The Dana Show with Dana Loesch – Politics & Cult... - BONUS: President Trump Makes His Most Forceful Iran Threat Yet | Political Commentary

This is the Danish show.

My name is Craig Collins filling in and thrilled to be with you.

A bunch of stuff out there to talk about.

The president answered a few questions from the press while celebrating the Easter holiday

at the White House.

Among those questions were asking, they were asking about a ceasefire that President

Trump was like, what are you talking about?

And then also a war crime, which was the big new thing that media, I think the New York

post as a big or the New York Times, excuse me, as a big article about it today, how

some of the things Trump has talked about doing with Iran, would constitute international

war crimes that the US doesn't care about.

And I don't even agree, it's like so convoluted because they want these simplified statements.

Media wants to say the Trump is a felon.

Media wants to say that President Trump is a war criminal, whatever it might be.

But here let's play some of this audio first of President Trump answering questions

including ones about a ceasefire that he's not at all discussing.

Just a 45 days ceasefire that's been talked about and you want to work with that.

Who's talking about 45 minutes or reports this morning, I'm mediator, they're putting

people in front of the ceasefire with the only one that's going to set a ceasefire as

main.

I haven't said any ceasefire.

But they will like to have a ceasefire.

He's again, he'll tolerate it, so we'll see how they behave.

Okay.

I love that answer.

First and foremost, when he's like, who's talking about a 45 day, what are you talking

about?

45 days ceasefire.

Where'd you get that from?

You didn't get it from me.

I'm the president and I talked to you guys all the time.

The funny thing, I'll say this quickly before I play more audio, Biden hid from the press.

So very, very often, a lot of the information you were getting about the White House came

from people that were not the president.

That is a very different thing than the world we live in now.

Any of these members of the press could probably call the president and I've heard several

members of the press say this before, and he might answer and tell them his answer to

whatever their question is, so they don't have to just make stuff up, but they love making

stuff up here.

Let's play another one.

I'm not worried about you know, it's a work run having a nuclear weapon, allowing a

sick country with demented leadership, having nuclear weapon, that's a work run.

And if I allowed that to happen, like seven other presidents did, every president said,

you know, many of them are saying, we off the record and they're saying behind the scene,

they should have done this a long time ago.

Other press for 47 years, this has been going on and every one of those presidents should

have done it.

And actually, as you know, off the record, they're doing it off the record because they

have got the courage to say it, those presidents are giving me a lot of credit.

You should have been done by Obama, you should have been done by Clinton, you should have

been done by the Bushians.

Yes, it should have been done by a lot of people and it wasn't done and now it's finally

getting done and that's true.

As far as international law goes and international war crimes, the United States intentionally,

and this is not a Trump thing, you should look this up if you're not aware of it because

a whole lot of people seem to not be aware of it.

The United States has intentionally said they don't follow those laws.

We care about our national sovereignty, we care about our independence and we can't

be told what to do by anybody that's not us.

The whole America first thing and the importance of it.

I love how often mainstream media wants that international rule of law or international

currency or international whatever to be the thing that many, many people focus on.

All right, we're going to try to do something that's a little bit unique.

We're going to go to some coverage from President Trump's press conference today that he's

giving about Iran.

For some of our affiliates, this might actually be live for some of our affiliates, this

is already happening.

But let's throw to some of this.

I have some of this going.

I'll be with you and Happy Easter.

We had a great Easter.

This is one of our better Easter's, I think, in a lot of different ways.

I can say militarily, it's been one of the best.

So good afternoon.

We have quite a bit to discuss.

We'll go into a pretty good detail and we have the people that are most involved.

We'll give you exactitude and we're here today to celebrate the success of one of the

largest, most complex, most harrowing combat searches.

I guess you would call it a search and rescue mission.

Ever attempted by the military, generally when planes are knocked down in war, especially

when you're fighting a strong group, an evil group, you can't really do this because

you send in 200 men to pick up one, then it's something that's usually not attempted

as much as you want to attempt.

And bad things happen to that one or two.

And at this case, we did two and might not have been attempted before, but we did.

And we had great talent.

We got a little luck, too, I would say.

And we were helped by a lot of people, a lot of great people.

