Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. The stuff that happens on break is insane. All right. Let's see here. Okay, let me look at the Trump banner one. This guy.

I've read, I think I've read something similar. There was a guy who painted his house, an American flag. He was mad. This guy is the, it's a viral, it's a 30A house, and he has giant Trump banners. One of them is Trump pointing. It's his, I mean, it goes like three levels. And he's going, who's your daddy? Seagrove Beach.

It's a house along the coast. They, homeowner would not take down his banners. And so he got hit with $63,000 in fines. And so he draped a new one over the balcony that said Trump coming home. I mean, there are three stories on. So it's a big banner just so you know that. Like it's the size of an office building. He's displayed various Trump banners since 2020.

He had one that says Trump's coming home, 2025. That was the latest one. And he took a picture of in front of his house in a Stars and Stripes jacket that says Trump on it. Is he dancing or posing? I don't know. And he's in front of his banners. One of them says bulletproof. The other says, who's your daddy?

And the other says Trump coming home 2025. And he says, he's not taking them down. So they, it's Walton County Code Compliance. They're saying that his banners are violating the scenic quarter code 6105. And it enforces a fee of $50 per day for every day a banner is hung. He's had these things out for 42 months. He says that it's protected by the First Amendment. And he goes, I've got great lawyers.

I think he does. Like the guy is in front of a three-story house. yeah no technically four if you count the ground level uh that's crazy i don't even know what kind of steel i had to go into building that house on the coast but i think he's probably's got the resources to fight fight his case right i feel like he's got the resources to do so just you know it's what seems that way uh let's see i got a couple oh yeah so this guy gradie judd said that this florida man should have hit his cocaine before calling the deputies. A Florida man and a teenager were arrested in frost proof, which is the actual name of a town,

and I could not love it anymore. Polk County Sheriff said that a group of juveniles had been aggravating and harassing, 54-year-old Everett Brown, and he said that a 14-year-old kicked in Brown's door and hitting with a red broom handle and burglar and battery felonies. But then while the deputies were processing the scene, Brown had left his cocaine all out on the table and counter. And he said, well, he forgot to hide his cocaine before he called for us to come and investigate the crime. So then he also went to jail for possession of cocaine and paraphernalia. The other kids went to jail for burglary and battery.

The P15, it stands for 15 pews. And with Keltec, it's a great, a great 9mm. It's the lightest, thinnest, double-stack 9mm that is on the market. And with it, you're able to, I mean, it's great. great stopping power, but you're able to have ultra concealability with us. And that's one of the things I really appreciate as a lady. You know, I have great concealability. It comes with two standard capacity magazines. One's a 15 round with minimal pinky extension. The other is a double stack mag that holds 12 rounds. Trity band fiber object front site, fully adjustable fiber optic, two dot rear,

strike or fire, lifetime warranty. And it's the lightest than as double stack nine millimeter that exists on the market. Metal and polymer version. It's compact, ideal for conceal carry self-defense. It's from the inventors of the microcompact pistol category. So see it for yourself. It's Keltex P-15, innovation performance in Keltec. Learn more at Keltecweapons.com.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. You can listen coast to coast. You can watch the stream on Channel 347, Direct TV. Find us on X. Find us on Rumble. Find us on Facebook. You guys know, too, one of the biggest issues that I push for,

is second amendment issues. Second Amendment issues. And, of course, a lot of stuff has been wrapping up in two A issues, 4A, 5A issues as well. And one of the cases that we have followed quite extensively has been that of Dexter Taylor.

And I've written about this a lot. The Dexter Taylor case in New York, and if you're unfamiliar with him, you know, he's a hobbyist. He has no record. He's just kind of a brainiac, engineer dude. That's kind of how he is. And he always,

he as a hobby had engaged in the completely legal practice of building his own firearms. And he never even fired, by the way. The first time they were fired is after his home was raided in the ATF and FBI and everybody seized everything. But it was completely legal and the New York starts passing all these gum laws and then they make felons out of innocent people. in a very, very unjust trial. Dexter Taylor, aka Carbon Mike, was sent to prison. That is where he is now, and that is from where he joins us on the phone. Dexter Taylor, aka Carbon Mike, joins us from prison on the phone, and he is still fighting the good fight.

