Dana Lashes
Absurd Truth podcast,
sponsored by Keltec.
It's his life mission
to make bad decisions.
It's time for Florida Man.
That's Florida Man.
All right, so first up,
we had Florida Woman Amber sent us the story
and I am not reading it.
I don't know how I begin to read it.
Well, let's see.
So we've got...
Oh, boy.
A Florida man was arrested
after hitting a police officer
in the face with a snowball.
Did they...
They got enough snow, I guess, down there to make.
Now, if it was on the beach where he did this, there's going to be a sandy snowball.
That would hurt.
So he was arrested.
He hit an officer in the face with a snowball.
It was a snowball fight that escalated into chaos.
And this 22-year-old man who threw the offending ball was arrested.
It was in Tallahassee, and there were people throwing snowballs at cars passing by on Madison Street.
Citizens were complaining.
Fox 35 Orlando says that then police had to respond.
And authorities said, you can't throw stuff, including snowballs into a moving vehicle.
That's a felony.
But then when the participants, when the police arrived, the snowball people turned on the cops,
and they began throwing them throwing snowballs at the police.
One hit someone's cruiser, another one got hit right in the face.
They had to give them warnings over the PA system.
Apparently it was a crowd.
It's described as a crowd.
They ignored commands to disperse, and the snowballs were flying.
So police were like, all right, you brought a snowball to the fight.
We'll bring pepper balls.
And they didn't cause any injuries, but they did use pepperball.
You're just sitting over there smiling so much about that.
I don't know how to.
I mean, yes, you shouldn't throw snowballs at passing cars,
but I just think this whole thing is hysterical.
I think it's hilarious that snow in Florida, and then this is what happens.
They decide it's combat.
It snowed.
It's time for combat.
Oh, no, we had that one yesterday.
So let me, oh, gosh, I don't want to read this one.
Florida woman Amber sent. She's the one who I think, and I know she's cackling right now,
she tries to look for the most offensive stories possible and send them to me. Like those, I'm okay,
I'm going to try to do this. I was triple dog dared. Good luck. I have to take that. I got to take
that dare. A man with, um, uh, abnormally large parts of his male copulatory area. All right. I did that well.
was arrested for exposing said area to a teenager.
If you look at this dude, he looks like it.
He looks like crossed between that poltergeist preacher and a pervert.
Oh, yeah, he just, oh, right?
So he faces charges of lewd behavior towards a minor.
His sunrise police did it.
His name is Mark Buckley, 62.
He was arrested because he was exposing himself and apparently bragging about his bits.
Everything about this story is so nasty.
We're all going to go throw up a little bit.
Everything about this is nasty.
And then days after the inauguration, there was a Florida guy who was arrested for trespassing at Mar-a-Lago.
He tried hopping the wall.
How would you think that was going to go for you, my dude?
A 32-year-old man was arrested.
He scaled a wall to get to Mar-a-Lago two days after the inauguration.
And Secret Service had him immediately.
and they took him into custody. His bond has been set at $100,000. With everything going on in the world right now, the economy, conflicts, the open border spiraling national debt, the devastating inflation, it's critical that you have a plan for diversifying and protecting your savings. And that's why so many, including myself, have turned to precious metals like gold and silver to help protect our savings. And I partnered with the top rated precious metals company Goldcoe to make that happen.
great company with a great reputation and they could not have made the process any easier.

Welcome back to the program. Dana last year with you broadcasting live from Shot Show in Las Vegas,
and he cracks me up every single time we talk. My very good friend, Senator Colonel Allen West,
oh, now you're standing up, Colonel, come on. Well, yeah, I have to stand out of attention.
He told me he goes, play back in black because I'm black. And at first I thought he was saying
a lyric and then I stopped and looked at him. It was a riot. It's good to see you. And I'm dressed
because I can't dress myself. It's easy. It's good to see you. It's good to be seen. Look nice and
rested and I'm all good. We were talking and everybody knows, everyone knows Alan West because
you have your own program that you do and you do a great job. I can't catch all, I can't
catch it. I only watch a few people. You're one of the people I actually do watch.
You very, but I can't watch every episode. But I like your, I like your commentary. I like the
way you approach stuff and it's just very, you know, matter of fact. But you and you and I
I were talking, because we were getting into some of like the deportations and, you know, the illegal
crossing.
The Marines are heading to the border.
We don't know exactly where yet.