You know, it's interesting about them starting the press conference there.

Not only talking about the success and saving a military man that was behind

enemy lines, saving our military men and women.

What's also interesting about it to me is the idea that he even referenced within that

that we got a little lucky.

And the reason that I think that that's important is the president of the United States is basically

saying that we were willing to take a risk here.

It wasn't like we definitively knew that saving these individuals was going to be as easy

as it wound up being, but it was.

And it does stem from our dominance, our ability to control the entirety of this conflict

from jump.

We're doing much better than anyone thought we'd do.

Well, I don't know if that's true, but we're doing much better more quickly than people

might have projected in our conflict with Iran.

And that does matter.

The president goes on beyond that.

I want to jive a little bit more.

I'm going to jump back into this as we go back and forth here and see what he's talking

about now.

Participating in Operation Epic Fury, where we're doing unbelievably well at a level

that nobody's ever seen before.

The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.

Both members of the crew ejected from the aircraft and landed alive.

On Iranian soil, I immediately was asked to make a decision.

I ordered the U.S. Armed Forces to do whatever was necessary to bring our brave warriors

back home, a risky decision, because we could have ended up with 100 dead as opposed to

one or two.

It's a hard decision to make.

But in the United States military, we leave no American behind.

We don't do it.

With the now as our armed forces deploy 21 military aircraft into hostile airspace, many flying,

had very low altitude being shot by bullets.

You bring rifles into play when you're going that low, but there are also certain advantages.

You know what's really interesting about this, too?

I will jump in again.

We'll probably play more of this in a more cut-up fashion in a little bit here on the

show.

You'll hear more from this press conference shortly on the Dana Show Craig Collins

filling in.

But I think it's interesting to give you the full perspective of the mission, of the

parameters of it and the success of it and the amount of risk that our military men

and women take, because there's also a gratitude in that.

I think one of the, and I don't mean to turn this into a political shot from the right

to the left, but one of the knocks on Biden was oftentimes, especially in the exit in

Afghanistan, how little he seemed to care about or acknowledge the sacrifice of the men

and women who fought in our military.

There's actually stories from one of those survivors who was injured in the exit in Afghanistan

about how cold Biden was when he went to talk to him in the hospital.

And that's not me telling you that.

That's not a politically invented, a one-sided narrative that came from the individual who

was harmed in conflict that serves our country within our military, lost limbs.

And the president of the United States at the time this was Biden walks into the hospital

room and asks him what he wants, coldly, politically, like optically as opposed to being grateful.

So I think there's a gratitude in these statements.

I also think it's important to focus on the, the heroism that exists in saving people.

And finally, the last thing I'll say about a press conference about Iran a day before

President Trump said he might bomb them back to the Stone Age, opening with a focus on

a successful campaign that saved American military lives is the universal good that should

be seen in this story.

It should not be right versus the left issue.

This should not be a, I'm taking a shot because I'm a liberal or a Democrat who wants to

undercut the value of the president.

This should be very easily interpreted as we have military men and women who serve this

country who are behind enemy lines and we save them.

And this should be praised in a good thing.

This should be blanket coverage wall to wall on most media outlets as a, you know, remarkable

achievement.

Of course, it's not because they hate Trump that much.

They hate him so much that they can't acknowledge anything good that happens.

Even when the context is so obvious in this case, but so I do like that.

I do like that at the beginning of the press conference done today from President Trump

about Iran, a focus heavily on the saving of American lives after a craft was down behind

enemy lines because of how, how important that is and how again, I, maybe I should say

it this way before we take a break, some things unite the country and you know what they

are, things like 9-11 when we realize the importance of, of what it means to be an American

and to, to fight terrorism and hate and, and evil around the world and, and to see something

horrible occur in our society right here and, you know, our country.

And we all know, we all know what the next steps are, what they should be.

The country is united in those moments.

It feels as though one thing that should be uniting us more than separating us is this,

the saving of military men and women behind enemy lines, the prevention of, of the loss

of life.

And yet it's not.

We're just too far separated.

We're too far into our corners now to allow that to be anything.

And I'll say it the more plain way, it does feel like people on the left are cheering

for the terrorists, cheering for the Iranians who sponsor terrorism throughout the world.

