Sorry about any technological issues that we might be having. Let's get right to one of the more interesting pieces of audio I found out there. This is President Trump, even though he's been talking a lot, of course, about the White House correspondence dinner, actually having a conversation about Iran, the latest there. This was with Fox, I think, well, talking about. The attempted assassination that happened over the weekend of him and anybody in his cabinet.

But here's Trump talking about the ongoing conflict with Iran and the likelihood that if we just hold out. for a few more days into a weeks. That the blockade that the Navy has created is so crippling to the economy of Iran that they'll fold more than they're willing to fold right now. I think the latest offer from Iran was to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and to refuse to have a conversation about their uranium enrichment or any of their nuclear program capabilities, which is, of course, the focus, one of the main focuses of the United States. But here we go.

But what you're referring to is that when. When you have lines of vast amounts of oil pouring through your system, If for any reason that line is closed because you you can't Continue to put it into containers or ships, which has happened to them. They have no ships because of the blockade. What happens is that line explode from within. mechanically and in the earth.

it something happens where it just explodes. And they say they only have about three days left before that happens. And when it explodes, you can never, regardless, you can never rebuild it the way it was. In other words, it will always be if you rebuild it, it's hard to rebuild it all, but it would only be about 50% of what it is right now.

So it's a very powerful thing that takes place.

Sort of having to do with nature. But when when that gets clogged at the end, in other words, when you have to turn it off because you have no place to store this oil, either put it on chips or storage tanks, which they are Just about Finish with. a very bad thing is going to happen.

So I think they're under pressure. I believe this as well. I believe that the naval blockade, which was the right move as opposed to some of the things that Trump had threatened to do on social media about bombing them back to the Stone Age, this is a tightening of their way of life. That will absolutely make the people, the higher-ups within Iran, who don't care about their own citizens, very, very upset. And the longer this goes on, the more leverage the United States has.

I firmly believe this to be true. I believe this to be the most valuable way to eventually get what we want. which would be obviously very good for our society and very bad for Iran. And hopefully the kind of thing that people acknowledge, that people say to themselves, look, this is the moment where our society actually succeeded or where our country succeeded to the degree that everybody on the left didn't see coming and claimed wouldn't happen and essentially was the biggest reason why people said that there shouldn't be a conflict at all, that we should be backing down, that we never should have done the thing that so many presidents before Trump said needed to be done, that you needed to handle the threat that was Iran, its nuclear capabilities, and just the amount of money that it sends to terrorist organizations throughout the world. But I very much hope.

And I guess what I'm trying to say is that the end result of all this is paid attention to, not by mainstream media, they'll refuse to do it, but by the everyday American. That they actually see the end results of this ongoing fight, this conflict, the reason that you paid $4 for gas instead of two. While I live in Texas, it's close to four instead of what it was, about two bucks just before any of this happened. And hopefully, that has value. Hopefully, you look at all that and say to yourself.

I'm actually happy that the end result is what it is compared to the stupidity of Biden's fight against oil and gas that caused our prices to go so high and everything, and gas prices to go so high. I do want to talk about security for the President of the United States, or just in general, the success of our security organizations. Cash Patel talked about this on Fox and Friends this morning. And some of the biggest questions being asked are. Was the White House correspondence dinner secure enough?

Having essentially one significant security checkpoint before a set of stairs that takes people from the upper lobby to the downstairs area where the dinner is taking place, where a tremendous amount of important political people are gathered together, just having that one choke point, is that good enough? Should there be a wider perimeter? Should there be more ways to stop people or at least check for certain things? I saw a lot of people who were guests of the White House. A correspondent center said no one really checked their ticket.

Now, granted, I'll add that a certain amount of these people are relatively famous.

So if you saw these people walking in, I'm not sure that security would just ignore someone they don't know at all. But anyway, here's Cash Patel talking about the security measures taken to protect the president and what may change. What they might do differently after the third attempted assassination of the current president of the United States. What about the MAGs? There was only one MAG.

that people had to walk through. That's the one we saw where he's running through. Any chance going forward we can put another one outside, maybe two of them outside, sweep the entire hotel if we're in this situation again? Look, that's a great question, and I think we are going to do it entirely differently. You heard the president say on Saturday night that we're going to do this again in short order, maybe in 30 days or so, and we're going to be ready for that.

