Hot take! You can disagree with someone and not hate them. I know, really groundbreaking stuff. But lately, that line seems blurry because hate is rising across communities in all kinds of ways, and Jewish communities are getting a lot of it right now. You don't have to agree with people, you just have to not be awful.
The Blue Square is a simple way to say, I'm with you, and I don't tolerate hate of any kind. Go to bluesquarealliance.org, get a pin, share it, and stand up. This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in D Lash, Dana Lash Radio, an ex. A great way to stay connected to her, Facebook, all the places.
You can go all the places to find Dana and the very, very talented human that she is. Or at Radio Craig C. If you want a far less talented human to follow on social media, that would be me. President Trump bodied a reporter at the Lincoln Memorial. This was hilarious.
I do like this probably quite a bit. Before I play that, though, let's play some job numbers because job numbers are actually quite good, too.
So while some in media places and on the left are trying to tell you that everything's terrible, that none of the promises that Trump made while he was trying to get elected have come true. Gas prices being up, et cetera, et cetera, are bad. While that stuff is happening, they're ignoring all the other things that might actually be saying that some stuff is going well. Here we go with that. The big job jobs report for April.
65,000 expected. Nay, nay, nay. We are much stronger. 115,000, 115. And last month, upward revision from 178 to 185.
These are good numbers. These are really good numbers is what they're saying there on CNBC because they are actually really good numbers and they mean great things for us and for you and for everybody else out there in the world.
So let's harp on some of the good things happening because it seems impossible for mainstream media to tell you any of those stories. All right, let's do this. President Trump, as I said, bodied. Reporter at the Lincoln Memorial. Pretty funny.
Uh to have what Trump thinks are stupid questions asked to him. And for him to then tell reporters that these are, in fact, stupid questions, I'll never get sick of this every time it happens. Here we go. Why focus on all these projects right now? You know why?
Because I want to keep our country beautiful and safe. Beautiful also. This place was a disgusting place. It was Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and we had a terrible disgust. I don't know, you probably don't see dirt.
But I do. And you walk down this pond. If you would have walked down, they'll tell you better than anybody. They had to take 11 or 12 truckloads of garbage out of that lake, out of that water, and sat there for years like that. And that's not what our country is about.
Our country is about beauty, cleanliness, safety, great people, not a filthy capital. It's such a stupid question you ask. We're fixing up. The reflecting pond to the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and you say, Why are you fixing it up? Because you can understand dirt maybe better than I can, but I don't allow it.
This is one of the worst reporters. She's with ABC Fake News, and she's a horror show. She's saying, Why would you bother fixing this up? Why would I bother taking 11 or 12 truckloads of filth out of the water in front of the Lincoln Monument? That's what made our country great.
Beauty made our country, people made our country great. A question like that is a disgrace to our country. I love everything about that. I love the, how dare you even ask this question, you son of a, you know what? This is the verbal version of slapping somebody with the back of your hand and saying, how dare you even show up here with this being a thing you want to talk about?
Because, and in that moment, he's right. Uh the media places are desperate to just shape anything he does is terrible. It doesn't matter what he does. If he put on his pants the wrong way, they'd want to talk about that and how that makes him a dictator, et cetera, et cetera.
So, again, I just think that's kind of amazing that you have Trump going that road and essentially attacking the reporter the way he does, because he's really, really good at that. He is someone, I think, who does a wonderful job at crapping all over the stupid things that people say and do. And people say and do a lot of stupid things. Let's play this. This is also Marco Rubio.
I played a little bit of this audio earlier in the show. About him talking about Iran, about some of the overnight maneuvers that Iran was partaking in. He said this this morning.
So, this is important. We're expecting a response from them today, is also mentioned here. And I know that the President has said that Iran wants to make a deal. We hope they want to make a deal, taking in the reality of the situation they're in, and not continue to offer deals that are laughable to us. And allow us or force us to keep waiting for the next deal to come along.
Well, we should know something today. I mean, we're expecting a response from them. We'll see what the response entails. The hope is it's something that it can put us into a serious process of negotiation. Obviously, we've seen the reporting overnight that Iran is established or trying to establish some Agency that's going to control traffic in the straits.