And that, that is just something I could never get myself to be no matter how much I

hated the other side politically, the politicians who run and do things that hurt me, my life,

whatever it, whatever the motivation might be, I could never get myself to cheer on terrorists.

And for some reason, some of us in the society, some of the talking head, pundit, influencer

people of the world seem to very much be doing that every single day.

And this is yet another story that seems to expose that, all right?

We'll take a quick break.

We'll try to digest more of the press conference president Trump gave about Iran.

This is the, this is the Dana Show Craig Collins filling in more coming up in just a

bit.

It is our friends over at Ghostbett.

I just got, I don't even think I've had it a week yet, I think I maybe have.

Ghostbett is an amazing mattress.

I absolutely love my mattress.

I used to have this like super bougie mattress.

I'm not going to say, but it actually came from a very, I slept on this old mattress once

at a, at a very nice hotel.

And I wanted it for my house and we had it for like a couple of years and it already started

falling apart.

Ghostbett is just, they're, they're just built differently.

They have an engineered sleep system.

Their beds are like health equipment.

That's how they design them.

It's not just like looks or fluff.

I mean, it's literally designed for relief and recovery.

And it's made here in the United States, like if you're waking up stiff and you're tossing

and you're turning or you sleep, you're sleeping hotter, whatever.

It's not because you're like aging or you're not taking care of your body, it's your

mattress.

Ghostbett is made to help with these exact issues.

The support, supportiveness, the cool and the real comforts.

You can actually rest and here's the thing they let you try it for 101 nights at home.

If you do not feel the difference, you can send it back risk-free.

This is legit the mattress I'm sleeping on and I absolutely love it.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

That's right.

It's time for a Quick Five on the Dana Show, D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio, an ex on Twitter,

great ways to stay connected to her at Radio Craig C.

If you want to be one of the lucky 500 or so, it follows me on a social media platform

I need to use more.

Did Chick-fil-A fire an entire shift of workers?

Was a question being asked on social media?

Apparently eight employees at a Chick-fil-A did a somewhat suggestive dance, a quote, chest

bouncing dance while working.

And so now people are curious if all eight of those employees were fired from the establishment

and Chick-fil-A apparently has not answered any questions about this from websites like

Board Panda that are asking what I would love to get an email from someone at Board Panda

demanding truth on a new story and look at it and be like I don't know how I will even

try to care about this.

But here's the thing, companies can fire you man.

You're not allowed to do social media at work behind the scenes at their place of business

if they don't want you to, they can let you go for that.

So I don't think this is a controversy.

I think it's sort of hilarious the entitlement and I am defending Chick-fil-A for sure here

and people who think they're allowed to just do whatever they want on a camera, on their

social media pages, well working at a business that is definitely not true.

There are rules, I'm sure they probably haven't been the employee handbook and so someone

getting canned or maybe multiple people getting canned whether it happened or didn't, not

terribly surprising.

Only 7% of people believe all humans are monogamous by nature.

That was a weird question asked by you Gov.

More often than not it was women who were given credit for potentially being monogamous

by nature.

A man assumed not to be and I'm sure that that's obviously a thing that maybe a lot of people

might agree or disagree with but most people actually said that this is something you

got to try at.

I imagine this was married people who answered this question because it's not about the

temptation of cheating.

I am a long time married man myself.

My wife and I have been married for more than 10 years.

That's not the thing.

You got to work on the marriage even if you have no interest in going out and cheating

on the person you love.

You still got to put in the work every day to make it a thing that's helpful for both

of you.

So I imagine that's what it is.

I imagine that I'm not monogamous by nature thing is I know that it's not easy to

be married.

I know that that's not something you can take for granted for a variety of reasons.

But who knows?

I saw this story and I liked it.

A Easter cake went viral because it's terrifying.

I know this is radio, not TV or anything, so you can't see it.

But it really looks like a terrified cake of a lamb that should not exist in our society.

The lamb itself looks afraid is what I'm trying to say.

It's got eyes that are too big, things that seem to be going on in the eyelid area.

A teeth that are creepy and nose is creepy.

It's a horrifying version of a cake.

