Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Well, I did not have World of Warcraft and Florida Man as two things, you know, that would immediately come up in our first week of 2024, but, you know, here we are. So a 31-year-old Florida man was arrested and is facing charges because police say that he hid a missing Ohio.

because he planned to have dirty times with her. The detective in the case arrested Thomas Ebersole just a few days ago. And according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office, the FBI had reached out to the detective for assistance because they were trying to find this 16-year-old. They found her after she logged into World of Warcraft, and they found Ebersoll's home address. And upon further investigation, they learned that he also had a World of Warcraft account. They accessed it from the location.

And when law enforcement contacted him, he initially denied knowing her. And then when they pressed, he said, okay, he knows her. He went to Ohio to meet her, brought her back to his home. And he said he was in a romantic relationship with the minor and said he was going to hide her in his home and eventually marry her, which is super illegal. And so they turned the messages on the online chat discord to the detective. And they found all kinds of stuff. So he's facing multiple charges, interfering with child custody, traveling to meet a mine. minor and sheltering an unmarried minor. And yeah. So parents, you need to be watching your kids

online as well. And if they're talking to older dudes, you need to be monitoring that. And like, at this point, the guy, you can't tell me the guy didn't know how old she was. So he willingly went along with us. Yeah. Weirdo. All right. Callie. World of Warcraft, though. Not everybody who plays that is like that, I guess I say. Like, come on. Let's, see this, okay, so this is an Orlando man. Can you made mention of this? Remember how I told you in the headlines? Well, maybe you don't. I think it was our first hour. There are these companies that are going to be sending people's remains into space. And this Orlando man is one of them. He's going to send his mom's remains to deep space aboard the Vulcan rocket. Her remains are going to join 200 people's

ashes in the company Celestis' first ever deal. Oh my, can I just stop from him? minute. What if like, okay, what if there are like some aliens out there? And they come across one of these capsules. And they're like, what's this? And they open it up. And it's a bunch of our dead people in there. Isn't that? That seems weird, right? Why? The cremated remains, right? I don't care. It's weird. I'm sorry. I just think it's weird. If that's your jam, good for you. But I think it's your jam's weird. I just, I'm not into it, man. Would you be shot to space? I mean, I really don't care what happens after. Like, I always think cemeteries are a waste of great real estate.

But I have very weird views about this. I just don't think, like, shooting it into space. Isn't that like littering? Well, there's people that do it like at Niagara Falls. They just spread the ashes out. So my mom's like, when I kick the bucket, I want to be, I want to be cremated. I want you to throw my ashes. I'm not going to say where.

But I told her, I'm like, Mom, I'm pretty sure it's a felony. number one number two what if it's windy we've all seen big lobowski okay and number three ew so i i'm like i you know i don't what are you going to do you can come back and haunt me if i don't do what you ask i mean it's me okay uh i don't know like it just to me it's weird right is it weird i just get i don't know yeah it's weird like why can't you just be turned into a gym and be done with it right like those companies out there that did which also is weird if i'm being honest I don't know. I mean, I, of course, I'm also the person that keeps her dead dog's ashes in her China cabinet next to my husband's grandmother's China.

So I just don't know if I'm probably like the best source of opinion on this. You know what I'm saying? Is that weird? Yeah, it's weird, but I really love Louie. I love that dog, right? Is that weird? But are you tossing his ashes anywhere? No, it's in a box in the China cabinet.

You kind of hanging on to it, aren't you? I don't know, maybe. Yeah, that's the thing. I put it there. What else am I going to do with it? You're not shooting it in space or spreading it out of Niagara Falls. I mean, what if you wanted to go, like, swimming somewhere and you realize somebody just dumped their dead nana's ashes in here? I don't know. It's weird, man. Right? I don't know. Like, I just get real weird about this stuff.

I don't even, like, sit here talking about it. I'm uncomfortable. As we move, our partners who help bring you free radio.