Yeah.
But what you were telling me is that what they really need to be focusing on is that big bend area,
which is incredibly mountainous.
That terrain's difficult because that's where you said the real baddies are coming in.
That's where the people, the gotaways, the people that don't want to be detected and caught.
And as a matter of fact, when you go out there and you talk to the Border Patrol in the Big Bend sector,
They're Alpine, Texas and what have you.
They actually put carpeting on the bottom of their shoes so they can't be tracked.
To hide their tracks.
Absolutely.
So these are some serious actors out there, and you know those mountain passes.
That's not easy terrain.
No, it's not.
So while we're focusing on the kids and the women and everyone that's coming across in Del Rio, Eagle Pass, or whatever,
the bad actors are coming out there in West Texas.
How do you even begin to enforce that in that area?
I mean, drones seem like it's the easiest thing.
Well, you've got to have drones.
You have to have aerial surveillance.
You have to have bodies on the ground.
Because, you know, this is just the same as, you know, us being over in Afghanistan or these type of place where you have that mountainous road of terrain.
That is a good point.
That's why you need to have military down there.
This is not just a law enforcement type of thing.
And we send our military to provide security on everybody else's border.
We built up here outside of Gaza.
Oh, no.
How did that work out?
You know, so well.
Yeah.
Feed Hamas.
Feed Hamas.
Yeah, let's give them supplies that they'll just sell back on the black market.
Yeah, that's actually a really good point to get, because they know how to do this,
and they know that terrain, that's what they've trained in, they know it.
Yeah, and so to have the Marines down there or get someone like the 10th Mountain Division of the United States.
Absolutely, that's their whole thing.
Oh, that sounds fun.
Yes.
Oh, my gosh, the 10th Mountain Division, Cain, get them out there to handle it.
Because that's, you're right, nobody ever talks about every now and then it comes up,
but honestly, because that's a scary area when you think of it.
It's beautiful, and then you realize, it.
Oh, cartels.
Oh, sure.
You go out and you talk to the folks there in Alpine, Texas, and they will tell you, yeah,
we always have these folks that are transiting across our ranches.
We see them all the time.
I was out there one time eating at a restaurant, and the restaurant owner said, yeah, we see
the illegals just come right across, and they just continue on.
And it's always single military-age males out there, and those are the ones we need to be focusing on.
Isn't that the area where, like, two or three years ago, there was a couple jet skiing in the lake
in that area, the Big Bend area, like on the border, or no, in the Rio.
They were actually in the river.
Yeah. Yeah.
And he was shot and killed.
The husband was shot and killed by cartels.
Well, absolutely, because the cartels on the other side, guess what they have.
They have observation posts.
In the military, we call it LPOPs, listening post, observation posts.
And so they're looking across, and they're making sure that no one is paying attention
to their infiltration routes and things of this nature.
And they have scouts that are out just as well.
So that's why this is a military operation.
And President Trump has the right perspective in putting our forces down.
This is not a violation of posse comitatis.
This is protecting your border.
It's not.
We're not employing the military against American citizens.
We're employing the military against invaders.
Because you know what?
What you just said, I mean to stop on that from it, that's huge.
Because the states, so I remember when Jan Brewer in Arizona was trying to enforce,
and the DOJ came down on her like a ton of bricks to stop her from enforcing
security and
border enforcement
or dealing with border
enforcement in her area.
But she had the right to do that
as a governor.
So it was weird for the federal
government to say
you can't enforce this
because it's a federal government
matter.
Well then the federal government
then that you just gave the argument
well then you can't send the military.
That's the whole point.
It's a federal issue.
The whole point is that
in Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution,
which is known as the guarantee clause,
the federal government is supposed to protect
every state in the union from invasion.
So if they don't do what they're supposed
opposed to do, Article 1, Section 3, Section 10, clause number 3, says exactly what states
can do when the federal government fails so that they can secure themselves and they can do it
with impunity.
It lays down every, you know, means or resource.
So if the federal government does not do their constitutional duty, the states have a right
to do that.