That would be very problematic. That would actually be unacceptable. The normalizing of their controlling of an international waterway is both illegal and it's just something that's unacceptable. And the world has to start asking itself, what is it willing to do if Iran tries to normalize a control of an international waterway? I think that's unacceptable.
But we're expecting a response from them today at some point. We have not received that yet as in the last hour, but perhaps that will come. Their system is still highly fractured and a bit dysfunctional as well.
So that may be serving as an impediment. I hope it's a serious offer. I really do. Yeah, we all hope it's a serious offer. I think the biggest lesson that the world can learn right now.
Is that if Iran wants to abuse so significantly its potential ability to control the Strait of Hormuz, what would they possibly do? With a nuclear weapon, if they were ever to gain one? What would that world look like if we have this much trouble in this way with something that's far less serious than that obstacle would be? Even though it is serious, because control of the Strait of Hormuz has demonstrated to the world that it impacts a lot of people in a lot of ways. China is quite upset.
About what's been going on between Iran and the United States. And the biggest reason why is because it's hurting China. It's hurting their economy because of what's going on with the Strait specifically. And so I just can't imagine. That people can't take a couple steps when looking at these stories and say, all right, maybe this is why the U.S.
did what they did. Because um Iran is so intent on wielding such um Over, uh, you know, over-estimated amounts of influence, uh, ridiculously uh trying to do anything it can to serve its purpose all the time to a degree that doesn't match its actual capabilities, its actual power. And the only thing they have is trying to contest the control of the strait of Hormuz. Um, and part of the reason why that's all they have is us. is conservatives, is this President deciding that we're going to get involved before anything gets as bad as it possibly could.
And again, this regime actually acquires the capability of threatening the world in a different way. The Virginia Supreme Court has rejected, or a excuse me, the Virginia Supreme Court has rejected a, I said it right, a redistricting effort in Virginia, probably something that you've been paying attention to to some extent. I do think some people are misunderstanding a portion of it, though. Um because I get calls at KSEV Radio in Houston, Texas, where I work, from listeners who seem to think, especially since I live in Texas, that what happened here is going to essentially allow people in Virginia, politicians in Virginia, to do the same thing there. Texas was redistricted.
Recently, and one of the biggest complaints is that it's against the Virginia Constitution to do this the way they're doing it. Essentially, within the Constitution of the state, it says that in order to redistrict, you have to be you have to bring up the idea before one election and then after another election. And because of early voting and all the things that Democrats seem to love so much, The argument in court was whether or not we were actually after an election or whether an election is currently going on in Virginia, which the Supreme Court there in that state said it was. And here's my favorite part of the argument. I'll just say this before I play some audio of just the simple announcement of the decision.
My favorite argument that I heard Democrats make in Virginia is that the election is a single day. That's actually something they said. In a courtroom in front of people. And I wish that were true. I think a lot of conservatives desperately wish that that were true, that we didn't have a whole lot.
Of mail-in balloting and early voting and all the stuff we have now, regardless of if it's convenient in some ways to some people, I think by and large, sacrificing that in order to have a truly secure election matters more to a lot of people. And so, having a one-day, you gotta show up at some point on this day and vote. Maybe we make it a national holiday so everybody gets the day off of work, but then that's it. You can't go anywhere else, you can't do anything else.
Well, I'm kidding about that. You gotta do this, you gotta get this done. And then, boom, we know who the winner is by that evening. We can do this for the powerball and the mega millions. We should be able to do it for our elections, and yet we can't.
And the biggest reason we can't is all the arguments people make about how convenient it is to have a system that's more easily abused. And I'm not saying that that means that military men and women who are fighting abroad can't vote. I will accept some version of mail-in balloting, but predominantly, by and large, this country should vote for the president on a single day. Um, in the places in which we live, and also prove, of course, that you're a citizen in order to do that. By and large, that would be a much better thing than the system we have now.
