Plan on flying? It’s time to upgrade to a Real ID. Because in order to board domestic flights, your driver’s license or state-issued ID must be a Real ID. Or you’ll need another acceptable form of identification. So don’t wait. Find out how to get your Real ID at tsa.gov slash realid. That’s tsa.gov slash realid. Or visit your local DMV. And then you’ll be cleared for takeoff.

SPEAKER 05 : 0:36

It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man. Wow.

SPEAKER 04 : 0:46

Oh, my gosh. This is crazy. A Florida homeowner, because you know, iguanas are invasive species in Florida. That’s what they’re considered. A Florida homeowner found 98 iguana eggs in their backyard. And when they called the Humane Iguana Control Division of Florida Fish and Wildlife, they said that that was literally the most they had ever seen. in one uh one site and it was from i think they said uh three three different females that they because they i mean they tell people to hunt these things three female iguanas had nested in burrows they were all interconnected and each had their own clutch and they if they said it’s a record the most ever they’ve never found in the history of the state they said iguanas are more than a nuisance They dig burrows that damages infrastructure, landscape destruction, health risks. You know, like the salmonella on the skin, all that stuff. They said that one even compromised an actual dam before. And it was a $2 million. They had $2 million of taxpayer money to fix it. Isn’t that crazy? So that’s… A Florida man was arrested because he had three different wives in three different counties, and that is a big, bad no-no. Ew. I think, did we have this before? I think we had this one. Yeah, I think I had this one last Friday, so we don’t need that one again. Also, let’s see here. I had another one. This, hmm. Couple hang on. I don’t want to read that was gross. Not reading that one. A Florida man was accused of ramming into a Boca Raton fire engine. Apparently he was triggered. I’ve never seen a guy with such a large forehead in my life. It was a roadside outburst. It landed him in handcuffs yelled at firefighters hit their fire engine and sped off. And there was a call later on into police that said a vehicle was forcing other cars off the road. And they got this guy, 40-year-old Christian Diorcini, and he was screaming at firefighters. And that’s when he backed into a fire engine, tried to speed off. They did catch him, and he had a DUI, left the scene of an accident, property damage, all kinds of stuff. So he was under some kind of influence per CBS 12. Yeah, I would say so. And I’m not going to have time for this one tomorrow. I’ll tell you about the one who assaulted a gate agent at DFW, which you can’t do.

SPEAKER 02 : 4:32

Many people don’t know. I mean, much is not covered. You’re paying for every food, every bit of food that you eat. You know, you’re not paying for housing and the staff in it, but everything, even travel. If you’re not traveling with the president, if your kids are coming on a Bright Star, which is the first lady’s plane, we have to pay for their travel.

SPEAKER 04 : 4:54

Wow. I am just like… The first, well, almost like the former first lady, because I still had to pay for my house, you know, as a human living here in the United States. It’s former first lady, Princess Michelle Obama. her highness or whatever and uh she’s talking about she’s i don’t i don’t i’ve never understand i don’t get people who have the world served to them on a silver platter and yet still they bitch don’t get it welcome back to the program tana lash with you bottom of this first hour she was she’s is that her podcast i don’t even pay attention to her podcast i just oh Is that hers? I don’t know. She’s always behind some microphone talking about how hard her life is. Every day. Every time that we have these sound bites go around. This is a new one. And she’s complaining about the fact that she had to pay for food and travel. What? You know what? When my kids and I, when my family, when we went to go, we took our kids to 30A. down in the beautiful, beautiful Florida area, beautiful near Dustin. It’s just a gorgeous place down there. Can you believe that we had to pay for our own travel? I was like, what? And then, and then get this. We had to pay for our own food. Outrage.

SPEAKER 05 : 6:23

The oppression you had to deal with.

SPEAKER 04 : 6:24

It’s an outrage. It’s totally outrage. I was shocked. I thought all of these things would be given to me for free, and it wasn’t. No, she’s complaining because I guess she had a different idea of what she thought being the first lady was going to be like, like she was, I, all of that stuff was going to be just given to her. She was complaining about having to, I mean, it’s still private air travel. You had a flyer. They walked out with like 20 something million dollars. I think they’re okay. Didn’t how much money was he banking on book deals and speeches? I think y’all are going to be okay. I mean, y’all got a mansion in the Hamptons. That’s on the Atlantic beachfront. They also bought… Oh, my gosh. What was Tom Selleck, that Hawaiian show he did? Magnum P.I.? Magnum P.I. So the house that he apparently lived in for the show, like I guess it featured on the show, that’s the house they bought in Hawaii. And it’s like right there on the coast. In fact, there was a bit of a scandal because… They were doing something to the shoreline that actually encouraged erosion and it was against state law, but they were allowed to kind of do it anyway because they’re the Obamas. So you have two beachfront properties in addition to the big old historic place that they the pad that they have in Chicago. And they’re complaining that they had to pay for food and travel like some people don’t even have a house. And you’re complaining that you had to buy food and all of that for. I mean, what do you think that it was? This idea that positions in government are supposed to be everything subsidized, like you’re a member of the royal family is is asinine. I mean, you are serving the public. It’s not supposed to be a free for all. I mean, I realize that Democrats over the course of some years have transformed the expectation of public service to free for all. But it’s not supposed to be like that. It’s actually was supposed to actually kind of be a burden. And then people figured out a way to, you know, monetize everything and and grift off of it. And Trump is how much did you figure out? Trump is he’s donated his White House salary, his presidential salary.