And it was just amazing during the Biden administration that they tried to bring the hammer down,
and of course, doing the Obama administration.
as well. Talking with Colonel Allen West, if you're all watching the simulcast, Channel 347
DirecTV, or if you're listening across the country, I had a conversation with someone in Army
Futures Command a couple of weeks ago, and they were talking about recruitment, and everyone
seemed a little hopeful, you know, after maybe, you know, the election, maybe, this is actually
before the election, I need to modify that. It was right before the election, and everyone was
being very hopeful. Like, maybe, you know, if this goes the right way, then, you know, we'll be
able to deal with military, and, you know, we have a problem with recruitment and messaging,
and I spoke up and I said, well, respectfully, if I can be very frank, I'm like, I don't know if messaging's your problem when you got guys at the Air Force wearing skirts and lipsticks, and then they're, you know, like the top of the food chain up there.
And then you got other military leaders that are leaving our men and women to die at Abbey Gate.
And you got others that are, you know, making them withhold, defending themselves and the people that they're serving with.
And then we get unnecessary fatalities.
I'm like, that's kind of what our young men, including my military age sons, and one of them's on the fence about it.
That's what they're seeing.
And they're like, wait, if I serve and give my all to my country,
is my country going to be there for me?
And they couldn't answer that.
Well, of course he couldn't answer that because he couldn't give you an honest answer
because he's still in uniform.
But it's not a messaging problem.
It is the actions that they saw in the previous administration that you just articulated.
When people can understand their pronouns better than they can understand their task and purpose,
you know, the purpose of a military, and even Colin Powell said this,
is to go in and kill people.
break stuff. That's just the bottom line. You know, when I was in the middle of, I wasn't trained
to make Bill Rhodes and all this stuff. So I was an artillery officer. I was trained to blow things up
and blow people up. Can I say that you have one of the most badass stories I think I've ever heard?
Oh, stop. No. Everybody knows his story, right? He was saving lives. Yeah, you were. You were
out there saving lives and they tried to come at you for it. I know your story. That's what a commander's
supposed to do. You can't suppose to look after his truce because guess what? If they know that you got
their back and you're out there, you know, hooking and jabbing with them on, you know, patrols
and combat operations, they're going to fight tough. I think Denzel could play you in a movie
about your life. I don't know. He looked pretty good in that gladator, too. I mean, I just,
I feel, right? Like, if I was casting, I'd be like, okay, Denzel's going to play her in
Island West and then we'll fill everything else out. We'll get, you know, maybe Angela Bassett
for, you know, your wife and, you know, get everything. I see, like, I'm really good
director. You already got the movie done? I've already done in my head, yeah.
You think Denzel can pull off the salt and pepper flat top? That's what I'm
worried about. I don't know if he, I think he could. Yeah, he might be able to do it. But,
I mean, you get it. And from your, how, how different is it from when you were in active duty
to now? Totally different. That fast. It's totally different. Yeah, it doesn't take long. It takes,
you know, the policies that come from a certain administration can change the, the course and
direction of a military, or any government agency. And that's what we saw in these four years.
And so we have a military this atropede, you know, if you don't use your muscles,
you know exactly what happens.
So we have a military that is not trained up in the skills that is supposed to be trained.
That warrior ethos that P.C. has talks about it.
I was going to ask you about that.
We've got to restore that.
And that's for men and women.
Look, I understand this.
I believe in fairness and all this stuff.
But we do not have men and women competed against each other in figure skating.
Yeah, that's a great point.
So if men and women can't compete against each other in figure skating,
how the hell are you supposed to tell me that, okay, men and women are equal?
on the battlefield.
That dog don't hunt.
And so I think that we need to get people that have that perspective and understanding.
Because there's nothing fair about if you and I have to go mono-imano.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
You're going to whoop me.
And you can't change the standards.
I can yell louder, but you'll whoop me.
And I'm 64.
And I guarantee you, if I still lay the punch on Awesome Dana Lash, it will probably break your joy.
I can dodge, but at some point I'd get hit.
I'm quick, but, yeah, at some point I get hit.
It'd be, yeah, I get it.
So let's get back to normality.
You mentioned Hux.
What do you think of him?
I think that he's going to do a great job.
I think the most important thing for Pete Hankseth is to surround himself with a stable of stallions.
That means the deputy secretary, the undersecretaries, those type of folks really have to be strong to be able to implement those policies.
And you've got to root things out seven or eight levels deep.
You've got to get rid of all these people.
Because this is multi-decade's many layers.
I mean, people call it the deep state.
I just call it the bureaucratic administrative state.
So, you know, the president has issued an order by all these DEI offices closing.
And so what are they trying to do?
They changed the name of the office like you just saw with the ATF.
So I think that you have to really go on there and say, you're out.
