Dana Lashes Absurd Truth Podcast, sponsored by Keltec. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Bustle fuels got to get phased down In through the nose Out through the mouth Fossil fuels got to get phased down We need to make sure that our negotiators understand

That a transition to clean energy Also prevents local toxic help Hi, gee. Hello there, fellow kids. How do? That's what this felt like. Oh, man. So this was Doctors at the COP 30

climate summit. They're dancing to a hip-hop song demanding fossil fuel phase out. Is that now, wait a minute, didn't they clear a whole road in the jungle for that climate summit? They sure did. Huh. And everybody flew there and their jets. Yeah, they, they felled a huge section for a new four-lane highway and they cut through tens of thousands of acres of protected rainfall. forest to have their little climate summit out there. They cut through, imagine dense forest state, just imagine like, you know, a dense tree line. You're in the Amazon for crying out loud, the jungle. They cut through to make a new four lane highway. And I can't even believe, I mean, tens of thousands of acres of protected rainforest.

And as K-noted, 99% of the people flew there. Half of them were on, well, almost half of them. Everybody who was famous was on a private jet. Now, the crazy thing is that there are some communities that live in more isolated parts of that protected rainforest that they mowed through tens of thousands of acres that aren't even connected to that road that could be. They didn't even connect the neighborhoods. They went and they were talking to people who lived there. And for instance, Claudio Veracete, he lives maybe, I think what,

a hundred some odd miles from the road where they built the road. And he harvests assaye berries. He said everything was destroyed. They cut our harvest down and we don't have that income this year to support our family. He said there's no compensation from any government and he said that there's going to be more deforestation in the future. All of these people that live in these communities, they said that they didn't even, we're not even connected to this road. It was just for these posers. Climate is a scam.

So I got to set this video up for you because this is interesting. So a former FBI employee says he was wrongfully terminated because he had displayed a pride flag. He's suing the agency in the U.S. Department of Justice, David Maltinsky. He said he worked as an intelligence specialist in 2000 since 2009 and he displayed the flag and for several years and he says that

he was unjustly fired because he had displayed his pride flag is what he had said he talked with CBS News and he said he was a 16 year FBI employee who was weeks away from being elevated to the position of agent when he was fired. Listen to those. Were you surprised when you got the word he were to leave? I wasn't surprised. I was definitely disappointed. I knew not truly firsthand, but I knew I was on a list.

There was fear after the administration took in, came in that they were going to start looking at all of our personnel files where some of us did self-hyl. identify our sexual orientation. Some people did identify as trans. So there was fear early on that Doge was going to collect this and they were going to curate a list and get rid of the undesirables. You say it pretty casually, but it's pretty powerful to hear that phrase. You say you were likely on a list. That's quite something. It's concerning. Wow. So, yeah. First off, It sounds like he just sucked at his job.

How are you there for 16 years trying to become an agent and you're never promoted to being an agent after serving for 16 years? That's why he went to the FBI. He wanted to be an FBI agent and he was there for 16 years and they never made him an FBI agent. I wonder why. That's number one. Number two, I don't care if he had it at his desk. It's the FBI. If you're going to work in law enforcement, get over yourself.

No one cares. No one cares what you think. No one cares what your pet issues are. If you really want to serve the public, then serve the public. But if you want to serve the public with a caveat of being able to serve yourself, then you're not serving the public. This guy wanted to be able to, I guess, have his cake and eat it too. There are certain jobs that you take where you have to be professional, right? You can't do stuff like this. Like the lady who is a cop, And she got in trouble because she played a stripper in a rap video and she got fired. There's certain requirements, certain behaviors that you are supposed to have in your private life if you are going to take on a certain job so that you don't compromise the integrity or the appearance of propriety of that agent, of the agency. And that's what this is about. I'm if I see any I don't want to see any kind of political leanings of law enforcement officers if I I I don't want to see any of that because immediately you're prioritizing politics over your job

just how I look at it and I really think it's the way it should be I don't want to see any kind of anything except the U.S. flag and the state flag on your desk that's it I don't want to see nothing if you cannot get over the selfish desire to constantly, quote, unquote, express yourself, then maybe that line of work isn't for you. And let's be real, this is not about expressing oneself. This is about establishing cultural dominance in the workspace. That's really what this is about. People say express themselves, but that's not what it is.

