go for
a you know, country album, even if you win a
Grammy as the Best Album of the Year for said
country thing, there might be some core audience members who
don't show up to the concert. So I imagine the
best thing Beyonce could do to sell out those remaining
tickets and all those venues where people are surprised they're

(01:54:37):
not sold and also make all the people happy who
paid way too much money for really terrible seats, is
guarantee she's going to play some older stuff, some stuff
that you love, some stuff that are the hits that
make her someone who sells out venues a lot, and
not just the country music stuff from the newest album.
I think if she makes that promise, all of a sudden.

Speaker 1 (01:54:55):
The ticket issues will go away.

Speaker 2 (01:54:57):
But it's been in the news recently that Beyonce, somehow
way has multiple tickets available for multiple shows, both at
the beginning, middle, and end of her tour. And again,
I drive by the place right here in Houston where
she's going to be performing, and I wonder how many
tickets are actually sold for that venue for that event,
and how many people might be mad if they paid
too much for it. All Right, a couple other quick things.

(01:55:18):
A surgically enhanced influencer. That's the way she's referred to
in this story about her wound up struggling with customs
officers because her passport looks nothing like her. The woman
not only obviously edits the photos the way anybody on
social media does, she chose to take matters into her
own hands and allow surgeons to actually edit her face.

(01:55:42):
And she edited it way too much and didn't get
a new passport photo in time. So Jessica which she
spells with a G, which for some reason annoys me.
But Jessica is now someone who's going to have to
get a brand new passport and almost didn't get back
to her home country of Brazil. The thirty two year
old YouTuber and TikToker looks absolutely nothing like the photos

(01:56:03):
that went viral that are on her passport. I don't
blame anybody in customs from being like, that's not you.
This isn't even close. And then finally, one last thing.
I do enjoy this quite a bit too. A guy
went viral on social media for claiming that this holiday
you should have an abomination of a food product. I'll
go ahead and play a little bit of his audio,

(01:56:24):
but he says, hot dogs are great, peeps are great,
Why not mix them together.

Speaker 19 (01:56:29):
My friend's down here, Lexi's road dogs. We started off
as a joke. We're talking about a hot dog and
a peek bun. It's a hot dog when instead of
a regular bun, it's peeps, and we're gonna we're gonna
try it for the first time here, We're not gonna lie.

Speaker 18 (01:56:43):
This is really really good.

Speaker 1 (01:56:45):
No it's not. No, it's not hot dog.

Speaker 19 (01:56:48):
I'm gonna give that a nine point one out of ten.
That's how good it was.

Speaker 1 (01:56:52):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:56:52):
It's honestly my first reaction to that audio. I never
care what another food piece of advice this individual, this
influence Binzer gives. If he gives a nine point one
to a peap hot dog, that absolutely cannot be true.

Speaker 1 (01:57:05):
There's no scenario where it is true.

Speaker 2 (01:57:07):
And I do not encourage you to try the peap
hot dog if you're now tempted to do it, because
it looks disgusting. Why do you have to merge two
products that are great together if you can just keep
them separate. Peeps are awesome, hot dogs are awesome. They
don't need to be merged in some sort of unholy
alliance that's absolutely wrong. Just in time for Easter. All right,
I'm out of here. Dana's back after the holiday. Happy holidays, everybody.
