Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Florida man who is upset with his mama over money, runs straight up into a 74-year-old victim because he was just there. That's what he told the police. He was at an intersection. This is Hernando County. Sheriff's office said, is it quasi or quays?

Quays-levard Simmons. drove into a 74-year-old man, that's a name, 74-year-old man sitting in a chair at the intersection of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, just going through the Chris Rock jokes about that. And it was 10.45 a.m. on a Sunday. It's a church day. It's the Lord's Day. The victim clearly was severely injured in his legs,

and he's got a head trauma. And apparently, according to the police, Mr. Simmons was upset with his mama over money and just out of a fit decided to run into this fella, sitting there in a chair at an intersection. So he's being charged with all kinds of stuff and he's going to jail. Can you imagine? A Florida man was arrested

after a two-month-old overdoses on fentanyl and cocaine. How? The infant's in stable condition. A two-month-old baby. Deputies arrested Clifford Trunich charged him with child neglect, great bodily harm, possession of cocaine,

possession of fentanyl, with evidence. They notified DCF. But I'm, how does that even happen? I mean, I guess the baby can just be around it and be exposed to it that way.

I really don't know how a two-month-old ingest cocaine and fentanyl. I've got questions. Kids are always hands on the ground, hands in their mouth. Well, this is a two-month-old. Yeah, the two-month-old can't really move all them. I mean, you know, they can, yeah, do that.

But it's like, how, what did they touch that they got? That's how irresponsible the parents were. Oh my gosh. I can't even deal with this. This is insane. So that's such a heartbreaking story. Let's see. Also, we have a couple of other things here. Not very neighborly. Outdoor life says a Florida man was arrested for assaulting kids fishing in a neighborhood pond. Seven-year-old Florida man, he was arrested for assaulting two kids who were fishing in a pond. This is in Naples, Collier County.

He was taking to jail for one kind of battery. He got mad at the 12-year-old and the 14-year-old for fishing in a community pond. The ponds behind their house, behind his house. He chased them down the street, and then he pushed the 12-year-old, grabbed him by the back of his neck. The dad says he saw a video of the assault recorded that the 14-year-old recorded on her cell phone. And, you know, he said he's 12 years old. You know, they filed an arrest report. Man, I don't know.

If you're that dad, I saw that video, oh, man, I wouldn't be calling the police. I'd be dragging that fellow in the street. That's a promise that he'd be begging for the police to come at that point. But I don't know. He doesn't apparently like, he, even though it's a community pond and there's like a trail around it, the guy still thinks it's part of his property. You shouldn't have bought your house there, then. You dummy.

I always think it's important to be able to protect oneself. And I tell you, guns save lives. We have statistics out there every single day that highlight this. Defensive gun usage is actually over three times out of criminal usage. it's just counted differently city by city, state by state, due to existing local and municipal standards. And as a result, you get different numbers. But by and large, it's always good to be able to protect oneself. One of the companies that makes a good product is Keltec. It's the PR 57.

This is a crazy headline. Young male college grads are now jobless at the same rate as non-grads. This is a story from Financial Times. The unemployment rate amongst U.S. men and women aged 22 through 27 by education level. And there is a serious issue here.

Wow. I mean, and the men and women, I was looking to see about the gender gap. And actually, what I'm reading is that it's not that different. It doesn't matter. Like it shows men and women. I mean, women maybe have a slight little bitty bit advantage and that's it. But these, I think that these degrees, I don't think that you need to go to college and get a degree for anything except if you're going to be, you're going into medicine, law, maybe some engineering. Otherwise, I don't see the point of it.

It's so stupid. It's a racket. It is such a racket. It is such a racket. And it's our problem as a society for using it as like a social circuit. Like we use colleges like a social circuit. So many I see, especially if you're going into like, if you need a degree, if you're going into medicine, you're going into law, having connections and knowing these professors.

And I get where that can also be a benefit. But we don't have to, not every skill set requires that. but we use it as oh well where's your kid going oh they're going here x y z oh they're in this sorority or this fraternity it's used in place of like the social circuit that back in the days of yore we used to have right where you would have oh that's in season and everybody goes to the city and they all go to this it's just a whole i don't know i got i could go on about this for some time but the financial times looked at this they said that the unemployment rate among recent college grads is on the rise. And it's rising pretty steadily. It still is lower than all young workers between 22 and 27.

