Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. So a man who is accused of throwing feces at a Florida synagogue is appearing in court

in Broward County. Jeffrey Fleming, 39, faces charges of stalking, hate crimes, and literally throwing human waste at a synagogue. His attorney's says his client's confused and he wants a mental health examination. Oh, and they recorded the feces

stuff on video. Oh my gosh. That's so gross. And yeah, he's, I don't know. That's one of the most unsanitary ways to protest that I can imagine. Anyway, he apparently was harassing people as they came out of the synagogue and all kinds of stuff and trying to get in their faces. So he seems like a dangerous, hateful person. But he appeared in court this morning. A Florida man landed a helicopter on birds, a bird nesting site in Igmont Key. Florida Fish and Wildlife are not happy, according to WFLA. This is a Bradenton man. So he had, he landed his helicopter apparently right on a nesting site. And the witnesses told officials the female got out, took a few photos, hop back in and they took off. They wanted to apparently

take pictures of the birds, so they landed on their nest. And apparently all these birds had to flee the nest because there's a chopper that landed on it. That doesn't seem like the smartest way to go about that. Like you couldn't have approached it from the water. You know, you had to take a chopper to

this is dumb. Why do people do dumb stuff? Like, stop. Ooh. This man-eating monster crocodiles have been found in Florida. So they got crocodiles and alligators in Florida, by the way. You know this, right? Now they said the presence of Nile crocodiles have been confirmed in the state now. University of Florida, like if it wasn't

already terrifying, University of Florida has a news release. They said, quote, man eaters that can grow to 18 feet long and weigh as much as a small car have been found in Florida. They've conducted DNA analysis of crocodiles going back to the year 2000 and made their determination. And made their determination. They think there's a ton out there. They found juveniles in South Florida in the Everglades. They even found a juvenile relaxing on a house porch in Miami. This are the Nile Crocodiles. And wow, that's horrible. They said that they eat everything. Zebras or Zebra, if you're British, small hippos, two humans in sub-Saharan Africa. And they said that Nile crocodiles specifically were responsible for at least 480 tax on people, 123 fatalities in a four-year span in Africa alone.

that's crazy. Can you imagine them getting that big in Florida? Now, think of like the attacks just in four years in Africa, and then that's kind of terrifying, isn't it? They think it's the pet trade. They think it's the illegal pet trade. That's like the most likely. I think we're scared. We're, you know, on the food chain, we're maybe knocked down a link or two.

Yeah. I mean, you know, we live by a lake called Grapevine Lake. And there's, I don't, I get weird. with lakes that gators can be in. Like if a gator can't be in there, I'm okay with your lake. But if a gator could potentially be in the lake, I'm not okay with it. You know what I mean? I don't know what's coming up there.

Gator could be coming up from the water and eat me. I don't know. It's creepy. Like I cannot get in this lake because I'm terrified of the gators. And there's literally somebody went jogging. They took video of a gator on the jogging path. And it looked like an eight foot long gaiters. Like an eight foot long gator on the trail where they were jogging.

And they stopped and they recorded the footage. They put it up on Facebook on like the town Facebook. That's a little terrifying. It was a big gator. I'm like, how does it? What in the world? Just chilling, chilling there by the jogging path, you know, going to get a snack? Just saying.

And that's a... Run away in a zigzag pattern. Yeah, zigzag, zigzag. That should be like your slogan if you're in Florida. Zigzag. I'm a flight before bumping in with Caitlin. It seemed like she turned to you a little bit after the, after the fever. I was there.

No, Caitlin Clark questions. Did she say anything to you? I don't know what she said. What did you say to her? I didn't say anything. That's enough. I am like fascinated by this. I don't follow W&B like most women. You know, because it's all men's fault that nobody watches women's basketball. But not only people are, I think, watching it. And Caitlin Clark, I think, is getting a lot of hate for, I don't know why. I don't know why she's getting a lot of hate. Some people say it's because she's white and pretty. What does that have to do anything? There are other pretty women on that court. So is it just because she's white? Like, I don't get it. I don't understand what all this is. Welcome back to the program. Dana last year with you. She plays for Andy Anand. She had a great college career. She's like, you know, fabulous player.