And it was just amazing to hear the Democratic position on the potential overturning of their redistricting effort as being unconstitutional by the state's constitution, as being it's just one day, we're just talking about one day and the election's over. That's crazy. And would potentially be true if they let Republicans, conservatives get what they want in the world of our elections. But here's a little bit of Fox News announcing this decision, which will probably be challenged, might get to the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court might make a totally different decision on this one than they did in Texas.
They might say that the Constitution in that state disallows something that was allowed to happen in Texas. It'll confuse a lot of liberals, a lot of morons out there, I'll say, but it might just be the exactly correct decision. We'll see. I can't predict the future. I'm just curious if that's where it will go.
And they wasted a lot of money to attempt to redistrict in the first place in Virginia, like hundreds of millions of dollars when you factor in all the advertising for people to vote the way that they inevitably claimed they did. But anyway, the thing that is more important to me about that is that at the end of that whole process, they might be out $100 million plus dollars and have nothing to show for it.
So do they double down? Are they the drunk people in Vegas who decide that they're going to win their money back if they just keep going? But here is the Fox News announcement of this decision. I just figured I'd play this for context since it happened earlier today. Welcome back.
We do have some breaking news coming out of the Virginia Supreme Court that I wanted to share here with you now. As we're learning today, they struck down a voter-approved Democratic congressional redistricting plan, delivering another major setback to the party in a nationwide battle against Republicans for an edge in this year's midterm elections. Here's what we know coming from the Associated Press: The court ruled that the state's Democratic-led legislature violated procedural requirements when it placed the constitutional amendment on the ballot to authorize the mid-decade redistricting.
Now, if you remember, voters narrowly approved the amendment on April 21st, but the court's ruling renders the results of that vote meaningless. Democrats had hoped to win as many as four additional U.S. House seats under Virginia's redrawn U.S. House map as part of an attempt to offset Republican redistricting done elsewhere at the urging of President Trump.
Now, that ruling, combined with a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, severely weakening the Voting Rights Act, has supercharged the Republicans' congressional gerrymandering advantage heading into this year's midterm election. I do love the way that they refer to it at the end, the gerrymandering advantage, because Democrats have been trying to have and have had a gerrymandering advantage for quite some time in this country. The last thing I will say about this topic, and I find it pretty interesting that there's a mention of the Voters' Right Act and the Supreme Court decision there, is that, yeah, if we stop drawing districts based on trying to create, quote, black districts or Hispanic districts and not just districts. That have American people in them, regardless of what they look like, will actually be doing something far better.
And just cookie-cutter the thing out, man. That's always been my desire. Just take an exact square. In most places, I know that there's going to be a couple cities that have a disproportionate amount of people in them. And so maybe you get two squares, but you don't get 17 different districts that all have squiggly lines that get into the city area where you have a dominant amount of Democratic voters, which is what you get in places like Illinois and places like California and New York that do not demonstrate the actual beliefs of the electorate, of the constituents.
It just finds a way. To create these ridiculous, crazy districts that shouldn't exist and probably won't exist. And yeah. If you look at a countrywide map of how people vote. And I know that this is not demonstrating the populace of certain cities, but if you just look at the country itself.
And the 2024 election, and blue or red, you have such a tremendous amount of red that from space, you would think the country was entirely red. You have to get closer to it to realize that there are these blue areas that have a disproportionate impact in our society and probably shouldn't, and obviously don't because of the Electoral College to an extent. But nonetheless, I think that we're so close to the thing the founding fathers actually wanted, especially with the weakening of the Voters' Right Act and how it was abused, not how it was intended to be used, and also decisions like this out of Virginia. All right, we'll take a break. A lot coming up.

But somehow we've turned disagreement into a personality and hate into something people are way too comfortable with. And it's not just happening in one place. Hate is rising across communities in different ways, and Jewish communities are getting hit especially hard right now. And hate doesn't just stay in one lane, it spreads.
So, even if you think this isn't your issue, give it a minute. You don't have to agree with people, you just have to decide you're not okay with hate. That's it. The blue square is a simple way to say that out loud: go to bluesquarealliance.org, get a pin, share it, or don't, but at least don't pretend this isn't happening.

That's right, it's time for a Quick Five on the Dana Show, D Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X. A great way to stay connected to her or any of her social media. It's really, really great out there. There's a debate of the best TV mobs. Just in time for Mother's Day.