My friend, how are you? How are you doing? I'm very good, my sister. How are you doing? Well, I would be a heck of a lot better if you got a pardon from the president-elect and maybe that's something that could happen if they get familiar with your case. But you've been fighting the good fight. And tell me, I mean, I know you've got to go through the appeals process. Where does all that stand right now? Well, our process is kind of at a standstill until we raise some more money to pay my legal team to actually draft the appeal, file it, and get us on the docket. So that's where we are now. The situation was complicated

by the fact that, as you know, because I am a quote, unquote, violent felon because I phones and kept firearms inside my own house, right? I couldn't get bail after the verdict. So after the verdict, I went right to Rutgers Island. And I stayed there until sentencing, and then sometime after that, I was moving to the state system. When I moved from life into the state system, I was a process of a little, transit and I've been to the increase in a lot of you can't call your people

know where you are so a lot of the stuff I was doing like is doing calls with people like people like people fly, Reverend Tim and so on I couldn't do any of that stuff so our PR effort kind of fell off in the last month

or so we've just made a concerted effort to now kind of reignite that PR effort and you know get like out there and and hit the circuit so to speak and remind people of what's going on. Yeah. And we're talking with our friend Dexter Taylor, who is a, he's a two-a natural rights icon. He's in prison. He wouldn't take, he wouldn't cut a deal. He was, he's unfairly unjustly targeted because he was a hobbyist, built his own firearms,

which is a perfectly legal thing to do, except New York decided to change their law. And then they made felons out of completely innocent people with zero record at all whatsoever. And I know we're going to talk coming up about the Gibson go and all of that. But what would you have, what would you have to X people know right now? What do you need people to do? What would you have them know right now to help you? Question. I would have them know more or less what you said that not only do I have a clean criminal record or did I have a clean criminal record before I was rated. No one was I remember in goodstanding of my local gun range. I was a 30-slaw veteran, a year veteran of a software industry, a father, productive citizen, a good neighbor.

In my politics, I've been doing conservative politics online since about 2015. Nothing in my politics would mark me out as someone who, you know, the average Joe on the street might say, hmm, are you sure that guy should have weapons? Nothing. So I encourage people to kind of follow their skepticism. There's a lot of people who understand. I hear about this case and say there has to be something else, right? there have to be some reason why they went after this guy.

Go ahead and run down all those angles. And when you're done with that, what I'm hoping people will do is, you know, but contribute in whatever way they see fit. They can send prayers. They can send greetings. They can send moral support. And, of course, they can send money through my gifts and go to help, to help up our legal fund. But that's – and the other thing people can do, by the way,

and the thing I would have people do if they can is spread the work. New York Democrats have been able to get away with this kind of thing for years because they think no one cares, because they think they will not pay any political price for violating people's Second Amendment rights. And we aim to show differently. So, for example, Eric Gonzalez, the Brooklyn DA, said publicly he was going to make an example of me. I want to help him. I think I should help him. I think that we should have more people around the United States understanding this is how Democrats, quote, unquote, care about us.

This is how Democrats, quote, unquote, care about the city. This is how Democrats, quote, unquote, care about black people. Like, I want everyone to know what a great thing Eric Gonzalez did when he decided that he did not care what the Supreme Court said in 2022. So, yeah, sunlight, best disinfectant. there you go do you do you do you think would you i mean obviously and i hope that this gets up to president alexears uh a pardon could solve this couldn't it um well listen to i'll take a pardon um if it has no conditions on it right uh if there's no well you can't talk about it you can't sue new york any of that uh but but a pardon wouldn't solve it because what really has to happen is