In a historic movement for justice in the summer of 2020, I signed the most significant police reform executive order in history. Hmm. This 2020 BLN, the riots, how is this a historic movement for justice is what I would like to know? How is this a historic movement? When you look at where all of these riots and all of the disasters, destruction and everything else took place. Where did it, where did it, where were they, where did this happen? It happened in predominantly minority neighborhoods and it affected predominantly minority businesses.

So you had minority businesses and minority neighborhoods that were utterly destroyed by a movement that claimed to somehow advocate on their behalf. That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense at all. It was a violation. I mean, we had rolling violent riots that I wish the office of the executive actually would have stopped. I don't know why in the hell we had a, you know, Republicans in the White House and Republicans in the house. And yet this was allowed to happen. And then there was a portion when all of us were told to stay in our homes and everything else. And yet these riots and everything, I mean, they tried to burn down a church.

But if you want to ask questions about it now, you're told that, you know, to shut up and just get in line. we live in a monarchy and pledge fealty. I got questions. So do a lot of other people. I mean, every night we saw riots on TV. Every night, something was on fire. Every damn night. Entire neighborhoods.

People were assaulted and attacked. A kid was killed in Portland. I was just crazy. And it was all sanctioned. Not only was it sanctioned by this administration. but Kamala Harris promoted the bail fund. That was the insurrection. If you want to have a discussion about an insurrection, that was the insurrection.

Was those riots. You don't get justice with injustice. No justice has ever been achieved by promoting injustice, ever. So you can't claim that this was a movement about justice. It was a movement about injustice. Good heavens. yeah, mostly peaceful. Good grief.

And then he did this thing where he pandered again. I want to know why in the world Democrats always go and they default to this, what is it?

It's this reverend, James Cleveland, who made this, he had this originally. Hillary Clinton became famous for Clinton. Now you have got you got Joe Biden, who's speaking to this church, and I guess

he realized I'm in a black church, I guess I then he decided to pander them one of the most like bigoted ways. Listen. So ridiculous. I fellow Americans, this is a time of choosing. So let us choose the truth. Let us choose America. I know, I know we can do it together

and it's the gospel song saying we've come too far from where we started. Nobody told me the road to be easy. I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me. my fellow Americans I don't think the good Lord brought us this far to leave us behind

You know heaven forbid Joe Biden quote like Frederick Douglass or somebody But if you asked him who Frederick Douglass was He probably wouldn't know Remember when Hillary Clinton did it? Remember? Yeah listen You know this?

One voice. I don't feel no ways tired Tired? Oh my gosh, you remember that? From where I started from Nobody told me that the road would be easy. I don't believe he brought me this far. Oh my gosh. Oh, my gosh. They always go to that quote every time. They always go to that quote.

I mean, you know, it'd be cool if they like, I don't know, quoted Thomas Sol even, you know. They probably don't know who he is either, just thinking out loud. That's, but they always go back. I mean, there's all of them, all the Democrats. They always quote that. They always quote James Cleveland. They always go back and quote that. What was this point of like mentioning this? I don't know.

Like what was his whole thing of going into that? He's fearmongering and race hustling by going to the church because he otherwise he, he's exploiting the tragedy and trying to use a tragedy that was created by bad leadership. and I would say, I mean, all of these agencies that are supposed to run these systems, they all say that, oh, no, you don't need guns. These agencies are going to keep you safe. Then the agencies allow killers to actually buy firearms because of the clerical errors. Regardless of whether or not you like the system, that's not the question. The question is these are the people who said, no, no, no, we've got to have these things in place to keep you safe,

except, you know, when we don't actually make them work. They don't tell you about that part. good heavens but then they'll use their errors as a way to argue to make you more vulnerable so he's where's he isn't he going to go to he's like doing a tragedy tour isn't he where's he going after this no i mean did he do the valley forge thing already where he was trying to yeah so what's he's he's like doing something else after this yeah i'll look at the list but there's there's a there's a whole campaign it all blends to get because it's all the same message of hate and

Republicans are racist and I know it's hard and all that I don't know it's the same Jesus the same God Lee I can't deal

and we're going to have golly how many unless he decides to drop out which it's not going to happen I think the only way he drops out is if if it's not Trump as the Republican nominee

if Trump isn't Republican nominee, then I think Biden will drop out because he's the only person that he's competitive against. Don't get mad at me. I'm just citing the polls. I mean, we can ignore all of the data that's out there and I can just, you know,

blow smoke up everybody's backside if it makes this all easier to sleep at night, but I'm just being honest with you. That is the way it is. And Democrats are perfectly fine with allowing that to happen because you all know he's not making these decisions in the White House.