I was amazed. This is, I think, a ranker.com voting thing at who wound up number one and two on this list, because it definitely shows you that these type of polls or lists or whatever they are that the internet creates in 2026 are profoundly different than the ones they would have made just a few years ago. Coming in at number one for best TV mom in a recent vote on ranker.com was Kitty from that 70 show. She's not a bad mom. She's not the best TV mom of all time.
We all know this. At number two was Moira from Shit's Creek. That is also crazy to me. That would come in at number two. Morticia Adams at number three for the Addams family.
Sophia at number four for the Golden Girls was robbed. Definitely deserved a better position than four. And then Wilma and Marge come in at five and six, the Flintstones and The Simpsons. That's just crazy. And then my favorite TV mom, who I probably would have voted number one on this list because we watched a lot of this growing up as kids.
My mom really liked this show. Lucy. I love Lucy. I couldn't believe she came in at number seven. Lucy Ricardo.
She definitely deserved a higher spot on the list. And this is only because young people are voting. Also, Bewitch, Samantha Stevens, Carol Brady, and Reba of the Reba show round out the top 10. But a lot of undue influence from younger people trying to put Kitty Foreman at number one. It's not that she's a bad mom.
She's just not the best mom out there. This is like the GOAT debate in the NBA. And anyone who ever tells me it's LeBron James, I know you didn't see Michael Jordan play basketball. I know you didn't witness it firsthand like I did, because there's no way you'd say it's anyone other than MJ if you were around at that time. What's the weirdest thing you do alone?
Was another question that was asked on Reddit. And people gave very honest answers because they often do this on the internet. One person said they had full-blown debates with themselves. That is, debates with themselves when they are alone. Out loud, they would argue both sides of a certain conversation and then assume that the thing that they were talking about actually had eventually finished with like a discovery that maybe they didn't know before.
They didn't argue with anybody else. This is, and I've done this before when you're alone to think something through, but I don't think you should assume that you actually got to the answer to the problem. You probably need to take in other opinions at some point before you know for sure where you've landed. Other people said they've given a full concert via either the shower or even just around the house, including choreography, everything you need to perform. And then another person just said they just do primal screams.
I feel like that's a left-leaning, crazy person, but just in the house alone, you just start screaming bloody murder and you assume nothing bad's going to happen. I feel like a neighbor is going to knock on the door if you do that too much. But those are just some of the things that people do when they're alone. Nobody admitted to being naked. I was surprised that wasn't on the list higher.
Quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. Chapter exists to cut through all of the confusion, which is on purpose, with Medicare, right? Because people are told: go to the government website or here, talk to rando insurance agent. And then, you know, after all is said and done, they discover people discover that their plan that they picked doesn't actually cover what they need.
And it's all purposefully confusing. That's how people end up on the wrong plan, overpaying and undercovered.
So you need someone on your side to cut through all this nonsense. That's what Chapter does. They're the only company. The only advisor actually that compares every Medicare plan across the country. They're not going to give you one or two companies.
They're looking at all of them because they want to find what actually fits your doctors and prescriptions and budget. It's an honest translator for Medicare. They explain all your options. They help you avoid plans that are great for insurance companies, but terrible for you.
Now, on average, people who work with chapter save about $1,100 a year on healthcare costs just by getting onto the right plan instead of going with whatever was pushed at them. It's easy and free and fast to talk to chapter. In under 20 minutes, they'll look at your whole situation, walk you through your choices. If you're about to enroll, so you know what you're picking and why. You're going to walk away completely informed, confident instead of overwhelmed and confused.
Take control of your Medicare dial, pound250 on your phone, and say my Medicare. That's pound250 and say the words my Medicare to get your options reviewed with chapter today. Here's a thought that shouldn't be controversial. You can think someone is completely wrong and still not hate them. I know, wild.
But somehow we've turned disagreement into a personality and hate into something.
Something people are way too comfortable with. And it's not just happening in one place. Hate is rising across communities in different ways, and Jewish communities are getting hit especially hard right now. And hate doesn't just stay in one lane, it spreads.