I think that's hysterical, by the way.
They just, because Trump gave this order, they've got to get rid all this DEI in government.
And they're like, oh, we'll just change the position.
No one will ever know.
Yeah.
We'll just change the title on the website.
Yeah, I was born in the morning, not this morning.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Exactly. We're talking with our friend Alan West and his last two books,
We Can Overcome an American Black Conservative Manifesto and Hold Texas, Hold the Nation.
Let me ask you about that, too. Hold Texas, hold the nation.
So two very interesting states that I'm watching.
So Florida and Texas, and everyone always says, oh, you've got a super majority,
that's great. You should be able to do everything as Republicans.
We're learning that you can't. I mean, so in Florida, the weak Republicans,
those are the ones that wanted gun control and all this other stuff.
They're fighting to Santas and Trump because they think that they think that they,
should be able to wait till March to go into office.
We don't have that time to spare.
And then in Texas, they just guaranteed that Democrats can be on committee chairs.
And so basically everything that we do with the Republican supermajority is going to have
to get approved by Democrats.
Yeah, it's amazing to me because in the state of Texas, the state house has 150 seats.
You've got 88 Republicans and 62 Democrats.
Pretty easy, right?
Well, instead, you got 36 Republicans that went over and joined with 49 Democrats to
select a speaker.
And now you just had a rules package that passed that, you know, gave the Democrats all of this power on committees to include being able to kill legislation.
Why? Why did they do that?
People are just cowards. There are some Republicans that are just cowers.
And I can understand why you would. Donald Trump won Texas about 15 percentage points.
Ted Cruz won Texas, his Senate seat era I thought was going to be so close, 9 to 11 points.
So why do we think that we need to go and be kumbaya?
with these people that they'll sled our throats.
I mean, figuratively and literally, if they could.
So I think that you're going to see a lot of Republicans.
This will be their last legislative session in the Texas State House.
How long is this damage going to last?
Because I know the big fight was to oust Dade Fowlin as Speaker,
but it seems like now we replace Dade Failing with Dade Failing 2.0.
Yeah, Dustin Burroughs, which is just one of his cronies.
And everyone was cheering when Dave Phelan said,
I'm not going to run for speaking.
I said, it doesn't matter.
Yeah, something's up.
Yeah, something's up.
And so I think that you really got the clean house.
And look at those 36 Republicans that voted with the Democrats to select this guy to be our speaker.
Because by their own rules in the Texas State House, they're supposed to select a speaker out of their caucus.
Will you come back and take over the party in Texas, please, for the love of all things holy?
I'll come back and do whatever God and Dana Lash tells me to do.
So if I pray to God, please may Colonel Island West come back around the...
It's not, though, because I'm begging him to use...
is the power of his servants for his glory.
So, you know, can just make that happen?
Ask boldly.
Ask boldly, Colonel.
Ask boldly.
You got me.
Yes, sister.
Amen.
Amen, sister.
Colonel Alan West, I'm so happy to see you here, my friend.
I got to tell people he's one of the realest ones in this industry in politics.
I wish you'd go back into it, honestly.
I get why you don't like it.
Well, I'm the chair over in Dallas County, so we've got some good things we're doing there.
That's Dallas County.
I mean, no offense.
It's not my county, though.
I want you where I can, in my county, where it can,
be better for me.
Terrence, good county.
I know.
It's a great county.
Bo's great.
I mean, but maybe like take over the whole state party.
I already did that.
I know, but do it again.
You want the brother back?
Yes.
Bring the brother back.
Back in black.
Yes, back in black.
That's right.
Alan West, always good to see you, my friend.
God bless you.
All family pharmacy, you just need to bookmark this website.
I've never been to a website where they make it easier to get the medicines that you need.
And look, for like, I get it.
If you want to go to a doctor and you want to have.
have they have doctors that are on their staff that you can actually talk to. So for instance, when I
over Thanksgiving, I was getting super sick. I had sinusitis and it was turning into strep.
And I had people coming on. I was hosting for Thanksgiving. I don't have time for this.
So I went on all family pharmacies website, all family pharma.com. And I use my own code name. I'm not
going to even lie about it. I drop my own name and I got it, you know, got it discounted for 10% off.
It's all family pharma.com slash Dana.
And I was able to get my azithromycin because if I were to go to my doctor, that's the exact
same thing.
They're going to prescribe me.