But now men who have a college degree have about the same unemployment rate as men who didn't go to college. Now, in comparison, they note, around 2010, non-college educated men experienced they had unemployment at over 15 percent, whereas the rate amongst college grads was closer to seven. Well, now that discrepancy is that that difference is gone. And the job market boost that always advertised, you know, for a job if you had a degree, that's gone. Because I don't think people care about credentials as much anymore as they, I see, I see different jobs. Like if I'm out somewhere, maybe you'll see like, oh, we're hiring, you know, you have to like a sign somewhere and they're like, you have to have a bad. I'm just like, you're asking for a degree for a job that doesn't

need one. You're a stupid employer. You're an idiot. Like, what is that? And because Democrats decided to consolidate and control all student loans, they have made it so expensive and inaccessible for people to actually even go to college. You've got to be rich almost to go to college anymore. I mean, you can't even compete and get the scholarships and grants if you tried to, especially if you're, sorry, if you're just like a white suburban kid, you're S-O-L. It's true. So I don't know.

I feel bad for these generations because it doesn't look like it's improving. And so now you have these diverging. It's not even that divergent men and women. I mean, it's really hitting men as well. A lot of Gen Z guys are skipping college and they're going into the skilled trade industry. That's something that AI is not going to be able to take over skilled trades. So there's some protection there. So the and those trades, those.

jobs are male-dominated. They said enrollment at two-year vocational schools has increased 20% since 2020. That's almost a million additional students and vocational careers that people were really snotty and looked down on. Well, guess what? Those are going to be the ones that AI can't take over. You all screwed yourselves. All those, I just, there's just this, like, snotty attitude, I think, that propelled the whole collegiate thing and made everyone discount skilled trades and go into bureaucracy, for the lack of a better way to put it. Don't you agree? And now look who's having the last laugh. Look who is having the last laugh. And they should, because they deserve it. They earned it. Those trades, that's honestly, like, that's going to be

the only place where you're really protected. That's going to be the only place where you're protected. So they said carpenters, mechanics, they're going to start paying even better than they are now. They're paying really well now. They're going to start even paying better than that. All these skilled trades, this is something that that's like the, it seems like that's the last refuge when AI really, really gets its stride. Those things you can't take over. Hmm. You know what? You want to know what the college apt to do? or the aptitude test I took in high school told me I should be a mechanic or a lawyer. I took it three times and I got the same thing every time.

Car mechanic or a lawyer. Yeah. And I'm like, really? And I'm like, they're so different though. But there's like some kind of common denominator, I'm sure in that. Every single time. I got it. I think there's some details in mechanics that are, you need a brain for those details just like you would for law.

Yeah. That makes sense. That makes sense. Yeah. I took it as a freshman, a junior and a senior. I didn't, I don't know why I didn't take it my sophomore. you really only need to take it once but I kept thinking maybe there's something that'll show me

I didn't believe it the first time but yeah that's honest like that is actually very interesting there is something in there that's you know I'm gonna buy a $500 junker car for the show and we're gonna work on it it'll be good well I want to create making it into some mad max thing

oh you don't have to twist my arm and you know I would also like just like because I do have a 50 call and I would love to be able to just put it on a sliding rack where you kick the door open and it's just, shoop, and you're out ready to rock.

It's time for Dana's Quick 5. All right. So apparently this is considered a bad headline. Trump has forced out nearly 10% of the federal workforce, says Huffington Post. Great. And? And?

Thank you, Mr. President. Yeah, thank you. I voted for that. Let's see. Also, House Democrats are calling on Marco Rubio to allow injured children from Gaza into the U.S. following a visa halt. No. have Jordan or Egypt or Saudi Arabia or UAE or particularly Qatar have Qatar take them because they like supporting the government of Hamas. So have Qatar take them. They need to stay there and have their neighbors take them. That's how that works. So no. The Dutch are quietly shifting towards a four-day work week.

