Absurd Truth
Podcast
Did you, by the way,
did you get the video
or the audio
that I had of the lady
Clearly she was a graduate
of the early layering center
talking about rice and bananas
Okay
I feel like it needs
Just play it real quick
It's cut 22
It's a very interesting story
Go ahead
It is
So I'm Somali
I'm proud to be Somali
To me being Somali
isn't just eating bananas with rice.
It's a lot.
It's like,
it's,
it's,
it's an interesting thing.
It's,
it's very hard to describe
what means to be Somali
and what it means to be American.
But it's like a cultural fusion.
It's kind of like the bananas and rice.
You know,
people don't really see,
like,
you know,
it's,
you know,
people don't think,
oh,
you can even.
I mean,
it's not like bananas and rice.
but it's like bananas and rice because you can eat bananas and rice and it's bananas and rice
such as maps I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some
people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education
like such as South Africa and Iraq everywhere like such
I mean, that's her. She actually made more sense because I knew what the hell she was talking about. She was talking about maps and people in Iraq may not have them. And this chick is like, I mean, what is it? The guy behind her, though, is a meme. He was like, at first he was serious and then you could just see confusion kind of spread across his face. And he's like, the hell. He's like, what is happening here? It's like bananas and rice. But also, not, it's like that.
Bananas and rice at the early layering center.
It's hard to describe it.
I went to the early layering center.
I'm a graduate and I'm also a teacher.
And the president.
Bananas and rice.
Wow.
I mean, no.
And that was from St. Paul, Minnesota.
So I don't know, man.
This is crazy.
Somebody made a decision to put her out in public in front of a microphone like that.
Somebody did that.
Well, I mean, have you seen the guy who was running for, like, who ran for mayor over there?
Early Learing Center graduates.
That says it all.
That says it all right there.
She was probably topping her class at the early Learing Center.
I'm beginning to think Somalia hasn't sent us their best.
Can you say you're beginning?
I'm beginning to think that.
January is when a lot of people finally stop and look at their money. And instead of chasing big
predictions or the next hot thing, they just want something solid. And that's why gold keeps coming up
as a steady, reliable option. I was talking with Colin Plum over at Noble Gold Investments. And we were
discussing how no one really knows what 2026 is going to bring, elections, markets, wars. But one
thing we do know, gold and silver have outlasted every empire, every crash, every currency. And at the
end of the day, it's about that peace of mind. Having a little gold in your strategy can make those
wild market swings a lot easier to live with because real wealth isn't flashy. It's being prepared
and protecting what you've already built for yourself, your kids, and your grandkids.

Secretary Christie Nome must resign or face impeachment.
The rush is up there.
It's all very weird, though.
I don't know.
Oh, my God.
I need a napkin to know nothing.
I need a napkin to know nothing.
No, no, no.
I don't believe her because she has.
lied about marrying her brother, so I don't believe anything she says. Those are the rules, right?
And these are the people that blame Charlie Kirk for his own death. Welcome back to the program,
Dana Lash, with you. So the guy, apparently security guard took the guy down. There was no
serious injury. Was it staged? How does somebody get that close to somebody in Congress?
How does that happen?
The guy, Anthony Kazmirzak, 55, he was booked in the Hennepin County Jail for third degree of assault.
He doesn't have a previous violent record.
He's got some DUIs.
And that's per news week.
He's pretty loud online.
he let's see they had a bankruptcy petition this is newsweek that filed in minnesota's third district
2019 he had credit medical and legal debt he's not married registered as disabled receiving social
security payments he has a history of political posts it said that he was critical of democrats like
biden and harris he posted a political cartoon in 2021 criticizing illan omar's security spending
The New York Post says it's weird because he was like hinting as to what he was going to do to his neighbor before it happened.
And he had sent a text to his neighbor that said, I'm going to the Omar thing.
The neighbor said, I'm like, what do you mean?
And it was the town hall thing and I might get arrested.
And the neighbor said, I figured that it was nonsense, that he wasn't going to do anything dumb.
So I don't know.
He's held without bail.
I mean, I don't know what it is.
He's going to have, he's going to face some serious penalties regardless.
But it is weird, though.
I got to say.