If you bought this and put it down in a table for your family, they would all be worried

about you and the baker who made it.

So I love that that's uniting people that more people are saying crazy things about it.

And then finally one last thing.

Apparently a 1979 disco hit is going viral, ring my bell by Anita Ward, because people

on social media are saying this brings you fame and fortune if you play it on a loop

every day.

It's a quote matrix hack.

This is the song people are talking about.

Okay, yeah, that's enough of that.

They say if you play this every day, every boarding in your house, you might have

fame, fortune and a bunch of good stuff.

I don't get that at all, but anyway, it's a song that I totally forgot existed and now

I remember.

Quick break.

A lot more.

My name is Greg Collins filling in thrilled to be with you a bunch of snuff out there to

talk about.

President Trump gave a press conference on Iran today by and large, the press conference

focused on at least the beginning of it.

The successful saving of military men and women that were left behind enemy lines after

a craft was down and aircraft was downed.

We did a lot of things to save the lives of two people.

This is a generically good story that mainstream media can't seem to understand is generically

good.

President Trump said a couple things.

The thing seeming to get the most viral attention at least initially after the press

conference was his statement about the entire country of Iran and how it could be just

taken out overnight.

And that might be tomorrow on Tuesday where something were to happen that is a deadline

of the president has given to Iran to reopen the straight of hormones or else face a whole

lot of negative things that you don't want to face.

Here's that moment very quick in the press conference that was done earlier today.

The entire country could be taken out in one night and that night might be tomorrow

night.

Again, people are really reacting to the simple statement of that well going through a lot

of the discussion of how successful of a military campaign we had in saving lives of military

people that we didn't want to lose.

And how interesting that whole discussion was now there was another moment that I thought

was important that isn't getting a whole lot of coverage, a lot of places.

This is when President Trump revealed that leaked sensitive information was given to

a media outlet so that they could tell us that one of the two members of the aircraft

that was downed had not been saved yet.

So this is very obviously a national security issues.

If a news organization is told that a military operation is currently being conducted to try

to save an American life and that person is still behind enemy lines, even if the enemy

is not totally aware that that's true.

This has a negative impact on the amount of, of, of, the potential for success in the

mission as a whole, a bunch of other things are a problem here.

I thought this was a really captivating minute or so of a mention and what Trump said

President Trump said he's going to do.

They're going to go after the leaker and they're going to hold some people accountable even

if that's through a court of law.

And as you probably know, we didn't talk about the first one for an hour and then somebody

leaked something which will hopefully find that leaker.

We're looking very hard to find that leaker and talked about this, somebody missing, they

basically said that we have one and there's somebody missing.

Well, they didn't know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information.

So whoever there was, we think we'll be able to find it out because we're going to go

to the media company that released it and we're going to say, national security, give

it up or go to jail and we know who, and you know who we're talking about because

some things you can't do because when they did that, all of a sudden the entire country

of Iran knew that there was a pilot that was somewhere on their land that was fighting

for his life and it also made it much more difficult for the pilots and for the people

going in to search for him.

This is very obvious.

This is very simplistic as far as the discussion goes.

If you are a media company and if you're told during an ongoing military operation that

something may be true, someone is leaking information to you, which I think you only have

so much ability to authenticate the detachment because oftentimes leaked information is

actually untrue.

But if they were to tell you this, well, the country is still conducting the operation

to try to save a person's life and you say that they're still not rescued yet.

You're absolutely giving valuable intel to the enemy.

The other side is like, oh, okay, if we thought that maybe the US had already successfully

saved both people, now we know one of them is still somewhere in our country and we

can do whatever we weren't doing, whatever that might have been.

Maybe a comment started because Iran had believed both people were saved and we were doing

something, you know, in a, a, not loud way that had to become louder once the fighting

ramp back up.

I don't know what happened.

I just know that there's a myriad of issues that come from reporting on something like

that.

Well, it is occurring and I hope the Trump does find whoever is accountable for that and

I hope he does hold people accountable and throw him in jail.

You know, it's interesting to say it this way because I am technically a member of the

media.

I have my own radio show in Houston that I do the Craig Collins show, but you can check

out all over podcasting if you want to, but anyway, every time I hear someone like President

Trump say that they might hold a media company accountable for doing something that's actually

wrong.