you're not prevented from expressing yourself at home. You're not prevented. But if you're going to work a job where you're wearing a badge and you're representing a government agency, then yes, all of your little bumper stickers that you want to put on your desk and all this other stuff, that's not, that's not professional. He's acting like this is a high school locker and not an FBI office. So, yeah, the guy deserved to be fired. Hell out. I had fired him a long time ago. he sounds insubordinate and now he's going to sue the agency and guess who's going to have to

foot the bill for this suit taxpayers because this whiny little twink wasn't able to put up a flag on his desk then don't take the job bottom line and as cane noted what is the refrain that we hear from the left all the time yeah separation of church and state oh yeah there it is there it is yeah that's true separate sex and state that's true that's right yeah he he's wasn't fired for being gay i mean literally they have i mean cash pettel did events with gay republicans it has nothing to do with being gay that's this guy is trying to hide behind that because he's it sounds like he was just a bad hire and completely incompetent and kind of a pansy he was bad at his job you're there for 16 years trying to make agent and you're never promoted

there's a reason, dude. It's probably because I'm gay. No, it's probably because you're bad at your job. I just don't know. I want to be an FBI agent, but I just can't figure out why they fire me for being insubordinate.

I don't want a guy like this to be an FBI agent. So good riddance. Learn to code. Good riddons. So he's out. But this lawsuit's going to go on. That's what's annoying.

That's what is so infuriating. And this is all, about, you know, the DEI, all of that. This one guy, what is it, the law firm, excuse me, that's representing this guy. He goes, it's obvious he's being targeted for political reasons. What? No one knew who this guy was. They're not tart. If you are displaying it prominently on your desk and it's against, I don't care if your previous supervisor said it, was okay. When you have a new boss, you have new rules. That's it. Also, he was in Los Angeles. Cash Patel is in D.C. Cash Patel doesn't work out of L.A. He's, his, he infers the intimation here is

that Cash Patel personally has a problem with him. This guy is in L.A. How the hell would Cash Patel even know? You see what I'm saying? It is all so incredibly suss. He goes, I believe I was fired not because of who I am, but what I am. No, well, you are incompetent, so yeah. That's probably why. He's never going to get hired by another law enforcement agency again after this. I mean, DEI aside, nobody wants a guy like that wearing a badge. Nobody. But I had the flag on my desk. Yeah, you didn't think that was a problem? I don't care if you're previous, you know, fairy godmother supervisor didn't have an issue with it. Someone in that L.A. office had new rules.

And so now, and then he's trying to make it. See, that's what is even more suspicious to me that they're trying, it's like a way to try to take down Cash Patel. They're, they're acting like this guy is being specifically tar. I mean, that's what they're saying. They're saying that Cash Patel unjustly fired him. again this guy works out of LA I'm just curious inappropriate display of political signage well yeah

I actually I had people in our family who worked in the police force you cannot have that stuff on your desk I don't know why FBI would be any different I had an uncle who was a deputy for like 30 years you could never have anything like this on your desk he would not he didn't even display like I actually you know what I never even knew who

I just now realize this. I never knew who he voted for. I just assumed, you know, you know, we're old deputy. Never put anything like that on his desk. Never had anything like that in his car. He was totally professed because he was a real one. That's how it should be.