It's a little odd, Kane.
I mean, you're being cautious and I get it.
Cut nine.
She was like looking at him before he stood up.
It was totally staged.
You think it was?
It's totally staged.
Kane thinks it's totally staged.
I don't know if I believe it or not.
Totally staged.
But it seemed inorganic in a way that I can't describe.
You guys know what I mean?
Like my gut feeling is usually not wrong.
It's because it was staged.
It's because she married her brother, and I don't believe her.
Yeah, cut nine, she looks at him really quickly before he stood up.
And I don't know, what are people saying online that this is indicative of something?
I mean, he's sitting in front of her.
Can we just go over the timeline of just this video that he's playing?
Right?
First, she does a little nod to him, right?
Look at that right there.
You saw that little, what?
Look, there it is.
That little head nod to him.
Was she just looking down, or was it a nod, you think?
Oh, come on.
Looking right at it.
the dude and by the way if you saw the video of this exchange on C-SPAN the camera actually shows this
dude 20 to 30 seconds in a frame all by himself oh yeah I saw that drinking water and looking weird
yeah and so then she does the nod right then he gets up right after that nod and attacks her
by the way she doesn't flinch right she doesn't flinch at all if someone's going to be squirting
something on you first of all I'd flinch second of all I'd be like what the heck did you just
you know, squirt on me. What if it's acid? I may need to remove a piece of clothing here so I don't
get damaged anymore. She doesn't do that. What does she do? She doesn't flinch. She runs after the guy,
runs after the guy. That's what seemed performative to me. It's completely staged. This is
100% staged. Not an inch of this is genuine or real or authentic. None of it. Now, you can't blame us
for merely being cautious and asking questions because, again, this is a woman who lied to
get in the country, married her brother. She took taxpayer dollars from the Somali diaspora in
Minnesota. They have millions and hundreds of billions of dollars, actually, at this point.
And receipts showed that she directly benefited from that. So yeah, we've got a lot of questions.
She's engaged in fraud after fraud after fraud after fraud. Yeah, I mean, we got a lot of questions,
and I think that's what happens when you're a fraudulent person who commits fraud is people
might not believe you when you do other things.
That's a good point, too. But she also refused medical attention and then went
right back to speaking.
If you got a substance,
do we know what that substance is?
Has anyone told us that it damaged your clothes?
Was it acid?
I mean,
the way that they acted,
like they were personally touched by J6
when they weren't even there.
So that makes me think,
okay, well,
why aren't they making a bigger deal out of this?
If it was really a big-time Trump guy
that was going after her,
her pattern of behavior,
would dictate that she would be making a major deal of this.
She would have had, she would have gone to the hospital.
She had done a damn CNN interview from her hospital bed.
She, oh my gosh, it would be about,
but it's just weird that it's not,
which immediately makes me think,
hmm, there's something about this that's off.
And immediately, like noisy sheep,
right afterwards, the Astonstein's and the rest of them online
are out there saying,
look, it's a Trump supporter attacking a Democrat.
It's like...
Is it though?
Yeah.
Is it really a...
Jesse Smolett was like,
well, that's...
Even I did a better job than that.
I mean, yeah, his guys literally wrote a check to buy kidnapping supplies.
I'm not even kidding you.
Like, they wrote a check.
Yeah, is in the memo of the check.
Memo.
Kidnapping supplies.
Yeah.
Got a rope.
You got some tape here.
You got some alcohol.
What are you boys looking at doing tonight?
You know, I mean, come on.
By the way, does anybody else when they go to the grocery store,
love writing entire life stories in your head about the person in front of you and all their groceries
based on all of that like a Kaiser-Sosay usual suspects thing.
Wait, I'm not the only one that doesn't.
I will literally have a whole life story made up about the person next in front of me just by going
off their groceries.
It's fascinating.
That's funny.
I do that just so I can tolerate people better.
I'll make up good stories about them just so I can tolerate them better.
Oh, man.
So I don't know.
It's just, it's weird, right?
and that we don't know
that we haven't heard anything else about it.
No, it's fake.
It's staged.
I know no one's wanting to make that definitive
conclusion, but I'm going
to do that right now.
I'm just saying that there's something that seems
very inauthentic about it to me.
