The discussion around Memorial Day highlights the importance of remembering those who gave the ultimate price for freedom, while also celebrating the beginning of summer with cooking and fun. The President's stance on an executive order about AI and China's potential benefits from it is also discussed, as well as the two countries' AI race. The media's role in promoting Iran's strength and the Democratic Party's far-left wokeism are also touched upon, along with the controversy surrounding Kamala Harris's presidential campaign and the autopsy report. Additionally, the topic of identity theft and anxiety diagnosis in children are brought up, highlighting the need for awareness and action in these areas.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you.

So many things out there to talk about just before a very important holiday. A holiday that we need to also remember is a day of thanks to people who gave the ultimate price, who paid the ultimate price, I should say, for our freedom.

So it's it's a very different holiday than a lot of other ones out there than Veterans Day. Memorial Day, well you will celebrate the beginning of summer in some places with a lot of cooking out and barbecue and fun. You also need to take some time to remember. People, even if you don't know many people who did this. One thing my wife and I do, this is weird, and I feel like this is bragging.

It's such a weird thing, because it's not. I'm not trying to sound like I'm better than you because I do something like this, because I'm recommending you do it too. And I don't know. My wife and I usually go to a graveyard and we find the military section of a graveyard, any graveyard. We live now in Houston.

We've done this in bigger towns or smaller places wherever we've been, and just stand there for a bit and just realize what it's about. And my wife's idea to do that, and I've I really thought there was something important and powerful about it.

So that's a recommendation I have for you. At some point over the weekend, or actually on Memorial Day, honor those who have fallen. All right, some other things out there. The President of the United States said he is postponing signing an executive order about a high. Because he doesn't like certain aspects of it and the potential for China to benefit from some of the things that might be put out into the world.

It is a two-way AI race, us in China, to get to the top of whatever that horrible heap might be. But here's a little bit of what the President said about this. I didn't like certain aspects of it. I postponed it. I think it gets in the way of, you know, we're leading China, we're leading everybody, and I don't want to do anything that's going to get in the way of.

That lead we have a very substantial on AI. It's causing tremendous good, and it's also bringing in a lot of jobs, tremendous numbers of jobs. Again, we have more people working right now than we've ever had. I really thought that could have been a blocker, and I want to make sure that it's not. Did you discuss AI?

I did. I did. I discussed it. And he acknowledges how well we're doing. We're doing well.

He's doing well. It's the two of us. The two countries are. Fighting for it. Other countries A way behind.

Way, way behind. Yeah, it's just the two of us. That is true. And China loves to steal everything we put out there.

So I do think it makes sense to be cognizant and cautious in that world of what they might do with any information that gets put out into the ether. Because, again, they will love to steal it. You remember the balloon. That flew over the country and how long it took Biden to shoot it down. How uniquely odd that story was.

We don't want more balloon-esque stuff. And this is definitely way different than that, I guess. I just, I think about that every time I think about China spying on us: the ridiculousness of flying a weather balloon over our country. at least claiming it was a weather balloon, and then us waiting till the end of its journey when it was over the ocean for us to shoot it down and lose it. Like that, that is uniquely, uniquely terrible in the world of things that Biden did that people forget about.

All right, let's play a couple moments where people on CNN yell at each other. I enjoy these. We got a couple of these. First, there is a discussion about Iran and if they're actually doing better or not because of what's been going on recently here in the United States and their fight with them. And some people are actually claiming things like Iran is actually doing, you know, they are in a stronger position because they've realized how they can financially benefit from the Strait of Hormuz, which is an insane thing.

Like, that's an insane premise to a statement. Iran isn't just uniquely aware now of how they might be able to gouge people over the strait, and they might actually believe that they'll be harmed more if they keep trying to do that. But here's a little bit about that back and forth ridiculousness.

Okay, this is the point about the president. The president made it clear. Iran is not going to get a nuclear weapon. That's number one. How is he going to ensure that?

Number two, how is he going to ensure as long as he's president of the United States of America? I have no doubt it's not going to be a problem. Where's the bomb to you? Where's the highland rebomb? I go back to my question.

