Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida, man. So a teaching assistant charged after allegedly using a fecal spray at a high school. They're claiming damages to the AC system. So it's like a. Yeah, he had this spray. He was a teaching assistant who was arrested.

He used this poo spray to create a foul odor out of South Carolina high school. 32-year-old teaching assistant allegedly sprayed it to imitate fecal matter while at school multiple times. He acquired it online. People apparently had to seek medical attention and had respiratory issues. And then they had to spend $55,000 to inspect its AC and look at it. damages. So he's charged with disturbing schools and malicious property. Okay, here's the big thing. Why? Why did he do it? I need to know this because I, I've seen like videos on Instagram where they spray them into this like inflatable costumes and then, you know, everybody laughs.

Yeah. So they said that they're still investigating the situation, but it's been two days. So you can't, Come on. Why? They said it like really disrupted. None of the articles I'm seeing. They're, they just, I guess, was he doing it to be a jerk? I don't know. I was a kid. We used to play with that stuff.

I mean, it's just way. Did you send anyone to the hospital? No, nobody was whining. A Florida man shot a bear that was, a lot of bear stories, hiding in his shower. It was an actual bear animal. A central Florida man came face to face with a home intruder, but it was the bear. It was in his shower. It was hiding in a shower.

And he literally said that. thought there was an intruder in his bathroom. He was panicking. His dogs were barking. The bear ran into the bathroom and got into the shower and was literally hiding there. And he thought it took him a second to figure out what was happening. But he shot the bear. And unfortunately, the bear did not make it. Florida Fish and Wildlife.

They said, be vigilant. Don't leave food out, et cetera, et cetera. But, I mean, the bear was in his shower. Went into his house and hid his shower. This is not like a case of camping. He was, again, a nice one. But I was thinking about all of this in context with the pressure that foreign money plays into all of these colleges and universities across the country. Did you know that the biggest funder to American universities is Qatar?

Billions and billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars they have given? and it's interesting because if you look at where all the money, which I'm looking at now, if you look at where all they give their money, it's very interesting that that's where all, like for instance, you know, the protests where they were going after all the Jewish students, it's kind of interesting that those were the universities where they got the most money from Qatar. I'm just saying it just could be Kane, I'm sure, a total coincidence. It's, and there are a lot of things that have been written about this, and it's not just Qatar. China is as well, but Qatar is the biggest donor of two American universities. And so allow that

to kind of sit in your head for a little bit when you are wondering, why is it that all of this stuff like with the anti-Semitic protests where they actually were targeting people for being Jewish? They weren't like, well, we disagree with the Israeli government. They can't even tell you how it's structured. They just were mad because of to Jews. It's it. But think about how that really got kicked off and why it seems like it was expedited to this point. And then look at all the money that these companies or these countries have been pouring in. China and Qatar, they've poured just over the past few years. It's been like $29 billion. 29 billion dollars. Foreign donors have given as much to American universities, just like in the last handful of years, as they did in the last,

like in the last four years they've given as much as they did in the last four decades. So take four decades and condense it down into four years. There is an absolute, I mean, an explosion of foreign money on campuses. Cutter is the largest source. And all of these donations to these campuses, all of this started to get reported like in the 80s. they have given over 6 billion. China's 2.3 billion. The Saudis are like way below.

But I mean, Qatar is the largest source of all of this foreign money to these campuses. Now, the second largest source of foreign funding is China. So I told you that Qatar, 6.3 billion in counting. China is 5.6 billion and counting.

And just like, you saw it with Cutter, the donations from China have exploded over the past several years. And again, the universities where you saw all of the upheaval, where you couldn't even have TPP USA go on campus hardly, the Harvards, the Columbia's, oh, guess who, those are the ones that get the most money from China and Qatar. In fact, every single one of these universities that you have seen in the headlines, where the students are like rioting, or they're protesting to the extent where it's not safe for conservative speakers to even leave the campus and they have to hide in janitorial closets. Those are all the campuses that have received tons.