I don't know any, I don't know anybody in law enforcement where they're allowed to put all this stuff on their desk and make these, you know, basically make a political, if you, you're supposed to be there serving everyone. When you make declarations like this with items, you are immediately making a statement of bias as a law enforcement agent that's that's not allowed so don't work in that field if you cannot get over yourself then if you're too look what is the saying if you're too good to serve

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right. So, we have, what do we got here? An English school banned K-pop demon hunters over songs their songs over concerns that the kids might fight demons or something? What am I missing here? By the way, do people not realize that in anime, it really is good versus evil? They don't tolerate the kind of stuff that America tolerates in our cartoons and that. They don't tolerate that

kind of stuff. I mean, it is hyper-conservative. I don't think people realize this. So when they say like demon hunters, that's literally what they're doing. And I don't know why people are like freaking out over it. I think, oh my gosh, Kane, I just realized, Jasmine Crockett has the hair of the purple one. I'm not kidding. It's like the same thing. Follows this girl group, the cartoon, a girl group that they're like a pop group, an idol group over there. And then they also exterminate demons. What's bad about that? Yeah, what's wrong is that? Yeah, I don't see. It seems like we need more of it. I don't know. An NYPD detective was pulled from cases over playing a stripper in a rap video. If you're wearing the badge, you probably shouldn't be shaken the badge on the pole in a rat video.

It's just, you know, there's certain things that you're expected to do when you go in certain professions. I have a question. How do you steal a driveway? I don't know. Okay, so a woman woke up, went outside, somebody stole her drive. way. This woman, Padge, Padge, I would try to say, I was trying to say both of her first and last name at the same time, Paige Batten. She bought a home in October of last year to flip it and resell it. She listed it for sale. And then potential buyers and their agent called her to say, uh, they called her one morning. They were going over on a Saturday and they said, something's wrong with the house. She said, what? And they're like, your driveway is gone. When are you finishing the driveway? And she was like, wait, what? So she goes there, the whole driveway been just like, pulled up it was concrete so it cracked

how does that even happen so they were trying to figure out how in the world they said trucks were there the other morning and apparently yeah taken somebody stole the driveway

so they're investigating I've never heard anything like that in my life but I mean I guess the neighbors just thought there she's doing something to the house and that's why they didn't

think to yeah exactly a pranksters bypass the Louves security and they snuck a painting in. It's a Belgian duo. They created their own little painting and they snuck it into the Louvre.

And they left it in the same room as the Mona Lisa. Security did not notice them at all. They've got problems over there and not just at the museum. I never say that it was that Jeffrey Epstein. Just so that people understand when you make a donation, your picture is not there. And because they decided to spring this on us in real time, I wanted the Republicans to think about what could potentially happen

because I knew that they didn't even try to go through the FEC. So my team, what they did is they Googled. And that is specifically why I said, A, Jeffrey Epstein, unlike Republicans, I at least don't go out and just tell lies. Because it was not the same one, that's fine. But when Lee Zeldon had something to say, all he had to say was it was a Jeffrey Epstein. He admitted that he did receive donations from a Jeffrey Epstein, so at least I wasn't trying to mislead people.

Yes, you were. Your crack team is on crack. That's Jasmine Crockett. Remember, she came out the other day. She was accusing Lee Zeldin and all these Republicans of taking donations from Jeffrey Epstein. But her dumb as a box of rock staff, and she's too, this woman is one of the dumbest people I've ever seen in my life. And I mean, I know Congress is. standards are low, but dang. They came out, they found the name Jeffrey Epstein in these

donation lists, right? And so they rushed out. Well, look at this. They're all trying to say, because Republicans were asking why Democrats were taking actual money from the dead Jeffrey Epstein. Why was Hakeem Jeffries trying to solicit a six-figure donation to his campaign? Why were other lawmakers like Stacey Plaskin and others getting money from him and texting with him and doing his bidding so she comes out you can tell that they didn't workshop this girlfriend comes out oh my crack team we looked it up and then they found oh they just didn't even bother checking to see because you know k they don't have their pictures on the side when you donate and they said oh it's the same jeffrey eps it's got to be the same one ignore the doctor on some of the names

ignore the location. It's got to be the same one. And now her defense is, well, I didn't say it was the Jeffrey. I just said it was a Jeffrey. Oh my gosh. If she can do an accent, I can't too. She's from Crenna-A-Doo, please. That is one of the worst defenses I've ever heard.