I can't really believe that Iran is sitting back right now five levels deep of dead guys and going, man, we're really in charge right now. Like, we are kicking a man. I absolutely think that they are. That's what they're doing all the time. You're fully insane.

You're crazy, people. I will continue to say that they should all just American gladiator joust to decide who the winner is every night and Abby Phillip, because I'd find that hilarious. But nonetheless, yes. They're yelling at each other about the strength or lack thereof with Iran, with Iran. And what I think is kind of insane about it is that benefits that country.

To pretend as though they might be stronger than they actually are, and to have our media take that idea seriously can only benefit them. The rhetoric should be, it is the truth, but it should also be that they are weak and they're about to fold because the last thing you want to do is convince our side to give in, which is the thing they most want. And they're using our media to try to get that objective completed. Hopefully it fails. President Trump doesn't seem to give a crap about that narrative at all and good that he doesn't.

But I do see that quite often as kind of the M.O. It was what Hamas did when they were trying to convince college kids to protest on college campuses in support of terrorist groups, terrorist groups that would hate them and anybody around them. And then they did it. The kids actually did that thing.

So the media can be used again against the United States and the useful idiots who are willing to accept whatever narrative they hear. Another moment on CNN that caused an argument was about covering things up. This is somewhat in connection to what's going on with the Trump administration and some of the potential to say, give some money to January 6thers and other things. And this immediately devolved into the ridiculousness of anyone on the left. Trying to take any shot at a friendly take in media about the Trump administration because of how many people on left-leaning media or liberal or mainstream media protected Joe Biden when his brain was a disaster.

They did a whole lot of this, and we remember it, and you definitely can't forget it when you're having an argument about what nice things conservatives might be saying about Trump policies and decisions compared to what they said last time they had the power. Here we go. The spine melted. And everybody fell in line. Dude, that would be you guys saying Joe Biden was a good candidate.

If you want to talk about falling in line, no spine. You guys told us that Joe Biden was like sane and mentally competent when he clearly wasn't, and lied to the American people and then covered up the incompetence. You're like, don't lecture me about like moral clarity. Joe Biden was a disaster, and you guys covered it up and looked in the cameras. All of the Democrats said, he runs laps around me.

He's on his A-game. He's so good at this. And then you want to sit here and say that, like, man, I wish these Republicans were. I don't know why that was. I know what it's about.

And by the way, again, you hear it. I hear it every time they argue that they should be hitting each other with padded sticks. But anyway, I like that description of that. Anyway, what I think is really interesting about this is that it's a very easy take for a conservative to say that if you think that we're being loyalists to the current administration, let's really break down. And the autopsy came out.

Mm-hmm. about the failed Kamala Harris presidential campaign. Democrats commissioned it in 2025. They then buried it after it actually was completed for a while. And now it comes out in May of 2026 because you just kick something down the road enough, and hopefully, people no longer care to pay attention.

And even though there's things that seem to be obviously missing in what went wrong for Harris, a lot of blame heaped on Joe Biden and not getting out of the race sooner, et cetera. And he didn't actually even willingly get out of the race, to be totally honest. He was shoved in a closet and didn't know how to open the door. They didn't even have to lock it, I don't think. But nonetheless, when I say all this, I think the most obvious reason that the Kamala Harris campaign failed is that she copy and pasted the political positions Biden had onto her page when she first took his nomination away from him and tried to run with it.

She didn't have a radically different campaign than him, and she was a radically left person in her previous political stops in California, which made her talk in circles whenever she did an interview about what she really believed because she knew she couldn't say the stuff that she actually thought. She's a terrible candidate across the board, horrible. I could have told you this, I don't know, I did tell you this in 2024. I could have told Democrats this any other time after that, and I could have saved them a bunch of money and then two years of trying, or at least a year of trying to bury a thing. That they inevitably put out anyway that says all the stuff we knew without saying the most ridiculous stuff.