My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A lot of stuff out there to discuss. A big breaking news story from earlier today that the president put up on Truth Social was the three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. The celebration in Russia is for Victory Day, but otherwise in Ukraine, because there was also a big part of a factor.
Of World War II was part of the announcement. I think I actually have Fox News doing a better job of just giving you the whole thing here. But President Trump announced today that there will be a three-day ceasefire. Between Russia and Ukraine, that hopefully, potentially, could end this conflict long term. This just came out.
You may or may not have seen it. The president just put out on True Social regarding Ukraine. I'm pleased to announce that there will be a three-day ceasefire starting tomorrow through Monday in the war between Russia and Ukraine. It will include a suspension of all kinetic activity, also a prisoner swap of 1,000 prisoners from each country. The president's got some optimism that this could hold longer than three days.
Yeah, it could hold way longer than three days. The ceasefire will conclude a suspension of all kinetic activity, as you heard there. This request was made by me directly, is a continuation of the stuff that President Trump put on Truth Social. I very much appreciate its agreement by President Vladimir Putin and President Vladimir Zelensky. Hopefully, it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard-fought war, President Trump continued on Truth Social.
Talks are continuing on ending this major conflict, the biggest since World War II, and we're getting closer and closer every day. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. Trump. I do like that he ends a lot of his truth posts with thank you for your attention to this matter, even though a whole lot of people who then read it and talk about it refuse to say that it came from Truth Social.
Which is just weird. They refuse to make that a thing that they want to talk about because, darn it. It's terrible somehow for us. All right. Another thing out there that I thought was important.
And again, hopefully, that three day ceasefire turns into the end of a long conflict that President Trump actually promised he could end. Maybe he'll actually end it. But other news, CNN was forced to admit that Republicans are now poised To pick up eight seats within the House in 2026 after some redistricting battles didn't go their way. The Virginia Supreme Court decision to strike down what was described as illegal gerrymandering in the state because it goes against the state constitution's requirement that you change districts. After one election and before another one, not after one, and then actually during one, which was the argument that was made against.
That position. And real quick, actually, before I play audio. the audio from CNN. I just want to explain that better.
So, Republicans, a lot of conservatives, myself definitely among them, believe. That we should. Pretty much have a one-day election. That there can be some exceptions, mostly for military men and women, to mail in their ballots. But by and large, people should vote on the day of the election, that day only, and then we know the winner by that evening.
That would be an ideal situation that would remove a lot of potential fraud that could exist within our voting system, and I think does exist within our voting system. This would be great. The powerball and mega millions can do this. We should be able to do this too, is something I've often said, filling in on this show or on the radio in general. And it's just so funny.
To listen to Democratic lawyers make the argument that the election is held on one day and watch the other side say that that's obviously not true in Virginia, that there's people currently voting early in some of these primaries and elections, the midterm election that will happen toward the tail end of this year.
So it's absolutely ridiculous to pretend as though an election isn't currently going on. I love. That it's Democrats' own fault that the argument they made failed in front of the Virginia Supreme Court. And I think would actually fail in front of the U.S. Supreme Court if it gets challenged to that level, because it's true that elections are sort of, I feel like I've been voting for people in Texas, where I live in Houston, like all the time right now.
I feel like you're voting for someone almost constantly, special elections, primary season, runoffs. that we're having now. By the way, anyone who pays attention to Texas knows that Cornyn is an absolutely atrocious choice as the next senator. He's the current senator out of our state. He deserves to go away.
He needs to go away. And the flip-flopping and terrible things he does and doesn't stand for, regardless of if he votes with Republicans. 80, 90, 60 percent of the time, depending on what list you check, how often he actually agrees with the R that's in front of his name as far as a senator goes in this country. He absolutely needs to go away. Whether it's Ken Paxton, who inevitably is the person who can do it right now, or whether I wish it had been Wesley Hunt or someone else, you need a replacement.