I've been, this ain't my first rodeo.
And then I had it overnighted.
Got here at 9 a.m.
9 a.m.
I ordered this stuff at like 7 o'clock last night.
So it was amazing how quickly that they got it there.

They have everything.
I've remectin, which I take ahead of big events for the antiviral properties.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick 5.
I know you guys are going to be totally shocked about this.
TSA's facial recognition tech is highly accurate.
A review says, someone else, though, said it was highly inaccurate.
And I don't know.
DHS said that they had self-identified black volunteers that participated in it,
and they had the lowest face-matching success rate of any demo.
with an overall accuracy of 98%
and that the technologies that they're using to verify,
they said that they're trying to make,
you know, when you go now,
you can, a lot of them,
they just take a picture of your face as you're boarding,
and now it's supposed to,
it's not that accurate, though.
They're trying to make you feel comfortable,
and they're trying to say that it's accurate.
But isn't this basically like the red light camera of identification?
So, oh man, I've got questions.
All right, moving on.
This, oh, goodness, your next.
Spirit Airlines flight if you have offensive tattoos and see through clothing, you could get kicked off.
I don't know why people try. I don't like the idea of dressing up like a hobo to get on a plane.
Like I don't want to see your ripped sweats. I don't want to see, like you don't need to be wearing
leggings. Leggons ain't pants, right? You don't need to be wearing leggings. You don't even
wearing crop tops. You know, cover your ass for crying out loud. You know, you're getting on a plane.
Just like make it nice for other people. But they said Spirit Airlines might have to, the tattoos
thing I don't get.
But I guess
if people are barefoot
they said
or if their
clothing is lewd
or obscene
then they
Oh my gosh
if you're barefoot
and you try to get on a plane
I'm going to cut your feet off
you don't even get a chance
to put shoes on.
We're just going to cut them right off
because that's nasty
with a capital
nah.
It's gross.
Also, let's see,
quick headlines.
Bucky's a suing.
Ooh.
It's a Buckees fight.
It's a beaver fight.
What?
Bucky's is suing North Texas, a North Texas-based gas station chain over trademark infringement.
It's called Superfuels.
Superfuels is also using a beaver.
Well, they said it's an anthropomorphic dog.
It looks like a beaver.
And that Bucky says it's a complete copy of their Buckees beaver.
So the courts are going to, they're going to duke it out in the courts.
Oregon DMV is closing its east port.
location after complaints to the landlord included quote sewage smells sporadic water pressure and all
kinds of maintenance problems i mean it is a federal government office so it makes sense that it smells like
well you know what i mean i don't even like the fact that they're a dmv and they have to they have a landlord
like they're a government agency and they have some sort of landlord like how do they not buy that
building themselves yeah that's actually a good point that's actually a good point uh let's see
The Associated Press says it's going to change Mount Denali to Mount McKinley,
but it's not going to honor Gulf of America.
The Associated Press.
That's all right.
I'm honoring it.
Yeah, you guys can say Gulf of Mexico.
I'm going to say Gulf of America, but I don't understand the Denali McKinley thing.
They said they're renaming Denali to Mount McKinley because that's apparently one of the,
that was an edict from Trump and EO, but they said that they're not going to honor anything
related to Mexico or international body.
and they said the Gulf of Mexico has carried that in for more than 400 years, etc.
Oh my gosh, just call it Gulf of America, you dim wits.
What's the big deal?
Just stop.
They just want to fight.
Additionally, let's see here.
Canada wants to help restart the Keystone XL pipeline.
That's very good news, right, as we're unleashing energy and going to be resurrecting our economy,
the premier of Alberta Canada said they would like to restart conversations with the Trump administration
about re-approving the Keystone XL pipeline.
Because remember, they decommissioned it,
and then they began deconstructing the actual pipeline
and they had to dig it up.
They were digging parts of it up.
So that would be great if we could get something like that
back in action and re-implement that.
And that's actually, I think it's been what,
decommissioned out for a couple of years,
but they were, I mean, it's like one of the easiest ways
to get crew down to Houston where it needs to go,
and they've been very respectful of the land.
This is just environmental nonsense.
I want to switch gears here now,
Cabinet. Audio sound 18. Elizabeth Warren goes after Pete Hegseth over his drinking. Listen.
