Starting point is 00:00:00 Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by KELTEC. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Okay, I definitely want to do the Native American Jewelry
Starting point is 00:00:20 winner, the Indigenous American Jewelry story. I did not even know that this is actually funny. So a Florida man got indicted in Wisconsin because he was selling fake Native American jewelry, Tampa Free Press. Now, the reason, and Keynes, like, why are the penalty so strict? Well, because he used the mail service. And when you use mail, that's a federal charge on top of it.
Starting point is 00:00:46 So that's why, yes. So if you go back, so he got charged with wire fraud, mail fraud, and misrepresenting, which I didn't know it's a charge to misrepresent American Indian produce codes. Okay. Jose Manila. That sounds right. Yeah. of Castlebury, Florida.
Starting point is 00:01:05 He fake being a Native American like Elizabeth Warren, sold counterfeit jewelry. By the way, if that's a charge, why is it? So they said that, blah, blah, blah, fraud for that. But he used the mail. And so when you use the mail, the postal service in any kind of like fraud scheme or anything like that, then it's considered, it's an additional charge on it. Like, for instance, the whole case, the guy that Amy Coney-Barritt, the can't-R-V-Barr case, the reason that guy got that charge elevated to a felony because it was a fraud case is because he used the mail.
Starting point is 00:01:47 And that's why it was elevated to that felony charge. Which just blows me away because I thought it was about maybe he charged these guys like 500 bucks instead of like 20 bucks. Oh, you use the postal service. See, they can screw you, but you can't screw them. And then I was thinking, if I'm the guy spending four figures or, five figures on jewelry that's supposed to be like ancient Indian jewelry. I'm going to probably try and vet it a little better. You think?
Starting point is 00:02:10 Why is the responsibility on the guy trying to make a buck? Wait, you're saying if you think that you're buying scamy stuff, you deserve it. Yeah. Yeah, I don't disagree. Yeah. I mean, you know, if you think you're going to get a big old chunk of turquoise for like $5, then you probably deserve to be scammed. You're too damn dumb.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Yeah. And I get that, I mean, if he's trying to pass it off like an investment in, you know, then you do your vetting. Do your vetting. I'm just saying, you know, don't hate the, don't hate the play. I hate the game.
Starting point is 00:02:39 That's literally what you just advocated. That's your law. It's your law. Oh my gosh. Oh, let's see. I don't. Okay, I do want to, I saw this story.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Someone sent this to me. This was like a couple of days ago. And it made me think of the National Lampoon's Christmas vacation when Cousin'E's got his little camper outside and he's emptying the septic system into the storm drain, which you're not supposed to do. Okay, well, this lady, it's the shadow bay community. Apparently, she did not realize that she could not just wash away
Starting point is 00:03:15 concrete into the drain. And she did. And it created a total catastrophe. Yeah. They said that the drain pipe, it led to massive flooding, like massive standing, like massive standing. water in the streets, all this stuff because she decided she was, yeah, you can't rent, you can't do stuff like this. And that was in what neighborhood. Yeah, the North Shadow Bay Boulevard, the Shadow Bay community. And it was made even worse after storms pushed through the area. You can't do stuff like that, guys.