Why? Is that because the government's taking over all of their farms and there's less work? I'm just curious. I don't know. Four-day work week? I don't know. it's good to have a happy balance, but I don't think that's the way to approach it. But that's what they're all going towards. It's very interesting. Let's see. Scientists have

created a new life form. Great, because the ones that we have already aren't insufferable enough. Why are we doing this? Apparently, we've created a new life form, and it's called Sin 57, but nobody knows what the heck it is. And the story that Metro UK has, it's in a stupid slide form so that they can load up the page with ads. but it's a bioengineered strain of e-coli. So we created a strain of e-coli. Well, that explains people like Jacob Fry. He's a bio-engineered strain of e-coli who promptly goes out towards the microphone and blames and attacks prayer.

South Park is going to skip some weeks for a stretched-out season 27. Paramount is a-okay with that. Yeah, they probably already knew and they still give them a billion dollars anyway. Your stress hormones will go into overdrive if you don't drink enough water. This is a completely obvious study. Some carry hate. We carry the largest trans pride flag to ever be flown in a national park and unfurled it on the side of El Cap to prove a point that trans is natural.

The Trump administration and transphobes would love to have you believe that being trans is unnatural. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Can be found on every continent and every ocean. Smoky bear. It redefined. smoky bear right there. So this is,

so where do I start? First off, welcome back, Dana Lash with you. The chats at Rumble channel 347 direct TV is the stream. So this is a park ranger in, where was he at again? A park ranger who remember when we first showed you this video and he put this flag up at all Capitaine? Well, now he was, he's been

fired because he's been doing these stunts while he's supposed to be working. Okay, so we're going to do something obvious here. If you are at work and you're engaging in like stunts and political protests instead of doing your job, et cetera, would you get in trouble with your employer? Yes or no? Yes. Okay.

So he was finally fired. and this is how he decides to respond to it. He said that he was devastated. It was his dream job. If it was your dream job, then why did you imperil it by pulling stupid stunts like this? He goes, if you're a federal worker and your identity doesn't align with the administration, you must be silent or eliminated. Okay, first off, that's just a lie. Can we put the screen cap up on when you get a moment of what this guy went to work looking like?

They allowed this. They allowed him to go to work looking literally like. an extra from McDonald's. Like he looks like he just stepped off a play place. Like he has a statue of a play place come to light. This is how he went to work. They allowed this. Oh, he's got his stupid, I don't know, he's got some gloves on and I can't get over,

you know, the stash, whatever. I mean, I don't know. He went to work looking like that. So they had no problem with his identity. It's when he decided to climb up while he was working and hang a made-up flag on the side of El Capiton, that that's when he got in trouble. And then he's like, oh, I can't believe it. They just went to eliminate you. You have to be silent. They didn't even mind when he was like doing videos talking about this originally. It was when he started doing this stuff when he was

working that he got fired. This has nothing to do with him pretending to be a chick. It has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with him using his job and pulling a stunt while he should be working. I wouldn't even let him, I would not even let him go to work. If I was a park ranger, I'm like, what are you doing? You don't have time to sit here and do your makeup and stop and touch up your insane eye shadow while you're working. But he says that, that he was fired because he, everybody's trying to act like they're being censored. They are trying so badly to recreate what they actually did to conservatives during COVID. and the laptop story. Let's not forget the Ministry of Disinformation and that annoying theater

abroad who was heading up that proposed department, Nina Jankowitz, and how they were working to silence people, actually silence dissent. Or let's talk about how the fact, how some of us, every single time a Democrat gets in the White House for every year that Democrat is in the White House, the IRS chooses to audit them. Hmm. I'm sure that's all convenient. only when Democrats are running the White House, though. Interesting, right? If you want to have a discussion about using agencies to silencing it or eliminate people, he was fired because he was insubordinate. This had nothing to do with his identity. These people make themselves victims and then they try to act like it's about something else. No one's silencing you. Don't, don't do your job and there isn't

an issue, but you weren't doing your job. That has nothing to do with free speech. It's just asinine. I keep seeing this over and over again. And Lorraine's like, Lauren goes, he's not even trans. He's a drag queen. Lauren's like, you get out of the trans club. You're not even real. Show me that you cut it off.

Show me. Well, I mean, yeah, none of it. It's all made up. But I mean, it's kind of funny. It makes me think they all want to be censored. They all want to act like they're victims of censorship. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast. If you haven't already,