Secretary of Defense has to be ready to go 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Look, I understand
there are people who have alcohol problems, but we cannot trust the safety of our country
to someone who has demonstrated repeatedly using very bad judgment with alcohol and doing it in ways that truly have incapacitated him.
Okay, so that's such hyperbole.
That's so ridiculous.
I mean, he did this show.
It was for Fox Nation.
It was like this, you know, special that they did.
And he sat down with a bunch of veterans and they had scotch, right?
And they were drinking scotch and they were having a discussion.
and it was, you know, or bourbon.
I don't know.
It was part of their, part of the thing.
This has been extrapolated and exaggerated and modified to now mean that he is drunk all the time,
24-7, and he just keeps a flask under his desk at Fox.
And that's such a lie, but that's how they're trying to misrepresent all of this.
It's so dumb.
And honestly, I mean, he's a veteran.
He's, you know, 40-something years old.
If he has, you know, a beer or a couple of drinks every now and then,
Or maybe if he's out, you know, with friends and family and, you know, he has a couple drinks.
As long as he's not getting behind the wheel, why is this a big deal to Liawatha?
I mean, why is this such a big deal to Fokohannis?
Why is this such a big deal to her?
Why?
I mean, remember when she was like, oh, sweetie, would you like a beer?
And then her husband acted shocked.
Like, who are you and what did you do with my wife?
I feel like she beats him with a broomstick when there was like no cameras.
It was the weirdest damn thing I've ever seen.
Can I just stop for a minute?
You remember that?
Like, where's the body language?
experts for that. That man looked
like he was whipped. Didn't he? No, I mean
not like that way, like the bad way. Like he
actually gets beat with sticks or something.
He, she officers, like
oh, sweetheart, would you like a beer?
And he like flinched. Do you see
him? She's doing him stupid
and not put that video up on Instagram.
I think he was blinking Morse code
if you look at the video. Yeah, he's probably like,
uh-huh, oh me, uh-as-oh.
He's like freaking out.
That was so weird. That was like not
normal behavior, you know?
Like you can tell interactions between couples what's normal and what's put on.
Like, oh, hey, baby, I want beer, I'll get you one.
Or I'm getting me one.
You want one?
But then she, like, makes a big, like, even the way she was standing in front of the camera.
It was like this.
I'm going to act it out if you're watching.
Oh.
And she's, like, making sure she's posed right before the camera.
Oh, honey.
Would you like a beer?
And he looks at her and he's like, no, you dumb broad.
I don't drink beer.
You stupid, dumb woman.
How long have we been married?
You know what I don't drink beer?
And she's like, oh, I like a cold one.
And then she's like drinking it so awkwardly.
It's the weirdest, the weirdest stuff I've ever seen.
But I'm telling you, that's telling you.
So she has no, man, that's a big water bottle.
Golly.
All the little ones were gone.
So I got the biggin.
I got the bigin.
What size would you like, Grante?
Biggin.
I'll have that one.
So she's attacking him.
Look, I don't know how long you're going to hold this up.
I think this one and Gabbert will be held up.
Everybody else, actually, Gabbert will probably be held up less.
But I think it's just Hegg Seth, because he's charismatic,
and I think because he's charismatic,
I think that's one of the, more so than the drinking.
I think it's just because, and the drinking,
it's just social drinking.
Why is that a big deal?
I mean, for crying out loud, you know.
I had a gin martini with dinner last night.
You know, you get big deal.
You know, responsible and moderation and social,
just, you know, when you're at dinner, that's not a big deal.
I've know him and I know a lot of people who know him
and I hear gossip like you would not believe
if he was a drunk and he was abusive
I would have heard about it from all of my friends
that work with him and that
are in the same circle
so I've not heard that
so I'm just saying I think it's it's part
they just he's charismatic and they don't like that
I think that's a part isn't that a weird reason
because he can say something
because he's charismatic
and he's a younger dude.
I mean, compare him to Millie.
It's the difference between pandering and connecting.
And that's what they hate about the right.
The left hates the fact that they can easily connect,
even though they think that they dominate.
Because we look normal.
Because our dudes don't lob off their penises and they don't get into skirts.
That's why.
I mean, hell, we look normal.
Our men are normal.
Our women are normal.
You know, we don't have, like, dudes in skirts.
You know, in the Air Force going, it's ma'am.
Do you like my medals?
call me, call me Joan.
Like we don't have that.
Our people are just like, can we just get on with a job?
We just live our lives.
We just do our jobs. It would be great.