And Harris, the funniest thing about this, I guess. Mm-hmm. It is to say that if Harris herself reads it, if Kamala plums through this and decides that it really wasn't her fault, she's not the reason she lost, she might actually want to get in again, which would be great. For Republicans, great for conservatives. Let her run.

Let her try to be at the forefront of the party the entire time. She actually hasn't won any primaries.

So we'll see if she even can do that part. And then if she can't, who knows who else they shove into closets and locked doors in order to get her the actual nomination. This time around. But I love the idea that she might actually be emboldened enough to think that she's actually a good candidate for office when she lost in every single swing state to the current president of the United States. That's the kind of loss that usually has you retire from the sport.

If you're doing it in some other places, not so much for politicians. They always think that they're absolutely still the greatest person ever to walk on earth until eventually, I don't know, what happens to convince them. I don't think they ever are convinced that they're not. All right, we'll take a break. We'll come back and do some sillier stuff.

We're going to have a friend of mine, a podcaster in person on Angela Box in about 20 minutes. She does a great job all over her social media pages talking about a lot of silly stuff, or a lot of serious political stuff.

So I figured I just prefer the holiday. Why not bring on another person so I can talk to somebody else about the stupidity of politics? That and more coming up in a bit. This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in.

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. Lots of places can accidentally expose you to identity theft.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Danus Quick Five. That's right, it's time for a quick five on the Dana show, D Lash, Jana Lash, Radio, and X. Great ways to stay connected to her. Jimmy Kimmel has said you should never watch CBS News again or CBS in any form, I think again, after Colbert had his final show last night that I definitely didn't watch. Paul McCartney had a busy week.

He went from Saturday Night Live to Colbert's show. I wonder if Stephen Colbert was disappointed that Paul McCartney did both and not just his thing. But anyway, the Stephen Colbert version of late night is over. I am disappointed, not in losing Stephen Colbert, a television person that I definitely didn't watch often and that absolutely didn't understand the mission of late night TV by being so politically one-sided. But I am disappointed that I remember the glory days of, say, David Letterman on that show.

I don't remember, but I've watched reruns of Johnny Carson doing a great job on a show that I was too young to be around for. But anyway, what I think is really important about this is how far we've gone from what the actual gold standard of the thing is, not the fact that it's dying a death that has honestly been coming for a long time. And I actually expect more of the late night TV shows to follow along the same path. I think that either Kimmel or Fallon is likely to be next because they can't possibly be financially valuable and sustainable the way they're being presented.

So we'll see. And if there's only one left, maybe it lasts longer then than if they keep two on the air. But I can't imagine anybody's really making money doing that stuff. The National Hurricane Center has told us that the hurricane season this year, which is fast approaching, might also be mild, just like last year was. A below average 2026 is what they're predicting.

The outlook projects three to six total hurricanes that are things that are relevant to be reported on throughout the country and maybe one to three that might be categorized as major. I know this is just prediction, a projection. I know this is not a reality, but hey, it's good news. I'm happy to hear this, especially as somebody who lives in Houston, Texas now and lived other places before, you know, and just moved here. We were here last summer.

It wasn't very bad here this summer. One of the biggest things my wife was afraid of. When moving here was a bad weather event that made us leave the city or state for a while, and it just isn't the case so far.

So, this is again, as I said, pretty good news. And finally, one last story that's kind of just crazy to say out loud. Tennessee called off an execution for a man that was convicted of three murders back in 1994 because they couldn't find a usable vein. That's really what they said. They couldn't figure out, and the man is not, you know, well as a person.

So, for that reason, they had to medically call off. The death penalty. This has then caused a lot of conversation about the efficacy or the ethical value of the death penalty, I should say. And I had one thought. It's not a great thought, but I did have a thought.

And remember, the guy convicted of multiple murders in the 90s. There were other ways to accomplish the goal. If the goal was to have this person no longer exist, a firing squad is one of them.

So I don't know. I don't know what the end result is here, but it's just an interesting story that you had to call it off because you couldn't find something. I imagine they'll figure it out and do some other version of something in the future. But that's got to be a heck of an experience for all involved. And I feel uniquely terrible for any family of the victims that were waiting for this, that were expecting this to occur.