the laws in new york have to change in other words these laws remember are unlawful unconstitutional. So this is not put me aside for a second. This is not just about me. This is one state in the union running wild. And I just want to also point out to people that I caught no federal heat on this case. Right. ATF. That is so wild. Yeah, because it's legal federally. Right. Well, that's right. So, you know, ATF drove the search warrant and was there to kind of check their work. But other than that, they disappeared. We haven't heard from them. Now, you know, if I've been doing anything really out. of order, ATF would have been all over me like Hunter-Botten on a Coke line. So, you know, this is entirely, this is entirely New York State being out of line. And so that's, yeah, that's all. A partner would help, but ultimately what has to happen is the law has to change,

because I don't want them doing this to other people. And also, you know, I'm interested in the firearms industry. You know, your husband, Chris, knows that I have a deep interest in weapon science. I prototyped one of the things, one of the systems he and I discussed, Osiris, the open-shot registration system on Kyle Serafins podcast. You know, people need to know that this is an American industry. This is an American tradition. And if people are saying, well, there's people out there shooting the place up,

Well, by all means, go run down the people who are shooting the place up. And while you're at it, you know, we can also have a discussion about the manifest failure of a decades-long liberal experiment to replace families, replace fathers with the state. And then standing back and wondering why we have so much violence in the streets, why we have so much violence in the schools? Well, it's a good question. It's a very good question. But the answer can't be going after a law-abiding citizen. and saying that he can't quietly, privately keep in their arms in his own home.

That can't be right. And so that's what we're fighting. And I love your point that you made on this talking with Dexter Taylor, aka Carbon Mike, who is unjustly incarcerated for a, I mean, really a brand new crime that New York decided to fabricate out of the ether. I like the point that you made, Dex, about, you know, you could get a pardon and that could, you know, that could get you back with your family. but that law would still exist in New York.

And you would have to leave New York if you wanted to continue your hobby at that point. That's correct. I mean, what's funny is I was planning to, you know, once I got all the information, I will subscribe to a service run by, I think it's run by Ryan Kulkner, ex-military guy.

He has a thing called Rocket FFL. So I signed up a Rocket FFL again before I was rated. I was studying how to, you know, what I'd need to file to get an FFL. And I was thinking about, you know, when my gun lab in the woods of New Hampshire, because I have some, you know, family connections to New Hampshire.

But, but, yes, it would be awfully nice if New York would get in line and and stop violating people's civil rights. And your case, too. That's the other thing.

I'm sorry. Go ahead. No, go on. Yeah, I was going to say, yeah, I was going to say, you know, a lot of the people, I just wanted to touch on this, that, you know, a lot of people, who claim to be

pro-civil rights, who claim to be pro-black, you know, it's like I hear a lot of this, you know, people all ever know to tell me about Harriet Tubman. People forget that Harriet Tubman was packing. Everybody wants to tell me about Martin Luther King. People forget that

the safe houses Martin Luther King stayed at were arsenals. People forget that the civil rights movement was armed to the teeth actually, because what they rejected was political violence and correct. so, but they weren't stupid. You know, the other thing I always say,

Dan, it's like, don't get in my face and tell me about how you've got to change all the rules. You've got to, you've got to indoctrinate my kid with all this nonsense in school murders, a lot of supremacists are everywhere. And in the other

breath, you say, well, you're willing to defy the law of the land to disarm me. That does not make sense. Something has to get somebody's lying, about something. So we've got to have that up. That's absolutely right.

Talking with our friend Dexter, Taylor, aka Carb and Mike, a hobbyist who built firearms in his home, perfectly legal thing, and the New York changed their law to make a felon out of them. And that's the other important part of this case is that what he's doing,

you heard Dexay, the feds didn't get on him. It was New York State because federally, it's allowed. And at some point, Dexter, do you think that that, I mean, that feels like that's got to get settled at a higher level.

level. And I know that this is going to go through the appeal process because it's protected. It's all right. I mean, it's it's kind of fact. It's protected federal activity. They're very clear about it. So you have the state law, which is in direct contribution with federal law, that's got to get resolved. That's right. That's got to get resolved. It's important to note that one, the good news, because I've been doing a little bit of legal research since I've been inside. The good news is that federal appeals courts now have started throwing out gun indictments left and right. I mean, they've been tossing them out, left and right, because they accept, and not just tossing them, but tossing them on broom grounds, right? So that's a very good thing. The liberal judges we happen

to have in New York State, in the state appeals court system, are still kind of on that thing of pretending they can't read. But we like our chances in the federal system for just that reason. if the Supreme Excuse me If the Second Amendment protects any right It is the right to keep And bear on