The security posture, I imagine, is going to be completely different. I'll be working with the White House, with the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service, the Metropolitan Police Department, the FBI will be fully resourced for that event to assist in the security, and we will provide our input. That's the great thing about having this law enforcement team. I can call Mark Wayne and the White House and the interagency and say, hey, we got to do a couple of things differently. And we're already talking about it, and that's the good thing.

Yeah, I think that it probably should have been done differently before this. I mean, this is the third assassination attempt for the president. Of course, he was a candidate when this started, but you'd figure that security should be about as. As extreme as it possibly can be. And again, I'll say this just before we take a break.

Another reason why the ballroom at the White House with the security measures necessary to protect any part of the White House would be so much better than having events like this at locations outside of The White House itself. This is something that people will accuse Trump of orchestrating, which is insane and ridiculous, because it's such a definitive and valuable demonstration of the need for something like the ballroom that Trump has been trying to build and courts have been trying to stop him from building. It's just, of course, too convenient for some out there in the world of crazy conspiracy theorists that are on the left that pretend that they're the sane people, and the right are the people who come up with the conspiracy theories. All right, quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

Our partner's over at Preborn. A great organization out there saving lives without government money. They're doing this because people like you are generous. You can help pre-born reach their goal of 1,000 life-saving ultrasounds before Mother's Day. When a mother hears her baby's heartbeat, numerous studies show that the chance for that baby, the chance that that baby continues to live doubles, actually.

And they don't just stop there, they work with these mothers for the first two years of their lives, making sure that they get off on the right foot, have a strong foundation, and that they have success. And $28 is all it costs to provide an ultrasound. That's a dinner out. But you're saving a life instead with this $28. $140 helps rescue five babies.

And they're also the gospel leader for the pro-life movement.

So in 2025, they saved over 80,000 babies and they brought 10,000 women to Christ, which is great. All gifts are tax-deductible. Pre-born has a four-star charity rating, so you can give confidently. And you're seeing women, you're seeing women come to faith, you're seeing babies be saved. Join Preborn in their mission to sponsor 1,000 life-saving ultrasounds before Mother's Day.

It's time for a quick five on the Dana Show. D Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X on Twitter. A great ways to stay connected to her and all the awesome things that she and her team do. And social media producer Stevens is awesome at social media as well.

So check everything they're doing out at Radio Craig Z if you want to see what it's like to not have a producer, Steven, doing awesome stuff for you. 22 Sri Lankan monks. Were arrested. They were returning from Thailand, and I guess they had, quote, Incredibly powerful cannabis on them, and not just a little bit of it, 242 pounds. Sri Lankan monks were like, is this a problem?

Is this illegal? Are we not allowed to do this? The answer was, yeah, that's going to be an issue. But talk about a crazy story and also the need to then arrest these guys and then have them all in mug shots and things. Just uniquely odd as far as the story goes.

But a pretty big headline that's a lot of places already. 22 Buddhist monks arrested at an airport for having a ridiculous amount of, again, quote, very powerful weak. This isn't the weak stuff. They're obviously not okay with having stuff. I don't know what they're doing with this.

I wonder if they're going to use all of it. Part of me thinks. You bring it back. The other monks, this is how they do their certain version of we're okay with anything in society. We're mentally fine.

Don't worry about us. Pain doesn't exist. I feel like I've learned the secret to being a monk now after this story went as viral as it did. Are you a doomer? This could be somewhat of a political topic, but we'll go ahead and cover it like it's not.

A new survey asked people if they were all doom and gloom about life. About everything, a worst case scenario version of a projection for the future for them or anyone around them. And more and more young people are saying that they are, in fact, what they would believe to be called a doomer, someone who's just expecting bad things in their personal life or just in the world in general. This is probably one of the many reasons that we see so many bad stats out of young people, what they think is okay in our society, like political violence, totally fine. The ends justify the means to them.