Starting point is 00:03:51 You can't, good heavens. A Florida woman tries to talk a bystander into fleeing after crashing a BMW into a Popeye's chicken. She is heard in the video going, I cannot go to. jail. It was a Miami Popeyes. She crashed her car into her BMW under the front door of a Popeyes on Sunday
Starting point is 00:04:10 and the car plowed through a bus stop, smashed into the doors before finally stopping. Thankfully no one was injured. Channel 7 News Miami reported they said that because there's video. The driver wasn't going to stick around initially and yeah, that was going to be real serious
Starting point is 00:04:26 if she actually had fled. And she, one witness was approaching and tried to help her out. She said, thank you. I appreciate it. I cannot go to jail. I can't. I can. I won't last there. And she goes, I got to go. I got to go. And he says, she's telling him, let's go, let's go in the video. But someone convinced her to stay. They didn't identify who it was. But someone finally convinced her to stay. She was charged with careless driving and driving too fast for conditions. It would have been a lot worse if she had
Starting point is 00:04:54 fled. Like that would have been, oh man, that would have been really bad. But also, how do you plot through a bus stop and run right into a Popeye's chair? chicken. A man survives an attack by an eight-foot bull shark off of Key West. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. It's crazy. He ought to get that bite mark on his leg totally tattooed though. Jose Abru, 37-year-old spear fisherman. He was reeling in a catch on Monday and an eight-foot bull shark tried to steal it. But instead of grabbing the fish, I guess it's because he was bringing in the fish towards him. It grabbed his leg twice and then went after his shoulder. He was able with a friend to fend off the shark and get to safety. there's video of first responders helping him off of the boat and then they were trying to strap his leg,
Starting point is 00:05:37 haul him under an ambulance, all of that stuff. But he said he didn't have time to be scared. He was just trying to figure out how to live. But his friend helped save his life and he goes, man, he said the shark was super fast and by the time he saw it to him up to him, it was too late. But my gosh, he had to be airlifted to the nearby hospital. That's crazy. And I mean, the bite mark goes from all the way like mid-shin, all the way up into the thigh above his, above his meat. That's crazy. And the fact that it didn't take his leg off when you see the bite is wild. I can't believe it didn't take his leg off. That's wild. And it went back from like three times total. Our partners, Keltek, awesome American company. Keltek American company and Florida born and bred. And they share your values, obviously,

See everything that Keltek has to offer for yourself at celticweapons.com and be sure to follow them on social media that's
Starting point is 00:07:03 k-el-t-ecweapons.com tell them dana sent you um i know that there was not the same red meat sort of blood and soil nationalism that you might hear and i don't know other parallel universe republican conventions but i do think there were some sort of easter eggs of white nationalism in the speech one of the things that stuck out to me was when he started talking about what america is he said america is not just an idea it is a group of people with a share of history in a common future. The thing about America is that it's not a group of people with shared history. In fact, that is the dumbest step.
Starting point is 00:07:42 First off, that's not really what an Easter egg is. It's not like, you know, some kind of, like, reference with a double meaning or something. And, like, that's usually what you would seem like movies or games or something. That's not what that is. It's just so dumb. Cain was like, it's like these people are using the language of, you know, the current generation, like, oh, hey, fellow kids. using some of your language.
Starting point is 00:08:07 It's just not the same. That's so goofy. That's MSNBC. And first off, welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you, top of this third hour. You can watch Channel 347, the simulcast of the radio program if you're not listening terrestrily. Find us on X. Rumble, all that good stuff. The idea of a family plot, J.D. Vance, he made a joke during, he made a joke during,
Starting point is 00:08:34 his address when he was accepting the vice president nomination, he made this joke where he was saying that, you know, he had a family plot or something like that. And people act like it's like a white, that's a white nationalist thing if you have a family plot. Are you kidding me? Is that a white, that's, how was that a white nationalist thing? They hate normalcy, I think. And so they're trying to demonize everything that's normal. They've gone after his, Venmo friends. I'm surprised they haven't gone after his Spotify. Oh, wait, nope, that's actually they did. Oh my gosh. I literally was making a joke as this story came up. I'm turning into the Simpsons. J.D. Vance's personal Spotify playlist littered with anti-Trump artists. That's an actual
Starting point is 00:09:38 story. Hold up. Let me look at that. I can't believe that's a story. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on, hang on, hang on, I got to look at it. I can't. Oh my gosh. It's real. It is actually real. It is so real. I can't.
Starting point is 00:09:52 I'm, it's a daily doppies. I was joking. This proves they have nothing. They literally have nothing. I'm dying to know what's on this playlist right now. Right. So a Spotify profile with his name and a 2021 photo of himself with his dad at a Trump rally shows the current Ohio senator following three accounts. Imagine Dragons.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Rage Against the Machine. and a lawyer who graduated from Yale the same year he did. And they said that he has seven public playlists, five of which he curated, and those include playlists named Making Dinner, Running Number One, Soul Plus, and two other playlists titled after Songs, Morning is Broken by Cat Stevens and Gold on the Sealing by Black Keys. The two playlists he did not create are acoustic covers, and then apparently a lullaby, because he's got three kids, like a little playlist of like kitty lullabies. that's so funny
Starting point is 00:10:46 what are we supposed to get from that he's like hitler if hitler would have had a playlist you know and so here they they go oh okay now to Steve because Steve is like waiting on the edge of his seat for those so he's got a 40 minute making dinner
Starting point is 00:11:02 playlist that he created in 2012 and it includes Justin Bieber's one time and he's gold on the ceiling has Cheryl Crow Ryan Adams
Starting point is 00:11:17 Oh Lisa Loeb That's some Death Cab for Cutie Tracy Chapman Billy Bragg Who else? I don't see many Oh and then they
Starting point is 00:11:29 Wait this is an actual graph Notably absent from Vance's public Playlists are prominent Trump Supporting musicians Like Ted Nugent, Kid Rock and Trace Atkins What?