And then it doesn't for what seems to be a very stupid reason. And then finally, one last thing, as far as just quick stories go out there, anxiety diagnosis by pediatricians is up 300%. 10-year study has shown that more and more kids are being diagnosed with anxiety, depression, all sorts of mental health issues, and prescribed medication to deal with it. Medication that becomes addictive if you take it for several years, especially if you're taking it from childhood through adulthood, and medication that might have other terrible effects on the people that are using it, SSRIs among them. I'm not telling you that anybody anywhere shouldn't be on something that adults might be on, but I do think it might be a bad idea to start a kid off, a kid under 10 potentially, on some of this stuff.

Especially what they're being diagnosed with is ADHD, which most kids that I know, most of my nieces and nephews, and my friends' children seem like they have ADHD because they don't wanna focus and pay attention because they're children. And so I don't know. There's a part of that that makes you think that we're making a very mild problem, significantly worse in the decisions we're making based on these diagnoses that also seem fairly easy to come to if, again, you're diagnosing a child with how well they pay attention. Anyone who's ever been around a kid knows not good is the answer to that. All right, we'll take a break here in a little bit.

After the break, we will come back and chat with a friend of mine. Her name is Angela Box. She hosts the Angela Box Show, which you can find on a whole bunch of different social media platforms. At Angela Box Show is the best way to find her. She's a firecracker by her own description of herself and someone who likes to napalm and carpet bomb filthy leftists.

That's coming up in a bit. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. Pre-born. It's a great organization that's determined to continue helping as many babies as possible. this May.

and they've extended their goal. That they want to reach by saving thousands of lives. They saved over 80,000 lives last year. They brought 10,000 women to Christ, and they offer free ultrasounds to women who are experiencing, who are facing unplanned pregnancies. They want these women to feel confident in choosing life, and they work with them for the first two years of these children's lives to make sure that they get started on the right foot.

And you can join their mission. $28 is the cost of one ultrasound. That's it. And you all made this happen last year. There are 600 donations, actually less than that now, but still a couple of hundred donations of $28 away from reaching their Mother's Day goal.

And you made it happen last year. I know you can do it again this year. You can visit preborn.com slash Dana GiveSecurely. They have a four-star charity rating. You can give with confidence.

Everything's tax deductible. You can also dial pound250 and say. Here's a thought that shouldn't be controversial. You can think someone is completely wrong and still not hate them. I know, wild.

Let's save some lives. This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you.

Lots of serious stuff to talk about. This happened earlier this week. It's not serious at all. I just find it interesting, the current version of the world we live in. The Boys, a TV show I never really watched, but a lot of people apparently did, had its series ending episode on Wednesday.

And I've seen a bunch of said episodes because it all just is online now. I didn't intend to see it. I think part of what I was scrolling through on social media just had it pop up and saw it. I've seen the ending, I've seen the characters that died, all of those things. I'm a little bit disappointed.

Not that I ever really intended to watch the show, and I know this isn't the serious stuff that I'm going to talk about in just a second. But I just think it's funny that, like, I think it was hours after the finale had aired on television, most of the clips of things that probably shouldn't be on the internet were on the internet. And you could get in it's sort of like if you don't watch a baseball game. See all the highlights online, you kind of like all the best moments. That's something that can happen a lot for people.

It happens in so many different ways now in our society. But anyway, that was just a thing that was in my brain that I figured I'd share with you before we get to more important stuff. Fox News is John Roberts, not talking about the boys for some reason, gave an update on something going on in the world of. Iran and Tehran and Whether or not there might be a deal made and who's going to help us cut the deal. Hopefully, we get to a point where the people in Iran, Iran, whatever you want to call it, realize they're screwed if they don't make the deal the United States wants.

As the source tells Fox, that a Qatari negotiating team is currently in Tehran to support the United States to reach a final deal and address any outstanding issues.