I get a lot of reactions from media people saying that this is silencing of media, whether

it's Jimmy Kimmel and all the things that made him upset, whoever it might be, there's

people out there that say, a media has to be untouchable in order for media to be able

to do its job.

And that's not even remotely true, honestly, it's not, you have to have some level of accountability

across the board for everybody, especially these media companies who don't seem to care

if they report lies or the truth, if they use narratives to spin opinion, et cetera,

et cetera.

There is a moment when these companies will absolutely go, you know, beyond whatever

line they're supposed to not cross and do something highly illegal.

And this feels like that moment.

It feels like that instance where you put the life of a military individual in jeopardy

by needing to report something quickly that was leaked to you, that shouldn't have been

leaked to you.

You caused a lot of issues that you didn't need to cause for reasons I can't even really

understand.

To be honest, if I were within that company and being told that we were getting this

leaked information during an ongoing military campaign, it would have been obvious.

The most people in a room who have any level of media training whatsoever, even none.

I imagine at this point, it would be obvious to people with zero media training that they

should sit on that story that they shouldn't talk about that or discuss that at all until

they know definitively that the US military campaign is over.

And yet they didn't do that because they don't care.

All right.

Other things out there.

I want to play this.

This is President Trump talking about the Easter egg hunt at the White House.

I like this.

This is totally different, but I couldn't help it.

He mentioned how much lower prices are on eggs now compared to what they were.

There are so many things that you forget that are successes for this president that media

was obsessed with that they then stopped talking about.

The price of eggs right now is 250 per dozen at a high.

It was over six bucks per dozen of eggs, which was a terrible price and a Biden egg price,

etc.

That people complained about.

But Trump's in office now prices are 250 and people don't want to talk about this.

President Trump brought it up yesterday at the White House while celebrating Easter.

I thought this was pretty fun.

When I first got elected, my first news conference with the fake news, a lot of fake news here today.

But I had a news conference and the first question, what are you going to do about eggs, sir?

I said, what's wrong with eggs?

I just got this.

The second day in office had a news conference and they were screaming at me.

What am I going to do about eggs?

Then I said, well, tell me what's wrong with eggs.

The price was so high.

It was four times higher than it was a year before.

I said, well, that sounds like a problem.

Let me think about it.

And Brook Rollins, our great secretary of agriculture, she got involved.

We all got involved.

They didn't want me, as you know, just last year, it's hard to believe.

They didn't want me to order eggs for the Easter egg roll, the Easter egg hunt that we have here every year.

They wanted me to use plastic.

I said, I'm not using plastic.

We'll get it solved.

And within a short period of time, eggs came down.

They came down 40%, 50%.

And by the time we got there, we had so many eggs.

We didn't know what to do with them.

I love so much of this.

I know this seems weird.

And you have an Easter bunny standing behind the president, like a guy in an Easter bunny costume.

Just sort of like looking right, I can't see what his actual face is doing, his blank expression on the costume with the smile on it.

He's just turning his head back and forth like, yeah, we're talking about eggs right now, but he's right.

This is true.

Our prices were six bucks.

Now, as I said, they're 250.

They're down a tremendous percent compared to what they were before.

Which it's just, it's amazing to think about how those successes are no longer the focus of media,

because they're not beneficial to the current narrative.

Let's play one other thing.

This is not President Trump.

This is an assistant attorney general talking about the likelihood that Mamdani is breaking some laws with his racial equity plan that expressly prioritizes black and brown New Yorkers above white New Yorkers.

This seems bad from a racial standpoint.

Let's play a little bit of this.

And while today's true cost of living measure confirms that the affordability crisis touches every corner of our city,

we know that these effects are not applied evenly.

So often it is black and brown New Yorkers who are hit the hardest.

This preliminary racial equity plan is the first step in developing a whole of government approach to tackling that reality.

It is a plan that lays out these first steps to solve decades of neglect and discrimination.

And it places the work of 45 city agencies within a singular framework.

Yeah, let's do everything we can to not benefit to harm white people and to do it at the, you know, benefit.

We claim the benefit of black and brown people.

This is not racist.