Those are all the universities that have tons of Qatari and Chinese money. Oh, it's a fact. The receipts are out. Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Stanford, Columbia, Harvard, lots of them. Why? Because it's soft power. it's a it's a it's to build soft power this they're expanding their influence if you don't think it's a nat sec issue i'll remind you every single revolution started in academia you could even

argue french revolution starting academia the color revolution in china started in academia russia academia academia Germany in the 30s academia academia started on college campuses every single time because you have minds that are easily influenced and there is a huge effort to continue that trend here in the United States that's why you've been seeing an increase in all of this stuff on college campuses because there are absolutely outside sources that are funding it they like the division they like the hostility spreading on college campuses and just like in every other nation where this has happened, it goes from there. So now it becomes a national security issue.

I had someone say, well, it really isn't. Tell that to China. Because their communist revolution started in their campuses and took over their entire country and now look. Tell that to 1930s Germany. Tell it to Russia with the Bolsheviks. I mean, I dare I go on? It's without exception. So these, this influence is, I mean, and the Qataris, they're all ramping up their donations.

We're going to talk a little bit about this to Stephen Yates as well. But it's interesting to note the free press had a piece where Harvard didn't comply with section 117 of the Higher Education Act. They were trying to not disclose all of this foreign financial funding. That seems sketch to the point where it. wasn't just like an over, it wasn't just like a, you know, someone just forgot accidentally. It wasn't just mere oversight. It was purposeful. And that this is one of the things that the administration is doing. They are looking at these connections between foreign money and the increasing violence and et cetera that's happening on college campuses. It's not just the

SORO stuff. It's these foreign countries that would like to sow division. It's very sun-z-oo. If you can sow division within your opponent, you don't even need to do anything because your opponent will divide in half and fight itself. That's exactly the design. It's a soft power move. And that's why it's a national security issue. I don't even know why. I mean, and this is just me just speculating, but why are these universities allowed to accept money? from foreign governments. Why? It's not like Harvard needs it.

Their endowment is like, is billions of dollars. Why are they accepting or allowed to accept money from foreign governments? I'm not even talking about, oh, here's a charitable group in United Arab Emirates. We're going to donate. No, no, no. It's like literally the Qatari government. Why are universities allowed to accept money from foreign? governments and you know that they come with strings attached. This is a giant question.

And then Berkeley, for instance, remember Berkeley where you had all of those riots and protests and all this stuff break out. Kane, if you had to guess how much money they had that they got recently with a partnership with the communist Chinese government, literally from China's China's government. How much would you guess? I would say 100 million or more? Double it. Seriously.

Double it and then go up a little bit. Good Lord. Yeah. Yeah. Here's the funny thing. Berkeley refused to report it. The Daily Beast, actually, I can't even believe I'm citing the Daily Beast, which is what the world's come to. They had their headline.

This was from May of 23. Berkeley's $220 million mistake exposed in a massive deal with China. So they were trying to get ahead of it and frame it as a mistake. But the people that were investigating the failure to disclose, they didn't really think it was a mistake because they found other purposeful, questionably purposeful omissions. Interesting, yes. So there's a lot of questions to be asked here. and all of this comes together.

I was thinking about all of this over this weekend, especially now that people are talking about approaching campus debates and campus events differently in light of security. That, I think that right there is the front line. Those college campuses are the front line. And I'm just, you know, I'm curious. I'd be curious to look at money going into that Utah Valley College. Go and look and see all of these universities where the students have gotten more and more agitated and progressive.

And it completely corresponds with the massive amount of donations that they get from foreign governments. I'm just saying there is enough there to not only beg the question, but pose a legitimate one. Not even assuming the premise is true. Now you can actually question whether or not it is. not even begging the question anymore. It's a, it's a legit question. This administration is going to have to get around this.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. A bear has attacked a 90-year-old woman in what, well, it did it in a grocery store as well, which is kind of insane. Well, Dollar General Store.