So we sent Qatar in to do our dirty work for us and to address any, quote, outstanding issues. One of the issues that has been outstanding the entire time, and not like good outstanding. It's been a terrible version of it, is that they don't want to give us all of their uranium, and we want all of it. We want every single bit of it. And then we may or may not destroy it, as our president has said.

But that's going to be a thing they're going to have to give in on. Another topic of conversation today has been the DNC's 2024 autopsy of Kamala Harris's terrible campaign to try to be our president. And all the stuff that you probably assume is in there seems to at least be somewhat in there. There seem to be pieces missing where more blame could have been heaped directly on the terrible candidate that was Harris and her inability to say any sort of direct thing. You went from a person whose brain was literally broken to someone who seemed like her brain was also broken, just a different kind of broken, when she also couldn't answer basic questions about the policies her platform had.

But here's part of what MS Now, or once called MS DNC, really thought about this. And they were honest about how the far-left wokeism is taking a stronger hold of the party and isn't really mentioned as much as it should be in the autopsy. You know, Jonathan, there's so much in this through innuendo. A lot of the people in the party were worried about what the anger by young people, especially in this country, about what Israel's done in Gaza and how that would offend the voter, the donor class, the people that give money regularly to the Democrats. Democratic Party and they said they wouldn't like it.

You know, there's all questions about, you know, the issue of gender-affirming surgery in prison, which Kamala Harris supports and did all the way through this discussion of the whole autopsy. She still does take that position.

So they couldn't get angry about the ads being run in all the sports shows, on the baseball shows and the NFL games in the last fall of 24. They can't complain because they couldn't take it back. They couldn't say, that's not our party position because it was hers. You know, Barney Frank said something very important this week in his death fed basically in his hospice care. He said the people on the left of the Democratic Party on social issues have to be careful not to make those litmus tests for all Democrats.

And I think that's a big issue that Barney left us with. He's a man of the left. I was with him on so many human rights campaign events. He's a strong supporter. Yeah, I'm already good.

You don't have to tell me all the great things about him. Let's deal with part of what they just said there, though. And probably the most valuable piece of the puzzle is how far. Left a lot of the base is, and how alienating them probably causes you to lose if you actually lean in. Our guest, Angela Box, who was on the show about an hour ago, said she'd respect the Democrats more if they stopped tiptoeing around the most ridiculous things they all believe and just said all that stuff out loud, but they know that that would be a kiss of death as far as anyone actually in the middle.

The right has done a great job over the last few years, conservatives and even Trump in some of the podcast interviews he did in demonstrating the rational side of thinking that is part of the conservative base. Not the totality of it. I'm not going to pretend there aren't people radical on both sides, but certainly. When you discuss these things and you leave out the insane podcasters who now say ridiculous stuff themselves, you find yourself more easily capable of carving a path from sanity to political party on the right. You just find that easier than some of the ridiculous things that become, you have to prove to us you're one of us versions of questions that exist only on the left.

And there are a lot of those. There are way too many of those, to be honest with you. And just one example is gender-affirming care that happens inside of prison. It's ridiculous that that's an actual example. By the way, that feels like the kind of thing that I'd read about in The Babylon B, not actually read about as a genuine separating position between the two political parties.

It's just insane. All right, let's play another thing. President Trump on Truth Social was commenting on wanting to be at his son's wedding, but he might be too busy for this. This is at the same time that the Senate has decided to send everybody home on vacation until June, missing a deadline that the president was very much focused on for border patrol funding, et cetera. I think it's pretty interesting to demonstrate the difference between some and others.

Whether the president actually winds up attending Don Jr.'s wedding is yet to be seen. But he says it might be a difficult thing for him to do considering he's currently running the entire country. You don't really hear that very often from politicians on either side of the aisle where they'd skip something like this to keep working. Trump put this out on Truth Social just a short time ago about his daughter, his son Don Jr.'s upcoming nuptials in the Bahamas. The president writing, Well, I very much wanted to be with my son Don Jr., the newest member of the Trump family, who's soon to be wife Bettina.

Circumstances pertaining to government and my love for the United States of America do not allow me to do so. I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time. All right, there's some tea. How do you read it? I can read the tea.

