Dana Lashes of Sur Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. I am intrigued by this headline. A man was arrested in Surfside after odd behavior with a Chucky doll. Nothing about this sounds good. 35-year-old man's behavior with a Chucky doll was so disturbing that police apparently arrested him. according to the report

the individual was waving the doll Thursday along an avenue they arrested him because he was scaring people coming out of a market and they had already given him a warning the guy has a super long arrest record and he's been in and out of jail

he faced a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and breach of the peace apparently he was like another thing that I read said he was sort of like brandishing it like almost like was going to hit people with it and then the stuff that he was yelling and just it's not Halloween man not Halloween just FYI good night that doll is weird anyway I just yeah yeah that's a whole other thing so yeah the odd behavior with uh yeah this um I wanted to

read this story that I saw but I think it's just about this woman and her eyelashes it's hang on I'm So this, I'll put this in here. Because you got to really see the lashes to believe them. Gotta be honest. She is described as having been intoxicated, intoxicated and disruptive. And she had open containers at HCA, Florida Northwest Hospital. Okay, can I just, did you see her?

Okay, yeah, Kane saw the mugshot once preparing it for you. A, I don't know how you see. B, your eyelashes should never be more, they should not be bolder than your eyebrow. out. They shouldn't create wind force. Yeah, I mean, it looks like there are just a bunch of tarantula legs that are on her

eyelid. And that doesn't look natural or good to anybody, guys. I'm a maximalist. But sometimes that's too much maximalism. That's just saying, you know. Maybe she's going with it. I don't know. But this was on February

20th. It's the Margate Police Department. Apparently, they responded because of a disrupt. individual. The staff had apparently asked the woman, Kimberly McMahon, to leave as she was not a patient and was causing a disturbance. They escorted her outside. They issued her a formal trespass warning. They told her multiple times to get her stuff and leave, but she refused to comply. She got into a verbal altercation with actual hospital patients and staff and people were concerned for safety for safety. And then during the investigation, she had like all of these open bottles of alcohol, like on her person, in her possession, like, open containers and bags and stuff. So they transported her to the Broward County Jail. She was released after posting $750 bond. But it was her and her eyelashes causing all them problems.

Girl, like, what are you doing? A Florida man attempted not one, but two kidnappings in the exact same evening. According to Channel 13 ABC, this is in South Miami. They arrested a man who's being held without bond on two charges. Brian Gamboa would try to kidnap two ladies in the same day. surveillance cameras outside of a South Miami hospital entrance. What's happening with the hospitals? They captured the moments of a woman who is visiting a patient at the hospital.

He attacked her. He tried to grab her. He threw her to the ground and was trying to take her and telling her to be quiet. And she was immediately like looking at him when she walked in according to CCTV. He also had zip ties on him. And they, in the video, the victim convinced the man to release her. She ran into the office. The doctor came out.

He tried earlier in the day they discovered the exact same thing with a 16-year-old girl. He grabbed her. She was on the phone with a friend, and he pulled up in front of her in a car, got out, and tried to grab her. She was able to fight him off and get away. I think this guy needs to be dragged behind a vehicle throughout the streets of Miami, personally. That's me. That's how I would solve this problem. My choice of penalties, not necessarily someone else's, but that's how I would deal with it.

And then, well, we're not out of time. Tomorrow I'll tell you about the guy who tried to impersonate a Bank of America fraud agent and stole a lot of money. People who helped bring you the program. It's our friends over at Caltech, the PR 57. It is a 5-7 from Keltec. And this is a great Florida-based company. This is new for them. We talked about the PR-57 rotary barrel pistol chambered in 5-7. It's 40% lighter than the next lightest five pistol. It has a unique top-loading design that replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips for a slimmer carry profile and a 20-5. plus one capacity, low recoil for ease of use and accuracy, engineered for simplicity and reliability, quickest and easiest field strip available. MSRP is only $399, so it's super affordable, made in either Florida or Wyoming. They have a new expansion facility, and this was one of the first

ones out of that production line there. It's the first of its kind. Keltex PR 57, Rotary Barrel pistol, chambered in 57, Keltecweapons.com, innovation performance, Keltec, KELT, TEC, K. Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this second hour. Channel 347, Direct TV is the simulcast. You can also find us on X as well as YouTube. And sometimes it works over at Rumble.