You all know this. It's not him. Galley. Have you seen, where's the other soundbite that he has here? the one where he couldn't even, I don't even know what he was saying here. I think our friend Larry sent us, our Vegas Larry sent us to us.

I don't know what. What was he even saying? And it was just a bunch of stutter. He wouldn't even stuttering. He was not even getting his words right. They like to try to advertise his inability to make one coherent sentence as stutter. And that's not what a stutter is. Listen.

Those pushing the big lie have a conspiracy theory among conspiracy theories that outweighs them all. that there's what but here's the fact there's where we don't have facts their whole theory has no facts has no proof has no evidence what

I think he lost track when he was reading the teleprompter does he have a teleprompter? Yeah I'm sure he has a teleprompter out there I don't see I would Yeah giant letters Good heavens So a couple of other things Speaking of FBI and errors Did you guys see this from NBC?

You know, the Perry school, the trans militant murderer, another trans activist murdering school kids? So the Iowa killer was active on Discord, and the FBI was aware. They said that they had flagged the chat room had been flagged to the FBI in November, and an agent had reached out and asked for more information. And a lot of people told the FBI exactly what was happening. They sent screenshots, and they never heard back. No one ever followed up. you know how they should

they should have told them that maybe we heard that they walked past the Capitol on January 6th if you want to get them to do something they walk past the Capitol on January 6th I had a friend of mine who was like now to be fair I'm sure they get a lot of tips

and fewer probably legitimate but you know it's easy in hindsight to say that they should have done something that's not what the argument is though the argument isn't well they get a lot of tips the argument has been you deserve fewer rights because these agencies can keep you safe. That's what the argument is.

You deserve fewer rights because these agencies can keep you safe. Well, if you get too many damn tips to follow up on, isn't that like more of a reason for people to be armed and able to protect themselves? That's the way I look at it. Heavens on earth. And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right.

So a couple of things here. first of the snowstorm that's hitting what 60 million people in the northwestern us this weekend what do they say it's gonna frigid temperatures i'm hearing all kinds of stuff well you live in the northeast why is this a big shocking thing am i being like mean you all know how to do with snow y'all know how to do with coal you know home is in like the the thumb and the mitten of michigan right or the tip of the index finger of michigan y'all don't even have a c in your houses i know this y'all used to the cold So they said it's a big, the first big snowstorm, a big one. They said it'll be the biggest in two years is impacting the interior mid-Atlantic and much of New England.

Again, it's like saying there's going to be some heat in Texas, guys. Let's get ready. Okay, so dry heat. New York girls' high school basketball game was canceled after anti-symotic slurs were hurled at players via the New York Post. This was in Yonkers. They said it was canceled this week when players on the home team were screaming anti-symotic slurs at their Jewish opponents who needed security guards. who needed security guards to escort them off the court to safety. I'm going to tell you something.

If you're a parent and you didn't go down there to whoop the ass of your kid on the court who was doing it, then you suck as a parent. I don't know. I personally think that your scum of the earth and your stupid brat kid is too. So screw y'all and blank your kids. Right? Okay. Honestly, if I saw one of my kids do that,

oh, man, there would not be enough flip-flops in the world. There wouldn't be. I would be on that court. I wouldn't be just be beating my kid. I'd be beating all your kids. And any parent that came down to stop me, I beat you too. So, mm-mm. Yeah, they were screaming, blank you Jew, I support Hamas.