This is somehow a racial equity plan.

The assistant attorney general for civil rights reacted this harm at Dylan by saying that sounds fishy and illegal.

I'm going to review that that sounds like that could be bad because here's the thing I've said about this before and I'll say it again.

Politicians need to say the quiet part out loud in the race discussion and not just do the thing that would probably be illegal and bad.

And I'm not encouraging them to do it.

But it's so funny that they need the political points when so they talk about the thing that's evidently racist.

Like they just roll out there and look at how to be fine society today.

They're totally okay with this.

People like this take that white people are terrible and everybody else has been harmed by them and deserves to be a treated better now.

And who cares if it hurts people that look a certain way because of how they look.

This is somehow equity and better and fair because of whatever blank we think is going on in society that may or may not be happening.

But I love how often they actually say that out loud.

Katanji Brown Jackson was in the news somewhat recently last week for some of the crazy stuff she said.

She happens to be a black woman.

She's also of course a Supreme Court justice.

The reason that anyone would die race and sex to her role in the Supreme Court is because President Biden who put her up who nominated her said he needed to find a black woman in multiple interviews.

When he was asked who he was going to give the next Supreme Court justice seat to.

And it's that moment where you just looked at like, why would you say that?

I know why you're doing it.

I know all the political reasons and whatnot that you're doing these things in the narrative that you're trying to continue to prop up in our society.

But what's the need in saying it?

Most criminals, at least I guess the successful ones, I don't really talk about the crime that they're committing.

And they certainly don't talk about it publicly into a microphone and how important it is to commit the crime.

But the politicians do it all the time.

And they constantly do this version of look at me over here.

I'm so amazing while I'm doing something that's probably illegal because they think they're getting a political and that's how little they care about our society,

how little they care about me and you are even doing what's right.

This is not the goal of theirs.

The goal of theirs is to have political win, political win, political win, and to do it at the cost of whoever is in front of them, even if that's you,

even if that's most of society, as they often do things that don't benefit us at all in Washington DC.

All right, quick break, a lot more coming up.

He says it's a chicken and waffle remix.

I have some audio.

It's a little bit, not great.

The audio is not of the highest quality, but I want to play a little bit of this of the

guy very happily giving you his recipe for a guana and waffle, not chicken and waffle.

We are turning this giant iguana into delicious iguana waffles.

Let me show you how to make it.

Since iguanas were known as chicken of the trees.

Are they?

We put a spin on a classic dish.

Okay.

I bet you guys couldn't even tell the difference between Friday, Guana and fried chicken.

By the way, I'm going to stop it right there.

You see in the video as the guy is cooking me a guana, a giant iguana claw that looks nothing

like chicken.

So I feel like there's going to be a lot of signs that the thing you're consuming is not

actually chicken.

It is in fact, iguana, not just in the taste, but in the visual, but this sounds disgusting.

It sounds terrible.

And yet it's a typical Florida guy.

He's like, man, these iguanas are all over the place.

They're invading in a way that I don't like.

Let me not just try to take them out.

Let me go ahead and consume them and consume them with waffles.

I don't know if I had to eat iguana, I don't think I'd do it with breakfast food.

I think that I go a completely different road with this.

I think that I assume it's some sort of weird fear factory thing and I just eat it straight

up.

I don't try to mask it at all.

I just accept my fate and eat the thing and then I guess deal with the ramifications

of it, whatever they might be.

Another one out there, a South Florida man was arrested for staging a car crash so he

could file a fraudulent insurance claim.

Some people just file the claim.

They, you know, crash the car themselves, I guess, into their, their wallet, their house

into their garage or something.

I don't know how they do it.

I don't know how this works.

I can't make it better for you, but this guy went a step quite a bit further.

He went out in public.

He did the whole thing.

He made it a big giant stage event.

I think he even called police in so he'd have a police report and they very quickly realized

that it was all fake, that it wasn't real.

The vehicle actually sustained $12,000 worth of damage.

So it was absolutely a car that was crashed.

And then also I think he had a passenger that had said they had a neck injury, although

that part fell apart quite a bit when challenging it.

But the South Florida man apparently didn't stage it well enough.