Sometimes it doesn't. But that's where the chat is. So that's where we're at. I'm scratching my head here. because Jake Tapper has a new book out. Jake Tapper's new book is called Original Sin, President Biden's decline, its cover up, and his disastrous choice to run again by Jake Tapper.

Now, you might be thinking, why does that sound so weird? Why does it stick out to me in my mind that Jake Tapper, wrote a book about, and it's going to make money, and he probably got a nice six-figure advance for this book on Biden's decline. Why does it stick out so much? I wonder why that is. Now, that's probably because you have been exposed to Jake Tapper before.

And you have heard him say some things and get upset over things. I don't know. Audio Soundbite 14. Here's a flashback, some flashback audio, wherein Jake Tapper was super offended when the literal subject of his book was brought up. This was what over a year ago. Listen to this. Jake is very clearly a cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable. You are no, it's so amazing. It's so amazing to me that. And try and figure out an answer. A cognitive decline. You're trying to tell me that what I was suggesting was a stuttering. I think that you were mocking his stutter. Yeah, I think you were mocking his stutter.

And I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline. I would think that somebody in the Trump family would be more sensitive to people who do not have medical licenses, diagnosing politicians from afar. Plenty of people have diagnosed your father from afar. And I'm sure it offends you. Your father. So when did Jake Tappert go and get his medical education

because he has a new book out about the very thing that he's reacting to so angrily in that clip and that was a flashback clip he got mad at Lara Trump because she made mention of Biden's

very obvious cognitive decline that everyone thought if we don't pretend it exists then the dirty on washed masses won't know and so they thought that you were just going to go along and not notice that he was barely sentient. So I'm just curious because it was very important to Mr. Tapper that the people remarking on Biden's

cognitive decline have a medical background came. So Jake Tapper wrote an entire book on it where he acts as though. He is sounding the alarm. Guys, did you know? Did you know that Joe Biden had a decline? And that it was covered up. And that it's disastrous that he ran again. Did you know it?

I mean, it is breaking news with Jake Tapper. That's like someone coming out now with a book about, did you hear that the Titanic ran a foul of an iceberg? It's the same thing. They, he's, I don't know who Alex Thompson is. He writes this book with him. And the, this is one of the descriptions of it, quote, from two of America's most respected journalists,

an unflinching and explosive reckoning, ooh, with one of the most fateful decisions in American political history, Joe Biden's run for re-election despite evidence. What of his serious decline amid desperate efforts to hide the extent of that deterioration? Well, we know pretty factually that Dr. Tapper, I mean, Jake Tapper, I don't know. Maybe he's a doctor now. Can we, Cain, will you check that please? And will you go into our heart? Hogwarts-esque archives of stories and C maybe per chance. He got his doctorates or some sort of medical training because, you know, he's very

particular, Mr. Dr. Tapper, about criticizing Biden's decline if you don't have a medical background, as you heard in that flashback audio that we just played for you moments ago. It's a half step ahead of you have been looking at it right now. Were you? Can't find anything yet. I'll let you know. Gosh, dang. Well, maybe he's, I don't know.

maybe he didn't go grades, but he's still, you know, maybe does, I don't know if he's got his medical license or not, but I would assume, surely, surely he wouldn't only now deem that it's okay to write about it because it's financially advantageous to him. Surely not. I mean, listen to what they say about the book. They act like this is brand new information. I can barely get past this first sentence, the drama, quote, in Greek tragedy, the protest. The antagonist's effort to avoid his fate is what seals his fate. In 2024, American politics became a Greek tragedy. So let me pause here.