If you believe you're doomed, if you believe there's no. No hope for you and your life. A lot of bad things come from that. Of course, it's not true. Of course, it's illogical for so many people to think this.

And I think that the obvious extension of that topic. is the expectation versus the reality of life. I think there's a lot of young people who think they're going to get rich with their social media page. And when that doesn't happen, and you have to potentially work a nine to five to buy things that you want or live with mom and dad forever, that makes a lot of people very upset. And of course, that's not a good thing.

And we're seeing more and more of it, but I digress. It is what it is. Also, today is National Pretzel Day.

So, this, you can't be doom and gloom about this. 32% of people love pretzels and the salt on pretzels so much that they lick the bottom of their pretzel bag if they buy pretzels in a store. 32%. of people said they do this, that is obscenely high. As a number goes, but I'm not going to poo-poo this.

I'm not going to doom and gloom this, because why would you do that? I've never done this myself. I've never licked the bottom of the bag of anything because I do think that there's a certain level of desperation that comes through there that I never want to have. But some people do.

Some people are totally fine with this. I think that's pretty interesting. All right, that's it for now. Quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

Terms apply. This is the Dan. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about.

Two things I probably haven't mentioned a lot of: Melania Trump firing back at Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Kimmel, who made a joke on his television show that's. Not even remotely funny, so I don't know why you refer to it as a joke, but people do, where he said that Melania Trump looked like a widow. meaning that essentially he was predicting that President Trump would be killed. Which then someone actually attempted to kill the president over the weekend at the White House correspondence dinner. This is Fox News reading what.

Uh the First Lady of the United States put up on social media saying how unfunny Kimmel is, but also how horrible the things he says are because he's calling for the death of her family member. In his jokes that he tells on his television show, that's not supposed to be political and yet is obviously so political, the ratings for it are terrible. Here we go. Right now, the First Lady, Melania Trump, apparently calling on ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel. This appears to be in response to a segment that Kimmel aired days before the White House correspondence dinner.

In that segment, Kimmel said the First Lady had the glow of a, quote, expectant widow. And now we have this response, the first lady writing on X the following: quote: Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. It is. His monologue about my family is not comedy. His words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC's leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious behavior at the expense of our community? End quote. I love the fact that the first lady went out there and said what she did about Kimmel.

Some people will say that. That Trump, who also said something about Kimmel actually calling into Fox, or I think he actually just put it up on Truth Social, and they read it on Fox. But nonetheless, some people will say that this is trying to silence somebody. But truthfully, what kind of human on a platform that was made famous by people like Johnny Carson for avoiding a need to talk about politics and believing that forcing politics into conversations on that platform was similar to thinking that you're too important, that you're so valuable yourself that people can't think without you. Carson crapped all over the idea of having a political talk show be a late night talk show, and yet that's all we have now.

And so, whether it's Melania or President Trump saying that Kimmel obviously deserves to be fired by the standard that used to matter in our society, he evidently does. But again, people will say that this is freedom of the press. Or whatever it is, which is just beyond idiotic when you think about what these things were designed to be. These late night talk shows, these late night talk shows, excuse me, and what they actually are now. I also want to play this.

This is a question asked to Caroline Levitt. Um at a press conference earlier today. In which the reference that people believe uh that the attack on Trump was staged. The left hates conspiracy theories, except when they come up with them. They they claim that the right is is Obsessed with certain conspiracy theories, and uh-oh, watch out for your uncle, who's a conservative voter, and the things he learns on social media sites like X.

And yet they constantly bring up these crazy, ridiculous things where there's so much proof that they're wrong, and yet they don't care. But they're claiming that a lot of people are claiming. That the attempt to kill the president was staged by the president to get his ballroom through any sort of court block that might exist, which again is insane and crazy. But here we go. Disinformation and misinformation online.