In your house I heard My mom played for me Some of the segment That CBS ran On my case And they included As I figured they would

You know One of the Someone I guess supposed to take The opposite side Some professor Somewhere who said Well the Second Amendment The right to keep it on

It's not an unlimited right And, you know, I thought about that. It's worth addressing, even though it's not very well fallout. We're not talking about an edge case here, right? In other words, if I've been brandishing a pistol at the mall, or if I've been, you know, walking down Broadway with a slung AR, or if I've been towing a howitzer through Central Park, then you might talk about, well, that's a bit excessive.

But this is my house. Okay. So all that, all that noise you'd hear. hear about a former liberal burden about the Second Amendment not being a suicide pacelist. I agree. Nobody was talking about suicide. We were all kind of minding our business until they decided to break my door down. So now we're going to have this legal fight. And I think the best thing we can do is escalate that legal fight into a political fight as well. It is time for these Democrats and local and state governments to start paying a political

price for stopping all over the constitutional right, the civil rights, because that's what they are of the people who they're supposed to be working for. Amen to that. They have, they have Dexter in there with rapists and murderers, and he is an innocent man, truly innocent man who did nothing but a federally protected hobby that New York only recently decided to take issue with. And they've taken him from his kids. They took him from his life, his home. They've taken him. They took him from his life, his home. they've got him locked up in there. And you want to talk about injustice? That's injustice.

And it's got to get changed. Dex, I want to make sure that you need anything. My friend, you please let us know. And we're going to try to do everything that we can here to keep the fire on this and to help meet these costs so that you can get this. You can fight this and get this overturned. And then we can get New York's laws overturned because nobody should have to go through this for a federally protected, constitutionally affirmed natural right. God bless you, my friend. You're going through the ringer for a lot of people who don't know it or appreciate it, but we sure do.

God bless you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. CNN is trying to make light out of something that's trash. They say Americans' debt is growing, but hey, guys, so are the incomes. No, they're not. I mean, depending on what sector you're looking at, especially if it's government jobs, they're doing great. But the average everyday person who's not a government worker, not so much.

U.S. household debt moved up for a record total of $1794 trillion as of, this was back in September. Balances grew across all major debt categories, credit cards, auto loans, the biggest gains. But they said that after tax income has grown, well, again, look at what sector. Delinquencies are still on the rise. So why are they trying to blow this up and act like this is a good thing? It's not. It is not. Good heavens. Builders have 108,000 unsold homes. Good luck trying to buy one because throwing down for a starter home, they say, is 45% more expensive than renting a far wider gap than the historical average of just about 15%. I mean, when I was, we were first starting out back in like 2000, 2001, it was, yeah, it was a lot easier. It was like a lot more affordable to buy a house. It was better than renting because of, it was.

equity and everything else now. You can't really say the same anymore. It's really hard for people. Really hard for people. Oh, this is crazy. A popular pet was served as a delicacy in New York. I don't know what this is. This is horrible. It's the special Ecuadorian delicacy. It's a guinea pig. And they said that they're very delicious. And you can go to this restaurant in New York. I'm not giving them free advertising. And it's called, it's like basically a guinea pig house. Yeah, and you eat guinea pig. Is it like a pig? It's a rat, so I don't know why it would be like a pig.

I mean, unless it oinks and, you know, it's got a corksure tail, uh-uh. But importing them into bulk is no, they said it's no cakewalk. They have to get them flown and frozen from a small farm in Ecuador. And they go, it's difficult because we use a lot. I don't even know what, want to know what that tastes like. Let's see, this. Mark, why, why? Mark Zuckerberg.

dropped a single with T-Pain. Yeah. It's basically the song, Get Low, and they redid it. And I am not even, I cannot believe he sings the lyrics that he sings. What? I'm not saying any of this.