And you need a replacement that's not an insane Democrat like James Talafrico. As he's been called by some other people out there in the world. But anyway, I just think that it's stuff like this that really, truly matters when you have these discussions on how to change things in our society from a political standpoint. And then also, you have to admit, as it seems CNN does, that doing away with the Voter Right Act, the way it was being used racistly to create districts based solely on race, regardless of what that race is. If you build a district based on race that seems to be racist and wrong, it's now caused a situation where that plus Virginia, plus some redistricting that has occurred in places like here in Texas, it means that Republicans are very likely to hold the House and maybe even gain additional seats.
Here we go. So here's where that leaves the redistricting wars nationwide right now. Republicans have targeted 14 extra seats. Democrats could pick up six. Theoretically, it would be an eight seat GOP advantage, but here's an important caveat.
Just because a seat is redrawn by Republicans or even Democrats doesn't mean it automatically goes that way, especially. Wait, what? Do people have to vote? Is that what Dana Bash is telling me? Oh my God.
What an incredible caveat that she added there, that people actually have to vote in the election to choose who wins.
So she's begging her Democrats and whatever the redrawn districts will be that won't favor them that they need to get out and vote and try to fight. Because again, none of this is predetermined, even if it's very much designed to be via all the gerrymandering that's gone on that predominantly comes from the left. I know both sides do it. I know both political parties have done it for a long time. But if you look at some of the most ridiculous examples of it right now.
In places like California or Illinois or New York, you see the most insane squiggly lines. It's a puzzle you could never do. If you had to fill in all the puzzle pieces to some of the districts that exist in some of these left blue states, like these far left blue states, it would be literally impossible to figure out how these puzzle pieces exist. It would look insane. And it should be much easier.
It should be, you know, first-grade level puzzle where everything's basically a little block. All right, some other things out there that I saw that I thought were kind of interesting. There is one story that I probably should have just done as a quick five today, but I thought it was so interesting. I wanted to talk about it. There's a Canadian fiddle player.
A Canadian fiddler is the way that he'd be described, who is suing Google for $1.5 million. It is a lawsuit. The dude's name is Ashley. He's a guy named Ashley. But anyway, the reason he's suing Google and its AI platform is because a summary of who he is and what he's done and what's made him famous that you can easily get on anybody by going to Google and hitting the AI mode when you search a name said that he was a diddler.
Not a fiddler, and actually referenced how he might be a sex offender who harms children. It was an autocorrect for some reason that changed the word about being a person who plays a specific instrument to being someone who would do something that the slang term might describe as horrible and terrible, that then made the AI just like think that he actually was a sex offender. This is insane. And the reason I think it's so crazy is this is exactly the type of problem that only AI could come up with. Like for how great AI is, for how many things it makes easier.
And producer Steven and I were joking in a commercial break earlier during the show, how both of us use it in a whole lot of ways. Like no actual human, I think, would have libeled the fiddler guy to claim that he was a person who engages in the sexual abuse or whatever of children because the word fiddler can easily be changed to be the word diddler. That's just not a thing. that a human being would even come up with, it's the computer. That doesn't understand a lot of things that would actually go that road.
By the way, I'll just suggest this. I'm not really sure that I should, but I've done it before, so I suggest you do it too. I type in your own name and then put AI mode in and see what comes up. See if you, in fact, pop up on the top of the list. As one of the people that's most known with your name, or if you have to add some context to AI to get to you.
But eventually it gets to all of us because social media is so prevalent and we all have enough information out there that a quick review of everything on the internet can locate almost anyone.
So, if you do pop in some information with your own real first and last name, and then, as I said, give it whatever amount of additional context you need, you get to inevitably write a bunch or read a bunch of AI stuff about you. And it's weird. But I have done it because I've seen stories like this before and I was curious. And I'll tell you this about the AI version of me, Craig Collins. It's nicer to me than I think some of the things it says about me might not actually be true.
Some of the things about just how successful, how wealthy, et cetera, I am, I can go ahead and refute them. But darn it, it's not calling me something horrible.
So I'm not bringing anybody to court over it. It can keep doing whatever it wants to do. I might just eventually use it as a resume for myself, actually, to send that to someone and be like, hey, it's on the internet. It might be true. Why don't you go ahead and believe it?