That's literally what, and they're on tape saying this. We can't play in a Niva because they're, yeah, literally saying they support Hamas. That's a terror group, you stupid inbred brat. That's a terror group. Good grief. I just, you know, I have no at all whatsoever. Sympathy or courtesy for these people. Sometimes rough hands are needed.

Let's see. Jody Foster says that Generation Z can be really annoying to work with. Really? I mean, we are not shocked. She says that she finds Gen Z really annoying, but she hopes that people can find their own path to help them learn how to relax. And she says that she goes, they're annoying to the workplace. She joked. They're like, now I'm not feeling it today.

I'm going to come in at 10.30. Or in emails, she says, I'll tell them, this is all grammatically incorrect. Did you not check your spelling? And they're like, why would we do that? Isn't that limiting? Like, you can't even proofread your stuff? Like, what does it matter with you? My gosh, I'd never send anything in had I not done.

Oh, my gosh. She's right, though. She's absolutely right. Let's see. MSN. I feel like if you have to be a real estate broker, then your first job isn't a rapper. Texas rapper and real estate broker was arrested for allegedly kidnapping a pregnant woman and locking her in his garage for years.

52-year-old Lee Carter, aka Viper, was formally charged Thursday after Houston police responded to his home on a report of a kid. kidnapping. They said they found the woman who told them she had been trapped inside according to court documents. She had been abducted about four or five years prior while pregnant and panhandling on the street. The man approached her to give her a dollar and then returned to ask her if she needed

help and then told her to get in the car. So yeah, they were able to, that's crazy. I also feel like don't get in the car with weirdo people. And carnivorous invasive frogs are breeding in Georgia, say biologist. I don't like that. Carnivorous. Don't they eat bugs in that anyway?

that's like meat right stick with us we got more in store i was reading back into his history and deloid austin's history and you know that he's not considered like this great talent like he's he was formerly at sencom there was a lot of criticism as to how he ran his job when he was at how he did his job at syncom all this stuff so i'm just you know he's been out for you know a little bit now they had no idea Biden had no idea although they're trying to

I feel like they're trying to retcon that they released a statement where they came out and said well actually you know we knew we were talking about it was he though he was in St. Croix he was on vacation and we were told that whenever he goes on vacation that he's essentially

working the whole time right that he's working the whole time and so that we really didn't it's not a big deal if he takes so many vacations. But apparently, I guess no one, I don't know, no one told him because other people are saying that nobody knew that he was hospitalized for days. Like, dude was taken back to ICU for post-operative pain. I mean, he's, and in fact, here's the thing that even, that blows my mind even more.

So his deputy, and this is CNN that reported this, you know, that bastion of super conservatism, CNN. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, because the left is always like, we don't like your sources. And the right prog, we don't like your sources. The Deputy Defense Secretary wasn't even told that he had been hospitalized. She was at Kathleen Hicks. She's number two at Pentagon.

She was pretty much kept in the dark by all of this and wasn't told that he was hospitalized. And he's, what, eighth? I can't remember how far away is from the office of the. executive, but dudes in line, right? I mean, the dude's in line. She didn't even know that he was hospitalized, that he had had a medical procedure when he was on leave. And they didn't actually say what it was. They said it was an elective medical procedure or something to that effect. But then he had post-operative pain. He went back. He began experiencing severe pain on the evening of January 1st, and they took him via ambulance. So it was serious enough for him to be

transported via ambulance to Walter Reed, right? and they said that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was notified on January 2nd that he had been hospitalized the day before. So apparently, Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, General CQ Brown, wasn't even notified until the day after all of this that Austin had been hospitalized. And then apparently all the people in the chain of command, the military service secretaries, et cetera, they weren't even notified until four days after he was checked back into the hospital. that's kind of crazy. Not even the number two even knew. Not even she knew that he had been hospitalized. She was just assuming his duties. She had no idea. She was kept in the dark until three days after he checked back into the hospital for postoperative complications. And the president, according to CNN, he was unaware that Lloyd Austin,

was even hospitalized until three days into his hospitalization. So I've got a lot of questions about this. And the, I mean, I think it's interesting that the left is reporting on this the way they are. Apparently, I don't think they like him from the beginning. But there's a reason why this is a top story for actually several reasons why this is a top story. because we have right now, we've got back and forth with the Iranian proxies, the Houthis, in the Red Sea. We've got troops actually abroad. We've got everything happening with Israel versus Hamas. The Chinese saber rattling. North and South Korea.