There will be bite-sized clips that will go viral to the point where there are Americans in this country that believe that what happened Saturday night was staged. How does this White House tackle that with social media companies out there, whether it's X, Facebook, Instagram? How do they work with these companies to make sure that doesn't get out of control? It's certainly a good question, Aisha. I don't have tangible answers for you on what we're doing with social media companies, if anything at all.

What I will say is: I already have to stop it right there. I love that answer. I don't love the fact that people can be radicalized by things that they see and the way that certain information is controlled and. The political machine that is our mainstream media. But I love the idea that, unlike the Biden administration during COVID, when they were trying to silence and censor anything that they deemed disinformation, that the Trump administration isn't going to do anything to tell the social media companies what to do about their job because that's not actually the route to success.

And let's let Caroline Levitt continue because the real way to defeat disinformation and misinformation, whatever you want to call it, when it actually exists in our society, is transparency, not trying to shut people up on social media platforms that are convincing people of terrible things. It's very important to us that we get the truth and the facts about this case and any case out there as quickly as possible to dispel some of that crazy nonsense that you do see running rampant online. And I think the Department of Justice and the FBI thus far have done a good job of disseminating the truth and the facts about this alleged attempted assassin, the perpetrator in this case. And I understand he'll be arraigned in court very soon. You all see that.

The Department of Justice will be giving a briefing and an update later today.

So as far as we're concerned, just providing maximum transparency and hopefully people. Will believe the truth rather than the lies and the conspiracies that so often do go crazy on social media. I talk about this a lot, whether it's when I fill in on this show or whatever I do with my day job, which I'm a radio host at a Houston at KSEV Radio. There, I have a show from six to seven o'clock every night as people are driving home. And a terrible high-traffic city in our society, and a very left city, actually, at that.

And one of the things that I think is so important is assuming that you're not an idiot. Whoever you are listening to this show or any show, because the left seems to want their people, their side of the aisle, to be morons. To not look into the accuracy of certain information, to essentially expect someone to be incapable of checking for themselves. To see, to do your own research, to see if something is accurate. And I love when people don't do that.

And right now, the Trump administration is saying the last thing they're going to do is control the narrative to a degree that silences the insane people out there instead of combating them. It was even, I think, Jon Stewart, and I've quoted this before, I think even on the show. Who said during the craze, like Kanye West? Semitic rants that he went on: that the best way to fight certain ideas is to give them their time to address them, to talk about them, to interview Kanye West, and to figure out where he's misguided, where he's wrong, and confront it. Even if you don't convince him, you put that conversation out there for the rest of the world to see.

The left oftentimes says they just want to shut people up. They want to silence people. They want anyone and everyone who disagrees with them to go away as quickly as possible, which just makes you more curious as to what someone was trying to say. What information were they trying to give to us, and why that information was deemed to be dangerous by people that want to be in charge of everything. I think that this is really what matters.

Um and so often Whether it's the manifesto from this person that was trying to kill anyone he could within the Trump administration and, of course, targeting the president the most, whatever it might be, putting all this data out there for us to actually absorb it and consume it is the right way for our society to get to the place it needs to get to. And a point I was making earlier on the show from a Bill Maher clip that went viral where a guest seems like a deranged, left-leaning, bubble-living lunatic. And even Bill Maher is addressing some of those things. But so often, just believing that the other side of a conversation doesn't have ill intent. Because I think that's another roadblock oftentimes to any conversation I'd try to have with someone on the left.

Is the minute that they hear that I'm a conservative or a political talk show host or whatever version of an identity they add to me, then they refuse to listen to anything I say as if it's all gotta be a lie. And there's something insane about that. Um, it doesn't mean that people don't lie to you, of course, they do, they lie to you constantly, all the time, uh, in fact. But making sure that you're capable of checking what's true and what's false. Is so much more important than assuming someone needs to shut up because they can't possibly have a conversation with you because they'll change or warp your mind just by saying things out loud that you can easily find to be untrue.

All right, one last thing I do want to play: Anna Navarro went viral from The View today because of something she said about. hoping that gun control Is the end result of someone trying to storm and kill members of the Trump administration? This is truly sick. Other way you go about this. And almost hoping that the fear of of their own individual lives being potentially at risk.