Yeah, it's staged. That's why.
I don't know. It just seems weird.
And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
A NASA jet erupted in flames as it skid
skid skidded skids down the runway at a Houston airport.
That's kind of, it was a belly flop landing in a way.
It was a mechanical failure that prevented its glanding gear from deploying.
It was at Ellington Airport.
The aircraft touched down, scraped the runway, sent sparks and flames trailing behind.
Two pilots were able to exit the aircraft and responders secured the scene.
NASA confirmed everybody was safe.
There were no additional injuries about the mechanical failure.
neuroscience says apparently they're suggesting that shoes can alter your mind they totally kind of love shoes oh my gosh shoes these shoes roll
they do but they're talking about athletic footwear Nike says that its shoes can activate the brain heightened sensory awareness you know what else can do that
a pair of lebutons they can the the heel height and the pinch and the toe can definitely heighten your sensory awareness
but they were saying that it improves stimulation
with the bottom of your feet.
I think this is all stupid.
Do you believe any of this, Kane?
I mean, it's a company that makes shoes putting up...
Neuro insults.
We have smart shoes now.
Everything's got to be smart.
Your souls can tweet.
Positive info on their new line of shoes.
I think it's all so dumb.
It's all snake oil.
It all is.
I don't believe any of that stuff.
I do think that you should probably not wear a platform tennis shoes, though.
Just aesthetically speaking.
Yeah.
Seattle's named the most.
expensive city to host a Super Bowl party. Probably because you would have to buy a plane ticket
to get the hell out of there because it's Seattle. Oh, Danny, you're so mean. But yeah,
apparently that's the most expensive place. Everything's super expensive there. Doctors are staying
loyal to their pocketbook, apparently, and ignoring new federal vaccine recommendations.
What? This is an ABC 7 story. Wait a minute. What? So they're saying, no, it's because doctors want to
You know, they get kickbacks from vaccines in that, right?
Big time kickbacks.
So actually, they're not ignored.
They're actually penalizing their own pocketbook to delay instead of going along the schedule
that the big farmer would have you go on.
This is ABC Channel 7, eyewitness news.
Oh, it's by somebody who also works at CNN.
Jen Christensen over here on CNN.
Yeah, so they, I mean, it's literally speculation.
It starts out with how the American Academy,
pediatrics released an updated recommendation
for what vaccines should get.
And then the headlines like,
doctors are ignoring because of their pocket
books.
Or maybe because
they're following science.
I mean, you know,
it's also an option. I get so sick of this stuff.
Rice University,
copper aluminum filter can destroy
forever chemicals a hundred times faster.
Why don't you just stop making them?
Yeah.
But what's it?
What are they four?
Hi, would you like some forever chemicals?
No.
No, thanks.
I, um, they are everywhere.
The PFSAS. PFAS.
PFAS?
They developed at Rice University a material for filtering out all the PFAS, the polyfluorical substances and synthetic compounds.
So since Teflon, Teflon did it all.
And they said that it's new tech, it's a mix of copper and aluminum that
can absorb long chain PFAs 100 times faster than traditional filtration systems.
Again, or just, just the, just a suggestion.
Ethan Hawk, this is 23.
He's, I mean, the artist, they never have any room to speak about anything, you know.
Listen.
I never felt scared about what I was going to say until the last couple of years.
Where you have to feel like, oh, I have to be careful or what.
I don't know, but there's a kind of fear in the air.
that I've never felt before
and it's not America
to get to be an artist in a free
country that's that
I've had enough of an education
to know what a privilege that is
and I don't feel that way anymore
and that's something that has to change
wow he doesn't feel safe
he should talk to Charlie Kirk about that
oh wait he can't because someone shot
Charlie Kirk in the neck for speaking because
they didn't like him because he was a conservative
or you know what
he should maybe at least ask Trump
because, you know, twice they've tried to kill Trump just because he's a Republican.
So, or maybe he should go and ask Steve Scalese and Rand Paul.
Steve Scalese, because he almost got murdered on a ball field by a leftist and ran Paul because
he was almost beaten to death by a leftist.
I mean, I could sit here and go on and on.
Maybe ask Brett Kavanaugh.