Steve said that she, you know, deserves all the accolades that she gets because he followed college ball. And he's like, she deserved all the accolades she got because she's a fantastic player. And it's now I, now she's with Indiana. And she was playing, she had a, she's playing Angel Reese, who she also was a rival with in college. And Clark beat Reese. It was Indiana versus Chicago. Sky, it was like 71 to 70. And Reese didn't

she wouldn't, she didn't Reese get fine like $1,000 because she skipped the presser, the postgame presser. So she, I don't dislike Angel Reese, but I think if part of your personality and one of the reasons why people know you is because, you know, you're making your name off of being a rival, then you've got

to answer questions about it. So what happened apparently is in this game that we just played the video for. This was, Caitlin Clark was playing. And again, she's with Indiana. She was playing and

you can see who is that? Is that Chenity Carter? Is that the player who ran in, who hit her? Chicago Sky. So this is when she was playing Chicago. Chennedy Carter slammed she had slammed her before

on social media. She checked her and you can see Juan was playing that for you earlier on Saturday. she called her a B and then hit her and knocked her to the floor and then afterward didn't want to answer any questions about it. But she called her a B as she body checked her. Now, I get that there's like, you know, you got all kinds.

In sports, you got, you know, you get into the psychology of it and you get into other players' heads. I get all of that. Am I? Is she being like overly targeted? Do you think? Kane, do you think she's being overly targeted? It appears that way? I haven't seen anyone receive so much hate by every team than her up to this point.

So, I mean, I guess it matters how you measure it, but I haven't seen anything like this before. Steve, what do you think? Is it just like, is it weird to think that she's like getting, is she getting targeted more or is the media coverage of it making it seem like she's getting targeted more? She's definitely getting targeted more. I think they're the ones that are mad are, because they always point. the fact that she's a rookie and a lot of the veterans that have been there for a while. Now seeing the WMBA skyrocket and popularity just because of her. And I think that's just making her a target.

I think the race thing does come into it though, because I don't know. It's just, man. Yeah, it's, um, it's, so it's jealousy. Yeah, I'd say it's more jealousy than it is race. It's just the way, I mean, look, at this level, you have to imagine that these women are highly competitive people, just in general. So I think that jealousy is going to ramp up their competitiveness and push them over the line every now and again. And we saw that over the weekend.

That's just, what is that, what do they think that that is telegraphing to girls? You spend all this time trying to get respect for your league and then you do bitch stuff. The only bees out there I see are the bees that are being dramatic about Caitlin Clark. That's all I see. They try so long to get respect for women's basketball, and then they treat it like a junior high school girl's locker room. Junior high school girl antics on the court. Instead of playing the game, they got to be drama because they're jealous. Instead of letting their skills speak for themselves, they got to be drama because they're jealous.

Now, what little girl wants to grow up and playing a league where you're targeted like that? How do you sit here and profess and demand that everyone take women's sports series? when you can't even take it seriously enough to not act like a junior high queen on the court. It's stupid. That's so dumb. It just, it just looks like a soap opera. It's just, you know, I mean, it makes it look dumb. Someone's saying that fever needed to get an enforcer to protect her.

That's what Drayman Green said. Really? It would be fun to see that sort of stuff. I mean, if this is what's already happening to the point where they're finding players, I think people would like to see that. Is it going to get worse or better? I mean, can't the coaches be like knock that off? As more attention goes on to the WNBA, I don't know.

Could go either way. I mean, I know that men get dramatic. Okay, Steve, answer me this. Can you can too. Is it, I know the men can be just as dramatic. Is it because there's new attention on WNBA that it makes it seem like it's more dramatic than the men, or is it just these women are way more dramatic than the dudes are? I mean, I've seen, I mean, if there was like a fight or something in the WMBA, we'd all know about it, right?

I don't think this is, it's had to a point where like, I don't know, it's just getting out of control. Wow. For Steve to say that. Like, people don't know. Steve is like happy, go lucky, you know, joyful Steve. And for him to be like, wow, that's pretty, that's kind of significant. To your point, I just dropped something in Slack from Charles Barkley over the weekend where he actually commented on exactly what you're asking about. Yeah, he says they're petty.

He's right. So if you want us to play that. Yeah, play that. He's right. Well, can't we? He's on TV, so hopefully he didn't pass. Hey, LeBron, you're 100% right on these girls hating on Caitlin Clark. Y'all petty, girls.

I expect men to be petty because we're the most insecure group in the world. Oh, you are. Y'all should be thinking that girl for getting y'all asked private charters. All the money and visibility she brings into the NBA. Don't be petty. Like dudes, listen, what she's accomplished, get her flowers. Stop being petty, all you women out there. She got your ass charters.