Moving on. Don't Google it. Don't do it. Don't do that yourself. Don't do it. Don't do it. And then apparently, oh, I got time for one more.

Oh, the onion. bought Info Wars. They're losing their mind. They are losing their minds. Did you see this, for instance, the Snow White Chick? This Rachel Ziegler guy is the most annoying theater kid I've ever seen in my life. I don't like her. She's like, she's ran her mouth enough where I'm pretty sure I don't like her as a person, which is sad. I don't like being like that, but that's the truth of it. She went into the social media meltdown after the election and she posted all this stuff. She says, I'm speechless. Another four years of hatred. leaning us towards a world I don't want to live in.

She doesn't even have a kid. She's like, it'll be hard to raise my daughter in. Okay. A world that'll force her to have a baby she doesn't want. Are you like, what is your damage? What is wrong with you?

They're just going to, what are you saying the government's going to rape her and make her have a baby? Is that what you're saying? Leaning us towards a world that's fearful. She is not a mother and she just is speaking of a hypothetical daughter that she doesn't have. And then she just kept going on and on. and then she went on and said that she

she wants basically bad stuff to happen to people. She hopes Trump supporters never know peace is what she said. And her Twitter and her Instagram rant. News flash to Rachel Ziegler. I've noticed that there are not four media outlets that can correctly spell your name in any given time. No one can tell you, anybody else, what the hell you've ever been in? So maybe you should have more of a career before you start running your mouth and ruining what you've built now. You don't, you're not

Meryl Streep. You don't have a Meryl Street Foundation to run your mouth on. You don't have a Clint Eastwood body of work to run your mouth on. You haven't proven your capabilities enough that people can say, oh, well, she's nuts about politics, but at least she's a good actress. Because I don't even think that. She's got a film coming out with Disney. Snow White, which she has been a nightmare for. They've already had to go back. Remember all the stuff that she said previously where she was blasting Prince Charming? And she went on this feminist rant and people were like scratching, even moderates were

scratching their heads like, why is she doing this? Is she wanting this movie to fail? And then she says, I hope they never know peace. She says, may Trump supporters and Trump himself never know peace is what she said on Instagram. Maybe she feels like that in her life. I kind of get the sense that she feels like her career is stalling out, and she's got to do this political stuff to claw up more attention. And at the same time, it's one bird or two birds, one stone. She can claw for more attention by saying stupid political stuff while also taking out her rage against people because she's mad that her career is stalling.

Because I don't know what the hell she's been in, do you? She was in that West Side Story remake and she was the worst part of it. And then what this? I don't know what else she's been in. There are other actresses her age that are doing laps around her in terms of work and accolades. And all she's doing is bitching on Instagram and saying this kind of stuff. I mean, maybe you should focus on your movie. You know, because as it is right now, they already had to take it back because that's the Snow White film that got into a lot of trouble with the little people, the dwarves, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, because the king little person got.

I played Tyrion Lannister. What's his name? He's the king of all little people, apparently. Which made all the other little people actors very upset because he acted like he was the valedictorian of all of them and the union president of all of them. And he went out and said, oh, my gosh, can you believe that they have, you know, like dwarves in a movie? I mean, it was called Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, but whatever.

I mean, I guess it should have been, you know, Snow White and the, you know, seven ambiguously gendered hobos. I don't know. Like, what if... So this movie has just, like, run into controversy after controversy after controversy after controversy. It is really annoying. At least what's her face? Jenna Ortega doesn't go this hard.

Jenna Ortega at least knows when to, like to shut up to not burn her audience. This chick doesn't. I think she wants to be Jenna Ortega. I don't know. I just can't stand this stuff. Somebody in her management needs to tell her it's not a wise career move to do things. like this. They fired Gina Carano for less. Gina Carano said something entirely accurate on Instagram about fascism. And Disney lost their mind.

All the woke scolds lost their mind. And they fired her. This chick is literally wishing harm on Trump supporters. And it's crickets. Crickets. Now, that's pretty unbelievable. So you tell me who's the bigot. Good grief. I don't know. These people are damaged. They're just damaged. I don't know. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast.