SPEAKER 05 : 8:38

So over two terms, it would be three point two million total.

SPEAKER 04 : 8:41

Can I just say to be president of the United States and have to deal with all of that? I’m actually shocked that it’s only three point. And that’s probably before tax, too, right? Yeah. So that’s pre-tax. It’s roughly half, roughly half of that he’s going to walk away with. But still, I mean, you know, again, it’s supposed to be kind of burdensome. You’re serving and it. somehow changed over the years to where now people want to get in on the grift and they just go right from college into public office and I just don’t get it. So she’s complaining about having to pay for this stuff. She is always complaining. She grew up privileged. She doesn’t know poverty. The Obamas don’t know poverty. He was raised by what his grandparents, his grandmother or grandfather, which one was it? Vice president of a bank. His mom was this like bougie university professor. I mean, he had the most elite, privileged childhood. They would die if they had to grow up in the poverty, for instance, that I knew or regular middle class life that many of you out there listening know. They wouldn’t be able to handle that. They grew up in privilege from the very beginning. They have no idea what struggle is. They have no idea what poverty is. They have no idea about any of it. And they have this idealized expectation of what public office is supposed to afford them as opposed to what they can bring to public office. I frankly am tired of hearing her bitch and moan about everything. She has to be one of the most negative people I’ve ever seen. I can’t stand people like that. I cannot stand. And granted, I’m a curmudgeon. And I’m a cynic. But to not find joy in anything, to not, I mean, you’re the first lady of the United States and you’re still complaining. She acted like all the world, half the country loved you and they voted your husband into office twice. So can you stop with the tiny violins? You are the most pampered, privileged person ever. You can never do anything wrong. And you’re mad that you had to buy some sandwiches for your damn self for the love. It’s just good night. I just it’s just shocking. But it’s also insulting because it’s like, oh, this is what you have to offer me for that. You know what you were getting into running for the White House. But maybe be a little bit grateful for it, for the experience, instead of complaining that you had to fly your family. And by the way, when she’s talking about flying her kids out, I remember there was one time when she didn’t complain because they were flying to Hawaii for vacation. And I remember it came up that somebody had asked about something and she had made an offhand remark that they, yes, they paid for their daughters to fly out to Hawaii. And she said it so bitterly. And with so much resentment that I thought maybe you ought to take a step back. You have the means to do it and the resources to do it. You are the one person of the one percent in this country. Every argument that you try to make for identity politics is turned on its head because of your life. And you’re still complaining. Nothing’s ever going to be good enough for these people. You know, if they have problems in their marriage, no wonder she is like the ultimate Karen, never happy, constantly complaining. Nothing’s ever good enough. It’s just enough already. You can justify anything if you, you know, pay tribute to one of their stations. That’s all you got to do. We have a lot more on the way. We got a Florida man. Although I’m not really sure anything can top this, if I’m being honest. As we move, our partners at Bring You the Program, our friends over at Kel-Tec, Great company, great all-American company.

SPEAKER 05 : 13:07

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.