She bringing all y'all this money to the table. But y'all being petty like dudes. LeBron, you are 100% right. Y'all girls, stop being petty. He's right, though. I love it. He's, I mean, he's right. And why are there chicks that are getting all mad at him for saying that?

I mean, that's, you know, here's the thing. If you're going to sit here and do this stuff on the court, you sit your backside down and you take questions from the press about it. You don't get to go, I'm not taking any Caitlin Carter. Shut up, you are too. You're going to sit here and talk trash on the court, and you're going to play this game on the court, but then you're going to try to hide it when you get up there and you talk to the press?

No, that is lame as I'll get out. No, no, no, no, no. And you can't sit here and make your whole persona about being the rival against Caitlin Clark. And then, oh, I'm not going to go and take questions from the press. No, we're not doing that either, Angel. We're not doing that either. Come on. Come on. I just, I don't know, if you're too weak to talk trash and answer questions after, then maybe you shouldn't be talking trash. You know, that's just a thought. Good heavens. Now, Charles Berkeley's right. He is right. But this is not like the glamorous ladies of wrestling.

Okay. This ain't glow. It's WNBA. If you want respect for your sport, then be a respectful player. play the game and make it to where other women want to aspire to play as well. But how sad is it that these women are so jealous of this chick that the drama, not their skills, or why other people are given it a second glance? Because they are so jealous. Is that not ladies? That is women to a tee. Very rarely do you find women.

And I love the women that are like it when I find them. I got to tell you, in my professional experience, I have, I've only had like a couple problems of dudes. And really, it was only one dude. I'm Steve Bannon. But I only had one problem with one guy. I had all of my problems were women. All of them were women.

Women are catty. They are petty. They're backstabbers. They're disingenuous. They're just they will turn on you in a heartbeat. not to say that men won't, but I always laugh when I hear all these other women trying to extol the virtues of a sisterhood.

That's all a lie. There's no such thing. It's fake as I'll get out. The most problem that I had were women in the workplace. All the drama that I saw, everywhere I have ever been professionally, has been from women to the point where I used to like just either stay in my office

or I would come in, do my show, and then leave because I could not handle the drama that all these women had with each other. I could, and I did not want to get, drawn into it. I cannot stand it. But it's, that's been my experience. It's not going to be any different with the WNBA, but if you're trying to make it to where you have this world-class sport, then don't do that petty basic B stuff in your sport. Don't do it. And Kane knows about the female stuff because you were there and you saw some of it. And we were both like, okay, we're done,

we're out. So I, I don't know. I just like, get in there and just do your job. And, but make it a sport that women want to aspire to. Good heavens. People who help bring you free radio and we're grateful that they do. It's our friends over at Caltech. American Made. This is a great company that has a great all-American backstory. So George Kellgren, he immigrated over here from Sweden and landed in Florida, loved Florida and decided to create a company that makes awesome firearms. And they're very, very innovative as well. And I have many of them. And you've seen some of them. And you've seen some of them in the John Wick movies, whether it's their KSG, their shotgun, or the one that they have right now, it's a great 9mm carbine. It's the Gen 3 version of the sub 2K. It's their newest. It's

been shipping, light foldable, effective. The whole thing folds in half. And you don't have to detach your favorite optics any longer in order to do so. And it's just some of the really cool stuff that George Kellgren and his team come up with. I mean, this is a company that's been added to Florida's tax base. They employ 300 people, a lot of military veterans as well. And they craft these very distinctive firearms and they are all about quality. They're all about innovation. And the stuff that they make is just like mad scientist level. Cool. Like the Gen 3, like I said, the whole thing folds in half. You don't have to detach your optics to do it. Lightened action for easy racking. Amidextrous bolt hold open as well. Improved trigger mechanics.

You've got a lightened five pound pool. Made America by a family-owned values company. Family-owned company, family-owned values. And it's just a great American story, the story of Kaltek. You can see everything that they have to offer. One of my favorite companies out there at K-TECWeapons.com, K-E-L-T-E-C Weapons.com. Tell them that Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So some artists are canceling shows, and the reason being is because the economy sucks. The economy is so bad that people can't even afford to go see live music at all. They have no discretionary income. Thanks, Joe Biden. But go, go.