90-year-old woman, a black bear tore through. This was in New Jersey and went on a rampage. They had to euthanize it after attacked a night. I thought, you never. know when you hear bear now and rainbows, I just never know anymore. But some of it was cut on video. I just, she had

scratches on her legs, like thankfully she wasn't mauled. Bear looks crazy, I gotta say, bear looks crazy. They said that they had a 65-year-old that was recording everything that was happening, and apparently you can hear another man say, get the blank away from me. Of course,

it's in New Jersey. I just love that he's going to cuss at the bear and make the bear go away. You know, it's like Democrat. I think you're to cuss and make people agree with your policies. Anyway, everybody's okay, thankfully, but, or well, she was injured, but nobody else, they euthanized the bear. Okay, so a disabled man, this is an insane story. This is horrifying, actually. A disabled man ended up, a self-driving robot delivery cart cut him off in traffic and reversed into him. He was on a mobility scooter. So it was a food delivery robot

And apparently There's video that captured it The man who has cerebral palsy Was on his way home from a procedure And a serve robotics cart crashed into his Mobility Scooter that he uses for long distances It's like all over Instagram And it literally

It was almost like it was doing it like it was a jerk It looked on purpose I'm sorry this looked on purpose He screamed as he was trying to zigzag on the sidewalk to avoid the robot's jolting impact, but it literally cut in front of him and then slammed on its brakes. Like I, I watched this. Dude, I'm sorry. This robot tried to kill him. This robot legit try to kill this guy. Don't tell me that they don't do that because one of them committed suicide. One of the robots did. Remember, he was in Washington where this little security robot was like,

I'm done with life and rolled itself into a frownting. I'm not that actually happened. Totally happened. Oh, it's, I don't know. Americans have had had. They have so much car debt. Apparently it could start a 2008 like recession, although I think we're already there, if I'm being honest. What do you mean to start? The soaring cost of cars and insurance, a lot of people are pushed to the financial brink.

And now drivers apparently owe $1.6 trillion in car loans. It's a bigger burden than federal student loan debt or credit cards. It's up 20% since 2020. And the squeeze is showing up in a lot of miscar payments, delinquencies, defaults, repossessions, things like that. So it's pretty wild. but we're already there. Let's see.

And apparently, oh, DFW had to, and that's an old one, that's because it's not really in practice anymore. But there have been, there was a cyber attack on European airports. Heathrow operates like there's a cyber attack

on it anyway every given day. I mean, I've never been to a crazier airport in my life. But apparently they had a lot of problems all over the weekend. Canada, all over Europe as well. The Dublin airport was evacuated because of safety concerns. the checking and boarding. Of course, you know, you imagine Irish people not being able to go,

go in and get on their planes, might get fighty as we move our partners who help bring you the program, Caltech, the PR 57, it's a 5-7, rotary barrel pistol, 40% lighter than the next 5-7.

It's from Keltec-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you. We're at the bottom of the second hour. The story of Tom Holman, we were talking a little bit about this earlier. I immediately was just like, hmm, don't know if I believe this. why and the story is he was accused of being involved in some kind of in a sting they got him

accepting $50,000 in cash to get some government contracts and basically to produce some government contracts. That's kind of, that's what the accusation is. And it sounds stupid. Here's why it sounds stupid. You're Tom Homan. You are, you know you're going to have a significant role in the president's administration, correct? You know you're going to have a sizable role in the next admin. Why would you accept a bribe? And yes, this is a lot of money to us, but not to D.C. And people who play in that pit, you're going to take $50,000 in cash and wreck your whole professional life and your chances coming up in the next admin for $50,000 in cash. That you can't even live for a year off of. Seriously? I mean, you could, but I'm sure he's got, you know what I mean?

That's not a lot to wreck your whole life and your whole body of work and your whole reputation and to sell out. That's number one. Number two, you're Tom Homan. You're not stupid enough to accept cash just in your hands from people. That's not how this is done. How the hell do people think this is done? My gosh, come on. Sometimes the media is very, very stupid. If you're going to, all I'm saying is if I'm going to take a bribe. I'm going to do Bitcoin. I'm doing crypto. At the very least, I'm going to have somebody, oh, well, look, I just got this hotel room to stay

the night and there's this cash under the bed that I had no idea was prearranged to be left here. That's what I'm doing. You know what I'm saying? I'm not going to be like, yeah, I would like to take the $50,000 in my hands. Now, thank you. You know, no. This is so stupid.

Yes, here's your receipt. Put bribe in the memo. Nobody, that's not how this is done. And it's Tom Homan. Again, I think that everybody's got a currency, and that's not one of his. Now, the White House just addressed it through their spokesperson, if we can get this ready. They just addressed it and pretty much said the same thing, although in a more current fashion. Listen.