Let me read it instead of your pundit, if you don't mind. I would love to do that. This is awesome. It's awesome in just one respect of putting the country above self, which is what we ask a lot of people to do. And politicians almost never do.

Honestly, very few politicians do it at all. I'm not pretending, again, that I can't invent some sort of way for this to be more exaggerated than a reality. I doubt President Trump will actually go to the wedding or anything like it. But at the same time, I just wonder why more politicians can't also be capable of this. And sure, it's put out for political points, but it deserves them.

There's no way that you can actually take this away from someone. You can make all the jokes you want about maybe the president not caring about his kid, whatever road you want to go in that world, which I think some of it would probably be much more ridiculous than other positions that people will take. But. To me, the most valuable aspect of this is that there are people that actually put work above anything that they do for themselves. And we're finding so many examples where the opposite winds up being true in the case of all of our politicians.

So it deserves to be applauded. It won't be. Of course, it will be acted as though it's a terrible, horrible thing or a false thing or something else by so many that refuse to even acknowledge it. And that's a shame, to be honest with you, because these are the kind of moments where I think people do demonstrate their willingness to rise above even just political, individual, like one-sided praise. And it just won't happen because it's President Trump.

One last thing I want to play before we take a break. This is the House Oversight Committee Chair, James Comer. He is talking about Elhan Omar and a claim that she had made that nobody's investigating her. I want to play a little bit of this, including the clip that Fox News plays of Elhan, because I think for context, you need both, and then how the. Politician on the right responds to it.

I think it's all valuable to hear, and I wonder who's actually telling the truth. But here we go. Yeah, it's interesting, Congressman, that you say people being held accountable because Congresswoman Elon Omar says, and I'm quoting here, I'm going to play this sound: that you have not investigated anything. Here's her. Watch.

House Republicans looking into the net worth of you and your husband, are you cooperating with that investigation and providing documents? I don't look into anything. They're just saying those things to get interviews with you guys. There's nothing really happening. They're saying it's a red flag.

He hasn't investigated anything. He hasn't done anything. He hasn't referred me to anybody. He's just saying that so we can get. TV interviews because you guys will only talk to them if they say something about me.

Yeah, not true. Says you haven't investigated any. Oh, I hope the investigation part's not true, but the whole part about not talking to them unless they're talking about Elon Omar, that part's definitely not true. Here's how Comer works. I think, Chairman, it's basically all for attention.

Yeah, she's delusional, and she knows better. She's trying to say she made a mistake on her financial disclosure form. No one makes a $30 million mistake on your financial disclosure form, especially if you don't have any assets. You know, if you're Donald Trump or some very wealthy person, 30 million might be a rounding error. But for someone who alleges now she has nothing, that's a pretty big rounding error.

And it all stems around two basic things, a problem she has. First of all, she asked for an earmark for a project that was later proven to be a fraudulent project that was involved in that Somali scam up there. And then secondly, she claimed her assets were huge because of this. winery that we know has been shut down that according to rumors and press reports was defrauding investors. Yeah, she did terrible, horrible things, to say it another way.

Or at least that's what we think she did, and we're investigating her for it. I do love the mention of the $30 million mistake. Because I'm trying to envision a case where that's real, where you're worth basically nothing, and then all of a sudden you're worth $30 million, and then another year later, you're worth nothing. I wonder how the conversation goes at the dinner table with the significant other, with her brother/slash husband, whoever it is she's in a relationship with now, where you're like, hey, we're worth 30 million all of a sudden. And someone's like, that's amazing.

That's incredible. And then one year later, hey, bad news. Mistake on my part. A little bit of a math error. We're actually worth nothing again.

That's got to be a heck of a roller coaster. Of course, I think it's fake and fraudulent and crap and all that other stuff you think it is. But it's hilarious to try to envision a reality where it happened. And then how you cope with that, how you cope with the idea that you thought you were worth 30 million for 365 days. And then whoopsie, we just can't do the math.