Starting point is 00:11:40 Maybe he's not into that music Really? Steve, what were you going to say you were going to comment on some of it. Well, so not a bad playlist, some of it. And also, we play a lot of songs, especially on the show of artists that literally hate Republicans, but we still like the music, you know? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. That's a great point. That's how the left is. I can't enjoy anything unless that agrees with me 100%. That's why their art started to suck really bad, too, by the way. I mean, nobody, I don't care if someone,
Starting point is 00:12:06 oh, and it went over all this. Like, all this. Gosh, just so bad. This is so stupid. This is a hit piece? Oh my gosh. He's got Cheryl Crow on a playlist. His Natsified playlist. Oh my gosh. This is so stupid. And it's, hang on, he's got,
Starting point is 00:12:29 oh, he's got some U-2. What else? Okay Go, The Killers, Matt and Kim. Bonnie rates on his morning as broken playlist. Casey Musgraves. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:12:45 This is a milk toast list. This is the prize to desperately trying to find something about him. Because see, he wrote the book about himself. So there's nothing else they can do on him. He came out with it. He's like, yeah, I got a mom who's a junkie and all this. I mean, he came out. There's nothing they can do.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Not only did he come out with it, but he made a movie about it with Ron Howard for crying out loud. What else are they going to? And Glenn Close. What else are they going to do? They're like, damn, we can't go after him for having a junkie. mom. Gosh, dang it. And then he had her at the RNC. And you know they're extra salty because Netflix reported that Hillbilly Allergy is actually performing well, doing well on these platforms. Yeah. They have no. I mean, I can you imagine
Starting point is 00:13:32 if they might, so I don't know, how may we pull this up. I have a whole list on, I have a whole playlist on Spotify. Hold up. Let me pull this up. Called songs about people. people you don't like. Literally. You have a lot of other lists too. Oh, sorry, dislike. Songs about people you dislike. Be went nuts by Benfolds.
Starting point is 00:13:56 The jam, scrape away. They might be giants. When will you die? I hate people by Ante Nowhere League. He was a big freak by Betty Davis. Get in the ring, Guns and Roses. Part-time punks, television personalities. Ripper to Shreds by Blondie.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Vicious by Lou Reed. waitress in the sky by the replacements, no feelings by the sex pistol, stupid girl by garbage. I mean, it goes on. I mean, can you imagine that she actually has a list about songs about people you just like? That's literally what I call it. I curated the list. It wasn't one from Spotify. He just has literally dinner time.
Starting point is 00:14:31 And then the name of a gold, a black key song that he just didn't feel like titling the playlist. Isn't that a lullaby song? Oh my gosh. They are freaking out that there's nothing to freak out over. That's what it is. They're freaking out. And so they get mad because he talks about having a family plot. Can I just talk for a minute?
Starting point is 00:14:49 So I don't know if it's like a thing in like southern parts of the country. I think they have family plots in like the northern Yankee parts of the country, for the lack of a better way to put it, right? That's why you have all those creepy old family cemeteries and like New York and things like that, right? It's not unusual. My family on one side of my family, they have. have a family plot out in the out in the Ozarks on top of a hill. They get a little over the top with some of the graveyard accoutrements. You know, like, I just think it's weird if you're putting
Starting point is 00:15:22 wind chimes up in a cemetery. I'm like, who's listening to that? You know, they, my family's to do this thing that I would make fun of called the Southern Graveyard Vigil where they would go and constantly put, like, knickknacks and stuff on like all the tombstones. And I would have an uncle that would get real mad and go up with a garbage bag and sweep it all up because he was tired of all the can putting stuff up there on like fiber optic angels and all types of stuff. I'm not even kidding. Like it was over the top, right? Like the pinwheels and everything. Like that's creepy. Stop. But it's just the thing. I don't know. And it's not like it's a fancy thing. It's just plots in the earth. That's all it is. So why are they acting? I mean, if you look at like the left,
Starting point is 00:16:01 they have like mausoleums and stuff like that. Stop it. It's not unusual, right? How is that white nationalism? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Like I said before, they're just trying to take normal and make it look weird. I can't even. I don't know. This is, it's, this, these people are ridiculous. This is so ridiculous. Well, you know, it's like, it's a white nationalism.