She's trying to move the goalposts. So wait, if you can match the name of a donor, to a name of someone, a different person who did something bad that we can go after all those people because that could be a lot of fun. Right? I feel like we could do some things with that. That is just so dumb. It fell on its face. I can't believe she sat there on CNN and what's her face, Collins, didn't push back on that. I would have interrupted her and said, ma'am, that's one of the dumbest things that I've ever heard and we're all dumber for having heard it. Like, you know, a little, a little not happy Gilmore style, but you know what I'm thinking of. I can't remember

the name, Adam Sandler movie. There's just no, there's no defense of it, number one. They don't have a defense of it. They just simply don't. She said she wasn't trying to mislead people. And then she was defending, here her defense

of Stacey Plaskett. This is cut five. Stacey didn't initiate that chain. Jeffrey initiated that chain, and she took the information. Just like if somebody texts me. Yeah, but she was responding.

and saying, you know, what are you talking about quick? I'm up next. And then her questions were about Rona. But do you think that was inappropriate? I mean, would you text with someone who is a registered sex offender about what you should ask? I honestly know that he had never been convicted of any federal crimes at that time. But he had been in jail already. He had been a deal.

And my deal is this. The Republicans are constantly texting with a 34 count convicted felon. So if it's okay for them to text him at any point in time, then I'm not going to say that that's right or wrong, especially to the extent that you're talking about kicking someone off their committee. Were they texting? Was it a matter of her being involved in the pedophilia? No, it was nothing like that. Oh, my gosh.

She is just brain slop in human form. What a clown. 34, you know, she can't even get it straight. 34 convicted count fell in wet. She should take the time it takes to weave in her hair extensions to study up on some of this stuff. The 34-counted, that's one of the, that whole witch hunt, the whole New York thing, is one of the stupidest cases. We talked about that, and Lissly, Lorraine's got a lot of stuff up on it at Substack Chapter and Verse. Because that whole story, they, it wasn't 34 different crimes.

It was literally like one email. And then anytime anything was done, a response or it was forwarded or opened or anything, that's like a count. That's it. And it was past the statute of limitations. We don't even know. Flashback real quick. So in New York, they can try to elevate, with their state law, elevate a misdemeanor to a felony if they can find that it was committed, a crime that was committed to hide another crime. And there wasn't another crime in this case, but the jury was instructed to ignore the fact that that didn't exist. That's the hands to sky what happened. Alvin Bragg, after all of these other prosecutors, refused to take that case. And that was the bookkeeping thing with what's her face? Oh, what is that slag? What's her name?

You know what I'm talking about? I can't remember the old stripper. What's her face? Her? Don't remind me. I don't have it. I have some, oh gosh, yes. I have something else in my brain that's occupying that space.

But they, Alvin Bragg, if you remember, he said that there was another crime that was done in order to elevate it. and it was already passed statute of limitations in order to elevate it to a felony, even though there wasn't another crime that they actually articulated in the charging docks because we read all of it. And then I don't know how that changes the expiration of the statute. That's insane. I mean, they concocted this thing just so they could say he's a convicted felon, right? So she's sitting here defending Stacey Plaskett.

By the way, can I ask a question? why is a non-voting member, a non-voting delegate on any House committee? Especially like Intel? Why? She's from Virgin Islands. She can't vote. She doesn't have a vote. Why the hell is she on any committee?

I don't understand this. Do you guys understand this? I was talking to a friend of mine and they were, who works on the hill. I asked him this and he was like, uh, I'm like, no. offense to my friend. I was like, I'm sorry, but you're like 68 years old. You've lived your whole life on D.C. on the hill. What? It's wild, but she can't. And she's on congressional committees, a number of committees. She, I don't know how she, the only reason that she probably had, how did she get Epstein's number? How did Epstein get her number? This is

actually a question that Florian just asked. How did, who gave Jeffrey Plaskett's personal phone number. Which would imply that they've conversed before. Yeah, she's on the subcommittee on weaponization of federal government, committee on oversight, and agriculture. She shouldn't be on any committee. Well, according to this, it says here, because she is a U.S. Virgin Islands representative, she is explicitly permitted by House rules to participate in and vote within congressional

committees. Which is insane, because she's a not, but she's technically a non-voting delegate because of Virgin Islands. So it's weird how it's set up. But the whole point, how did he have her number? And it wasn't just, because I know a lot of lawmakers will have two phones. They have their personal phone for their family and their friends and their lives, their personal lives off capital lives.