Allow for me to pause momentarily. It seems as though Jake Tapper also just discovered what a Greek tragedy is. They continue and they say at the debate with Trump on June 27, 2024, the consequences of the deception about his condition and limitations were exposed to the world. It was shocking and upsetting. Okay, there's so much to unpack with that. So part of this from his own book description is that up until the time of the debate, ladies and gentlemen, Democrats had full faith and confidence. in the cognitive abilities of one President Joe Biden. Do you believe that yes or no? Do you believe

that Democrats had no clue about Biden's cognitive decline until that fateful debate, that his symptoms did not present until that fateful debate, that there was no suggestion of any kind of cognitive difficulty or anything of that sort until that debate. Because that's what they want you to think. They want you to believe, and they're doing this to preserve their credibility. They're trying to reclaim, they realize, and maybe for the first time, that they've lost credibility. But they were good little Democrats, and they circled the wagons because that's what the Democrat bosses demanded. Circle the wagons, hide Biden's decline, carry his water.

Well, I guess the reward for that now is Tapper gets to write about it and get paid. Because he probably did get probably a mid-six-figure advance for this book. I don't know who the publisher. Is it Penguin? So I'm really amazed at the continued deception because they lied to you once already by suggesting, and even as you saw in the clip that we played coming in, the vociferous defense of Biden's cognitive abilities in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, even becoming nasty with people who are simply mentioning what we all can see.

And then he pivoted, if you heard in that soundbite, to his stutter. Well, you're just talking about his stutter. forgetting things is not a stutter. Tripping and falling constantly is not a stutter. You're giving a stigma to something that doesn't deserve it because you're too coward, too cowardice to publicly say what we all know. So he's launching this book. And again, I say this often, and I'm going to say it again,

however much you loathe the press. It's never enough. so the book sounds like it's going to do this narrative that Joe Biden was completely fine until that debate and then once that debate happened that's when we all realized whoa what happened what happened with Joe Biden like what uh yeah so I mean there's money guys there's money to be made so the story must be told not for the sake of transparency, but specifically for Jake Tapper to cash in and make some money. By the way, that video of him arguing with Lara Trump, that was from 2020, the 2020 election cycle. Really?

Yes. That was from the 2020 election cycle. But wait, there's more. Can we play this as well? Because this was from, dropping this in slack. this was from the, I think this was one of the debates on CNN and Tapper got really mad about it. And he went after the Democrats who were raising questions about and he said there's, this was right after the debate with Trump. Because Democrats were upset.

So then he was like pretending up, well, we may not know, he was pretending up until this point. But can I also see this? like this is this is from Instagram and when he was interviewing another Democrat this is an interview from 2020 and he allowed these Democrats to come on his program and set up these defenses of Biden's cognitive abilities and run different narratives et cetera and so this was this segment if we can get it this was right after this was on a Sunday so this was right after the Wall Street Journal had published a story on Joe Biden's mental fitness. And Jake Tapper hosted Chris Coons, Senator Chris Coons on the show, and they were defending Biden.

The first time that Jake Tapper ever had to actually say something negative about Biden's cognitive decline, it was right after the debate where you have all of these talking heads assembled there on stage and they don't have any shade. They don't have any, any way to kind of run cover for Biden. They haven't had time to workshop anything. They didn't have time to, you know, figure out, okay, how are we going to deal with us? How are we? And so it was, it was bare. It was just a completely naked response. And they were all very, remember how very careful they were, even Tapper, very careful. Like, well, we saw some things that it's hard to unsee. They, they had to start admitting the truth because it would have so destroyed their credibility.

I think even with members on the left, at some point that you've got to pivot. If you have any of that, just play a little bit. This is when Tapper and Coons were defending Biden right after that Wall Street Journal story on his fitness. This is 2020. They've known this this whole time. In our

politics lead, the White House today vehemently pushing back on the new report on the president's age and mental acuity. The White House communications director posting that the story in the Wall Street Journal was a complete and uttered editorial failure by the Wall Street Journal. Makes you wonder who they're taking orders from, unquote.