ahead and sit here and tell me how mean tweets are so much worse. Yeah, apparently NBC has this piece where they're saying consumers are having to make tough choices about how to spend their money. That's right. You know why? Because everybody's pulling purse strings. Everybody. Yeah, except for the government. That can go absolutely pound sand. I'm telling you, maybe it is time for another revolution if they don't stop spending their money. Parents fear that trans ice hockey players pose a danger to girls. Yeah, they are because boys are using and their stupid parents who I think have Munchausen's by proxy and they're looking to get attention by presenting their children as having like, you know, something incorrect wrong with them. They are entering girls leagues and they're playing against females as young as 14. Boys are males, like 18 year olds even. You know how like that's a very

physical sport? There are going to be girls who get injured. But hey, doesn't care. Nobody cares. Society doesn't care. Who cares how many girls you give concussions to or knock in the face or knock on the ground? Honestly, I think people have a fetish for seeing women being. violated if you completely wholeheartedly support men entering women's sports like this, particularly very, very physical athletic disciplines. I think that some of people have a fetish and they like, it can't beat your wife because it's illegal. So we're going to go, we'll play in a sport and beat this chick like in UFC or something like, prove me wrong. You absolute sickos, prove me wrong. Let's see. This China lands on the moon's bar side in a historic sample retrieval mission.

If there's one moon landing, I'm going to believe it's fake. It's this one. know why? Because it's China, right? And then you also have Greek, they're trying to say that the ancient Greek fighting force was made up of entirely gay couples, which no one actually believes. They keep going this thing. I mean, there's like stuff with Sparta and Athens, et cetera, et cetera. It's June, so everything's rainbow. They're going to be pushing the stuff six ways to Sunday. Did you see what? Who was it? They came up. Was it Department of Transportation that had the seatbelt thing? We're going to talk about, yeah, because they showed seatbelts with different rainbows, but only one of the seatbelts worked.

You know that, right? Like, you can't have two of the, yeah, that was only one of the seatbelts actually worked, and that's the thing it is, apparently. What is it? It's Pride Month. I thought Pride was. It was the Dutch Airlines. Do they not know how seatbelts work? The Royal Dutch Airlines. Do they not know how seatbelts work?

We're going to get into all of this, because they had the Navy SEALs that also, apparently, yeah, they also apparently had a tweet up. I was actually going to pull it up real quick, but, uh, anyway, we're going to get into that. Additionally, apparently Biden is going to be on the ballot in Ohio. Well, of course, they're also trying to get around all of this stuff by hurrying up and nominating and confirming Biden Harris earlier anyway. But they're saying that the Republican-dominated legislature concluded a rare special session in the Ohio Senate on Friday. It's a temporary fix,

but they're trying to get it to where he can be on the ballot. They messed it up when they decided to hold their convention and then their state event, like way, way late. with us. We got more in store. Okay, can we switch gears and talk about who do you have in this big fight this month? You got the Gaza, the pro-Hamas protesters and the gay folks in Philly. Who do you got? Who do you have? In one corner. Did you guys see this headline? New York Post. Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters bring the Philly gay pride to a halt. I mean, cane. This is what folding chairs and popcorn was made for. I just want to see people go at it. They had all of these, they had a gay pride parade in

Philly. And then you had the Hamas people and they had this huge showdown, literally in the street. And then you had the pro-Hamas people screaming PPP, KKK, if they're all the same, which didn't even rhyme, losers. And then they had the Philly parade, the Pride parade. And then they had the Philly parade. And then they then some people were saying that people are dying at Gaza, there's no time for pride and all this other stuff. Man, some of these people in the parade need to, I just watched a guy walk past wearing booty shorts and heels and healed boots. And his belly hung so far over. It stretched over his thigh to the point that that's where his shorts ended. So probably from the front, he just looked naked.

That's so bad. He's proud. Yeah. So they got into a big brawl. They got to a fight because the Hamas people didn't want the gay people. marching. And there, apparently, some of the pro-Hamas people in New York had signs that read killed the hostages now when they crashed their pride parade. So who wins? If it's pride, if it's the gay parade versus Hamas, who wins? Where are the queers for the non-the fictional,

non-existing place called Palestine? Where are the queers for Palestine at? Because, you know, you'd get murked there in a heartbeat. I'm just curious. Where are they at in all this? Hanging from cranes. Yeah, they're hanging from cranes. You know, that's what, that's how Hamas decorates for Pride Month. They take the Pride marchers and they hang them from cranes. You know, it's decoration. Goodness. So who wins in that? You know how difficult this is for the left? Think about it. You spend most of your time trying to compartmentalize and being everything to different identity groups instead of just having a set of principles that, that every group can subscribe to.