And then they have their phone for capital work that has, you know, that's where they keep all their documents. They keep everything on it because everything, you have to keep account of everything. I don't know if she has that set up. I don't think every lawmaker has that set up. I know some who do and some who do not. But how did he get the number to the personal phone that she had and she had with her at that hearing? And she literally had said at one point, I'm getting ready. I'm coming up to ask questions.

She was asking for his direction. What would you have me ask? And that's when she was speaking with Michael Cohen, the hearing was. with Michael Cohen, who is Trump's attorney still at the time. That's pretty significant. And then Jasmine Crockett's defense is to say what, that, oh, well, you know, it's not like they were sexting. That is so gross.

That's something I did not need to know. And then Plaskett, cut 10, she doesn't have any regrets. Listen to this. She's ruining Crocket's defense of her. Wait, let me just better understand that. What is that point? And because at the time he was a known sex offender, and it had been detailed all the sexual abuse. There are a lot of people who have done a lot of crimes, and as a prosecutor, you get information from people where you can.

I've interviewed confidential informants. I've interviewed narcotics, drug traffickers, and others, and that doesn't mean that I'm their friend. That doesn't mean that they are friendly with me. It means that they have information that I mean, and that I'm trying to get it the truth, and that's what I did. So no regrets, basically, is what you're saying. I'm moving forward. She takes direction. She was taking direction from Epstein.

She wasn't getting background information. She was saying, remember, this came out after all of this with the questioning with Plaskett came out after these emails showed that Epstein was talking to Michael Wolfe. You guys remember Michael Wolfe is the, and I say this is somebody who knew who's known Steve Bannon personally. I've worked in an office with him elbow to elbow for over a decade. I think it's super suss when you're in the president's inner circle and you're bringing that snake into the White House. And he just didn't, he did not just bring him into the White House. That guy had all access. I don't think y'all understand how serious that is. That was his first

book of all that hit, all the hit pieces that came out. And while that was happening, because Bannon was working with Epstein reportedly, he was advising him. Wolf. Epstein was asking Wolf, you know, what can I do to bury him, talking about Trump politically? All of this was happening at the same time. Man, he had snakes that were undermining him right under his feet in his first term. Now maybe some people who were so easy to be power adjacent and kiss whatever backside presented itself to them, maybe they'll adopt a little bit more of my discernment on this stuff because I have my way of thinking for a reason. And he wanted to go at Trump. Epstein had turned. They, and I think it had to do with Trump.

My thought is from all the documents that I saw and the stuff that's out there already. Because it's like he snitched on him to the FBI. It's like he blew the whistle. And it just seems like it was vengeance, a vendetta for that. That's how, because otherwise, like, why? I mean, all of a sudden he's gunning for him. And he was, he was literally email. emailing with Michael Wolf, all that's out, all those emails came out last week, emailing Michael

Wolf, asking him, what else do you need? Yeah, we can bury him. And the fact that he wrote that in an email goes to, even after all this stuff happened, he still thought he was untouchable. He thought he was untouchable. And that Plaskett, so they all knew this, there is no defense of this at all whatsoever, a convicted pedophile, convicted sex offender, has the personal phone of a member of the house. And just as he was with Michael Wolfe was directing her on how to talk to Trump. It was like Epstein was sitting there on that house, that committee conducting that hearing himself. There is no defense. I don't think that, I'm sorry, I don't think non-voting members of the U.S. House should ever be on any kind of committees. I don't.

She's been there since 2015. So she can introduce legislation. She can participate in committee. So she can vote in a committee, but she cannot vote in legislation on the House floor. I don't think she should. I don't think anything. She needs to be stripped of all of it at this point. This is just awful.