Maybe that's an insinuation because the Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corr, which is run by the Murdox. This is all in response to this headline today from the journal. Quote, behind closed doors, Biden shows signs of slipping, unquote. Beyond the headline, there is some critical nuance here. The article is mostly based on observations of Republicans with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the only one going on the record.

So you get the idea. When you brought Coons on, he and Coons were talking about how mean the Wall Street Journal. Of course, they had to bring it up a few more times. They're trying to disqualify the Wall Street Journal by association, which is a logical fallacy. They're trying to say because it's owned by the Murdox, that association means that everything that they publish in their paper or online is immediately suspect when it's actually not the case. And I would think that being able to run defense like this for Joe Biden for this book gave Jake Tapper a lot of notes. to include in his book. I just, it's so low. You run defense for this and then you come out with a book on it. You can't make this up. Our partners that help bring you the program, it's our friends at all family pharmacy.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. For whatever reason, I don't know why, but I was looking, I was like, I think it's probably time for Florida stories. And it's not. I don't know what's happening today. It's the weather, because it's 75 degrees here, and I don't know what to do.

It's just, it's too much. So when man fell in love with an AI bot, he, it's an emotional support AI bot, and he went to traditional family. Do you think this is real, or do they do this just to get stories? He said, he goes, we bond. over studying and we play video games together. Dude, your doll doesn't play anything with you. Okay, it's a doll.

It's not even alive. It's not even dead because it's never been alive. So it's a, and I don't know how to say it, a private times doll. Yeah. Christopher Stokes has been dating. Its name is Acky. What?

Artificial Intelligence bought for five years. It literally looks like a doll. And I don't know. It's weird. It's just so weird. He takes pictures with it. He describes it as his rock. Says he wants to be a traditional family.

And he said he's dated human women before. This is a shot in the dark at companionship. He says she's a digital being. And I don't know. I don't know. So it's an AI that apparently they simulate her physical form in the doll when required. That's even weirder for me. This guy, dude, yo, you're a freak.

You're a freak. That's a freak. That's freak stuff. That's weird. He changes her wigs. Dude. I just, let's not. Let's not. So, let's see, Ozzy Osbourne, they've, he says in his documentary with regard to health issues that they're going to, I guess, do one last Black Sabbath performance. And he says he wants to say a proper goodbye. He's been rocking for quite some time now. And so he's a subject of a new documentary called No Escape From Now, Chronicles his health issues, and the coming final show with Black Sabbath. Very cool. Very cool. The last time, when I, I met Gieser Butler once, we were backstage at a show, and I was pregnant, and I met Gyser Butler, and I got to shake his hand, and it was, they were very nice. But I was, like, huge.

I was house size, and it was very awkward, but I was like, I wanted, I want to be there. Let's see. Anyway, Betty White gets a new Forever stamp. Yeah. You're all right with it? I'm up for that. I mean, do people still get stamps? Yeah, the Forever one.

you're supposed to be good because they keep wanting to raise the price of the damn stamps. But if you buy the forever one, you never, you know, it'll always be good. Yeah. So, okay, well, so she's going to be, they ought to have like one whole golden girl stamped. I think they, she's one of them. So, yeah, we got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. All right.

So one of the things that we were talking about is this, uh, the leaking of, uh, the taxpayer information of over 400,000 Americans, including Trump's and his stuff that was late. You guys remember that story when that happened. the IRS, they confirmed the House judiciary, and this where this comes from, the committee's suspicion and recent reports that show the scope of the leak was much broader than what they originally reported. The Biden administration, under the Biden presidency, the IRS, was telling people that it was only 70,000 taxpayers affected, and it's actually almost half a million. Major, major scandal. And it was all disclosed by a guy who goes by the name of Mr. Littlejohn.