Starting point is 00:16:28 It's an Easter. No, it's just literally a cemetery. You dumbie. It's a cemetery. It's not. And I hate the media's phrases like Easter egg and, you know, dog whistle. That was another one. dog whistle where no one said anything bad.
Starting point is 00:16:42 It's just that the stuff they said could sound like something. This is so stupid the media in the left. So is everybody a racist if they have a family plot? White nationalist, yeah. Oh, sorry, white nationalist, which is apparently not a racist, I guess. I even know that. So if you have a family plot, that's white nationalism? Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:08 which is that worse than racist? Or is it a higher level of racism? Is it the same thing? Is there just sounds more organized? Base racism and then. Sounds like more official. Like you get like a patch or something. Like if you level up from racism, you go to white nationalism. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Is that how it works? I don't know. Like when I, as opposed to that, I don't know what the left is really good about groups and lists and stuff. You know, and patches and armbands and things like that. That's like their thing. So I don't know. I'd have to, I'd have to like,
Starting point is 00:17:37 brown shirts and stuff. Yeah, I'd have to default to them on that because that's what they're really experts on. Yeah, like everybody gets a brown shirt. Everybody gets a armband, right? That's like their whole thing. It's what they do. I'm just, you know, I don't know. But they, yeah, they went after his Venmo.
Starting point is 00:17:55 J.D. Vance left his Venmo public. Here's what it shows. Nothing. Wired. Ran a whole story on this. More than 200 people appear on Vance's Venmo list. I mean, there's nothing really there. There's nothing there either.
Starting point is 00:18:16 They're so mad. They're desperately trying to find something. And they can't. They cannot find anything. I'm reading from this article. Vance's friends have an average of 277 friends each. Yeah. I don't even.
Starting point is 00:18:37 No, this is so stupid. This is so stupid. This appears to be his actual contacts, said a guy at some leftist organization. Few of Vance's transactions are public. And those that are seem mundane, like a payment to a staff member for donuts in January. I'm literally not making this up. Wow.
Starting point is 00:19:01 They literally have nothing. Yeah. They, I can't. And then they went and they found one of Vance's former Senate campaign managers, Jordan Wiggins, who apparently would label transactions with joke things, like backwaxing or happy ending and adult and then like a movie thing. And Wired goes, well, these descriptions are likely jokes. Wiggins didn't respond to a request for comment. Because you're a tool is why. I cannot even believe this. Guys, they wrote, let me count the paragraphs for this. For this
Starting point is 00:19:43 But that 2012 Spotify playlist, though. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fifteen, fifteen, sixteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, eighteen, eighteen, eighteen, one. Oh my gosh, twenty paragraphs. This is over two thousand words. Good Lord. On mundane transactions from Venmo. Not a single human has made it through that full article. Oh my gosh. I can't wait for them to look at his open table reservations or his Instacor. Or his Instacart.

So Bob Newhart passed away at age 94. Lou Dobbs passed away last, it was announced yesterday, right, as well, 78 years old. He was very nice.
Starting point is 00:21:44 nice. I was on his show several times. He was a super nice guy. But who is there? There was a third, too. I say this because I go by my grandmother's rule of three. We've had a bunch. I mean, from Shannon Doherty and Dr. Lou. You're going to have to do the math on that to determine whether or not any other celebrities are, I mean. I don't know. I think we do have six over the last, I think so over the last week. You better do the math. So my grandma's rule of three does not come into play here. Just saying. Let's see. Here. Also, this, I got a couple of others that I want to make sure that we get. Oh, Halo, the series at Paramount Plus, was canceled after two seasons, probably because it was horrible. It was really bad. We can all agree. It was really bad, right? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:27 A golf announcer accused Tiger Woods of taking a lot of painkillers amid a disastrous round at the British Open. He says, look at the eyes. He said, look at his eyes. Was it, really? Like, wouldn't it affect your performance? Is golf getting all controversial now? I mean, I'm looking at the video. He's like, there's got to be a lot of painkillers taken. I'm looking at his eyes. It doesn't. I think he sank a birdie put on his first hole yesterday.