SPEAKER 04 : 13:12

So as you all know, sovereignty won over journalism at the Kentucky Derby. That was pretty crazy. I love the name. I love the symbolism that it has. It’s just so perfect. Bodies of animals everywhere. Toxic algae bloom is taking a toll on Southern California’s marine life. That’s this doesn’t this happen in the Gulf, too, because I remember reading about some of this stuff. They said that it’s I mean, it’s like poisonous. They’re talking about sea lions and some animals, you know, like all kinds of stuff, toxic fish that it’s just that. And it’s this algae bloom that, you know, happens every now and then, not just, you know, near California, but in the Gulf as well. The rise of single parents. This is an interesting piece that Cain marked because I think there’s financial times and I think there’s a lot that goes into it than just, you know, like economics or like various life choices. I you think that there’s an inability of people to connect with people. I think that that’s true. Yeah, because they get into that with this story. People who like work, work, work, and then they don’t really like I think a lot of it is driven by money. everything digital, digital life, digital socialization, people aren’t connecting the way that they used to. And I don’t think that that’s like specifically the younger generations as well. I’ve been hearing stories like older generations now too, like even boomers are starting to deal with some of this stuff where people are just like, they wanna just stay home and they’ll connect digitally or they’ll just, you know, it’s just very interesting, but that’s also leading to more and more people choosing to not have the traditional nuclear family. Single parents is the thing to do. I don’t know. There’s a lot that goes. This is bigger than just a quick five. This is interesting. A 12-year-old boy in New Zealand creates an AI pillbot to stop his grandmother from taking the wrong medication. This was so sweet. A little 12-year-old boy, Gabriel Anthony, he invented a robot and it programmed it via AI to help his grandmother. He calls it pillbot. He says she has poor eyesight. She takes a lot of pills because her conditions and sometimes because she can’t really recognize the pill and see it. She’ll take the wrong one. So he has pill bot and it recognizes what medications she needs and which ones, you know, she has to have a flashlight and a magnifying glass to identify pills. So he said that it actually takes a photo of the pill. It recognizes the pill based on its training. and it checks her pills before she takes them. That is amazing, and he needs to get an award for that because I love that so much. That’s how you properly young people use digital and have those advancements. Awesome. If you don’t have Real ID, you’re going to have a lot of travel headaches after May 7th. The Real ID. Isn’t that just… I go back and forth on this. Isn’t it just a way to coalesce everything federally? I think so. That’s what I think. I don’t know. So over the weekend… Trump tweeted out, what was it? The AI image of him as Pope as a joke. And all of the people who hate religion somehow wanted to pretend to be very upset for the Catholics. I don’t know if you guys saw this. So Trump tweeted out, it’s very, you know, very, very nice renaissance looking image of him as Pope with the number one. And tweeted it out or had it on his platform. And it went out from there. And all the left got mad. You know, the left that hates all religion anyway. Suddenly they were mad. And I was thinking about this when I saw this headline this morning. So there’s a Hollywood Bowl production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Now, in Hollywood, because they’re out of original ideas, they’ve had to sort of switch and modify their expectations of originality. And so now instead of originality, they just want controversy because they think the two are synonymous. I mean, they’re not, you know. I mean, Wick, by the way, you want to talk about, like, real controversy? Wick ate a baby bird. That’s controversial. Probably more artistic than, you know, I know he did. That’s a whole other story. Probably more artistic than what the Hollywood Bowl is planning to do with Jesus Christ Superstar. They have Cynthia Irvo, a blackballed lesbian, a BBL, who’s playing Jesus. And then Adam Lambert, yeah, he’s playing Judas. That actually seems fitting, you know, TBH. But… But everybody was mad about Trump with the AI Pope. Again, you got a BBL playing Jesus, but Trump with the AI Pope. Make that one make sense. I mean, he it was a joke. He was he was making a joke. This they’re not making a joke. They’re trying to offend. They’re not even making a statement. The whole point is they want to offend. We’ve gotten so dumb in our culture. A lot of this stuff, especially with this production, they act like they’re being thought-provoking. And that that is, again, a substitute for originality. Or controversy is a substitute for originality. Animals can be… They can do shocking things. Shock is cheap art. Shock isn’t even art. It’s a cheap imitation of art. It’s when… They can’t actually do the artistic thing, so they settle for the cheap imitation of it, and they pretend that, oh, you’re shocked? That’s compelling. Is compelling a necessary requirement to be considered art? I don’t think so. Not necessarily, especially when used and abused in this case. But all of these people that dragged him, I woke up, looked at the because he tweeted it out in the morning. And, you know, he doesn’t sleep. He just blinks for long periods of time. And that’s it. But I saw that, what was it, Pope Trump or Trump Pope was trending. And I’m like, oh boy, what happened? So I looked and I saw the AI image. I thought that’s funny. And then the left was mad. Oh my gosh, sacrilegious, blasphemous. What else were they saying? Like I’m running, going through the Rolodex of adjectives in my mind. All of my Catholic friends thought it was funny. And I have some pretty hardcore Catholic friends. Like I, look, I’m not Catholic. Some of my family was raised Catholic. My husband’s family is Catholic, part of them. I was raised Southern Baptist. Fun. But and we’re non-denominational. We’re Church of Christ. But, you know, I and my Catholic friends have always been so nice and explaining, OK, this is why they’re wearing the pointy hats, because I’m like, what’s up with these hats? And that’s a little chain cabana. Where would explain that? And they think it’s funny and they explain it to me. But none of them were offended by any of this. They were like, OK, he’s making a joke. He’s not trying to offend. He’s making a joke. Didn’t he order the flags half-masked for the Pope or something to that effect? But the left, they’ll do like Jesus Christ Superstar. What was the other one they did? Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Then there were a couple of other productions, and then there were some exhibitions that were poking fun at Catholicism or religious artifacts and things like that. The left never was offended over any of this. But it’s only because Trump is, that’s the only thing. Because he’s the thing that to them, he is the ingredient that can sour anything. If it’s something they’ve been for their whole lives, they will immediately argue against it if he’s involved. Because that’s how tribal people are. If the left has to agree with Trump on anything, they view that as they lost on that issue. And because they’re that narrow minded, like if you agree with someone on a particular issue and you have common ground, it doesn’t mean you’re giving anything up. It just means that, wow, both of you have the same thought on this issue. Now, you didn’t change your position. They didn’t change their position. You just have the same thought on an issue. But the left doesn’t look at it that way. They look at it as if they’re agreeing with someone who is across the aisle, then that nullifies anything. their position and they’re they don’t want to look like they’re wrong or that they have been modified in any way it is bizarre they are a walking psychological study the left is they really are so i i don’t know i am i am just it’s just i don’t want to hear anybody get i’m just tired of them complaining about pope trump trump pope or whatever it is