All right. On that note, we will take a little bit of an earlier break. We will come back and have a little bit more fun because I'll be honest with you, it's Friday. It's just before a holiday for Mother's Day, and I'm kind of sick of news. And I think a lot of other people might be sick of news.
So we'll close out the show with some, I think, fun topics that you still can know about, still share with people at the water cooler, much like Dana's quick five topics, but probably not the hardest hitting news when we come back after this. This is the Dana show, My Name, and AI thinks a whole lot of me, which is a weird, humble brag when it's not accurate stuff that they put out sometimes. But you can look for it. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Our partners that bring you the program, it's our friends over.

Here's a thought that shouldn't be controversial. You can think someone is completely wrong and still not hate them. I know, wild. But somehow we've turned disagreement into a personality and hate into something people are way too comfortable with. And it's not just happening in one place.
Hate is rising across communities in different ways and Jewish communities are getting hit especially hard right now. And hate doesn't just stay in one lane, it spreads.
So even if you think this isn't your issue, give it a minute. You don't have to agree with people. You just have to decide you're not okay with hate. That's it. The blue square is a simple way to say that out loud.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Yeah. It's time for Florida Man. That's right. It's time for Florida Man on the Dana show, Dean Lash, Dana Lash Radio, an ex.
A great ways to stay connected to her. Deputies found a guy in Florida who thought he pulled a fast one against Walmart. He walked up to the self-checkout. He had two items in his hand. He had a $329 monitor and he had a banana.
Guess what the guy decided to do? He rung up just the banana and then paid for the banana and then walked out like mission accomplished. No one's going to figure out this Ocean's 11 version of a thing Khan, I just pulled on this Walmart. Apparently, they immediately realized the thing that he had done. He also had other goods on him, so it wasn't just the monitor that I guess was stuffed in the pockets and whatnot.
Those were the only things you could see. But the guy might have had an additional $200 worth of stuff on his person. That's going to get you in trouble. That's going to get you thrown in the hoosky out for a bit. I just love the fact that he rang up anything.
Because if you're going to go monitor and banana and just ring up the banana, this is not a suggestion to do things better. I assume you still get caught committing the crime, but just have the you-know-whats to walk out not paying for anything. If you want to commit a blatant crime like this, just go ahead and go the step further, bypass all the paying whatsoever, and then hopefully still get arrested immediately for that. Also, this story with a little bit of audio. Even though I know we're short on time, a Florida woman thought there was someone intruding in her home.
It turned out it was two alligators fighting on the porch that her kids would usually play in in their backyard. This is a uniquely Florida problem. I thought somebody was. Because I never thought that the gators were going to enter my porch. Definitely looked like they were fighting over territory or something.
It wasn't like a mating ritual that I had seen because there was blood and it had its hindquarters like in its jaws through the door. It was scary and I just warned everybody else in the neighborhood like watch your kids, watch the dogs because it was fast and they were powerful. Yeah, that's two alligators fighting in the backyard again. Her name is Kayla. The only thing she did wrong since it's Florida is not put this up on the internet for people to pay her to watch the rest of the fight because that would have been the right move.
It's a pay-per-view, baby. I'm paying for that. All right, quick break. A lot more coming up in a bit. It's our friends over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service that's out there.
They also want to save you money. You know how I was talking about the school road races?
So in our area, Patriot Mobile was actually able to help mobilize those parents that were fighting back against the school district that were wanting to really want to just like. Just pump DEI and CRT into the minds of our kids. And it was a giant battle, too. And the parents were so outfunded. I can't even believe how expensive all of this was.
They were so outfunded and they were out-organized. But then Patriot Mobile came in and helped them by supporting them financially with this battle. And this is what your money actually goes to support. If you look at all of the other cell phone companies out there, they all have PACs and they all fund the things that you vote against every single time you're at the ballot box. And that's not, look, you don't want to have to sit here and work doubly hard to overcome what your cell phone money is paying for, right?
So Patriot Mobile, not only are they the only Christian conservative entity out there, but they're going to save you money with their plans that they have tailored for every business or family of any size. It's also super easy to switch. You can get activated in minutes. They got unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming. I've used this service all over the world for over 10 years and I've never had an issue.