On an evening, causes people to do something that would take away from our First Amendment rights, or excuse me, our Second Amendment rights. And even more important than that, Now, one of the ways that this individual was stopped. was that Secret Service was able to stop him with force. And so taking force out of our society in some extent doesn't make us safer. It makes us the opposite.

But here we go. But you know, now that so that room was full of some of the most important political leaders in the country right now.

Now they know, they've lived it in their own flesh, the fear that our schoolchildren go through.

Now they know what it's like to have to jump under a table the way that school children jump under a desk. And we are a country. That is vulnerable to this. We have now seen shootings in malls and churches, in temples, and Walmart in baseball. I still don't understand how Congress took no action after Sandy Hook, after 20 children between the ages of six and seven were killed.

But maybe now, That they have felt the fear themselves, they will do something. What I don't understand is how I don't even need to hear the audience clap on the far left, leaning the view in New York City, that show. Here's the thing: we need harder targets. We need places. Look, the people survived the White House correspondence dinner because there was a security checkpoint that did take this individual down very quickly.

If you want to protect schools, make them harder targets. Don't make them softer. I've said this several times, and I'll say it again. Former military, hire them to sit outside one entrance point for a school and make sure every other entrance point is closed once kids go into that building and the one entrance point be guarded by two people with guns. Two heroes that are willing to protect our society in no more problem.

The cowards and lunatics and crazy people of the world that try to harm kids in schools wouldn't do it if they thought they'd fail. The only reason that we see these things in our society is these targets are soft. And we need to make them harder. We need to make them less accessible to deranged lunatics. And then, boom, problem solved.

The left knows this, they won't talk about it. Instead, they say this crap. Instead, they try to tell you that they hope that fear, fear that they stoke and pay for themselves, will be the kind of thing that eventually gets what they want. in our society. This is why they cheer on these people who do these horrible things, and why we're seeing more and more data, especially of young liberals, saying it's totally fine.

It's absolutely okay, it's because this is actually what they want.

Now, but they won't say that part out loud. All right, a quick break, although some of them actually do. A quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana show. As we roll towards uh Headlines, and as we do so, the folks who make the program possible, it's the people over at Bernagon.

I've told you before, I carry, I have no problem using lethal force. I also realize, too, that maybe sometimes you go to places where you are not permitted to carry, private property, local or municipal restrictions, whatever it is. And so, in that instance, You need to be able to diversify and have some means of protecting yourself. And this is where a burner gun comes in. There's different models.

The one you need to look at is the Burna CL compact launcher, roughly the size of an iPhone, easy target acquisition. Burna shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. Easy to use, highly effective, no permits, no background checks. You order it online and it sends right to your front door, made right here in the US of A. And when you compare it to standard stun guns or tasers, they have maybe one or two rounds.

The Burna gun has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge.

Right, it's time for Florida Man on the Dana Show, D Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X on Twitter. Great ways to stay connected to her and all the awesome stuff they do in social media. Her and her team, that's including producer Steven. Homestead police are investigating a video of an officer allegedly racing another driver. This is only something that you do in Florida.

You roll up to a cop, you got a fancy car, and you're like, hey. You think that I can beat you in a street race? And the cop's like, we don't know. Maybe we should try this out.

So apparently, some video might demonstrate that a red sports car and a vehicle marked Homestead Police. uh were uh racing each other. I wonder if it's gonna turn out to be a thing where some Florida idiot, not an actual police officer, uh made their car look like it was a Florida police car. in order to race the other vehicle and it's not actually the thing it looks like. I I don't know.

I haven't heard that per se. But a part of me immediately when I saw this story believed that that was possible because it's Florida, so you never know anything can happen. Another story I saw out there: a woman who was. Um intoxicated to twice the legal limit. Of what is supposed to be acceptable when you're behind the wheel of a car was pulled over when her Tesla was driving on autopilot and she was asleep in the passenger side, part of the vehicle.