Starting point is 00:22:52 I don't even know what that is, but I watched video of him. I don't know nothing about golf. I'm not Kai Trump. God lover. She's adorable. I don't know anything about Trump. He completed the ball in the hole with one less stroke than par. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:04 All I know is I saw video Tiger was out there like swinging around and I'm like that does not look like a dude on painkillers. I'm sorry. It just doesn't. I don't know. Let's see here. there's a couple, I know, there's a couple others. This guy, I wanted to touch out, wait, he missed the cut again, though. Steve adds
Starting point is 00:23:18 at the last minute? Yeah, he did. Okay. At Kansas College professor was hospitalized after a bizarre chain reaction left him allergic to barbecue. So he got bit by a tick, and apparently the tick, you remember the stuff that we've had in headlines before where it makes you, that's my worst nightmare.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Apparently, they say, and I'm reading this, it's a complication that occurs, body releases chemicals, in response to an allergen, in this case, a compound in red meat that you can the source of that can actually be a complication, something from a tick bite, like the Lone Star Ticks. It's called the Alpha GAL-G-G-L syndrome, A-G-S. And it emerges as like a digestive upset, and it says that the saliva and the tick or the tick saliva can contain a sugar molecule called A-G-A-L, and that it can enter the bloodstream, sending your immune system in overdrive as a reaction if you eat like red meat or animal-based.
Starting point is 00:24:12 products like cheese. Okay, I am not a conspiracy theorist, but what if these things were engineered to get people off of red meat, animal products because of the green new agenda? And so, therefore, this is how it's being introduced into the human population. You just spoke the most truth in like five seconds that I've ever heard in a while. Just saying. I speak truth every day. But I'm just saying, you know, as, you know, speculatively.
Starting point is 00:24:36 It's kind of weird, right? Right? What do you think, chat? Right? Stick with us. We got more in store. I want to point out one thing. I'm speaking to fellow Christians.
Starting point is 00:24:47 I was raised Catholic. I'm a Christian girl. When something like this happens to you, like this assassination attempt, and you say something like God was watching me, that is a very unchristian thing to say because it's very narcissistic. What about, what about Corey? What's his name of Comfortory, the fireman who also got killed? I don't know. I think I'm Christian. What about all those guys who got killed on?
Starting point is 00:25:10 Sandy, fuck, all of those people. right now. That's Joyless Gabbar, as Kane has said, from the view. Yeah. And she's like, well, you know, that sounds very nice. So are you doubting the omnipotence of God? Joy, you big, oh, Christian, you. I mean,
Starting point is 00:25:28 there's many things I think about Joy Behar. But her being a person of faith is not one of them. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. The Lord put a hand over my mouth. I'm telling you what, because times like these, I was made for times like these. I really got to turn on the nice girl filter because, oh man, what an ignorant thing to say.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Can you just go on TV? I get it that you got to sit here and wrestle the jimmies of your viewers, of your base, which are a bunch of apparently disgruntled bitches that just watch this show for who knows whatever reason. Why does anybody watch the view? Is it to try to fill the hole in your life that a frenemy that you could barely tolerate because they were dating someone in your friend group and you would go out for dinner or drinks? so you would just let them run their mouths. Is it to fill that hole in your life?
Starting point is 00:26:14 Because I have no idea why anybody would watch this program. Do you? Does anybody, would you ever want to be friends with the type of woman that is like represented by that program? No. No. I watch it like I watch, you know, racing. I don't watch it for the same reason that I avoid like rusty nails. You know?
Starting point is 00:26:33 Or puddles that look suspiciously disease filled. That's the same reason why I don't watch. I avoid watching that program. I watch it. just for the entertainment value of all the stupid things they say. It's entertaining sometimes. I mean, I just can't believe people just say this type of stuff. Like, ah, well, he's not real Christian.
Starting point is 00:26:53 What does it matter with you? Golly. She's the new arbiter of all things, moral. Yeah, I'm telling you what. I just, these, they don't know how to react to this. So they're just, this is what, this is the type of stuff that they're, they have no idea how to react to it. It's weird because you have half of the left that's going, well, wait a minute now. Actually, I would divide them in three groups. You have one half of the left that's like,
Starting point is 00:27:19 okay, there's something happening here. And this is some pretty powerful stuff. And then you have the middle group that are like, well, I don't know. I mean, it could be a conspiracy there. And then you have this, you have this kind of stuff. Can we play this, just like the first part of this Mark Zuckerberg audio? Because it's the reaction of people that I think we assume maybe are on the left. Maybe they're a little bit more centrally located than they are leftist leaning, but the left does not know how to deal with people like this, leaving the thought plantation. Listen. I've done some stuff personally in the past. I'm not planning on doing that this time. And that includes, you know, not endorsing either of the candidates. Now, look, I mean, there's obviously
Starting point is 00:28:00 a lot of crazy stuff going on in the world. I mean, the historic events over the last, like over the weekend. And, I mean, on a personal note, it's, you know, I mean, seeing Don't know. Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life. So that's Mark Zuckerberg doing an interview and what looks to be a Hobbit House. I don't even know where he's, what that is. But it's so weird. It's just everything is so weird when he does these interviews.