There was a leftist that wanted to kill him in his old family that was caught on his street
heading toward the house.
Maybe he should ask him, you know, oh, I just, I just can't believe it.
I'm here literally on the right carpet talking into a microphone about how I don't feel
like I've ever been able to talk.
before. I'm just, you know, talking to you on this microphone and making all my movies and giving
all these interviews, but I've never really felt like I could ever actually like talk before and like
these people are so self-involved and so self-obsessed. It's truly stunning. But, I mean,
when I, Ethan Hawk doesn't, I don't want to dislike him, but I'm like, hello, self-awareness much.
just it's like going to
it's like going to like south sudan and looking at the starving children and going
wow i'm starving i'm so hungry i it's just like that it's just tone deaf and completely
this is john le guzamo he doesn't want you to go see any of his movies he hates you listen
if you follow ice unfollow me don't come to my shows and don't watch my movies
Okay, so what if, what if we never watched any of his shows or movies anyway?
What do we do now?
Oh, wow, got me there, John.
Wow, I'm not going to go see whatever the hell you're doing.
Whoa.
Boy, we are all super punished and stuff, right?
Oh, bummer.
Seriously, what do we do?
Because I don't.
I wouldn't even count him as one of my grandma's rule of three if he kicked the bucket tomorrow.
I heard somebody out there in radio land go, oh, it's true.
So he doesn't want anybody to go see his shows.
Okay.
Thanks.
Doing me a favor.
It's all right.
Good heavens.
I, I, um, not, I, he's always mad.
He's just always mad.
Always mad.
never ends.
I mean, no matter what business you're in,
is it always great to go out there and say,
don't enjoy my work.
Don't enjoy my business.
Don't enjoy what makes me money.
Yeah.
Like, why would you tell half of your potential audience that?
So you can turn around and then bitch about how no one goes and sees your stuff.
Because you're Hispanic.
That's what he'll say.
Oh, God.
He's John Lig, just realize this.
John Liguzamo's mad.
because you want rapist and murderers deported.
Think about that. That's legit it.
I'm not exaggerating. That's why I'm running circles around the block with us.
And I'm going to do it like ad nauseum in perpetuity.
Because that's how insane this is.
This is some Ike Turner stuff, man, like using it loosely.
You imagine Democrats, you know, you get out there in the street.
You protect those poor rapists and murderers.
Meanwhile, all the people that got raped and murdered are sitting like on the sidelines like, well, damn, what about us?
What about us?
The victims?
No, you're not the victims.
It's these poor rapist and murderers.
Oh, forgive us.
The guy stopped raping somebody long enough to turn to the camera and go, I don't want to go back to my third world hellhole.
Where I was also convicted of rape and murder.
I just, that's what these people are asking.
I can't even imagine being an elected official in a straight face like that.
your narrative because that's what this is. I really feel like Republicans have a missed opportunity
here. You know what? I would be taking out AI generated campaign ads where these rapists and
murderers are like, you know, vote for this person. I endorse their campaign because, you know,
why wouldn't they? They don't want them deported for rape and murder. Oh my gosh. Republicans,
what are you doing? Can you just get over the bot accounts for five seconds and maybe actually be
creative. Oh, wait, you haven't hired anybody this creative lately? Oh, it's a problem.
They haven't. That's why everything that they're putting out, they have no, like, their ads are bad.
They need to hire like memers and trolls to make these ads. Imagine that. Imagine giant
billboards up around Minneapolis. That would, that would be damning. Make them own this.
Make them own this. Make them on this. Make them on the Somali fraud. I mean, that would be, that's my whole campaign strategy.
That would be my whole ad in that area.
Oh, my gosh.
I would have giant, giant poster boards.
And we would play like a guess who game outside of any and all of their events in Minnesota, Minnesota Democrat events.
I would be, I would have people at every single ICE operation there to counter protesters with literally the pictures and the rap sheets on giant poster boards of all of these criminal illegal aliens.
So that way these protesters can see who they're out there in the streets protecting.
And any and all media, any all video, any all footage would have that element as part of it.
It would be inescapable.
I would saturate everything that they do with the association.
Where are Republicans in this?
Grow some balls and start fighting back with teeth.