This is crazy to me that the woman, a 37-year-old named Kimberly Brown, was like, Ah, I'm too drunk to drive. You handle it, Tesla. I'm gonna sleep over here. And then just goes to bed as Tesla starts to drive her home. Police officers who pulled over the vehicle said this is inherently dangerous.

It happened at 2 o'clock. Tesla is not capable of driving you drunk and home. This is not a good move, not what you should be doing. And the woman will face the typical charges. of a DUI arrest.

I think that this is probably happening in places well beyond Florida, but I do fear the day when Tesla claims that this is something they can do. They're like, ah, it'll be fine. Just go ahead and get hammered and then let Tesla drive you home because a whole lot of times we're seeing a whole lot of bad things happen for any of those robo-taxis that are out there in the world, too.

So, this is just more of that, to say the very least, about a person arrested because, again, not something that you're allowed to do. Another Florida man story I saw out there, a Florida man named Mac Hoover, who is 40, faces arson charges because he tried to burn down, quote, a homeless camp. He said, Y'all are going to burn before he lit a fire that then took over a significant area. Um and Palm City, Palm Bay City Police said that this individual was trying to clear out a habitat for humanity uh store an area around it uh because of the amount of homeless people who lived there. He said it's really, really difficult for people to put out these large brush fires.

So it's inherently dangerous, not just for the people that the 40-year-old man was trying to harm, but for anybody else. and the area uniquely reckless. But the guy thought this would be a great way to clear up a neighborhood to get people out of an area he didn't want them in. which is, of course, horrible and terrible and also very much Florida thinking. The reason I laughed there is because this is about as Florida as you can get with the I know how to fix this problem that I don't like.

I'm just going to light everything on fire. And then hopefully, hope for the best there that things go away. One last Florida story that I thought was interesting. Not necessarily a Florida man story, but a Florida story nonetheless. 31 sloths that were meant for a Florida slothereum, which I didn't know was a thing.

Died in transit to the destination because they put them in a place that was not supposed to house animals at all. The sloths, which I think this actually happened in 2024 and 25, even though it's becoming a more viral story now for some reason, in April of 2026. But people are are discovering that you can't just leave animals wherever you want. That's not going to work out well. If you put them in a caged environment that's not necessarily air controlled for sloths to survive, That bad things happen.

But the real headline to me is that there's a thing called a slothereum, and that's somewhere now in Florida, even if they're not as many animals as they thought they'd have there. All right, quick break, a lot more. Craig Holland's filling in on the Danish show. As we move, the folks who helped make the program possible.

A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. Fernando Mendoza was the number one draft pick in the NFL draft last week at IU. He goes to the Las Vegas Raiders, and he's already donating some of his money to charity. This is a great story: $500,000 to National MS Society. Mendoza said he wants to help try to speed up.

A world where we're free of multiple sclerosis. Certainly, someone who I think is going to be not only very good in the world of the National Football League, but also a valuable face of an organization, face of the league potentially, because of the feel-good stories that often surround him. Not trying to get too far ahead of it. The man needs to prove himself in a football field that he's talented to the degree that he looked like he was in college in order to have an impact. But I thought that was a cool story that's already coming out of the NFL draft.

Also, in the world of the NBA, I thought this was interesting. Victor Wembanyana Wembanyama is one of the best players easily in the National Basketball Association. He's very important to the Spurs. He's someone that helped them win and take a commanding 3-1 lead in their playoff. Series that they're playing.

None of that really matters, though, for the sake of this conversation. If you don't know anything about the NBA, if you're not paying attention anymore, and I don't blame you, pretty woke organization. But he got a concussion for falling onto the floor in a bad way. You don't see that a lot in the NBA, the version of an injury he had. He was talking about how the Spurs did a great job of caring for him, how doctors told him when he was ready to play, and he stopped just short of saying what the problem was.

Although it sounds very much like the NBA got involved and tried to prevent him from being out of court somewhere. Here's what I think is really interesting about this though. During the press conference where he's asked a question by media about this, his microphone cuts off. Because the NBA is like, shut up, shut up, don't talk about this. I thought that was pretty interesting.