There's not enough screeching tires and these sort of things that show that you're actually

trying not to create an impact with something that you crashed into.

It shows that you kind of slowly drove into it as opposed to a quickly.

And then as I said, with breaks and whatnot, but I love how easy it is to figure this

stuff out and how poor of an attempt it was by the guy to do it.

Because again, if you want to just call your insurance company and say you got an offender

vendor or something or you hit a poster, something somewhere, I think you can just do that.

I think you can just send them the information and say that you have the damage to the vehicle

and there's no police report and try to get paid and then your insurance goes up.

I don't think you actually need to stage the entire thing.

But who else?

Maybe that's different insurance company to insurance company.

I've never tried to commit this fraud.

So I don't actually know.

And then finally one last thing, a Naples man was accused of terror threats.

He was arrested after a day long standoff.

This is crazy.

60 year old Peter Hooker is the guy's name.

He was an apartment complex in Florida.

He said that he was threatening to kill, do bodily injury or conduct a mass shooting and

acts of terrorism, which is a felony.

After a long standoff, no one was hurt and eventually they apprehended this man.

Absolutely a piece of crap in one sense.

But also I imagine just another day at the office for Florida cops.

They're like, what are you responding to today?

Bill and Bill's like, man, I got to go to this apartment complex and wait for this guy

to surrender who says he's going to commit a terrorist act.

He's darn it.

Florida's got crazy people all over the place.

Quick break a lot more.

Craig Collins filling in on the data show.

This is the data show.

My name is Craig Collins filling in thrilled to be with you, D-Lash, Dana Lash, Radio

and X on Twitter.

Great ways to stay connected to her.

A woman in Los Angeles called for Waymo.

The vehicle showed up and then barreled through a drive through going the wrong way.

I find that hilarious first and foremost.

My favorite part though about the story is the woman still got in.

Like the AI piloted, anyone who doesn't know what these vehicles are, they don't have

drivers, computer piloted cars, driverless vehicles, so it went the wrong way through

a drive through.

I don't think anybody actually was impacted by that.

No cars were in any kind of accident.

The woman gets in with her son and then the son documents the experience of the waymo,

not starting off great.

I'll say it this way, if I called an Uber and a human driver drove the wrong way through

a drive through, while picking me up at a restaurant, I would call a different Uber.

I'd be like, I don't think this guy's ready to drive.

Apparently because it's a computer, the woman was like, that'll be fine.

So my mom ordered this Waymo, right?

And tell me why the Waymo don't went through the drive through the wrong way.

Way, way, you got to go through the drive through the other way.

My bad bro.

God, mom be safe.

You can't park here.

Yeah, mom be safe.

You can't park here.

Great responses to that too.

Mom still got in.

The kids still let her, I think that's a failure for the son as much as anybody else.

Again, if my mother were getting in a vehicle where someone just made a pretty obvious and

silly mistake, whether we're a computer or a human, I'd probably be like, you know what,

I want mom to actually show up to the place alive.

So we're going to go with another one.

We're going to move on from this one, but I love that that one viral more and more often.

I see these vehicles all over Houston with the crazy amount of like spinning additional

thing.

So those other things are for on the car.

Is it just supposed to make it look like more of a machine and not a man or all those spinning

lights and other things somehow beneficial?

I assume it's somehow beneficial to the car.

I haven't cared enough to look it up and I don't want to know because I already don't

like the idea of this.

I never want to be driven around by a robot.

I just don't personally, I'd rather drive myself or be driven by another human.

I'm not going robot.

That's just me.

I want to play other audio too.

This is an Irish guy who went viral on Instagram.

He is very excited about the Artemis to launch and the likelihood of additional astronauts

landing on the moon because I think he believes at some point in his lifetime, he's going

to live on the moon.

So I want to play this audio because I did like this as well.

We're going to start colonizing the moon by 2030 and the Irish have never got to colonize

anything before.

It's our turn.

They're going to start landing habitats that people can live on.

NASA, I present to you, moonies Irish back.

You're up there on the moon with your little astronaut soon on you.

You're feeling lonely.

It's time to get pissed.

NASA feed free to get taught you if you need any further information.