You try to make certain accommodations because you want to lock in votes. But you can't make accommodations to this group because then it makes this group upset. Like the Dear Bornestans, you can't get, you know, Dear Bornestine, you can't promise them stuff and then turn around and promise the Pride Marcher stuff

because they don't like each other. So what happens? Who wins in this? You see the mess that identity politics makes of everything. This is where Democrats are right now. This is why he just hides away. He don't even know what to do. But for real, like, who do you have?

Like, if you had to put them all in an octagon, who wins? Well, one is basically surrounding sexual identity. And the other one is anti-Zionist, I guess. So which is more important? Is it a, the oppression of a people just because of... I mean, the pro-Hamas people, they've got violence down on lock. That's true. But then the Trans-Tifa, they got violence down on lock, too.

But that's a small portion. That's like a segment of the... alphabet marchers. And a lot of the alphabet marchers don't like Transitifa. So I don't know who wins. Like who's got people that are crazier and violent? I don't know. This is hard.

This is like algebra. I like the self-cleaning of an aspect of this, though. Yeah, I really like how it takes care of itself, right? Like you could just throw, it's like PCU, just get all the groups arguing. Why can't we just have all the groups on the, why aren't Republicans doing this? Just like seating the left and getting all these groups. Look, Joe Biden's promising all the alphabet people, all these things did. stand where you all look alphabet people joe biden's promising dear bornistan's all these things what

are you going to do about it exactly what the left does that's what the left does in the right why are we not doing that to them it's so much easier to troll them why are we not doing that to them we need like a department of ungentlemanedly ungentlemanly political warfare that's what we need we would need media cooperation which is exactly what they have we don't have that do we though do we I mean, it's certainly not. It certainly has helped them. Well, yeah, they've had decades of it, I think. But do we really need the media with us?

Maybe. I don't know. Who watches the media? I don't watch any TV. You know what I started watching? I started watching this hysterical. I can't remember his name. He's a British guy.

He over-enunciates absolutely everything. But he's a great historian. And so I was, I've been watching this thing about the real history. the Renaissance and goes back to the Flemish Masters, which they called Flemish Primitives, which he said was Vasare's, you know, pro-Florantine bias coming through this apparently art history book of all art history books that is considered the Bible on art at that time and also like the standard of measure for art books to come. And Vasare just like rode out all of these other, all of these other people because they didn't fit this mold. Like, oh my gosh,

You're not Florentine. You're not doing this, et cetera. But there was one aspect that was hysterical where they were getting into how so many babies that were painted. Like the baby Jesus. Like hardly anybody got him right. Buticelli did really well. But anyway, it was fascinating. My whole point of bringing this stuff up is I don't even watch television anymore except real niche stuff like that.

When's the last time you had the TV on? There was at one point, you know, like background, right? Now, sometimes I'll have C-SPAN or news on in the background because it's my job and, you know, I have it on during the day. But if breaking news happens, remember when breaking news did happen previously, there was no other format but television that could really bring you that second by second capture, right? That second by second you could see everything unfolding. You were right there in the thick of it. that I think in the past maybe definitely five years but maybe 10 years that's been entirely replaced and now if something happens you immediately go look and see okay what's this is trending before

they can even get video to production at news stations and then you all already see the raw video on social media and you're already getting it the only difference between the stuff that you would see on TV and the stuff that's on social media is the stuff that's on social media is just chaos and it's just it's unedited. It's not even in chronological order all the time. And you get tons of bias. And the media, you get the bias still. But at least I will say that, you know, maybe they'll take out some of the more sensitive aspects of whatever footage is shown and they'll put it in chronological order. And that's really it. That's the only benefit. I don't really consider that a big sell as to value that over just getting what you get online. But I think it's

been replaced. So it comes back to my original point. What? I don't even think they would help. I don't think nobody, anybody pays attention to media anymore. They've lost even that ability, that monopoly on bringing you the immediate up-to-date information. Everyone gets it online now. No one watches the, you know, watches TV for the breaking video or any of that stuff, right? I mean, hell, if you're going to watch a cop chase, you're going to watch the live video online. You're not going to watch the live video on television. So I just don't think that that's and I had I had to destroy media bias I'm going to get into it's really egregious coming up speaking of media so I'm going to share that one with you that's another reason why

people I just don't think that they keep it they they refer to it anymore thanks for tuning into today's edition of Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast if you haven't already made sure to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts Spotify or wherever you get your podcast.