Now, I bring this up because the two-tiered system of justice, again, going back to Trump making a single payment in 11 installments and how many, what did he get, like 34 felonies, 35 felony charges for that? For one payment made in 11 installments, they were able, they were trying to cobble together 34 felony charges. And remember every single time someone did anything, it's like if you pick up a box and you put the box down, you hand the box over to someone, every little thing is a process charge. Like every. So that's where they got 34 charges out of one transaction that was in 11 installments. This guy literally leaks 405,000 tax returns. And he was charged one singular count. I am shocked. I mean, I shocked, but at the same time, I expect it.

These are also the same exact people who were raising all hell over these doge nerds. And I don't say that as a pejorative. Having read-only access under a non-disclosure agreements to try to figure out the way in the fraud and the abuse of many of these agencies. They don't care about the security of your private information. They just care about the security of other people seeing what they do with your private information. That's what this is all about. That's just really wild, really wild.

And I hope that something's done about it. That would be great. Then you also had, I saw this last night. You may not know this account. It's called Dad or Republican. I noticed them. a couple of months ago, and they started following me, and I noticed they had reposted.

It had something to do with budget. And then I started looking at their account. I followed them because they had some really, I mean, it's really good information on their account. And when I see accounts like this, and there's a ton of them all over social media, they are, they're always individuals that do something,

and I, again, not saying this is mean at all. Like, they usually have really nerdy jobs. right like some of these people that just crunch out these numbers every day like not not for anything other than they enjoy it it's a hobby for them it's a side thing for them and that's what this account did and they were exposing the abuses of u.s aid funding there's a piece on bread state right now that dives into this and i saw this last like out of nowhere i saw this last night and It totally shocked me because the website that they have too is called Data Republican. And Data Republican last night tweeted out, quote, I have been doxxed.

And then rather than let others control the narrative, they write, I am addressing this directly. So they give out their name. Jenica Pounds. She says she recently resigned from her job to pursue Doge adjacent efforts full time. She says her background check is still in progress. Her ultimate goal is to work with the admin to cut waste and improve efficiency. She also adds that she gave up everything to do this, her safety of her career, because she believes in what she's doing. She also adds that she's 100% deaf and nonverbal.

Her lack of signing fluency does not make her any less deaf. She gets into some of the explanations on that. She says she's deaf and that she doesn't believe that community should be politically aligned, etc. And they docks her. They didn't just go after her. They tried going after her employer. They were trying to find

anyone that she made, like anybody that she talked to, anybody that she worked with. They apparently tried contacting her employer. They, I mean, everything. So I, it's wild. This is what the left does.

And she just, she just went out with it. Apparently, Rolling Stone was asking about her work and her previous employer. And particularly, and she named the reporter that was doing it, Jacqueline Sweet. She says, is that clear? Because this person apparently also freelances at Rolling Stone. So clearly she was over the target. I find that when you're over the target, that's when they come for you. When you're over the target, that's when they're over the target, that's when they, That's when they come at you. That's when they try to, you know, a million things. They try to get you six different ways to Sunday. So she's clearly over the target. She's, you know, was pointing out so much of this wasteful spending.

And, you know, things that you weren't necessarily hearing like on CNN, et cetera. And so they really went at her. So she's just like, I'm not going anywhere. I'm just going to keep doing it. But, you know, here's what. This is me. So she took away their fuel. and she covered it.

I mean, the NGOs, she covered everything. She talked about the NGOs being entrenched in the Democrat Party and the one system. And she goes after Republicans just as much

because they need to be gone after. I mean, you know, the Uniparty's a real thing. So they went after her because she's too effective. Isn't that something? Go after somebody because they're just too effective.

So you got to, they were trying, I guess they thought they could scare, her into silence. That's also a tactic of thugs, too, trying to scare people and intimidate them into silence. So she's going to keep going. Good for her. And I don't know if Rolling Stone wants to, if they're going to actually pursue. I mean, you guys saw what happened when they went after the Covington school kids. I think that's going to go so well for them. So in addition to that,

I know, there's, they're going to fight you on this. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast. If you haven't already, make sure. to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.