Here I want to play some of that audio. I don't wanna get into I won't get into the details. I don't want it to become a distraction. Ask me again after uh the end of the season, but Think about it, sir. All right, doctors.

Especially on the spurs. But the doctors all around, they were great, took great care of me. But the way the situation was handled was very disappointing. You know, not on the spurs again. Who was that?

Tell us, Victor. And then his microphone cut off and you can't hear anything he's saying. His mouth is moving, he's looking at the press, he's saying words. I am not talking about the actual, and then look, it cuts out. That was a cut out to where they're going to go somewhere else.

How strange that the NBA press conference, where Victor Wembanyama is probably going to say he's not so happy with the league, that they go ahead and cut and move to other things. This is the same league that is so woke now that it's lost a bunch of fans who grew up. People like me, 40 years old, grew up during Michael Jordan's heyday when you wind up being probably so interested in the NBA that it's your favorite sport to watch. And now, in a society where you have these crazy political messages written on the floor of courts during certain times or just in general, you're like, how do I watch this and forget about the political discourse that exists in our society and just enjoy? Like, how do I escape?

which is what sports is supposed to be. And then you also have the NBA trying to hide something. I just thought that was so interesting. That he's trying to say that the doctors within the league. We're not as good as the doctors with the Spurs or his own personal team, and more and more professional athletes have their own personal health teams that usually tell them not to participate in sports, not the opposite.

People take so much more time off than they used to. But I just thought that was something else. That the NBA was so unapologetic in hiding the criticism of their league from one of their marquee players. Quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Danish show.

All right, folks.

So I want to tell you about something that actually works. This is the world's number one expanding garden hose and their newest upgrade. It's the pocket hose ballistic. I like anything that has the word ballistic after it. I don't have time for cheap, stupid equipment that fails after one season.

I am done fighting with it. I'm done with the kinks, Eric Swalwell. I'm done with the tangles. I'm done with the leaks. I'm done with all of it.

It's a waste of money. It's enraging.

So that's why. Pocket hose ballistic. That's why you need to have this thing because it's built different. I could beat somebody to death with this. It's made, it's reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer.

Now, you don't know what that is, but you do know what it's been used in before: bulletproof vests.

So, that means, my friends, the strength is real, real durability, no nonsense. It's not going to mess up your garden, it's not going to like tie a knot around you. If you're tired of replacing your cheap hose every year, this is your fix. The ballistic is lightweight, it's super easy to handle. And I like what comes with it, it comes with the pocket pivot.

So, no more fighting the spigot. And ladies, it's gold where it moves, you move, you move, it moves. It's so simple, it's smart, you're done for a limited time. When you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you're going to get that free. You see it right here: 360-degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle.

D Lash, Jana Lash Radio, and X Twitter. Great ways to stay connected to her. Zombie worm was bought out by scientists. This is a real story. 24,000-year-old zombie worm, as they're calling it, apparently, not only was successfully brought back to life by scientists, but it then immediately started procreating.

Have we learned nothing in this society? All the different, at least from the Jurassic Park movies, if not also from things like COVID, that maybe science shouldn't do everything science is capable of doing. But the zombie worm apparently started making babies. And then scientists thought maybe this is a bad idea. Not before, unfortunately.

But this story was viral a lot of places because again, it's the kind of thing that makes you beg us to have any sort of rational thought. before we do some stuff.

Now, what time of day is the time that you're going to have the artist's food craving? According to these same scientists, who revive zombie worms 3.42 p.m. Is the time where you're going to be the hungriest for terrible food, for things you shouldn't eat, because you just want a snack, man. You're just in the tail end of your workday, and you'd like to have some chips or something before you go back to your everyday life. And then maybe eventually Nitozempic to fix you from these cravings.

But 342, it's a warning. I'm not doing anything to help you get over them, I'm just telling you it exists. And finally, one other quick story that I liked a lot. We survived the death of the many. Is the nickel next?

That's the question people are asking. The answer might be yes, and I think we'll probably be okay. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana show. Lots of places can expose you to identity theft.