Sure. Thanks, Caroline. So, too on the woman investigation, I mean, can you just speak to the president to ask the Justice Department to close the case and does Holman have to return the $50,000? Well, Mr. Homer never took the $50,000 that you're referring to. So you should get your facts straight number one, number two. This was another example of the weaponization of the Biden Department of Justice against

one of President Trump's strongest and most vocal supporters in the midst of a presidential campaign. You had FBI agents going undercover to try and trap one of the president's top allies and supporters, someone who they knew very well would be taken. taking a government position months later. Mr. Holman did absolutely nothing wrong. And even the president's Department of Justice, even Cash Patel's FBI, looked into this just to make sure they had a number

of different prosecutors and FBI agents who looked into this. They found zero evidence of illegal activity or criminal wrongdoing. In the White House and the president stand by Tom Homan 100%, because he did absolutely nothing wrong. And he is a brave public servant who has done a phenomenal job helping the president shut down the border. Well, and there you go.

So it's a bunk. So can we stop with this dumb story? He didn't do it. I mean, you're relying on people who have lied to you repeatedly. And they're like, no, no, no, this time we're true. This time is true. Swear zies. It just doesn't make sense.

I was reading my friend, Andy McCarthy. And he was talking about his incredulity with regards to this. You know, like meeting covertly recorded on video, $50,000 in cash. you know, all of this stuff. That's what they're, but they've, you know, they, the report they said was the Justice Department apparently assessed it and was like, there's no there there. What are you guys talking about? It originated under their previous admin. Okay, so the Biden administration started it. Now, he does have the caveat that it actually began, where is this? Let me pull this up, because he had a great piece. It actually began, they were, FBI was a, it started. It started. started in Texas. A suspect the FBI was investigating in Texas was overheard claiming that Holman was soliciting payments, et cetera, et cetera. And Andy was saying that, well, what's reported sounds bad, but, you know, it can't just be the FBI. It's, you know, it started in Texas. Well, it can't just be the, it absolutely can. They're still running that off in Texas.

You see what I'm saying. So that doesn't, that doesn't make any sense. And the Trump administration, as I said, a Cestine was like, there's no there there. He was like in the private sector. Again, you have to remember, this originated, the investigation originated under the Biden administration. And it began when Tom Homan, and Cain remind everybody, when did Tom Homan actually take his position

in the administration? It wasn't during the Biden administration. Nope, sure wasn't. It wasn't until after Trump was inaugurated. Can I ask you a question? question. What is the point of bribing someone? Let's play this out for a second. All right. To gain special favor because they have a position that could be advantageous to what you want. Okay, but that last part, they have a position that could be advantageous to what you want. At that point in time, when this investigation under the Biden administration began,

did Tom Homan have that position? He sure did not. He didn't. So why the hell would you be bribing someone who is in no position to deliver. It's almost like it was a setup. That's weird. Wait, no way. You mean to tell me that the same FBI that had some wayward agents that literally were able to get a wiretap on a private citizen over his politics because they went around the proper operating procedure with a FISA court, that that same entity that worked in

collusion with all of them, that we. can't trust them on this. What? Much shock. So surprise. I can't believe it, guys. So I just think, if I'm going to bribe somebody, I'm going to make sure that they are worthy of being bribed. If you can't, if you're not even in the position to do anything for me, why am I going to bribe?

You know what I? This is stupid. But it is the Biden administration king. And think about it. It's all they, they couldn't run on any sort of. accomplishments that Biden had over the four years. So their only thing, and by the way, their only thing for the longest time that I can remember is just media smears.

That's literally all it is. Yeah. So I don't know. Congress may determine that they would look into it or not. I don't know. But I would imagine that when it is, I mean, Homan did get an admin job where they did not, he did not have to go through the Senate confirmation process instead of just an outright nominating him for a cabinet post.

I don't, the only, and that just might be timing, I don't know. It also might be a way for him to just, you know, try to people out the different positions in different departments with people that had his back. I mean, it could be a number of things. But the left is saying, well, you know, he didn't have that Senate confirmation process, so that's evidence of what? Of not having a Senate confirmation process? Yeah, you're correct.

He was appointed into this admin job. is it confirmation that he was involved in a bribery scheme? No. It wasn't. That's, I really wish that they would look at the crimes that exist instead of making up things that don't exist. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast.