Also, if you're in a contract, they can buy you out. They have a whole program for that. You get prioritized premium nationwide coverage without coverage. compromising your values or having your money weaponized. and be put to work against you.
Take a stand, make the switch. Patriotmobile.com slash Dana or call 972 Patriot. And use code Dana to get that free month of service. PatriotMobile.com slash Dana code Dana or call 972 Patriot. Here's a thought that shouldn't be controversial.

This is the Dana show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in for the day. I will actually be back on Monday, too, and then Dana is back after that. A few things to talk about out there that I thought were interesting, just as quicker stories. My name is Earl Star Jamie Presley.
Also, a movie star in a bunch of different movies, is quote evolving with the times and launching her own OnlyFans. This is after other people like Shannon and Elizabeth have also done this.
Well-known actresses.
Now here's the nice way to say it. That are not as young as other OnlyFans people are. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Shannon and Elizabeth made millions of dollars, I think, in just a day. Being on OnlyFans and Jamie Presley will probably do quite well.
She's a rather attractive person. But I do find it interesting that some of these celebrities who are doing this are doing this as, say, a second or third career as opposed to a first career, like some of the people they'll compete against on that website who are in their 20s. Again, no judgment, not trying to disparage anybody. I think they're going to have quite a lot of success.
Well, Shannon already has, and Jamie will. And I'm not telling you you should go subscribe to these sites. That's not the intention of this. I just find this interesting if we'll see more of this. If some of the people in today's society who are the very popular working actresses that Shannon Elizabeth and Jamie Presley used to be, that they're not getting as much work in Hollywood anymore, will also inevitably go down this road of doing something like this.
And what will actually be on those pages? Who knows? Carmen Electra is another name that comes to mind as someone who's done this recently and made a bunch of money off of it. And I think in Carmen, or I can't remember who, maybe it's another famous person's case. It was because their kid, Denise Richards, her kid did it, then she decided to do it, and you make a bunch of money.
So I guess this is how they're going to make their extra millions as a different career move, or quote, evolving with the times. I doubt a lot of people will be upset about that who choose to subscribe. Quick break, a lot more. This is Dana Show, Craig Collins filling in. And of course, the folks who make the program possible.

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 Dana show, D Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X, a great ways to stay connected to her at Radio Craig C. If for some reason you also want to follow me and help me inch closer to 1,000 people, which is my current goal.
And I need to tweet more to get there. I doubt I will. But follow Dana because she's awesome and her content's amazing. All right. Horse Girl is a DJ who is going to start performing shows throughout the United States.
She is from Germany. She is half horse, top half, half human, bottom half, just in case you were curious. And I saw a Denver Fox affiliate talking about the debut of this woman's show and this reporter not making a single joke, which is absolutely failing in the world of local news because puns at least are supposed to be a huge part of coverage of stories like this. Here's a little bit of that audio. Star DJ with unique signature look is going on tour and making Denver the first stop.
Horse Girl, that is spelt with two I's is a self-proclaimed German half horse. Half-human DJ. She's bringing the Nature is Healing tour to the U.S., Canada, and all across Europe after the fall to mark her first album release in June. Staying completely in character publicly, Horse Girl is known for her appearance with a horse muzzle and ears for songs like My Little White Pony, Praise the Farm, and My Barn, My Rules, also known as Stella Stallion. Horse Girl will debut her tour on September 18th.
I'm already stopping right there. This is utter failure because there should have been a bunch of jokes, a bunch of little jokes. They don't even have to be funny. Call them dad jokes, if you will. When you're talking about the debut of Horse Girl, the half horse, half human DJ, who will be putting on a show.
She's not even, I don't mean to say this any other way. It's not going to sound nice, but it is what it is. Like, DJs are different than musicians to me. It's a different skill set. It's a lot more capability, say, with a computer before you get on a stage than someone who actually needs to do a whole lot of fancy stuff on a stage to be successful.
So Horse Girl, not even, I think, as challenging as a band. But maybe that's because I know how to edit. Stuff that I think it's less challenging. But anyway, needed more jokes there. All right, quick break, a lot more.