He can't wait this Irish guy to get drunk on the moon and that's probably my favorite

thing I've heard from anybody that went viral in a while because yeah, if let me just

say it this way, this is a way for me to reach across the ocean and to be friendly with

our neighbors, no matter where they are, North, Southeast and West, if we were to ever

live on the moon, if anybody were to ever actually put up habitats that that in my lifetime

or his were capable of doing it, I'll buy the first drink and I'd love to get hammered

on the moon with other people like that sounds amazing and probably also terrible because

if you ever felt like it was too difficult to say walk home or or do any sort of traveling,

even if you're in a waymo or something else after a night out drinking, I just think

of all the ways that could go uniquely bad on the moon compared to anywhere else, but

all right, quick break, a lot more Greg Collins filling in on the Danish show.

And now all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's quick five.

That's right, it's time for a quick five on the Danish show, D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio

and X on Twitter on great ways to stay connected to her.

Yes, I still think of it as both X and Twitter at Radio Craig's 8 if you want to follow me

and it shows that I still think of it as Twitter with how often I use the platform, but I'd

love more followers.

So darn it, I'm going to keep saying it.

Non-alcoholic champagne is on the rise.

This is not because say people who struggle with something like alcoholism still want

to get a sense of a taste for a product that has often been the main reason that non-alcoholic

beverages exist.

But a little while ago, Jen Zeeer specifically decided they wanted to drink the stuff just

because they don't want to drink alcohol.

Here's the question I have and I mean this legitimately, why?

I don't know how to say that different.

If you're not going to consume something that has alcohol in it, I feel like there are better

options.

And most people on social media who talk about non-alcoholic champagne describe it as

sad soda.

That's what they're describing it as because it's not as good as just having a different

carbonated beverage that exists in a mass quantity that doesn't have to mimic the taste of an

alcoholic beverage without the sweet, sweet deliciousness of alcohol.

I just, I don't get any part of this.

I think it's very odd.

I understand people who at the end struggle with things like alcoholism choosing to drink

some of these to help them cope with not drinking alcohol.

I don't know why so many young people are proud of doing something that's uniquely more

expensive than soda and also tastes way, way worse.

I saw a story about airlines cutting the price of long haul trips.

This is to encourage more people to fly, especially the longer trips we might take in our society.

Even as gas prices are up and the cost of flights are uniquely higher than maybe they're usually

going to be airlines are trying to combat that because empty flights don't benefit anybody.

So they're trying to lower the price on some of those trips.

I'd encourage you to take the longer flight.

You might not plan on taking mostly because you can go somewhere closer.

It'll be fine.

It'll be okay.

I do love that.

Archaeologists found a 2,100 year old bullet in Israel with sarcastic messages to enemies.

I thought this was kind of cool.

The archaeologist said that there was something written onto the message onto the 2,100 year

old bullet that seemed to be disparaging the people they were fighting.

And that was kind of uniquely funny.

I think it's sort of a crazy thing when we see it in our current society and saying people

carving messages and whatnot on the bullets, but if it's that old and all the people involved

or long gone, something about it feels different to me.

And especially if you're actually at war and writing something on your old version of

a bullet then.

But talk about a weird discovery for the archaeologist too.

To be finding some sort of, you know, demonstration of conflict from so long ago, be digging it up

to be interested in it, to see some writing on it.

And maybe in wonder, like, I wonder what that is.

I wonder how there's writing on it.

And then to find out it's just a guy making sarcastic jokes.

What about that makes me very happy because of who I am as a person that a potentially

sarcastic dumb joke could last 2100 years and come back as a thing that people talk about

later.

I find that to be uniquely hilarious.

And then finally, a New York City comedian has the quote, perfect solution for millennials

experiencing a midlife crisis.

He says that he's among people who are of a certain age.

I am 40 that are feeling this.

And his response is do something new, anything new, don't buy a brand new ridiculous vehicle.

Don't spend more money than you can or, you know, put some sort of decision into your

life that's going to make things worse for you.

Just pick up a hobby.

I do something new of any kind.

And you'll probably be happier and you'll have that rekindling feeling of being younger.

I love that.

That most people now apparently in their 40s are struggling with this thing that any older

generation is going to make fun of us for.