Starting point is 00:28:31 But, you know, you have stuff like this. You have stuff like that. You also have, I mean, they don't know. Oh, Audio Soundbite 25. Van Jones, who I'm not a fan of, because he was a 9-11 truther. Van Jones, who made, I think, the people at whatever network he's on very upset when he said this, this is Audio Soundbite 25.
Starting point is 00:28:53 So that's why people are so mad about it. We are like minutes away, minutes away from Hulk Hogan, Dana White, and Donald James. All right, so who do they want to run it? Let's talk about that. I want to say, so we can have an academic. You know what? Let me check out of that. You see something?
Starting point is 00:29:07 I want to say that. This spirit that this guy has, you guys think this because he's drunk, he's not. This whole thing is like this. And what? Hey, listen. Hey, guys, the last time I was in a convention that felt like this was Obama 2008. I got to tell you, there's something happening. Like in 2012, the 2012 convention was, the 2016 convention was even kind of, meh.
Starting point is 00:29:33 But I think also stagecraft. But 2012 was boring as all get out. Oh, my gosh. It's one of those boring conventions ever. and I was physically at the convention. It's very boring. I think there's, I mean, people are noticing this, and the left doesn't know how to deal with it.
Starting point is 00:29:49 So they do stuff like this. Audio somebody 29. Simone Sanders. Is she, wait a minute. Isn't she like Jill Biden's person? Is she at MSNBC now? I don't know where these people go to. They're like diseases.
Starting point is 00:30:02 They just keep getting spread amongst the same recipients. Where are they? I don't even know what network this is. Oh, once you hear the audio soundbite, my cutting critique is warranted. Audio sound by 29, listen to this. Sickened by the prop that was Mr. Comparator. Exactly. Comparatory.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Comptory. I was sickened by them using him as a prop, his firefighter jacket, and then they spelled the man's name well. And so he said, oh, we're so grateful that the fire department sent this to us. These are local dangone dollars, okay? This is not, you know, Chicago Fire. It's a little bad thing about to come on. I've got their names on the back of the jacket.
Starting point is 00:30:42 It's like, who are you falling? But didn't they put the name on it? And they spelled it wrong. I was just kind of like it. Okay, that was literally his jacket. Again, USA Today fact checked this. That was literally his jacket. That was at the fire department.
Starting point is 00:30:52 That's how it was spelled there. And there are photos of it that USA Today has published. And maybe if Simone Sanders was not looking in the mirror at herself, trying to figure out her best angle for her best viral soundbite and maybe put a little bit more effort into researching the top. that she was assigned by the cable news network that is slumming it by having her on, then maybe she would understand that and provide a little bit more of an honest analysis of the evening. But instead what you get is trash from trash people with trash opinions,
Starting point is 00:31:23 trash awareness, trash education, trash, trash, trash. The family sent that up. Who are you to criticize what this family, who lost their father because of rhetoric like the type you support. Who are you to sit here and question what the family is doing? I get it that you are losing your back sides and that you overplayed your hand and that you're over your skis or whatever other analogy you want to offer to show how stretched out you are beyond any reason. I get that you're freaking out right now and you've got this desiccated old racist in the White House. And I can actually say that with validity because when you eulogize a clan member, when you drop slurs on air, when you bemoan the integration of everybody in schools because you're a big champion of segregationism
Starting point is 00:32:14 and you drop words like, I don't want my kids, what is it, growing up in a racial jungle, as Joe Biden has said on television before. Yeah, and that's all you have and that's your best hope and you're free. I can see why you're freaking out right now. When identity politics is falling apart before your very eyes and you have nothing left but a bunch of hammers and sickles of different accords, yeah, I get it, that you're freaking out right now. But that's no excuse for you being a garbage human. It's just shameful. These people have no self-awareness.
Starting point is 00:32:44 They have no sense of shame. I'm just, I'm done with it. And quite frankly, I enjoy watching them. Just rithe. I really do. I really do. Because they deserve it. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast.