I mean, we can go on and on. The deluge at the border and the national security threat that that presents. and our secretary of defense legit disappeared for a week plus. He was gone, hospitalized. Nobody had any idea. Which brings me back full circle to my original question. Do we need one? Do we need this guy?

If we didn't even know? I mean, apparently we can still operate while Joe Biden takes. How many days of vacation is he taken? almost it's been over half of his presidency that he's been on vacation I'm not exaggerating that's like legit how often he's been on vacation so I mean I guess maybe Lloyd Austin got jealous I don't know so he takes the time long does nobody here's the other thing I was kind of throwing back and forth in my head I don't know

how the Biden administration runs things because when you look at what's happening in the red scene we talked a little bit about this last week. You know, you have the canal over there. That's a huge, huge means of shipping. That's a major, major issue, oil and gas, you know, et cetera, et cetera. They have briefings every single day. They have national security briefings every single day. Did no one think, well, where's Lloyd Austin? So we can ask him a question about this. Did no one stop? and go, you know, we got these drone attacks happening. And we just, you know, now we're responding to the Houthi attack by attacking Houthi, an Iranian proxy group. That's an escalation. Should we bring on,

should we bring in the Secretary of Defense on this? The actual Secretary of Defense. Should we bring this guy in? Do you see where I'm going with this? It's weird. How is this guy, how does he stay in his job after this. Now he released a statement. Let me find this statement. Well, his people did. Because he was, it basically, let me just, I don't need to read the whole thing. It was basically, my bad. I don't even, I don't even need to sit here and go. NBC was reported. I read this a couple hours ago. He was, it was basically all, oh, my bad. He says, quote, I'm very glad to be on the men and look forward to returning the Pentagon soon. I also understand the media concerns about transparency. And I recognize I could have done a better job ensuring the public was appropriately

informed. I commit to doing better. But this is important to say this was my medical procedure and I take full responsibility for my decisions about disclosure. So basically he just told you to shut the hell up. That last sentence. He was basically saying this was my procedure and it's my up to my discretion whether or not I tell you or anybody about it. The dude has not been able to perform his duty since New Year's. Now, they said that he resumed his full duties just this past Friday evening, but he was in the hospital Saturday still, wasn't he? So, oh, and by the way, guess where his deputy was when she was told that she had to assume his

duties, but she didn't know what was going on. Guess where she was? No. No, guess where she was. Uh-uh. One last guess. No. No.

She was on vacation of Puerto Rico. Oh. She wouldn't even in D.C. She wouldn't even there. She wasn't even anywhere near. So she just, that's how last minute it was. They didn't even tell the girl. She was in Puerto Rico on vacation, living her best life.

And they're like, hey, by the way, Kathleen, guess what? You're now the interim temp. Seck death. Have fun. She's in Puerto Rico. Just saying, she had no idea. no idea. Pentagon officials haven't described his condition or anything else.

Again, while he was in the hospital, we went at this dude. Remember we had the strike. This is pulled this out. This is NBC. U.S. Air Strike kills a leader of Iranian-backed militia and Baghdad. That took place while he was in the hospital. Totally

not even assuming his duties. Okay? We had bases with Americans on them attacked six times by Iranian-back militias. we've been considering how to strike the Houthis because they keep going at ships in the Red Sea. We've got two carrier strike groups in the Mediterranean right now

because of the everything going on in Gaza. And then speaking of, you know, the Houthis, they're based in Yemen. They've been attacking all those container ships coming out of the Red Sea. We had the destroyer that shot down two Houthi missiles. That was on December 30th. This was all while this dude has been in the

hospital not able to do his job and you had number two out in Puerto Rico so again I go back to do we need a sec death because apparently we don't 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.