We added one too many zeros at the end there and we're really worth nothing again. I would love actually to do that for a year myself. to all of a sudden pretend I'm worth multiple millions of dollars and see how I live my life. For that one year, before inevitably, probably declaring bankruptcy for the horrible mistakes I made when I find out, oh, yeah, I've been broke the whole time. That is not how math works, not how money works usually.

So, hopefully, they are definitely investigating her more so than she claims. All right, we'll take a quick break. We'll do a little bit more and get out of here just before the holiday, Memorial Day, in which you do both celebrate time with family and remember the sacrifice made by those who give the ultimate price for the freedoms that we get to enjoy in this country.

Some more coming up in just a bit. It's Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. I love working with the crew at fast-growing trees, especially at this time of year when everything's in full bloom and you can actually see your yard come to life. Fast-growing trees is America's largest and most trusted online nursery with thousands of trees and plants and more than 2 million happy customers. And summer is the perfect time to upgrade your outdoor space with fast-growing shade trees like maples and hybrid willows or heat-loving plants like crepe myrtles.

Hydrangeas and hibiscus, which I have, and I love, and they absolutely thrive in summer weather.

So, what I like is how easy it is. They make it very easy. They match the right plants to your climate, your space, and even how much time you have to take care of them.

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's 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 time for Florida man. That's right. It's time for Florida Man on the Dana Show. D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio, and X. Great ways to stay connected to her.

And I'll just keep throwing it out there for the three or four people who listen at Radio Craig C is a place that you could follow me and make me feel a little bit more like I have an audience too, even though I need to use that platform more. Probably a Florida man said that his teenage daughters were falsely accused of leaving a mess inside a Lyft vehicle. This is a crazy story out of Boca Raton. It led to a $75 damage fee that then is paid to the driver of the car. Apparently, what was undercovered is the driver created an AI image, a fake image, of a bunch of, well, throw-up and whatnot in the backseat of a car, just a whole bunch of food thrown all over the place, just a big giant mess.

In the vehicle, in order to get the $75 fee, and that it was, in fact, not a thing that actually happened. Here's the reason I'm uniquely upset about this story. If you've ever had someone, Do the vomiting in the backseat of a car of yours, which I had once happen in college as I was driving a couple buddies home from a casino that we probably shouldn't have gone to.

Now, granted, I was sober enough to drive. The two other guys were probably not sober enough to be awake while we were driving home. One of them did the thing, and it was horrible. Although I remember he actually wound up cleaning it up the next day, and then he gave me 50 bucks, which was actually nice. This was, I think, pre-Uber days, too, where that would have inevitably been the charge if they weren't an Uber.

But anyone who's been through that knows you shouldn't joke about this. You shouldn't make this up. It makes it worse for all the rest of us out there who actually deal with these sort of things.

So, for that reason, I'm mad. And then also, just the idea that you're trying to profit to the tune of $75, it seems like a bad move when you're probably going to lose your ability to make money as an Uber driver because you tried to con people. Another story I saw that was gross. A coffee run turned into a jailing for a guy that apparently flashed people while going through the drive-thru. 29-year-old Corey White, a dude.

Again, probably part of the reason I think this is so gross is it's not a female that did this sort of thing. I am, in fact, a straight man. But anyway, he was holding a $20 bill over his shorts, making facial expressions, doing certain other things, and then inevitably might have exposed himself to people in a drive-through at a coffee shop. Uniquely horrible thing. The guy was arrested.

It is Florida. This is not allowed there. It's not allowed anywhere. If this had been different. I actually vividly remember working at a radio station one time.

This was a radio station, a fancy one in Chicago, that had a giant glass window on Michigan Avenue that listeners could just walk up to. And there was a certain show, and two young women walked up, and they wanted to, I think, go viral in some way with a photo.

So they chose to flash us. They both lifted up their shirts and stood in front of the pressed glass. And me and the host, who was a guy, both observed what had happened. I think we might have even commented on it on the radio. They left.

No one went to jail.

So if you want to talk about the difference between men and women, that might be one of those differences. And I don't feel at all bad about it. It was totally fine. This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in.
